OMAHA. MONDAY. MAY 16. 1010. Nebraska LINCOLN FEELING THE AXE Criticism of Neighboring Cities Re mits in Loss of Business. COMJtEECIAL CLUB IS AROUSED oaae ScrloaV Talk of Kstabllsfcla Oasorahls) of lress ol Capital tl(f fiovrraor'a Silver Wtadlns. From a Staff ' Correspondent.) LINCOLN, May 15. (Spclal.)-A serious juojstlon discussed by several memben of he Commeiclal club during the noon hour Mccntly, wis the advisability of selecting a censor to pass on the news to be pun ished In the local pap. rS regarding the action of the citizens of neighboring towns. t Has been the custom for many year for certain parties in Lincoln to attempt to manage the affairs and regulate the ac tion of the neighboring towns ax Well as the capital city, and it has Just dawned tipon, certain business and professional men -here that the practice Is not helping the city. So these parties, who have given Aha matter some thought, hare concluded that .perhaps front a business standpoint it would be better for the newspapers here to keep their hands off of the affairs of the citizens of the close-around towns In sofar as relates to their attitude toward the liquor question. As soon' as Beatrice voted in saloons, after; two years . of drouth, the Lincoln paper began to declare there was a ter rible condition In that thriving Utile city. Then Crete waa held up as a second Have lock and was said to.be the place of the ruin of many Lincoln persons. The Lincoln drunks .w.ere not. blanked at all. CHIma Fifth! Bark. Beatrice fought back. And so did Crete and other towns that are being maligned are fighting back. It Is very evident that business In the capital city has been truck and struck hard, for the squeal that went up from the Commercial club members has been heard all over town. Thooa discussing the matter Insisted that the papers discontinue writing of Beatrice, Crete and Wllber and look after Lincoln. The reports of conditions In these town being; written at long distance, It has been ensy for those abused to answer back hard, and they have done It. So It Is very probable that hereafter the papers here will confine themselves to attacks on Omaha. In the meantime Lincoln came near losing a very necessary and hard working official last week because of the activity of the various clubs In criticising and offering suggestions. This official has much to do with the work of building for the future Lincoln, and being well equipped In his line and of long experience, it was his belief that he knows what he is doing when he does anything. The Clubs Deride. This official's experience as-related to a Reporter for The Bee was something like this: "When 1 finally decide what should be done, the matter is put up to the council and Is endorsed. Work then progresses. Then along comes the clubs. They meet and condemn the idea. Their criticism Is passed on to the council and the council gigs back and I am left high and dry. It will take several months again to get the council to even consider the proposition." It Is this official's idea and it la the Idea of many business men of Lincoln that the time la here when the city for its own protection should elect officers who are not afraid to go ahead and do something re gardless of the various clubs and of critics. Several business men Insist that they elect officials to do the work of the city and take this responsibility off of their hands, but instead of that whenever a question comes up about which there Is a possibility of a difference of opinion, It needs must be passed on by all the clubs, before any thing Is done, with the result that the city Is always In a turmoil. The next great. qtTestlon to come Before the people for settlement will be whether Wyuka cennetery shall be open after S o'clock at night so that persona In Lin coln may go there and spend a quiet hour, feeling perfectly at home, or whether It shall remain closed after that hour and thus prevent a possible desecration of the place. This waa the leading question last summer and It has not yet been settled definitely. Celebrate Silver Wedding-. Governor and Mrs. Shallenberger will celebrate the twenty-fifth anniversary of their marriage on the evening of May 24, by a publto reception to which no cards will be necessary. They will keep open house at the executive mansion all even ing, beginning at S o clock. Lieutenant Bhallenberger and his bride will be among th. house guests. Llacola Industrial Exposition.

Trailing; Vleltnnt at Any Time from Early Mora to Mldalght Wednesday. Some time Wednesday night, probably between 10 o'clock and midnight, the earth will pass through the nebulous tall of the sky rover first tagged by Prof. Halley. "But there Is absolutely no danger of the earth being hurt," says Father W. F. Rigge, the astronomer of Crelghton uni versity. "And please emphasize that statement, for It Is really surprising how many people thcie aie Who seem to expect serious con sequences. For their fears there is hot the slightest basis In fact, and uny ner vousness on the Score of possible danger should be allayed st once." Father Rigge says that If Wednesday morning Is clear obesrvers may possibly see a big or little streak of light, similar to one of the shoots . or beams of the jurors borealls. If Wednesday should, be an extraordinarily bright clay, the comet may be seen near the sun; that Is, provided the comet Itself Is in the humor or position to shine effulgently. On tnis proposition. Father Rigge and other astronomers are very cautious In committing theselves, and the Crelghton scientist frankly says that everybody who hits been Viewing the spark ling visitant from the purely scientific standpoint is wondering Just what develop ment Wednesday will bring forth. On the possibility of danger to the earth, though, they are all agreed there is nothing to be feared. JUHt how much of the comet can be seen Wednesday evening, or for how long it will be In view, will depend on conditions In the starry dome. The Illuminating power of the visitant will have much to do with its mi( lifestatlon to earth dwellers. Pale Lunas light will also cut considerable figure, but whether searchers see or do not see the comet,' we may sit tight In a feeling of security from danger. BRITAIN'S RULER PLEASES PEOPLE (Continued from First Page.) part scarcely less powerful under the re gime of King George and Queen Mary. Mrs. Astor has been living very quietly here and will be looked upon with favor by Queen Mary. That Is also the position of the duches of Marlborough. In the case of the last named, she is Interested in a number of philanthropies in which Queen Mary has shown considerable interest. The queen realizes the difference of her husband, who lacks the social brilliance and the courteous diplomacy of his late father. No one realizes better than Queen Mary that the king could never shine socially as did King Edward. King George likes the seclusion ' of his country residence, his library and his harmless little hobbles. In this respect the queen may have a dual object. The tradesmen, will be. gratified at her de termination to make the English court a brilliant center of gaiety and life for it means the unlimited purchase of fine garb. In this manner, the queen shows fine at tention to her husband's subjects and at the same time becomes the real queen in fashion, as well aa in power. Americans living in London complain of the dullness which has prevailed since the king's death. To add to the general gloom the weather haa been cold with rain storms. In fact King Edward's death is making itself felt in every direction and many Americans here are preparing to go to the continent late this month.
