The first bids opened in Omaha for meat for the army in the Philippines demon- strated the wisdora of that move on (he part of the government, as an Omaha packer made prices which won for him the award for all of the ham and for half of the canned beef required at this time, Word from Chicago recetved Sunday morning 18 to the effect that the Cudahy Packing company, on & bid of $11.80 per 100 pounds, was given a contract for supply- ing 30,000 pounds of hams, and on an offer of 24 cents per can, was given an order for 15,000 cans of beef, one-half the quantity needed. The figures of the other bidders were not given, but on the beef they must bhave been less than 25 cemts per can, for at that figure the Cudahy company ofteréd to supply the second 15,000 pounds. As soon as the officlal papers arrive the assistant commissary officer of the depart- ment, Captain W. R. Grove, will take cbarge of the work at the packing house and ipspect each plece of meat intended for the soldiers. He will watch each change and certify that every process required has been carrfed out according to the specifica- tions.

PERFECT ORGANIZATION UNDER CONTROL fon Since Last Visit Here Bring About Wonderful Res Tonles Efects, Innes, who comes to us as regularly a the seasons; who brings us nmew delights with each recurring visit; who honots Omaha ulways by his personal friendship; charmed a few—oh, o few—ot his personal friends yesterday afternoon and evening at the Boyd. Why the theater was not packed is not clear. Certalnly if the people had appreciated the merits of the great or- ganization of which Innes is the visible head and controlling spirit, not an available space in all-the vast theater would have been vacant. As it was, some paltry hun- dreds listened to two of the best-balanced programs ever arranged, rendered by the best band ever in Omaha. The world bas lost a bandmaster and gained a musical leader since 1898, Matinee Program Enjoy: N At the matines yesterday Innes was re- minded that ho still had friends in Omaba. The cudlence was small, but remarkable appreciative and discriminating, many of Omaha’s best known musical people being noted In attendance, and how thoroughly they enjoyed the lavishness with which they were served can best be attested by the statement that never so few pairs of hands made that great theater ring as did those. It the leader had had amy doubt of the tealty of his Omaha friends, one little nci- dent dispelled it. When the seventh num- ber changed from the sweet Moskowsky serenade to “Love Is King," the first few bars of that popular march were played amid such a spontaneous outburst of ap- plsuse as must have affected even its com- poser. The program was chosen with that rare good taste that has always marked Tnnes in this respect, and in a way to bring out most forcibly the capabllities of his or- ganization. Lassen's “Fest" overture, the Bach-Gounod “Ave Maria,” and the *“Danse Macabre” preceded Rubenstein's “Kam- menol Ostrow,” that wonderfully expres- sive descriptive fantasy. This number was especlally effective, the mew instrumenta- tion of the band showing here for the first time at its full value, Innes has conquered the bass, and now pours it forth in the softest of eweet melody as a support to his arrangement of reeds, thus glving the Rubenstein masterplece an effect that is a real triumph. His clarinets, piccolos, flutes and bassoons blend with oboes, cor- nets, altos and eaxaphones so completely that one with the utmost dificulty . only may distinguish an individual instrument. Innes takes his tempo with remarkable judgment, too, giving just the desired ef- tect. Mr. Kryl's cornet solo, the “Inflammatus™ trom Rossini's “Stabat Mater,” was a de- cided trlumph. Three times did the cor- netist respond to the call, and again and again did he bow to the enthusiasts who so thoroughly enjoyed his tone-making. The vocal sololsts are artists,’ but there wilt always be a division of opinion as to the value of grand opera arias sang in street costume. The afternoon program closed with delicate tribite to Omaha, the “Old Glory’ quickstep, written by Dr, Baetens. Its stir- ring measures were quickly recognized and warmly applauded. Evening Program. In the evening another evidence of Innes' skill as a program bullder was afforded. After the overture from “Mignon' came a double number for the ‘‘wood winds,* Mendelssoh! pring Song,”” and Loraine “Salome.” It is difficult to choose between these widely varying compositions, the soft, sweet strains of the ome contrasting so markedly with the bright, quick melody of the other; but both were rendered with a touch and precision that left nothing to be desired, save the inevitable demand for an encore. | This brought “Tell Me, Pretty Maiden,” by the same Instruments, the three selections presenting a wide range in music, each charming in itself and the combination most Mr. Kryl played by Levy, and responded to » double encore. A selection trom “Parsifal” was followed by a double Innes number, “Cupid’s Story,” a lilting intermezza, and “Prince Charmipg, step march, with the hall mari scenes from “Carmen,’ tieularly the “Toreado Vocal well eurig, par- " in which Signor Alberti's splendid voice was heard with pronounced effect, and a deecriptive plece by Innes, with the musical blacksmiths, closed the evening. Two splendld programs will be given to- day, at ‘matinee and evening hours. Amusements. At the Orpheum— Mustc lovers will find a treat at the Or- pheum this week In the singing of Katherine Bloodgood, who has but recently jolned the vaudeville forces. Until within the last two years Miss Bloodgood has ap- peared in concert only. She was heard here by a few during the Transmississippl Exposition, when she t the opening ceremonies of the Illinols state bullding. She possesses a rich contralto voice of un- usually excellent quality and one that shows the effects of careful training. Sunday night she sang two heavy classical numbers and as an encore a pretty little selection, “The Low Back Car’* She is a beautiful woman, with a charming personality.

