THOMAS APPLIES FOR ORDER
Civic Federation Attorney Asks Licenses Of
Five Saloons Be Revoked.
MAURtR AND sCHuTz ARE INCLUDED
Judge Kennedy of District Court
Fixes Hearing for Monday
Thomas Denies Reports of Com
promise with Liquor Men.

The Civic Federation, through its attor-
ney, Elmer Il. Thomas has filed petition
In the district court asking that an oIder
be issued requiring the Fire and Police
board Immediately to revoke the saloon
licenses held in the following names:
Ed Maurer, 1896 Farnam street.
William Buthorn. Schiltz hotel bar.
Schiltz Brewing company, wholesale office,
Ninth and Eleventh streets
Mike Brunski, 1914 south Thirteenth
Joe wachtler Sixteenth and Martha
streets.
Mr. Thomas waived the matter of cost In
preparing the transcript of the pleadings
and had them prepared, paid for and filed
In the five cases. He has notified City At
torney Breen that he would call the case
I'D for a hearing before Judge Kennedy
Monday.
The federation suddenly changed its tao
tics with reference to the attempts of the
saloon men to break away from the Sunday
closing edict When it was announced the
hearing in the mandamus case to compel
the Fire and Police board to supply tran
scripts of the pleadings and evidence in lao
cases wherein licenses had been protested
because of alleged violations of the Slocumo
law in 1906 It was the intention to walt I'M
I'll the case went through the supreme court
before beginning lnulNluudl dStiOhS " SS
cure the forfeiture Of licenses. This policy
has been altered and it was decided to file
cases at once without quibbling over the
payment of cost of transcripts, against the
saloons for which the federation had evil
dence Of being open last Sunday.
Move for Quicker Action.
'It is a move to get quicker action" said
Attorney Thomas. I'VE mean business ana
we will ask and demand the revocation Of
the licenses Of these five places at once"
The Maurer and Schlitz hotel bars are in
connection with prominent cafes.
The report was circulated industriously
Saturday that representatives of the liquor
interests had conferred with members Of
the Civic Federation and secured an agree
ment that II 1900 or more genuine resi-
dent taxpayers of Omaha signed the petit
lions for open Sundays now posted on
many saloons and cigar stores, the fedora
ton would drop it's crusade. This report
was emphatically denied by Mr.. Thomas,
who said:
Henry Heating of the Liquor Dealers
association called to see me and endeavored
to persuade the federation to make such
an agreement. The federation absolutely
declined to make any such agreement and
will continue in that attitude. Regardless
of who signs this petition, the federation
will continue to enforce the Sunday closing
law just the same. If every preacher and
business man in town signed the petition
II would make no difference"
Judge Kennedy has issued an order for q
hearing Monday afternoon at o'clock.

BOARDREJECTS YATES CLAIM
County Commissioners Turn Down Bill fol
Drug Prescriptions.
AUDITOR REPORTS MANY NOT FILLED
IRE submits Resolution Fixing Terms
of Auditor and County Agent at
Year and is Promptly
Turned Down.

