half a mllo south of the city limits. Beside

feet away waa the horse waiting patiently

How he met his death Is a matter of sur

turn. Jerked the wheel off the buggy and
threw Wolfe against a tree alongside which
his dead body was discovered.
His invalid wife lay In agony all nlarht

Pavlowa and Mordkin
at Special Matinee
Omaha, St Louis and Chicago Only
Towns Which Get Two Per
formances by Russians.
Pavlowa and Mordkin will appear at two
performances In Omaha Instead of one. A
special matinee Thursday has been' an
nounced. This means that Omaha gets two
performances, where Philadelphia, Wash
ington and Baltimore get but one. Chicago
and St. Louis outside of New York Itself
are the only cities in the United plates this
side of thti Pacific coast which get two
performances
The matinee was arranged by telegraph
with Bait Lake City Tuesday morning,
Shirley Olymplus, representative of the
Russians, acting at this end.
"Bo many people were being turned away
at the box office all morning," said" Mr.
Olympins. "that 1 thought It a shame that
they should be disappointed. Omaha may
count Itself fortunate. Only Chicago and
St. louls get two performances except
New Tork and the Pacific coast metro
poles, Los Anfreles and Ran Francisco. In
Washington we play once, a matinee, and
that same evening in Batllmore, a thing
absolutely unique In theatrical circles.
"Thera Is a rumor here that Mordkin Is
ill or Injured. It is without foundation.
No member of the troupe, all but one of
whom are Russians, is 111 or in any way
unable to appear."
"This one man, not a Russian, Is named
West. He Is an English youth, whose
father was a director of the Imperial Bal
let school and thus waa able to slip his
son in. -
"Playing two performances here really
advertises Omaha's value on tha theatrloal
map aa almost nothing else could do. Some
cities larger than Omaha will be furious
or the local managers will."

Visitor in Omaha
is Afflicted With a
Most Rare Disease
Secondary Growth of Bones Has Set
In, Increasing His Stature aiid
Blinding Him.
A sufferer from one of the rarest dis
eases In the world, so rsre that It has
hardly a specific name. Is In Omaha on
his way to Baltimore, there to be operated
on by one of the most famous surgeons
in the country or In Europe, with fifty
surgeons of only lesser note witnessing the
operation, which will be reported all over
the civilised world.
The sufferer is Martin Van Wig, Jr., of
Orange, Cal.. and his ailment Is what Is
called "secondary growth." This is a
hyper-development of the bones of the
skeleton and In this case has manifested
Itself chiefly as reepects the bones of the
hands and feet and of the skull. The
growth of the skull has almost blinded Mr.
Van Wig, who Is a man of 3 years, and
the operation to be performed is to remove
a bone above the optic nerve, and thus by
relieving tha pressure It Is hoped to restore
full sight
Mr. Van Wig Is here with his father,
Martin Van Wig, sr., wbo is a wealthy
orange farmer of California. They are
breaking their Journey across the conti
nent by stopping a day with Mr. Van Wig
Senior's sister, whom he had not seen for
thirty-five years. The two had an affect.
Ing meeting Monday evening at Union
station.
Until about five years ago Martin Van
Wig, Jr., was perfectly healthy and no
hint had coma of the terrible affliction
which haa since posaeased him and which
baa added many inches to his stature so
that be Is now a full six feet four Inches
tall.
Distressing as has been the growth over
the body Of the bones and particularly the
bones of the Joints In the hands and feet,
this Is nothing compared to the growth of
the skull Itself, which has resulted In al
most complete blindness.
Inasmuch as the growth of tha bones
has been simply a Chsb of hyper-development
and In a way proportional, Mr. Van
Wig lias not become a dreadful object,
either for himself or his (rlends to contem
plate and there is no such shocking de
formity as In elephantiasis.
Dr. Curtlss of Johns Hopkins university
will perform the operation and It will be
read of and followed by every surgeon In
the country, and medical Journals will
teem with accounts of It.

Saturday night, when they attempted to

man, after picking the pocket of a pas

car, were given sentences of ninety, eighty
and seventy days In Jail, respectively, by
Police (ludge Crawford Tuesday morning.
Tha men are said to belong to a band of
pickpockets who are making a tour of the
country. Judge Crawford explained his
giving them terms of various duration by
saying that ho wanted the police depart
ment to see to It that they did not get
together again, at least In Omaha.
Patrolman Wilson was the only witness
against them. The man whose pocket was
picked by them did not report his loss or
make known his Identity to the police and
the man who saw the pickpockets Jostle the
victim has not been found since he reported
the matter to the patrolman.

the Winter. I
The advent of the snow In Omaha was
not lucky for the por and needy and the
hundreds of men who are out of work. At
the offlr-e of the street commissioner under
the Sixteenth street viaduct Monday morn
ing 150 men applied for a chance to help
clean the snow from the streets and they
could not be employed because the city haa
no funds for the work.
With the funds that remain In the city
treasury' for rleanlns; streets only a few
blocks could be really cleaned and the
street commissioner says that even the
cleaning up of the downtown crossings can
be only partly accomplished.
But the lack of street cleaning funds Is
not the difficulty for the men who are de
pending on their dally manual employment
for their bread. All of the building trades
have been seriously Interfered with
by the enow. The work on the Wg bulld-Ina-s
about the city has been halted and
only those that have already been walled
In can make any more progress until the
weather breaka This throwa unskilled
laborers upon very slender resources for
support.
The Associated Charities office which
serves as an excellent Indicator for the con
dition of the poor has had numerous calls
during the last two days. One case was
called to the attention of the Pouth Omaha
branch Monday afternoon that was fif
teen blocks from the car Una and on such
a poorly kept street the worker had to
walk.
One case was of peculiar Interest. The
mother of six children left a widow dur
ing the last few weeks fell 111 and was ab
solutely without funds to feed her family.
She was taken to the hospital and the
children cared for.
The Thanksgiving offerings of the school
children made bo generously this year have
been a great help In this heavy rush and
have enabled the charity workers to dis
tribute food where there was urgent need
of It. The Alamlto dairy has offered to
give $25 worth of milk to be distributed
free and tome help is expected from other
sources.
As usual at tha first of December there
are also cases of rent ejections that are
msd.t doubly pitiful by the cold and snow.
Every case of this sort that has been called
to thi attention of the charities has been
taken care of, but the resources for doing
this work are decidedly limited and If the
present drain upon them continues they
may be exhausted.
