THE OMAHA DAILY BEE: SATURDAY. JUNE 3. HMUi. 11 8 To Our City Patrons IVe kindly request customers who make small purchases to take same with thcm as we expect our delivery service to be taxed to its utmost capacity. Thti is a request we advise for tomorrow only. To Our Mail Order Customers We will Jill your mail orders for these "Special Sale Suits' if orders are received not later than Wednesday. Your orders will receive th same careful attention as if you atttended the sale in person. This morning we commence one of the most important Suit Sales we have ever urged the men of Omaha to attend. This great sale not only involves a large number of suits, offering a broad selection, but the values they include are most phenomenal. The superior quality of the garments is such as has never before been sold in Omaha for double the money. They were manufactured by the two most representative wholesale tailors of New York City. These great concerns, after completing a very successful season's business, had left on hand a surplus stock of 1976 fine suits by actual count. We purchased the entire lot at a remarkably low price the best purchase we i I' mWW&l have ever 1 mms-'esf made. The entire lot has been divided into two great groups. Men's Suits worth $15-$18-$20 -C3 TODAY Yur choice will be free and unrestricted. Men s Negligee Shirts, 45c Men's New elipee Bhirts, io lijrht and medium pat terns percales.

The life of a straw hat in Omaha is not over six weeks and as a rule dressy men require about two straw hats for the season. The first hat they gen erally like to be as good as possible, and opinions differ as to style and price some men will pay $2.50 or $3.50, others are satisfied with a fine ?1 hat. We want to say right here that our lines of straws at 45c, 75c and ?1 are the best for the price in Omaha.

Mrs. Lillian Algoe appeared before Judge Day In criminal court during the noon hour on Friday with her attorney. John O. Telser, and pleaded guilty to blackmailing Edward Rosewater. Judge Day imposed a straight fine of V-'M. Mrs. Algoe went back to the county jail and her attorney said he did not know whether she could get her friends In Michigan and Pennsylvania to pay the fine or not. I. J. Dunn was not j-resent. Before sentence was passed and in re sponse to the usual queFtion as to whether she had anything tc say Mrs. Algoe. handed to Judge Day six or eight sheets of letter paper, on which she had written the con fession and plea. Mrs. Alaoe'a Confession. This Is the confession: Mav jn. 19H5. Judge Day. Criminal Court. City: Dear Blr I want to plead guilty to the charge of blackmailing E. P.os-water. for which my huaband and myself are charged in the po lice court. I want to say that I alone am honest in the matter. We came here to Omaha last February, expecting that my husband would get work on the I'nion Pa cific railway, as he was an expert fireman for years. We were disappointed. We then tried in every way possible to get honest employment. My husband worked for some time with the Carpenter Paper com pan v of this city and the Avery Threshing com pany. In this latter place he worked at various things, putting up engines and even sawing wood, for which he received lit per week. These positions were only tem porary. He tried many other places to get work. He went to hotels and machine shops, wholesale and retail stores and fac tories, and on two different occasions to Lincoln, where he thought he might work on the Burlington road. He was disap pointed in every place, lie called at the street car office, barns, and tried to get a position as motorman on the street car. until lie made life a burden to the street car men. Days and days went by with no prospect of permanent employment. I my self tried to secure work and for several weeks was employed as cashier at the Coney Island restaurant at a salary of 4 a week. During this time when we were seeking employment I had met Mr. Rose water and tried to rent the cigar sta:U from him. He treated me very klndlv and Was Sorrv that he MlllM nnt criv- Ha cigar privilege, but suggested that I would ! truly uu wen wim a news stand. Cine dav I asked him to call at the hotel to talk "over the matter of a lease. am determined no larger crimes will be committed in my attempt to absolutely wipe out everything. I shall take my pun ishment and remember In future that any little misfortune , may not successfully be covered by wrongdoing, as one misstep will surely lead to another, and possibly end in a monstrous wrong. Mr. Rosewater's actions toward me were always gentlemanly and proper and he never at any time had any improper rela tions or engaged in improper conversation with me., i regret his position and can appreciate it because of the awful noto riety. 1 have been disgraced with him, but it is beyond my power to do more than make a full and final statement. I was not well before this trouble, and am now in a terrible nervous strain and cannot trust myself to talk without fear of breaking down. I ask the court for clemency. I sincerely hope that you will not believe all that the (tapers have said about me. Some statements are true, others misleading. In attempting to sus tain myself in the position i assumed, I was obliged to make misleading state ments to the newspaper reporters and to Maurice s lawyer, but even some of these were colored by the papers. Please do not take what the papers have said into con sideration in deciding my case. Yours Five Mlnatea In the Room. Mr. Rosewater called and was with mo about five minutes, discussing the question of a lease, when my husband returned and came into the room, the latch of the door of which had caught.

