P%atrOnlzc the Home Merchant.

1t is purely selfish motives that cause
people to %patronize mail order" houses.
They think they can buy a little cheaper
than at home, which as a rule is not true;
but, supposing it were true. they are
building up outside stores at the ex-
pense of their own home merchants. The
effect is not noticeable at once, but the
home stores and home market must de-
preeiate as the home patronage is with
drawn. If good stores and a home mar
ket are not valuable why is it that land
is worth several times as much when
close to a good town? In this conuec-
ton it should be noted that the news.
paper publishers, with rare exceptions,
are loyal to their home town and county.
II is not the man who donates CITY
parks, build churches and libraries who
are the great henefactors to their towns,
for they are few in humber. but the men
who set the right example by patroniz-
ing home institutions even when they
think they can do a little better by send
ing away. The newspapers should try
to arouse interest in trading at home, for
it is of vital interest to both town and
county. eventually affecting the price of
real estate, immigration, the schools and
every industry and activity.

CIVIL SUITS IN LAND CASES
Actions Are Being Prepared by Rush
TO he Brought In Federal
Court.

Special United States Attorney Rush is
busliy engaged in preparing the necessary
information in the land fencing cases and
civil suits will be instituted as soon as this
work is completed.
These cases come largely from the forest
and reservoir reservation districts in the
North Platte land district where large
areas OF land have been illegally placed
under fence by cattlemen. Much of this
land has been secured by soldiers filings
under the Kinkaid law and as the soldiers
have failed TO complete their hling under
the six months provision since fling. the
entries have been cancelled and the lands
have reverted back to the government for
the use Of bona hde settlers Several
hundred sections OF land have thus come
into the temporary possession OF the cattle
men under some form OF lease from the
parties fling on them. but the government
holds that such leases are in direct violation
OF the law and the oattlemen are enjoined
from continuing their fences on them any
longer and action will be begun al once

statement of Employers.

Declarations from the other side are If
anything stronger. Things are in a con-
dition where all the employers in the
country will work together" said the head
of big Omaha house, If it is thought
good tactics to close down the houses in
one or more cities so as to help out those
in another town, which may be the pivotal
point in the struggle, this will be done
II is not improbable that the Omaha plants
will shut down II there is a walkout One
thing is certain the Omaha employers will
run open shops after October s. Either this
or they will close down. Through the
summer the patrons have been prepared
TO help us out on the strike. 1 am salts

No city in the United States, It is asserted,
is more thoroughly unionized in the
printing crafts than Omaha. There are
not more than half a dozen nonunion
journeymen in town Therefore the battle
here is reckoned upon as sure to be fierce.
There are from $50 to 175 printers that will

PRINTERS STATUS In OMAHA
WalkOut from Local Job Offices Would Not

One Master Printer Here says open

Expires.

walkout OF job printers from the
Omaha shops within week or ten days
would surprise neither the employers nor
the union men.
The situation here is In a large degree
dependent upon that In Chicago where the
old agreement between the Typogra phical
union and the Typotheta expired July 1.
Since then the employers have been TAX
ing an aggressive stand and some of them
have posted open shop cards and started
to enforce that policy. Word received in
Omaha Monday is to the effect that not
less than $50 union printers have gone out
Of the Chicago Offices. Demands have been
made on the other cities OF the middle west
TO supply nonunion men to take the place
Of the strikers. None have yet been sent
from Omaha, but employers say recruiting
is going on In the state and that a detach
ment will be shipped from here shortly.
Issue the same.
The issue In Chicago is the same as that
involving all the union job printers and
shops employing them I'm the country-the
eight-hour day. More than a year ago
the Typographical union, in international
session, started the movement, which was
upheld by a referendum vote OF the MEM
bers and later stamped with the approval
OF the convention just held at Toronto
January Is the date set for employers to
concede the demand. In retaliation the
national Typothetae, or organization of
employers, declared not only against the
eight-h hour day and in favor Of the present
nine-hour day. but proclaimed that after
the expiring Of the existing contracts all
shops must be open to union and nonunion
labor ALIKE
Contracts expire at different times in
different cities but most of the large cities
in group Of states In the middle west,
including Nebraska, Kansas, Missouri,
Iowa, Minnesota. Illinois, Indiana and

present contract does not expire until Feb

formulated no plan for future action. They
assert they have not been approached by
the employers with any talk of increased
wages or new deal. Both pressmen and
bookbinders now work nine hours. The

Both Claim Strength.

