No LEAVES on ABSENCE
FOR HOAIESTEADERS.

On Saturday at Washington
the committee OF the United
. States senate on irrigation
agreed to report adversely the
. Hepburn bill granting leaves
. OF absence to homesteaders on
lands yet to be put under ir-
. rigation and the unfavorable
report of the committee means
that the bill will be killed.
. The Hepburn bill provides
that the leaves of absence to
be granted by the government
TO the homestenders shall not
exceed six months in any one
year but provides for their CON
tinuance until the irrigation
projects can be completed.
The committee in agreeing
to report adversely took the
position that absence Of this
character would bee conducive
OF frauds.
This is a matter of vital in
terest to the several hundred
people who have filed on claims
under the proposed high line
/ as well as the Grand juno
tion and Mesa county people
who are holding claims in the
Uintah country.

MARY, Mary, Quite Contrary once had
a considerable vogue as "A Scrap Of Pa

was then as now deservedly popular. In
making his arrangement Mr. Presby has
barely disturbed the dust that had accu-
INFLATED on the original without altering
it in any Of its attractive features. 1t was
thoroughly enjoyed last night by the rather
meagre audience that assembled at the
Boyd to welcome Miss Crosman and the
clever player folk who are making the
tour with her.
Miss Cr6sman is one OF the most accomp-
iished condolences and brings to whatever
part she undertakes carefulness of
method and a certainty of accomplishment
that assures her success II such a thing be
possible. She is devoid of that bane of
modern acting. mannerisms, and enters
with a zest and earnestness on the por-
trayal of whatever character she assumes.
A certain nervousness of manner is her
only distinguishing mark but even this var

the biggest advertisement Benson could

less promising results. Benson no longer

The people of Omaha have had a lesson.
They want the city streets to be safe for
unarmed pedestrians; the taxpayers bur-
den lessened by the diminution of criminal
prosecution, the cost OF which is now
enormous, and they want clean municipal
government by officials who have the whole
city's welfare at heart and not simply
the moneyed interests.