When the court had waded through the above, which was written in pencil 'and many of the words misspelled, Attorney Yeieer addressed the court on behalf of his client, lie said, in substance: The accused has submitted her own state ment of this affair, which, indeed, seems pitiful to me.

I never thought that silence und-r some circum stances and talk with third parties would be a crime, although I rm now satisfied it is. and I should net have done it. My hole crime was in lending aid to Maunee. although Maurice was Innocent and be lieved I hd done w rong. My crime was in taking the course of aiding nlm to get the money, seelr.g what I thought wis an ad vantage in Mr. Rosewater s objection to pay after he lad got away rroMi Ma irice. I felt that if he got a few hundred dollars he would get drunk and I would be ablo to get back to him. My hustwnd had been in a desperate frame of mind because of our rapidly increasing hotel bill. It was an indiscretion to stop at this hotel, but we eoald not leave without paving and con'd not pay, and h3 was afraid of tr.e penitentiary on that account. I canjiot b rm to tell you all the little thmcs that went through my mind in this trouble and the trouble 1 may yet existence with Maurice and the whole world because of all this terrible newspaper talk in addi tion to what I will have to bear my whole life. t alls It Their First Arrest. I was mirried lo Maurice In Windsor. Ont.. February 10. and this is the first lime that either one of us have ever rieen arres-ed scene, where she finally grasped at the shadow of a straw In aiding her husband lo force a settlement which she knew he was not entitled to demand, expecting it to end in a prolonged drunk, and sobering up with an explanation and a reconcilia tion. I confess I trespass upon the sacredness of her past life, and may violently slander her w hen I say I have obtained a faint Idea from that old scandal monger, rumor, that this girl may have, previous to her marriage, yielded to that dangerous and fatal lenipla:lon of nature present in every ! generation of clvlllxed races. If this rumor j is true. I fancy wo cannot imagine the jealousy of a husband for such a girl. ' though she is struggling with all her j might to live a faithful life. Goes Back to Serlptnre. j Before she is sentenced by the court or condemned by the public 1 ask one mo ment s reflection upon the case of that Woman of suame who was brought before the Savior to lie stoned to death, when He said, "He that is without sin among you. let l.lni lirst cast a stone." In this case may the rest be cast by men without sin, and may they I ten letted with the mercy of the Savior "Go and sin no more." Another thing to take into consideration is the fact that the victim is a newsnatr man. by nature and vocation fitted to bear the brunt of such blunders. What instru ment of blackmail can endure against an . instrument of manifolding slander? It is said no artist can paint a true picture of distress unless such distress has been rx Ipcriencfd by the artist. Artists, authors and r-ts have repeatedly gone down into the lap of necessity, sorrow, aadness and distress to suffer and feel the emotions they may desire to portray in song, poetry. hundred times the maximum fine. These publications have pone out dally heralding her disgrace ahead of her wherever she may go, a punishment many times greater than it is within ihe power of the court to administer, to avoid which as much as pos sible 1 publicly advise her to change her name. May I not appeal that the court will take these things into consideration and impose the minimum hne. suspending sentence on account of the fact of this punishment and because of the imprisonment already suf fered? Arolded the Crowd. It was at the request of Attorney Yelser that Judge Day and County Attorney Sla baugh consented to receive the woman's plea of guilty during the time when all the court habitues and the public were not present. The attorney wanted to save his client from the staring examination of the crowd that he thought would butt In during the regular hours of court. It is not certain that the woman's at tempted exculpation of her husband, on the ground of unreasoning Jealousy and that he did not act with premeditation, will have any weight with the court. Nei ther Algoe or his attorneys have as yet given any sign as to what course he will pursue. He was the one who actually got the money, although it seems quite certain the woman Is far the smartest of the two. See "Crosby" Model Corsets, Her Grand. Aabnry Park, X.

