poses to Launch Enterprise to
Compete with Rockefeller.

II the plans of o. c. Turner of this city
materialize Omaha will no longer be COM
PEELED to pay tribute to John d. Rock
efeller.
Mr.. Turner has announced his intention
OF going into business in competition with
Standard OIL, with Omaha a dstribut-
ing point and has opened correspondence
with the Commercial club to learn what
measure of support the club and the bust
ness men of the city will lend him. He
proposes to operate a wholesale business,
getting his oil from fields which are indie
pendent of the trust. Though he has some
backing, he feels the need of still greater
financial assistance TO make the project
go, and it's establishment will depend
largely on the attitude of the club.
For the last twelve years Mr. Turner has
been in the employ of the Standard oil
company, most of that time a sales
man on the road. He has Travelled in Ne
| braska and Missouri
1.-THE Standard Oil has crushed many
other competitors. why cannot 1t crush
your" was asked OF Mr.. Turner.
His reply was one of confidence.

BRYAN, THE SENATE AND HILL
Great COmmOner Not Candidate and
Hill a Dead One, Says Brother
Tom Allen.

81 believe Mr.. Bryan would not accept
the senatorship II a democratic legislature
should offer 1t to him. said Tom Allen
Of Lincoln, secretary of the democratic
state committee and brother-in-law of Will
liam Jennings Bryan,
Mr.. Allen admitted he had understood
w. II. Thompson of Grand Island and G..
NJ. Hitchcock OF Omaha were senatorial
candidates. He also admitted having heard
Of Dr. Halls gubernatorial aspirations,
and ventured to doubt the story.
Il don't know whether Hall would take
II or not" he observed.
Regarding a report brought back from
New York by A. W. Tidd, a former Ne
braslan, that David Bennett Hill had said
he would head the New York delegation
for Bryan in the next national conven-
ton, Mr.. Allen said:
"Of course 1 don't know what Hill may
have said, but l do know he is a dead
one-a back cumberland furthermore that
it would be better to have the opposition
of Hill than to have his heartiest support.
don't believe he'll be in the next ma
tional democratic convention"

Returns from California, where He
Has Been for Last Five -,
Years. seq ~

Victor f. Wilson, formerly of Stroms-
burg. then OF Omaha and a bank examiner
in Nebraska under the populist regime, has
returned to Nebraska after five years resi-
dence in California. He, with his brother,
]. w. Wilson. and A. b. Hedbloom Of

last two days
Mr.. and Mrs. Wilson with their son have
returned to Nebraska to remain. They will
make their home at Stromsburg, where Mr.
Wilson will resume his banking business.
While in California MIR. Wilson was CASH
Ter of a bank at Kern up to a few months
ago, when he sold out his banking interests
and real estate and went TO Berkeley, the
seat of the University OF California there
TO pursue a special course OF study. He
was at Berkeley April Is when San Fran
cisco's fate was sealed and was in the
stricken city over the bay a few hours
after the first earthquake shock, which
was quite severe in Berkeley and Oakland

BUSINESS OF THE NEW BANK
General Banking and Trust Opera
lions Under the state Laws
f. Planned.

MI T. f. Stevens of Blair, who is con-
nected with the move to organize a new
bank in Omaha, says the institution will
not be a savings bank 1t will be or
gained under the laws OF Nebraska, to
do general banking business and, as soon
as needed legislation can be secured, Il
will be extended to include the general
business of a trust company The men
who are interested in the move are quite
confident that Omaha at present offers a
very inviting field for another banking in
stitution, and they hope to open for bust
ness very soon. The main thing to pc
decided now is the location of the banking
house.
A capital stock Of 5000, 900 is practically
settled upon. and one of the probable sub
scribers to the stock will be eastern
bank OF great strength that has never
been represented in this section.

scIatica Cured After Twenty Years
of Torture.

