Bomething About the Bill Whioh Passed the Last Loglalatars. DISPOSING OF STATE REALTY, Yhe University Students Organize \ Their Batalllon and Select Off- cers—Board of Regeats Fix Teachers' Salaries. [PROM THE BEE'S LINCOLN BUREAU.| A bill was worked through the legislature at the 1ast seasion which practically compels the board of public lands and bullding to treat with and lease to the Chicago parties the salt interests adjoining the city ina way they have heretofore refused to do. It has been one of the schemes of & man named Green, assisted by the colomns of the State Journal, to make the board of lands and buildings expend a vast arount of money in dykes and ditches at the salt basin, these parties averring if the state did this that they would at once take a lease and proceed largely in the manutacture of salt. The board has along objected to sinking state money In the scheme, from the fact that the best brine yet found at the basin only tests one-half the strength that eastern salt manufacturers require in brine in order to manufacture saltat a living profit. This man Green, aided by the State Journal, and, 1f the Bes's memory is not at fault, further alded by epistolary communications from the veteran lobbyist, Tom Kennard, has as- sisted In season and out of season that his company could manufacture salt in paying quantities with brine at balf the strength required In New York and Michigan. The board has vexy wisely re- fused to spend the state money to assist In such an experimental scheme and now a bill has been passed of the nature that if this company go to the basin and for thirty days make a hundred barrels a day then the state shall make a lease with them and go to work in the dyke and ditch business. Itis gener- ally understood that the plan this company 18 to adopt is to flood the basin and let it evaporate and then flood it again and so on, and it will be easily discovered that in a couple of months they can scrape up the re- quired amount of salt for thirty days to en- title them to a lease. And still the problem of producing salt in paying quantities will be unsolved, and the state will embark in the same character of experiments that the board has in the past two years studiously avoided. ‘The board can do one thing, however, and that is when the leasing time comes it can ma «» a non-transferable lease and stop any speou’ation schemes that may be harbored.

IN FOURTEEN CAKS. The Special Train Bringing the Na- tional Opera Company. Tho special train of fourteen cars convey- ing the National opera company from Peoria, IIL, to Omaha, will arrive here to- morrow afternoon, The principals, chorus, ballet and orchestra occupying this long train, numbering nearly three hundred peo- ple, and the stupendous enterprise, far ex- ceeding in magnitude anything ot the kind heretofore attempted in music, challenges the admiration of the world. The man who ,is at the head of this vast and expensive ag.re- gation of talent, is Charles E. Locke, The principal people are known by all loy- ers of music throughout the entire world. Emma Juch, Pauline L’Allemand, Bertha Pierson and Amanda Febris are sopranos ot the first rank., The mezzos and contraltos are: Cornelia Van Zanten, Mathilde hil- livs and Jessie Bartlett Davis. Miss Phillips and Mrs, Davis are both great favorites in Omaha, and their many friends will give them a cordial welcome with this company. ‘Lhe tenor singers are Willlam Candidus, Charles Bassett and William H. Fessenden. Tue baritones are William Ludwig, Alonzo E. Stoddard and William H. Lee. The bassos are Myron W, Whitney and William H. Hawilton.” All of these "peoole above named have gnined great distinction both in opera and coneerts at h nd abroad. The orchestra, under the direction of that eminent [heodore Thomas, is absolutely un- iid stands without a peer either in this or any other country. I'he grand ballet of ninety-two dancers is simply entrancing. Theprincipal dancers are as follows: Theodora De Gillert, of Milan; Marie Giuri, of Milan; Felicita Carozzi, of Milan, and M. Cammarano, ot Milan. The first quadrille consists of the following: " Milss.

