BOMB PRACTICAL JOKE.

JACKSON, Miss, May 5.-A pack
age, received in the early mail here
today by Gov. Theo. G. Bilbo. Of
Mississippi, which local POSSIBILITIES
authorities believed contained an in
fernal machine late today was shot
to pieces with a. shotgun by pos
tai employee, and according to per-
sons present, failed to explode OF
show any signs of danger.
The governor had given the pack
age to the local postmaster after
partially opening it. II was similar
in size and appearance to two re-
ceived today by Mayor Walter A.
Scott OF Jackson, and Frederick Sui
lens, editor OF local newspaper, and
was wrapped in brown paper, the in
side of which bore the inscription:
"Gimbel Bros, New York. Novel
ties" Postoffice heads declared the
packages resemble those described
in newspaper dispatches recently
discovered in a New York postoffice
addressed to cabinet members and
other prominent men.
According to postoffice inspec-
tor. examination of the package re-
ceived by the governor disclosed a
small copper wire, to which a tag
was attached. On this was the in
struction, ITO open, pull this wire.
Three small wooden toys were
found; and on the reverse side OF
the tag was the words: IF you
have followed instructions and
pulled the wire, you are entitled to
play with these toys"
According. to Postoffice Inspector
A. P. Wilson, no postmarks appear
on the three packages. They were
received in Jackson as first-class
mail and it is believed came early
today from the north on an Illinois
Central train.
The packages received by Mayor
Scott and Mr.. Sullens are being held
pending instructions from Washing
ton
While friends OF the recipients, ii
was said, are inclined to think they
have been made subjects of prac-
tical jokes, local postoffice heads to-
night declared they would take no
chances. 1t developed tonight that
packages similarly wrapped, but
larger in size, bearing the name
"Gimbel Bros, New York." have
been sent persons in other parts of
the state. One, it was said, received
by citizen. at Edwards, Miss, on
examination contained two small
oranges.
None of the three men here can
ascribe any reason for an attempt
to take his life. 4.

but that the real estate men report
applications for homes from people
coming here which cannot be sup
Piled. The city is full up, all desir-
able residences and cottages are oc-
cupied and still the demand con-
tinues undated.
The absence of homes for our in
flowing population is seriously re-
tarding the development of Column
bus. If people come here for bust
ness or pleasure; for the educational
advantages or for any other reason
they should be furnished place of
domicile. Not to furnish them is to
stop the progress of our city. There
are innumerable lots here which
should be occupied with homes
True, building material is high and
labor is scarce, but others are build
ing and where one can do it others
can do it. Rents are advancing and
such investments could be made tc
pay a reasonable return.
Give us some more homes. Co
lumbus needs them.

man or his colleagues were not so
greatly different than the public of
today.
Music hath charms and the
homage of the world is laid at the
feet of the singer who can drive
dull care away and lead US into
Elysian fields with the beauty of
her voice. No fairy waves her wand
and bestows this priceless gift. but
only by years of the most arduous
labor does the singer find the pot
of gold at the end of the rainbow.
1t is most interesting to note the
progress of these Melbas in the
making. One of Omaha's most tai
ented daughters, Miss Jane Beats,
is already ascending the first round
of the ladder of musical success.
Miss Beats has just returned from
Cincinnati, after brilliant season
of study at the Conservatory of Mu
sic. OF the $500 aspirants at the
great school of harmony Miss Beats
was adjudged artist contralto."
To attain this pinnacle would be
quite enough to tax the capacity OF

most mortals but Miss Beats has
not even devoted all the shining
hours to her music for she has
trained many young minds, teaching
in the Cincinnati schools. We can't
quite determine when she finds time
for scales and exercises, but it must
be after the stars are lit.
A beautiful pin studded with
pearls and embellished with the
pipes of Pan is worn by this young
contralto. 1t signifies that she is a
member of the Sigma Alpha Leta
sorority, the oldest and most ex-
elusive organization at the conserv-
atory.
Prior to her eastern instruction
Miss Beats was a pupil of Thomas
]. Kelly in Omaha for six years and
was also a member of the teaching
staff here. She was also under Mr..
ReIly's guidance in Cincinnati and
will continue her study with him
next year.

Miss Jane Beats Wins AS Artist Contrato in Contest
With 1900 Aspirants At the Great
School of Harmony

CNCE time immemorial music
- has played its star role in the
~ great drama of history. We
cannot trace its origin to a definite
period. An ancient legend recounts
that the wind making sweet tones
among the reeds of the Nile first
taught mankind the art OF music
and the use of musical instruments.
We read of the mysterious ages
when the morning stars sang to-
gether" and of the courts of ancient
kings when serfs and vassals sooth-
ed royal hearts with dulcet tones
from tabret and harp. Shepherds
played the pipe under the shady
trees by wells of cool water. The
organ composed of a few reeds,
was played to picturesque groups
about the tents and the cymbal was
used on occasions Of triumph.

.deciphering the dim hieroglyphics

We arrived at the American ceme-

This cemetery contains the graves
of 1900 American soldiers, each one

ought to take US girls along, though,
and can't understand why we stay
here a minute.
There are nine Y. NJ. {. A. girls
and one Jewish Welfare girl who
live together, have our own bar

colonel of the camp can give us.

Sunday $50 boys came into the

under l8, TO be used as requirements

the government can allow such boys
to come over here for three years
I am sure the recruiting officers
have never been in France. So
many of the boys are so homesiek
now they can scarcely stand it. The
unanimous opinion of the boys of

young brothers coming into France,
they will kick them into Hoboken

The green trail of the grasses,
And the leaftrail of the tree
The young springs in the meadows,
And her breath is on the sea;
Her laughing lips are calling,
And they sing across the vale;
Oh, take the path of morning
When the green is on the trail.
By mill and shop and temple
She has passed to call men forth
To the green domains of nature
East and West and South and North;
Her azure eyes are twinkling,
And her feecy cloudships SAIL
And we'll take the path of beauty
When the green is on the trail.
The hammers of the toilers
Have been swinging hard and long;
Ger the magic of the valleys
Pours the young springs airy song;
Oh, put away the labor,
For your cheeks are turning pale;
And you want one breath of beauty
