suits in Substantial Finnn-
cinI Start.

There was meeting OF the active factors
in the Royal Arcanum at the Board OF Trade
rooms Tuesday evening, to discuss a project
for the erection of a Royal Arcanum hall.
II was quite largely attended and those pres
ent were full of enthusiasm for the project.
A committee had gone out during the after
noon and in a short canvass had secured
pledges of $1,000 and this sum was easily
increased to about $4,000 at the meeting.
The plan OF building contemplated will cost
about $4,000. This order, being one of the
foremost fraternal organizations in its social

lMr. Nash called attention 10 the 1act tnat
at one time when it had been necessary to
raise some money and $500 was lacking
the committee had induced three men to put
1T up, taking notes for the amount The
men were DR.. Mercer Emil Brandeis and
f. "A. Nash. This money was supplied for
the emergency with the understanding that
it should come out of the first funds on
hand and the understanding was that 1t
would be only three or four days. but there
never was after that a time when it could
have been taken out without closing the
gates. When the sale to the chicago
Wrecking company occurred it appears that
il purchased the notes held by Messrs.
Brandeis and Nash. but not the one held
by Mercer.
On motion of Mr. Pritchett every one
having in his possession any contract with
the Chicago Wrecking company or any
other person or corporation was directed TO
bring 1t in at the next meeting, which Will

Cattle Dipping DISCONTINUED.

In connection with the discontinuance by
the government OF the experiments on cat
tie dipping, the West Texas Stockman has
this to say: 1.-THE federal government has
announced that there will be no more of the
cattle dipping foolishness this season, and
as the one stock paper in Texas that stead
lily fought that outrage, the Stockman feels
it's course has been amply vindicated. The
cattle-dip was theory evolved by an em-
bryo horse doctor, who parted his hair in
the middle, ate big stock yards dinners free
of charge and stood in with the push try
ing to mulct stockmen in the sum of %
cents per head on the number OF cattle they
were obliged to handle. 1t was great
scheme and one OF the most damnable upon
the great stock industry ever concocted.'
After spending large sums of money at Fort
Worth, Tex, and other southern points in
experimenting with various cattle dips the
government only recently decided that no
more money would be, wasted in trying to
kill Texas ticks in cattle. While some of
the dips used killed the ticks it also killed
the cattle. Dynamite oil and sulphur were
principally used at Forth Worth for dip
ping cattle infected with ticks, but the
oil seemed to form coating over the pores
which, in hot weather, speedily caused
DEATH Experiments were also carried on by
the government at Little Rock, Ark, and in
but generally with unfavorable re-
suits"

Not FalIon,s Firsf Escapade.

The disappearance Of John Fallon. the @
street saloon keeper, recalls the fact that
Fallon played a similar trick on the same
brewing company several years ago. At the
time of the fight between John L. Sullivan
and James j. Corbett, Fallon was operating
a saloon here for the Krug people. and on
the day of the fight he was given $500 in
cash for the purpose of cashing packing
house pay checks. Fallon was great ad-
mirer of Sullivan and bet every cent of the
brewery's money on the big fellow He lost
and disappeared for time Upon his return
to South Omaha Fallon worked for time,
but finally managed to get into the good
graces of the Krug people again. and they
started him in business for the second time.
No one seems to know where Fallon has
gone and no one apparently is looking for
him.

Surprise Mt Night School Attendance.
Superintendent Wolfe and the members of
the Board Of Education were more than sur
prised at the attendance at night school on
Monday night. While about fifty would be
pupils sent in their names it was not antici
pated that the attendance would be nearly
as large as it was. DR.. Wolfe asserts that
persons from to 40 years in age were in
attendance. He figures that some attended
the first night out of curiosity, but he esti
mated that the regular attendance will be
seventy-ive or eighty For this number of
pupils two teachers will be needed, and
these will most likely be selected in the
next few days. Until regular teachers are
chosen Messrs. Graham and Johnson will
most likely look after the classes.

Ideas of a New Conner.

Omaha as Seen by a New Conner" was
discussed enthusiastically by Rev. Edward
f. Trefz of Kountze Memorial church. He
said that he did not consider Omaha chilly
city and advised anyone wanting to see such
city to go to st. Joseph. He was present as
minister, as he believed 1t the duty OF
minister to go among business men. The
exposition of 1898 had crowned the energy
of the Omaha citizen, but this years exposl-
tion was a more luminous contribution to
omaha's genius, owing to its success In the
face OF opposition. The paper of which he
was editor had given the first exposition
advertising that would have cost $4,000,
but when he gave this years exposition an
editorial one of the largest advertisers In
st. Joseph had within five hours cancelled
$4,000 advertising contract. II was so every
where, Rev Trefz bespoke the great future
of Omaha with greater enthusiasm than any
of it's older citizens.
