orchestra? Nothing at all. And yet, while
we have raved over the ORCHESTRA as
against the solo instrument, We have eX-
tolled the vocal solo at the expense of the
chorus. Isn't it past comprehension? We
have grown into the habit of demeaning
the chorus, despising it, looking down. on
1t, so that teachers of singing will not
allow their pupils to sing in it. Imagine
the instrumental teachers refusing to allow
their pupils to play in "A good orchestra. "
The great "Mendelssohn choir of To-
ronto, has been successful, through its
conductor, Mr.. Vogt, in breaking away
from the pedantic choral society idea, and
has lined for an ideal, and it has been sue
cessful.
In Omaha, the "Mendelssohn choir is
going to attempt the same thing, and give
to the west an organization which will be
an inspiration and help to itself and to
others who are trying to develop along
the lines of study and learning, towards
the true appreciation of the lessons which
the great masters have taught, and the
Interpretations Of their works as they de-
signed them for the uplift and delight of
humanity.
As opportunity occurs, every phase OF
choral work will be undertaken by this
local 'MendelsSohn choir winch VIII tend
to the developing, enlargement and refine
ment of the public taste. Omaha is grow
ing i'm every material way, and Omaha,
some day, not far distant, will have its
own orchestra, its own opera and will
be known as a supporter of those things
which all great cities must support, in
order to take rank with other great cities
and the time seems very ripe now for tbs

is hoped, will grow strong enough by force
Of honest merit, to compel the support OF

A ROMANTIC
DISCOVERY
Boys Find Old Saddle and Rifle Among
Rocks Near Old Roundup Stolen
Twenty-Five Years Ago.

While playing in the hills near
Old Roundup last week some boys
accidently found an old saddle, II
gun, box OF cartridges and blankets
neatly cached in the rocks, where
they evidently had lain for some
twenty years. The spot where they
were found is in plain sight from
the historic town and It is surprising
that the find was not made before
this. The blankets were badly rot
ted while the gun and saddle, being
OF a more substantial material, were
in better state OF prevervation.
The saddle is an old style affair with
an extra large horn as were in vogue
twenty-five years ago and bears the
imprint Of a Billings sad,llcmakcr.
The gun is an old Buffalo Express
rifle OF obsolete make shooting car
tridges OF about 80 calibrc.
Why this cowboy outfit Of quar-
ter Of a century ago was hidden
here would make an interesting
story We're the facts known. Some
Of the old residents of Roundup re-
collect the theft Of !, gun and saddle
about twenty-five years ago which
had remained Il mystery to them
ever s.ncc, and it is thought that the
present discovery explains the theft.
The thief fearing that he might be
caught with the goods, cached them
in the place where they have re-
manned safe and unseen for these
many years, to await the time when
the storm had blown over. Why
he never returned to claim his
booty or who he was are mysteries
which perhaps will never be solved.

DEVELOPMENT RE.
CE|vtS IMPETUS
General Superintendent of Rcpub.
lie Coal Go. Here..Is Very Op.
timistic Over Outlook.
NINE TO EMPLOY TWELVE HUNDRED men
Work ON Dwellings for Miners to
Commence Soon ;. Another
Mine to be Opened.

w. W. Taylor, Of Chicago, gen
eral superintendent Of the Republic
Coal Company, is in town this week
looking after some of the develop
ment work at the mine here. Mr..
Taylor feels very optimistic over the
outlook for their mine here and
sees great future in store for
Roundup. In an interview with a
representative Of The Record he said
that in view Of the fact that the
body Of coal on the lands controlled
by the company is Of such extent
and the coal Of such superior
quality there would be no delay in
the development Of the property.
Already new improvements are be-
ing projected and work will be
pushed as rapidly as possible, which
together with those now in course
of construction will greatly increase
the output Of the mine.
The development Of our mine
here is yet in its infancy said Mr..
Taylor, and no one at all familiar
with the indications at present can
doubt its efficiency. 1t takes con-
siderable time and a large amount
Of capital to properly develop a
mine Of this kind and is not task
of a day. The coal is of better
quality than any mined in the state
Of Montana the vein being Of such
extent that several shafts will have
to be sunk. We are already pro-
jecting another shaft in the inme-
diate vicinity work on which will
commence rs quickly as possible
and in all probability more will be
sunk later on. Roundup will re-
main our headquarters and all our
men will be stationed here which
will insure a permanent camp at
this place OF considerable size. The
slope, which was commenced last
year, will be pushed thru to compile
ton, and when once in operation
with the new machinery a large
amount Of coal can be taken out.
The vertical shaft now in use will
later on be used only as an air
shaft. We will employ from a
thousand to twelve hundred men in
the course of a year or so and the
company is already taking steps to
properly take care of these men.
One hundred four and five-room
residences costing $500 each are to
be built on the eight blocks Of the
townsite which have been reserved
for our use. The material for twen-
ty-tive Of these dwellings is now in
transit and upon its arrival crew
Of carpenters will be put to work on
them. The addition Of these build
ings will be a material growth to
the CITY,"
While here Mr.. Taylor placed Geo.
n. Griffin in charge of the mine as
superintendent. Mr.. Griffin comes
highly recommended, having been
employed in similar position in
the Amalgamated mines at Storrs,
Mont. NJ. II. Fletcher, who has
been temporarily in charge, will re-
main with the company and will
likely be transferred to the new mine
as superintendent as soon as it is
opened.

DIDN'T KNOW ANY BETTER
Topeka Mans Only Excuse.

Several days ago a Topeka man
who rides a bicycle to his daily la
Dor, was seen wheeling his Bicycle
into repair shop. His look was that
OF utter disgust and worn out pa
thence. The bicycle had fat tire
which looked as if the repair shop
trip was getting to be an old gag.
Recognizing a friend on the street.
the man stopped. and began an out
pour of his tire troubles. He told
the history of the unsatisfactory tire
from beginning to end. using a con-
siderable amount of ungentleman-like
language the while.
Before he had finished, his friend
commenced to laugh. The man,
driven almost to desperation and an
ger, turned upon him fiercely de-
manding the cause. "Wh-y-y,s you
haven't Ffske tires on your wheel"
The man took the hint and immedi-
ately went to the U. S.. Cycle Com
pany and ordered a brand new set
of Ffske tires, and he has had no
trouble whatever since.
