Complaint is made that paving opera
lions in Omaha are again being deferred
because the preliminary steps required
before contracts are let have not been
executed. The trouble is that the city
leaves the initiative either to the prop
erty owners concerned or to the paving
contractors who hope to get the contract
In both cases with unsatisfactory re-
suits. Where the interest of the prop
erty owner is not sufficiently aroused
the petition lags, and the same is true
when. the contractors ardor is dampened
for any personal motive. This defect
might be remedied If the council should
take 1t upon itself to declare the neces-
sity Of a new pavement on any street
where the need Of street improvement is
fragrant and instruct the Board of Pub
lie Works to procure the petitions with
out the intervention of either the prop
erty owners or the paving contractors.
II this were done the streets which most
need pavenlents would soon have them.
At the same time the opportunities for
irregularities on which the validity Of
the special taxes could be attacked later
In the courts would be greatly reduced.

ORATOR|O Of
THE CREATION
Choral Union Will Render
Haydn's Masterpiece.
Proceeds of Entertainment Will be
Given to the Florence Bandit
Properly Supported 1t Will
Mean New Uniforms.

At the rehearsal of the Oratorio
chorus Thursday evening, it was
decided to give the Creation" in
about two weeks. The choruses are
now well III hand and the soloists are
working on their difficult parts.
The association has very kindly
offered to give the proceeds to the
Florence band, which has accepted the
business management of this musical
treat in store for the music loving
people of the city.
The band is in need of new uniforms
and few more Instruments The
people of Florence will surely show
their appreciation of these two musi-
cal organizations. Few towns of onr
size have the vocal talent to present
Haydn Creation" one of the most
difficult and at the same time one of
the most beautiful vocal scores ever
written. The Orutorio will be pre-
faced by two concert selections by the
band. These pieces are now in pre-
paration and are much more ambitious
than anything attempted heretofore.
A second or third rate brass band is
one of the most consummate nuisances
that could possibly infect city, On
the other hand a first class musical
organization is always i'll demand,
for it is not only "A pleasure for the
people of the town but it is a splendid
advertisement. The Florence band
is made up of splendid personnel,
and it has in it the making of band
of which Florence may well be proud
The progress the members have already
made since their organization shows
that they possess talent which, If op-
portunity is offered, will put them in
the front rank of amateur bands.
Everyone should contribute to this
cause by attending the Oratorio of the
Creation. -

Daks Opera House.

Keller, the renowned hypnotist opens a two-night's engagement al Dake opera house commencing Thurs. day night, March 13. Mir. Keller has wide reputation as a hypnotist and entertainer. His works are some thing new in the hypnotic line and are different from others. He pre- sents the scientific side as we'll as the funny side of hypnotism and he never fails to interest and amuse the most learned and fastidious. He comes to us from Phenix where he held the boards for three nights to large and appreciative audiences. His works there were pronounced by editors, lawyers, ministers and phvsi- cians as simply marvellous, and press notices state that he presents some startling facts in the line of hypno- tism which seem beyond the power of man. During Mir. Keller's stay here he will place a prominent young man of Prescott in the hypnotic trance and bury him alive for twenty four hours. Mir. Keller calls this the "Hindoo burial test" Keller presents an entire change of program each night. Ladies will be admitted free Thursday night only, if accompanied by gentleman holding one paid re- serve seat ticket if purchased before } p. m. Thursday. Prices p, 50 and 70 cents. Seats on sale Wednesday. 10 a. m., at Bisley's drug store.
