GREETINGS FROM OVER SEA
Kalghts of Ak-Sar-Bsm Receive Letter
From G. W. Wattles Dated
Moscow.
An unexpectedly large crowd was present
last night at the Den regardless of the
hest and the circus attractions adjacent,
to m-ltnees the initiation of one of the
largest classes of the season.
Secretary II. J. Penfold of the Hoard of
Oovemors read several announcements,
among which was a letter from O. W.
Wattles written from Moscow, Russia. In
which he sent his greetings to Ak-Bar-Ben
and wished for It every prosperity. He was
enjoying his globe-trotting trip Immensely
and having the best kind of a time.
Mr. Penfold also called special attention
to ths new Innovation of the Cinderella
ball t be given the evening of October S,
and asked the co-operation of all the
knights In the matter to make It one of
the great successes of the festival season.
Mrs. Clement Chase will hsve charge of
the arrangements and the children wlH be
drilled by Mr. Chambers. It was urged
that ths children of all the knights partici
pate, as at least 400 were needed for the
ball. The knights were asked to have their
children meet at Chambers' academy.
Twenty-fifth and Farnam streets, this
Afternoon at S o'clock for preliminary train
Ing. The wives and staters of the knights
sre asked te take the children to the scad
emy this afternoon, where further details
of the ball will be arranged with those
most Interested.
The additional announcement was made
that next Monday night will be "Lincoln
night." The Board of Governors has In
vited 'the Lincoln Commercial club to be
present, and ' ail knights were asked to
write to their customers and friends In
Lincoln urging them to come and thus
make "Lincoln night" one of the biggest
of ths year. William Kennedy, formerly of
Omaha but now of Lincoln, will act as
grand mufti that evening, and he is taking
a lively Interest In the matter and prom
ises a big crowd from Lincoln, which can
be largely augmented by further Invita
tions from Omaha people to their Lin
coln friends.
Grand Mufti Thomas announced that the
membership last night was 94S, aa against
7S2 a year ago last night. The announce
ment was received with the heartiest ap
plause. The speaker of the evening were C. A.
Searle, who told a good fishing story of
experiences that the grand mufti and he
enjoyed last week up on the ranch of
Harry O'Neill In Custer county. From fish
ing stories, all of which he vouched for as
absolutely true, he drifted Into an eloquent
dissertation on the possibilities of Nebraska
and the urgent need of carrying out the
idea and recommendation of the water
ways congress. He believed the transporta
tion ploblem would be settled by the re
opening of navigation on the Missouri,
which would mean a tremendous impulse to
the growth and . business . of Omaha and
the west generally.
He was followed by T. W. Blackburn In
a similar strain, advocating no let-up to
the Missouri river navigation agitation until
It wss sn accomplished fact. He urged that
the problem of commerce was the problem
of transportation and its solution rested
In the Inland waterways snd their utilisa
tion ss transportation mediums, thus re
lieving the railway congestion and cheap
ening the cost of transportation.

