for It.
R. 3. Dunham of Chlmgo, president of
the Union Stock Yards company was in
South Omaha yesterday morning on one of
the regular tours of Inspection. He said,
"1 am more than usually pleased with the
rapid progress of improvement In the South
Omaha yards. With the work which is at
present contemplated the South Omaha
yards will stand equal to any In the west
In matters of convenience and economy.
It Is the opinion of all who are acquainted
with the west that Nebraska and the ter
ritory within reach of the Omaha markets
Is entering on a period of prosperity such
as the past has never known. Settlement
Is bringing all the fertllo land Into the
fullest cultivation and prices are bound to
remain on a higher plan than during the
earlier history of western agriculture.
"I expect to see the South Omaha yard
do a record breaking business this fall. W
expect to have all thing ready to receive
the consignments a they come. Th plan
w have is to keep the Improvements up
to data and a little ahead of the actual
needs, because we expect a rapidly in
creasing business."
Mr. Dunham will look In at th National
Exchange convention at Denver.
War on Gambling.
Chief Briggs has adopted a relentless
policy against gambling In South Omaha.
A more rigid enforcement of the law and
ordinances may be expected from now on.
Heretofore the police have done all in
their power to check gambling. The de
partment ha forced the vice out, with
th exception of games conducted strictly
under cover. As a sample of what Is to
be expeoted, L. M. Palmer, who has a
pool hall at Twenty-sixth and N streets,
was arreated on th charge of running
a poker game In connection. With him,
Jamea Wilson and W. M. Tryson were
arrested on a charge of gambling. All
parties are colored. The police are in
structed to pay particular attention to
card game and other common forms of
gambling In pool halls and cigar stores.
Chief Briggs demanded $300 bail In the
case of Palmer, and found J 105. 40 aa the
man' capital stock.
"We Intend to stop all gambling In South
Omaha," said the chief. "We have warned
these men, time and again, to conduct
orderly house. If it cannot be done, 1
will close the place and arrest all parties
concerned."

Stanlalav Letovky'a Recital.
From an artistic standpoint at least, th
recital given at Boyd's theater last evening
by Stanislav Letovsky was a distinct and
unqualified success. It was, in the first
place, an event of prime local Importance,
as it was the occasion of th young man
first public appearance since his return
from abroad, where he has received uch
recognition as rarely falls to the lot of one
upon whose ehoulders the burden of years
so lightly rests.
It would seem that the people of Omaha
would manifest sufficient Interest at least
to attend a recital given by one of their
own fellow citizens, who has, at the age
of nineteen years, won for himself a posi
tion as conductor In one of Germany's
well known opera houses. Those who did
attend, however, had the satisfaction of
hearing works of undoubted genius Inter
preted for them by the author himself.
The sonata with which th program be
gan Is a trong and vigorous work in four
movements, which are well proportioned
and contrasted, thematically Interesting
two movements from a conoerto by de
Berlot. HI playing was warmly applauded
by the audience, which insisted upon an
encor. Mr. Kolbaba's aceompanlaments
(were played by Mis Marl Mlk.
Mr. Letovsky ha but recently revised the
proofs of his sonata, and several other of
his compositions, which are at present
being issued by one of the most prominent
publishing houses in Berlin.
He will remain in Omaha until the latter
part of August, when he will return to
Kiel and again take up his duties as con
ductor In the Kiel Stadt theater. J. P. D.

Nachtneble was accused by the manager
of the Willow Spring distillery of stealing
quantities of brass and he was placed un

wife put up for him. HI brother, Qeorge
Nachtneble. who runs a saloon at Third

but the wive of the two men have
kept up neighborly Intercourse and when
Joe waa Involved In the brass incident the
other Mrs. Nechtneble came to the re

the river and got his lines all set for a
few more weeks' hard lubor the women
folk quarreled. Joe and his wife moved to

astonishing, and full of daring, though ef
fective harmonlo combinations. There I
nothing reminiscent of the pupil In young
Letovsky's work. His themes are strong
and big with meaning, and are developed
with a security which tells of the hand of
the practiced master. The sonata was re
ceived by the audience with much favor
and was followed by a group of numbers
by Chopin and Liszt a nocturn and
polonaise by the former, and an arrange
ment of I'aganlnl etude by tne Weimar
master.
While Mr. Letovsky has not mad the
acquisition of an all-encompassing piano
technique, the chief end and aim of his
musical career, he yet disposes over a real
virtuoso mechnlcal equipment. Above and
beyond that he possesses styl of playing
which pulsates with warmth and color,
everflows with temperament, and vibrates
with almost primitive strength. His treat
ment of the piano Is entirely orchestral in
Its style, some of his climaxes reaching
extraordinary llm't of trength. HI
playing of Chopin's A flat major polonal
was remarkabe for it display of breadth
and bravoura.
A group of smaller number from Mr.
Letovsky's pen which followed later gave
some conception of the opulence of musical
Idea with which the young man 1 endowed.
His "Rhapsodle Slave" Is a brilliant and
effective piano number, scintillating with
color, and decidedly Bohemian in character.
This element of nationalism, by the way, is
noticeable to a greater or lesser degree In
all his compositions, and give them a
peculiarly piquant flavor. Th "Val In
termezzo," a suave and melodious bit of
music In dance form, waa followed by
"L'Allegro" (after Milton's pen), an
etude in which a broad and flowing melody
In the middle register of th instrument Is
accompanied by a brilliant and difficult
harmonic figuration for th right hand.
A sparkling performance of th Straus
"Blue Danube" waltzes In th Schults

to a close, after which th pianist added
