g, M, Nattinger Dies
After a Years Illness
Organizer of the Omaha Loan and
Building Association Passes
Away.

G. NJ. Nattinger died last night at his
home. 26O5 Pierce street at the age of 80
years. lie suffered for several months Of
hardening Of the arteries Mr.. Nattinger
was secretary Of the Omaha Loan and
Building association which he organized.
Mr.. Nattnger had been prominent in real
estate matters during his entire business
life and was always an active force in
building up the city through real estate
lines. lie leaves a widow and one daughter
Miss Margaret Nattinger.
Mr.. Nattinger was the protector and
general manager OF the Omaha Loan and
Building association from its organization
to the present time. In the early sos, while
holding a clerkship I'm the Union Pacific
headquarters, he heard of the success of
cooperative associations, then operating
chiefly In the east. Two were then pros
pering in Nebraska, the first in North
Platte, organized in 1876 the second at
Grand Island, organized in 1881. lnstitu-
lions prospecting and popular in these
towns ought to be more successful in
Omaha, MT Nattinger thought, and he de-
cided to try his skill and ability in the
venture. A personal investigation of the
Grand Island association was made and
enough of the details learned to start the
projected Omaha association on right lines.
Several preliminary meetings were held
during the winter of 1SS2-S3, and the Omaha
association was launched in April of the
latter year with Mr.. Nattinger as secre-
tary. About 200 shares Of stock was sub
scribed at the start.
The task OF managing the association
was not at the start a laborious one. The
chief difficulty was the newness of the
scheme and the lack of experience, which
was gained as time went on. In a few years
the Omaha association gained a strong
position financially, grew steadily year by
year, and bazed the way for the seven
associations now operating successfully in
Omaha. Three of them, including the
parent association, are in the millionaire
class.
Mr. Nattinger considered the association ;
up building his life work and gave it the
energy care and toll a devoted parent
lavishes on a child The success he
achieved far exceeded the widest dreams
of himself and associates at the start
! Mr. Nattinger was one of the charter
members of the Nebraska State League OF
Local Building and Loan associations,
founded in 1898 for the purpose OF safe
guarding association interests in the state,
and was it's president for two terms. He
represented Nebraska associations at the
organization of the United States League
in Chicago in 1893 attended most of its an
nual conventions since then, and took a
leading part in its deliberations and duties.

County Has Been an
Easy Mark for Shoes
Miss Jontz Unearths an Easy Graft
Which Has Been Worked
Hard.

There is one way OF getting shoes that
Is easier than buying them. Hangers on
Of the charity department of the county
board of commissioners have discovered a
means OF getting not only one pair, but
numberless pairs. They decided they
wanted a pair Of shoes. They got them
and all they had to do was to request
Ask and it shall be granted, was the pol
icy of the county board until the charity
dispensing was turned over to the Assoc
ciated Charities office.
The requests came so thick that some cr
the clerks were attacked with pen paraly-
sis from writing out acquisitions for shoes.
The shoe habit scheme was unoarthed by
Miss Ida V. Jontz, secretary of the Asso-
ciated Charities office. Miss Jontz made
her first report to the county board Fri
day afternoon after an examination of the
records Of the county department
Her report showed the shoe habit had
been worked as systematically as that one
which enabled some people to paw for
homes on the installment plan while they
were county charges. According to Miss
Jonts' report one family of six got thir-
teen pairs OF shoes within a period of four
months Another family of six received
nine pairs within the same time, while an
other family Of five were handed seven
pairs in December and January and four
pairs in February. Another family sue
ceeded in adding ten pairs to it's wardrobe
since September l. one individual landed
four pairs on January "a. 1t was so easy
that she went back and got two pairs
more two days later.
Since the county board has declined to
handle charity tine shoe workers have
transferred their activities to the Asso-
ciated Charities office but they have not
been able to get away with the system
as they did across the street in the old
\ court house.
| Miss JOntz also exposed the scheme of
buying homes on the installment plan in
| her report. One family, which has been a
county charge for fifteen years and re-
csived supplies from the county store reg
ularly until last month, owns its own home,
/ ten lots in the city, a horse and a COW.
In addition damage suit against the city
resulting in damages being awarded In
/ the sum of $500.
Another family owns two homes in the
city, the rent from one paying all the
necessary living expenses. The family lives
/ in the other.
! One woman has been receiving help from
the county for thirty-eight years. She is
now n years old and went onto the city at

there remained in Taylors hands S3S7.1O Of
the associations money. In April 1896
Taylor made a statement of the financial
condition OF the association and with il
asked that he be allowed reasonable
salary. This amount he placed at 500,
leaving a balance of SlS7.1O There being
nothing in the bylaws Of the organization

In the records that the directors had ever
agreed to any such proposition, the bill
was not allowed.
About this time fear was expressed
among the members that the money was
not safe and an attempt was made to get
It out Of Cadet Taylors hands with the
organization OF the Commercial club and
the Real Estate exchange the usefulness of
the association had decreased and It was
proposed that the remaining money in the
treasury be turned over to the Nebraska
club, an organization then existing for the
purpose Of advertising Nebraska, with the
express condition that the money be used
to advertise Omaha. Fearing that IL an
order for the whole amount were presented
Taylor would refuse to honor 1t, a resolu-
ZION was passed voting the club $50. the
intention being to appropriate the money
in sliges Of $50 to 800 each This order
Taylor badly refused to honor and has
never paid. The association never made
any further attemptAo collect 1t and Tav-
lor is still indebted to it for the amount

Plans for the opening Of Twenty second

week, according to Councilman Sheldon.

In the opinion of the councilman, the
street will never be opened IL the present
plans are rejected. They contend that II

amount to $4,000. So much opposition has

AbsorBs Mortgage Payments.
Another interesting case is that in which
the Taylor concern absorbed $500 paid by
Judge w. w. Keysor. Judge Keysor held
q piece Of property in Hawthornes add
ton on which there was a mortgage Of
$500 On January 20. 1895, the mortgage
became due and was paid by the judge.
He gave the Taylor institution a check for

gage amounted. The owner OF the mort
gage was a Miss Graham. a school teacher
in Massachusetts,, and after II became due
she made inquiries as to its payment. The
claim was put in the hands of an attorney
and he discovered upon looking it up that
Il had been paid. Miss Graham never re-
covered a dollar Of the money.
Another case in which Miss Graham
was interested was that in which she held
a mortgage on some property owned by
William r. Jones and wife. The mortgage
was in the hands OF the Globe company

hams mind failed. caused by worry over
these money matters and the case dragged
along for nearly a year. Her brother as
her guardian placed the case in the hands

man was appointed guardian for Miss
Graham in Douglas county and after a
long fight succeeded in securing a decree
rendering the former foreclosure proceed
ings null and void. A stay has been taken
by the Taylor bank and the matter is
not yet settled. The mortgage was fore
closed by the Globe bank in 1894 and since
that time they have been collecting the
rent due on the place"
