Nnw Vonit , Juno 2. H. G. Dun & Co.'s
weekly review of trade says : Moro dis
heartening conditions have prevailed during
the past week , and these who saw the be
ginning of iwrmanout recovery In the bettor
tone n week ago nro disappointed. The
inonoy markets have been closer and , os-
pcclally in the Interior , manufacturing
nnd trades are moro restricted than before.
Gold has gone out ngaln , the oxportstor the
week being about > ,000,00'J and the treasury
pold reserve has boon drawn down to about
$90,000,000. In nearly all departments of
trade uncertainty about the future has a de
pressing Influence , which is now clearly per
ceived in the decrease of now business , and
while most manufacturing works are now
employed on full orders , ns these run out the
number of works closed increased ,
Itvport from Cities ,
.Philadelphia rciwrts much disturbance
In Iron on account of railway rates , with
much complaint of. collections In nil
branches.
Trade at Cleveland Is fairly good , though
money Is closo.
The Iron trade at Plttsburg is loss on-
couraglng ; pig Is weaker nnd foreign Iron is
very low in prlco with a weaker tcndoncy.
At Cincinnati general trade shows little
Improvement and collections are slow.
At Indianapolis collections are unsatis
factory.
At Detroit money is close , vessel rates
lower ; trade , though larire in volume , is ut
very low prices.
Chicago reports increased receipts in
sheep 30 per cent ; corn , 30 ; oats 40 , and
wheat , 16 per cent ; but decrease in nil other
articles , especially in products. Wheat Is > <
cent below the lowest prices for thirty
years. General trade was satisfactory and
collections Improving.
Trade is fair nt St. Paul , the collections
slow and money closo.
St. Louis reports cotton and iron moving
liberally , but loans are curtailed to the min
imum and there is no market for local secur
ities , save at buyer's' prices.
At Kansas City trade is fairly satisfac
tory , but money closo.
No Complaint from Omahn.
Omaha reports good trade and Denver only
fair , with collections slow.
At Little Hock trade is dull with collec
tions slow , and nt Ivnoxvillo not improved ,
Atlanta reports fair trade and slow collec
tions.
Augusta reports n slight Improvement In
trado. but tight inonoy and slow collections.
Columbus reports collections less favorable
nnd money very tight , nnd at Macon trade is
quiet , collections slow and money closo.
Mobile finds trade reasonably good with
larger shipments of vegetables and money
easy.
At Now Orleans business is only fair , but
crop prospects , though backward , are
promising.
Speculative markets have been sluicing.
Stocks nro nearly ? 2 per share lower than u
week ago. Wheat has declined Ijjj cents ,
corn 3 > cents and oats 1 > cents , with
" "Sjndcratn transactions , few curlni ; to nuy
wheat with enormous stocks in sight. Lard
and hogs are lower and cotton has declined
a sixteenth , with moderate sales , though
receipts are small. The market for tin was
overloaded and fell 4 cents and coffco is
weaker , with reported sales below ll'cents. '
Lead Is higher and coal moro active. >
Gloomy lor I ho Iron Trmle.
Uncertainty about freights , labor , crops
nnd finance makes the iron trade gloomy.
Prospects of trouble with the Amalgamated
association sustain the present demand for
product , and the freight rates raiso' the
prices for pig , not to the advantage of
sellers. Structural mills are yet well em
ployed , but at prices which return scanty
profits. In the shoo trade shipments are still
largo. In moil's woolens commission
merchants are In trouble with clothiers ,
who throw back goods ordered , apparently
to got them at lower prices , und little is
doing in spring goods.
Exports of products still fall below last
year's in value and there is much withdrawal
of money loaned in this country on forcisrn
account. The fact that JTi.OOO.OOO . of such
loans mature within the next week , leads to
the expectation of further oxnorts of gold.
Failures during the past week have been
2H8 In the United States against 173 last
year , und 21 in Canada against ! I2 last year.
But two of the United States failures were
for moro than $1,000,000 each ; four others
were of firms rated iiit over $200,000 each ,
and forty moro of firms rated at ever $75,000
each. Last wcuk the total number of fail
ures was 273. , . " j.

