"Twelve years ago, when tha city hall had
been built but four rears. I Inepected the
tower for the council and declared It to be
unsafe," aaid Architect Lateneer on Mon
day. "That op'nion I made when the mu
nicipal building a as practically a new

to forecast when it end wiU come. If it la

In all Omaha to collapse, and if a high
wind should strike it a aheet of paper would

The architect then went on to show what
b termed the "utter fooliehness" uaed In
lta construction, giving something of the
history of towera to explain hla position.
Aa he explained It, towers were originally
built in the olden days aa a lookout over
the city. In them were stationed watch
men to keep watch in case of fire, it being
their duty when a fire broke out to sound
the alarm on a bell stationed in the tower.
Later, when timepieces were Invented, a
townclock was placed In the tower, but the
clocks were aim aye placed under what ia
known as the "bell deck." The "clock
deck" Is of solid masonry, substantial;

This method of construction of having
the solid i-lock masonry at the base and
the "openwork" station for tha watchman
above waa alwaya carried out until the city
ball of tb'e city of Omaha waa built. Then
the man who built the pinnacle which aur-
snounta the municipal building of this city I
conceived the bright idea of turning things 1
upside dowa and placed the light watch
deck at the bottom and the heavy clock
deck on top. though no watchman waa
ever installed or no clock ever placed in
the steeple to give the people the time.
Faalt ia Heavy Bfaeaary.
This placing of the heavy masonry on
top is what makes the city hall tower so
dangeroua a danger which la enhanced
by the character of tlif stone used in Its
construction, soft West Superior red sand
stone. Architect Latenser estimates the weight
of the city hall tower, above the present
bell deck, at MOO tons, while be gives the
sustaining power of the pillars at not to
exceed eight tons. And there is some dif
ference between eight and S.Ouft. The es
timated weight of tha tower on the fed
eral building ia given at tt.000 tone, but
on this building the approved order of
architecture was adopted and the bell
deck placed at the top and the clock be
neath and therefore the danger from that
tower cannot be compared with that of the
city hall despite the great disparagement
in weight.
City Building Inspector Withnell, who is
an architect, aays that the city hall tower
ahould be rased to the basement of tha
bell deck and that a new tower could be
built from this base. Tha municipal build
ing would lock somewhat odd without any
sort of tower and the building of a aafa
structure would probably be ordered were

How (o Reduce Fat
Proportionately
Proportion is the thing. A fat woman
yearns to reduce bar abdomen, but aba
doesn't want ta produce a scrawny nock.
This fact condemns the dieting method
of reducing. Ton can't starve the fat alf
one place and not off another. Simply
Impossible. But why try dieting, or even
exercising, when there la a better way
of reducing fat than either.
Try the following: One-halt ounce Mar
mola. S ounce Fluid Extract Caaara
Aromatic. X ouncea Pevpermlnt Water.
Any druggist will fill the above cheaply.
Take a teeapoouful afiar meals aid at
bedtime and aee if in a few weeks yeu
ais not toeing about a pound af fat a day
not from placea whexa you are normally
riuinrv but from thosa thai are oveny

am told, and though it produces delight

Charges of emberxlement are about to
be brought against O. D. Talbert, former
secretary and treasurer of the Transmis
sion! Poultry association, by the present
officers of that society. The Information
has been filed In police court by the
county attorney, but has not as yet been
sworn to. F. C. Algols t, the present sec
retary of the association, said Tuesday that
he would sign the Information in a day
or two.
Talbert ia charged with embexxllng fC.3
from the association - at the time of Its
exposition one year ago. The ahortage was
not discovered until Isst November, one
month after Talbert had left the city. A
search was then Instituted and ha was
located at Dix. in this state.
Demand was made unon him for tba
money, but he put off the officers, saying
he would (ay aa soon as possible, that
be was engsged la business and hoped
noon to be In a position to refund any
amount due ths organisation. Two montha
haa elapsed since then and Secretary Al
quist says that tha aseociati:! can wxit
no longer and that he has been compelled
to begin actlon.
Tha bonding company which went the
secretary's surety will make good to tha
tasK'lation the shortage claimed, but under
provisions of thia bond the aseociation
muat first begin criminal proaecution. The
United Btatea Fidelity and Guaranty com
pany of Baltimore la the bending company j
and B. L. Baldwin at Co.. Omaha, are the
agents for it- The agenU say that when
they bxvs been apprised of the final
filing and swearing to of the Information
against Talbert that then notification will
be sent to the head offices of the company
and the money will be forthcoming.
Aa the reader may sea by glancing above,
Mrs. Ze.sler's program was an lnts:est.ng
one and cxuubiiej the pUUxt art ia many
varied styles and colors, ranging irom ths
strictly classical U the romant c school as
exemplified by Chopin snd Schumann,
further .-mbraclng music by the brilliant
Slavic genius, 1 scha-kowsky. and Debussy,
the ultra-modern impreaslublst-
Mrs. i.nsler's art is amply adequate to
the triumphant aocomplisnment of the
taaka set by her last evenings program.
She has temperament, which la. In the de
gree in which she possesses It. certainly
a rare and beautiful thing. But how much
more rare and beautiful it tweomes when
supported by a technique which seems to
be equal to the most exacting demands;
dominated by a mature and sound musician
ship: and safeguarded by a pelt and self
control worthy of the highest admiration.
For Mrs. Zelsler'a work, while highly emo
tional, is jet characterised by finish and
repose. She is temperate and does not go
Into any extremes ssve tha extremes of
fine taste snd ideal beauty. Although she
st times obtains effects which are almost
orchestral In their power, ahe never for
one moment croases over the boundary J
lir.e which separates beauty from harsh- j
ness, but produces tones remsrkable for j
their richness and color.
Mrs. Zeisler's delivery of tbe B flat
acherxa, by Chopin, was one ef the most '
masterly performances the writer has ever ,
heard. It was full of mystery, and breathed
the very atmosphere of romanticism. Two
other Chopin numbers, a waltx and an
etude, were played with such grace and
charm as to be urgently reflemanded. The
two Schubert-Lisxt numbers were slso
played with consummate skill, the cumula
tive climax which the artist wss able to
work up In the "Esrl-Klng" being posi
tively electrifying In Its effect.
Another Interesting number waa the
"Valse Parisienne." which waa composed
by the well known Viennese writer, Ed
ouard Schuett. and dedicated to Mra.
Zeialer. The Prelude by Debuasy faacinsted
bv Its shifting colors and ths glassy sheen
of Its harmonies. Polclinis' The Waltxlng
Doll." was added by Mrs. Zelsler at ths
cloe of the program.
Mlaa Horptr deeerves a vote of thanks
for providing the Omaha public another
opportunity of enjoying an evening of
music by Mrs. Zelsler. She has been an i
