Wllklna, tha new noma show manager, wit In tha city Thursday and Friday meeting with the director of tha Horse Show association and preparing tha prise Hat for this fall. Mr. Wilklni wti moat enthusiastic over the proapecta for thla fall and said: "There I no reason why Omaha could hot put on as good a show as any other town of twice Ita alae. because It haa more high claaa horeea that can be seen In an evening's drive on the boulevard than can be aeea In the same time at Kansas City or Bt. Louis. The reputation of W. H MrCord has gone far beyond the conflnes if Omaha, and all horse ahowa are eager that he should come with hla string, Chi cago being after him thla early In the game. He haa a new pair of heavy har neas horaea that seem Impossible to beat, even If one had the choice of the eastern show stables. He will give the cracks run for their money. "Mr. Peck's saddle horae representa a very good type and haa ahown much Im provement since Mr. Peck acquired It. The directors tell me that many new stableg have been added since last year In spite tt the Increase of the number of auto rroblles. Mr. Kenyon haa bought tha Enrtlett pair which were wlnnera In Chi cago. "There Is a strong possibility of F. K. Bull of Racine showing h!s stable at Omaha. He has one of the most complete show stable In existence. W. Vernon Booth of lake Forest with his atrlng of hunters, jumpera and polo ponies, aa Well sa Chnmbers I,. Pelrce of Chicago with Ms famous high school horse. Artist King, hove signified their Intention of coming to the Omaha show. Omaha Show Well Established. "Omalia'a reputation in the horse show line has become worldwide In the two years that shows have been given, no first show ever being a greater aucceaa. All we have to do to make this ahow the aucceaa It deserves will lie to pull together. With ' the added attractions which tha new prise list will bring out the attendance of vlalt ora from the outside should be enormous. "My efforts from now until I return In August will be to work for entries, for In the large entry Hat Ilea the success of the ahow. With plenty of the high grade stables tha show will be worth the money and there will be no trouble about the at tendance. "Max Orthweln of St. Iula Is president of tha Western Horse 8liow circuit, and I am secretary, the towns of the circuit being I-oulsvllle, St. Liouls, Kansas City, Omaha and 8t. Paul. This circuit prevents the conflicting of datea and any new town will have to do something heroic to attract the horsemen any of theae shows are now at tracting. With the circuit aa now eatab llahed the r ircess of the Omaha ahow Is assured for tha horae men will not care to lay off the week between Kanaaa City and Chicago and will ccma here." Eleven Thonsand la Premiums. The amount of premium money offered at tha horse ahow thla fall la 111,279. There will be twenty-two divisions of horses, seventy-ona classes In all. There will ba two championship harness classes. Tha divisions all the way through will ba di vided In two, for 15.2 and over and under. Tha hunt teama and Jumpers will all ba treated the same aa they were last year. A' class for cobs has been added, a horse between fourteen and fifteen hands up to carrying ISO pounds. The harness ponies and saddla ponies will have five classes, four of which are devoted to local entries, Tooth Talk No. 43 Personally I do not, nor do I advise otheri to, follow up advertisements.

Two potato racea will be run, one Tuesday night and one Thursday night. These were run two years ago but were cut out last year, Two feature classea will be on tha pro gram thla year, $600 for each class.

To be shown before deml-mall, spider or stanhope phaeton. These classes will attract the big owners of the country and these have already been assured. The purse In Itself la big enough to be attractive to call oat the best In the country. Mr. Wllklns haa word already from Crow A Murray and Pepper, the lead era here last year, and some of the leading Kansas City horsemen. Many other prom ises are out which the management Is re lying upon, but the names ara withheld at this time. Borden to Jndge. Spencer Borden of Fall Hlver. Mass., who will be Judge, Is ranked among the foremost Judges of saddle and harness classes In the United States, his experience extending over twenty-five years of Judging In the most Important shows In the country, such as Madlaon Square, Philadelphia, Louisville and Boston. Mr. Kuykendall and F. T. Haskell of Chicago haa also given promise of their presence. One of the new rulea will protect the patrons against a lot of dogs taking the money, for the rule provides that nothing but high class animals shall be exhibited, tha prise to be withheld at the discretion of the Judges. In case the saddle, hunter and Jumper Classea are too large, elimination trials will be held In the mornings. Protests will be decided aa uaual. Changing of ahoea to permit horse in two claaaes will not be permitted under the rulea, this year. Announcement. J. L. Brandels 4 Sons announce that their store will be closed all day on Wedneaday.

