ROYAL BAKING POWDER CO., 100 WILLIAM 8T., NEW YORK. Amusements. At the Creighton-Orpheum. The illustratel song, which for genel tions has been getting close to nature's heart by exploiting in dolorous tones dowes- tic griefs and unrequited loves, receives a just rebuke In Hilda Thomas’' burlesqua act at the Orpbeum this week, and it took well. Her skit, with Lou Hall as tte in- genuous Rube, is as funny as anything that has been produced on the Orpheum stage for a long while. Two stunts that are entirely new in the western vaudeville circuit are produced by Hoste brothers and the three Meers. In the first big rubber balls are made to per- torm feats apparently in violation of gravi- tation’s law, and the second presents a comblnation bicycle and slack-wire act that brings into play some ingenlous machinery. Joe Flynn, the monologue artist, appears with a fresh line of witticlsms. The Probyn sisters make a strong quartet, playing sev- eral selections on the ‘cello, violin, piccolo and corne Winchesterman's tralned bears are won- ders. Tony, the black bear, helps his mas- ter carry the furniture about on the stage, thereby Alspensing with the necessity of employing an attendant, and it is said that he combines rare intelligence with a sweet disposition. The performance closes with the kinodrome in a series of moving ple- tures from life. The house was crowded last night. At the Boyd. Daniel Sully, the well known Irish actor, and his company gave two performances of “The Parish Priest” at the Boyd Sunday to fairly .large audlences. This is the same plece In which Mr. Sully appeared here last season, and while it can hardly be sald to be up to the standard of some of his former successes, it is by no means bad. This much cannot, however, be said of his supporting company, the members of which have evidently been chosen from the pri- mary class of some school of acting. Miaco’s Trocadero. The Trocadero, with “The Utopian Buries- quers,” had two large houses Sunday. Utopia opens the program, acted by the entire compan May Le Clair opens the olle, singing several songs. The Jesses did a neat little sketch, which won applaus The Franks sisters were charming ever. Beverly and Beverly are a comedy duo. Eddys, an aerialist, does posing In mid-air. Mayer and Price close the olio with lllustrated songs. “A Parisian Mode s the last number on the program, afford- ing ample opportunity for displaying the personal charms, good voices and nimble feet of a score of young women, “The Utn- plans” play the entire week, with dally matinees. Manager Rosenthal has decided to put on another amateur might next Fri- day evening. Fan of Former Senntor Fowler. LEXINGTON, Ky, April 7.—~The body of Former United States Senator Joseph Fowler, who dled in Washington, D, C., ed &, was burled here yesterday.

SOME GOVERNORS SHUT OUT Ritual Committee of Knights of Ak- Sar-Ben Excludes Non-Mem- bers from Den. * The bars are up at the den of the Knights of Ak-Sar-Ben, and the only men aside from the employes actively engaged In the work who are allowed inside of the build- ing are Edgar Allen, M. A. Hall, R. C. Howe and R. 8. Wilcox, members of the ritual committee. In former years all members of the Board of Governors were given free access to the bullding while the work of arranging for the initiations was in progress, but this year the nine mem- bers of the board who are not on the ritual committee are to be treated as strangers and are not to be permitted to pass the tes which conceal from the general pub- lic the mysteries which lle between the workaday world and the realms of peace and pleasure beyond the outside vell of the court of King Ak-Sar-Ben VIII. This action was the result of a plece of diplomaey on the part of the committee. which felt chagrined because the Board of Governors was too Inquisitive. The com- mittee was preparing the Initiation cere- mony, which is to be something uniaue, and fts work was not entirely finished accord- ing to the idéas of the majority of the mem- bers. ‘At the last meeting of the board the members who are not on the ritual committee desired to know what that com- mittee doing, and, when told that a report was not ready, they immediately adopted a resolution calling upon the ritual committee for a report. So quick was the response that the majority of the board was surprised. The report briefly stated what the committee had undertaken and closed with & recommendation that every person, including the members of the Board of Gov- ernors not on the ritual committee, be ex- cluded from the bullding at all times until the committee Invited them to receive infti- ation into the mysteries surrounding the throne. The report was read and unanimously adopted and now the members of the Board of Governors are on the dutside and can only surmise as to the preparations being made. FLOODS COLLEGE BASEMENT Load of Garbage in Sewer Brings Trouble to Creightom University. At Creighton university yesterday students and faculty were attending classes in their overcoats because some thoughtless teamster Saturday afternoon dumped a load of gar- bage in & sewer manhole in that vicinity. The garbage stopped the sewer, water backed up against the dam thus formed and by 9 o'clock Sunday morning a veritable torrent of sewage was pouring Into the university basement. The fires of the big heating plant were extinguished, the car- penter shop adjoining was inundated, while in the storeroom everything that would float in the way of mathematical, astrop- omical and englueering apparatus wae washed out upon the campus Several flats in the neighborhood also suffered as a result of the teamster's In- traction of a city ordinance. The Board of Public Works was notified by telephone shortly after 9 o'clock and s soon as possible a gang of workmen was sent out to remove the obstruction. At this six men worked nearly all day Sunday. The work of draining the university base- ment was slow and tedious and it was not possible to lay fires in the furmace before Boon yesterday. OMAHA PROTEST HAS EFFECT West of. The protest of the Omaha Five Under- writers' assoclation to the board .of con- trol of the Western Insurance uhion is having considerable effect at the present meeting of that board. In a recent issue the Chicago Tribune shows that the board is considering this protest and that the instructions to advahce rates are not being received by agents in all parts of the terri- tory affected. The Tribune says Officials of the Western Union are busily engaged on several new schedules to be phied to classes found to be reistently unprofitable. The new mercantlle schedule does not l}\pl{ satisfactorily to all classes of towns, and work is belug rushed - new schedule which s eV wns that are penalized more tl thirty points by the mercantile hedule. New schedules for the rating of paper mills, gliss factories and lumber mills are alse in course of preparation, but these will not be pro- mulgsted until they have been thoroughly most stubborn opposition the increase rates has vet encoun comes from Omahs Pire U ‘assoctation. [t “members are to “their com- punles resulutions, adopled unanimously at a recent meeting, representir six local agencies, refusing to ask for the advance: These resolutions, which have been a black eye to the movement, call attention to the fact that the advance was agreed upon as soon ag the anti-compact law was declared unconstitutional, and that only a third of the companles represented by the membership have sent circulars in- siructing for the Increase and that the | inspection bureau has not been ordered to the thirty- secure it. The resolutions go on: “'Resolved, That in the judgment of the thirty-six insurance firms here and now represented, residents of Omaha, it was unwise and unjust for the insurance com- panles to have agreed to make a flat ad. Vance in territory abandoned by them and then not requfre all companles supporting such measure to absolutely require their x\gr’nlu and representatives to enforce such action.” The resolutions further provided that untit te-rated the present advisory rates be ad- hered to, and that the lnsrefllon bureau be requested to at once employ enough raters to apply the schedules.

This course is pursued in some of the dry goods houses, and the managers believe that their eales have been Increased through the patronage of persons who believe in giving the laboring people shorter hours. It was stated some time ago in certain Omaha newspapers that the Grocery Clerk's unfon. would undertake to have stores opened at 8 o'clock in the morning. This on the part of employers, who feel taat it could not be .dome without injuring the business, and for this reason membere of union desire to say that such action was never contemplated.
