YOUTH LAUGHS
AS DOCTORS SAW
Young- Messenger Boy Watches Sur
(eons Take Ont Portion of His
Thigh Bone.
spinal anesthesia is used
While, surgeons sawed ont a piece,
of bone from his thigh several Inches
long, Frank ("Peg") O'Brien, yonug
messenger boy for the Hurry Messen
ger service on Douglas street, yester
day morning laughed and Joked as he
j watched the operation at St. Joseph's
hospital.
Several years ago O'Brien lost his
leg a few Inches above the knee.
The surgeons at the time were un
able to do a good job on, the stump,
and aa the young fellow pedalled his
bike with one foot on his daily
rounds afterwards he experienced
considerable trouble.
So yesterday Dr. T. T. Harris and
Dr. H. W. Whlteman took him to
the hospital and administered spinal
anesthesia,- paralyzing him from the
hips down, and allowing the work
to be done without pain to the pa
tient. By the time the effects of the
anesthetic wore off the surgical work
was finished.
Local surgeons say that aplnal
anesthesia Is a new practice In sur
gery, but a successful one. Very few
cases In Omaha hospitals, however,
have required It before.

"Liberty Girls"
At Gayety Give
Fetching Show
A rattling good male quartet, four
fetching Irish melodies, four fancy dogs
and some other groups or attractive or
unusual features are on the new bill t
the Gayety. Not to say that Jack Con
way and the other principals and the
frisky chorus are not pleasing also. The
foregoing group of special entertainment
are mentioned merely to Indicate that
the "Liberty Girls" show ha some ele-j
ments that are different, and that they
way is aiapenstng the same droll comedy
In the unsmiling but laugh-compelling
way that made him very popular last
season, and the rest of the company I
also "there with the goods" It I a treat
Just to watch Conway's bit of silent com
edy work in the second act.' whlrh last
night s big crowd applauded to the limit.
Just because It was such a natural and
strikingly funny portrayal of Irish charao -
ir im uacnen creates the opposite
form the quartet that can hardly furnlh
enough of its harmony and humor to sat
isry the audience. Ktta Joerns gets many
chance to encore with her unusual vocal
accomplishment, and Kathryn Dickey
ins a aerie or Irish melodies and other
ong hits pleasingly. Jennie Rosa la a I
floaste bundle of accentuated activity,
who out more lively capers in a minute
than one would expect In an hour. The
Flying Sherwood offer a sensational
aerial performance that leave the crowd
breathless between sets.
Neil O'Brien Has
Real Minstrel Show
At the Brandeis
Those theater-goers who spurn min
strel shows on the theory that no min
strel show ever was assembled that did
not contain the same old line of Jokes
and gags that have been In constant use
for a score of years, missed a bet If
they neglected to see Nelt O'Brien at the
Brandela theater Saturday.
For Mr. O'Brien ha himself written a
kit entitled "Darktown' Brave Fight
ing the Flames." and It Is a scream from
start to finish and la notably minus
the whiskered gags dcrrlcked from Joe
Miller Joke book. Mr. O'Brien ha often
been called America's leading ' minstrel
and when he wrote the Darktown sketch
he earned another title, that of Amer
ica' leadinjr writer of minstrel skits.
Mr. O'Brien, ef course, dominates the
show. Ills Inimitable style score an
Instantaneous hit. but his many assist
ants are able, and add much to the worth
of the performance. Eddie Master, Pete
Detael, Eddie Ross, Lasses White,
Charles Strong and a oore of other
easily demonstrate that they are lead
er of minstrelsy.
New Hotel Will Be
Built at Alliance

will be a hotel fully In keeping with the
rapid stride made by the city."

The development of the dry cleaning
establishment by Dresher Bros, at 1211-11
Fsrnam street during the lest five years
illustrates in a ooncret manner Omaha's

In the west, employing front 100 to ISO

system of pipes conveys the gasoline to
all departments. The tanks hold 4, M0 gal
lons. Al Dresher states the pipes alone
cost $1,600.
The new building has a frontage of
forty-one feet and has three stories and
basement. There will be 16,000 feet of
floor space and the work will be divided
Into eighteen departments, extondlng
from the cleaning of the most delicate
gown to an automobile cover.
Last week the Dresher received a lot
of drapertea from a Kansas City theater
for renovating. An Omaha man had a
$4,000 rug cleaned during the last few

Big Brick Bat
Rudely Interrupts
Dinner Dancers
Bang! Smash! Crash!
Consternation! KJaculatlonI Investiga
tion! It waa during the dinner dance, at the
Omaha club Saturday nlxht, with all the
elite sitting et the tablea In the ladles'
rafe, that without warning the noise
of sudden bombardment from outside In
terrupted the gayety, and a big. heavy,
Jaased brick came right through the
window facing Twentieth street, and
landed In the middle of a table, about
which eight of the gi.eats In gala attire
were arranged. The hi'. !iad cut through
t wire screen and window pane, and splin
tered the tableware, hut fortunately did
no other damage beyond frightening sev
eral women Into near hysterics.
The police were not fled, but by the
time of their arrival the miscreant had
disappeared and no clue remained to fol-
low up. The supposition Is that some-
body In a bad humor saw the merry
J making through the window and sought
' to stop It by heaving a brick.
