Buffalo robes win soon be thing Of
the past" said local dealera who has
had six robes on sale this winterA the prop
erty of a citizen who could not afford to
keep the precious skins longer
Five OF them have been sold. and while
$500 has been offered for the last Of the
lot, the dealer is holding It for 5000, the
price demanded by the owner. The robes
are not unusually large, either, and were
undoubtedly bought by people who intended
to. use them for rugs, to retain as curios,
or for some such purpose.
Imagine a carriage being driven about
town, a 5000 robe thrown carelessly over
the seat while the owner stepped into
business house for few momentsl Few
people would recognize the robes as valu-
able, however as they have no more style
than the ordinary fur robe sold at $50 or
so, but the value is there, as the pu7-
chasers will learn who pines for the skins
of a real buffalo.
II remember wen enough seeing buffalo
robes sell here for $40 apiece thirty years
ago." said the old timer.--Kansas City Star.

AFFAIRS At SOUTH OMAHA
Clerk Renders Monthly Statement Of the
0ity's Finances
SOME FOOO FOR Au1-ANNtxAuONsTs
Little Public improvements Except
Such ne Are Secured NJ Special
Assessments Against
Property.

The city clerk Saturday issued his
monthly statement OF the condition Of the
city funds BY q glance at the appended
table II will be seen that the collections
which have been made outside Of the levy
have amounted to S1ASi0.1S since the be-
ginning of the fiscal year This is a pretty
large figure and indicates that the levy will
be swelled by at least $4,000 before the
year is out. II is likely that this amount,
which goes TO the general fund, may be
distributed to the other funds and made
available for extras to the new city hall.
There are a number Of changes of plan in
contemplation, among them the roof and
the heating apparatus, which are already
decided upon. The cost Of maintaining the
city ofices for the last month is estimated
by the clerk at S3,sOS57 During the por-
ton of the year now past the city has ex-
pended S16,SA65 for salaries Of its officers,
1893 for the repair OF streets. For pO-
lice protection II has spent S99O93, and
for interest on city bonds $27,9S42S. In the
street repair fund there Is now SSH The
total amount expended to date is SlO3 792 Is.
There remains $124,6e0.77 yet in the treas
ury. This amount will be Increased by &c.
OO0 from collections. The estimated cost of
running the city for the present year will
be about S23O,OOO. The only public improve
ments from TINS whole amount EXPENDED Is
the S7,4s916 for street repairs Of temper
airy nature. All other public improvements,
such as paving, sewers and the like, must
be paid for by special taxation and the
voting Of bonds. The Observation-Disclosures
say they would get no public improve
ments from Omaha, but where, IL might
easily be asked, are their improvements
coming from now. The following Is the ia

which have undoubtedly long existed. Mr.

He was too late. The damage has been
done beyond immediate repair. and progress
In this great center Of the continent has
been put back for twenty years Confidence
and credit have been disturbed. They are
not yet shaken. Stocks are slumplng and
sagging downward in wall street The
bond market Is hit heavily. Railroad cor
porations are rapidly retrenching. Contracts
for extensions and construction will be can
celled. and no new orders for steel. iron and
equipment beyond the actual current needs
will be made. Even the New York and
Pennsylvania Central. and the Lackawanna,
as well as the Harriman-Hn systems, are
borrowing for these purposes on short
loans and they are paying higher interest

stop their war on railroads. Put your houses
in order and be good to yourselves. Stop
this war on the rich. All wealth is relative.

The above was posted on the doors of
the Memphis Savings bank, one of the
oldest institutions in the city, at open
ing time this morning. 1t is said that
the officers went before Chancellor
Hefsker late last night and applied for
a receiver. No reason for the suspen-
sion has yet been given out.

capitalist, is president and E. Il. Mem

posits of over a million and half dol
lars. Several weeks ago a statement
was published that the bank had been
heavily loaded with paper of certain
concern upon which 1t could not re-
alize. This set many rumors af1oat and
the bank inserted the following ex-
PLANTATION in the daily papers:
"A misapprehension seems to exist in
regard to a supposed loss made by
this bank. The facts are that an UNI
paid maturity was Immediately made
good to the bank by certain OF its Off
GERS and directors and the bank sus-
tanned no loss whatever, The claim
was bought at its face value by said
OFFICERS and directors and is their
property. Whatever is realized from II
will belong to them.
President S. P. Read of the memphis
Clearing House association said TO-DAY
that the SUSPENSION OI tie 4AACIitPiiAo
Savings bank would not affect any 9TH
er institution in the city. Mr.. Read
said he felt certain that all depos1tors
in the Memphis Savings bank would be
paid in full.
A statement of the condition Of the
suspended bank was made pubic on
December II, and is as follows:

Later a statement was issued by the
directors of the Memphis Savings
bank announcing that the. institution
was solvent and that creditors would
NOT lose a cent The statement says
that because of the financial string
