OMAHA USES CHECKS
ISSUE OF CERTIFICATES DECIDED
ON BY CLEARING HOUSE.
One Savings Bank Demands Legal
Notice of Withdrawals as Safeguard.
Statement Issued Declares Condi'
tons Are Perfect.

Omaha. oct. 2S.-After a day spent
IN tclepuUuiC communication WIN
every clty OF importance in the mid
die west, from Chicago to Denver and
north TO Duluth, the Omaha Clearing
House association, composed OF the
eight national banks OF Omaha and
South Omaha, decided that, beginning
today, clearing house certificates VIII
be issued as a protective measure.
For fear this action may be con
strued to indicate unsound conditions
in Omaha, the association paused in
its deliberations TO issue a statement
to the Associated Press, signed by
President Yates, as follows:
The action taken by the New York
Clearing House to issue clearing
house certificates has been followed
by similar acton in Chicago, st. Louis
and practically all the clearing houses
in the United States. Under the cir.
cumstances, the Omaha Clearing
House association, which now en-
braces all the South Omaha banks,
has concluded to adopt the same
lOllS'' co q 40 wa
here are concerned, not the slightest
cause exists for this action. Some
persons may think that the banks
should continue on a currency basis.
but closer reflection will show hat for
self protection and for the benefit of
the community, they must issue clear
ing house certificates until such time
as New York, Chicago and st. Louis
can resume currency payment. In
1893 no such necessity was presented
to the Omaha banks-Chicago and st.
Louis continued to pay in currency
and so long as this was the case Oma
ha had no great difficulty in meeting
the situation at that time, which. II
anything, was much worse than the
present. With no source, however,
of currency supply, and larger bal
ances tied up in their redemption
agencies, 1t would be futile for the
Omaha banks TO undertake to meet
the currency demand which would be
made upon them. Not only would they
be called upon for the normal re
Quirements of their own business, but
they would also be required to supply
the demand which would ordinarily be
supplied from Chicago and New York
While none of the members of the
association would commit himself in
AN interview, one Of the leading bank
presidents in Omaha stated that the
conditions in Omaha were never bet
ter in the city's history, and that they
could hardly be better than they are
But. he said. the action Of the larger
eastern centers makes 1t absOlutel,
necessary for the Omaha association
TO protect the local banks from a cur
rcncy ~stringency. The country banks
have large reserves and the action o
the association has nothing TO do witt
local conditions. The same oficia
said the action may for a time have
the effect Of alarming people in tn,
country districts who do not compre
hend, but that city people are not ap
TO harbOr any apprehension
Thus far the savings banks have
taken no action, except the City Saw
ings bank, which decided TO begin en-
forcing the time allowance provision

WHY JOHNSON CRIED.
"There's an End to All Good
Things" and That Was
the Reason He Wept.

When Nat Johnson got back from the
Maine woods last summer, he told his
friends that for the first time since he
was child, he sat down and cried
AS he put it, There l was way off in
the wilderness, and | had smoked my
last Wadsworth Bros "Chico," and
knew couldn't get another until
reached civilization"
1t is strange what hold the Wads-
worth Bros "Chicos" get on man.
They are absolutely free from all artiti-
cial tlavoring, just the natural flavor OF
the pure Havana leaf, like that Of a 25c
Carolina perfecto. They burn evenly,
with solid white ash that stays on as
all good cigar ashes should.
Bell & Robinson have the local
agency for the "Chicos," and can now
sell genuine long fill Havana cigar

smokes on the market. There is nc

Iowa Leads in Corn Acreage.

Iowa is the greatest corn state in the
union. More acres of the staple grain
of the state will be planted in Iowa this
year than ever before, and the quality
of the corn cannot be equalled. There
are just twenty-five states in the union
which have planted million acres and
upwards of corn this year, and Iowa
leads them all.
In 1906 9,616,0OO acres of corn we're
planted in Illinois, and but 9,450,000 in
Iowa. Although this state led all in the
value of her corn crop, the greater acre
age could be claimed by the sister state.
Statistics gathered by the Farm Imple-
ment News indicate that 100000 acres
of corn were planted this year in excess
OF the area last fall. Iowa planted
9,540,000 acres which is an increase of
but 10000 acres. Illinois planted but
9,521 300 acres, which is a decrease of
$4,000 acres, and Iowa leads her nearest
competitor by $4,000 acres.

Pay As You Go.

Did you ever notice that bills are
larger than you had expected them to
be? asks writer. This popularity is
no fault of the merchant, but arises from
miscalculation induced by the slipshod
and dangerous habit of running up
accounts. Every retailer would rather
have you run an account with him than
pay as you go, for he knows that by the
former method you will spend far more
money than by the latter, where you
feel every dollar.
Another peculiar trait common to all
bills is the habit of arriving just at the
most inconvenient time for paying them.
If you pay cash you simply cannot buy
unless you have the money. Are not
these sufficient arguments against the
pernicious system of credit, eNtrava-
gance, cheating and restitution than
anything else in the history of the
world except drink?
Without making crusade against
the custom, consider few of it's effects
and then ask yourself whether you will
ever again buy single article unless
you can Immediately afterward pay for
it. After careful interview on the
subject will wager that the answer
will be No.

Romantic Chapter Comes To Close.

The romatic chapter in the life Of
pretty 1S-year-old Nellie Gray and her
lover, Lee Nash, was brought to an alb
rupt close yesterday by detectives who
placed the young lady under arrest on
the charge of grand larceny and the
gentleman friend as an accomplice.
The information was filed by W. A.
Graham of 1914 Arlington avenue, who
charges the girl with having stolen a
number of silk dresses, skirts, linens
and the like from his residence during
the absence of the family. When the
girl was arrested by detectives Nc
Kircher and jackson the goods was
found in her possession. She tearfully
declared in court that there had been
some grave mistake and her lover says
he knows nothing of the disappearance
of the goods. The girl is out on bond
furnished by her father, Decatur
county farmer, who happened to be in
the city at the time and her hearing
was set for Monday afternoon at 2
o'clock. Nash's case is still being in
vestigated.-D Moines Register and

Fire at Tuskeego.

Luther Bason's store at Tuskeego,
including the stock of goods with the
exception of about 5000 worth, was
entirely destroyed by the fire Saturday
night. The loss is estimated at $500;
insurance $4,000. The main building
one story high, IS feet wide and 80 feet
long. Adjoining this were two rooms,
one 10x30 and the other 10x2O.
About 1890 o'clock Saturday night

waste paper. A few minuter later fire
was discovered in the attic and as there
was no way of fighting it, the entire
building was consumed. The postofice
was located in the building, but all the
mail and most Of the fixtures were saved.
Mr.. Bason expects to put up another
building some time this summer.
