PRICED MAGAZINE
GIVEN TO LIBRARY
Charles S. Elgutter Makes Gift Of
Only Copy of Illustrated World
Now in Existence.
PUBLISHED HERE IN 1891

A recent and highly priced acqui-
sition Of the Omaha public library
is a copy Of the illustrated World,
No. /, Vol. incidentally, the only
number ever published-a journal
devoted to art, music and literature.
that made its appearance in Omaha
In May, 1891.
This copy, probably the only one
in existence. was presented to the
library by Charles s. Elgutter.
To the older Omahans and those who
were interested Ia the art circles OF the
city quarter OF a century ago the story
OF the publication of the enc and only
number of the illustrated World is more
or less familiar.
DR.. John Flood came to Omaha to es-
tablish n school for music and fine arts,
and also for the purpose of editing a
magazine to be devoted to art and music,
a publication which was to be national in
scope.
Artist Brought TO Omaha.
He received the encouragement of @.
W. Lininger. through whose Endorsement
a school was opened in the Bee building.
J. Laurie Wallace was brought to Omaha
and made art director of the new school.
II was DR.. Floods purpose to make the
illustrated World the official organ of
the woman's section of the Columbian
exposition at Chicago. The Illustrated
World. of which only the one number
was published, was the result OF his ef
forts to establish such a journal.
On the advice of Mr.. Lininger Dr. Flood
secured Mr.. Elgutter to edit the first
number. The first number met with con-
siderable success, which was due in some
measure to the fact that 1t had as
frontispiece cut of the famous painting,
The Return Of Spring. which at the
time was receiving much attention in art
circles everywhere by reason of its mutt
'Iatlon while on exhibition in Omaha. ,
The Ill health of DR.. Flood and the loss
Of financial expectations in establishing
these institutions resulted in the cessa-
ton of the Illustrated World with the
first number and the discrimination of
the School OF Fine Arts.

Still the real estate man was unmoved.

cleaned his employers desk and a
short time later he tried to sell to an
other employee the same number of
stamps that had been missed from the
desk. The judge considered the evil
deuce of the men who worked at the

sheep owner should never allow scab

easily eradicated by proper dipping.
The only rational treatment for COM

and various other preparations to
sheep will not destroy the parasites
and consequently will not effect a
