On January 21, at the same time and place, Mr. Powys will give a second lecture on Shakespeare and on February 11. will give a return address on "Dos toievsky, the Soul of Russia." Omaha women who have heard Powys are most enthusiastic over the coming series of talks. Mrs, Lowrie Childs and Mrs. Warren Blackwell and Mademois elle Andre of Brownell Hall are among the local women who have heard Powys' lectures In the east. Mr. Powys waa by far the moat popular lecturer In New York thla season, giving no less than forty lecturers.

Mr. Powys is now in America oa his tenth lecture tour and will deliver 160 lectures before he returns to his beautiful Sngllsh home In the County Susez, near the historic Castle of Arundel. Protests against the city coinmis fcion's limited budget allowance for public library purposes are being made by residents of outlying dis titcts of the city, who for a year or more have been petitioning for es tablishment .of library stations In their neighborhood. With only JlO.nn) allowed for the public I libraries of both OiiihIis and South j Omaha in !!!, no new deposit stations ran ne opened lor at least a year, mem bers of the library board say. The limited allowance also means that few, if any, new books ran be purchased, a' though additions are badly needed ti take the place of many books wo.-n on'., and also to keep the library apace with new fiction. Same as Last Year. An allowance of over Vw.OOO was esti mated by the library board to be necessary for its running expenaee this year.

Twenty f.iuith and Iake district, North Slx;.entl meet district and eight or nine Mhers. "ome May Rrtlin. Persons Interested In the advancement of the public library Intimate that reslfj natlons from tne library board may result from the limited budget, as several mem bers of the board are said to have de clared that their efforts were futile and disheartening, with insufficient funJs for library purposes. They serve without salary, ana have sought to have the city government allow a generous budget for the library as a matter of chic pride and efficiency. Among the hundreds of signers of peti tions for new library deposit stations, all of whom will be disappointed this year, are the following: K. V. Oepson. Principal of Fort school; J. A. Frye, pres ident of Central Park Social and Olvtc center; Rev. George Mactoougall; R. H. Morton, commercial agent or the Wa bash railroad. Prominent cltiiene, either foreign born or of foreign extraction, are also ex pressing disappointment over the limited library budget, as they have been seek ing to have mors books in foreign lan guages added to the library shelves. iimn mil aa,V I W.

Union Pacific Has Corralled a Gang of Boxcar Thieves In the arrest of Joe Ferguson, John Kern, Oscar Salstrom and Clare Millard at North Bend last Saturday, officials of the aecret service department of the fnlon Pacific believe that they have broken up a gang that has been robbing freight cars along the eastern division of the road during the last two or three months. The method adopted by the car thieves was to gain entrance to a merchandise car while the train waa standing at soma station. After the train started and had reached a point some dlstanoe from town the parties in the car would throw out boxes of merchandise at, or near ptaoea agreed upon and then get out of the oar and off the train at the next stop. Sub sequently, with a team, the confederates would drive alonslde of the track and gather up the stolen goods. A search of the homes of the men ar rested at North Bend, it la assorted, dis closed the presence of a large quantity of canned goods and other merchandise, much of It In the original boxes and cases when shipments from Omaha were made. r.eoil for Slek Headaches.
