This action has a precedent In the ruling

Commissioners and will be Hflhered to by
the present members In South Omaha.
It Is noticeable that a number of tho
South Omaha saloon men without awaiting
orders from the board have voljntarlly
removed their screens and shown evidence
or complying with the provisions of the
Sincumb law.
Aa yet no action has been brought to close
the saloon at the Union stock yards. It Is
likely that th saloon will be allowed to

wages was declared to be organization
to such an extent that the competl
tlon of laboring nen, one against the other,
wouia cease, it was remarked that, aa
long as there were numbers of idle men
waiting for each Job, no demand for an
Increase in wagea could be forced on the
packer. Emmet T. Flood, who has be
oome very well known In South Omaha
this year as an organizer, was the principal
speaker. Colonel T. W. McCullough of The
Omaha Bee waa detained in Omaha by
the requirements of the city election. He
sent hia apologiea to the assembly.
The South Omaha Eagles held a swatfest
laat night at Eagle hall. Athletics were
In order and several musical numbers and
a characterization by Carl Marten! were ap
preciated by a very orderly crowd. The
opening bout waa only three rounds, be
tween Sweeney and Murphy, but it was a
lively little go. Following this. Kail and
Phtney wrestled until Kail won two falls.
He won In three and two minutes each.
Uvkk and Callahan boxed four rounds
with a tremendous amount of energy.
Uvlck was the heavier and was able to
take all the punishment he got without
any visible effect. Callahan received hia
share of hard blows, which swelled his
cheeks and Una slightly. He waa a hard
hitter and fought evenly with the heavier
man. The last bout waa five rounds, be
tween May of Omaha and Broanihan of
South Omaha. The first three rounds were
about even, but in tlie last two May waa
almost out several times and took
count several times, trying to regain

Careless Kxpresaraan Held.
Henry Deerson. a man doing an express
bubinccs in South Omaha, Is being sought
by tlie police on two accounts. The first
la that he has no license and tho second
for bavin lost property placed In hia care
The. property lowt waa u feather bed which
he was hauling with a load of furniture.
He said the feather bed must have blown
out of hia wagon. When he tried to ex
plain to the Irritated woman to whom it
waa a valuable article of household econ
omy, she went at once to the police .t-ition
with his explanation. She had barely left
the station when H. Kaplan, a Junk dealer,
arrived at the Jnll to report that some one
had brought the bed to his place of busi
ness and offered It In pawn. He thought
It stolen property end made his report.
The man who brought It said he had seen
It fall off Deeraon's wagon and had called
the drivers attention to it, but had been
roundly abused for his trouble and the
tick waa left lying In the road. The man
who brought the tick to Kaplan was a
collector of articles of Junk, so the police
scent a collusion between the expressman
and the collector of Junk. The woman re
covered her bed for $1, which Kaplan ad
vanced for the tick.

In order for that date. The golf links were
the subject of attention by the field men
yesterday. The greens were "topped" and
the first of the four bunkers waa com
pleted. The other three bunkers will be
erected as the season progresses. Many
of the golf lovera have been out to practice
around the field. The old greens will be

larger and will, It Is thought, be easier to
approach.
The croquet and tennis grounds are up to

these sports will find enjoyment on the
opening day.

