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.
Read carefully every word of this advertisement and
then decide that you are going to win one of the big
' prizes. J

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. Mrs. Metz was
called and with Mrs. Olga Splcke. 190;l The supervisor's office is now husy In

ron't forget the census."
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.
A large number of belated census
schedules are being received at the office
of Census Supervisor Charles L. Saunders
by mall from parties whom the enumer
ators were unable to see because of absence
from the city.
Many te Bee Slips.
A great many of the small census
memorandums clipped from The Bee are
alfeo being constantly received from per
sons who were missed by the enumerators.
These people will be visited by special
agents in order to secure complete sched
ules. It is incidentally learned that the popula
tion of Omaha will make a much better
show lug under tho regular census enumera
tors than is reported from the preliminary
canvass under the direction of the Com
mercial club.
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.

Mallory Morgan and Mrs. Mabel Morgan
have settled out of court tl.clr dlffiences
respecting the residence which the couple

theless continue his suit for 1S.000 dam-
lages against Thlllp K. Toung and Floia
his father and mother-in-law,
who he charges with having allenstfd the
affections of his wife.
Mrs. Bessie Fd wards did. not make use
of the proverbial rolling pin. according to
her huvhand's plea for divorce, but did
employ, he swears, a weapon of the kind
against which ordlnancta recently have
been aimed. Edwarde, whose first name Is
Jesse, asserts that Mrs. Kdwards "as
saulted him with a hatpin." The couple,
who have been living In South Omaha.
were married In Council lllufis last No
vember. 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. ,
