MERCHANTS OF
OMAHA ENDORSE
GRAND OPERA
Associated Retailers Give Out
Statement Correcting Wrong
Impressions; Guarantors
Being Signed Up.

In a statement given out yester.
day the retail merchants of Omaha
made it very plain that the associa.
ton heartily endorsed grand opera
in Omaha at least once a year.
The statement which was to re.
flute charges that the association had
gone on record as opposed to grand
opera follows:
Upon request of the Chicago.
Grand Opera association, and
instructions from President
Charles B. Black of the AS
ISOLATED Retailers of Omaha. we
address this letter to all who
should be interested, for the
purpose of clearing up what
seems to be a misunderstanding.
The Associated Retailers OF
Omaha for three years took
upon themselves the work en-
tailed to bring this superior
organization to Omaha, and
through the efforts of the asso-
citation membership, Omaha re-
ceived some very valuable pub
licity.
This year we were again ap-
preached, to get behind such a
proposition, and after mature
discussion and consideration. it
was decided that the association
had asked its membership about
all the time they could expect
them to give to assist Omaha
in getting to the front as
musical center, and therefore
the association declined to stand
sponsor for the opera series.
The association, in declining,
went on record as endorsing
strongly the idea Of having
grand opera in Omaha at least
once a year, and the question
being asked, members were in
formed that it would not be any
violation of any rules and acts
of the association should an
individual member or firm go
upon the guaranty to bring this
much desired organization to
our city.
Yours truly,
ASSOCIATED RETAILERS
OF OMAHA.
JAS. w. METCALFE.
The impression that the mer-
,hants had opposed opera here had
worked against bringing the Chicago
Irand Opera Company to Omaha.
,ut since it has been corrected
,uarantors are readily being signed
lp and no further trouble is antici-
,ated in securing the amount neces-
airy to assume the success of the
oCal opera season.

Box Car Thieves Causing
Railroads HEAVY Losses

What appears to be the operation
of highly organized and efficient
interstate gang of thieves, with
headquarters at Chicago, Peoria and
Minneapolis is causing thousands OF
dollars in losses to the railroads
operating in Nebraska and the Sc
cret service departments of the var;-
Gus railroads have thus far been
unable to cope with the gang.
The favorite booty of the Gar
thieves is whisky and automobile
tires and the amount of this stuff
that is constantly disappearing from
sealed cars in transit in Nebraska
is appalling to the different claim
departments of the various railroads.

Walden BiXby along that avenue. How
proud she had been Of her handsome,
enterprising young "Dollar-DOwn-Dol-
lar-a-Week" real estate man. The lit
tie glooms and imps of darkness re-
called TO her mind all the plans she
and Walden had discussed; OF Wal
den's purpose TO begin raising his real
estate price; 10 put on building re-
strictiOns. and gradually 10 weed out
the unsightly novels; 70 bring in Z
better class Of residents and TO make
of Watts something 81 -e than the
joke IL was. And tn on the hill
overlooking the sea he was going TO
build q bungalow, a fire one, which
was 10 be their home when-but that
was all in the past, and Kitty sighed.
He had taken to running with other
women, and this, OF course, was the
limit. Good thing she found him out
before instead of after.
Kitty was wisely glad when the
dingy. dirty Watts Local reached the
Central Telephone Station IN the city.
and her hat and wraps put carefully
away In her locker In the girls rest
room, she found herself before the
switchboard with the ear pads clamp
ed over her ears. If there's anything
that Will effectually put the glooms to
rout II is occupation. And certainly
Il would be gloom with praiseworthy
persistence that could make any
Roadway against the innumeTable calls
claiming a telephone girls attention.
And so in no time at all Kitty had
dipped her voice into the dissolved
sugar and was trilling sweetly into the
mouthpieee. Number. please" Put
in your nickel, please" Lines busy.
Party doesn't answer" etc. just as
though she was happy as bird and
no other woman" had darkened hel
sky.
And so her day would have passed
IL something hadn't happened. But
suddenly her name and a familiar
voice came into her ear. Hello. is
that you. Kit" she heard. and recog-
nized the voice OF Clara Katz ar
Watts. The connection was lost on
the instant. and in the interval Kitty
wasn't certain that she wanted 70 talk
with Clara. or course. Clara would
want 10 pump her about her break
with Walden. And then Clara got the
line again. and Kitty heard. Hello
Kit, I lost the line. Say. Kit. there's
another FIRE down al Watts"-and
again somebody broke In.
But Kitty had heard enough. An
other FIRE down az Watts? Fire? The
word struck terror 10 the girls hear
and drove everything else from bel

going that way filled up. Transfers
invited pedestrians TO get in, and
whipped up their teams; tramps
stole rides; small boys on ponies rode
double. treble, and QuadrUple. and BIZ
cylists came down the pike in
platoons, companies. and regiments. II
mere numbers and thunderous noise
could put out the fire. Watts was al
ready saved.
But when Engine No. 6, splitting fire
and snorting vapors. reached Watts,
with Walden and Kitty just behind,
they found the place immersed IN its
usual slumberous calm. The dogs
still snapped la5ily at IDEAS on the
doorsteps, and the foreign children
still cluttered the streets and alleys
The smoke that Walden aud Kitty had
seen-watched apprehensively as they
few along-was only a Portuguese
woman burning trash in her back
yard 1t was evident there was no
fire at Watts. and the only excitement
at all was what the invaders had
brought with them.
Engine No. circled around. stopped
in front OF Crier's store, and began 10
roar like a lion seeking some fire II
might destroy, while Walden and Kit
" brought their machine 10 a stop and
looked wOnderingly at each other. And
as the rest Of the excitemen hunters
began TO arrive and gather around and
occupy space, Watts wokeup. The dogs
stopped swapping at fieas and barked
furiously. The children came from
all directions and got in the way, and
people began TO come out OF the doors
and peer from windows.
Kitty got out OF the machine aud
hurried into Crier's store She met
Clara Katz. and each girls face mir
