"The Montana Limited" at the KruE.
A play that is different opened at the
hrug last night to play the rest OF the
week. THE Montana Limited" in spite OF
narrowing billboard announcements and
overly-mellow melodrama, has much in its
makeup to place it above the ordinary
western melodrama. In fact, 1t is so good
that 1t made a hit with a big audience at
the first performance without depending

Twin brother and the situations and pos
sibilities afforded for the drama by ono
being a desperate outlaw, while the other
is a manly cowboy in love with a belle OF

story. A daring train holdup enacted on the
stage and the sheriff's efforts to capture
the road agents, also tender love passages
and intermingled comedy of a winning
sort. tend to balance the piece and give IL
the air of realistic westernism which both

Tell Stories
for Big Prize
Attorney Searle Wins the Blue
Ribbon and Mayor Dahlman
Comes Second.

The Bellevue chautauqua continued to
draw good crowds yesterday despite the in
clement weather. In the afternoon John
q. White of Chicago discussed the "Tene-
ment House Problem" telling the means
by which the evils of the congested build
ings in the large cities can be removed. He
presented a thorough treatment OF the
problem as it has been studied by him.
Green's band gave two concerts, Jne IN
the evening ana one IN the afternoon. TIE
band has been at the c~hautauqua since the
opening day and will remain until the
close.
The main event of the evening was a
storytelling contest in which fourteen peo-
pie took part.
The first prize went to S. A. searle, an
attorney. This was after the Judges had
puzzled unnecessarily over a choice be-
tween four candidates for first honors, and
the matter was finally decided by lot. The
other three who stood at the top were
Mayor Dahlman, Judge Lee g.. Estells and
Edward S. Thompson. Mayor Dahlman
was given second prize OF SIS. Mr.. Searls
took as first prize $75.

In the churches of Omaha, which are ele-
giant without being SNOWY, 1 found earnest,
conscientious preachers and fine choirs and
good musicians I was particularly pleased
to find a spirit Of cooperation and fedora
ton in that. in the heated term, several
churches Of different denominations COM
bined and SO had a full enthusiastic serv-
ice. 1 attended a prayer meeting in the
First Congregational church, where delega-
tons from seven different Congregations
churches sat under their respective stand
ards, with names of church inscribed
thereon, and 1t was an occasion never to
be forgotten. Ones pulse beat fast at the
sight OF such brotherly unity. The fine en-
cravings on the walls of the chapel, 1 was
informed, belong to the Woman's club OF
Omaha, which holds its meetings there, but
they were in no sense incongruous. Aiding
the work of the churches and a safe refuge
for travellers towers the grand Young Mems
Christian association building, u striking
testimony to the generosity and good sense
of Omaha business men.
In the matter of schools I could not but
notice the three or four commercial col
leges that show that Omaha means bust
ness, but of course there are also Creighton
university, the Presbyterian seminary
Brownell Hall and the proposed University
of Omaha that will look out for the hui
manities and the cultural studies, while
the movement TO upbuild the medical de-
partment Of the University of Nebraska in
Omaha will rebound to the benefit OF both
Omaha and the university, for the hospital
facilities are unsurpassed. And to supple
ment and augment this work stands the
splendid public library. with It's large col
lection of volumes and its valuable mu-
scum. The Lininger Art gallery and the
art stores contribute also their share oward
the elevation and refinement of the fortu-
nate Omahans. The attitude OF The Omaha
Pee and other newspapers oward educa
tional interests Is surely worthy OF unquall-
fled approval.
As I turn now to the homes Of Omaha,
I am moved to say. that. while there are
not many pnlatial residences in the New
port sense, the houses are very attrac-
tive and indicate good taste, a desire for
comfort, an effort to secure as much land
as possible for lawns and gardens with a
tendency TO build in the suburbs that are
so near the city in the age OF the automo-
bile. One is impressed with the great mum
Der OF automobiles for pleasure and bust
ness. II Omaha is not the city,
par excellence, a distinction which some
people claim for Denver, It surely cannot
be far behind, And then the public homes.
so to speak. the hotels, are undsniably
famous and make It possible for Omaha
to entertain the attendants on the numer-
out conventions and meetings that Omaha's
business scouts are very successful In Sc
curing. OF course, the building Of the
large auditorium was a move in the SAM
direction.

