SUNDAY CLOSING FAILS
Ordica&ca Recently Fuisd bj Council Held
to B TJnconititutional.
GROCER BROWN WINS IN THE TEST CASE
Lurnl Act Appllm Onlr (irocrrs nnd
Meat Henlfri. nnd In TUt-re-fure
Derln rril Clnva
Lruioliltliill.
Grocers and meat dealers raay keep open
shop on Sunday If they please. The Sun
day closing ordlnanco recently passed by
the city council has already gone down by
Its own weight. Judge Baker of the dis
trict court having held It to be unconstitu
tional and void.
David Brown, a grocer of Twenty-fourth
street, was the first man arrested for violat
ing the new ordinance. He opened his
shop for a few minutes last Sunday to sell
a customer a dozen of eggs, and on Mon
day morning he was hauled to the police
court. After hearlug the ordinance read
and after receiving the proof that Brown
had sold a dozen ot eggs on the Lord's day
tho police Judge lined the grocer 110.
Mr. Brown did not pay the line, but suf
fered himself to be a prisoner In default
for a few hours, until his attorney secured
a writ of habeas corpus from the istrlet
court. The writ was returnable before
Judge. Baker yesterday morning.
Court !Mistii!iiH Ilffi-uui'.
The attorney for Mr. Brown appeared and
contended that the grocer was unlawfully
restrained of his liberty because the ordi
nance under which he had been arrested
and convicted was clasa legislation la that
it required only grocers and meat dealers
to close up shop on Sunday. The court
promptly sustained the contention and or
dered the dUcharge of Mr. Brown.
The Sunday closing ordinance was passed
by the council upon tho request of the local
associations of the retail grocers and meat
dealers. It Is understood that a majority
ot tho retailers wont the Sunday holiday,
but some of them, like Mr Brown, desire to
keep their stores open for a tew hours in
the forenoon.

Era Small Is the reverse of Little Eva

band Is not pure fiction. In a petition for
divorce filed Friday Zenas Small says
his wife Eva has been in the habit ot deal
ing htm such unwelcome things as left-arm
swings and right-hand uppercuts. He
avers that bis wife is an unusually big
woman, well above his class In pugilistic
affairs, and he doesn't care to contest th
honors with her. He prefers to take a di
vorce. Emily H. and Adolbert Z. Fellows were
married at Whttesboro. N. Y., In 1S92, and
three years later. It Is said, the husband
deserted. Mrs. Fellows filed a divorce pe
tition. Judge Dicklncon has granted a divorce to
Dallas O. from Villa Green, the charge be

WHY CUMMINGS DISAPPEARED
II Drummer Trlra In Work Hotel
li- .Mrnnn of Mulrn lino
lIKKr Cheek.
A well dressed man came Into the Mil
lard hotel Friday night and asked for the
best room In the house, giving the clerU
two beggage checks with Instructions to
have his grips sent up as early as possible
Saturday morning. After being shown to bis
room he returned to the office and asked
the clerk to advance him about 120 until
he could get his mall, which, he said,
would contain a remittance from bis house.
Night Clerk Cummins became suspicious
and told the gentleman, who bad registered
as II. L. Cummlngs of New York, that be
would have to send out for thr money, as
ho had Just cashed a large draft and had
no money.
"Mr. Cummlngs" then disappeared. On
presenting the checks at the depot Saturday
morning it was found that they were somo
that bad been stolen from the railroad
about a year ago.
This same dodge w-as worked successfully
at the Grand hotel in Council Bluffs the
other night and Mr. Cummins thinks that
It was the same man.

