Dreams Of Saloons;

Judge w. D. Oldham of Kearney
visited Omaha last week to attend a
state democratic conference, at
which Homer S. Cummings, ma

The judge enjoys more than any

dent w. w. Bradley of the Humane
society is ready to believe that
John Prelle, who appeared at the
Empress theater with a dog act last
week, really takes more than pro-

Prelle owned a poodle dog which
he had taken with his act all over
the world during a period OF II
years. This dog. whose name was
"Cempa," pushed a tiny buggy and
performed other stunts.
Cempa recently developed a
malady which became malignant.

When They Wooed and Won = By Edward Black =

or over to Council Bluffs On one
of the occasions the promotersSof
of the outing to Council Bluffs
wanted four more young men to
complete the male personnel. Mr..
Black was one of the young men
selected and then it was necessary
to enlist four more young women.
The pairing of these extra eight was
accomplished by placing their
names in a hat and then drawing
the name out. The young woman
who CHANGED to get Mr.. Blacks
name is now Mrs. Black. \
WELL" related Mr.. Black, latter
the party at Council Bluffs she
became smitten on me and she was
so set on marrying me that l didn't
want to disappoint her. l did not
have 10 propose to her. She pro-
posed and l accepted. l just hadn't
the hear to turn her down. Sounds
strange, but truth is stranger than
fiction"
Mr.. Black was married at Creston,
Ia, the home town of his wife. He
declared that about the time his
wife proposed to him there were
three other women who were set
ing their caps" for him.
He believes it is all right for
woman to propose and he considers
it silly custom, to believe that it is
mans particular perogative to pro-
pose marriage. He expects the
time will come when women will do
an of the proposing.

KIND of shirt that he might be wear
ing Later on and when the wear
ing of good shirts came into vogue,
the dickey became obsolete. Now,

The dickey worn by Mr.. Hall. al
though the home vintage, he asserts
is of correct gut and style. 1t is
made out of two thickness of fairly
good white cloth, shaped like the
bosom of one of the regulation white
shirts and when the coat and vest Of
the wearer is buttoned does not dis
close the fact/that it is real dickey.
According to Mr.. Hall any wife
can construct a dickey and with
present high prices of linen main
tanning, can be made at a local out
lay not to exceed 50 cents. Then it
gives sort of class appearance to
the male wearer. indicating that he
is able to sport real linen shirt.

Barely Escaped Lynching

1t Drove Inhabitants of Nearby Town Into Storm
or Tornado Cellars:

Abel Shotwell. county attorney
and w. c. Lambert, Omaha corpor-

Mr.. Shotwell reveals the information
that they made the trip from Omaha
to Newcastle in a trifle under two
weeks in their twin-six Ford, fliv-
yer. Henry, Lizzie, or Oscar.
As the distance from Omaha to
Newcastle is approximately zoo
miles, it is easy to see that they
avera ged about 50 miles day. And
presuming that they ran 10 hours
day, this would give an average
speed of five miles per hour, which
makes the OK teams of the early
pioneers look rather slow by COM
parison.
Mr.. Shotwell says they expert
enced considerable engine and tire
trouble. Sometimes the breakdown
would come when they were a score
of miles from the nearest human
habitation. And then the two law
yers would get out with their
monkey wrenches and muss around
with the engine for quite awhile.
They showed such ingenuity, Mr..
Shotwell says, that they will both
be able to get jobs as automobile
mechanics if they ever get tired OF
