authors Of the play claim they will show
how some OF the crimes committed by these
desperadoes we're done. A lynching, an at
tempt to hold up a train, a desperate knife
duel on the edge OF a olin and the blowing
up Of a train by dynamite are some of the
thrlllers promised. Every word uttered is
punctuated by a revolver shot. II an actor
forgets his llnes he pulls out a revolver
and keeps shooting until he recalls them.

MUSIC AND MUSICIANS

For the ninth Of the Poems One Ought
to Forget" I have kept this one, which I
and published by the John Church company
to a beautiful air by Lassen. / have seen
elsewhere a very good translation OF this
same song;
Thine eyes so blue and tender,
As blue as the sky In May.
AS bright. as pure and serene,
AS a clear summer day.
Thine eyes to me so dear.
With a sweet, bewitching glance.
While unconscious. thou smilest,
My wounded heart entrance.
In the silky. glossy tresses
OF thy mxuriant hair,
In those chains Of golden links,
Flowing down thy neck so fair,
C%anopying thy brow 80 pure,
Thou, oh sweet and artless Iovel
Holdest, alas! my soul
Like a willing captive dove.
Taking thy lips for roses
Under the azure sky,
The bee. the lover Of honey,
Sips as 1t passes by.
on thou, most charming of maidensl
Tasting their sweetest poison
] ave imbibed the madness
That hath disturbed my reason.
Anyone who knows the music OF this song
will easily see the happy way in which the
words and the melody can be blended to-
gether-noti OF course, 1t is a pleasant
thing to be told in the last verse why the
translator did the deed Of traaslatinE and
an interesting bit Of Interpretation will be
found in those lines.
Taking thy lips for roses,
Under the azure sky.
Is one to infer therefrom that the maiden's
lips were red and her nose blue, they being
Immediately under the azure?
"LilH Lehman, in her delightful ana VAL
liable new book How to Sing Just is
sued by the Macmillan company, refers
to the harm done to singers and their SEN
sitive Threats by the rehearsals which are
held in abominably bad air. And, to take
one more instance In place Of a thousand,
Hans Won Bulow once explained his failure
to play a Beethoven Sonata satisfactorily
as being due to the fact that ne was not a
palm tree. Only a palm tree could, he de-
clared, breathe In an atmosphere like that
Of the Berlin Sing academic when It is
crowded. 1t was so hot that drops of
perspiration blinded him, the keys were
wet and slippery, and the lack of ozone
came near making him faint away"
l have noticed the same conditions ex-
listing locally. There have been times when,
IN the local theaters, the heat was un-
endurable and the real enjoyment OF the
performance married. So there is an in
teresting thought herein contained. Per-
haps the condition of chilliness and fri
gidity which we have often ascribed to
omaha audiences has been the result Of
overhead instead of overcool in the "over-
soul"
Another writer has said: "If a picture
Of this air could be thrown on a curtain
the audience would stampede for the doors
as II SOM one had raised the cry Of IRE.
AS 1t is, thousands who would shudder
at the thought Of bathing In a mud-pud-
die, battle their sensitive lungs every
evening in the filthy atmosphere OF our
amusement halls"
But then. again, why 60 away for mud
baths when you can have q bath OF real
mud and enjoy music at the same time?
In fact, almost all theaters, music-halls
and churches, when croTded, are over
heated and badly ventilated. And the same
thing 10 always noticed with regard 10 our
buildings by strangers visiting in this
country.

The last Lenten musicale was Monday
night. The May Festival choir made it's
debut, and while 1t was handicapped by
being placed at a great distance from the
plano, and the women at some distance
from the men, the applause received, espe-
cially at the close Of the last number, indi-
Gated most clearly that the choral work
was a hit Miss Jenny Osborne was the
soprano, and Holmes Cowper the tenor. as
sisting. Both Of these people came from
Chicago to make this appearance. Miss 0H-
borne was in superb voice, and she sang
with all the interesting detail OF the true
artist. Her work is more matured than
when she was heard here last, in 1899, and
her voice has gained, IL anything, in brill
liancy and richness. Mr.. Cowper has an
ideal, tenor voice, and he uses II like one
who knows just what he is going to do with
every ton he makes. Then he IL growing
more spontaneous in his work, and that IL
always a sign of progress in the higher
elements OF the art. Mrs. Crofoot played
some very attractive accomplishments.

HUSBAND HAS VANISHED.
Mrs. Geo. w. Firth in Trouble-Mar
Traced to Portland.

