' OVEN PROVES TO BE POOR BANK Mrs. John Irvlu Oat Eighty Dollars by Maklna; Deposit la One. Mrs. John Irvln, 2218 Paul street. Is out just l"0 as the result of using a gasoline oven as a safety deposit vault. Mrs. Irvln Is the owner of a gasoline oven, which has not been In use by her family for several months, but has been borrowed a number of times by the sev eral neighbors. Saturday afternoon Mrs. Irvln was down town and Mrs. Herman of 1419 North Twenty-second street sent her daughter over to the Irvln home to get the oven for the purpose of doing her Sunday baking. The child could not carry It and she eullsted the services of two small boys In the neighborhood to assist her. The boys were more than ordinarily rough with their load and a number of times the door was thrown open, but finally the oven was landed at Mrs. Her man's door. Upon arriving home from her shopping tour Mrs. Irvln noticed the oven gone and forthwith made Inquiries and learned the whereabouts of her bank, and upon investigation It was learned that the money was missing. It Is supposed to have been lost while the boys were carrying the ovn between the two houses. The police station was notified and Officer Dan Baldwin was de tail to ascertain whether or not the money had been actually lost or stolen, and upon Investigation he holds the two boys altogether blameless. . Mrs. Irvln Is a poor woman and has been saving the money to buy the wlnter'a coal. SUNDAY AND MONDAY AT KRUG Hilltop Resort Offers Mich to Draw People to Its Beautiful Grounds.

DICKINSONS ' LEAVE OMAHA will Move to Kansas City Latter Part ' of Month to Make Their Home. CIMKI1ANA DRAWS A CROWD Country Club Outdoei All Prerloai Effort Alonf Thii Llae. COOL WEATHtft ADDS ZEST TO OCCASION AJI Klada of Slants Tailed Off for the Amusement of Those Attending, the Women Participating la Some. It was accounted tha best gymkhana given at the Country club and the men and women who arranged It especially the women were pleased to an unbelleveable degree. A disgustingly Impolite breexe swept down from the northwest over the club house and the pretty grounds. Whenever It could find a speck of dust the wind picked it up and cast it In charming eyes nd delicate shell-like ears or spilled It over clothes that simply made one gasp Ith admiration. The air had the first nip of autumn, a downright palatable twang, too, that made a light wrap a thing of Joy and running here and there so as not to miss anything, extremely desirable. The gymkhana was Introduced to Omaha two years ago and everyone knows that It Is Just an effort to let out nonsense and let lovely gowns be seen. So well nave these alms had been accomplished at the Country club that one might as soon think of turning the golf links Into a potato patch as to mention saying good bye gymkhana. Those who saw tho other local gymkhanas say that this one beat them In every way brought more people out, had more Interest In the events and pro duced more fun out of the whole thing. They sought to prove this by remarking that dlnnner was served to 2w guests, where but 235 sat last year, the latter num ber being the record of the club In enter taining at one time. How 2S0 persons were seated In the dining room only the stew ards knew and no one- dared to ask them. Radeness of tha Wind. All this success, too, In the face of that nasty wind which was so very naughty that Mrs. Arthur Gulou, who seemed to be bossing about every Job on the reserva tion and doing it exceptionally well, dis carded her hat and wrapped her head and features ud In a thick white veil. She had more courage than most of the other women or less vanity It were better to leave the decision to conjecture ror not one of the others dared remove the plumed and laced .creations that helped to grace the scene. But most of thera had to resort to veils. Interest was too Intense In the games to keep more than a few women In sung corners, and damage to costume and complexion or no, they sallied out and saw all that was going. The Country club grounds have looked prettier In the