ALBERT COMES TO OMAHA
Platte County Fop for Supreme Judge
Feeli Local Fulie.
EXPECTS f TO HEAD OFF L00MIS
Not C'oaatlaa; on (arrylaa; Metropolla
I!alllwck, but on Catting; Down
Its Majority for the Fre
mont Man.
Judge Albert of Columbus, wlv wants
to be the fusionist nominee to the supreme
bench, la In Omaha feeling the pulse of
the unterrlfied on the subject of his can
didacy. Of course, the unterrlfied In Omaha
are democratic, except In a very few spots
where lonely pops of the dyed-ln-the-wool
order may be found. Judge Albert Is
accompanied by C. M. Gruenther, clerk of
the district court of Platte county, who
left his own campaign for renomlnation
long enough to help his neighbor to Judi
cial honors. Judge Albert has little hope
of carrying Douglas county for the nomi
nation, admitting that Senator Loomis of
Fremont Is better acquainted, but he hopes
to cut down the Ftemont man's lead so
that when It goes up against the large
vote of Plutte eounty tor Its own candidate
It will be praotlcally uestroyed and the
result left to the remainder of the state.
Mr. Gruenther is the man who car
ried Platte county for George W. Be.rge
and Incidentally took the scalps of Ed
ward Howard, P. K. McKIUIp and , other
veterans and made them like It Mr. Gru
enther Is a young man. He used to run a
newspaper at Platte Center and later waa
elected clerk of the district court. A year
ago, when the Platte county leaders de
cided to name no populist for governor,
Mr. Gruenther took Issue with them. He
was not counted a strong politician and the
"old crowd" waa telling how Platte county
would act In the state convention. Then
the county convention jnet and Instructions
for Berge were Introduced. The fight waa
in the convention and the instructions
were adopted by a vote of 129 to 8. Then
Mr. Gruenther turned In to show that he
waa not ."sore" when Bhallenberger was
nominatod. Platte county gave the dem
ocratic candidate a bigger majority than
any candidate had previously received.
The clerk of the district court Is noti
fying Judges and clerka of electlsn who
jerved last year that they will be expected
to act at tho coming primary. Each
judge and clerk Is notified by registered
letter and all must respond within time
specified In the letter so that the boards
will be ready for work on the morning of
September 3.
Tho city clerk Is experiencing some dif
ficulty in securing responses from regis
tration officers. They were notified early
in the week to call at the clerk's office
and report for duty. 6ut of 161 In the city
forty have obeyed Instructions. Tho city
council may be compelled to fill vacan
cies at Its meeting Tuesday and a special
meeting may be necessary later In the week
to complete the registration boards.
FRANK H. ROBINSON DEAD
Former Omaha Man Dies at Alamo-
gordo. N. M., After Years
f A at h ma.
, Relatives of George H. Robinson, at 114
South Twenty-sixth avenue, are In receipt
of news of the death of Mr. Robinson at
Alamogordo, N. M.. Monday. The teleg
raphers' strike delayed the message and
before Its receipt here a letter came to the
Omaha family written by Mr. Robinson
himself last Saturday, In which he said his
health had become so bad he had asked
for a transfer back to Omaha.
Mr. Koblnsnn died at the age of SS of
asthma, from which he had suffered for
two years. He was a government Inspec
tor and waa transferred from Omaha to
New Mexico three years ago. Prior to hla
entering the employ of the government he
was In the employ of the Union Pacific for
years, attaining a chief clerkship before
he left. In the Union Pacific circles, as In
all other where he- was known, he was
very populur. He leaves a large number
of friends In Omaha who will be grieved
to learn of his death. He will be burled
In Alamogordo. One brother, Frank W.
Robinson of Chicago, has gone to take
charge of the funeral affairs. Mr. Robin
son had only been married since last De
cember, and besides his widow he leaves
In Omaha a mother, one brother, Paul T.,
and two sisters. Misses Ruth and Hattle
Robinson, and the other brother of Chicago.

