ur-lvt; Ottlclul Notification
Mimlo City .rnii,
Information reached the Hoard of Edu
cation a few days ago to tho effect that
several saloon were operation- without a
license. This Information caused a mo
tion to prevail directing the secretary of
the. board to at once notify tho council of
this fact and at the same tlmo make a
demand for the license money duo the
school district. It has been stated to the
board that seven saloons were running
without n license and that only onf- drug
store In tho city had compiled with tho
law.
An Investigation of thn records In the
city offices shows that tho city treasurer
has received tho license fee from clghty
teven naloons and ono drugstore. Hy tho
payment of this license money JST.fUO ha3
been turned Into the school fund.
Slnco May 1, when all liquor licenses
expire, tho city council has ordered Is
sued ninety-one liquor llrcnscs for sa
loons nnd one druggist llemsc. The ap
plications show that four saloons are run
ning without n license and at least six
drugstores have not made nny attempt to
comply with either tho stato law or tho
city ordinances.
TJp to last night the communication from
tho Ilonnl of IMucatlon had not been re
ceived nt tho ofllce of tho city clerk, but
It Is expected dally.
When this matter wns called to the at
tentlon of Acting Mayor Adklns yesterday
nfternonn he announced emphatically that
If tho noaril of IMucatlon would furnish
him with a list of tho saloons running
without a license ho Would havo such
places closed nt once.
Continuing on this suhject the acting
mayor said: "It Is an Injustlco to the
saloon men who liavo paid their $1,000
license fee to permit tho operation of any
.saloon without a license. As soon as tho
matter Is called to my nttentlon omclally
I propose to order tho chief of police to
close such placrs until such time ns the
llcenso money fn paid Into tho city treas
ury."
For years past the druggists have vlo
lated the law by neglecting lo apply for a
llcenso. which costs $10, nnd tho school
district 1b tho losor. Attorney Dreen of
the Hoard of Education stated yesterday
that ho would, If directed by tho board.
proceed nt once ngalnst tho liquor dealers
nnd druggists who nro operating without a
license.
With four saloons running without cro
dentlals tho school district Is kept out
of the uso of $1,000. Tho district needs
thlB money and members of tho board
say that tho llcenso must bo pnld, or else
the saloons In question must closo.
Cltihltinr Ii Street Vlnditct.
The announcement has been made that
tho L street viaduct will bo closed on
Monday for about sixty days. Ily tho clos
lng of this bridge vehicles destined for the
stock yards will bo compelled to uso cither
tho L street viaduct or else the grade

viaduct Is considerably out of tho way, the
P street crossing Is moro so. No teams
will be allowed to cross th tracks at the
foot of N fitroet, the stock yards company
having erected n fonco on tho west sldo
of the. trncks to prevont teams from cross
lng. It Is reported that tho stock ynrds
company will place tho I, street viaduct
In first-class condition during tho tlmo It

this brldgo at once, as It Is In a dilapidated
condition.

At Monday night's meeting of tho council
n dozen or moro motions wcro passed In
structlng tho commissioner to make, certain
street or sidewalk repairs, but ho has been
so busy that tho recent orders havo not been

