"If Governor Sheldon would Just find an excuse for calling a special session of tha legislature, there would either be no Dun- day closing law for stores or it would be amended to such an extent that It would be red Instead of blue." : - This Is the opinion expressed by several state representatives from Douglas county who have given the , subject only small consideration, because ... there will be no session of 1908 and some of the present representatives may not return may net desire to return to the state house. F. C, Best, one of the state representatives, said: "If the Sunday closing law proves to be a hardship from the outcome of tha test cases. I would certainly e one ot the first ones to ask for Its repeal if a special aesaion of the legislature was called next spring- for one purpose or. another. "But as I understand it tha.law 1b simply bring enforced now aa a matter of retalia tion and on a demand of the liquor dealers who believe they- are being pressed by another element. The whole agitation goes back further than tha development of the past few weeka and I have my personal opinions as to the exact cause of the present trouble. "But there Is no necessity for such a law as will not permit a man to work If he is satisfied. It Is someone else coming In and telling him he is not satisfied. .Most of the men who work on Sunday, commonly known as the first day of the week, secure their rest on other days. There is a change of shifts, as Ht were, and some who are busy all day Sunday do not put In a greater number of hours than those who rest on the first day. One day ought to be as good as another for physical -rest, sometimes one day Is better than another because it ralna. I do not believe in anyone Inter fering with a man who la satisfied to work Sunday." Dodgi Also for Chance la Law. N. P. Dodge, another representative. aald: I would certainly favor the amendment of the law which forbids men, women and children gettlhg out into the open air on Sunday and taking all the recreation which they can get. I do believe there are some things which are unnecessary and that class of labor should, be forbidden for tha sake of humanity, for the good of tha em ployes of stores and shops which do not keep open from necessity. As for playing golf, sporting, hunting, fishing, shooting. going for drives in carriages or automo biles. I am in favor of them. I am In favor ot all kinds of decent Sunday recreation and' would vote for the amendment or any law which would tend to prevent freedom of men and women who need the exercise. But conditions adjust themselves. I be lieve this agitation will adjust Itself. There are many stores open Sunday which are entirely unnecessary." Others take the same view of the Sun day law. One representative, who did not desire to be quoted, said that what was good for a country town on Sunday might not be good for a city, and there' are necessities in a metropolitan place aa Omaha Is, which would not be excusable under such a plea In a country town, but tha law should apply to all alike and be so adjusted as to suit tha needs of tha city. Sunday la observed In the country cities and towns to a great extent without tha provisions of a law. Test af tha Law." Tha present Sunday breaking law ot Ne braska, enacted many years ago. Is as fol lows: CHAPTER XXII Miscellaneous Offenses. 66 Sec. 241. (Sabbath breaking.) It any person of the age of It years or upward nail be found on the first day of tha week, commonly called Sunday, sporting, rioting, quarreling, hunting, nailing or shooting, ha or she shall be fined In a sum Dot exceeding $JtL or be confined in the county Jail for a, terra not exceeding twenty dsye, or bdth. at the discretion of tha court. And If any person of the ago of 14 years or up. mard shall be found on the first day of I tie The Omaha Ministerial union unanimously adopted a resolution Monday morning at Its meeting in the Toung Men'a Christian association endorsing the action of public officials for closing the Arcade. " Rev. J. W. Conley of the First Baptist church read an elaborate paper upon the "Relation of Christian Science to Blblcal Christianity. Following the presentation of the paper the subject was discussed. At the opening of the meeting, which was largely attended, several new members were Introduced and welcomed. A brief report on cltjr missions work was submitted. The executive committee ubmitted a verbal report through Chairman McDowell relative to an Investigation of the methods for establishing mission Sunday schools In the outlaying districts and places where they wer needed and recommended that a committee of five be appointed to look up the matter and report Its findings at the next meeting of the Union. The thanks of MIbs Magee to the aBsocIa tlon were extended for the assistance of the Tnlon during the season. President I O, Balrd of the St. Mary'B Avenue Congrega tional church announced the table of as signments for city and gospel mission work was now about exhausted, and he asked that 'volunteers signify their acceptance of assignments for the winter season, par tlcularly for Saturday and Sunday even ings. , ANOTHER