Statements of the Omaha national banks,
issued August %, at the call of the comp
troller Of the currency, show the largest
increase of deposits ever known in the his
tory of the city. The aggregate increase
in deposits since the statement of May 20
is A,Ss4 431. 46. The increase in loans and
discounts for the same length of time is
$i52ll693. Never between two calls Of the
comptroller of the currency has the increase
in deposits at Omaha made near approach
to that for the period just passed, from
May % to August 2.
Bankers say that the magnitude Of the
increase is due to the increased deposits
from country banks They are overfowing
with money and are sending it to the biz
banks of this city. At the same time a
substantial aggregate increase has been
made in city deposits and several of the
banks show large gains in this respect.

two or three DAYS out in this state, L tell
you there was no comparison. Nebraska

WASHINGTON, Aug 3O.-(Special Tele.
gram. 1.-The report Of F. H. Lawrence, an
attorney in the Department of Justice, on
the charges against Judge Eugene Tucker
OF Humboldt. Neb., who is an associate
Justice of the territorial court OF Arizona,
has been received at the Department of
Justice. Solicitor General Russell of the
law department OF the government states
that the report had been sent to Attorney
General Moody, who is at his summer home
in Massachusetts. Mr.. Russell refused to
discuss the nature of the report on the
ground that until it had been passed upon
by the attorney general It would be a breach
of confidence and would tend to seriously
cripple the orderly work of the depart
ment II advance information should be
given out. From persons wholly discon-
nected from the law department 1t IS
learned that some of the charges against
Judge Tucker have been verified in the re-
port, but to what extent and how serious
the verifcations go does not appear. The
most serious charge against Judge Tucker
was that he entered into collusion with
persons in Globe. Ariz., to provide him with
a house and Office, in which event he would
establish his court in Globe, although other
towns in the territory were much more ac-
cessible and better adapted for holding OF
district court.

Good Progress at shOshOne.
Official reports received by the reclama-
tion service from Cody, Wyo., indicate that
rapid progress Is being made on the Sho-
shone irrigation project. The secretary of
the interior has advertised for proposals
for furnishing 5000 barrels OF Portland
cement for this project, bids to be opened
at Billings, Mont, September &c and on
September 5 and bids for construction of
the Shoshone dam and Corbett tunnel will
be considered. If these latter proposals
are satisfactory contracts will be let and
work on the actual construction will begin
as soon as practicable. II is expected work
will have reached point where water can
be delivered in the spring of 1908. Field
parties are now busily engaged making

eating canal lines, and the work Of road
construction is being vigorously pushed.

SHOT FRIEND FOR BURGLAR.

Spartanburg, Sept. 2.-W. T. Glenn,
an aged farmer living near Duncan's,
was shot and killed by his neighbor,
H. P. Haddon last night Had
don was arrested and lodged in jail
tonight. The circumstances Of the
case are somewhat peculiar. The
family OF Mr.. Glenn and the family
of Mr.. Haddon attended a protract-
ed meeting at Woods Chapel last
night. On returning home, members
of Mr.. Haddon's family noticed some
one peeping in at the window OF the
house.
Mr. Haddon was immediately mott
fled. He went to the door with his
pistol in hand and observed a man
running across the yard from the
window. He fires shot from the
pistol and returned inside. This
morning he was astonished and
aghast to fad the dead body of his
venerable friend and neighbor lying
in his yard about $50 feet from the
house
He Immediately mortified the peo-
pie of the settlement and subsequent
ly an inquest was held. Early this
morning Sheriff Nichols was notified
and he sent Depu-y White to the
place. Haddon was placed under ar
rest.
The verdict Of the jury at the
inquest, which was conducted by
Magistrate Dean, was to the effect
that Glenn came to his death from a
pistol wound, the same being nflict-
ed by Haddon.
The tragedy is most deplorable
The men were near neighbors, their
lands adjoining, and there was no
i'll will between them. Glenn was
man comfortable circumstances. being
a practical and successful farmer. It
is estimated that he is worth $4,000.
Ter children survive him. Haddon

TOWN OF JUNIUS.
The Go After Railroad Facilities
and Succeed in Getting
Them.

Sioux Falls dispatch, 10 A concert
ed effort being made by the people of
Juniu s, little town on the Milwaukee
with few miles of Madison. to have
depot erected at that place brings to
mind the persistence with which a
South Dakota town will start up and
grow in spite of every obstacle.
The railroad did not want any station
at the point where Junius now stands
and the people of Madison and vicinity
did not want any town there. 1t was
so close to Madison that there seemed
to be no excuse for such station.
However, group of farmers got togeth-
Ell and decided to build an elevator on
the main line to save hauling their
grain to Madison. The elevator did
quite business and later a grain firm
put in another elevator at the place.
They did not get permission to build
on the right of way of the railroad, but
put the elevator up some distance away
and petitioned the railroad commission
ers for a side track For the'road to
encourage the building Of a station at
Junius, as the place began to be called,
was simply to take business away from
Madison and make the company addi-
tional expense without corresponding
gain, and they naturally discouraged
the project.
The railroad commission, however,
granted the petition for side track and
soon the new elevator was shipping
grain, and a third elevator followed
soon. Then came the general store, the
hardware store and postoffice, and with
characteristic South Dakota energy,
Junius blossomed into a thriving little
town, A depot building is now badly
wanted by the people of Junius. They
have petitioned the railroad commission
and have made such a showing in hun
dreds of cars of grain and merchandise
shipped in and out of the town that
they will probably get what they are
after. In spite of lack of encourage
ment Junius lids fair to find a peIma-
nent place on the map of the state,
though at present it does not appear
there.
