Jn spite of the hunsry lions, the death

multitudes to the city.
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-

The roads from the east are bringing
persons from Iowa every day, and the
southern roads are bringing persons from
Kansas and Missouri.

That la nothing, however, to the num
ber of persons who have thus far re-

"Billy" Sunday.
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

There are other thousands who would

CouncirBluffs
Wants Sunday to
Preach Over There
"Come over into Council Bluffs and
help us," a delegation of the churchmen
; Implored "Billy" Sunday, paraphrasing
the scriptural passage, "Come over into
, Macedonia and help us."
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.

Von Papen Says Term "Idiotic
Yankees99 Referred to Certain Editors
SAN FRANCISCO, Cat. Sept. 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.

RUSS SCORE NORTH OF PINSX
LONDON. Sept. 25. 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. .
Cal Reverses Teaseores-y,
Kast of Vtlns, north of Plnsk. and In
the vicinity of Lutsk, ths Russians have
scored heavily. The Germans character
Ise their reverses esst of Vilna that Is.
at the Velleka railway Junction as of a
temporary character. notwithstanding
their losses of guns and prlsonersv Near
Plnsk Fluid Marshal von Mackensen was
thrown bsrk In an engagement that has
shaken his grip on the city. Further south
the Russians, now holding Lut, are
pressing their advantage and seem to be
assuming the dominant y of the southern
end of the line In a manner recalling the
lighting of last spring.
