SALOON KEEPERS PUT ON LID
I tcide to Oloie at Midnight Eaturdav for
Ssmainder sf the Tear.
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,

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

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

Just so much greater value. Eastern cap

the west Is the safest place In the world
for the investment of money, for the re
turn , Is sure. Iands have doubled and

last' two or three years, and still the
land Is cheap, (when It Is considered what

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

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,

Draw poker has been rightly charged
with wrecking home, with murdering
sleep, with taking the bread from the

Draw poker is a game for students of

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

when she show it to you and you gues
it is some famous actress.
