OF Bailey managed to get out OF harms way.
Bailey was standing on the derrick several
feet from the ground at the time and whether
he did not hear the warning cries or was
afnlid to jump eCto the frozen ground Will
never be known,
The armo and uprights of the derrick
struck q heavy ladder and some planks an
inch thick which were lying on a pile of
earth and smashed them into kiniling wood.
AS quickly as possible men ran from all
parts of the grounds to the scene of the uc-
oidoit aud removed enough OF the tmbers
to extriolte the man. He was taken to the
office of Rocheford g. Gould, the contractors,
and doctor was sent for. Life however,
was extinct before the physician arrived.
1t was learned that Bailey had been work
ing most OF the time for two weeks and was
employed On what is called the cCacrete

When section 10, providing for the redemp
tion of bank notes at the New York sub
treasury and other designated points, was
reached Mr.. Cox asked MIR. Gage why he
did not specify that the redemption should
be in gold or other legal money. The secre-
tary answered that less discretionary power
imposed on an executive officer in the eXecu-

executive officers might have indscTetion and
do foolish things. Moreover, this discretion
existed now
When the remainder OF the bill had been
read a general discussion began. In answer
to a cross fire of questions Mr.. Gage said the
bill could not result in raid on the treas

Sock to EniOin pnNment.

The injunction suit wherein Councilman
A. r. Kelly seeks to enjoin City Treasurer
Broadwell from cashing the warrants drawn
to pay Peer Lenagh for removing garbage
has been on call during the week in the dis
trict court and may possibly be taken up
today. The answer OF Treasurer Broadwell
was only filed yesterday.
AT a meeting of the council held August
last the sum of 500 was allowed Lenagh
out of the general fund for the removal OF
removing garbage had been taxed up against
the property, but at this meeting the city
attorney gave it as his opinion that such
action was illegal and a majority Of the
councilmen voted to pay Lenagh out of the
city treasury. Councilman Kelly con-
tended that this action on the part of his
colleagues was Illegal and he secured an
order of the court restraining the city treas
urer from paying ,he warrants.
In his answer Treasurer Broadwell denies
nearly all of the allegations in the petition
filed by Kelly, but he does assert that the
city has no right to assess the cost of re-
moving garbage up against property. He
further holds that the garbage master must
look to the owner or occupant of the prem
ises for his pay and this is just what Coun-
Gilman Kelly contends. In order to justify
the acts of the council Broadwell alleges
that the city was in a dangerous sanitary
condition last summer when this work was
performed and that it was imperative for
the health of the citizens that such refuse
be removed The warrants in question are
now held by Omaha spectators and would
not, in the ordinary course of business, be
presented to the treausrer for payment for
some months to come.

Last evening at Boyds theater the Nordica
Concert compaoy gave a performance that
will be remembered by these who heard 1t as
one of the great events in their musical ex-
perience. Music is an art that is to be en-
joyed in proportion to its excellence and its
excellence depends upon both the music it.
self and its rendering. When one Can hear
fine program really interpreted he is eXperi-
encing rare treat Much music is pro-
grained but very little Is ever interpreted.
There is an inner soul to all compositions OF
the first order that composers feel but only
the greatest artists are ever able to express.
To tho true musician composition is much
more than a series of sounds; 1t is an eXpres-
sion of thought of feeling The great artist
appreciates this and embodcs 1t in his inter-
pretation. The listener apprehends its ores
ence, but is often unaware of its nature or
cause.
Nine Nordica has revealed the soul OF
music. She has, by her wonderful voice, her
exquisite technique, her profound musician
ship, touched chords long uutuned to natures
hafmonies. She has told those who heard
her that there is something more in music
than melody or succession of harmonies.
Everyone came to the concert last even-
ing because Nine. Nordica WIS to sing.
Everyone came with an idea that the whole
program was Of the Nordica order and was
to be judged by her standard. 1t would be
impossible to form a company in which all

one.