Tost: vice president, John talley; secretary, A. F. Wilson; treasurer, Q. W. Carr. P. B. Eustls, passenger trafflo manager of the Burlington road was born and reared In Philadelphia. He is not particularly proud of the fact except for tha delightful recollections of the little things In his boy hood days there. "I think there are always one or two in cldenta or characters sssoclated with boy hood that one remembers better than others," he said. 'These will sometimes atick to a person through life and he will remember them when he will forget Inter mediate happenings and persons. Back in Philadelphia, when I Was a boy, there was a character, not a type, named Jack Fla herty. Coming to the United 8tates In hla youth, he never quite loat the delightful Irish brogue. Flnherty sold oysters from a wagon in Philadelphia. He started in the business when he first landed and he la still selling oysters from a wagon. His custom was to drive through a street sell ing to housewives. At the corner he would stand half an hour or so and then meander up to the next corner. Everybody knew him his optimistic disposition and the high quality of his oysters, which he always maintained. Every child was his favorite and he was the favorite of all the children. "Some time ago, when I waa in Philadel phia on business, I sauntered up our old street, with no particular object hut to look at the familiar spots. As t approached our old corner 1 saw an oyster wagnh. Going closer, who did 1 recognise but en old friend, Jack Flaherty, tt was the first time I ha4 sesa hint slaee ehitdhwxl. I am over six feet tall, but was considerably under that mark when Jack sold my mother oysters, so I had no fear of being recog nized. I went to the wagon, looked at Jack and then at hla oysters. " 'How are your oysters this morning, Mr, Flaherty?' I asked. " 'Fine and fresh,' he answered. "Now that waa the question and answer I had heard a thousand times' between Jack and my mother. " 'Well, how am I to know they're line unleaa I eat them?' I responded. " 'Well, thero's some reason In that, some reaaon In that,' he answered, without look' Ing up from his work of opening the bl valves. "That was another question and answer that usually pasaed between Flaherty and my mother. "I repeated a few more of the old ques tions and Jack returned with the same old anawers. I kept studying his face, but he did not look up from his work, yet each of his anawers was made more slowly than the preceding one. and I could see he was thinking, thinking hard, trying to locate me after all those years. " 'Well, 1 11 take half a dosefl,' I said at length. "Then Flaherty dropped his oyster open ing auddenly and said: " 'Percy, me boy, how are youT Little Percy Eustls.' "He was as pleased as a- boy with present. Then Wo had ft tittle talk An Old times. When I finished eating the Oysters I passed a dollar over to pay for them. " 'Never mind that, Percy; I'm more thn that ahead of your mother,' he said, with a smile." Fnneral Notice. The funeral of Wm. Huston will be held from the residence, 1613 Chicago St., Mon day at 2 p. m. Interment will be had at Prospect Hill cemetery. Friends invited. Rnlneal by an Annnal Pass. In these famine days of free railroad tickets It la refreshing to hear of an In stance where an annual pass over a good big system waa returned with thanks. "Several years ago when the railroads were distributing favors more freely than now I formed an alliance with a fellow who resided In a good district about 100 miles I "SlBO-lOfl" aVaf wjB4aaaaaBaaaaaaBmBIBnTemmmnmmmnmmmmmmm Invisible Si iiocals We are EXCLUSIVE makers of the NEW TYPE of double vision lens. The UNDISPUTED advantages of our lens over all others are: 1st. With our improved machinery we are enabled to make them at nearly half the cost of other lenses of a similar kind. 2nd. No injury to the eye from constant wear. 3rd. Less cemented surface to fog. 4th. No danger of starting the cement when tightening the lens. 6th. Can be made in thinner lenses, consequently there is less reflec tion and absorption of light. 6th. Much less expensive and accurately adaptable to individual re quirements. .

