WORKING TIME INCREASED
Union Pacific shopmen Are to Get
Nine Hours More Work
Week.

The hours governing the shopmen in the
employ of the Union Pacific car shops have
been increased owing to the pressure OF ex-
ira work Formerly the work day consisted
OF eight hours, with no work on Saturday.
In preference to hiring new men whom 1t
would be necessary to break in. and out of
Difference to those employees who are not
skilled mechanics and who accordingly draw
small wages, it has been decided by the
management to add an hour day and a
half day on Saturday, making a difference
weekly of nine hours more time. The men
are paid by the hour. The new order goes
into operation on Monday and affects about
$50 men. Those employed in the yards,
roundhouses and depots will not be affected.

Miss Rehan had another opportunity that
summer to attest loyalty to her chief, for
the season at Day's was not far advanced
before a noble lord made her a proposal of
marriage. She declined both engagements
and returned with her manager to New
York, where another temptation awaited
her. This was an offer of $1,000 a week by
certain American managers, who noting the
success of John Drew's starring tour, com
bined their capital to exploit his former
partner in the same style. This effort was
no more prosperous than its predecessors.

been deserted by almost all the actors whose
art he had developed and whose reputation
he had established, the conduct of Miss
Rehan seemed so admirable that MIR. Daily
remembered her loyalty handsomely in his
will. Although Charles Frohman was
actuated merely by business enterprise in
engaging John Drew, our manager never
got over that sorrow. Drew was receiving
small salary at Daly's; he was offered
double the money by Frohman and, after
laying the proposal before his director and
receiving no encouragement from him,
Drew naturally decided to improve his con-
dition. 1t is said that Mr.. Daily never spoke
to John Drew after learning his decision to
join the rival manager, although the come

Coming Events.


The return of the Woodward Stock com
pany to Boyds theater today will certainly
relieve the monotony of, so far a most
dull summer theatrical season. This popu-
lar organization, for its initial week. com
mencing with matinee this afternoon, will
produce THE Wife," which is one of David
Belasco's best efforts in playwriting. Since
"Zaza," of which Mr.. Belasco is the author,
was first produced in New York and made
such tremendous success there has been
great demand by the theater-go public
for his plays.
The Wife" was first produced by the
Frohmans and, as everybody acquainted with
theatrical doings knows, these managers
never stage poor play, therefore 1.-THE
Wife" having just been produced by them
is in itself sufficient recommendation as to
its merit as a play. OF the Woodward
company, they are so well known in Omaha
that it is hardly necessary to offer any COM
ment upon their artistic ability. The
presentation of THE Wife" for the OPEN
ing bill seems especially appropriate, as
the company has appeared with particular
success in society plays. The play admits
OF very dignified and effective treatment.
Its theme is always a popular one and has
enough comedy intermingled with it's dram
attic scenes to give 1t interesting variety.
The play has been rehearsed with special
care and has been staged with particular
attention to effective settings. Scenic
artists have been employed for the last five
weeks at the Boyd theater preparing the
sets, four in number, which are said to be
very elaborate. This play was used very
successfully as the closing attraction of
this company in the Auditorium theater,
Kansas City, and the press was profuse in
favorably commenting upon the beautiful
production.
For the week commencing with matinee
today the Trocadero will present another
list of star entertainers, including several
specially engaged features. Leading the
bill is the Chicago Lady quartet. These
singers have appeared formerly before only
the audiences of lecture halls. Their vaude-
vile debut will be one of the bright draw
ing cards socially and theatrically, of the
season. 1t will be high-class concert by
celebrated singers. their program being
unique and including selections immensely
pleasing to all.
Belmont and Doerity team of dancers
formerly numbered among the favorites of
Rice's 1882" company, will be seen in
sketch brimfull of opportunities for them
to display their originality and talent
ZaZell and Vernon, European artists will
present an acrobatic comedy act upon the
horizontal bars. Their act is a pleasing
blending of the most difficult parts per-
formed and abundantly funny burlesque.
Josephine Harvey. slide trombone sooist,
Will contribute to the entertainment ope-
ratio excerpts and popular airs.
The sketch by the four Pckerts, the
original brownies. is said to be an act full
OF good humoT, frolc and refinement.
Harris and Walls come billed as the
worlds greakst life-picture artists. The
act is said to be remarkable for striking
stage settings and natural effects.
Feats of balancing skill will be per-
formed by Carl Charles, king of equili-
brists
