The local saloonists will "try on" the
mayor's Sunday closing order ngnln to-day.
It was generally obeyed last Sunday , but a
foiv of the budge dispensers were inclined to
buck the authority of the city executive. It
resulted disastrously when the parties were
caught. Joe IJotts contributed $35 and costs
for his Sunday lesson , and John Dunn is at
present contemplating whether to continue
the light or go into court and pay bis fine.
The chiuf of police will strictly enforce the
order to-day , and thirsty ones will have to
borrow from the bottles of more provident
friends. The majority of the saloonkeepers
express themselves as pleased with the
order , as it gives them a day to themselves ,
and they are not afraid that their competitors
are stealing their trade from them. A few
urco that the order drives nearly $2,000 m
cash to Omaha every Sunday , but , on the
whole , there is very little kicking. The
mayor's stand in the matter meets with gen
eral favor , and the opinion is quite generally
expressed that If ho would show the same
backbone in enforcing the payment of saloon
lines that ho does lif the closing order , ho
would experience- difficulty , in that di
rection.