flowering time of the year, before nature had whispered the first word of farewell and dismissal to the grass and the leaves and the blossoms, but what verdure lacked the women more than supplied. From the time Master of Cere monies Ben Cotton started off the auto mobile parade until tho last spool of paper ribbon had been unwound at the cotillion march the afternoon was one of life, activity, color, laughter, Jest and enjoyment. He who would not enthuse and loosen the cords of his reserve were a sad dog, verily. Autos In Grand March. This automobile parade was a bit dis appointing In that not more than half of the motor ear owners who promised to be In It entered their machines. No prises were given and the event was for the sight's sake only. Flags of all nations were used to decorate the cars, and rightly Old Glory led the procession, with the aid of the gale caressing the crew' of fair pas sengers It sheltered. Every car was loaded to the brim with women and their bright finery. The procession meandered out over the golf grounds, down In the valleys, then on the hilltops, now behind the bunkers and again In plain view on the slopes. The spectacle was gay and pleas ing. Tho parade had cars owned by these men In It: W. D. Bancker, F. P. Klrken- dall, Hugh McWhorter, Dick Kimball (2), J. T. Stewart, Mrs. Herman Kountxe, J. McGee, Mr. Austin, Art Gulou, Harry Comings, Frank Colpetxer, O. W. Wattles and Oould Dlett. Nine musicians, christened the "Country Club Band," lent sweet strains and ardor to all the performances. These nine mu sicians played their very souls Into their horns. One hundred yards away you couldn't hear a friend talk In your ear. Their work was Immense In Its way, and made one wonder what they would do with Vognalr If that band ever could care for mere Wagner muslo. Whellbarrow Race Leads Off. There was a wheelbarrow race with six wheelbarrows and one young man and two young women to each barrow. The Idea was to carry one girl about seventy-five yards, dump her out and pick up another girl and take her to the finish. The bar rows were nice large ones and plainly marked with the name of the department store that sent them out. The girls tucked In their skirts and declared they enjoyed It. The young men said they enjoyed It, too, but had to wait awhile to get their breaths before they could utter the words. The lucky wheelbarrowlst got a cigarette case. Mr. John Redlck carried It away and earned It cleanly, too. In this race Mr. Redlck transportedMlss Mary Morgan After spending nearly all of their mar ried life In Omaha Mr. and Mrs. Edward Dickinson are to leave the city for Kan ens City the latter part of September. Two years ago this fall Mr. Dickinson resigned as general manager of the Union Pacific, with which road he had been for thirty three years, and accepted the position of vice president and general manager of the Orient road, Arthur Btillweils line. The Dickinsons &ive continued, however. In the last two years to make their home at the old place on Park avenue. But that dwelling has been sold to T. F.

'Joe Zlegler, a laborer employed at the city's asphalt plant, met with a peculiar and painful accident Saturday afternoon about i o'clock. VOegler was working around a large boiler Ailed with hot tar when In some manner the contents ex ploded, almost entirely covering Zlegler with the burning fluid. He was painfully burned about the lower part of the body, but no serious results are anticipated. He was eared for by City Physician Arnold and sent to the Clarkson hospital. LOCAL BREVITIES. At the national convention of postoffice clerks to be held at Cedar Rapids la., September to t, the local lodge will bo represented by W. T. Hurst and J. D. Short; alternates, W. H.

While playing around a building under construction yesterday afternoon about 4 o'clock Fred Blck. a 7-year-old boy living at 1111 Pacific street, reoelved Injur lea from a heavy rock falling on his hand that necrsaitated the amputation of his idex ringer Just above the Oral Joint. was given the credit for the victory.

