chuck for $5,000 from the financial agents Of

library. With the money received yester
day $40,000 of the $30,000 haa been donated.
Aa the building Is tar from completion
members of the library board are beginning
to retrench In order to make the balance
still due yay for the structure. The delay
In receiving the book atacka la retarding
the work a great deal. While moat of the
flooring haa been laid aotne portions can
not be completed until the stacks are In
place and the csrpentera working on the
Interior work are being held back, aa fit- j
tlnga cannot be put In until the atacka are !
In place. At present it looks as If the
building would not be completed much be
fore sjrlng. The rontractora who are at
work aay there la no telling when the
building will li ready to turn over to the
city. In the meantime the library board la
buying books and la paying for storage
until such a time aa the building la ready
for use.

City officials were wearing overcoats in
stead of smiles yesterday and It was all
caused by the low temperature In the city

waa an Imposition to keep prisoners in a
JaJl where there waa no heat. Those con.
fined for minor crlmea were turned loose
with Inetructlona to report to the police
judge this morning. 'Steps will be taken
today by the city officials to start the heat

PROFESSOR GLEAS0"nC0M1NG
Five Exhibitions ot His Wonderful
Power to Be Glvea at the
Auditorium.
The recent Horse Show has had a ten
dency to awaken quite a horse Interest in
Omaha and now we are to have the na
tional horse expert and educator. Prof. O.
R. Gleason, at the Auditorium for a series
of five exhibitions beginning Tuesday night,
October 1L
Prof. Gleason Is said to be the highest
expert horseman of the world and the pub
lic and press of various cities are unani
mous In their praise of his work. The fol
lowing is an extract from the Boston Even
ing Record:
"Prof. Oscar R. Gleason opened the sec
ond week of his exhibition of horse train
ing last night in the Winalow rink with an
audience of over 4,000 people nnd 2,000 more
were turned away. Prof. Gleason gave a
wonderful exhibition. His power over vi
cious horses is something marvelous. After
he had handled several nervous and vicious
horse the feature of the evening was when
he handled a horse which has killed one
man and nearly killed two others. He
spent over an hour and a quarter In con
quering the animal, and during that period
was kicked in the leg so severely that he
was carried from the ring. With great
courase he returned limping to the ring
and continued to work. During the entire
performance the audience waa In an uproar
of applause. Finally when the trainer was
nearly exhausted the animal waa con
quered. Prof. Gleason, notwithstanding his
accident, will continue bis exhibition aa
usual."
The professor while at the Auditorium
will handle some very vicious horses. Sev
eral have been secured already by his
agents and among them are said to be two
man-killing stallions.

