Forced down. Everett aenue to the

in an endeavor to aave the heart of the

Up to this time the fire had been con

In the Injunction proceedings brought by
the state. On the other hand It la believed
the express companies win not only put
In, effect the rate aa specified in the
Sibley' law, but will make no effort to
have dissolved the temporary Injunction.
This belief Is based on, he ground that
before the injunction will be dissolved, the
express companies will have to show Just
how much mc tiey they pay to their em
ployes; how much to the railroads and to
their offlcera; how much money they have
Invested In fact lay bare their entire busi

It la arguedIf this Information come

the express companlca are nothing more
or less than an Inside wheel of the rail

of the companies In other tatcs In secur

unfavorable legislation. By obeying the
temporary Injunction Issued and carry

not be gone into, as it would be, should
the rase be fought.

Kaloon Men to Appeal.
Lincoln aaloonkeepers are in hot water
because the exctae board lias ruled that
only twenty-five saloons will be licensed
the coming yesr. There are forty-three
saloons In Lincoln and therefore some one
has to lose out. The O street saloons ss
far eaat as Nineteenth are already doomed,
but where the twenty-five fortunate liquor
dealers will be located la not known.
There Is considerable talk that the liquor
men will appeal to the courta to prevent
the excise board from arbitrarily fixing
the number, but the outcome Is not yet
In Bight.
People generally seem to be very well
satisfied with the election and the action
of the excise board Isn't turning tha
screws down a little tighter and it Is not
likely any appeals to the court will re
ceive much encouragement from the
citizens a a whole. Representative of
the Anti-Saloon league have .another card
up their sleeves, which they msy play
any time the anti-treat law. It I figured
that If this law Is enforced In Lincoln
moat of the saloons will have to go out
of business and that very shortly, for the
drinkers far out number the spenders.

IN THREE DEATHS
Jo., "apposed to -Contain Whisky Is
I nder Investigation.
YORK, Neb.. April 12.-(8pecial.) When
Carl Krah,, a retired farmer and a pioneer
settler of southern Tork county, died at
his home in South Tork, It wss believed
at the time that his death occurred by
reason of old age and grip. When his son-in-law,
Herman Schmidt, died a few days
later In the same manner, a quiet hiveatl
gatlon wa made and It wa learned that
In the cellar of the Krah home was a
Jug of what was supposed to be alcohol
or whisky. .
Carl Krah was one of the good old
fashioned German, who from infancy
drank intoxicating liquors, and thought
nothing of It. Tork being a temperance
city, he was obliged to order what he
drank by the jug, expressed to him. from
distilleries and wholesale liquor houses.
After the funeral of Carl Krah, his son
in-law, Herman Schmidt, a young farmer
living east of McCool Junction. in this
county, his wife and John Krah, a son,
are said to have discovered or knew of
the jug In the cellar, and a few days after
while at the home they drank from the
aame jug. John Krah and Mrs. Schmidt
did ' not drink a sufficient amount to
have serious effect, but shortly after Her
man Schmidt was taken quite ill, and every
symptom waa the same as -that of Carl
Krah, who-died very auddenly.
In a 'very few houra Herman Schmidt
died in the same way and a coroner's Jury
is now in session at the Schmidt home,
Investigating the causa of -death. V
A sample of the contents of the jug has
been sent to the State university chemist,
who will make and report the . result of

