Mini Fdllh Tobllt, librarian, presented her annual report for 1909 at the January mating of the library board. The report showed a R'n'ial Increase In ail depart ment! eticu as would naturally come with tho Increased growth nf the city. All linen of work were discussed very fully. A books . represent the stock of the public, library naturally most attention was given to this department. Six thousand four hundred and twenty-four books were added of which one-third were duplicates. Theso purchases represented a la: go col lection relating to useful arts, some books of architecture and many books In foreign language) 'is well as history, literature, fine arf ft, and . works on all subjects con tained In a popular library. The uso of books for home circulation In-creaV-d 12.0OJ volumes over 19uS. This U probably due to the growth of the city. Borrowers are Allowed two cards, one on which may bo drawn flctkm or any book and the, other only books which are not fiction,', A fiction finding list was dis tributed, ree of charge, to patrons. Lists of books III foreign languages and many sprclal (tats have made known to the pnlllo the contents of the library. Of all the books ltu:d the circulation of fiction wai but 08 per cent, a very low average. Generally libraries are credited with 1s aulng almost all fiction. The figures prove the fallacy of this. statement. The question. Is . frequently a.ked If It Is yet time to observe the benefit of the great attention' given to work among the children In libraries. The great increase In the' use of books In the adult department Is recognised as a result of this careful training of the children. The Rummer vacation club for boys and girls had a membership of seventy. Al mott ail of the iiieiiibtntg lead the required number of books. The story hour held once each, week has had a, largo attend ance. Tho Noise stories were told the first part of the year and later the stories of Charlerrt'agne asil his Puladln?. A col lection of books for the young people just leaving the children's room, has been gath ered together ;f or 'tli e 'se of the boys and girls who ars not yet ready to independ ently select" their books from the adult department, , . Books were Issued to the public schools, the parochial schools, the school for the deaf and many private schools. The cir culation Is entirely without membership cards, the- books being issued according to a special plan adopted by each school. The high school students have represented the largest percentage, of reference room visitors. Outside of the required reading, they havetiad assistance In the making of class programs, the selection of plays and dialogues and the preparation of the work for the debates. High school students from Benson South Omaha and Bellevue have also used' the library In connection with their debates. The largest bibliography of the year 'was the one prepared on the sub ject of French art for the Omaha Society of Fine Arts. .This brought Into use all of the material on the study of French art via yun idlers, hj; Camfbtlti Soup today!

The literature and the art departments of the Woman's club, the Mu Hlgma club, the Dundee Woman's club and the mis sionary societies have all been frequent users of the reference department. The directories and telephone books of other cities are In constant use by business men, also such reference handbooks as the Railroad Msnusl, Moody's Corporations and various state gazeteers. The reading room has added during 1909 a number of newspapers In foreign lan guages, also periodicals in foreign lan guages which were circulated after one month. This room contains, In an alcove, the collection of medical books largely pro vided by the members of the Douglas County Medical association. An unusually fine collection of medical periodicals was received through the courtesy of the med ical profession. Tho library has received for the museum a collection of Phnliesperiana, formerly owned by the Hon. Juni?s W. Savage, and now the property of Mrs. William Morris, who has also deposited In the Ilbrarj' the William Morris Ind'an collection. These collections arc not yet on exhibition, but will bo as soon as proper arrangements can be made. The librarian recommends that no new departure In the purchase of books be con sidered, but Instead that each department be strengthened and kept up to the highest standard. The librarian further recommends that all possible (efforts be put forth toward the establishment of distributing stations out side of the library. This will mean a large duplication of the popular books. The central library Is now serving as many peoplo as It can reasonably be expected to serve. The next Improvement must be for serve.