Miss Char lotte Warfleld of Kansas City and Miss Caroline Congdon; Mr. Harley Moorehead, Miss Miriam Patterson and Miss Delia Me Hugh; Mr. Fred Thomas, Miss Gwendolyn White and Miss Laura Montgomery. When the Women Competed. As soon as the exciting scenes of this race were a thing of history the crowd flocked to tha trees to the east of the club house, where an archery contest had been arranged for the women. The target was large, the distance not more than twenty feet and no bows were used, the women throwing Implements like they use to In furiate the bull for the toreador, with the hand. Omaha's feminine society rolls were about used up In the list of contestants and a few other cltlea contributed of the best they have. Thirty women failed to place a barb In the center of the target, when some one urged Mrs, Herman Kountse to try her hand. Mrs. Kountse stepped forward carelessly, glanced at the good-natured audience and launched her weapon with abandon. It struck fair In the heart of the mark and a cheer went up. Then you should have heard the re marks: "It's always the way. ,8he doesn't need It a bit." "Need whatf "The to pas-studded belt buckle that Is the prise." Oh!" "Isn't It a shame T" Isn't It. Wish I could win It" And a Little Child Led. Them. But the triumph of Mrs. Kountxe waa of brief breath. A tiny little girl, Catherine Beeson by name, stepped to the ribbon and requested arrows. Her first shot struck the green circle, which meant five points. No one was taking any Interest In the child's attempts. Her aeoond barb hit the center at squarely as had that of Mrs. Kountse. Her score waa EG and the so ciety leader's only 50. The crowd was so surprised It did not applaud for a few min utes. "Oh, pshaw!" murmured a young matron whose gown cost more than many a clerk la paid In a year, "that's Just as bad as heaving It go to Mrs. Kountse. Whst can that little girl do with a belt buckle?" Some of the women who tried their skill In this game were: Miss Klrkendall. Mlas Mary Lee McShane, Miss Bessie Brady, Mrs. Edward Westbrooke, Miss Ellaabetn Congdon, Miss Thomaa. Mrs. Samuel Bums, Jr., Miss Warfleld, Miss Natalie Mertiam, Miss Mary Morgan, Miss Montgomery, Miss Helen Davis, Mrs. J. B. Butler, Miss Doane, Miss Dewey, Miss Faith Potter, Mrs. F. A. Nash. Miss Ruth Hammer. Miss Laura Congdon. Mrs. Herbert Wheeler, Mis Phoebe Smith, Miss Moorehead, Miss Hasel Connell, Mrs. Robert Bell, Mrs. Hoxle Clark of St. Louis, Mrs. Floyd Smith. Mrs. Will Redlck, Miss Arjne Browne of Tennessee, Mrs, D. M. Vlnsonhaler, Mrs. Harry Cum Ings, Mrs. .W. D. Bancker, Mrs. Eva Wal lace and Mrs. Ella 8qulres. Caddies In a Race. To give society a chance to rest after these exhausting pastimes a sack rare for caddies was pulled off. Twenty-five lads entered. The race was a good one because so many of them had accidents and fell down. FTed Larson, the smallest chap In the lot, won out and pocketed the prlxe of IS. Still further to afford the gymkhanaltee an opportunity to recover the vital energy lost In the four events held, a brief Inter mission was taken. It was not long, how ever, before five young men declared them selves In fit trim to stand behind a can vas wall and be sunflower babies while the women tried to hit them In the face with rubber balls. Each man put his face through a giant sunflower wtlh the seeds knocked out and made a monologue nctor out of himself so as to disconcert the marksmen. These promising Ezra Ken dais were Mr. Gulou, Mr. Wilson Lowe, Mr. W. D. Bancker, Mr. Samuel Burns, Jr., and M Ed Swobe. They looked very comical In the sunflower frames and said many warranted funny things. This show was In charge of Miss Belle Dewey and Miss Daisy Doane and was a glittering success. Shot from Sunny Tennessee. The babies seemed to be Justified In not feeling scared until Miss Anne Browne of Tennessee was sen approaching through the throng. Miss Browne can be seen quite a ways. Her first ball was shot towards the babies In a style that would make Jack Pfelster alt up and ask who did It. The missile cut a nicx In one of tho frames, hit the club house wall, bounded In the air and they are still searching for It. The five martyrs droped on their knees, but after a conference with two waiters, returned to face Miss Brown, somewhat fortified In courage but no longer saying funny things. There Is no telling what might have happened If Mr. Bancker had not made a droll face and caused Miss Browne to laugh as she threw the next ball. As a result the force of the blow was shattered and Mr. Gulou was but slightly Injured. The third shot went wild. Later Mrs. A. L. Reed. Mrs. Her bert Wheeler and Miss Haxel Connell each hit a man and tied for the nrlio. silver twine ball. The girl from Ten nessee was disheartened by her victim's wounded upper lip and Miss Connell waa an easy winner. Real aht Was Played. ine Afauy-ho