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. Smith of Omaha
this afternoon In a body. The patrolmen
will meet at the city jail at 1 p. m. and will
take the car In time to reach Omaha before
1 p. m;
The police force sent to the home of the
deceased officer a large shield and a star
of cut flowers for the bier. They also sent
a large bouquet to Detective Devereese at
the hospital.
More -and more details of the life which
the murderer led have been coming to light
ever since' the crime was committed. A
friend of Officer Todd of the South Omah
forca was In South Omaha yesterday and
said h knew that Curtain spent two
months or more last summer near Oretna.
This man went to the hospital. Identified
Curtain and talked with him.
Judgo Callanan of the South Omaha po
lice court remembers Curtain when he
worked for a time at the Cudahy packing
houao about nine or ten years ago.
Parlor Mnalcal Recital.
The parlor recital by Miss Elta Hunts-
berger and Mies Helen Sadllck was at
tended by about thirty-five appreciative
friends last evening. Miss Hunts berg-el's
contributions consisted of selections from
classical authors from Handel's "Messiah
"He Shall Feed Hie Flock;" the "Seed's
Bong." by Woodman; "Lens," by HUdach;
"Maytlme," by Cowdell; "Hush My Little
One," , by Bevignanl; "Sing to Me," by
Blm-hoff; concluding with two encores,
"If No One Ever Marries Me," by Lisa
Lehman, and "I Wonder If Ever the Rose
by Slater.
Her voice Is a pure, high range soprano.
Bhe is a graduate of Bellevue college and
one of Miss Fawcett's students, whom she
Is now assisting In Omaha.
Miss Helen Sadllek is also a graduate of
.J'jrtiWtie'lJkhe Tnsirumental "class."" She
plsyed all Mies Huntsberger's accompani
ments and contributed a nocturne and
waits from Chopin the "Ellncellea," by
Mosskowlskl; "La Regatta Venealana," by
Rossini-LixEt. She also gave one encore,
"Hark, Hark, the Lark." by Bhubert-Llsrt.
Tho selection by Rosslni-Llsst wss very
much appreciated, hut the difficult move
meht of I hat by Mosakowskl was perhaps
even more accurately Interpreted. The
young women developed a fine progression
In their program scheme so that the even
Ins ended In enthusiasm and many con
gratulations.

How to Test a Newspaper
Advertisement
Is it
Natural?
Test No. 1
Of a series of Ten tests
which an advertiser
should apply to every
advertisement before he
publishes it.
The complete set

John Lee Mahin

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.

ELONGATED LIFE WORTH CASH
Aida Fails to Expire Until After Mid
night and Constable Baffled.
SONGBIRDS MAKE A GETAWAY
Officers geek, to Serve Attachment to
Secure an Old Claim Against a
Failed Company, bat Do
Not Succeed.
Alda and Rhadanies hard at ths
Boyd last night. Their struggle was. In
fact, protracted and the death rattle rattled
long. There waa a reason.
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.
At five minutes past midnight Alda
passed to thst great bourne whence no
traveler returns and the curtain descended,
the doors were thrown open and the audi
ence, which hardly knew that there had
been a delay, passed out.
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.
At last account Alda and Rhadames, snd
likewise Pagllact, Faust, the bride of
Lammermoor snd all their aopurtenances
were on board a Northwestern train headed
for St. Paul. Ths train had been held to
accommodate the harassed, but uncaged
song birds.
