ACADEMY OF FINE ARTS Beginning a Work of Which Great Besult are Expected AN EMINENT PORTRAIT PAINTER J. hnitrlo Wallace's Picture of lion George , IjInliiKcr Oiunlia nil Art Center. 'In this beloved , beautiful , but sometime : foggy and too of ten not very brilliant countt ; of ours , " says that delightful essayist , LolRl Hunt , speaking of the "tight little Island,1 "ivo are not fond enough of colors no fond enough of a beauty of which Natun herself la ovldontly very fond and witi which , lllto nil the rest of ' her beauties , it litho the business of civilized man to ailorn nni to Improve his own well being. " It was thi blue sky and clear air of their native lam which have tnado the Italian painters si famous for coloring ; and Reubens am Mattcau , like wisn men , saw the good ol transferring the beauty to the less fortunate cllmato of Klanelers. Huskln , In hi * wisdom yet nevertheless the udvnnua agent o Tumor , gives the same mead of pralsi to that great English painter , who was to an what Wordswortn was to the literature o : our niothor country. Yut 0110 cnnnot help but contrast now atk than the tonal qualities of the works of tin eminent painters of Ilia old world , with Ihost that have co mo from the brushes at the mot : who owe their art to the associations of th < now. now.Hitch year sees a broadening Influence al work , a bringing together of brilliant minds upon the subjects which lie ncaro.it the hour of the artist , and through tnis ever widening power must como a condition whtcL until now has only boon aroamod of Time was when but two or three solf-constl uted painters endeavored to teach the great truths of art In Omaha , but the leavan bus boon at work and the nursery of the old days has given way to a school room of painting which cannot fall to make ttiis young giani of the northwest a force In American art. The Impetus which Hon. Ueorgo W. Lin- Inger and men of his stamp have given to art matters cannot help but have an influence for good , and in their collections of the olc and modern masters , a glimpse of what is tc be in the future Is aeon. Omaha has 111:100 : glgantlo strides In hoi material welfare in the past decade ; there arc Justus potential forces at labor to brinp about a like condition In its intellectual life , Artists wno represent the bbst , thought and feeling of the modern school are being attracted thither and Chicago , which bus for years occupied an unrivalled supremacy in the polite western world , sees in the grow ing cities of the north and west candidates for the position she has long occupied us the hena font of western culture and rellneraont , and in this refinement all have played no Inconsequential part. Last full J. Laurie Wallace , with the prosigo of an art education won in the besl technical school in this country , the Phila delphia academy of line arts , caine to Oinahn to conduct a similar institution upon a loss exalted basis , but still of sufllciont moment to command the attention of artists and ar pupils throughout the west. A gentle , modest enthusiast , slow to spcali of his own works , but with very decided aims and opinions , based upon bis observa tions and studies , Air. Wallace commanded respect from his ndVer.t In our midst. And ills only now that the nrt loving portion tion of the community have h.id u subject placed before them , painted by Mr. Wallace , of which tnoy could form an ostim ta of the merit of the man who was looked up to us a loader in his profession. The subject which will command the closest attention from the critic , the artist and the art lover alike is now on display in the Lin- inger gallery , a bust portrait of Onmnu's best known and most enthusiastic art patron , Hon. Ueorgo W. Linlnger. The artist shows in every line a knowl edge of his subject which is refreshing. Ho has painted it con amoru , und It is vor.v much questioned whether there is in Omaha todav u bettor bit of portrait painting by ono of thb moderns , than this. The modelling and val ues are good This is particularly apparent in the muscles of the forehoid. its relief and shiny , smooth skin , softened by a sheen which gives u moistened aspect to the face , delightfully refreshing. The colors are transparent and the whole ' has an atmosphere which Is the joy of tho' student in painting. There is a sketchiness about U , too , which deserves more than a incro mention on passant , especially in the manner of wonting out the buo ! smok ing jacket and skull cap which the subject wore during the sittings. There is a freshness too In its execution which shows how conscientious the man has been to arrive at the fountain head of all art , a glorllled imagination coupled with a tech nique which distinguishes the master from the mountebank. The background too is unconventional , the subject having been seated between the folding doors which divides the parlor of the Lininpcr house from the gallery , giving the painter uu opportunity to work in the deep embrasure of a window with daylight streaming in , a problem always dllMcult of solution and therefore not often attempted. Taken in its entirety Mr , Wallace hns shown himself deserving of being classed among America's most eminent portrait painters and an artist who cannot full to reflect credit upon the city of his adoption. But Mr. Wullaco cannot devote his time to portrait painting entirely , fyr ho will assume , on September 1 , the position of director of the Omaha academy of line arts , which has at last been taken under the wing of the Western Art association , an association In every way capable of giving such a school both financial and artistic encouragement. And the ofllcers of the Western Art associ ation will have tbo control over Uio affairs of the academy of line arts as they do over the older organization , The association Is ofllcered as follows : President , Ueorgo W. Lililngor ; vice pres ident , Charles S. Elguttor ; secretary , Mrs. K U. Browkloy ; treasurer , II. A. Smith. In membership the association numbers 300 , composed very lurcely of artists , al though there uro u number of art lovers not artists who have boon admitted to the "inner court , " With this force back of the academy failure hardly seems possible. On September 1 the school will open its season In the Williams buildln | > at the corner of Fifteenth niul Dodge streets , which Is now boiug fitted up for the use of the school , and when finished It will bo ono of tno most com plete itudlos In the countrv adopted for the accommodation of large classes. All the brunches of art taught In the Phila delphia academy will bo taught hero , a Ufa class will bo established , clay modeling will Do taught , sketch classes will bo organized and tbo school placed at once upon a high plane. When ono comes to consider the education to bo received the prices fixed for tuition uro very Insignificant. Ten dollars a month will glvo a pupil all the benefits to bo derived from an attendance on such a school. Five dollars will adcilt a nupll to the studio two evenings a week , and In addition glvo him the association of Mr. Wallace during that period. The prospects of the school are very flat tering already , nioro than ono hund'rod ar tists and students having signified their do- slro to bocoino Identified with a school pre sided over by J.

TormcA , Kan. , Aug. 15. [ Special to Tn BEK : | The announcement that Ed. Short c Oklahoma had publicly threatened to l Judge Uotkin of the Thirty-second Judicii district In the event that ho attempted t preside nt the trial of James Bronnai charged with killing Colonel Sam Woods r Hugoton , Juno ' ) , has occasioned the tlrs solicitude of Juilgo Botkln's friends for hi safety. Prior to the threats made by Sheri Judge Botkln had paid no attention to th manyjiuioyuious letters ho bad received Hirer toning his life or warning him of danger. I thn the eastern half of the state , but few pec plo bollovo that bo was In any way connccto with the killing of Wood and the charges o a conspiracy have bcon laughed nt. But a open threat from Ed. Short moans n grca doiil. Judge Botkln's statement that the funeral oral procession would stretch from Topok to No Man's Land If n hair of his bead wu Injured was made upon recelv ing tbo news that Short hue threatened his life. The ontlawr in southwestern Kansas tells the story'of Ei Short. Sam