LIFE OF DR. JOHN B. LEARNED Massarhosetts Papers Give Extended Notlee to Father of Well Known i Omaha Attorney. Pprlr.gfleld, Mass., papers devote consider able space to the notice of the death of Dr. John B. Iearned of Florence, Mass., father of Myron Learned of Omaha. Dr. Learned, who was 71 years of age, had been very active, not alone In the practice, of medicine, but In other ways, He took great Interest In educational matters and served the public In this connection In rrany ways, chiefly as a member of the rchcol committee of Northampton. He was also Interested in horticulture and was farred for his strawberries. In his practice ho ( olved drugless treatment for Insomnia that brought him considerable notice, and he was called In many times when other remedies had failed, and met with unvary ing success In the application of his method. He was a member of the Free Congrega tional society of Northampton and was ac tive In the work of the church. Ihe Springfield Union, lit closing Its notice of Dr. Learned's death, gives this biography! Dr. Learned was born In Dana on Febru ary 1XH9. He was descended from Wil liam Learned, who came to this country from England In 1iS32. His mother, Murv Barr Learned, could also trace her ancestry back to the early part of the eighteenth century. When the doctor was 2 years old his parents moved to Whttingham, Vt., and later to Readsboro, where the doctor at tended the public schools and was gradu ated from Powers Institute. Bernardston. He taught school in ind about Rcadsboro for a short time and entered Dr. R. W. Bennett's office in Bennington and later attended the Berkshire Medical collage In Pittsfield, graduating from the medical de p: rtmcnt of Columbia college In New York City. He practised In South Vernon, Vt., for one year and then went to Readsboro, Vt., where he remained until lSt, when he came to Florerce. In ISSO he met with the carriage Occident and had to give up his practise tor a time and In fact never fully repainrd his health.

George Campbell of Wymore of the board of commissioners of Qage county does not give credence to the report, that tho snow has had the effect of rotting the winter wheat to any perceptible ex tent. "On the contrary," said Mr. Campbell, "In my thirty or more years residence In Nebraska I have never seen the winter wheat In finer condition than It la now. The snow blanketed the ground before It had a chance to freeie and the wheat has been given a substantial start, "The wheat fields in Douglas, Sarpy, Lincoln, Saline and Oage countlea, where the (now had gradually thawed away, have a bright, healthy and vigorous ap pearance. The growth Is not rank, but It Is remarkably even, and I am looking for one of the best crops of wheat we have ever had In southern Nebraska. It will take an unprecedentedly severe spell of weather to hurt the wheat now." Chamberlain's Cough Remedy Is pleasant to lake. Children like It. Some Things You Want to Know The English Elections How the Newspapers Fight.- The English newspapers In a political campaign go quite as wild as the public speakers or their friends, the hecklers. The Ind'-pendent Journal is all but unknown, every newspaper Is a party organ, and every one goes Its full length In praise of Its candidates and In derogation of thoe of the other party. Tho liberal newspapers refer to their conservative contemporaries as the yellow press, always with capital letters. The torles retort by calling the radical papers "socialistic rags." But neltlier over admits defects In Its own party or sees virtue In the opposition. It may be said that many American news papers arq quite the same during political campaigns, and It Is true In many In stances, so far as the editorial columns are concerned. But no d.illy newspaper In the United States, however partisan on Its edi torial page, would dare to use Its news columns ss do the British papers. The British press for so many year has congratulated Itself upon Its superiority above American Journalism that even Americans are Ircllned to credit the Eng lish boasts. It Is true that big headlines are rot used In the English papers, and therefore the outward and visible signs so often associated with yellow Journalism are not In evldenco In England. . But It Is possible to be "yellow" In small type, and even tinder small headlines which give no hint whatever of the nature or character of the article which follows. .The methods of the British press In campaign time leave no doubt on that score. In the first place, nearly every English newspaper occupies the relation of "organ" to one of the two principal parties, and nearly every one Is further Identified with some particular clique or following. The party organs are slavishly devoted to par titan Interests as American newspapers were forty years ago. During this parliamentary campaign one cf the London evening papers published an article on the sensational press in the United States, declaring that the "authori ties" In America recognised that some thing must be done to correct the evils of the utter and absolute untrustworthlneas of the American press. In the same article It was charged that thoughtful Americans fear that the United States Is about to come under the domination of a newspaper oligarchy, representing the worst and most sensational