Most Noted Confidence Men nt ( lie Head ol" tlio Or- How It la AVorlccd. Wis. , Aug. 17. A burglars' syndicate or trust now exists , according to an ofllcinl of the poiico force in this city. In fact , there nro snld to bo about a do/on of these syndicates , and the next move will bo to consolidate them. The fuels leaked out through the ariest of a noted criminal hoio a few weeks ago "on misple- Ion. " In his day ho was one of the most noted bank robbers of the east utiu his pic ture adorns nearly every rogues' gallery in the country and occupied u full page In In- jipoetor Hymen' book of noted criminals. This man now belongs to that class which. Is designated In police clrclos as "gono.1 For some tlmo the police of this city have had an idea that an organi/ed gang of thieves have heou working the town. Thu variety of work done pu/rlcd them , however , as It extended from safe cracking to snoaic thieving. When this man was arrested the ofllcli.ls decided to pump him. An attempt was tnauo to make him bcllovo they had a case against him , b'lt ho so stoutly main tained that ho had done no wrong hero for a year that It was given up It was decided to send him up to the house of correction for n year or so on general pilnciplcs. When ho heard this programme he broke down and said he was already dying of consumption. A bargain was made unit he told of the "burglars' syndicate" with which ho was connected. A llttlo investigation con vinced the ofllccrs of the truthfulness of his story nnd tnov aio now at work on the strength of the infoimation furnished. The first trust ns foirncd in New York City oy u confidence man nearly a year ago. It was his theory that the burglar. * , safe breakers , bank sneaks , pickpockets , bVcony men und the whole cotorle , weie llko dnv labor ers they needed management. With a shrewd manager nt their head ninny of their stupid blunders could bo pievcnted and by systematic work the chances of detection could bo greatly cut down Ho got about twentj-llvo men together and so conducted mntteis that very few knew each other. With n capital stock of $5,000 ho mapped out a route , sent scouts or traveling looitouts nhoail , and furnished transportation lor his men. The tour xvas very suci-rasfnl and only onu man uns held and he finally escaped ny the power of the money furnished by the syndicate. This summer half n dozen such gimps have worked dillciont territory. The method was for the men to Jump into a town or city at night and do their work and then move on to the next stand. In largo cities the party placed a week's engagement instead of onu night. The continual shifting from one town or state to another innkcs their capture very ditllcult. Undur the old system burglars and thieves always showed n tendency to stay where thov made a good haul and keep on working until the police located and cap- tuied them. Under the direction of the Napoleonic confidence man this has nil been changed , and from n burglar standpoint , tbo syndicate system Ecemsto bo a great success.

Whatever process proves boat the men who own valuable mines now have the ear of cap ital nnd the southern hills have entered upon an era of development. The tide has set in toward Ouster as a summer resort. People who have found their way to this place are charmed. A Sioux City club house Is now being erected a short dlstnnco up the mountain toward Dyrotectivo peak , which is 1,000 foot above the city. The club house , while within the city limits , will overlook the city. Behind rises a beautiful natural park of tall pines , rocky points , llowers , ferns and mossos. To the north , cast and west Is spread n grand panorama of mountain views , Including the lloruoy range with Its line peak. No finer pleasure grounds are lo bo found on this con tinent than in these mountains , while the view of this range of mountains Is equal to anything in thu Alps. Within a mile of thu clubhouse are innumerable plcnlo grounds , and within easy riding distance mlnos of gold , silver , tin , copper , mica and other rare metals , so tu-at a line cabinet can bo easily made up.

