enue receipts would flow to the various
sub treasures. and would thereby be
Withdrawn from circulation at the rate
of about million dollars for each
working day.
The treasury department, after con-
sultation With the president, decided to
issue All order permitting banks to de-
post bonds and receive money. which
they could use in ordinary transactions
until the government called for. These
deposits do not bear interest, but the
money would not bear interest if de-
posted in the treasury. and the depos-
its already out amounting, as i said, to
over ssc.0oO,ooo, do not bear interest
either
The government neither gains nor
loses by the transaction, hut a certain
amount of money is added to that in
circulation which otherwise would have
to remain idle in the government
vaults because our cash balance is now
much larger than is necessary and
there is q constant excess of receipts
over expenditures.
The treasury, in fact. is so prosper
Gus that unless this money We're al
flowed to stay in the banks the amount

He was accompanied by H. Abe, the Jap
anese juggler. On their way back down town
they met Darlington, and Nawa asked him
for the money. Darlington requested to see
the check and Nawa handed it to him. He
tore it up and put the pieces in his mouth
and began to chew them. Then he struck
Nawa in the face and offered to call the
account square. he spat out the remnants
of the check and left Nawa to pick up all
that he had to show for the transaction.
Darlington has been associated in the
work being done under the name Red Cross
league" having an office in the New York
Life building.
The Red Cross league issued printed no
tices from the head office in Chicago under
date of April Z stating that John c. Car
rinEtOn was no longer connected with the
organization. This notice is said TO have
been the result of a visit of the secretary
of the league who discovered that Caring
ton had been discharged after a few weeks
work in Milwaukee. He was also informed
by Mr.. Karling, the local manager. that
Darlington had been guilty of a number of
indlscretions here. Mr.. KarIing himself
holds about 500 worth of checks which Car
rington gave 10 him TO cover shortages in
league collections and on personal account.
Darlington enlisted last summer in Troop
G, Second volunteer cavalry, at Fort Rus
sell, Wyo. He accompanied the regiment to
Jacksonville, Fla, where he was DISCHARGED.
as he claims, for disability. He returned to
Omaha and represented the league from the
first of the year until removed. He was mar
ried last Saturday night.

Minor Matters in Court.

Winnie Albert has applied for a divorce
from Hans Albert, the well known v~iolinist,
on the ground of habitual drunkenness. Mr..
and Mrs. Albert were married in Council
Bluffs in 1895.
w. X. Potter, as receiver of the Nebraska
Savings and Exchange bank, has sued W.
NJ. Long and W. II. Gates for $500, alleged
10 he due on a note which was given TO the
balik several years ago.
John Maus has begun an action in district
court 10 prevent his son, Fred Maus, from
including in his assets, now in controversy
in bankruptcy proceedings, five acres of land
in Hammond's addition. The older Maus
asserts that he gave this land to his son on
the agreement that the latter would support
him during the remainder of his life. He
now contends that If the property is turned
over TO the creditors he Will be left without
means of subsistence and that this would
infringe on the contract under which he
transferred it to his son.
Judge Fawcett returned from his eastern
trip and resumed the hearing OF the Rieck
divorce case. The Cross-eXamination of
Rieck occupied the forenoon, but his
evidence added very little new matter to the
record. The plaintiffs attorney spent some
time in an effort TO induce the witness 10
admit that he had once threatened TO kill his
wife before they left Germany, but this he
strenuously denied. He was also questioned
closel! to show that Mrs. Rieck had helped
in the hay field and in the dairy in addition
TO her domestic emplOymenls, and this was
admitted by the witness.

OFFICER HAS A HOT CHASE
Policeman shHVIek Runs n Fugitive
Into a Crowd of Men, by Whom
He il Captured.

A fugitive with q blue clad minion OF the
law behind him, both running at full speed
attracted the attention OF residents on North
Seventeenth street yesterday morning. II
was Officer ShaYlek chasing George Craig
whom he wanted TO answer to the charge OF
criminal assault on a little girl. Craig was
captured at Nineteenth and Douglas streets
where he made a desperate effort to escape
from the citizens who surrounded and de-
tanned him until the officer came up.
Officer Shaylek knew there was a warrant
out for the arrest of Craig, so when he saw
him near the alley on Sixteenth street be-
tween Cass and Chicago streets, he accosted
him. Craig said his name was Murphy, but
Shavlek responded that he guessed not.
whereupon Craig made some excuse TO enter
the alley, down which ne shot at full speed
Seventeenth street. where he cut across lots
TO Chicago. shavlek, in hot pursuit, fired d
couple Of shots into the ground, but Craig
paid no attention TO the shooting, Craig
gained on his pursuer by running through
yards and would have escaped had not two
boys and several citizens assisted the officer
IN keeping on the track. At Nineteenth and
Douglas Craig was surrounded by a crowd
OF people, whom he attempted 10 pass, bun
without success, He struck several people,
but numbers counted, and he was held until

PLATTE VALLEYS PROGRESS
Much Talk About RntIrond Construc-
on-Farmers Turning Attention
10 Cattle Raising and Dnirying.

l. A. Fort of North Platte is a visitor at
Union Pacific headquarters. He says all the
civil engineers in his section of the state
have been employed by the Union Pacific
and set TO work to run lines for the pro-
posed road up the Platte valley. He saws
there is more railroad excitement at North
Platte and in the western portion of the
state than has existed in years past. II is
generally believed by people out there that
the Union Pacific will build a branch from
North Platte northwest through the valley
Of that river and into Wyoming, although
they do not know when the work will bs
commenced.
Mr.. Fort says the Nebraska farmers are
gradually turning their attention to cattle
raising. They secure from $40 to 1000
acres OF land, either by purchase or lease,
and put on from fifty to 200 head of cattle.
The cost OF engaging in this business he
estimates TO be from 80 to so per cent less
imam 1t was a number of years ago. He
cites the one item of barb wire. which a
few years ago cost IA cents per pound and
can now he had for 312 cents. Other things
he says are in proportion, which furnishes
one OF the reasons why so many more OF
the farmers are embarking in thai business.
As another result OF reduced cost and i'm
proved machinery, Mr.. Fort says some of
lhe farmers are engaging in the dairy bust
ness on d small scale. II is now possible
TO secure a small separator. churn anu
engine, enabling a farmer with a few good
cows to have his own creamery. He men,
toned the case Of one man in Lincoln county
who had made Il success during the last
year in this business, Instead of carrying
his cream to market he now makes first
class creamery butter and has the benefit
of the refuse materials from the milk for
the use of his own Stock.
