AT TWELVE TONIGHT DOORS WILL SHUT Meltber Mayor Xor Police t hief Issues Orders, hut Liquor Dealers Art to Avoid Trouble in He neTrlns; Licenses. The "lid" Is to go on agaJn at 12 o'clock tonifht. It was the general understanding among saloon men Saturday morning that they would clone on Sundays beginning to morrow and of their own "volition," to preclude trouble In securing renewal of licenses for 1907. This action is the result . of Governor Mickey's conference Friday afternoon at the Millard hotel with rep resentatives of the Civic Federation and the Fire and Police Commission. Neither .the mayor nor police commissioners will ' give Chief of Police Donahue any orders regarding the matter of . Sunday saloon Closing. The chief of police stated Satur day morning he was acting under orders of the mayor and Fire and Police Commis sioners and was always ready to obey their orders, but as yet had not received ' any orders regarding the closing of saloons on Sunday, leaving a clear Inference he would take no action In the way of ar resting saloon men who violated the Slo eumb law by remaining open on Sunday. ' Oentlemen's Agreement Reached. Attorneys for the' "brewers and saloon; men' had a short conference Saturday morn ing with Mayor Dahlman, and Chief Dooahue. It was reported (hat a "gentle men's agreement" was reached, that the alexin, men would solve the situation by losing tomorrow on the grounds they know there la a Sloeumb law providing for Sunday closing. "' " - i Mayor Dahlman" was outspoken, Saturday morning regarding hi position In the matter. He said: ' , "1 will not give Chief Donahue any order to clyee the saloons of Omaha on Sundays, 66 da 9S Humphreys' Scyenty OeTen Cures Grip and CHIN IN.

New Voik. becaue I believe public sentiment is strongly opposi'.l to micii a com sc. jnu I believe the saloon men would be wise to take heed of the governor' stand Friday afternoon and thus prevent possible trouble In the matter of securing their licenses. My stand in this matter is well known and I dd not intend to withdraw from the stand I have taken. The chief of police receives hi order from me, but In the matter of Sunday saloon closing I, like some Judge of the district court, interpret some laws liberally and to conform with conditions. The mayor I the city's conservator of the peace and chief executive. I further be lieve that if Chief Donahue should fall to arrest saloon men tomorrow for remaining open there would be sufficient public senti ment behind him to prevent hi removal from office should any be Inclined to oust him on that account. I believe the general public interest will be subnerved by not attempting to close the saloon on Sunday." Tilt After the Bla Meeting After the meeting at the Millnrd hotel Friday the mayor and several of the Civic Federation representative had a little dis cussion on the merits of their opposing con tentions. The mayor pointed out that the controversy resulted from a difference of opinion, each side contending It was in the right. Dr. A. B. Somers declared Omaha a city of unusual wlckednes for Its size, while the mayor argued otherwise. Commissioner W. J. Broatch wanted to be excused from saying any more on the sub ject than he ald Friday afternoon. He did ay. however, that the board would not !ve Chief Donahue any orders on the Sunday closing matter, which was exactly in Ihi with the contention of the commissioners at the hearing on October 18. Commission- r George L Miller took' the' same position.' ., The situation now' la, if the saloons re main closed on Sunday the Civic Federa tion ha gained It point without Causing the commissioners to recede from their po sition; but if the saloons open again, then; the Issue will be. hall the commissioner or the mayor, or both, command the- chief of police to arrest violating saloon keepers? NO DEMAND FOR SPINNEY Requisition Kot Asked for President of the Bankers I nlon of the World. The report that requisition had been Is sued by Governor Mickey for the return of Dr. E. C. Spinney of the Bankers' Union of the World from Chicago on a criminal charge is denied by attorneys here who are interested in claims asainst Dr. Spin-, ney and the Bankers' Union. According to the report, M. A. Ha'.l of Omaha had secured the requisition. . Mr. Hall denied Saturday morning that he had ever