DUTY ON BANANAS TOO HIGH
Guntcmalan Planters stop Cutting
and Cnrpoes of Fruit Are Unob-
tninabIe for shipment.

MOBILE, Ala, Nov. 15.-The steamship
Managua. from Guatemalan ports, has ar
rived with a cargo OF bananas and reports
that since the Guatemalan government put
an export duty OF 10 cents stem on bananas
planters have stopped cutting and cargoes OF
the fruit are not obtainable.
The steamer Otey also came in and re-
ported storms in Spanish Honduras so severe
as to wash out bridges on the Honduras rail-
road and prevent handling OF fruit by rail-
The Otey therefore brought no banana
cargo.
The captain of the Managua says the 10
cents tax on bananas is for revenue pur-
poses TO defray the anti-revolutionary opera
tions; that 10 cents stem amounts to %
per cent OF what planters get for bananas
and about all the profit from raising the
fruit; that planters may as we'll let their
fields lie waste as to attempt to pay this tax.
The tax was imposed November 1.
A committee OF planters has gone to see
the president OF Guatemala to try to get the
tax removed. The captain thinks that they
will effect a modification II not removal
OF the tax.

MUST MAKE A CASH DEPOSIT
Judge Dickinson Rerd,rs Decision in the
Exposition Injunction Case.
COURT ROOM CROWDED WITH SPECTATORS
Able Lawyers for Either side Contest
Vigorously from start to
Finish-Money VIII BE
Deposited.

Decisive action was taken in the expost-
tion litigation Wednesday afternoon, when
Judge Dickinson rendered a decision in the
injunction proceedings instituted few days
ago by the Cady Lumber company, wherein
tho court was prayed to restrain the Chi
cago Wrecklng company from razlng GER
tain buildings which are looked upon as
liens by the paintiff.
Judge Dickinson ruled that the wrecking
company shall not destroy the buildings in
question unless the defendants deposit with
the clerk OF the district court sufficient
money to cover the mechanics liens. II
the money Is deposited, then the work OF
wrecking may proceed SO far as the courts
decision is concerned. 1t is understood
that immediate compliance will be made
with this stipulation and that the wrecking
will proceed unless restrained by some
OF the other plaintiffs who have sued the
exposition. The aggregate amount OF the
Cady Lumber companys liens is about
$4,70O and represents lumber furnished.
In view OF the numerous suits pending,
Judge Dicltinson's decision Is a matter OF
interest to many persons, and his courtroom
was crowded all day while the proceed
ings we're in progress.
notable array of legal talent appeared
for either side, and the case was contested
from start to finish in a spirited manner.
The attorney for the wrecking company,
co defendant with the exposition manage
ment, made the plea that the buildings were
not realty, but personal property and that
they were not subject to the usual lien
process. The plaintiffs argued directly op-
poste, holding that the buildings are not
trade fixtures.
Within the last four weeks numerous
suits have been instituted against the ex-
position and the wrecklng company. They
are all of similar import, the idea being TO
prevent the buildings from being torn down
until financial obligations are properly ad-
justed.

REV. c. S. SARGENT CHOSEN
Called to the Pastorate Of 81, Mary's Avenue
Congregational Church.
ELECTED AMID UNANIMOUS APPLAUSE
In Enthusiastic Ratification of the
Election the Congregation Sings
"Prnise God from whom All
blessings Flow"

DR.. C. s. Sargent, late OF st. Louis. will
be the new pastor of St. Mary's Avenue Con-
gregational church. He was elected wednes-
day night at an enthusiastic meeting OF the
congregation, including both the church
organization proper and the society
DR.. Sargent recently delivered a sermon
at ST. Mary's church and made such
favorable impression that notwithstanding
several other prominent divines were men
toned in connection with the pastorate, he
was the choice OF a large majority. The
few dissenting votes cast against him on
account of personal friendship and long
acquaintance with the other possible can
ddates were changed Immediately and the
election was made unanimous. He received
seventy nine votes on the first ballot and
subsequently the entire voting attendance,
ninety-three strong, cast ballots for him.
The Congregational church has what is
known as society organization, and it is
the rule In selecting a pastor for the
ciety to act jointly with the regular church
organization At the close of the general
balloting the church adjourned and the
society took charge of the meeting, ratify-
ing the election OF DR.. Sargent.
Now is the time to sing Praise God
from Whom All Blessings Flow" suggested
one of the members, and every voice in the
house was raised in sounding that old famil-
lar hymn.
After considerable discussion 1t was de-
cided that the salary OF DR.. Sargent shall
be $4,000 annually. His pastorate will be-
gin at once. He will probably take charge
next Sunday.
In the selection Of a pastor, there was
general disposition not to hurry matters,
although 1t was a Sargent meeting from
start to finish. Several impromptu speeches
were made and the general outlook for
church advancement was discussed. st.
Mary's avenue church is one OF the most
representative and most prosperous in
Omaha, and now that the question of
leader for the flock has been determined, 1t
is expected that the members will go to
work with renewed zeal.

A Good Thing from Hungary.

Under the auspices Of the Apollinaris Conn
pany, London, very valuable mineral
water, adapted for medicinal purposes has
been introduced into this country under
the name of "Apenta." This product is a
bitter water, derived pure and in a per-
fectly natural condition, from springs sit
uated near Budapest, Hungary.
1t belongs to the class of purgative wa
ters; but its action happens to be OF a
mild and non-irritating character, due to
the presence Of large quantity of sui
phate of magnesia, which exceeds in guam
tity the sulphate of soda. The former is the
milder purgative. and the somewhat crude
action of the soda sulphate Of other waters
is therefore said to be avoided in "Apenta."

SOUTH OMAHA NEWS. q,

petition is being circulated among the
residents of Brown park requesting the
Board OF Education to allow the use OF one
or more rooms at the Brown Park school
building on Sundays for the teaching OF the
Bohemian language Not long ago the Bo-
heman lodges in the city established a
school for children of Bohemian parents
where the Bohemian language is taught. At
the present time this school is held at
Koutskys hall from a. m. until noon of
each Sunday. The room is too small for the
120 pupils and 1t is the desire of the parents
of these children that more commodous
quarters be secured. Eight Of the Bohemian
lodges are supporting this school and the
petition to go to the Board OF Education will
be signed by the president and secretary of
each Of the lodges. The combination OF
lodges is willing to agree to pay for coal
used and for janitor service during the three
hours the building will be used. Nearly all
the pupils of this school are attending the
public schools, but IL is the desire OF the
parents of these children that they learn the
Bohemian language and in order to assist In
the furtherance OF the plans Of the lodges
the school board will be asked to allow the
use Of certain rooms on Sunday.
In connection with Bohemian matters II is
reported that a subscription list is being cir
culated here for the purpose OF assisting the
three Bohemian Turner lodges at Vienna,
Austria. 1t appears that these three lodges
have been driven from their quarters by the
Germans and are unable to secure a lodge
hall anywhere in the city. An appeal has
been made to the Turner lodges in Americs
and money is now being raised for the pur-
pose of buying ground and erecting build
ing in Vienna for the use OF the Bohemian
lodges there. Up to the present time quite
sum has been raised here and II is expected
that considerable sum will be raised. The
appeal for help comes from well authenti-
Gated sources and is being readily responded
to here. similar appeal has been made to
all of the Bohemian Turner lodges in Amer
lea and without doubt a sum sufficient to
purchase ground and erect a building will
be raised within a short time.

minutes to reach Dodge street, although
