NEW POLICE COMMISSIONERS
Governor Appointed Charles II , Brown and
D , Olem Dcaver Yesterday ,
SUCCEED UARTMAN AND COBURN FRIDAY
JlppnbllrniiK and ropullitl Will lie
KcprfKRiitod In the llnnrd with One f
Democrat Holding Mnlnnco of Power
Appointment Well Itocclvod.
The appointment of Charles H. Brown and
1) . Clem Deaver as members of the Hoard of
Fire and Police Commissioners ot Omaha
was announced by Oovcrtior Holcomb ycstor-
flay afternoon. These mon are to succeed Com
missioners Coburn and Ilartman , whose terms
will expire Friday of this week.
When the appointments were announced on
the street ths general expression was that
the governor had made excllent selections.
A prominent republican * ald : "The only
thing that can possibly be sild against Char
ley llrown Is that he Is a rantankerous demo
crat. Hut he la one of tha best men we have
and I am glad to se him get It. Heaver ,
too. Is all right , and will make an excellent
official. "
When the new commissioners take their
fieifg the political complexion cf the board
will undergo a radical change. As
nt present constituted the board , In
cluding the mayor , consists of three
republicans , a democrat and a populist. The
Bticccsslon of Mr. Brown to Commissioner
Ilartman's place will continue cno democrat
on the board , but as Mr. Coburn's successor
is a populist that party will have the same
representation as the republicans. This mikes
the politics of the board equally divided , with
the lone democrat holding the balance of
power.
Few democrats are better known In Ne
braska than lion. Charles II. Brown. He
has been an active member of the party In
this state for thirty years. Ho Is one of
the fighting democrats , and hns had a hand
in every light In whlcSi his party has been
engaged for more than1 a quarter of a cen
tury. He Is n New Yorker. Ho graduated
from Williams college In 1S5S , studied law
ami was admitted to the New York bar In
I860. In that year he came to Omaha , and ,
to build up an Impaired constitution , took a
trip nrrofs the plains In the humble ca
pacity of mule driver. Ho was elected prose
cuting attorney for Douglas county In 1S62 ,
and In that capacity secured the > conviction
of Cyrus Taylor , the first man who was
legally hanged In Nebraska , lie served two
terms In the clllcc , and In 1SG1 was elected
n member of flic constitutional convention ,
iln tlin fall of ISftl he was elected to the
legislature ; In 1SC5-B6 ho was elected alder-
inun , and In 18B7 became mayor of Omaha ,
jirosidlnK over the city court , and tried over
4,000 cases during his term of olllce. In
1SC9 he received the full democratic vote for
United States senator ; ho was one of the
members of the convention which framed the
present constitution , and In 1876 was elected
to the state- senate , and ro-elected In 1S7S.
Ho Is an attorney of exceptional ability , and
lias a lucrative practice.
D. Clem Deaver Is 31 years of age. He
wai born In Perry county , Ohio. His parents
In 1KK7 moved to Carroll county , Missouri.
In 1883 Mr. Deavor went to Jefferson county ,
NtbraEka , where he farmed until 1887 , wlier
ho 'came to Omaha and lock a course In a
business college , graduating with the high
est percentage. Ho then -became bookkeeper
for Mrs. Leo and Rebert. a position which he
BtU holds. He Joined Hie Knights of Labor
In. 1SS9 , and has been prominently Identified
with labor Interests ever since. Ho was
chairman of the Central Labor union law
committee almost llirfo ycais. He Is also a
member of the American Federation o ;
Labor , and was for one term president of the
Nebraska Federation of l ihor. Last fall he
was the populist candidate for congress from
this district , but was ' defeated by Dave Mer
cer , republican. " ' '

Pretty girls , a wealth of balloon sleeves
Bayly bedecked mandolins , guitars am
banjos , en Illuminated mandolin hanging li
front of the Mrst sky border , and dcllghtfu
music were the
predominating features o
the concert given by the Sutorlus Mandollr
orchestra and the Imperial Banjo and Gultai
club last evening at Boyd's.
The house was crowded by the friends o
the players , and the second concert of thesi
Clubs was a much greater artistic succes :
than that which characterized the prcmlen
of this organization of strings. The pro
gram was stronger from a musical stand
point , and there was a noticeable Improve
inont on the part of the performers not onh
Inf attack , but In technique as well.
Two numbers were Included In the over
Jure , and so well were they played that thi
orchestra had to respond to an encore. "Tin
Jolly Fellows' March , " with a whistling ac
companlment , that qtilto caught the house
Assisting the local players were Mrs. Nan
nlo Hands Kronberg. the well known so
prano , and Mr. L , IJronberg , the favorit
baritone of Kansas City. Mrs. Kronberg
sang with entire credit to herself the bl |
aria from thu "Queen of Sheba , " ghowlni
a richly cultivated voice , which she placci
/vlth fine effect , her upper tones being o
liquid freshness. For an encore she. sang
a dainty composition by Mattai , "Sprliii
Revealed. "
Mr. Kronberg gave the aria fron
"Travlata" with good dramatic effect , hi
voice showing decided Improvement slue
he. was last heard
In Omaha , several year
ago. Both fclngers were well received , am
in the duo "Hark to the Mandolin , " hi
Parker , their voices blended splendidly
meriting the encore which they received
The banjo club played with thorough appre
elation of Its possibilities a sprightly marcl
called "Left Wheel , " by Odell , the string
bolng well together.
One of the surprises nf the evening wa
furnished by Muster Aaron Lyman , whos
playing of the mandolin was artistic to
degree. Ths young man displayed a re
markablc technique , and his solo , that won

