An attempt was made several years ago by Mr. Mayfleld to | originate the department under the South Omaha Library board, but for financial reasons the start proved a failure. “I have every reason to belleve that the venture is a sure thing ‘this time,” Mayfield sald yesterday. “The Omaha Library board appointed a committee some wecks ago to investigate the mat- | ter and reported favorably, 1 understand. | Action will probably be taken during the coming week by the board authorizing the expenditure of enough money to carry the thing through.” “We have every reason to predict suc- |cess in the plan.

RECEPTION TO NEW STUDENTS | The plunge in the new Bellevue college Eymnasium is a subject of great interest in Bellevue and South Side circles just now. Even North Omaha Is concerned, for with the closing of the pool in the Metropolitan buflding October 1 a large number of awimming enthusiasts will be deprived of thelr wonted pleasure, E. L. Puls of the department of ex pression, who s connected with the Omaha Conservatory of Music and Art. has made arrangements with President Nicholl to open the Bellevue pool certain evenings of the week to accommodate these people as weli as any others who are Interested, The Bellevue Presbyterian Ald soclety under the leadership of their president, Mrs. W. N. Paxton, is forming a class to receive instruction in swimming from Miss Bernice Miller, the new girls' swim- ming Instructor. The village men, not to be outdone by the women are planning to use the plunge as often as possible, and a young woman's class composed of South Side and Bellevue girls will probably be tormed The faculty and old students of Belle- vue college entertained the new students and friends of the collexe at a reception in Rankin hall Friday evening. The rooms were decorated In greens and fall flowers in the school colors, purple and ®old. In the receiving line were President and Mra. W. E. Nicholl, C. M.

The “Follles” present two burlettas, one “Hot Dog” and the other ‘“What Does the Public Want” ' : In each Mr. Gerard has daringly re- moved himself from the threadbare, slap-stick variety of shows that lose patrons of burlesque every day. “Hot Dog” is a laughing farce about a vendor of gucculent wienerwursts, and “What Does the Public Want” is a skit that {llustrates an argument between Oscar Hammerstein, David Belasco, Al Reeves and George Cohan. Each character en- deavors to produce his own interpreta- tlon of the public theatrical desire, and between the four the effect is most pleas- ing. George Murphy has the part in the show made famous by Sam Sidman, and he gives a creditable performance. Ann Propp is a daring little creature who wins friends easily, and she received many encores. Others to score were Ches- ter Nelson, Elsie May, Dorothy Beiber, Edith Malvore, Jack Smith, John Wil- llams and Mildred Laurle, ‘The chorus girls are well chosen—three of them especially. Gerard's show calls for an enormous amount of expensively beautiful scenery and some novelties in brilliant costumes, It is not exaggeration to say that it is one of the very best shows on the Columbla cireuit. Kansas Harvest “Hand Loses Roll And Ring for Girl As has oft been remarked heretofore, and as G. M. Moore of Lawrence, Kan., learned to his sorrow last night, the course of true love is & rocky road in- deed. Moore worked all summer in the harvest fields of South Dakota and when he came into Omaha yesterday the first thing he did was to buy a dlamond en- gagement ring for the girl down in Kan- sas whom he some day hopes to wed. The second thing he di@ 1s what forced the above conclusion upon him. It was to attempt entry into the ranks of the aviators. He entered a lower Douglas street sa- loon and peeled a $ bill off his roll and announced that he wanted everybody to soar with him. ‘“Take this money, bar- creature. I want to bi-plane beer for the bunch.” He laughed loudly at his wit, and the bar-flies laughed with him, A few moments they were laughing at him, because one of their number had “‘touched” Moore for the ring nd for the roll, which contained about $8. Detectives Rich and Psanowski after- wards arrested Frank Gran and R. Mes- #er in connectlon with the affair. Both men denied that they took the stuff, CREIGHTON ENROLLMENT CONTINUES TO INCREASE The enrollment at the department of lbera’ arts and science and school of Crelghton university continues 1o increase.

