So Declares Shallenberger, with Spe-

Call No Extra Session.

Governor ShHllenberger. who was in
Omaha for a few hours on his return to
Lincoln from Plattsmouth, announced that
he would be a candidate for reelection In
1910 and that he probably would not call
an extra session Of the legislature this year
to make q new bank guaranty law.
II shall be a candidate for denomination
next year." said he, but 1 will have more
to announce on this subject later IN"
Asked If he would seek the nomination he
said:
Il will not go after the nomination very
hard, for 1 believe II will come to me with
out much effort. Besides 1 feel that things
are different now than they were last sum-
mer. 1 was not in office then and I felt
that / had to go after the nomination.
Now 1 am in office and I do not think 1
should be forced to seek denomination"
Asked II he had any fear of Mayor Dahl
mans efforts to become governor he bit
his lip and said:
mot a bit. 1 have no fears OF Dahlman
or any other man who may wish to be
governor. (This was said with a smile.) 1
do not think Omaha people should kick on
the S o'clock closing law. I believe 1t is
the right thing and that It is proving to
be a good law for the state"
AS to calling an extra session OF the leg
~islature:
Il think, as conditions now are, that 1
will not nave to call an extra session. In
deed, l believe It very improbable that l
shall convene the legislature in extra ses-
sion. A great deal depends, of course, upon
what the United States court does In regard
to the bank bill. l believe that no extra
session will be necessary"

Country Club
Divided on Plan
to Buy More Land
Pro-Golf Members Want Thirty Acres
Adjoining Grounds, While
Others Do Not.

A warm meeting of the members OF tine
Omaha Country club is expected to-
night, when the matter OF buying thirty
acres of land adjoining the club will be
taken UP. 1t will be a fight between the
members interested in golf and the mem
bers who think that some other branches
of sport at the club should be given more
attention.
The club now owns eighty acres of land,
all lying beautifully. and real estate men
say this is worth $1,000 an acre. The club
can buy the other thirty acres for $3.50 an
acre from j. A. McShane. This part of
the golf course does not lie as pretty as
the part owned by the club.
Many of the members think too much at
tention is paid to golf and not enough to
tennis, a bowling alley and other forms Of
amusements which might be installed II so
much money was not spent for golf. The
golfers claim that the club needs the thirty
acres and that 1t should be bought now
when 1t may be had for a small amount.
A match game of golf will be played
this afternoon between teams chosen
by Euclid Martin on the one side and C. c.
Montgomery on the other. About forty
players will be chosen by each captain for
the contest and the losing side will pay
club.
After the dinner the annual meeting OF
the club will be held when the golfers
and those who do not play golf will have
it out hot and heavy.

BLAST WAKES UP OFFICIALS
Explosion Mt Court House Excavation
Brings Life to Some of the
Occupants.

The torpor into which the Douglas county
court house has fallen during the last few
days when absolutely no county business
is being transacted was rudely broken
Friday afternoon by the dirt diggers who
are finishing the excavation for the new
court house.
Blasting has been resumed in the corners
where the steam shovel cannot be utilized,
and accidentally one charge was placed too
close to the old building.
The charge was just under the window
Of County Judge Leslie on the west side,
and it went off with a loud explosion; 1t
shook the old building so that the shock
was felt in every office. Clyde Sund-
blad, clerk In the office OF the county
Judge, disturbed in his peaceful somno-
lence, declares that at old building came
within an inch OF topping over into the
big hole and every other employe solemnly
asservates that the sensation was more
like ar earthquake then they ever care
to feel again. The blasters were warned,
however, and went farther away with
their next charge. The court house has
gone back to sleep again.

Reduced Rates
for Ak-Sar- Ben
Fare Of One and 0ne-Half for Round
Trip is Announced by the
Burlington.

Omaha will get the usual rates for the
Ak-Sar-Ben festivities unless all signs fail,
for the Burlington road has made the
opening wedge and it is safe to say all
roads will follow suit with just as good
rates.
The Burlington Friday announced that
special rates of one and one-half fare
for the round trip would be given from all
points in Nebraska to Omaha with a
minimum fare of 70 cents. The reduced
rates will also apply from all points in
Iowa and Missouri on the Burlington where
the one way rate is 50 or less. The dates
of sale for the tickets will be october 4 to
s, with a return limit good until october II.
Last year the Burlington made rates to
Ak-Sar-Ben and all other roads followed
suit except the Union Pacific. which put

OF the burnt district with an eye on the
flames, he felt a tingling sensation In the

tantaliEing that he got hungry hours be-
fore lunch time, smote his olfactories. Fol-
lowing up the odor he discovered a family
in the Thirsty Third whose late supper was
to consist chiefly OF boiled cabbage.
AHA! A clue!" quoth the trusty beat
walker, his brass buttons being strained as
his chest swelled with pride at the thought
of serious work ahead. "Methinks I'll have
to jail somebody"
And, sure enough, hi did-In fact, two
"somebodies" are behind the bars as the
result OF that little whiff OF boiled cab
bage aroma.

