American theater. I'or years they have
afforded unalloyed pleasure- tq play

won equally the popularity of tho masses

Elizabeth Otto, "The Girl at the Plsno"
at the Orpheum this week, does not be
llevo that It requires years of study at
home and abroad to make a musician.
Her theory Is that tho musician, like the
poet. Is born and not made. Of course
she realizes that the more Instruction one
has the more competent he Is to per
form, but ho does not believe that the
lack of technical training should keep
a person from appearing In public.
"I have studied music only one year,"
mid tho young woman, "and 1 have met
with remarkable success In my work.
I have been fond of music all my life
and naturally have spent much time at
the piano. Nowadays boys and girls
think they must spend yearn and years
In study before they are able to be real
musicians, but that Is a great mistake.
I do not pretend to be a finished mu
sician, but J know how to entertain, and
that Is tho most Important thlngj. I am
going to continue my musical studies
however, and when I come to Omaha
again I hope to be much better than
I am now. I am also going to have my
voice cultivated."
It isn't to be wondered at that the
gentler sex Is flocking to the popular
Oayety In great numbers this week, as
the word has gone out regarding the
perfectly gorgeous costumes worn by
Ruby Lon, the leading lady of this
week's attraction. One of her gowns Is a
creation of black velvet, en-traln. It Is
ornamented on the skirt by an Immense
sun burst made of brilliants and vari
colored Jewels, and Is the envy of every
lady beholding It. Miss Leonl has

"Blanohe," which Is the title of the
slice from life, Is being presented at the
JCrug this week In a one-act sketch. It
Is touched up with vivid lights that give

sons who live in the underworld. It is

'Republicans Get Movement Under

SUICIDE WHEN LOSES JOB
.Jnmr G. Strlmplr Shoots Illmerlf

llonpltnl Fight for Term
Extension Continues,
The South Omaha republican club at
its meeting last night declared that cvorv
republican wishing to run for office
muot file within the next ten days. The
meeting was crowded to the .doors
and while the club as an organisa
tion refused to endorse or tako notice of
any question of extension, individually
the attendance at the meeting was
against extension from start to finish.
A motion was carried advising all re
publicans to file for ofloe before tho
first of tho month regardless of any
extension bll) or anything else.
The meeting brought out a number of
strong candidates for the spring election.
The names were mentioned of F. M.
Richardson for the school board; p. J,
Martin for treasurer, and Doctor W. J.
Faulk for fire and polloe board. Dr.
Kaulk is a registered progressive and
declared that he would be at all the
meetings of the club hereafter. Butteno
Mnyfietd, one of tho best known men In
South Omaha, popular and experienced,
was one of the chief favorites for the
mayoralty. Mr. Mayfteld spoke for tho
success of the ticket, but refused to say
whether he would be a candidate.
There Is no doubt tlit the republican
ticket backed by the men who were
out last night, will five the gang in
power a run. Clean government is tho
slogan and the personnel of the meeting
Indicated that there Is going to bo a
Strong fight. Another meeting will Ui
held at the republican headquarters next
Wednesday.
Work for Terra Kxtenslon.
Tom Hoclor and hts charter committee,
including John B. Watklns and John M
Tanner, together with City Treasurer
Qillln, went down to Lincoln yesterday
in Ove Interest of the term extension bill
proposed and advocated by tho office
holders' union of South Omaha. Hoctor
and Qillln returned last night and It Is
understood an effort will bo made to
gather a committee of the faithful to go
dawn to Lincoln to tell the legislators
why tho good office holders ought to
stay In office without any election this
May. John 8. Walters, councilman from
the First ward and superintendent of the
Union stock yards, was around last even
ing seeking the assistance of merchants
and citizens to go down to Uncjoln with
a few of the "boys" who are against tha
Leo bill. He received little or no en
couragement. Tonight the bills relating to the merger
of cities contiguous to Omaha with the
metropolitan cities will ho heard In the
supreme court room before the house
committee on Judiciary. It Is understood
thjit certain of the administration have
boasted Jhat the1 chairman of the com
mittee is a friend of whom they expect
good things.
The men who are fighting for an exten
sion term are all office holders who with
a few exceptions do not want an elec
tion In May.
Men Who Fight Annexation,
The men who are righting annexation
and who aro trying to have themselves
continued in office by the act of the
legislature against the provisions of fhe
law now on tho statute books aro headed
by Tom Hoctor who, off and on, has held
office for mors t,han a quarter qf a
century; John J. Glllln, who has held of
fice for nearly half that period; John
M. Tanner, who has run the official
paper of tho city for years and whoso
bill for city printing In 1911 amounted to
more than $5,000.
Tanner was defeated twice within the
last year and a half. Hoctor, who was
elected last time on a promise of reform,
has proven a disappointment even to his
friends, and the church people of all
denominations are up in arms against
tho open town run by the present admin
1st ration.
While rtyan and Plvonka were In of
fice they had to share all the blame for
the lawlessness of certain elements and
the demoralization of the police. Now
Hoctor would like to put the blame on
Briggs, but the church people havo lined
up against Hoctor,
GI Mil's office Is notoriously the head
quarters of political politics In Soutli
Omaha. Ed P. Roggen, formerly a re.
publican, now a democrat and deputy to
Qillln, Is aocredlted with being the grand
mixer for the Glllln gang. Qillln Is sup
posed to look after the west end dis
trict while Roggen moves in the north
end of the city. These are men who are
fighting annexation and who are trying
to continue themselves in office over tho
win f the people. If the term is ex
tended and annexation does not come,
taxes will be increased In South Omaha
this year.
James O. Strimple, 2S years old, killed
himself yesterday afternoon at 2H N
street by shooting himself through the
head. He died In the South Omaha hos
pital a few minutes after the deed. Des
pondency Is assigned as the cause of the
deed.
Strimple was a cripple and until a few
days ago was employed at Swift's Pack
ing house. Ha Is said to have had trouble
with one of the bosses. It la not known
whether he was fired, but the loss of his
Job evidently preyed on his mind and
yesterday afternoon about 3 o'clock he
went to his room at 2f04 N street where he
killed himself.
The deed was planned by the dead man,
as appeared from a note addressed to
Mrs. Edwards, proprietress of the room
ing house In which he lived. He left a
note In which ho asked to be remembered
to a young woman employed at Swift's
packing house and asked that a brother
and sister In Omaha be notified, Strimple
has lelatives in Kentucky. He wan le
moved to the South Omaha hospital where
he died Just as doctor A. H, Koenlg was
about to operate on htm In the hops of
saving his life. Coroner Bernard Larkln
took charge of the body,
nickell Confesses Crime.
G torge Blckell, an Ice man 60 years
old, confessed last night to Chief of Po
lice Briggs and Captain Elsfelder that
ho had criminally assaulted 13-year-old
Mary Lisk last month. He was arrested
at the Dsk home, 2411 N street, by Of
ficers Petach and McQuIro upon the com
plaint of the girl's mother Mrs. M. Llsk.
Ulcket! boarded at the Llsk home and
his actions aroused the suspicions of the
mother, who, after questioning the young
girl, obtained a confession. The girl said'
that Blckell threatened to kill her if she
told anyone of hl crime.

