Council NO HALFWAY MEASURES WILL DO Number of Injunction Snits Pending, and Report in Anti-Saloon League | WIIl Insint on the Extreme Penalty. Striet technical compliance with all the provisions of the mulet law by the saloon- men of Council Bluffs is to be demanded by the lowa Anti-SBaloon league, Iz the statement of M. 8. Odle, attorney for hat organisation. - There are to be no hait measures and any saloonman violating in the slightest degree the provisions of the mulet law fs to be put out of business the slogan of the anti-saloon forces. There are listed for hearing before Judge Wheeler in the district court Monday twenty-elght ) saloon Injunction suits brought by the lowa Anti-Saloon league, in which Joseph Leader, a resident of the town of Oakland, appears as plaintitf and M. 8, Odle as attorney. Leader is a leading member of the Pottawattamie County Anti- Baloon league and at the general election last November was a candidate for member of the board of supervisors on the pro- hibition ticket, Incidentally it may be noted that the suc- cessful prosecution of these saloon injunc- tion suits nets the attorney for the plain- tiff & fes of 325 in each case as provided by law. This fee I8 taxed against the de- fendant saloonkeeper. Until a few years ago the fee In such cases was $100 and at one term of court in Council Bluffs & local attorney who made a practice and incident- is #ults against saloonmen, netted $3,000. It Is the iIntentlon, it is stated, in the cases which are to come up for a hearing Monday before Judge Wheeler, to ask in- junctions, not only against the saloon- keepers, but against the property also, and to ask orders of abatement. Such an order if carried into effect would result in the issuance of & writ of abatement, the selz- ure and destruction of all liquor found in the place, the selzure of the saloon fix- tures and the closing of the bullding for a period of one year agalnst use for ealoon purposes. The saloonmen regard the situation as most serlous and they are now endeavoring to devise some means whertby they can stave off the Impending descent of the | sword now h ‘ver thelr heads. Dur- ing tha last féw days a petition has been circulated Among them asking that the prosecutfon of thé cases brought under the directioh of the ‘lowa Anti-Saloon league be s lod, ®xcept in those cases where flagrant violations f the law are known ! to have Been committed. The signers of the petition agree that in the future they | will comply’ strigtly with the terms of the | law.

A characteristic of Brandels stores that always makes each season anticipated with interest is that every opening dis- play surpasses the last in magnificence When Omaha's lovers of beauty and fashion visit the Brandels spring opening tomorrow they will find the store interlor is decorated to represent the most meg- nificent of old Roman gardens. The character of the period has been closely followed by the decorators in arrange- ment of the colonnades, friezes and groups of statuary. The rotunda of the store will be the central point of interest. From the top of the court, cleverly arranged to give an effect of sky, down through the maze of foliage and blossoms the whole wcene will be typical of early spring. Friezes and statuary groups in old ivory are historically accurate. On the court bridge of the second floor a rustic pergola will be a unique attraction. The entire store interior will come in for a share of appropriate decoration. The windows were unvelled yesterday, to the delight of thousands who appreci- ate artistic decoration and color harmony. Each window depicts an Inner court of an Italian garden of & recent period. High hedges of ruscus, banks of orchids and tulips, pergolas, classic axch gates, grace- tul winding walks, benches and fountains of stone all form harmonious grounds for the display of the richest of costumes, millinery and accessories, most of which were expressly Imported for the opening. The color schemes in the windows are marvels of harmony. Costumes are shown in ultra-fashionable shades of wisteria bronze, turquoise, old rose, coral, yreen, golden and black. The designer of the decoration has cleverly contrived to make @ach window a complete picture in itmelf. Seek Facts About River.

MARJORIE KING IS MARRIED One of Central Figures of Bamner Murder Trial Becomes the Bride of a Stoux City Man. F. B. Bbersol, president of the Independ- ent Telephone company, In response to an inquiry of the city council concerning the intent of the company toward carrying out its franchise contract with the city, sent letter which the city clerk received yes- terday, stating that the company would be- #in the erection of its exchange building and would complete its conduit system this spring as soon as the weather settled. He intimated that the telephone system would be In working order by the time the two years' limit fixed by the franchise had ex- pired. The company received its franchise by & vote of the people in a special election held over a year ago. Barly last spring the conduits were laid on Twenty-fifth street in advance of the paving of that street. The company purchased a site for the ex- change bullding from David Anderson at Twenty-fifth and M streets, opposite the Workmen temple. Since that time nothing has been done. Sections of the econduits which had been distributed along other streets were again taken up late last fall and piled on the vacant lot.

South Omaha School Not Dropped. N. M. Graham of the South Omaha High school is anxious to correct a rumor to the effect Bouth Omaha had been dropped from the accredited list of the North Cen- tral Assoclation of Universities. Such a report was printed in Chicago. No such knowledge has been communicated to South Omaha, the city most concerned. Mr. Gra- ham communicated with Inspector Reed of the State Bureau of Accredited High schools concerning the matter. Mr. Reed sald as far as he knew no action had been taken by the committee of the assoola- tion which would affect South Omaha. Further he sald he thougnut the standard of the South Omaha institution fully up to requirements and that the city could not be dropped; but might demand recognition, The effect of dropping the city would be that all students of South Omaha would have to take an entrance examination upon applying for enrollment in any of the col- leges of the assoclation.