Speculation Continue * to Drnjr An Ab-
Hi'iico of .Startling Foiiturua.
New YOHK , Juno 2. Bradstcots Weekly
Wall Street Ucviuw will tomorrow say :
Speculation continues to drag along in the
same rut ; incidents supply the place of any
gqnoral or marked tendency In prices. The
thoroughness of the liquidation is attested
biy the indifference of the moiioy and stock
mjirkots to the heavy g old shipments , the
outflow this week amounting to ( J500,000 ! ,
while- only a passing attention Is given to the
fuct'that tlio government's gold reserve is
gravitating to the neighborhood of'JO,000,000.
plSbllo'Interest , or buyimr for long account ,
arp prnotically absent and the bear traders
supply the only imitation which the market
lisis presented. Pressure to soil stocks from
tljln quarter , however , does not scorn to
bring out long holdings nnd the tendency to
oversell is still very apparent , The general
tone has , however , been unsteady and dis
couraged. The interruption is duo to Tues-
day's holiday , causing uneasiness nt the be
ginning of the week , and though moro activ
ity was shown after the resumption of busi
ness on Wednesday , It was miiinly nt the
expense of values. The fact that Now York
banks are keeping an unusually largo part
of their resources available for foreign call
loans and that money can bo obtained from
day to day nt various prices tends to
quiet the temper of the street and to
weaken the lorccs of the gold shipments and
the shilnkngo in treasury reserves. The
street , however , cannot fall to bo effected bv
tie pressure for money nt the Interior , the
tlcnmml for rediscount from that qutirtqrnnd
the Htcjidy succession of banking or mercan
tile disasters , which show the existence of
financial pressure. Another factor , not with
out Its eftoo4 , is the Bomowhat exaggerated
and , usably , premature cry that the Chicago
cage Woi Id's fair is a disappointment , not
only In Us direct pecuniary outcome , but in
regard to the volume of trnnlo which it was
oxrnctod to yield to the railroads , Friday's
market sliouuil meruascd boldness on the
part of the boar traders , whllo the distrust
of foivlgn Interests with the situation hero
lias a furthur effect on the speculative ) sltua-

NJSW YCHK , Juno 3. Bradstrcot's review
vf the state of trade will , tomorrow , say :
"Tfefmo effects of the prolonged stringency in
the western money markets uro characterIzed -
% Ized in detail In special telegrams to Brad-
street's this week. General trailo has al

are not altogether gloomy with respect
to the outlook ) but tha banks are calling
loan * In many directions and otherwise
tttMgiuenlug rcjorvc * , and are
refining to extend or grant discounts to
other than regular customers. Efforts are
making to protect certain lines of trade ,
notably grain. Money lenders are affected
by the prevalent sense of uncertainty In the
llnanclal wcrld nnd do not regard the outlook
ns encouraging.
An influence may bo exerted as well by the
wage contests In Iron and steel Industries at
the west during the summer. The tendency
of prices continues downward and Includes
wool , finished Iron , hides , sugar , hogs ,
wheat , corn , oats , lard and cotton , nominal

There are no panicky feelings expressed
by merchants or leading bankers nt the

of general trade Is reported from St. I/Mils

respect. Money Is close , oven stringent , nt

No Improvement In trade is noted in the

The weather has stimulated buying In the
province of Quebec , but there has boon only

