The matinee at the Orpheum this after
noon should prove especially attractive for
the women and children, who outnumber
the attendance at these mid-week events.
The bill, which as a whole is a good one, is
marked by the absence of boisterous and
cheap material and is mostly of a refined
order. The children will take much delight
in Claire, one of the tots composing the
columbian Trio" who are presenting a
musical melange called The Wax Doll"
She is a dainty and pretty child with a
lisping and appealing voice, with baby
effect. She plays the piano, sings
Tell Me, Pretty Maiden" and dances
in her cute way. Handsome Dorothy
Walters, the whistler, wears some stunning
gowns that will enlist attention from the
women as will also the singing and plano
playing OF Cole and Johnson, who, among
other things, sing THE Maiden With the
Dreamy Eyes" with pronounced success. 1t
was one of the hits OF Anna Held's per-
formance.

This afternoon and tonight Miss Kate
Claxton, whose name is so inseparably
linked with that Of THE Two Orphans, "
will be the attraction at the Boyd. OF
course she is still playing her original
part Of Louise, the blind Orphan girl in
9TH Two Orphans, as the play-going pub
lie insists on seeing her in this favorite
part of hers. There is no more popular
play than THE Two Orphans" which for
a generation has pleased the grea: mass
of tho theater- goers of the country. 1t is
doubtful If 9TH Two Orphans has ever
been better presented at any time in its

Baldwin May he There.

John N. Baldwin, who refused to meet
representatives Of the tax committee in
open debate. promised to meet them before
a legislative committee. and 1t is expected
that there win be a lively session II he is
present today at noon.
1t was the last meeting Of the ex-
change held at the Commercial club rooms
and the executive committee was instructed
to secure another place of meeting, an
nouncement OF which will be made before
Wednesday.
The tax committee showed copies OF a
new circular in progress OF printing in
which the assertions Of the railroads to the
effect that the assessment OF their property
inside the city limits for city purposes will
affect the amount Of taxes received by the
counties and villages in the state has been
briefly considered and the statement is
mede that the tax committee expects no
change to be made in the present system
Of assessment for county and state pur-
poses, but desires to tax all property within
the municipality on one basis, so all may
bear its proper share Of the expenses.
Il was decided 10 oppose to the utmost
the so-called kansas plan" which has
been proposed to the special revenue COM
mittee, and It was said that someone has
attempted to lead people into believing
that the plan had been adopted In Kansas,
when in fact It had been repudiated by the
legislature OF that state when an attempt
was made 10 pass IL.

TAXPAYERS co TO LINCOLN
Big Delegation Will Make Demonstration
Before Revenue Committee.
WILL TALK ABOUT RAILROAD TAXATION
Object is to Secure Repeal of Clause
in City Charters which Ex-
empts Railroads from Mu-
nicipaI Assessment.

A carload Of ~resolute and enthusiastic
residents Of Omaha, under the direction
OF the Real Estate exchange, will go to
Lincoln this morning at $40 to pre-
sent to the regular revenue committee of
the Nebraska house of representatives the
position of the taxpayers of Omaha on the
question of railroad taxation. The mat
ter was settled yesterday afternoon, when
twenty members of the exchange enrolled
their names in the list Of those who Will
go. In addition to these there will be
members OF the city council, members of
the Board of Education and citizens gem
orally, as the exchange extends an invita-
tion to all interested to join In the
demonstration in favor Of the repeal OF
that part of the city charter of Omaha,
South Omaha and Lincoln which gives
the State Board OF Equalization power to
assess the railroads for municipal pur-
poses.
J. H. Mcintosh made an address to the
exchange in which he reviewed the
position taken by that organization, saying
that there is no relation between the as
sessment of railroads for county and state
purposes and the assessments of the prop
erty OF those roads inside of city limits
for municipal purposes; that the repre-
sentatives Of the railroads will not main
tain that the law is fair. but will endeavor
to befog the question by raising false is
sues. He will be the principal speaker
on behalf Of the exchange before the COM
mittee today.
The revenue committee will meet at the
Union Commercial club in Lincoln and in
addition to the Omaha delegation there will
be present nifty or more Lincoln people
who are interested in the question. This
meeting will be held at 1870 o'clock. This
evening the special revenue COM
mittee will hold session and it is probable
that some of the Omaha delegation will re-
main in the city to be present at that
meeting.

ORGANIZED LABOR AFFAIRS
label League aud Home Industry
pssocintion BEING Promoted
by Unions.

