Women to See Part
of the Big Den Show
at Ak-Sar-Ben Ball
At the coronation hah of the Ak-Sar-Ben
this year the concert portion of the
' Samson's wild animals howled and th
trained animals performed at the Den
Monday night for the benefit of 100
of the livest business men of Lin
coln, the guests of King Ak-Sar-Ben.
The entire performance was in honor of
Omaha's guest from the . capital c'ty
who broke away from their own state
fair and from the occasion of the' un
veiling of the Lincoln monument at the
state house grounds in order not to lose
out on the great circus put on for them
at the Den.
There was nothing spared. The circus
was all there. . There was no rolling up
of guy ropes nor pulling up of stakes in
the early part of the evening as there is
at the tent shows the small boys attend.
But the Llncolnguests got to see it all,
from the trained elephants to the bucking
steer; from the haunted house to the
bull' wrestling; from the cage of living,
breathing, if not gore-sweating, molly
coddles, to the sudden appearance ,of the
bowing, smiling Taft. followed by the
obedient G. O. P. ; the black-robed Prlnce
tonian professor endeavoring to manage
his long-sared, braying democracy, and
the Impetuous rough rider slamming his
hat in the ring and yanking in the wild
eytu and snorting bull moose.

This is the cheerful greeting given to
the visitors, written and composed by

SOUTH OMAHA AU10MATIC
5 PHONE EXCHANGE CLOSED
The South Omalia exchange cf the old
Independent " Telephone company was
. closed and discontinued Saturday night.
The exchange at Florence ' was discon
tinued some weeks ago. This leaves only
the Omaha exchange working. There are
- no more automatic telephones In Flor
ence or South Omaha. In Omaha some
2,000 are still In use. In the office of
the Nebraska Telephone company, which
is now the owner and operator of the
old independent system, there are orders
for the removal of 1,000 of the 2.000 that
are still In operation.: Those ordered out
are being removed at the rate of some
fifty or sixty per day. Whenever the auto
matics are all removed in Omaha the
exchange will be closed here, after which
arrangements will be made for the selling
of the exchange buildings.'
They have statesmen galore,
patriots by 'the score;
And laws can be had -for asking.
They have an , asylum or two,
Penitentiary too;
They'd have a lot more could they get
them.
And I'll give you a tip, ,
There'd be more here this trip,
If their guards and their keepers would
let them.

Chancellor Avery said there' had long
been" an alliance between the education
of the metropolis and t ie capital city
and "we now have an alliance of heads
and hearts," concluded the chancellor.
Bishop George A. Beecher said while
there were great Issues before us in the
present campaign, we had greater ones
in the moral Issues that confronted us.
"In order to save the boys and girls," he
said, "we must put into execution our
convictions."
- Governor Aldrich saicf Uie Samson show
and concert was without doubt or excep
tion the best . show he had ever. seen.
Speaking of the two cities represented
!ast night, he said: "W have the same.
Interests, the same lanip:at;e, we 'orsluj
at the same tnrone and we must ail work
on the broad princlple.of live tind Kit H"
and allow every Individual the oppor- ;
tunity to make, the , most of himself. ' j
Humorously alluding to- a trood-natured
political slam Richmond in'.i given him
In the Introduction, tho governor said:
Whatever comes up this fall I wt!l be
equal to the occasion -r.d I will be so
until after November 5, and then I will
go to the springs to get boiled out, as my

Proper Care of Hair
and Complexion
The worry and bother of wearing hair
nets and veils to make the hair stay up
a.nd conceal a dull, "stringy," unkempt
appearance can easily be avoided by stop
ping shampooing with soap. The "free"
alkali in soap Irritates the scalp, makes
the hair streaked, dull, coarse and brittle.
Shampoo with a teaspoonful of canthrox
dissolved in a cup of hot water and the
hair will always be light, fluffy and msy
to do up, besides looking deoldedly neat.
This shampoo lathers abundantly, dries
quickly, stops Itching scalp and cleanses
as no other shampoo will. The luxury of
extreme cleanliness which comes from
the us? of this shampoo has made it so
popular that many of the best hairdress
ers now use it exclusively. It is inexpen
sive and can be bought at any drug store.
To whiten and beautify face, neck and
arms, dissolve four ounces of spurmax
in a half-pint witch hail or hot water,
adding two teaspoonfuls glycerine. Ap
ply this lotton freely and it will tone up
the skin wonderfully and quickly. It
makes the skin soft and smooth, and will
remove that shiny, muddy look which Is
so annoying. This lotion will be found
much better to use than face powder, as
it does not rub off easily like powder nor
dues It give the face that "powdered
look." This spurmax lotion Is excellent for
removing .and preventing freckles, shap
ping and roughness of the skin. Adv.-
