State WHV KVKKY HOMK SHOULD HAVE A SEGEHSTKOM PIAXO. OB. Other contest we have conducted have proven so successful that manufacturers whom we represent are very eager to co-operate with us in another one of these groat ad vertising projects and distribution cf prizes. It not only brings the name of the pianos promi nently before thousands and thousands of homes and makes glad the heart of every prize winner, but it opens the way for many homes to purchase a piano at one third to one-half Ibhs than the regular price. Some piano dealers decry our methods, and why? Because we have revolutionized the piano business, mak ing It possible for thousands of homes to own a good piano that otherwise could not afford one, and enabling us to sell a dozen pianos at a small profit on each, where the old method piano house sells one at a large profit. While some unscrupulous piano dealers misuse the contest plan of selling, we wish to say that we have put forth every effort to make this a straight-from-the-bhoulder business proposition and all "strings" and mis representation left out. We stake our reputation on tli fairness of this con test and intend to make good to the letter. It will be well to remember that every contestant failing to win one of the highest prizes also ha3 an op portunity to secure an award from the manufacturers, which Is payable through the Segerstrom Piano Mfg. Co. The fairness of our offer appeals to everyone from the fact that our instruments are priced at the lowest possible figure for which they can be sold, and the same low price to every buyer.

Good Dead In the bath at Iter home the body of Mrs. Ellen Kosman, wife of Henry Kos man, chief Inspector for the ITnlon Pacific, was found Tuesday afternoon by Mrs. Charles Metz. liar sister. Mrs. Koxman had not been seen since The day before and anxiety about her condition led to the In vestigation that ended when she was found dead. Hemorrhage from the lungs Is thought to have been the cause of death. Mrs. Kosman had lunched with a friend, Mrs. John C. Prexcl, SM6 Bouth Tenth street, at noon on Monday, and departed at 1 o'clock, saying that she was going to consult a physician. She was suffering from a severe cold on the lungs. She was not seen alive after that time. Mrs. Kosmnn wont to her home, 1741 South Tenth street; she died there in the bath tub probably about i o'clock Monday afternoon. There was no one else about the house. Mr. Kosman Is on his way home from a tour of Kurope. 'Mrs. Kosman had been in III health for several years." said Mrs. Charles Mctz. '"A physician was called at once and gave It as his opinion that death was caused by a hemorrhage." When Mrs. Kosman failed to appear about thn house on Tuesday, neighbors became worried. Kf forts to enter the house found sll doors locked.

Tliis is the plea of the census enumerator and also of the business Interests of this city, who want Omaha to make as good a showing as possible when the returns are all in. Many have been overlooked In the count and an effort Is now being made to round up ail these as fast as possible.

It is not probable that the official count will be given out before the middle of June. Brailey Nabs His Man From Out Jury Box Sheriff Arrests Charles 0. Hart on In ebriation Charge Just as He Qualfies on Panel. Charles O. Hart's service on a Jury In district court was rudely interrupted by Sheriff Brailey Tuesday morning. The sheriff walked Into court room No. 1 look ing for Mr. Hart, Just as Hubert Smith, clerk of court, was calling names of venire men for examination in the trial of the state against Henry Logan. "C. O. Hart" was the first name the clerk called out. Mr. Hart rose from his seat in tUe back part of the room and walking forward took a seat in tho Jury box. Sheriff Brailey retreated to collect his thoughts. He had In his possession a war rant for Mr. Hart on a charge of Inebriety sworn to by Leslie Hart. C. O. Hart passed successfully questions put to him by Deputy County Attorney Plattl and C. i. McDonald for the defense and might have been In the box yet If the warrant had not been conveyed to the attorneys and Judge Estelle. Mr. Hart was excused nt the noon hour and notified that the sheriff wanted to seo him in his office. The case on trial Is that of a colored man charged with "sticking up" a man named Stevan Scholie In South Omaha the lilght of April 11 on N street between Twenty-sixth and Twenty-seventh, South Omaha.

Charlee A. McDonald has filed suit for divorce from I.aura McDonald, to whom he was married in Boston in l'JOO. Deser tion la alleged. Now that Councilman Sheldon has been fappointed officlul censor of bathing cos tumes by the Omaha Rod and Uun club he feels that lie may soon be In a worse situation than he was wnen two thugs attempted to hold htm up. Many suggestions already have been made to the Sixth ward councilman as to just what style of bathing costume should be given official endorsement. Judge Berka, a colleague in the council, ' has a strong leaning toward .a comfortable modesty, shrouded In a baggy style of dress. "The water will reach the body, anyhow," says the judge, "and that Is what people go In bathing for, primarily. Let the suit be decked with f losuincbs or ribbon, if you will, but let it also be a complete cover for the shapeliness of outline that lies at the base of the censorship." The Fewer the Better. "But mermaids don't wear clothes," says Sheldon, "and J know from experience that the fewer clothes one has on the more Joy there is in the. water." Councilman Schrocder, being constructed on Apollo-like lines. Insists that bathing ought to be regarded just as any other heaJthy sport. "The human furm entirely unadorned is perhaps objectionable to everybody but artists and physicians," said the handsome Seventh ward leader. "However, it Is so easy to go to extremes that 1 base been advising .Sheldon to seek the happy medium, that will at once make the human form a pleasant sight to see and still allow free play for the limbs. Coiiventl jnal standards now permit a boy to have ever so much more freedom In the water than a girl, and there is a serious (jucMiuri if this Is altogether light." Flynn Kugaesls Muiokrd Ulaaars. Street Commissioner Flynn lias reconi mended that beach loiterers be compelled to wear heavily smoked glas&es. "And i would make that apply to women aa well as to men. fiuch gifts-sen have a dtceptiv- ness equalled only by that of the man who carries a pocketful of votes that he will deliver if you can seo him properly. I ad vocate the glasses in the light of the motto so dear to those n lie wear the garter and which JCngland has taken for her own like a good many other things. After all it is the viewpoint, not the clothes, and 1 know very few men who ever went to a bathing beach to see the suits worn there." It Is understood that Councilman Hncl- don la already in receipt of a good many suggestions from women who seem to have given consld. t able thought to the proper apparel fur water functions. "It is no longer de rtguer to hang your clothes on a limb of a tree." sayi Mr. Sheldon, "and Just how much should he hung on the human limb I am seriously trying to figure out." W. R. Renner, engineer for the Burling ton, lost his left leg when a string of freight cars was catapulted across the yards at Pacific Junction In making a flying switch, driving the engine under which he was working over his body. Mr. Renner bad drawn his engine on a siding and crawled underneath to make re pairs to a brake shoe. The box cars es caped from a switching crew in the yards and dashed Into the engine when released from the switching engine. Mr. Renner was brought to Omaha and hero his wife met the train, coming from their home in Plattamouth. Mrs. Renner displayed fortitude and assisted In caring for her husband on the way to the hos pital. Renner will have to undergo sn opera tion for the amputation of hla shattered leg. Other injuries which he received aro not believed to be Berlous. , WORKING!
