Paving brick of rich , dark color has lieen substituted for ordinary brick at Die hist moment In the plans for the now $10,000 Carnegie library building , for which excavating Is now being done nt the corner of Norfolk avenue and Eighth street. The additional cost will be about $300 , but It Is be lieved that this small sum can be raised without difficulty , in view of the fact that the Improvement In the appearance of the building will bo very great. This was determined by the building committee of the library board after consultation with Con tractor Woerth last night. To Mrs. George D. Buttorfleld , who Is a mem ber of the board , Is due credit for ac complishing the change , as It was her suggestion which finally prevailed in the matter. The building will now have the ap pearance that was originally planned for it , with paving brick and white stone trimmings. When the board found , some weeks ago , that the build ing would cost considerably more than the $10,000 which Mr. Carnegie will give , a number of features were elim inated to save expense. Among the features stricken from the plans for a time were both paving brick and stone trimmings. Efforts in behalf of both these fea tures were finally successful , however , in re-establishing them in the plans , and the building will look , when fin ished , much as the first draft of plans contemplated.

Mr. Carlson , during the program , will put bin draft stallion , Nicolas * , against any draft stallion In the world for the llvo best foals. This stallion , which is 14 years old , has bred 300 foals this year , Is a buautlful animal and is the sire of the yearling which was sold for $2,000 recently and for which its owner now has been offered $3,500. A brother of this yearling Is now stalled at Mr. Carlson's barns on East Main street and , with the small est stallion In the world , which Is 3 years oltl and weighs 300 pounds , will bo among the number of horses which Mr. Carlson will have on exhibition at the horse show here. A Belgian stal lion and a black Shire , both of which arrived In Norfolk direct from Europe in March , are also among the number. Mr. Carlson has been studying the horse for thirty-one years , and at onetime time purchased 100 Indian ponies , which were destroyed by him In his search for knowledge of the animal. An artificial breeder has been In vented by Mr. Carlson nnd patented , celled by him the "capsule system. " This new device for breeding horses Is a very now Invention nnd has been used with the greatest success and re ceived with great enthusiasm by the Kansas City veterinary college , at which Mr. Carlson lectures each week on scientific breeding. Mr. Carlson Is so far advanced in scientific breeding of horses that he can pick out of most any number of horses those which are breeders and those which are not. In Kansas City ho surprised the professor of a veterinary college and a number of others when out of forty-threo horses ho selected three breeders. "Norfolk , " said Mr. Carlson , "is the best place In the west for selling breeding horses , on account of the railroad accommodations , and I expect very soon to have a live stock exhibi tion in this city. " The Carlson barns arc a very inter esting place , kept in the most sanitary condition , nnd those interested in horses can see many beautiful horses hero when the shipment Mr. Carlson expects soon arrives.

"There is no reason why this cam paign should not bo a success. " said Sir. Bailey last night. "On the last night at Lincoln there was great ex citement created over the raising of the money for the new building there , and wo not only got the $100,000 nec essary , but $5,000 more. This cam- pnign here will be on the same plan as In Lincoln. There is no reason why you cannot have this building here. It all depends on the people of Norfolk. If they want the building I will do all In my power to get It for them. Many other towns around Norfolk , and even Lincoln , are watching this campaign for a Y. M. C. A. building hero.