ap plied for requisition papers. Last Thurs day he was In Lincoln and had a talk with, Insurance Commissioner Pierce and with Deputy Attorney General Thompson, in which they discussed proposed proceedings against Spinney, but no action has been taken yet and those interested are at 111 undecided a to what course they will tak. The charge made against Dr. Spinney is that he filed false, affidavit with the In surance department relating to the Onan. cial condition of the Hankers Union. It is claimed evidence has been found that property listed as belonging to the organ isation did not belong to it at all. There is a number of claimants against the con cern and several of them are threatening criminal proceedings. t. Spinney Is expected in Omaha Mon day as one of tho defendants In a suit brought by the receiver of the order of the Iron Chain of Minnesota against the Bank ers' Union of certain 'of Its pfflcera The Minnesota order was consolidated with the Bankets' I'nion and it is aseerted (aid about 17.000 to the Omaha concern. Claim ants against it secured the appointment of a receiver and are now trying to recover the money alleged to have been paid to Dr. Spinney when the consolidation was ef fected. ?t is a question whether Dr. Spinney would be exempt from arrest or not whllo he 1 in attendance upon the trial. County Judge Leslie In another cane decided ho was exempt from service of summons while attending a case. If a complaint la filed It will probably be through the county attor ney's office. WATER TRANSFORMS WEST Irrigation, Says Senator Warren, Makes Western Nebraska and Wyoming si New World. Senator Wurren of Wyoming arrived In Omaha Saturday to meet hi aon-ln-law. General Pershing, who Is expected to ar rive Sunday from Washington, and will uceonipany the senator; to Wyoming. "Irrigation In the west has made western Nebraska and Wyoming practically a new Aorld," said Senator Warren. "It has done wonders In developing the waste places and turned the one-time desert land ,mo a "veritable garden. This ha caused Immigration to the west to be most phenomenal and given the whole western country a mnrvelous activity. People in .he east have no Idea of the way settler have beeu flocking wtst and begun the Ullage of the soli. The advance In the rice of western lands has been one of the vonders of the age, and still it Is ' all Justified by irrigation and Improved meth od of farming, ' which make the soil of Just so much greater value. Eastern cap italists ate beginning to realize the soil of the west Is the safest place In the world for the investment of money, for the re turn , Is sure. Iands have doubled and ;rebled and Quadrupled in value in the last' two or three years, and still the land Is cheap, (when It Is considered what it can be . made to produce by Judicious methods.

PRAISES , FOR HORSE SHOW Eic Whip. C.rrj Away Gosd Wsrii 'sf fair Treatmeit Hers. ADVERTISES OMAHA AND DRAWS STABLES Reginald Tanderhllt . and W. C. Wntaon Promise to Bring Their Fine Horses to Omaha Neat Fall. i Omaha's position in the .horse how world is established and the. Omaha horse men who have returned from the Chicago show bring nothing but glowing reports of the fine things which are being said about Omaha and the clean how it put up- Ex cept St. Louis. Omaha .had the moat suc cessful show of any on the circuit this fall end it Is the talk of the east. When Presi dent E. P. Peck went to tho Chicago show list week Reginald Vanderbtlt said to Mr. Peck: "I understand Omuha. had one of the cleanest and prettiest show evor given, and you iny count .my horses In for next season, for they and I will b there." This from a man With over thirty show horses is a good starter on the show for next year. W. C. Watson, the millionaire from Bal timore, wiio won most of the p"tses at Kansas City this fall, also was at Chi cago and had twenty-two horses' at tt.e show.. He also spoke . of the' many nice things ha had heard of the Omaha Hon.e show and said he could bo .counted on for Omaha, as he would surely 'end out his homes next fall. ' ' . ' Manager Robert of the Iawrence Jones stable said before leaving Omaha: "I will sing tho "pralsea of the Omaha show wherever' I go, tot H.was one of the cleanest I ever attended, and any one with horses which could win at Omaha can win nt .M.idiHon Square or