Foursome was the fun niest event of the day. Clubs were used Instead of golf sticks and tennis balls knocked over the greens. The competing couples were Bob Burna In full highland costume of kilts and Ross Towle In the most elegant green robe and black hair seen on the grounds, and John Redlck as a vaudeville. German comedian and George Prltchett as a ballet lady In full lack of regalia. His wig was particularly hideous. The Burns-Towle couple won the match and a Jewel case apiece. The players were escorted over the course by the band and a few hundred Jeering spectators. With a silver knife aa trophy a number of nice appearing boys did a domino race ror the benefit of mankind. Each carrying a suit case ran rapidly for the nearest bunker, behind which he opened the case. extracted a pink domino and a tiny para sol ana chased back home aa soon aa pos sioie, still naullng the suit Case. Harry Montgomery won. His competitors In cluded Ben Gallagher, Richard Baum, Jack Baum, Wlllard Butler, Elmer Redlck and D. E. Chantler. Automobile Tilting. Mr. Gulou and Mrs. Westbrooke cap tured the automobile tilting contest after It looked as though Dick Kimball and Miss Kimball were sure winners. There were six rings to be speared by the women, the men driving the machines. Both speed and the number of rings captured counted In the score. Mr. Kimball traveled the swiftest, but Mr. Gulou was the more prac ticed nana, ana had a consort who owned as cool a nerve and as good an eye as any man or woman on the ground. She got five out of the six rings and knocked the other down. Miss Kimball landed only two ring, others In the contest were: Mr. Bancker and Mrs. Cumlngsl Mr. Cumlngs nnd Miss Cumlngs. Hugh McWhorter and Miss Adele McHugh, Mr. McGee and Mrs. Will Burns. The prizes were a gold trimmed cigar case and a silver papier poudre case. Then came the cotillion inarch on tha green with nearly every couple present In It. The ribbons dissipated would have wrapped $33,W.999 boxes of candy. It la estimated. The event was a great success. This closed the gymkhana.. Dinner for fol- O'JR LETTER BOX. The Passing; of a Gentlewoman. When Helen F. Thomaa died the other day there went from us one of those rare spirits known as a gentlewoman. This dominant characteristic enveloped her whole nature. She was a brosdly educated, tolerant, cultured, clear minded woman In the fullest sense of that expressive word. Possessed of a wonderfully tenacious mem ory, she was a perfect ready-reference In a wide field of literature; she had traveled extensively and charmed her friends by the vivid word pictures of her experiences In foreign lands. Her religion meant more to her than a mere formula, for she was ever the quiet, helpful friend to no many who will miss her. Her life was filled to the brim with the golden record of that char ity which Is surely twice blessed, because of the spirit which prompted It. It was a beautiful life of good deeds, rounded out to a painless, childlike death. And something more than the mere passing word should be said when a woman of such mingled strength and sweetness passes Into the Hence. Miss Thomas was bom at Holland Pat ent, N. Y., and came to Omaha In 189, where she haa lived contlnuoualy, with the exception of Intervals of travel. She Is survived by brothers and sisters resident here, B. II. BARROWS. Boulevard and Bluff Tract. OMAHA, Sept. 8.-To the Editor of The Bee: The Park board has spent a vast amount of time gratuitously In the Inter est of beautifying this city and the results of Its work will grow In the appreciation of our citizens. In proportion to the growth of trees planted, together with the Increas ing congestion of population. The Trans- mlselsslppl exposition awakened our peo ple to the fact that the Bluff tract over looking Cut Off lake, with Its view un paralleled for grandeur In this city. Is by Its tocography and Its central location pre eminently adapted to the wanta of the city for park purposes. A widespread move ment to that end failed and building ac tivity within the Inst two years has en croached on this tract so as to prevent Its acquirement for park purposes. In a reso lution to the city council recommending the condemnation of a strip along the brow of this bluff for boulevard purposes, together with a strip connecting with Kountxe park on Twentieth street, the Park board has earned the gratitude of every progressive citizen In this thickly settled part of the city. As no part of the cost of acquiring this strip la collected from the city at large, the small amount re quired being distributed among the Inter ested property owners In the adjacent dis trict, there should be no opposition to this Improvement. When it Is completed I pre dict It will be the most popular scenic driveway In the city. GEORGE F. SHEPARD. WORDS ASCRIBED TO LADY Charge of Life Insurance Being?

