CHANGE IN Y. N. G, A. PLANS
Building Will Be Two Instead Of
Three Stories in Heighth.
DROPS THE DoRMIToRY FEATURE
Inability TO secure sumcient Funds
for the Larger structure Given
ms the Reason for the
Change I'm Plans.

Lack Of sufficient funds has prevented
the executive committee from carrying out
the original plans as to the Young Mems
Christian association building at the corner
Of First avenue. and Seventh street. The
dormitory feature, which was planned to
be a revenue producer, will have to be
eliminated, as the building will be but two
stories and basement in place of three
stories as contemplated by Architect Cox's
original plans.
The committee has not succeeded in Sc
curing sufficient money for the larger
building and has decided TO be content for
the present with a two-story and basement
structure. Mr.. Cox has revised his plans
to meet the change and they are now ready
for inspection by prospective bidders.
The cutting down OF one story will not
affect the interior arrangement OF the
building except to do away with the dor
mitories, which would have been located
on the third floor.
The plans as revised still provide for a
large and commodious building to be con-
structed Of pressed brick with stone trim
mings. The main entrance will be on First
avenue. In the basement will be located
the hall for the use of Abe Lincoln post,
Grand Army OF the Republic. and the Wo-
mans Relief corps, a business mems loun-
ging room, locker rooms, shower baths and
the swimming tank, which will be fifteen
by forty feet. built OF cement and lined
with tile. Entrance TO the basement will
be by a doorway underneath the stairways
leading to the main entrance.
on the main floor will be the gymnasium,
lobby, reading rooms, secretary's office and
an apartment for the physical director,
The gymnasium will reach through the sec
ond floor to the roof, with a running track
on a balcony, which is to be utilized as a
gallery when any public athletic events
are taking place in the gymnasium.
on the second floor will be a department
for younger boys and a series of class
rooms with rolling doors. so that they can
be thrown into one large hall II necessary.
There will also be a kitchen on this floor.
The original plans made by Mr.. Cox pro-
vided for three stories and basement front
ing on First avenue and two stories and
basement fronting on Seventh street. The
estimated cost Of the building, according tc
the original plans, was $4,000. AS the plans
are now revised and the third story on
First avenue cut off, the committee fig
ures that the building can be erected for
about 5000.

Love may laugh at locks. bolts and bars,
but when It Games to the long distance
telephone. It is up against the real thing.
1t was the long distance telephone, which
yesterday morning prevented Arthur
Feldt and Ida Lentz a young couple who
had eloped from Lincoln, Neb., from
securing a marriage license and having
the wedding performed in this
city.
The young couple had reached the court
house and were in the act of securing a
marriage license from Tracy Rodwell. a
deputy in the office of the clerk of the
district court, when the arm of the law
in the person of Patrollman Ceilings inter
vened. The officer informed the young
couple that he had been detailed to escort
them to police headquarters.
The police acted on received
from Lincoln over the telephone that the
young man and the young woman were
a runaway couple and the request was
made that they be held. A few questions
and the police were satisfied that there
was no ground for holding them and they
we're released. Fastening back to the
court house the young couple once more
sought the clerks office for a marriage
license. BY this time. however, Deputy
Rodwell had become suspicious that the
young woman had not given her age cor
rectly and refused to issue the license
on the ground that the couple had no
witness.
After Feldt and the young woman had
been taken to police headquarters and re-
leased. Desk Sergeant O'Neil telephoned to
the Lincoln police, inquiring II the couple
were wanted there. Soon after, a woman
who said she was the landlady of a board
ing house where Feldt had been staying
telephoned and demanded that the Council
Bluffs police hold the young man. She
stated she was interested" in him and
when asked by Sergeant O'Neil in what
way, she finally admitted that Feldt owed
her 81 for board. The woman was in
formed that the Council Bluffs police de-
partment was not in the collection busi-
ness and with this Sergeant O'Neil cut
the conversation off.
When on the second trip to the court
house, they were refused a license, Feldt
said, We'll guess we will have to take
the car to Omaha and get one there
While the young man appeared to take the
turn down 'philosphically, IL was evident
that Miss Lentz was greatly disappointed
at the turn affairs had taken and It was
apparent that she could restrain her tears