HAYDE
MATCH FACTORY IS ASSURED
Negotiation for New Eiterpriie Ak
Pncticallj lettled.
OMAHA WILL BE A WARM TOWN THEN
Srcretnrj- Utt of the Commercial Clnti
llrturnn from Chicago nnd Makes
Public Announcement I'onnl
bllitU's of the Venture.
"There Is every reason to believe that a
fully-equipped match factory will be In
operation In this city before next fall,"
declared Secretary John E. Utt ot the Com
mercial club yesterday morning.
Mr. Utt made this statement on his re
turn from Chicago, where ho had been In
company with an Omaha capitalist, who is
considering the advisability ot locating
such a manufacturing establishment In this
city. For various reasons the Omaha man
who contemplates the Investment of the
money necessary to thu swinging ot this
venture does not care to have his Identity
known at this time.
The proposition of a match factory for
Omaha has been discussed for several
weeks, but not until yesterday morning was
positive assurance given out.
"We went to Chicago," said Mr. Utt,
"and were there Joined by the officials ot
a thriving independent match factory lo
cated at Evergreen, 111. The situation was
dlscusted at length and from Chicago we
went to Evergreen and Inspected the plant
which Is located there. Our observations
were mcst satisfactory and the possibility
of realizing big from an Investment In a
match factory located In Omaha Is limit
less. Coiimimptlon llUTrni.ru.
"It is a fact, substantiated by statistics,
that the consumption ot matches in the
luited States Is increasing trom 10 to 13 per
cnt per annum. This Is accounted for by
matchmakers because of the growing popu
larity of the smoking habit. Men are be
coming more and more addicted to smok
ing. This growth cornea largely from men
who were at one time victims of the chew
ing habit. A decrease in chewing, corre
sponding relatively to the Increase In smok
ing, has been brought about, and naturally
the consumption ot matches has been In
creasing. "At the present time there are eight in
dependent match factories in the United
States. All of these factories are running
full time, and there Is at present no over
production. Because ot the rapid Increase
In consumption there is no probability ot
any over-production.
"Omaha offers a most Battering location
for a match factory. The manufacture ot
matches is confined almost wholly to the
i east, and the vast territory tributary to
Omaha must look east of the Missouri river
for Its match supply." .
j Locution Xiuulit,
I The question ot locating a factory of this
i kind In Omaha has progressed to the point
I where a number ot buildings have been
) locked over with the Idea In view of fur
i ntsblng adequate quarters for such an es
tablishment In the beginning it Is lm
' probable that a building would be erected

REPAIRING WATERS WASTE

In Vicinity of l'lntt
miMitli. C. M. Rathburn, superintendent, and E.
O. Mann, assistant superintendent ot the
Atchison branch of the Missouri ' Pacific,
were In the city after completing the work
of temporary repairs at tho Platte river
washout, south of the city. They found
that S.010 feet of track had been washed
out and it was necessary to crib up the
track with ties. This was completed about
midnight Trlday night, but the trains were
not allowed to run over the new track
until morning and then only at a greatly
dlmlnlxbei. speed.
The Burlington track 'lias also been re
paired for the time, being and trains are
running in the normal order.

Highly Kiifoiirngiiig Condition)..
Charles BUxt, one ot the Union Pacific
land agents, is home from a trip through
central Nebraska and reports prosperous
conditions in that part of the state. The
winter wheat is cow in tine condition and
the prospects are that it will pull through
In good shape. The only remaining danger
seem3 to be a warm spell followed by a
drop of tho temperature sufficient to freeze
the wheat, but it is believed that this pos
sibility la almost passed.
There Is a large land movement through
out the state, according to the Information
Mr. BUxt has been able to gather. The
farmers of the state ar increasing their
holdings materially, though most ot these
purchases nre in small pieces. The people
he found arc In good spirits and very hope
ful for another good year.
Mr. BUxt also found a strong Influx of
people from the east, from Iowa, Missouri
and Illinois. They appear to be more pros
perous people than those who are emigrat
ing to the states farther west, and they are
Investing more money In the farm lands
than the western parties.
ThU l Very tiood.
Speed very close to a mile a minute was
attained by Burlington train No. 42 on the
run from Ravenna to Lincoln Friday. The
train left Ravenna at 3:06 that morning and
came to a standstill in the Lincoln station
at 5:40. This run was over a distance of
121 miles and was made in Just 151 minutes.
Four stops had been made, and with the
time for these and several slow-downs de
ducted the actual running time becomes
almost a mile a minute. Matt Daugherty

