CHECKS SUPPOSED TO BE BAD
They Are Found in Pockets of suspic-
iOus Characters Arrested
by Detectives.

Charles o'Connor and William Thornton,
many years ago well known in Omaha
police circles, are in the city Jail, booked as
suspicious characters. TIT men were ar
vested by Detectives Savage, Donohoe and
Heitfeld near the Webster street depot,
about one block apart, and are supposed TO
have been looking for a victim. In Thorn
tons pocket the officers found a check for
S1,A00 to which the name Of Ezra B. Sam
uels & Son was signed, drawn on the Second
National bank Of st. Paul. O'Connor had a
check for $500 on the First National bank
OF York, Neb,, to which the name Of Paul
4. Spencer was signed. The checks are
believed to be forgeries and the officers
are holding the men while they investigate.

CONCESSIONS AT CONVENTION
Christian Church Executive Commit
tee Ready to Dispose of
Coliseum Privileges.

At a meeting Of the executive committee
OF the Christian church convention COM
mittee at Council Bluffs Thursday 1t was
decided to close with several persons for
concessions at the Coliseum. There will
be maintained at the building a restaurant,
barber shop, bootblack stand, news depot
and place for the sale OF souvenirs of the
occasion. These places will be controlled
by persons who are LICENSED by the local
committee and a percentage of the sales
will 20 to the convention funds or the con-
cessions will be sold outright.
It was decided by the committee to hold
but one more union meeting Of the gen.
eral church committee. This meeting will
be held on some Sunday between now and
the opening OF the convention and will be
devoted to prayer for the success of the
convention and thanksgiving for the work
already done. The executive committee
will hold sessions as usual.
The chairman Of the entertainment COM
mittee reports that she has been we'll re-
ceived by the people of the city with whom
she has conferred regarding the entertain
ment Of delegates to the convention. Many
of those having large houses have placed
their extra rooms at the service Of the
delegates and have refused to receive COM
pensation for their use. others have fixed
prices which were wholly inadequate for
the service, SO that 1t is expected that
there will be no trouble in providing
houses for the visitors.
The committee is now in, doubt as to the
future Of the Omaha Christian, a weekly
publication started as the official organ
of the convention. There have been some

CLOSES LARGE COAL DEAL
Burlington Secures Mineral Rights to
Thousands Of Acres Of Land.
ANTICIPATES COMBINE OF MINE OWNERS
Object of Company il TO He I'm Posi-
ton to supply Its own Needs
Independent of Any Fu-
ture Trust.

The Chicago, Burlington & Quincy rail-
road closed a deal Wednesday for the pur-
chase Of the minerals rights Of 1000 acres
of land, situated south of Springfield, ILL.,,
between the Chicago & Alton and the I'LL
nois Central roads. The deal was en-
gineered by A. G. Simpson of Chicago and
New York and is said to have involved ne
gotiations with more than 200 land owners.
The aggregate price paid for the rights is
over 81, 900, 900.
Not only for the amount Of money in
volved. but for other considerations is the
transaction regarded with special signih-
canoe. The report is that the deal was
prompted by the conviction on the part Of
the Burlington management that before a
great time all the bituminous coal within
convenient hauling distance would be alb
sorbed by a gigantic trust. The Burling-
ton has therefore taken time by the forelock
in thus securing possession OF bituminous
fields. in order that 1t may be absolutely
Independent Of the trust, when its appre-
hension may have been realized. II was
regarded as even more profitable by the ex-
perts to whom the Burlington management
submitted its proposition to buy new and
untapped mineral lands than invest in old
mines already in operation. Hence the
purchase Of these options rather than the
buying up of the same amount Of active
mining property.
To Make First Payment.
Attorney Baldwin Of the Burlington,
whose offices are at Burlington, Ia,
has gone to Springfield to pay over
the money for the rights. He is said to
have taken with him 500, 900 in currency
and the remainder in drafts. 1t is in
tended to make the last payment by oc-
tober /.
II is said to be the purpose of the Bur
lington TO get TO work digging for coal
as soon as practicable. II is not under
stood that there is any immediate neces-
sity for active operations. but when the
time comes the Burlington management
promises its friends (the enemy that 1t
will be on the ground doing business. The

Clark Confirms Bee story.
The Bees story published several weeks
ago that a general demand for an increase
in pay would be made this fall by con-
ductors and other trainmen throughout the
United States has been officially con-
frmed by z. e. Clark OF Cedar Rapids, Ia,
national head Of the Order OF Railway
Conductors. Mr.. Clark says, as was stated
in The Bee, that a strike is not contem-
plated as an element Of this universal de-
mand-only as a last resort. Failing to
convince any Of the roads in the country
of the justice Of their demand, then the
trainmen may resort to a strike as a means
Of enforcing their appeal. But the neces-
sity Of this extreme is not anticipated.

THE Lotion INDusTRY.

