FoRGETS HIS NAME in WRATH
Cheyenne Man Writes POstomce, but
Ia Too Mad to Sign His
Letter,

The Omaha postoffice is just in receipt OF
a telegram as full of indignation as a
democrat after election. 1t is from a
man in Cheyenne. He sends a copy of the
telegram by mail in order to give 1t addi-
tional emphasis.
The man claims that he had directed the
Omaha office to hold his mail here fol-
further orders and that later he would
write. directing the mail sent TO Cheyenne.
TIL telegram and its mail replica are
all right. but the indignant writer forgot
to attach his signature to either and the
postoffice folks at Omaha are a little UNI
certain whether to send the entire batch
Of dead letter mail to Cheyenne for the in
dignant person to select his own particular
mail from, or wait until he cools off enough
to send his name.
"Thi is just a sample Of some of the
kicks we receive said Assistant Postmas-
ter Woodland" and is in keeping with the
reason OF many of them. For instance,
here is a bunch of letters Of just this
mornings mail, mailed at the Omaha post
office. Some OF them are not addressed
at all, others have no postoffice on them,
some are not stamped and so on. Probably
these very letters are of extreme impor-
lance to the writer's and the Postoffice de-
partment will, of course, be blamed by the
writer's for any failure OF their delivery.
There is nothing on the envelopes TO indi-
cate the writer's and our only recourse is
10 send them to the dead letter office"

Music

The recital given Tuesday night at the First
Baptist church was well attended and
most heartily appreciated. The artists who
gratified completely the musical people
present were Arthur Hartmann. the great
v%iolinist, and Alfred Cabin. the very com
plete supporting pianist.
IL Is seldom that the music critic Of The
Bee applies the word great: II can with the
clearest conscience be applied in this
case. The term great artist is often care
lessly used. but not so when Il is used in
describing the personality and prowess of
Arthur Hartmann. 1t might not be amiss
to speak Of the "double-~stopping the up
per harmonics,' the "pizzicato'' effects and
so on. after the manner of learned writer's
on the violin ~recitals. but let II suffice to
say that here lie a man who is a player Of
music a musical player, a musician, an
artist.
Wen balanced is he beyond all dispute.
his fingers are as sensitive as his ear. and
ms soul Is made OF music. But this fine
sehsioility does not run towards eccentric
ity' which spoils so many otherwise inter-
estins artists. Hartmann possesses repose
ana tranquility OF manner to a marked de-
gree and withal he has the true fire.
The favorite Mendelssohn concerto in E
minor was given with magnificent breadth
ana with great clearness of tone in the
most rapid runs and cadenzas: in the
ever beautiful andante movement, the quail
ity OF the singing tone was beyond the
power Of describing in cold words. Instead
or the Faust fantasia. which was on the
program. Mr.. Hartmann yielded graciously
10 requests and substituted a triple number:
Air from a concerto by Goldmark: barcar-
ole by Tschaikowsky and a mazurka by
Zaraych, dedicated to Sarasate, a most
interesting and original work. The artist
gave a periodically designed twist to the
tan OF the program in the shape of a sym
phonic rhapsody, which introduced Amer
lean airs to gladden. the hearts OF the lovers
of that style of concert music.
In the group I'm Pensee" CArthur
Nevin), ITO a wild Rose" CMacDowelD
and "Farfalla" (sauret) the highest en-
thusiasm OF the audience was awakened
by the delicately spun effects which the
player wove.
Mr.. Calzin was heard 20 great advant-
age In a Liszt rhapsody. which he delivered
with tremendous power and dignity. The
Pappillons" of Rosenthal was as the
fiuttering of many butterflies on a sum
mer day. He also played the @ minor
oaIlade with good effect, even II the piano
lid was inadvertently left unraised.
Miss Hopper, who presented this fine at
traction. is entitled to the warmest support
or the community, and her next recital
VIII be that OF Nine. Bloomfield Zeisler. on
January 4.

TAX SALES BEAT WHEAT PIT
City Hall is Scene of More Excite.
ment Than Bulls and Bears
Make.

Talk about, the. wheat pit! 1t is not in
1t as far as excitement is concerned with
the tax sale now being conducted by the
city and county treasurer in the treasurer's
office in the city hall.
Crowded against the iron grating a horde
of hungry buyers OF tax titles fight and
push and shove to get as close as possible
to the aperture through which B. C. Miner,
clerk, reads the description Of the property
upon which taxes have not been paid and
which can be secured under tax sale upon
the payment by another party Of the taxes,
providing the original owner does not re-
deem the property within a given period.
Mr.. Miner reads the description in an even.
sing-song voice and does not pause between
descriptions unless one Of the buyers calls
out.
Benjamin. or Security" or Burns"
together with dozens of other names. are
yelled into the ear Of the clerk, more often
than not eight or ten call out simultane-
ously, speaking merely the name, it being
understood that the speaking of the name
means that the man or company to whom
the name belongs will pay the taxes. When
a dozen yell at the same time the man with
the strongest pair of lungs gets the plum.
for the clerk writes down the name he hears
above the din and the chatter and the con-
fusion of tongues.
The sale begins every morning at 10
o'clock and continues as long as interest is
shown by the purchasers.

COON GOES BACK TO KEARNEY
One of Numerous Forgery Charges
Against Him to BE Prose-
cuted There.

Sheriff Sammons of Buffalo county came
In from Kearney yesterday and departed
last night, taking with him C. L. Coon, who
is wanted there on a charge of forgery.
Coon is credited with being a rather
clever individual. Some time ago he went
TO Kearney, representing himself as an
eastern capitalist, with money TO invest in
an electric railroad. He succeeded in in
teresting a number OF Kearney business
men, and when he thought the psychology
cal moment had arrived he asked one OF
them to cash a check for him. He secured
several hundred dollars from various
sources and came to Omaha, where he was
arrested on a similar charge.
Coon is also wanted in Memphis. Tenn,
Detroit, Mich. and other places. and when
he gets through he will probably be an old
man.