SOUTH OMAHA SENSATION
School Board Ohairman Ohcok and Members
Bullo. and Jones Branded as Boodlora ,
BIG SENSATION IN THE MAGIC CITY
Agent VnnVochton of tlio fuller A Warren
Jtnkrn Spcclllo CImrBcs Mr.
Check Danlot Them nnil Tolli
the Story His Way.
Sensational rumors rofloctlng on certain
members of the South Omaha school board
have boon circulating through the atmos
phere for sovor.il days. l < \ Vanvochton , rep
resenting the ilrm of Fuller & Warren of
Chicago , Is the man who makes the charges.
The bad llavor arose over the school board's
award of a contract to put the hoattng ap
paratus In the now school buildings at Its
last mooting , when the Smo.iil system
was adopted. Vnnveehton claims that
his firm was hnockocl out bacauso
ho would not ante up to Chock and
liulla , and Jones says that the shoo Is on the
other foot , that Vanvochton offered to pay
money to certain members of the board , but
that his system was not adopted because It
fell short of filling the bill as well ns ttioono
that was adopted. According to Van-
vechtcn's statement Cheek , Bulla and Jones
were the only members that cut nny figure
in the deal and Jones had said ho did not
want nny money himself. Ho was present ,
however , and heard the money consideration
talked over.
Below is given in substance what Van-
vcchton said to a Bun reporter , and it is
given for what it Is worth :
"In response to a telegram from Secretary
Funston I came to South Omaha May 22 nnd
went direct to Cheek's ' office. Chcok sent
out and got Bulla and Jones. Chcok asked
mo for my prices and 1 told him that I could
not givb them to him until I hoard from my
Ilrm , but could glvo him an esti
mate. But I do not care to do this un-
thls the other members of the board were
present. Cheek assured mo that the three
gentlemen present constituted the board and
any arrangement made with thorn would
settle the business. I had no plans or any
thing with mo to show our system , but that
did not seem to cut any liguro. Bulla said
ho was going to speak plain
and I said go ahead , that I was n
plain speaker myself. Bulla then asked ,
'What Is there In It for us , ' meaning the
three members present , 'if wo select your
apparatus ] ' I stated that my hands and
foot were tied and oould glvo them nothing.
This was on Monday. Check advised mo to
think the matter over nnd ho would meet
mo in Omaha the next day and look over
some work that our Ilrm had put in thoro.
Conspired In u Snloon.
The next day Cheek , Bulla nnd Jones
came to Omaha nnd I mot them. Bulla
asked mo again if I stood where I did the
day before on the money business and I said
I did. 'Then , ' said he , 'you are not In it.1
They looked ever my plans , but after wait
ing around awhile concluded that they dia
not care to po and see any work that wo had
put In the different school buildings. Jones
said to mo that ho did not care any
thing about the money for him
self , but ho wanted the very best
heating apparatus. Just before leaving ,
Cheek or Bulla nskod mo to meet them at
the Court in South Omaha on Tuesday even
ing before the school hoard meeting. I
agreed to do so. When 1 came down hero I
usked for the Court and was told that it
was a saloon. I went there and found Bulla ,
Cheek and Jones waiting. After wetting
our whistles wo nil wont into a
room upstairs. Cheek again wanted
to know what there was In it for him. They
asked for my bid , and as they pledged se
crecy I gave it to them. My price for the
heating apparatus for each of tha schools
was $1.3:20. : Bulla asked if I couldn't make
it any higher. 1 said I could add .nothing .
except thu cost of the extra work of masonry ,
etc. They then had mo figure on that , and that
raised my bid to $1,580. Cheek thon'aroso and
said he would have to go over to the meeting
of the school board and loft the room very
hurriedly. I followed him out and ho went
directly to a saloon on N street , between
Twenty-fourth and Twenty-fifth. I saw ho
had gone past the street where ho would
naturally turn up to go to the school house
and I went into the saloon. There I found
Cheek in conversation with Mr. Clark , the :
agent for the Smcad system. I saw In a
moment that I had been duped and I did
not hesitate to tell Cneok what I thought.
Ho claimed to have met Clark by accident ,
although I am certain that it was by ap
pointment. I then told Bulla , who had fol
lowed mo into the saloon , that I would not
put in any bid , as I could plainly see that the
whole thing was cut and dried. Cheek and
llulla said that if I would put In ray bid I
would get a square deal and I finally con
sented to do so. Wo all went up to the board
meeting together , and Clark and I handed
In our bids. The board went into executive
session. Bulla came out nnd said ho would
tell mo what Clark's bid was and that I could
withdraw mine and make it read to suit. 1
refused to do so. My bid , which included all
extras , was 11,580 , and Clark's , which in
cluded nothing but the heating apparatus ,
the same as : ny $1,82(5 , ( bid , was $1.050. When
a vote was taken all the members except
Thomas voted for the Smead system.
.Mot by Tlircllts.
"On Wednesday I wont to Check and told
him that I wanted an opportunity to moot
the entire board anu explain the facts as
they had occurred , I said that I did not con
sider that I had been given fair play , and J
proposed to lot all the facts bo known to the
members of the board who had the woo !
pulled ever their eyes. This was
in the morning. Chock said ho would
see the other members and meat
mo in Omahn nt 4 o'clock in the afternoon.
Ho also said that Smcad's contract would
not ho signed for a week and that I woulO
have plenty of timo. 1 hod not been gone
an hour before Chcok went ever to Funston
and had him sign the Smcad contract.
Check met ma at1. . Ho said ho had seen u
knvycr and ho had told him that ho was
right nnd could do nothing moro. I insisted
on nil opportunity to address the board.
Cheek asked mo to lot up. Ho said ho bore n
good reputation in South Omaha and di'J
not want any bad reports to get oul
about him , I Insisted. Cheek then said ho
had made a living before ho went to work
for the H. & M. , and ho guessed ho could dose
so again. 1 demanded justice or I would get
oven. Chock urged mo to lot up , and said
to wait until next year and they would look
out for mo. Ho also asked mo If ono of the
school buildings would satisfy mo. I said . '
wanted nothing but a srjuarodeat.
"Tho next day Latousor sent for mo ant
advised mo to lot the South Omaha schoo
board alone or he would do mo with two o :
my friends in the Omaha school board.
"Saturday 1 told Funston the whole trans
action. Ho was surprised and said ho would
have voted differently if ho had known the
facts. "
Mr. Check was found in his oilico anc
asked to toll what ho know about Vanvech
ten and his bid. Ho said : "When I first mot
Vanvochten I thought ho was a gcntlomai
and treated him us such , I discovered later
on that ho was nothing but n baby. If ho
say.s that I ever asked him for money ho la a
liar and I can prova It. I adopted the Smead
system bocaubo I think It superior to the
Fuller & Warren , I did not sign the Smeud
contract for two or three nays after the
board adopted it , Vunvouhton hired Pa
Kowley tocomo to us and tell us that wo hut
better reconsider nnd glvo the job to Van
I told him that wo would do no such thing ,
In rcirard to meeting Clark by appointment ,
I did not. When 1 loft the room where Van ,
Bullu and Jones were I started for the
school house , but mot Mr. Clark , the Smead
man , and he invited mo to go to the saloon
where Van found us to have n drink. Wo
said nothing about bids or school house
Uusiuoss. "
mplintlculljDomed. .
Mr. Thomas was tlie only member of the
board who voted for the Fuller & \Vurron
systom. He said ho did so because ho bo-
liovca U to bo as good as the Smcad ,
Secretary Funston voted for ttio Smead
system , but claims that ho did not know all
ho knows now or ho might have voted ditTor
ently. What Information he got was from
Vanvech ton.
Jones was called upon at his residence and
asked if ho had heard Bulla or Cheek ask
Vanvochten for money. Ho said that ho had
not , but that on the other hand Vanrochton
had offered to give money to Cheek. lie
could not remember whMiQhcck nnd Bulla
aid to this proposition. .1
Mr. Bulla was seen this morning and ho
mndo n swooping denial -of 11 of Vnnvooh-
en's charges otboodlo. ' ! Ho1 admitted that
Vanvechten had IntinuUorti that ho would
[ Ivo inonoy to the boarrlj If > It would adopt
us system , but denied .point blank that ho
md over oven intimated' that ho must
lave something for liis 'Voto. "As to
refusing to look over 'Fuller & Warren's
ilttntson the day ho roftSh * to , " said Bulla.
'I did not consider that' ' kioccssary , as I had
boon shown both the systfcms previously by
an uninterested party. 'At the meeting over
ho Court saloon wo did hskl Vnnvochten for
ils bid. It was $ lt > 80 , nnd 'not n word was
said noout $1WO : or rihy other amount.
When Vanvochton loft that room I wont
vlth him and wo walked to the corner of
L'wonty-llfth nnd N , wh'oro wo stood nnd
alked for n short tlmo and I then Invited
ilm to the saloon where wo mot Chcok nnd
Jlnrk. At the school housn I did not offer
to got Clark's bid for Vnnvechtcn or nt any
other time was there nny thing irregular.
"I told Vanvechten frankly that 1 did not
think ho would got the work , ns the board
was satlsllod with the Smoait system ns
they had already tested It. Vanvoohton Is a
squealer and n b.iby , and It U tough to have
n character like him make oh urges against
lien who are honorable and fair.
Ho stated to Cheek and myself
that ho had certain members of
the Omaha school board fixed and mndo
other broad assertions that convince 1110
that ho is a liar and a blackmailer. I have
berne an honest reputation wherever I lived ,
and I do not proposeto bo duped by n man
Ilko Vnnveohten. Ho promised mo to coino
Lo South Onmha today , but ho did not come ,
too cowardly I prcsumo to.face the music. "

