OBSERVE FAST OF ATONEMENT ;Daiks Hebrews Pay Strict Atteattoa x to Yom Ktppwr with1 Ortho dox Rltea. Both the Temple Israel on Harney street and the Russian synagogue on Capitol ave sue, near Twelfth, were crowded last even ing on the occasion of the first service for the solemn day of atonement, Tom Klppur On thla day, the twenty-four hours ending at tundown thlt evening, each member of the aynagogues mutt by prayer and tasting strive to make personal atonement for tin to hit God ;At the Harney atreet temple 'there will be a service thit morning and a, memorial aervice In the afternoon, and the temple will be open all day for those 'wishing to offer prayers. The Russians 'who are of the orthodox branch of Judaism observe the day very rigidly, abstaining from food and drink for the twenty-four 'hours anfl many praying In the temple through the night. Rabbi Simon apoke eloquently at the .Temple Israel, his subject being, "Atone tnent and the Social Problem." Among other things he emphasized the fact of man's dependence on toclety. He held that by the law of natural selfishness each man muat make atonement for himself per sonally and care for his own well being; tut In doing tblt he mutt not forget the atonement for toclety in general. No one could be Independent of others, for every thing a man can use It the work of other men. In the rabbi's opinion the millionaire Is more dependent on others than Is the poor man; and so also it the genlua. The sermon In the Capitol avenue temple was delivered by L. Grossman, and dealt with the subject of the fast day. LOOK FOR CLUET0 MYSTERY holloa leak Caasa for Dlsappearaaee of afaaey Packages at Tele ' graph OIBce.

Miller, mem ber of the Board of Education of South Omaha, with bribery, and naming Ceclle Lyon of the schools there at the one who gave him the bribe.

The case against John Henry Loechner was the first to be called and his attorneys succeeded In hav ing It knocked out In district court on the echnlcal grounds that the statutes apply only to administrative officers and that a member of the school board was not such an officer. The county attorney filed ex ceptions and carried the matter to the su preme court, where Judge Baxter's ruling was reversed in an opinion handed down by Judge Holcomb Thursday. Ceclle Lyon teaches In the High school annex at Twenty-sixth and N streets. NET PROCEEDS ARE NOT LARGE Seveatr-Klve Coats the dmm Total of Wages of. Three Peace Balldere. Oeorge Furgeson. Harry Bowden, Emer- aon Mathews and Olen Ensign, all of Co lumbus, O.. slept in the police station Thursday night, and are seeking for work to get money for a return passsge to their home city. The four are the victims of an employment agency. They signed con tracts with the Jones Nsttonal Fence com pany of Columbua. to build fence on the Mason City Ft. Dodge railroad near Council Bluffs at the rate of 17V4 cents an hour, with ateady employment. They bad to make a deposit of 110 on the cost of transportation, which waa to be refunded later. When they got work they found that the employment waa anything but con tinuous and during the two weeke they stayed they only worked four daya. To help pay expenaes one of the quartet assisted in the cook shanty from t a. m. to 10 p. m. for five daya, and two others waited on the meat table. A watch belonging to one of the party waa stolen and when they were paid off the net wages received waa 75 cents. That paid for a lunch and the bridge toll as they came to this city. They say that three drafts of thirty men have been decetved Into coming out from Columbua so far and that now only twenty-five remain at work.

SHOWS STRONG INDUSTRIAL POSITION Railroad Earalaga laereaaee ana Haa Ineee Fallaree Are Less Thaa Those Reported Laat Year. NEW YORK, Oct. 10 R. G. Pun ft Co.'e Weekly Review of Trade tomorrow will any: J-'avnrabte symptoms still predominate find the business outlook Is encouraging dfeplte the adverse fnctors of labor con tioverslea, fuel shortage and tight money. That these drawbacks have not seriously checked Industrial progress testifies to the strong position attained during recent m nths nf uninterrupted activity and grow ing confidence. Man J facturlnx plants de pendent upon steam for motive power are llndlnK profits curtailed by the high prices of fuel, and unless normal conditions are si on restored It w ill be necessary to ewure better quotations for products. The prob lem of adequate transportation Is also dis turbing, as there is already congestion In the coke region. When anthracite coal mining la fully re sumed and shipments attain expected di mensions the rallroada will find great diffi culty In meeting all requirements despite vigorous efforts to Increase facilities. Railroad earnings In the west were 94 per rent larger than last year and 20.1 In excess of 13"W. Dun's Index number of com trodlty price proportioned to consumption waa $100,648 on October 1, an advance of 4.1 per cent compared with the position of September 1, It le certain that all records of pig Iron production would be far surpassed If coke ecu Id be obtained, even at the exception ally high prices now prevailing. Hence re ports of active furnaces measure the avail able supply of coke rather than the demand for pig iron. Imports continue on a liberal scale, al though new rulings as to tariff rate checked arrivals of steel billets. Railway equip. (pent la still the most active feature of the market, car shops seeking material, while ordvrs are placed for far dlmant delivery because early shipments are possible. High premiums are offered for locomotives, but works have their books tilled well Into ntxt year. Iwt week'a reduction In prices of sheets and wire has not been followed by any weakness In other branches, while an Improved demand In reported In the linen making ' concessions. Shipments of footwear from eastern shops continue on a large scale, comparing fa vorably with the movement a year ago, which was considered exceptionally heavy. Further sales of heavy goods for winter wear are reported and shipments of fall sl-oes are tardy. The amount of business already placed assures activity at the fac tories for some time and buyers have paid higher prices for calf boots. 'Most varie ties of sole leather and beltlna butts are weaker, while other divisions of the mar ket are sustained by liberal purchases, partly for export. ' Hlaes are dull and weak, with the larcer buyers out of the market, and as the season advances tne quality deteriorates. Mills In New England are preparing to shut down on account of the fuel shortage and tne market ror goods la strong before sup plies are already limited. Jobbing sales are fully up to the average for the season's and collections sre satisfactory snd uncer tain, aa the future tends to restrict under takings. Conclusion of the opening pur chases of woolens has brought a quiet mar ket for spring weights, and there Is only a moderate demand for heavy goods for quick delivery. Complaints are still heard as to the delay in the movement of sum pie pieces. Failures for the week numbered 246 In the United Slates, against 231 last year, and 21 Ir. Canada, compared with 34 a year ago. WEEKLY CLEAHINQ HOUSE) TABLE. Summary of Business 'Transacted by x . the Associated Banks.

Coal dealers in South Omaba are begin ning to worry about where tbey are going to find coal enough to fill ordcra already on the books. One dealer said yesterday aft ernoon to a Bee reporter that there was not a pound of anthracite coal In South Omaha that bad not been sold. The same might be eald of bituminous coal for the reason tbat shipments from the west have practi cally been shut off and southern shipments delayed. Many property ownert bought coal from local dealers In the fore part of the summer., but there has been no delivery to speak of and consequently many hard coal stoves and furnaces are being run on hot air and kind ling wood these days. One dealer was for tunate enough to get In ono car of anthra cite yesterday, but this only provided for a few customers. With the end of the strike In Missouri the coal dealers here look for shipments of soft coal from now on, but they do not ex pect any anthracite for some time to come. Those who have hard coal stoves and fur naces will have to make a change of grates and bum soft coal unless there la a speedy change In the conditions. Labor Society F.leela Officers.
