mic disturbances has served to add to
the terror of the people In parts of
the district that was visited by the
heavy earthquake of last Wednesday.
Although the shocks were light,
buildings which had been cracked and
were tottering from the effects of the
first disturbance were completely
razed.
In Avezzano and Sora, the towns
which suffered most from the disaster.
the people left the temporary shelter
In which they are living and took
refuge in the open places.
Cold Hampers Rescue Work.
Rain and extremely cold weather in
some parts Of the district are hamper.
ing badly the work of rescue. This Is
particularly true of Sora, where a
cold rain has been falling.
In many Of the towns thrown dow
by the earthquake, it Is feared there
are still living persons beneath the
debris and that unless they are extri-
Gated soon they will perish.
Reports Increase Casualties.
Latest reports received from Rome
Increase rather than decrease the
aggregate of the casualties and the
extent of the damage done. In the
department Of the Abruzzi alone, it is
estimated that 10000 persons met
death.
The Italian government has appro-
priated 81. 000,0 900 for the relief work
and King Victor Emmanuel has don
ated 100000 for the aid of children
abandoned by their parents or made
orphans by the disaster. Relief sup
plies are pouring into the stricken
districts, and it is believed that short
!y there will be sufficient food sup
plies everywhere to alleviate tempor.
arily the distress of the people. Train
loads OF lumber also are being dis
patched to the destroyed towns for
the erection of huts.

Charles Frohman was the most noted
manager OF his day; neither England nor
America. nor any other country, has
yet produced a man whose genius for
big things was so marked, nor who had
so we'll developed the faculty of also
looking after the little things. He has
stood alone at the very front of the
producing managers of the world for
years. In this country his name has been
the guaranty of excellence. His tnflu-
ence on the progress of the theater, in
all it's activities, has been beyond cal
culation or understanding. and it has
been always for good. Omaha will have
lost a good friend in Charles Frohman,
for he was one big man OF the stage
who did not forget this town; his stars"
played here regularly. and his biggest
and most expensive productions and COM
panies visited us in turn. Volumes can.
and very likely will. be written about
him. and his work: at this time 1t must
suffice to say his loss TO the theater is

man could be.
Mr.. Charles Klein was an author Of
long experience, best known, perhaps, be-
cause of his Lion and the Mouse" and
similar dramas. He had written much
OF the lighter comedies, and some farces.
but for several years had devoted him

drama, and was in hopes of giving the
world a masterpiece. Justus Miles For

Now that the OTpheum season, with
this week, reaches its termination, Man
agoI Byrnc takes this opportunity to
thank patrons for their part I'm making
the last nine months one Of the most
profitable seasons I'm the history Of the
theater. The attendance has been such
a to justify both the faith the Orpheum
circuit has manifested in Omaha and the
assurance on the part Of the public that
il wants wholesome diversion at economi-
cal prices.
A glance backward over the season will
suffice TO show that Orpheum offerings
have been. in at least several phases,
more than entertaining. Some Of them.
especially in the field OF music. have been
distinctly cultural. Only recently the
most distinguished of women 'cellists,
Lisa Ruegger. was an orpheum feature
appealing to the loftiest of musical tastes,
ana of the same high quality was the
singing OF Nine. Jomelli, a prima donna
Of international fame. There was also
Theodore Bendix. with his four associ-
ates. whose parlor music proved par
ticular delight TO Orpheum audiences.
In the dramatic field. likewise. there
nave been some unusual offerings. The
season was openedi last August with
Arnold DAILY in one Of Shaw's most satiri-
cal one-act plays. Later came Claude
Gillingwater. who presented thrilling
dramatic episode, and later still came
Joseph jefferson in a very pleasing
comedy.

If you see a tall fellow ahead of the
crowd,
A leader of men. marching fearless
and proud.
And you know of tale whose mere
telling aloud
Might cause his proud head to in
anguish be bowed.
It's a pretty good plan to forget it.
If you know of skeleton hidden
In closet-guarded and kept
from the day
In the dark, whose showing, whose
sudden display,
Might cause grief and anguish and
lifelong dismay,
It's pretty good plan to forget it.
If you know of a thing that would
lessen the JOY
Of a man or a woman. a girl or a
boy.
That would wipe out smile or the
least way annoy
A fellow. or cause any gladness to
cloy,
It's a pretty good plan to forget it.

by Earth Slide.
Spartanburg, June 9.-Valley Tay-
lor, age 9, and Evelyn Taylor. age
6, were buried alive and smothered
to death beneath an avalanche of
dirt from the side of deep gulley
near the home Of their father, Ed
Taylor, of the Enoree section in
Laurens county this afternoon. The
two little girls were playing along
the edge of the gulley, which is an
old abandoned road washed by rains
TO a depth of about fifteen feet. 1t
is believed that they slipped over
the edge, dislodging a quantity OF
dirt, which fell upon them. They
were buried to a depth Of about four
feet. and were dead when finally un-
covered with shovels. Evelyn's left
leg was broken. The news OF the
tragedy was brought to the mother OF
the girls, who was hoeing cotton in
the field, by Baxton. their 4-year-old
brother. He had been at play with
them during the afternoon. About
6 o'clock he ran up to his mother
crying and between sobs told her that
the girls had fallen into the gulley.
She Immediately gave the alarm and
a party of rescuers went to the spot.
A physician made every effort to
resuscitate the victims. but was un-
successful. Mr.. Taylor's place is a
half mile from Lanford station, near
EnOree.

He Knew.

The teacher was giving the geog-
raphy class a lesson on the cattle
ranches. She spoke Of their beef all
coming from the west. and wishing
to test the children's observation,
she asked:
And what else comes to us from
these ranches?"
That was a poser. She looked at
her shoes, but no one took the hint.
She tried again.
What do we get from the cattle
besides beef?"
One boy eagerly raised his hand.
Il know what it is. It's tripe!
he answered, triumphantly.