ISAAC SMEAD'S ASSIGNMENT.
Ciuises tlmt Led to the rinnncliil Collnpso
of the Ventilating Export.
W. A. Clarke of the Isaac Smoad Heating
ana Ventilating company is at the Paxton.
ABKn reporter interviewed Ifimlast evening
relative to the failure of Mr. Smead at
Toledo. *
"This is Mr. Smcad's second failure during
his life , " said Mr. Clarke , with evident re
gret. "Ho failed several years ago when
identified with the Uuttun iqompany. Bo It
said to his credit , hp/auhsequeutly paid
every dollar to his creditors , nnd I
have every reason toi believe that ho
will rise again , Plucnixliko , from the ashes
of this failure and pay every dollar. I think
ho will start another company. It is his in
dividual failure you must distinctly under
stand. It is not the Smcad company that
has failed. "
"Will you give your opinion as to the
causes that led to the collapse ? " askoa the
reporter.
"Certainly , " responded Mr. Clarke. "I
know full well what caused it. Mr. Smead
originally embarked in the heating and ven
tilating business ulone. Other companies and
persons infringed on his patent. This brought
on litigation , Mr. Suioad spent ? J.OOO ulono
on fighting Fuller & Warren of Chicago in
the courts to protect his patents. Ho ex
pended largo sums In the same manner with
Bennett & Peck of Cincinnati. Tins , and
competition , made inroads Into his revenue
and business. He opened n branch at Kansas
City , which proved profitless. Ho has sunk
$70,000 In the Kansas City house.
"Other firms started in the business and
Infringed on Smead's patents. Compoti
tlou was increased. Law suits accumulated
in the courts and expenses of litigation be
came enormous. Mr. Smead's finances soon
suffered from the drain. Ho became em
barrassed nnd was soon confronted by thou
sands of dollars of personal debts.
"Finally , last year , ho organized a stock
company with a capital of $500,000 and
accented a position as president nt a salary
of $0,000 a year. The company did not as
sume his liabilities at that tlmo or any time ,
nnd the result was that the payment of his
debts was impossible on that salary. Ho
wont to the wall. It was expected for some
time and hopes were expressed that he
would eventually pull through with the
assistance of friends , but the recent financial
stringency made the sequel of failure inevit
able.
"Mr. Smead is a man of honor and his
failure is regrettable. The failure will in no
manner nlloot tno Smead Heating and Ven-
turning company in any of its contracts in
Omaha. "
Opinion of u Itlvnl.
F. VaiiiVechten of Chicago , who represents
the Fuller & Warren Heating company , was
scon nt the Murray last evening.
"Mr , Smoad's failure has been anticipated
for some time , " said Mr. Van Vcchton , "in
rceard to infringing on Mr. Smoad's patents.
Fuller & Warren never did so , but ho sued
them on that charga and both sides spout
largo sums o * mouoy in itho courts to
settle it.
"Last April , Mr , Smead sent a proposition
to Fuller & Warren to form a heating and
ventilating trust , with a capital of f 1,000,000 ,
Out Fuller & Warren refused to go into the
combination. Mr , Smoad spent vast sums in
schemes and experiments und this , together
with other largo expenditures that yielded
no return , accounts for his misfortune. "

