COUNTERFEIT GANG
ACTIVE IN OMAHA?
Federal Sleuths and Local De-
tectives Suspect There's a
Layout in the City.
WOMAN PRESENTS COIN

That gang of clever counterteiters
may have been at work in Omaha for
some time is feared by the Omaha
police and local federal authorities.
The appearance of counterfeit Slo
gold piece was made known to the
police three days ago and they. ad-
yised the federal officers who have
instituted a search for the men who
are placing the spurious money in Cir
culation. ....

piece for payment Of articles pur-
chased. The coin did not appear gen.
uine TO Unit because it seemed to be
little light and the metallic ring was
not true. Unit weighed the coin and
found his suspicious true. 1t was
considerably under weight. Further,
inspection Of the coin led Unit to
believe the coin was merely washed
with gold. The $40 mark on the coin
was stamped in. :,
The woman who presented the coin
to Unit could not recall where she
had received it. She said she had car,
ried il in her purse several days and
that it had not aroused her suspicious;
Authorities fear that many more OF
these spurious coins may have been
circulated in Omaha. The eounterfeitt
IS fairly clever and probably would
easily escape detection unless EXAM

Both police and federal officers are
searching for the culprits but Their
information is so meager they are not
sure whether gang OF counterfeiterss
is at work here or whether "passer

DEATH MYSTERY Is
SOLVED BY MAGNEY
Inquest Reveals Man Found in

dental Death.
POLICE THEORY Is MURDER

That Thomas R. Campbell, whose
lifeless body was found suspended
over a buttermilk vat in the Omaha
cold storage plant at Eighth and
Farnam streets, came to his death by
accident two or three days prior to
the time he was found and that death
was due to strangulation, was the ver-
dict OF a coroner's jury at an inquest
held Thursday morning by County
Attorney Magney.
A. N. Thomson, foreman at the
storage plant, testified that the pipe
through which a man would have to
pass in order to get into the butter
milk vat was but twenty inches III
diameter and that Campbell would
have had to slide In feet first with
his arms outstretched above his head.
Bruise on Head.
DR.. McCleneghen testified that an
autopsy showed bruise on Camp
bells head, which might have been
made by blunt instrument and
| which might have rendered him un.
conscious.
Detectives Dolan and Lahey, who
| worked on the case, testified they had
learned from relatives at Avoca, la,
that the dead man had $40 in money
and gold watch on him when he
came to Omaha. When his body wa:
discovered no trace Of money or val
tables was found.
The theory that Campbell nigh
have been slugged and robbed ant
then placed in the vat by his assail
ants was advanced, but the coroner
jury decided the theory Of Academia
death was more plausible.

THE NEED OF A HAT BRIM.
(New York Tribune.) }

Artists will tell woman that she
needs a brim to shade her eyes if
she is over 80 years old. This is an
artistic axiom that is broken by
thousands of women over so years
old, and yet it is a safe statement
by which to stand.
The straight brim, which is remi-
niscent of the sailor hats worn by
the Gibson girls, is usually unbecom-
ing to every American except GER
tain fragile type. Once we thought it
was symbolic of the American girl,
because Mr.. Gibson's art led us into
that belief, but the truth is that the
modern American face looks its worst
under a stiff regulation sailor.
The graceful brim is the swirling
one which goes UP or down, accord
ing to the features of the woman's
face. There is a tendency to make
all brims dip over the eyes.

The Dress and the Suit

At present, indications are that
the dress and coat will be more pop
ular for street wear than the coat
suit. This is a rule that is easily set
aside, and there will be many suits
worn this year. Indeed, it is an
American costume, and the American
woman always feels that there, ate
occasions when only a coat suit
should be worn. Mowever, dresses
to be worn on the street without a
coat, these first cool days, are hold
ing the center of the stage. Blue
serge leads, as it always does, but
tricotine, gabardine and wool jersey,
as well as the heavier wooden mate
rials in various colors and combina-
tions of colors, are equally smart.
The Tie-0n Waist and the Straight
Skirt
The illustration shows one of the
many clever designs for the tie-on
blouse. The surplice line is SO gen.
orally becoming that I, for one, am
glad to see that it continues to be q
fashion favorite. The panel effect in
the front, with its braiding design,
is another feature. This dress was
developed in blue serge, with the
collar and braiding in beige color.
At 4irst glance, one sees the simplic-
ity of the costume, an effect gained
by the absence of trimming. A
dress of this type is equally suitable
for morning and afternoon.

The New Tunic Dress.

The tunic gives such lovely long
lines to the shortest figure, that one
can easily understand why it is so
popular. Then, too, the tunic dress
can SO readily be made of two ma

presents many possibilities for the
home dressmaker as we'll as for the
professional. The shaped tunic is
very new; the one illustrated here

The Battle of the Bustle

There is a restraint about every
thing, from the sleeves, which are
long and tight in street costumes,
to the skirts, which are narrower
than last year, and which promises
to be longer. There is one impor-
tant question which has not as yet
been settled. A fierce battle is wag-
ing between two fashions, for the
hustle and against it. After all, it
is up to the women themselves, in
the end, and only they can decide
whether style is "to be or not to

HOMER ATTAWAY
 DEEPLY PUZZLED

Homer Attaway. son of MT. and Mrs. J. D. Attaway of this city is between the devil and the deep blue sea. He has returned to Phoenix from the Grand Canyon after an absence of about two years and he isn't certain whether to call it a visit or whether the call of Phoenix is stronger than that of good position with Fred liar vey which keeps him away from Phoe- nix.
 It's like this. Homer Attaway is one of the principal owners of the Attaway grocery at 200 West Washington street. His father and his brother have been conducting the establishment success fully. but Homer thinks that the con- stantly increasing business requires the presence Of another man, that man be- ing himself Then, too he likes Phoe- nix better than any other spot on earth, not even excepting the Grand Canyon.
 And so with q good position all his own with Fred Harvey. and a good business in Phoenix, pretty nearly his own, there is small wonder that he is puzzled. His father says that Homer IS soon going to close up his affairs in the rorthern end of the state and come back to Phoenix and settle down, which means Phoenix will gain another good citizen or at least reclaim one.
