This, besides the fact that It Is a well constructed drama. It Is for these reasons that many who saw the play on a previous visit were among the audience which welcomed it back to thla nlty at the Boyd last evening. William Lamp appeara this time In the title role. Aa Alwyn Bennett, elected mayor by a political boss and "big business" ac complice, he disappoints the expectations of the men who thrus the nomination on Mm aa successfully is any other actor who haa played the role. None would com plain of his playing save that the amount of vigor with which he defies the boss In the aecond act might be Increased by a small amount.- It Is, of course, a study In ccntraata here. Ilorrlgan (Louis Hendricks) brutally domineering, smashing down all opposition; the mayor, a character qulta the reverse in accent, quietly resolute, firm, but devoid of bluster. While this contrast ought to be brought out, yet It must be remembered that the extraordinary vigor of the be as may make tha mayor seem almost too gentle If the pianissimo panal la pressed too hard. . Aside from this, and It Is a suggestion rather than an unfavorable criticism, Mr. Lamp waa eminently aatisfactory and in hla most tryhig scene of all where he tells bis mother that It he holda out against the grafters. th,ey will expose the hitherto unknown basenesa of his father's charac terIn thla scene he waa most successful, as waa Ethel Brandon as Mrs. Bennett, his mother. The character of Alderman Pheian, tha ward boas who lined up the mayor to glut vengeance on Horrtgan, hla ancient enemy, la a grateful one. It la cast in thoroughly adequate handa, Felix Haney playing It with sincerity In the aerioua passages and a humor la the comlo which gained him the heartiest applause throughout the evening. Sharing the honors with these two men waa Louis Hendricks as the big boss. In feature and figure ha la well construoted for the part, nor la he lacking technically. He played throughout the big, virile al though corrupt, dominating master of men who ruled with an Iron hand not masked by any velvet glove. Of the women mention haa been made of Miss Brandon. In the principal feminine role Ruby Brldgea was quite adequate and Evelyn Moore amusing aa the girl to whom Everett Butterfleld In he part of Perry Walnwrlght made rapid fire love. The latter found considerable farorwlth the audience. The reat of the company, waa of even excellence.

FOREIGN FIRM DRAWS FIRE Dr, HoloTtchlner Opposes Glvlaa" School Contract to St. Louis Company. J. C. BIxby & Son company waa awarded the contract for sewerage, plumbing and gaa piping In the new Omaha View school by ths Board of Education In adjourned aeaslon late yesterday afternoon. The firm bid 14.488 for the work. Bids for the heat ing and ventilating and for electric wiring also came up, but the awarding of con tracts for this work was postponed until Monday evening. Dr. Holovtchlner started the filibuster which resulted In the postponing of the warding of ths contracts. The lowest bid for heat and ventilation was presented by Lewis & Kitchen of St. Louis, and the doctor objected to tha awarding of the con tract to this firm on account of lta being an outalde concern, employing outside labor, and taking practically all of the money out of Omaha. Lewla & Kitchen also furnish all the plana for heating and ventilating apparatus and the doctor revived the dis cussion of the feasibility of allowing the engineers to bid on their own plans. A. C. Kugel secretary of the plumbers' union, and Henry Bidwell and John Hardin, other members of a committee from that union, appeared before the board and pro tested against awarding the contract to an outside firm. A representative of Lewla & Kitchen made the statement that if his firm was awarded the contract Omaha plumbers would be employed on the work, but it was ahown that men were Imported to Install the heating and ventilating apparatus in the Franklin school, the con tract for which waa awarded the St. Louis house. Upon ths statement of Secretary Burgeas that unless, the board adopted a achedule of aalarlea for the Janitora and englneera In the Lothrop, Farnam and Franklin schools there would be no school Friday, the em ployes being adverse to working without knowing - what compensation they are to receive, the board adopted a schedule of salaries for them last night.' This schedule calls for ths payment of 70 per month for each of the engineers and janitor aalarles of $80 per month In the Farnam school, $85 per month In ths Franklin school and (96 per month in the Lothrop school. Borne of the board membera and many having bids for work on the new Omaha View achool missed yesterday's meeting on account of the system of elevator service In the city hall. Tha elevatora ahut down at f:30 In ths afternoon and those arriving after that hour thought the meeting had adjourned and did not climb tbe five flights of stairs to ths Board of Education rooms.

An In quest will be held today at 3 p. m. Karnett waa a mason by trade and had been working all .day on the walls of ths company's new beef house, which has been raised to the sixth floor. He had finished his work and was on tha point of descend ing the .ladder used by the workmen. He missed, hia footing apparently on the first rung of the ladder and pitched clear of it or any support and fell to the solid oement floor below, .nearly thirty feet. He landed on hia right arm and head. Karnett waa a heavy man of middle age and the blow on hla head caused a basal fracture ' of the skull. He avas taken to the South- Omaha hoapital aa promptly' aa possible. Br. C. M. Schlndel attended him, but little remained to be dona. The man seemed to suffer great pain for ths two hours ha lived, but all the time was nearly unconscious. Karnett ls-surrived by hla'wife, who waa unable to reach him before hla death. He was not' well known In South Omaha, his residence' being In Omaha. The body waa taken In charge by Heafey & Heafey, which firm made arrangements for the Inquest The funeral haa not yet been arranged. New Hog Scraping Machine. Armour & Co. have installed a new hog-scraping' machine which will discount anything In that line. It has a capacity of 8,000' per day, or 800 per hour. The other machines never exceeded 600, per hour. Thla machine does, far better work than the former apparatus. It scrapes the hogs so clean that tha work of nearly ten men following la dispensed with. The former machine consisted of a high perpendicular cylinder, through ths center of which ths hog was pulled up by ths hook In the jaw. In passing they came In contact with the acrapera applied by spring pressure. In this way little hoga did not get scraped hard enough and big hogs got scraped too hard. . . . In the new machine the hog Is picked up in the same way, but starts away on the level. The body of the hog rotates rapidly as It la passed between a series of liorl sontal revolving shafts bearing strips of belting, at tha end of whloh la a metal tip. The strips of belting revolve rapidly and the centrifugal foroe- brings the metal tip or scraper to the body of the hog whether he la large or smart.. The action la not greatly different than .of the revolving snow sweepers in use on the street car lines. All the hair and outer cuticle of tha hog la swept off at great speed. " Tha work is so perfect that even the toe-nails of the hop are In most cases stripped off. This machlna haa been operated In Chi cago. It will be In perfect working order In South Omaha from this time. It haa been set up for a week and yeaterday the results of the run, , we're very satisfactory to the management! 'A number of the other packra have examtned the machine and It ta stated that Swlftf 'and company will" in stall a almllaVone1 in' the new hog killing department, wMcn'W Vbe In operation In the early part of 1S0."