This Is circus day afternoon and oven
lng with a rlproarlng parade this morn
ing for a starter.
The route which the parade will traverse
Is as follows: Starting from Twentieth
and Paul streets, on Twentieth to Cuming;
Cuming to Eighteenth; Eighteenth to Dav
enport; Davenport to Seventeenth, Seven
teenth to Dodge, Dodge to Sixteenth; Six
teenth to Douglas; Douglas to Twelfth;
Twolfth to Farnnm; Farnam to Sixteenth;
Sixteenth to Dodge, Dodgo to Seventeenth;
Seventeenth to Davenport; Davcuport to
Eighteenth; Eighteenth to Cuming, and
from thiro back to the show grounds. Tho
parade starts at ! o'clock a. m.
The afternoon performance will begin at
2 o'cock; doors open at 1 o'clock. Even
ing performance begins at S o'clock; doors
open an hour earlier. Tickets aro on talo
nt Kuhn's drug store, Fifteenth and Doug
las streets, at tho aame price charged on
tho grounds. U was tho Intention to moro
fully cover Sixteenth streot with the
parade, but the bad condition of that thor
oughfare prevents.
Tho dead walls of tho town and the
columns of the newspapers have announced
the clicus for soveral weeks. The small
boy has been a dream of good behavior.
It Is "Yes ma'am" nnd "No sir" from
morning till night, and tho cheerful way
In which ho runs errands and obeys tho
family orders to stay Indoors at night 1b
almost too good to be true. Ho Is tho
samo llttlo rascal, Just tho same. Ho Is
subject to these spasms when tho circus
comes along, for any boy, with a normal
heart, would stake his chances on wearing
n golden halo rather than miss the "world's
greatest."
This morning bright and early you will
find him at tho show grouudB, Twentieth
j and Paul streets, watching tho caravans
unload and trying to get a peep at the
I royal "skldlglous." If ho can only get n
chance lo carry water for the elephants
, ho will bo the happiest lad under the blue
1 canopy, and will stand under tho burning
sun until the ground curls up, without a
murmur.
Tho boy knows this show comprehends
about everything under the sun that comes
under the label of odd, strange nnd sen-
! satlonal. He knows It has three rings,
two big stages, a racing track and about
every typo of rare wild animal that Is
known. He does not need the pictures of
tho windows asd walls to post htm about
these matters, and In all probability can
tell the story better to his elders If they
aro curious about such wonders. He will
tell you glibly It takes sixty-five cars to
haul the big show; that twelve of these
are sleeping cars, two of them dining enrs
and ono an all-night lunch car. Ho will
swear that there are COS horses, 301 circus
riders, acrobats, trapczo performers and
so on In the performer line and that It
takes more than 600 workmen to put up
nnd take down and care for the properties
of the circus each day.
Tho Klngllngs aro western-born and full
of the ginger of tho soil. They have built
up their great enterprise from small be
ginnings. It Is now a national Institution.
They havo brought together one of tho
finest zoological collections In the world
and have recently added a giraffe. Tho
giraffe is the rarest and most expensive of
wild creatures. Tho Rlngllng Dros. have
over $20,000 invested In this specimen.
Thirty elephants, nearly twice ns many
ns arc In the United States outside of this
collection, arc nn Important feature of the
animal annex.
Among the circus features that stand
for pre-eminence is the marvelous riding
of Auiulla Feeley, a young slip of a girl,
hardly 18, who has acquired great tame
nbroad; tho Holoway trio, also of European
fame; John O'llrlen's slxty-one-horso act,
I.ockhart's and Souder's elephant come
dians, the Dacoma family, acrobats; tho

sault rider of tho world; Mllo. Tornour,

gymnast; William Devan, Australia's great
rider, and Jessie Leon and Labolle Carmen

faco, would sit on tho front seat near tho
driver and urge or bribe hlra to send tho
llttlo mules galloping.
The driver was a great, yellow-haired
giant, with blue eyes and a laughing
mouth. For Patricia ho would speed his
queer llttlo team till the car swayed like
a boat on running billows, and hor de
lighted laughter fell upon his willing ears
llko tho music of tinkling mandolins. As
for Anaolma, so long as tho car was empty
but for themselves, she was content to sit
In the rear seat, black, motionless and
alert, smoking her clgarcttos, ns Mexican

