The summer yacation club for boys and [ had & menibership of seventy. Al- most aii of the members read the required | number of books. The stofy hour held once each week has had a, large attend- ance. The Norse storles were told the first part of the ygar and later the stories of Charlenfagne asd Ms Paladine. A col- lection of books for the young people just leaving the ehildrail's. room, has been gath- ered togetiier for ithe yse of the boys and girls who &r¢ not yet ready to Independ- ently select’their books from the adult department, Books were issued to the public schools, the parochfal kchools, the school for the deaf and many private schools, The cir- culation is entirely without membership cards, the' books betng lssued according to a special plan adopted by each school. The high school students have represented the largest percentage of reference room visitors. Outside of the required reading, they have had assistance in the making of class programs, the selection of plays and dlalogues and the preparation of the work for the debates. High school students from Benson, . South Omaha and Bellevue huve also used the library in connection with their debates. The largest bibliography of the year was the one preparsd on the sub- ject of Frerich art for the Omaha Soclety of Fine Arts.

The reading room has added during 1909 & number of newspapers in forelgn lan- guages, also perioflicals In foreign lan- guages which iwere clrculated after one month. This room contains, in an alcove, the collection of medical baoks largely pro- vided by the members of the Douglas County Medical association. An unusually fine collection of medical periodicals was recelved through the courtesy of the med- fcal profession The library has received for the museum of Shakesperiana, formerly owned by the Hon. James W. Savage, and now the property of Mrs. William Morris, who has also deposited in the library the Indfan collection. These collections are not yet on exhibition, but will be as soon as proper arrangements can be made. The librarian recommends that no new doparture In the purchase of books be con- sidered, but Instead that each department be strengthened and kept up to the highest standard The librarfan further recommends that all possible efforts be put forth toward the establishment of distributing stations out- €lde of the library. This will mean a large duplication of the popular books. The eentral library Is now serving as many people as it can reasonably be expected to segye.

A mortgage for $175,000,00 was ftiled by the Missouri Pacific Rallway company in the office of the register of deeds Saturday evening. Similar instruments have been filed in eyery county through which the 1ced operates. The mortgage is given to the Guarantee Trust company of New York and is to Sccure the payment of the “first and re- funding mortgage fifty-year gold bonds" issved for $175,000,000, The document Is a bound book printed in the style of a lawyer's briet and contains over 1% pages. The recording fee for this big instrument was $62.65. The Omaha Belt Rallway company has been transferred to the Missourl Pacific Rallway company in a deed recorded in the office of he register of deeds last night. The considerntion In this transaction is “$100 and other valuable consideration.” The transfer of the belt line is merely a formality of law, as the road has been operated and owned by the Missouri Pa- cific as a subsidiary line for many years. ) LIFE OF DR.

When the doctor was 2 vears old his parents moved to Whitingham, Vt., and later to Readsboro, where the doctor at- tended the public schools and _was gradu- ated from Powers institute, Bernardston. He taught school in and about Readsboro for a short time and entered Dr. R. W.

He practised in South Vernon, Vt. for one year and then went to Readsboro, Vi, where he remalned until 189, when he came to Florerce.

George Campbell of Wymore of the board of commissioners of Gage county does not give credence to the report that the snow has had the effect of rotting the winter wheat to any perceptible ex- tent, “On the contrary,” sald Mr. Campbell, “in my thirty or more years residence in Nebraska I have never seen the winter wheat in finer condition than it is now. The snow blanketed the ground before it had a chance to freeze and the wheat has been given a substantial start, “The wheat flelds in Douglas, Sarpy, Lincoln, Saline and Gage counties, where the snow nad gradually thawed away, have a bright, healthy and vigorous ap- pearance. The growth is not rank, but during winter months. The g::u M Hotel is here. t gy AT it 1s remarkably even, and I am looking for one of the best crops of wheat we | eoncerned. | United States, however partisan on its edl- have ever had in seuthern Nebraska.