Bold Theft In Office, A bold theft, displaying considerable cleverness on the part of the thief, was executed last Friday night, when the busi- ness place of J. L. Duff, real estate and fire insurance man with offices at 2312 L streets, just outside the center of the downtown district, was broken into and several checks on different firms and South Side people taken out of the safe. On September 5, a Sunday evening, the home of Mr. Duff was broken into and the keys to the office and the safe were taken. Last Friday night the same thieves, evidentally, secured access to the safe by means of the keys. They were able to unlock inner doors of both the office and the safe. Entrance was made by breaking into the back window. Police are keeping a close’ lookout. for the thieves. Several thefts of the same bold character have taken place in the last two weeks. Miss Saxe Talks. Under the tutorship of Miss Saxe of the “Bllly” Sunday party, some 100 girls, mostly students of the South Side High school, are meeting weekly at the First Presbyterian church. Miss Saxe, who or- ganized the class, is the instructor and has instilled enthusiasm among all her Bible students. Announcement in The Bee yesterday that the class was organized in the high school building was incorrect, owing to a mistake of the high school reporter. The class was organized and is meeting in the Presbyterian church. New Schooy Opened.

At the sight of Motoroycle Officer Bert | Hiatt rounding the corner of Railroad | avenue and W street, coming directly | thelr way, two young auto thieves, drove the stolen car in which they were | riding directly into the Union Pacific rail | road yards on the west side of the avenue, coming to a halting stop after they had smashed into the fence. Jumping from the machine, they at- tempted to make their escape from the speed cop by running swiftly down the raflroad tracks towards the county line a few blocks below. Hiatt pulled his gun after vainly calling upon them to stop, and was about to fire when Leo Chandler, Twenty-fourth and U streets, a friend, rounded the next street corner and at a the high | siEnal from Hiatt stopped Pabin with a quick smashing blow.

Although, according to County Attor ney Magney, more complaints than usual have been filed during the summer, there are few noteworthy criminal cases on the docket, Most of the indictments returned by the last grand jury, however, are yet to be tried, owing to the fact that pleas in abatement, filed because one grand juror was under 26 years of age, had been pending, and have only just been disposed of. The famous $0,000 kiss case is to be tried a second time during the next term and there are a large number of cases Involving the relations of men and women on the docket.

Woman Will Fight to Last for Her Cattle CHICAGO, Bept. 19.—~Mrs, Scott Durand, roclety woman and owner of a dairy farm at Lake Bluff, Il., whose $35,000 herd of Guernsey cattle has been under quarantine, today announced her intention of carrying to the state supreme court the fight to save her prize herd from slaughter. Mrs. Durand reached this decision after Judge Charles H. Donnelly of the clrouit court at Woodstock, I, refused to mhke permanent a temporary injunction ob- tained by Mrs., Durand at midnight the night before her cattle were to have been killed. The court ruled, however, that the writ remain in force pending an ap- peal to the state wupreme court. Mrs. Durand is virtually a prisoner on her farm, being quarantined until the contest 1s mettled. Attorney General Lucey sald that it the injunction were made permanent every farmer in Tllinols who owned a cow would become a party to the suit. The Constipation Bugbear BSTINATE cases of chronic constipation, which no longer respond to the usual laxative and cathar- tic remedies, may be success- fully treated by the use of Nujol as an internal lubricant. The mineral oil treatment for constipation has received the unqualified endorsement of leading specialists both in this country and abroad. It has none of the dangers of the habit- forming laxatives, and is of par- ticular value in the treatment of constipation in children. Nujol is odorless and tasteless, absolutely neutral, and is not digested or mbsorbed into the system. It acts merely as a me- chanical lubricant. Nujol is not a drug. Its use will not give quick, temporary relief. But Nujol is a genuine remedy in that it relieves con- stipation in the most natural way by lubricating the lining of the intestines, softening the intestinal contents, and thus promoting healthy and normal bowel activity, Bayonne s = AG2 the members of the Bible class with the visiting girls, who came Saturday with their parents, Miss Grace Robel had charge of ths af- fair, and was assisted by Miss Gerirud Ady.
