AK-SAR-BEN SHOWS
UP FOR DISCUSSION
George Brandels and Dad Wearer to
Go to Chicago to Look After
Amusement Feature.
MANY FEATfJEES SUGGESTED
George Brandpis, chairman of the
amuftement committee of the gover
nors of Ak-Sar-Ben, and Secretary
J. D. Wearer are to go to Chicago
Tuesday evening to meet with the
secretaries of the various state fairs
and carnivals from all over the
country. There the amusement con
cerns such as carnival companies
and show companies from all over
America are to hare representatives
who will show the secretarlea what
they have and book a lot of events
for the fall. The Omaha men hope
to get definite Ideas on some lines
of entertainment for the Ali-Sar-Ben
carnival In the fall.
Work on the bulldin of the floats for
the tils parades thil fall Is to Start
esrlier this year than ever before. Otis
Heme, who hss Just returned from New
York and other eastern points, full of
Idaas for his contraptions at the. den
and also of parade and fleet Ideas, la to
start a force of men to work this morn
ing at the den building some of the
floats.
THI Kot "eleetea.
Xo announcement will as yet bs made
as to what the floats are to be, but It Is
aid so many floats will have to b built
this year that an earlier start than
usual ta absolutely necessary.
A lot of scenarios are to be written for
the prlsa or $100 offered for the best one
portraying the fifty years of history of
Nebraska. This Is Indicated by the
great number of prospective writers who
are dally telephoning Samson, aklnt
for detailed Information as to what is
expected In this scenario.
The membership of Ak-Sar-Ben al
ready runs well over the 400 mark. Only
the first BOO are exempt from the tor
tures of the Initiation, and there Is at
present something of a, scramble to get
within that limit.
Victim of Battle in
St. Louis Hotel Room
Expected to Recover
BT. IOUI3, Mo.. Feb. 1.-Dr. Albert
F. Johnson, who waa ahot and seriously
wounded In a hotel fight here last night.
In which four men took part, stilt waa
in a critical condition tonight, but
physicians believed ha would recover.
Dr. W, A. Kennerly of San Antonio,
Tex., who, according to the story told
by (Walter A. Dlerenbech of Clranlte
City, 111., plotted with Dtefonbach to
lure Dr. Johnson to a room In a down
town hotel, and . who waa out and
bruised In the struggle, waa released on
bond late today.
Charles Lody, an assistant In Pr. John
son'a dental office, also Involved in the
struggle, waa released on bond.
conflicting stories of the fight were
told by the participant today. Dr. John
son said that as soon as he entered
the hotel room, where he had been
summoned to do certain dental work for
the wife of Dlefenbach, who posed as
"Mr. Arnold," he was shot by Kennerly,
When Dr. Johnson arrived at the hotel
room he found that the story of dental
work to be done was merely a strategy
to get him there.
Dr. Kennerly denied having plotted to
lure Dr. Johnson to his room, and said
he waa surprised when Dr. Johnson en
tered.
The trouble between Johnson and Ken
nerly waa due to financial difficulties,
Kennerly claiming that - Johnson had
refused to pay a note for $2,500 and cer
tain profits from a dental parlor they
operated. Johnson said, that Kennerly
had "double-crossed'' him and that he

PUT PLEASURES TO
SIDE FOR CHRIST
Sr. Hopkins, at Trinity Cathedral,
. Scores Seekers of Worldly
Pleasures.
CLOSE OF EPISCOPAL MISSION
"The devotees of pleasure are con
stantly seeking something- nw, end to
day they are even yolns; back to th
pleasures and fashions of twentjr-flva and
fifty years aso, because they have com
pleted the cycle and can find nothing new
with which to amuse themselves." Thus
spoke Rev. John Henry Hopkins, D. D..
of Chicago, In his sermon at Trinity
Cathedral Sunday morning.
Rev. llopinks preached both morning
and evening sermons aa the final work
here In connection with the nation-wide
mlsrlon.
In the morning sermon he advised his
congregation to put Christ in their hearts
Instead of the pleasures of the world. He
pointed out that there is no satisfaction
In worldly pleasures, as each succeeding
one only calls for another.
Pat Pleasores Aside.
"Blessed are the pure In heart, for
they shall see God," was the passage he
sought to interpret. "Only thoae who
put pleasures to one side and put Christ
In tha center of their heart." he said,
"shall see Ood In the true sense."
He characterized the impure hearts.
Elinor Glyn
Who mote "THREE WEEKS" has
written a brand-new story
. She calls it 4 "The Career of Katherine Bush'
and it begins in the March Cosmopolitan.
If you read "Three Weeks" the mere an
nouncement of the new story is enough.
.V'
For that big short love-story won its way to
your heart because it might almost have been pour
story even before the frankness of it made the
world situp and rub its eyes.
Well the, world will sit up again when the
tale of Katherine Bush begins to unfold.
' ...
For, though Katherine Bush is a very unusual
girl, her case is not unusual
She, and other women who have made the mis
take she makes in the first chaptereven though
they make it unwittingly or. perhaps against their
wills, instead of deliberately, as she did have got to
be provided for in the big scheme of life.
Katherine Bush is about the most human
woman you ever met.
'Weighing carefully what she had to lose was
her mistake a mistake or a step?
What was it worth to her in after life to have
learned from Lord Algy, who' wasn't her husband,
how to eat oysters? And that in certain circles
one bathes every day?
Would he or she or anyone have been happier
or even better
If she had married him when he begged her to?
But maybe you don't like to read things that
make you Think
It begins in the March
Cosmopolitan
Just Out
and the pleasure looking, and pleasure
seeking hearts, as eccentric. He com
pared the lives of such people to a wheel
with the axel not In the center. "A train
rolling along on such wheels would be
wrecked immediately and dlssster would
result," he said. "If we shosld try to
ride in a waann with such wheels we
would be Jolted out of our very exls'ence
In a short time. Yet there are thousands
of people who are dally Jolting along on
eccentric wheels because their lives are
not pure, not rounded out with Christ In
their dally life."
Scores rlaslaeaa Mea.
The minister scored the business man,
who says he Is too busy to go to church.
"We have all heard It before; Ood hsd
heard It many times," he said. The busy
man tells us every moment of his time
Is tsken at the office all week, and that
on Sunday he must get out and get air,
that he cannot be crowded Into a stuffy
church. But watch him. ' Perhaps the
buplness falls, as I am told M per cent
of the businesses do fail, and out he goee
Into darkness with the spirit of self
destruction In his heart, because only
the business was In his heart. Instead ot
Christ.