CHURCH HOLDS ON TO PASTOR
Third Presbyterian Befuici to Accept
Resignation of Dr. Cherry.
MATTER AWAITS PRESBYTERY
Minister Who I .Cordially tan
naended by His Teople Is I ncer-
tola aa to tilm Coarse
of Action.
The cotigregstlon of tfie Third Tresby
terlan church yesterday morning de
clined to concur in the resignation of the
pastor. Rev. J." B. Cherry. Ph. D., and a
formal resolution presented at the reQueef
of Dr. Cherry.' asking tha rresbytery to
dissolve the pastoral relationship wa
voted down by a Vote of I to 19. Friends
of Dr. Cherry ssy that the vote against
accepting his resignation wonld have been
even larger than It was Had not Illness
and absence from the city prevented oth
ers attending the meeting who would have
been opposed to even considering his res
ignation for a minute. After the meeting
Dr. Cherry said he could not announce
what course he would t.ake until after
the meeting of the presbytery, May 2,
at Tekamah. -
While the Christian Benevolent associa
tion wsa not mentioned t8 the discussion
preceding the action or by the pastor In
his announcement, It ia said to be either
directly or Idlrectly responsible for the
differences In the church that led 16 the
resignation. An attempt "was made last
fall to organise a "household" of the
order in the church, but Dr. Cherry did
not take to It kindly and it has never
prospered.
Owing to the fact that Dr. W. O. Henri,
founder of the association, was formerly
superintendent of the Third Presbyterlan
Sunday school, some of the members of
the church thought the association should
be supported by the church. Dr. Cherry
opposed it because he believed it tended
to divide the congregation Into two fac
tions and to take support that should go
to the church. (
At the meeting It was .said that, some
of the opposition members were tryln.gio
force the resignation of Pr. Cherry by re
ducing the church budgei ao low the pas
tor's salary would have to be reduced.
'The congregational meeting was held
after the regular church services and Dr.
Cherry left the room while the congrega
tion discussed the resignation. Most of
those who spoke expressed themselves
warmly in support of the pastor, declar
ing he had worked harder than anyone
else for the upbuilding of tho church.
The vote on the resolution was taken by
written ballot and was secret.
Before the final vote waa taken Dr.
Cherry made an earnest plea to tho mem
bership to take such action as would best
(conserve the Interests of the church
without considering his Interests In the
matter.
BOOSTING TRIPS PAY WELL
Antorat Hare a. Banquet and Talk
Over Their accesses 1.
tie Past.
"I tan not understand why every gov
ernor of Nebraska should not stand up
for Omaha a well as for every other city
of 'the atate, for the Interests of Omaha
are the Interests of the state, and the in
terests of the state are Omaha's Interests,"
aid Governor Sheldon at the Trade exten
sion dinner given Saturday night ac the
Omaha Commercial club.
Nearly 100 guest, gathered around tle
banquet board to discuss former trade ex
cursions and to lay foundations for future
ones into the territory tributary to Omaha.
A. W. Jafferls, wss t'oastmaster and the
occasion waa made a sort of a reunion of
the members of th Commercial club and
others who went on the long excursion to
the Pacific northwest last summer when
the representatives of Omaha were enter
tained by the governor of six states.
Although but three set toast were on
tho program, Mr. Jefferl called upon a
cor of "booater" to express their view
on ths matters under discussion. Among
these were E. Buckingham, Joe Kelly,
Clark Colt, J. H. Taylor, Charles Babcock,
General J. C. Cowln, Pope Fleming, C. E.
Johannes, W. E. Shepherd, Harry A. Tukey
and Victor Rosewater,
After the banquet and the toasts six new
members were taken Into the order of
Amocats, an organization formed on the
western trip. Charles Robinson, Robert Z.
Drake, Frank Haskell, Will Wigman, Jo
seph Barker and Victor Rosewater were
taken over the bumps. Governor Sheldon
administering the oath. This part of the
program furnished considerable amusement
to the guests of the evennlng.
Telia of Flrat Excursion.
W. S. Wright then told tha Amocats
they had alwaya been- a source of admira
tion to him. "Personally I have a great
regard . for the business man of Omaha,
who is a very good fellow, especially when
he goes on a trade excursion. He concede
to others equal rights to his awn. He has
all,, tho qualifications in ha composite
which go to make up a man."'
Mr. Wright told of the first trade ex
cursion, which left Omaha In June In 1S92,
which waa almost the first trade excursion
which went out from, any city. "One of
the advantages of that excursion was that
It was free and thus differed from some
that followed. The Northwestern paid the
bill for the fifty-five who were out for
three days. Twenty-five of those are In
business In Omaha today and some of the
others have gone from our midst." .
"I don't think any one thing has done aa
much for Omaha as trade excursions. W
met out trade In the 'state and also got
acquainted with each other. Tha first
trade excursion went down Into history.
"St. Paul sent out a trade excursion which
they did not know whether it was a success
or not. They had no band nor quartet or
minstrel show as we did
"We have always enjoyed the trade ex
cursions and hav .received all kind of
advantagea and direct returns. If the
gentlemen in the futurV who handle these
excursions can measure up tp the past Joere
will be no limit to the possibilities."
Into Now Territory.
' Arthur C. Smith aald tie thought the first
trade excursion had gone out from Omaha
in 1887, when the railroads were glad to
send forth such delegations at their own
expense, but since ihat time he said thefv
legislatures had Interfered. "Formerly it
waa the plan to take short excursions, con
suming three or four days," said Mr.. Smith,
"but last year we had the beat we have
ever had and used instead ' three or four
weeks. This year we plan to take a week's
trip into a new country for Omaha trade
excursions. . We will go to the west of
Denver and then over the Sterling division
of th Burlington and ever the Burlington
high Una. It la hoped that a splendid,
representative body of men will again ac
company thla excursion.
"Omaha haa made splendid strides in the
last few years. A-clty must either go ahead
or go hack and If It atanda still It -r going
back. Tha trip Is sure to redound to th
benefit ef all busineaa men. South Omaha
should bo well represented, aa we are
going through . a cattle country and I am
ur no detail will be neglected to snake
tbia a memorable trip."
Victor Roaewater thanked the members
of the club for the weloome they accorded
him and assured them that If It was pos
sible he would be with them on the next
trip. Ho told of the first trde excursion
lie had accompanied when a trip was made
over the newly opened line of tie Burling
ton to Newcastle, Wyo. General Cowln had
told of his connection with the foreclosure
of the t'nlon Pacific snd Mr. Rosewater
remarked that he was glad to find out why
it wsa that General Cowln wa able to be
the first lawyer In Omaha who had trav
eled In an automobile, having set a pace
which I being followed by many of his
tellow Uwyer.
Party Credit to City.
Governor Sheldon said he . thought, the
emblem of ths, Amocats should be a white
rat. Instead of 'a black one, ' as. white wa
an emblem of purity. The governor re
Iterated the atatement he made at the den
laat fall on the return of the -exourslonlaia
that "there never was an excursion of
that kind from any city on which all the
tnembers wero such a credit, to -that city
all the- time as they were 'on that trip."
"1 am , glad to learn there have been
hod results frvm ' that trip," said Gov
ernor Sheldon. "Personally, I never en
Joyed a trip as much In my life, and I
am glad to know the business men of
Omaha are satisfied with the results of
that trade excursion and I am glad to know
you are to give another.
"I would like to cull your attention to
a market within the state to which the
Omaha merchant have not in recent years
been paying any attention, and that Is In
tho matter o furnishing supplies for the
State. I hope for your own benefit snd
for the benefit of the state that the busi
ness men of Omaha will bid in tha future
and they can rest assured they will get
fair treatment.
"Omaha and Nebraska have a greater
future thar we. anticipate. There Is a
movement toward scientific 'arming which
will help us all, and there is irb ressnn
why Omaha should not be a city of SO),000
people Within the next twenty years. I
hope the power proposition will meet with
Success, . and that they will harness the
Loup river and turn the wheels and spin
dle of Omaha by water power.
"We are becoming a manufacturing state
a well as an agricultural community, and
I hpe there will be nothing done when it
come to regulating rate by the state
that will retard the growth of Omaha.
There is no good in tearing down one city
to build up another. I hope Omaha will he
better represented In the future in the
rate hearinga than in the paat. I hope
there will be large delegation come down
whenever any matter which intereata
Omaha I being discussed."
Exearsloas la Own City.
Harry A. Tukey spoke of th local trade
excursions which are to be made to the
leading wholesale houses of Omaha, and
advised all the "business men to look over
Omaha and know their own town to go
Into the outskirts, where thousands of
new homes are being built.
A vote of thanks was extended to A.
L. Mohler, general manager of the Union
Pacific, and to George W. Holdrege, gen
eral mahager of the Burlington, for the
lntereat they had taken In the trade excur