At the public dance hall the rich man's son fawns on his barber to get an intro- duction to the latter's girl. All who af tend, and the halls are usually crowded, risk bodily injury for the sake of a few hour's pleasure, for a fight starts there without waiting for the drop of the hat. The experience of a stranger in the city who went to a dance at one of the halls on South. Thirteenth street will attest. He became acquainted with one of the girla, danced once and was asking for the second number when he suddenly received a stift blow In the face from the fist of a man ‘whe looked six feet four. ““Keep yer mllu offen that, id the aggressor, ‘s mine The stranger recovered in time to see the girl and man waltz off together as though nothing had happened. They All Dance Wel While the language of the public dance hall may not be up to the order of the Court of St. James, no place turns out better men and women dancers. A few weeks of regular attendance makes a fin- ished artist as graceful as turned out by many dancing masters. One would mot charge Jim Tucker, the venerable hack driver, with belng a good dancer, yet Jim is one of the best in Omaha. Buck Keith can lead a grand march with as much grace, ease and dignity as the best. So can nine ou of ten of the waiters, laborers, cooks, bricklayers and others who are regu- lar attendants at the dances. The public dance halls have undergone considerable change since the recent advent of the labor unlons, sccleties and frater- nal organizations with their weekly d monthly dances. Each soclety has full charge of the hall while in its possession, and with & floor committee of from five to ten members and a policeman on duty, much of the ginger has been taken out of the dances. In the halls on South Thir- teenth street, where the keepers of the places formerly gave dances every night, they are now content to do so weekly, the uptown halls, the police and committee pro- tection having removed the most enjoyable part of a public dance—the free-for-all fighting, without fear of arrest. Musie Never Ceases. The only place in the city where the music is on tap twenty-four hours in the day is the notorfous Midway. It was in this place the much-talked-of and much- prohibited “shine” first made its appear- ance to lessen the gloom occasioned by the passing of the free-for-all fighting dancers. The “shine” made Its first appearance in Omaha Fune 23, 1901. It came direct from St. Louis fh chatge of Bob Johnson, who has made a reputation as a dance prompter. At a meeting of the “Pleasure club” John- son and Nell White gave the “shine.”” Ole Jackson, Levi Bloomfleld, Mattie Griter, Hattle Davis and others fell in line, and the “shine” became the officlal dance of the Pleasure club. “It was so named,” sald one of its promoters, “because it is a strictly colored folk dance, and we wanted it to be known as we are known, called as we are called, and we thought, after . white folks had copled all our other dances, they would allow us to keep this one. That was another reason why we named it the “‘shin 80 every one would recognize its originators.” Shine Outgrows Origin. The ‘“shine” attracted considerable at- tention and was soon & favorite at the Mid- way. Many from other halls came, saw and were conquered. During the holiday sea- son a couple danced it at & ball glven In an uptown ball. It took like wildfire. And go rapidly did it spread that Chiet of Police Donahue appeared on the scene as & dance censor and ordered it discontinued. To entorce the order a police officer s now stationed at every public dance ball. With the advent of the shine in “higher circles" which the colored peo- y on their “Back, back and go the other way.

