CALIFORNIA BANK CASHIER
DECAMPS WITH 100000

Trusted oficial of Farmers s. Merchants
Bank at Los Angeles Steals Big Sum.
III. j. Fleistman, cashier of the
Farmers and Merchants bank of Los
Angeles, has disappeared with a sum
of the banks money, which Vice. Presi-
dent Ii. w. Hellman estimates at $780,
BOO. The shortage was discovered
Monday. Fleishman has not been seen
since o'clock Saturday morning. At
that hour he was at his club. He noti-
fled the bank people that he was i'll
Saturday morning and would not be at
his duty, Nothing was thought of the
matter at the time. When Fleishman
failed to report Monday his accounts
were gone over and the shortage dis
covered. The exact amount has not
yet been ascertained.
Fleishman had been cashier and as
sistant cashier of the Farmers and
Merchants bank for many years. He
began work for the bank when boy
in 1878. lie was under bond with a
surety company for $4,000. In addi-
tion to this he had real estate and per-
sonal property in that city sufficient,
in the opinion of Mr.. Hellman, to pro-
tect the bank from the loss of dollar.

McLaurin Denounc's Democratic Lee ders
/ and Is Challenged to Resign.
| The senate chamber was the scene of
highly dramatic episode Monday
when Senator T'illmap of South Caro-
Ina challenged his colleague, Senator
| McLauriu, to resign with him on the
| spot, in order, To use his own language,
that they might be able to wash their
dirty linen at home Mr.. McLaurin
did not take up the gauge.
The Incident was the direct sequel Of
the very bitter controversy which arose
between the senators in South Caro-
lima last spring. Mr.. McLaurin arose
to a question of personal privilege and
proceeded to explain what he charged
was a conspiracy to discredit him in
mis- own state for acts and views which
did not meet the approval of certain
Democratic leaders. He declared that
he was being humiliated, and, accord
ing to public prints, was to be exclud-
ed from the Democratic caucus because
he had acted upon certain public issues
| in way which he considered was to
the best interests of the country and
the people of his state.
Senator Hoar questioned, in view Of
the fact that both senators had ten
dered their resignation, whether either
had the right to address the senate,
and the matter was referred to the
committee on election and privileges
to determine their status 1t is possi-
BILE both seats will be declared vacant.

South Omaha News


On the evening of April S grand ball
will be given at the Live Stock exchange
by the committee in charge OF the Labor
temple fund. The proceeds of this enter
taiDment will be used toward the pur-
chase Of a lot for the erection of Labor
temple in South Omaha. For more than
a month past the building committee repre-
senting the various labor unions has been
busily engaged in arranging for this bali
and disposng of tickets. A thorough can
yass has been made. both of Omaha and
South Omaha, and the announcement was
made yesterday that the sale of tickets has
thus far been quite satisfactory. More
than the usual amount of interest is being
manifested in the proposition to erect a
Labor temple here and the assertion is made
that before long quite a sum will be raised,
Several plans for raising money are under
contemplation and the leaders in the move
ment hope to have the site purchased be-
fore many months.
Plans for a building to cost 100000 have
been completed and photographs OF the
structure are being distributed among
business men. 1t may be deemed advisable
to make some alterations in the present
plans in order to reduce the cost Of the
building but 1t is thought now that the
entire sum can be raised. good sized
auditorium Is one OF the features Of the
structure as now planned. with suitable
lodge rooms for all OF the labor oIsaniza-
tions in the city.
The original intention was to give the
ball next Friday evening, but the date was
changed on account OF conflicting engage
ments.

and settled tonight also. Pehaps there Will
be some discussion of the proposed High
school project. The plans for this building
have already been accepted and the next
thing to decide upon is whether bonds shall
be asked for to erect the entire building

use OF the High school It Is asserted by
members of the board that the temporary
needs OF the schools can be satisfied. 1t Ia
