Although not altogether there ot idle curlosity, the attitude wWas different. One displayed the keen “appreciation of jthe connoiseur; the other heard the divergent points of the several machines /fexpatiated upon with the tnterest of the man in the street. But the agents ofithe company were satisfied with the attenblon they received. It is not every day or night business can be done and they reconciled themselves with the thought that tHe igrain of mustard sced dropped by the wayside might some day become & blg tree—that we interest aroused casually might develop into a craving that would not be satlsfied until the person possessed had become the sor of & model de luxe, l'nhlll' n was peeuliarly a ¢ ass out post Alive to Importance. The promoters were gratified at the at- tendance ‘as it showed that the ‘interest in the show was growing and that the general public. of Omaha was becoming alive to fhe importamee of the exhibition as an adjunct to the development of the prosperity of the city. Many from out ot town wege to be found among the groups that sautitered through the aisles and the big ha)l glowing in the refulgence of its myriad glectric lights presented a scene of animation and beauty. Tonight will be soclety night when it is anticipated the fair women and brave men of the clty and the surrounding districts will glve thelr patronage to the show and Jend it their influence towards Increasing its hold bn the position. it has attained as the leading automobile exhibition of the midwest,] Friday will see the influx of a numerous contingent of dealers from varioud parts of the state, lowa, South Dakota énd Kansas and that day is being Jooked forward to as ome of the great booming, days of the show of 1910. Many Buyers at Hand. J. J. Deright will have a new car at the show Thuirsday which I expected to attract considerable attention. It is a Mercer and B} somq mistake was shipped to Ralph itf at; Nebraska City, which makes it somewhat late in argiving. Mr, Deright has already been compelled to take one of his cars from his bootlf to make room for the Locgmobile lmousiuo which was or- dered b¥ C. N. Dietz, and will now have to move another out to make room for the Mereer, “This §as been the greatest selling show we ever Tiad,” said Dénide Barkalow of the Electric Garage company. “We have sold every car'in our booth but one and have sold nearly all our allotment of some of the higher grade cars,'” Many of the dealers are finding the same conditibn true with them,’ as no show ever held in Omaha has brought in so many buyers; &mw came early and are staying through the snow. When the blizzard raged on the Qutside, whigh kept -many. local visitors ffom the shaw Tuesday,: the b Jog was well filled’ With Visitors from of town who had come to buy. Some of the big cars were sold as soon as they were unloaded at the garages to take to ‘the.show. .None gt the, dealers have as yet placed ‘‘sold™ signs on their cars and all the salesmen are still busy talking With plospbetive duyers: A!'V. Kinsler has bought one of the larg- est oars at the show, a six-cylinder Frank- lin, ‘which is equipped with all the com- forts of home. It has a commodious trunk behind ‘for { touring and has also a small chest of lockers under the front seat, which opens into the body of the car. Like Implement Convention, “This show reminds me of an implement Gealers’ convention,” sald Roy Coffeen, manager of the Racine Sattley company, ‘which Is showing the Firestone Columbus cars. “If séems as it all the implement dealers of Nebraska hayve added a line of sutomoblles and nearly all are visiting the show to line up for their supply of cars. They all are buying heavy in anticipation ©of a blg business this season, We have ut Ralph Duff of Nebraska City is hard at work_at the show. He has control of the southern part. of the state and western lowa for several cars which are on exhibi- Uon in the Deright booth and he is taking this opportunity to meet his friends. Eb Mockett of Lincoln, dealer in automo- biles, 1s a visitor at the show. Mockett is well known to all the old bieyele men of Omaha and Nebraska, as he was formerly one of the premier racers when bicycle wacing was in vogue. Dr. Lukins 0f Tekamah has bought one ot _the nobbiest l0oking cars at the show, it {8 & two-passenger Courler, equipped with tank behind, where arcangements are also made for carrying tires. The car 1s manufactured by the same firm which puts out the Stpddard-Dayton and it has splendid lines. Sleep Refreshes the hndv for the aotivity of the next day. But if the food we eat is not fully digested it is liable to ferment in the stomach and eause gas and that may disturb sleep so that we rise more tired than when we went to bed. Gaave-Nuts Made from wheat and bar- ley is pleasant to the taste and so easily digested that sound sleep follows a supper of this food with cream or good milk.