This has been exceptionally favorable; the enterprise has been recognized as pervaded by a thor- oughly intelligent and artistic feeling; the orchestra, chorus, ballet, and scenery have been declared superior to any hitherto pre- sented in America; and, while carefully avoiding the star system, the principal ar- tists are admitted to have given proof of tal- ents which were an agreeable surprise to all. Such praise as this is a wholesome stimulus to all connected with the enterorise. ‘There eould not be a more A\IX&!CM“! flgen- fter the days lug of the amusement season al of Lent than is offered by the coming of this company to Omaha. The Patti concert was the most notable musical event that has ever taken place in this city, and the coming one is searcely second to it. The exposition building made it possible to secure these great attractions, ‘without this building, it would have been impossible for these very expensive organizations to have made a stop in Omaha. The limited capacity of the opera house would have forced the price of seats so high as to be beyond the reach of the multi- tude. The size of the exposition building yermm the price of tickets to be as low as he people of larger eastern cities have ald for these same attractions, and it 1s lower than the price has been in some of the cities. The best seats In the exposition building are sold at 83, and the less desirable seats at 82, the general admission at each en- tertainment being §1. A mammoth stage B4x80 feet, occupying nearly one-third of the hall, has been built, and with the 300 people of this company grouped thercon, it will be sizht well worth seeing, ‘The exposition manazement, after the ex- rermm‘.e of the Patti night, have profited by lie lesson, and holders of seats for the main floor will be admitted through the Fifteenth street entrance, while those who buy the re- served seats in the gallery, and general ad- mission tickets thereto, will be admitted through the Capitol avenua entrance, Thus the tedious and annoving delay of the Patti night will be entirely done away with, 1t is probable that this great musical event will be participated in by a larze number of peopla from Chuneil Bl Kremont, Schuy- ler, Columbus, Grand Island, Kearney, Li coln, Beatrice, Plattsmouth and other ad- joining cities.” ‘There are s good number of desiroble reserved seats left, which can be obtained at Max Meyer & Bro.’s music store, and we trust that the people of Omaha will show their appreciation of the enterprise that has brought this world renowned company to this city by extending to the same a most liberal patronage. A MAGNIFICENT STAGE. That Now Being Constructed in the Exposition Building. . The stage which is being constructed In the east end of the exposition bullding for the American Opera company isa grand affair. It 1s 75 feet wide and 64 feet deep, belug built of the best material, and provided with foot and side lamps, after the most approved fashion. Theaistance between the stageand orchestra rail, inside whictrTheodore Thomas and his men will be stationed, 1s fifteen feet six inches. Dressing rooms for the 500 peo- ple connected with the company, open upon the stage from the rooms in the rear, from the annex, from the galleries and from the Iadies’ dressing-rooms on the south side. ‘The musicians are provided with a seperate dressing-room under the north gallery, Suspended from the top of the building isa net work of ropes which will be used in manipulating the many changes of scenery. ‘The work of constructing the stare and plac- ing the accessories is in charge of Frederick Dornbrack. “Virginine.'

BIG GRAL ——e ELEVATORS, What Himebaugh & Merriam, the Mo- nopolists, Promise Towards a New Company. “Yes, we have read those newspaper arti- cles with considerable amusement,” said Mr, Himebaugh, of Hunebaugh & Merriam, re- ferring to recent critieisms of his firm, espe- clally by the World. *It I8 surprising to us, as well as amusing, to see how some people, who lay ms to large Information and in- telllzence, give themselves away when they discuss subjects they know nothing about, and take no pains to discover or adhere to facts. Our name in connection with the grain trade appears to be used as common property. Weare thinking of chaiging a royalty, and make rebates to those only who use it a wholesale number of times. No! We have not been much aggrieved at the unfa- yorable reflactions and insinuations, made in those articles, and have not considered them worthy our notice in a public way, as the parties writing them seemed to us to be more willing to indulge in misrepresentation than take the trouble to {at at the facts, excepting the remarks of Mr. Woodman, who is proba- bly better posted than any other man outside of the trade. The fact i3, our character is so well established we don’t have to get u how! against every little item refls acainst us.
