Arts Society Friday
John Oowper Pawyi of Oxford, Eng
land, often mentioned as the most
brilliant and dramatic lecturer on litera
ture of this generation, will address the
Omaha Society of Fine Arts, Friday
afternoon at 4 o'clock, at the Hotel Fon
tenelle. "Masters of the Grand Style,
Bante," will be his subject for thla
lecture. 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. The crowda
were ao great that he had to move from
the Cort theater to the Hudson,' a much
larger theater.
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. The
MO.fl" granted when the city commis
sioners made up the budget iast wek,
will only equal the expenses of I.TO.VO
j fur Omaha and $!., ion for ,"outh Omaha
unruly iai year, wnen everything waa
op a basis of Miiy i I out 60 per cent of
tlmt needed for fcie-Uest efficiency, uays
Mias Tobitt. the librarian.
Among resident districts that have
been petitioning for a library station, and
will now have to get along without one
for at least another year, ore the fol'ow
Ing; Central Park district. 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.

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.

SCHOOL CHILDREN HAVE
IMPEDIMENTS OF SPEECH
President Ernst of the Board of Edu
cation has received from the superin
tendent of sohools a statement showing
that 147 boys and girls In the public
schools have speech Impediments.
Moat of tha afflicted children are boys.
Health Commissioner Connell re
ports an improvement In the scarlet
fever situation, with an Increase of
grip. He was asked to say a few
.ords of advice on the subject of
&rip.
"Grip tills season docs not appear to
start on victims with as much severity
as last season. The effects are just as
serious." he said. "My advice Is not to
try to wear it out. because the chances
are you will aggravate the case and It
will wear you out. Better go to bed
when the fliwt symptoms appear and In
that manner give your body a chance to
fight the disease. Grip Is caused by a
distinct poison In the system."
The doctor stated that many case of
rrlp thla seaaon develop into pneumonia.
Hla advioe is to give heed to tha first
symptona and take to bed and thus give
the healthy germs a better opportunity
to combat the disease germs.

Uane sphere In a little cottonwood
house at Eighth and Marcy streets,

28 degrees below rero that day. Some

Mr. Kleffner takes down the ahadowy
volumns In the hallowed library of mem

'Johnny Mulvihill was given a lot on
Ninth street, because of being the first
white boy born In the village of Omaha.
Tha lot is now occupied partly by the
Carpenter Paper company and partly by
the Byrne Hammer Dry Goods company.
"It stood right across tha street from
the old Cossena hotel, built by George
Francis Train. Mr. Train was eating
dinner at the Herndon house one day
when a pane of glass was broken. He
hired a waiter to stand in front of tha
broken window and while he finished his
repast ha declared he would build a de
cent hotel and have It opened within
ninety days. He did it, too. It waa tha
Cossens hotel.
"The Cossens hotel was afterward
given to the Presbyterian Theological
seminary by Mrs. William Thaw, mother
of tha celebrated Harry, and there tha
seminary waa conducted until Its present
home waa provided."
Mr. Kleffner was a member of the first
class to enter the original high school
building. Classes had been conducted at
tha Pacific school and when the new
building waa opened tha students paraded
up the streets from tha old to tha new
home, headed by Prof. Beals, who was
than principal.
Mr. Kleffner haa been in tha govern
ment servioa twenty-eight years.
In congratulating him on his fifty
third birthday Postmaster Wharton pro
moted him to the rank of "colonel."