WOMAN THE TOILER IN JAPAN
Mnle Workers Ont numbered Two to
One In the Flowery
KIllKrinra.
Japanese life, says James Davenport
Whelpley, Is much less flowery than
Is seems. Discussing "Japan's Com
mercial Crisis" In the February "Cen
tury," he set forth strikingly the truth
about Japan's Inner life, and declares
that It contains quite as many problems
as that of any country. One of tho most
serious Is the relation of capital and
labor, and herein woman takes nn Im
portant part. In no other country In tho
world, says Mr. Whelpley, does n larger
percentage of women participate In wage
earning, In the United States for every
eighty-six male wage-earners there are
fourteen female. In Great Britain it is
seventy-five to twenty-five, in Germany
eighty to twenty, In Italy soventy-elght
to twenty-two, while In Japan there are
nearly twice as many wpmen as men
on the pay-rolls of the country. It ie the
testimony of all large employers that the
women are the Industrial backbono of
the country. The employment of wo
men and children Is tho secret of the
competitive power of the Japanese tex
tile and other light handicraft Industries,
and It Is for this reason that the possible
operation of a law enforcing sanitary
provisions and even the common decen
cies of humanity In factory life is
viewed with alarm by the manufacturers
in their necessarily strenuous competi
tion for foreign trade.
The new law limits hours of employ
ment, forbids tha use of children under
certain ages, and the employment of wo
men at night and In dangerous occupa
tions. It can be understood, therefore,
whence comes, tho delay tn even pro
mulgating a law which takes effect fif
teen years after its promulgation. The
moneyed classes and the "Interests"
necessarl.ly control a legislative body like
the Japanese Diet, many members of
which are elected by a most amazing
and open system of corruption and vote
buying, a system which puts to shame in
Its effrontery the worst days of ward
politics In any gang-ridden city In the
United States.

makeup of the water board or Its em
ployes or their occupation that make
them any better than the rest of man
kind, and Just why this kind of
measure, so drastically drawn, shnulJ
be placed In tho Mil to Intimidate or
terrorize the common citizen is quite
Incomprehensible.
This bill also provides that the city of
Omaha, as well as other municipalities
In the district, shall pay too ppr year for
fire hydrant rentals, which thoy term
regular fire hydrant rentals, and 110 cuch
for additional Intermedial ftre hydrants.
It has a saving clause, however, that It
shall not exceed 3-mlll assessment.
The bill also provides that thn board
may have bonds voted In an unlimited
amount. Tnklng this thought Into con
sideration, that thero Is no limit to which
the district may bo extended, and also no
limit upon the amount of bonds that may
be voted, It Is a dangerous proposition In
the hands of somo people. Wc know not
who will control the board In the future,
nor do we know what territory may be
taken in. In other words, It Is too reck
less. The provisions for elections mako a
very close corporation; barring tho first
election of members of tho board, this
autocratic board of the water district
calls all elections when it pleases, for
whatever purpose It pleases, by simple
proclamation of the president of the
board ten days before the election.
The president of tho board, by consent
of a majority of the board, appoints alt
Judges and clerks of elcottons, is the
Judge of voters as to whether op not
they nro properly registered,, canvass
their own returns with tie nd of two
citizens selected by them, proclaim the
result of the election without tho Inter
ference or say of anybody. There Is no
provision In the bill for a recall of mem
bers of the board; they shall report to
nobody, shall account to nobody; In
case they fall to call an election, the
members hold over until their successors
aro elested nnd qualified. Theso elec
Our Platform
Since 1857, we have stood squarely on
the platform of purity.
Every bottle of whiskey that leaves our
distillery is a fulfillment of the pledge
of purity.
Every bottle is a fulfillment of our ambition
to make

