OMAHA BANKS GAIN HEAVILY
Clearings for Six Months Increase
$e6,6SS,4 49 Over Last Year.
PUTS OMAHA IN THE LMEL1GHT
Advance t. All the More CreditabIe
Because This City Did Not
Go Back with Others Two
Years AGO.

BY leaps and bounds the busines Of the
Omaha banks has increased until they now
occupy the center Of the nancia stage.
A prosperous six months has closed for
the Omaha banks with June 30. The result
shows the business which has passed
through the Omaha Clearing House asso-
citation under the management OF w B..
Hughes, has increased $50, 6SS, 449 over the
corresponding six months last year, an in
crease Of over % per cent.
March showed the biggest gain OF any
one month and broke all records for
hank olearings in Omaha. March OF this
year was 81, 769, SO2 and March of last year
was $50, 727. 264, an increase Tor one month
Of $l5,O42.O 3S.
Omaha's gains are all the more creditable
because Omaha did not TAX a backward
step during the financial troubles Of 1907.
While most Of the cities did not show
much of a gain last year over the year
before, Omaha made substantial gains and
the increases shown by Omaha this year
are over and above the gains of last year.
Here is a comparative statement OF the
bank elearings by months for this year and
last:

Rain Breaks Up
Outdoor Theater
Severe Shower Puts Sudden End to
Twelfth Night" in the Sec
ond Act.

The presentation of Shakespeare's
Twelfth Wight under Miss Fitch's direc-
ton. at Hanscom park, proved a bad night
for 600 people who were gathered on the
broad expanse of lawn near the northwest
corner of the park last evening and who
were sent scurrying to shelter by a driving
rain that descended upon the out-of-door
playhouse and its audience during the sec
ond act OF the comedy.
Some OF the spectators found protection
on porches Of houses in the vicinity Of the
park when the rain drove down. but most
of them. seeking dry spots under trees,
were drenched to the skin by the sheets Of
rain forced underneath bushes and trees.
The actors, more fortunate than their
patrons, were afforded a dry place in a
dressing tent and the escaped the wetting
that fell to the lot of the large crowd.
The play was proceeding nicely when It
was broken up in the second act. 1t had
gone far enough. however. to please the
spectators and to max them wish to see
It continued to the close of the final act.
BY the FASTENED ending the play Miss
Bernice Beverly in the role Of Olivia was
denied an opportunity to display her ability,
She had been on the stage of grass but
once. and that at a time when she spoke
but a few words in a scene with Viola,
who was pleading as a lover. Miss Julia
Nagl as Viola was not surpassed by any
OF the other female characters. although
Miss Stella Beslin as Maria, a maid, really
divided honors with her for the best work.
Miss Beslin was more at ease and spoke
with less consciousness of her task than
the rest of the players.
Victor Kerney as Sir Andrew Aguecheek
and Wilbur Smith as Sir Toby Bilch were
funny, as their parts meant them to be.
Others had no chance because the storm
broke up the play. During the intermission
between the first and second acts a spring
dance was given by a company OF young
girls. Music for this dance was furnished
by the Sixteenth Infantry Military band.
The band played a concert program before
the play was started.
The matinee performance OF Much Ado
About Nothing" advertised for this after
noon, has been abandoned. Rain drenched
the costumes and scenery, and rendered
them unfit for use, so the proposed per-
formance cannot be given today. 1t may
be put on at some future time.
