SHORT STORIES OF THE DAY Dr. Qmnby Tells How 0. B. Signer Game to Lose an Arm , STRANDED CIRCUS COMES IN VERY HANDY IJntU'iiberK Ileliicd Out Cincin nati In a Fourth of July Celebra tion X. Illcdlrr Getn Even- Why He CIiniiReil llcaueat. Lewis Dallonborg , the genial manager of the Dellstodt-Ballenborg band , has been In terested In the band and show business for a good many years. One year In Cincinnati the glorious Fourth of July was near at band and no preparations had been made to make the eagle ecream. In their dilemma a committee of citizens got together nnd began to talk over plans. Ueinomborlng the fertility of Mr. Dallenborg In matters of that sort the committee waited on him and asked him for some suggestions. Ho was just 'tho ' enan. A circus hod gone broke in a town not far away , and there were fancy riders , high-rope walkers and other ehow people hanging on by the eye lids trying to get something to do. Mr. Ballonbcrg told the committee ho could fix thlnga at once and ho boarded a train for the town of the stranded circus. There ho burst like a smllo of providence upon the starving show-lies and soon had them in tow ready to give a glorious Fourth of July cele bration In one of the parks of Cincinnati. The flrat thing was to stretch a high rope over an artificial lake iu the big pleasure resort. While thla was being done ono of the directors of the park , a prominent Gor- jnan , came along and began to make in quiries. "I ay vat are you going to do mlt dot rope up dare ? " ho asked of Mr. Ballen- berg. "I am going to have ono of the men walk across there , " was the triumphant reply of the promoter of the celebration. "IJut , mlno Gott im ihlmmel , " excitedly exclaimed the old German , "ho vlll fall Into der Inge und drown. " "Well , " said Mr , Dallcnberg resignedly , "If ho docs there will bo ten thousand people ple who will be anxious to pay to got In lie re the next day and see where be fell In. " "Oh , ho ! " said the ohl German , as he etroktd his chin meditatively , and with Mrs. Ruth Borkoly , SaUrm , . , Bays : "Ono of my grandchildren hud n severe case of Scrofula , which Bprcnd and formed sores nil over her body , Her eyes were attacked , and wo fenrcd she would lose her sight. The best physicians treated her , but she grow -worse , nnd her case seemed hopeless. Wo then de cided to try Swlft'a Specific , and that medicine nt once made a com plete euro. She lias never had a sign of the disease to return , " ( Swift's Specific ) Is guaranteed purely vegetable , and will euro any blood disease It matters not how obstinate or deep- seated the caso. Valuable books sent tree by Bwlft Bpeciflo Oo. , Atlanta , G . that he walked away without saying any thing more about It "See here , listen to my story , or I'll have to give you a dose of ether , " said General Stanton to a companion to whom ho was relating n tale of two cities as they were walking down Farnam street the other day. The attention of the general's companion had toeen attracted by a very handsome woman on the opposite side of the street. After General Stanton had finished his story his friend took an Inning. "That other ex pression of yours reminds me of an Incident that occurred In Helena In the early days of Montana , " said ho. "The United States marshal was X. DIodlor. who waa quite a noted character and very long-winded in his story telling. Ono night In the barroom of the principal hotel ho started to tell one of Ills long-drawn-out yarns. One by ono the audience of thirteen men walked out of the place before the story waa half fin ished. Dlcdlor became very Indignant and swore ho would got oven. Ho swore out warrants for the arrest of the thirteen men on some fictitious charge and two hours later his deputies had the delinquents round ed up and locked in one largo cell of tha Jail. They sent for Blodlcr nnd demanded tha cause of his action. Bledler soon ap peared at the Jail and addressed his pris oners. 'You lhave been arrested for con tempt of the United States authorities , of whom I am ono , ' said he , "and I now propose to punish you for walking out on mo while I was telling my story. I have got you whore you can't walk out thte time. ' Dled- ler thereupon spun hie yarn , occupying three- quarters of an hour. He then discharged Cbo prisoners , who reassembled In the bar room and hold an Indignation meeting , punctuated with numerous drinks. The day police reporter was looking around the police court for a story. There was ono In view wherein a young man had been Im plicated In some trouble and the reporter was beginning to get the facts together for a nice little romance for the afternoon paper. Just as lie obtained about what he wanted a lawyer who hanga around the station wait ing for stray crumbs said : "Now , Mr. Re porter , I wish you would keep this story out of the paper. This young man Is of good family and It would bo a shame to write him up. It would do your paper no good and would certainly Injure the young fellow a great deal. I am his nttorney In this mat ter and I would like to shield him If pos sible. As a personal favor to me I beg that you will suppress the Item. " The reporter gave n noncommltal nod of the cad and just then was called away on another cue. Later ho came back to the court when the young man's trial waa going on , The attorney who