said Deputy Attorney Abbott yester-
day in discussing the outcome of the
suit filed against Election Commits
sioner Moorhead by Coroner Crosby
OF Douglas county demanding that
his name be placed on the ballot at
the fall election. Attorney Abbott
appeared before the supreme court in
defense OF the law. The decision of
the court will be handed down during
the coming week.
"This business of holding inquests
when they are not required is simply
another means of grabbing fees. In
case the duties Of The office devolvc

WEEK OF WONDER
WINDOWS TO COME
Second Trial of the Plan Will
Be Put Into Effect During
Ak-Sar-Ben.
PUTTING OMAHA ON MAP

The week of Wonderful VIM
dows," which brought flattering re-
suits last April when first featured by
the merchants Of Omaha, is. to be
given a. second trial, beginning
Wednesday night, September 27.\
That the idea Of decorating all the
windows in the downtown retail dis
trict during one and the same week,
with especially artistic designs and,
displays, is good policy was evidenced
by the fact that thousands of people
came that week to view the displays.
This success caused the merchants to-
decide on the repetition OF the same
feature this year.
This is putting Omaha on the map
in distinctive way. The idea of the
week of Wonderful Windows" is
original and was commented on by all
Of the leading magazines and publica-
tons of the country, and is regarded
as an efficient method of showing to
the people of this section in a positive
way the fact that Omaha merchandise
measures up to the best that the
world affords.

1t Costs Much to Shoe Milady
Charmingly, Admits the Dealer

All this costs money. And it's 60
ing to cost more money. The shoe
man explained that if he were to try
to duplicate his present stock of fancy
shoes today he would have to pay
from 50 cents to 81 pair more than
he paid a few months ago.
The shoe windows are regular riots
of colors and designs these days. They
look more like millinery windows.
Here are black shoes with white
tops, bronze shoes with tan tops, tan
shoes with mouse-color tops, shoes
made of buckskin in delicate shades
of grey and brown" shoes with open
work toes decorated with steel beads
silver qhoes, gold shoes, green shoes
with white tops, red shoes with white
tops, shoes with scrollwork and
swastikas along the holes, black
shoes with pinkish-grey tops, shoes
with plaid tops, black shoes with
white and red polka dots on the up
pers, shoes with beads on the heels,
buff shoes, blue shoes, yellow shoes,
champaign shoes, cerise shoes, purple
SHOES, SuOes Will pcdii putloho, uioWH
shoes with white tops and white heels,
white shoes with silver tips, black
shoes with gold trimmings, shoes,
shoes, shoes, shoes.
OF course, girls, you wouldn't think
of wearing ordinary black or tan calf
skin shoes like you wore few years
ago. Why, you'd as soon think of
wearing cotton hose, wouldn't you?
And it's all right SO, too. We're
"for" you, we men are. You always
look so charming that, really, few
dollars more or less on the cost OF
your clothes oughtn't to cut much
figure.
The prices ARE Terrible. But
if you can't get Anything decent
under So, why, then. go ahead and
pay So.
it is worth many eight dollars-es to
have you happy and looking SO charm
ing.
OF course, if you have to operate
on father or hubby to get the money

ton will be successful.

QUIETLY BUILDING
BEAUTIFUL FLOATS
Industrial Pageant Will Por-
tray Prettily 0maha's Va
ried Lines of Business.
CANCELS FLOWER PARADE

Thirty-five floats and groups are
ready to enter the industrial parade
the week OF the Ak-Sar-Ben festivi-
ties. This parade occurs the after
noon OF October 8.
The committee in charge is espe-
cially anxious that every one OF Oma-
has industries take advantage Of this
opportunity to come out with float,
or a group OF some kind to represent
their industry, and thus make this one
of the big features of the weeks
| festivities.
This is an opportunity for the va
rious manufacturing concerns to BIOS
som out and display something in an
artistic way that typifies their line
of business. The industrial parade
this year is a new feature of parade
week. There is to be no floral pa
rade, as there has been during the
last several years, and the industrial
parade is to take, the place OF It.
These floats are not assembled in
one place, as are the floats for the
historical parade and the electrical
parade. They are not being built by
any one building organization, for
Gus RENEE is extremely busy with his
forty-nine other floats for the other
two parades.
But everywhere in the manufactur.
ing plants in Omaha the work OF
building and decorating floats and
preparing costumes to fit those who
will man them, is going on.
Thus every concern is building its
own float, or having it built by some
artisan who can give his time to It.
On the day of the industrial parade
these productions will come gliding
out of their quarters in factories in
dozen different parts of the city,
will form in line at the appointed
places, and, accompanied by numer-
Gus bands, will move down the streets
OF Omaha in artistic grandeur.

