49, r Z Methodist Episcopal
church, and in view Of the high price
which Mr.. Boncl commands, and the work
which some have heard him do before, sew
eral questions naturally occur to one,
which would perhaps. have no place in
the review OF a recital the morning after.
Students Of singing have a right to ex-
poet the best that man can give them
when they attend recital, especially
when the artist has been praised to the
skies by the leading critics Of America on
the ground Of perfection and mastership
In this column only few weeks ago at
tentlon was drawn to a performance in
London, in which Mr. Bonci sang wonder
fully, and very many things in the way Of
praise were said about him and his art.
But Mr.. Bonci did not sing last Wednes-
day night as well as at that time So
you say, why did you not say that in
your report of the recital next morning?"
The answer Is one Of various sides. First,
because Mr. Bonci had never sung in
Omaha before, and those who had never
heard him were delighted with him. To all
intents and purposes then, the musical
| critic Of an Omaha paper. reviewing Mr..
Boncis first work in Omaha would not
be expected to compare his work in the
next morning" article for an Omaha
! paper, with London work of two seasons
| ago. Again, what Mr.. Bonc did the other
| night which was not up to his best stan
| dard, was entirely or largely through
| faults Of omission rather than faults of
| commission.
! Now / can hear people say, why, how
! rldlculous There wasn't a single fault In
| his work. l think he was just grand
| These critics are always finding fault
| Bonci was wonderful, the greatest art-per-
lection which has been heard here" And
son on, ad nfinitum.
! Now, doubtless, this is very true as far
as those people are concerned. But the
| critic of The Omaha Bee is not always find
ing fault; he is, in fact always finding
good points, but human nature is so much
fonder of faults than of good points, thai
| the writer's recording of good points is al
ways overlooked and the little on the Other
side that he may say, and say ever Sc
gently, that part, the fault parts noticed
and magnified and mentally underlined
and red-inked in the readers eye
Let us look for the good points. Tit
world is bright and there is sunshine, ant
almost every serious one before the public
| eye has good points and the flowers will
| soon De blooming, ana the trees VIII SOOl
be green, so let US be full Of hope ant
let us all look for the good points.
And, while we are doing IT, will someon
please be kind enough to look for the goo,
points in a newspaper review and not tn
bad ones? The writer requests this, no
on his own account by any means, but 10
the sake of his colleagues, here and there
and everywhere, the much-abused critics
Look for the good points i'm the thing
they write.

MORMONISM is
TO BE ATTACKED
James L. Loar to Discuss RE
hgious Octopus" in Rock
Island Churches.
FORMER UTAH RESIDENT
Invitation Extended to Local Follow
ers of the Faith to Debate
Question.

The Mormon octopus" is In for a
stirring up in Rock Island next Sunday.
when James L. Loar of bloomington,
comes to town. Some of he minis
tiers, feeling the feed of showing the
other side of Mormonism, have secur-
ed the services of Mr.. Loar, who is
well known as a lecturer upon this
Question. He will speak Sunday MORN
ing in one of the east end churches.
In the afternoon at $3.50 he will give
an address at the Y NJ. c. A. auditor
ium, open to both men and women,
using the stereopticon to illustrate
the points, and in the evening he will
be at the Memorial Christian church,
where he will use the stereopticon
again.
Mr.. Loar is a practicing attorney OF
Bloomington. He is well known in
church work, having been state presl-
dent Of the Epworth leagues of ILL
nois for several terms, and being at
present superintendent of the Ep-
worth league state chautauqua at
Culver lake. He formerly lived for
several years in Utah, where he came
into contact with the Mormon propa-
ganda and gained by observation and
careful study a thorough knowledge
of the subject. He has been person
ally acquainted for years with Sena
tor Cannon, whose revelations have
caused so great stir of late, and he
has a vast store of Information that is
dawn upon in his lectures.
CHALLENGES NOT ACCEPTED.
In view of the line of work that he
is doing, Mr.. Loar is naturally not
popular with the Mormon people, and
yet he has tried to be fair with them.
Several times he has offered to meet
them in debate, and to give them the
same opportunity to discredit him that
he takes to oppose them. Not long
ago he even had the papers Of agree
ment drawn up for debate in De-
catur, but after arrangements had
been practically completed, his OPP
ponents backed out. And so it has
happened that he has never succeeded
in getting them to meet him, or to
answer the questions that he is ready
TO put to them.
Mr. Loar has not specifically author.
lied the issuance of a challenge for
his visit here, but it is safe to say
that he would be glad to have any of
the local band of Mormons present
when he speaks Sunday, and that he
will afford them an opportunity to be
heard
All of his addresses will be open to
the general public, and the invitation
is being spread as widely as possible
for all to hear him. His general
theme is "Mormonism, the Religious
Octopus of America