The Rogers has made its appearance in the market. And a smart car it is. Tt is made by the Rogers Motor Car company | In Omaha. It Is a superior ear and ls sure to become one of the popular cars for business men of the west where there are hills and mud. “No matter how good the car Is or the fellow who sells it, it takes advertis- ing to'do the work," sald an’eastern auto man yesterday. ‘‘People listen to news- papers. Newspapers can speak to 50 many more than a dealer can speak to. They've | got him skinned four ways. Besides who wants to own a car about which nobody is talking, and of which the newspapers are saying nothing. The fellow' who thinks he can sell ‘cars by ‘main strength’ is a' goner.” Howard Bauer, the racing man of the Oakland, s attending the show. Bauer en- of the Oakland races last.year and of being the only American driver :who'has not been defeated. C. H. Herring, president of the Atlantic Automobile company, 18 mot'in the show with the Reo, “but just outside.” Herring has a way of impressing people, and no matter how much they wish to get Into the Auditérium, they hang on and climb over his Reos like kittens. “‘Mister, please, I'm lost,” sobbed Guy Smith to the supply man who exhibits speedometers, horns and compasses at the end of the Auditorium. The dealer hauled out a pompass forthwith and the needie flew around to the bunch of Frankiins snd Peerless. “It will be the best semson dealers have ever seen,” sald Harry Van Brunt yester- day. He keeps In touch with the people and is perhaps one of the best posted busi- ness men in this part of the country. “We have received an order from one of our | agents for 100 Overlands, to be shipped within the next thirty days.

Known for fifty-elght years as makers | of the finest carriages in the country, the | Rauch & Lang company ten years ago de- | clded to enter the ranks of the electrie car field. Three years after the company entered | the ‘same the first machinie was placed on | the market. The founder of the concern was Mr. Charles Rauch, who, in 188, bullt a small | way-side carriage shop on West Twenty- fitth street, which was then known as Pear] street. As business grew, shop space | was added, until now the square feet of room utilized in the manufacture of the | Rauch & Lang electrics is 275,000, At the Automobile show at Portland, Ore., the only air-cooled motor car shown was the Franklin, and in order to give its cooling system an extreme test a seventy- two-hour, mnostop run was made with | one of the Franklin cars. ‘This ended With- out a sign of ovérheating of the engine or | adjustment or replacement of any of its parts during the three days of continuous | work. b The Franklin with which the test was made was a five-passenger touring. car| driven by a four-ey)inder eighteen-horse power engine. The run was made through good and bad streets in the city and out | to numerous suburban towns; steep grades | and deep mud were. encountered. The dis- tance covered was 634 miles A safe rule by which' the automobile owner will always know when his tires| are rightly inflated, is the tires must stand | up full and round under the load. The| pressure gauges do ot make allowance for | overloading and practically all subjected to frequent overolading. “Suppose for instance,” sald Mr. Weigele, explaining the Diamond's contention, “that the car weighs 3,000 pounds and the tires are pumped to the pressure called for op- posite this welght on the table of pressures. You have only to' take aboird two persons averaging 160 pounds to In¢rease the welght |upon the tires 10 per cent and then the tires not_sufficiently mfleted. The de- sirability of keeping tires pumped up so hard that they will mot flatten under a load les in the fact that this will greatly increase the service. Drummond was one of the Busiest men in Omaha yesterday. It seemed to be & special for admirers of the White and Woods Electric. They called in big bunches Drummond fx & great talkor.

The Winion Six and the Metzger are ex- hibited just across the street from the Auditorfum. Both are popular cars.and the Winton Six is by no means a new machine on the streets of Omaha. One of the most interesting departments of the show it that devoted to commercial cars. In the basement, Murphy is showing the Frayer, Miller & Randolph: Velle Auto company is showing the Wilcox; Bleotric garage Is showing the Packard. There are several other exhibits to be seen in the basement. The Great Western and the Schocht are exhibited by the Western Auto Co. The Schoct is shown in low wheels and is one of the pretty cars of the show. The Great | Western is becoming a popular car in this section. The Stanley Steamer fs exhibited by the Stanley Steamer Co.

It i the Rogers car and is to be bullt In whol by the Rogers Motor Car company at Ralston. The modern, up-to-date plant is nearly completed where assembled, but will be built'in their en- tirety. An experienced automobile builder has been secured as superintendent of the plant and the firm s now ready to take orders.

Harry Primeau, of the city clerk’s office, has been ‘caught by one of the flying holds Cupld o often usés. In the bottom of a box of lead pencils packed in Hoboken, N. Jy Mr. Primeau found the address of a New Jersey damsel, who requested the tinder to correspond. Since making this discovery Primeau has been preoccupled in the task of framing up a letter, “Just for fun,” as he tells the men in the office. Many an attempt has been abandoned and the sheet torn up, until now every man and woman about the place is inteusely Interested in Primeau's perfor- mance. “He's falling down In his bowling," says City Clerk Butler, “and is losing some of the good color he gained on his Texas vacation. Looks like he may have to go to New Jersey to settle his mind.
