SAMSON ISSUES AN INVITATION
Every Reputable Business Man in
Omaha Can Join Ak-Sar-Ben.
DO NOT NEED TO BE ASKED
Kings Chamberlain FeHrs that Some
Think a Personal Request to
Join Necessary.

Every reputable business man In Omaha
is invited to become member OF Ak-Sar-
Ben," such is the invitation that has been
issued by Samson in the belief that there
are a number of business men. especially
the late-comers, who think that they have
to be asked by some one in authority be-
fore they can become knights.
"Ak-Sar- Ben has always been open,"
says Samson in explanation. However
there are some who do not seem to be
aware of the fact. A short time ago the
owner of one of the largest department
stores in Omaha was telling me of case
in point Conferring with number of his
department managers he found a few Of
them who were not members of Ak-Sar-
Ben. When asked the reason why they
were not, they replied that no one had
asked them and that they supposed that a
personal invitation was necessary"
Although the paid membership for this
year is already as high as 1,411, the addresso-
graph in Samson's office carries the names
of 1850 men in the city who were mem
bers last year. but whose names do not
appear in this years roll. The directory
also reveals many new business men,
agents and managers OF local btanches OF
out-of-town enterprises who are not
knlBntS.
The biggest group of candidates this sea-
son Is counted upon for next Monday night,
when the National and State Sheriffs as
sociations, the National Sheetmetal con-
tractors, the out-of-town participants in
the national clay court tennis tourna-
ment, and the trapshooters of the western
handicap meet win all be entertained at
the Den.
Several new features have been added
to Tho Gymkana" and the show, which
has already proven itself a winner, is bet
ter than ever.
The names OF fifty-three tennis players
from outside points have already been re-
ceived from those in charge Of the tourna-
ment, 1t is expected that there win be
at least 200 or 300 OF the sheriffs, as both
state and national conventions are assem-
bled here Monday.

Little Girls Franks
Annoying to Firemen
Sends In Two False Alarms, Causing
Long Runs, and in the End She
is Detected.

Sleuth work Of nigh order enabled the
city electrician, Waldemar Michaelsen. and
Fire Chief Salter Friday to locate the
sender of two false fire alarms which
caused extra work and danger 10 the fire
men and equipment. The two alarms were
sent in from a farm half a mile south of
McArdle's store on West Dodge street.
and from this remote country place a A.
year-old girl had called up 81 twice in
one day, and sent the firemen on fruit
less runs, once to Sixteenth and Howard
and once to 2SO2 Sherman avenue. The
calls were traced and when confronted by
the chief and Mr.. Michaelsen the little
girl confessed to her mischief.
The telephone operators have been
warned to guard against such practice and
It win be possible to trace back any call
that is sent in. The city and state both
have laws against misusing the telephone
and the penalties are heavy. The girl
promised not 10 repeat her offense and
was let off without prosecution.

duced to His Former Job as

Around the postoffice It has become
known that notwithstanding the supposed
pull" Of Postmaster Ben" Thomas. his
brother, VIII G. Thomas, has been put
back into the ranks in the railway mail
service from the soft job Of travelling chief
clerk. When Brother Ben" got the post
office he prevailed on Senators Burkett
and Brown to lend their aid for a promo
ton for Brother Will" who was then
running as a clerk on the Milwaukee, and
the position Of travelling chief clerk. with
handsome raise of salary. was awarded
him. Inspired by this success the Thomas
had been boosting for the appointment of
Brother WHIP to be superintendent OF

started out last Sunday as a clerk in a

TAFT MAY TRAVEL
TO PACIFIC COAST
President Probably Will Visit Cali
fornia and Mountain States if
Extends Fall Tour.
TENTATIVE ITINERARY MADE
Executive Expects to Spend Some
Time in Nebraska and south Da-
I<Ota After His Speech at
Hutchinson, Kan.

