Labor Approves
Cooperative Store
Central Union Goes on Record in
Favor of Plan-Ten Dollars
for Mcnamara.

After two months of discussion and delay
the Central Labor union last night en-
dorsed the project of a cooperative store
The action taken was simply to give the
sanction OF organized labor to the move
ment.
c. E. Wickes of Council Bluffs, who Or
ganized the mercantile cooperative store
in that city, is to organize the Omaha con-
Germ. Working with a committee Of three
from the Central Labor union he is to get
the subscriptions of 200 members of or
ganlzed labor to one share each at IS a
share before the plan is put In operation.
The committee appointed was as follows:
w. j. Light, L. Duncan and w. r.
Mathenson.
The question whether any but members
Of organized labor should be permitted to
hold stock gave rise to a great deal of dis
cussion But the question was finally
dropped when the debaters realized that IL
was out Of their jurisdiction. as the union
was merely giving its sanction to the
project.
A committee of five was appointed to
assist w. A. Christian secretary of the
State Federation Of Labor. in making ar
rangements for the state convention of that
| body TO be held here September r. Mr..
NAii AShtaAS haeh AbA a UNION idDei Iair,
showing the variety of union goods that
are on the market, was enthusiastically
adopted.
Resolutions unfavorable to the proposed
arbitration treaty Of the United States with
England we're adopted and voted sent 10
| congressional representatives and the press.
Ten dollars was voted for the Mcnamara
defense fund in reply TO a spirited COM
munication from the American Federation
Of Labor asking aid.
W. r.. Mathenson was elected vice presi-
dent 10 fiji a place made vacant by the
repeated absence OF the former occupant.
and James Edison in a similar manner was
elected sergeant-at-arms.

The first intercollegiate peace oratorical
contest was held Friday night at Creighton
auditorium, when Glenn l.. Rice, represent
ing Bellevue college. was given first honors
by the decision OF the judges. Omar p
Sullivan of Creighton took second place.
The subject proved an exceedingly interest
ing one and held a critical audience
throughout.
All the arguments were convincing and
the question of place seemed confined TO
delivery. Mr.. Rice covered the many good
points of his subject nicely and is a dis
tinct talker. Incidental TO the coveted
honor of winning is a prize OF SIS, donated
by William Jennings Bryan and Mr.. Rice
becomes the claimant of this.
Omar p Sullivan, who finished second.
won applause not wholly emanating from
Creighton loyalty. He brought out every
conviction of his theme in a convincing
manner. Possessing a natural oratorical
bent, a distinct talker and q becoming ap-
pearance, he combined them all in his
delivery. and with the natural ease OF his
every movement entirely captivated his
audience. He manifested an extensive
study of his subject and impressed his
audience with each idea. He merits the
additional honor Of $50 II he gives over
copyright of his manuscript 10 the Misses
Mary and Helen 'seabold Of New Bedford,
Mass
The other two participants were Eugene
Bishop OF York college and Robert Sim
mons OF Hastings.
The former may have proved a stronger
contender. but he suffered a lapse OF
memory during his delivery which was
probably due TO his evident haste. and
was twice rescued by consultation with his
manuscript
Mr. Simmons had a good speech. but was
scarcely convincing enough in putting forth
his ideas
Phillip r. Koran opened the program by
explaining the subject. The judges OF the
contest were A. w Waterhouse, superin-
tendent Of the Fremont schools: w. l..
Stephens Of the Lincoln schools ana J. IL.

Fourteen hundred bibles to be distributed
in the rooms Of Omaha hotels are stacked
in the Young Mems Christian association
assembly room waiting, for the Gideons to
put them where they are to go. Since their
organization as a national society twelve
years ago the Gldeons, the Christian
travelling men," have placed $1,000 bibles
in the rooms of hotels all over the country
and il is their wish to put holy book in
every hotel room in North America.
In Omaha there are about $500 rooms
which the travelling men would like to see
supplied with bibles and 1000 more will be
purchased to complete the work as soon
as possible. Hotel keepers have given
testimony frequently to the Gideons that
the placing of the bibles makes their light
bills heavier, which proves, at least, that
they are read and there have been many
stories collected showing that they have a
direct and wide influence for good.
The Gideons will distribute their bibles
in procession which will march from the
Young Mems Christian association meeting
Immediately after the special gospel meet
ing to be held this afternoon. There are
forty men in the local organization and
they want to get as many more men as
possible to help with the distribution. In
Chicago there was a parade of 100 men,
and they would like to see a larger crowd
in Omaha. At the gospel meeting j. {.

CITY DECIDES ON FIRE BONDS
Ordinance for 100000 to Be Pre-
sented to Council Tuesday.
ELECTION TO BE HELD SOON
Mayor DahIman Says that Hundred
Thousand is All that the city
VIII BE Permitted to Vote
For mt This Time.

An ordinance declaring the necessity of
voting 100000 in bonds to erect three new
engine houses in the city, will be presented
to the city council Tuesday night. Mayor
Dahlman stated Saturday morning that
satisfactory arrangements had been made
with the county board of commissioners to
hold the election in conjunction with the
water board and county elections.
June q is being considered as the date
for holding the elections.
''rhe ordinance will be presented Tues
day night" said the mayor. Two weeks
time will he required to pass the measure.
Then we must give ten days notice by
publication which will permit us to hold
the election on June q. If the others are
held then.
I'VE have decided to ask for not more
than 100000. In fact, we could not exceed
this sum IL we desired. City Attorney Rine
states that we cannot so above this amount
as the city is permitted to vote only $780,
600 in bonds annually. Already $4,000 have
been issued for intersection and park pur-
poses But we can make the contemplated
repairs for $4,000 in my opinion"
The money is wanted for erecting new
engine house at sixteenth and lizard streets
and another at Tenth and douglas streets,
and third at Nineteenth and Harvey
streets. the latter 10 replace inc one now
located at Eighteen and Harvey streets,
which is rented by the city at an annual
cost Of $500
The special election for the court house
bonds and water bonds, which had been
| planned for June 81 can not be held until
later. owing to the non-appeaTance OF any
delegation from the water board the
county commissioners took no action Satur-
day to provide for the election on that
date and thirty days published notice Is
/ reauired.