For more than twenty years Mr.. J. B.
Massey OF 1922 Clinton st., Minneapolis,
MINI, was tortured by sciatca. The pain
and suffering which he endured during this
time Is beyond comprehension. Nothing
gave him any permanent relief until he
used Chamberlains Pain Balm. One APP
plication Of that linament relieved the pain
and made sleep and rest possible, and less
than one bottle has effected a permanent
cure. Mr.. Massey relates his experience for
the benefit OF others who may be similarly
afnicted. II troubled with sciatica OF rheu-
matism why not try Scent bottle OF Pain
Balm and see for yourself how quickly It
relieves the pain.

INSURANCE FOR DOG OWNERS
Protective Association Formed BY Omaha
Men New and Novel.
OBJECT TO PREVENT STEALING DOGS
Operations of Company Will at First
he Confined to Nebraska and
Then Spread to other
states.

The Dog Fanciers' Protective association,
the purpose of which is to insure owners
against the loss of their hunters and pets
by theft and to put a stop to the systematic
operations OF gangs of dog stealers, is
being organized at Omaha by E. P. Buffet
and ]. B. Cunningham.
There are associations all over the coun-
try for protection against horse thieves,
but the promoters Of this enterprise know
of no organization which looks after the
dogs They believe theirs is the original
idea along this line. They have sent out
letters TO about fifty dog owners of Omaha
asking for an expression of opinion on the
subject and suggesting meeting at an
early date. Already sufficient number of
men have been interviewed to make 1t look
probable that the plan will be successful.
The plan embraces the registration of the
dogs with the secretary of the association,
the books showing number. breed and name
Of dog, weight, age, color and special iden-
tification marks. system of physical
measurements. such as length from tip OF
nose to base OF tall height from floor to
top of shoulder and length OF head, is pro-
posed.
VIII Find Lost Dogs.
Whenever a dog is lost or stolen the
owner will notify the secretary, who will
at once give the description to every men,
Der of the association, and within a certain
radius to sheriffs, city marshals, constables.
express companies, baggagemen, bridge
watchmen and depot gate keepers, offering
a suitable reward for the recovery of the
dog or information leading to the arrest
and conviction of the persons stealing the
dog. AS a special tax is levied against
dogs they become personal property, the
same a horse or COW. In case of theft II
the value is above SIS, the offense carries
with 1t a penitentiary sentence upon con-
viction.
I'VE believe such an association would
stop systematic dog stealing" said J. B.
Cunningham. IAN Omaha banker told me
that nowadays banks protected by the
American Bankers association are seldom
convictions the thieves would be wary
about taking animals which have the tag of
our association on them, for our aim would
be to impTison an offender whenever pos
sible They are stealing dogs in Omaha
and selling them in Minneapolis and Sioux
City and Denver; they are stealing dogs in
the latter cities and selling them in Omaha
THE scope OF the association will be con-
fined to Nebraska at first, but our expecta-
ton is 10 branch out and take in Iowa,
Dakota and Minnesota, and perhaps finally
become national organization. In Ne
braska alone are at least 1000 men who
own dogs valuable enough that they ought
to have this sort Of protection"

Fine and imprisonment.

The penalty fixed by the United States
statutes in such cases is for a fine OF not

Joseph Crow has been more or less identl-
ned with Nebraska politics for number of
years He was at one time a member OF the
Nebraska legislature from Douglas county
and is by profession an attorney at law.
He preceded Captain II. e. Palmer as
postmaster of Omaha and has of late been
identified with the construction of the
Sioux City g. Homer Interurban Electric
railway.
The story appearing in a morning paper
that Mr.. Grow had left the city Thursday
afternoon upon receiving an intimation that
an indictment had been returned against
him as groundless The federal authorities
knew of Mr.. Crows presence in the city
and that there could be no possible motive
for his leaving the city as a result of the
charge against him.
A peculiar incident is just now recalled
that during the time the grand jury was in
session, of which Mr. Crow was foreman
In 1906 he protested TO the court that Il
was unwise, in his opinion that the grand
Jury indictments should be made public
He was informed, however, by the court
that after indictments had been reported
by the grand jury the public had a right
10 know of them except where It might
be that the indicted parties were not yet
under arrest or bond.
