WINDING CLOCKS IN SCHOOLS
Board of Education Wants Some one
to Take Contract for
Two Years.

The school board wants some one to wind
Its clocks. 1t has only about 300 time
pieces of various makes and stages of an
tiquity distributed and in thirty-fve
school buildings and the labor and mental
irritation caused in keeping the clocks
wound and in running order has at last
reached a crisis. The word ION" was used
in the preceding sentence out of Difference
to the great chronometer in the tower of
the high school. To wind this giant main
spring requires a strong man or two at the
lever. The Job is done once a week. which
is apparently too often for the janitors, as
a proposed contract to cover the clock
question includes the winding of the tower
timeSiece.
The blank contract forms have been pre-
pared, but the advertisement has not vet
been acted upon or published. 1t calls for
party who will furnish, clean and repair
the half hundred clocks in use besides the
winding at the high school referred to-
The clocks must be kept in good shape all
the time and keep proper time A two
year guarantee is demanded on all work
done and new clocks furnished.

nUSC AND MUSICIANS.

The musical department OF the womans
club gave its annual artists recital last
night in the auditorium OF the First Con-
gregational church. Mrs. Herzog, pianist
Mrs. Hagenow, violin, Miss Eiche, 'cellist.
Considering the worth OF the program pre-
sented the audience was pretty small.
Perhaps the cold weather which has pre-
vailed OF late made some difference. Many
tickets were sold to people who did not
venture out.
The Mendelssohn I'D Minor Trio" opus
A. was one of the treats of the evening.
1t is a wonderfully beautiful composition
and was we'll played. Mrs. Herzog. the
pianist, is very we'll known throughout the
state. She has a great deal OF style in
her playing and enters into her work with
vim and enthusiasm. Her group Of numbers
was thoroughly enjoyable. She was obliged
to come back again after the Chopin
Variations"
Mrs. Hagenow's most successful number
was the Hubay 'HuilamEa Balatos,"
which she played with good tone and ex-
preston.
Mr.. Newlean seemed little nervous,
but he brought out some beautiful tones.
His voice has lyric quality that is rare.
With hard, unceasing work he should
make singer of unusual attractiveness.
The Ran Sonata" was perhaps the
most ambitious number on the program. 1t
is always interesting to hear woman
play the cello. Miss Eiche gets big,
luscious, reposefui tone that is pleasant
to hear. Both she and Mrs. Herzog
seemed to enjoy playing together. When
the performers take real JOY in their work
1t always radiates to the audience.
Mrs. KatE should feel well satisfied with
everything except the number OF people
who listened to the concert.

It Is because most women suffer from
some arrangement of their delicate
organism, the discomfort of which is
less trying when they are in motion
than when standing.
In some states laws compel employers
TO provide resting places for their fe-
male employees.
But no amount of law can regulate
the hard tasks of these women. They
must get the strength which this work
demands or run the risk of serious
diseases and the surgeons knife.

Popular Prices for Ysaye.

That the coming of Bugene Ysaye, the
eminent Belgian violinist, on next Thurs
day evening at the Auditorium, will be
the musical event Of the season, goes with
out saying, and his presentation here,
under the auspices of the omaha concert
promoters will appeal to musicians, con-
cert-goer and general music lover alike.
Reserved seats for 75 cents, 81 and $3.50 in
the best parts of the Auditorium and 81
for the boxes should not debar any from
the pleasure Of hearing so great an artist
on account OF the financial question. The
promoters have also made an admission Of
so cents for the last rows in the balcony.
Their aim has been to make this their
most important concert, a popular event,
and as It Is the wish of the organization
to aid in developing musical culture in the
community proper encouragement would
enable them to continue their good work
and do still better on future concerts.

ROCK ISLAND STRIKES BACK
Starts COunter-Suit IN Controversy
with Fafrbury Mill Owners over
Blue River Embankment.

