THE OMAHA DAILY BEE: TUESDAY, FEBRUARY 24 AFFAIRS AT SOUTH 0MAHA SITY UNABLE TO MEET RELIEF NEEDED Shortn and n Fosde Mampe Cry for Street Lights and Water Go Unheeded. | property owners in the distri While cast vl men erty ownen he pr the south portion o have organized t the purpose of securing improve- various kinds, it appears doubt ful if the cltwoficials can give any relief 8t the present time. The people in the section of the city mentioned want more eleciric street lights and more fire hy @rants. They also want the street car line extended from its present terminus to the county line. In speaking of this matter Inst night a city official said: “At the close of last month these was only $607 in the public lightiag fund and only $481 in the water fund. It can thus be seen that the ity 1 in 6o position et the present time 1o grant any requests for improvements of this kind in any part of the clty.” Mayor Koutsky said he wants to help out the southeastern portion of the city 45 5000 4 he can, as many small dwell- ings are being erected there. The people want lights and protection from fire. Un less hydrants are located water mains will not be laid, so it develops upon the city 10 order hydrante in order to supply the peaple with water for demestic use. Un- Jess there 1s a radical change in the eity charter there wiil be no improvements in this section of the city untfl the 1908 levy ie available As for the extension of the street car line a committee of eity officials and prop- erty owners will eall 1pon the officers of the street car company soon with en ur- gent request that the car line be extended It fs thought that the company will do this oh account of the constantly increastng traffic in this direction. In addition to the improvemenmts sug- gested the southesstern residents want Rallroad avenue placed in a passable con dition. About three times a year, and some- times oftener, this question comes up. The most that has ever been dobe was to run & prader gver the road snd round up the roadway. On account of the car tracks being in the middle of the road it s dif- ficult to keep the etreet in any sort of condition. What is wanted s macadam or a pavement of some sort. Should it be possible to secure money enough from any source to pave the street some arrange- ment with the street car company will be made whereby the tracks can be moved S0 as to take up only one side of the street. By such an srrangement, it is stated, the Tosdway from Q street southeast to the county 1imne could be kept in Srst-clas condition. Standpipe Lowered. The cighty-four foot standptpe which has #t00d on the hill west of the Union Stock Yards for the last eighteen years was low- ered to the ground yesterday afternoon withowt an accident. So carefully had the arrangements been made that thers was not a single hitch. Now the big pipe will be taken mpart and conveyed on cams to Omaha where it will bo wutilized by the company which purchased it. The ground taken up by the stack will be utilized by the stock yards company in making room for additional raiiroad tracks and for the extension of cattle pens. Grading for the additional tracks to come in from the west still continties hight and day. While the ground is frozen blasting is going on almost constantly, but with warmer weather in sight this will not be recessary much longer. Those who have the grading in charge expect to get through @uring April and then the ballasting for trarks will commence, to be followed later by the laying of four tracks from the Bur- lington upper yards at Thirty-ninth and- L stroets directly into the stock yards. By this change in tracks the Burlington can give much better service to the stock yards company and deliver livestock shipments at loss expense and with less delay than Reretofore.

William Spemcer, Crosby Ad- dresses the Members of the Woman's Club. Drawing on the ‘wealth of Wagner's “Rheingold,” Mrs: William Spencer Crosby | sought to imterpret and make understand- ble the language of music to the large number of members of the Woman's club and their friends, gatbered in the First Congregational church yesterday eveming. Mre. Crosby preceded the Wagner recital | by a short skeich of the history of music. She told of the earliest beginnings of mu- sical knowledge, when the tone vibrations and Narmonies first began o be noticed, and traced its growth through the middle sges by the chants of the monasteries and the folk songs of the peasants, to the time of the development of the fugue and the sonata. “Music is the language of emotion,” she sald. “Wagner believed thrt the emotions could be comveyed much better by tome than by word, and he had the idea that a certain tone comveyed the emotion in- tended; thus, barsh, discordant notes ex- pressed anger and harmonious chords, joy. | It seemed to this master that scenes and | words and music must all express the same | thing."” Mrs. Crosby went through the opera, in- terrupting her playing frequently to tell its story and explain how wonderfully the | music expressed tonally the senwe of the | book. She pointed out the comstant re. currence of the music of the various char- acters, following their varying fortunes, mow sweetly, again in minors or dis. cordantly. This evening Mrs. Crosby will continue her fllustration in the “Waulkure,” which in a second part of fhe “Rbelagold.” CLUB TO HAVE AN AUXILIARY jorth Omaha Improvers Notify Their Women Folks to Organise to Help Work.

The ball opened at 8:45 with a party dance by three dozen young pupils from Prof. W. E. Chambers' academy, who ex- ecuted difficult figures with an ease and grace that surprised ané" delighted the older folk. At 9:15 followed the grand march, participated in by all the costumed m: queraders and several whe were merely ‘masked. From it there was developed the ever- changing minuet, danced by twelve couples of young people, all in powdered hair and the rich robing of the court of King Henry v b At its conclusion those on the floor were wooed into the delights of the first waltz— and the fun began. Swashbucklers in fancy tights and gorgeous hats danced with quaint little Japs; Topsy in sackcloth and charcoal danced with a man of quality in a swell dress sult; the gir] in the black dress with the silvery comstellation thereon danced with a man who never sighted a telescope in his whole life; Spanish girls danced with Americanos who never got nearer Spain than a cigarette store; American belles danced with foreign beauz—in fact, every- | body in every kind of garb danced with everybody else in every other kind of gard, and kept it up, through various dances, until 10:45, when the names of the winning competitors were anounced end all bidden to unmask. Exalted Ruler Frank Crawford, just to show that he was a sure enough good fellow, wore four different costumes st various times and didn’t win a prize. Most of the other officers were busy with the management of the affair and elther could not mask at all or could wear only the false face Decessary to gala space on the dancing floor. At the stroke of 11 all rose and gave the Elks' salute to the bour. Because of {liness Judge C. T.

It was generally understood that what as known as the compromise bill would be'satistactory to the republicans. The democrats, while talking in & con- , said they had little bope epublican proposition would be acceptable to them. It is quite lkely that when this proposition is submitted, the democrats will have a conference.

The democrats say they want a provision fixing the date which will bring Arizoms into ‘the umlon. This would not be satisfactory to the re- publicans. While efforts fer a compromise continue, there are only a few senators who expect an adjustment to be reached, and the prospects of statehood legisla- tion are still remote. There was an earnest conferemce in the senate chamber after the adjournment, participated in by Semators Aldrich, Quay, Hanna, Foraker, McComas, Beveridge and Kean, when it was definitely decided that propositions for a compromise on two states should be submitted to the demo- erats. Senator Quay presented s memorandum | of the improvement features of the com- promise to Semator Bate, who will pre- sent it at a conference of democrats called | for 10 clock tomorrow.

CONETANTINOPLE, Feb. i —Tewfk Pasha, the minister of foreign affairs, noti- fled the Hungarian and Russian ambassa- dors today that the sultan had agreed to adopt the scheme for reforms in Mace- donia. CONSTANTINOPLE, Feb. 23.—The iden tical note on the subject of reforms in Macedonta, presentgd to the grand vizler | Baturday by the Austrian and Russian am- lands held by the allottees for permanent| oo igory was transisted into Turkish and improvements nor the persomal property | banded to the sultan the same evening.