Wood wasindlssolubly counectei with Its crowth , Its County seat lights and It steals both largo and small Ed Short wa his friend and lieutenant. Ho was bold litho the days when lawlessness wa * supreme , am when there cumo evidences of civilization hi made for Oklahoma , where there was loss re stralut and better opportunities for men whi regard the revolver as judge and jury. Shor is now n deputy United States marshal a Kingfisher. Ho belongs to the Wooclsdali faction in the Stevens county lights , and si long as his crowd was largo enough to boll Its own In a dotlant , dare devil way , ho re malned with It. Short does not look a dos pprndo. Ho is n typical western dandy dresses in a dudish sort of fashion , is i fcnthcr-weight with blade moustache urn cold gray eyes and no rospocfor of persons It is his boast that Mr. Colt has mudo bin the equal of nnv man alive. Llko all dcspor ate frontier characters , Short has drihci from ono town to the other. His associatioi with Sum Wood Is u peculiar story , illustrat Ing'.bo character of both men and the cus toms on the frontier. In lh0 Sain Wood es tablished the town of Woodsdalo. Ho chosi tor his town marshal , Sum Hoblnson , a fron tier desperado , who had killed his man It Kentucky and who had achieved a ropututlor for so doing In n half-dozen western towns Ho was given n lots \Voodsdalo and a hole was built for him. Hobinson finally con eluded to run for sheriff , but Wood wouic not help him , and the two men quarrelled. I was then that Hobinson loft \\oodsdale foi Its nvul town of Hugoton , and tbo first step ; were taiicn which lead to the murder ol Sheriff Cross and posse in No-Man's Land , Hobinson promised tbo Hugoton people thai if they would move his hotel from Woods , dale ho would bo their town marshal , and the agreement was curried out. Wood knew there woulu bo trouble , nnd the only man in the entire west in his acquaintance who could cope with Hobinson wus Short , who was at that time in No-Man's-Lund. Ho was sent for , nnd accepted the position of town marshal of Woodsdalo. Hobinson hud not at that time taken thoofllco as mnrshul of Hugo ton and Wood concluded that ho would offer an Insult to the rival town. Ho wont to Hugoton nnd attempted to ruin the town well. Sum Hobinson , although not clothed with any legal authority , told Wood that ho must behave and warned him to leave the town. Ho did so , ana n fows- days Inter a warrant was sworn out in Woodsdnlo for Hobmson's arrest charging him with disturbing the pence at a political meeting in Voorheos township. The warrant was placed in Short's hands and two deputies < vcro sworn in to accompany him. Short rodn Into Hugo- ton nndstopping Infrontof Robinson's hotel , called him to the door. "I've a warrant for yourarrest"hosuidand drawing his revolver fired at him without giving him tlmo to re ply. Ho missed tire nnd Hobinson dodged inside the door. Short then put spurs to his horse and loft over the prairie for Woods dnlo. The two men who had accompanied him bad gene behind the hotel , thinking that Hobinson would run in that direction , but as he did not ho escaped unhurt. A mob then collected in Hugoton to give chase , nnd the kwo deputies , who hart driven across the country in a buekbonrd , only escaped by cutting their tugs and beating a hasty retreat. Short subsequently made another unsuccessful attempt to nrrost Hobinson in No Man's land nt.d it was while this oxcite-nont was on that the posse led by Hobinson cumn upon Sheriff ( Iross nnd party and murdered them. Hobin son after remaining in Hugoton for a short while wont to Colorado , robbed a postofllco , and is now serving a soventcon-year term In tbo penitentiary. Short returned to Woods- dulo but loft when Oklahoma was opened. Short was ono of the chief witnesses against the Cross murderers nnd has been a bitter enemy of Judge Botkln's over since that memorable trial. Judge Botltin will not attempt to preside at tht ) trial of James Brcnnau. Ho has an nounced , however , that ho will not hold court under the shadow of n bayonet and will pro test against the governor sending any militia to Stevens county when the case is called in September.