"This man was a royal rounder and by his disposition ha had made a host of friends. In this way t discovered that he waa In a position to control and give us considerable business:, without much labor on his part, and I cultivated him. lie was close to the atrical people. Influenced their travels over our line, waa a member of half a dozen societies and orders running excursions over our line continually. "When 1 saw what he could do I Induced the powers that be to Issue an annual pass good over the entire system in fever ef my friend, t forwarded him the pase; he thanked me and continued hie gnod work. "About SM rnonths after I received a let ter from him enclosing the annual. His letter ran about tike thlsi "'My teor Trletrafn: 1 return herewith the annual pas yon sent me a few months ago. When 1 received It 1 thought tt we a good thing and would save me lots of money running up to the city, and It did for awhile. Put these free ride, the saving of the price of a ticket, have almost fulhed me financially and phySloally. The fact that I had art annual in my pocket haa caused me to make fifty trips to the city I would not have made if I had (o pay rny fafe. When 1 got Into the city the feeling that 1 had paid ho railroad far was SI- , ways with me, and when t would spend a dollar here and couple of dollars there 1 ' would console myself with the thought that ' I had saved my faJlroad fare. On return- ing home I would And that while I had : aaved tt or $3 in railroad fare I had spent $15 or 20 In other ways, all baaed on the theory that I was saving money on account ( of my pass. Now If I had had to pay my fare I would not have made one-twentieth ' of the trips. As near aa I can figure It out this annual pass has cost me la six nsontha about $400, while if I had paid my firae and made no unnecessary expenditures It would have cost me ft little ever two for the same number of trips. Much obliged, old man. but hereafter 1 will pay my fare and save money.' I answered his letter and told him I wduld stand half his expenses in the city. But it was no go. lit wai a reformed pass fiend and nothing I could do would Induce him to accept a free ticket again." Might Have Been Worse. "Three or four of us were sitting In the smoking compartment of Ouf Ctnclnatf train one night Out of Chicago when a ponderous fellow, weight . about 150, en-: tered," Said Harry J. Rheln, general pas senger agent of the Big Four road. "With me waa C. C. Clarke, one of our traveling passenger agents, and, aa we were not paying fare, we erewded over In one cor ner to allow the newcomer a seat. "It was a companionable gathering and we talked Until a late hour. Clarke and the heavy weight became friendly. Finally Our agent became sleepy end signified his Intention of connecting with an upper berth. He got up and began to look for his hat. The lid' was a new derby, flost Intf B, and h could not find It. He searched the racks, then his berth, and back again to the smoker, but no hat. "When he made known hla loss (to the men in the Smoking compartment ell began to look fr the lost member of Clarke's makeup. One by one they got up to look where they had been sitting. Finally the ap6Und gentleman arose, and under him was Clarke'a hat. "Our agent made as loud a holler as was advisable under the circumstances, but the big fellow only smiled. " 'Oh, It might have been worse,' said the heavy Weight. " 'Might have been worse' " gasped Clarke, 'I don't see how in h It could have bean Worse,' " 'Well, it might have been my hat,' re plied the good-natured levlathlan."

BRIDGE BUILDING IN AFRICA lacldeats of tke Hasordoae Work of f Spaaalac the Gorge of the Bstaabesl. The riveting up of the Zambesi bridge proved to be a more formidable under taking than had been anticipated. Several ef the riveters we brought front England were unable to stand the climate, and we had to depend largely on the men In the country. We found that an average day's work in England and In Africa were two very different things. Although we had good hydraulic and pneumatic equipment, the rate of progrees waa rather slow. An Interesting Incident occurred during the riveting. A leopard, which had pre viously devastated the henroosts of every one in our locality, besides taking sundry dogs and cats, waa run over by an engine one night. He had apparently been dai sied by the headlight and had lain on the track. He waa teen by the driver, who pulled up. The skin waa found to be scarcely damaged. The deep pools among the islands In the river were the haunt of numerous hip popo'aml, which, althdugo, peaceable moat of the year, if left alone, at certain tlmra became dangeroua. We were chased on One or two oosaalone when in Canadian canoes, but never came - to grief. Others Were not eo fortunate. Three canoes were. Overturned in one week. In one case one ef the civil commissioners' native paddlera was drowned. In another, the man over turned lost his rifle and other gear and had to swim to one of the islands, where he remained all night. Another adventure, that befell two of our rlvetere, is perhaps worth recording. They went ft ' little way along the forge and there found the remaina of ft readbuck. They started to Cut out the horns. Sud denly they heard a growl behind them. Turning, they saw a lioness with two cubs, who was evidently annoyed at thla Interference with her dinner. The two men did not etop to argue, but made a bee line for the gorge, down which they Jumped about aa dangerous a proceeding, one would think, aa facing the Hon. Luckily they etopped sliding a good way down, and returned very much bruised and ex cited. The lioness was followed next day for aome distance, but the party were un able to come up with her. World's Work. A mat for Atlas. The party of mythological tourists comes upon Atlas supporting the earth. Before ba haa a chance to begin talking about what a hard task la his one of the tourists Inquires, blandly) "And what are you doing, my good man?"