Spokane, Nov. 21.-What has be-
come of George w. Firth is a ques-
ton that is worrying his wife, who
resides in Chicago.
About one month ago Mr.. Firth ar
rived in this city and took up quar-
ters at the Odgers hotel. He immedi-
ately set about to make the acquain-
tance' Of the leading poultrymen of
Spokane and vicinity stating him
self to be a poultryman of wide eXpe-
rience. and that it was his intention
to engage in the business in this
place.
While here Mr.. Firth became init
mate with young Frank White, also
of Chicago, The two roomed together
the last 10 days Of their stay here.
and according to their statements,
sought employment of different
kinds. Firth gave the impression of
| being 4 steady going fellow, but
White was a bit wild.
On Thursday, Oct. %, Firth and
White left Spokane, bound for Port
| land. At the time, according to their
/ statements. they possessed no more
| than so cents between them, and
avowed it to be their intention to
| "hobo" it to Portland. An unpaid bill
! Of So was left their landlady as a to-
! ken of remembrance, presumably.
Two letters frfom Frith's wife One
directed to the landlady who was left
shy So, and the other to a former
! Chicago acquaintance of Mrs. Firth
who now lives in Spokane, states
that since his leaving Spokane he
has given her no clue as to his where
ahouts In view of the fact that this
silence is very unusual on the part
of her husband, and not in keeping
with former family relations, Mrs
Firth seems alarmed for her hus
bands welfare.
| Evidence last evening brought tt
light in the matter shows conclus
lively that the partners reached Port
land in safety, and proceeded from
there to San Francisco. A box of per
sonal effects left by the two at the
Northern Pacific freight office wa;
sent from Portland week aftel
Firth and White had left Spokane
The directions for shipping We're
that the box be sent on through
Portland to San Francisco. This
makes it evident that the partners
reached safely the points to which
they started from Spokane a month
ago. but why Firth has left his wife
in anxiety in Chicago is considered
to be a mystery.

THE RESTLESS REDS.
Nez Perces Anxious to Return to
Their Old Haunts.


Chief Joseph of the Nez Perez In
dams plans to go to Washington, D.
c., early in January and make anoth-
err attempt to recover the old hunt
ing grounds in Wallowa valley. He
proposes to appeal to President
Roosevelt and the officials in charge
of Indian affairs for what he consid-
ers justice in regard to the lands.
He is dissatisfied with his location
on the Colville reservation and his
hope before he dies is to be able to
move back to the old grounds. The
old Indian returned October 10 from
an unsuccessful attempt to accom-
plish the same purpose.
1--WE will try again just after the
first of the year. Red Thunder is
! quoted as saying to a reporter in Sc
| attic. 1--WE believe we have made
| friends in Washington and will con-
| tinue the attempt to recover the
Nez Perez lands until We succeed.
Chief Joseph is very hopeful of sue
cess and every trip to Washington
shows the sympathy of the officials
is stronger with our people. The
| tribe is rapidly thinning out, and I
hope justice NAV be done us before
the remnant of our people is too small
to appreciate the change. In any
event the fight viii be continued"
Red Thunder was named by Chief
Joseph his successor after the
death of all the old chieftain's chill
dren. He was adopted by the chief
and lives with him in his present
home and accompanies the old veter-
an on his travels.
Chief Joseph does not speak much
English but Red Thunder does, and
he acts as interpreter for his uncle

OREGON LEGISLATURE.
Meets in Special Session Dec. 81, to
Remedy Tax Laws.

iFSih~Ny GA -o"Ss
Salem Ore, Nov. Ex-Governor
the members Of the legislative assem-
bly, of the state of Oregon, command
inc them to meet at the capitol build
ING in this city on Monday December
q, 1908, for the purpose of conven-
ing an extraordinary SESSION Of the
legislature to enact laws to provide
for levy of taxes on assessment
rolls for the year 1908.
This call was made necessary from
the fact that defect exists in the
act passed by the legislative assem-
bly, of 1908. providing the manner of
assessment and the levy and collec-
ton of taxes, known as the Phelps
law.
The Phelps law repealed the old
law. but did not provide for a tax
levy for 1908, thus leaving the stet tie
and counties without revenue from
taxation for an entire year. Over 60
members of the LEGISLATURE, a major
ity of both houses. have assured Gov
ernor Chamberlain that they will en-
act none but legislation which they
deemed absolutely necessary to the
welfare Of the state. and adjourn ct
the earliest possible date
Had the extra session not been
called the state and all. counties, town
and school district would have been
thrown upon their own resources, and
interest on warrant Indebtedness re-
sulting therefrom would have
amounted to thousands of dollars in
excess of the cost of the special ses.
sion.
The governor has also issued writs
