DANES TO HONOR THE KING
Members Of Brotherhood for Two Hundred
Nile Radius viii Attend Ak-sar-Ben.
BIG TIME PLANNED Al WASHINGTON HAIL
Prospects Are Promising for Success
full Result of Undertsking of
Lodges and the Danish
Newspaper.

Efforts OF the Danish Brotherhood to
bring the Danes of Nebraska and Iowa
within a radius OF 800 miles into Omaha
for the Ak-sar-Ben have met with crafty
ing success from present indications. Pro-
grams, which will be used as tickets OF ad-
mission to an entertainment in Washing
ton hall for the visitors on the night Of
October 4, were rent out In large numbers
to the sixty Danish lodges inside the dis
lance. Requests have been received from
nearly everyone for more programs and
an additional supply had to be printed.
Though the work is specially directed
through the lodges and societies, all Danes
are included in the invitation. The Danske
Folktidende has offered a prize OF a silver
service to the lodge registering the most
visitors.
washington hall will be the headquarters
for the Danes. The entertainment will be
opened with speech of welcome by City
Electrician waldemar Michaelsen. The
DANA Singing society will render songs
and Carl Nordin will perform sleight-of-
hand tricks. ]. Mlchaelsen, supreme sec
rotary Of the brotherhood. will review the
history and work of the order. John
Enkeboll will -ecite one OF Ibsen's poems.
A one-act comedy called The Worlds
Hercules will be given by a company OF
local actors and the closing numbers will
be three tableaux of Danish folklore, the
national spirit and OF the brotherhood.
The brotherhood has a float In the cleo.

LACK OF LABOR holds UP Gas
Scarcity of Men as Compared to Enormous
Demand Hampers Company.
MANY NEW HOUSES UNplPED FOR WINTER
Inevitable Result of Tremendous
Growth in City which il Re-
Hected in Vast Amount
of Improvement.

1t is possible and even probable that fami-
lies who have taken possession of houses
built this summer and fall will he com
PEELED to do without gas this winter. Off
GERS OF the Omaha Gas company doubt
very much II all the work which is to be
done can be accomplished before freezing
weather sets in.
Scarcity of common labor is the difficulty.
Not more than half the number OF men
needed for digging can be secured. Work
is so plentiful everywhere and in every
manner of industry that labor is at pre-
MUM and the gas company, like other peo-
pie, has to do its work with an inadequate
force The wage for day labor is $l.75.
If large number of men cannot be en-
ployed through October 1t means that some
of the citizens will not get gas until spring
In some cases the delay in laying pipes
from the mains to new houses will make II
necessary for the company to tear UP the
pavement. whereas, II labor were plentiful
the pipes might be laid this fall before the
pavement is laid. On West Harvey street
the gas company has a lot of work to do
and it has been expected all summer that
the street would be paved this fall. How
ever, the city's paving operations have been
greatly hampered and 1t is possible that the
Harvey street pavement will not become a
tangible thing until spring. In that event
the gas company will have chance to
carry out its plans.
Other public utility concerns have had
the same difficulty in securing common
labor, notably the water company and the
telephone company. The water company
| has been behind with it's work all summer
| but plans for new operations this fall are
not extensive and the situation is not EN-.
barrassing.

HUNT REPLIES TO GoNDEN
Insists that the Latter Speaks as Paid
Agent of the Nebraska TeIe-
phone Company.

A. B. Hunt had this to say touching a
recent signed article in The Bee anent the
controversy over the proposed establish
ment OF a second telephone system in
Omaha:
"In answer to Mr.. II. J. Gondens denial
that he was in the employ of the Nebraska
Telephone company year ago, 1 wish to
reiterate what l said before, that he was
employed in the interest of that company.
las to the instructions Mr.. Gonden may
have received l am not prepared to contra
dict his statement. 1t may be pointed out,
however, that his version of these lnstruc-
lions looks a bit 'fishy to say the least.
Mr.. Gonden has gumption enough 10 know
that he was being paid in behalf OF the
Nebraska Telephone company from money
put up in advance. He also undoubtedly
knew that his work was designed to de-
feat my proposition, then under way, as
well as to discourage the entry of competi-
ton into other places.
Surely Mr.. Gonden is trying to crawl
out of a very small hole when he pretends
that he did not know in whose interests
and for what purpose he was working
Just as he is now plugging with all the
cleverness at his command for the Ne
braska Telephone company. so was he then
doing It's work. And the pretense that he
is here now to visit his parents will deceive
no one. The ordinary citizen will regard Il
as quite singular that he should arrive Just
as the independent telephone franchise IL
again to the front, and should at once settle
down as the amanuensis and defender OF
the local monopoly. The citizens of Omaha
are not to be so easily fooled. They car
read between the lines what he is here fol-
and by whom paid. He is just one of many
other pluggers and curbstone orators work
ing against competition and being paid FOL
their work by the Nebraska Telephone
company.
There is the other deplorable feature q
this campaign for the monopoly end tina
should be emphasized to the lasting dis
grace OF the people who conceived It. Thu

I'VE LEGS AND HIGH SPIRITS
Freak Horse VIII BE One of Big
Features.

