IMPULSE OF SUICIDE FATAL
Joseph Kntt Unable at Last to Let
".' Gun Alone. '
SENDS BULLET THEOUOH BRAIN
ftm GiprriMi Fear of Revolver
Rfcun of Strange Impulse
Prompting llm to Kill
Himself.
An impulse to take Ills lite Wtrjie ha
law a loaded revolver In a desk drawer,
is believed to have caused the suicide of
Joseph Kuan, Second street and Poppleton
venue, who shot himself through the right
temple, dying instantly, it the office of ths
Omaha Brick company, Seoond and Dorcas
streets, at :S0 Wednesilsy morning.
Kliss had frequently tnld hla family that
ha did not want flrearma of any kind
about the house. He said he alwaya had
feeling that a revolver or weapon of any
kind would get. him in trouble and that
ha might art up In , the night and Injure
himself or Tnembcrs of tbo family If a gun
Was kept In the house.
When .Kuss went to tho office of the
brick company Wednesday morning, the
eld fear he ' had ot firearms proved well
grounded. ' A "W-rallber revolver belonging
to the company waa kept In a desk drawer.
' Kuss had' occasion to open the drawer
Wednesday morning, saw the gun In Its
place, loaded with shells, ready to dis
charge the balls of toad and tear through
heart or brain-
Seemingly the temptation was too much
f-r him. H took ths gun from Its place,
walked to the .htg window overlooking tht
Missouri river and . hla 'pretty little home
but a few blocks distant. The cold steel
ef the weapon seemed to nerve him, and
he placed the barrel to his right temple,
of his. family for the destruction of his
lot through his brain and burning the scalp
with powder.
Kuaa was 66 years ot age and prosperous
for a laboring man. No other motive can
bfi assigned by police officers nor members
of hla family for the destruction of his
own Ufa than that he saw the gun in tha
drawer, ready for use, and the old fear
that he would destroy himself If he had a
gun around, seised him, the act being com
mitted almost before he realUcd what he
was doing.
"I cannot believe that he shot himself,".
said Mrs. John Koverlk. J 401 South Fifth
street, a daughter of Kuss. "He worked
faithfully every, day, being In the employ
of the' atreet car company for fourteen
years and for several years with tha brick
company. "My father owned his home and
had four children, myself and younger sls
.ter being grown. The family all worked.
Hi did not owe a cent In the world, and
' ; was happy when be- left home Wednesday
morning. He spent Tuesday evening with
his family and they all had a good time
J together. . I' know that' he never owned a
. gun. ' He 'Was afraid of the things, and If
. he shot himself he must have done It slm-
ply because the gun was there and he
;knew It would kill." . - i,
The body of Kuss was discovered , by
' George Putnam, an employ ot the com
'pany, who notified the police and coroner.
' : An Inquest will be held. '.

POLICE COURT FINES SMALL
Leaa for Last Two Weeks, Despite
Caralvwl, Than Any Similar
Period for Year.
Police Clerk J. J. Mahoney will file a
petition In voluntary bankruptcy within
tha next few days unless some of the
powers which . prey, being released from
the county Jail, start something and pay
a few dollars Into the police court out of
the great "fall-money" account.
For the two weeks Just past, which began
the day Ak-Sar-Ben opened, the receipts of
the dark in fines were $208.50, the smallest
of any two weeks in the year, and leas
than 25 per cent of the amount received
during carnival weeks of previous years.
The Ak-Sar-Ben carnival of 1907 Is now
a matter of history, but the record of the
police department in keeping, ' and the co
operation of the citizens of Omaha in as
sisting them, Is still a matter of com
ment. Thefts during the two weeks Just end
ing -rti amount to less- than $1,000. Pick
pockets secured less than 100. - Half a
dozen boys were arrested on the carnival
grounds during the len days, and the prop
erty found on their persons aggregated
something like the pecuniary interest on
W cents. - x
"Just a little firmness In dealing with an
American crowd , will keep order," said
Chief J. J. Donahue, 'after the record was
spread in front of him. "The Omaha peo
ple have co-operated In a good many ways:
They are not as careless with property dur
ing carnival weeks, and when the police
have told them to- keep off streets reserved
for the parade, they have obeyed. Not a
single teamster or driver waa arrested."
Omaha police had from fifty to sixty cor
ners to guard for every carnival parade,
and these were bandied by from twenty
to twenty-five officers. Details were made
out by captains of police, and when the
parades pasaed one corner, police officers
were sent to others, where they had to
report as soon as they arrived. No officer
failed to ring in from every corner where
he was to do duty, and no accidents oc
curred as a result of carelessness or disorder.

"Europe Is swarming with Americans and
travel from this side has never been as
great as it Is this year," declared H. H.
Baldige, who has Just returned from a
tour of Great Britain and the continent,
with Mrs. Baldrlge and their son Malcolm.
Mr. Baldrlge haa gained aeveral pounds in
weight aa a result of his vacation. and ap
pears to have enjoyed the trip Immensely.
They visited ' England, Scotland, France,
Germany, Swltserland and Holland. .
"I was moat impressed with the remark
ably good roads we found in France and
Germany," aald Mr. , Baldrlge. "Both of
these countrlea are traveraed by macadam
roads, absolutely smooth and of even sur
face. Their thoroughfares are immensely
superior to any system of roads in this
country.
"The only things I found ever there
which are superior to our own were the
roads, old eastles and pictures. The roads
we may hope to acquire' in time; the old
castles and the pictures are beyond our
reach.
"I was .much Impressed with the large
number of women and children we saw
working in the fields. Almost every field
we passed on our automobile and coaohlng
trips was 'being- worked by women and
children. Apparently the feminine part ot
the family doea most of the work in these
countries.
"London was the most businesslike and
substantial looking of any of the cities we
visited. It was also moat like an Amer
ican city. Edinburgh was the most inter
esting, because of its historlo associations,
Its cleanliness and the beauty with which
it la laid out. All through England and
the continent we found extreme respect for

