soldiers stationed in Omaha.
It has obtained the building for
meriy the Omaha Racket club, back
of'the Young Men's Christian associa
tion building. In arrangement
rooms it is exactly the thrftc wanted
for the purpose. It will be remodeled
and furnished with everything for the
comiort or the boys.
Harry Wolfe of the Kevstnn Rp

JTt possible for the Rotary club to
A obtain this building. Through the

i iic wnoie proposition was pre
sented to tne Kotary club at its regu
lar meeting Wednesday noon in the
Henshaw hotel. Stirring talks were
made by Dr. U is. Atzen, Dr. E. C.
Henry, John W. Welch and C. H
jcngusn iwenty-nve dollars per
memoer was tne subscription called
for. But when Secretary "Dan"
Johnson called for subscriptions, one
man jumped up and gave $100. Then
came a whole lot of $50 subscriptions
and then a great clamoring to be put
in tor jjo. lne money to equip the
club and run it for the first six months
was oversubscribed liberally.
Officers Strong for It.
The colonels commanding both
forts were interviewed on the sub
ject," said Dr. Henry, "and they are
heart and soul for it. They declare it
is one or the hhest ideas ever evolved.
Winter is coming on and, when the
soldiers come down town they
would have no place of their own to
ro and lounge about if it were not
for this club. This will be their own
where they can go and play billiards
or pool, or play the talking machine
or the piano player, or do just what
they please. Omaha has already made
a name, the soldiers tell us, for being
good to the men stationed here, and
this is going to raise the city higher
than ever with the soldiers."
To Contribute Furniture.

rious members of the Rotary club will
contribute furniture, rugs, phono'

Al Itcevts! 'Cause why? Last night through
some mishap at the power house every elec
tric light in the theater went out. Did it
cause the performance to come to a halt?
It did not, for ''ye'ur old pal, Al" was right
on the Job as a hero. He stepped on the
stage trom the wings where he was watch
ing the entertainment, took off one of his
rings containing one of tliose immense dia
monds that everyone envies him, lit a
match and held it behind the stone. Ample
radianre was thus secured until the electrics
again blazed up. Ladies' dime matinee