had been oo eollcltoua to keep the matter out of the paper edged around next to tbo reporter and whispered In his ear : "Say , I wish you would write that follow up to beat the band. Do you know that the fool throw mo overboard and employed Mr , Pettifog to defend him. I don't care If you give him a column now , If you will step Into the corridor I will tell you all about the whole case. " As the reporter went out to get an earful the old eaylng concerning whose ox was gored came to bis mind. "I was much Interested in one of The Roe's Short Stories of the Day published last Sunday , " eaifl Dr. S. J , Qulnby. "It was the story giving the career of a Nebraska boy In the navy , and related bow the boys' father lost an arm at Memphis in 18C4. I waa the senior surgeon of the brigade of colored troops stationed near Memphis at that tlme > , and waa the surgeon who re- nio\ed the arm. Late In the winter of 16G4 there came to our camp n visitor , a young man 22 yeans of age , so full of native vim and the spirit of reck Ires adventure , that bo waa constantly exposing himself to acci dents , Owing to this trait of character bo lost his right leg irhen . boy , Uelnff thus $3 Silks for 69c Yd (0362 ( YARDS McCREERY'S Three Dollar Quality a yd including all the highest grades of silks many exclusive patterns in waist lenglits and in skirt lengths. all oil sale tomorrow at 6Qc Yd In this immense offering you will see the most fashionable novelties , the richest and most elaborate black and colored Satin Duchessc , Plaid and Brocaded Armures , large and small , exquisite designs in fancy waist patterns , also plaids and stripes and Embroidered Taffetas and Faille SILKS , in the new shades and combinations , ACTUALLY WORTH THREE DOLLARS A YARD go at Incapacitated for military service lie early In 1804 went down into the valley of the Mississippi to buy cotton. While riding with a squadron of General Greerson's cav alry the artificial leg -was broken , which accident compelled him to go to Memphis for repairs , and being an acquaintance , be came 'the guoet of ono of our officers. After several days of listless waiting and becom ing weary of the monotony of camp Jlfe , he mounted a horeo Into ono afternoon and rode out to the plckot Hnee to see his friend , the lieutenant In charge , who chanced to bo visiting some women at a residence a few yards beyond tlho Jlne. The social nature of the young man would not permit him to forego any such attractions , BO he proposed to become ono of the company , to which the guard objected , since lie was not provided with a pace. Unfortunately for him he lacked a proper appreciation of the soldierly qualities of the colored man. consequently began quietly to banter aud bulldoze the guard , who remained arm to his post. Slowly riding along the line followed by the eer- geant of the guard and a private he ex claimed , 'Well , I think I will go out any how. The sergeant replied , 'you cannot , elr. ' 'I can't can't ir said the visitor , at the same moment removing a large fur glove and placing his right hand In his breast pocket for his handkerclef. The guard reasonably concluded that ho was drawing a pistol and both Instantly fired , shattering the right arm. Removing him to the hcmeo end Bending a messenger to camp , I went out to find a right elbow joint and forearm Injured beyond all hope of re covery. "When Informed of the situation the suf fering man gave me such n pitiful look aa can never bo forgotten and said , 'A right leg and right arm gone ; I am not certain , but I wish It were my head. ' His restless spirit did not even Icavo him even after this , for he learned to write with the left hand whllaitlng ! for the stump to heal. "Ho was so bright and bravo and possessed such a generous nature that wo all loved him and deeply felt Ills misfortune , especially as his wedding day was eo near at hand. This young man was 0. D. Signer , the father of Naval Lieutenant Matt H. Signer. " IT HAPPENED AT ONTARIO. Till * Will Iiitereut You if In iXeHil of Good CouKli Mnllrliic. "One day last winter a lady came to my drug store and asked for a brand of cough mcdlcloa that I did not have in stock , " says Mr. 0. R. drandln , the popular druggist of Ontario , N. Y. "She was disappointed and wanted to know what cough preparation I , could recommend. I said to her that I could freely recommend Chamberlain's Cough Remedy and that ehe could take a 25-cent tattle of the remedy and after giving It a fair trial If she did not Ond it worth the money to bring back the bottle and I would refund the price paid. In the oour&a of a day or two the lady caino back to my store in company with a frloiid in need of a cough medicine and advised her to buy a co-cent bottle of Chamberlain's Cough Remedy , I consider that a very good recommendation for the remedy. " It la not so much what newspapers say aa what Xrlend says to friend that has made this remedy so popular , not only throughout the United States but In many foreign countries. Auetiat a Jlecurtl-IlrenUcr. August was the banner month for the Burlington road. The earnings for this month are the largest ever reported In Its history. The gross figure Is $4,353,663 , which IB considered a basing figure for the busi ness of the year , as August Is not usually an exceptionally good month. B. R. Turner , Compton.

