PRIZED MAGAZINE
GIVEN TOJIBRARY
Charles S. Elgutter Makes Gift of
Only Copy of Illustrated World
Now in Existence.
PUBLISHED HERE IN 1891
A recent and highly prized acqui
sition of the Omaha public library
U a copy of the Illustrated World,
No. 1, Vol. 1 Incidentally, the only
number ever published a journal
devoted to art, music and literature,
tlat made Us appearance In Omaha
In May, 1891.
This copy, probably the only one
in existence, was presented to the
library by Charles S. Elgutter.
To the older Omahana and thou who
were Interfiled In the 'art clrclee of tha
city a quarter of a century ago tha story
of the publication of th me and only
number of the Illustrated World la more
or less familiar.
Dr. John Flood came to Omaha to es
tablish a school for muslo and fine arts,
and also for the purpose of editing: a
magazine to be devoted to art and muslo,
a publication which wac to be national in
scope.
' Artlat Broaaht Omaha.
He received the encouragement ot O.
y', Ilnlnircr, through whose indorsement
a school was opened In the Bee building;.
J. Laurie Wallace was brought to Omaha
and made art director of the new school.
It was Dr. Flood's purpose to make the
-Illustrated World the official organ ot
the woman's section of the Columbian
exposition at Chicag-o. The Illustrated
World, of which only the one number
waa published, was the result of his ef
forts to establish such a journal.
On the advice ot Mr. Llnlnger Dr. Flood
secured Mr. Elgutter to edit the first
number. The first number met with con
siderable success, which was due In some
measure to the fact that It had aa a
frontispiece a cut of the famous painting,
"The Return of Spring," which at the
time was receiving much attention In art
ircles everywhere by reason of Its muti
lation while on exhibition in Omaha.
The 111 health of Dr. Flood and the loss
of financial expectations In establishing
tnese institutions resulted la the cessa
tion of tha Illustrated World with the
first number and the discontinuation of
i
i
the School of Fine Arts.'

Trade Unionists
Anti-Booze League

League of Nebraska" Is the title of an
organization by local members of various
trades unions.

of labor organisations. I. J. Copenhaive

ident; A. , Redgwlck of the carpenters,

kind In the Vnlted States, and it is ex
pected that branches will be established
throughout Nebraska within the next few
weeks... u
Tbe object of tha league is set forth n
the following statement:
The object of this league is to Impress
upon ttie general public that certain
"labor organization' and "trades union
Illwrty leaKuea," controlled by the llguot
Interests, do not voice the true sentiment
of labor organizations of Nebraska in
their effort to make it appear that the
lHOorlng dais is suhxervlont to the whlmt,
of said lluor industry.
It shall be the aim of this organisation
to publicly disclaim in every way possible
that union labor of Nebraska looks upon
the use- of liquor as an aid to Us welfare
end advancement; but rather that the
se of intoxicating liquor is the greatest
haniclrap union labor has to contend with
In making its fight for Justice for the
working class.
The members of this league resent any
effort of the liquor element to place
?!?IS.?ir f Nrbr"" ,n th attitude
of supporting an Industry that never has
and never ran aid the working man In

REALTY HAN BITES
ON OLD FUR GAME
v -
Smooth Talking Stranger Works
Ten-Spot Oat of a Shrewd
Land Salesman.
HE SAID HE WOULD RETURN
' "Now1, this may sound like a fishy
story to you, but it's a raft,"" with
these words a handsome, smooth
gent breezed tip to Georga A. Jones
ir. the real estate office of A. P.
Tukey eV Son.
Jones adjusted his glasses, and
looked the fellow over.-,
"There," said the stranger,, and he
threw a handsome set of dark brown
furs on the table. Huge muff and
neck piece the set consisted of, and,
ch, how rich and brown they looked.
"These go at your own price," said the
stranger. "I don't want to pick them up
off that table again. If you'll give me
half what they're worth. That's up to
you. If you want them speak quick. If
not, I'll be on my way. I'm out here
broke and tha house has called me back
to New Tork. I must leave for the east
today. These are my samples, and I'm
going to let them go.
"What do I want for them? Say, that's
a tW set of furs, anl If you'll give me
$25 cash they're yours, for I haven't time
to peddle them around. I've got to catch
my train."
Of Dark Rich Hroe,
Jones ran his hand over the fur. He
blew on the furs Jus', like an expert.
Sura enough the rich dark brown ran
clear to the skin.
"Tell you." said Jones, "I don't want
your furs, but If you need money I'll give
you $10 for m."
Mr. Fur Man threw up his hands. He
asked Jones If he were not ashamed to
make an offer like that.
Jones wasn't a bit ashamed.
He told Jones what an ungentlemanly
thing It was to take advantage of a fel
low who had to eaten a train In a few
minutes and who had to sell quick for
that reason.
Still tha real estate man was unmoved.
"No." said the stranger, "I can't sell
them to you for that. I'll tell you what,
though, I need that $10, and I'll leave
the furs with you for security. Here's
my card. Will you give me your word
that when I write for the furs and re
turn the $10 to you, you" will forward
the furs back' to me at New Tork?"
Jonea promised. The stranger thanked
him for loaning him the $10 on the furs
and bowed out of the door.
The real estate man blew on tire furs
again. Again the rich brown disclosed
Itself. 'Then' he took them to an expert
furrier In Omaha. - ;
The furrier, blew Into them Just once,,
and ran his hand over them briskly. He
summed up his verdict in one word:
Rabbit." , - ' ' '.,
