AT THE THEATERS THE latest edition of the "Mutt and Jeff" comedies is being of fered at the Boyd to the in tense satisfaction of those who ad mire the comicpair and their antics. This time it is the wild and woolly west they are supposed to infect, and a gold mine and .a widow are mixed up in what passes for the plot. If you care to ' waste your time keeping track of the story, that is your business; The Bee once had a customer who followed 'Desper-, ate Desmond" through every chap-i ter and asked for more at the end. However, you will probably give your attention principally to Miss Lizette Fuller, the real widow whose singing and dancing is the life of the party. The- cartoon heroes are reproduced in fidelity to their conception, and afford a lot of fun by their capers. The company will remain until after Sunday night, with matinees on Saturday and Sun day afteYnoons. A.t the Orpheum this week ' the bill is one of exceptional merit and plays so pleasingly to popular fancy that the matinee attendance is large and at njghts the audiences measure up to capacity. The distinguished actress, Florence Roberts, in the one-act play, "The Woman Inter venes, is proving one 01 tne most thoroughly appreciated and enjoyed features the Urpheum nas. orrerea in many weeks. Another stellar at traction is Sheila Terry, one of the cutest and prettiest of vaudeville's charming misses, in the singing and dancing -sketch elaborately pro duced, "Three's a Crowd." . The Primrose tour, a rollicking singing quartet, is the big applause hit of the weejc and succeeds in stopping the show every performance. After two oerformances today, the stage at the Gayety will be relieved of the terrific -strain of Billy Wat son's "Beef Trust." With tomor row's matinee, the closing attraction of the season the "Best Show in Town" will begin its weekly run. This is one of Jamgs E. Cooper's productions and therefore one of the class A offerings. Frank Hunter and Bert Lohr are the principal come dians, the feminine principals being Virginia Ware. Lynn Cantor and Wattie De Lece. The beauty chorus has been carefully selected and the production i said to be very elabor ate. Ladies' matinee daily. Chester Pollard's latest musical comedy success "On Manila Bay" is headlining the show at the Empress the last half of the week. David S.

One hundred and fifteen miles of road in Douglas county were chosen to be paved at i cost of $3,000,000 after a stormy meeting in the office of the board of county commis sioners yesterday afternoon. County Attorney Shotwell has been ordered td draw up the proc- laitiaiivii. y ine commssioners went into con sultation immediately with County Attorney Shotwejl to '-.determine just the steps to be taken for call ing the special election. Twenty freeholders must sign the petition and then the election must be advertised for 30 days. Every thing will be rushed so that if the bonds carry by the necessary three fifths vote work on the paving can be begun early this summer. The roads to be paved are: Lincoln highway from Fairacres to county line. Military highway from Benson to county line. Washington highway from Flor ence to county line. Q street from South Side to six miles west of Millard. Center street from the cityo a point directly north of Millard. "Benson road from Benson to a point directly north of Millard. ( Road 76, from Elkhorn south to county line. Road 52, from Millard north to Military highway. Road 60, connecting Bennington with. Military highway. Road 48, from Irvington to the northwest. Road 9, from Florence northwest. The bone of contention was Cen ter street, which, accordii.g to the plan presented was to be paved from Road 76 to the Platte river, a distance of seven and one-half miles. There is no bridge at present across the river at that point. After a stormy wrangle, and after Commissioner Unitt had made a speech telling the crowd that -the commissioner and Chambtr of Com merce had agreed -not to pave this road until the bridge had been placed, a motion was made that the commissioners pass a resolution stating that they will not pave the six miles until the Platte river bridge has beeii definitely located at that point. This, motion carried unanimously and brought a happy end to a meet ing which threatened to result in a deadlock. W. B. Cheek, president of the Omaha Automobile club, presented the paving plan to the audience. He stated that, after long work, these roads have been chosen to be paved by the county commissioners, Chamber of Commerce Real Estate board, Rotary club ai)d other bodies. James Waish made a motion that the plan be adopted. It was put to a vote and was pronounced carried by Chairman Neble. Charles W. Martin demanded the floor and ob jected to the six mile stretch of road. "How do we know that bridge will be built?"he demanded. George Tunison made a speech h support of Mr. Martin's idea. "Can't you take our word for it that we won't pave that road till the bridge is built?" shouted Com missioner Unitt. "Want it in writing," said Mr. Martin. , "You don't know what you're talking about and we do know what we're talking about," said Mr. Cheek to Mr. Martin. "We know that bridge will be built. All you can see in this is your own petty interests. We're trying to locate these roads so as to help Omaha and to help all the farmers in Douglas county. Every bit of op position to this plan that I have met has come from men looking after their private interests." A further wrangle ensued. James Walsh made a motion to adjourn which was lost. "I'm through, I give it up as a bad job," said Mr. Cheek, throw ing up his hands. Then the motion was made for the resolution regarding the six mile stretch of road on Center street. , It carried and the election is now assured.