Many teachers and students are looking for pleasant employment during the sum mer months. They fee! that it Is necessary for them to have some practical business experience to properly balance their train ing and to keep them, so to speak, from beeoming lop-sldtd. It is practically impossible for them to obtain an office position for so short a time. There are, however, unlimited oppor tunities as salesmen or solicitors, and this kind of work, if well selected. Is more practical and usually mere profitable. In selecting this work there are certa n qualifications that must always be con sidered. The proposition must be meritori ous that Is. the article must be actually worth to the purchaser the price charged. i It should not be exclusively a luxury, but should possess some element that makes it a necessity, either in the business or house hold of the purchaser. The work should be dignified and of a nature that will com mand the respect of the people, ihus giving the salesman a pride In the business he is following. Salesmanship or agency work with The Twentieth Century Farmer of Omaha. Neb . has all of these qualific ations and Is usually profitable. They give employment each summer to a large cumber of teach ers and students. Mr. and Km. Frank E. Moorei Back Home from Pbtenix, Ariiona, CHIEF EXECUTIVE GOES TO RED OAK TRIAL Artine Mayor Zlmman Happy to Be So Xenrly RrlleTed of the Duties of the Office. Mayor Frank E. Moores and his bride, who was Miss Mary Malone and his former secretary, returned to Omaha early Friday morning from Albuquerque, N. M., where they stopped for a week on their Journey from Phoenix. Arix. The mayor spent five months, or since January 5. at Phoenix to escape the rigors of the Nebraska climate because of bronchial affections. The mar riage took place very quietly on February 15. and the bride and groom have been so journing at Phoenix until the northern sum mer began. The mayor is looking much better than when he went away and told his friends that he was feeling In the best of health. He did not stay more than three hours in Omaha, but left on the first train for Red Oak. Ia., where it is understood he was called to testify In the Denn'.son case. He will not lie "at home" to his friends or re sume his official duties until Saturday. Mrs. Moores came to the city hall early and held a sort of levee, receiving con gratulations from scores of friends and ac quaintances and enjoying the flowers sent In honor of the couple and their arrival hack home. Among the many floral gifts was a tremendous sheaf of roses from City Treasurer Hennlngs In a magnificent cut glass vase. It is probable that a reception will be given to Mayor and Mrs. Moores next week, but this has not been quite ar ranged. Mrs. Moores Meets Friends. Mrs. Moores, who was fairly blooming with good health and spirits, was not In clined to be Interviewed as an official rep resentative of the mayor's, although she admitted she could not resist running over to the city hall Just as soon as she had ier breakfast to meet her friends and "see how things were gotng." She remained there most of the morning and declared she was genuinely glad to get back Into the old storm center of local politics again. Mrs Moores, however, Intimated that when she ceased to be the mayor's secretary and be came his wife she dropped such things for the quieter atmosphere of domestic life. The man who was happiest to learn of the home coning of Mayor Moores was Acting Mayor Zlmman. "I have ha 1 all I want of this Job," raid Mr. Zlmman, who will resume the plain title of councilman Saturday. "Five months' experience with it has caused me to conclude that the mayor's office Is the focus of all the grief and family trouble In the city. I have drawn double salary while holding the job. but I haven't saved a cent. The poverty, the pain and the sorrow that I have been forced to consider during those five months gives me a heavy heart. Twenty minutes does not pass during the day that some person In difficulty does not come to the mayor's office for help. It Is Impossible, of course, to properly assist all, or even a small number of them, and this fact is the saddest part of the whole busi ness. Today I am actually experiencing a feeling of relief such as I have not known since I was a boy." Specially Conducted Party In Private Car to Lewis nnd Clark Exposition.

Men have gathered families around them since the very beginning of time, and within the shelter of four walls enjoyed the seclusion with their loved ones. The very sweetest memories of home and family life cluster around the piano, or It may be a cabinet organ.
