MUST MAKE A CASH DEPOSIT v Judge Dickinson Rercbrs a Decision in the Exposition Injunction OM , COURT ROOM CROWDED WITH SPECTATORS AMc LniTycrn for Hllhrr Slilc Content VlKorntinly from SJnrt to Klnl < liMoiic > - Will He DejmnHed , Decisive- action was taken In the exposi tion litigation Wednesday afternoon , when Judge Dickinson rendered a decision In the Injunction proceedings instituted a few days ago by the Cady Lumber company , wherein the court was prayed to restrain the Chi- cngo Wrecking company from razing cer tain buildings which are looked upon as Hens by the plaintiff. Judge Dickinson ruled that the wrecking company shall not destroy the buildings lu question unless the defendants deposit with the clerk of the district court sufficient money to cover the mechanic's Hens. If the money Is deposited , then the work of wrecking may proceed so far as the court's decision Is concerned. It Is understood that Immcdlatu compliance will bo made with this stipulation and that the wrecking will proceed unless restrained by some of the other plaintiffs who have sued the exposition. The aggregate amount of the Cady Lumber company's Hens Is about $1,700 , and represents lumber furnished. In view of the numerous suits pending , Judge Dickinson's decision is a matter of Interest to many persons , and his courtroom was crowded all day while the procced- Ints were In progress. , A notable array of legal talent appeared for cither side , and the case was contested from start to finish In a spirited manner. The attorney for the wrecking company , co-defendant with the exposition manage ment , made the plea that the buildings were not realty , but personal property and that they were not subject to the usual Hen process. The plaintiffs argued directly op posite , holding that the buildings are not trade fixtures. Within the last lour weeks numerous sultn have been Instituted against the ex position and the wrecking company. They are nil of similar Import , the Idea being to prevent the butldlnga from being torn down until financial obligations are properly ad justed.

SOUTH OMAHA NEWS. | A petition la being circulated among the residents of Brown park requesting the Board of Education to allow the use of one or more rooms at the Brown Park- school building on Sundays for the teaching of the Bohemian language. Not long ago the Bo hemian lodges In the city established n school for children of Bohemian parents where the Bohemian language Is taught. At the present time this school Is held at Koutsky'n hall from D a , m. until noon of rach Sunday. The room Is too small for the 120 pupils and It IB the desire of the parents ' of these children that more commodious | I quarters bo secured. Eight of the Bohemian | lodges are supporting this school and the j I j I petition to go to the Board of Education will . be signed by the president and secretary of { | each of the lodges. The combination of | lodges Is willing to agree to pay for coal used and for Janitor service during the thrco hours the building " 111 bo used. Nearly nil the pupils of this school are attending tbo public schools , but It Is the doslre of the parents of these children that they learn the Bohemian language and In order to assist In the furtherance of the plans of the lodges the school board will be asked to allow the use of certain rooms on Sunday. In connection with Bohemian matters It Is reported that a subscription list Is being cir culated here for the purpose of assisting the thrco Bohemian Turner lodges nt Vienna , Austria. It appears that these three lodges have been driven from their quarters by the Germans and arc unable to secure a lodge hall anywhere In the city. An appeal has been made to the Turner lodges In America and money Is now being raised for the pur- pCHo of buying ground and erecting a build ing In Vienna for the use of the Bohemian lodges there. Up to the present time quite a num has been raised hero and It Is expected that a considerable sum will bo raised. The appeal for help comes from well authenti cated sources and Is being readily responded to here. A similar appeal has been made to all of the Bohemian Turner lodges In Amer ica and without doubt a sum sumctcnt to purchase ground and erect a building will bo raised within a short time. Motor Train * livery Six Minute * . Since the close of the exposition the motor company has reduced the number of trains to twenty-one and now cars leave N street every six minutes.

Two extra trains are run morning and evening for the ac commodation of those who are employed at the packing houses. The city council has the right under tbo ordinance io regulate the running of trains and it is more than likely that a request will be made by the city of ficials for better service.

ELECTED AMID UNANIMOUS APPLAUSE In RnthuftlnMlc Ilntlflcntlon of the 1'lectloii the Conjirejtntlon Slim * "Prnlfic < lnrt from Whom All Flow. " Dr. C. S. Sargent , late of St. Louis , will be the new pastor of St. Mary's Avenue Con gregational church. Ho was elected Wednes day night at nn enthusiastic meeting of the congregation , Including both the church organization proper and the society. Dr. Sargent recently delivered a sermon at St. Mary's church and made such a favorable Impression that notwithstanding several other prominent divines were men- tloncd In connection with the pastorate , he was the choice of a large majority. The few dissenting votes cast against him on account of personal friendship and long acquaintance with the other possible can didates were changed Immediately and the election was made unanimous. Ho receive * : seventy-nine > otcs on the first ballot and subsequently the entire voting attendance , ninety-three strong , cast ballots for him. The Congregational church has what Is known as a society organization , and It Is the rule In selecting a. pastor for the so ciety to act Jointly with the regular church organization. At the close of the genera' balloting , the church adjourned and tbp society took charge of the meeting , ratify ing the election of Dr. Sargent. "Now Is the time to sing 'Praise Goi from Whom All Blessings Flow , ' " suggestet ono of the members , and every voice In the house was raised in sounding that old famil iar hymn. After considerable discussion It was de cided that the salary of Dr. Sargent shall be (2,500 annually. His pastorate will be gin at once. He will probably take charge next Sunday. In the selection of a pastor , there was a general disposition not to hurry matters although It was a Sargent'meeting from start to finish. Several Impromptu speeches were made and the general outlook for church anvanccmcnt was discussed. St Mary's avenue church Is one of the most representative and most prosperous In Omaha , and now that the question of a leader for the flock has been determined. It Is expected that the members will go to work with renewed zeal. A Oootl Thl 1117 from Ilnnnnry. Under the auspices of the Apolllnarls Com pany , Lon'lon , a very valuable mineral water , adapted for medicinal purposes , has been Introduced into this country under the nome of "Apenta. " This product la a bitter water , derived pure and In a per fectly natural condition , from springs sit uated near Budapest , Hungary. It belongs to the class of purgative wa ters ; but Its action happens to bo of a mild and non-Irritating character , duo to the presence of a large quantity of sulphate - phato of magnesia , which exceeds In quan tity the sulphate of soda. The former Is the milder purgative , and the somewhat crude action of the soda sulphate of other waters Is therefore said to T > e avoided in "Apenta. " Ton Much LIcuor Aboard. A.