CLUB IS FULL OF LIFE AND AMBITION Attractive Program of Studies , Dntlc * and EntcrtixInmentH Important [ Factor In the Socliil , Intel lectual Life of Oniiiha. "Do you not think that tha Woman's club movement has lost momentum and Is not the Omaha club somewhat past Its zenith ? " waa asked of a well-informed club woman. "From ono standpoint a may seem so , " she replied. "Certainly It Is no longer a phenomenon , 'but ' that Is 'fortunate. The wonion themselves never regarded It aa euch , tout the public , unaccustomed to organiza tions which refused to 'bo labeled as relig ious , political , philanthroplcal or reforma tory , persisted In looking upon the Woman's 1 club as a curiosity , or at least a fad. That , staso has undoubtedly passed toy. Within the organization , too , there has been a change. The laudatory period | 9 over and a certain boastfulncs8 that "belongs " to youth Is outgrown. The ophero of the club's Influ ence seems to have become ostaDlIsbed and It Is probably different from that presaged by friend and critic in the days of organi zation. It Is said that -women's clubs have made citizens within a decode. However , that may toe , they lhave undoubtedly clari fied an ideal of citizenship , wh.llo at the same time they have made apparent the difficulty of attaining thereto. The women are loss sure that they could manage pub- lie affaire bettor than men do. They see toy experience how very quickly what wo .call political methods suggest themselves when a personal or partisan advantage JB 'in ' sight. "On the other hand they hare realized their power In homo and educational life and It is difficult to name ono among the many efforts of these latter days to improve home , school or community that does not claim study , sympathy and help from the Woman's club. The kindergarten , child- study , university education , vacation schoola , household economics , art In homo , school house and public hall , city Improve ment , public and traveling libraries , mu- Bouma and are galleries , all these acknowledge - knowledge their debt to local women's clubs everywhere. " Omaha Woiunn'N Club. As for Che Omaha club , the speaker ex pressed the opinion that It has Just seen Us most trying year. Last year may be said to have bridged over the transition between the epochs of which she had been talking from that of the extraordinary and exper imental to that of conservative Ideals and well'catabllshed lines of work. A period of transition IB often a period of sifting , and the Omaha club may have lost something In that process , though it Is doubtful If It has parted with anything very valuable , either In members or Interest. The fall of 1898 , moreover , eaw a lot of tired women in Omaha. They had entertained for months uudero in no mood for social or intellectual pursuits. The program session , though postponed until the Exposition had closed , were poorly attended and it was not till later In the year that the president , who Is as Indefatigable as she Is popular , could bring her ranks Into line , Thla year the situation Is different , ant ) the Interest ono hears expressed In next Monday's program is much greater than waa expected. Perhaps this Is due to the topic ( "Universal Peace , " or to the ability of the committee Mesdamea Neeley , Keysor and Belden or to the announcement that Mra. Sawyer of Lincoln la to make au afldrase , or to the fact that Kipling's ' "Recessional" is to too sung by a double quartet of our beat musicians. At any rate the club bids fair to start Us work .with an enthusiasm that Is unusual. The club will be as large as over this year , the paid membership being reported as 464. This docs not Include a large number who upon reasonable excuse for postponement are allowed to pay dues in the fall , nor the long list of applications for now membership now In the bands of the membership committee. AVorlc of the Department. The departments , many of them , have al ready held preliminary meetings to place their > work or have arranged an outline of study through a committee. The Art de partment , directed by Mrs. Koysor , will devote - vote itself to the history of Gothic architec ture. After a careful review of terms they will proceed with the study in France , Eng land , Germany , Italy and Spain. The library Is strong In the literature of the subject , and the class Is looking forward tea a study which will be quite specific and which < wlll emphasize the characteristics of Individual cathedrals. 'Ono of tha adjuncts to the year study is the circulating picture club , which Is managed on the principle of a neighborhood magazine club , each woman of a gioup purchasing a picture , which she loans to each of the others for a month. The photographs chosen this year are the cathe drals of York , t-no views ; Durham , two views ; Lincoln , LltchDeld , Amiens , St. Mark's , St. Paul's , Ely , Carlisle and the Church of St. Dutolph. The motto of the musical department Is "the best possible music at the lowest pos sible price for the greatest possible number" a proposition that Is practical enough It worked out from the right end. The com mittee Is , therefore , trying to place a large number of season tickets nt a price which will make each concert cost Iras than 20 cento , but which will produce a fund suffi cient to secure good artists at fair prices. This department also conducts a class In the history of music and another In choruo drills. The committee In charge of th three branches of work consists of Mrs , Frances M. Ford , Mrs. J. H. Barrett and Miss EstcJlo Shane. Literary StndleH. .The etudy of literature is represented by ono clasa only , that conducted " by