Our business men have reached
the conclusion that a home bank
has become necessary in our town.
Wednesday morning. Mr.. w. J..
Cordlll started out a list to he
subscribed by intending stockhold-
ers and he was successful beyond
his anticipetions. Nearly every
business man in town has taken
or will in due time, take stock and
many of our country friends are
anxious for the move. The gen.
tlemen have been promised that
if we eau raise $4,000 like
amount will be furnished by men
of capital elsewhere. The out
come is bright for the success of
the enterprise. 1t will be neces-
sary for the town TO be incorpor-
ated before the bank can open its
doors, but, as the Legislature
meetsfin May, this can be done in
ample time for fall business.
This is the dawn of q permanent
era of-prosperity to our little city.

HAS UNSAV0RY RECORD HERE
Police Furnish Information About
Man Under Arrest ut Ver-
million, south Dakota.

H. p. Gilmore. alias z. 8. Porter, is In
Jail at vermilion. s. D., and the authori-
ties Of that place have written to Chief
of Police Donahue to get information
about the mans career in this city. In
the South Dakota town Gilmore is charged
with obtaining money under false pre-
lenses from a widow OF that place.
In 1892 Gilmore, while in Omaha, forged
the name of a paymaster in the army,
from which he had then Just been dis
charged. While the police were looking
for him for this he broke into a jewelry
store and stole a considerable amount
Of diamonds. He pleaded guilty to this
and was sent TO the penitentiary for five
years. After his release he was again
sent to the penitentiary from Kansas.
Last June Gilmore was in Omaha and
stopped at the Aetna hotel. To the owner
Of this place he made a proposition to sell
a large hotel he had in Guthrie, Okl., and
advised her to sell her property here and
take the money with her to Guthrie and
examine his property. He agreed to pay
her expenses. This she refused to do. A
the same time Gilmore was endeavorinl
TO sell a hotel he professed to own IL
Lawrence, Kan, to a woman who resided
IN Logan, Ia. This woman came to omahi
to see him.. A letter was received at tn,
Aetna addressed to e. S. Porter severa
days ago, forwarded from Centreville. S

OYSTERS AND CELERY COME
First BivaIves Will appear on Omaha
Market Last OF h
Week.

The oyster season will open Thursday, Au-
gust %, the FIRST Of the bivalves TO be
shipped from the Omaha jobbers to the re-
tail trade on that day. The prices this year,
In a Wholesale way, show no variation from
the opening prices last year. the quotations
being: Standards, 80 cents a can; extra
selects, 81 cents a can, and New York
counts, IS cents a can. Jobbers report a
bright prospect for the oyster season this
year. The FIRST to the market come from
Connecticut and Rhode Island waters, and
by September is the Baltimore oysters will
arrive and the season will be at it's height.
Oyster dealers are looking with interest
to the work OF a joint committee OF the
legislatures Of Maryland and Virginia, which
is Investigating the cultivation and harvest
ing Of oysters n Chesapeake bay. Accord
ing to present laws oysters cannot legally
be taken from the Maryland beds before Sep
TENDER is, while the open season In Virginia
begins September 1, but the law is not
strictly enforced, so that 1t is easy to get
Virginia oysters at almost any season. The
legislatures Of these states decided to unity
their laws so that Chesapeake bay would be
closed to the oyster dredgers uniformly.
The commission has been making investi-
cations for some time, and It is said that
IL VIII report TO both legislatures In FAVOR OF
keeping the bay closed until October 1.
Along with the oysters comes celery. and
there is an increasing consumption of Ne
braska grown celery in the local market.
David Cole was at the fields near Kearney
last week, and says that the crop there
will be the largest ever harvested. There
has been considerable rain," said he, land
consequently the crop on the low ground
a. A-. nNA.a -. N~aAnAIa
200 acres in cultivation this year, and the
price paid the growers will be from Is to
20 cents a dozen punches in the field. In
California they receive from 10 to Is cents
a dozen punches, so the Nebraska raiser has
a considerable advantage over the Califor-
nian. There is much of the Nebraska CROP
sold which in California would not be
handled except for local and immediate con-
sumption"

MONEY GROWS ON TALL WEEDS
Section Men Near DunninE Think So
Until They Hear Other
wise.