perfect in quality and flavor.
Every bottle is a fulfillment of Uncle Sam's idea
of a perfectly made, perfectly aged and honestly
measured whiskey.
Take a bottle home.

tions are not to be, had at regular elec
tions, unless directed by the Umnl to
have them so, which special elections
would end mi a vary great cxpciif. per

tion. Just why there should be such great
secrecy. Just why this should be a se
lected body with unlimited powers, un
hampered, unre stricted. removed even
from allowing tho public to know what
they are doing, Is very difficult to under
stand. Perhaps the most Important plefie of
legislation for the uplift and preserva
tion of society and civilization Is our
school system, yet there nrc no suoh
safeguards thrown about thnt. School
elections are nt general elections. They
are subject to general statutes control
ling elections. In other words, we look
upon them as no better than tho aver
age man. and why the Water board
should bo surrounded by such great safe
guards, that It occupy a place like the
holy of holies, or a sanctum which would
be obnoxluus for the private rltlxcns to
walk upon Is Incomprehensible.
It Is a bill that the legislature and th
people, not understanding nnd not com
prehending, arc negligently and orleHly
petmlttlng to move on. 1 thing 1 am
safe In saying there Is no one behind this
bill except those that are personally In
terested, or those thnt are mndo to In
terest themselves.
Rend this Mil for yourself. Analyze
It, construe It. nnd If when you have
done so you are still of the opinion that
you want this overshadowing power owr

The claims filed with tho United States
commissioner In New York against the
Oceanic rfteam Navigation company for
personal effects thnt wcro lost In tho
Titanic disaster furnish food for thought.
It was part of the' pltlleM trpny of that
tragic event thnt property worth hun
dreds of thousands of dollars was an thn
kingdom that Richard would have given
for a horse it wns not worth so much
in that exigent hour ns a few planks
nailed together to make a lifeboat. In
particular, a list that comprises tho con
tents of fourteen trunks and eight other
receptacles will be to the averagn reader
a revelation of the wardrobe which somn
women of wealth and fashion appear to
.believe essentlnl for their comfort and
mental complacency. The nnuulng total
valuation of these personal belongings Is
S1T7.B&2.T6. Included In the list wo find n
pink diamond at 120,000, a ring at $U,000,
a pendant at 113.000 nnd still other dia
monds at $0,000 and $8,000. A chinchilla
coat is put down for Ki.000; there Is a sil
ver fox stole at $3,350, and another at
$1,4"0. with an ermine coat at the same
figure. A white baby lamb coat is $1,000.
A white brocade dress, however. Is only
$(00, and one of silk costs thn same
amount. There aro modest affairs of
chiffon and whlto net which cost but
$100 or a trifle over; a spangled net dress
ls,$4S0, A chiffon waist at $445 brings up
the average, but a black brocade suit Is
to be had for the modest figure of $354.
When It comes to the accessories, one.
needs first of all a suitcase to transport
some of them, and this single Item Ih re
sponsible for $&00, The sum of $23) is
not much to set aside for a fan; but
$1,000 seems a fairly steep prlcg for a

from aovpiity-flvo lo 100 times a year, but
1 cannot say that 1 know of 100 cases In
which euros wcro effected. In the flwt
place, one nver can know thnt tho cno
Is cured. If thero In no sign of return
of tho affection within five years after
the operation one might feel reasonably
suro thero would bo no return, but oven
then one could nut Bay hn hud poaltlvo
knowledgo that a cure had been effected
One might also have knowledgo of 100
cases In which wrns, warts or other in
nocent growths were romoved; I mean
ho might havo this knowledge If lie had
made a special study along this line ur
If ho wcro In the business of removing
such growths. Outside of tho medical
profession I haidly think a man wou'.d
havo personal knowledge of hundreds .if
cases of typhoid fever, pneumonia or
other disease much more common tha 1
cancer."
Dr. C. C- Allison made thin statement;
"I think a surgeon or physician f ex
tensive practice might by thp time ho
ronphed mlddlo ngo'now of 100 cancor
cases which seemed to bo cured, for
him to know of hundreds of cures is so
unreasonable ns to be ridiculous. Ilireo
years after nn operation for cancor H
commonly Is suld to be cured if by that
tlmo there Is no return of the trouble,
but subsequently many cases provo not
to have been cured. After five or six
years one may feel thore certain about
It, but then I would not undertake t)
say there had been a cure,"