DEM0-F0? 0RGALN SHOOTS IN AIR
Makes Attack on Board When, as Ree
ords "hew, They Dla What
the Coanty Attorney
Advise.
Politicians around the city hall and court
house are wondering whether the local dem
ocratic organ Is preparing to oppose City
Attorney Burnsm snd County Attorney
English for re-election.
This simulation is based on the fact that
this orsan is making a vigorous attack,
apparently for political purposes, on the
action of the county board In allowing only
$1.50 a tay per man as the county's share
of the pay for clerks and Judges of the
sreclal election held last May. This action
of the county board. It Is pr'.vstely and
publicly known, wns taktn because Deputy
County Attorney Magney advised the board
to take It and at tho same time City At
torney Burnam was nreDarlnK the same ad
vice to bo transmitted to the city council
"Surely Hltchock knows this," remarked
a democratic officeholder, who has been
struck like others with the strange course
of the demo-pop organ. "He certainly
would not make such an attack without
having first consulted the facts and rec
ords. Apparently he Is aiming his shafts
at republican members of the board and
County Comptroller Solomon, but tho point
of his arrow Is blunted on the fact that ths
republicans ere not to blame In this case."
Letter tkat Prompted Action.
Here Is the letter from Mr. Magney that
led the board to take Its action:
OMAHA. Neb.. Mav In. 1908. Hon. E. G.
Solomon, County Comptroller, Ohiaha,
Neb Dear Sir: in response to your Inquiry
as to how much the county Is leaally re
quired to pay the Judges and clerks of the
special election, held May 5, will say, that
section 8, ohaplor xlia. of the compiled
statutes for lau7, contains the following
provision:
"At all special elections In any city (of
the metropolitan class) the Judges and
clerks of such elections shall each receive
for their entire service at such election
the sum of f3, the same 1o be paid by the
county and city submitting tne proposition
or propositions to be voted upon at such
election."
Inasmuch as the county of Douglas and
the city of Omaha Joined In this election,
and each Submitted a proposition, I am of
the opinion that the Judges and clerks
should each receive 3 for their services,
and that the county should pay one-half
and the city the other half. Very re
epectfully, GEORGE A. MAGNET,
Deputy County Attorney.
While Mr. Magney was thus advising the
county board City Attorney Burnam, also
a democratlo official, was writing the same
opinion for the city council. Both Magney
and Burnam agreed on the proposition that
Omaha Judges and clerks of election should
be allowed only $1.50 by the county and
similar amount by the city. Under the
law If the county board had allowed more
the members would have been legally re
sponsible to the county for the difference
and might have been required to pay it
out of their own pockets.
Mar Be Settled In Court.
The question whether the Judges are en
titled to more or not may be settled In
court by an appeal from the action of the
board, provided any of the Judges feels
that he should have been paid more.
Members of the county board who voted
to pay the bill of C. E. Herrtng, attorney
for County Comptroller Solomon in tho
litigation over -the legality of the office,
declare they did so because the proposi
tion made by Mr. Solomon was a good
one for the county to accept. Com in Is
sloners Ure snd Kennard declare they have
talked to attorneys and are satisfied that
Mr. Solomon would have a valid claim
against the county for the difference be
tween the salary he collected as county
commissioner during the three months the
caso was In court, and the amount which
would be due him as county comptroller.
As commissioner he received $150 a month
ana as comptroller was entitled to woo a
month, a difference of $150 a month, or $150.
His deputy would also be entitled to $200
more than he received, making a claim,
which the majority members of the board
consider valid, of fO&O. Mr. Solomon made
the proposition that If the county would
pay the expense of the litigation, together
with his attorney fees, he would waive
this claim. As the total bill amounted to
$329 as against $50, the majority members
of the board decided it was a good propo'
sltlon for the county to accept, and they
paid the bill.
SUPPOSED CASE OF SUICIDE
Hans Bern of Sioux City Disappears
and Coat Is Found on
Bridge.
With Indications rolntlng to h's suicide
by the Missouri river route, a man sup
posed to be Huns Bern of Sioux City dis
appeared about 10:30 o'clock last night
from the Douglas street bridge.
Pern was seen in the saloon at Tenth
and Douglas streets by L. A. Kern of 3611
Avenue D, Council Bluffs, and by R. C.
Kern, tre latttr's coua-n irom Grand Island.
The bartender sold a half-pint bottle of
whiskey to Bern, who had first asked the
price of a pint and had said upon learning
the price: "I guess a half-pint will do.
From the saloon Bern had gone onto the
bridge and was followed soon after by the
Kerns, who were going home to the Bluffs.
The three men met at the toll house,
where the Kerns stopped to talk to To 1
keeper Fellers for five or ten minutes. On
walking about 100 feet past the toll house
Bern's new black coat was found neatly
folded and lying between the two railings
on the north side of the bridge. His hat,
a new soft felt one bearing tho mark of
the Nebraska Clothing company, was en
top of the coat, which had the mark of
Nlcoll, the tailor, on the collar.
The initials "H. B." were cut In tho
Inner band of the hat, and In the pockets
of the coat a number of papers were found.
One was a receipt for dues paid to Lodge
77. Fraternal Order ef Eagles, at Sloux
City, from February 6 to August S, 1!08.
A receipt for $2 poll tax paid to Hans
Bern at Emerson, Dixon county, Nebraska,
was also found. A card of a woman of a
Ninth street resort and a program of the
Novelty theater of Denver were In other
pockets of the coat. The theater program
waa dated May S3 and on the back was an
almost unintelligible pencil scrswl which
read somewhat as follows: 'This Is all I
can do for you. See you later. Eagle 77,
Boo City." At the top of the card was
scratched "Hans from Emerson."
Bern Is thought to be a man about SO or
SS years old. The Kerns reDorte.1 th-ir
find to Tollkeeper Fellers, who notified
tha Omaha police of the supposed suicide.

FISH GO HIGH IN PRICES
Cost More to Catch Them and So They
Follow Beef on Vpnard
Tread.
When thero Is nothing but $8 cattle on
the market and hogs are bringing $7.00 to
$7.35, the fish In the northern and western
rivers seem to get the vibrations and go
to deep water where they are hard to
catch and the price goes up.
This is what has happened the last few
days. The result Is that fish are somewhat
higher than usual. "It costs more to pro
duce them," Is the reason given. "It takes
lots of money to buy boats and equipment
for deep fishing and K also takes experi
ence, but when the pickerel and trout are
pulled out of deep water the quality Is
finer. Just like corn ted beef in comparison
to the grass fed stock."
There Is an unusual demand for smoked
fish on the Omaha market. The demand
for these cured fish In the middle of sum
mer Is unusual and Omaha dealers say
that they have never had the demand be
fore at this time of the year. The smoked
fish selling generally begins about October,
but this year the dealers were selling the
smoked whlteflsh and smoked sturgeon on
the Fourth of July. The high price of
meats and the fact that fish Is becoming a
more popular hot weather food each year,
are given as reasons for the annual demand
for the smoked fish.
Michigan celery Is offered by the best
dealers. It being almost sixty days earlier
than usual, arriving last year In September.
The rainy weather which has been general
throughout the celery region, has enabled
the celery growers to produce a very fine
quality, which has reached the Omaha
market.