could havo said to tho big, fair Qrlngo
to mako him drive bin mules so fast, to
make him smile so benlgnantly.
Every summer evening till the chaparral
loat Its luster and the willows In .the river
bed began to scatter crackling leaves across
tho sands, Tatrlcla and her chaperon stole
away to this clandestine frolic on tho street
car, till It became tho event of tl.o gay
child's days nnd a habit even with the
withered woman who watched the harmless
liollc.
Ono night nc tho blonde American car
driver was laughing and thrashing over tho
road with tho laughing senorlta at his el
bow, a horseman with his rlflo presented
loomed across iho narrow road. Thi mules
hesitated, stopped, backed up In their
trace chains. The driver put down brako
and ceased to smile. He seized the switch
bar, bade Patricia ll down, faced the
ei.tmy.
"Money or cur life!" commanJed tho
outlaw In good English.
"You can hnvo tho box," roared the
driver, "but It you rob tho woman ynu
must fight."
Tho robber dismounted, boarded the car
nnd whllo Patricia and the old woman
looked on ho smashed In the money box
with the butt of his rifle and pocketed tr
few pitiful centavos that Jingled in th
bottom. If Patricia had left the car, or
drawn up her lace mantilla, or even
turned her face away, tho robber might
not havo teen tho diamond brooch glisten
ing at her throat. But the sight was too
much for him. The big American saw the
llac-h of his eyes as bo leveled his rltle, and
at the same moment the switch bar swung
nbovo his head. Tho rifle cracked, the
driver lurched over and fell In the dust by
the road and the robber held out his hand
to tho woman.

Episode.
She gavo them without a word, then her
watch and her ring, whllo the old woman
screaming like a harpy, clung to his ride
and cursed and prayed in Incoherent Span
ish, But tho robber had no notion of
harming them. Ho kicked tho fallen driver
ns he ran toward his horse, and In another
moment the clatter of hoofbeats across
the bowlder-strown valley told them that
ho was gono.
It was nearly dusk now and from the
Btalrwny a hundred yards off tho voice of
Jose del Casa could bo heard calling Pa
tricia. Sho paused n moment as she heard
It, then leaped to the ground and bent over
th-3 Insensible driver. With her small,
brown hand she pushed away the yellow
curls and bent her faco low above him. For
a moment old Anselma could have sworn
that the girl was kissing his white face,
but no, after nil, sho was only examining
with tear-wet eyes tho facial signs of re
turning life. Then sho unbuttoned the
Collar of his shirt, fumbled beneath Its
folds and snatching away a cluster of
trinkets that hung about his neck, thrust
them hastily Into her corsage.
Then old Del Casa and two of his ranche
ros camo up. Tho wounded man was
placed on a bench In his car. Tho mules
were hitched to the other end and one of
tho rancheros drove them back to Monte
rey. "Senorlta, mlo muchacha, what did you
tako from the Oringo? What was that
you snatched from his neck? Toll me,
pretty one, you did not rob him?"
Patricia's smile enma struggling through
her tears.
"No, no, Mother Anselma," sho mur
mured, "not so bad as that, but bad enough,
too. You won't scold me, will you mother?"
And she pulled from her bosom tho poor
car driver's cluster of trinkets. There was
a little medal of the Virgin, a tiny amulet
tho rello of Our Lady of Ouadaloupc, a
silken scapular and a golden locket.
"Look, mother, and forglvo me," said
Tntrlcla as she opened tho locket and dis
played a miniature portrait of herself, "I
gave It hlra myself, I was afraid they
might find It, and so, and so I robbed him
of It."
"But you will not give It back, Patricia?"
asked the Beared and staring old woman.
"Yes, mother, I'll give It back to him, and
more, too, mother. I'll give him that and
more everything when he's well,"
And old Anselma could only pray.

Contrlhntlon to World's
Literature,
Book sellers of Omaha report a greatly
Improved demand for books since the be
ginning of the month and 11 would appear
that the advent of cooler weather has
stimulated a desire once more to read, and
with tho very great and Interesting se
lection of new aud valuable works It ought
to be no trouble for anyone to find some
thing pleasing. The most Important work
of the week, so far, Is "The Portrait Col
lection of Short Stories," which with the
publication of Mr. Van Tassel Sutphen's
contribution to tho series Includes three
volumes. Tho rich yet tastefully orna
mented cloth cover, with portrait of the
respective author stamped In gilt has had
the advantage of a novel experiment In
binding which has pleased the eye and
proved generally attractive. It Is as hand
some a specimen of the American book
binders' newest art as one Is likely to
sec. The "Nineteenth Hole" Is the tltlo
of the third volume and Is from the pen
of that entertaining "golfogrsphcr," Mr.
Van Tassel Sutphcn. Mr. Sutphen, like
Mr. Hopklnson Smith, Is a man of various
action. He edits "Oolf" with one hand
and writes fiction with the other and when
both are disengaged ho plays tho gamu
Itself and proves himself a true sports
man in all three. Mr. Sutphen Is really
the pioneer In what might be called the
romantic literature of golf. Some three
years ago he published a collection of
stories called "Tho Coincide," which
though timidly approached at tlrst was
subsequently taken up by golfers, who
laughed over the book, whereupon others
not golfers caught the Infection. "The

