ORGANIZED LABOR
Extent to Which Local Workingmen Have
Been Getting Together.
RAPID WORK IN THE LAST FEW YEARS
city Now One of the Best Organized in the
Country-Warning Against "Cigars OF
D~eathr-News from the In
dustrial World.

II is claimed by the local labor leaders
that Omaha is one of the best organized
cities in the country. The formation of the
Central Labor union in 1857 has been the
means of preventing many weak organ
izations from giving up their charters, and
the organization committee of that body has
succeeded in establishing several strong
unions. Omaha was among the first cities
to establish Il central organization. Ten or
fifteen years ago sucha thing was thought
to bcalmost impossible. Now in every city
of Importance will be found central bodies
with representatives from the various trades.
Organization In Late Years.
Some idea can be gained of the growth of
organized labor in Omaha by referring to
the unions and assemblies that have been
brought into existence during the past two
years. The elevator conductors were
organized about one year ago. Since their
organizatl ton they have succeeded in getting
an ordinance passed prohibiting boys
from running passeng er elevators. knights
of Labor assembly No. 4,542 was
reorganized about eighteen months ago,
and is now one of the most powerful assem-
bles in the city. The ice workers formed an
assembly less than two wears ago, and
through the district assembly ldu iu hpIcc'
ment signed by their employers allowing
them Sunday to rest. Before they organ
lied they had to work seyen days each week
instead of working six as they do now.
Their membership includes every ice worker
in the city. The electrical workers were or.
gained nearly two years ago, and one OF
their members was, upon recommendation OF
his union and the Central Labor union, APP
pointed city electrician. For some reason he
has never attended the meetings of elthcl
union since the appointment, which fact has
| caused considerable comment in labor cir
clcs. The organization of the city employs
was effected about six months ago also the
white BARRIERS. Three new carpenters
unions ana the Uartenders union were seti
motion since last January. All have n large
membership. The large union of retail
clerks was organized last June.
The upholsterers and mattress makers
ha We recognized and are in much better
shape than they were two years ago. The
retail clerks knights of Labor assembly was
organized last July. The building trades
council was made effective about September
last. One of the strongest unions in the
city now is the brewery workers union
which has as its members all the workers Of
that trade in Omaha. 1t was organized less
than two years ago. Among Others tina
have been organized during the past two
years are the carriage and wagon workers
the colored walters, the cooks, the theatrl
cal mechanics and the laundry workers
The Central Labor union and district rs
sembly now have under Roadway the forma
tion of several other unions.

George Linden, a Plattsmouth sportsman,
! learn from the News, had a thrilling ad-
venture goose hunting up the Platte a couple
of weeks ago. a sudden rise in the erratic
Platte caught him on a bar and imprisoned
him there for nearly forty-eight hours. He
was rescued finally, however, by some far.
mcrs who discovered him just in the nick Of
time. AS an abundant reward for all the
privutlons he had been subjected to, on his
way home Linden killed n huge beaver in
the Platte just opposite Cullom. In speak
ing of this exploit the News says: 1t was
growing dark when the sportsman noticed
the tusks and nose of the wary 'furrier"
just above the water. He shot quickly with
good effect, and knowing the nature of the
animal that it wonld sink as soon as dead,
he sprang into the river which was waist
deep and grabbing the animal by the hind
leg he dragged 1t ashore, where it soon died.
He brought it to town and the scales show
that it weighed tifty-seven pounds, being
one of the largest ever killed on the river.
The pelt weighed six pounds and will bring
a neat sum of money.

Lovers of the realistic and thrilling melo-
drama will be offered an attraction second
TO none in that line, in Lost in New York"
the original tank drama. This play was
seen here some four years ago, ana made a
great hit. IL is one OF the few PLAYS of this
character that does not depend entirely on
its mechanical effects for its success. The
story is well written, fun of heart interest,
and entirely free from blood and thunder.
The characters are all natural, not over
drawn. The incidents probable, and the eli
MAKES, while extremely sensational, are not
far fetched. Aside from thedramatlc excel
lence OF the play, the realistic and scenic
effects introduced are worth a visit to the
theater to see. The entire stage Is converted
into a river OF flowing water, upon which
will be seen a fun rugged yacht, real ferries,
row boats and a genuine steamboat that runs
at a rate of twelve miles an hour carrying
a score of passengers, This is just one of the
many salient features of the
production. Two carloads of elaborate seen

the principal settings are the following:
The East River by moonlight, Rlndall's

new play. "Ihe Queen of Sheba." 1t was
written for Rhea by Nj. Adricn Barbussc Of
Paris and is probably the best play she has
yet had.
One Of the strongest attractions that will
be seen here this season is Friends" "A
clean society Comedy-drama, by Edwin Mil
ton Royle, which appears at the Boyd four
nights and Saturday matinee, commencing
December II.
The story outlined is that of two young
men, fast friends. and their love for the
same woman. One Jack Paden, jr., is the
son or n wealthy man, who has cast him
adrift because he has disregarded the pater-
nal wish that he become Il business man,
when his inclinations are those of a poet.
The other is a young musician named
Adrian harje, poor, but steadfast in his
friendship to his friend.
They share enc humble room and at the
opening of the play they arc so poor that be-
tween the two they have only one present
able suit of clothes, which each wears, as
che occasion requires.
The object of their love is a prima donna
of the Metropolitan Opera house under the
name of Marguerite Otto.
Jack learns intuitively that the girl
loves Adrian, and out Of friendship for
his friend conceals his own passion for her
and generously does all he can to advance
his friends suit.
Marguerite Otto is of noble birth and
an heiress, though unaware of either fact.

house, Harold Hunting, knows her his
tors and seeks to win her.
He has her stepfather, Hans Otto (whom
she believes to be her own father), in his
power on account of al embcz2lement COM
mitted by the old man, and thus uses that
knowledge as a power over him in order to
compel him to aid him in his suit for the
girls hand.
Hans Otto is taken to the apartments
OF the villain and there piled with whisky
and opium, to each of which he is a slave.
The girl is decoyed to the room at night
and compromised in the eyes of her Ameri-
can lover, who accused her of deceit and q
separation of the two follows.
In the attempt to rescue the old man a
shot is fired which blinds Adrian, aud he
temporarily loses his sight.
Jack, the faithful friend, discovers the
baseness of Harold Hunting, and brings
about n reconciliation between Adrian
and Marguerite, and the former RECEIVERS

people who appeared in il last season in the