MURDER TRIAL ON Edward Smith, Santa Omaha Nearro, Faces Jnry for KIlHa Charles SInBletoa. Edward Smith, a South Omaha negro, charged with killing Charles Singleton. another negro In a quarrel over 25 cents, was placed on trial before a Jury In crimi nal court Monday morning. The lnforma tlon against Smith Is for murder In the first degree under which the extreme pen alty is 'hanging. According to the evidence for the state Smith and Singleton had been shooting crap In a pool hall at W12 N street. South Omaha, and Smith had won 85 cents. Thl angered Singleton who picked the money up off the pool table and threw It on tha floor. AH but "5 cents of It waa recovered and Smith demanded that Singleton make a-ood this amount. Singleton refused and after a quarrel. It is asserted, Bmlth wen to hln room got a pair of shoes, which he pawned for a revolver and Bhot Singleton as he Was standing In front or the pool halL Smith denies some of the material points in this story and asserts he did At shooting In self defense. Cost of Feeding; Prisoners. Under Shsriff McDonald 39 cants par day per parson, less S cents for sntrplies. Bet cost to county, 34 eents. ' TJnder Plan of Sherj ff-elect Brallcy 19 cants psr day par parson. Saving to county in year, approximately $.1,003. E. F. Brailey, sheriff-elect, was the low bidder for the feeding of 'county prisoners In th4 contest for the contract which closed at noon Monday, when six hMs were opened. Mr. Brailey s price was 19 cents per day for the meals provided In schedule No. 1, and JS cents a day under schedule No. '2. These figures disclose that It will cost the county very little more than one-half to feed Its prisoners under the contract system than It has heretofore under the system whereby the sheriff provides the feed at a stated stipend. Sheriff McDonald has bten receiving 1 cents a day per prisoner for inala and supplies. Of thlB 6 cents was figured for supplies, leaving 34 cents for meals. I'nder Mr. Bralley's bid the amount will be re duced to 18 or 19 cents, depending on which schedule the commissioner's decide to adopt. It Is roughly estimated the county will gave $5,000 a year under the new plan. McDonald Deputies Are Illah. Another Interesting feature of the bkVllng we.s that George B. Stryker and A. C. Harte, both deputies under Sheriff Mc Donald, and who are thoroughly familiar with the expense of feeding the prisoners, both submitted bids, the former for 20 cents a day, and the latter for 21.4 cents under one schedule and 21 cents under the other. Other bidders were P. J. McNamara, who bid 24 cents unQer schedule No. 1 and 10 cents under schedule No. 2; George E. Kay, 25 cents under schedule No. 1 and 2, with a promise that prisoners who did not eat meat on Friday could have fish with out additional expense, and Mrs. W. H. Shoop, who bid K cente a day under each schedule. Mr. Harte bid 12.5 cents per meal for juvenile andnsane prisoners and Stryker 9 cents for the same. The others did not submit bids for these two classes, who are served three meals a day Instead of two. Bids, were also opened for grading a sec tion of Center street road and for furnish ing county supplies for the coming year. Eight bids were submitted for the grading contract, Chrl.1 Noreen being low at 11.7 cents. The ThlOn Faclfic Steam Bakery company was low on bread for the county hospital at 3.14 cents per pound loaf. The other bids were more complicated and were referred to the county auditor to tabulate. All the bids. Including those of Jail feeding will be let. probably at the next meeting of tha board. One complication arose In the opening of the Jail feeding bids owing to the fsct the specifications did not require a certified check for 50. Sheriff-elect Brailey did not Include a certified checR in hts bid, but the board decided to receive the bid -without the check Inasmuch as It was not required in the specification.

He continued In this position until 1SSS, when he engaged In ex tensive mining operations In the west. These operations were not very successful.

Mrs. Balbach died several years ago. During his residence In Omaha Mr. Bal- barh was always regarded as one of lts foremost and most progressive cltlrens. The permanent road fund has practically been exhausted by the- work done this summer, according to an Informal report by Deputy County Clerk Dewey.. There Is now S19.189.20 In the fund, hut It will be covered by work already done on the Flor ence, Leavenworth, West Q and Military roads. During the year the board has spent practically $105,000 building permanent roads and as a result eleven and one-half miles have been paved. This Includes four and one-half miles on the Florence road. one mile oil the Leavenworth road, three and one-half miles on West Q street and two miles on Military avenue and half a mile on Center street. While the fund is depleted it does not mean work for the coming year will be any less than It has been In the last year.

A -large crowd was assembled in the court room and many soldiers from Fort Crook were present, which made Fauca a little ner vous, as he thought some violence might be attempted.