Both sides claim to be well organized
The Typographical union claims to have a
reserve fund of close to s., 900, 900 and the
employers assert they are equally we'll
prepared, financially and otherwise. The
reius of control in the impending struggle
are vested in the executive committee of
the printers and the governing board of the
Typothetae. To date efforts have been
mainly diplomatic. Trouble in Omaha was
hardly expected until October 6, at least
but the way the local printers will be in
volved thus explained by a leader in
the union:
THE Chicago printers are better organi-
zed than ever before. They are thoroughly
prepared for the fight. But II Omaha and
other large cities send in enough men,
recruited from the small towns, to run the
shops there, II is probable the executive
committee Will call a general strike
throughout the middle west. The idea will
be TO force the employers to spread the
limited number of men over as great
territory as possible. The capacity of all
shops will in this way be crippled to a
minimum"

PHILADELPHIA BANK
 INUECEIYER' HANDS
FAILURE OF THE INSTITUTION WAS. DUE LARGELY TO THE FORGED STOCKS OF 3. H. GAS. KILL HELD AS SECURITY.

Philadelphia. June 21.--The City Trust and Safe Deposit company, associated among the most reliable financial lnsttu- lions In the community. today closed It's doors and Albert l.. Tabor, a state bank examiner was appointed temporary re- eelYer The company will lquldate and It's president will probably be appointed permanent receiver. It is thought that all depositors VIII be paid in full, This however, will be determined by the per manent receiver, It Is believed new company will be organized.
 The failure of the company was the direct issue of the forgeries of the late Benjamin H. Gaskill. the banker who died month ago who 1t was learned .yester- day had raised many certificates of stock from one to 100 shares. and borrowed money on them, In this connection Pres ident Moore said:
 Beginning in 1898 this company loaned to B. H. Gaskill X Co. upon most excel lent securities, until the aggregate of the loan reached s1b5,000; of this amount $70- 900 was paid after MT. Gaskil's death; that left a balance due the company of $S5,000, for which 1t was believed the collateral se- curities amounted In value to $127,O00. These securities left with the company several years ago were found upon exam inatlon yesterday to have been forged. Their actual value was a little over $5000 making the loss to the company nearly ss0000"
 This loss added to those sustained dur ing the brief tenure of office of President A. E. Appleyard, who was compelled to resign six months ago, and the fact that the company had certain liabilities upon it's surety bonds, induced the directors to discontinue the acceptance of deposits and to apply for receiver

MOST POWERFUL
Of Worlds Battleships Will Be Uncle
 Sam's New Boats.

Dispa tolfN to the Cincinnati Enquirer
 Washington, D. C.-The plans being perfected for the battleships Michigan and South Carolina contemplate the use of battery of ten S-inch guns. in addition to the main battery of four 12-inch guns. The ten 8-inch-gun fea- ture will make them the most power ful battleships in the world, and by several hundred pounds of broadside metal ahead of the best ships in the British navy.
 The tonnage of the new American ships will about equal the new British vessels of the King Edward VII and African class. Those vessels displace between 10000 and 17,000 tons, and are about 425 feet long. They carry four 12inch, four 9 2-10-inch, ten G. inch and twenty y-eight smaller guns. As the South Carolina and Michigan will carry at least eight of the latter guns, the new warships would be a great deal more powerful than the King Edward VII and African type.
 The adding of third screw to the new battleships, which calls for the addition of another engine, is reported to have been definitely decided upon by the bureau of construction. This system, which was introduced into the navy by Rear Admiral Melville, al. though looked on with great disfayor by foreign naval constructors, has proved great success on the Colnm' bia and Minneapolis. One of it's ad- vantages Is that in cruising great economy Is attained, in that when only moderate speed is required the cen tral engine alone is used. If high rate of speed is desired the two-wing engines, and, if necessary, all three can be operated.
