Ing itself the Chicago State Pawners'
society began business. AS one of the
large Clark street pawnbrokers is con-
nected with this institution and a name
mas been chosen so like our own as to
cause great confusion, the directors have
believed that it was not started in the
spirit Intended by the law Under these
circumstances a suit in equity has been
begun to restrain them from using their
present name
AS S017S people have made loans of
the society since its organization and the
average loan is only $3.50, the directors
feel that 1t is reaching a large number
OF needy people. About 20 per cent of
this number, or 1885, have been women.
Out of about $4,000 loaned, which could
be subject to sale by auction since our
opening, only $4.466 of loan value or
about per cent, has been so sold. From
this It is evident that our rates of inter-
est are so reasonable that the loans can
pe easily repaid. In fact, representatives
OF charitable societies have stated that
since our society has gotten under way
there has been marked decrease in
The Saint Paul globe. (St. Paul, Minn.) 1896-1905, 1902-02-23

appraisements have been secured that
the directors feel sure that all probable
losses from such sales have been more
than provided for in the above state
ment.' The year has proved even bet
ter than was then anticipated, and the
uncertainty of results from auction sales
has been removed.
Two sales have been held, one in May,
when the gross proceeds were IS, 214 95;
the loss to the society from twenty
pledges, $11.63, and the surplus from 1917
pledges, $l,075.66; the other on Oct. Is.
when the gross proceeds were 5,457. 50.
the loss from forty-one pledges, s44. Is
and the surplus from 255 pledges, 81, 697. 2l.
These SURPRISES must be held for two
years by the society subject to the call Of
the tcket-holders. What is not called for
within that time becomes the property
of the society.
From present experience 1t is believed
that less than so per cent of these
amounts will be called for, so that auc-
ton sales, instead of producing a loss,

These are SO similar to that by which

The trio of gilded spheres that usu-

HARTE FIRES AT THIEVES
Shot Sends Marauders Over Back
Fence in Record Break
ing Time.

County Commissioner Harte aroused the
neighborhood of his home, 2715 South Nine
teenth, at 80 Wednesday night, when he
fired heavy charge of No. shot at the
place where he expected thieves to be.
He didn't wound either of the two men, but
he sent them over his back fence and into
a muddy alley faster than anybody ever did
the trick before.
While painters were at work In his
kitchen Mr.. Harte has been leaving a large
trunk containing decoy ducks, waders and
other hunting equipment on his back porch,
and 1t was this that tempted the thieves.
They were trying to get 1t off the porch
when they aroused Mrs. Harte, who awak
ened her husband. He peeked through the
glass in the kitchen door and they noticed
him and ran behind a woodshed few feet
in the rear of the house. He went upstairs
to window, where he could see without
being seen. One OF the visitors presently
began peering around the corner at in
tervals. and the commissioner fired when
he thought the mans head about due to
appear in range The head never did ap-
pear after that but the man behind the
gun got fleeting glimpse of four heels go
ing over the fence and out.

SIDEWALK INSPECTORS BUSY
Board of Public Works EndeavOrinE
TO Secure Repairs to De-
fective walks.

The Board Of Public Works has declared
war on defective sidewalks and two men are
now at work inspecting all board walks
in the city. Inspector Morris, whose usual
duty is the inspection of permanent walks
In course Of construction, has been de-
tailed to assist the regular inspector of
temporary walks. He began work on South
Thirty-fourth street and has mapped out
course which will take him to the north
ern part Of the city next week.
The inspectors report a large number of
walks in the southwestern part of the city
in dangerous condition, as few repairs
have been made for year or more, and
many complaints Of poor sidewalks have
been received from the Sixth ward, which
probably contains more miles Of temporary
sidewalks than any other ward in the city
Another complaint is brought against
property owners whose land is above grade
and the banks come flush with the side
walk line. There has been an ordinance
on the books for many years which makes
it the duty Of owners of such property to
slope the bank from the sidewalk at such
an angle that the earth will not fall on the
walks.
That there is such an ordinance is known
to the officers" said a city employe, "but
no one remembers when 1t was enforced.
There are places in Omaha, in the center
of the city, where unprotected banks of
clay tower high above the sidewalks and
whenever there is a rain the walks are
covered with mud from these overhanging
banks, while from time to time landslides
take place which cover the walks with
clay to depth Of several feet. One notable
case is that on Harvey street west of
Twentieth, where 1t has been impossible to
walk on the sidewalks at times on account
of the accumulation Of mud"

artillery now at Robinson will return to its
permanent station at Fort Riley at the same

With the arrival of the troops from Cuba
there will be three complete regimental or
ganizations in the Department Of the Mis-
souri,, a larger number than has been in the
department since the beginning of the Span
ish war. The regiments are the Fourth and
Eighth cavalry and the Twenty second in
fantry. Besides these organizations there
are six companies of field artillery at Forts
Riley and Leavenworth and three companies
of the engineer corps at Fort Leavenworth.

TURN DOWN MCORD'S PLAN
Auditorium Directors Resolve to Make No
Radical Change,
ABANDON TEMPORARY BUILDING PROJECT
Special Election on Proposition to In
crease Capital stock to Five
Hundred Thousand Dol
lars in Progress.

At the meeting Of the board Of directors
of the Omaha Auditorium company yester-
day afternoon the building and grounds COM
mttee reported upon the result of a meet
ing held Monday evening with w. II. Nc
Cord, at which Mr. McCord desired the
committee to report upon a plan of build
ing at variance with the plans now pre-
pared. Mr.. McCord desired to have a one
story structure and fitted more especially
for horse shows and fine stock exhibitions
The result of the report was the adoption
of resolution, offered by J. r. Lehmer. to
the effect that the present plans having
been carefully considered and approved not
only by the members of the board of direc-
tors, but also by the advisory committee,
would not be radically changed.
1t was decided not to erect a temporary
building for the accommodation of the fall
Musical festival and the Christian church
convention, as such a building would cost,
equipped, about $4,000.
Members show Disgust.
The question of subscriptions was dis
cussed at length, the discussion being
opened by the report of failure to secure
a subscription from a business man who
had been counted on to give $4,000, and
who had absolutely refused to contribute
any amount. The failure of the committee
to secure this subscription caused express
sions of disgust from members
The polls for the election to decide the
question of changing the articles Of asso-
citation and increasing the capital stock of
the company from 5000, 900 to 100000 were
opened at noon. The changes proposed con-
template the issue of 100000 of common
stock in shares Of 25 cents each, each pur-
chaser Of a share Of the common stock to
