TO HAVE DANCE HALLS.
Omaha Pastor at Head of Movement
to Provide Places of Amusement.


Omaha, Sept. PA proposition is
under way in Omaha by several of the
churches by which they hope to pro
vide four halls in which to hold
dances for the young people who now
frequent the public dance halls of the
city. 1t is planned to hold these dances
twice a week and to have in attend
ance each night one of the church wo-
men who will be interested in this
work for the young people. Rev. Rob
ert b. H. Bell is at the head of the
plan.
With party of newspaper people,
guided by Mogy Bernstein and Assist
ant Probation Officer Carver, and un-
der the protecting wing of two city
detectives, Rev. Bell visited the dance
halls of Omaha Saturday night and
remained until a late hour to study
the conditions under which many
young people take their Saturday
night amusement Three dance halls
were visited.
When the tour of inspection was
over Mr.. Bell announced that the
least four halls in Omaha where young
people may so to dances decently and
in order. Dancing is a natural amuse-
ment for young people and | am
heartily in favor of it. But the romp-
ing and hugging which | have seen
is not dancing. 1t is something be-
yond my comprehension. This head
to head business is not dancing. If we
establish our dance halls as we hope
to do we will have ladies in charge of
the halls who will look after the young
people and see that everything is con-
Quoted decently and in order. We
recognize the fact that they must have
proper recreation and that we must
provide something better in the place
of these dance halls. We hope to lay
this matter before the Omaha Wo-
mems club and to have their coopera-
ton in the matter"

ROW MARKET DAY WORKED
w. II. BUTTERFlELD KNOWS OF
WATERFOWL FAIR DAYS.
HE DROVE TWENTY MILES TO 1T
The Trade Day Acted as an Attraction
for Many Lines of Business and He
Bought Harness of Same Dealer
There for Many Years Afterward.

There for Many Years Afterward.
Among the Norfolk people who have
seen in actual and successful practice
the trade day" plan which has been
suggested for this city, is W. II. But
terrified He lived for many years at
Columbus, Wis, twenty miles away
from WATERFOWL, whose fair was re-
Gently spoken of by G. A. Kuhl as a
model upon which Norfolk could work.
Mr.. Butterfeld regularly drove to
Watertown, twenty miles away, for
the purpose of finding trades of va
rious sorts in this bargain hunting
crowd. He not only procured many
articles there, but he also exchanged
many horses and other similar posses
sions among people who tlocked to
Watertown.
AS a result of the habit acquired of
visiting WATERFOWL Mr.. Butterfield
formed habit of buying all of his
harness from a certain harness maker
in Watertown and, likewise, he formed
the habit of patronizing Waterfowl
tailors for all of his clothes. For years
after he had moved away from Wis
consin he still sent back there for all
harness that he bought. This merely
shows what the day did as a magnet
for other business. ...
Another Feature.
A feature which has long been
talked of in Norfolk, is being revived
among merchants as a possible plan
for assistance in developing trade
days. This is to refund railroad fares
for certain distances when goods are
bought to certain amounts. Sioux City
and Omaha merchants do this right
along and make it win. 1t was former
| ly argued that it could not be done
because there was no secretary to han
die the joint business of all in the
organization, who could pro rate the
expense and tax each merchant &C
cording to the sales, but now that the
Commercial club has been organized
the secretary of that organization
could fill the place.
A number of the merchants who
have discussed this plan, seem to be
heartily in favor of it.

TILLMAN SUGGESTS A VOTE.
Thinks Time for Closing Debate on
Rate Bill Has Come.

Senator Tiliman in charge of the railroad
rate bill in the Senate, shortly before 8
o'clock today, suggested that the time had
arrived when the debate on the pending
bill should be brought to a close and vot-
ing on amendments should begin.
Senator Foraker said that he saw no rea-
son why some Of these amendments should
not be taken UP at once and voted upon. !.
Mr.. Tfllnlan responded that he thought
1t was only due senators who were absent
from the city that notice should be given
when the debate should be closed.
Senator Allison said he was heartily in
favor of that plan and thought that by the
end of next week the Senate ought to be
able to begin voting on amendments.
Senator Bailey also Endorsed this PROPOSE
ton, and said that if amendments were
taken up, briefly debated and voted upon
there would be no question about. having
senators present.
At this point in the effort to get together
Senator Foraker gave notice of an addi-
tional amendment that he would propose
and which he said he would speak on at
the proper time.
Further efforts will be made 1t IS stated,
to begin voting on amendments within q
short time.
