Big German Barracks
on Island Near Kiel
Destroyed by Fire
COPENHAGEN, DecJ 12. (Via London.)
-.News has been received here that tha
great Oottorp arracks near Kiel have
been destroyed by fire, the origin of
which Is kept secret.

which lies between the Srhlet and Burg

Omaha Lawyers Say
Federal Opium Act.
Unconstitutional
Federal authorities in Omaha have re
ceived word from Washington that the
United States supreme court would de
cide shortly tha, constitutionality of the
federal opium act, which prohibits the
importation Into United States of opium
that can ba used for tznnkibg purposes.
The fate of a number of men convicted
in Omaha for violating this .act either
in smuggling opium or having it In their
possession now awaits the ruling of tho
highest tribunal In the land.
The case Is before the supremo court
on the appeal of fourteen customs guards,
convicted sometime ago as members of
an alleged cplura smuggling rlag.
It is understood hers that tho United
States supreme court has put the opium
cases ahead two years on the court calen
der, assuring a ruling soon.
Loyally it is contended by a number of
attorneys, who defended convicted men
that tho federal statute as It now stands,
is an Invasion of the pollco rights of the
states and is otherwise nonconstltutional.
They attack the validity of the. provis
ions of tho law, which fix the mere pos
session of contraband opium as evidence
cf illegal connivance in smuggling operations.

PARrS, Dee. 12. The inspiring presence

Matin.
' "Soldiers! Heroes! Tour old king has
come to die with you for the fatherland
for Servia. Let us drive out ths' enemy."
These hlalorio words, says tha Matin's

of tho Austrlans. Ths a scd king arrived
on( tho battle front at ths supreme mo-'
ment wnen tha country a fats Lung In

gan before Topola, the eradle of tho
Karageorgevitch dynasty, tsn miles from

In order to obtain rock bottom figures from the manufacturers
we were obliged to buy over three thousand pianos to be delivered
during the year 1914. The unfortunate condition In the south caused
by the cotton market, with the holding back of the wheat and corn
crop by farmers in the north for higher prices, hat created such a.
depression In our piano business that we find ourselves largely over
stocked, with nearly five hundred instruments on hand and In trans- .
,lt, and only- two weeks' time to dispose of them. Rather than store
these pianos we will sacrifice prices In order to place them In
many homes, and get the benefit of the advertising therefrom.. Read the list of bargains below, shown

A Happy Combination
It didn't "just happen" that the richest fanning
section tf our nation is covered by the best farm pa
per. The best farmers naturally read the best farm
paper. Besides, this territory and the farm paper v
did not attain their present prominence over night.
In each case, development has been gradual but surt,
Eaoh depended on the other. When. our first issue
was printed, many years ago, corn was so cheap it
was used for fuel. Conditions, with both, have
changed. This year, while each farmer of this terri
tory has raised a $2500 crop of grain (not to mention -his
live stock profits) Twentieth Century Farmer
is being regularly read by a larger number of far