"There Is all of the difference In the world between an eastern horse show and a western product," said Dr. Gray to a bunch of horse lovers at the Omaha club shortly after his arrival, "and the com parison Is all In favor of the show of the west. In their ensemble, the classification of horses and the rapidity with which the program is carried out the western cities are 100 per cent ahead of any in the east. I do not refer to Madison Square, which la In a class by Itself and has no competitors In any part of the world. The Madison Square Horse show Is the teacher of all others in all parts of the globe; its pro grams and prize lists are used as copy and here Is the fashion set for the season. Then Comes the Weet. "But take Madison Square out of consid eration and the west leads. Until Inst year Kansas City was the logical second to New York, but now Chicago has taken the bun and will always be second, because of the sound basis upon which it is run and because the merchants and all have Just realised of what value a first-class horse show Is to a city. Chicago has more of concentrating of gowna, being far ahead of New York and presenting one of the most artistic sights In the world. The west Is bound to lead. Why, even Texas gave a better show last winter than any of tha summer shows of the east thla year. "Atlantic City, with Its visitors. Is prac tically a city of SOO.000 people, and It at tempted its first night show this year, Coal olj lamps were used Just as the an ient villages were wont to do In ye olden time. There was not "half enough light In the arena to permit the gowns to be seen. They had no promenade around the ring. as any well regulated show should have, nd no decorations, A bar seemed to be the center of attraction, and there and at Newport and at Narragansett Pier It was shocking to a westerner to see the amount of whisky consumed at all of the places, not only In highballs and fancy drinks, but the straight stuff. ftonthernera to the Front. "At Narragansett many southern people made the affair a social success, besides winning many of the ribbons. Louisville, Nashville and Lexington were well repre sented. The Omaha horse formerly owned by Hal McCord won blue ribbons In every class entered. She waa shown by Alfred Vanderbllt, the present owner. A number of western horses took the ribbons In their classes. Including Rhea W. and Easter Belle, the blue ribbon winners In the road ster class at the Omaha show last year, Dr. Sherman Williams of Denver also took prizes with his heavy harness pair, and the heavy-harnesB champion from Omaha, Crelghton, won every event he entered. "Omaha has the promise of entries from eight or ten of the leading stables of 'the east. A committee will go from Omaha to Louisville, the " show which Immediately precedes Omaha's show, and Induce some of the southern stables to come to Omaha. Being in the Big Four will be a great help to Omaha In the matter of securing en tries, for, coming between Louisville and Kansas City, it will not be a hard matter to get all of the stables at either place to Include Omaha In their list. "Eastern houses Informed me that they would send artists here to consult with local dressmakers and milliners In refer ence to the proper styles for the horse show, especially for costumes for the women." Popular prices will prevail at the horse show. The amount and location will bo de cided upon at the first general meeting of the directors. While the show will be more expensive and elaborate than last year. the directors are In favor of making the horse show for the masses as well fts for the classes, apd all will be Interested tn making the horse show a hummer. Gettlna Ready for the Shew. The executive committee and the direc tors of the horse show are making all pre liminary steps to put the plans for the horse show In full swing during the next week. Secretary Cowgill will return Mon day and then everything will hum. A sys tem will be evolved for securing entries; extensive posters and other forma of ad vertising will be prepared and all of. the details worked out The task of preparing for the horse show this fall will be much simpler than It was last, for the directors understand their business and will not have to work so much In the dark and with so much uncertainty aa to the en tries. During the week an office will be opened In the Bee building, where the secretary and Dr. Gray will have desks and which will be handy to the public aa well aa to the directors.
