Nothing was heard from him for
the last eighteen months. The last
news received was dated March II,
1908. when he was near Cape Thomas

to be excellent, and that he had pick

Special Night at the Den Proves One
of Biggest and Best of
Whole Season.

TIN 60 years old and have Travelled all
over this country as well as other coun-
tries. but tell you truthfully that I have
never seen anything in my life like this
oprey o f'Paprika Schnitzel," " said w. s.
Witham of Atlanta Ca, the man who
owns ninety banks and who Is in Omaha
to address the convention of the Nebraska
Bankers association.
A special performance Of the beautiful
oprey had been arranged for Wednesday
night fer the entertainment of the visiting
bankers and the big den was packed with
bankers insurance men, visiting Eagles
and Knights Of Ak-Sar-Ben. The per-
formance went with a swish and swirl
and was heightened by the many encores
which the bankers forced upon the singers.
oscar Lieben and Ben Cotton have ex-
changed parts and both seemed to have
improved by the change.
"Horsemen" is still the cry of the parade
committee and it was announced that un-
less fifty more horsemen put in an ap-
pearance the parades would be seriously
hampered for want of men. Riders are
wanted for the big electrical parade and
should report to Charles Karbach.
Grand Mufti Herring announced that
the enrolment now numbered 1903, which
is considerably in excess of last year. The
membership was increased during the last
week by knights Fastening to get under
the wire in time to be able to visit the
den Taft night and also to sit at the
banquet table.
Peary and the North pole were at the
den and were the center of attraction be-
fore the curtain went up for the first act
of the oprey.
Clement Chase delivered the address of
welcome to the visiting bankers in behalf
OF the Knights of Ak-Sar-Ben and said
that the Nebraska bankers stood for the
ideal Of good citizenship and told them that
Omaha would surely appreciate any good
word which they might be able to carry
back into the state.
"Omaha's strides have been rapid since
Ak -Sar-Ben came into existence" said
c. e. Burnham Of Norfolk, president of
the Nebraska Bankers association. "Magni-
ficent buildings and many other improve
ments testify to what this order has done
for Omaha The counties of Nebraska
are loyal to Omaha for Omaha has drawn
on different parts OF the state for many
of its best citizens. Paprika schnitzel, the
star Of the evening, comes from my
county"
r. C. Wilson of the Commercial National
bank Of Chicago told several good stories
and f. r. Gurney of Fremont followed
with some more "All the bankers of Ne
braska are proud of the record this city
is making" said Mr.. Gurney, land we are
proud of Omaha and Of Ak-Sar-Ben. These
bankers are but clearing houses helping
put the resources of the state to work to
help enrich Nebraska"
Mr.. witham added after his opening
remarks that ne would trade two good
banks ana throw in carload OF water
melons for the oprey II he could have Il
to take to Georgia.

THE NEW ORE.
One of Andrew Carnegie's Early Iron

One of Andrew Carnegie's Early Iron
Experiences.
Andrew Carnegie once stated that a
short time after the starting of his
first plant in Pittsburg he had an odd
experience with iron ore.

pied about the usual grade, so far as
1 was able to judge from appearances,
at a reduced price" he said 81 bought
several thousand tons-a big order for
those days. The second day after we
commenced to run it the foreman came
to the office and told me the new ore
was of no account, that it did not flow
and that the furnaces were so chOked
they would have to be dumped unless
some remedy was found. Those fires
were built to last two years, and to
dump them at this time would mean
so heavy a loss as to practically put
me out Of business. A young chemist
had called on me a few weeks before,
and, while had not paid much atten-
ton to him, | had kept his card. 1t
occurred to me that he might possibly

to do with the iron business. But I
sent for him, and he came at once.
First he examined the new ore and
then the old that we had been running
without difficulty, and finally he looked
at the furnaces. To avoid delay he
made little test of the two ores right
there. l had told him when he ar
rived that l felt sure the new ore was
worthless and admitted my mistake
in buying it. Of course / did this as
I did not want him to think l was
ignorant of the business. You can
imagine my surprise, then, when at
the conclusion of his test he quietly
Informed US that the new ore was so
good we did not know how to run it.
The fact was that the new ore con-
tanned 20 per cent more iron than the
old, and all that it was necessary to
do was to add a proportionate increase
