AN IMMENSE AUDIENCE.
Inquiries for Two Weeks Past Concerning
the Yaw Reserved Seat Sale.
THERE WILL BE A RUSH TUESDAY
Orders for seats from Neighborinp
Towns and ~Cities-The rEe and
Most Fashionable Audience of
tbs Season VIII Hear Yaw.

II the numerous inquiries concerning the
Yaw engagement is an indication of what the
sale will be this week, 1t is already plain
that the Creighton thester will be packed
and damned with the elite OF Omaha on the
night Of the great singers appearance here.
That Miss Yaw and her company can draw
immense audiences is shown by the uniform
enthusiasm in the great American cities. We
give below a brief account of her concert
Ia two:
CLEVELAND.
Not in many a day has a Cleveland au-
dience become so enthusiastic over a song
stress as the audience at Music hall became
over Yaw. The audience numbered over
1000, the excursion trains bringing in 1900
from neighboring cities. She sang as high
az average sopranos. then piled an octave Of
tones upon that. and still seemed capable Of
adding a few more without much effort. The
range of tone is certainly most remarkable,
and one cannot but be astonished at the
quality that Is ever apparent with either
high or low tones; lower tones are rich,
upper tones pure and fute-like.
ATLANTA.
People who went as Doubling Thomases
In Atlanta-and a good many did go in that
role-came away convinced that they had
listened to perhaps the most remarkable
vocal performance OF the age. From low,
deep cOntralto tones she went with apparent
ease. up TO the clouds, giving with unmis-
taxable truth f above high e, almost an
octave higher than PATHS highest tone. 1t
Is estimated that there were 1000 people
present,

Nor Doing This Lawrence is Now
Charged with burglary.

Charged with burglary.
j. A.. Lawrence, a bicycle repair man
doing business at 100 South Fourteenth
street, was made a prisoner last evening in
a very peculiar case. The charge is bur-
glary, but Lawrence Indignantly denies this,
Last February II. K, Glover and ii. L.
Chrismann ran a machine shop located on
North Twenty-fourth street near the Belt
line. They had a disagreement and decided
to part company. In the contract they were
TO divide the property of the firm in equal
portions and each one start In business for
himself. Clover alleges that while he was
absent from his place of business Chrismann
and Lawrence broke into the shop and took
away machinery belonging to himself Of the
value of 5000.
Ii is upon these grounds that Lawrence
has been placed under arrest on a charge of
burglary, Glover moreover alleges that he
has never been able to locate the place
where the machinery was secreted and
figures that he is out of pocket in the above
amount,
Lawrence states that he was hired by
Chrismann to assist him In removing the
machinery and knew nothing Whatever about
any trouble existing between the partners.
He says they did not break into the place,
but entered by means of a key which Chris
mann had. Lawrence gave bonds for his
appearance later in the week.

HE HAD A JOYOUS JAG ON BOARD
Peculiar Influence Of Liquor Upon n
Man In This city.

Influence of liquor Upon n
travelling Man In This city.
w. Ralston, a travelling man from Chi
cago. made things hum and kept people
moving lively about the corner OF Sixteenth
street and Capitol avenue for some minutes
Friday night. He was somewhat intoxicated,
and furnished amusement for a big crowd OF
spectators, and at the same time annoyed
a few.
Ralston took his position beside a fruit
wagon and purchased a dozen big oranges.
He then proceeded to amuse himself by
giving vent to Comanche yells and throw
ing his oranges at everybody and everything
in sight. The passersby at once scattered
as IL they were being bombarded by hot
shot and looked on from a safe distance.
When Ralston exhausted his ammunition he
bought another dozen, and still another.
Before he got any further interference came,
RalstOn's am was bad and he did not do
much damage to the passersby. His prin-
cipal target vas a peddler on the other side
of Sixteenth street, who enjoyed the sport
greatly by gathering in as many of the
oranges as he could and piling them on his
wagon. With one of his last dozen still in
mis- hands, however. a new mark came into
T,alston's range. and this brought about his
downfall. 1t was an express wagon coming
down the street at a merry clip. The driver
did not see the travelling man and was push
ing on the Ieins for all he was worth,
When Ralston saw the rig he SHE'D his last
orange with all his might at the driver.
The aim was good. The orange landed on
the side of the drivers face with a ound-
ing whack and burst and the yellow Juice
streamed down his face.
"Mein Colt. l have been struck NIT n
brickbat." yelled the German driver of the
express wagon at the top of his voice, as he
jumped a foot from the seat, dropped the
reins and gathered his head in his hands.
The horse started to run away but some of
the spectators rushed out and stopped it
before 1t had gained any Roadway.
A policeman appeared on the scene In
time to take in the incident and rushed upon
the travelling man. The latter hurried to
buy another dozen of oranges with which to
lombard the policeman, but before he could
do so the officer ARRESTED him. Ralston was
inclined to resist. He said that he had paid
for the oranges and he could do whatever he
wished with his purchase.
In police court yesterday Ralston was
charged with being drunk and disorderly
and was fined 81 and costs.

ADMITS DESERVING HER CHILD.
Cora Reese Arrested and Arrnigned
in Police Court.

NJ
in Police Court.
Cora Reese, the 19-year-old mother of the
6-weeks-old baby left GU the steps of the
Sacred Heart convent a few nights ago. was
arraigned in police court yesterday on the
charge of cruelty to children. She pleaded
not guilty and the case was continued a few
days. The girl was arrested at her room in
Council Bluffs Friday night and was brought
to this city.
The conclusion of the case will be watched
with considerable interest, as it is the first
to be brought under the new law passed by
the legislature making it a crime to desert
or abandon children. In the past there has
been no section in the Nebraska statutes
providing punishment for cruelty to children.
Tho new law was pushed by the police and
the humane society.
The Reese girl says she was forced to get
rid of the child, owing to the complaii..s of
her parents. Her father accompanied her and
stated in police court yesterday that he
did object to the baby. The girl does not
deny the desertion of her child. The girl has
divulged the name of the baby's father and
an effort Will be made by her relatives to
induce her to marry him, which she at
present refuses to do. II a settlement is not
made in this matter, the man will be
prosecuted. He lives in South Omaha.

He was removed to a neighboring drug

rival of a physician. With some difficulty
the flow of blood was finally stopped and
the man was restored to consciousness. He
