The Cali on the Uber Case.

The following is an extract from the
Call in au editorial on the Uber case:
In the meantime it is gratifying
that the case when fully examined
makes a nuc better showing for the
people Of Nevada than appears on the
surface. An effor:, really in earnest
on the part of the officers of the law,
was made TO bring the lynchers to
justice. Tho prosecuting attorney did
his work with Zeal and seems to have
submitted to the jury abundant evil
dence to prove the case OF the State
against the accused. 4 considerable
number Of the Grand jury also we're
ready and willing to act. Justice
failed simply because a number Of
thrifty citizens whose devotion to
ecouOmy would have made them eX-
cellent Supervisors were by a freak Of
fortune turned from that office and
Landed in the Grand Jury.

Notes of the Exposition.

The Nebraska Telephone company will
have its new switchboard in operation
some time this week.
The gardeners have trimmed the dead
leaves and weeds out OF the flower beds
on the Bluff tract. The result Is that the
appearance of the flower beds has been
very materially changed for the better.
The colored lights in the electric fountain
in the basin of the lagoon have been
turned on and work in a satisfactory man

Montgomery Ward g. Co., who say they
are not looking for city trade, say their
trade Is among the armers, miners, me-
chanics and l%aborers, are creating an i'm
preston among Omaha people that II we
are not very much mistaken will force
them to take city trade. Many OF our best
families will buy their sewing machine at
$40. so, for IL is well known that they are
a most reliable firm and when they guar
antee this machine to be as good as the
best it's simply so and counts with Omaha
people.
Some time ago the exposition management
considered the advisability Of closing the
admission gates on the north tract. Since
then, however, the men in charge of the
admission department have changed their
minds and this gate is one that will stay.
During the last few days the gate on the
extreme north side has been the popular
one. People visiting the exposition, realiz-
Ing that there Is a crowd usually at the
Sherman avenue and the Twenty fourth
street gates, have ridden around TO the
north side and upon entering the grounds
have passed down Twentieth street. While
this entrance is growing in popularity and
drawing the crowd its real worth will not
| become apparent until the Indian congress
exhibit is fully established, which will he

INJURED PRINTER ACTS QUEER
Ossie Mcnamara Spends His Time Set
ting Imaginary Type ut the
Police stnttou.

Ossie Mcnamara, who received a blow
on the head early yesterday morning, seems
TO be suffering from a mental arrangement
as the result of the assault. During the
day yesterday he was partially conscious,
but was apparently unable to talk. He
spent most of the time going through the
motions of a printer setting up type, that
being his usual occupation. Last night he
had not r~egained consciousness and con-
tinued to act strangely. The wound on the
head is not considered dangerous, as there
is no fracture OF the skull.
McNamara's assailant has not been ar
rested and no trace OF him has been found.
A special officer on Ninth street says that
Mcnamara spent most of Monday evening
in the saloons in that neighborhood in COM
pany with two men. The one who later
struck the blow provided the money and
the others drank at his expense. The police
are Of the opinion that Mcnamara and his
penniless friend finally tried to collect fur
Their funds by force and that the other man
proved too strong for them. The story OF
Stephen Dyer, cousin Of Mcnamara and in
his company, is that they were sitting In
the alley near Tenth and Douglas streets
when McNamara's assailant ran out OF the
saloon at that corner and attacked the men
with an iron bar. He can give no reason
for the attack.

NOW THE TIME TO BORROW
Plenty of Good Money iu the Banks
IN to he Had
Cheap.