WOOL COMES IN REGULARLY
One-Tenth of Wyoming Clip Will Be
main in Storage Here.
THIS MEANS 3,500,000 TOTODS
Manacer King; gays He Is Well at
Isfled with the Character and
Volame of the Wool
Received.
About one-tenth of the wool clip of Wy
omlng will remain In storage In Omaha
this means 9.5OO.O0O pounds.
Wool has been coming to Omaha regit
larly and L. L. King, manager of the
Omaha Wool and Storsee company. Is au
thorlty for the statement that the wool Is
not all shipped by any means and over
1,600,000 pounds will yet como to the Omaha
market. Mr. King received hills of lading
for eight carloads of wool Tuesday. Ths
wool in this one consignment will weigh
over 200,nOO ponnds.
"Wo are well satisfied with the wool
we have been securing snd next year th
growers will understand the possibility of
storing In Omaha anil securing better
prices, when we will get all the wool we
ran handles" said Mr. King.
The fact that the Omaha Wool and Btor
ago company, together with the St. Paul
Wool Storage company, has forced the
price of wool up several cents, will mske
friends for the western storage companies
and the growers will forward their clips
next year.
Starting at the beginning of the ehesrlng
season with a tirm determination to make
off the growers what they lost last year,
ths Boston and other eastern buyers of
fered 12 to 13 cents for Wyoming and Mon
tana wools and said they would not be
compelled to pay higher.
But the prices being paid are all higher
than 14 cents snd tha lowest price paid
last week In Boston was IS cents. The
following are the lotest quotatolns on
wools: Territories, 15 to 19 rents; scoured,
40 to 62 cents; Texas, 17 to 19 cents; pulled

Henson for High Prices.
Some very good authorities among the
wool growers credit the higher prices being
paid for the wools to the movement to
store tho clips In Omaha and St. Paul.
Prices at present remain firm and no In
dications of a weakening are to be seen.
Much of the wool now being bought by
eastern brokers and buyers Is suld to be
secured as a precaution lest prices ad
vance. Buyers claim that It Is not needed
by manufacturers, but must be taken, as
the prices are apt to advance 2 or 3 cents
more.
Boston buyers are still paying 18 cents
for good wool In Montana end 16 and 17
cents for the ordinary. This Is still f and
S cents lower than the growers want to
take, but many are selling. It Is figured
that tho better clips will cost 65 cents
scoured. In South Dakota the Omaha
house has learned that buyers are paying
prices which will make the scoured
wool cost 65 cents for fine and 50 and 62
cents for the one-half blood.
The amount, of wool sent to the east Is
far short of what It was last year and this
leads the storage companies In the west
to believe that regardless of the fair prices
being offered they will still get a large
amount of wool. Telegraphic advices Mon
day to the Omaha Wool and Storage com
pany stated that M,749,0iO pounds of wool
had been received In Boston thus far In
the season. The receipts to the same date
last year were 137,358,000.
Dntrh Necks Again.
The simple little Dutch neck, or square
cut neck has become Immensely popular In
the mid-summer frock In spite of rumors
of the extremely high collars being worn
abroad. The low-cut neck Is one of the
prettiest ss well as one of the most com
fortable styles for young women and al
though the girl with the scrawny neck
shuns it the beauty experts say It Is one of
the best developers she could possibly
adopt: that she can afford It for a season
or so for the sake of Its result.

PROGRESSIVE EAR-TRAIMSQ
EXERCISES
BY MISS EFFA ELLIS,
These exercises are designed to cul
tivate the sense of "Inner-hearing,"
by teaching the student to observe
and to listen. Students gifted with a
a quick ear are trained to know and to
analise what they hear. Robert
Schumann says: "The most Important
thing is to cultivate ine sense of hear
ing and take pains early to disting
uish tones and keys by the ear. The
bell, the window pain or the cuckoo
Sf-k to find what tone they each give
out." These exercises If practised
regularly and systematically will en
able the student to hear the beauties
in music from a harmonic stand-point
and to analyse and hear the mistakes
as well as to see them. These ex
ercises are used In the Effa Ellis
Illustrated Music Courses No. I and
No. f. PRICE 12.00.