Freak Horse VIII BE One of Big
Features.
Featured on the Official program of the
Ak-Sar-Ben festival, the hve-legged horse
owned by George Townley of Omaha APP
parently has become deeply impressed
with his own Importance. He is already
wearing the blue ribbon Of popularity, 80
to speak. Because OF his peculiar con-
struction the animal is highly nervous at
times. He has been undergoing a course
OF treatment at a local livery barn to
break him of his high-strung antics. One
method adopted to make him unafraid Of
people approaching from behind has been
to hang a bag of sand from the ceiling at
the opening to his stall and allow him to
biff it with his hind feet until he grew
disguised. He finally realized that he was
kicking to no advantage and now the bag
Of sand can be swung against him without
making him do more harm than turn his
head to see who is doing II.
But Lovely Legg, as the animal is called
by his owner and groom, has other
troubles. His extra pedal appendage some
times gets in his way, especially when he
goes to drink from large trough and
tries to do an acrobatic stunt on the edge
thereof; for II must be understood that
the hve-legged equine is still half un-
broken. At such times he is prone to
swing the fifth leg around in way to
make people stand of and duck.
Monday afternoon Lovely Legs in some
manner got himself tangled UP in the front
length of a long lariat by which he is
fastened. Afraid. apparently. that II he let
his front feet down he would lose his
principal claim to distinction. the animal
sat straight up on his hind quarters and
threatened to fall over backwards. After
much coaxing and no result, II was de-
cided to rig a windlass arrangement to
| bring the three front feet down to the
floor again. This was accomplished after
Lovely Legg had exhausted every trick
known to a stubborn horse. He persisted
| In rearing so much, however, that 1t was
thought the extra leg had been hurt. An
| examination by a veterinarian proved this
| not to be the case, and on his advice the
| stout boards were rugged just over the
| animals shoulders. Now Lovely Legg is
| quite contented again. and looks for all
the world like a prize package which is
guarded from vandal hands by ratings and
1 things.
Just cussed uppishness," says the boy

BIG CALL FOR STALL ROOM
Demands Coming in Fast for Places at
the Horse Show
EVERYBODY COOPERATING FOR AFFAIR
Arctic white and California Red Are
Displayed on Every Hand and
Railroads Are Help
ing Boost.

An indication that the date for the
Omaha Horse Show is approaching was
the request received Tuesday from an
owner IN the state for stall room inn
mediately for his two horses He desired
to have the advantages OF training in the
arena. other entries are rolling in at
such a clip that there is no longer any
doubt as to the quantity and quality of
the horses which will be shown at Omahas
great Rutumnal exhibition. Mr.. wier OF
Lemars, Ia, has made eighteen entries In
the heavy harness and roadster classes.
The railroads have taken hold of the
Horse Show with a vim, Special posters
in the Horse Show colors have been pre-
pared and they are being sent to all sta
lions within the radius of cheap rates for
the show. Mr.. Halter is also sending out
some new posters which have just ar
rived in connection with three sheets, and
the surrounding country cannot say that
II has not been informed as TO the date
for the Horse Show.
Posters are also being distributed to
the merchants, and all are preparing to
decorate the windows for the show as
soon as the Ak-Sar-Ben colors can be
stripped of. The gilded horseshoes went
like hot cakes and the entire ONCE force
in the Bee building was busy handing out
these emblems, which were desired by
women and men for trophy rooms and
dens.
Matinees Special Feature.
A feature which will be of special interest
to many women and children will be the
two matinees which will be held during the
week, one on Wednesday and the other
Saturday. Events Of a more lively char
acter will be scheduled for these days and
the children will be given a gala time.
The hunters will jump the same as in the
evening and the local classes for children
will also show on these afternoons. AT
the matinee which was held last year the
children from the orphanage were ad-
| mtted free OF charge.
THE display of the Horse Show colors
| arctic white and California red, is one OF
the best ways to advertise the horse show,
| said one of the directors Tuesday 1--WE
are working to have the colors displayed
in so many ways that people will have tc

day and in every place, they are bound tC
ask what 1t is all about. Every place thai
| one goes one sees small bows of red and
white. Everybody is wearing one of the
little bows and in the stores, on the street
| cars and in the shop windows these colori
attract the eye. The success Of the show
| from the standpoint of entries is assured
and It is now but question of getting the
general public interested. The seats viii

The original 5000 buttons are gone and
