TRY TO BURN PESTHOUSE

An attempt was made to burn ,ne South
Omaha pesthouse, at Thrtieth and ] streets.
last night.
That the FIRE was OF incendiary origin is
shown by the fact that parts Of the building
had been saturated with kerosene. Prompt
action by the FIRE department saved the
building from destruction. and the damage
Is comparatively slight. The fire broke out
In two places-the roof and ground floor
porch.
The fouse was unoccupied, the city having
purchased IL for emergency HOSPITAL pur-
poses only the day before. II was the in
tention to remove several smallpox patients
there today, but now II will be necessary to
delay such action until repairs are made.
The water thrown by the fremen thor
oughly soaked the place and that Is another
reason why 1t is not ready for immediate
use.
Small Frame Structure.
The building IL a small frame structure OF
three rooms. Workmen had been engaged
yesterday cleaning and otherwise preparing
for the reception OF patients. and such scant
furniture as pesthouses require was in
position. There was a FIRE In the stove. but
the discovery Of kerosene on the outside OF
the house sets at naught the theory that the
blaze originated from that source.
No particular effort has been made to as
certain the identity OF the incendiaries. The
most plausible motive Is that a pesthouse
was not wanted at Thlrtieth and J streets.
1t was announced officially last night that
there will be no surrender from the original
plans, and as soon as the place is in proper
condition smallpox patients will be taken
there. To prevent the possibility OF further
application OF the torch n police watch will
be established. It is announced. The fr,
was discovered at s. 80 o'clock and was sub.
dued few minutes later.

MUSIC.

After ALL there is but one exponent Of
real, true, living rhythm, and the exponent
aforesaid bears the name OF Strauss.
The magnificent "crescendos," the delicate
"dmlnuendos" and the wonderful "pianis-
simos" OF the orchestra under the magic
baton OF Eduard Strauss challenge ones ad-
miration.
AS a matter OF course, one must neces-
sarily feel dissatisfied because Strauss does
not play the greatest music OF the great
ones Of earth. But the reply comes quick,
stern and sudden. STRAUSS plays Strauss
and plays IL WE'LL"
Every student OF music should have heard
the program last night, because It. was a
revelation in the realm Of rhythmic thought.
No one can forget the wonderful accent OF
those superb strings In the triple tempo OF
the waltz. nor can one resist the all power
full swing OF the music as II is played by
the instrumentalists Of the famous viennese
orchestra under the guidance OF the erratic,
peculiar but wonderful genius OF Eduard
Strauss.
When the curtain at the Boyd theater
was rolled up there was an audience which
represented the social and musical elements
OF Omaha's population. There was a de-
cided sprinkling of the society leaders in
the parquette and in the dress circle, AMI
amongst these there was a noticeable per-
centage Of those who are usually boxholders
but who evidently attended last night to
hear" the music, rather than to "see" IT,
and therefore took seats in front OF the
players instead OF sitting at one side.
The musical colony was well represented.
every local musician OF consequence being
present. Some choirs abandoned or post
poned their regular Friday night rehearsals
feeling that the choir member would learn
more of rhythm tone color" and
tempo" from Eduard Strauss than they
would at a choir rehearsal.
To enter into the merits Of the orchestra
or each member would be as superfiuous rs
IL would be unnecessary, for there is bat
one Strauss orchestra, and but one living
Strauss, and he, 1t is said, will never come
here again. JE.
Omaha has, in all proba bility, heard the
last remaining member OF the Strauss
family. and now 1t behoores some American
to organize an orchestra on the Strauss
model. giving only plain music, music of the
people, for the people. Who will be the
American Strauss?
We have our symphony orchestras and
our brass bands, but what have we between.
Nothing! There is room in America for
STRAUSS" organization. Who will start Il?