After spending two vacations in Lin
coin, I went this year to Omaha, the me-
tropolis. Il hope that this will not be used
as an argument to prove that Lincoln is
losing customers). I wished to see Omaha
in gross and in detail, as my previous
visits, except one at the time of the
Transmississippi exposition, were rather
fraBmentary. 1t may seem queer to the
deniEen OF a city to seek 1t on a holiday,
but consider q moment. For one living In
a small place, particularly one who was
city bred. 1t has many attractions. II
stirs ones blood to get back into the whirl
OF life. Coming from the %quietness of a
country town, with its comparative stag
nation. one feels a thrill of new life and
ambition to hear the ding OF the street car,
the honk Of the automobile, the cry OF
the newsboy, and the whistle OF the fac
tory, And then the movement on the
streets, the rush OF traffic, (somewhat

it is for the interest of any and every
part Of Nebraska to help her to do so. As
Omaha grows, Nebraska also grows in all
parts. The pulse-beat is strong and
healthy in Omaha. 1t is not booming; It
is growing and developing fast; and the
Brandeis theater. the City National bank,
the Cudahy building, the Modern Woodman
structure and others all point toward a
mighty inward movement. Omaha is for
tunate in possessing the Missouri for a
drain, and in having the car shops and
manufactures down on the flats away
from the heart OF the city SO that It is not
particularly smoky.
Great enterprise has been required to
level the hills and reduce the grades so
as to make space for business. which does
not climb hills; but what elevations re-
main are delightful for homes and give
opportunity for wide outlookB that are awe
inspiring. and that make Omaha a com
paratively cool city, cheated spells, Of

OUR ARMY OF MAGICIANS
Might Well BE Utilised in Dissipat-
ing some Common Super
stitiOns.

Tit astonishing fact was divulged at the
dime Of the Society of American Magi-
clans in New York that there are 10000 of
those wonderfully gifted fellows in this
country, men who can pick gold coins out
OF the thin air, pull a ton or two of dress
goods, a gross of American flags n a
live pig out of a casual silk hat, palm 1.-Two
goldfish and hatch hardkerchiefs out of
hens eggs. Twenty thousand experts in
ths art of mystifying their fellow men.
whose dexterity, invariably accompanied by
pleasing conversational gifts, is employed
only for diversion. No feat Of the spiritual
lists. hypnotists, ~claiIvoyants or so-called
healers is more remarkable than the tricks
these fellows can play on the vision and
imagination Of a roomful OF normal human
beings.
The grRvest roubles the French govern
ment encountered in its early efforts to
pacify Algiers were caused by the influence
OF the native magicians. The experiment
Of sending Robert Houdin and his son., both
expert conjurers, to show the Algerians
how much more astonishing the repertoire
OF acknowledged trickery was than the
mysteries they have been accustomed to,
proved very successful. It seems that our
army Of professional mystifiers might be
employed to the same purpose among the
u~nenlightened dupes Of the charlatans who
infest this country.
Wherever a pretentious imposter claiming
occult powers is quilting the people a free
exhibition Of the same sort of thing, con-
fessedly produced by acquired skill, would
have a wholesome effect. This is no joke

Upon the suggestion OF an Omahan 1 tax
the liberty of making a few suggestions,
not in any sense criticisms. for that is not
my purpose.
The street signs should be renewed and
many more put up, SO that strangers
would find 1t unnecessary To ask so many
questions about localities. The traction
company could with profit have a man at
the corner of Sixteenth and Farnam streets
to answer questions about the lines of
cars. In fact, the Commercial club might
we'll establish on a prominent corner q
small bureau of for the en-
liEhtenment of travellers and business men.
1t might be furnished with circulars. bust
ness cards, maps, pictures and be made
to pay nearly or quite, by the sale Of re-
~freshments and souvenirs.
There should be, as in European cities,
rest rooms and places OF convenience.
The Young Mems Christian association
might well establish one or more branches
in the poorer parts OF the city, where
everything, rent Of rooms. privilege OF
membership, ETC., could be on a much
reduced scale. and thus meet the criticism
/ that the Young Mems Christian assocIa-
ton Is for the well-to-do. Several reading
rooms in different parts Of the city would
thus be managed. This takes money, but
it Is something that can be looked for
ward to.

The press is informed by a high
authority that the committee OF the

failed to discover proof that DIR, Fred

A preliminary report was made by
the examining committee at a secret

versity today. The consistory listen
ed to the report, which provoked an
animated discussion. 1t appears that
the data SO far submitted are not
held sufficient to establish the explor-

The result of the discussion was a
request on the part of the consistory
that the committee continue it's work.
