"" I01T South Tenth BtreeU Omaha, Nebraska appears to be supposed outside Portugal. Great reserve Is observed In official quarters, but the Indications are that the government does aot yet consider the danger past. Troops are kept in constant readiness day and night - for service. Searchllghta from. warships in the harbor play nightly upon the waters surrounding vessels, with. the object, presumaMy, of preventing attacks from Insurgents who might attempt to board thorn from boats or barges. Among the distinguished re- i publicans arrested are Mlgjcl de Obren, a deputy, and son ot a revured republlcsn leader, Or. Kluardo de Ohrvn. Two re publican provincial civil governors have also been arrested, and forty other per- J who sons, more obscure. Jtlany. ol the prisoners were- stoned and attacked in the streets by Carbonarlos, members of the secret political society which upholds the present government. Senhor Tonto Mayor, a .great landed proprlotor of Oporto, and a known roy jallst, was arrested and taken to a police ' at at Ion for examination. ' His body was i brought out half an hour later. The authorities say he committed suicide, but 'there is considerable incredulity and ' Mayor's death has caused a great sen'sa 1 tion in that part of the country.

Week. QUESTION . AS TO LIABILITY An interesting UttUs problem came up In federal court last week. Involving tha question pt Just where "the line shall be drawn" In suits under the federal em ployers' liability act J. A. C. Kennedy, attorney for the Mis souri Pacific railroad, waa arguing; a mo tion before Judge Mungor In the suit of John J. Putman of Falls City effalnst tha railroad. , ' Tutmsn was a laborer employed in tha roundhouse, and received injuries while he ann other laborers were hoisting a power Jack from the engine pit prepara tory to having the Jack repaired. Attorney for Putman argued that the la borers were engaged in interstate com merce and, therefore, came under the fed eral act. For, said he, if they had not hoisted the Jack from the pit In order that It could bo repaired it could not ba uved to ropaJr tha engine. And then the ens I ne could not perform Ita duties aa a mover In Interstate commerce. And he cited numerous decisions to prove that ho waa right. Then came Mr, Kennedy and argued that Putman was not engagm) in inter state commerce Inasmuch aa he was not engaged on any work which la a direct factor in Interstate commerce. He called In the well known "reductto ad ab aurdam" and remarked that if this labor was held to be engaged In interstate com merce, then the machinists who made the Jack must be considered aa engaged In Interstate commerce. 8o, toa, must tha steel V workers who made tho steel, and th;'ron moldera, and the very miners who mined the ore from which the' Jack was finally made. , Another case was argued at the same time, In which a youth who was a fire man on the engine of a construction train was Injured and la seeking compen sation Under the federal act. The railroad attorney contended that this lad waa. not en a red In Interstate cbmmcroe, though he admitted, uv answer to a question of the court, that laborers spresd the ballast which tha con struction train was hauling were engaged In interstate commerce. And the attorney for the railroad cited just as many weighty decisions of learned jurists as did tha attorney for the plain tiffs. "And what good came of it, at last 7" CJuoth little Peterkln.

The wear and tear of travel, late hours, broken sleeiv bad train connections, small town hotel accommodations and speeches every day constitute a fine rest cure after a year on the bench, accord ing to his experience. ' Each fall when Judge Estelle returns his friends remark how well ho Is looking;. When he returned to Omajia shortly be fore the . present term of court opened, the judge looked several years youngvr than when he atarted his strenuous va cation. Judge Estelle is regarded by Chau tauqua managers aa about as big an at traction aa W. J. Bryan, whose activities in this direction have received nation wide publicity. In every lecture he refers to Omaha and never falls to praise this town and state. . This habit haa brought him much favorable comment from critics, who compare him, to hla advan- tage, with lecturers who make them selves large In their speeches at the ex pense of their home cities and states. L?t summer Judge Estelle traveled from Minnesota to Missouri. ' For ma-' terlal for his speeches he draws on his long experience aa a lawyer, a judge of ths criminal. Juvenile and civil courts, a soldier and a studunt of human nature. Judge Estelle is fond of children and never objects when their noises or cries interrupt his talks. During one speech summer, a pretty, -year-old tot attempted to build a hotel, it is doubtful if even this worker of miracles could have surpassed the new hotel built by the loyal and progressive citizens of Omaha to fill a long-felt want. ' Modern and fireproof, it provides every 'comfort and luxury to- those within its doors. Its spacious lobby and public rooms, its magnificent dining and ball rooms, make a fit abode for any crowned head, even His Gracious Majesty, King Ak-Sar-Bon, and yet its range of prices is such that you can afford to stop there. It is fireproof; can you afford to stop anywhere else? His Majesty could not find, even in his own re gal court, more willing or courteous attend-: , ants, full of ''pep" and ready to do his bid- ding, and though you may have no royal blood in your veins, you .will find them just as anxious to please and serve you. - ' "Built For You to Enjoy" : ., WMitii 'r tq t t S ?
