Against Retirement Pensions.
OMAHA. Sept 12-To the Editor OF
The Bee: I see the letter carriers want
a pension when they are worn out. This
pension business is getting to be a
loathesome burden. Who furnishes the
money for pensions? Isn't It the public /?
Why is a policeman or a fireman or a
letter carrier any more entitled to a
pension that a teamster or a bricklayer
or a carpenter or painter or thousands
OF others?
When a letter carrier gets tired working
and wants to quit, theses lots who want
his place who are just as good as he
was. Then why have to pension a let
ter carrier. I work in the packing house
at % cents per hour. II l am efficient
enough to provide the policeman or fire
man or letter carrier with a Juicy steak
or roast, my pension is that hold my
job, otherwise l get fired.
Yesterday the dailies contained pict-
ures OF a group of women. wives OF let
ter carriers. who were about as healthy
ana well-fed a bunch as was ever got
together. They did not look the need OF
pensions. JOHN LARKIN.

Doing Tolerably Well.

Rev. BILLY" Sunday is roasting his Omaha
audiences as "tight-wads." and exhorting them
daily to dig up and make good the expense
count advances faster. But the truth is that
Omaha is doing tolerably we'll by the Sunday
revival. and the Rev. BILLY" must know it. for
he knows better than anyone else what has been
done In other cities. We are able to make COM
PARSONS OF only three cities in approximately
the same class. where for the first seven days
OF the Sunday engagement the returns we're as
follows:
First Days Attendance Collections.
Omaha 129 900 Sc gs "
Paterson i5 200 .......... I142O
Des Moines 500 .......... 5246.2)
SO we repeat that Omaha is doing tolerably
well, except possibly for the discrepancy that
estimates the expense account here at $4,000,
whereas in Des Mones it was only $4,000,
which would indicate that Omaha has half again
as much money to raise for this purpose than
did our friends in Des Moines.

"What?" exclaimed the startled
reporter, thinking that the picture

did not survive on funds.
You didn't get me-, said Mr..
Briel. II have resumed the World

the one for Friday will be "Mon-

and now you want to see it. The
production is thrilling from the

BIG TIME HERE
SATURDAY NIGHT

Many big things are coming at
once on Saturday night, October
l6 (tomorrow). All of the events
have been widely advertised and
there will surely be something
stirring in all lines Of amusement.
To start things off Manager Briel
has engaged two big features for
the picture show, which will start
promptly at 8 o'clock. Following:
BIG BOXING BOUT
One of the biggest scraps ever
stu ued in Southern Grant county
will take place when Young Ad
Wolgast and Speedy Moreno will
tackle IL in the ring for ten rounds
of boxing. Wolgast is a classy 124
pound pugilist from El Paso and
Moreno is the speedy 1872 pound
miner from the SO camp. Wolgast
has been in training here for the
past week, and is showing excel
lent form. The last fight Wolgast
had was on Labor Day in Trinidad,
Colo, where he knocked out the
Yankee Rue in three roundds. He
is the same boy who knocked out
Gene Payo at Clifton about a year
ago. Moreno is a heavy hitter with
a large list Of lInock-outs tackled to
his record. He has won fifteen
out Of seventeen battles and is
sure to give Wolgast a run for his
MONEY. The big ten round bout
promises to be a special attraction
and fight fans will be here from
all parts of the southwest.
AS a serni-windup Ralph Bart
lett ard Nickie Martinez will mix
for four rounds. Both are we'll
known local hard hitters and the
match has been very evenly made.
There is considerable betting on
the champion of this mill.
The big fight exhibition will
take place Immediately following
the picture show. The prices of
admission will be soc and $1.00.

DIED IN SILVER CITY

Morris Cohen, formerly of this
city, died at the New Mexico Cot
tage Sanatorium in Silver City last
week.
After spending some time at the
sanatorium when he first came to
5his country he engaged in busi-
ness in Silver City, being owner
for a time of a billiard and pool
room and later of the Bell bar. He
then removed to Lordsburg where
ne conducted the Mint Club. His
health continuing to fail him, he
returned to the sanatorium four
months ago. It was then seen by
physicians that nothing could be
done for him, but everything
known to science was tried in a
vain attempt to aid him. He made
a hard and brave fight for his
life, but the odds were too great
and he paid at last that "debt we
all must pay to fate.
The remains were shipped to the
home of his brother in Duluth,
MINI. Deceased was 80 years old
and q native of Russia.

nmIN THE PLAYAs

That there is a good oil field
in the Playas Valley, southern
Grant county, New Mexico, has
been known for several years by
cattlemen, who discovered it while
drilling shallow wells for water.
One we'll was sunk about six
years ago by the shore of Playas
Lake, lust a half mile west of the
Gold camp at Sylvanite, and the
water was so heavily charged with
petroleum that the we'll was plug
ged by the cowman, who pledged
the driller to keep the secret, fear
ing that there would be excitement
and rush that would imperll his
range.
r. 3. Buchanan, an old-timer
and prospector, was there at the
time, and mentioned it to his
friends. Often oil is seen on the
surface of the lake, which is i'll
marshy basin, being dry part of
the year and having shallow
body Of water in rainy seasons.
r. l.. Swan, the oil man, and E..
C. Perry, of Douglas, Ariz., have
returned after ten days inspection
of the possibilities of the Playas
field, and the former has selected
the site of the Moritz-Perry Com

according to dispatch, they intend
to put down at once Mr.. Swan has

d. w. Briel, who is operating the
Robert T.. Lee mine, in sinking a

to be the Nellie bly, vein. Every
indication points that he will be in
pay ore. The last work done on
the Nellie Bly,, on the 400 foot le-
vel, leading into the Lee mine, ex-
posed a vein over IL feet wide, that
carried a pay streak of over $4,000
in gold, silver and copper per ton.

working a large force Of men, in
addition to the work being done
by different sets of lessees. They
are shipping ore, which averages,
in car lots, $500 gold, $500 silver
and per cent copper per ton.
The Monte Rico Company is
driving its tunnel on Lees Peak,
which is over 900 feet, and have
cut a vein over five feet in width.

Sheriff May Not Get
Collection Of Taxes

Evidently having been apprised, by
underground wireless, that their prize
piece of attempted legislative dictation,
would not get through the hands Of the
Governor without his veto, the sponsors
for the Kelly bill, proposing to restore
the laties Of tax collector back into the
hands Of the sheriff and make it effec-
tive Immediately upon the signature of
the governor by attaching an emer-
gency clause onto it, last night moved
for +. reconsideration of the measure,

refused to concur in the senate amend
ment, the emergency clause, and ap-
pointed committee composed of Rep
resentatives Davey, Littlefield and Kel-
ly to confer with the senate for the
purpose of removing the Objectionable
feature.
BY attaching the emergency clause
to the bill it. was hoped that the al
legged threat Of the treasurers to refer
the bill, in the event Of its passage,
would be averted, but it developed that
tn trcasurers had engineered a new plan
of attack and procedure. In case the
governor had approved the bill with
the emergency clause attached, and il
was known that he was not Inclined
to do so, it is claimed that the treasur-
ers had planned to enjoin the enforce

recall and instructions to eliminate the
emergency clause practically assures the
invoking of the referendum upon the
