INDIANS ARE BECOMING sOTS
DOntIcEEcrs Continue to Invade the
Omaha and W~innebngo
Reservations

The business Of bootlegging on the Omaha
and Winnebago reservations has had a de-
cided growth during the last few weeks.
1t is stated that the reservations are over
run with parties who are selling liquor to
the Indians.
Charles p. Mathewson, Indian agent for
thIse agencies, was in the city yesterday
aAd said; 1T is deplorable and am prac-
tically unable to do anything to stop the
sale of liquor to the Indians. Since the
Office Of field deputy United States marshal
has been abolished scores Of these liquor
dealers have opened up shops along the line
Of the reservation and are daily selling
liquor to the Indians, who are spending
their time about the saloons or following
men who cross the country, dealing out the
stun at 81 per pint. 1t is having a bad
effect, The Indians are neglecting and
abusing their families and going to ruin as
rapidly as possible. Fights are of frequent
occurrence and If something is not done
there will be some tragedies to record"
County Attorney Chase of Thurston
county says: more liquor has been sold
during the last two months than during
the same number OF years prior thereto.
The towns Of Homer, Decatur and Sioux
city are constantly Alled with Indians who
are spending their time and money in the
saloons. All over the reservations you will
find drunken Indians who have bought
liquor in these towns or OF the dealers who
travel about from place to place in wagons.
We are considering a plan TO prosecute
under the provisions Of the Slocumb Law
and if we can reach the dealers in this way
we propose to do So

BOILER INSPECTORS VERSION
Says lie is Not the Whole Examining
Eonrd nnd Denies DIscrimina-
ton in Issuing Licenses.

OMAHA, Dec. 29.-To the Editor Of The
Bee: | clipped the following from this
evenings Bee:
The arrest and trial of members Of the
county board ON q charge Of employing an
unlicensed engineer ina the county building
disclose a defense based on the assertion
petent, but was arbitrarily refused a license
by the city boiler inspector for purely poe
liiical reasons, Should this defense be held
good II will constitute a charge against the
city boiler Inspector which he should be re-
CURED to answer, No public officer has
any right TO discriminate between april
cants for professional liCeuseg for partisan
purposes and shOuld such practices be
proved ms commission should be cut short
forthwith.
If l understood the contention of the as
sistant county attorney right the defense Of
the county commissioners was that they
were not subject to arrest for their official
acts, and the case was continued for one
week TO give the attorneys time to look up
the law on that point and present II 10 the
court, As the qualifications of several gem
tlemen whom it was claimed had made appli-
cation for engineers licenses We're spoken OF
by the county attorney / would respectfully
call your attention TO section 4 of the city
ordinance, which reads as follows.
The mayor shall also designate and ape
point By and with the consent OF the city
council, ~ persons, WhD shall be qualified
and have had a. least five years eNucgi-
enCe as practical and mechanical eugi-
neers ana DO hold, VI are qualified 10 hold,
Omaha daily bee., 1899-12-31

a frst-class certificate as engineers. who, in
conf Seton with the boiler Inspection, shall
| constitute a board of engineers.
d. w. Gilbert, the chairman of the Board
of Engineers, is at present, and has been for
several years past, engaged as engineer at
the Nineteenth street plant of the Omaha
Street Railway company and was a member
Of the Board Of Engineers before received
my appointment. f. w. Perkins, the other
member of theN Board of Engineers, is at
present. and has been for several years past,
engineer at the Merchants National Bank
building. Surely these gentlemen have
something to say about the qualifications OF
the applicants for engineers license; l am
not the whole board.
Mr.. Rustin, the engineer at the county poor
farm. made his application for engineers
license to me and was examined by the same
board of engineers and was granted license.
| presume he is a democrat, or fusionist. and
| have never heard him say he was disCrim-
mated against because of his political belief,
or that he got any favors shown him on that
account.
My annual report each year will show that
many applicants for engineers licenses are
refused and l presume each one has his par
ticular reason why he was refused.
These gentlemen were examined in due
form by the Board of Engineers of this city
and refused license. ] am simply following
out the mandate of the city ordinance, which
| was sworn to do when | qualified for the
Office, and which ! have done in regard to
individuals in several instances before, and
l see no reason why an exception should be
made in the case of the county commission
ers. Yours very respectfully,

CITY Boiler InspeCtor.

STARTS A Reign OF TERROR
Animni In West End of the city Ter
rorizcs NeighbOrhood for Eff
teen Hours.

