Coming Events.
AT the Boyd theater on Monday evening
the great Klaw & Erlanger production Of
Ben Hur'' will begin its third engagement
in Omaha, with every prospect Of being wit
messed by houses as completely filled as on
its two former appearances here. The pro-
duction is one OF the most remarkable ever
undertaken, and presents pictures of splen-
dor on the stage that are not equaled by
any other. 1t was a great feat to make
drama Of General Lew wallace's wonder
full novel that would preserve its spirit and
atmosphere. while telling its tale with COM
pleteness, but It was a still greater feat
to adequately represent the stirring scenes
on the stage. This has been done, though.
with the utmost fidelity, and from the first
to the last, the performance of ben Hur"
is accompanied by perfect pictorial repro
auctions of the surroundings Of the actors
at the time OF the drama The opening
tableau, that Of the Star of Bethlehem, Is
one of the most beautiful ever seen, and
should not be missed. To see 1t one must
be seated at s o'clock, the hour the curtain
goes up. Another, and even more beautiful
scene Is that Of the vision of Ben Hur,
showing the Mount of Olives, with the
people darkening its sides, waiting for the
coming of the Master. Here the miracle
that cures the lepers is wrought The pres
ence of the Master is suggested by ray
OF pure white light, thus preserving the
reverent aspect of the religious phase of
the situation. Indeed, this is a note that
dominates the whole production, that Of
reverence and the charm of family
ties and religious devotion. The COM
pany presenting the play this season is said
to be the strongest ever seen in the east.

The musical event of the winter will be
the concert next Thursday evening by
Walter Damrosch and his New York Sym
phony orchestra of eighty artists, compris-
ing the best musicians In New York City,
and which has further been strengthened
by the addition OF six woodwind artists from
Paris. Organizations OF this high class are
all too rare in the west and Omaha is most
tour which comprises but ten cities; and
only by giving it the hearty support that
1t deserves can We hope to be visited by
such artists. Mr.. Damrosch is one of the
few American composers who have had
their operas produced. He wrote the opera
entitled THE Scarlet Letter." which is
based on Nathaniel Hawthorne's novel of
the same name. Hawthornes son-in-law,
George Parsons Lathrop, wrote the text
for this opera for Mr.. Damrosch. and it was
produced in Boston, New York, Philadel-
phia and Chicago. where also was produced
lie Deum by MIR. Damrosch, written in
honor of Dewey's victory at Manila bay.
Among the many songs which he has writ
ten may be mentioned Danny Deever," tho
words of which are Kipling's poem of that
name. No baritone recital seems complete
without this song, which has become famous.
The program selected, consisting OF the
most popular opersa of the famous COM
poser, Wagner, has been hailed with delight,
and that 1t will prove of the greatest in
terest to all, is certain. Mr. David Names,
violinist is to be the instrumental soloist
for this event, and his wonderful teniaue
and Interpretation place him in the class
of first violinists in this country. Mon
sieur Jean Dlmitresco. tenor. whose sing
ing aroused such enthusiasm at the SYM
phony concert in New York last Tuesday
night. will, no doubt, create veritable
sensation. Mr.. Walter Damrosch and the
New York Symphony orchestra, with these
two soloists, should test the capacity Of the
Auditorium and particularly SO on account
of the popular prices prevailing.

As Guardian of Hannah w. Towns MoE-
ey He rs Said to Have Taken Large
Part--He Is Now in California,
Since Few Years Ago.

Bellows Falls, Oct. 3.-SheriH Arthur
II. Thompson left yesterday for Red
lands, Cal, with warrant for Z. A.
Norwood, former Bellows Falls busi-
ness man, who is held there under a
charge Of embezzlement, it being alleged
that some $4,000 Of the funds OF the
late Hannah w Towns Of Bellows Falls

wood was former guardian OF Mrs.
Towns, and the estate has never been
settled Two civil suits are now pend
ing in the county court, brought by @.
A. Weston, administrator. One Is against
the United States fidelity and guaran-
tee company Of Baltimore to recover
$4,000 on the company's bond to e. "A.
Norwood, and one for $500 against III, ID.
Ryder on a bond given by him to secure
court costs in an appeal.
inc bond company has filed q bill in
ehancefy and secured an Injunction re-
straining Mr.. Weston from further pros
ecution Of -.Is suits at the present time,
and the company win endeavor to show
that Mr.. Norwood's original bondsmen,
G. v. Wheeler, f. q. Pierce, s. T. Coy,
q. B. Allbee and G.. A. Weston are the
parties who should make good such
losses to the Towns estate as the suit
against the company alleges.
The sensational feature Of the pro-
ceedings developed when G.. NJ Weston
and James A. Williams were summoned
to Newfane to appear before the grand
jury. The grand jury inquiry was in
stituted by Attorney General Fits and
Norwood has been indicted for embez-
element.
Mr.. Weston states that when Mr..
Norwood left Bellows Falls he tried To
get him to resign the handling Of the
Towns estate, but that Mr.. Norwood
saw relatives OF Mrs Towns, with the
result that he did not resign, When he
left Bellows Falls, the Bellows Falls
canal company was owing the Towns
estate $4,000, portion OF the purchase
price Of Towns hotel IL is said that
Mr.. Norwood secured $1,000 of this
amount, and later wrote for $1,000 more
with the result that the whole $1,000
due the estate was sent TO California
Norwood was very prominent in busi-
ness here, going to California few
years ago and engaging in the orange
growing business, and it is understood
that he has been very successful finan-
cially.
