BERGMAN WOULD NOT SHY

The organ of democracy, in its edition
of last evening, said Mr.. Bergman was
being urged by business friends and anti

'Suppose this call comes, Mr.. Bergman,
what will you do?" was asked Mr.. Berry

"Do you expect the call to Gomez"
"Well I rather anticipate something of
the kind
But Mr.. Bergman disclaimed being an
aggressive candidate at this time.
The tip in the democratic organ is taken
as Mr.. Hitchcock's personal notice to
Dahlman and his cohorts that they may
expect a fight from him and his forces.
The mayor and his squad are looking for

ELKS ORGANIZE FOR FAIR
Prepare for Big Amusement Event
at the Auditorium In
ApriI.

Many Omaha merchants are manifest
ing great liberality in donating articles of
interest and value for bestowaI at the
Elks' fair in the manner best calculated
to conserve the main purpose OF the enter
tainment, which is the raising of the large
fund necessary for the furnishing of the
lodge hall in the remodeled E1ks building
and replacing furnishings that have been
in use for years.
In the purchase and remodeiing of the
building the Elks have undertaken a giant
stride toward Omaha's Improvement and
nave taxed their finances to the limit.
Thus it became necessary that an appeal
should be made to the public in the form
of the biggest strictly local amusement
enterprise ever undertaken In the city by
the Eks. Merchants will be invited to con-
tribute useful and valuable articles 70 be
given away during the ten days of the fair.
and those approached on the subject have
seemed TO realize the civic legitimacy Of
the appeal, for responses have been gem
eral and generous. Great reliance is placed
by the committee upon the assurances Of
enthusiastic assistance from the ladies Of
Omaha. They are rallying to the active
support of the promoters OF the fair with
a zeal that spells success for It.
A secretary will be installed at Eks'
headquarters this week who will give his
entire time to promoting every branch Of
the arrangements and directing the com
mittees I'm the conduct Of their work. He

SOCIAL SESSION OF THE inns

~ Mayor II Defeated.

IT believe this will be a big night to-
night sang a member Of the Dahlman
Democracy club as the meeting was called
to order AT the club rooms last night.
There was no especial business to be
transacted. but thai made no difference,
as the faithful are always ready for a meet,
so long as there is a plenitude of the
ttir gs which refresh and also make glad
the waiting heart of those who also serve
by also standing and waiting.
Mayor Jim made a speech, as he always
does when the elect gather togather, and
afterward the brethren were called on to
give their experience. Several responded.
Nick Dargarschenski mayor OF Shelly
and the village blacksmith. ne who has
the contract for shoeing the feet OF the
city horses, made a talk which was re-
ceived with especial eclat. He gave It as
his opinion. founded on long observation
and research. that Dahlman will be elected
this spring by an overwhelming majority
because the women are for him. Just why
the present mayor has such a pull with
the female vote is not explained, but the
speaker insisted that the men who refused
to vote for Dahlmau this spring would go
hungry for two weeks because their wives
would refuse to cook anything.
Other arguments were produced, although
mere were so weighty as this, and it was
the consensus of opinion that Dargar-
schenski carried off the oratorical palms
of the evening.
All the ward captains. lieutcnants, serg-
eants. corporals and rrivates were present
and many of them were given a chance to
voice in al open and tangible form the
inward and invisible faith which is theirs.
Among those who also spoke were Brothers
Tanning. Hayward, Rogers, Heafey. Fetter-
man. Mahoney, Anheuser, Butler, Reagan,
Patti, Lee Bridges and a few others of the

Chamber of Deputies Passes n Vote
ExDressiRR Want of Conf.
dence by o to d.

CONSTANTLNOPLE. Feb. H.-After a
sitting today the Chamber OF Deputies
passed a vote OF want OF confidence in the
grand vizier, Kiamil Pasha, by 1875 to 8.
The cha also directed the president to
communicate TO the sultan a resolution re-
questing him to appoint a prime minister
possessing the confidence of the house.
AS a consequence the grand vizier has
handed in his seals as an officer Of the
sultan. The van of confidence vote was
the result OF Kiamil Pasha's refusal to APP
pear before the chamber today and explain
the recent ministerial changes. In a COM
munication to the chamber announcing his
resignation the grand vizier stated that his
action was because of the persistent hos
ulity shown hin by the chamber. despite
his written explanations. His absence, he
said, and the responsibilities for the conse-
quence must rest with those who created
the present situation.
The scene in the m was unprece-
denied. The galleries were crowded, many
OF the foreign diplomats and several mem
bers Of the imperial family also being pres
ent. The session was marked by intense
excitement and during the course OF an
animated debate Deputy Ismail Haiku re-

How to Test a Newspaper
Advertisement

A merchant should make sure that his news
paper copy" is a perfect link in his chain of real
selling policy.
To determine upon the character of the ad-
~vertising in any particular newspaper, he should
give careful thought to the following questionss
What class of people read this paperP''
"How best can | exploit my goods to them?" "What
will they do when they read my advertising ?'
What must | do to cash in to the best advantage
on the impression l create in their mindsp"
A cut price sale is a consistent procedure for
one kind of a store but entirely inconsistent for
another.
The writer of these articles discovered this
fact in his first advertising efort-a mark down
sale in tomb stones.
On his regular fall trip a few weeks later, the
proprietor was astounded to learn that a number of
sales promised him had gone to his competitor, who
had deity construed the advertising into an an
nouncement that the advertiser was retiring from
business.
The story of the reasons" behind a stores
pollcy-fo for instance: why bargain sales are not
held = why high priced goods are handled exclu-
slvely-ottenp proves most profitable advertising
1t is wise for a merchant to impress upon
patrons that he has a definite policy and stick to-
Methods that bring success to one institution
are ridiculously inconsistent for another to use. To
exploit a bank in the extravagant superlatives of a
circus publicity man would be absurd, and disas-
trous for the advertiser.
On the other hand some merchants, in their
fear of appearing undisnihed or sensational, actually
say nothing in their announcements that is interesting.
Happy is the advertiser who early learns the
lesson "How to be consistent" and can consistently
embody the quality in his newspaper copy"

NEW YORK, Feb. 14-Vice President c.
s. Sims Of the Delaware & Hudson rail
road speaking at the annual dinner of the
Rensselaer, County society last night de-
clared 1t was now the general opinion
among railway managers that government
control of steam railroads was an abso-
Lutte necessity. This control, however, MI.
Sims explained, was not to apply to the
minor details of railroading. The charge
that the railroads of the country were
heavily overcapitalized was no longer
founded on fact, Mr.. Sims declared.
Whereas the railroads OF the old world,
he said. were capitalized at $1,000 a mile,
those Of the United States were capital
ICED at only $500 a mile.