Joseph Casick, sent to the county

subject of an investigation, is to be
released and taken to Baltimore,
where it has been learned his family
lives. Sheriff o. L. Bruner started
investigations as soon as the man
landed in Jail Casick was apparently
insane, but it was finally drawn from
him that he was on his way from
Omaha TO Baltimore and that he had
been choked and robbed of $50 either
in this city or in Davenport. The
shock had rendered him temporarily
insane apparently. Sheriff Bruner
communicated with the Baltimore Off
Gals and located John Casick, a broth
er of the man in Jail. The Baltimore
man telegraphed to Sheriff Bruner
that he would come and get his broth
er and take care of him. They had

To BURY GARBAGE
ON FACTORY SITE
Summer Hauling to Be Inaug.
urated by City Department
Next Monday.
HOUSEHOLDER WARNED
Regulation Size Receptacles Must Be
Provided-Four Wagons in
Service.

Commissioner Archie Hart an
nounced this morning that four gar
bage wagons would be placed In SER
vice next Monday morning. There
will be six men in the department so
that the i've routes for the wagons
may be handled by the four wagons
each day. The garbage will be taken
to the site which was recently leased
for the purpose aud will be buried
there. The burying ground is in the
Manufacturers addition between
Thirteenth and Fifteenth avenues
and Second and Third streets. All
of the garbage will be placed at a
depth of 1 8 inches and will then be
covered with a foot of earth. The
garbage will decay within a short
time and there viii be no trouble
whatever in regard to doors or any
other disagreeable conditions.
In order that the work of the de-
partment may be entirely successful,
Commissioner Hart is going to have
rigid enforcement of the city ordi-
nances in regard to the deposit of
garbage In suitable receptacles. He
states that every householder must
have a good can OF sufficient size to
hold all refuse.
NO HINDRANCE TOLERATED.
He requests that all garbage be
thoroughly drained so that the extra
hauling will be eliminated. He in
sists that no tin cans, berry boxes,
broken glass or chinavare, or any
other substance than garbage be
placed in the receptacles. If this
point is violated, 1t will be impossi-
BILE to make the burying of garbage
a success, for the ground will soon
be filed with substance which can
not easily be gotten rid Of There
is a great deal of expense incurred
in the conduct of the department and
by a little care each person who is
benefited may eliminate some little
thing which would hinder the work.
Therefore, Commissioner Hart re-
quests that next Monday at the lat
est each householder or renter have
his garbage placed in a can. Broken
boxes and baskets will not be tolerat-
ed, and II there is any violation, the
person who is guilty will be fined ac-
cording to the city ordinances.
MUST DO OWN HAULING.
Hotels and restaurants and gro
Gerry and fruit stores which have a
large amount OF decayed matter.
must convey ii to the proper place
for burial The city will not fur
nfsh wagons to haul large quanti-
ties from any place. The city will,
however, bury all Of it the same as
that collected by their own wagons.
The public dump yards which
have been in use for many years
must go according to Commission
er r. r. Reynolds, who has received
numerous complaints in regard to
them. These places which are being
filed in with refuse which is hauled
by individuals must be cleaned up,
as they are becoming a nuisance. The
greater part of the work of cleaning
the alleys will be completed by the
last OF the week and on Monday the
wagons will be turned over to the
public health department.
