"The Rarnynrd Romeo."

The bill for the evening asks something
OF patience OF the spectator. When the sec
ond half has been reached, the wait is
amply justified. THE Barnyard Romeo"
a frank travesty of Rostand's rural fantasy,
is most enjoyable. 1t is cleverly contrived,
and finely put on. A vaudeville sketch
calling for a company Of sixty people Is
enough of a novelty to warrant attention.
and when the sketch is put on with all the
circumstances of three-act musical COM
edy It becomes indeed important That is
just what this travesty is. 1t has the
choruses, the marches, the dances, the
music and the fun Of musical comedy
and it has some very capable people as its
principals. Easily first among them all is
Mizzi Hajos, who is piquant, even saucy
in some respects, and full Of life as ar

VALENTINE, Neb., Aug. SOs-(Special
Telegram.)- THE city water tank collapsed
last night, making a crash like an earth
quake. The rush of water from the bursted
tank formed a small wave that did con-
siderable damage to buildings close to the
tank. The Shaw gallery south, and almost
under the tank was almost completely
wrecked, but no one was in it, having been
warned The rush of water slightly moved
the Jennings studio north across the street
about a foot off the foundation, and broke
some poles in the side of the building.
The old tank has been leaning for some
time and the street has been fenced off
for several weeks to keep people away from

was begun Immediately to remove the

into the mains, so no one will be without
water. The new steel tank on top Of the

until January next" he spoke simply of
the new theater and its purposes. To the
Messrs. Brandeis he paid a deserved tribute,
speaking Of their enterprise and liberality in
building up the city, referring to the great
service they had done the community by
the construction of imressive business
blocks, and the building Of two magnificent
theaters, and prophesied that such efforts
would result in making Omaha the most
populous and important of all the cities IN
the great central west. For the William
Morris management he spoke good word,
and expressed the hope that they would