COMBINATION SUMMER FROCK
On of the Gown that May Be Used
for Many Dlfferi-nt Oe
What la known as a boating frock Is a
good sdrtltlon to a wardrobe, as It may
be used for other purposes. It Is merely
a simple little costume of whtte serge,
mohair or rajah, made with a plain short
skirt with three pleats on each side of th
front breadth and a blouse r'eated to
match, with sleeves ending above the
elbow. This In finished with broad turn
back collar and cuffs of broderle anglalse
and a sailor tie of soft silk. t
.Two other pretty and practical little cos
tumes that will be useful for tennis or
morning wear generally are In Jumper
style, of linen, one of white with pleated
skirt, and the Square cut fronts of the
bodice ornamented by four large buttons.
The other In white striped with coral has
the stripes prettily contrasted In the trlm-
CORAL AND WHITE LINEN,
mlng and the straps over the shoulders
re fastened to a little bib front by tiny
pockets of coral linen, of which material
the belt IS composed.
This last chat mlng little French costume
strikes the note to which the seashore
wardrobe should be keyed. All Its Horns
may and should be pleasantly frivolous
and feminine, 'with even an accentuated
touch of summer gayety.
For the summer wardrobe anywhere
linen Is In active service from morn till
dewy eve. From the plain tailored coat
ard skirt of heavy linen up through va
rious degrees of lace trimmed and em
broidered elaboration to the befrtlled hand
kerchief linen frock with Dutch neck for
evening wear it is always good.
WTiite in this as In avery other material
Is more favored than colors, though one
sees striped and plalded linen frocks and
costumes In such colors as mustard, gray
and violet often combined with laces dyed
to match the linen. A pretty little morning
gown Is made of white linen delicately
BLUE AND WHITE.
plalded off wUh blue and trimmed with
broad white bands braided In a bold design
with blue soutache. Two French gowns
show bold but charming combination of
white and colored linen.
One In a broad blue and white strip Is
trimmed with the plain blue linen In a
band cut In points about the edge of th
skirt, and a girdle which continues In a
band up the front of the blouse and around
the low. cut neck. The loose sleeved gown
la, of course, worn with a lingerie gulir.pe.
,The other rather bizarre French costume
I of white linon, but nearly covered with
curious long pointed pieces of rose linen
in a manner only to be explained by the
accompanying sketch. 8uch daring com
binations should never be attempted by
any but the best dressmakers, and plain
white la on the whole much safer and more
becoming, though tiny accents of color In
girdle, vest and collar and cuffs are always
good.
Whit linen Is conjured Into wonderful
richness for afternoon wear for all occa
sions by embroidery and Inset lace. These
costumes are nothing If not costly, and no
wonder, when one-considers the wealth of
hand work and the quantity of filet, Irish
cluny and Venetian lace which are lavished
upon them.
Simple Life In n Mansion.
The palatial home of Charles M. Schwab

CLARKE HAS SOME CHANCE
Flury Murderer Probably Will Not
Hang August 30.
STAY OF EXECUTION EXPECTED
Colored Persona Call oa Governor,
Mho Will Decide Qaesttou of
i Comuiatntlon of Sentence
Moudaf,
The probability Is Harrison ClarkS will
not be hansed August 30 for the murder
of Edward Flury. tha street car conductor.
This statement comes from Lincoln and Is
based on developments In the movement
waged by colored persons in behalf of
Clarke at the state capital.
Saturday morning several colored per
sona from Omaha, Including Mrs. Clarke,
Henry Plummer and Benton Bell of South
Omaha, called upon Governor Sheldon and
urged him to commute the sentence of
Clarke from death to life Imprisonment,
using the argument that since this had
been done In tho case of Jay O'Hearn,
the slayer of Vels L,austen, It Should be
done In the case of the colored man.
Governor Sheldon took the matter under
advisement and told the commutes he
would announce his determination Monday.
lit the meanwhile there Is a belief that
If Ui governor, falls to see his way clear
to commute the sentence a member of the
supreme court may grant a stay of exe
cution for a rehearing affording the col
ored folk an opportunity to be heard in bis
behalf. As the supreme court does not
convene until In September, If this course
Is taken, l will mean that Clarke cannot
be hanged on the date set, August to.
Clarke's wife and her friends are confi
dent, therefore, he has at least another
chance for his life.
Promlrfent Men In Movement.
Among the colored persons who are ac
tive In the movement to secure the com
mutation are 'Rov. John Albert Williams,
Rev. J. A. Bingaman, Rev. C. W. Wright,
nev. J. W. Wilson, John Grant Pegg, city
inspector of weights and measures; Henry
Flummer and Benton Bell of South Omaha.
"The Idea is, as I understand It," said
Rev. John Albert Williams, "to have each
person see Influential friends of his In be
half of a commutation of sentence. We
wish to be thoroughly understood In this
mutter; e are not arguing that Clarke did
not murder Flury; that he was not given
a fair trial and fairly convicted; that he
should r.ot be punished. We are arguing
that as long as Jay O'Hearn, the white
murderer of Nels Lausten, had his death
penalty reduced to life Imprisonment the
colored murderer ' should get the same.
Why make fowl of one and fish of the
other. Personally I think it would be fair
to hang both."
PROPHESIES FOR THE SLEEVES
Modistes Predict Style Will
from One Extreme to the
Other.
tie
The short sleeve fad has been carried to
the point of caricature and has had a
long career. So some change Is due; nnd
while the short sleeve will unquestionably
be much worn throughout the summer aud
will always have Its place or certain types
of dress it seems probable that we shall
see the mitten sleeve upon a great many
of the dreasy frocks In, the autumn and
the prospect Is a pleasant one.
Incidentally It will make a difference In
glove bills, for the long glove proposition
i has been a serious one to women of mod
I .rita Income and even in Paris the price of
gloves has gone up on account of the
scarcity of kid. The silk glove settles the
problem during the summer or many
women, but the silk glove Is never smart
or dress and fashionable women prefer
wash leather, chamois, etc., for common
use. (
The loose wash leather gloves are correct
with mourning frocks, for driving, etc.,
and for dressier wear the soft long glove
of yellowish tone or palest biscuit or gray
is more chic than white, though a majority
of the women cling to the white glove be
cause It cleans more readily and more often
titan any colored glove and Is In conae
I quence more pracjjcal. Even after the
i hands of the long white gloves are de
j moralised beyond hope, the owner still sends
the gloves to the cleanser, for the long
; arms of tho gloves will clean Indefinitely,
and having been cut off at the wrist may be
worn with short gloves, the point of union
being concealed among the wrinkles at the

