DELAYS ARE COSTLY
Folks and people, the way the market
on clothes looks to us at this time wait
ing Is as good as paying more. There's
no chance for any general lowering of
prices. Much as we would like to invite
you to a feast of extraordinary, etc., etc.
it can't be did, but as the market Is
we are doing some wonders. These boys'
rompers for the kiddies at 98c have a
wonderful lot of wear In them. These
men's all wool suits at $16.50, 118, $20 and
2,60 would be worth the money In 1914.
Hart Schaffner and Marks clothing, Mun
singer underwear, Black Cat and Inter
woven and Everwear hosiery, and a lot
of other things you can find at Flynn's
are always worth the money whether the
market Is up or down. John Flynn &
Co. Adv.

Grace Methodists
Clear Debtof$10,000
Church Building
on
' The debt of $10300 incurred by
trustees of the Grace Methodist
church five years ago, when con
struction of the new church at
Twenty-fourth and E streets was
begun, has been entirely paid up,
Rev. C. C. Wilson, pastor, an
nounced Sunday.
A special program, at which Rev.
Dr. J. W. Kirkpatrick, former pas
tor during the period the new
church was being built and now
district superintendent at Hold
rege, Neb., will deliver the principal
address, has been arranged for Sun
day morning. The mortgage will
be torn up as a part of the cere
mony. The Grace church, formerly the
First Methodist church of South
Omaha before the merger of the city
with Omaha, sold its original edi
fice to the local Aerie of Eagles in
1914. The auditorium was converted
into a lodge hall, which now stands
at Twenty-third and N streets.
Winnipeg Freight Yards
Badly Crippled by Strike
Winipeg, June 16. Freight yards
here were badly crippled whjen a
considerable number of firemen,
switchmen and enginemen joined the
general strike. Brotherhood and
railroad officials said their places
were rapidly being filled. Strike
leaders threatened the extension of
the railway walkout to western
points at midnight.
The back-to-work continued Mon
day but not in such large numbers
as last week.
No response was made by strikers
to the announcement of metal traces
employers offering collective bar
gaining plan for settling the dis
putes leading to the strike.
It was announced that the offer
of employers does not include recog
nition of the metal trades council in
collective bargaining issues.

