Since their organisation as a national society twelve years sgo, the Gideons, the "Christian traveling men," have placed 80,0u0 bibles In the rooms of hotels all over the country and It Is theln wish to put a holyook In every hotel room In North America. In Omaha there are about 1600 rooms which the traveling men would like to see supplied with bibles and 1.000 more will be purchased to complete the work as soon us possible. Hotel keepers have given testimony frequently to the Gideons that the placing of the bibles makes their light bills heavier, which proves, at least, that they are read and there have been many stories collected showing that they have a direct and wide Influence for good. The Gideons will distribute their bibles In a procession which will march from the Young Men's Christian association meeting Immediately after the special gospel meet ing to be held this afternoon. There are forty men In the local organization and they want to get as many more men as possible to help with, the distribution.

An ordinance declaring the necessity ot voting 1100,000 In bonds to erect three new engine houses In the city, will bs presented to the city council Tuesday night. Mayor Dahlman stated Saturday morning that satisfactory arrangements had been made with the county board of commissioners to hold the election- In conjunction with ths Water board and county elections. June 11 Is being considered as the datt for holding the elections.' "The ordinance 'will be presented Tues day night." said the mayor. "Two weeks' time will he required to pass tns measure. Then we must give ten days' notice by publication, which will permit us to hold the election on June 21, If the others are held then. "We have decided to ask for not more than 1100,000.

Already 1150,000 have been Issued for Intersection and park pur poses. But we can make the contemplated repairs for $100,000 In my opinion." The money Is wanted for erecting a ew engine house at Sixteenth and Izard streets and another at Tenth and Douglas streets, and a third at Nineteenth and Harney streets, the latter to replace the one now located at Eighteen and Harney streets, which Is rented by the city at an annual cost of tt.BiiO. .

Labor Approves Co-operative Store Central Union Goes on Record in Favor of Plan Ten Dollars for McNaroara. After two months of discussion and delay the Central Labor union last night en dorsed the project of a co-operative store. The action taken was simply to give the sanction of organized labor to the move ment. C. E. Wlckes of Council Bluffs, who or ganized the mercantile co-operative store In that city, is to organize the Omaha con cern. Working with a committee of three from the Central Labor union he is to get the subscriptions of 200 members of or ganized labor to one share each at $3 a share before the plan is put In operation. The committee appointed was as follows: W. J. Light. L. Duncan and W. R. Mathenson. The question whether any but members of organized laboT should be permitted to hold stock gave rise to a great deal of dis cussion. But the question waa finally dropped when the debaters realized that it was out of their jurisdiction, as the union was merely giving Us sanction to the project. A committee of five was appointed to assist W. A. Christian, secretary of the btate Federation of 1-abor, in making ar rangements for the state convention of that body to be held here September 12. Mr. Christian's plan for a union label fair, showing the variety of union goods that are on the market, was enthusiastically adopted. Resolutions unfavorable to the proposed arbitration treaty of the l.'nlted States with England were adopted and voted sent to congressional representatives and the press. Ten dollars was voted for the MtNamara defense fund in reply to a spirited com munication from the American Federation of Labor asking aid. W. R. Mathenson was elected vice presi dent to fill a plaie made vacant by the repeated absence of the former occupant, and James FXIson In a similar manner was elected sergeant-at-arma. jf m mm mm a mm mean I yy Taj-Policy Prices Lowest Consistent Prices Tag-Polloy Quality means Greatest Good Quality Here is the event which you have not been expecting a sale of Oriental rugs at prices which we believe have never before been quoted in Omaha.
