PURE FUN AT EVERY TURN Omaha Rotarians made merry, re- galed and were r~galed at the monthly dinner at the Henshaw rathskeller last evening, staging a composite vaude- ville and minstrel show, carnival, four- ring circus and feast of Bacchus, minus the wine, that would have done credit to a holiday celebration of French art students before the war, There was not a dull moment, nor a quiet one, from the time the Rotar- ians filed into the rathskelier, donned screaiiingly-colored, various-shaped carnival hats, armed themselves with squawkers, histles, paddles and divers other merry-making instru- ments, until they toddled out of the hotel, stuffed with food and .weak from laughter. Cabaret and Then Some. Had a Sherlock Holmes looked in on the festivities he would have de ducted that the Epicurean bedlam wa a free-for-all cabaret show partici- pated in and viewed by representa- tives of all the nations of the earth, Mars and East Douglas street. Kaisers sat next to Johnny Bulls, Chinese manderins swapped yarns with Japanese mikados, Charley Chaplins kidd:d quaker deacons, and so on down the line, Every Rotarian wore some ki- of a carnival hat; some of them fitted and some of them didn’t. No one cared whether they did or not. After the guests had gorged them- selves and wer- unable to remon- strate, Ringmaster O, S, Goodrich and President Harley Moorhead man- aged to make theiuselves leard long enough to announce the star acts and contests, First came 4 hallohoo contest be- tween four erstwhile staid business men, but the while, short-skirted, kit- tenish, “dancing girls.” arl Ward, R. M. Dozier, Frank Norton, W. N. Updike and C. W. Adams disported themselyes before the expectant Rotarians, the contest being marred only by the falling off of Mr. Adams’ skirt and the accusing of Mr. Ward of trying to flirt with the dingmaster, l{y applause the crowd finally designated Mr. Ward as the winner, and he was awarded the prize, a silver-buckled leather belt. Ringmaster Goodrich next led on for approval Frank Haskell, Al Scott, Dr. C, B. Atzen and Howard Day, who, attired in baby bonnets and waists drank milk from bottles for a prize. Two of the contestants were disqualified for tearing the nipples off and drinking from the necks of the bottles. Mr. Scott won a silver handled pocket knife for his prowess as a milk drinker, ' Sextet of Chaplirts, A sextet of Charley Chaplins, con- sisting of Dr. J. B. Fickes, Al Bloom, Paul Wehrner, John Gleason, Howard Goulding and Dr. W, K. Foote,~pro- vided thirty minutes of hilarity, dash- ing around in true “flim” style in a hion that would have made many a canned drama comedian turn em- erald with envy. With pliant canes, tiny moustaches and gunboat shoes the Rotarian Chap- linites tipped over chairg, kicked up their heels and otherwise shocked their patient brother club members. The applause for the Chaplin act was so deafening that the hotel clerk came down and said a Des Moines traveling man occupying quarters on the top floor of the Hotel Fontenelle had telephoned that the noise was disturbing his rest. At least, that was rumor around the banquet room Mr. Wehrner finally managed to perspire out some Chaplin steps that the other Rotarians couldn't execute and he was presented with a pair of gold cuff links. He averred after- wards that he wouldn’t work that hard again for a hundred shares in a radium mine, The big hit of the evening was a smashing minstrel show by the “Rotatin club” of three—John Mec- Cague, jr.; Harry Koch and Harry | Cox. They acquitted themselves like veteran minstrel men, singing paro dies on popular songs, cracking jokes at the expense of other Rotarians and thumbing their banjos and guitars in la classy manner “Who was those gem'men I saw vou with on the court house steps the other day," interrogated “Bones” Mc Cague Dose was no gem'men, answered Bo Koch. “Dose was President Sorehead and Secretary Donson of the Rotatin club.” | There were doctors in the cre and the show went on when the per | formers had been revived.

RAILS GIVE CHIEF INCENTIVE New York, June 1—Disregarding the more ominous: aspect of the Mexican situa- tion and the cumulative uncertainties of domestic political conditions today's market was plainly disposed to move to higher levels aftor an early period of hesitancy. Rails sup- plied the chief incentive, Norfolk & West. ern showing the way by its gain of five points to the new high quotation of 130, Simultaneously Norfolk & Western converti- ble 448 gained 2 to 2% points. Other coal shares strengthened in sym- pathy, notably Reading and Lehigh Valley, with moderate gains in some of the Pacfics, including Hill shares. Grangers and eastern lines were firm to strong, deriving a strength from additional excellent state- ments of earnings, to which Baltimore & Ohlo proved a striking exception War issues, particularly bonds, were again tavorably influenced by peace rumors which persisted despito denial and protestations from bigh sources. Anglo-French bs at- tained & new high record at 102% and Japa- nese 4%s bearing the German stamp and implying former ownership in the latter country wers up & point Shipping shares, Rubber issues, Motors and Sugars featured the specialties. Mercantile Marine preferred made an extreme gain of 2% on reports of an approaching agreement among the opposing intercsts together with & brilllant statement of cash resources, and United Fruit came into renewed prominence with an advance of 2% points. Among ob- seure industrials the common and first and eecond preferred shares of the Gulf States Steel company attracted attention by thelr further gains of 3% to 9 points, and Lee Rubber mads a new high record at b6 Moxicans, especially oils, were under the cloud created by the firm attitude of the Washington government toward the latest note of the Mexican authirities and some of the less prominent munitions and kindred Jusues were moderately heavy. Highest prices were shaded just before the close on re- newed welling of Reading. Total sales of stocks amounted to 360,000 shares, Recelpt of more gold from Canada, bring- ing the total on the current movement from that country up to about $27,000,000 was without effect on sterling rates, which were barely steady, with firmness in francs and slight easo in marks Firmness marked the trend of the bond lst, with increased Inquiry for speculative faties, Total sales, par value, $3,780,000 United States bonds were unchanged on call Am.

The Commercial club has decided to get behind the movement. The board of governors of Ak-Sar-Ben is to go in a body. It was the gover- nors who first started the movement for a special train and asked the co- operation of the Commercial club and | other organizations, The Omaha Ro- | tary club is to join in, and the Omaha Real Estate exchange voted Wednes- day to get out a good representation to make the trip. Other clubs and organizations are to be seen with a view to getting as full a trainload as possible, The definite time for the train to| start has not yet been fixed. It will go out of Omaha in the morning, | however, in time to get the crowd to | Lincoln for all of the important events of the day, and returning will leave after the evening performances ¢ over j e IT PAYS—TRY HAYDEN'S FIRST—IT PAYS.