A census bulletin, recently published
shows that the production of liquors
stands fifth among the Industries Of
the United states as regards the
amount Of Capital invested, and
seventh as regards the value of the
product. The total dmount invested in
the 1850 establishments which reported
is given at $457 ,674,OS7 and the value of
the product is stated to be $3lO, SIS, 461
This is an immense return upon the
capital invested, With such large in
terests one can understand the power
welded by this industry, It is not the
saloon which the temperance people
should attack, it is the large manu-
facturers that the'was should be waged
against The roo. Of the liquor industry
lies in the $457,974OS7 invested in the
manufacture and the enormous return
which come in from that investment

SINFMERING.

The returned delegate who has come
with empty hands, has commenced the
fight for the campaign in his usual
style. He is vituperative, he is incor-
rect in many of his statements, and
others are palpably false. All the same
these utterances are swallowed by his
constituents and he has started out to
win upon these issues. With a consu-
tuency such as that of most of the
states and territories these kind of talk
would not go down; and upon such is
sues the delegate would come to COM
plete wreck. But he understands his
own people, keeps them filed with
false or perpetual information, deals
in large and lavish promises, and de-
Iudes his followers to the utmost of his
bent.
But Delegate Wilcox cannot delude
all his countrymen, by any means.
That he is a force to be reckoned with
is true, but he is by no means an in
vincibe force. He can be beaten and
in the opinion of the large majority of
Republicans he will be beaten. His
victory at the last election was by no
means a walk over. Had there been a
stronger effort made by the Repub-
licans in several voting precincts, the
Republican candidate would have been
brought in.
The total number of votes cast for
delegate for the uneXpired term of the
fifty-siXth Congress was $3.50, of which
4,OS3 were secured by Wilcox, and 1856
fell to Parker, while Kawananakoa re-
ceived 1850 This gave Wilcox only 227
majority over the Republican. For the
57th Congress the figures were Wilcox
4,1OS, Parker 3,S45, and Kawananakoa
1856, total of 5000 votes, and a ma
jority for Wilcox over Parker, the Re-
publican candidate, of 1853. 1t is GER
tainIy no impossible task to overcome
this majority,
We all know that there is no longer
unanlmity in the Home Rule ranks,
Wilcox alludes to it himself. Wilcox
has not performed his promises and
many of his former followers distrust
him. His own Incorporate utterances,
while they suit certain section, at
the same time disgust others. The
younger generation of Home Rulers
are not disposed to be led by the nose
by Wilcox, they think for themselves, |
they are widely read and they have |
many of them been abroad ana widen |

The saloon keeper is the small dis
tributor Of this industry. To the main
manufacturer it is matter OF indif-
ference whether a saloon is closed up
here or another is closed up there. 1t
is moreover a matter of Indifference
whether the liquor sold pays license
or does not If a saloon or a set of
saloons is closed up in one place, it only
means that they open out somewhere
else, or that an Illicit trade in liquor is
carried on. The saloon keeper may be
injured but the main industry goes
calmly on. If a war is to be carried on
successfully 1t will have to strike at
the root and not at the branches and
small twigs. This has little or no eff
feet upon the main industry.
The output of malt liquors in the
United States is 119S,602, 1O4 gallons
yearly, of distilled liquors it is 100, $780,,
42S gallons, and of wine 23,425, 567 gall
Ions This gives a total estimated con-
sumption of 1922, 35SO9 gallons, which,
according to the census bulletin means
a per capita consumption of IFS gallons
Deduct the number of women and chill
dren who do not consume liquor, and
the number of total abstainers who
never take liquor and the per capita
consumption becomes still larger among
those who consume liquor.
1t is when contemplating figures such
as these that the task of the temper
ance societies, and other similar bodies
must be measured. Their true fight is
not against the saloon as much as it
is against the industry which stands
fifth i'm value among the industries of
the United States. Airs. Carrie Ma
tion with her hatchet got lot of cheap
notoriety but she had no effect upon
the general issue, and many efforts Of
similar character, though carried on in
a more seemly manner, have as little
general effect. The general and not the
small local effort will have the effect
desired by those societies.

KING EDWARD.

The news that King Edward VII is
improving will relieve a great many

people of many nationalities There
seems now to be a good chance of his
recovery, though undoubtedly the
greatest care will have to be exercised.

The life of King Edward means a
great deal in the worlds history just
now. He is mentally vigorous, and if
he revives his strength physically he
may live for a considerable time. The
affairs of the British Empire are in a
critical stage, and it is well known
that King Edwards experience and his
natural and cultivated good qualities
make him a most important factor in
dealing with such a crisis.
The affairs of the empire are inter-
twined with the affairs of the world,

be both able and diplomatic He does
not depend upon others for his know

mercial development, and an advance
in science, art, literature and general
civilization which the leisure of peace
will give. Much hinges upon King Ed
wards life. May he be spared to be

similar cGliber to those set up at last
election, they will have nothing to do

manship of the Home Rulers is very

likely that the Home Rulers will poll
large Democratic vote in support Of

opium, seeing that there is no prohibi-

then passed on down here But this
does not seem very plausible.
