the women should pay the 800 voted over
a year ago toward retiring the temple bonds

COMING OF THE BIG SHOW
Ringing Brothers Circus In All Its
SpIendOr Will he I'm Omaha
on Monday.

Monday is Ringing Bros circus day in
Omaha. One can get tired OF the theaters,
books will bore, pictures pail and it does
not take long to outgrow the joys Of a
moonlight picnic, but the circus, the thrill
ing, whooping 10Y Of the circus, never dies.
The parade, which is an extraordinary
feature OF the Ringing circus, will leave
the grounds Monday morning at 10 o'clock.
The Ringing pageant has been much ad-
mired here in the past and 1t is more de-
serving now than ever. There is ALWAYS a
tidy, spick-and-span look about it that one
often misses In professions of this char
acter. The horses and other animals look
we'll groomed and cared for and all the
people concerned appear prosperous. self
respecting and happy. Most OF the animal
cages are left open during the parade so
that the public may see these fine speci-
mems without cost. Handsomely gowned
women riding thoroughbred horses. jockeys
in buckskin, soldier types OF great nations
of the world, clown fun makers, Japanese
j~ugglers, plantation singers, Oriental min
strels, a children's mensgerie, tableaux
cars, illustrating Fairyland stories; a
mounted band. thirty elephants. twenty
camels, educated donkeys, goats and dogs.
a chime OF church bells and the inevitable
calliope are among the diversified and null
tiplied features Of the great parade organ
lied by the Ringing brothers.
The ring performances have caused en-
thusiastic praise elsewhere, There are
more than 100 acts, sometimes as many as
ten going on at the same time. When the
most Important features are presented there
are no other acts going on at the same
time, so that ones attention is not diverted
from the sensational merits Of these num-
bers. Among the several novelties are a
horse ballet, the conception OF the we'll
known trainer, John O'Brlen. and Captain
webb's educated seals. The equine ballet
is a beautiful performance. in which Ken
lucky t~horoughbreds nirt, dance and march
with a grace and sensitive interest that
suggests picturesque studies Of the stage.
II is one OF the prettiest sights ever seen
in the circus ring and is a gratifying relief
from the conventional riding acts, Cap
tain Webb's seals do about everything, as
one writer said, but read Shakespeare and
thread a needle" They play ball, play
musical instruments, juggle, balance bill
lizard cues upon the tips Of their noses,
twirl hrebrands about their heads and
many other things which serve to show
that this animal at least has something
more than instinct.

ELoPERS TAKE PLENTY ALONG
thirteenth street Firm Loses Clerks
and Lots OF other Things
Same Might.

The sequel to a love AFFAIR between Mich
ael Koory and Ollie OF the same name,
but no relation, was the elopement OF
these two, the loss OF two ef1cient clerks
by the firm OF Koory & Farhat, 1405 South
Thirteenth street, and the disappearance
Of 5000 and almost a wagonload Of dry
goods, dress goods and general merchandise
belonging to the firm. As all the events
happened at the same time, McKaver, a
member OF the firm and a brother Of Ollie,
is persuaded that Ollie and Mike are the
cause Of the firms financial loss.
This suspicion is strengthened, he told
the police, by his knowledge OF the fact
that Ollie and Mike were met at Mead
ows, the home Of the once-verdant Mike,
by a two-horse wagon; that the goods
taken from the store were transferred 20
the wagon and that Ollie and Mike are now
selling the goods to bargain seekers
throughout the rural districts. He FUR
nished the police with descriptions OF the
two and officers of the neighboring towns
have been requested to arrest any couple
caught billin' and cooin' in a wagon and
hold them for investigation.
Tie robbery and disappearance Of the
two was not reported to the police until
yesterday afternoon, though it happened the
day previous. McKaver Koory discovered
It when he went TO the store Wednesday
morning and found the place unopened.
McKaver was not long in arriving at a
conclusion as to why It was not opened. On
the inside the goods we're in disorder.
paper was scattered over the moor and every
thing was in the greatest confusion. Then
McE.aver discovered that the $500 which no
had left in the store was also gone. He
went on a still hunt for his two faithful
CLERKS, they Of the same name. and found
them not.
Ollie Koory has been chief clerk for the
firm for some time and was one Of the
prettiest Of Assyrian girls, numerous in
the colony. Mike was a new one as far
as work with the Arm was concerned. He
came from Meadows, Neb., recently to
assist ollie in caring for the increasing
trade.
McKaver told the police that he had
tracked the parties to Meadows, Mikes
former home. and there learned that they
had loaded the goods into a two-horse
wagon and had left for fields greener than
OmUha or Meadows.

joint committee were concerned all had
every confidence in Miss Magee's ability to
conduct the work and handle the money
but that under the circumstances the ar

II was clearly an effort on the part OF
the joint committee TO avoid further frlc-
tion between Mrs. Shinrock and Miss Ma

the direction OF a superintendent, who is TO
be appointed later. Mrs. Covell is to have

day was the question Of founding a home
for the INDECENT Of every labor organization
in the country. The brotherhood Of Rail
way trainmen have already subscribed $780,
900 and the Order Of Railway Conductors

thought the hremen will make a liberal
contribution before they close their con-
~vention.

tion, a large number Of resolutions wers
introduced, principally intended for the
strengthening Of the constitution and tha
bylaws. The resolutions were referred to
a committee.
