FLoTo DOG AND PONY SHOW
Escapes from Floods I'm Kansas
and Comes 20 Omaha
Today.

Today the children's hearts will be made
glad and the older folks rejoice 10 know the
Floto show has arrived. II was reported
yesterday that the show was surrounded
by the high water and would not be able
to fn the three days engagement adver-
tised in Omaha. The show went through
the Topeka flood. ran around the Kansas
City high waters and at the enormous eX-
pense of chartering special trains on three
separate roads in order not to disappoint
the Omaha people, the FIRST section of the
Floto show train arrived last night at
Council Bluffs and the second section Is
close behind. They will spread their tents
at the corner of Seventeenth and Harvey
streets opposite the Boyd theater, giving
two performances daily today, Friday and
Saturday.
This year the Floto show comes with all
new acts, many high class circus acts and
the famous herd OF Arabian horses, the
prettlest and best trained horses in the
world; child actors, funny clowns. The
Floto shows carry and own more fine
Welsh. Shetland and Iceland ponies and
other horses than all shows combined. They
claim the largest and richest popular priced
show travelling, and the press notices from
neighboring cities substantiate It. The
price Of admission is within reach Of every
body. You can take the whole family at
little expense. watch for the parade and
the funny old clowns. Popcorn and red
lemonade will be in order.
The Floto show kindly extended free ad'
missions to all orphan homes and the poor
| children OF Omaha. The best accommoda-
| tions will be furnished them and they VIII
be made happy by being allowed to ride
the little Shetland ponies. The manage
ment of the Fioto show gives this generous
offer in every town it visits, not as an ad-
vertisement. but simply to give the mother
less and fatherless children the same ad-
vantage as the children have who have
mammas and papas to give them money to
attend this instructive entertainment.

sault on two employees of the Talbot Ice
company-GeocSe Cleveland and Joe Wag-
ner, living at 422 Jones street According
to the story of these two they were COM
ing along the street and were met by six
Hungarians who accused the ice men of
insulting them. The party would not take
denial and Cleveland and Wagner started
to run for the ice house at Fourth and
Jones streets. The latter escaped, but
Cleveland was caught, struck in the back
by stone and kicked in the face He got
into the house, he says, and the Hungarians
threw a stone through a window at him.
Three Of the party escaped but Frank
Vargo of 500 Leavenworth street and John
Nag and Jasper Harngozo of sos on the
same street. were arrested The first of
these had rock in his pocket and the
others revolvers. They were charged with
assault and carrying concealed weapons.
The police are inclined to think that the
prisoners side of the case might appear
In better light If they could have time

HYMENEAL-.
Burns-McShane.

Conspicuous among the affairs OF the
spring and one to which society has looked
forward for months, was the wedding of
Miss Ellen McShane and Mr. William I.
Burns, which was solemnized in the pres
ence of 100 guests at o'clock last evening
at the home of the brides mother, Mrs.

Since the announcement was made the
wedding has been anticipated as one Of the
notable, and indeed II was one of the
smartest home weddings of the year The
details were most simple The rooms Of
the first floor were all thrown together
and extended by raising the windows to in
clude the veranda, which had been in
closed with canvas and furnished with
rugs and couches. There. as in the house,
pink and white peonies constituted the
chief decoration, with numerous potted
palms and ferns scattered about, while the
chandeliers were wound with smilax, from
the center of which huge white illusion
bows, contributing an airy touch to the
mass of green. Across one corner of the
rear parlor tall row Of potted palms and
ferns formed an effective background for
the bridal party during the service. Sta
toned outside a window at the foot of the
stairway in the hall, a stringed orchestra
played the 'I,ohcngrin" wedding march as
the bridal party came down.
From the newell posts, wound with smi-
lax and white Illusion, Mr.. Louis Nash
and Mr.. Lee McShane stretched the rib
| bons across the hall and the length Of the
| two parlors, forming an aisle through
which the participants passed: Mr.. Burns,
with Mr.. Dwight Swobe of Chicago; Miss

AFFAIRS At SOUTH OMAHA
Repairing Of Twenty-FOurth Street PerpleI-
ing Problem for the Council
THoRoUGHFARE IN BAD CONDITION
Lack of Funds and Delinquency oi
Property Owners on Payment for
Old Asphalt Deters Neces-
sary Work of Repair.

The repair Of Twenty-fourth street, whose
condition is pronounced extremely bad, is
q question that is perplexing the city
council just now. City Engineer Beal
Councilmen Adkins and Welsh, with two
members of the Commercial club, investi-
gated the street and found that the old
pavement was dead and worthless in
places, but how to get at remedying the
defect is the question. No money is avail
able for the purpose and the property own
ers have scarcely completed payments TO.
the asphalt which is condemned. A coun-
Gilman suggests that broken rock be used
TO fill in the holes in the street AS the
city is without an official rock pile even
this suggestion fails to offer the most sat
isfactory solution
The work done by the asphalt company
has cost the city 1880 so far this year.
There was $4,000 appropriated for this work
and it is surmised that the balance will be
used to buy broken stone and then have the
street department distribute 1t as needed.
From A to Q street there are 10000 square
yards of pavement This was laid in 1891
and 1898 at cost Of S11O,9e7
To repave the street it will cost from Sl9O
to $3.50 per cubic yard. The cost of repav-
ing will depend largely upon the condition
of the base. In some places the concrete
base is entirely worn away, while in GER
tain blocks it Ia still sound and can be
used again. From N street south to Q
street the pavement is in good condition
and only about $50 will be needed to repair
this portion so that it will last for year
at least With the bond proposition coming
up the council does not feel like asking for
money to repave the street at the expense
of the taxpayers at large and 1t is an as
! sured fact that the abutting property own
| ers will not sign petitions for the repaving
| at this time.