WASHINGTON. Aug. 5.-The most i'm
portant trip that President Taft has
planned since he has been in the White
House in the view of republican leaders, a
trip during which he is expected to open
the 1912 presidential campaign for his party,
will begin September l6. 1t will last at
least four, and should it later be decided
to extend the outing to the Pacific coast.
1t will be stretched into six weeks. so
that the president will not get back to
Beverly or Washington until November.
According to the plan so far drawn up
at the White House. the president will
visit most OF the states in the middle west,
north of and including Missouri, and will
make incursions into practically all of the
states which have progressive, congress
sional delegations. The president so far
has given almost no consideration to
speechmaking on this trip. but IL has long
been the idea of republican leaders that
he would make as many political addresses
as possible west of the Mississippi.
The president will open the Appalachian
exposition at Knoxville Tenn, September
IS. and speak at the Kansas State fair at
Hutchinson, Kan, September %. He will
speak at the National Grand Army of the
Republic encampment on August %.
Itinerary Includes Nebraska.
From Hutchinson. the president expects
to travel in Nebraska, South Dakota, Min
nesota and Wisconsin, where he may see
Pauline Wayne, the White House COW,
which is to be on exhibit at the Interna-
tional Dairymen's exposition at Milwau-
kee. From this point the party may turn
again into Kansas and Iowa.
II the trip is to end in four weeks, Mil
waukee probably will be the last stopping
place. If 1t should be extended the presi-
dent will journey to Denver, Colorado
Springs, Salt Lake and the coast, taking in
California, Oregon and Washington and re-
turning east over q northern route

CONCLUSION OF INQUEST
 IN THE NICHOLSON CASE
Negotiations for Sending Body of
 Young Man to Baltimore.

The inquest on Harry w. Nicholson who was found on Sunday morning in the rear of d Washington street building between Center and First streets was concluded yesterday and on the result of the post mortem con- ducted by pr. Wylie the night before a verdict was rendered that death had ensued from natural causes. The lungs of the young man were found to be in such a condition that the wonder was that he had lived so long. The mur der theory was wholly abandoned.
 On Sunday while it was yet thought that death was the result of foul play Manager Seybolt of the Arizona Casket company sent a telegram to 263l Francis street, Baltimore, an ad- dress found on document in the pos session of the young man. The tele- gram was turned over to an undertak- CT of Baltimore who replied to it ask ing about the cost of the preparation of the body and its shipment to Bal timore. A reply was sent but nothing further was heard from Baltimore.

TUCSON MAN IN A
 GLASS BY HIMSELF
He Has Actually Got the World by
 the Tail with Down Hill Pull.

In these days of progress and scien- tific investigation one never knows when he is going to be brought. face to face with the biggest thing yet It was supposed to be something of an achievement when Peary planted his foot on the north pole and exultingly howled Eureka" but a Tucson man seems to have unrarthed a bigger thing and done so with the most com mendable secrecy. He has possessed himself of the goods before anybody knew what he was looking for The information was unearthed in the dis play advertising columns of the Tue son Citizen. Here is the wording of the advertisement:
 THE GREATEST DISCOVERY IN
 THE HISTORY OF MANKIND
 After deep study in Heliocentric As trology and Civil Engineering, was able to find the. center of gravity be- tween the north pole and the south pole, and if there be any man who can prove this not to be so I'll give him all the money I've got.
 DEMETRIO AMADO.
 Now that MT. Amado has got the center of gravity grabbed and holds title to it in fee simple, curious people will wonder what he is going to do with it. He may be able to lease it to the Tucson chamber of commerce until that energetic body can pull the F.. P. & s. w. railroad over from Douglas and in the event of success Phoenix might buy a county right to keep the good thing going. If it is possible the statehood league might get hold of it and apply the juice to President Taft If the pulling power of the law of gravity can't bring statehood there will be little use for further effort and it is fortunate that the president is big enough for gravity to take hold of.
 How the Citizen reporters over looked this big story in the advertis- ing columns and has permitted The Republican to scoop them. is strange and no effort will be made to explain

UNDERTAKING ROOMS
 OF MOORE AND M'LELLAN
The Most Modern Appointments Have
 Been Introduced.

