The opening OF the Young Women's
Christian association building Thursday
afternoon brought the realization OF the
long cherished dream OF several thousand
business women and others who have had
occasion to feel Cmaha's real need of such
an institution for women. Against what
odds this realization has come about only
a few will ever know, but the fruit OF the
untiring, unselfish work of this compare
tive handful will be enjoyed by thousands
and will enable Omaha to take itst place
among the first cities of the United states
in equipment for helping women to help
themselves.
From a most modest beginning sixteen
years ago the association has attained a
membership of over 1000. an accomplish
ment surprising TO all who know OF the
cramped quarters that have proven a hand
leap at every turn.
The fact that such a work could have
been built up and maintained under such
adverse conditions is the most eloquent
proof of its need, yet the most amazing
| prejudice and Misrepresentation had to be
overcome among business men, church men
and men generally before the public inte:-
est and the financial support necessary
could be secured to warrant undertaking a
| campaign for funds sufficient to put up a
building adequate to the actual necessities.
II is but fair to say what the membership
unanimously and enthusias tically conceded,
that the brunt OF the burden Of acquiring
the building has fallen on Mrs. George TIL
den. vice president of the association and
Mrs. Emma F.. Byers, it's general secretary.
To Mrs. Byers the association Is Indebted
for the inspiration that encouraged the
board and the membership to launch the
first movement toward the building and
during the five or six years that nave
passed since the project was sprung she
has been it's handspring. 1t Is not generally
| known that during this time Mrs Byers
has been offered some OF the highest posi-
tons in the country in association work,
including some OF the most flattering Of
fers within the power OF the national or
ganizatlon. All OF these she has declined
however, and cheerfully, with the expla-
nation that as she had urged the Omaha
association to assume the task OF securing
a building, she owed It to the membership

NJ. Bloom. alias NJ. o. Britain. was ar
raigned before Judge w. II. Munger Fri
day. entered a plea OF guilty to obtaining
goods by false pretenses and was SEN
fenced to six months in the Douglas county
jail and to pay a fine OF so.
Bloom was arrested IN Duluth In January
last as a fugitive from Justice for using
the United States mails for purposes to
defraud.
ard others for cons!gnments OF goods, allag-
ing that he was about to go into business,
and wanted to open an account with whole
salers and jobbers. He managed to Sc
cure a consignment OF goods from one or
two Omaha firms Of small value. alleging
that he was in business at Columbus, Neb.,
as q branch OF a Seattle firm of the name
OF Bloom, that stood high in commercial
ratings.
He lie charged with having Immediately
disposed OF the goods and then disap-
peared without paying for them. Postof-
flee Inspector Frsyser of Omaha was put
onto the job, and finally located Bloom
In Duluth, where he was arrested and
later brought to Omaha. He Indignantly
protested against his arrest. but was un-
able to procure bail and he has been linger-
ing in the Douglas county jail since.
Bloom made a great bluff at one time
when the news was first published Of his
fine work. He pretended to be outraged
and threatened several different sorts Of
libel suits.

What we found in Little Rock Is favor

missioner Bedford Friday morning, and
Commissioner Trainor and Bruning agreed
with Bedford.
The commissioners reported yesterday
afternoon to the board a statement to this
effect and the outlook becomes increasingly
favorable that the Columbus Qnd.) firm
will get the contract for the new court
house.
The commissioners and County Attorney
English arrived home late Thursday night,
coming by way of Memphis and Kansas
City. They left here Sunday night, ar
rived in the Arkansas capital the next
evening and stayed until Wednesday after
noon.

said Trainor, "and each of us talked to
business men. bankers. wholesalers and re-
tailers about Caldwell G. Drake and their
work on the new capitol. OF course, W.
looked at that building. There would have
been no trouble. so far as we can learn,
II the last legislature had made the appro-
p~riation necessary to carry on the work.
This halted construction and with a part
OF the building unroofed the rains beat in
and did some damage"
1t is the opinion of all three commission
ers that Caldwell & Drake have done their
work satisfactorily so far as actual con.
struction is concerned and that the delay Is
not their fault.
County Attorney English declined to talk
about the trip and referred que%stioners to
the commissioners.
The board met for a short time Friday
morning, transacted routine business and
adjourned until the afternoon.

POmpadOur for the
Round.

The fiat effect on the top Of the head,
much in vogue at present, should not be
adopted by the girl or woman of round,
full-faced type. She should be faithful TO
the pompadour raised well above the fore
head. and the hair puffed slightly at the
sides, no matter what fashion demands.
A woman with a fun, fat face will only
emphasize its breadth by f1attening the
hair at the top and broadening the arrange
ment at the sides of the face. In fact. the
result will be a squat look that will be
far from pleasing.