WASHING AND DYEING LACES
Some Secrete for Freshlna; and Do
ing; Over Three Deltcnte
Thing, n
Real lace either the linen lace made on
pillows, or that which is made of differ
ent kinds of lace braids and various glitches
done by hand washes very well, and will
stand washing almost any number of times
If treated with reasonable care. Machine
made lace, on the other hand, while It will
wash fairly well, If of a good quality,
has nothing like tho wear of real lace.
In either case the great point about wash
ing lace Is to do It gently, never rubbing
soap onto the surface nor using strong
soap. A lather may be made, either with
soap Jelly or a very mild washing powder;
or they may be washed, In borax water,
hot but not boiling. If the lace Is very
dirty It can be steeped first in cold water.
In a general way one does usually starch
lace, for tionlng It while wet Imparts a
certain stiffness. If. however, It is needed
very stiff, It can be dipped In either hot
water starch or cold water starch.
In any case. It Is Ironed while wet with
a good hot iron. At first, until It Is almost
j dry, put a piece of clean rag or a stout
handkerchief between the iron ana me
lace, then Iron it dry without. The lace
should be pulled out gently with the fin
gers, especially the outernmoat edge, be
fore Ironing.
There are, however, some kinds of lace
that have a raised surface, which are bet
ter Ironed between blankets, or not ironed
at all. These should be stretched while
till wet with a pin at each point, or at
distances of an Inch or less apart. They
may be stretched either on a large sheet
of clean cardboard, a drawing board, or
even a baking board; either of these 'it will
be easy to stick pins Into. Another way of
pressing lace with a raised surfnee Is to
wind It around a bottle filled with hot
water, which dries and presses It on the
wrong side at the same time.
Woolen laces should be rinsed in water
of exactly "the same temperature as that
In which it is washed. Black lace needs
l vinegar In the rinsing water.
Ecru or strong colored lace should be
dipped In a cup of strained coffee before
Ironing; If not deep enough the process can
be repeated.
While the ordinary advertised dyes will
dye laces quite successfully, using vinegar
for animal fabrics, such as silks and wool
ens, and soda for vegetable ones, like cot
ton and linen It presents this difficulty.
For the most part when one wants to dye

laocs It Is n-o-nnry that tuey mould match
perfectly with some special slinde or tone
of color; unless they can be made to match
exactly they are better unilyed.
The bent way to accomplish this Is with
a small tube of oil paint, such as artists
use. and gasoline; you can keep trying a
little sample until you get it at the right
depth. A tube of approximately the right
simile ran usually be purchased, although
it may need a mixture for an exact match.
For Instance, suppose you want to dye
woolen luce to mutch one of these beauflful
dull hlucR-not loo dnrk and not too light.
Almost any tubo of blue alono would pro
duce too raw .ooklng a color to match.
Just a touch of Ivory black added to cobalt
blue will make the difference.
Burnt sienna (which Is a very strong
colorln oil palr.ts), with the Judicious ad
dition of a suspicion of Ivory black, will
probably come nearer matching your brown

It should be s. very dull brown.
NEW BILLS MJCH ALIKE
Ten and Tnrnty Dollar Gold Cert i A.
eaten Hard to Illatlngnlsh
Apart.
While th new $10 golu certificates au
thorized by the last congress and placed
In circulation the first of July, Is a triumph
of the engraver's art, the general design
la almost Identical with that of the 120
gold note recently Issued, says Samuel J.
Henry, , writing for the Bulletin of the
American Institute of Banking. To bank
men and other handlers of money this sim
ilarity which lss really remarkable, will
cause the bill to be unpopular. And the
general public, too, will have difficulty In
easily distinguishing the two bills. It
Would 'Seem that utility has been sacrificed
to art. Even a casual glance at the notes
In question will make It manifest that their
concuirent circulation will be attended by
conftiiiion and possible loss.
To be sreclhc in the objections, the loca
tion of the vignette In each Is exactly the
same, and their appearance strikingly sim
ilar. The coloring of boh notes Is Identi
cal. Unhappy sumeness characterizes other
features. Doubtless the Treasury depart
ment Is Justified in using a uniform color
for the gold Issues, but It should stop
there and not seek further uniformity, a
cordlne to Mr. Henry, who says that an
entirely distinctive design ought to be
adopted for each denomination. If this Is
not done the treasury department. Instead
of being a source of assistance to the
business world, will really be hampering It.
Another objection Is that the figure "10,"
which appears In the upper corners of the
face of the note, is entirely too small, not
only for rapid counting but for general
use. It would be far better if It were of
larger slse clear and distinct.

the net outward movement from Scotch

dui-ing the six months from January to
June of thla year waa 26,000. As these are
the six months during which emigration
chefly takes place, the figure of the yar
