fio Qaestlnsi af Navlaablllty.
. - Vnlted States "Marshal W. P. Warner
aald to talk about whether the Missouri
was navlgablo or not waa the next thing
to "rot." as It waa known to be navigable
and he remembered when four and five
boats, carrying BOO ta 600 tons of freight,
passed his Dakota City home every morn
ing on tha way up the' river.
, President William U Yetter of the Com
mercial club said he would accompany the
delegation, believed It to be going "
.mission which meant much to the north
west and that great credit was cue the
Omaha Real Estate exchange for the active
work dona in curing the delegation.
Hanry T. Clarke, now . called the vice
admiral of the Omaha fleet, said he would
Introduco resolution, at the Bloux City
congress asking that the government es
tablish a achool . of engineers at Omaha
to train young men In the business of
handling the rivers, aa he understood that
the government did not have engineers
to do the work required if a large appro
priation' was secured.
Charles A. Dickson of Bloux City spoke
about the delegation coming to his city
Wednesday and extended a cordial In
vitation to all Omahans, assuring them
that there would be plenty of room for
all. Rooms have been reserved at the
West hotel as headquarter for the Omaha
delegation and it will go to that hotel
from the train.
LICENSE RETURNED UNUSED
Italian Daes ! Explain, "Imply
' !a tbe IHerrlaae Did Not
Take Place.
Last. Wednesday Ignacy Konau of South
Omaha went to the court house and took
out a license to wed Jencffa Polohelka,
daughter of Joseph Polohelka, also of
South Omaha. Monday morning Konau
sadly brought the license back and gave It
ta License Clerk Furay.
."Not need license now," he said sadly.
His face waa tha picture of despair. Bo
great waa the change since Wednesday
that Mr. Furay did not recognize the
voung man at first.
. ."What's . the matter? Won't she havo
youT" he asked finally,.
But all Konau vouchsafed was an Hal
Ian ahrug of tha ahoulders. Ilia eyes were
on the floor. It waa explained that his
money could not be returned to him, but
ha said he didn't want the money. All he
eared about, he aald, was to have the
"paper" show that he had not wedded
Jeneffa. Leading questions as to some
other woman In the case or suggestions
Of possible tragic threatening of the
gleaming stiletto of a rival had no effect
In. penetrating the atmosphere of gloomy
reserve which surrounded Ignacy Konau.
And at last : he stuck his hands in the
pockets of his cordury trousers and walked
Sadly away. .
GIRL, MAY ' PICK HER HOME
Betacet la Ciivea That Frlvllese by
tke Javealle Court Before Which
Whe Appears Twice.
. The case of Bridget was In the juvenile
court again Monday. .Bridget Is a girl of
fifteen summers and of remarkable facul
ties. Tha Juvenile authorities took her
from .the. hovel where her mother lived
mora than two years Ago, and because
of her remarkable mental qualities and
personal , appearance they were able to
place her In an elegant hem where Bridget
might have grown up with all the advan
tages of rhualo lessons,' matinees and per
haps boarding school.
But Bridget did not like It and she ex
pressed ' her, dinllke In the virile manner
which has made her different from the
pther children. When her protests did no
good she demanded and then the court
sent her hack to her mother's shack. A
letter waa read in court Monday from
Bridget In which she says she doesn't Ilka
her present home and "positively cannot
remain here'. Judges 1 -really must find an
other place 1 --
Bridget -la ta havo the privilege of try
ing to find a home that aulta her. The
court baa given her a trial In homes of
(he finest and tha poorest quality.
Bridget Is extremely bright and it Is her
ambition ta study for the ministry.

Ministerial Union Will Share in

favors Carry! a San day Observance
Litigation to tfaprema Conrt of
the Stat for a. Final
Haling.
A tommlttrn nf seven on social service
Till appointed ar the Omaha ministerial
union meet Ins; Monday morning, to look
after municipal sffalrs. It was explained
that one of the first efforts of this com
mittee should be to have a brief filed with
the suprema court in the Sunday closing;
cattes.
The committee appointed by tha executive
commute consists of Rev. B. F. Fellman,
chairman; Kev. F. W. Lravltt, Rev. N. H.
Burdlck, ,Rev. M. U Melllrk. Rev.. J. F.
Poucher, Rev. D. R. Tumbull and Rev. H.
J. Klrschsteln.
In the matter of holding; a big- mission to
be conducted by Dr, Chapman in 1908, tha
committee reported that it favored the plan
but thought the ministerial union should
hot act in such a large undertaking with
out the suppoit of the laymen and it was
decided to arrange for some large meeting
of the laymen to get their views on the
question and to have them back up the un
dertaking. It was' also decided to hold
special meetings in all the churches during
Easter week. ,
Superintendent Ritchie of the Anti-Saloon
league asked for tha support of the min
isters Id his work.
Philosophy of Prayer.
. Considerable discussion arose over ' what
was pronounced a Warned dissertation on
"The rtillosophy of Prayer." by Rev. Fred
erick T.' Rouse, pastor of First Congre
gational church. "Wa must givs up the
idea of magic In the realm of faith," said
Mr. Rouse. "Faith and prayer and relig
ious experience ar as much subject to the
laws of the infinite and are aa regular and
finlt and orderly In their working as are
mechanics and chemistry. Faith powers
are as natural and eternal as the powers
of gravity, though for the present lea un
derstood. W must 'give up the opinion
that Certain faith powers were let out of
heaven for a brief period about the days
of the apostles and then withdrawn, like
a return ball. Psychlo facts re eternal.
Prayer must conform to law. What men
frequently ask for Is that two and two may
not make four. It Is said the csar of Rus
sia is a devout man. lie prays for a con
tinuation of his autocratic power. Jle
might as well pray that gravity may pull
upwards. It must have tune to act tb
same aa any other' fore. '. ' '
Tha Central Labor union BUfi4 tbe
Ministerial union that no representatives
of that body had been attending tha
Central union meetings. It developed that
the matter of electing delegates to the
Central Labor union had been overlooked
at the last election, so Dr. J. W, Conley,
Rev. -J. M. Both well and Rev. J. W.
Leavltt were elected.
