Omaha, Feb. 24.-All seems quiet
in the anti-Greek agitation in South
Omaha. Although a portion of the
local militia was held in readiness all
night the precaution was apparently
unnecessary. The Greeks themselves
had left the city before nightfall and
were quartered in nearby towns
Only small portion of the Greeks
have families in this country. Their
expulsion from South Omaha will not
work much of a hardship. There are
a few, however, who are in business
and own property These will, they
say, look to the city to make good
their losses, not only in property but
in the suspension Of business.

The Old Homestead.

Denman Thompson's The Old Home stead, unimpaired in every way and seemingly more virile and compelling than in the past, is now in it's twenty fourth season and is playing to audi ences that completely fill the theaters where the company appears. The, au- diences follow the thread of the old story with as much unfiagging interest as if it were all brand new. NTNhe pro- duction in all the essential details that go to make up play are perfect Such familiar scenes as the old farm yard in the New Hampshire hills breathe the air of good wholesome honesty The equally familiar Grace church scene, with the choir singing the well known but always pleasing music, is said to be as good as in former seasons. One of the secrets of the longevity of this simple play of a simple people lies in the high stan dard always maintained in production and presenting company. Frank Thompson Denman Thompson's son, who is manager, keeps the traditions of the old play well. in hand, and he consequently reaps a golden harvest every season.

BREED THEATER.
The Cowboy Millionaire, Thrilling
 Western Feature.

Packed houses greeted every per formance at the Breed theater yester- day, when the management was com- pelled to give a continuous perform ance from 2.30 to 5 o'clock, so great was the demand for seats. The true western thriller entitled The Cowboy Millionaire was the great feature, and 1t is one of the best western pictures ever seen in this city. The picture opens with scenes of a half holiday in Circle City, Ida, enjoyed by the cow boys. This is one of the most inter- esting and exciting scenes ever pho bronchos,, pitching mustangs, bucking steers, are sufficiently thrilling, but it remains for the champion steer thrower to come into the limelight and do the wonderful act entitled bulldogging a steer, which is a very dangerous act and has never been accomplished by over three men, one of which appear ed here recently in the picture entitled Fight for Life.
 The picture is filled with interesting episodes of the phase of western life that is fast passing away and enter tains and thrills the many spectators to whom this style of living is yet a novelty A magnificent Biograph pie ture is on the bin and is as usual a perfect little drama in itself, the ex- cellent acting supplemented by correct orchestral music serving to complete a most delightful picture.
 As a separate feature in the music line Musical Director Dowsett has ar ranged the new and catchy march. Loyal Blue, of such local interest. as a bell solo. and will use it for the bal ance of the week.

WANTS A NORMAL SCHOOL.
Waterbury Still After an Institution of
 It's Own,

The following is from the~Hartford Times:
 During a recent visit to this city, Senator John Hurley of Waterbury made the statement that Wnterbury will come before the general assembly at the next session for an approprla- tion for a new normal school to be located in that city. Senator Hurley expects to be member of the next senate and it is believed that the great majority of the voters of the Sixteenth district think that his expectations will be realized. There are some people who are not entirely satisfied that there is another normal school needed in the state At the present time the schools in Danbury and Willimantic could ac- commodate between them about 300 normal students. There are about sixty normal students from Waterbury at- lending the schools already estab lished, most of them going to the school in New Haven, which by reason of the trolley service is easily accessi- ble to them. It has always been re- gretted that a school was not estab- lished in Waterbury instead of Dan- bury. The legislature at the session of 1903 would not have made an ap- propriation for the establishment of normal school in Danbury if the mem bers had voted on the merits of, the proposition alone. It is well known that it was by a combination of inter- ests that the project was favorably acted on by the legislators. New Lon don county, and, for that matter, the entire eastern part of the state, want ed an institution for the insane, but it was found impossible to secure enough votes in the house. Danbury wanted normal-school, but there was very little chance of convincing a majority of the legislators that the educational interests of that town or of the west ern part of the state were suffering through the want of the school When the statement was afterwards made in the house by a member who favored the appropriation that the school woul@ fill long felt want it was thought that the speaker was facetious and the other members of the house smiled. It was by combining their interests that the people of the eastern part of the state secured their insane hospital at Norwich and those living in the west ern section their normal school in Oanbury. There was skilful log rolling by Norwich and Danbury. Log rolling is a political science that is not neces- sarily reprehenSible.