the Hullot Had n Cnrvo On.
The news that GottliebiiZlmmermann , a
well known German cltffpq , nnd owner of a
bottling establishment of this city , had
taken his own llfo , needs revision. Further
Investigation disclosed < jkWiifact that it was
only an unsuccoassful attempt at suicidoand
that Mr. Zimmerman is s UM among the liv
ing and likely to bo for sqiixvtimo.
It appears that ho .visited his business
place at the usual hour1 yesterday morning
nnd remained there untiflO o'clock , when ho
informed his daughtoav y ) > o was keeping
books for him , that ho dfauLd go to the bank
to transact some business , , At U o'clock
ho reached his homo" < i the vicinity
of Eleventh and Pierce streets , where
ho had some conversation with his wife ,
who advised him to tuko a rest until dinner
time , as ho seemed to be unusually nervous.
This ho did. and a few jnlnutos afterwards ,
when she had occasion to go upstairs , she
found her husband on the bed bleo'dlug pro
fusely from a wound in his head.
Assistance was Immediately called for and
Drs. Grossman and Jonas arrived in a short
timo. The self-inflicted Injury was caused
by a bullet , which had entered the left sitlo
of the forehead but had glanced around to
the right sldo where it took its exit , produc
ing a painful but not Dangerous wound.
Despondency arising from financial trou
bles nnd excesslvo use of liquors are said to
have been the cause of the act.

Irish Fnrco at the Farnum.
The Farnam Street theater was filled to
overflowing last evening to witness the re
turn engagement of Mark Murphy In
"O'Dowds Neighbors. " SInce the appearance -
anco of the company hero last January , it
has been strengthened by the addition of a
number of clover people and the Introduction
of a lot ot new songs , Mr. Murphy was ns
humorous as of old , and kept his audience in
a roar from beginning to end of the play.
His performance of Dlonyslus Gossan O'Doiid
places him In the very front rank of Irish
comedians. His methods to provoke laughter
nro genuine and free from vulgarity , and his
dry and unctuous humor is very infective.
The character of McNabb was in the hands
of Sam J. Uyan , well known in this city as &
delineator of Irish parts. Miss Clara
Thropp proved herself a most clover soubrette -
brotto , and her "Bow Wow" and ' 'Gcorglo"
songs brought clown the houso. Miss Mamio
Taylor and Miss Jenulo Murphy deserve spe

and their dresses nro most becoming.
