OVERIIEATED ROOMS.
Some Points on n Subject of Timely
Interest.

With the approach Of winter the question
Of heating residences during the cold term
becomes timely. II has long been a SUBJ
ject OF complaint on the part of some Euro
peans that American houses are overheated.
II Is also clsimed that one result Of this
overheating Is that Americans are more
subject to lung or throat diseases than they
would be II their houses were kept at
lower temperature during the winter. This
Is probably true up to certain point, conf
ments the Boston Advertiser, but there are
some ways in which the danger can ba
avoided even where the temperature OF resi-.
dences Is not low.
person who passes from an oyerheated roort
into the cold air OF the streets is in serioui
danger OF catching cold Consequently
many persons stay indoors In the winter
time because they do not Ike TO run the
risk OF catching cold by going out In this
they often mako a decided mistake. because
the majority OF colds are not caught by
going from a warm temperature into
cold temperature. provided the person max
ing the change INDUCES In reasonable eNer-
else, and does not remain cut doors too
long. Tho real danger Of catching cold
comes upon tho return into warm room.
AS matter OF fact, many physicians hold
to the belief that the stimulation OF the
circulation and nerves caused by warm
room often prevents a person from catching
cold when going into temperature that Is
In the nelghborhood OF zero. The danger
rather comes In the sudden rush OF per-
son, chilled by intense cold, into an ex-
Ccsslyely warm room II yestibule or walt
ing room were maintained In most houses
at a temperature OF about 60 or 60 de-
grees, and a pause were made there after
coming In from a walk In the winter air.
colds would not be so frequent In this eoun-
try. The suggestion is worth needing.

ARE NOT WILLING TO GIVE UP.
Free SiIverites organizing for the
Cnmunign of 1900.

| meeting of slverites was held at
| knights of Labor hall last night to receive
the report of a committee appointed at a
| similar meeting held one week before on the
question of organizing a league of the sill
yer forces Of the state.
! The committee submitted its report rec
ommending the formation OF a club, to be
| known as the Central Silver League of
| Omaha, for the purpose of taking steps to
| call a meeting for the formation of a state
! organization. The committee also recon-
mended a platform containing all the old
familiar theories upon which the silverites
rung the changes during the late campaign.
The same committee also submitted an
other report, showing that it had corre-
spOnded with the free silver clubs at various
points in the state and had found them will
ing and anxious to form state organization
and begin TO campaign for 1900.
No action was taken on the latter report,
but the frs; was taken up for action. There
were number of populists in the room and
every one of them insisted on making a
speech. They managed TO keep near enough
to the subject under consideration to hold
the floor, but the crowd had to submit to
several hot" speeches on free silver the
initiative and referendum, and numerous
other populistic theories. After nearly an
hour of this kind of thing the report Of the
committee was adopted
The election of officers resulted as fol-
lows: G. w. Ambrose, president; George
Magney, vice president; C. E. Forbes. sec
retary; ]. ]. Saville, treasurer.
President Ambrose took advantage of the
opportunity offered by his election to make
g speech and he rehashed the same old
talk winding up with a reference to Bryan
as the leader of the silver party in the next
campaign.
A committee OF five, consisting of John
Jeffcoat. c. f. Williams Thomas Swift. II.
C. Miller and L. V. Morse, was appointed
to recommend an executive committee OF
five to a meeting to be held Saturday night
OF this week. Subsequently this same COM
mittee was instructed TO recommend ths
names of ten well known silverites to act
in conjunction with the executive committee
in calling state convention, to be held in
Lincoln during the first week in January,
President Ambrose remarking that this
would be a good time to hold the conven-
tion "as the advocates OF bimetallism will
all be in Lincoln during the opening Of the
legislative session to pick up the crumbs
that may fall from the tables"

TO DE GREATEST SHOW on EARTH.
Society Circus the Premier Event of
the ScnsOn.


