PROMISE OF THE THEATRES.
ain Old Kentucky"

When Jacob Lift was organizing his
first company for I'm Old Kentucky"
the bluegrass meIodrama, which made
q fortune for him, and which is still
piling up thousands of dollars. he and
his chief lieutenant, a. w. Dingwall,
were walking through the streets of
Pittsburg, where the play was TO begin
its season, when they saw and heard a
band Of darkey boys playing for life
and death some Of the old southern
tunes.
There's just the thing for the sec
ond act of In Old Kentucky" Mr..
Lift exclaimed. I'VE must have those
boys"
The band was engaged. and ever
since it has been one of the most in
teresting features Of In Old Ken
lucky For all the fourteen years of
success which the play has gone
through, the pickaninnies have played
and danced their way into the good
graces of innumerable thousands of
people. and have made the spectators
talk" the surest and best medium of
success; and today their spell is Just
as potent and strong as when the cur
tain went up on the first real produc-
ton of the play.
In Old Kentucky" had been tried
out" earlier in the year by a stock COM
pany under Mr.. Lifts control, playing
in his theatre in st. Paul. the first per-
Torrance having been given there Aug
4, 1898. In that original cast there
were some fine players, and that they
gave a good account of themselves the
papers Of st. Paul declared. Julia Ar
thur, then in the heyday of her love-
illness, was in the cast, and the charm
ing Marion ElmOre, who played Mad
gem, and Mrs. Selden Irwin. a fine
actress. Among the men were Louis
James, who was the Colonel Sandusky
Doolittle; George Edeson, father of the
present day matinee idol" Robert
EdesOn; Frank LOsee, Frederick Book
and W. II. ElwoOd, a we'll known lead
ing man of the day.
But there were no pickaninnies in
that first company. They did not be-
come part and parcel of I'm Old Ken
lucky" until the formation of the COM
pany which was to tour the country
with the play, and they really made the
fortune of the melOdrama and placed
Jacob Lift on the solid and sure way to
wealth.
Since the original little band entered
the company, it's individual members

band, and who is referred to as the

of the boys when Jacob Lift selected
the band. He grew older but not much
taller, and although he has spread a
bit" he is still capable of hopping

"OId Arkansaw.V

This is the seventh successive season
that "Old Arkansaw" has been upon
the road 1t seems to have struck the
popular chord and for all these seven
years has crowded the theatres. The
reason for this extraordinary success
is that the play contains all the bet
ter elements of the several classes of
stage productions. It has a strong plot
for the seriously inclined, sensational
climaxes for the lovers of melodrama.

that kind of entertainment. strong spe-

DON'T BELIEVE MEAT DECLINE
Dealers Here Receive No Notifca-
tiOn of Reduction.
Say They Are Selling Beef at n Loss,
Despite the Reports of
Lower Prices.

No authoritative news has as vet
reached the local wholesale meat dealers
and agents of Western packing houses
that it is contemplated by the large
concerns of that section TO reduce the
prices on all meats 10 per cent
On the contrary, there seems TO be a
tendency on the part Of the local dealers
not only 20 ridicule the idea Of a reduc-
tion Of meat prices, but 70 claim that.
for the last month. beef has been sold
at a loss in this city.
Announcement was made that the
Omaha packing houses yesterday re-
duced the prices of all meats 10 per cent.
and expected a still further reduction.
The local dealers do not place any
credence in the report although Ed
ward F. Cudahy. head of the Cudahy
Packing Company. which. it is reported.
Joined in the reduction, is alleged to be,
leve that there viii be an immediate
decline in all staple products
Speaking Of the movement, Mr.. Cudahy
is reported as follows.
- General business expansion has been
carried too far, and there has got to he
a halt For several days We have been
buying cheaper and we think we are
justified by the conditions in selling
cheaper There has already been a re-
duction in some other lines, and we be-
lieve that meat should be lower than it
has been"
Beef roasts, which now are selling in
Omaha for 10 cents, will be sold to-mor-
row, If the retailers keep their promises
of to-day, for 8 cents. With sirloin rang
ing from Is TO Il 1-2 cents, porterhouse
from 20 to 2. round steak quoted at L -
and boils as high as S cents, there is
much opportunity. for a saving, say the
hOuseholders.

TRYING TO SAVE HIS LIFE
Attorneys Would Prevent Hanging
Of Joseph PaOluCci Monday.
AfHdHVits for Court that Juror De-
cIared All Italians Should
BE Executed.

Joseph Paolucci. an Italian, was con-
victed in this city last spring on an in
dictment charging first degree murder.
and is now under death sentence, with
the date Of his execution fixed for next
Monday. Attorneys Thomas Taylor. W.
J. Lambert and Rudolph r. Yeatman
Will to-day present TO the court of ap-
peals in their efforts TO secure a new
trial for the Italian, the affidavit Of the
wife Of a jurymau and another person,
who claim the juror expressed dislike for
the Italian people in general. and de-
clared all of them should be hanged.
The attorneys will charge before the
court that Juror Birmingham thus anath-
ematized Italians some time before he
was accepted as a juror. and they Will
ask for a new trial on the ground that
the jury was rot impartial
The crime for which PaoIucci was con-
victed and sentenced TO pay the extreme
penalty Of the law was one OF the most
brutal and cold blooded peypetuated IN
the District Of Columbia. The evidence
showed that in September. 1906 he met
Miss Elizabeth Dodge, a pretty sixteen
year-old girl with whom he was infat-
uated, and after a few words pulled a
pistol from his pocket and shot her to
death. PaoIucci, in an attempt TO end his
life, inflicted upon himself slight flesh
wound with the weapon. He was a shoe
maker and kept a small shop near a
c4y,
girl repelled his advances, and this an
gered the Italian. The evidence showed
that he visited her mother and made
threats, but these were not taken Sc
Tiously. Paolucci was informed that the
girl had another suitor, and in a jealous
rage he killed her
