CHURCH PROTESTS LICENSE BEFORE DISTRICT COURT Rev. W. E. Todd and Home of His Members Oppose the Neber Saloon. An effort is being made, in district court before Judge Troup to get thrown out the license granted Charles Neber toconduct a saloon at 2229-31 Leavenworth street.

Todd, and members of the Third Presbyterian church. When the board came to vote on the question two members sidestepped, two voted In the affirmative and one In the negative. A. W. Jefferls and W. W. 81a baugh, attorneys for the opponents of the license, assert that a license granted by only two affirmative votes will not stand. J. P. Breen represented Neber, the sa loon keeper, before the board and la still engaged In the ease. Little Boy Loses His Sight, but Not His Nerve Son of Sr. C. 0. Bobinson Goes to State School Determined to Become a Writer. "One hundred more blind children of Ne braska will be given training at the school for the blind at Nebraska City, there being over one hundred now In the Institution, since Superintendent Abbott has taken hold and greatly enlarged and bettered the facilities at the school," said Dr. C. O. Robinson, who returned from Nebraska City Sunday, where he. entered his little boy as one of the students under Mr. Abbott The caae of the little Robinson boy Is peculiar. Up to a short time ago his eyes showed no symptoms of weakness. Grad ually they began to fall and the little fellow is now totally blind. But that has not dampened his ambition. He Is deter mined to learn even with the handicap of blindness and says he will be a newspaper man or writer some day. Though but 10 years of age he has written some com positions which would be a credit to a much older boy and better than most people ever write. "The school has been run too econom ically," said Dr. Robinson. "The state of Nebraska appropriates money for these Institutions Intending that it shall be used to give out unfortunate, children training not surpassed by any similar institutions In the country. The people of Nebraska are generous with appropriations and while they would not stand for waste. It seems to me such schools Bhould not be run with the Idea of turning back a large sum Into tjie treasury and depriving the children of things they need. The school at Nebraska City is now in excellent condition and when citlsens who have been keeping their children at home find out what an ideal institution Superintendent Abbott is mak ing for tnc Hate, they will send their boys and girls to l.!m. 1 believe there Hre more than 100 in the state who should be at Nebraska City."

' ELEVEN CARLOADS- OF WOOL that Much Has Reached Omaha Since Saturday, More Coming. PRICES ABE ON THE UP SCALE Growers "hipping to Local Pleat Are Golaa- to Hold Oat for Twenty Flva or Twentr-SIs Cents Per Toaad. Eleven carloads of Wyoming wool have arrived at the plant of the Omaha Wool and Storage company since Saturday morn ing and more has been shipped. The prices of wool have a decided tendency to ad vance and there every Indication th.it those who store In Omsha for a few months will reap Urge profits' Growers shipping to Omsha are going to hold out for 16 or 2i cents. The wsrehouse In Chicago Is not com pleted snd Is for stockholders only, which leaves the average wool growers out in the dark. Omaha bankers sre msking the ssme terms as lsst yesr, which were "all the money you need with wsrehouse cer tificates ss collateral at market rates." Arrangements have been made by the managers of the Omaha wsrehouse to In sure the wool placed In storsge; the rates for warehouse facilities are lower than elsewhere, snd It coats growers 2 cents per hundred less to ship to Omaha and then forward to the east when the clip Is sold than it does to send the wool to Chicago for storsge and forward it from there. Wool dealers and manufacturers are look ing for the top of the wool boom. It does not appear that the high price has yet been reached. The growers who contracted at 15 and 18 cents early In the season are now delivering for that price, while dealers In Boston are selling the wools In advance of their arrival for 21 to 26 rents per pound. Chance at Million Pounds. The Omaha company has received in formation that two of the largest individual clips in Montana aggregating some 1.000,000 pounds each, could have been bought for 22 cents per pound. This week 23 cents per pound wss offered by wire snd refused. As 24 cents per pound wss paid last week for the Hervio clip In Montana It Is thought that little if any more good wool will be secured for less than 24 cents. From 14 to 24 cents are the ruling prices at both Casper and Rawlins. One authority estimates that the landed scoured prlcer lnr Boston of wools bought In Wyoming, Montana and Idano will reach' 70 to 75 cents and that buyers will have to get 80 cents per pound when selling the scoured product to get out with a profit. The wool growers are going to make money this year and those who store In Omaha are going to make mors money. Withnell Urges Appropriation Building Inspector Sayi if Council Will Not Finance Him His Hands Are Tied. Dilapidated and unsafe structures In Omaha will be allowed to stand and con tinue a menace to occupants or passersby and remain eyesores unless the council will give City Building Inspector Withnell sn appropriation enabling him to tear them down. The council neglected to appropriate at the beginning of the year any money for this purpose and tne building Inspector's hands are tied. He says there are many old shacks in the city that ought to be raxed immediately, but he cannot order them demolished because he hss no money with which to do the work In case the owners refuse to do it themselves. In other years he has had an appropriation to work with and wherf the owner of a condemned building refused to raze It, the ' building inspector has stepped In and done It. "This department cannot be run on wind," said Mr. Withnell, "and the first thing- the new council will be asked to do will be to vote us an appropriation. 1 am going to ask for S3,00, and this will en able us to get rid of about lnO buildings which are In a dangerous condition. The cost of razing dilapidated buildings is taxed against the realty and eventually the money will all be returned to the city."
