That la ' Billy" Sunday. . . "Billy" Sunday and his tabernacle have for three weeks drawn hundreds upon I hundreds to Omaha from all parts of Ne- ! foi at two yiaces. The roads from the east are bringing persons from Iowa every day, and the southern roads are bringing persons from Kansas and Missouri.

There are thousands who would not come clear, across the state Juat to hear "Billy" Sunday were It not for the fact that they can take In the Ak-Sar-Ben festivities at the same time. There are other thousands who would not oome clear across the state or from a half docen adjoining states to the Ak-Sh.r-Ben festivities were It not that they ean take in the Sunday revivals at the same time. As Bern by Black. Charles Black says: "The A k -Bar-Ben this year will be the greatest celebration of Its kind in the world. The attractions booked will surpass anything ever offered, and In the Wortham shows the commit tee belloua - ft has contracted the beat organisation that has ever played the city. " 'Babes.

They called upon the revivalist in his rooms at Hotel Loyal Saturday morning, while "Billy" was still wearing his bath robe and lounging In a big arm chair. "We want you to preach a sermon in Council Bluffs," they, explained, "for the purpose of creating public sentiment agalntt booze and the dives and boot legging Joints tr-u are coming m to take the place of the saloons. "Although Iowa has gone dry and ths saloons must close i up January 1, we have failed tn our efforts to have the people demand a strict enforcement of the liquor laws. You are the best quali fied man In the country to help us, and we need you bad." Mr. Sunday hesitated to accept the call, saying that his famous sermon, "Boose," would "fall flat," If the state has al- 71 1 ready gone dry. l He finally promised, however, that he 7,j : would preach a sermon In the Council Bluffs Auditorium sonw Monday night during the Omaha campaign, although he had previously decided not to work any more on his weekly rest day.

SB.-Cap-taln Von Tapen, military attache of the German enitay at Washington, D. C, and Prince Von Hatxfeldt, who are vis iting this city, will leave next Tuesday for Mexico, It was announced today. Both men maintain silence as to their exact destination and the object of their visit o the southern republic. Captain Von Papen. In a statement Is Surd yesterday, denied that he referred In a private letter to Americans as "Idi otic. Yankee." He said the phrase was used In connection with reference to a certain eastern newspaper. "The much dlecuraed letter was to my wife," he setd. "In passing it may be said that publishing a man's letter to his wife Is deuced bad form. When the British authorities at Falmouth found these letters on Mr. Archibald, thay pounced with avidity on the two word that have made all this trouble. . OMAHA HOW REAL : BUTTER MARKET Creamery Men Break Loose from Old Traditions and Fix the Prioe for This Section. BUTTEB TWO CENTS LOWER Omaha has a butter market of Its own today. This was decided upon yesterday when at a meeting of the creamery men they all hut one decided to out loose from the bonds of the old Elgin regime and to make Omaha a real butter market. The first result of this resolve Is that the price Is today 2 cents lower In Omaha than it would otherwise have been. Yesterday the Elgin board met as usual and the price sent out over the country for butter for the coming week was given as 26 cents. Here tofore. In Omaha the , price would have been 27 cents.' The local creameries have heretofore taken the Elgin price and then added a cent for cartons and delivery so that the local grocers paid 1 cent more than the Elgin price. Today and tomorrow and all this week the price of butter In Omaha Is to be IS cents a pound to the grocers, which Is a out -of t cents lower than it would have been under the old regime. Some time ago an effort was made te start a move here te mako Omaha a real butter market and now It has borne fruit and the creameries have cut loose from the old traditions which have been blad ing them for so long. The local manu facturers argued that as long as Omaha was the largest butter, producing city In the -world there was no reason In being dictated to by Elgin as to what should be charged for butter. The price or SS cents a pound is te ap ply to all sales made by the local cream eries, whether the sale la one pound or la carload lots.

It grew especially vehement after a port folio containing certain of our private papers had been stulen from one of our men on the trsln. In writing to my wife, I dealt with these publications. Not a word did the British publish 'about these parts of my letter." Captain Von Papen, who Instated that his explanation be considered as an' ami cable discussion and not as an Interview, said that h waa here for a few days to visit the exposition and amuse himself and that after his vacation, he' would re turn to his post at Washington.'

The position of the Russians from Vllna to the Gallclan frontier appears to have been improved greatly, three distinct victories having been recorded al most simultaneously at widely scat tered points on the eastern front. This achievement has mitigated . to some extent the uneasiness felt In England as to the attitude of Bul garia. In the far north the situation Is less favorable for the Russians. They are resisting Field Marshal Von Ilia denburg's men with characteristic stubbornness, but the admission that fighting is proceeding at Smlelln, three miles from Novo Alexandrovsk. Indicates that the approaches to the latter town are in the hands of the Germans and that the fate of Dviqsk is in doubt. .
