The tin cans came from the board of governors of Ak-Sar-Ben, who swooped down upon the depot in a mass formation to see their brother governor off. It happens that this is the tenth anniversary of the marriage of Mr. and Mrs. Dietz. "Dad" Weaver, the Samson of Ak-Sar-Ben, called all the governors to gether to give the Dietzes a send-off. Frank W. Judson got busy gathering up the necessasry tin to make the proper kind of a noise in the presenta tion. Also Judson managed the ac quiring of suitable flowers for Mrs. Dietz. At the last minute a hurrying search of the city was made to find the Little German Band, but it was discovered they had gone to the trenches or somewhere else for the winter. Highwaymen Race Through City in a Big Yellow Auto A big, yellow automobile, manned by a corps of three "stick-up" men, is believed by the police to be re sponsible for the large range of re cent activities of daring highwaymen. In many ot the cases reported the de scription of the men seems to tally. This and the fact that a large yellow automobile was said by some of the victims to be waiting on the corner for the footpads convince the police that one gang is doing this crooked work. J. Laurie Wallace, artist, 41132 Uarrl street, who was robbed by armed and masked men of $11 and jewelry at Fortieth and Izard, says that he saw a big yellow car which lie was almost certain belonged to the men that held him up. Music Lovers Secure Tickets at Reduced Rater Opera lovers were on hand early al the Orchard & Wilhelm company store to secure tickets at hargain prices for the four-performance en gagement of the San Carlo (irand Opera company. They were sold at 75 cents instead of the original price of $1. Holders of these tickets can get reserved seats at from 10 to 75 cents per performance. Prices for the same seals to those not having these tick ets are 75 cents to $2. The original cost of the tickets of fered by the Orchard & Wilhelm com pany was $1 and they cannot be se cured elsewhere now even at this price. Several hundred of Ihe tickets are still left and these will be kept on sale as long as they last. "Aida." "Faust," "Tales of Hoffman," "Caval leria," and "Pagliacci" will be heard al very little prices by holders of these tickets.

SCHOOL TAX LEVY SHOWS INCREASE From Thirteen Mills in 1906 to Thirty-Five Mills Proposed by Board for Next Year. INCREASE COST PER PUPIL From U mills levy in 190o to .'5 mills for l')8, cpitomires the tax in crease for maintenance of the oublic school system in this school district. The increase was gradual until 1915, when it wai 20 mills. Then the South Omaha merger produced an increase to -S nulls for 1916, and a similar levy made tor 1917. The hoard proposes now to certify next July to a .15-mill levy for 191H. This year already laces a (icticil, due chiefly to tl.c slump in liquor license revenue. Less License Money. Looking back over the records, in 191o, general fund resources were $o5.!.9lo: for '1917 the estimate is $l.o.W,H9. which included MM.OOO liipior license money anticipated, of which only one-lhinl is to be col lected. In the accompanying com parative tables the figures for 1915 in the uppei table refer to Omaha be fore the merger, while for the same year in the lower column the figures include the consolidated territory. The school reports show that from 190h to 1914. the last complete year of Omaha before the merger, the total enrollment had increased 17.8 per cent; average daily attendance, lH'.j per cent; teaching stall, 4(1 per cent; teachers' pav roll, 78 per cent.

Joyce of Cleve land, general manager ot tn aner-win-Williams r'aint company, when in Omaha for two hours on a tour of inspection of all the company's plants throughout the coast country and the west. With Mr. Joyce was Walter H. Cottingham, president of the com pany. Thcf called on Sales Manager Frank Welch of their local plant, visited the plant for two hours, ana then took a night train for Kansas City- .... Both were very optimistic in regard to business prospects for the coming year. Both declared the outlook was never better, and they found pros pects here excellent, as well as those on the west coast. John McCormack's Artistic Associates in Concert Those who go to the Auditorium Tuesday evening, January 23, for the McCormack concert will not only have the pleasure of hearing the world's most celebrated Irish tenor, but two excellent artists as well. F.dwin Schneider, accompanist, and Donald McBeath, violinist, will be Mr. McCormack's assistants. This will mark Ihe fourth season fnr both these excellent artists and the comment of William Hutchesou in the Houston Host that "both are certainly worthy of the company they are keeping" is one with which fhousands of the great tenor's admirers throughout the coun try will heartily agree. The scat sale at the Auditorium for the McCormack concert has ex ceeded all precedents and bids fair for a complete sell-out before the week is done.
