'ORIv ON ANNUAL BUDGET
Levenues for Coming Year Will
Probably Be Less Than Thi Year.
V7HZRE TO CUT IS PROBLEM
Number of Kerns Cannot He Hedoced
nil several Kami Are Over
drawn -I. aat of I. not Year's
Appropriation.
City officials ore now figuring on the
appropriations for the mnlntenanre of the
Vfrl municipal department during the
new fiss year, which commences April
1. The .apportioning of the anticipated
revenue of the rlty for the ensuing year
's a tsk thnt devolves on the present
rlty rounc'.l and not or the new rouncll
trif n, who will Ve elected on March 28. In
dentions are that the appropriation for
the new year will have to he cut. a the
anticipated revenue during the next fiscal
will probably he considerably less than
during the year Just coming to a close.
A larfie portion of the clty'a revenue Is
derived from uncertain and unstable
sources, such as saloon licenses, police
court fines, forfeitures, etc. This portion
of tho revenue will. It Is confidently ex
pected, he conslderahly smaller than dur
Ing tho fiscal year now closing.
A year apo the anticipated revenue was
figured at $S7.00, and the appropriations
for tho several departments were made on
. this basis. At first It waa figured at
sr,.nO0, but City Solicitor Kimball gave It
oa his opinion that $2,000. which had been
paid out In connection with the proposed
municipal water works plant, could be
transferred from the water works sinking
'j ill to the general fund, so the council
iic Ided to base th ' appropriations on an
estimated revenue of $7.0n0.
Hevrnue Waa Overestimated.
Unless there would 1ms a material Increase
In tiio at.se.ved valuation of the city, which
Is hardly expected, the revenue for the
next twelve months cannot. It Is said, be
estimated much over $M).000. The shortage
will occur In the amount derived from sa
loon licenses nnd from what la known as
the "police fund."
The appropriations for the year now
closing were as follows:
Salaries of executive department $11,020
Police and marshal's department 2 1. IV)
Klre department 28.W0
Fire, and police telegraph 2.OH0
Engineer's department 5.000
Streets and alleys 10,000
Printing and supplies 1,200
ity hall 1.500
Klectlons 2,3T

Health department 1.800

The salaries of the executive department
follow:

Deputy clerk 1.000
Right council men 2.000
Judge superior -court 1,000

Total $11,020
hortaaret In Several Funds.
Where to make a cut la what Is puzzling
the city officials. No appropriation will be
needed this oomlng year for elections unless
the advocates of the commission form of
government got busy ajid secure the neces
sary number of signers to a petition for a
special election at which) lb, proposition
may be submitted to the voters. The appro
prlatlon for the fire department cannot be
reduced unless the number of man Is de
creased, as the city must provide for the
paymonts on the new central fire station.
which was built on the "Installment plan."
The last monthly report of City Auditor
McAneney shows that the amounts appro
prlated for some of the departments were
Insufficient and have been overdrawn. For
several months the streets and alleys fund
has been depleted and It Is conceded that
$10,000 Is . Insufficient for this department.
It Is likely . that the matter will come up
at the meeting of . the ' city council this
evening, at which time City Treasurer True
Is expected; to make a report.

Hncer. a Dase bov Henry Traver
Mr.nson, a butler Howard Kyle
Charles Rann Kennedy's allegory, which
has been much debated since It waa offered
first In America last season, I now being
expounded at the Brandets by a capable
company. The drama has changed none
since It was first seen here, although Miss
Lizzie Hudson Collier Is the only member
of the cast that survives the progress of
tlmo In connection with 'The Henry Miller
Associate Players." The argument of the
drama Is the familiar postulate that the
world mould be a nice place to live In If
men and women would but realise their
obligations to one another. It Is as old as
humanity, and up to date has proven as
futile as humanity has been perverse. The
mere fact that In the present Instance Mr.
Kennedy alms his shafts especially at the
church Itself, or, rather Its condition of
defective "drainage." does not alter the
course of the, play's Indictment of man
kind. Maybe this Is the whip that Is to
stimulate us Into such frenxy of contrition
as will bring about the desired reformation;
It has been a year since It was first pre
sented here, and so far no sign of any
social cataclysm Is noted. One doesn't like
to be listed as a pessimist; but surface In
dication favor the conclusion that Mr.
Kennedy's preaching is no more potent
than has been that of all the long line
who have preceded him. It Is not espe
cially to the credit of man that this Is so;
It Is as easy to live rightly as to live
wrongly, and only requires the subjuga
tion of self to achieve the happy state
all at least pretend to wish for.
"The Servant In the House" shows how
the better condition may be brought about,
and does It In a way that Is Interesting.
It Is not merely dry preaching one listens
to, but a morning's life of an Interesting
group of people, who are simply human.
It Is a remarkable production from this
standpoint alone, and deserves the careful
attention It has been given. The company
having It In hand is giving It very ef
fective Interpretation. Mr. Kyle has a
much more satisfying comprehension of
the role of Manson than Mr. Creston Clarke
showed. Mr. Clarke seemed to be under
the obsession that It was necessary to sug
gest the Savior In every word and ges
ture; and persisted in a frequent offense
against good taste and dramatic strength
by so doing. Mr. Kyle gives his audience
credit with having some discerning ability,
and tactfully leaves to the people in front
the matter of associating the character
with the Son of Man. Mr. Granger is not
so Impressive as the Dralnman as waa Mr.
Clement, yet he gives the role a quality
of sincerity that compensates in some
measure for any power it may lose. Miss
Collier Is still giving the wife of the vicar
excellent care, and Mr. Irving Is decidedly
convincing in the role of the minister
who wrestles mightily with his own doubts
and Anally resolves them In favor of the
right. The work of Mr. Westley, Mr.
Travers and Miss Speare Is good.