Veteran hotter Curriers' Association. Niw YOIIK , Aug. II. To the Editor of Tin : UIJB : Thu Veteran LottoCarriers' association of Now York pioposo to submit , for the action of congress , a bill to provide for the retirement and pension of letter car riers , in cities aim postal districts connected therewith , after twenty years' service. It is believed that the proposed bill will moot with the approval of the community at large , and the executive committee of the association , on behalf of Us members , appeal to the press of the country for a free discus sion of the subject in their respective organs , and iinitoeriticlsmas to the merits of the pro posed bill. Ttio committee hope their views will bo sustained thereby as to thu justice and necessity of providing for this elms of the servants of the government in their old age , and when worn out and unable to per form further service in letter carriers. Tne percentage of the force of letter car riers that attains the proposed limit of twenty yearn1 service , in order to entitle them to the benefits of rotiiomont and pen sion thereafter , Is very small , and the consequent quent expense to the government llttlo as compared to the bonellts it would bestow. A carrier hold1 , his position during goo.l be havior and his ability to perform thu duties , his salary for the first year being l00 ! ; second end year , ? M)0 ) : third year and thereafter , $1,000. In L'.HJ of bluKtiuvi or inubilitv to work , no matter from what cause , whether such sickness is contracted in the line of duty , from oxpoiuro or from accident , his pay ceases Mom tho. moment hn is unable to per form his duties ; a substitute Is put in his place , who receives no llxoil salary fiom the government , but the salary gf the carrier in whoso place ho Is working. Ono spell of sickness will dlssinatetho saving' , of months , or yeais , of the most economical oarrlor , and few are able to provide for old ago nut of their salary. A carrier furnishes his own uniforms. In the event of the rotlromennt of mi old carrier under the provisions of the proposed bill , ho would bo replaced by a now np- poiiitee , who would receive for the first vear of his services , ( iuo- second year fbGO ; third and thereuttor , ? I,000 , as now fixed by law ; so that the retirement of u carrier on half pay at f 1,000 pur year , would entail an ex- punso to the government of $100 for the Unit vear , & ! OU for the second year , and thereafter t ! > 'M per year as long as he should live. The department would havetho bonollt of a voung and able bodied man. In pinco of mi old and worn out man , wno , if not provided for by retirement , would work when able , only re ceiving pay for the time ho actually works , and eventually dropping out of the service from physical inability to lonu-er perform the duties , U Is not believed that all who rearb. the limit of twenty year * ' service would at once avail themselves upon the provisions of the pioposod bill , nut only such us uro or may become unable to perform the duties of the position with regularity , and to the satisfac tion of thu department.

Arc you one of those numerous men that condemn a thing before they see it ? Do you pay five dollars for a Derby hat with some toney hatter's name on the inside , and think there's no other hat made ? Do you ever LOOK stop to think that five dollars has been the price of that same grade of hat made by that same hat man for a number of years , and that although everything else is cheaper , you are still claying the same price for hats ? 'lliafs business. Did you ever buy a hat of us ? We sell hats , and sell more of 'em than all the hat stores in Omaha put together sell.

The council sub committee to invcjtigato the affairs of cx- ( Jity Treasurer Hardsloy and thn Keystone bank , met this afternoon. Governor Patti- sou was present and ivas sworn and was nsKcd conccrninR the item in the report to Mayor Stuait bv the export accountants of the payment ot $71-1 in ISS'J by the Chestnut Street bault to Uardbley. Governor Patti- son said in answer to the questions. "I was elected president of the Chestnut Street bank in 1SS7 and served until the second week in January 1891. The city open ed an account with the bank , which was nvido a city depository. Baid loy at , that time was treasurer of the city. JMO Interest was paid Bardsloy. I never mot Mr. Bardsloy as president but twice nnd I never knew him socially. At no time , as prosidcntof the ba .k , did I nave any conversation with Bardsloy on the question of deposit , directly or indirectly in the payment of interest. No in to rest was ever paid on state money. The iirst intimation that wo had that money de posited b3Bardsloy was state money was when wo weio called upon to Illo a bond of $10J,000. This , Mr. Singerly ( who suc ceeded Mr. Pattlson as president of the bank ) subsequently did. Bardsloy came to the bank in Ibh'J and received cortiticiites of deposit. TliCMO certificate's wore gotten by Barilsley from time to time , and it was upon these that interest , was. paid , about $ l' > ( )0 ) atone ono time and $ "iUJ at another. The ilrst inti mation that I hail that the bank \\iis paying Bardsloy interest was when the cashier came to mo and said tbat Bardsloy wanted 3 per cent on his money. The bank could not ullord to pav ibis and the ccrtillcatus were surrcndeicd nnd the account was withdrawn. Tacao cer tificates of deposit are issued bv all banks and Interest paid on them. Tlio account for which \\o tfavo Bardsloy ttio cnrtlilcatos was not a check account and the money merely remained in the bank. We never p liil BarJs- loy any interest on the account. " This practically concluded the fjovernor's testimony. The committee then resumed the examination of the mayor's export ac countant's report relative to tbo money loaned by Bardsloy to n Ricnt number of persons as shown by the stubs of u . check boolcs. The sunn loaned by Bards- luy wnro .nostly small , The list of persons who appear to huvo received money from Uurdsloy for various reasons was a IOIIK ouo and Included many prominent politicians. In the cases of the latter the money in the majority of cases was repaid. By tha testimony of the exports Bnrdsloy , In addition to his various Illegal sources of pro tit to himself , appear.to have had the use of fOl7l..VJ5 ! ! ! ! for two months. This money belonged to the sinking fund am ) was the procceus of the sale of loans to nay tlio city's , debt. Bardsley Instead of pa\inj.r the money into tin ) treasury loaned it out at interest lor the porlod monttono 1. Before the committee adjourned the chair man was directed to request District At torney Graham to transmit to the committee all the documentary evidence rolntiiiK to Bnrdsloy In Ills posso-.slon , excepting the coi-respoiiflenco between BurJsJey and Attorney General AlcCamumnt.
