better qualified than any other person in the world to

It appears that there are several reasons why the

If arships which be steered and kept well under

ITALIAN BAND is COMING
Auditorium COMMITTEES Meets with
Success in selling Book
TfCEefs.

The Omaha musical festival. with the
Royal italian band as the attraction, will
open August 90.
The work Of the Auditorium committee
having in charge the arrangements for the
festival has begun In earnest. The ground
on Capitol avenue between Fourteenth and
Fifteenth streets has been again secured
from W S. Poppleton. A tent will be pro-
vided for this year that will turn water,
so that last seasons shower baths will not
be repeated. The Young women's Chris
tian association will probably have the
concessions again this year.
Subscriptions for the book tickets are
being received in a most gratifying man
ner. These books contain twenty admis-
sion tickets each and are sold for IS per
book, or 25 cents per ticket. The advance
sale will cease before the day Of the first
concert and thereafter the admission will
be 35 cents. 1t is anticipated that the ad-
vance sales will exceed those Of previous
years, not only on account OF the musical
organization that is to be heard, but also
to hurry the construction Of the Audi
torium, as any profits derived from the
festival will be applied to the building
fund. The next festival season will see
the band housed in the most beautiful
structure Of the kind In the country and
where 1000 or 5000 people will not fill
the seats by half, thereby everyone may at
tend in comfort and without crowding.
People who intend purchasing tickets IN
advance are requested by the committee to
make their wants known as soon as possi-
BILE and books will be reserved for them.
This will enable the management to provide
the additional attractions, the extent of
which must be governed by the advance
sale. The books of tickets are ready to be
delivered any time before the concerts be-
gin, at the convenience of subscribers.
Subscriptions for the books should be sent
to F. E. Nettleton, superintendent, fifth
floor Board OF Trade building, or to any
one Of the committee, which is composed
of H.. s.. Weller, chairman. Richardson

TRAIN THROWN FROM TRACK
Accident on Illinois Central Believed
to BE Result of Attempt
to Wreck.

KANKAKEE, ILL.,, June S.-What is be-
lieved to have been an attempt to wreck
the Chicago accommodation passenger train
leaving here at GAO p. m, southbound on
the Illinois Central took place at Ashkum,
fifteen miles south Of Kankakee tonight.
The train at full speed, jumped the track
after striking an open switch. The engine
and baggage car were ditched and the pas
sengers were badly shaken UP. but none
were seriously injured. The engineer and
fireman jumped. The fireman was seriously
scalded and the engineer, John Smith, was
cut about the head.
The theory that wrecking was attempted
is supported by the fact hat the switch
showed a white light, though open. Two
weeks ago an attempt was made to wreck
the samaritan by placing scrap iron on the
track.

In almost every neighborhood someone