FEDERAL COURT BEGINS WOHK.
In the TlmrMoii < Dimly Cnso Klxty-I-'lve

In the federal court yesterday ihe grand Jury
was empaneled and C. H. Morrlll of Lincoln
chosen foreman. The jury at once went Into
session In room 4 , and took up several crlm
ual cases.
Judges Dundy and Rlncr called the law
docket. In the Injunction case of the Flour-
loy Land company , Attorney Ilrecklnrldge se
cured defaults agaiust sixty-five defendants
who did not put In an appearance.
The foreclosure case of the Farmers' Loan
and Trust company of New York against the
American Water Works company of New Jer
sey was called. Attorney Offut In behalf of
E. H. Rust desired to get Into the case by a
cross bill , but Judge Dundy overruled the
moflon and declared Intervention at this time
as not deserving of consideration. Hearing
of the original case was' then resume ! , ant
two hours given to each side for arguments
C. A. Crane. S. C. Halncs and Frank Kast-

by means of the Mutual Reserve Tontine
Bond company , arrived from Chicago yester
day in custody of Deputies Donnelly and
Curran. They were surrendered to United
States Marshal White , and their case will
be heard at this term of court.
An Kxprrt Opinion.
Hon. Charles A. Plllsbury , the great flour
maker , attests the value of water power
canals In a recent letter to nn Inquirer ai
Hamilton , III. Mr. Plllbury says :
There is nothing that will so help to de
velop nny place as much as improvement
In water power. Water power companies
can furnish power for very much less than
steam. At Minneapolis water power Is be
ing furnlshx ] for about one-half what It
would cost for steam. The reason that Mln-
neaiKjlls mills usa steam at all Is because
our manufacturing capacity has luon de-
velo | > ed away beyond the capacity of our
water supply during the winter season
when we have very low water. We pel
power here now at about $25 per horse
power , with the privilege of using same six
teen hours per day. when there Is no sur
plus of water In the river , and twenty-four
hours per day when there Is a surplus. We
never llgure that we can get our powei
by steam for less than ? rx > per horse power
I cannot Imagine how any one would oppose
the development of water power , for there
Is nothing that so helps build up a place
as manufacturing , and most kinds of man
ufacturers will go where they can get their
power the cheapest , as that Is a very 1m
jwrtant element In the cost of manufactur
ing. "

That Is what tlio hollyhocks from Pcorla
1IJ to your Uncle David's band out at Uio
liarlea Street park yesterday afternoon. .
It was a shame , ' ) U < - can't be helped ; so
et > brace up and at 'em again tills afternoon
lut as If nothing hail happened.
In the early stages of the game- the Omahas
bought they had a snap , anil there was an
abandon about them that was refreshing to
) chold. On the other hand , the Guzzlers had
lot yet recovered from the cataleptic fits they
caught down nt Lincoln , anil they were quiet
and subdued. Still there was a wicked look
n their eyes that boded somebody no good.
It wns Uncle IJave's cherubs.
They received a most humiliating threshing ,
and that , too , when everything looked as
easy as eating soup.
Out let that pass. Uncle will make a rally
one of these fine days ; then stand from under.
Notwithstanding the defeat , the game was
jy long olds the prettiest that has been
ilayed at the Charles Street park this season ,
and hail It not been for Slaglu's egregious
nuff of Thomas's easy lly In the third Uug-
dalc's Guzzlers would have had but one little
> early tally to nurse to their manly bosoms.
Six runs were hammered In after this Inex
cusable piece of work. licforo that Eagan
lad been pitching In masterly style , but that
too much for Ills tender young heart , and
lor the balance of the Inning he was what Is
known In the classics an a pud. Ho braced
up , though , after this fatal Inning and held
the I'eorlas down to four hits.
While the pitching of Eagan was good , that
of Thomas was gilt-edged. Ho only allowed
Uncle's brawny heroes flve hits , scattered
through as many Innings , and one of three
was a rank scratch.
Ouls'do ' of the two twlrlers there was no
one whn Is entitled to any special mention ,
unless It Is Collins. Ho made a home run
with bases lull.
Quito a trick , eh ?
Hut nobody wants to know how the runa
wera made. There was not a single one
earned , and It would only be a waste of space
to enter Into a description.
Hero are the figures ; let them suffice for
what Is missed In the above :

GOLD SYNDICATE DENIED
Smelter Men and Troarmry Officials Hold
Adveraa Views on the Question.
BULLION IS SOLD IN THE OPEN MARKET

nif ntit Concerning ttin Ntrnngti Humor *
Some Curious Incidents Coiimriilng
the Morgati'llnlmunt lloiuls.
DHNVEtl , May 7. The rumor that a syn
dicate Is buying up gold In Coloado Is dented
by smelter men. "Tho report Is erroneous , "
said ex-Governor Grant of Ihe Omaha &
Grant smelter. "We are shipping our bullion
to New York and have been doing so tor a
month or more , as we get G5 cents per 1,009
premium on gold bars In the New York mar
ket. "
The low express rates are pointed out as
one of the agencies that has caused the re
ceipts of the Denver mint to fall oft 50 per
cent within the laet sixty days. A well In
formed express agent estimated yesterday
that 85 per cent of the silver produced In
Colorado Is going to San Francisco on account
of the demand occasioned by the war between
China and Japan. The San Francisco quota
tions have ruled U to % of .1 unit moro than
New York quotations for three or four months
past. The express rates have been practically
cut In two by the hard times and close com-
IxMklon In business. One express company
In eight days recently shipped $220,000 In
bars out of Denver. The shipment all came
from ono smelter.
A special to the Rocky Mountain News from
Washington , however , says that the treasury
authorities admit that the receipts of gold nt
the mints have sensibly diminished ever silica
the contract for the purchase of gold bonds
was awarded to the Ilclmont-Morgan syndi
cate , and adds : "Another feature lies In the
fact that the production of gold In th ? United
States has lately Increased to such an extent
as to make It an object for this foreign syn
dicate to corner or control the gold market ,
and Inasmuch as the Ilelmont-Morgan syndi
cate obtained not only the privilege of pur
chasing these bonds at a very low figure , but
a monopoly of all bonds to be Issued between
now and next October at the sjmp rate , It is
clear that from the high pries they obtain on
the sale of the bonds abroad they can afford
to pay a premium rale for gold bullion over
and above the rate fixed at the mints. In
this r.-ay the syndicate obtained practically
a monopoly of the gold product of the United
StaU-s and especially the product In Colorado ,
where the Increase In gold production has
b-en so large within the last year or two.
The treasury seems to be entirely In the
handj of the syndicate. It must have gold
to maintain the reserve , even If It practically
cripples the purchasing oper.itions of the
mint. The syndicate would much prefer to
have the gold In the shape of bullion than In
coin , to the end that it can be shipped abroad
If necessary without loss from abrasion , as
frequently happens to gold coin exported from
or Imported Into the United States. "
PAYING A PREMIUM FOR GOLD.
CHICAGO , May 7. A special to the Post
from Washington says : The discovery Is
made that there Is an actual basis for the
report that the Morgan-Rothschild syndicate
Is conspiring to corner the gold market ,
though the story has been regarded ns a
foolish canard. It Is a fact , however , that
brokers representing this syndicate have been
paying a premium for the refined gold of the
private rcllnerles for the last two months
and they are accumulating fine gold at th
rate of $2,400,000 to $3,000.000 per month ,
which represents fully two-thirds of the en
tire gold output of the United States. The
attention of officials of the treasury was at
tracted to this business by the sharp falling
off in the deposits of gold at- the mints and
Inquiry soon developed that private parties
were buying the products of the refineries.
Further Inquiries revealed that the metal was
purchased and was drifting to New York ,
where It Is bing put In store to the credit
of the Morgan-Rothschild syndicate.
In order to divert the stream from Its
usual channels leading to United States mints ,
the private purchasers have been obliged to
pay a premium of 1 % to 1VS csnts. The
premium paid for most ot the gold was 1 %
cents , but so anxious have been the buyers
to Increase their lines and get everything in
sight that they have marked up their quota
tions during the last few days. At the pres
ent time they ure getting practically the
entlro Unlcd States product , except that of
the western coast.
Many long headed men In Washington and
Wall street who ore familiar with the
methods of the parties of the syndicate have
Jumped to the conclusion that the foundation
Is being laid for another bond deal before
congress meets again. The last bond deal of
$52,000.000 has been pretty well closed out ,
over $01,000,000 In gold having been paid out
of the $01,000,000 , and It Is believed gener
ally that the entire deal will be cleaned up
before the 1st day of August. Under the
terms of the contract the London Morgan-
Rothschild syndicate has an option on any
new bonds that may bo Issued by the gov
ernment prior to October 1 next.
SYNDICATE HAS THR 1'OWIJR.
The treasury U absolutely In their hands
until that date. If. from natural causes , or
through chicanery and manipulation , the ad
ministration Is obliged to Issue another batch
of bonds to maintain the gold reserve the
sale must bo made to the syndicate thui took
the last Issue. There Is no escape from such
action , It was nominated specifically In the
contract , signed by direction of the president.
The clause In which the syndicate agrees to
maintain the treasury reserve leaves the syn
dicate to bo the Judge as to what It can do
In the premises or wjiat methods It shall
adopt. If , In the carrying out of that moral
obligation , the syndicate bhall decide that llio
government must Issue another $100.000.000
or $50,000,000 In bonds , the admlnlsttutlr > n
will have nothing to do but comply with the
Ifmis. If the president does not want to Issue
any more bonls at the dictation of the syndi
cate the reserve can bo practically \\iped out
In ten days , and then If he should proceed In
self-protection to put out more bonds hi > must
sell them to the Morgan-Rothschlli people , and
nobody else.
The new bonds are selling today Ir. open
market at $1.21. They cost the syndicate
$1.04 ! , which would show a profit of 17
points In the operation , amounting In all to
$10,510,000. It would not bo fair to say the
syndicate made that much out of the opera
tion , but It Is very safe to estimate Its profit *
at $8,000,000. The syndicate Is hurrying thn
completion of Its present bond ilonl with the
government. It deposited over $1,000,000 to
day , which will bring the reserve up to very
nearly $93,000,000. It will not have to com
plete these payments until the 1st of August ,
but the operation may be cloed up within a
few weeks. That will leave the yridicate a
free field.

KlH'i'tly i-nro fur rheumatism. I address
.you in tlio lnit | ) < that you will Ktvipub -
c-ily to my claim. 1 am well invaro
Hint lu innkiiiK Hit- bold assort ton that
I have dlsoovorwl a positive euro for
rheumatism there will arlso a stroiiK
doubt lu the mimis Of the public as to
the truth of this statement , ami that a
Inrtfe majority of ( ho people will olass
( Ills now discovery with the Koch
lymph lallure and the llrowu-Seiiunril
elixir of llfo delusion.
It is to overcome this prejudice Hint
I Invoke the aid nf the press. I court
Ihe fullest ] .Investigation under your
direct and personal supervision. I
would MijiKost that the fairest and
surest way to test the ollleacy of this
remedy would ho for this company to
send 10.0IX ) trial hollies to Hie World-
Herald olllco , there to bo j lvoii out
absolutely free to all persons mulcted
with rhonmalNm ; that the name and
address of each person who aceopts the
remedy bo entered In a book , and at
the end of ono wool ; a reporter be de
tailed to Interview such parties who
have taken the medicine as are will
ing to testify to the merits or demerits
of the same , and the result In each
case to bo published In the press , lly
this moans there can be no deception
or fraud , and the value of the remedy
will stand or fall upon ( lie testimony
of those who have tried It.
Improbable as this statement may
seem to you or to those who have doc-
toiod for years with the most skilled
physicians without benefit , yet 1 alllrm
and am prepared to prove by over 100-
000 people whom we have cured that
tills remedy will cure acute or muscu
lar rheumatism in from one to live
days. It never falls to cure sharp ,
shooting pains in thu arms , logs , sides ,
back or breast , or sorenesa In any part
of the body. It Is Kiiaranteed to
promptly euro lameness , sciatica , lum
bago , stia' and swollen Joints ,
stilt back and all pains lu the
hip and loins. It seldom falls to give
relief after ono or two doses , and al
most invariably cures before ono bottlu
has been used.
\Vo do not claim Hint this remedy
will euro rheumatism where the limbs
are twisted out of shape , or where thu
disease is complicated by a scrofulous
diathesis , but by a careful record we
llnd that this remedy fails to cure In
only about n per cent of the cased lu
which it Ims been tried.
One of the strongest recommenda
tions for tills remedy Is that It is ab
solutely harmless , and that a person
can take the whole contents of a bottle
without the slightest ill effects. Tiiliko
the medicine used in ordinary practice
for the cure of rheumatism , such as
Iodide of potasli and salicylic acJd ,
which Irritate the stomach and kidneys
and disorganize the general system
without effecting a cure , this remedy
acts as n strong tonic , and is Invahmhln
in building up weak and debilitated
people.
Hollering that there is no cause so
holy and Inspiring , no vocation so lofty
and ennobling , nothing so sure of
man's gratitude and ( Sod's blessing as
an honest effort to relieve suffering hu
manity , 1 beg to remains , yours truly ,
