A CARLOAD people went out to Scott's Bluff today to see what we have to offer, to see. if the country la as good as we have claimed, to see If the soil Is as represented and to look Into the water supply. They will find that THE HALF HAS NOT BEEN TOLD and In less than twenty-four hours they will be the most enthusiastic bunch of peo ple you ever saw. This Is no prophecy, but a mere statement of what has taken place on every trip we have made Into "Ameri ca's Valley of the Nile." Even the Swedish people, who are by no means ex citable, are very much interested In Our New Swedish Colony It Is located near Bayard, Morrill county, and la a line tract of land, about six sec tions, or 44 eighty-acres farms. We have agreed to set aside 60 ceuts an acre on this tract to be used in the construction of a Swedish church, which is the center of each Bwedlsh community. You will find no better opportunity for a home or Investment than the Scott's Bluff country, and the land la going fast. Why wait until the best is sold and then con demn yourself for not buying when the land was cheap?

A inusicale of unusual excellence and quality was given last evening at the Lyrlo theater. The program was given by Mrs. L. F. Crofoot, Mrs. E. Lee McShane, Miss Frances E. Nash, Mis Eloise Wood and Mr. Martin W. Bush, all of whom are advanced pupils of Mr. Max Landow. Invitations were issued to 200 friends of the artists, making this one of the largest social affairs of the week. The ease with which the difficult numbers were given displayed a remarkable development and the audience showed keen appreciation ot the different number. The first number, "Laendler," for two pianos, op. 64, by Alexis Hollaender, played by Miss Wood and Mr. Bush, was well re ceived. Miss Nash played the first move ment of the concerto in C minor by Camllle Saint-Saens. 'The young artist has splen did technique and a charming personality which wins her audience. She play with unusual ease and comprehension. Mr. Lundow played the accompaniment to the concerto on a second piano. For encore Miss Nash played a pastorale by Scar latti. . . t. , "Prelude et Fugue, op. 6," Glavomo, Sgambatl, was "given by Mr. Bush. The breadth of expression and execution of this difficult jiui'uber displayed considerable ability. "Die IKpra,? by Lizst, was played as encore. "fX "Caprice Mefa'noollque." for two pianos, composed by Reynaldo Hahn, was played by Mrs. Crofoot and Mr. Landow. The in terpretation and execution were excellent and the player were recalled. Mrs. Cro foot gav "Cortege," by Claude Debussy, and "Two Etudes," by Choptn, with' great brilliancy and expression. Her host of friends wish they might have the oppor tunity of hearing her often. Mrs. McShane and Mr. Landow gave "Andante Variations." for two pianos, op. 46, by Kobert Schumann. This Is the first appearance in Omaha of Mrs. McShane in musical circles, to which she Is a welcome acquisition.' Miss Wood rendered "Hochzeltsmarsch und Elfenrelgen," by Mendelssohn-Llsst. This transcription of Mendelssohn's wed ding march is quite difficult and was given with excellent technique. This number was especially appropriate, as Miss Wood's wedding takes place within a fortnight "Reverie," by Richard Strauss, was given as encore. "Concerto D minor (first movement"), Anton Rubinstein, played by Mr. Bush, ac companied by Mr. Landow on a second piano, was a fitting finale to the splendid program. Mr.' Bush played with expres sion and skill. Many beautiful floral tributes 'wer ent to the artists. E. T.

