We will Jill your mail orders for these
"Special Sale Suits' if orders are received not

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

The entire lot has been divided into two great groups.

You can lav aside both derby and soft hats, for

are all right. 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

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

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

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. Mr. Algoe is my

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

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

went through my mind in this trouble and

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

jealousy of a husband for such a girl.

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

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.

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.

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."

A home devoid of music Is, to say
the least, a cheerless place, and what
Instrument equals the piano In the
home? One that all the family can
use if they try.
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