The industrial exposition will be formally
opened Monday night. Large forces ot
workmen have been busily engaged during
the last few days in arranging the late ex
hibits and the bic building, formerly occu
pied by the Lee-Ulass-Andreesen company,
at Thirteenth and Harney streets has been
transferred into a veritable mart of com
merce. Exhibitors are still clamoring for space
and all ot next week will witness the in
stallation of new exhibits. Superintendent
GUlan and the members ot the auditorium
company are highly pleased, however, with
tho large iiumter of exhibits which are al
ready installed and ready for Inspection.
The opening will be accomplished under un
usually flattering circumstances because ot
the promptness with which many ot the ex
hibitors have arranged tbelr displays.
The opening night will be devoted to a
high-class vaudeville entertainment, which
will be held on the third floor in the im
provised theater. Attractions for this pro
gram have been supplied largely through
tho efforts and assistance of Jake Rosen
thal, under whose direction the entertain
ment will be given.
rontet Will He Spirited.
Besides thi program there will be any
number of interesting guessing contests
and valuable gifts will bo dispensed with
a lavish hand. The guessing contests will
be varied In character and many innova
tions will be Introduced. The time-honored
bottle of beans will be on hand, however,
and the one who guesses nearest the num
ber of beans In the bottle will bo given a
prize. The guessing contests will be con
tinued throughout the entire week and the
distribution of prizes will occur Saturday
night.
Every visitor to the exposition Monday
night will be in line for a handsome me
mento of the occasion. Duplicate tickets
will be distributed and at 10 o'clock a
drawing will txj held. Fifteen or twenty
valuable articles of merchandise have been
set aside for distribution on the opening
nigh' and the holders of the numbers cor
responding to the numbers attached to the
Sifts will carry oft tho prizes.
"A great big surprlte Is in storo for
Omaha people." said Superintendent GUlan
yeterday. "There are few. if any, who have
reached a proper realization of tho magni
tude ot this Industrial exposition and when
they pay a visit to the exposition and find
three floors covered with all sorts ot ex
Ulblts arranged In attractive manner their
irpri.e is going to be of the genuine va

I predict that the exposition will be quite

At the noonday meeting of the directors
ot the auditorium yesterday little else was
discussed besides the Industrial exposition.
The directors are a unit In their satisfac
tion over the excellence of the preliminary
arrangements and every ono Interested be
lieves that the venture will prove a great
success.
"Omaha people have all along glvea tho
auditorium project their most hearty sup
port." said President Sanborn. "It will not
tako them long to appreciate that tho in
dustrial exposition had Its inception in ths
desire to promote the auditorium fund, and
now that it has come to life they will lend
their assistance toward making It a great
success. All of the directors have been
more than sanguine In their anticipations
of the success that will attend the exposi
tion, but I believo today, after viewing the
exhibits and marking the ortutic skill and
attractive manner In which the arrange
ment has been made, that our fondest hopes
will bo more than realized."
TO FAVOR OMAHA MERCHANTS

R. C. Jordan, superintendent of the Indian
supply depot In this city, has returned from
Washington, where he held a conference
with Commissioner ot Indian Affairs Jones.
On his arrival yesterday he proceeded to
purchase complete furnishings for his office,
all of which was bought from local mer
chants and amounted to about JTio.
"I found Commissioner Jones disposed to
give Omaha merchants every opportunity
for furnishing all the supplies that they
can handle to the best advantage," said
Superintendent Jordan. "For Instance, on
supplies that will be furnished by the
Omaha depot for the Indians situated on
reservations In the territory tributary to
this city Omaha bidders will be favored.
Of course everything will be by bid, but
the Omaha bidder will have tho advantage
In that bn will not have to figure on freight
rates. This will give the manufacturers a
partlcular'advantage.
"Advertisements for bids on supplies that
will be handled by the Omaha depot aro
now being prepared In Washington and will
be published this month. Bids will be
opened In May. Until that time the Omaha
depot will not be very busy, but after the
bids are opened and supplies begin coming
In I expect that the superintendent of the
depot, as well as all the employes, will be
kept on a continual Jump."
