of triumph for Bailey and Roosevelt and
all the supporters ot the president. '
Then cam the chilling fear that this
battle might go on until It would disrupt
the party. Senator Allison, wise and old,
came to the front with a compromise
amendment upon which all the republi
cans might agree. There was a conference
nt the White House and Mr. Roosevelt
consented to the A'.llson Court review
amendment. It ended the fight. Roosevelt
gained a great victory In passing any
kind of a rate bill at all, and there Is
doubt as to whether the feature of the
court review was as Important as It then
seemed. The conservative senators, more
over, were solaced with the thought that
they had compelled the president to sur

Two Men Confess.
Final arrangements for a general ban
quet to members and guests of the South
Omaha Commercial club was planned for
Wednesday evening, Iecf mber ' I, it
luncheon held Thursday at the Greer hotel.
This banquet Is to be given at the GreeT
hotel and many new matters touching the
Improvement of business and good feeling
among the business mVn will be presented
by a corps of able speakers. The guests
will include the elective city officials. Tha
details of the list of guests were per
fected. It was decided not to make any recom
mendations to the city council on the
prospective redlstrlstlng ot the city. One
of the Committees, including J. H. Kopleti
explained to the club what waa being done
in Spring Lake park In th matter of
cutting trees. Mr. Kopletx said no trees
were being cut without the mark of the
superintendent showing that the work was
not done haphasard. The trees, which are
being cut are the cripples and those trees
in clumps, where the larger trees have
overshadowed the weaker ones so that
oiie is simply a detriment to the other.
Wherever a tree is cut it Is calculated that
the remaining trees will be benefited that
much in the oourse of a few years. The
Iron-wood trees are being cut as they are
of stunted growth and not greatly ornamen
tal. Far from being a butchery of the fine
trees of the park, the work Is a part of
the necessary dressing to make a majestic
grove.
Annan! Meeting- of Conntry Clnb.
The annual meeting of the South Omaha

Library hall. Tha session Was most
harmonious and the attendance was good.
Three directors were elected to fill expired
terms, three to fill resignations and three
remain to serve one year. The three-year
men were W. B. Cheek, C. M. Schlndel and
T. J. O'Nell. The two-year men are

and Dr. C. M. 8chlndel refused to become
candidates for re-election unless it was
promised them they should be relieved
from the chairmanship or other strietly
executive offices. This was regietfully
agreed to by the members for both men

years. Mr. Cheek has been chairman i,f
the Board of DJ.jtors during the entire

Club's Condition.
The financial report for the year was read
by Charles Co, secretary of, the board of
directors, and ahowed a degree of cro.n.ri.o
which surprised even the members familiar
with the situation. It was by far the best
report for three years. At the close of the
meeting ail the members predicted a season
of great prosperity with much increased
popularity of the elub. Nothing waa said
about the dues or the initiation feea and it
la likely they will remain unchanged unless
necessity requires. With the membership
increased to the 0 limit everything would
be well. With a membership ot S00 the club
Could find plain sailing The 300 mark Is

The new board of directors will meet at

prevented the musical editor of The Bee
from attending what proved to be a ver
itable feast for ear and mind lapt evening
The writer herewith . acknowltdges ine
delicate compliment paid him by Mr. Kelly
by commissioning him to review above
splendid program.
After what has been said by nearly the
entire Berlin press about "our" Mat
Landow's work ln concert, after about fif
teen of the greatest srltlcs ln . the world
have with remarkable unanimity and splen
did conciseness placed their indelible stamp
of enthuslastlo approval on the high
musicianship and eatraordlnary technical
powers of this artist. It Is made extremely
dlffleult for a critic on an American daily
to augment in effectiveness the Journalis
tic portrayal of one of Ht-rr Landow's
"piano evenings." The magnitude and
extraordinary importance of Landow's re
citals have become suoh household Word
with the musical coterie ln this oommunity
that it ought not to be necessary to go
into descriptive details.
At his numerous recitals before Omaha
audiences the artist has continuously added
merited luster to his already great fame
with every succeeding appearance, We, wiio
have been fortunate enough to attend many
of these recitals, fully realize that ln this
strong Individuality, combined with Well
nlgll herculean technical equlpminf, we
have a representative of the pianlstio art
among us, who is cspable of sheer un
limited resources for the interpretation of
the greatest works ln piano literature. In
view of such thoroughly good work and
imbued with slnoerest admiration for Max
Landow, "the master," criticism can enly
be a tribute to the man who gives ut
"Schumann" as he intended to Impress us;
who "sings" us Chopin, the dreamy poet,
as that Immortal composer himself sang
his melancholy sttralns to posterity and
Who thunders the mighty messages of
Beethoven, Brahms and Llsst to his spell
bound listeners. "Ye students of planlalle
and musical art In Omaha and surround

than 100 mothers and little ohlldren were
served.
Roast ohlcken and other meats, dressed
with gravy, vegetables and fruit of all
kinds, with cake, pie and ice cream for
desert, were served. A Small porker,
roasted, was consumed during the big din

And so it went. Many of the packages

of cash they contained, as well as the
other articles therein. Result: One man
bid tit for g pnekage containing tlO in
cash and he drew a gold watch, two fine
rings and other-valuables, the whole Worth
about 10. On the other hand another man
secured a prize package for $13 which, out

the watch and rings being worth less than
the extra 11 paid.
Every article disposed of at the auction
was In excellent condition, there wre no
misrepresentations . and little grumbling.
Those who were unlucky enough not to
have money stood about and looked on,
eager to bid but unable to do so.

The collection of revolvers alone was
worth going to see. There Were guns of

t There were more than seventy-five re

There was one woman in the crowd,
