Arrangements Are BEING Made to
Have the Great Labor Leader
Lecture Here.

L. w. Rogers, manager for Eugene Debs,
is in the city arranging for the appearance
of the latter here January II, when he will
lecture under the auspices Of the Central
Labor union on Looking Forward"
Mr.. Rogers is one Of the six lieutenants
of Debs in the organization and conduct OF
the American Railway union and shared with
him a portion of his Imprisonment in the
Woodstock Jail in 1895, when he was sent
tbither for alleged contempt Of court in the
disobedience of the orders OF Judge Woods
of Chicago during the great Pullman strike.
Mr.. Rogers enjoyed the hospitalities Of the
Jail for three months, or just half the time
allotted to Debs. Like the latter, he is not
qualified by personal appearance for prison
service and his modest "reminiscences of his
experiences there are marked by the utmost
complacency. His appearance at Labor Tenn
pie was the signal for levee that brought
thither during the day all Of the local labor
leaders, who.manifested their extreme pleas
ure at meeting him.

GOVERNMENT BONDS TOO HIGH
Omaha DspositOries Not Inclined to Increase
Deposits Of Public Funds.
EFFECT OF StcRETARpS ANNOUNCEMENT
Coupled with New Currency Bill VIII
Relieve the strain Upon the In
sufficient Volume of Currency
for Commercial Ventures.

1t is not likely that any OF the national
repositories in Omaha will take advantage
OF the declared intention OF the secretary
OF the treasury that he will increase the
funds in depository banks by alotting to
them the receipts Of about 81 900, 900 a day
from internal revenues and the large bal
ance In the treasury. Inquiry made at four
OF hve repositories In Omaha as to the
likelihood of their increasing the govern
ment deposits ELECTED the following re-
sponses:
Victor b. Caldwell, Cashier United States
National Bank-l cannot say whether any
of the Omaha repositories will avail them
selves OF the opportunity to increase de-
poslts. Banks will be a good deal divided
as to whether they will take out circulation
under the new currency bill or purchase
bonds increasing the public deposits. but
this action OF the treasurer will have the
effect OF lettering conditions considerably
everywhere. The trouble is that the busi-
ness OF the country has increased so rapidly
and to such a volume that we haven't cur
rency with which to carry 1t on. Take for
instance the hardware business here in
Omaha. Hardware stocks cost at least so per
cent more than they did a short time ago,
and in addition to that the jobbers are re-
quired to carry larger stocks because they
have to get orders in so far ahead and they
must be prepared to meet demands upon
them 90 that it requires a great deal more
money to carry on the business than it did
formerly. There is actually not enough cur
rency to carry on business. The west is suf-
fering the same as the east The new cur
rency measure and this action of the
secretary of the treasury will re-
lieve the commercial strain and have oene-
hcial effect all over the country. Some of the
Omaha banks not now repositories may avail
themselves OF this proffered opportunity to
become repositories, but that requires some
time.
]. H. Millard. President Omaha National
think of increasing their government depos-
its. In order to do that they would have to
go out and buy government bonds and bonds
are too high now. To get 100000 of 3 per
cent bonds we would have to pay $4,000,
upon which we could secure deposits of only
100000 So you see that there is not very
much advantage to be gained by that. If
any bank has bonds on hand which it does
not wish to sell. it might increase it's de-
posits to advantage.
F. H. Davis, Cashier of First National
Bank-I don't know of any Omaha bank
that contemplatee doing ii.
Benjamin B. Wood Vice President Mer-
chants National Bank-I don't know that
any of them will increase their deposits
Bonds are too high now. They are held all
the way from 10 to 113, and it costs too much
to buy the bonds with which to secure de-
posits.

RnIIdinr statistics.