How yings” Start. A request for a dance and its refussl given by members of a local walters' union recently gives one an Idea of the original sayings so loved by other people. With a bow that would have brought forth a 50- cent tip in & chop suey bouse he spoke thusly to “May 1 have ll. scramble answered, afreld [ will get mixed.” The scramble u the lanclors in polite soclety. In the lan- guags of the public dance he received “a package." Notwithstanding the absence of the nightly fight apd of the prohibited and much-loved dances, the public dence hall will be with us always, for the attendants preach: On with the dance; let joy be unconfined, DANCES ON SATURDAY NIGHT Chief Domahue That Must Close at 12 0'Clock Hereafter. your “Around the cornei joint,” “Take off & leg, They The order issued & few days ago by Oblef of Police Donshue requiring all public dances to close promptly at midnight was not strietly enforced Saturddy night, for the reason that A Bumber of dances had been arranged for before the order w sued.

Benefit He Received from Paine’s Celery Compound. On December 14, last, the proprie- tors of Paine’s Celery Compound found the following letter among their mail : They had no correspondence on the subject; they did not know Mr. Mus- ham, except by reputation. Like every testimionial of this great medicine that was ever printed, it came to them un- solicited and unsought. The proprie- tors of Paine's Celery Compound have never found it necessary to manufac- ture or edit any testimonial, They have never found it necessary by any trick of advertising to promote mythical men in far off places to positions in legishtures or offices that never heard of them. It is the one of all remedies the popularity of which has increased on account of what it does, stead of what it says. It appears that Fire Cluef Mnsh-m. the head of the hlcaxo part- ment, which is the model of lhc world has been for forty years in the service; as brave as a lion, industrious, cool- headed, with a record for lhlln. fires, and quite as distinguishes nerve nnd generalship as other heroes whom nations have bestowed nbhc f I kg Chied M ham, in m spring of 1901, obtained Good Blood He Has Won the Highest Po- sition in His Calling. the highest nm'nmon that it is pos- sible for a man in his business to have ~=promotion for merit to the head of the finest fire-fighting brigade on earth.

And bear in mind that what Paine's Celery Compound has done in the case of Marshal Musham, and for thou- sands of others who have voluntarily expressed their gratitude in _similar words, it will do with unvarying cer- tainty in the case of every person whose nervous system, from whatever cause, begins to show the effects of disease, and whose symptoms manifest themselves in the various distressing wa)és that are so familiar to every er. ntlemen :— Your remedy, Paine's Celery Com- und, is all that you claim for it, and is certainly a boon to humanity. I have tried it, and have secured great benefits from it when suffering from indigestion or its companion, neryous- ness.

At the same time some good deals were made. One “wholesale dry goods house equipped four new stores during the week, one af Loulsville, Neb., and the others in this and in Dakota. On account of the early date of Easter this year the milliners and their trimmers employed and those seeking employment, will make up a large part of the early rivals, The millinery houses are already flling up with young women who come to study the styles and mal engagements with employers. While many of the visi- tors do not purchase sufficient goods to re- celve (he advantage of the special rebate given on fares by the jobbers and the re duced rate did not go into effect until Fri day, the number of retall dealers register ing at the Commerclal club to secure th advantage of these reduced rates was sey enty-two, which was probably about one- third of the retallers in the city during the week.
