RUSHING WORK ON PAVILION
Carpenters and electrician Are Put-
ting In Day and Night
on Structure.

The carpenters and electricians are
working night and day at the musical fes-
tival pavilion to have It completed in time
for the opening concert Thursday evening.
The large sounding board over the stage
is finished. There is considerable difficulty
In securing suitable acoustic properties in
a tent, and while the musical festival COM
mittees have been fortunate in former
seasons there is always more or less doubt
as to how the board will work. The stage
has been made deeper this year than
formerly, as there are more men in the
band.
The women who have secured conces-
sions for their societies are busily engaged
in making preparations for the opening
day. A movement is on foot to carry out
the native Japanese decorations in the
booths. A number of the local florists
have united to contribute cut flowers to
the festival committee and these will be
sold at the committee booth, the proceeds
to be added to the auditorium fund.
The programs for the first ten concerts
have been received and there is not a"rag-
time" concert in the number,

Lake Manawa.

Lake Manana is having the largest daily
attendance Of the season, the afternoon
patronage is now far greater than 1t was
during the earlier part OF the season. Many
private picnic parties were held yesterday
In Shady grove at Manawa park, while the
evening attendance at the lake was I'M
usually large. The Kursaal and Manhattan
beach were well patronized. The upper
floor Of the Kursaal is nightly crowded with
dinner parties from Omaha and South
Omaha, many Of the men going direct
there for one Of Steward Coverings fish
dinners. Among those who took dinner
there last night were Mr.. Henry Sussmann
and family and Commissioner Thomas.
These moonlight nights the lake is alive
with pleasure craft.

JOLIET CLAIMS SHEvELIN
Omaha Police Inclined to Hold Him
for Penitentiary service
in Nebraska.

Chief OF Police Donahue yesterday re-
ceived a telegram from Warden e. ]. MUIR
ply of the Joliet penitentiary, requesting
him to hold Mike shevelin. alias Martin
Simms, with the announcement that Sheve-
lin is wanted there for defaulting his pa
role. Shevelin is the man who shot Ave
times at Patrol Driver Wilson in an at
tempt to escape from the officers last Sat-
urday. He was sent to the Joliet p~eniten-
tiary In 1898 on a charge Of larceny. From
Chief o'Neill Of Chicago Chief Donahue re-
ceived a telegram that Shevelin has served
four months In Jail there for committing an
assault with intent to kill. 1t is likely
that the Omaha police will not turn Sheve-
lin over to the Joliet authorities, as they
believe they will be able to send him to the
p~enitentlary from here.

Adding capital and surplus together. We have a gross
amount Of $22 s45 Os5 banking capital in the State Of Nebraska.
and the banks carry a line Of deposits amounting to F72'1s4'-
$1,000. Out of these amounts are loaned $50, 1884, 140o to GUS
toners, and a the legal rate is Z per cent and the going country
rate 10 per cent. the receipts of the banks from interest account
alone should aggregate $~5.OOOOOo.oo.
The laws of Nebraska provide with other things for the
regulation of banks. the following:
such capital shall be in money. commercial paper, bank
furniture. and the bank building and ground on which situated.
which ground shall be unincumbered. but in no case shall the
bank building and ground. together with furniture and fixtures,
exceed in value one third of the paid-up capital. . .
Every stockholder is liable for debts accruing during his owner
ship Of stock. for an amount equal to the paid-up value OF the
shares held. and all shares of stock are assessed in the place
where the bank is located. whether the owners thereof reside
there or not, and taxes are q lien upon the stock. Every bank
shall keep a'cOrrect list of names and residences of all stock
holders, with the amount held by each. for the inspection of
stockholders creditors. and taxing Oncers."
The capital stock of the State banks amounted to 17sssyOSl.
which with their surplus of El.saO.2s2 gave an aggregate of So
2s. 1928, of which but one third could be invested in real estate
and fixtures.
Assuming that everyone of the 51 State banks used up the
legal amount allowed for building. ground and fixtures. it would
stl leave them ss145.54s IOanable funds. and county after
county fails to account for any at all.

to be considered. 5. T.
Thus it appears that there are s4s ss7s of bank credits in
the State of Nebraska
Regarding the stocks and bonds which have been returned for
taxation. there is no way of determining what is meant by the
returns. The banks of Omaha alone report to bank authorities
that they hold the sum of ,s.O5O.4OO in bonds and stocks, but in
this matter in case these bonds II government bonds or have
been issued by companies owning property in the State OF Ne
braska. which is already taxed. It would not be proper to tar
them again. However. 1t would appear that If there we're any
stocks and bonds in the state. they certainly should amount to
much more than ss6.s7s.
The foregoing figures show great prosperity ana material
wealth and it is confusing to note the amounts returned for
taxation in the State Auditors report
The Auditors report for 1900 gave the following figures as
the amount reported for taxation By the banking interests Of the
whole state;
Moneys Of bankers and brokers ...-..... seTT.sSo
Credits Of bankers and brokers .......... sS7yNs
Bonds. stocks and warrants ...-.......... S6s7s
While this il a remarkable showing. the IOcAliEation Of these
credits Is amusing. otOe county reports sss.s74 moneys Of
bankers and brokers, while Douglas county returns but seas.
and Lancaster county but ,1ss4a. 1t would thus appear that Ne