For fifteen hours during Friday night and
Yesterday morning a territory Of ten, acres in
the nelghborhood of Fiftieth and Leayen-
worth streets was ruled supreme by a huge
dog, half Newfoundland and half mastiff.
The animal was the property of b. +.
Strawn, 1907 South Fifty-irst street, and
until yesterday had always been a great
%fayorite on account of his kind and gentle
nature. On Friday afternoon, however, he
became tired of being a noble animal and
a protector of children and started in on a
new career by swapping at the little Strawn
girl. The child's arm was barely scratched,
but she ran screaming into the house.
From the dogs point of view the expert
ment was a success and he turned to the
other children romping in the yard, but
their start was too great ana they gained
the house before he could reach them. The
passersby then came in for their share OF
the animals attention and ~diguifed old men
and stout women broke records in seeking
places Of shelter. The Inhabitants in an
that part of the country became suddenly
impressed with the desire to get indoors
and stay there, and the only signs Of human
beings were white faces pressed against
window panes.
The dog ran around through the neigh
borhCod until the supply Of persons seemed
exhausted, and then he came and sat on
Strawn's front porch and wept because
there was no one more to conquer.
Yesterday one OF Strawn's boys by a
succession OF strategic movements down all
legs escaped the dogs notice and made his
way to a telephone at Forty-eighth and
L~eayenwOrth streets. The police were
Notified and Officer Reigleman, armed with
a shot gun, made his way to the front at
once. The dog caught sight of the officer
about four blocks away and ran 70 meet
him. Reigleman rested his gun on a post
and waited until he saw The whites OF the
dogs eyes, then he fired,
the shot was effective and a multitude Of
grateful people poured out from the neigh
boring houses and overwhelmed the officer
with congratulations.

HAPPYNEWYE YEAR FOR PEBBLES
Rejoicing over the saving of an
Only son by the Amputa-
ton Of a Leg.

Nj. and Mrs. W. e. Peebles'of Pender, ac-
ccmpanied by their son, Ivan c. PEBBLES,
passed through Omaha Friday on their
way home from Chicago, where they took
their boy for surgical treatment four weeke
ago. A malignant perlosteal sarcoma on the
right leg necessitated the amputatlon of that
limb
The operation was performed by Dr., Mich
o'aa Sem, recognized by the medical frater-
Mtg as a leading surgeon OF the United
states, with but one or two equals in the
world.
The young man, who is IS years OF age,
Omaha daily bee., 1899-12-31

and the only child of Mr.. and Mrs. PEBBLES,
has recuperated wonderfully since the opera
ton. When his parents started TO Chicago
with him his case was regarded beyond the
reach OF help, but the determined fight to
save him is finally rewarded. and, although
he has now only one leg, he appears cheer
full and happy at the prospect of returning
TO his Nebraska home feeling so well and
strong.

Coming Events.

The attraction Boyd's theater will offer
for the opening Of the new year will be 9TH
Telephone Girl" a New York Casino review
on the order Of "a Passing Show and others
of the comedy reviews originated by this
firm yearly.
The Telephone Girl is a light musical
comedy with no particular plot. The music
is by Gustave Kirker and the dialogue from
the pen OF Hugo Morton. The piece will be
opened this afternoon and will continue un-
til Wednesday night, with matinees tomor-
row and Wednesday. 1t is in two acts and
numerous scenes. The opening scene is laid
in the operating room of a large city tele-
phone exchange. The stage is ranged about
with the customary switchboard, at which
fifteen girls are seated. In the center OF the
stage are the desks of the chief operators.
The exaggerated burlseQue of what takes
place in such a place on a busy day makes
the action of the piece. The chorus is COM
posed entirely of women. 1t is said the
piece is very deliberately staged and cos
tuned.

The most surprising in a musical way Is
that which has been undertaken by the
Young Mems Christian association. In the
present course of amusements supplied at
small cost to the people by the a~ssocia-
ton there are booked some strong musical
attractions. Mr.. Willis, in response to an
inquiry concerning the Sherwood concert,
said: 1--WE are trying to fulfill the mission
of the Young Mems Christian association
and that is the growth of young men, in
every direction tending to their highest
and noblest development. We do not want
to limit our work to gymnasium classes,
bible classes or any other kind OF classes.
We believe that refinement of taste is one of
the essentials of the well-developed man
and to this end We assumed the tremendous
responsibilities of the expense of this
course. You know the reputation of these
people and can judge the enormity of the
undertaking accordingly"
All honor to Mr.. Willis, and his assist
ant, Mr.. Mayne, who looks very we'll in a
box office Of a theater, and to all the mem
bers of the Young Mems Christian ~associa-
tion who have worked hard for the success
of their undertaking. The theater was
crowded last Wednesday night, and it was
simply delicious to hear the somewhat UNI
usual remarks: Very sorry, sir, there is
not a seat left
These course tickets are worth 81 apiece
to the holder, and reserved seats are charged
for in addition to this. And yet, it pays, and
| may it continue TO pay.