section of the American press. The article concluded with an Indictment of the American newspapers for the "im propriety" of each newspaper having Its own policy with respect to public affairs. At that time the campaign was In Its Climacteric week and the newspapers were flooded with election news vastly more space being devoted to politics than Is given by American newspapers. One news paper had a review, by constituencies, of all tbe London and nearby contests. In each and every case the special corre spondent pointed out that the ''right man" could not possibly fall of election. An op position newspaper on the same day, In the news columns, claimed every one of these seats for Its party, each paper de plored the Indecent tactics of the opposi tion party In each constituency, and each accused the other of all sorts of outrages and misdemeanors, Mr. Lloyd-Oeorge In a speech about the merchant marine referred to the British tonnage of eleven millions. The telegraph wires got twisted and In many newspa pers he was made to say L 100.000,000. The error was palpable, but the conservative press 'gave great space and prominent headlines to what was called another ex ample of the chancellor's Inexactitude. Im mediate correction was made, of course, but many of the papers did not print it. One of the principal morning papers printed the correction, but placed It with out ft headline as a two-Una note under a letter from a contributor gently calling Mr. Lloyd-George a liar. Over the whole was a prominent headline "The Chancel lor's Error." The principal newspapers. Instead of de voting space to an exposition of the Issues they represented, printed long accounts of the heckling of peers and stories of the unpopularity of the Tory leaders. They made no effort to refute the arguments of the other party by publishing news ar ticles giving the facts in the controversy, but contented themselves with long and heavy edltorUils about the constitutional questions Involved. The news oolumns were devoted entirely to the smallest Items of Inconsequential news from the various local fights not one n a thousand of which could get by the desk of an Amer ican news editor. The conservative newspapers were much more effective in their style of campaign ing, although they laid themselves open to the charge of representing the yellowest of all yellow Journalism. To read a stout tory paper Curing the campaign one would have believed that the German invasion JOHN SMITH CUT IN FIGHT Colored Man Severely Hort, bat Caase f Trouble Does Not Appear. . John Smith, colored, was badly cut last night In a fight at Smith's home, 1600 Burt street. Officer Anderson arrested Albert Harper for being Implicated In the fight, but Harper says he was not the man who did the cutting. Officer Egan, patrol conductor, went to the place and found Smith bleeding pro fusely from seven bad cuts on his shoulders and arms. The Injured man was taken, to the police station, where his wounds were dressed by assistant police surgeons. . but Smith would not allow them to sew up the cuts and he was taken to his home, where a colored surgeon was called. Smith says a colored man named Ed Morris did the cutting. . There were three men In the fight, but Smith declares that Morris was the one who wielded the knife. Smith Is a hodcarrlrr and one of the best men physically among the colored popula tion. When arrested he had a revolver of large caliber with him, but It was not alleged that he mode any effort to use it on his assailants. Smith would not tell what caused the fight, but Harper says It was "nothing but a row." PIONEERS' MIDWINTER PARTY Washington's Birthday Chosen for Social of Dun alas Connty Association. At the recent meeting of the general com mittee having charge of the arrangements for the midwinter social of the Douglas County Association of Nebraska Pioneers, these were named as chairmen of the sev eral subcommittees: Program, A. N. Tost; refreshments, Mrs. R. H. Walker; decora tions, Frank Dellone; flowers, Mrs. . Hattle Fox; music, Mrs. A. Sorenson; reception, Joseph Redmsn. Tbe general committee will meet again Thursday, February 10. The midwinter social will be held In Mraonle hall the afternoon of February tl. Try Chamberlain's Cough Remedy when you hsve a cold and you will be pleased with the prompt relief afforded, could not possibly be postponed for more than two days; that the whole country was In financial ruin and wreck: that the radical leaders wero all anarchists with designs on the life and property of all the rich; and that another liberal victory would be a license to the mob to plunder and sack. No American newspaper, In the onslaughts against political "burglars has ever used stronger language than was applied every day In scores of conservative newspapers to the liberal leaders. At the very last of the' campaign. Just as the polls were opened. "The Times," the most staid, dignified and solemn of all Journals, compressed Its views Into this sentence: "The liberals apparently rely upon the black bread fiction, at which educated Germany Is laughing, on pension lies, on Impudent appeals to every form of Ignorance, and ' on the Invective of the gutter." Probably one-half of the space devoted to politics In the newspapers was given over to our old friends, "P. B. Publico," and "Veritas." Sometimes these com munications were Interesting, but usually they were merely long-winded expositions of personal views, or labored and extended explanations Of trivial Incidents. The organs on neither side made any use of the news article bearing on controverted policies. Although both parties maintained effective lMerary bureaus and sent out great quantities of exceedingly attractive campaign documents and arguments, the newspapers made no use of this material except when they reproduced some pictorial poster, or when they quoted from such documents for the purpose of Inviting the public to purchase thern In pamphlet form. The "Interview," the great American channel of distributing political news and views, is not used at all. The public men make all their announcements and argu ments lit their speeches; and If occasion demands an , Immediate statement it is made in the form of a letter to some politi cal friend, and the letter Is then made publto through the press, j One difficulty about the interview In England Is that the ordinary newspaper reporters are not. given that confidence which is reposed In them by American political leaders. .This Is not because the British reporters are untrustworthy, for the opposite is the case. It Is because the stratified and .classified constitution of British society makes the London reporter get his news from the fourth under-asslst-ant secretary, instead of from the cabinet member himself, as does tho Washington correspondent Exceptions are made, of course, In favor of the most prominent Journalists. , The tory papers mode the most of Lloyd George's escape. . In policeman's clothing: from the mob In. Blnrmlngham, where he was to address a pro-Boer meeting, anft continually reprinted It They repeated over and over, after many denials, what Was known as the "Lord Savile charge," or the "Lord Savile He." according to your politics, that Mr., Lloyd-George hadcheered a British defeat In the South African war while in his seat in the commons. At the Instance of the chancellor. Lord Savile re tracted the charge, but the press kept It up. The liberal newspapers, supporting the government, poked fun at the noble lords In a fashion which would have done credit to America's liveliest Journals. They , said the peer's speeches reeked of the stables and that pertain particular peers, naming names, ought to learn how to be gentlemen first and noblemervJater. . Compared with American newspapers the British Journals. ;in political activity are directed with less, skill, are more partisan, are more given over to abuse and unsup ported denunciation of the other side. . Charges of corruption do not appear In the British press as freely as they do In the Amerlcal papers at election times. There are two reasons corruption Is not nearly . so prevalent on account of the stringent laws, arid things which are con sidered corrupt in the United States are here condoned ,or looked upon as quite light. For Instance, the press of an American city would ring with charges of corruption If a representative of a certuln railroad combine were to run for con gress for the express and avowed purpose of representing that railway I system. It Is done by Indirection, of course, but no one would dare to do It openly. In England the groat business cpneerns have men In Parlia ment as a matter of right. English elec tions are much more free from corruption than American. , but the British press can not successfully claim the seme superiority. Over here a man yho reads "The Dally News'' is' utterly Impossible as a social acquaintance. .. .thinks the conservative; while the reader of "The Dally Express" is looked upon by all , good liberals as a potential cracksman. They take things seriously over here, . BY rBIDEBIO J. KABKX2T. Tomorrow ABIZOWA. HOTEL MEN AFTER SWINDLERS Detective System to Be Evolved at Meeting la Chicago Called br F. J, Taggart of the Loyal.

Bouvler, who came to Nebraska with his parents In April, 1854, Is still living on the old homestead taken up by his father near DeSoto, Washington oounty, in that year. Mr. Bouvler, though one of the youngest in years, ranks as one of the earliest pio neers of the state. He has distlnot recollec tions, as a child, of the pioneer days when Omaha consisted of but three or four apol ogies for log cabins. He is the proud possessor of a badge, pre sented him at the last meeting of the Ne braska Pioneers' association In Lincoln, which is given only to the earliest settlers of the state. The badge is a metalllo affair upon the face of which there Is represented In relief a prairie schooner, drawn by an ox team, passing a group of three Indlun tepees. The badge Is suspended from a bar of the same .material on which Is the word "Nebraska," In relief. The lettering on the badge gives the date of the arrival of the possessor and his name. All of the older pioneers will be furnished with these badges by the state association. Mr. Bouvler well remembers when the Mormons were encamped at Florence, and he frequently vlsltsd their encampment. He has also an Illuminated map, representing the Mormon migration from Nauvoo, III., In 1846. The map shows the date of each camp, rm.de by this first migration and how long the Mormons remained In each place. It also has a good picture of Brig ham Toung.
