Van Dusen, dpposed the amendiaent cn the ground that it was too intricate for & part of the constitutfon of the state and dealt with matters which should be left to the legisiature. Suggests a Conventfon, Others objected on the ground of the im- probabllity of securing an amendment to the constitution, and this talk brought out the question of a constitutional conven- tion.| After much discussion, {n which the majority of the members sald that they were not posted on the subject, David An- derson moved that the sense of the meet- ing be dhat a constitutional convention is necessary. Herman Kountze said that such an important matter should not be touched | upon without the full committee present and then, wpon motion of Mr. Whitmore, the secretary was instructed to notity the members of the committee that at the next meeting the question of a constitu. tional convention would be considered. The discussion regarding the merits of Mr. Green's bill caused the reading of the report of the subcommittee of five made last December ahd in harmony with that report the subcommittee was instructed to detide upon what measure of consolidation and rollef from taxation can be secured without a constitutional, amendment and to draft a bill containing every poisible advantage and to 80 prepare the measure that the offices in Omaha can be consoli- dated and the other towns authorized to take advantage of the law upon the vote of their citizens. The committee adjourned to meet January 15 at noon. Resolutions Condemning Ac- tion .of Five Members of the At the régular meeting of the North Side Improvement club last night the res- olutions adopted a week ago condemning the action of the five members of the city council who voted for the amendment of the Andrew Rosewater power franchise or- dinance was rescinded. Councilman Karr was present at last might's meeting and took occasion to protest against the action of the club in passing judgment on him in his atsenge and before allowing him an opportunity o be heard. After a long dis- cussion, during which the Sixth ward coun- cllman sald that he had voted for the amendments to the power franchise be- cause requested to do 8o by about 500 busi- ness men and because he did not consider Ren & L % that by so voting he was opposing Mr. ' Rosewater's plan, a motion to rescind was carried. W. F. Johnson asserted that the motion was earried by the votes of menm who were not members of the club. The following new officers of the club were installed: Dr. Paul Ellis, president; R. B.

As a speetacle some of it is magnificent, superd, almost incompu rable, and some of it is so patently stagy and devold of naturalism that ome wonders that the managers have the temerity to thus aftront public credulity. Happlly, the closing scene is of such beauty and fraught with such real dramatic in- tensity that' any and all gaucheries that may have preceded it are forgotten, and the single impression that any but a jaundiced eritic would carry away is a re- membrance of a multitude, artistically dis. played amid the most appropriate of sur- roundings, singing & hymn of praise to Him who has done the miracle all were | praying for, and as the curtain goes down | on a reunited family, mother, sister, prom- | 1sed dride and the rehabilitated Judah prince of Hur, bowed tu grateful acknowl- edgment of God's goodness and the di- vinity of His Son, the satistaction of an ending so popular, even if conventional removes any disappointment that might have been earlier experienced because of failure of realization to match anticipation. As in the story, so In the play, the human intercst centers around the fate of Ben Hur's mother and sister. At times other features seem paramount, but ever and anon the mind reverts to these two suffer- ing women. Scenes in the circus, love- making in the moonlight at the camp of Shetk Ilderim in the Grove of Paims, de- bates on the roof of the home of Simonides, or philactering in the Grove of Daphne, all these may distract for the moment, but they never turn the thought of either Bep Hur or the audience from those women who had appparently been swallowed up in Geath, so mysterious that not a trace was left. And it would seem that the depth of misery had been sounded when they are restored to freedom and life—lepers, doomed to death in 1life, and the most loathsome of deaths. Hoy that mourntul wall, the cry of the leper, despairing yet warning, ‘“Unclean!” pierces the heart. a single word the most terrible fate, one besides which death in sudden form were sweet, is told. Deeper still is the pathos of the scene where mother and daughter gaze on the sleeping form of him they both love and have long thought of as dead, suddenly presented before them in full vigor of lusty manhood. All the dammed up love of years seems about to break its bounds and well over in one fond kiss, and then— “Unclean!” Mother, love and sister, love conquers again, and the salute is denled that the loved one may mot be contam. inated. Arah brings a faint but Elorious hope to these sorrowing outcasts, and lo! the Nazarene passeth by. The word fs . “Woman, thy faith hath made thee Glorious miracle. PFitting