Bros, declared that he is kindly inclined to
the proposition, but would like to see the
movement become little more general be-

trade from people who are employed almost
constantly during the week and who find
their only purchasing opportunity on Satur-

G. NJ. Sweetland, manager of the Nebraska
Clothing company, has very decided views
on the question. Under no conditions will
we close our store" he said, "as We do the
bulk of our Saturday business after o'clock.
Look at those men carrying dinner pals on
their arms They have hurried down here
from their work. 1t is the only chance they
have during the entire week to secure what
they need. Do you mean to tell me that
these men would be benefited by such
move? When things are arranged that
this trade will find time at another hour in
the day to come here we will be prepared to
close our doors"

ment of the disturbed conditions there are
received with satisfaction here AS to Mr.
Chambers future nothing has been assured
If he is to retire as part of the scheme OF
compromise projected by the commission 1t
is probable the administration will provide

however, that the chief Justices retirement
will be entirely voluntary, in which case
the president would be relieved of the neces.
sity OF finding another place for him.
Though the commission has abolished the
Samoan kingship out of hand that action
is not necessarily final and is subject 10 the
