THE SCOTCH ENTERTAINMENT.
A Most Successful Program Given
at the Normal.

The entertainment given at the
Normal school Friday by the edi-
tors of the Mankatonian was of high
order, and deserved much larger
house than was present. The general
subject was the new Scotch school of
writer's, and this was well illustrated
by the musical and literary program.
The new Normal orchestra gave an
opening overture and closing selec-
tion, and in both did itself credit. 1t
is the first musical organization of the
kind started at the school for many
years, and it isa great success. Prof.
Cox was the originator of the move,
and to him the credit of its success
is largely due.
Miss Andrews, who has for several
years had general charge of the edit
ing of the MdnEat0na01o, the monthly
paper gotten up by the students of
the school, gave very instructive
talk on the more recent Scotch writ
ers and proved herself to be familiar
Scotch with literature to an unusual
degree.
Miss Andrews and Miss Aalund
sang the lullaby, ooh, can ye sew
cushions?', in very pretty manner.
Miss Aalund followed with "Willie's
game to Melville CASTLE" She possesses
voice of unusual sweetness and
power, and won many deserved COM
pliments.
Miss Ballard read "Mending the
clock, and chapter from "a Window
in Thurms," acquiting herself very
creditably.
Miss Thompson followed with the
pretty piece, ''Beside the bonnie brier
BUSH"
Misses Sparrow and Griffin rendered
SO, vert thou in the cauld BLAST"
and the former followed with "Of a.
the ARTS the winds can blaw." Both
selections were rendered in very
happy manner.
Miss Rowell read an interesting Sc
lection from can old ScotchGardener."
A chorus composed of some dozen
excellent voices, well trained by Miss
Griffin, sang Lament for the earl of
Moray" and "When the kye come
hame," Miss Pearl Heydon taking the
solo part in the latter very nicely.
This same chorus afterwards sang
.'Scots wha haze wi'Wallace bled," and
''The bonnie, bonnie banks O. Loeb
Lomond."
Miss Ludcke read a selection from
''The Stickit Minister" showing her
excellent Evolutionary ability, which
is of high order.
Miss Sparrow sang "My heart is
sair for somebody" and "The bonnie
brier bush," winning deserved ap-
plause.
The lights were eXtinguished, and
some twenty scenes in Scotland were
presented with the stereopticon. Miss
Andrews explained these in fluent
and interesting manner, holding the
closest attention of the audience.
The scenes were mostly taken in
and about Edinburgh, with few
scenes of noted abbeys and lakes.
Miss Andrews visited all these places
when in Scotland, and this made her
talk doubly interesting.
The entertainment was a great sue
cess and appealed particularly to the
patriotic feelings of those of Scotch
decent who were present.

Remnrhable Defense for murder.

SAVANNAH, June %. "A sensational trial
ended last night in the acquittal of Sam
uel Davis, charged with murder. The
killing occurred over year ago. Davis
shot William Rawls, son of ex-Congress-
man Rawls in the street in front of his
house The defense adduced no evidence,
relying entirely on the statement of the
accused to the jury. Davis declared he
had grounds to believe Rawls intended to
seduce his wife, and cited suspicious in
stances as confirmation. Rawls had often
boasted to him of his conquests over mar
ried women. and in moment of insanity
at the discovery of his intention toward
his DavisD wife he shot him. The jury

WHERE Reform IS NEEDED.
Omaha citizens of All Parties to Meet OF
Common Ground.


OMAHA, June 2g.-The demand for mu-
nicipal reform in Omaha became so pro
nounced today that the business men and
citizens, regardless of party feelings have
united in the publication of a proclama-
tion calling for the organization of a
movement looking to the introduction Of
business methods in the city government
Months ago it was noticed that city
money was being used by speculators, con-
tractors and Others with political influ-
ence The matter became so fragrant two
weeks since that the school board de-
manded an investigation as to its funds
The next day City Treasurer Bolln fed
from the city, leaving "a note that he had
gone to commit suicide Officers located
him in hiding.
An investigation showed that many
members of the city council and other
politicians owed the city from 500 TO
$1,000 each The only security the treas
urer had was "a slip in the cash drawer in
dicating the amount due the city on the l
o. y. Cash was missing to the amount
of S30,0OO SINCE then this has been re
duced two-thirds by the 1. o. US being
taken up.
The council, in the face of the situation,
refused to depose Bolln, though many
citizens We're demanding his arrest. A
week after his defalcations were made
known Bolln resigned. The mayor sent
names of citizens to councils to succeed
Bolln, but that body refused to contir}S
the nominations, in the meantime leavin,N
Bolln in office. After turning down many
of the most reliable citizens of Omaha the
council, at 10 o'clock last night, after a
weeks delay, confirmed J. H. Dumot as
city treasurer.
All this has resulted in vigorous non
sectarian and non-partigan citizens move
ment for municipal reform. The A. P
A, which is now a controlling faction in
local politics, is not mentioned in the
proclamation, though its wording carries
the inference thatfwar is made on the a.
