The ruling Is on a motion filed In behalf
of the breweries to dismiss the appeals
taken by Rev. J. M. Leldy from the grant
of the excise board. Motions to dismiss
the appeals In all these cases were filed
and argued some dfcys ago. The motions
were based on the ground that notice of
appeal was not f Ilea in time by the Anti
Saloon league forces.
Judges Troup and Day hold that in the!
absence of a specific statute the notice of
appeals must be given at once and appeals
taken forthwith. "Forthwith" is inter
preted to mean such reasonable time as
would be necessary to have a transcript
of the record made. This was not done In
the cases at Issue.

In his prayer Rev. Mr, Rous asked

Btelsle for Sqanre Deal.
Rev. Mr. Stelxle said In part:
"Tha most Important thing about tha
labor question is to give the other fellow
a square deal. The American working
nan is the best worklngman In ths world.
Ha produces more than do the working
men In any other part of tha world. He
Is the most highly paid worklngman to be
found anywhere; but compared to what he
produces, ha Is the poorest paid. With
us it Is not so much a question of produc
tion as of distribution. .
"While the labor union does not consti
tute tha labor question, it is, neverthe
less, a very Important part of It. Indeed,
there is do factor In tha labor movement
which is mors Important Just now. The
trades union has frtquently been accused of
Indiscretion and lawlessness, but tha trades
union has not a monopoly of this sort of
thing. Indeed, one need not go very far
back in ths history of the church to find
duplicated practically everything that we
deplore in organized labor today, even
down to tha boycotting and tha alugging.
However, else the charch and labor may
I disagree, iney ai least nave mis nmcn in
common their mutual mistakes.
' Valaa of Trade Valoalam.
"The trades union has certain moral and
ethical values which are rarely appre
ciated. It believes, for instance. In the
abolition of child labor. It stands for
equal pay to men and women for equal
work. It Is helping to wipe out unsani

Christ Had No Pet System.
Nobody can prove from scripture that
Christ was the advocate of any social sys

insist upon a square deal for the church.

This hair sells at several dollars a pound
for tha more costly fur, and a few cents
a pound for the cheaper ones. Of the
high priced furs the seal Is the only one
that Is dyed. Other furs are made In Iml-
trimming. There used to be an Imitation

after the introduction of the electric seal
made from the shorn fur of the cony, the
muskrat seal went out of style.

probably is In greater demand than any
other fur in America today. It being estl-
mated that some 5.000,000 of these animals
annually sacrifice their lives to the de-
mands of the furrier.
The fur trade of North America Is very
large. New York City alone transforming
$15,000,000 worth of raw furs Into $26,000,000
worth of finished product, by the labor
of 6.000 furriers.
Fur making is the oldest Industry of
the world. After ths fig leaf had gone out
of style, Eva concluded that furs would
become her, so tha first pelt was taken
and cured, and thus the world started out
on Its career of fur trapping and manu-

It Is a remarkable thing that more than

nhera silver fox farming might la engaged
In with success by properly equipped men.
The regions embrace all of New England
and tha Blue Ridge. Alleghany and Rocky
mountain coast. One of the most succfs-i-
ful fox breeders In the United States feeds
bis foxes a quarter of a pound of meat

other breeder says that by buying old,
worn-out but healthy horses for the meat

Skunk farming is said to be a less dis-
tasteful business than tha name would in-
dicate. It is said that the skunk uses bis
powerful scent only when he is In danger,
that he ear.y discovers that the farmer
is his friend, and unless disturbed by a
stray dog will give little trouble. It Is
said that the skunk is the glutton of the
fur-bearing- world, one farmer asserting
that his 300 breeding skunks will eat two
horses a week.
The opossum is said to be the most
promising of all tha fur farming animals.
it gr0ws rapidly and there is a demand
both for the carcass and the hide. Having
lived for generations in close contact with
man, the opossum is not seriously af
fected for a life In captivity. The musk-
rat is jn the same catagory as the opossum,
and in many cities there Is a great demand
for muskrat meat. In some sections the
annual catch of muskrats has amounted to
fifty per acre for many years. Raccoon
raising has been tried and has proved sue
cessful, and mink raising has been shown
by actual experience to be a very profitable
occupation. In all classes of fur farming
there has been a tbng series of failures,
however. This is due to the fact that many
men have been led by the high price of
furs to attempt the work whey they had
little or no practical acquaintance with the
animals with which they attempted to
deal.
One of the finest furs of the world is the
seal, although primacy now belongs to the
sea otter. A few days ago the announce
ment was made thap the sea ing steamer
"Florisel" had made a season catch of
45.000 seals, valued at ,100,000. Eight of the
twenty vessels in the Newfoundland seal
water have reported catchts amounting to
more than 200,000, valued at upward of
$000,000. Of all fur seals none is so valuable
as the Alaskan. Senator Root has declared
that unless the at al kil ing contract on
Pribilof island Is terminated, and the pel
agac sealing stopped, the Alaskan seal is
doomed to extinction. The average value
of an Alaskan seal Is $35. The tax on it is
about $10, and all other killing and curing
(xpenses about $5. This haves a net pro
fit of about IJ) per seal, or $130,000, uhlch

