BWII'}'HIART I8 PRESENT Although the death of Sigmund Landsberg, musician and composer, was mourned by many friends, there was none, save perhaps his fiancee, who appeared to grieve so deeply as 13-year-old Anna Leaf, daughter of Mrs. Gusta Leaf, 1726 South Twenty- sixth street.. .. The little girl is a musical prod- igy and was discovered by Prof. Landsbherg some six years ago. Since that time he had conducted her in- struction and after the sensation she created before the Tuesday Morning Musical club wag visited by a num- ber of prominent society women, who agreed to co-operate with him in sending the child to Europe to com- plete ‘her musical education, Mrs. Leaf is a widow in moden!el Fabus A ¥ o Cu o 12l A =z circumstances, and Prof. Landsberg’s interest and declaration that he would educate Anna in the profession he loved won a regard and affection from both mother and child that was ! pitiful to behold at the funeral serv- ices conducted in Hoffman’s chapel Monday afternoon. . The little girl first learned of her instructor’s death on the car Saturday evening, and upon reaching home was 80 overcome with grief that she was placed under the care of a physician. The sight of the last music lesson that Prof. Landsberg had given her 1o affected the child that her condi- tion was really precarious for a time, as she is very delicate. At the funeral both mother and little girl wept bitterly when they looked for the last time on the face of their friend, and it was through the invitation of a sympathetic witness that they were able to go to Pleasant Hill cemetery. { Miss Martha Schumann, the be- trothed of the dead man, asserted at Hoffman's that in her opinion ill health was the reason why Landsberg took his life. Hayward Gives Brooklyn 8-Cent : E1_0c_tric Light “'A four-year fight for a new electric light schedule for Brooklyn has just been' settled by a decision of the pub- lic service commission®of New York rendered by William Hayward, well known here in Nebraska, where he used to live. The voluminous opinion roes in great detail into the vital actors of capitalization, physical val- vation, franchise and giving. value claims, depreciation, rate of capital return and relative charges as be- tween large and small consumers, Brooklyn had been paying a maxi- mum 1l-cent rate with $1 a month minimum on a lnrng capacity scale and An 8-cent maximum with steps down to 6 cents and 4 cents. The decision has the concurrence of all the other members of the public service com- mission and is likely to become a standard precedent in light rate con- tentioris. 3 Street Railway Company Finishes Some-New Cars During last summer in its Omaha shops the street .railway company started building twenty-five cars for the city lines. = Thirteen of these cars were completed and put out on- to the lines for the Ak-Sar-Ben rush traffic.

The 'gators mags themselves against a steampipe and snooze the hlppf hours away. The ducks from the land of Pancho Villa are identified by a peculiar shrill whistle which disturbs the nerves of the alligators. When one of the ducks gets its whistle in work- ing order the large alligator languid- ly raises its. head, blinks its eyes, opens its mouth, then reverses these movements and resumes its siesta., —_— X Four for School Board for Four Years, E\lr for Two| Reed, Burns, Clark and Wells, be- ing the four highest on the face of the unofficial returns for members of the school board, are elected for four years, and Tulmadge Falconer, Bro- gan and Warfield, e]ng the low four of those, elected, will serve for two years, .if the official count bears out the unofficial returns.

Dr. Caldwell's Syrup Pepsin is a combination of simple laxative herbs with pepsin that acts on the bowels, in an easy, natural way, and regu- lates the aation of this most impor- tant function. - Nearly all the sick- ness to which children are subject is traceable to bowel inaction, and a mild, derenflable laxative, such as Dr. Caldwell’'s Syrup Pepsin, should have a place in every tamily medicine chest.