This list shows something Of the i'm
portance and prominence Of Omaha as a
convention city. These state and national
conventions and festivals all taking place
this fall within a period Of four months
will bring thousands and thousands Of peo-
pie to Omaha from every part Of the United
States. Canada, Mexico. Alaska and the
insular possessions Of Uncle Sam.
From now on until Christmas Omaha will
be in the public eye and attired in it's go-to-
meeting ureSB. Men ana women of every
legitimate station of life will visit the
city. Beginning with the chief executive
Of the nation and going down to the hum
blest of citizens, Omaha will entertain all
its friends with that spirit of hospitality
for which already 1t is famous.
This list above does not include mention
Of President Taft, but he will visit Omaha
September 20, when a banquet will be given
for him at the Omaha club and when King
Ak-Sar-Ben will Initiate him into the mys-
teries of knighthood at the celebrated den.
He will also visit the public schools and
talk to the children.
The first convention will be the Ne
braska Fire Underwater association next
Tuesday and Wednesday; then comes the
Nebraska Bankers association, Wednesday,
Thursday and Friday. The Eagles will
take the town by storm September IS and
stay a week. This is looked upon as the
biggest convention of the year and will
draw, 1t is estimated. 10000 from all over
the country.
The National Corn exposition last year
broke all records on the number of people
II drew to the city, and it seems certain
the show this year will far eclipse the
splendid record made last season.

Over $250,O0O are already involved in the

actively executed In Council Bluffs. In one
scheme alone the victims were swindled

CLINCS TO PASTOR.AT.LARCE
Omaha Presbytery Arranges to Re-
tain Rev. R. N. L. Braden.
EXCEPTION TO RULE OF BOARD
Proper AppOrtiOnment of Church Be
nevOIences VIII BE an Important
Matter of Business for the
Presbytery Next Week.

The Omaha Presbytery will convene at
North church, Omaha, Monday, September
10, for the transaction of some important
business.
One Of the chief matters will be hat of
the pastor-at-large for the Presbytery.
Rev. II. M. L. Braden now holds that Of
flee and has held II for twenty years, and
his services are emineptly satisfactory to
the board, the churches and the Presbytery.
But the church board in New York, under
which he works, has been eliminating pas
tors-at-large over the country. The board
has also been paying the salaries of these
ministers. Now, the Omaha Presbytery is
strongly averse to dispensing with the
services Of Rev. Mr.. Braden, and to meet
the board half way and secure a special
dispensation Of it's newly adopted rule, has
proposed to pay half the salary and let
the board pay the other half and allow the
pastor.at-large to continue. This will be
done.
Prof. Charles Heron of he Omaha Theo-
logical seminary, moderator. will preside
over the Presbytery.
Another subject of vital interest to the
i Very is its share in the educational
.ich opens in Omaha under the new
University. This is to be as broad
stantism, and while a work prob
a..s ,ll always be maintained at Belle
vuc, 1t is the earnest conviction of some
that all now done there, except preparatory
work, can be done by the new institution
opening in the Redick property.
Some OF the Bellevue faculty will this
year assist in the new work In the city
and It is hoped by all concerned that such
an adjustment may be made as will Civ
Omaha front rank in educational matters.
Question OF B-enevOIences.
In the fall meetings Of P~resbyteries there
are many Items of interest to members of
the Presbyterian church which call for at
tention. The church has made marked adj
vance in It's benevolence. Gifts are larger
this year than ever. The foreign mission
board has been able to meet all expense
and pay $4,000 besides on Indebtedness.
some advance work will be undertaken
along the line of increasing the number of
workers on the field and in caring for the
children of those already there. The num-
Der of native helpers will be increased
materially. In order that there may be a
proper balance in the benevolences and
that the interests of the growing home
field In the expanding northwest may be
conserved. an executive commission has
been created by the general assembly, one
duty OF which is to name the minimum
amount which should be raised for this
and for all other benevolent causes re-
gularly presented to the churches.
Presbyterians have always been averse
to anything that looked like assessments.
so this is thought as merely advisory and
not mandatory. Yet It is hoped that while
It will not decrease the amount given to
foreign missions, but really encourage a
continued increase. 1t will also increase in
like ratio the gifts 10 all other established
work.
