With Manawa attrantlnft the younger set In numbers that have threatened the com pleteness bf more than one gathering this ummer and the Field and Country clubs drawing- Council Bluffs society In numbers that make whole groups of strangers' on this side, It should not be many seasons before the fashionahles of the two cities have more In common than they seem to have at present. The busybodies are Just now rolling a weet morsel In the way of a reported at tachment between two young people In one of the most exclusive circles in society. She Is a young widow and before her marriage not so very long ago, was one, of the most sought after young women in the fashionable set. He Is a much-traveled ynu'ng doctor, with an enviable practice, and had eluded the charms of several sets of debutantes and not a few of their older sisters. N Powerless as women are accused of being to resist the designs of the milliner It is a fact, nevertheless, , that these same women are rebelling more and more against wearing hats when they are not absolutely necessary as a protection or a formality. It Is no uncommon sight nowadays to seo women even on the downtown streets In ummer without their hats, while It Is safe to estimate that two-thirds of the well dressed women who go out Informally of an evening wear only a veil over their heads and these to keep their hair from being blown Into confusion. The Benson or the Hanecnm Park cars afford every day evidence that the summer hat, no matter how charming a creation It may be;' has become secondary to comfort un less It Is necessary. Those people who .are ,,not fortunate ertrtligh to be 'enjoying the, summer aoaie place' where the responsibility of enter taining falla upon some one else, can't help but reflect upon the exceeding good fortune that gave Omnha Its Field and Country clubs. So entirely does the social life of the city center about these two places In summer that It Is a bit difficult to remember Just what people used to do during July and August before they were opened. Slowly but surely the calendar has dwindled down to JuBt two markings a week Wednesday and Saturday and the Initiated know better than to expect anything but Incidentals before the Viiddle. of September. The'have nones" are much more numerous than the "have returned" now-a-days and the return of the warm waather has served to hustle off to some of the nearby resorts a lot'of people who had planned to remain at home until fall. Excepting the Wednesday luncheops and hop and the Saturday dinner and dance at the Field and Country clubs and a trolley ride for some of the young people this week's calendar is a blank, however, there are still some visiting girls In town arid as something Is due them there Is hope. Another promise Is found In the re turn of several families from he Minne sota lakes w ho went up for the early sum mer. Council Blufrs was very rouch In evi dence at the Country club last evening, the largest two dinners having been giv-n by Mrs. Horace Everett who had eight guests, and Mr. and Mrs. E. E. Hart who entertained ten. Mr. Ward Burgess had a dinner for Feven. Mr. and Mrs. Prltchett had nt their table Miss Margaret Wood, Mr. Roy Wood. Miss Prltchett and Mr. George Prltchett, Mr. and Mrs. F.

Krug park offers more and better at tractions as a pleasure resort than any place in Omaha, the originality of design and reliability of execution making it a dependable place to visit. The success of the last week has only stimulated Manager W. W. Cole to further efforts, and as a result some rare attractions are booked for the remaining weeks of the season. For Sunday, George Young has been se cured to make a balloon ascension and parachute drop. This is Mr. Young's sec ond attempt as an aeronaut. He found his experience of last Sunday, when he was married, and made hia weddjnj trip In a balloon so pleasant and profitable that he has adopted for his own the profession of ballooning, and Sunday will witness his first ascension and parachute drop. And at night, for the first time In the history of ballooning In Omaha, Manager Cole will give a night ascension with fire works. Illuminating the progress of the big air ship through space. Miss Etta Fyvle-Deuch, the Australian contralto, has been re-engaged for an other week. Her .rendition of "The Death less Army" and "Klllarney" cause her to respond to double encores ni-rhtly. One of the most successful mualc; features Is Christian Rodenklrchen, the cornet virtu oso. His solos nightly, accompanied by the Royal Canadian band, are warmly wel comed. Krug park as a whole was never better or more attractive and the won derfully beautiful rolrage is at the height of Its midsummer glory. MEXICO PROSPERS FINELY Charles E. Williamson Speaka from Experience of Recent Visit to that Country. Mr. Charles E. Williamson recently re turned from a trip to Mexico, where he went to inspect some land for a client. He says: "The going to a gold basis May I seems to have had a great effect. I was reliably Informed that within the sixty days following May 1 the