How This Great Bargain Comes About
This is he day of big ambitions and big efforts especially in the magazine
world. The great periodicals are in friendly rivalry to please the public, and
they are actually racing with each other to secure new subscribers for thi
means increased advertising patronage and higher rates. The progressiva
COSMOPOLITAN MAGAZINE is just now a leader in tho race, and with good
reason, for back of its effort is a great literary and educational enterprise of
undoubted benefit to the whole Nation.
It all came about through the determination of tho COSMOPOLITAN to
add to its present list 60,000 desirable subscribers during the present year. It
was a tremendous undertaking, and the magazine knew it had to present to the
public something out of the ordinary, so It did not waste time on minor propo
sitions, but made a master-stroke by securing exclusive control for 1007 of the
entire output of The Century Co.'s
Matchless Library of Reference
But something more was necessary, THB CENTURY always had been held
at a very high figure. Rich people took it quickly; students went without
things to own it. 'Although thousands ot sets were purchased at, the hlgli
price, buying- the work was for many people a serious matter.
. THB COSMOPOLITAN therefore said:
"The price must be brought down away down and it can be done in this
way; First, by arranging at tho outset for the largest edition ever printed, thus
reducing the cost of individual sets while still maintaining THE CENTL'KV
CO.'H former high standard of mechanical excellence. Second, we will cut out
the big commissions heretofore paid to book agents selling THE CENTURY and
turn over the seta direct from the publishers to the public. These Important
economies will bring the price down to bed-rock. There will be no present
profit ! it for us. We'll be, content with the large number of new readers and
increased advertising patronage sure to follow."
THE COSMOPOLITAN kept its word, ad whereas THE CENTURY CO.'S
lowest figure for the complete set is $80 the price now is temporarily brought
down to only $38.60, including the COSMOPOLITAN for a full year; .and in
addition to this little price. concnlent terms are arranged aa follows:
The complete set Is delivered oa payment of
est ONE DOLLAR "C3
Only Two Dollars Monthly for the Balance; or, if you prefer, a
discount of 5 for cash.
What THE CENTURY Really Is
A Notables. - The Century Dictionary and Cy
Literary and r clopedia and Atlas represents
Educational '' many years of continuous labor
Undertaking and. an expenditure of more
. . than a million dollars before a v
single complete' set waa produced. The work was
begun in 1882 and Professor William D wight
.Whitney, Ph. D., LL. D., was chosen as editor-in-chief,
aa he was universtally recognized to be the
foremost living authority on words and word-history.
Under his direction each department of
learning was given over to the care of that spe
cialists whose knowledge of that special subject
beat entitled him to be chosen from the world' of
scholarship. The total number of contributors
who helped build The Century exceeded five hun
dred. No work ever published in this country
has such an array of scholars behind It.
The Century is so planned and
prepared as to answer quickly
the questions' and meet the
needs of every one. It was nec
essary, therefore, that it should be not only the
greatest dictionary and the best encyclopedia,
but also a library that should sum up all exist
ing knowledge in art, science, literature, history,
biography, geography, trade, etc., etc. . (
illustrations, uynonymms and more than 100,000
quotations. , '

All Branches
of Knowledge
In The Century it la not neces
sary to hunt through a long ar
ticle for some small point a
task is discouraging, especially
Every Item is quickly accessible
by Itself because alphabetically arranged. Let us
take the plays of Shakespeare. Other works
bury the plays themselves in a long article but In
Tho Century separate alphabetical entries are
made of all the plays and characters. You thus
find Othello, King Lear, Hamlet, etc., treated
separately, and also Desdemona, Cordelia and
Ophelia, as well as a long biographical article on
Shakespeare himself. This plan is carried out
in every department of knowledge, and is the
greatest of time savers. It 1b a real pleasure to
consult The Century because it is so easy to find
Just what you want. It is the one supremely
useful general reference work.
As an
Encyclopedia
The Century is by far the most
comprehensive In the language,
giving the latest results of
scholarly research in the origin, spelling, pro
nunciation and meaning of words, amplified by
As a
Dictionary
The Century contains more than
150.000 encvclonedlc articles
and covers the" ' ground more ,1
thoroughly than any other reference work, for In
addition to scientific knowledege it adds plain
every-day facts usually omitted, and which is
Just the information most sought for.
As an The Century is the latest' and
Atlas best published. The wonderful
ancient and modern maps, of
which there are 310 in all. are entirely new, and
no part of the whole world is neglected. The
alphabetical index contains about 200,000 geo
graphical entries, a number much larger than
any other atlas or gazeteer ever before published.
Tho Great In a word, The Century is the
Question' great "quention-answerer" the
Answerer . shortest path into the whole
realm of knowledge. It is the best of reference
works and by far the most useful to those so
fortunate as to own it. The ten volumes com

made in the ninth Inning. "I'll have to
telephone that down to the boys, although

they get for having partisan umpires. Why

"This talk of the American association
extending to four National and American
league cities Is becoming more persistent
evtry day. If it materialises It will help