LEGISLATIVE SESSION
Governor 0rman. Today Transmitted His Mes
sage Recommending the Rs-snactmsnt
Of the Revenue Bill.
THF FIGHT AGAINST SPEAKER
MONTGOMERY is ABANDONED

Denver, Colo, Jan. 2S.--Governor
Orman transmitted his message to the
legislature today. He recommends the
enactment of the revenue bill which
the corporations attacked in the courts,
with additional provision for the as
producing or non-producing. The gov
ernor suggests additional protection
for miners; advises the passage o. q
measure that will insure the Louisiana
Purchase committee appropriation;
devotes paragraph to the encroach-
ment of the railroads of the country
upon the rights Of the people and the
danger to the common wealth if the
evil is not curbed by prudent legisla-
tive action.
The governor comedies the rights of
capital, acknowledges the propriety of
protecting vested rights, and the wis
dom of encouraging enterprises which
are largely fostered by railroads, but
remembers that it is from state re-
sources that railroads and other inter-
ests gather their great wealth and
power, and people should therefore
have some voice in the way wealth
and power is acquired.

selves in caucus to support him. The

London, Jan. 2S.-The government
leader, A. ]. Balfour, announced in the
house of commons today that no over
lures for peace had been received from
any one authorized to speak in behalf
of the Beers. A communication was,
however, received on Saturday last
from the Dutch government, which was
now under consideration.
BRITAIN IS WILLING.
London, Jan. 2S.-In it's communica-
ton to the British government, the
Dutch government suggests that 1t
might be permitted to act as a sort of
diplomatic agent for the Boer dele
gates. The government expressly disa-
does not mention any terms.
The British government infers that
1t would not have been approached un-
less the Dutch authorities were con-
vinced that the Boer delegates now in
Europe are willing to accept the car
dinal points Of the British peace terms
so frequently announced in parliament.
Lord Lansdowne, foreign secretary, re-
piled in friendly terms to the proposal,
but instituted inquiries in order to as
certain the extent of the powers dele
gated to Kruger and other Boer repre-
in Europe to act in behalf
of the burghers in the field. If satisfac-
tory guarantees in this respect can
be secured, negotiations will be begun.

PROSECUTED FOR FRAUD.
Timber Land Taken Up In Lincoln County Under the

Assistant United States Attorney
w. C. Reid of Las Vegas, was at Capt.

whose names he refused to divulge, for
taking up placer claims fraudulently in
the Gallina mountains in that county.
Before the new railroad began building
through that section the most valuable
timber land along the line was taken
up as placer claims for the purpose of
selling the timber for ties to the rail-
road company. The company refused
to be held UP in any such manner and
so reported the fraudulent purposes of
the claimants to the United States au-
thorities, who at once began an inves-
tigation. C. e. Harrison was given a

SNOW IN NORTHERN

Ample Water Supply in the Rio Grands Valley
Seems to Be Assured for the Spring
and the Early Summer Months.
SOME SUFFERING AMONG LIVESTOCK
IN THE WESTERN COUNTIES

Trainmen on the Denver and Rio
Grande road report that it has been
showing almost continuously along the
line in northern New Mexico and
southern Colorado for five days past.
The storm has covered large area
Grande, and it looks now as if there
would be an abundant supply Of wa
ter for irrigation in the lower valley
this spring and summer. Much wind
accompanied the snowfall. This has
had the effect of driving the precious
white flakes into the mountain gorges
and canons and packing 1t there hard
and fast-nature's method of estab-
fishing reservoirs in the mountains for
the benefit of the people who live in
tain and plain. In the railroad cuts
south of Alamosa the snow was three
feet deep on Saturday night and the
trainmen operated snow plows all Of
Sunday. Between Alamosa and Du-
range the line was blockaded Saturday
night, two heavy freight trains being
showed in on Cumbres mountain.
Heavy snow storms have also pre-
vailed practically without abatement in
the Santa Fe range since Friday last,
covering the whole range from the
Colorado line to the Galisteo plains.
In the Taos mountains the precipita-
ton set in six weeks ago and has been
abundant. This range also contribut-
es largely to the spring and summer
flow of the Rio Grande and it's upper
eastern tributaries.
Reports from the entire western line
of New Mexico state that heavy SHOWS
have fallen throughout western Berna-
lilo, Rio Arriba, Socorro and Valencia
counties, and unusual cold weather has
prevailed there, as throughout the
southern part of the territory. Indeed,
strange to relate, it has recently been
10 to Is degrees colder in Otero and
Chaves counties 300 miles to the south,
than it has been at Santa Fe. Six in
ches of snow in Roswell county has
proved of great benefit to the stock
range, insuring an early start Of spring
