Exhibition OF Fine Rugs.

The storeroom at 1919 Howard street in
the Tier Grand hotel building has been
transformed into a verltable art gallery.
1t is there that Mr.. H. p. Whitmore is nav
ing an exhibition Of a very interesting, beau
tiful and va1uable collection of oriental
rugs. This collection is from the personally
selected stock of Nahigian Bros. of Ia Wa
bash Ave. Chicago, collectors and import
ers Of exclusively choice rugs. Students of
art, especially of this, the most ancient
branch of art, should not miss the oppor-
tunity to inspect this collection of many
rare and antique pieces, worth going hun
dreds of miles to see.
Mr.. Hovsep Nahigian, one Of the best
known connoisseurs in the country, is an
expert not only by environment and ex-
Fperience, but also by education. He is in
charge of the display, and by special re-
quest he will lecture in the display rooms
on Tuesday afternoon at 3 o'clock. Mr..
Nahigian will Illustrate his talk with choice
specimens of Kashans, Kirmans, Sarriks
and in fact OF all the different classes OF
rugs. The weaving Of rugs on hand looms
will be described from the preparation of
the materials to the finishing of the rug.
All who are interested are invited.
Perhaps the most exquisite rug ever dis
played In Omaha is the large Imperial
Mosque Kashan, containing COO hand-tied
knots to the square inch. TIL rug is about
ten feet wide and thirteen and a half feet
long, and tying on IN average three knots
in a minute II would take one person no less
than twenty years to weave 1t. Had Il
been made in America instead OF Persia,
where the living expenses are much lower
than here, the rug could not be bought for
less than $4,000.

Ringo Declares
1t is Difficult

Sarphy County's Prosecuting Attor-

Sale of Liquor at Fort Crook.
cFrom a staff correspondent.l

N+NN
LINCOLN, Neb, Jan. A.-(Special. -
Ernest r. Ringo, county attorney OF sarpy
county, in a letter to Colonel Furst secre-
tary to the governor. strikes back at the
i%nsinuation that he is winking at viola
lions OF the liquor laws at Fort Crook.
Colonel Gardiner had written the governor
that the law was being violated and he sent
with his letter, the testimony taken at a
court martial, which showed that the sold
iers were buying liquor from a man named,
Lowry. This communication was sent on
to the county attorney and today Colonel
Furse received from his. this letter:
The party complained Of has operated In
Fort Crook for about fifteen years, most
OF the time without license. and seven
cupied the office I now hold, but until l
became county attorney he boosted OF the
1act that he had never been convicted. /
personally financed three separate expedi-
lions lately to his place of business for the
purpose or securing evidence against him.
but they failed. Since his last conviction
he has exercised greater care in the selec-
stion Of his customers, with the result that
about all the evidence l could get IT his
illegal transactions was from unsigned COM
municatiOns and from parties who were
unwilling to have their names used.
His business has been largely with the
soldiers and there seems to exist a sort Of
code of honor" among them. which caused
them to refuse to divulge any information
unless commanded to do so by an officer.
At various times 1 have endeavored to set
the soldiers to give me the Information and
once l requested an officer to do so, but
he refused, although he did not deny his
ability to do so. This complaint is the
first one that has emanated from any one
connected with the fort. In fact this man,
Lowry, has enjoyed a sort Of protection,
apparently, from the officers and soldiers
Twice l caused his place to be searched
and once at his request a body of men was
dispatched from the for- to assist him in
resisting the officer make the search. They
took no part in the matter, however, after
their arrival. / assure you / am ready,