from the moment of his dramatic en-
trance upon the scene until the climax
of the last of the many strong, stirring
situations.
Though Wesley's high, pure life and
marvellous powers of eloquence are
shown forth as if the great preachers
own voice and magnetism were brought
hack to earth through the written
pages, yet it is in no sense mere
goody goody tale that Frankfort
Moore has told. 1t is IL story teeming
with action. human interest, love, hate,
jealousy adventure and suspense.
..rhe Love That Prevailed" has for its
stage setting the Cornish coast in the
eighteenth century Its characters are
not the usual lords and ladies and
"gentlefolk" of the typical English
novel, but the lowly denizens of the
seaside villages. Out of this material
Mr.. Moore has wrought a tale of sur
passing thrill and charm and one
abounding in unique and compellingly
powerful scenes.
The heroine is as fresh and altogether
attractive as the sea breezes of her
native cliffs. She is d winsome lass,
the sort one unconsciously falls in love
with before half finishing the recital of
her doings. The hero Is Wesley him
self. But even he is overshadowed in
interest by a third character. a poor.

nature is apparently little neglectful
sometimes and has to be recalled to a
sense of duty by the hair dresser's
tongs.
The bits Of observation by Frau
kremer mixed with plain description
show much of the character of the
wayward Louise, who. if one is to be-
lieve all that has been told of her. is
more immoral than immoral.
Frau Kremer says: One very quick
ly notices how accomplished she is; she
writes poetry ard con-poses. She. has
already written about co songs; she is
particularly fond of the poems of Heinz
Evers and has set TO music some of the
most lyrical ones, = Some
time ago she studied modelling with a
lady sculptor. and after few lessons
was easily able to copy from the an
tique; but the lessons have now been
given up"
FRAU Kremer goes on to say that it
is lack of concentration which detains
rer from being positive genius. She
has almost talent for every branch
of art but is too nervously excited all
the time to allow it to develop. She
reads nothing but a few daily news
papers and only glances at those.
She must confess that the interest is
more in the mother than in the child
in this case. The little 4 year old
own position and Importance and use
her knowledge to great advantage
Frau Kremer tells us her faults ano
her actual defects-she has no idea of
colors whatever, she dislikes dogs and
would kick every one she sees; she is
selfish to a degree, and one is not sur
prised to find her neuretic and egoistic
But after all that one is surprised to
read that Frau Kremer succeeded in
making the little Monica love her and
that She in turn found the child
lovable. She cannot but suspect just
there that Frau Kremer is looking out
for herself in the future, for the little
princess may or may not be of great
Importance some day. The one criti-
cism one cannot but make of the book
is that there is such a mass of detail
which bares that it is difficult to skip
and read just the interesting parts.
But many side lights on the character
of this curious woman may be discov-
cred in this journal.

"OId Indian Days.

BY C. A. Eastman Published by the Mcclure
company. New York.
The author of "Old Indian Days" is
qualified by both birth and training to
speak authoritatively of the subject
treated in this volume, which is one of
several he has written on American
aborigines Eastman is three-quarters
Sioux, his father being a full blood and
his mother a half breed. He is married
to a white woman and lives at Am
herst, Mass. His wife, too, has written
much on the subject of Indians. East
man is a graduate of the Boston med
ical university, the Boston universal
school of medicine and Dartmouth col
lege. He was physician for several
government Indian agencies and has
spent a great part of his life among the
red men.
The volume at hand deals with the
Indians in their aboriginal state and is
a mixture of narrative and description.
Into stories in which love and fighting
predominate he has woven an account
of Indian customs, while, on the other
hand, chapters on customs carry with
them stories of love and fighting. All
of 1t is written in style which, while
not notable for style or yigor, is easy
and pleasant, showing both intelligence
and knowledge. To be sure, the In
dian is somewhat idealized by the.
author, none of the unpleasant features
of his existence being touched upon.
That the women should do all the work
is accepted as matter of scourse-a
custom requiring no comment. The
book is divided into two sections, The
Warrior and The Woman" Each of
these divisions contains a half dozen
tales or articles. The book will be
found interesting to all who care to
know anything about the American In
dian, while 1t is positively fascinating
to the average boy in his early teens.
1t is beautifully Illustrated in colors by
Dan Sayre Groesbeck.
