"THE MlKADo.'
Home Talent Opera to be Presented
at New Opera House, April 2l-22.


The ladies of st Lnke's Guild are
very busy nowadays disposing of the
remaining tickets for the two perfor-
mances of "rhe Mikado", that most
charming of comic operas, to be given
at the New Opera House, on Wednes-
day and Thursday next, under their
auspices Almost every local vocalist
of ability is engaged either in the cast
or chorus. At last nights rehearsal
there were over fifty singers present,
and it will require no little ingenuity
on the part of the director and care
upon the part of the performers to
prevent a collision during the many
evolntions and marches which abound
i'm the opera, on account OF the rather
limited amount OF stage room. How
ever, we may be certain of u full and
finished operatic performance such AS
none of the small opera companies
which have heretofore been heard
here have been able to give.

"The Moon Song" and "Here's How

The fan movements and posturing in
which the opera abounds arc very
beautiful and our local singers will be
gorgeously costumed in real imported
Japanese garments. From the num-
Der of tickets already sold, full houses
are almost assured, yet the ladies of
the Guild and the performers are de-
termined that standing room only will
be the rule at both performances. In
the matter of the reservation of seats,
which begins on Monday morning at
9 O'clock at Hargens' Drug store, the
ladies wish it to be understood that no
preference will b g shown and that the
first person in the line will have an
absolutely clean board from whicn to
choose his seats. First come, first
served, will be absolutely observed.

Out of work, pennlless, and

When the commissioners took charge
Of the city government. the city's funds
were apportioned out among banks
where the old aldermen had found
friends. The city got nothing from de-
posits. One of the first acts of Com
missioner Charles W. Schramm, Super
intendent of the Department OF Ac
counts and Finances. was to deposit the
funds In banks which paid the best
rate OF interest. The auditors report,
shows that the city added ss,031.s5 to
It's receipts thereby.
Clean Slate Started.
For the multitude Of overhanging
claims which confronted the commits
sioners when they took charge, bonds
for $4,000 were issded and all the old
debts wiped out. The commissioners
started with q clean slate. Their sole
ambition has been to live within the
city's income and eventually clearing
the city from debt. Des Moines now
has outstanding se1s.uoo In honda.
drawing from liz to 1-2 per cent
interest, and 1t has on hand $66,
with which to pay interest and princi-
pal.
So conservative and careful has been
the watch over the "cash box" how
ever, that the tax levy has been re-
duced this year from 1877 mills to $50.
o saving of 2.3 mills on the dollar. This
| levy Is made on only d rs Per cent val-
uatfon. Auditor Hawk report shows
that the per capita cost OF government
In Des Moines based ON an estimated
population of 100000, is 1886. OF this.
$7.44 Is for maintenance and $2.12 for
Improvement. &c.,
Every dollar paid out by the city has
been carefully accounted for and there
was a good reason for paying out each
dollar before 1t was released. The
commissioners placed all transactions
on q fat business basis and figured to
the narrowest margin.
For instance, Commissioner Macvicar
took as much pains in figuring out a
way to save money in cleaning catch
basins as he did In letting contracts for
paving, involving thousanes OF dollars
Mr.. Macvicar did succeed m reducing
the cost of cleaning catch basins from
$40 to $l.05 and he saved the city a
goodly sum thereby. The old council
paid out $3.1so.70 for cleaning 2.272
basins. The commissioners paid "a
s49.05 for cleaning 1852 basins. 1t cost
the city $36,290.95 to clean its streets
In 1905 but II was done by day labor
and every dollar of the sum is account
ed for by a warrant. The city has be-
gun doing nearly all it's grading Jobs
by day labor instead of letting them to
contractors. 1t is saving money there
by.
A saving of 500 here $500 there and
$1,000 over yonder, caused the total
saving at the end OF the year to run
close to $4,000. The careful, conserv-
alive business methods applied, proved
their value In Des Moines. Instead Of
being nest Of busy politicians, the
city hall of Des Moines is now a nest
of busy business men, hired to operate
the city on a business basis. The Des
Moines plan has proved itself. 1t pays,

Eow the commissioners schemed and
planned to make this saving would NIL
q volume. The financial AFFAIRS OF the
city were In deplorable condition when
they took charge. But they got out
the pruning knife, the big stick, ana
made q cleaning at the city hall such
as Des Moines had never seen In all It's
history.
All the old "barnacles." the political
'.hangers-on." and straw bosses were
stricken from the pay-rolls. More
men lost their jobs inside of six weeks
than got places in six months.
Commissioner John MacVicar, who
was made superintendent of the de-
partment OF streets and public I'M
provements, fired clerical help, grading
foremen, inspectors and all the unnec-
essary straw bosses until he got tired !.
Then he marshalled q new force Of
younger men--men who could do nine
hours work every day and were will
ting to stretch 1t to fourteen II neces-
sary. He systematized the city's pub
10 Improvement work. Te made
every man beneath him responsible for
some certain thing. Then he took
supervision OF the whole. The result
is that Des Moines soon had the best
organized public. work system 1t had
ever had In all its history.
For directing this branch OF the city's
work, the following comparison tells:

Salaries Are Raised.

not to cut down salaries OF men who
were capable. Rather. the tendency
was to raise them. The old Council
