RESPONSIBILITY OF POLICEMEN
Robust Truths Handed h Force by

missioner.

Palrolmsn Hutchinson of Boston entered
a stable In the rear Of a house on his route
twice in one evening and had remained
each time for a period of half an hour or
more, and the second time was found by
the sergeant seated in a chair reading a
newspaper. with his coat, cap and belt
hanging on a hook. He was tried on
charges, convicted and ordered dismissed.
When the order for Hutchinson's dismissal
was read TO the department It was accom-
panied by a statement from COMMISSIONS
O'Meara that ought to be read by every
police officer high and low. Here is law
and gospel for all departments:
ANY nan who for the sake Of loafing
on duty would risk a position that is bet
ter than he is likely ever to get again, has
not common sense enough to be a police
man. ANY man who would thus disobey
orders and regulations and bring dis
credit upon his comrades and superiors
has neither loyalty enough nor enough of
the spirit of discipline to be a policeman.
Any man who would desert his post and at
midnight leave to the chances Of crime,
fire and accident the sleeping people who
trust to his protection, has not humanity
enough 10 be a policeman.

Music

At the Temple Israel last night the Min
neapolis Symphony quartet assisted by Miss
Adelaide Pierce, contralto, gave a program
of popular chamber music before a large
anC interested audience.
The quartet is composed thus: First
violin, Fran Anton Korb; second VIOLIN
Franz Dicks; viola, Olaf Halls, and
violoncello, Carlo Fischer.
Mr.. Fischer, who has become popular
with Omaha audiences, in the last few
years, on account Of his cello playing, was
rot only a valuable asset to the program
by virtue OF his solo work, but also be-
cause Of the manner in which he explained
the program. II any should be inclined to
eavil at this idea of furnishing explanations,
il should be borne in mind that first, this
was not a concert in a musical series, but
a recital in a series of church entertain
ments: and secondly. that Chamber music
is SO little known in Omaha, CT indeed in
any place which does not boast a symphony
orchestra, that it seemed a very fitting
thirg TO give as Mr.. Fischer did. an idea
OF how Chamber music came to exist what
it's reason for existence, and what II really
means. His Illustrations OF the various
periods in the development of music, the
Classical, the Romsntic, ana the Modern
were exceedingly apt
The quartet did some highly acceptable
work, and showed that much time had been
spent in the rehearsal room, for the string
quartet is the one form Of musical presen-
tation which scarcely ever attains consum-
mate excellence. There was a noticeable
'sharplng" occasionally, but generally
speaking the ensemble work was exceeding
coed. In the Boccherini Minuet which was
given as an encore the work was sheerly
exquisite.
Miss Adelaide Pierce has a cOntralto
voice OF much beauty and natural color;
her upper tones she sings with brightness
and life. but for some reason she entombs
her lower octave in sepulchrsl darkness.
When she opens up her lower tones her
enunciation viii be greatly benefited and
she will be a most interesting singer.

As a Result Ike Pleasant is Arrested
for Turning in a False Fire
Alarm.

About 1890 o'clock this morning, the
same being April >. 1t occurred to Ike
Pleasant, colored. that Il would be a
pleasant little April fool joke to see the
fire department make a little run.
Ike lives at 1910 Chicago street. He went
to an Independent telephone and turned in
a alarm for 1912 Davenport, the same being
the Northwestern yards.
The department made a run and when
il found tho alarm a fake, notified the
police. Detective J. T. Dunn and Officer
Driscoll quickly located Pleasant, who
gave the assumed name Of Jones, and
escorted him TO the station.
After Judge Crawford listened to the
details of the little joke In police court
this morning he decided that II would be
a good plan 10 allow Ike the untrammeled
enjoyment OF the affair Tor a few days
without being forced TO do anything else,
SO gave him an order for free board and

Creator in that mighty tone We

Here is an opportunity for Oklahoma
farmers to not only win valuable pre-
miums for themselves, but splendid
national prestige for our young state.
Last year Oklahoma had to be con-
tented with very limited representa-
tion at this great national show This
year our progressive commonwealth
should step into the ranks in her prop

Oklahoma should make such an ex-
hibit OF corn, wheat, oats, broom corn,
kafir corn, alfalfa, bermuda, an native
grasses, as will establish for all time
to come her superior resources of soil
and climate in the production Of these
great staples.

with such local ana state organiza-

this great work, we know Of no agency
through which more can be accom-
plished than the aggressive and enter

the best productions can be selected
for the Omaha Exposition, and the
board Of agriculture will give space
in its splendid big exhibit hall at Guth-

These efforts win prove the great
and the most convincing advertise

while the returns are prompt and per-

to concentrate the enterprise and pub

board confidently turns to the progress
