MAYOR WILL CLOSE TOE CITY
'Accedes to Demand for Eigid Observ
ance of Sabbath Lawi.
t ALL MUST GO INTO EFFECT
Vlllfiilia XI lit Set la Tenth ef le
ccrabrr, dune Day When Screens
Fall from All of tbe
Saloons.
Waiving his right to five days' grace.
Mayor Dahlman has decided to comply
with the demand of Charles K. Fields and
; iMua a proclamation for the rigid enforce
ment 'of the Sunday observance law as con
tained In section Ul. chapter 23, of the
Criminal Code of Nebraaka, which reads:
If any person of the age of 14 years or
upward shall be found on the first day of
the week, commonly called Sunday, sport
In, rioting, quarreling, hunting, fishing or
Shooting, he or she shall be fined In a
rum not emcet-dlng 120. or be confined In
the. county jail for a term not exceeding
twenty days, or both, at the discretion of
the court. And It any pereon of the age
of 14 years or upward shsll be found on
the first day of the work, commonly called
fkinday, at common labor fwork of neces
' rfcty end charily only excepted! he or she
Alial! be fined In a sum not exceeding $5
nor less than $1: providing nothing herein
'nontalned In relation to common labor on
the first day of the week, commonly called
Bundav. shall be ronetrued to extend to
those who conscientiously do observe the
. Seventh day of the week as the Sabbath,
nor to prevent families emlgmtlng from
i traveling, watermen from landing their
v passengers, superintendents or keepers of
toll bridges or toll gates from attending
and superintending the same, or ferrymen
from conveying travelers over the water,
or persons from moving their fiimllles on
amen days or to prevent railroad com
panies from running neoesHary trains.
But the mayor will not centent himself
with abiding simply by this statute; he
will Include In hi proclamation a sum
mary of the various laws which he thinks
eotne under his jurisdiction. At any rate
1 he figures that by the time the thing It
through ' with Omaha wHf be bottled up
ten times worse than Schley had the Span
ish fleet In the Cuban waters, giving to
ths clttsens a repetition of New England's
blue laws.
Asks for legal Light.
Monday morning the mayor wrote a let
ter to the legal department in which he re
quested the city attorney to furnish htm
with a statement showing just how far his
Jurisdiction extends over the laws of the
state and to give him a list of the ordi
nances which may be affected by the order.
As soon as this has been received he will
formulate bis order. On this subject he
says: '
' "Now' that the terms of the Sackett law
have been Invoked I have no alternative
but to enforce all of the laws governing
Sunday observance and such orders as
may bo brought to my attention. I have
no use for half way measures. Either the
mayor should have some discretion or he
should have none and It seems as though
under the laws of Nebraska he has none.
This business of being called upon to en
force speclflo laws Is unnecessary when the
situation Is understood, and to save others
the trouble of studying to find out where
I am falling In my duty I have put the
matter up to the legal department. When
it has acted I will know just what laws
the city's lawyers think I should be ex
pected to enforce under a strict construc
tion of the law. If this list doesn't aul the
rltlsens if It is not broad enough all they
will have to do Is to tell me and I'll sea
that the list Is made long enough to cover
every thine.
"I don't want to do this, but I have
nothing to say about it. There Is the law
Mid there are the men clamoring for Its
enforcement. I never yet shirked from a
duty and I'm not going to do it now, no
matter how much it displeases me."

UNCLE SAM T0SUE RAILWAY
Wir Department Wants Union I'a
rdflc to Par for Damage from
Overflow.
It baa been decided by the War depart
ment to ask the attorney general to bring
suit against the Union aacWo Railroad
company to recover damages sustained by
the government to the butldlnga and prop
erty stored at the quartermaster depot
in Omaha, caused by tbe overflow
of water during- rain storms In July and
August this year. It Is stated that the
overflow waa made possible by the filling
up of a creek along the tracks of the rail
road by that company, which cast the
water during the heavy storms over the
' depot grounds, damaging buildings, roads
and supplies. It is held by the quarter
master department that the tracks of the
railroad company, as suw existing, have
the effect during heavy rains of collecting
, tbo water and discharging It in bulk over
the depot grounds, the provision for carry
ing the water under the tracks being in-
- adequate for that purpose.
X board of survey was recently con
vened to ascertain the -amount of damages
resulting to the depot from the overflow
and fixed the amount at $3,100. The Union
Paclrto holds that suit should be brought
against the city for the alleged damages
and has up-to-date brought against ths
city for the alleged damages and has up
to this time refused to make settlement
with the government.
' Ma word bas yet been received at the
uffloe af the United States district at
torney In conference to the matter, but it
wUJ be taken up immediately upon notl-
1 fi cation from tha Department of Justice to
do so.

standpoint I can speak of this from the
fact that I have lived in Chicago all my
lite and have seen many sections annexed
to Chicago, including the town of Lake,
which. I believe. Is about equal to condi
tions of South Omaha. I think the people
of South Omaha will make no mistake tn
voting In favor of annexation. Yours

William McKenna and Gordon Davy, 13
and 10 yeara old, respectively, were before
the Juv nils court Monday charged with
stealln,. chickens. They admitted taking
part In twa raids on their neighbors'
chicken yards, but each declared the other
led In the assault.
"Who got the chicken?" asked the court.
"He did.", said Willie, pointing to Gor
don. .
"He did." said Gordon, pointing to Willie,
-Who killed itr asked the court.
"Willie pulled Its head off," said Gordon.
- 'lie put his foot on it and pulled its head
off." said Willie.
"Who furnished the match to lightt tbe
tire to cook the chicken T" again aaked the
Judge. "He did," said tha boys tn chorus,
each pointing to ths other.
Judge Kennedy found they were both
guilty of stealing chickens, but did not at
tempt to say which was the more guilty
of the two. They both apologized to the
owner of the chickens and were allowed to
go home. '
