An Investment in
Good Appearance '
We Stake All Our
Reputation On It
T'OU'LL find that good clothes this Fall will cost
no less than at the beginning of last Spring. We
have investigated every avenue of conditions markets,
mills and clothing tailors prices cannot be otherwise.
Yru, of course, do not want to believe this. Neith
er do we. But what we want to believe cannot alter the
actual situation.
K - K K K
There are no finer clothes made than Kuppen
heimer good clothes no cheaper clothes made, because
of the long service they give. And they look so much
better on a man a real investment in good appear
ance. Good clothes could not possibly be sold for less
than these are offered you both maker and merchant
are sacrificing part of their just profits.
If it were possible to sell clothes as these for a
fraction less than they are offered you This fall, rest as
sured. WE'D BE THE FIRST TO DO IT.

the amount assigned counties, cities

Mr. Upham's denial that he had no
knowledge of the city quota list
which Governor Cox read in a recent
speech at Pittsburgh. The question
ing by the Missouri senator finally led
to the point where Mr. Upham said
he did not know how much of the
various states quotas was assigned to
particular localities. He said he
knew of only two city financial di
rectors of the party, one each in Chi
cago and New York, but he "hoped
there were a lot more."
"I never saw a quota for any city

Chairman Hays resumed the stand

In that connection. Mr. Havs turn
ed over to the committee a letter
from an advertising agency which
stated that the ilemorcatic organiza
tion was planning to insert one thou
sand inches of advertising in the
best foreign language papers." He
said advertising experts had told him
there were 241 publications which
might be placed in such a category
and that it would cost $235,000 to
carry out f he program outlined in
the letter.
From Monday's Dally.
Dr. George I. Miller, one of the
most notable living pioneers of the
state of Nebraska, and founder of the
Omaha Herald, later merged with the
World-Herald, died Saturday night
in Omaha at the home of a neice
where he had been residing for the
past few years.
Dr. Miller had reached the ripe
age or ninety years and for sixty
live years had been a resident of Oma
ha and been active in the measures
that has led to the UDbuildintr of
the city.
He has retained his physican vigor
for the past ten vears but h
tal faculties had been badly affected.

Aug. IS. 1831. He graduated in
1852 from the New York college of

holder. In the fall of 1887, McShane
parted with the control of the Her
ald to R. A. Craig of Chicago. Mr.
Craig, in 1889, sold the paper to
Gilbert M. Hitchcock, the present
owner, who merged it with the
World.
Mr. McShane also bought the real
estate the old military headquarters
building, which was occupied by
the Herald plant, now the site of the
Orpheum theater.
The paper was especially active
in advocating every measure that
tended to build up Nebraska and
Omaha; and, during the trying days
of the early history of the Union
Pacific railroad, when the life of
Omaha was at stake, no man ren
dered more valuable services on be
half of the city than did Dr. Miller,
which fact is more fully appreciated
by the older residents of Omaha than
bj- those who have located here in
later years.
It was only by the most persistent
effort that the Union Pacific bridge
was secured for this point, powerful
prsesure being brought to bear to
locate it six miles down the river.
at a point known as Child's Point.
In the national democratic conten
tions of the period, Dr. Miller al
ways exercised a powerful influence
and could have secured political pre
ferment on many occasions had he not
chosen instead to retain his place
with the Herald, wjiich he deemed a
place of much greater importance.
In 1888 Dr. Miller was appointed
manager for Nebraska of the New
York Life Insurance company. He
was president of the board of park
commissioners and took active inter
est in the development of the park
and boulevard system. Miller park,
which he was instrumental in estab
lishing, was later named for him.
About this time he built for him
self a country home on what is now
the Seymour park tract near Ralston.
He established an artificial lake
which now supplies the Cudahy park
ing plant with ice. The original
residence buildings were later burn
ed. The doctor leaves no children.
Mrs. K. O. Stcihm and two little
daughters who have been spending
several weeks here at the home of
the mother of Mrs. Steihm, Mrs. J. E.
Douglass and family, returned last
evening over the Rurlington to their
home at liloomington, Indiana.
Read the Journal.
In the contest for district delegates hong as these' sub-divisions were made
and alternates, Kmil Hild of this city
secured a majority of the votes for
the position of alternate but later
declined the position.
The members of the party from
this city found the city of Hastings
a very pleasant location for the con
vention and the meeting throughout
was most interesting, indicating the
activity of the Legion over the state.
A large number of the posts were
well represented, but Omaha had the
largest delegation present aside from
the posts in the immediate vicinity
of Hastings.
Joe McCarthy, Jim Warren and
Jack Ledgeway departed this after
noon for Denver and the west where
they will enjoy a short vacation be
fore the resumption of their school
work.

Mr. Upham agreed with Senator
Pomerene that it was both possible
and probable that large sums would
be raised in industrial centers by
either party of which the national cf
ficesr of the party would have no
knowledge. The witness said no one
knew what amounts would be ex
pended by county organizations, and

Ball Grounds on Chicago Ave
nue, Largely Attended.
From Wednesdays raily.
The picnic held yesterday bv the
Methodist Sunday school proved one
of the most pleasant of the enter
tainments of the summer season and
was held at the eld base ball grounds
on Chicago avenue, which Jesse Per
ry. chairman cf the grounds commit
tee had secured for the big event.
The attendance was very pleasing
as in the neighborhood of 200 of the
members of the school and teaching
force were in attendance at the
festivities.
The event had been well planned
and James Kuykendall and V. T. Am,
who headed the sports committee,
had arranged a number of games for
the young folks including a base
ball game for the boys and sports
for the young ladies of the party that
served to pass the time most delight
fully. At 6:30 the "eats" committee,
headed by Mrs. W. I. Ilowland as
chairman, proceeded to offer the big
attraction of the event, a fine picnic
supper which the ladies of the
church had prepared and brought
with them and those who have had
the opportunity of enjoying one of
the feasts prepared by the Methodist
ladies can well appreciate the array1
of dainties that were offered to the
young people.
As the shades of evening were
falling, the members of the party
wended their way homeward feeling
that it had certainly been a most
pleasant and enjoyable event in the
social activities of the church.