P. Nodlne of Union, Ore., is the latest
victim of the fake express bill confidence

$400 ready cash to , pay some express

Music
Two musical events i iaoed last night
which necessltsted a division of sttentlon
on the part of The Bee s music critic. The
first wss under the management of Miss
Evelyn Hopper and waa held at the First
Baptist church. It whs In the nature of
a song recltsl by Christine Brooks, who
used to live hereabouts, ami consequently
there was much loial Interest In certain
qusrters and a very enthusiastic greeting
was given to the singer. Her program
waa lengthy and of ambitions character.
Christine Brooks has gained In every
direction since siie was first heard here.
Her voice, which seems to be a dramatic
! ,
' ni
exzn-aoptano. lias increased beyond ques
tion, both In volume and color. She puts
Into her woi k a lot nf verve and feeling
which at times amount to rcM tempera
ment. She haa worked hard and seriously,
and she has accomplished mucn: ner wora
Is In a stage of development nt the present
time, and further studies along the line
of enunciation In her German songs (espe
cially In words with the lettor "R. such
as "Heri 'l. and nf the efforts of what IS
called "atmosphere," ror want of a better
name, In the modern French number will
do very much for the dhlgent singer who
gave this recital.
In the matter of tone-production she
achieves some very thrilling and full-grown
tones In her upper voice, and apart from
a tendency to a reedy quality In her mid
dle voice, she gets effects which are fully
up to the standard of the average recltal
Ist appearing upon local boards.
The singing of the MacDowell and Rudolf
Oanx aongs was characterised by thought
and sincerity of purpose. In fact. It wa
to be regretted that the alnger did not
give more along that line. Miss Corlnne
Paulson played the accompaniments with
her usual sympathy.
The second of the musical events was a
very unique concert at the Boyd theater.
It was given to a packed house and enthus
iasm was at boiling point. The concert was
given by the Royal Vendee Regiment Band
of Sweden and Ita visit to the United States
is by special permission of His Majesty
King Gustave of Sweden. John Ekblad
was the director of the music 'which was
furnished by a real brass band and by an
orchestra. The band surely shows great
versatility which can furnish a very ac
ceptable etrlng orchestra and a splendid
sonorous band of bras exclusively. But.
Sweden docs these things rell. The accom
paniment, which were played by the string
orchestra (together with tho usual supple
mentary Instruments), were done with cer
tainty and good taste ar.d always under the
complete control of the director, who kept
the accompaniment beautifully subservient
to the soloist.
The brass band looked radiant when they
stood to play the great airs of the nation,
and the tone from those gold-looking In
strument were noble Indeed, never noisy,
always carefully produced and musically
sustained. In the first part o fthe pro
gram ome composition were given with
masterly skill and artistic dlscretlon-whlch
were entirely new to Omaha audiences.
Mile. Hllma Mattson was the soprano
soloist with the band. She possesses a
voice which Is a clear as the tones of a
vesner hell nn a oulet evening, and she
has a manner which entices and compels
one' attention. Good nature and self
composure are expressed In her feature
and her pronunciation is sunny and dis
tinct. The folk song and the "Lullaby"
by Sjogren were especially appealing. Her
voice has received much (raining and ahe
has a command of her acale and of the
"hake" (not the tremolo) to be envied by
the r;slng young singer. Mile. Mattson
contributed a great deal of pleasure to the
full cup of the evening's enjoyment. K.

Government Land Opon.ng
Big Horn Basin, May 22.
On May 22, l!H)t, the government will open to homestead
12,000 acres more of irrigated land surrounding the new towns
of Powell and (iarland, Wyoming. The ditches and laterals
have been completed and water is ready to turn onto the land
to raise a crop this year.
FIRST COME, FIRST SERVED. These lands are open to the
first legal applicants on that date. Our personally conducted
excursions leaving Omaha at 4:10 P. M. Tuesday, May 18th,
will reach Powell and CJarland the 20th. Thousands of people
are making inquiry about these lands, getting maps, charts,
etc., and if you want one of these farms you should immed
iately send to me for Shoshone Bulletin No. 2, issued by the
government, showing the location of the farm units and giving
you the necessary information to make a filing.
COUNTRY OF GREAT RESOURSES. This is a 'part of the Big
Horn Basin county, containing a great variety of natural re
sources. The oil, gas, coal and timber resources are develop
ing, and a thousand barrels per day oil refinery is now being
built at Cowley, only 12 miles from (Iarland. The government
expects to soon install an electrical plant on the Shoshone river
and furnish eectricity to the farmers at cost. Nothing is too
good for the farmers in this locality and you can get a farm
here from the government at cost without paying a dollar's
profit to anyone,
CAREY LANDS. Very fine irrigated lands along Big Horn river
under Carey Act. Write me.
