necessity of having a National Guard

Sixth regiments had left the state.

cruiting of two companies for the
Omaha battalion of the "Lucky Sev
enth" already and he is confident

uary 31. 1899, and have four sons and
one daughter.

an ungovernable temper and "nags
her constantly."
She alleges he' said to her Decem
ber 30, 1916: "you're -the damndest
woman t ever saw." and then oro
ceeded to throw her out of the house.
The presence of their 13-year-old
daughter, Mary, whom Mrs. Philips
says interfered, is attributed by the
wife to be, the only thing that saved
her ejection from their domicile.
The daughter Mrs. Philips alleges,
lived away from home "because of
her father's cruelty to her (his wife)."
She further alleges he drove their
sons from home.
Mrs. Philips declares he earns a
large salary and says that through

lated property worth $17,000 during

,WaiH SIX!
PERFECTED VALVE-IN-HEAD MOTOR
.... . -f , , . i
Two important facts have been
registered since the introduction
of the Nash Six.
First the buying public did ex
pect Nash Motors to produce a
remarkable car.
Second they have found in the
Nash Six a car that fully realized
their expectations.
Probably no other car irt the his
tory of the industry has received
a more remarkable welcome.
The one feature that seems to
make the biggest impression on
everyone is the Nash perfected
valve-in-head motor.

DEN SHOW CLOSES
WITH MONDAY NIGHT
Actors Preparing to Outdo
Themselves at the Final
Performance at the
Old Castle.
Monday night's performance at
Ak-Sar-Ben Den will close the ini
tiations and amateur performance for
this season. The 150 delegates to the
national convention of building own
ers and managers will be here as the
special guests of the Den for the
evening.. Other out-of-town guests
will be there, too, and all Omahans,
members of Ak-Sar-Ben, who have
friends in the city that night will
take them out for this final perform
ance, for it is well known that the
actors simply outdo themselves on
this final night to produce a great
show and to make the initiation es
pecially strong and fetching.
Omaha people, too, are talking
much of taking in this last night of
the season, for there is always a bar
rel Of fun and a lot Of spontaneous
revelry not actually scheduled on the
regulation program.
To Hush the Floats.
No sooner will the last show be
over than the crew of workmen u
the Den will begirt to clear the house
for the completion of the float-building
for the big parades of the fall fes
tivities and at the same time another
force will begin rearranging the
stately hall at the Den for the big
coronation ball.
The Den will be ringing with the
.clash of tools from now until the lat
ter part of September, for there is
a world of work to he done to get
everything into shape for the fall
festival ot big parades and the coro
nation ball.
Military Ball.
The coronation ball this year is to
be a military ball. Reproduction o
ancient court scenes will be elimi-
n "Mil
II Mmmmwr
nated, dropped, bounced from the list
this year and military order is to
take its place.
Americans are "making the world
safe for democracy' now and Omaha
is playing its part in this great strug
gle. So the things that smack of
autocracy in the ball will be elimi
nated as far as this is possible in a
spectacle in which the coronation of
a mock king is the chief feature.
Sutton Charges Against
Unger Are Dismissed
The city council discussed charges
filed by Taut B. Sutton against Pa
trolman John Unger, Corporation
Counsel Lambert advising that the
chargea were 'not sufficiently specific
to stand the acid test of law.
Mr. Sutton announced he would file
new charges of a specific nature.
This case grew out of the recent
Maloney-Sutton investigation by city
council. Unger testified in connection
with his visit to the Melson house
with Sutton and was one of the chief
witnesses against Sutton.
Newsle Sent to Kearney -For
Slapping a Woman
Tony Oddo, 14-yctr-old aewsboy
and street urchin, accused by Proba
tion Officer Miller of having slapped
a woman in the face because she
would not buy k flower from him, was
sentenced to the State Industrial
school at Kearney by Judge Sears,
sitting in juvenile court.
"My boy, lectured Judge Sears,
"the evidence shows you are what
some people would call a 'bad egg.'
You're a 'moocher,' a disgrace to your
family and a menace to the other boys
who sell papers. A term in Kearney
will teach you you can't slap people
because thev won't patronise yon'
