A few hundred editors of Nebraska
and parts of Iowa were treated to
Ak-Sar-Ben's best, and Ak-Sar-Ben's
most atrocious last night at the old
Den. The editors dined r.s the guests
of the Commercial club at 6 o'clock
and immediately following the din
ner were hurried to the Den where
all the goats, rhinuceri, boa-constrictors
and hyenas had long gnashed
their jaws and whetted their fangs
against the coining of these quill
slingers.
Chief of Police Dunn, in his role
as John Darm, had some conspicu
ously infernal engines with which to
torture the newspapermen with whom
he has long wanted a setto. W. H.
Weeks had his tussle with the big
bear, and Charley Kuhle engaged in
a mortal combat with the most mili
tant goat outside kaiserdom.
I he initiation la growing better
with constant use. The show, the
burlesque "Queen of Hair Island,"
grows more entertaining as new fea
tures are added and as others are
patched up. Charley Dochertv ap
peared on the stage for the first time
this season. He is in the role of Sandy
Haig, the Highlander, who does a bal
let with the queen, and Docherty docs
nicely as a Scotchman, twirling madly
on oi.e toe with one finger bored
down in his scalp and the other hand
on his hip.
Barber in Fine Trim.
L. N. Bunce as the official barber
of Hair Island, brings the chuckles
readily with his huge lawn mower as
he thunders cast-iron-shod over the
pack of new converts, who must be
shaven before knighted. Queen Goo
Goo of Hair Island was in her glory

one of them who told what the west

of Aurora, president of the Editorial

the editors and their relation to Ne

Regular Customers at
Den Call for Near Beer
"Give us near-beer I" is the plain
tive cry that has now reached the
ears of the board of governors from
the parched throats of hundreds of
loyal Knights of Ak-Sar-Ben.
"If we can't have the real thing.
give us the next best," implore those
wno tormerly doted on the brown
October ale feature of the Monday
night revels, while even those who
never indulged in the flowing bowl
agree that something lighter and eas
ier to swallow than buttermilk is
necessary to wash down those pala

Accordingly the board is contem
plating merely contemplating in
stalling a tew barrels of the approxi

Washington, June 19. (Special
Telegram.) From the mayor's chair
in a western Nebraska town to the
stoke hole of one of Uncle Sam's big
battle cruisers. .
This prospect was facing E. H.
Evans, a young attorney of North
Platte, Neb., when he reported for
duty at the naval receivingship at
Norfolk, Va. Evans had been suc
ceeded in office at North Platte after
completing his third term, but a short
time when he enlisted in the navy.
With him went Albin W. Sandall, a
prominent young grocer of the town.
Both were assigned to duty as
stokers.
Both men are from the Nebraska
"Big Sixth" congressional district and
"Uncle Mose" Kinkaid interceded
with the Navy department.
Jn view of the patriotism exhibited
by the two men in leaving good posi
tions to accept appointment as naval
firemen, the Nebraska congressman
had no difficulty in inducing Secretary
Daniels to order their advancement to
the rank of apprenticed seamen, where
they will have only deck duty to per
form and where they will be given
opportunity for advancement.

Aged Man Asphyxiated
By Gas from Kitchen Stove
S. B. Jewell, aged 65 years, living
with his daughter, Mrs. J. W. Mor
ford, 3812 North Twentieth street,
was asphyxiated by gas yesterday.
He had been in the habit of getting
up early and making himself a cup of
coffee before the family had break
fast. It is presumed that he sought
to do the same thing this morning.
When Mr. and Mrs. Morford arose
before 7 o'clock, they noticed the odor
of gas coming from the kitchen. Go
ing there they found Mr. Jewell sit
ting in a chair, his head leaned over
the gas stove. From one of the burn
ers of the stove the gas was escaping,
the valve turned full on. A coffee pot
containing water was sitting on the
stove.
The presumption is that Mr. Jewell
lighted the gas burner and busied
himself getting ready to prepare his
coffee. In some unaccountable man
ner the gas flame became extinguish
ed and he did discover it in time to
prevent becoming asphpyiated.
Omaha Has Best Janitor
In the United States
Victor Danielson, janitor at Lake
school for twenty-five years, is the
most efficient public school janitor in
the United States. .
This is the recommendation offered
by Dr. George D. Strayer of Colum
bia university, school survey expert,
who has been here in the employ of
the Board of Education, making a
survey of the buildings and physical
equipment of the school system.
Dr. Strayer has visited manv of the
cities of this country and is recog
nized as an authority in his line of
work. He observed that Lake school
is an old building, but he found it
in apple-pie order in every detail
connected with the work of the jani
tor. He told the school board that
Mr. Danielson's work should not go
unnceaea.