Washington, June 16. A resolu
tion authorizing the president to

Lieutenant Brown, and expressing

feat in making a non-stop flight

ia, republican, of New York.
My Heart and
Adele Garrison's
Revelations
The Way Rita Brown "Led"
Them All.
AH, this is something nice liv
ing." Rita Brown sank into
the chair the waiter neid out
for her, put her elbows on the table,
her chin in her hands, and drew a
long ecstatic breath.
Mrs. Durkee, Leila Fairfax and I
looked at her in mild astonishment
at her exuberance. Alfred Durkee
and Dicky laughed aloud.
"Poor little ingenue from
Podunk," Dicky teased. "Was she
never in a cabaret before? Well, she
shall see everything that's going, so
she shall 1"
"That man walking this way is
called a waiter, Rita " Alfred Dur
kee took the cue with preternatur
ally solemn face. "If he asks you
what you want to eat just tell him
the opposite thing to what you
would really like. That is. the rule
here."
"See the space in the center with
the rope around it?" Dicky inter
rupted. "Some of the oldest female
inhabitants of New York will pres
ently give what they call a dance,
th noise of a rasoine key will be
the creaking of their poor old joinftl
as they attempt to keep time to tne
music which is what is known as
the jazz band. Can you remember
that, dear? You will want to tell
your friends in Podunk about it, and
you mustn't forget it. Perhaps you
had better try to spell it. Come
now repeat it after me, j-a-j-z "
Like Old Comrades
Miss Brown regarded him stonily.
"Are you practicing that patter,
hoping you'll get a try-out in vaude
ville?" she asked. "If so, take a sin
cere friend's advice, stick to the sign
painting. Dicky-bird as a humorist
you're an awful flivver."
She turned to Alfred Durkee with
a dazzling smile. Her. manner had
the effect of sweeping every one but
him out of the universe.
"I suppose I am an awful idiot,
Alf," she said deprecatingly, "but
I've been shut in an eternity, and
I'm like a wild thing let out of a
cage."
Alfred patted her shoulder reas
suringly, and I saw his mother
wince at the sight of the familiar
comradely touch.
"Go as far as you like," he said,
and there was indulgent tenderness
in his voice.
"No, sir-ee." Dickey's voice was
full of passionate protest. "I give
warning right now that I'm both a
quiet man and an economical
one-"
An Adroit Move.
An irrespressible burst of laugh
ter greeteed this, for Dicky's reck-'
lessness in spending is known to all j
his friends. i
"Well, I ami!' he retorted. "And
let me tell you, Alfred Durkee, that
you little know what you are bring
ing on us. iwo courts police and
bankruptcy stare us in the face.
Unsay them words."
"Shut up," Alfred Durkee retorted
"and let us order. Come, Rita
you're the invalid, what do you
want?'
"Oh, never mind the eats, yetl"
she said. "But I'm dying for a
drink. And I don't want any of
your ordinary cocktails, either. I
want something with a good kick in
"
Alfred Durkee looked at her
anxiously.
"Are you sure your physican
would want to you to have it?" he
asked.
"I'm my own physician," she
I retorted refiantly. "Go on, Alf,
GENERAL ERVVIN
STATIONED IN
CITY YEARS AGO
Leader of U. S. Troops on
Mexican "Border Was
Favorite of Local
' Social Set.
Brigadier General Erwin, in com
mand of the United States troops
that invaded Mexico and yesterday
drove Villa and his soldiers out of
Juarez, is well known in Omaha,
having been stationed here for a
considerable length of time.
Early in 1901 when General Mer
riam was in command of what was
then the Department of the Platte
and which had its headquarters in
Omaha. Erwin came here as a cap
tain. He was known in Omaha as
"Jimmy" Erwin. Within a short
time he became acting adjutant gen
eral and a few months later was pro
moted to the rank of inspector gen
eral. He was in the Philippine serv
ice and afterward returned to Oma
ha with the rank of lieutenant col
onel. In 1910 he was transferred to
San Francisco and in 1911 was made
colonel and assigned to the 9th cav
alry :.nd subsequently sent to the
Mexican border, where he has since
been a good deal of the time.
During his several years' residence
in Omaha, General Erwin was one
of the most popular army officers.
Most of the time he lived at the
Omaha club and was a general fav
orite there. He moved in the exclu
sive social set and was sought by
many mothers who had marriage
able daughters. However, he was
not caught in any of the local nets
that were set by Cupid, but instead,
during the latter years of his Omaha
residence he made a trip to Geor
gia and upon his return, brought
.with him a wife, a charming girl,
born and reared in his native state.
More Overseas Arrivals
New York, June 16. (Special.)
The following Omahans arrived
here recently from overseas:

Vacondi, 1004 Capitol avenue.
My Husband
New Phase of
of a Wife
don't be spoil sport. I'll order it
myself if you don't. He turned to
the rest of us.
"Would any of the rest of you
like a cocktail?" he asked.
His mother, Leila Fairfax and I
promptly declined. I caught little
Mrs. Durkee looking anxiously at
her son, knew that she mirrored
my own anxiety concerning Dicky's
course. Before the two men had
gone to France I had secretly been
a little uneasy concerning Dicky's
apparently increasing - fondness
for alcholic drinks, and knew with
out her telling me that Mrs. Dur
kee was even more anxious about
Alfred.
Dicky's answer was prompt, non
chalant. "I've got-the seat next to the
driver on the wagon," he asserted.
"Got to come to it anyway in a
few days, so I'm getting in prac
tice." "Well, for goodness sake!" Rita
Brown cried. "Is'nt anybody but
Alf going to drink to my returning
health?"
I could have shaken her for the
adroit manner in which she had
made it almost impossible for her
host to do anything but join her in
the drink. I was sure that she had
seen,, as I had, the hesitancy in
young Durkee's manner, sure also
that she was mentally gloating over
her success. And the look in his
mother's eyes as the two touched
glasses, made my heart ache.
