How to make Nebraska like Germany
the Deration of .saloons was discussed
by the Nebraska Retail Liquor Dealers at
he Knw theater yesterday. Mem
era urged upon each other me necessity
for keeping orderly places and avoiding
Srunkards. It was pointed out that to
sell to confirmed drunkards when they
approaching Intoxication Is detrl-
ental to all saloons.
Saloons should be gentlemen's clubs,
said one member during the round table
discussion, "and should be run In that
fashion. Rowdyism In saloons Is becom
ing a thing of the past, and we In Ne
braska should help out Jn keeping It a
thing of the past"
i Henry Keating, secretary of the asso
ciation, made a talk In which he urged
hat Nebraska saloon men run their sa
loons like the rathskellers and beer gar
Sens of Germany. "We want," he sala,
"to obey the liquor laws to the letter, ana
we want to go further than the laws pre
scribe In making our saloons decent, or
derly places. Germany Is the model of
the world for the liquor business, and If
we can make our saloons like those over
there we needn't fear fanatical or more
Jttrlngent laws."

Meets Death Under
Nine-Room House as
it Falls Upon Him
W. M. Sohaff , aged 60 years, 800 Ave.
nue C, Council Bluffs, was killed yester
day, when a nine-room house that was
being moved down a steep embankment
at Thirty-eighth and Jones streets slipped
fiom Its fastenings and pinned him under
neath. James Peterson & Co. had the contract
for moving the structure upon a new
foundation across the street and Just
preparatory to unloosening the brakes
back of the rollers Bchaffer was adjust
ing the chains when the accident oc
curred. Every bone In his body was broken
and he lived a few minutes after the
crash came. He was attended by Drs. E.
J Mitchell, J. D. ftpellman of the county
hospital and Police Surgeon Foltx.
Coroner Crosby took charge of the body
and an Inquest will be held.
W. W. Geary, 153 North Eighth, was
working with Schaffer at the time of
the accident, but managed to get out with
a few minor bruises.
Frank Murphy, a lineman for the Ne
braska Telephone company, was on top
of the house at the time and when he
saw what was about to happen he held
onto the wires above and hond-after-hand
reached a telephone pole, from which he
climbed down.
Havens-White Goal
Company to Retire
from Local Trade
The Havens-White Coal company Is re
tiring from business. The yard at Six
teenth and Marcy streets has been sold
to the Nebraska Fuel company. A. I
Havens has purchased the yard at Forty
fifth and Farnam, where he will con
tinue In the retail coal trade, and the
yard at Thirtieth and Boyd streets has
been sold to W. D. Etchlson, formerly
yard superintendent for the company.
Victor White has not yet determined on
his future course. The affairs of tho
Havens-White Coal company will bo
wound up by July 1. The occasion for
the change is the determination of W. S.
Megeath, principal owner of the com
pany, to go out of the retail coal trade
and devote his attention exclusively to
mining operations.
A proposal to sell 120 acres of the
quarter section owned by Douglas county
west of Omaha now occupied by the
Omaha Field club and to use the money
to build a workhouse further out In the
country probably will be submitted to the
voters at the next general election by
the Board of County Commissioners.
nhdrmui Heat of the committee In
charge of the county hospital, said the
board's Idea was to keep the hospital
on its present site, which occupies forty
acres, and to use it for hospital purposes
only. Commissioner Lynch expressed
himself as favorable to this plan.
Commissioner Best sold ho was not in
favor of bringing the Question up at a
special election on account of the ex
penses. If an election is hem next tau
tho question will be submitted then.
Hie Field club's lease on the grounds
was made In 1906 to run twenty-five- years,
but subject to sale. The club pays C0V
year for Uw first ten years, 900 a
year for the next decade and IW00 for
the remaining five years. The buildings
were put up by tho club, which retained,
the privelege of removing them.
The commissioners expect to realize
about $200,000 from the land. All the
commissioners are desirous of having a
workhouse built, separate from the hos
pital and further removed from the city,
and there has been some talk of asking
the city to co-operate in securing one.
Flynn Thinks He
May Be the Goat
City Clerk Flynn thinks he's the butt
of a Joke. Certain water consumers and
taxpayers appeared before the Council
sitting as a board of equalisation, and
asked for relief. Two of them came from
the state deaf and dumb Institute. One
of these two wrote out his complaint and
gave It to Flynn.
After reading the complaint the city
clerk sat down and wrote a lengthy an
swer, saying the complainant should ap
pear In the afternoon at S o'clock and
be represented "by an attorney or some
body else who could present a verbal ar
gument. He passed this answer to the
complainant. The complainant read It
"All right, sir, I'll do it," he said In
a perfectly good voice.
Flynn beat It, but is still wondering It
the other one of the two can talk.

The federal court In Omaha has re
fused to grant a temporary Injunction
sought by the Western 1nlon Telegraph
company against the operation of the
fitebbin bill, passed by the last legisla
ture, fixing a maximum charge of 25
cents for a ten-word message. Federal
Judges T. C. Munger, Walter I Smith
and W. H. Munger heard the arguments.
The law, which was passed with an
emergency clause, provides that If the
telegraph companies find that the 2G-cent
rate Is not compensatory, they may go
before the Bute Railway commission with
an application for a higher rate.
The court's decision is based upon the
fact that the action was brought In the
court instead of before the railway corn-

Several delegations of Omaha clothiers
have already waited upon George Brooks,
the Clothier, who Is charged with the
heinous offense of cutting clothing prices
before the Fourth of July.
"Brooks has acted shamefully," say the
clothiers, "Brooks started In to out .cloth
ing prices right and left Just when lib
shouldn't have cut." Omaha clothiers
almost to a unit declare that Brooks has
knocked the bottom out ef business as
far as summer clothing Is concerned.
"What, man," they say, "Is going to
patronize one of our storey at regular
figures when Brooks is tearing off great
chunks of the prices of his suits over at
the corner of Sixteenth and Harney
streets."
True, the other clothiers don't like tho

doesn't blame them for he has had simi
lar experiences in his time but llkusdts
llkes, and opinions of other clothiers do
not pay Brooks' clothing bills at tho fac
tories. Brooks had a Jonah spring and
sold scarce any suits at all; too cold, too
dreary and wintry; simply had to get to
selling some suits now; even though all
the profit had been dispensed with. Yes.
sir! Brooks was up against It and HAD
to sell goods In order to pay bills.
Now then, it's up to you. You may
wait a month and find "sale" prices At
every clothing house in town, but If you
want to get the benefit of that full
month's wear and servloe of the clothes,
you may as well buy your summer suit
now at Brooks, for no other Omaha
clothier is offering cuts on EVERY suit
in the house.