When Knighthood Was In Flower" Is
giving the Woodward stock company a fine
chance at the Boyd this week, and It Is
more than being realised by the members.
Mr. Morrison makes a fine bit ot a man
In the role of Charles Brandon, giving It
all the qualities of modest courage that
would attract the notice of a princess of
the royal blood to a captain In the king's
guard. Mr. Ingraham has In King Henry
VIII one of those character studies In
which he takes such pleasure, and Is prov
ing himself again a most capable actor.
Mr. Dudley's Csskoden Is good, and the
Buckingham of Mr. Duggan la well worked
out. Miss Gates shows remarkable capacity
as Mary Tudor; In fact, her performance
last night showed the best conception of
the part yet seen, at the Boyd, and that
Is saying much, for the play has often
been enaoted at the theater. If all of Miss
Gates' work Is on the same plane she will
be a decided success In Omaha. Mlas
Valentine's Jane and Miss Hudson's Anne
are also good. The play Is splendidly
staged.

New York State
Republicans Are
Still in Clouds
Day of Conferences Results r.in Post
ponement of Hostilities by
the Pactions.
NEW YORK, March 14. After a day of
conference and compromise the situation In
the republican party of New York state Is
still In the clouds. Hostilities have been
postponed. Both the partisans of Senator
Root, Governor Hughes and Senator Hln
man on the one hand and of Timothy L.
Woodruff, chairman of the state committee
on the other, preserve a trucculent and
glum mien.
There Is no desire to duplicate, In the
republican party, the situation over the
state chairmanship that lately afflicted
the democratic party. It Is not wished. In
endeavoring to eliminate Mr. Woodruff, to
make him a Conner, and Mr. Root in at
tempting It does not wish to be a Murphy.
Yet on the fate of Mr. Woodruff, a large
measure of the fate of the republican party
In the elections next fall is felt to hang.
Senator Root, Lloyd C. Orlscom, president
of the county committee, and the new
school of republican leaders at large be
lieve that Mr. Woodruff and his allies are
directly responsible for the election of
Allds as president protem of the state
senate In the first Instance, and, when
that proved a mistake, of Senator Cobb to
succeed him, which they feel to be not only
a personal affront to Senator Root, but a
second mistake of only less weight. There
fore there Is a strong disposition to de
mand that Mr. Woodruff retire, and It Is
understood that It Is with the express In
tention of demanding his resignation that
Senator Root came to New York last night.
Senator Root would not say directly to
day that such was his purpose, but he
virtually admitted It.
In this purpose, he held conferences this
afternoon with Mr. Grlscom and James W.
Wadsworth, speakers of the assembly and
tonight with Mr. Woodruff himself.
Neither he nor Mr. Grlscom would discuss
the outcome of these conferences, but Mr.
Woodruff waa more communicative. He
consented to Interview himself for tho
newspapers. "You may say this," he said:
"When Mr. Woodruff was asked If Senator
Root had demanded his resignation, he
answered, 'ask Root.'
"When Mr. Woodruff was asked If he
was any question of retiring him, he an
swered with even more emphasis, 'ask
Root.
"When Mr. Woodruff was asked if he
Intended to resign of his own accord he
answered with an emphasis almost border
ing on belligerency: "Ak Root.' "
In' iplte of the wide diversion of opinion
as to what Is proper to do In the present
crlsl within the republican party of the
state, and what Is the proper way to do it,
both sides are still sincerely anxious to
avoid an open breach at the primaries.
The adherents of Woodruff sum It up In
one word hysteria.
