Montgomery Flagg on "Why Thoy Parted" Jn the current Amer
ican? They are about as pointed satires on divorce In high society
as you could find. Here are a lew of them, the rhymes, not the
pictures:

Eleven Deaths in
This City Directly
Caused by the Heat
Eleven persons dlec in cm ah a in June,
July and August from causes directly dm
to Intense heat and at least twelve othet
deaths were Indirectly due to the hot
weather, while the prostrations were sc
numerous that no records were kept oi
them.
Seven of the eleven deaths occurred In
July and two In June. Two have died
this month.
The summer now .drawing to a ilose
has been more deadly than for matt)
years. Health Commissioner U. W. Con
nell kept down contagions by enforcing
health regulations to the letter, but the
heat has increased the Infant death rate
greatly.
Heat prostrations occurred In alt parts
of the city, but the sudden deaths were
In tho downtown business section, ac
cording to the records. Young, middle
aged and 'old were, apparently, equally
susoeptlblo to the heat.
Dr, Connell believes the fatalities would
have been tnoro numerous had not the
citizens shown extreme caution. Constant
warnings and advice forestalled carelessness.
Louie Hertsberg, 11 years of ago, 3431
Seward street, was drowned yesterday at
Lake Manawa, When he lost the water
wings with which he had been swimming.
Hertsberg was employed at the bath
houso for the lest two months and Is the
son of Mr, and Mrs. M. Hertzberg. While
bft duty he swam out off of the dock,
where the water la something over ten
feet doep. Several swirmntrs noticed him
floundering' In the water with the wings
alongside of him, but presumed he could
take care of himself and did not go to
his rescue until he had gone down tho
last tlnte. .
His body was brought up by divers and
was taken In charge by Coroner Cutler,

Omaha Bankers to
Get Million from

That 11,000,000 will bo apportioned to
Omaha and 1300,000 to Lincoln out of tho
11,800,000 that has been set aside for Ne

ion of F. H Davis, vice president of the
First National bank. Mr. Davis was
chairman of the committee of oankirs
from Omaha that attended the i confer

which distribution of thq money which
Secretary of tho Treasury McAdoo pr-.
posed to loan western banks wim dis

"They will probably apportion money
between the two towns at Washington,"

Omaha will get the million, as the Lin

wants known.
The banks that want money out of
theso funds will make tholr wants known.
Not all of the banks expect to usl: fur
loans out of these funds. That will be a
matter to be settled later after It Is defi
nitely announced what part Is to ccmp
to Omaha and what will go to Lincoln.
FIRE
SALE
It seems that half the people of Omaha knew
of our big fire of a week ago Sunday night
and it required only a brief announcement of
our proposed big fire sale to bring a crowd.
SUCH A RUSH! Since Monday we have been
absolutely unable to take care of the crowds as
we would like and we have been compelled to
increase our force of salespeople. It is a $40,
000 stoek and consists of
FURNITURE
for every room in the house, furniture of every
description, also Iron and Brass Beds, Stoves,
Refrigerators, Go-Carts, Carpets, Rugs, Drap

the stock is only slightly injured by smoke or
small water stains but
The Insurance Companies Stood the Loss
and we are now sweeping out the goods at whatever price they will bring.
Our new fall stocks are now in transit and we must clear out every arti
cle that was in any way affected by the fire and get our store in shape for
the receipt of the goods in transit.
Greatest Sale of the Kind On Record
We are told by some of the oldest residents of the city that this is the
greatest sale of the kind ever held in Omaha. You have never known of
such a sacrifice of homef urnlshings before. It stands pre-eminent today
among all the big sacrifice sales ever held in this city.
Because of the greatly reduced prices at which these good's are being
sold, all sales must be final and we cannot make any exchanges or refunds

Five Policemen
Needed to Hold
One Suffragist
Miss Mary Sullivan of Omaha, who
has been spending the summer In England
and on the continent, during a recent1'
suffragette demonstration In London was
astounded to see five huge policemen
firmly holding one slender woman after
having succeeded In arresting her. Miss
Sullivan, In a lotter to D, Clem Deaver
and wife of this city, tells of her aston
ishment at the English way ot treating
the militant women. Her letter says In
part:
I was able to scramble to the fop of
a nearby omnibus and from this excel
lent-vantage point I saw a woman, not
very large, apparently in the hands ot
(lve big policemen one held each ot her
legs, one each Arm and the fifth had his
hands somewhere in the ruffled clothes
about her head. She still struggled a
bit though apparently quite exhausted.
and tho five gallant captors were flanked
solidly by some sixty assistants.
'To an American who bad never seen
a sight like that before it was a horrible
spectacle. There were women on the bor
ders of the crowd lunging recklessly with
apparent intention to rescue the captive.
Vet three years ago the English news
papers advertised an American foot ball
game, which was to take place between
picked teams from two American war
ships then in the Thames, as The Great
American Game a Field of Slaughter.' "