The new undertaking pariors of
 Moore & Mcclellan fronting on Adams
 street between Third and Fourth ave-
 nues is an establishment so nearly
 perfect in its appointments that it is worthy of a somewhat detailed des-
 cription. Indeed if it lacks anything in point of convenience it is because the owners were unable to conceive it and have not yet discovered their short -sightedness. The building is 25x95 feet in size, and most of it is two stories high. The construction is of brick and the interior is of cement floors wherever they were thought desirable, with stained wood finish ings in mission style. The warehouse in the rear. morgue, workroOms. etc. not only have floors but walls of cement that may be kept in a thor oughly sanitary condition. There are three entrances from the front; one on the west side opening into d stair way to the second floor where the family of Mir MsLellan resides; one on the east side opening into a long hall that runs the length of the build ing and which is especially designed as a passageway for clergymen, off, cials. choir, bereaved friends. etc, on the occasion of funeral. They may pass through that corridor to the end of the chapel and go- ing through a side door are in an a apartment partially separated by an archway and curtains from the chapel proper This assures the greatest of privacy possible at a public funeral. The chapel is so arranged that it sis well within doors. undis- turbed by outward noises through any entrance except the front. which IS narrow. By the arranging of screens its size may be reduced to a small apartment, or enlarged for the seat ing of 150 people. as an ample number of folding chairs are kept in the store room The furniture of course includes table settees and all those things suggested by good taste.

WAsH|NGTOKs BIRTHDAY
 AT THE OSBORN SCHOOL
Preparation by the Pupils for its Gel
 ebration.

Washington's birthday next We'd nesday is not going unobserved in this community. The Osborn school has been looking after that and it has prepared with its characteristic energy for such an observance of the day as has never taken place in this part of the country.
 The pupils of the school who are all ways foremost in such matters have prepared an excellent program which will begin at 10 o'clock on the morn ing of February 22. It will be inter rupted at noon by a sumptious picnic for the children. the patrons of the school and invited guests.
 This arrangement is not to be taken as a sign of eXclusiveness but it is manifestly impossible to prepare in so short a time a spread for every body who would likely attend if there were no restrictions.
 After noon the assemblage will be addressed by Hon. George U. Young. secretary of the territory. and Presi- dent A. J. Matthews of the Tempe normal school. After that the pro gram of the pupils will be completed.

JUST LIKE A KNIFE THRUST

The sharp twinge of pain in the small of the back that strikes you after any sudden twist or awkward movement, tells of weak. sick. in famed kidneys.
 Men, women and children have bad backs when the kidneys are sick. Es- pecially do older folks suffer with bad kidneys, for the kidneys are the hard est-worked ograns of the body, and an active life often wears them out before there are any other signs of advancing age.
 Learn the early warnings of sick kidneys and then it will be easy to take any trouble in the beginning, and with Doan's Kidney Pills. to make a quick and lasting cure.
 The common early signs of weak ened kidneys are backache, lame back. rheumatic pains, neuralgia, sharp pains when stopping or lift- ing, nervousness, irritability, failing eyesight. sallow, drawn features. dark circles around the eyes, dizzy spells, tired-out state, despondency.
 And there are usually disturbances of the urine-too frequent passages, scanty passages. with scalding or burning pain, dark-colored, heavy

 Immediately in ;he rear of the chapel is an apartment called the

 On the second floor. reached by a stairway from midway in the lower hall, are three stock or show rooms. one containing the cheaper collins and caskets. another a line of medium grade goods and the third devoted to the very best that can be obtained in the general trade. Even the second grade goods are about as attractive as the best. the chief difference being in the construction materials For instance the mahogany and carved oak caskets. together with the. steel Things, though more expensive. to most persons look no more expensive than those of cheaper construction but  these rooms are displayed over fifty different styles of caskets that cover pretty nearly the whole range of manufacture.

AND AMERI-
 CAN TRUST TACTICS

One phase of British industrial combination particularly impresses the American observer-the working agreements between naturally com peting firms, which bring them into d loose but effective alliance. In America, since the passage of the sherman antitrust act. such agree ments and alliances have been con demned by the courts and denounced by the laws more bitterly than has the ordinary single combination form of trust. It was by breaking up a similar alliance in the Addyston pipe case that Judge Taft, while on the federal bench, paved the way for the great trust-smashing suits that have followed. In Great Britain, however, this form of combination seems es- pecially favored. A great English