It is with pardonable pride that the COM
mlttee in charge is enabled to announce
to the public that it has at last secured the
original and only society circus and hippo
drome for three days engagement at
Omaha December s. and 10. This great
aggregation was billed for Thanksgiving
day in Shanghai, China, to participate In
the festivities which should celebrate the
safe return of Ii Hung Chang and his yell
low Jacket. but through the smooth diplo-
macy of John W. Foster, who is well ac-
quainted with Ii, that august parsonage
kindly consented to allow them to fill their
annual engagement at Omaha,
II Is said he was moved to do this on ac-
count of Omaha having the only open-faced,
stemwinding depot on earth.
In accordance with the above facts we
can say without felr OF successful contro-
version that promptly at the appointed hour
the greatest charity circus, hippodrOme and
animal show ever exhibited on this continent
will dsembars opposite the magnificent
union cowshed at Tenth and Mason streets,
Omaha. and ascend the golden stairway to
the viaduct above. The great aggregation
will repair at once to the castle of the
Knights of Ak-Sar-Ben formerly known as
the Coliseum, from which, after a season
of rest, they will sally forth on the first
day of the show, December s, TO give one
of the most popular, dazzling and awe-in-
spring street parades Of the nineteenth CEN
tury. The usual afternoon performances will
be omitted in order to allow the wild ami
mails and wilder men to become accustomed
to their surroundings, which from being the
home OF the knights of the Desert for so
long time, might seem to their untutored
minds as a little peculiar If seen for the
first time by gaslight. This little devia-
tion from the usual custom OF shows in
general will be entirely forgotten In the
magnihcence OF the evening entertainment
which will follow.
The great show will consist OF a complete
circus with three rings, three ringmasters,
with ample track accommodations bare
back riders, trained animals lolpers tum-
blers, acrobats. slack wire and trapeZe per-
formers chariot races, clowns and every
thing of frst-cass circus.
The animal show is very complete en-
bracing a representative of every tribe OF
fish. flesh biped, quldruped or winged beast
on earth or in the waters under the earth
the wild man from the Pappio the tongueless
woman lecturer from Kansas City and the
armless club swinger from Kalamazoo.
There will be no lack of side shows of
the better order and especial pains have
been taken to have a variety OF music
throughout the entire performance animal
show and hippodrome. The whole perform
ance will be simply unapproachable and the
only original society circus ON the globe. 1t
exists only for charitable purposes and
thrives on the generosity OF large-hearted

Hitch In the Proposal to Discipline
Some OF the JnclSsOniEns.
The meeting of the JacksOnisn club which
was to have been held last night for the
purpose OF considering the cases OF some
forty members, whom it was proposed to
discipline. was declared off. This was not
because OF any desire to withdraw the
charges. but because 1t had been discovered
that, according to- the constitution, the
question could not be taken up at a special
meeting, but must come up at some regular
session of the club. Acting on this, the
secretary OF the club has sent to each of
the forty accused members a notice to
appear before the club at the regular meet
ing to be held December 10, and answer to
the charges preferred against them. These
charges are that the accused did in defiance
of the constitution and bylaws of the club
refuse to support at the last election the
candidates for president and vice presi-
dent who were regularly nominated by the
democratic party.
1t had been thought at first that the
members would pay no attention to the
citation to appear, but would allow the
free silver contingent to fire them out Of
the club, or not, just as 1t suited their own
sweet will. One thing is apparent and that
is that while the members accused are
not the majority by any means they have
been the ones who in the past have put up
the major part OF the money which has been
necessary to pay the bills OF the club and
prevent it's going into liquidation with
very little in the shape of asse;s
with which to liquldate. 1t is now
likely that there will be a very animated
contest when the matter comes up before
the club. There are some points in con-
rection with the matter which the men who
were going to fire the accused out with so
little ceremony have evidently overlooked,
and the recoil is very likely to prove more
disastrous than the frontal effects OF the

THE ANCIENT HORSE.
Recent Studies of the wild Herds
Found In Asia.


In the present relationship between the
man. and the horse undoubtedly there is
change due to the bicycle end SO we are
becoming less under obligations to animal
locomOtion. 1t is however, the old form OF
horse which Is again coming to the front,
says Harper's Weekly. Perhaps the general
reader, not a specialist, has become some-
what tired of reading of the original four
toed horse, as his fossil remiins are found
in Kansas, and how in time he gradually
changed until he became the singlo-hoofei
creature, canceling his earlier toe forma-
tion. II is the true wild horse, as he may
exist today which we have been looking for.
Tho first find of him, some years ago WAS
questioned, Anyhow, the creature was called
Equus prjevalskii, and. in a recent journey,
the Russian explorer, PrJevalsky, hunted in
vain for him in central Asia in the Desert
OF the Hashun Cobb.
Recently the two travellers G. l.. and NJ
Il. Grum Grzmailo, have come across wild
horses in the DZungarian desert, and they
succeeded in shooting two of them. As to
their height, they stood some 1.i6 meters,
were possessed of a stout back and chest
and with the neatest and trimmest OF legs,
as clean as those of a race horse. The
head was heavy, with an abnormal width
of forehead. The tail had it's peculiarites
being parti-colored, taking the hue of the
coat of the horse above. but black under
meath, and not long haired. The coat was
scant, somewhat curly, but that might have
depended on the season. One marked point
was the presence of side whiskers, long
stiff hairs. extending from the ears to the
chin. One thing these animals did was
to adhere to the custom OF our present
horses for they neighed whereas the wild
ass brays. The Grzimailos say that though
the Mongols occasionally capture foals, they
never have succeeded in demonstrating
them.
Primitive man has left us a fairly good
picture OF his horse hunt. 1t is a stalking
scene. One horse is down, and another il
being followed The type OF the heads OF
the horses closely resembles lhat of the
Equus prjevalskii. Looking over more re-
cent equine studies, a successful cross has
been made between a male zebra (Equus
burchellD and a wel-bred Scotch mare.
The offspring is a finely formed foal re-
sembing the mother, with the zebra stripes
OF the sire. In this experiment in hybrid
ism a great work is expected We are at
work with the broncho. and are tracing
back his genealogy or what he may become
in the future.