Week at Gayety

Far above the average is this weeks
show which opened last night at the
Gayety. 1t is 1.-THE Hip, Hip Hooray
Girls" and it goes with hip, hip,
hooray from the very start.
The girls are extra good looking
and their costumes are simply stun
ming. The stage settings are also OF
the first order. If you want something
good in burlesque, this is it.
After the first act comes an olio OF
three good numbers, including Jessie

pleasing form, who do various fancy

night, and on Friday night for women
Two trophy cups are offered as prizes
each evening. Monday noon at l2:4S
o'clock Miss Switzerland will make a

When the Animals Speak
The Whale Set Up as q King

swordfish? I can drive my rapief
through the bottom Of ship"
Many of the onlookers, who had
never happened to meet a swordfish
before, but all of whom knew the ter-
rible reputation Of the creature, silent,
ly stole away, after few curious
glances, but the more courageous ones
remained. Among them was fine
large salmon, who had been born in
the upper waters of the Columbia
river. Coolly ranging alongside the
swordfish, whose length, about fifteen
feet, was double its own, the salmon
said:
2 1"If the power to kill were proper
qualification for kingship, perhaps you
would have the best claim to be the
king of the sea. But, in truth, your
claim is not better than the whale,
based on his size and his appetite, or
that of the shark, which has no better
foundation than his readiness to bite.
A king ought to be chosen for his
wisdom. Who is the wisest of fishes!
Let him be your king"
1.-THE salmon is the wisest," said
several voices in chorus. "He knows
the land as we'll as the sea, the rivers
as well as the ocean. There is no finer
FISH than he, and none of longer and
better descent. Let's have the SAL
mon for kin9."
Agreed" cried all, including the
swordfish.
81 thank you, and | decline" said
the salmon. 81 could give you no bet
ter proof of the wisdom which you
say possess"

Finding the struggle to support her

DEvoUTLY SING AMERICA

The Douglas county pioneers held
their annual picnic six weeks, or SO
ago and the function was such a pro-
nounced success that they decided to
hold second one. For this purpose
they selected yesterday as the date
and Hanscom park as the place. The
weather man was with them and put
up brand of weather that was just
right for mid-fall outing. s',
The pioneers commenced to gather
in Hanscom park shortly after noon
and an hour later when the basket
lunch was spread, there were about
100 men and women present. After
the lunch, an hour, or so was taken up
with visiting and living over the days
Of fifty years ago, recounting in
cidents that occurred when Omaha
and Nebraska wore swaddling clothes,

A little after 2 o'clock the pioneers
gathered around the bandstand and
President Kierstead, who was called
away on business, turned the manage
tnent of the affair over to P. J. Cree

picnic having been managed by the
men, CALAMITY introduced Mrs. Mary
Cormack and clothed her with the au-
thority of chairman.
In accepting the honor, Mrs. Cor
mack delivered neat little speech,
telling what the pioneers had done in
the way of coming from eastern
homes fifty and sixty years ago and
settling here In a country that at that
time was the home of the Indians, the
buffalo and the wild beasts.
Starting the program of the after
noon, a quartet made up of j. F.
Staley, D. M. Haverley, E. w. john
son and w. H. Russell, all pioneers,
sang America" the audience joining
in the chorus and standing with barred
heads.
Mrs. P. Mclaughlin recited, "Any
place in the United States is good
enough for me- but laid particular
stress that Omaha is the place.
T. ]. Hudson, who is writing his
tory of Omaha and Douglas county
when introduced, insisted that he was
not advertising his publication and
told the people that while he was not
a pioneer of Nebraska, he was pio-
neer of another state.
The quartet sang Down With Old
John Barleycorn," after which A. S.
Churchill, candidate for the district
bench and not pioneer was intro
duced. Mr.. Churchill kept away from
politics and detailed the fact that
while he was not Nebraska pioneer,
he was a pioneer of Wisconsin and