The attractions for New Years week at
Boyd's theater will include the ever-wel-
come Bostonians. The excellent reputation
of this splendid light opera company and
the warm regard in which it's principal
artists are held here augurs well for its
engagement. The repertoire to be presented
here has been arranged to include not only
operas that have long since been established,
but a new composition will be introduced
which will be the novelty of the engage
ment and which will enlist the entire
strength of the organization in its presenta-
ton. As arranged The ~Smugglers of Bada-
yez'' will be presented on Friday night,
THE Serenade" by Victor Herbert Saturday
night and on Saturday afternoon robin
Hood" will be the bill. This season some
slight changes in the personnel of the COM
pany are noted, but from all accounts the
ensemble is stronger than ever, and the
addition of several young and talented
singers has created an unusual interest in
their work. Noted among the favorites are
Henry Clay Barnabee, w. H. Mcdonald,
Helen Bertram, Marcia Van Dresser, John
Dunsmure, Frank Rushworth, George
rockingham, w. II. Fitzgerald, Josephine
Bartlett and an Omaha girl, Grace Cam
eIon, a young lyric soprano who has given
great promise and received endorsements
elsewhere, and who will appear in leading
roles during the engagement. A large cho-
rus and orchestra under the direction Of
S. j.. Studley will be in support.

This is an object lesson to the Woman's
club. Mrs. Ford has handled first-class at
fractions under the club auspices, and at
the absurd price of 10 cents admission fee
there has been no financial response. The
members of the Women's club stand for re-
finement, culture, mental improvement and
all the rest of it. Why is it that they do
not push a musical entertainment of high
grade?
There are enough women in Omaha, mem
bers of the club aforesaid, to have filled the
Boyd theater last Wednesday afternoon, when
the great Nevada sang. But her sex was
wofully missing. She met with a frost, a
killing frost. Where were the refined, the
artistic, the superior women of Omaha on
that occasion? But TO return to Mrs. Ford's
concerts. Why is it that this association
OF women, 90 far superior to the rank and
file of the Young Mems Christian associa-
tiOn membership, in social prestige, in edu-
cational matters. in refined and cultured
mentality, can make nothing but a failure
out Of a good musical event, while the men
can pack Boyd's theater so that prominent
people are glad to accept a seat in the or
chestra pit, and gentle women climb to dizzy
heights of the gallery?
What is lacking? Organization or push ?
Less theorizing and more action? Or can It
be that the real taste is absent? Perish the
thought!

We have added materially to our list OF
teachers and have gained, at least, numerical
strength therein. That we have obtained
artistic strength remains to be proved,
One Of the churches has changed its
musical affairs in no small way. The COM
ing year will tell whether the change will
be attended with good results. Why not?
one of the great colleges of the west has
added a musical department which should
work wonders. The personnel of the quar-
tt choirs has been varied considerably.
New music stores have been opened. New
singers of local interest have been intro
duced and have entered upon a semi-profes-
sional career. Some of the older singers
have left town and have secured more prom

MUSIC.


Twelve long, somber, serious strokes OF
the midnight bell tonight and the year is
ended. Perchance, the century, But there
is neither time nor space to discuss that.
And with it there has passed a year Of
much change in the musical conditions Of
the city Of Omaha. The exposition has fur
nished much entertainment and not a little
education by the programs which were heard
every day. Bellstedt, in particular, did
much for the music-hungry and led many
people to observe the truth OF the fact that
My Coal Black Lady" is not as satisfying
to the cultured taste as is Vorspiel to
"Lohengrin."
The visits Of noted artists have not been
greeted with much enthusiasm, considering
the art-creed OF the well-to-do people who
have the privilege of living in this city OF
the middle west.
We are still without an auditorium or a
home for music. We are no further advanced
in the prospects Of obtaining a perma-
nent orchestra or even a good band. We
have not yet been able to organize a thor
ough musical choral society.
Omaha daily bee., 1899-12-31

The year 1900 is upon us. A warfare in the
interests OF art in Omaha should be waged.
The start has been made. Who will fol-
low? We must have an auditorium, and it
can be had. Brains, supported by money,
can accomplish anything. When will the
foundation 10 laid? We must have a per-
manent musical organization, and we can
have it. Who will offer the first So bill
toward its promotion? We must have the
best musical attractions. Who will buy the
first season ticket? Who will be the first
to stay away from the trashy entertain
ment, the idiotic black-face cake walk craze?
Who will refuse to support the ignoble, the
deleterious, the destructive in art imita-
ton? Let the new year come!

"Did I ever have an audience with the
pope? Yes, and | believe it is said that l
enjoy the distinction OF being the only
artist who has ever had an audience with
his holiness. My audience with him is some
thing that | shall never forget, because he
spoke so beautifully about the profession,
He said that he hoped that l would be an

that he saw no reason why it should not be