Children lke it Some Things You Want to Know The English Elections—How the Newspapers Fight. The English newspapers in a political campalgn go quite as wild as the public speakers or thelr friends, the hecklers. The independent journal fs all but unknown every newspaper Is a party orman, and every one goes its full length in praise of Its candidates and In derogation of those of the other party. The liberal newspapors refer to their conservative contemporaries as the vellow press, always with capital letters. The tories retort by calling the radieal papers ‘“soclalistic rage’ But nefther ever admite defects in fts own party or sees virtue In the opposition. It may be sald that many American news- pepers ara quite the same during politieal campaigns, and it is true In many Ine stances, ko far as the editorial columns are But no dally newspaper In the torial page, would dare to use its news columns as do the British papers, The British press for so many years has congratulated Itself upon its superiority above Amerloan journallsm that even Americans are irclined to credit the Fng- lish boasts. It fs truc that blg headlines are not used in the English papers, and therefore the outward and visible signs so often aesoclated with yellow journalism are not in evidence in England. RBut it is possible to be “yellow” in small type, and even under small headlines which give no hint whatever of the nature or character of the article which follows. The methods of the Rritish press fn campaign time leave no doubt on that score, In the first place, nearly every English newspaper occuples the relation of “organ” to one of the two prineipal parties, and nearly every one Is further ldentified with some particular clique or following. The party organs are slavishly devoted to par- tisan Interests as American newspapers were forty years ago. During this parliamentary campalgn one cf the London evening papers published an article on the sensational press in the United States, declaring that the “authori- tles” in America recognized that some- thing must be done to correct the evils of the utter and absolute untrustworthiness of the American press. in the same article it was charged that thoughtful Americans fear that the United States Is about to come under the domination of a newspaper cligarehy, representing the worst and most sensational section of the American press. The article concluded with an indictment of the American newspapers for the ‘‘im- rropriety” of each newspaper having fits own policy with respect to public affairs. At that time the campalgn was in its climacteric week and the newspapers were flooded with election news—vastly more space being devoted to politics than fs given by American newspapers. One news- paper had a review, by constituencies, of all the London and nearby contests. In each and every case the special corre- spondent pointed out that the *right man’ could not possibly fall of election. An op- position newspaper on the same day, in the news columns, claimed every one of these seats for its party, each paper de- plored the indecent tactics of the opposi- tlon party in each constituency, and each accused the other of all sorts of outrages and misdemeanors. Mr. Lloyd-George in a speech about the merchant marine referred to the British tonnage of eleven millions. The telegraph wires got twisted and In many newspa- pers he was made to say 1,100,000,000. The error was palpable, but the conservative press ‘gave greit space and prominent headlines to what was called another ex- ample of the chancollor's inexactitude. Im- mediate eorrection was made, of course, but many of the papers did not print it. One of the principal morning papers printed the correction, but placed it with- ot & headline as a two-line note under a letter from a contributor gently calling Mr. Lioyd-George a llar. Over the whole was @ prominent headline “The Chancel- lor's Error.” The principal newspapers, instead of de- voting space to an exposition of the {ssues they represented, printed long accounts of the heckling of peers and stories of the unpopularity of the Tory leaders. They made no effcrt to refute the arguments of the other party by publishing news ar- ticles giving the facts in the controversy, but contented themselves with long and heavy editorials about the constitutional questions involved. The news columns were devoted entirely to the smallest items of Inconsequentlal news from the varlous local fights—not one n a thousand of which could get by the desk of an Amer- ican news editor. The conservative newspapers were much more effective in their style of campaign- ing, although they laid themselves open to the charge of representing the yellowest of all yellow journallsm. To read a stout tory paper Huring the campalgn one would have belleved that the German invasion could not possibly be postponed for more than two days; that the whole country was in financlal ruin and wreck: that the radical leaders wero all anarchists with dosigns on the life and property of all the rich; and that another Ifberal victory would be a license to the mob to plunder and sack. = No American newspaper, in the onslaughts against political “burglars” has ever used stronger language than was applied every day in scores of conservative newspapers to the liheral leaders, At the very last of the campaign, just as the polls were openad, “The Times," the most stald, dignified and solemn of all Journals, essed Its views Into this sentence: lberals apparently rely upon the