PRIMARY LAW IS HELD VOID
Sooth Dakota Snpreme Coort Object
to Provision HeqalrlnaT County .
Candidate to Pay Piling Fee. ;;
PIERRE, S. D.. April 12.-(Speclal Tele
gram.) In the aupreme court today opin
ion were handed down by Justice Haney
In two cases of great Importance to
every county in this state. One In rela
tion to the primary election law, entitled
Bellinger against McLaughlin, holds the
fee provision of the primary election law
to be unconstitutional ao far aa county
officers are concerned. The cose came up
on appeal from Lawrence county and only
section 19 of the law was tested. While
the court decision does not cover the fee
for filing of certificate of nomination by
state candidate, it doe foreshadow what
action the court will take on that part of
the law when It comes before It next week
in the suit brought by the prohjbitlonlsts.
no formal opinion giving grounds of the
action was prepared, but this will be
handed down later.
The other case was that of the Fremont,
Elkhorn Mlaaourl Valley Railway com
pany against Pennington county. This Is
a esse in which the road restated psyment
of taxes In Pennington county on the
ground that the levy wss In excess of the
J-mill limitation for all county purposes,
wnicn limit was fixed by the legislature
some yeara ago, and haa been more hon
ored In the breach than In the observance
by many counties. The court hold tha
limitation' to be unconstitutional on tha
grounds that in some of the counties of
the state that amount will not provide In
terest and sinking funds on the county
debt, which makes such a limit In viola
tion of the constitution.