increase in the aggregate banking capital of Mexico Olty was $6,0(10,000. This is one of the effects attributed to the change of basis. One certain result Is the stabilizing of the rate of exchange. It now fluctuates practically not at all, and In crossing the river (Rio Orande) you get even 2 for II of United States currency and vice versa In returning home. The Nebraska people In Mexico all seem to be getting rich. One of them, now a director In one of the banks, was on the day I left Mexico City signing an issue of the Increase of that bank, $loo,ouO of the new stock, to send to a Trust company In Columbus, O., my old home, that company having purchased It as an Investment. I was also down Into the terra calenta (hot country), the tropics almost In the Isth mus." Mr. Williamson says he found the cattle business in the subtropics offer such very attractive Inducements that his client is preparing to establish a cattle planta tion there as soon as possible. , NO SATURDAY HALF-HOLIDAY Retailers Inwllllas to Saerlflce the Bust Afternooa to Accom modate Clerks. In all probability there will no Saturday afternoon closing of the retail stores of the city. Some of the dealer do not favor the plan. An agreement has been circulated among the retailers by one of the clerks and a number will not sign It. among them the managers of some of the largest stores In '.own. who say they are unwilling to lose the big business of Saturday afternoon. The matter will be allowed to rest as It stands, and all the stores will continue to close at 6 o'clock every evening except Saturday. Thompson. Belden A Co. have for a long time closed at 1 p. m. on Saturday and continue to do so. This firm will sot. how ever, close at ( o'clock, hut will adhere to Its ( o'clock closing hour In the evening. Miss Bella Knowlton, of Hayden Bros', millinery department, has Just returned from a trip to the Pacific ron,st, and leaves today for New York to buy fall millinery. Steamer R. C. Guater, These hot evenings great crowds flock to the foot of Don it Us street to take a cruise on the steamer R. C. Ounter. which has so quickly sprung Into popularity In Om aha. A trip Is made every afternoon to Florence, while the nl hi cruisn Is a fifteen mile trip. WOMAN IN CLUB AND CHARITY The Nebraska Women's Christian Tem perance union has been well represented at the Epworth assembly at Lincoln, all of the state officers having been present at the board meeting held Friday and Satur day. They are: Mrs. Dora V. Wheelock of Superior, president; Mrs. A. Nesbitt of Pawnee, treasurer; Mrs. M. E. Patterson of Omaha, recording secretary; Mrs. C. M. Woodward of David City, corresponding secretaray; Mrs. M. D. Russell, vice presi dent, and Mrs. Mamie Claflin of fnlverslty Place, Jou"nalist. There was also a large representation of local unions from ail parts of the state and the Women's Chris tian Temperance union tent was one of the liveliest on the grounds. The union members have been among the everyday speakers at the pavilion. One of the promi nent addresses of the week was made by Mrs. Nesblt of Pawnee regarding the adul teration of foods and the necessity of pure food legislation In Nebraska. Friday after noon Mrs. C. M. Woodward, state corre sponding secretary, delivered an address on "A Great. Enterprise," dealing with the woman's temple In Chicago, the Frances Wlllard memorial. Mrs. Woodward was listened to very attentively by a large audience, which manifested Its Interest at the close of her, address by requests for literature and by subscriptions to the tem ple appeal. Mrs. Woodward told of the dally gospel meetings at Wlllard hall In the temple and the work resulting there from. Sunday afternoon at the Auditorium on the grounds an address will be deliv ered by Mrs. Anna R. Simmons of Chi cago, national organizer for the Women's Christian Temperance union. With apologies that It Is perhaps a little premature Miss Kate Friend writes of one i of those points In club life that Is well worthy of consideration. It Is In refer ence to the club report at the district con- I vet tlon and the point that lies between club loyalty and telling the exact truth. She ihii: The district system is to bring Into closer touch the dubs whose Interest is moat in common. The condition of the district Is discussed, for mutual Information as well as for the knowledge of the presiding officer, who in executive board meeting conveys her message to the state federa tion. Now, here lies the delicate position of the delegate. She knows things are not prospering in her club; she knows there has not been an afternoon program satis factorily carried out since the club year book began. She knows the constitution Is violated every' day, that fines and dues are not paid. And she knows that what ever is accomplished Is the result of the heroic effort upon the part of the few faithful. Yet, she has not the bravery to stand before her presiding officer and the other clubs of her district to tell It. So, sle puts the very best face possible upon the '.onriition of affairs; gathers some facts. iiiuiiuoHies mem wnn fier amuiininn i sounds as though It echoed the very whir : of club activity. What does this do? It I simply creates a false impression of club strength. To hear all these reports one would Infer every club In the state up and : onlr-lt' oH ,.