black bread fletion, at which educated Germany 1s laughing, on pension lies, on impudent appeald to every form of ignorance, and’on the Invective of the gutter.” Probably ‘one-half of the space devoted to politics In the newspapers was given over to our old friends, “P. B. Publico,” and “Verita Sometimes these com- munfcations “ were interesting, but usually they were merely long-winded expositions of personal views, or labored and extended explanations of trivial incidents, The organs on nelther side made any use of the news article bearing on controverted policles. Although both parties maintained effective Itterary bureaus and sent out great quantities of exceedingly attractive campalgn documents and arguments, the newspapers made no use of this material except when they reproduced some pietorial poster, or when they quoted from such documents_for the purpose of inviting the public to purchase them in pamphlet form, The ‘interview,” the great American channel of distributing political news and views, is not used at all. The public men make all their announcements and argu- ments 11 their speeches; and if occasion demands an Immediats statement it is made n the form of a letter to some politi- cal friend, and the letter is then made public through the press. | One difficulty about the Interview in England is that the ordinary newspaper reporters are not given that confidence which 1s reposed in them by American political leaders. This is not because the British reporters are untrustworthy, for the opposite 1s the case. It is because the stratified and classifed constitution of British soclety makes the London reporter get his news from the fourth under-assist- ant secretary, instead of from the cabinet member himselt, as does the Washington correspondent. Exceptions are made, of course, In favor of the most prominent Journalists. The tory papers made the most of Lloyd- George's escape. in policeman’s clothing from the mob in Binrmingham, where he was to address a pro-Boer meeting, anhl continually reprinted it. They repeated over and over, after many denials, what was known as the “Lofd Savile charge,” or the “Lord Savile lie,” according to your politics, that Mr. Lloyd-George had cheered @ British defeat in the South African war while in his seat mn the commons. At the instance of the chancellor, Lord Savile re- tracted the chaxge, but the press kept it up. The liberal newspapers, supporting the government, poked fun at the noble lords in @ fashion which would have done credit to America’s livallest journals. They sald the peer's speeches recked of the stables and that certain particular peers, naming names, ought to'dearn how to be gentlemen first and noblemensjater. Compared. with American newspapers the British journals dn political activity are directed with less skill, are more partisan, are more given over to abuse and unsup- ported denunciation of the other side. Charges of corruption do not appear in the British press as freely as they do In the Americal papers at election times. There are two reasons--corruption is not nearly . so prevalent on account of the stringent laws, and things which are con- sidered corrupt in the United States are here condoned or looked upon as quite right. For instance, the press of an American city would ring with charges of corruption 1f a representative of a certuin rallroad combine were to run for con- gress for the express and avowed purpose of representing that rallway (system. It is.done by indirection, of course, but no one would dare to do it openly. In England the great business concerns have men In Parlia- ment as a matter of right. English elec- tions are much.more free from corruption than American, but the British press can- not successfully claim the same superlority. Over here a man yho reads “The Daily News' is utterly impossible as a soclal acquaintance, thinks the conservative; while the reader of “The Dally Expres 1s looked upon by all good liberals as a potentlal cracksman. They take things seriously over here, BY FREDERIO J. RASKIN, Tomorrow—ARIZONA., JOHN SMITH CUT IN FIGHT Colored Man Severely Hurt, but Cause of Trouble Does Not Appear. John Smith, colored, was badly cut last night in a fight at Smith’'s home, 1506 Burt treet. Officer Anderson arrested Albert Harper for being Implicated in the fight, but Harper says he was not the man who did the cutting. Ofticer Egan, patrol conductor, went to the place and found Smith bleeding pro- fusely from seven bad cuts on his shoulders and arms, the police station, where his wounds were dressed by assistant police surgeons, but Smith would not allow them to sew up the cuts and he was taken to his home, where a colored surgeon was called. Smith says a colored man named 1d Morris did the cutting. There were three men In the fight, but Smith declares that Morris was the one who wielded the knife Smith is a hodcarriér and one of the best men physically among the colored popula- tion. When arrested he had a revolver of large caliber with him, but it was not alleged that he made any effort to use it on his assallants. Smith would not tell what caused the fight, but Harper says it was “‘nothing but a row."” PIONEERS’ MIDWINTER PARTY Washington’s Birthday Chosen Soctal of Douglas County Association, for At the recent meeting of the general com- mittee hawing charge of the arrangements for the midwinter social of the Douglas County Assoclation of Nebraska Ploneers, these were named as chalrmen of the sev- eral subcommittees: Program, A.