Prospective borrowers in Omaha and vi
entity, who have good collateral, will proba-
bly, never have an opportunity to secure
money so easily, and at so low a rate of
interest as at tho present time. All of the
banks have an abundance of money which
they are ANXIOUS to loan, and all report
little demand
b. Il. Wood, cashier Of the Merchants
National bank, says the present conditions
are not profitable to the banking business,
but are doubtless satisfactory to the publi,
generally. Farmers and business men seem
to have all the money they need for their
present requirements. and are, therefore, not
necessitated to call upon their banke" for
accommodations. He looks for q better Ge-
mand when the crops begin to move, when
it will require a large amount of moncy TO
hanLie what the state has raised during
the year.
H. w. Yates, president of the Nebraska
National bank, confirms the statement as to
the quantity of money held by the banks
in Omaha, and says he feels safe that loans
on good security can be secured at 5 per cent.
The lack in the demand" said he, lis due
more to cautiousness Of our business men
than to the possession by them Of sufficient
money for their wants. The experiences of
the last few years have been a dearly bought
lesson to nearly all the people, and they
are not venturing into anything which does
not promise a sure return on their money.
They have also learned that the best laid
plans of business men and others are often
destroyed through unwise political agitation.
This makes them hesitate until such time
as they feel assured that this agitation has
passed the stage where 1t can be much Of
a factor.
conditions should not be thus. Capital
should ever be willing to be risked on in
vestment. That is what 1t is for. No mat
ter If it shall sometimes be lost, that is
what makes good times. So long as capital
holds back until it thinks it sees a sure
thing, just so long will times TO a certain
extent be dull. The recent heavy subscrip-
tions to the new government war loan were
not SO much an evidence of abundance of
money in the country, as it was positive
testimony that that money is idle, and bring
ing the owner no return"
Tell your friends said C. w. Lyman,
president of the Commercial National bank,
that If they will bring us flrst-class collat-
eral we will furnish them all the money they
can carry away. There is lots of money
in the banks in Omaha, but it cannot be
told how long this condition will remain
If any considerable portion of the new
war loan shall be allotted to this vicinity
it may make heavy inroads upon the sur
plus. 1t is possible that many who have
subscribed TO that loan haven't their money
on deposit in the banks, but it Is known
that a large number Of others are deposit
ors, and if their bids are accepted 1t will
draw upon the supply of the banks JUS
to that amount"
Mr.. Lyman looks for an improvement il
the demand for money when the time come.

ANOTHER CONTEMPT CASE
Judge Scott Has the Nebraska Chill
dren's Home Society Before
His Bar.

Judge Scott OF the district court has still
another contempt case pending. 1t involves
the Nebraska Children's Home society. He
has ordered its president, l.. ID. Holmes, and
its superintendent, Elmer p. Quivey, to ap-
pear Friday and give a reason why they
should not be attached for contempt for fail
ure TO produce certain children-erstwhile
wards of the society-in court last Satur-
day. The secretary of the society is Rev.
l.. p. Ludden of Lincoln. and on its board
Of managers are w. A. Saunders, w. H.
! Alexander, Governor Silas A. Holcomb, w.
p. Hartford, Rev. S. Wright Butler of the
st. Mary's Avenue Congregational church,
Rev. T. j. Mackay, rector of All Saints
church, Rev. r. l.. Wheeler, 1. w. Carpen-
ter and other equally prominent men.
The case at issue is a habeas corpus one
brought by Benjamin T. Dodd and his wife
of Grand Island, parents of the children
being fought over. They had ten
children, which were growing up
with more liberty than care, Eventually
the parents we're prevailed upon to place
four of the children-all g~irls--in the hands
Of the society for better keeping. A suit
in equity to recover the children was first
brought by Dodd and his wife. Judge Scott
intimated to their attorney that the better
way to bring the case to a successful issue
would be to institute habeas corpus proceed
ings. This was done. the other suit being
dropped. The habeas corpus proceedings
made the society and Superintendent Quiyey
the respondents. A. S. Churchill represented
the petitioners and Carroll S. Montgomery
the respondents.
On behalf OF his clients Mr.. Montgomery
filed an answer to the effect that the chill
dren are outside the custody of the society
and not within the jurisdiction of the
county, as they have been placed with peo-
pie throughout the state some distance from
Douglas county and from each other. One
has already been adopted, and the other
three are in the hands of people under con-
tract with the society. Mr.. Churchill moved to
quash the answer on the grounds that il is
not sufficient. The court sustained this
motion. An amended answer suffered the
same fate. Then the court issued an order
commanding the respondents to produce the
children on Saturday. When Saturday came
there were no children on hand. Hence
the contempt order against Messrs. Holmes
and Quivey, returnable Friday.
An effort is to be made by the counsel for
the Nebraska Children's Home Society to
have the case removed TO some other court
on the ground that Judge Scott has pre-
conceived bias, inasmuch as he suggested
the habeas corpus proceedings.

SCENE SHIFTERS PEACEFUL
stnge Hands Get Their Bir Row Adj
justed and Are Ready Co
DO Business.