"David Carrier's Love," at the Boyd.
A play in three acts, given in Omaha for
the rim time, by the following cast:
David Garrick Walker Whiteside
BImon Paxton Mr. Ptitherlnnrt
Felix Sparks Mr. Evart
Montmorency guilt u ;ur. eiom-
Pipkins Mr. Siebert
Dobbins Mr. Nicewender
Mrs Jontmorency Smith Mips Church
Araniintha Brown Miss Pierce
Helen Paton Miss Wolstnn
Mr. Whiteside's new play Is of the
old sort framed in architecture like Sheri
dan and other dramatists of his time used.
The actor is thoroughly charming and de
lightful, but the play, beantifully and del
icately staged, nowhere permits of great
acting. It does, however, give Mr. White
side opportunity for ubtlle and finished
work. His artistic genius maktis the piece
charming. His Omaha friends, and there
are many of them, were present in larger
numbers than might have been anticipated,
owing to the electrical parade and the fact
that the curtain did not rise until 10 o'clock.
David Garrick loses his heart suddenly to
the daughter of a rich merchant, who is
equally entranced with the actor, the fore,
most of his profession in England. The
father, material and gross, has arranged
a marriage with one. Sparks, in line of a
lordship, and regards the actor as neces
sarily an Individual Implying everything
but respectability. He pleads with Garrick
to leave England so his daughter may be
disentangled. The actor listens, amused,
but half compassionate and at last pro
poses to disillusion the daughter at a din
ner in the merchant's home, not knowing
that the girl is the one he loves. Of course
he dlscovera the fact, but it is too late to
withdraw, and, goaded on by the father,
who remlnda him of his prom Lie, Garrick
play the drunken cad. The girl is horri
fied, but her love does not dlfipolr. Acci
dentally she learns how Garrick has been
untrue to himself. A way is found to make
all end happily. Pparka, the mercenary, Is
made ridiculous by Garrick In a duel.
In the second act, where Mr. Whiteside
acts the actor who Is acting, his real
ability la elven some chance nnd Interest
Is well sustained. But the concluding
chapter Is Ironed out so smoothly and in
such a commonplace way that It Is disap
pointing. Garrick Is altogether the central
figure and seldom la off the stage. Mr.
Whltoslde'a wonderful voice and his grace
ful mannerisms, together with a by-p'ay
of wit and humor, are thoroughly enjoy
able. He is supported by a capable company.
Miss Wolstan in the part of Helen Paxton
Is handicapped by the fact that the role
is too submerged and gives insufficient pre
sentment of the character. Mr. Suther
land and Mr. Evart are excellent.
The play is redolent of chivalry and
sentiment and as enacted appeals to the
finer side. Performances will be given to
night and Saturday matinee and evening.
"Fablo Roman I" at the Km.
The spectacular and thrilling melodrama,
based on one of Marie CorreJU's lurid
novels, is receiving adequate presentation
for the remainder of tbe week at the Krug.
A big audience that even Ak-Sar-Ben ex
citement could not detract from, displayed
evidence of entire approval with the initial
performance last night. The play moves
around a faithless wife, a false friend and
a noble, though revenge inspired husband,
who comes back from the grave to punish
the pair who have betrayed him. In his j
final act of revenge he too is stricken, and
with the erring wife buried alive by an
eruption from Vesuvius. Several other re
markable stage pictures are shown pre
vious to the finale. The title role Is in the
hands of Arthur Stanley, a finished actor,
while Ella Allen has the difficult part of
the heartless wife.

M'CORD-BRADY'S OPEN HOUSE
Bis Wholesale Grocer Entertain Vis
itor for Week at Their
Big; Store.
McCord-Brady company haa been kocplng
open house all week and yesterday it im
mense establishment was crowded from
morning until night with out-of-town vis
itors and customers. At different points
throughout the great store stations were
Introduced to the visitors, tables bounti
fully provided with the good things of the
establishment and presided over by accom
modating young women. Probably 600 peo
ple lunched with the house yesterday. The
menu offered with open-handed hospitality
Included many delloacle and not a few
substantial. Before reaching the tables
the guest waa escorted past the agricultural
exhibit applea from Sheridan county, po
tatoes from Saunders, squash from Sher.
man, fruit from Boone, corn. fat. rip
ears, from Merrick and Tork, and other
products from various part of the slat.
Tb location of the luncheon stations I
made it necessary for the visitors to traverse
tbe half mile f store floor la order tj !
reach the edible, and in doing thla th
working and immensity of th establish
ment was opened up before them. It Is
safe to say not one of tb guest paaaed
the great peanut roaster without helping
himself or herself. It la one of the rules
of the house that peanut ar at all time
available to the visitor. The supply was
large enough to feed the Ak-Sar-Ben whai
for a month or two.
Today and Saturday McCord-Brady will
keep open bouse, and tbe peanut roaster,
tb pancak baker and tL cigar ooucter
host will be very busy.
If there 1 any doubt in the minds of
those who contributed to the new build
ing fund of the Young Women's Christian
aasoclation of the worthlneaa or necessity
of such a building, a visit to the central
rooms In the Paxton block this week would
aufflce to dispel It. The rooms are literally
headquarters for the hundreda of women
from out In the state and from Iowa, who
ore In town this week, besides the hun
dreds of business women and shoppers
who use them every .day of the year.
There are not chairs or couches enough
in the rest rooms and the lunch room Is
taxed to Its utmost to aerve the crowd.
So far thla month an average of 655 wo
men have been served-daily at an
I ' vwvd vat.,,, miu im cBLimaieu that
fully 2(10 have gone away each day, unable
to wait to be served.