DoWltt's Llttlo Early Risers ; only pill to : uro sick hcadacbo and regulate the bt'/ols Injunction * In Courts , Judge Wakeloy hold court yesterday for bo purpose ot banding down decisions and loannir motions. A number of decisions la inltnportaut casot wore rendered , after vblch the Injunctions wore disposed of. In the restraining order obtained by Dr. Mercer to prevent the construction of tno Homis park sowera continuance was granted until Tuesday morning In order to allow the plaintiff to make a supplemental showing. In the case of llarnam against Douglas county and tbo city of Omaha n permanent Injunction was granted , Darnam owned twenty-six acres of land In the northern part of the city which was ascossod at S'Jrt.OOO. On the hearing ha showed that tbo land win assessed at several times Its actual value and that the county commissioners had refused to reduce the assessment. The treasurer Is enjoined from collecting the tax. The case of the Omaha driving park asso ciation ugainst the city of Omaha was ar gued and taken under advisement. This is a case In which the plaintiff served out a temporary Injunction restraining the city from changing the grade of Sherman avenue between Fort and Commercial streets. Tbo plaintiff alleges that the change of grade was ordered without first securing a majority of tliu foot frontage. John H. Taylor nnd Lomcla flntiny have brought suit against the county of Douglas n.sking for damages. The plaintiffs are resi dents of Waterloo precinct und allege that their property has boon damaged , owing to the county commissioners having ordered a road located upon their lauds.

The Impression has pained ground In Omaha , as in cities nil over the country , that business is almost nt n standstill und that the stringency In the money market hns blocked the wheels of trade to such tin extent that nothing Is being done. Especially Is this true of the retail trade and merchants on every sulo are beard complaining of dull tr.ido und slow collections , To such an extent is this true that the mer chants huvo acquired n lugubrious tone and appearance and It Is unusual to see one who manilosts u Jovial spirit. It is not strange , therefore , that Tun Bni : man's attention was attracted yesterday by the smiles which wreathed the face of N. B. Falconer und the apparently contented nppeuronco of that gentleman. Mr. Falconer was just coming out of his store on Doticlas street near Fifteenth and n glance inside sufficed to explain tbo cause of the gentleman's apparent satisfaction with nil the world. Every aisle in the spacious store was thronged with customers , and the largo force of clerks was kept busy supplyIng - Ing their demands. The first thing which attracted the eye upon entering the store was the largo In crease In space on the first lloor , the estab lishment having Increased In size by tlio ad dition of a store room on the west side , thereby mailing the first tloor GiixilW feet in size. Tills now part is excellently lighted by means of n lurgo .skylight and in'it are to bb found the blnek and colored dross goods , an extensive variety of silks nnd dross trim mings. This entire space is occupied by these goods and the well lighted room affords the ladies an excellent opportunity for ejf- nmlning both texture and color of the various fabrics. This now part of the store hns boon occu pied for a week but no flaming announce ment ot that fact had bcon mado. This seemed strnngo and Mr. Falconer was sought lor an explanation. Ho stated that he pre ferred to udvertisu reduced prices and let the people sco for themselves the many changes and improvements which had been mado. Tbo now addition wus opened Monday morn ing , ho said , and had been thronged over since. "Wo ore reducing our stock , " said Mr. Falconer , "and liuvo notified the public that rock bottom prices would bo the rule. The public has faith in our promises and , us a re sult , wo have been doing a rushing business all the week. " A further investigation showed that the centre ot the store was occupied by a lurgo nnd well selected line of gouts' fuVni-shing ladies' muslin underwear goods , hosiery , wear and corsets , while on the cast side were displayed a larco llni of linens , flannels , blankets domestics , and wash dross goods of nil kinds. A largo line of infants' clothing , including hand somely embroidered robes and other para- phorunlla calculated to rejoice the heart of the young mother , occupied a conspicuous place near the center of the store. The millinery and draping department have boon removed from the third to tbo second lloor , thus placing all the retail de partments on the tlrst two floors , while the third will bo used as a stock room and a wholesale department. Tlio store presents a very handsome ap pearance , being well ventilated and well lighted , while the elegant fabrics forming a part of the larco stock uro dliplayod in such * n way as to form an nrlistls decoration which is enhanced by the grace nnd beauty of the ncatlv attired salesladies whoso nim ble fingers display to'tho best advantage the rich goods.