IY.THE Dottie Dialogues BY WALTER A. SINCLAIR. "Let us take steps to prevent gossip," said Dottle. "Front steps, eh?" I Inquired, seating myself beside her on one of the stone steps leading to tho house door. "Yes the flight of fancy young man's fancy," she answered. "I don't fancy it much," I objected. "Isn't this a rather public place for you to sit beside the handsome stranger, with his cussed city way, who's liable" "Ah! but are you liable? Financially, that Is, if there was a suit?" "Spring suit? My tailor doesn't seem to think so," I admitted. "But Isn't the sea son a bit too changeable to be giving this public view speaking in an art term?" "Maybe this Is the family's regular night for having the use of the parlor I mean living room. Dear me! How could I have been so antique as to call It parlor? That sounds too much like pool at two-and-a-half cents a cue, or um Ice cream," she concluded, pensively. "Shudderous thought!" I exclaimed. "But I know why you want to sit out here you're afraid somebody may steal your front lawn and carry It away In hi pocket." "I won't have our lawn slandered," she cried, Indignantly. "No, and you probably won't have your lawn lawndered," I punned. "Let' see. There's one blade of grass no, I do be lieve there are two! With two blades you could cut all the rest of the grass, if there should be a third blade." "Sounds like, you were talking about a Jack knife," she murmured. "They don't look like very gay young blades," I agreed. "Do you sprinkle the lawn with a fountain pen filler and mow It with a safety razor?" "My reason for sitting here ought to be plain," she resumed. 0 Open-Work Stockings Will Be Stylish This Year There Is nothing unusual about the stockings this season, but there Is a de cided preference for the old-fashioned white openwork hose In cotton, lisle thread and silk. Writing the last word brings to my mind an exquisite pair of stockings I was privileged to see recently. These were for a wealthy June bride, and few maidens will be able to buy such costly hose, I know, but I am sure veryon will .like to hear about them. They were of Ivory whit silk, th thread finer than a hair seemingly and Inset with lace motif reaching from the toe of the slipper to above the ankle. The lace was about three Inches in width at the widest part. The ends tapered. The lace was fine old Brussels point, the design a heart pierced by an arrow laid upon a pillow of orange blossoms. The little archer with bow extended was worked In above the heart and the border waa of bowknot and ribbon effect, each knot catching a spray of orange blossom. Th stitches were the tiny. In fact, some almost needed magnifying glasses to see their teauty. The price wa $100, and It eemed not too large. The average bride will no doubt feel Just a happy In the possession of simple white silk stockings, daintily embroidered, or In s pair of fin openwork hose in lisle thread. Either kind 1 dainty and cost only $1 a pair. Large design are not favored this year except by the few who like extremes in dress. Instead, such figures as bo knots, the conventional fleur-de-ly. single daisies, small spray of forgut-me-nots, etc., are liked. mm NEW YORK PajTELEGRAII (NEW YORK HERALD "before June :5th." "Nothing about you could be plain," I assured. "Ah, the south wind," she exclaimed. "Can't you see that some new neighbors are moving in over there? It's the local custom to oversee the Job and appraise their furniture. They lived in a four-room apartment In a place that had uniformed hall service, stationary Ice boxes and mov able rents." "Marvelous, my dear Holmes, marvel ous!" I cried. "How the deuce do you de duce It?" "Perfectly simple, my dear Watson meaning that the explanation is simple and not that you are," she diagrammed. "I know that they lived in a four-room apartment because they have such skimpy little mess of furniture. It'll ba lost In that house and all the neighbors The polka dot In aelf and contrasting tones I popular. The newest In hose for wear with linen suits Is a fine whit cot ton embroidered with clocks in color. Just now the bright cherry is preferred when the suit Is white; others go farther and demand the entire stocking of this brilliant hue. A blue linen frock worn with whlto stockings showing blue clocks, the shoe In blue to match the gown, would be smart. Stockings In gray, tan, London smoko, THE HARD PART. I suppose writing poetry come natural to him." "Yet. more CAtural than placlsj itr C0 M Rtfita Several Steps Off the Beaten Path and a Moon. are saying that now. They had stationary Ice boxes because they haven't brought any along, while a glance at th man's nose will show that they need an Ice box. And surely any pair that can afford to , rent that house and still look so poor must have had some big expense like tlping hall ' service to keep them that way." "Marvelous!" I echoed. "And I'd add that they must have failed to tip the van men from the way that husky is tipping that cheval glass against the bedstead. I suppose they'll fill up the house to Impress the neighbors, even If it breaks them." "Yes, indeed," she assented. "And there ought to be some law against those Install ment people having their signs painted on their delivery vans. Why, I never wav a mortified yes, I was, too, on Sunday.! Wi straw hat" ' "There's a man at the bottom of It!" 1 exploded, Incredulously. "What do you think? Mr. Knowles wan dering up here with one this early!" sh declared. "If memory serves me aright."