In October last Joseph E. Mendenhall
and Joseph B. Mcdowell, proprietors of the
Fairbury Roller mills. brought suit against
the Chicago, Rock Island & Pacific Rail-
way company, for $1,000 damages, alleged
to have been occasioned by the Rock ISL
and road building an embankment adjacent
to the Little Blue river, in Jefferson
county. Nebraska to take the place OF
former trestle approach to the bridge of
the defendant road crossing the Little
Blue, and thereby flooding the lands and
feeding lots of the plaintiffs during va
rious periods of high water. This suit Is
now pending in the United States circuit
court. and so comes the Chicago, Rock
Island & Pacific Railway company with a
cross petition of $4l 500 damages against
Mendenhall and Mcdowell, and the Fair
bury Roller mills.
The railway company states in its cross
petition that 1t owns right-of-way through
the land in question, and that since 1908
it has built and maintained a solid en-
bankment approach to its bridge across
the Little Blue. The petition further al
leges that the plaintiffs, Mendenhall and
Mcdowell, have caused to be placed
against said embankment wooden poles,
logs, trees, brush, etc, and have covered
the same with loose earth, which during
the frequent flood periods of the Little
Blue would wash and carry away and
lodge this debris against the bridge OF
the Rock Island company and connecting
treStles, and that during May and June.
1903. the trestles and bridges of the rail-
way company were damaged to the amount
of $500. which added to the expense OF
operating the road at $4,000, and 5000 for
temporary structure. brings the damage
claim of the road up to $4l.5OO for which
they ask judgment and costs of suit.

FRANCHISE FOR THE WIRELESS

City Electrician Michaelson is worried
He is trying to find out whether the mu-

Martha Morton sounded a clear note in
Her Lord and Master" 1t is not neces-
sarily applicable alone to international mar
riages, nor does It follow that all couples
who marry, whether their conditions are
high or low, or a combination, need the
warning. 1t simply points out that both
parties to a match need support and SYM
pathy, and that each Is inclined now and
then to expect Just a little too much of the
other. Especially is this true II IT falls out
that one has been accustomed to a certain
mode Of life with which the other Is un-
familiar. The ship in which Indiana Still
water and Viscount Canning launched their
hopes came mighty near wrecking on
slight temperamental difference, and It re-
quires quite the utmost of common sense
and the assistance Of the sympathetic
author to get them in line with each other
again. 1t finally turns out that each was
right and each was wrong. II also argues
that the atmosphere OF home that wor-
ships ancestors isn't likely to be the most
conducive to healthy mental or bodily
growth for a girl who has lived in a coun-
try where ancestry isn't pursued back much
farther than the father and mother. And
the whole topic is handled so deftly that
i slfNA NU
turned into a source of delightful amuse-
ment The comedy Is never strained, but
flows from natural situations in an unaf-
fected way, and is therefore the more well
come.
Miss Helen Grantly, who is now present
ing the play at the Boyd theater, seems to
have caught the spirit Of Indiana Still
water, and is giving It a genuinely intelli-
gent Interpretation. She falls little short
In the first act, when her gfrlish artless-
ness seems too patiently an assumption
But in the succeeding acts. where she Is
called upon to run a wide range of varying
emotions, she is more at home. The affec-
tation with which she has misled her noble
husbands ultra-conservative mother is a
strong contrast to the unaffected and
natural welcome she gives her own. and the
somewhat difficult scene that follows the
irruption of Grandmother Bunker and
Mamma saltwater into the Belgravian
drawing room is neatly handled. In the
subsequent scenes Miss Grantly shows that
she possesses ample reserve force, and
makes much of her opportunities.
The company supporting Miss Grantly
is generally good, the subordinate charac-
ters in the play being we'll presented.
especially that of Grandma Bunker. The
audience last night, while not large was
quite appreciative. and rewarded the ef-
forts OF the star and her associates with
calls at the end of each act Her Lord
and Master will be presented until after
Saturday night, with a matinee on Satur-
day afternoon.
