SYRIAN PEDDLERS ARE
FINED IN COURT HERE
Two of Them Arraigned Before JUS
tice Wayne and Given Fines
Aggregating $20.50.
CITY OVER RUN WITH THEM
Officers Are Making an Effort to
Drive Them Away - Methods
of Some Questionable.

Peddlers of all kinds have been vis-
fling the homes in this city lately,
urging the housewives to do their
Christmas shopping early. Tuesday
two Syrian peddlers were fined 5000
e. ch before Justice Wayne for sell
ing without license. One of these
was arrested by Constable J. At
Brown and the other by Sheriff Bar
nett.
From what the officers tell US the
peddler is a common nuisance in this
city now and his method Of entering
homes is so persistent that many
housewives keep their screen doors
latched as a protection when they
say "No."
One of the officers told how a ped
der offered some Of his wares for
sale in court. The first price was
$3.50, but he finally lowered it to
$1.50.
1t is unfortunate that something
cannot be done to discontinue this
method of doing business. The Leg
itimate merchants of the town suf-
fer from such trade practice and the
buyer is victimized more often than
he knows.

THE STATE OR PARTY.

a
SEMI OCCASIONALLY someone
"kills off" W. j. Bryan, and the latest
in the direction is the announcement
that he is "sore and is moving out of
Nebraska and is going to join the Pro-
hibition Party" Neither statement is
true. Referring to the charge that
he is moving from Nebraska, he stat
ed in Chicago Monday:
"I do not mind denying it again. p
said Mr.. Bryan. "Why should anyone
leave nice, dry State like Nebras-
ka? We expect to spend our winters
at Miami, Fla, and part of our sum-
mers at Asheville, but our home will
remain at Lincoln. I will do my vot-
ing there and we will live there part
of each year"
Fifteen thousand persons crowded
Michigan boulevard for two blocks
last night in a vain endeavor to get
into Orchestra Hall to hear Bryan
lecture on 1.-THE Commandments. "
Orchestra Hall was filled two hours
before the time set for Bryan to ap-
pear as the speaker for the Sunday

Regarding the report that he was
going to join the Prohibition Party,

Ledger Special.

Ledger special.
KANSAS CITY, Nov. %. - Judge
Hook, of the Federal Court, of this
city, ruled this morning that the Ad-
amson eight-hour law was unconsti-
tutional. In holding down his decis-
ion he urged that everything be done
to expedite the movement of the case
to the Supreme Court of the United
States before it becomes effective on
January first.
All the railroads will be asked to
join in the issue. The decision in the
present case was the result of the
Missouri, Oklahoma & Gulf R. R. move
to enjoin the measure.
Judge Hook said that if the receiv-
ers and the government got the case
advanced in the Supreme Court,
he desired Mr.. Miller, representing
the receivers of the M. o. & S. R. R.,
to write all the other railroads and in
vite them to join him in presenting
the case to the Supreme Court -
thus making it possible for the one
hearing to pass upon the Adamson
Act.
By this speedy action, the govern
ment has forced the railroads into the
defensive.

ETY. to Delightful Evening In
Organizations Splendid Hall.

Ecleadean Lodge, No. 1876, Knights
Pythias entertained with a banquet
and musical Monday evening at which
there were over $50 guests. Tables
were placed in the large lodge room
and when the members and their wives
and other guests were seated every
chair was filled. A delicious sand.
wich lunch with coffee and ice cream
was served by number of the young
er members of the lodge.
F. A. Morris was postmaster and

most acceptable manner. The Rev.

Pauls Episcopal Church, pronounced
the invocation. L. H. Kelsey, of st.
Joseph, former state officer of the
Knights Pythias, whose son attends
NJ. M. A., was present and made a

nalism" and outlined the salient points
and advantages Of such organiza-
tons as the Knights Pythias in a
thoroughly impressive manner.

her auditors in laughter most of the
time as she presented her subject in
an especially clever and humorous
style.
E. A. Shannon spoke on "The Lad
les" and in a short and appropriate
toast, filled with fun and poetry, did
honor to the many ladies in attend
ance.
The musical part of the program
was exceptionally delightful. When

Hisey are upon any program the sue
cess of that portion Of it is always
assured. Both sang pretty numbers
and were in good voice.
Of the charter members of the lodge
only four are living and in active
membership. They are T. ]. Kelso,
Sam Evans, R. D. Worrell and Phillip
Shire.
The evening was a delightful sue
cess and fully as enjoyable as the

fraternal events of the summer.
