Lecture Recital

A very instructive entertain
ment was given at the lecture
recital in the K. of c. hall last
night by Miss DeLone of Oma-
ha. 1t was q rare musical treat
and one fully enjoyed by those
present.
Mrs. R. G. Hills introduced
the artist with a few we'll chos-
en- words. Miss DeLone then
gave q brief sketch of the harp
as to it's mechanism, value as a
musical instrument, rank in or
chestration, origin and the
things necessary tolearn to use
one as an instrument. In most
instruments the pedal is used
to increase the tone, while with
q harp it is not so. There are
seven pedals on a harp repre-
senting the scale and all sharps
flats and accidentals must be
played with the feet.
Then came the concert which
vas one of the best ever heard
in our city. Miss DeLone is
master of her instrument and
it responds to her siightes'
touch. Missouri Valley people
were especially delighted TO
hear Miss Deur, who played tive
harp duets with Miss DeLone
These were very good and
showed that we were fortunate
to have in our midst a young
lady of marked ability. The
closing number a Concerto, Civ
en- as q harp solo with piano ac-
compartment, was very good
indeed. Here again Miss Deur
assisted at the piano and proved
herself to be a very good ac-
companist and one, who has de-
voted much time and study tc
music.

PURCHASE STEAMERS
Great Vessels Of Hamburg
American Line May Be Bought
By Capitalists.

New York, Aug. 17.-The Hamburg.
American line issued a statement this
afternoon saying hat it a under con-
sideration offers to purchase some OF
it's steamships in American waters,
valued at $50, 600, 900. h fleet m
braces the great steamer Vaterland,
largest in the world. If sold the vessels
| would fly the American flag and would
be the first big acquisition to the pro-
posed American merchant marine.
The statement of the company reads
as follows:
I'm response to the many inquiries
as to whether m of the Hamburg
American line ships are for sale, we
have to say that it has always been the
policy of this company to dispose OF
steamers whenever a good opportunity
offers, provided they can be spared.
CAS- the war has forced all our
fleet into temporary idleness and as we
now have in American waters steamers
worth more than S20.000,0 900. bona hde
offers for the purchase for some of
them are being considered.
Others of our steamers, Of course,
would not be sold at any price"
The statement is issued I'VE the sig
nature of VIM. G.. Sickel, vice director
Of the company.
Thirteen vessels OF the Hamburg
American line have been tied up to
their docks in Hoboken practically
since the beginning of hostilities be-
tween Germany and England. In addi-
ton to the Vaterland. the big fleet thus
forced into idleness includes the Pres
ident Grant of $4,000 tons; the President
Lincoln and the Hamburg of 10000 tons
each and the Pennsylvania of 1900
tons. No announcement was received
as to whether the offers under consider
alton included any or all of these ships.
Some other vessels Of the line now at
New York are the Koenig William III
9.41O tons: the Armenia 5.464 tons; the
Prinz Eitel Frederick 8,797 tons; the

1T would appear impossible, from

TO TAKE A SUMMER COLD.
Life Offers a Recipe Guaranteed Not
To Eaii

1t is not always the easiest thing to
catch a summer cold. 1t often takes
time and thought n proper exertion.
You must be patient. Above all, never
give up hope. Just when o think
you are not going to get one, It will
come along and seize you.
There are many recipes for catching
a summer cold, which are doubtless fa-
miliar to the highly intelligent reader.
We shall not give them. In their
place we shall simply present few
general directions.
The first requisite is to get thorough
ly exhausted. To do this 1t is better to
select some unusual thing. When you
have INDUCED yourself in this until
you are tired out, then eat as much as
you can of TRANCE food to which your
stomach has heretofore been a
stranger. This ought to bring on a
summer cold within a reasonable time.
II 1t doesn't it will be because you
don't know enough to have one.

LlEBkNEcHT WAS THORN
IN SIHE@ nE RnvAl rN

Berlin, Aug. 16.-Dr. Carl Liebk-
necht. whose execution by soldiers Of
the Kaiser, is said to be the cause Of
the socialist uprising, was for years
leader of the socialist party in Ger
many. He raj born in 1871 and since
his entry to politics has been a com
handing figure in the public affairs Of
the great power.
He has always been an uncompro-
missing anti-militarist and in 1907 was
sentenced to 1S months Imprisonment
for high treason, the charge growing
out of his writings against the Kais-
er's program.
1t was Lieebknecht who last year
in the %reichstag charged that the
Krupp company, manufacturers of
arms and ornaments, through an
agent bribed army officers in order
to obtain an insight into official mill
tary orders. 1t WIS also charged that
the Krupps caused articles to be
printed in Fance~ advocating an insur-
rection In the French army in order to
bring about a warlike spirit in Ger
many. ALI the officers accused by
Liebknecht were convicted by court
martial and given light sentences.
Last June he created another sem
sation by charging that traficking in
titles on q commission basis was car
ried on in Prussia.
When the reservist army of Ger
many was called out several weeks
Liebknecht, who is an officer, did
not answer the order. He was repri-
manded but remained obdurate. Act
ing under orders of the imperial army
a squad Of soldiers called at his house
! n Berlin this week and carried him
away a prisoner. Repeated rumors
that he had been shot leaked out, and
on Friday they were verified by the
report of a courtmartial procedure.
