New York Life
Building Changes
(. Name New Years
It Will Then Be Called After the
Omaha National Bank, Its
New Owner.

Omaha people, who for eighteen years
have been calling 1t the New York Life
building, will nave to get used to a new
name after January 2, for or that date the
big ten-story structure at Seventeenth and
Farnam streets will be rechristened by the
officials of the Omaha National bank,
which has bought it and 1t will thereafter
be the Omaha National bank building.
Already tenants in the building are pre-
paring to have the change made on their
new supplies of letterheads and advertis-
ing matter. At first it is expected some
confusion will result on account of these
conservative ones who will still insist on
calling the present location Of the bank by
the old name. The bank officials do not
anticipate that the confusion will be very
long continued, however, for the old build
ing will pass into the hands Of new own
ers and will be by them renamed.
The Omaha National bank Will take
nossession OF the building December 81, and
on the day following, New Years day, the
formal change of name will be made.
II is expected that the contract for the
remodeling Of the first floor of the build
ing to accommodate the banking rooms
viii be let within the next ten days.

COY BRIDEGROOM OF EIGHTY
DEFTLY SIDESTEPS ALIM0NY
UIrich TOIstedt Proves that Age Does
Not Blunt the Point of FInan-
fla Astuteness.

Ulrich Tolstedt, a coy young bridegroom
of So years, at odds with his wife, appears
Ia have been a fairly astute man. 1t now
appears that when he and Mrs. Tolstedt,
who Is said not TO have been his first help
meet, fell out, he quietly sold his and in
Iowa and Omaha, and, turning II all into
cash to the amount of $4,000. went to parts
unknown.
Thus he sidestepped any alimony should
this eventuate.
Also he started suit to replevin an auto
mobile from his wife, bringing suit against
her in her name before they married. Why
he used this name, Nellie Kerby", has not
been made clear. unless he feared to make
legal acknowledgment that she was his
wife. This is not very satisfactory, for 1t
is not disputed that he married the woman
who is IS, forty-five years his junior.
The auto replevin suit went against the
octogenarian I'm county court, Judge Leslie
holding that Tolstedt gave it to his wife.

ALESAIRE'S VISIT FRUITFUL
Quartermaster General Makes 0mahi
Depot a Big One.
AMONG LARGEST IN COUNTRY
General Responds TO EG-
mRnds He Saw We're Proper and
Which Major Mccarthy
Had Long Urged.

The recent visit of Brigadier General
James B. Aleshire. quartermaster general
Of the United States army, to Omaha, has
already borne fruit in the determination
of the War department to greatly enlarge
the Omaha quartermaster depot and make
it a direct dependency of the auartermaster
generals department at Washington.
Heretofore the Omaha depot has been
under the direct supervision of the Depart
ment Of the Missouri, the q-uartermaster in
charge, being an assistant to the chief
q-uartermaster of the department.
Major d. E. Mccarthy, chief quarter
master of the Department of the Missouri,
has since his incumbency of that office for
the last three years urged the import
ance of the Omaha depot as one of the
great army supply distributing stations and
accompanied General Aleshire on his recent
visit to the depot, explaining it's many ad-
vantages and admirable facilities as a
shipping as well as a storage depot. Cen
eral Aleshire at once saw the force of
Major McCarthy's recommendations and
has acted accordingly.
1t is understood that the depot will be
measurably enlarged and that it viii, in
the near future. be made one of the prinoI-
pal depots Of the country.
Early in the present year It was made
one of the group of five large purchasing
depots of the country. and Omaha has prof
tied largely by the sales Of quartermaster
supplies to it, these a~ggregating nearly
81. 100000 yearly, with the prospect OF be-
ing increased annually.
The Omaha depot under the new arrange
ment will continue as a purchasing depot.
and as one of the important quartermaste
depots Of the country will be second only
to the great depot at Jeffersonville. Ind.

TalEinE the Pledge.

Weakened republicans were induced to

pledging support for the peoples choice
for senator They would do this rather
than force the people to have confidence
in their own discretion or pledge themselves
for their party candidate. Then, when by
democratic aid a weak republican like Cake
was put up, the vote went to Chamberlain,
who in the tariff fight was seventy-five
times absent when important votes were
taken. Chamberlain was popular, having
teen twice governor, but his record since
being elected senator has made the people
sick. The people, unthinkingly. are too
prone to vote for the chimerlcal in poll
tics. They see Utopia ahead and chase

TRUE TO THEIR INSTITUTIONS
Unchanging Character Of the Saxon
Race as Evinced Throughout
the Centuries.

This tribe of Saxons had, by acci-
dent or wise leadership, happened
upon the very country besk suited to
them. A fertile island, cut of from
the rest Of the world and with room
for all, 80 that each one might, with
his family, have kingdom of his own.
This, with as little machinery OF gov
eminent as possible and yet all ready
to combine as equals in self-defenso.
But as they made their land product.
i've, as they became rich, they became
the prey Of other peoples from north
western Germany and what is new the
Scandinavian peninsula and were
forced to defend their possessions
and their customs against Angles.
Danes and Normans.
It is a curious feature Of tho abid'
ing, unrelenting purpose Of these Sax.
ons to govern themselves and to be
let alone that, though they were con.
quered In turn by Angles, Danes and
Normans, they swallowed up all three
in the end and imposed their customs.

and their institutions upon each of the
invaders in turn. They would have
nothing to do with the half-develeped
feudalism OF Angles and Danes, nor
with the full-developed feudalisn OF

ers. The conqueror claimed that the
land was his and that every holder Of
land owed fealty to him personally.
1t took about 100 years for the Saxon
idea to prevail over the feudaistic
notion, and the result was magma
charta. The magma charta wrestod
from King John by the barons was in
reality the shaking Of personal ale
glance to a chieftain by the Norman
barcns, aided by the Saxon gentry,
who had finally imbued them also
with their own love Of independence
and free government. They insisted
then, and have maintained ever since,
that they derived their rights. their
liberties and their laws not from Q
king, but from themselves. In the
days Of William the Conquerer their
king was elective, though chosen frsm