clhnax to an absorbing story. And beautifully presented on the stage. Of the more spectacular features of the play the tableaux and the general setting, it may be enough to say that all fairly re- deem the promise. The scene on the gal- ley 1s very realistic, the chariot race is suffictently thrilling to stir the most slug- gish blood and the tableaux of the pro- logue is a fitting suggestion of the meet- ing of the wise men in the desert and the bursting forth of the wonderful star of Bethlebem. Choruses and ballets are well drilled and move with preciéion, which is the essential element of success where so many are grouped on the stage. Incidental music s attuned to the spirit of the scene presented, so that all the coloring of the stage picture is barmonious and effective. Of the mctors themselves, while Mr. Farnum has the herolc role and Is well fitted for it by personal gifts, the work of Mr. Dodson Mitchell Simonides, the faithtul servant of the House of Hur, Is terplece. He has the really to enact and does it with the grace and force of a finished actor. Miss Mabel Mortimer as Iras seemed the embodiment of the Egyptian who had no thought save for hersclf, the antithesis of gentle Esther, whose sole thought was for the man she loved. Basll Gili is accepta- ble as Messala, and at times Mr. Kelly lifts Malluch above the level of the plece “Bon Hur" will continue the rest of the week, with matinees Wednesday and Sat- urday. In paesing it may be well to note that tl arning that the curtain rises at § o'clock should be heeded by those who wish to see the beautitul opening tableaux. Some hundreds missed it last night. also a goodly portion of the firet act, not ta speak of the annoyance they caused others by carelessly strolling into the theater a few moments after 8. In the present instan 8 o'clock means § o'clock and not & quar- ter after. Oberlin Glee C) A large and fashionable audience greeted the members of the Oberlin College Gloe club Monday evening in the First Congre- gational church and in return for the ex- cellent program Which was rendered showed enthusiastic apyreciation. Those who ex- pected to hear college sing-songs were most agreeably disappointed, as all the numbers were classical and showed the fine training and culture which the members bave enjoyed at Oberlin’s conservatory of music. The classic as wel as the college spirit whieh was injected into the program was heartily enjoyed by the large audience. Encores were numerous. Every number sung was applauded to the echo, lending an enthusiasm to the members of the or- ganization, which was plainly manifested in thelr chorus numbers. Following the concert an informal recep- tion was held in the pariors of the eburch, at which time the audlence met the mem- bers of the club, after which light refrosh- ments were enjoyed. Established 1823. ~ WILSON WHISKEY. TEE WILSON DISTILLING belmoie Ma ha That’s All! was a very simple matter, for it required but one ballot to decide the question of the presidency’ and two for the choice of vice president. As prescribed by law, the meeting was salled to order by the secre- tary, who announced the presentatfon of the oaths of office of the new members, W. H. Butts, Dr, W. H, Christle, George D. Rice, John O. Detweller ‘and Ed H. Lower. Johnson on First Ballot. For the purpose of the election J. J. Smith was then chosen chairman pro tem. and on the first ballot for the presidency Theodore Johnson recelved eight votes, Mr. Maynard six and Mr. Stubbendort one. Mr. Johnson, having received a majority, was declared elected and called to the chalr. In taking that seat he spoke very briefly, expressing his gratitude to the board for the honor and etating that it should be his aim to treat all fairly. He fully real- ized, he said, that the appointment of committees would be a dificult duty to perform with general satisfaction, but in making his selections he would endeavor to be fair to all without regard to politics. The committees should be non-partisan far as he could make them 8o and he hoped they would remain so. He hoped that there would be no factions or cliques in the board. On the first ballot for the office of vice president Mr. Funkhouser received seven, Mr. Maynard six and Mr. Smith two votes, and there being no majority, a second ballot was necessary. This showed the necessary elght votes for Mr. Funkhouser, with six for Mr. Maynard and onme for Mr. Smith, and Mr. Funkhouser was declared elected. To Revise the Rules. The rules of 1902 were temporarily adopted for the guidance of the board until a revised code could be prepared and adopted, and later fn the evening the board adopted a resolution by Mr. Stubbendort providing that all members baving revi- sions and amendments to the rules to pro- pose shall submit them in writing at the next meeting and that the committee on rules report upon these proposed changes at the next following meeting. The rules s last printed in 1900 have been very ex- tensively amended and have become very much complicated. The resignations of Miss Katherine 8. Rueff, now at Oak Park, Ill, and Miss Mary Lehmer, as teachers in the public schools, were both accepted, and the