Mnyno Lindsay, tho English novelist nnd
nuthor of "The Valley of Sapphires," has
put forth a new story under the very ap
propriate title, "The Whirligig." One thing
at least may be said In Its favor that
no reader will question; It Is different from
most everything elso that has been writ
ten. The hero of tho story Is one of those
citizens of the world who has lived In all
the great cities of Europe, but Is without
a home In any. He Is known as an English
man of a pacific character, a stranger to
love. In the rourso of his wanderings he
visits the small Oerman principality of
Amalla at the time that It Is in n political
fever caused by the reformers, hcAded by
a former Intimate of the ruling prince,
with whom he quarreled and organized the
reformers. This man, Count Oottfrled von
Inckc, nnd Bothfleld, tho Englishman, might
havo been taken for twins. This resem
blanco starts Botbfleld's ball or ex
perience a-rolllng and It never stops
unttl the talo Is finished. He Is Involved
In nn Intrigue, arrested, escapes and Is
about to nppeal to the British consul when
n faco In a window changes his whole
character and after life. Ho becomes on
the Instant a quixotic knight errant nnd
develops capabilities of loving nnd of fight
ing for his love that must havo surprised
him as much as they certainly do the
render of "The Whirligig." The face that
Inspires him Is that of the daughter of an
aristocrat and was seen by him In the
slums of the capital city of tho little prin
cipality. It develops that tho girl and her
father are In the power of the wicked
traitor, von Incke, Tho Englishman frees
his love from the power of von Incite on
tho second day of his acquaintance with
her. And the same day they become be
trothed. There Is sufficient excitement In
"The Whirligig" to satisfy the average
reader and the situations arc novel In most

Another beautiful book from tho Bureau
of American Ethnology Is now ready for
general distribution. It Is a history of tho
Kiowa Indians, by James Mooney, ono of
the most delightful writers of Indian lore.
In this case ho Introduces the render to the
Kiowa manner of keeping track of time and
events through tholr curious picture calen
dars. Mr. Mooney has spent years of his
life among various tribes, studying the
black art In medicine nnd tho curious re
ligion nnd religious symbols of tho various
tribes, but none has proven quite so Inter
esting as the Klowns, of which he writes In
the prcacnt publication. Like all others of
the publications by this bureau, no cxpenso
has been spared, nnd the book Is profusely
Illustrated with both black and white and
colored pictures, making It a work of art
as well as an Interesting study for students
of ethnology. In describing ono of the va
rious objects of religious veneration amoug
the Klowas, nil of them pictured nnd look
ing moro or less like fantastic feather dus
ters, ho says: "Tho 'Old-Woman-Undcr-the-Ground'
belonged to the Kincp band of
tho Klowas. It was a small Image less than
a foot high, representing a woman with
flowing hair. It was exposed at the sun
dance ceremony and by some unexplained
Jugglery the priest In charge of It caused
It to rile out of the ground, dance In sight
of the people and then sink Into the earth,"
A few years ago It was stolen by a crazy
Indian from thb priest who guarded it and
has never since been recovered, nlthough
there aro stories In tho tribe of hunters be
lated In tho mountains or beside unfre
quented streams who have caught a gllmpsa
of a walling dwarf with dlshovelod hair,
who vanishes aB soon as discovered, and la
