800 PIANO GIVEN AWAY.
Miss Mary MikeseII of 100 scott ST.,
Council Bluffs, the Lucky Person.

Miss Mary MikeseII of 100 scott ST.,
Council Bluffs, the Lucky Person.
When the Schneider & Mueller Plano Co
adopted their one-price system, they in
troduced a unique plan OF advertising
which has brought them splendid results.
The idea was to give away a Steger piano
absolutely free. This scheme was con-
summated Thursday evening, when Miss
Mary Mlkesell was awarded the piano, the
winning number being 1899.
The conditions under which the instru-
ment was given away were as follows;
Any one who was not already the owner
OF plano was entitled to go to the store
and register his, or her name and address,
for which a number was received.
The company retained a duplicate Of each
number issued. No one who was con-
nected with the firm in any way was per-
mitted to register. Only one registration
was allowed TO a family. The method by
which the drawing was conducted was one
which could mot be otherwise than emil
nently fair.
Mr., Ernest James Of The Omaha Bee
had charge OF the drawing and was as
sisted by Mr.. II. b. Randall, 2O9 North
goth St, and Mr.. j. Edward Keys, lu4
Douglas st.
Miss Stella Barker, a lO-year-old girl
VINO came 10 the store with her father,
was chosen to select the numbers from a
box. which contained all the duplicate
numbers. The plan was TO make the thir-
teenth number drawn from the box the
lucky one.
There were four additional numbers
drawn. so that in case the person holding
the thirteenth number was not eligible, ac-
cOrding to the rules, the first Of the fol-
lowing four, II eligible, would be the win
ner. This precaption was taken In order
20 avoid another drawing
Regardless OF the fact that little Miss
Barker wore a blindfold. she succeeded
in drawing the duplicate OF her fathers
number on the fifteenth trial Mr.. II. n
Randall, who assisted in conducting the
drawing. had very narrow escape. as
before the plan was decided upon defn-
itely. IL was talked Of making the eleventh
number the lucky one. and Mr.. Randalrs
number was the eleventh number drawn.
There was positively no consideration re-
quired. This piano was awarded 10 the
lucky person absolutely free.

Judge Munser's Position,

Mr.. Worrall's lawyers have not made
much progress in the federal courts toward
getting their case remanded to the state
district court. 1t is reported that Judge
Munger OF the federal bench will refuse
to hear the case because he is a brother
in-law of Mr.. Fowler of the Schneider
Fowler Grain company, having married
Fowler's sister, and. in addition, is a
stakeholder in this company. which is one
of the defendants
So far as known the farmers don't know
yet whether they want.& criminal or civil
prosecution against the association. There
is some talk of demanding $SO0O00 damages
The state antitrust laws contain a clause
about grain dealers. Penalties for viola
tions of the law for officers, agents, etc,
of corporations involved are fines ranging
from 1000 to 5000 and Imprisonment in the
penitentiary from one to two years.
The Worrall fight has progressed far
enough to cause certain of Mr.. WorralPs
enemies to suggest that it may some day
furnish the basis for a political fight in
Nebraska. Mr. Worrall himself is an orig
inal Bryan democrat and his friend Brady
from Albion is an original populist, who
also has supported Mr.. Bryan in season and
out of season. While the Worrall people
persistently deny the allegation that poll
ties has anything to do with this AFFAIR
and for proof Of their contentious cite the
fact that both their attorneys, A. w. JEFF
ferris and F. s. Howell. are prominent re-
publicans, they have some critics who are
skeptical enough 10 adhere to the political
idea.

sible object is to protect the producer

these locals comprising elevator associa-
lions, each of which owns and operates an

ident of the association; l.. S. Deets, vice
president; James T. Brady, secretary, and

Dcs Moines, May 5.-Martin May,
convicted thirteen years ago for the
murder of HIS wife and sentenced to
life imprisonment, was pnrdoned by
Governor Cummins Thursday. His pris-
on cell opened as u surprise to him
this morning, and as he stepped forth
to liberty his daughter, who caused
his conviction and secured his release,
plead for forgiveness.
AT the time of the tragedy May was
living at Oelwein with his charming
wife aud daughter of 10 years. He was
jealous of his wife. She had been WIS.,
itinE relatives out of the city and on
her return she was met at the depot
by her husband. and daughter. These
two were the only ones present when
the husband drew a revolver and ac-
cusing his wife of being untrue to her
marriage VOWS shot and killed her.
The daughter believing in her mother,
arraigned herself against her father.
1t was her testimony which decided his
fate. Since his incarceration she has
grown to womanhood. and stories of
her mothers life have come to her.
SO that she has been convinced her
father did not act without provocation.
Brooding over his life imprisonment
has broken her health.
Finally she sought the assistance of
ex-Governor Larrabee and Warden
Hunter of the state penitentiary at An
amosa where May is confined. For
months she has been working with
Governor Crnmins for a parole.