Building Inspector George Dunscombe has
prepared some data for the use of the Com
mercial club in relation to the number OF
buildings erected in South Omaha from Jan
uary ], 1898, to December Is, 1899. This is
virtually a period of two years, and the
statement shows that during this time 633
building permits have been issued. The
amount involved is enormous, as the total
shows an expenditure Of S4,44t,645. The
total appears to be all out of proportion
when compared with the number OF permits
issued but 1t must be remembered that the
entire Armour plant has been built within
the last two years.
Among the prominent buildings erected
within the twenty four months are the fol-
lowing: Armour's plant, estimated cost S2,
500, 900; Exchange building, at the stock
yards, SS5.00O; postoffice building, 100000;
Guy c. Barton's livery stable, $4,000; St.
Martins Episcopal church, Twenty fourth
and streets $4,000; Joeclyn block, $4,000;
T.. ]. Lewis block, smaller buildings and al
terations, 100000; Ensor block, $4,000,
Glasgow block, $4,000; Murphy block, S.
900; public school building, Twentieth and o
streets, $22,5O0; Highland school, $4,000;
additions to Lincoln, West Side and Brown
Park schools, $4,000. All of the packing
houses have made repairs and Cudahy has
erected car SHOPS anu u ueW SlyCtllHe ldC-
tory. Swift rebuilt his fertilizer and the
Hammond company erected number of
smokehouses. At the Omaha plant about
81 900 has been spent in repairing damage
caused by fire.
The majority Of the permits are for resi-
dences. About sixty of these residence per-
mits call for structures costing 81 900 or
over. but the great bulk are for houses cost
ing less than 81 900
great many laborers are buying lots in
the Second Third and Fourth wards and
erecting comfortable houses thereon.
The showing made by the building inspec-
tors office is remarkable and is a surprise
to great many. The data prepared by Mr..
Dunscombe will be used in a folder and
is now being prepared by the
Commercial club.
Real estate men and others predict that
there will be a great deal of building here
in 1900 Many new houses are being pro-
jected, and it is expected that number of
the packing houses will enlarge during the
year.

The men have none too savory reputa-
tions to help them out of the difficulty,
for both have served many sentences in the
city Jail and have been implicated in trans
actions of a more or less shady nature for
long time. Ray Brown was arrested
with three fellows in Iowa n year or so
ago, who went out to farm house bound
the farmer, his wife, his son and daughter
with ropes and robbed the house. The other
three men, who gave the names of Art
Laws Joe Martinez and George McCarter,
were sent to the penitentiary, the former
getting twenty years and the two latter
fifteen years each Brown could not posi-
though it was thought he made up the other
member of the quartet.
Brown was arrested in this city last win
ter and held for some time upon suspicion
that he had a hand in holding up a man at
the south end of the Sixteenth street via
duct, but he was finally released because
of lack of sufficient proof. He is known
to be an all-round crook
Landy has made his home in South Omaha
for the last ten years or so and has also
figured as a prominent actor in shady
transactions. He and Muckle Dan, a well
known crook, were implicated in holding up
Joe Wishart's saloon one time and he has
been in Jail many times.
The men were found in South Omaha and
the detectives did not tell them what they
were wanted for until they got them into
the station. When Landy was informed
that he was wanted as holdup he wilted,
although he would not confess that he had
been up to that sort of business.

POLICE HAVE DRILL.
Splendid Maneuvers of Peace Guard
ians on Saturday.

The police drill and sham battle in
Manoa, Saturday afternoon was a not
able event. 1t was witnessed by At
torney-General Cooper and a large
number of town people. Captains Holi
Thornton and Kanae had charge of the
foot police and Captain Spillner COM
mAnded the. smountea patrol Senior
Captain Parker was in command of the
combined body.
The first feature was a drill by the
foot police. In this the men went
through all of the movements with the
precision of regulars in army service
The sham battle was between the
mounted police on one side and foot
police on the other. This was a SPLEEN
did exhibition.
The special mounted police drill was
in catching runaway rigs and run-a-
way horses. In this the work was
most excellent. A brake was used in
the former. The horse would be given
cut with the whip and sent off at
full speed over the plains. A patrol
man would ride out from the line,
dash after the runaway. Not a fail
ure was made. The exercise in catch
ing runaway horses was equally
good.
Refreshments came Immediately
after the drill
