able for state and County
Deposits.

Nebraska bankers are busy making ar
engagements to change the form Of security
given for the money deposited with them
by the state and county treaeurers. At the
last session OF the legislature a law was
passed making 1t impossible for the state
and the counties to accept bonds signed
by any stakeholder or officer Of the bank
is security for deposits, and making the
acceptance Of bonds given by security COM
panies lawful. At present there are few of
the county and state repositories that have
not given personal bonds for the public
deposits and all of these bonds will be
worthless when the new law goes into
effect. There are not many indemnity COM
panies that make a practice of signing
bonds for the security of deposits, and there
is but one in Omaha.
The state bankers association has an
indemnity company in cooperation with it,
but under the present arrangement this
company will not give bonds for the
security of deposits, and confines its bust
ness exclusively to bonds for the employees
and officers Of banks. The secretary of the
bankers association, who is the state
representative of the cooperating bond
company, is now making an effort to have
the company extend It's scope to cover the
bonds required for state and county
deposits.
The date Of the meeting OF group two
Of the state bankers association has been
changed from May 80 to May %. 1t will
be held at Lincoln.

The south show window Of the Columbia

morning by burglars and goods to the value
Of $3.50 taken.
The burglary was discovered about 7;3O
by Fred F. Brewer. salesman for the COM

observed that the window had been broken
in two places, with pieces Of glass scattered
inside, and he later found q big piece Of

He at once reported the burglary to A. l.

boards at the Merchants, and an investiga-
ton was made.
1t was found that a number OF field
glasses, opera glasses and lorgnettes were
missing. The thieves prudently left many

show window. All OF the stolen goods have
the name Columbia Optical Company

about four years ago and the next about

IDENTIFIES STOLEN JEWELRY
Man from Minnesota Here TO Fasten
Crime on Chief Donahue's
Prisoner.

A. N. Anderson of Minneapolis is In the
city for the purpose of identifying the gold
watches and other articles stolen from the
establishment Of his brother at Black Duck,
Mimi, February IS, by Frank Fleming,
who was arrested here by Chief Donahue
a few days ago. The goods were promptly
identified as being part of the $1,000 worth
of swag taken by Fleming. Twelve of the
watches were recovered here, thirty-six
more have been located and the probability
is that all will be recovered within a few
days.
Chief Of Police Boyd and Sheriff Bailey
Of Black Duck. Mimi, are enroute from
that place with the necessary requisition
papers for Fleming. Fleming confesses
that he is the mar wanted and does not
seem particularly averse to going back to
Minnesota.

PAY OF POLICE AND FIREMEN
Board in Doubt About Certain Fea-
lures of New Charter Amend
ments.

Although the Board OF Fire and Police
Commissioner held a special meeting and
increased the salaries OF the officers OF the
FIRE and police departments to the limit
authorized by the new charter amendments,
no action has been taken upon the adoption
OF the sliding service scale, directed for
the patrolmen and fremen. The board Is
in doubt as to whether the previous service
Of reappointed men should count in fixing
the wages and the question has been sub
mitted to City Attorney Connell for an
opinion. The law reads as follows:
Each policeman and fireman shall receive
the following compensation: For the hrst
six months service the sum of $50 per
month; for the second six months service
the sum Of $40 per month; for the third six
months SIS per month; after two years,
continuous service they shall receive the
sum of $50 per month.
At the present all policemen and hremen
after they have served two months proba-
tion at S65 per month receive a uniform
wage Of SIS monthly. Many of the present
members of the two departments, especially
the police, have long records, not running
continuously. however. The question is,
should the men who have at some time
previous to their last appointment served
two continuous years receive the maximum
pay or proportionately in cases OF less
previous service.
City Attorney Cornell has not yet had
an opportunity to give the matter any
thought and has not prepared an opinion.
The board raised the pay Of the two cap
tains Of police from 500 a month to $40.
effective April 2, or the day the charter
amendments became law. Police sergeants
we're advanced from $S5 to $50; captains in
FIRE department from ss5 to $50, 800 to S11O,
according tc length OF service. Fire lieu
tenants were advanced from $50 to SS5 and
engineers from ss5 to $50. All increases,
save those Of the police captains, are not
effective until May 1.

Amateur night at the Unique Theater
proved a success again last night The
house was crowded and many friends of
the amateurs were present. The amateurs
went on after the regular bill. Charles
Middaugh scored a success with his sing
ing. The Smith Sisters" proved a dismal
failure and their theatrical ambitions were
dampened last night. Andrew Murphy, in
a song and dance turn, did well. as did John
Williams in a contortion act. Albert But
terrified, in his chicken initiating" act,
scored the hit Of the evening. Little Grace
Morrison opened the professional bill. Her
songs are we'll rendered and she deserves
the first place on the programme. To-
morrow night Will be Miss Morrison's last
appearance in this city for some time. She
will leave Sunday and play in the higher
priced houses on the Castle circuit. Miss
Morrison is followed in a short sketch by
Billy Marine and the audience was pleased
by Marines quaint jokes: Howard and
Cook, in a musical act, did well, as did
the Empire Trio. The latter is one of the
best numbers that has ever been given in
the Unique. The trio is composed of Ed
ward. Eta and Eugene Marillo. The per-
formance closes with a new set of moving
pictures.