leave of absence of Miss Harriet B, Swobe was extended from January 1 to' June 1. On recommendation of committee, consisting of Mary A. Fitch, J. F. Woolery and Clera F. Cooper, cer- tificates as assistants in the primary and grammar grades were granted to six of the candidates recently examined, certificates as pald assistants in kindergartens to four, and a certificate as kindergarten director to one. Chrixtie Presents Resolutions. A resolution by Dr. Christie, endorsing the work of C. E. Watson as deputy labor commissioner of the State Labor bureau and setting forth that the board would be pleased to see him continued In office, was adopted. Another resolution was introduced by Dr. Christle, suggesting that the law regulat- ing the attendance of children at school be so amended as to require at least six months’ attendance in eack year and to fix the age limit at fifteen years, and also to provide that no child less than 14 years of age shall be engaged in any regular and systematic labor. This was referred to the judiciary committee. Mr. Homan presented for the approval of the board a draft of a law the purpose of | which is to reduce the legal rate of in- terest of school warrants of districts In metropolitan cities from 7 per cent to § per cent per annum. This was approved. Premium on Tre Bo A bill eubmitted by Mr. Funkhouser for approval, proyiding that the school district shall pay the expense of the bond of the city treasurer furnished by him as treas- urer of the school funds, was lald over to the next meeting. The other members of the board have all signed a petition to Mr, Stubbendorf commending in the highest terms h's ad- ministration of the office of the chairman of the committee on buildings and prop- erty and urging him to accept a reappoint. ment. This petition was prepared and signed before the election of the president, and the members feel sure that Mr. Stub. bendorf will be influenced to accept the chairmanship of the committes for another year.

Upon the election of speaker, he goes on to tell us, a committee of two should be appointed to escort him to the chair. Then follows the selection of other elective officers, notification of the other legislative body and a joint com- | mittee to notify the governor, with ad- journment to a fixed time for hearing the outgoing governor's message and canvass- ing the vote. It is presumed this program will be | strictly followed, except that there being | Do threatened contests, the credentials com- mittee may be dispensed with. Lieutenant Governor Steel has come up to perform his part in calling the senate to order, and ( everything about the legislative halls is ready for the performance to begin. at the Capital Governor Mickey has been absent during all of the preliminary legislative skirmish- ing. He went home to Osceola Saturday and will return to Lintdin tomorrow pre- pared for the inaugural formalities, Governor Bavage will leave about the 15th on & trip to the coast with a view to spying out the land for a permanent loca- tion. He seems to have given up the idea of realizing on the promise of a federal appointment made as one of the induce- ments to the Bartley pardon. His family, however, will remain in Lincoln for the winter, and even if he decides to trans- plant himself to the coast, the removal will not take place till spring. The story is told here in Lincoln with reliable authority that Congressman Mer- cer has asked the two senators from Ne. braska to joln in recommending him for some federal position that will take care of him after his term expires, March 4. He s not particular about (he kind of job, providing it pays well. The senators, at last accounts, were still considering the proposition. Senator J. M. Cox of Hamilton is a brother of ex-Representative Levi Cox of Douglas and a third brother, J. Cox rep- resented Hamilton county in two successive legislatures, the eighteenth and nineteenth, some years ago. Senator Cox says that whenever any member of the family finds Rimself without something to keep him particularly busy his neighbors pick him up and pack him off to the legislature. Representative Nelson of Douglas is lo- cated with an old-time friend who lives out toward the suburbs of Lincoln and who told him to make himself perfectiy free in com- ing home any time up to midnight. Sunday, however, he preferred to spend the night at the hotel, as about the time he was ready to start home he discovered that Lincoln street cars observe the Sabbath by golug to bed at 10:30 p. m. Ex-Representative Hibbert of Gage, who bas been canvassing for the place of ser- geant. rms of the house, had a peculiar experience in soliciting the support of Rep- resentative Koetter of Douglas. It seems Hibbert was in the legislature of 1899, when Koetter was one of the house employes, and greeting his old friend he exclaimed, “Well, down here are you to get your old place again?” Just then someone gave him the tip that the situation was reversed and that Koetter had been promoted to be a member of the house, whose vote he should bave in his candidacy for sergeant-at-ai Needless to say that Hibbert apologized a quickly and gracefully as he could.