was the response of Louis R. Men to the
friends who greeted him yesterday on his
rt urn frnm eleven months' travel in
Europe and the orient. He reached Omaha
at noon, was met by a delegation of friends
at the Union depot and when he turned up
at the Henshaw last night he was hailed
by a salvo of exclamations, "How well you
look."
Mr. Mets admitted he had never fell
better, although the tramping he had done
had reduced his avoirdupois. "We were not
the oidlnary bunch of tourists," he ex
plained, "with guide book in hand and fol
lowing their cicerone at express Bpted. e
wanted to see the countries we traversed
and the only way you can do that Is b
footing it. But sometimes I think I got
too much of It. Would you believe It, when
we tramped into Monte Carlo I felt Just like
a spot of grease."
In the party was Colonel Fanning, who
returned Saturday, and J. H. McDonald,
who remained In Paris to recuperate. Mr.
Metx arr.ved In New York with Colonel
Fanning, but stopped off at St. Louis.
Mr. Men's discussion of men and things
met with In his travels showed he had
both the seeing eye and the bearing ear
when he was gazing upon the architectural
wonders of trie Coliseum by moonlight or
taking afternoon tea on the piazza of Shep
herd's famous botel at Cairo.
Cairo Makea Impression.
"What Is the most vivid Impression of
your trip? ' he was asked, and, like Colonel
Fanning, his reply was "Cairo." "What a
wonderful change has been effected there, '
he said, "since the English occupation."
and he proceded to descant upon lis electric
light, its electric cars and the other equip
ments a modern city has.
"But the morals or rather want of morals
of the people ugii! There has, however,
been a great change In recent years. IJ
you know that It was to this Immorality
Colonel Roosevelt was tef erring when he
sooke ot the Egyptians not being fitted for
self-government? The only one," he added,
"the Egyptians have any respect for is the
English soldier."
When lr. Cairo the party got lost and
found themselves in Billy Ooat Alley.
"Ves, that's the name of it, but If we were

and all the fine scenery did not leave such

"The intense poverty of Italy and espe
cially southern Italy and Naples, could
be," said Mr. Metz, "both seen and felt
There are beggais here, there and every
where." "In Italy," he remarked, "one-half ol
the people seem to be In uniforms and
the other half in rags. Than the people
are so Ignorant and they are kept so bj
the power of the chuich. But there Is an
upheavel coming and we saw that In s
great socialist demonstration In Rome."
Monaco and Its capital, Monte Carlo,
were also visited and. said Mr. Metz, one
would think that half the wraith of th
wotld was concentrated in this part ol
Fiance.
Condition of, Paris.
Speaking of Paris he i-Hid he would not
advise anyone, to go there this summer.
"There will be something occurring there,"
was his comment, and he explained thli
by referring to the stale the city had been
left in by the floods. He feared an epi
demic and added that tha basement of the
hotel in which he had slopped was still
full of water.
Describing London as the market of the
world, he spoke of tiie wonderful street
regulation of the great metropolis. "There
are ten there, he said, for every one In
Paris, but there is not th same crowding
and the sume difficulty of getting across
the streets."
But, although Mr.. Metx said that he felt
good after his Trip," el'Tie'Ts mighty glad
to be back in Omaha and will sea his
brother, Arthur, and his family depart for
Europe April 20 without any feeling of
envy.
