yesterday morning, and we were asked if we had something
that was pretty good at the price we mentioned in the daily
papers. Our reply brought this response: '.'We'll be right
up." "Say, Mister," he exclaimed a little later, after he
had slipped into one of our big, long, graceful great coats,
with military collar, "There's some class to a coat like this.
That is certainly a swell shoulder and the fit of that' collar is
about the best I ever saw. I've had coats before, ready and
custom made, but never any thing equal to this one. Does
all your clothes fit that wayt If it does, it's a wonder to
me you don't sell all the clothing in Omaha for every other
place I have bought a suit or overcoat they have practically
made it all over, and then it was wrong. As long as you
have the garments that fit and look like these, it's me and
my friends for you."
In any garments we have $10.00 or up to $35.00 we
guarantee entire satisfaction.
Holiday fancies for the men and boys have prominence

OMAHA IS CP, SAYS COSGROVE
-s y .V - ' -
to Well Up in Accounting as Any City
Ho Visited.
THINKS HIS TRIP PROFITABLE
Brlmsa Inforiuatloa He Believes Will
B Useful to Comptroller la Sub
. salttlagr Plan to the City
Coaaell.
Deputy City Comptroller Cosgrove has re
turned from his trip of Investigation Into
municipal accounting of American cities.
Mr. Cosgrove has been In a doien states and
has met and conferred with the principal
accounting officers of about forty different
cities. II has gathered a mass of Informa
tion and a stack of blanks that he says
will prove of great value to the city offi
cials of Omaha In framing up the new
forms for the occupation tax collections
and bookkeeping.
"Omaha la really as far ahead as any city
In Its essential accounting," said Mr. Cos
grove. "By that I mean our checks on the
cash box are as effective and accurate as
any I have seen. There are some methods
Of distribution, however, that are admlra
tie. For Instance, here we have four funds
-general, sinking, school and water board.
In many cities they have a much more ex
tended system of municipal division of
funds, by number or letter Index, and some
divide their moneys differently from our
plan. Thus, under the head ot public
safety, will be all the moneys for the fire
and police departments, and other divisions
1 are made along lines that suggest them
stives as sensible and feasible.
I believe, with the Information at hand
now, that Comptroller Lobeck ana myseu
will soon be- able to submit a plan or sug
gestion that will commend Itself to the
mayor and council. Perhaps we can do
this within ten days or two weeks.
That my trip waa worth while will be
Indicated by the fact that, on meeting the
tax commissioners of New York state at
Albany, I wao able to give them some In
formation they considered valuable, be
cause I was fresh from an Investigation In
several cities that are now dealing directly
with problems tlxat were puzzling the
New York officials.
'In Che matter of cost to Omaha, for
the Information gained, this city will fall
very much short of what similar work has
cost other cities. We get for a few hundred
dollars, through the uniform courtesy and
helpfulness of a large number of well
posted city . officials whom were Inter
viewed, what It coat Baltimore, for In
stance, 150.000 or more. Mayor Mahood
told me they paid experts $40,000 for a gen
eral outline of a system that would prevent
mishandling of city funds. To bring that
system down to details and make it work
able, another $10,000; and he expects It will
cost S10.000 to 115.000 more before they have
the plans all put In operation."

Asialsist Retora of the
Head Jilt".
The resignation of E. R. 8eannooi.
druggist at the County hospital, has been
mailed to the Board of County Commis
sioners. Mr. Season good's action, which Is not
voluntary. Is the newest development In
the situation at the hospital. This ends
for the time being at least the severance
of employes of the hospital fom their
positions. It Is regarded possible that the
Investigation, which begins Monday after
noon, may develop facts which will lead
to the chopping off of other official hoadi
The whole conduct of the Institution
since O. Fred Elsasser became superinten
dent Is likely to come up for review be-fore-'the
Investigation Is ended and Mr.
Elsasser msy be afforded a chance to
demonstrate how well or how 111 he has
served In the position.
One matter which will certainly come up
before the commissioners Is that of a pro
test against Miss Lena Hlgglns' return to
the hospital recently. Miss Hlgglns, fol
lowing her discovery at the hospital, 'fell
111 and was absent from the hospital for
several weeks.
Protest Against Her Return.
When she was about to return the other
day the unpleasant news was communica
ted to 'Her that a protest had been slgnod
by a number of nurses of the hospital
against her return to the place as head
nurse.
Miss Hlgglns believes that this petition
was not spontaneous In Its origin, that the
nurses would never have signed it unless
urged by some one, and she has a good
working idea of Just who this some one
is. Mrs. Elsasser, wife of the superlnten
dent. Is blamed by Miss Hlgglns' friends
for the circulation of the petition.
If they have the proof of this, It has not
been produced. The matter will at nil
vents be thoroughly sifted at the coming
inquisition.
The protest against . Mips Hlgglns return
Is now in the hands of the chairman of
the committee on the county hospital, Jeff
W. Bedford.
The Board of County Commissioners met
as usual Saturday morning, but the hospl
tal matter did not corns before It In any
shape. All business was of a routine na

You can't imagine a worse predicament to
be in. Here we were nearing the last month of
the year. Hopes raised high because of the fav
orable outlook for this which was to be our
greatest contest. Then all those hopes dashed
to pieces by the stop order of the Post Office
Department. -
But ther is no such word as glre-up'in
our vocabulary.' We determined to face the sit
uation. To make the best of it. Even though
our estimated profits for the year 1909 were
sadly reduced.
Our first notice to music lovers was on last
Tuesday. We stated the facts," ,Told intending
piano buyers how our salesroooms were loaded
from basement to roof with pianos. We adopted
extreme mensures. Named prices that proved
irresistible. That met with a quick response.
If we .had only the stock which was in our
salesrooms at that time to reduce, we would now
be on easy street. But seven carloads of pianos
ordered for the contest, which orders we en
deavored to cancel, were hurried forward to
Omaha.
Four More Carloads to Be
Sacrificed
Four of these carloads are here. We are
still facing a crisis In our business. We haven't
room for all those pianos notwithstanding the
heavy sales of the past four days. It is either
sacrifice these pianos as we have sacrificed our
other instruments or else pay heavy, storage
charges to the transportation companies. We
are not going to pay the railroad companies one
cent more than we are obliged to. When here is
