Peggy From Paris the third George
AIDE production to play in Omaha within
a week opened at the Krug theater yester-
day to two big audiences. The musical
comedy scored well and continues to hold
its own as a maker of laughter and en-
cores. Two things about the present COM

first is Clara Martin, who has the part Of
Lutte Plummer, and the second is the
chorus, which is munifcent in good looks
and vivacty and wears nice, bright clothes.
Miss Martins voice Is like a dew-drop in

At THE PLAY HOUSES.
,"HIs HIghuess the Bey" at the Boyd.

Oils HIghness the Bey" at the Boyd.
Without too rudely shocking familiar ira
ditions of simple musical satires, the two
Chicago university students who produced
His Highness the Bey" have given to the
public a most amusing and laughable little
affair. The piece was given in Omaha for
the first time yesterday-afternoon and
evening-at the Boyd and fair-sized au
diences greeted it. The continuous roar of
laughter and rounds OF applause was COM
ment enough as to the popularity of the
play with those who saw 1t. The little play
has been introduced as typically Chicagoau
and perhaps that is 1t. The Bey bears
many Chicago earmarks. chief of which is
his classical name, Mr.. Louie Wurtzle-
heimer. His highness must not be blamed
for wearing the purple, for the honors were
thrust on him, he being caught in an I'M
guarded moment in some remote corner of
the orient where a hey had just been lost
and whose royal pipe, crown, robe and
other little perquisites of Turkish, SOW
ereignty were fairly pining for a master.
Herr Wurtzlehelmer, originally from Kan
kakee after coming from Germany, re-
luctantly yields to the pressure OF intema-
tional solicitation to ascend the throne and
he does so with uneven tread until his eyes
chance to fall upon about eighteen of the
most beautiful heritages which the missing
ruler has left to him. Then he comes to
and adjusts himself to these soothing sur
roundings with amazing aptitude. Incl
dentally Mr.. Wurtzleheimer takes his new
friends into little domestic secret which
he had been treasuring up in his mind for
his. own. He had originally married the
snake charmer in a side show, so no one is
surprised at his magnanimity in consenting
10 preside over the social and political at
fairs of Turkish province.
Phil w. Peters is the hey and he keeps
his audience laughing all the time and that
is the purpose of the play. He is backed
up well by Al Denier as the Russian am
bassador and Justin ]. Cooper as caliph Of
Harran. The bevy of girls is as attractive
as those of their pretended functions might
be supposed Cora Beach Turner as an
American heiress Mable McCane as a
southern belle ensnared I'm the hurem and

Commercial Club Matters.

For some time past interest in the South
Omaha Commercial club has been on the
wane. Dr. w. ]. McCrann, PRESIDENT OF
the club has prepared an address TO the
business men OF the city calling upon them
to again take hold and stir things up. Not
since the organ zation of thecity," says
Dr. McCrann, has the want of public
spirited men been so manifest as az the
present What we want Is boosters, not
knockers Never in the history OF South
Omaha has there been a time when pushers
in public improvements meant so much for
municipal development as now. with the
population of South Omaha we ought to
have a commercial club Of not less than
1000 members. Let every man take hold,
not only the business and professional man,
but the packers and commission dealers at
the yards. BY united action great deal
Of good can be accomplished"

AFFAIRS AT SOUTH OMAHA
Sewer Bond Proposition to Go Before City
Council Tonight
MATTER OF GREAT IMPORTANCE TO CITY
Plan Now Is TO Include whole System
in one Election and Ask
Voters to Authorize
the Bonds.
MATTER OF GREAT IMPORTANCE TO CITY

This evening when the city council meets
the sewer matter will again be taken up
The ordinance accepting the plans Of An
drew Rosewater will be passed and 1t is
expected that a general sewer ordinance
will be introduced. This ordinance must
define the sewers it is proposed to build,
specifying the streets and alleys as nearly
as possible. There is to be no attempt
made to vote on a portion of the sewers,
but the whole issue Of bonds allowed by
law, $25OO0O will be brought before the
people. BY doing this the city authorities
think that there will be less opposition
from those who consider that the packers
and stock yards should build the Mud creek
sewer. With an enlarged sewer system
which will practically effect the entire city
the chances are that opposition which was
so manifest at one time will be nearly II
not quite overcome.
It is not expected that any members OF
the council will be opposed to having the
people vote the entire amount at once.
These officials declare that with the mat
ter disposed of the money will be available
at any time and that the work of build
ing larger sewers can be pushed right
along. Besides the big sewer to the river
a sewer to letters brewery and Corrigan's
place is proposed. also sewer TO reach
the river through Missouri avenue. Some
OF the present storm water and sanitary
sewers are to be enlarged providing the
people vote in favor of the bond issue.
These bonds. II issued are to bear in
terest at the rate OF per cent and will
run for twenty years with the usual five
years option.

dirt and the next heavy rain will wash

who occupied one half of it telling
every one who tried to sit down that

little girl entered, followed by an
elderly woman, her grandmother. The
child called her grandmother to take
the seat, but the imaginary owner OBJ
jected, saying as before: This seat
is reserved The eyes of the child
were black and they lighted up with
indignation. She turned on the sell
fish woman and said in a voice loud
enough to be heard through the car:
4 don't care if it is preserved 1t
isn't fair to preserve a seat when my
grandmother has to stand Besides
every one says grandmother is a won

she did, to the enjoyment of every
one in the car, save the woman who
sat beside her.
