THE ACADEMY.


Thurston, the only real present-day
magician. mystified a large audience last
night at the Academy with his ingenious
performance Of feats that amazed and
COMPOUNDED all, at the same time keep
ing the people in a laughing mood while
working up his sensational array of
tricks and presenting what may safely
be said to be the climax of profoundest
achievement in modern magic.
Like Kellar, who was a great favorite
with the American public, Thurston is
an actor, and by the expression Of his
face, by his gesture, by the tone Of his
voice-in short, by his acting-he pro-
duces his effects. The audience, appar-
emily in a watchful and critical state Of
mind, summoning all their keenness and
resolve to find him out, seemed to be
mystified, and completely surrendered
and gave him generous applause. Thurs
ton is cool and calculating to a move
ment Of a muscle under all circum-
stances exhibiting the most delicate
manipulation Of the fingers, and at the
same time misdirecting the minds and
vision of the audience by his subtle con-
versation.
The programme includes many new
special features, most Of them Mr..
Thurston's own inventions. the most re-
markable Of which being 1.-The Bangkok
Bungalow from which an assistant is
caused to vanish three times in full view
of the audience. Another startling nov
city is ''The Lady and the Lion" and
this part of the programme, using the
beautiful lion. was thoroughly enjoyed.
The many comedy experiments. as
finding rabbits and various objects in
the pockets Of people in the audience,
produced a lot OF fun among the seat
holders. as did the experiment of hav-
ing your hat crushed and shot full Of
holes before your very eyes, and then
furnished a new hat of the proper size
&c. The entire programme Is most in
teresting. and the paraphernalia is very
elaborate.
Starting Monday, April 2S a supple
mentary season of stock will be offered
at this theater, under the direction of
Ed. W. Rowland, who will present, from
week to week, a number Of big scenic
melodramas.

Bound to steadily Increase.

From the Hartford Times.
The contemplated reduction in the duty
on sugar is expected to amount to $50. :
00o. 900 a year, and there is now manifest
a very strong tendency in Congress to
increase the public expenditures In al
most every branch of the government.
II Congress lays an income tax of $780,
100000 a year at the start, we shall
probably see it increase in few years
to at least $250,0c0.0o0. The idea OF COM
polling the small part Of the American
people who possess incomes of 5000
or more to pay great deal more than
other people for the privilege Of living
In the United States. and also Of dis
closing to the public the exact amount
of their incomes from year to year, Is
very popular. and now certain to be
put in practice.
We have advanced q long way from
that day when the Republican party

Omaha, Neb., March 25.-Groups
of men, aided and encouraged by
women and children, labored inces-
sanity today among the ruins of
homes and other buildings in the
section of this city which was prac-
tically annihilated by Sundays tor
nado in search of the living or dead
that have been buried beneath the
tons of debris. Added to last nights s
death list of 152 were sixteen bodies
recovered before 9 o'clock from un-
der the brick and iron beams of the
Idlewild club hall
A thorough search in the wreck
age of the Diamond moving picture
theater failed to reveal any bodies,
and it is the opinion of searchers that
all who were trapped in that building
by the panic that ensued imme mediately
upon the rush of the terrific wind
have been found. Sixteen bodies al
ready have been removed from the
ruins of this building. Since last
night the total number of missing
persons has materially increased.
Relatives of persons living within the
area stricken by the tornado began
to arrive in Omaha last night and
the influx of anxious ones continued
today From many of them come re-
ports of missing friends and relatives
This, it is believed, will swell Omaha
death list.
The heavy snow that had fallen
since midnight and still is falling
made rescue work particularly slow
and difficult. Only portions of the
ruins of some buildings within which
persons are known to have been killed
have been removed.
AS quickly as bodies are found they
are being rushed to morgues estab-
lished in various parts of the affected
district Relatives are claiming most
of the bodies, but some remain un-
identified. The coroner is delaying
interment of the latter until possibil-
ity of Identification becomes more re-
mote.
Funerals and burials were held to-
day from all churches and many
homes. Cemeteries are thronged with
grieving friends and relatives of
storm victims.
Many Sad Scenes.
In hospitals and public buildings that
have been converted into hospitals
many sad scenes are being enacted
The nurses, many of whom have been
on duty since Sunday night, are suffer-

have to administer to the injured of
their patients but the nurses spend
much of their time in consoling des-
perateIy anxious relatives of those who
