NEW BANK OPENS ITS DOORS
Consolidated United States National
starts ont at sixteenth and
FarnRIn Streets.

UNITED States National bankr is the
sign on the window of the bank building
at the northwest corner of Sixteenth and
Farnam streets In place of the CONNER
cial National sign which has been there for
years. The Commercial National and the
Union National are institutions of the past.
At the old Union National at Fifteenth and
Dodge a placard announces to depositors
that their business in future is to be done
at Sixteenth and Farnam. The iron gates
Of the old United States National at
Twelfth and Farnam are closed and a
large wooden sign tells the public of the
change Of location.
The quarters Of the newly consolidated
bank are being remodeIed and do not
present a very completed appearance.
When the new furniture and thing are in
place, however and the decoration of the
ceiling is finished, the place will be worthy
of the institution which is doing business
there.
The banking room presented an animated
scene, the officers OF the new bank holding
a reception to hundreds OF patrons of the
three merged banks who called to see
them. A large floral horseshoe sent to bear
the greetings of ]. l.. Brandeis & Sons
bank occupied conspicuous place in front
Of the entrance.
In spite OF the bank consolidation, which
many thought would reduce the clearings
for Omaha. gain of nearly 100000 was
shown Monday morning over the CORE
spending date last year. 1t is thought by
| bank officials that the consolidation will
have a tendency to cut the clearings for
this city between $4,000 and 900 per day,
but as long as Omaha is making the giant
stride that 1t is at present this will not
| be noticeable

AMPLE PROOF, SAYS HOWELL
Evidence that Grain Com
bine t. stin Active. Claimed by
worrnITs Attorneys.


1--WE have positive evidence, having seen
the cards sent out that up to July IL. the
grain trust was doing business in Nebraska
as usual We are morally certain that this
continued at least up to Saturday night
OF course we do not know what the mem
bers did on Sunday. Probably they went TO
church"
Thus spoke F. s. Howell Of the law firm
OF Jefferis & Howell who are Tom wor-
rails attorneys in his civil damage case
against the trust said to exist among grain
buying firms in Nebraska. Mr.. Howell was
asked II he had any knowledge Of a con-
certed move said to have been planned by
trail and eastern Nebraska to get after the
public prosecutors.
II have heard in an indirect way Of such
a plan" said Mr.. Howell. Personally, l
know nothing Of 1t. In the nature of things.
It is not likely that our firm would have
specific advice OF such move. Nor would
we be expected to be taken into the coun-
sells OF the attorney general, unless posi-
bly, in confidential way. Attorney General
Brown may or may not have this matter
under consideration. but IL he has he will
follow his own bent, undoubtedly, as to
when and how he will take It up.
what we do know is that the people
involved in this suit do hate to relinquish
their cents a bushel profit or their
cents a bushel profit. We expect them 70
fight with every means at their command
and to beat the law and the testimony II
they can. Our suit has not stopped the
operation Of the trust that we know"

ONE OF FOUNDERS OF WRAY

Peter Campbell. for several years register
Of the land once at Wray, Col. is In
Omaha. He helped 70 lay out the town
OF Wray, which Is now the center OF a
hourishins community. The country TO the
south OF wray win produce most excellent
crops this year. according to Mr.. Campbell,
but the land north OF Wray is being turned
back to the government because the set
tiers who acquired It under the timber
claim act could not fulhll the conditions
laid down by congress. During the last
year 5000 OF the 1000 claims which were
taken up have been abandoned and turned
back TO the government. These restrictions
were that the the person making the entry
should grow trees four feet apart. There
are now 100000 acres Of government land
within thirty or forty miles OF Wray
which would be splendid land for intelli-
gent farming. although Il would not grow
the trees required by the government.
THIS laad can now, be hled upon under
the homestead act. Wray sold n75,0OC
worth OF hogs last season.

BALFOUR HOLDS HIS PLACE
British Premier Announces His Intention Of
Retaining Reins of Government
HOUSE IS FILLED TO HEAR HIS REMARKS
AdveFHe Vote of Thursday VIII Not
Compel the King to Select
New Cabinet at
Present.

LONDON, July 4-The government has
no intention Of resigning in consequence OF
Thursdays adverse. This was the gist OF
premier Balfour's eagerly anticipated
statement in the House Of Commons this
afternoon.
Although It has been generally recognized
that such would be the decision of the
premier there was feverish eagerness on
all sides to hear the exact terms OF his
statement. The house was literally packed
Every gallery available to the peers and
the public was crowded and there had not
been such an attendance of members dur
ing the life OF the present Parliament
Mr.. Balfour who was heartily cheered by
his supporters on rising tried the patience
OF his hearers somewhat BY long disqui-
sition on how former. administrations had
ignored defeats similar to that on Thurs
day. He declared that such incidents had
never been regarded as ground for resigna-
ton or dissolution and announced that the
government did not propose either to resign
or dissolve Parliament because Of Thurs
days occurrence.
The premier considered that It would be
grave evil II the tenure Of ministers was
made dependent on such votes as that of
Thursday. He hoped the practice would
never prevail OF allowing a government,
united in itself and possessing the conf
dence Of the majority Of the house, to
abandon It's post merely in consequence of
such vote.
Opposition IL Bitter.
MIR. Balfour sat down without referring
TO the remaining business of the session.
and Sir Henry Campbell-Bannerman, the
liberal leader, Immediately asked for an
opportunity to discuss the premiers state
ment The opposition, he said, did not
propose to proceed with Sir Edward Grey's
proposed vote OF censuFe, which obviously
was superseded by the occurrence Of Thurs
day They wanted to discuss the conduct
OF the government regarding the events OF
last week. John Redmond. the leader OF
the Irish nationalists, took a similar line
and the heated tone, OF both leaders indi-
Gated that the government will have to
face the most determined opposition during
the remainder OF the session. Ultimately
by Arrangement with Mr.. Balfour, the chief
government whip, Sir Alexander Acland.
Ho1d, formally moved to adjournment. and
Sir Henry Campbell Bannerman opened the
debate with a stirring attack upon the
government.

short phrases characterized the premier
action as contemplate The opposition, h,

and pathetic as have been the occurrences
accompanying and following the explosion
on the United States gunboat Bennington
In San Diego harbor, the story Of the
frishtful accident has reached the point
where the feeling OF suspense may give
way to the relief OF knowing that the ex-

most important development of today is
the certainty that no member of the crew
OF the Bennington remains unaccounted

exploration OF the depths of the hold now

The summary OF the situation early this
morning was ifty-four identified dead;
four unidentified dead, which brings the
total up to that Of the number OF the Of
ficers and crew, 1877.
Inquiries OF the representatives of the
Associated Press on board the Bennington
this morning resulted in the location of
the last man. whose name appeared among
the list Of missing, c. A. Mumper, who is
found to be alive and uninjured.
Moreover, this mornings investigation
resulted in definitely establishing the