A label league and home industry asso-
citation Is the latest organization to be
promoted by the Central Labor union. The
matter has been placed in the hands Of
John Kirby. recently elected vice president
OF the union, and with a strong committee
he has outlined a plan Of organization
which is intended to include not only rep
rCsentativcs q organized labor. but all
persons who are Interested in pushing the
sales Of Omaha-made goods. The inception
Of the society was In the unionizing Of the
Kirkendall shoe factory, which now uses
the union label on shoes. The officers Of
the shoemakers' union promised Mr.. Kirk
endall that as soon as he adopted the label
they would introduce the shoes to members
Of the unions, and in this work Mr.. Kirby
has visited every union In the city. Among
them he found a number which also use a
label and these unions suggested that the
movement be bEoadened. Others suggested
that persons not connected with the unions
be brought into the movement, with the
result that Mr.. Kirby decided upon a pre-
liminary organization 10 consist of three
delegates from each union using a label,
this organization to form the nucleus for
the larger society.
As soon as the preliminary steps are
formed invitations will be sent to manu-
facturers and dealers in all lines Of goods
made or sold in Omaha asking them to be
present at a meeting to be held at some
convenient place, at which time the objects
OF the association will be stated and the
employers will be asked to cooperate. It
is not tho intention to form a society
which will cost the members anything, but
TO get them together from time to time to
listen to addresses from persons who have
given the matter thought and to adopt
plans for extending the use Of union label
and N~ebraska-made goods.
The Transfers union and the team own
ers' organization have split upon the ques-
tion Of membership and the trouble has
reached "a point where the international
officers have been called upon to inter-
fere. AS a result August Harders Of San
Francisco, second vice president Of the
Transfers union, will come to Omaha this
week to settle the trouble If possible. The
trouble arises over the man who owns a
single team which he drives himself. He
is eligible to membership in the Transfers
union, while the team owner who hires a
driver is not. The latter have formed an
organization Of their own and a number Of
the single team owners have Joined that
organization. The teamsters object to
this. The trouble is not confined to this
city, but is being contested everywhere the
Transfers union has been organized and it
is hoped by both sides that some arrange
ment can be made whereby team owners
working as Transfers may be eligible to
membership in the Transfers union re-
CARELESS of the number of teams they OPP
crate. The union in Omaha has a member
ship OF about 1,2O0, of which probably $50
are eligible to membership in the team
owners society,

One Hope Remains.

THE only hope now is to discover the
wagon and where the robbers left 1t. At
that point the dogs may be able to take up
the scent again and run them down II they
have not taken a train and gotten out of
the neighborhood. They may have doubled
back, some way, when near Omaha, and be
nearer Waterloo right now than Omaha.
The money that was found was twenty
mutilated 81 bills in the road a mile before
the Menkind place was reached.
ut seems to us that the men must have
had some acquaintance with conditions
here, for they did a neat Job at the bank
and then seemed to know where to go to get
a good team, hitching 1t up in the dark.
Our bank has offered no reward and
probably will not, but our insurance COM
pany, the Ocean Accident Guarantee COM
pany, has posted a reward of 800 for the
capture Of any one OF the robberseor 500
each for all of them. We are still I'M
decided as to whether there were three or
four Of them. Adjuster Morrison of the
Ocean company is here today preparing to
make settlement and the bank has not
been closed a single business hour. We
have no vault, but have installed a new
manganese iron safe"

TRAILING THE BANK ROBBERS
Detective Franklin's Hounds Lose the Scent
at Menkind's Farm.
THIEVES APPROPRIATE TEAM AND WAGON
Pursuing Party Traces FuEitves
Along the Military Road to
Within seven or Eight Miles
of This city.

Yesterday afternoon neither the Omaha
authorities nor Cashier H.. b. Waldron at
Waterloo knew the whereabouts OF the
three or four men who robbed the Citizens
state bank Of Waterloo OF $4,000 early
Tuesday morning. Neither did any Of these
parties know where Detective Franklin and
his bloodhounds and Assistant Cashier w.
p. Waldron and George Menkind, who con-
stitute the pursuing posse. now are.
The sherih's force reported, I'VE know
absolutely nothing" Chief Donahue ad-
vanced the theory that the robbers had
gone TO Sioux City, but had no definite
clues to back him up.
Cashier Waldron, interviewed by tele-
phone, said: THE last we heard here In
Waterloo was that the pursuers had traced
the robbers along the military road to
within about seven or eight miles OF Omaha
and there lost the traces OF the wagon. 1t
was supposed here that the pursuers spent
las. night in Omaha, resting"
Neither the sherif's force nor the chief
Of police reports having seen any Of the
party.

Robbers Take Farmers Team.

Continuing. Cashier Waldron said:
when the robbers left Waterloo they took
a main travelled road, going two miles east
and two miles north to the farm Of George
Menkind, where they appropriated his
team. Menkind heard them driving out and
saddled a horse to give pursuit. He didn't
close up on them, however, for fear they
would shoot him and he was unarmed. but
he kept within sound Of the rumbling
wagon. They went north three miles or
more to the Military road and then appear
to have kept to that, heading for Omaha.
Franklin and his hounds took the trail
at Waterloo and the dogs followed 1t well
until they reached the Menkind farm, where
the robbers had taken the wagon. 1t had
been hoped here that they would then trail
the wagon, but they refused to change
scents, so were loaded into a rig and fol-
lowed the general trail. Meanwhile Mem
kinds farm plug had given out and the
rig overlook him between Bennington and
Irvington. The three men then drove to-
gether, guided by the wagon tracks, but
seven or eight miles out of Omaha, 1t is re-
ported, the trail was lost completely.