DUCKY. BUMPS PA'S PITCHERS
Sioux City Pasted and Founded for
Ten Innings, Getting 16 to 13.
FANS SAW BASE RUNNING GALOEE
fashing- Ip Three n teller., re Made
fiood. for a Time, bnt Hoi-
lenbeck Waa Coyote
Wild.
Ten Innings were required to complete tho
exhibition game of ball at Vinton atreet
park Sunday afternoon, which was finally
won by Sioux City, by tho score of 18 to
13. Fans who fnalntaln they like to aee
lots of hitting and lots of base running,
surely had their fill and then besides it was
a good workout for tho players. What
would otherwise have been a moit Inter
esting game of base ball wa given lift)
by the closeness of the large score snd the
fact that Sioux City came with a ruh In
tho ninth inning- and tied the score. They
won In the tenth.
Pa used three pitchers and Hall showed
clearly that he Is In fine form for in the
three Innings he pitched the Soo made but
one hit and no runs. Then came Mr. Noah
of the Ark fame. He passed four of
Ducky's crew and waa hit safely four time
for a total of seven runs. This did not
matter so much because of the lead Omaha
had but Hollenbeck,- the third pitcher who
was tried out had an off dsy and although
he was hit safely, but five times in four
innnings he passed eleven men and lost the
game by his wildness, at times forcing
men across the piste. He did not seem to
have any control Sunday and at one stage
threw thirteen "balla" without pitching a
atrlke. It looked as though Captain
I Franck could have saved the game by tak
ing Hollenbeck out, but he seemed to think
the big southpaw needed the work so he
left him In to fsce the music. Hollenbeck
seemed to be popular with the fans and
was given the glad hand In spite of his
wildness.
One thing developed and that Is thst
Ducky has quite a ban team for they
fielded well and hit well and some of his
new men are fast on bases.
The same teams will play this afternoon
at Vinton street park. TJie score:
