On Tuesday evening after the big bulge
In corn a hundred local speculator ! ! , more or
less , went to their homes with visions of
wealth before their eyes , but that pleasant
prospect vanished yesterday , together with
the Hawkcyo Commission company , which
, Ws carrying the trades.
Yesterday morning the heads of the firm
tailed to show up , but as the clerics and tele
graph operators were In their places noth-
Jng was thought about the matter until later
Jn the day , when It became noised about
that the company was In trouble. Then com-
fnenccd a search for the manauer and of-
Jlcers of the company , but they could not ho'
located. Ono of the employes of the firm
gaVc It as his opinion that they were hiding
in the city , but another thought they hud
left the city. Mrs. Hoogc left for Sioux City
Tuesday evening : and that gave rlso .to the
rumor that Mr. IJoogo had gone there to es-
jape his creditors.
All sorts of wild rumors were floating
'Qbout as to thu extent of the losses of the
company's patrons. At South Omaha It was
claimed that speculators who had been tradIng -
Ing with the company had profits to their
prcdlt that would amount to at least | 100-
000. One stock dealer was said to have won
114,000 , but these utorlcs are pronounced
hbsurd by an employe , who says that 110-
000 would cover Its South Omaha business.
In addition to Its Omaha and South Omaha
business the company had branches at Kre-
tnont , Columbus and other points and the
country has been n heavy buyer of corn.
Several prominent stockmen are said to be
heavy losers by the failure , but at the pres
ent time It Is a difficult matter to get any
Tellable statement of Ilio amounts.
The Ilawlteye Commission company came
to Omaha a year ago last January and opened
up elegant olllces on the first Hour of the
Now York Life building. The officers of the
company were D. D. Krazee , president ; H.
D. liooge , vice president ; James F. Iloogc ,
secretary and treasurer. They came here
from Sioux City and gave good references ,
among them Ed Haaklnson & Co. , the Sioux
City packers , and the Iowa State National
bank.
About a year ago the company opened n
branch at South Omaha , where It worked up
n largo business , especially since the drouth
became so severe. The stockmen doing
business at that point have excellent oppor
tunities for keeping posted on the crops ot
the country and they were among the first
to discover the extent of the damage to ths
corn crop and commenced buying freely
some days ago. A good many of those who
\vere caught by the company are Inclined to
keep quiet about the matter , as they regard
it In the light of a gambling deal and do netlike
like to make public the fact that they were
foolish enough to bo caught In a game of
that kind.
SUIT FOR SEVEN THOUSAND.
According to a petition that was filed In
'fllstrlct court yesterday Christopher I. M
Nouinan is one of the men who have hod
their golden visions of wealth consequent
on the boom In the corn market dissipated
by tue closing of the office of the Hawkcyc
Commission company. He alleges that about
August i ho deposited $500 with the company
( .o be used In margins on prospective pur-
(3haaea ( of corn. Uurlng the succeeding week
lie ordered the firm to purchase seven 10,000-
btishel lots of corn , which It did at prices
t-anglng from 42 % to D2'/fc cents. On Aug
ust 8 ho directed the firm to. close out his
holding at ES % cents. He avers that by
these proceedings ho should have received
$7,000. from the firm , which It has refused tel
l > ay.
ay.It Is generally thought that the company
svas doing what Is known as a bucket shop
business , that Is , the company carried the
UaJes Itself. Instead of placing the orders
on the Hoard ot Trade of Chicago. Under this
jhiethod of doing business a man who buys
grain In a bucket shop buys It at the price on
the blackboard , which Is supposed to repre
sent the Chicago market. The parties oper
ating the bucket shop charge the
uyer n commission for doing his
lusiness , which Is a clear proilt. The
iuycr puts up a small margin to secure the
rade. If the market advances the party
, vho bought may close out his trade at any
Imo at the price Indicated on the board and
the bucket shop man will pay the buyer hla
broflt , which Is a loss to the bucket shop.
If the market should decline below the point
Covered by the margin and the buyer docs
not care to put up any more margin the
bucket shop closes out the deal and puts the
tnargln tn Its pocket , the buyer being the
loser. It Is a hard game to beat , as the com-
tnlsslon charged gives the bucket shop an
advantage which the buyer can seldom
overcome tn the long run.
Ducket shop men have a way of hedging ,
is they call U , by placing trades on th
C/hlcago Board of Trade. Thus ( f a bucket
diop operator finds that all his patrons are
mylng , for example , nnd ho Is afraid that
lie market will advance and cause htm a
ois. he can protect himself by buying In
Chicago enough to cover the purchases of his
iustomors. It happens , however , qulto fre-
fiucntly that the bucket shop Is not so pro
tected , or the temptation to keep money In
band proves too great , and the bucket shop
falls , that Is , the operator leaves town and
neglects to pay his customers their win
nings.

Operation * In Oiniliu.
Chicago police have captured another
Omaha crook In the person ot Jim Stratton ,
one of the toughest of a gang of burglars
and thugs that Infested this city several
years ago.
The Doston store was burglarized In May ,
18S9. The safe was cracked and $1,400 In
cash taken. The thieves also secured nearly
$1,000 worth of dress goods and silks. Cap
tain Mostyn and Sergeant Tom Ormsby were
detailed to work , pn the case and secured
evidence that the job was done by Frank
Druce nnd Jim Stratton. \ The men .kept
very low for some time , but were finally lo
cated by Ormsby , who met them on Farnam
street about 8 o'clock on the morning of
August 6 , 1890. Ormsby told the. men to
consider themselves under arrest and then
the fun began. Both men drew revolvers
and threatened to shoot the officer's head off
If ho did not let them go. Ormsby slezed
Drucc and had a desperate struggle. Strat
ton got away , but Druce was finally cap
tured , Ho was bound over to the district
court In $2,000 bonds , which he forfeited.
Ho and Siratton met afterwards and or
ganized the gang of criminals that worked
In Colorado for some time , committing n
number of burglaries In Denver. Stratton
was arrested nnd sentenced to twenty-one
years In the pen at Canon City , but broke
Jail soon afterwards. lie was sent up for
robbing a postoffice and the federal au
thorities offered a reward of $500 for his
capture. Bruce was arrested some time ago
for robbing a sate at Terre Haute , Ind. , and
' > now doing a term of eleven years In the
penitentiary In that state.

AFTER COUNTRY HUCKSTERS.
Moruhiint liurfoot Determined to Sco Tlmt
l.lconso L. w In Enforced.
W. G. Barfoot , a merchant of Dcnnlngton ,
has decided to inaugurate a crusade against
the peddlers who Infest the country towns
and dispose of worthless goods to the people
ple to the prejudice ot the trade ot the regu
lar merchants. There Is a state law by
which a yearly license of $30 Is assessed
against this class of hucksters , but until the
present tlmo It has never been enforced In
this county. Mr. Darfoot proposes to sec
that the law docs not remain a dead letter
any loncer. He came Into the office of the
county clerk yesterday afternoon and planked
down $30 for a license to peddle merchan
dise throughout the county. Armed with
this license , he Intends to start out a man
on the road himself and every tlmo a peddler
Is found without a license he will have him
arrested for violation of the state law. This
Is the first time a license of this kind has
been Issued since County Clerk Sackctt has
been In office , but If Mr. Darfoot has good
luck there will bo a decided boom In this
data of licenses or else a thinning out ot
the peddlers who come under the operation
at the law.

fepi'dllc Clmrgcs.
The Internecine warfare that has been ragIng -
Ing between the disjointed faction of St. Paul's
Polish Catholic church has been carried Into
the district court , and eovenly-flvo incm-
bcis of the church have petitioned the court
to tnko a hand by granting an Injunction re
straining IllBliop Scanncll , Vicar General
Clioka and others from further presuming
to dictate as to the conduct of the financial
affairs of the organization.
The petition In the case , which was filed
yesterday afternoon , Is a bulky document ,
and recites at length the grievances of the
members , who assort that they have been
the victims of a systematic course of fraud
ulent dealings on the part of the bishop and
his subordinates. According to their story ,
the heads of the diocese have systematically
robbed them of their church property , and ,
after Inducing them to contribute the neces
sary funds to erect a church edifice , have
cooly taken the building Into their possession
and mortgaged It to still further Increase
the balance on their ledger.
According to the story as told by the pe
titioners , the church society was organized
In 1SS9 , and soon after the trustees of the
society were authorized to purchase sufficient
land for the erection of a building. Acting
on these Instructions , John Kowalenskl ,
August Krakawskl and Joseph Clch pur
chased of the Dyron Reed company lots 14 ,
15 and 16 , In block 2 , Summit addition , for
a consideration of $2,800. Of this amount
$1,000 was paid In cash and the remainder
secured by the personal notes of the trustees.
Soon after the remainder of the money was
raised , the notes were taken up and the
trustees received the deed of the property.
The petitioners go on to state that In
February , 1801 , there was no bishop for the
diocese ottlng to the death of the former
Incumbent , and the duties of the bishopric
were performed by Vicar General Clioka.
At that time the vicar general refused to
provide them with a priest unless the entire
property was first deeded to him. The con
gregation found It impossible to get along
without a spiritual adviser and finally were
compelled to accede to the demands of their
superior. They deeded him the property ,
and they now Insist that this was by false
and fraudulent representations on his part
and by the abuse of the power of his official
position.
After obtaining the deed the vicar general
sent Father Tadensz Jakolmowlscz to minis
ter unto their spiritual wants and with the
Injunction to erect a church building upon
the property. At this the society raised
$12,000 , which was turned over to Father
Jakolmowlscz , and a building committee of
seven members of the congregation was ap
pointed to look after the erection of the
building.
Hut according to their story this committee
was entirely Ignored by the higher powers of
the church. Dlshop Scannell took charge of
the building In person and finally removed
the old committee and appointed a new one ,
which was composed of Ignorant men who
were simply tools of Father Jakolmowlscz.
This committee , consisting of Thomas Travlck
and Nicholas Chercck , subsequently made a
report to the congregation of the work that
had been done and the disposal of the money.
The petitioners claim that this report was
dictated by the priest and that It was false
and fraudulent from beginning to end. They
assert that the report showed that a defi
ciency of $5,000 had been incurred above the
$12,000 originally contrlbu'ed , while the entire -
tire cost of the building had not been over
$5.000.
Acting under these representations , the
trustees were Induced to give their personal
notes to cover the alleged deficiency and then
the priests proceeded to appropriate the
whole property. Dlhhop Scanncll and the
vicar general , with Jakolmowlscz , Trav
lck and Chereck , Incorporated themselves as
the Polish Church society , and , under the
direction of the bishop , Clioka conveyed the
entire property to the new organization.
They then mortgaged the property to the
Nebraska Savings and Exchange bank of
Omaha for $5,000 , nnd Father Jakolmowlscz
left for parts unknown. Father Apolonlus
Tyszke was then Bent down as the spiritual
adviser of the parish and appeared to be
as much under the direction of the bishop
as his predecessor.
After reciting all this ecclesiastical his
tory , the petitioners asked the court to grant
an Injunction restraining the bishop and
the vicar general , with their subordinates ,
from further Interfering with the affairs of
the church nnd from executing ; the mort
gage In favor of the bank. They also ask
that the deed to the vicar general bo de
clared void as obtained by fraudulent repre
sentations , and that the bank bo enjoined
from foreclosing the mortgage given by the
bishop's men. Judge Scott granted a tem
porary restraining order , to continue In force
until such time as the facts could bo venti
lated in court.

The Omaha Central Labor union held a
regular meeting last night In Pattcrosn hall
with something over sixty delegates present.
The following delegates were admitted and
obligated : A. H. Willis of Elevator Con
ductors union No. C,998 ! S. L. Rawzcc of
Pressmen , Stercotypcrs and Electro-

neymen Stcno Cutters union ; Albert Kuecht
and Fred ( Juldner of the Ilcef Boners Pro
tective union of South Omaha.
Commlttecnuti Alfred Fawkncr submitted
a report regard.ng the Seavcy resolution
that provoked considerable warm discussion.
Mr. Fawkner thought that Chief Seavey
should be fully exonerated , but others
thought differently. Same members of the
committee complained that they had not
been consulted In making up the report , and
after all had had their say It was decided to
let the whole matter stand for a while , and
a committee of two , consisting of W. S.
Sebrlng and Alfred Faulkner , was appointed
t6 draw up sultahlo rcsolut ons stating the
position of the union , and to report at the
next regular meeting.
The special committee appointed to con
sider a proposition to publish a dally labor
paper submitted Its report , recommending
that the Central Labor union publish a dally
paper. After some d scusslon It was de
cided to lay the matter over and see how
many subscribers culd be secured.
President Schupp announced the appoint
ment of the following committees :

A committee , consisting of G. W. Sablne ,
P. C. Caldwell and H. Hogan , was ap
pointed to go to South Omaha and look over
the situation and take such action as It
deemed necessary to protect the cause of
labor. It was said by members from South
Omaha that the statement of the packers
that they would close down unless they had
police protection was simply a big bluff , as
they wsre unable to get help , no one wishing
to tnko the places of the strikers.
The following delegates were chosen to
represent the Central Labor union at the
local labor confercnc ? , which meets Saturday
evening at Knights of Labor hall : John
Mlchaolson , J. P. Haley , August Beerman ,
George W. Sablne and A. L. Shaw.
In executive session the Central Labor
union decided to stand by the South Omaha
strikers to the bitter end. Some money was
contributed , and all unions and assemblies
affiliated aero asked to assist their fellow
worklngmcn In their fight.

The Swedish-American Republican clut
tendered a reception and banquet to Ir
John A. Ernnnder , cx-inlnlstcr to Denmark
and a recent citizen of Chicago , who has
come to Otnnha as the editor of the Swcdlsl
Journal-Trlbuno. The reception took place
In Patterson hall , nnd wan largely attended
After one or two selections of music b )
Prof. Wnllerstodt , A. O. Ualstron was In
traduced , He delivered a warm nddrcss o
welcome to Dr. Ernamlcr. In the course * o ;
his remarks Mr. Dalntron alluded to the
fact that he came to Omaha In 1S07 , when
there were but a few hundred Swedes heru
Ho traced the rlso and prosperity of the city
and spoke of the achievements of the Swed
ish citizens. Ho hoped that the Swedlsl
clt'zens of Omaha would unite In giving Mr
Ernander their hearty co-operation and sup
port.
port.City
City Comptrsller Olsen contributed n few
words to the address of welcome. Ho was
proud of the success of the Swedes , Nor
wegians and Danes In this country. He
hoped these people would always feel a
prldo In the land of their birth , as well as
In the land of their adoption. In the mother
country they learned their first lessons In
freedom , Industry , 'honesty and frugality
They brought these principles with them to
this country , and this inuclc them better
citizens.
Ex-Councilman Steel spoke a few words ol
welcome , and alluded to the unswerving
fidelity of the Norwegian people to the re
publican party. Ho severely arraigned the
democratic party as being responsible for
the present misfortunes of the country , and
was proud of the fact that the Swedes had
not assisted that party Into power.
Prof. Frank Nelson of Llndsborff , Kan. ,
was also ono of the speakers. The Swedish-
Americans , ho said , were a liberty loving
people because they learned the principles
of liberty In their fatherland. Naturally
they cast their political fortunes with the
republican party , because that party stood
for freedom , truth nnd right , and he was
proud to declare that among all the recent
riotous disturbances he could search In vain
for a single Swede that carried In his hand
the red flag and the torch of anarchy.
Dr. Ernander responded briefly and elo
quently to the warm words of welcome that
had been addressed to him. He modestly
disclaimed the unusual ability that had been
ascribed to him by the speakerscof the evenIng -
Ing , but promised to lend all his efforts to
the advancement of the prosperity not only
of the Swedish-Americans , but of the entire
people of Omaha. Whllo disclaiming any
Intention of making a political speech , Dr.
Ernander said that the present distressing
condition of the country was largely the re
sult of the elevation of the democratic party
to power. Ho predicted that prosperity would
return when the republican party again con
trolled the government , but he advised his
hearers not to expect Immediate recovery
with republican success. He said the dam
age had been of too great a nature to enable
the country to recover at once , but he be
lieved that prosperity would gradually dawn
upon the country and Increase until the en
tire nation enjoyed the same prosperity that
It enjoyed for so many years under repub
lican rule.
At the close of the reception the party
adjourned to the Commercial club rooms ,
where a banquet was given In honor of tlin
guest of the evening.
