Deputy Game Warden Brown Has Elk
ercised Great Care to Pro-

from einers.

Cottages are bobbing up like mushrooms
on the land of the Omaha Rod and Gun
club at Cutoff lake, and that colony VIII
be doubled in size this summer. Although
the continued rain has kept many back,
still It has not been sufficient to head off
the members OF the colony who had de-
cided to build and reside at the lake this
summer.
The threat Of the water to break through
from the river into the lax has not even
been sufficient to stop the progress at the
lake and, although some of the boat own
ers have been in a ~quandary as to what
to do with their beats, still they have not
been frightened away and now that the
waters are subsiding. all is again peace
and quiet.
Deputy Game Warden Brown has been
most active in his crusade against the
seiners util they are beginning to realize
that the fish in the lake are to be protested
and allowed to grow for the benefit OF
the lovers of real sport with the rod and

The withdrawal OF a proposition for n

is one by clients of w. Farnam Smith. who
propose to erect a $1,000 building at Harvey

light musical triumph of the world.
1t has broken the largest records
wherever it has played and is still al
tracing enormous audiences in thirty
different European cities. The New
York run lasted fifty-two weeks, dur
ing which time the metropolis paid one
million dollars to SIC and hear the
tuneful production.
This famous attraction opened a two
weeks engagement at the Tulane
theatre in New Orleans on Sunday,
Nov. /, where it is being presented by
the same cast of artists that helped to
make s'.1he Merry Widow" famous in
New York city. Miss Rosemary Glnsz
has sung the title role for over two
hundred performances in. New York;
George Dameral has practically the
same record in the part of Prince
Paul Bleyden, the famous
grand opera tenor, sang. The role OF
Camille de Jolidon in Chicago for six
months. and then at the New Amster
