GOLDFIELD BANK g. TRUST co.

There have been a number of new de-
velopments in this defunct company s
affairs during the past week. J. IL.
Boal. the cashier was brought back to
town early in the week by Sheriff
Bradley. and released on a $1,000 bond.
He ISSUED. q statement which is IN he
hands of Receiver ilirshfeld, but its
contents mo be learned. The long
looked for registered letter which MAS
mailed III San Francisco to President
!. Il. Young of the bank. containing the
securities OF the institution. vas re
ceived by Mr.. iIirshfcld on Wednesday.
1t contained Il face value Of $26,4U0
worth of notes and collateral. Burton
and Young were arrested on Il new
charge sworn our by George Lawrence
Meacham on Thursday evening and
spent the night in Jail being unable to
secure bonds. The new charge is based
on the alleged drawing from the bank
the sum of 81 ,0UG on two checks OF So,
600 each. given by W. Il. Hale, which
were proven to he worthless. Ii was
asserted that Young and Burton were
in collision when this money was taken
Just jrior TO the closing of the i%nstitn-
ton. \ warrant has also been issued
for the arrest of ". Il. Hale. who IS
supposed to be san Francisco. and in
all probability he will he brought here.
Receiver HirShfeli this morning said to
a News reporter: Il have looked over
the securities and notes from San Fran
cisco, and am confident that at least
$4,000 can be realized from them.
There has also been found in the bank
$4,000 worth of additional notes. and !
believe most of them are good. The
bank also had invested $4,000 in stock
of the Goldfeld-Columhia Townsite
company, better known as the Depot
Site Addition to Goldfield. and think
this security is good. There are also
$4,000 overdrafts and ! think that the
greater percentage of it will be col
lected. as well as 100 shares of the
Goldfield-Lida Mining company stock,
the value of which is prOblematical.
There are a few other small invest
ments made by the company that can
be realized on. From present indica-
tions ] predict that III the neighbor-
hood of 40 per cent will be paid de-
positors.' This is a much larger sum
than was generally believed could pos
siblv be realized when the bank closed
it's doors.
Francis l.. Burton had his prelimi-
nary examination before Justice Bell
today and was discharged from Gus
todv. The testimony Went to show that
he borrowed money from the defunct
institution according 10 law. President
Young and Cashier Boal are still held.

A congressman from Kansas has
awakened to the fact that a powerful
competitor of the Standard Oil COM
pany lies dormant in the corn fields of
the great west. He has learned that
the alcohol which Kansas corn could
be made to yield-and which could not
be monopolized, for every farmer could
distill it-would furnish all necessary
light, heat and power needed in Kan
sas, at price that would stun the
oil monopolists. Why, then, it may
reasonably be asked, do not all the
farmers of Kansas set about this
work? The answer is as simple as
the reason is ridiculous. It is be
cause the United States government
imposes upon grain alcohol tax SO
high that competition with the oil trust
is impossible. This is another in
stance Of protection, and like all pro-
lection by means Of taxation it pro-
tects only the monopolist, who, in this
case, is the Standard Oil trust.-The

1t takes something more than in
tellectual gifts and personal charms
and splendid accessories to make a
man. For instance there is Chauncey
M. Depew who is handsome and elo-

ne lacks the one thing needful. The
fact that forty railroads number him
in their directorates while he occupies
the position of United States sena-
tor from the Empire state shows the
stuff he is made of. With all his mag
nificent trappings he is only a coach
man in livery to the Vanderbilts.. He
is just brilliant and eloquent hired

There is in Nebraska a life insur-
ance company that for safety and con-
servatism in management is excelled
by none in the United States. Its as
sets are first mortgage loans upon
farm lands in Nebraska. No safer Sc
curity can be imagined. Every pol
icyholder knows that the money from
which the face OF the policy is to be
paid when he dies is secured by Ne
braska real estate. Every Nebraskan
should prefer this company to any of
the eastern life insurance companies
that are managed and controlled in
the. interests of the stock gamblers.
The assets of the eastern company
may be listed atmillions today and to-
morrow through stock manipulation
may be almost worthless. Not so with
Nebraska real estate securities. When
you want life insurance look up the
merits of the Old Line Bankers Life
Insurance company of Lincoln. 1t is
safe and reliable and it's policies are
liberal. 1t now has over million dol
lars in assets. See the detailed state
ment on page 10 and write for full
particulars before taking out policy
in any other company.

The Strike and Municipal Ownership

Inc Strike and Municipal Ownership
The New York Evening Post argues
that the unreasonableness of this
strike and the dangers and serious in
convenience to the public ensuing
from it constitute a conclusive argu-
ment against the municipal ownership
and operation of street railways. The
Outlook draws a contrary conclusion
from the strike. Municipal operation
of street railways, whatever inconven-
fences it might bring, would, in our
opinion, be the most effective remedy
against street railway strikes that
could possibly be adopted. Such
strikes as that of the employees OF the
marlborough company generally re-
suit, in the last analysis, from the fact
that the men feel that they have no
other way of registering their disap-
prOval of the spirit and methods of
the management in control. A very
large number of strikes are not strikes
for dollars and cents at all, but strikes
for a voice in the management. 1t is
for this reason that so many employ
ers are opposed to the union principle.
They instinctively feel, and they
frankly and not unnaturally say, that
they can not be dictated to by their
employees. This fundamental cause of
friction between workmen and mana
gers is practically done away with in
all municipal work. In the first place,
the men or employees have always all
opportunity to express themselves by
petition to the mayor or to the board
Of aldermen or through the ballot.
This in itself is very efficient safety
valve for any fancied or real causes of
complaint. In the second place, the
employees or wOrkmen feel that they
are real component part of the COR
poration for which they are working;
they are, as taxpayers and citizens,
really stockholders in the concern, and
each man has voice in the election
of the board of directors. In the third
place, the rate of wages is always a
little higher and the hours OF labor
little lower in city work than in SINH
lar employment by private corpora
tons. This removes one of the causes
of friction at least. It is quite true,
as the opponents of municipal opera
IiOu dAu OWACA ollp ooy, Iudl AOl e lACu
will have to be employed at higher
wages and at shorter hours to main
tain the same number of trains and
the same efficiency as that maintained
by private corporation. But is it not
better that the taxpayer should get to
his office with little less rapidity dur
ing eleven months of the year, and
avoid the danger of being MANNED by
collisions or shocked to death by cleo
tricity during the twelfth month? 1t
is a fair question, too, whether the bur-
den of the taxpayer will not be les
sened rather than increased by the
municipal operation Of street railroads
in spite of the higher rate of wages
usually paid by the city. For the prof
its which are now paid in the form of
dividends, often upon inflated capital,
might then, with fairly respectable
management, be turned into the tax
fund.-The Outlook, New York.

Capture Forser at Fl. Madison.

Fort Madison, June 81. E. D.
Thomas was arrested here for passing
forged checks on local business houses
all signed with the signature of E. D.
Morrill,.
Thomas was arraigned before
Justice Chas. Doerr and pleading not
guilty was placed under a bond of
$500 in each count, in default of which
he was returned to Jail.
Thomas is about forty years old and
it appears has had quite a checkered
career. He has served time in the
Saltwater, Mimi, Joliet, ILL.,, and
Anamosa, Iowa, prisons before com.
ing to the Fort Madison prison, his
previous prison servitude, it Is said,
being for the same of7ense.