( t'hova la t ho vc,IK, for creating this false Impression. No delegate Is willing to cast reflection upon her sister clith woman; she Is not willing to say. 'AA e are a club of twenty, all drones ex- cent four- we aver.iEe six at each meeting: our programs are never fully carried out owing to the tallure or memners to pre pare what is assigned them; we have a svstem of fines, but no one ever collects them for fear of offending: we never read the federation mall, because It does not Interest our members, etc." Just where the delegate's honesty with her district conflicts with her loyalty to her club Is a difficult matter to decide. I.Ike the famllv, so Is the home club, quar rel among ourselves, as we may, we always give the smile of peace to the outside world. . , It seems to the writer that club difficul ties should be discussed Just as freely as are club successes told. Experience Is the wise counsellor and If the delegates told .their troubles In heart to heart conference, 'perhaps someone who had found a way out of that same difficulty might send that delegate back to her club prepared to bet ter the condition of affairs. At least there Is food In this subject for reflection. With gardening a fad among women the papers are fairly teeming with suggestions of things that women might raise. One writer suggests that club women devote themselves to some particular product and excel In Its production, while another sug gests that the southern women tnke up the cultivation of orris root, reasoning that as 2SS.0O0 pounds of this perfume Is Imported annually at a cost of J28.0OO, the "ladles might work themselves Into a really good thing." It might be a gratifying enlighten ment to a great many people If It could he ascertained Just how much "raising" the club women are doing every year. It is a common thing to find a piano and other luxuries, as well as many of the actual necessities that hnve been obtained by the frugal wife from her butter or her chickens or garden stuff money. The club women of Nebraska, living as the majority of them do. In small towns or on farms, might be able to give some Interesting In formation and suggestions, too, on "rais ing" things ORIGIN OF THUNDERSTORMS Interesting; Information About a Common Rut I.lttle Vnder- tood Phenomenon. A thunderstorm Is one of those great events which have their origin In small beginnings. ; As soon as the sun shows his face above the horlion, on any of these warm summer days, his heat begins to take Immediate effect. First the eastern hill sides, then the rocks, and finally all the fields and pastures become very warm. This warmth Is radiated Into the air, which, being thus heated, expands and begins to ascend. Little rising currents of air. here and there, grow larger and swifter, and presently unite with other currents near them. At last great bodies of air are rushing upwards, forced up by the colder, heavier upper winds, which come down and are warmed In their turn. Thus a vast circulation Is-In process. It Is this which gives us our day breezes, Increasing In force from morning until the middle of the afternoon and then, towards evening, dying down Into a calm. Now. as this air ascends and expands. It Is cooled, and, consequently, the water vapor which it contains reaches a point when It can no longer remain a vapor, but must change into the liquid form. Clouds thus begin to develop. Those great woolly masses of cloud, dark below, with brilliant white edges, often with straight bases and massive, plled-up tops, originate in Just this way. if the day Is very, hot, evapora tion at the earth's surface Is more rapid, the ascent of the air currents Is swifter, and clouds are formed in greater abun dance. If the process continues long enough. It may happen that these "cumu lus" clouds, for so they are called, ac cumulate to a thickness o even a mile or more. This Is the Infant thunderstorm. Its thickness makes it appear black. Its great bulk of moisture causes the heavy showers that accompany it. The lightning well, nobody knows; suf fice It to say that there Is always a con siderable amount of electricity In the at mosphere and that the heat of the day, together with the extensive formation of liquid water from water vapor, or gaseous water, probably acts upon this electricity In such a way as to collect it In large quantities. At least, this is what some scientists tell us. Lastly, the thunder is merely the crah of the atmosphere as it closes over the hole (for It is literally a hole) made In It by the rapid passacs of the Uo-b'.ning.

Through the energy or Gas Inspector Lynch, the machine at the city hall for testing gas meters has bren repaired and put In working order and for the first time In twelve years It Is doing business as the city regulations demand.