Mrs. F. II. Cole , In the plays of Shakespeare. There are two history classes. German , In charge of Mrs , n. II. McKelvoy and the for mer French history class , which , having finished a course covering two or more years will now devote Itself to Greece. The English history class of three years' stand ing finished 1t course of study last year and disbanded. The class In social science will follow an outline- adapted by Its. leader , , Mra. C. S. Loblngler , from ono furnished by I the 'American Journal of Sociology , The department has been at work five years on general principles. It now proposes * to find how these apply to conditions In Omaha and the study will be practical in character. The department of Current Topics and that of Household Economics have new leaders this year In Miss Llda Wilson and Mrs. C. II , Townsend respectively. The former has boon heretofore the largest department of the cluto. numbering last year 130 , while the latter has a reputation throughout the state enjoyed by no other department. This Is duo probably to the fact that the former loader , Mrs. F. H , Pugh , has been a popu lar lecturer on household topics among the clubs of the etato and has organized a number of departments almllar to her own. The department of Parliamentary Practice Is a clasa whose training Is constantly mani fested In the public sessions of the club. It la conducted toy Mrs. L. It. Harford , a woman of far moro than local reputation as a parliamentarian and ono to whom the club ottd many an escape from parliamentary disaster. The class In French Conversation is an enthusiastic ono led by Mra. Slbl. Its work Is Indicated by Its name and Us annual The Great Blanket and Gomtort Sale.

Mary O. Andrews. Thin class 1s per- eulng the study of ethics , as Illustrated In literary masterpieces , guided by a most comprehensive outline prepared by Its leader. On might suppose "by " this survey of no less than cloven departments that the curriculum of the club was complete , but there Is still another study class , that of Oration , led toy Mrs. Jessie B. Dorward. The work here Is that of physical expression and on such Is supplemental to study of the I other departments , especially to that of ' literature. A series of interesting public | recitals is usually glvon by this class each 'year. ' The Department of Education Is the con necting link between the study classes and the working committees. It furnishes a valuable program to the club each year like the former , and steps outside the club Into public educational work like the latter. Itwill continue next year to conduct moth ers' meetings In the schools of the city , when physicians and others will give practical ' tnlks on the development and training of children physically and mentally. Such ' meetings were held last year by Invitation of certain school principals and were suc- ceesful as to attendance and Interest. Public Service. It Is not the policy of the club to commit Itself at the beginning of the year to any definite lines of public service. It prefers rather to hold Itself In readiness to respona to special calls as they may come. There ere , however , three organized com mittees whoso work Is becoming familiar to the public. That In city Improvement , Mra. McKolvey chairman , co-operates with teach ers to beautify school grounds and to culti vate among the young a responsibility tot clean yards and streets. It compels atten tion to neglected ordinances , stirs up a de mand for garbage boxen down town and wor ries city officials with all sorts of good Ideas about municipal housekeeping. The In. dustrlal committee , Mrs. Loblngler chair man , Is another group of women who per sist in having Ideas where their own sex at least is concerned. Through Us museum committee Mrs. 8. II , Towne , chairman , and by means of on appropriation of $300 the club Is Identified with the museum which la slowly growing in the public library building to toe a place of great Intercut. The committee has worked slowly , preferring that Its collection should 1)0 good rather than large , but it reports that there will too a considerable addition to It thla fall from the Cuban , Philippine ana Hawaiian villages of the Imposition. The Omaha club Is said to be a "faithful daughter" of the Nebraska Federation or Clubs , but It might more properly toe called a mother , as It was the hootess on the ocoa- slon when the state organization was formed In 1S94. The annual meeting of the fed eration occurs thte year at York October 10 to 18 , and Omaha < wlll send her full quota of delegates. They are : Mesdamcs Smith , " * Harford , McKelvoy , Garratt , Ford , Van Ousen , Andrews , Strawn , Loblngler and Mlea Falrbrother. The program is crowded with good thing * . It gives two sessions to music and one even. Ing will be occupied ( by a lecture from Mrs. Keyeor of Omaha on the Boston library. Ono session will bo devoted to an "educa. tlonal symposium , " arranged 'by ' Mrs. Flola of Lincoln and participated in by levoa women from as many different clubs , ana industrial questions , household economics , city Improvement and newspaper reporter * will come up for discussion.

When the paper wn * presented for acceptance the flrm assorted Vallmar had no connection with them and that the draft was worthless. The amount of the draft was $50. Other transactions of a similar nature have boon discovered fry the police In looking up Vallmar's record. Two drafts for $35 and $1C , drawn on J. P. Vallmar , the younu man's father , wore cashed by Hartman , the cigar n an at Sixteenth and Chicago streets. The drafts were at sight , and the father refused cither to accept or cash them.
