At the Majestic,

Ben NJ Jerome, composer of "The
Royal Chef" THE Isle of Spice" and
other comic opera successes, will present
at the Majestic this week for the first
time on any stage, his new vaudeville
production, THE Lady Buccaneers" ne
cessitating ten persons, three complete
sets of new scenery, several entire
changes of wardrobe and electrical effects
Although this opera in one act and three
scenes holds the boards for only thirty
minutes as one feature of the Majestic
bill, all of this elaborate equipment is car
ried, an illustration of the lengths TO
which modern day effects in vaudeville
will go in order to accomplish results. The
new composition introduces several new
musical numbers that have not yet been
heard in the United States by the able
author of the Royal Chef"

MAKES BUSINESS MORE BRISK.
Snow Will Tend to Enliven Trade IN
Many Lines-Sleds Out.

Many Lines-Sleds Out.
The seasons first snow has already
had a tendency to enliven business in
many lines of trade and the merchants
look for brisk results from the storm.
The man who has said he wouldn't
wear overshoes or rubbers, was forced
by the snow and the slippery side
walks to come to 1t, and the shoemen
have been busy. The clothiers have
begun to feel the effects of the snow
in trade among people who had de-
layed buying overcoats until the
weather forced them to it, and the
same thing applies to gloves, caps,
underwear and many other articles
needed for protection out in the cold
air. The same rule applies in the
women's clothing department, where
furs and heavy wraps have suddenly
become more active. There are few
lines of trade, in fact, which do not
profit by the snow. And the farmer
will profit in the end, though 1t inter
feres with his cornhusking, by reason
of the added moisture in the ground.
The small boy took early opportuni-
ty to get out his sled and coast down
steep grades with the aid of the snow
and ice. He was not at all sorry to
see the white flakes begin to fly.

ing Of an extension from O'Noill west
to connection with the Billings line
of the Burlington.
General Manager G.. w. HOldrege,
of the lines of the Burlington west of
the Missouri, said today that such
plan has been discussed by the Bur
lington for some time but he declined
to say whether the deal for the trans
fer of the O'Neill line to the Burling-
ton had been closed.
Such n plan would give the Burling-
ton distinct advantage in the terri
tory in northern Nebraska. It's build
ing is favored by number of the
most prominent executive officials of
both the Great Northern and the Bur
lington railroads, and 1t Is declared the
O'Neill line should be operated by the
Burlington, in connection with the
Ashland line, and later connected with
the Billings line.
A Profitable Line.
AS a local line, between Sioux City
and ONeill, the Short line" as 1t is
called, is declared to be failure as a
dividend Garner. AS a feeder to the
Great Northern 1t has been able to
make fair showing in the annual re

Willmar and Sioux Falls Railroad com

But it is argued that operated by the
Burlington and with the western con-
nection the O'Neill line will become
one Of the most profitable lines con-
trolled by James J. Hill.
The extension from O'Neill west to
| Thedford or Dunning is not new
proposition. The route has been gone
over and surveyed several times dur
ing the past two years. General Man

practically promised at one time that

at Laurel and Randolph, by the North

western meets it at its western ter
minus, O'Neill, making local business,
even though 1t is short line, unproflt-
able. The line is 129 miles in length,
and passes through rich territory.
BY connecting with the Billings line,
the Burlington would have a line
through southern Holt, Loup and
Blaine counties in Nebraska. Sioux City
would be more intimately connected
with the great ranges of western Ne
braska, while the Great Northern
would receive annually thousands of
dollars worth of grain business from
the western part of Nebraska, which
is now being shipped to Omaha and
southern ports, instead of to Minneap-
