Tivoli.

THE BurgomaSter' is being present
ed in fine style at the Tivoli, several
new artists having been specially en-
gagged to aid the regular company in a
finished production of the piece. The
musical comedy abounds with pretty
music and humorous situations, found
ed as 1t is on the 200 years sleep of
Peter Stuyvesant, ably impersonated
by Willard Simms and Doodle, his sec
retary, as ably played by Teddy. Webb.
The newcomers include Grace Palotta,
who has temporarily forsaken vaude-
vile to contribute no small part to
the success of the comedy She is
vivaciousness itself and could safely
add to her other accomplishments that
of clever male impersonator. AL
bert Wallerstedt proved himself the
possessor of a fine voice, which showed
to advantage in Il Drink from My
Heart to You" Mindell Kingston, the
new soubrette, scored a big hit and
was highly pleasing in her dances and
cakewalk. Dora de FiliDe was as good
as ever and earned a well-merited re-
call for her singing of Il Love You,
Dear. and Only You Too much can
not be said in praise of Aimee Leices-
ter who is always to be relied upon
in any part she undertakes. The re-
turn of Ferris Hartman was the sig
nal for continued applause and he is
inimitable as the broken-down actor.
William Schuster essayed a new char
acter for him-that of a heavyweight
pugilist, in which he was an artistic
as well as a physical success. Bessie
Tannehill had a congenial part and the
rest of the cast was well selected. The
scenery was pretty, notably the lawn
fete in the second act. The chorus
girls were uD to the mark and in their
bathing suits are worth going miles to

CONCESSIONS FOR TRAVELLERS
New Organization Is Forming
Among the Commercial
Tourists.

]. L. Timberman of Chicago, aside from
his duty as a travelling salesman is pro-
noting a new organization of the travelling
men of the United States. The name of the
new order is the League of American
Travellers 1t was brought into existence
June %, 1906. and, according to Mr.. Timber
man, has a large membership already. The
objects of the new organization is to gain
and hold more liberal concessions from
the railroads and transportation COM
panies.
The plan of the organization is exactly
similar to the American Wheemen. They
aim to secure mileage books on a Just and
equitable basis 1000 miles for 5000 fiat
covering all territory of the United States,
east and west-no rebates no signing and
exchanging mileage for a ticket and no
signing on the train. They aim to repeal
all limited liability laws wherever in ef-
feet; to provide a fund for legal proceed
ings and to push test cases. 1t will de-
mand that baggage lost shall be paid for
at the full value thereof. To effect this
they propose to organize with member
/ ship fee of 800 and yearly fee of 10C
as dues. If one-half OF the computed
100000 travelling men Join the Organization
| II is thought that new and powerful in
huence will be fostered and made effective

GRIP HAS CARRIED FORTUNES
Old VaIise at POstOmee Has Held
Twenty Million Dollars in
Its Time.

See that new grip or valise," said AS
sistant Postmaster Woodland at the post
Office Wednesday morning. There is moth
ing remarkable about that particular grip,
but we have just bought It to replace the
old grip used in this ONCE for ten OF more
years to carry the postoffice funds from
the ONCE to the banks. The old grip has
conveyed more than $2O,OOO,00O between the
Omaha postofice and the banks since 1t
was in use. We have placed the faithful
old grip in the vault where II will be
kept among the valued archives of this Of
fee. II may be worthy OF note, too, that
there has never been a dollar lost from
the old grip. This new one, stout, brown
leather one with heavy brass and steel
mountings, is much stronger than the old
one and ] expect It will make a better
record in the next decade than-the old one

The prospect of resumption OF the Ham
mond plant is received with numerous ex-
pressions OF qualification from all over
South Omaha and is the talk at the res
taurants hotels and everywhere the pub