The Executive Board Of the National AL
lance OF Theatrical Stage Employees was in
secret session all day yesterday, beginning
at Q in the morning and continuing business
until nearly 6 o'clock, with only n short re-
cess for lunch. at was rather a stormy
meeting" said President Norman, but now
everything is settled to the best OF sat
isfaction and we are as amiable and peace
full as so many lambs.
ut was all the result OF a misunderstand-
ing In which some OF the officers were to
blame because of not attending to the reg
ular meetings. G.. w. Glenny OF Chicago,
secretary of the Alliance, together with n
few of the members Of the Executive Board,
had these charges made against them be-
cause they did not attend to business, and
the affairs of the association became to
mixed up that the local in Omaha thought
1T time to take a hand in the matter" The
discussion over the charges was a long one
which lasted three hours Monday evening
and eight hours yesterday.
After the long session yesterday morning
and afternoon it was decided to give the
members of the association q rest. and no
meeting was held in the evening. This
morning the affairs of the Alliance will not
be kept so secret and the sergeant-at-arms
VIII not look WIN so mucn scrutiny on
all who try to enter. Yesterday the board
cleared all the officers charged with un-
official business and laid no blame whatever
to their actions.
These stage employees are naturally a
stormy lot of individuals, and as their sec
rotary said on the day Of the first session,
Nothing is the matter, we always have
more or less fighting in our midst All of
their sessions in Omaha seem to have been
along this order. When asked about the
secret sessions yesterday the sergeant-at
arms said, yes, it's pretty lively in here, we
haven't called for the ambulance or the
police force yet, but they're having some
warm work in there now"
After the conclusion of yesterday after.
Moons meeting one member said he didn't
think it was a very noisy meeting. "wh,
you should see them sometimes; this ses.
sion is hardly a circumstance to what we
have had. One time at a meeting in thu
south they went at each other tooth anC
nail and hats and visages were smashed
right and left. No, l don't consider tina
our present session has been a very storm,
one"
Mum is the word with all the delegate,
concerning matters relating to proceeding
OF the Executive Board and only the fac
that the officers were cleared could be as
certained from them.

KNIFE TO CLOSE THE DEAL
Real Estate Trade that Gets the
Parties Into Several Sorts
OF Trouble.

Earl Floyd. who is alleged to be a land
swindler by Julius Jorgenson, proprietor OF
the Pioneer hotel, Twelfth and Farnam
streets, Is in the city Jail for an attempt on
the life of Jorgenson. Floyd attacked Jor-
genson with a knife yesterday afternoon
and would tslve seriously injured
him had it not been for the interference of
the hotel cook, Henry Smith, who grappled
with Floyd. Smith received a bad wound in
one of his hands.
The assault is the sequel OF a real estate
transaction between Floyd and Jorgenson.
Saturday Floyd, who posed at the hotel as
a land owner from Missouri, offered Jor-
censor 100 acres of land in Stoddard county,
Missouri, in exchange for the hotel property,
which Jorgenson held at $500. On the land
Floyd said there were 402 fruit trees and a
six-room house. Jorgenson accepted the
offer and Floyd made over a deed to the
hotel man, who in turn gave him a bill
of sale for the hotel furnishings. Sunday
Jorgenson wired to the county clerk Of
Stoddary county asking for information
about the land and received a reply from
a real estate agent who signed himself
Walter Phelan and who claimed the land
was his and not Floyd's. He Immediately
sought Floyd, who had taken possession of
the hotel, and asked for an explanation, but
received no satisfaction. Monday evening
he went before Justice Clark at Benson
and took out replevin papers. With the
justice and a constable he went back to
the hotel to serve the writ, but Floyd would
not listen to its reading and ordered the
trio out of the house.
Floyd became so violent toward the con-
stable that a policeman was called and
| Floyd was placed under arrest, charged
with disorderly conduct. Yesterday after
noon his case was heard in police court
and he was given a suspended sentence of
twenty days. Immediately on his release
he was arrested by Constable Hardy of
Justice Houck's court. charged with hav-
ing resisted an officer. He was released,
however, an hour after on bonds of $500.
Upon his release he went to the hotel
armed with a knife and sought the life OF
Jorgenson. The latter promises to swear
out warrants against Floyd for swindling'