at the Chicago show." . With thetwi men at the head of -the larg est individual stable In the country sing ing 'the praise of Omaha all over the country, this city I fast taking a. poult ion in the front rank of horse "shows. "That I the best advert islnr a town tan have," said one of the dlrtctw of the show. "When so many are telling 'of the fair treatment they- received at Omaha it make the tx-t kind Of advertising for the city.". . . ; . Tho director have .taken considerable pains to Inquire-from' the merchants who subecrlbe to the horse shows their senti ments as to, the good the show does and whether It pay from an advertising stand point for the city. "Keep the show going by all'means," said one prominent merchant, "for It Is the best thing, the town has in several ways. He aides making the people patronlte the mer chants in preparation for the show in a most liberal way. It gives theusaads an op portunity to commingle and brings large numbers from the' surrounding towns." This is the sentiment heard on all sides. The railroads have compiled a statement as to the people brought In for the last show and while the number la not nearly a great as for Ak-Sar-Jien week, the mer chants suy they had splendid result from those who came. The Union Pacific brought In 4Ssj peoplu.' Uie Burlington 630, Rock Island. Milwaukee, fifty; Northwestern. ", Jdtisourl Pacific. IS,; Wabash. 100 aad the Great Wevtern, .fifty; making a total of :,0tS. The high-class restaurants were filled and the hotels could not accommodate the demand. From an, Omaha standpoint Omaha de rived a vast amount of advertising from the show. The railroads exploited the show most liberally, running display advertls ments in over 400 newspaper of the state. Nebraska Is a horse state as well as Ken tucky and Missouri and the railroad re turns show the people of the state are In terested In the horse. Spencer Borden, the presiding Judge, said on the last night of the horse show: "In all my experiences at horse shows I have never seen a horse show as well ex ploited as was the Omaha show, both by the .newspaper of Omaha and also In sur rounding towns." while In later year the- combined catch of both the American and Canadian aides only amount to 86,000 pounds. Detroit Free Press. LAKE WHITEFISH ALMOST GONE Government Asked te Pro-ride Funds to Prevent Passing- of tho ' Finny Delicacy. That the whiteflsh of the Great Lakes are passing as rapidly from existence a did the millions of bison which at one time swarmed the American prairie i an undlsputable fact, and with the reali sation that with the departure of the whiteflsh Industry the United States gov ernment loses one of its most remunerative industries, and also one of the most val uable food product on the market. It 1 strongly urged that ome remedy be adopted at once. A man prominently connected with one of the government fish hatcheries and who 1 well Informed on the question of fish culture and propagation stated that the one and only successful remedy i to promptly increase the capacity of the various hatcherlea "The government should be willing to expend ten times the amount of money It now does on the propagation of the whiteflsh," said the hatchery man, "be cause the whiteflsh Is the most valuable fresh-water fish known, and even exceed the value of salmon $50 per ton in the eastern markets, while considerable more 1 paid out yearly for the Pacific coast hatcheries. "And then, too," he continued, "30,000 more whiteflsh cgits can be Handled in tb same space taker! by salmon eggs." To Illustrate the seriousness of the Im pending whiteflsh destruction, the follow ing figures, which are correct in every Instance, were given out for publication: The catch of whiteflsh in Michigan in 1 SB 1 was 8,110,000 pounds, while In UOi It fell off to 4.1S7.0U0 pounds. In Lake Krie the catch for 1889 was 1,800.000 pounds, and in 1898 It tame to 2,100,000 pounds. From 189S to 1808 the catch in Ontario decreased from 7.600,000 pounds to 2,895.000 pounds. The total catch of whiteflsh in the Great Lake on both the American and Cana dian sides in 19U4 exceeded $.ou.000 fish, averaging two pounds and a half in weight, and the loss of eggs contained in these fish exceeds 16,000,000.000. In 15)5 the combined hatcheries of the United State and Canada only propagated the