M i al

Thanksgiving day being safely past and
regular digestion being once more restored,
Il seems profitable to think a while on the
blessings for which the readers Of this
column should be thankful.
Well, to begin with, we have cause for
gratitude that the mighty house Of Ak-Sar-
Ben 0ong may he reignD has decreed that
the legitimate in music shall prevail, that
the young men and maidens Of his realm
will be encouraged in the pursuit Of their
musical studies, by the fact that he has
sent his emissaries to the neighboring king
doms to borrow the chief singers and play
ers on stringed instruments, on harps and
sackbuts. on trumpets and horns, on oboes
and bassoons and flutes, cymbals and drums,
to the end that all the people Of his Tealm
may have a feast Of music every year in
the merry May-time, for the refreshing of
their spirits and for the development of
the divine art in his kingdom, so that his
loyal subjects may themselves become chief
singers and players who shall go forth into
the world and challenge admiration of the
kingdom ruled over SO graciously by the
Ak-Sar-Ben dynasty.
The thought Of festivals have brought to
my mind a book which Impresario Charles
Stephens recently sent me. 1t is a souve-
mir program Of a May festival Tor rather a
June f~estival) in 1896. 1t bears the head
ing: Music for the People," The programs
included parts of THE Messiah CHandel),
Mendelssohn's Hymn Of Praise" selec-
lions from "Johengrln," Aida" II Puri-
TAM" and "Zenobia," and a miscellaneous
matinee concert. Among the names Of as
sisting artists, l find such big ones as
these: Nine. Fursch-Madi, Agnes Hunt
ington, Charles Knarr, William Broderick
and s. G. Pratt, conductor.
Then there was the Lotus Glee Club" Of
male voices, consisting Of L. NJ. Bartlett,
Nat Brigham, Walter wilkins and s. b.
Reed. 1 imagine it will interest the odd
timers" as we'll as the singers Of today
to peruse the list Of those who sang in the
festival chorus, and SO l append it here
with:

To revert to the Thanksgiving thought,
we are also grateful that the walls Of the
Auditorium, though not very high, are new
ertheless valiantly standing up for Omaha!
1t is true that no consideration of the
musical needs and demands of the people
Of Omaha has ever thrilled the bosoms OF
the directors. although a series of concerts
was promoted and supported as the first
nucleus of an Auditorium fund.
Yet we have to be thankful hat u we
cannot have a Studio" building, we can
have a Stud" building.
II more ideas, suggestions and changes
be adopted and reversed and revised and
discarded private enterprise may build a
real auditorium, studio and concert build
ing. and 1t may not be omaha private enS
terprise, either.
Omaha needs such a building as Steinway
hallT Kimball hall, Fin Arts building, etc.,
etc, in Chicago. only on a smaller scale.
Omaha must have it and will have II, for
IL is a paying investment.
Think Of Il! No place to give a concert.
not one adapted In any way to such a pur-
pose. l know one omaha man who has
asked me about the possibility Of remodel
ing a certain building in an excellent Ioca-
tion, for such a purpose. Others are look
ing over the ground.
Let us be thankful for that!

are superbly chosen and edited. The col

TO music literature along this line that I

II is not Known Whether the Council
Will Pass Ordinance or not
Mayor Yeiser Has Not Decided on His
Aldermen--Many Candidates
Probable.
ANOTHER ONE FOR TREASURER

II is stated in the attorneys opin-
ion read before the Democratic city
committee that election Of city Off
GERS will have to be held this Novem-
Der, that the council must provide for
such an election by ordinance. II this
is true, the election will probably be
irregular il the council does not pro-
vide for 1t by ordinance, and there is
q great deal Of interest in what il will
do about it, and whether the mayor
will veto such an ordinance or not, as
he is known to be of the opinion that
an election should not be held.
Mayor Yeiser stated today that he
did not know what the general coun-
Gil is going to do about it.
He also said he had not selected the
two new aldermen made necessary by
the resignation Of Messrs. Boone and
Langstaff at the last meeting.
Chairman Charles Emery, Of the
Democratic county committee, says
he is confident from late information
at hand, that no attention will be
paid to the alleged Democratic county
committee meeting held last week,
which tried to depose him. He says
IL ne is recognized that he will have
both City Chairman r. g. Caldwell
and Secretary Lydon fired off the
committee, and two Democrats put
on.
The race for city offices is warming
up, but few announcements have been
made except for city jailer. Among
those mentioned as candidates for the
place are Messrs. Tom Evitts, Rob-
ert Menifee, AL Townsend, Enoch
Lynn, Frank Smedley, Albert Senses,
Joe Flasch and several others.
Mr.. J. O. Pieper, the tobacconist,
is mentioned as q candidate for treas
urer against Captain W. Krause.
Very few are announcing for alder
men. II is understood that no one ID
very anxious to serve.

Suspicious Looking Man who Ans
wered the Description.Here,
Supposed Murderer Game From a
Station Out of Chicago and Was
Observed By Paducah Man.
A GOLD TOOTH WAS GONE

Was william Bartholin, the much
sought Chicago murderer, in Padu-
cah This is a question that has sug-
gested itself to the Paducah police, al
though they hardly think it probable
that he was.
Bartholin is the young man who
killed his mother and buried her body
in the cellar aud murdered his sweet
heart, Minnie Mitchell, and left her
body on the commons. The Chicago
police have been looking for him for
the past several weeks, and large re-
wards are offered for him.
A day or two ago as we'll known
Paducsh man was on his way home
from Chicago, he saw two men get on
the train at a small station some little
distance from Chicago. One Of the
men answered the description Of Bar
tholin exactly. They went in the
smoker and held an animated CONVEX
sation, and their furtitve glances at
those about them indicated that for
some reason they were suspicious.
The Paducah man, who takes q
great deal of interest in such things,
had been reading great deal in the
papers about Bsrtholin, and had q
good description. He says the man
had every mark described on Bartho'
lin, but kept his mouth closed, and
his teeth could not be seen.
Finally the Psducah man, to get 9
look at the teeth, one Of which is SAID
to be gold, rolled q cigarette and
asked the stranger for match, anc
was rather abruptly informed that hi
had none. When he did so, he opened
his mouth and the supposed gold
tooth was missing entirely.
The men soon separated, one oc
cupying one car and one the other,
They went all the way to Brookport,
ILL.,, and there, while the train wai
being loaded onto the transfer boat,
held another close conversation and
then got on the boat, one being on
one end and the other on the Other
when last seen. They came to Padu.
cab and there were lost track OF.
It may have all been imagination
on part Of the Psducah gentleman, but
he is satisfied that one of the mer
was Bartholin.