Albert o. Swift, postofhce inspector. has
returned from Dunning, where he investi-
gated the loss Of a mail sack on the Bur-
lington road. One morning when the train
pulled into Alliance the man who was in
s~pecting the wheels Of the cars found part
OF a leather mail pouch entangled with the
running gear. He took the remnant to the
mail clerk and tina ofieial decided that Il
was one which had been thrown from the
train at Dunning, a station about $50 m les
east Of Alliance. Twenty-four hours after
the ruined mail pouch was found at Alliance
a gang OF section men started from Dunning
to work. A few miles from the station one
Of them saw something hanging on a weed.
He went over to where II was and picked up
a 500 bill. Upon another weed a $40 bill
was found, and then another $40 bill. Money
was coming too easy for work and so the
crew removed the handcar from the track
and began to harvest the crop Of greenbacks.
For a space Of half a mile the weeds bore
money OF the United States and when all
had been collected It was found that 1916 in
unmutilated currency and $50 in torn bills
had been harvested. The crew returned to
the city and reported their find. That day
a report was received by the postofnce de-
partment Of the loss OF the mail pouch des-
tined for Dunning and Mr.. Swift was sent
out to investigate.
He found that the lost pouch was sent
out on train No. Al OF the Burlington, which
does not stop at Dunning, but which throws
a pouch OF at that place. The wrecked
pouch found at Alliance was identified by
the clerk. The clerk said that It contained
two registered letters, one containing $500.
which was being remitted by the Omaha
National bank to the bank at Brewster,
Neb., and about 300 ordinary letters ad-
dressed to Dunning and to points served
from that office by star routes.
The inspector heard Of the money found by
the section men and called upon them. He
foundt that the money had been turned over
intact to the postmaster and that It corre-
sponded in every particular with the money
sent by the Omaha bank. He took charge
OF 1t and turned It over to the sender, sos
short Of the original amount. OF the SOC
letters twelve were found and Il is supposed
that the others were mutilated by the
wheels or blown to the four winds. NJ
trace of the second registered letter was
found.

ANOTHER SHOT IN THE DARK
PoliOs Board Orders Closing Of Gambling
Places Not in Existence.
PRIVATE GAMES NOT TO BE DISTURBED
only Those with KITTY" Will BE
Sought For by New Bonrd-FOr-
mer Captain Hayes Pro-
NOTED TO Sergeant.

After an executive session continuing
from 3 o'clock to IL: 30 yesterday morning the
Board Of Fire and Police Commissioner
gave out the following statement in writing
20 the newspaper representatives in regard
TO It's proceedings:
The board gave Instructions to the chief
Of police to close and stop all policy wheels
and the sale and distribI lion Of policy slips,
and also all proprietary games. The de-
termination of the board Is to suppress the
operation Of the policy wheel and the no
torious gambling Joints.
Asked as to Just what the board meant by
the term proprietary games" Commits
sloner Wright said It was intended that any
game conducted by a person or persons for
their own profit through the means OF a
"rake-on," as II is termed, should be in
cluded within the order.
Chief OF Police Bonahue had been present
during a greater portion of the meeting and
when asked to explain What method would
be followed by his department in the en-
forcement OF the order, said:
1--WE shall go about our work very quietly
and there will be no great fuss about II
unless IL is made necessary. Notice will be
sent to the proprietors OF all games which
come within the scope Of the order
wherever we know them to exist, and our
orders will be that they must close up at
once. Then IL that warning is not Needed
we will proceed to max arrests. 1t is not
intended to try to interfere with any pri-
vate card games among friends, but those
that are run with a kitty for the benefit Of
the house will all be stopped"
No Public tanning Places.
Mayor Moores when informed Of the
boards action said: why, there is nc
gambling in Omaha and there has not
been for the last four years, to my knowl-
edge. l suppose, perhaps, there have
been and are some of those private little
games which It is impossible for the
authorities to control. but there has beer
no public gambling"
The fire and police board also announced
after Its meeting that Thomas Hayes Of
the police department, who, when the
board first entered upon its duties wat
reduced to the ranks from the position Of
a captain, had been moved back one steI
toward his former station and made g
sergeant. This will give the department
an additional sergeant, making a total Of
six.
Speaking of this action on the part Of thu
board Chief Donahue said: ut will be
great advantage to our department, To-
heretofore we have had to get along will
two sergeants for day and three for nigh
duty. In sending out a detail Of men W,
have to put them in charge Of a sergeant
and we frequently have found our number
to be inadequate. With the Ak-sar-BeI
coming on and the musical festival II pros
ress. beside the extra work entailed on &C
count Of the strike. we shall have som,
heavy demands upon our police department.
The reasons given by the board for tn,
present promotion of Hayes were long an
faithful service and obedience to orders"

THE HIGHWAY OF THE EMPIRE


Two Views of the New York Central,
Secretary shaw's campaign Joke book.
which has been accepted as law and gospel,
contains this:
81 stopped of at Syracuse not a great
while ago and listened to two men talking
about the tremendous business development
Of this country, in which everybody was
sharing. One OF them was making the
point that the general prosperity was for
the benefit of the entire community.
Look at this great railroad, with its
four tracks running east and west he said.
1T is a highway Of empire, carrying each
day to the Atlantic or the Pacific the prod
uct Of the factory, the mine and the loom.
Wipe 1t off the map and everything comes
to a standstill, and we become involved in
a common ruin