egg from Its than 10,000 fish, which 1 altogether Inadequate to overcome the great loss of egg deatroyed by the fisher, men. Lake Michigan alone In 1904 gave up l.OOO.UOO fl.sh. and it Is safe to say that Lake rl provided 1,000,000 of the finny tribe. ' so as to overcome this loss the eggs of fully 76,0(ti flfh should be prop agated each year. A three-pound whitefioh, yields over 000 eggs, but of thea only 80 per cent hatch, and only 4 per cent of these reach maturity that is, 4 years old. Last year the American and CanadUn hatcheries propagated less thsn ?X.0O0,tX fry, while the number of etc In Ah caught was 3R.000.0oC.ON). Forty year ago the catch of whlteflsd in the Detroit rlvcr on the American aide alone exceeded l,Ou0,OuO pounds annually, IN DEFENSE 0FJ3RAW POKER Kentucky's Star-Eyed Goddess Speaks a Friendly Word for tho Gam. H. O. Wells, the peripatetic Briton who has branded .the great American game of draw poker dull, may be merely a cheap bidder for notoriety who take the ob viously untenable posit Inn for the purpose of provoking discussion and drawing at tention to himself. If he is in earnest he Is Hl-lnformed. Many Interesting opinion upon poker have been delivered by the pulpit and the press, but Mr. Well' view is unique, not to say ridiculous. Draw poker has been rightly charged with wrecking home, with murdering sleep, with taking the bread from the mouth of children, with driving the ab stemious to drink and with enough other high crimes to condemn It utterly, but never until now has It been described as dull. Did the fortune of a poker player rest upon his chance of lils drawing three of a kind to beat two pair, or a royal flush to weep the Jackpot from the clutching An ger of the man across the table made reckless by confidence reposed in a full house, draw poker might to truth be only a gambler's trade and a diversion for thick heads. But there is more than the charm of chance in this distinctly American game. More skill is brought Into play than is used by the gamester who take his money upon the turn of the dice or the stock mar. ket or wagers upon the result of horse race. , Draw poker is a game for students of human nature a battle of wlta, in which the man with deuces is not always looted of his lucre -by the man with trays. In the stock market and at the race course men bet upon information, and often upon information that makes the possessor of the "tip" somewhat below the mere gam bler and upon a level with the "sure-thing" man. The honest better upon races Is at tha mercy of crooked owners and Jockeys, sra- . the "'I as well a chance that the horse In an; event "a vain thing for afety" may d hi best and yet not defeat the animal ol a-hom he was master yesterday. The out sider who plays the stock market is at Hit mercy of the elements, the politicians anc "the system." He may see his winnings wiped out by war or pestilence or election results, and can only remain inert, a spec tator of the wreck of his fortunes. Ir games played with dice, when the dice are not loaded and the play Is "square," there I neither triumph of mind over mind, or mind over matter, but merely the opera tions of the laws of chance, which the goddess of fortune often administer in cmtable way. In a game of draw poker, played by gen tlemen, the resources of the diplomat are brought Into play. What was the Ports mouth conference but a game of "bluff," cast upon herolo lines? The successful poker player' capital must consist largely of the quality called "cold nerve," and the ability to mask his own feelings behind im mobile features, and read hi opponent's mind by the light of his eyes or the almost Imperceptible quiver of an eyelash. Herein 1 1 m tt,. f..nlnallnn mart frnm thai nf IliA faro bank or the chuck-a-luck board. Draw poker may be charged with enough sins to damn It utterly, but the man who calls It dull has no more than a rudi mentary knowledge of the game. Louisville Courier-Journal. Reflections of a Bachelor. A girl thinks her photograph i a success when she show it to you and you gues it is some famous actress. There are a good many people In this world who think they are publlc-splrltfd not to kill a man after they have robbed him. Maybe if a woman couldn't squeez through a ferry entrance she would coucede he was a little farther along than plump.
