AFFAIRS AT SOUTH OMAHA Commiition Men Keep an Eye on the Wool Men'i Convention. 2EJ0ICZ AT OMAHA'S VICTOBY Pollooasoa front Tals City to Attend tWo Paaeral of Offlcrr Smith . la Omaaa This After- Mli Ths South Omaha commission mn and the management of the Union stock yard havs been watching with much Interest the reports of ths session of the Western Wool Growers' association at Pocatello, Idaho. The report that Omaha men who are at tending In .the Interest of the local wool warehouses were putting; up so stronr a fight for 'the support of the Western Wool Growers' association and finally won brought forth many words of approbation from the commission men. South Omaha is ably represented, ss has been the case In all the Western conventions of the last three or four years. While the dealers In live sheep ire not so vitally Interested in the wool product, yet It Is recognized as a great factor. ' If the proper warehouses were established In Omaha much of the wool now shipped on the -hide to Chicago would be plucked In South Omaha. This from a year's re ceipts of over 2,000,000 sheep would be an Item worth while. Then the fact that Omaha bad its wool storing facilities would cause a greater number of ranchmen to Investigate tho Sbuth Omaha sheep market, which Is, easily second In the world In the sUe of 'the receipts. It Is said to be the best market in the world for feeder sheep. Police to Attend Smith Funeral. The Bouth Omaha police force will attend the funeral Of Officer L. A.

Test No. 1 Of a series of Ten tests which an advertiser should apply to every advertisement before he publishes it. The complete set mailed upon addressing John Lee Mahin 12 S Monroe St. Chicago Newspaper space is a vehicle by which an ad vertisers ideas are distributed to the readers. That the identity of the sender may be immedi ately recognized, his message must be a natural expression of himself, and reflect his personality. So.much advertising fails because the adver tiser clothes his ideas in wording that is not at all consistent with his nature. His best friends do not recognize him in his advertising garb, while those who do npt know him feel instinctively that he is masquerading. The secret of a perfect photographic likeness is not in an expensive camera, in the up-to-date equip ment of a gallery, nor yet in the effective use of light. It is the ability of the artist himself to com mand unconsciously the confidence of the sitter and to accurately gauge his real character. By it he overcomes the feeling of strangeness, the lack of poise in his subject, and catches him in a natural attitude. He can then transmit to a piece of paper a likeness of the man as he really is. The best "copy" for a newspaper advertise ment is simply the natural, sincere, talk that a mer chant uses in making a sale over his counter. A copy writer must be able to impersonate the advertiser's personality and so express ideas in print that they are instantly recognized as a sincere message from the head of the business. If he can make the reader feel in his "copy" that intangible something that pervades every suc cessful commercial organization he can be trusted with the work. If not, the head of the business had better prepare his own copy. In a word, before sending a message to the people, through the columns of the newspaper, see if tne thought and the wording ring true as the natural expression of the advertiser.

James H. 8hunk, a former employe of the Italian Grand Opera company, Bome time Since defunct and considerably ex tinct, has a claim of )3o0 against the said Italian Grand Opera company, which is not one and the same as the Abrameon Opera company not by a good deal. Ivan Abrameon was an employe of the Italian grand. After thst had died a lamented death he organised the company which has been delighting music lovers the last three nights. Bhunk consulted with Judge Baker, his brother-in-law, and decided to attach the scenery of the company lost night and this Is the reason Alda and Rhadamcs fought so desperately for life. If they lived until the witching hour of 12, mid night, it was Sunday, and, according to Blackstone, Hoyle and Spalding's guide, attachments will not attach on the first day of the week. The consequence was that while three constables. Judge Baker and Attorney A. V. Bhotwell waited outside closed doors, the stage hands had the time of their lives, for the scenery was not changed during the entra'actes at a madly rapid pace. Just two minutes before midnight, Con stable H. D. Plerson, who had thought fully acquired a return check from some one, offered It to the doorkeeper and at tempted to edge In. Treasurer Parnell ob structed Plerson's advance quite success fully and the last desperate effort of the enemy was foiled. Sanday a Relief.

Ths scone then shifted to the Seventeenth street side of the theater. Out a door loca ted here ths scenery Is passed to ths trans fer wagons and here Plerson appeared ac companied by Bhotwell. Plerson, Harry Sharp, manager of the Omaha Transfer company, snd Isldor Ziegler, attorney for the Boyd, then had a three-cornered de bate. Ziegler gave Plerson a solemn warn ing that It being Sunday he would attach the baggage at his peril. Bhotwell urged Plerson on. Bhsrp wished to know where he stood. Finally the scenery ond trunks were all loaded and F1eron declared that he had attached the property of the Abramson company and that Sharp, as custodian, must not remove It. Sharp drove away. At least his teamsters did.