The county commissioners, by a unani-
nous vote, rejected the claim of +. L.
Yates, druggist, for prescriptions alleged
to have been filled under his contract with
the county. The claim was for $246.25, and
it came before the board in a report from
the committee on charity. The committee
reported the county auditor has found that
a great many of the prescriptions covered
by the claim had never been filled, and 1t
recommended the claim be rejected The
report was signed by ali three members OF
the committee, IRE, Kennard and Trainor.
In voting to adopt the report Mr. Bruning
said he did not think it right to reject the
whole claim, but he thought the committee
should have allowed enough to cover the
prescriptions which were actually filled.
This is the case in which charges Of graft
were made, and it was alleged prescrip-
lions were charged for twice. The action
of the board will probably result in a
suit against the county for the amount
claimed.
Mr.. IRE served notice that orders on the
county store in payment for work done IN
cleaning the sidewalks around the court
house of snow would not be honored here.
after. Last week. he said, S35 in orders
for this work had been presented and hon.
others 81 each. lie said his committee
would refuse to pay for work that should
be paid for out of other funds. He also
thought it unwise for the county to pay
for work of this kind without action by
the board. Mr.. Solomon of the committee
on court house and jail said he would in
vestigate and bring in a report at the next
meeting.
IRE is Turned Down.
The board rejected, by vote of to 8,
resolution presented by Mr. Ure fixing
the terms of County Auditor Robert Smith
and County Agent ]. II. Glassman at one
year. He defended the resolution on the
grounds 1t would leave these officers free
to act without fear of mourning the dis
pleasure of the board. Many claims and
orders were presented to them, he said,
which ought not to be allowed. but as
these officers are now subject to the pleas
ure of the board, they did not feel like
refusing to do anything members of the
board might ask them to do. Mr.. Solomon
was opposed to hiring county employees for
definite time, as it might be considered a
contract binding upon the county in case
the board should want to dispense with
their services, and Bruning and Trainer
agreed with him. Ure and Kennard were
the only ones voting for the resolution.
The board received a written opinion from
the county attorney saying the contract
with the Standard Bridge company for the
repair of the bridge at Elk City is valid
and enforceable and the contractor is liable
for any damage that may be incurred to
the bridge.
The board adjourned. to. meet again
Wednesday morning at 10 o'clock.

Changes In Locomotives

When one looks at the fleet, power
full locomotives of today, one can but
smile when he remembers that they
are the direct progeny of the little To-
comotives that were the establishment
OF America Is years ago, says Leroy
Scott in the American Illustrated Mag
aZine.
The Best Friend made it's trial trips
in the autumn months of 1880 on a
railroad that ran out of Charleston,
s. c. One day, the next year, while the
engineer was attending to some freight
for the engineer of that time was also
the train crew the fireman, negro,
became annoyed at the buzzling steam
that escaped through the safety valve.
He first tried to cure the nuisance
by holding the valve down with his
hand, but the steam pressure was
stronger than his arm. Then he sat
down on the lever of the valve.
That was better; the steam devil
quieted. The negro was content for a
few minutes-then came the explosion,
and the negro and the Best Friend
were wrecks.

When Winding Your Watch.

The old superstitious belief that you
will change your luck if you stop
winding your watch at night and wind
it in the morning may have some
slight basis in fact, according to a
jeweler, who says that the morning is
the proper time to do the winding.
This is not only because the hour of
rising is for the average man much
more regular than that for retiring
but even the soberest and most order
ly of men are apt 10 relax and prone to
carelessness at bedtime, when more or
less worn by the wear and tear of the
day. In this condition the winding is
apt to be done in jerky, irregular
sort of way, or too far or not far
enough. Nine people out of ten wind
their watches on gong to bed" said
the jeweler; "but if they would do it
when they get up, at some regular
point in the process OF making their
toilet, they would do it much better.

Red Hair and Badness.

An eminent man of science has re-
Gently declared that red-haired people
are far less apt to grow bald than
those with other colored hair. The av-
erage crop on the head of a red-haired
person is only 10000 hairs. Ordinary
dark hair is far finer, and over three
dark hairs take up the space of one
red one; 100000 are about the aver
age. But fair-haired people are still
better off; 100000 to 100000 are quite
a common number of hairs on the
scalp of fair-haired man or woman.

THE RISE AND FALL OF ARMIES.

Just at present the japanese army is

the latest army to do something, and
for that reason, If for mo other, holds
the worlds attention. Interest rather
than study is what it proyokes now.
The study will come later, when we
know more than we do today of the
quality of its work and can parcel out
how much of the Japanese success was
due to superior fighting power and
how much to overwhelming preponder-
ance of numbers on its side. There is
no reflection on the courage of an army
In its winning by strategy. Only a
brave army can be trusted by strate-
gist. At to concentrating superior num-
bers on the foe, that is what organiza-
