In the Matter.
1 Charles M. 'Williams , cashier of the First
National bank of Fremont , Is assigned to play
qulto a sensational part In a suit which hao
fcecn Instituted against him In die federal
court by Homer B. Qalpln of Chicago , as
administrator of the estate of Lucle W.
Hltt. In connection therewith the com
plaint that has been filed * ots up a story
which reads something like the plots that
re ordinarily discovered only within the
realms of yellow-back literature.
Luclo W. Hltt waa a Chlcagcan , and Just
teforo her death she was possessed of prop
erty which was estimated at Its lowest val
uation ot $60,000. On February 25 , 1897 , she
jnado a will. She was then childless and In
the document stated that If she died without
Issue all her property should go to her hus
band. She made another provision , however ,
to the effect that In case a child was born
one-third of the estate only tuould
lie her husband's and the remaining two-
thirds were to be the child's , to be held In
trust until he or she reached the age of 25 ,
The child's property was to bo Invested and
the Income as far as needed was to be spent
tor HB maintenance and education , the re
mainder to be added to the principal.
On April 22 , 1897 , a child was born to the
woman , and bafore she left her bed tfce died ,
Her husband was appointed by her will at
executor of her estate and Immediately
fter her death filed a bond and entered
upon his duties. Ho remained In the office
until February 1C , of this year , when he
was removed from It on charges of misman
agement and Homer B. Galpln was appointed
administrator of the estate. As soon as he
entered upon the duties of this pooltlon he
discovered and brought to light the circum
stances In the case which read llko fiction
According to the allegations of the lego !
document Hltt had no booner assumed his
position as executor of the estate , than ht
proceeded to squander It in riotous llvln ?
and extravagance. Without waiting for tin
catato to bo settled , ho proceeded to dlapost
cf the property. The proceeds ho spent lr
dissipation and In wild purchases of Jewelry
When ho was finally brought to a stop II
. was found that iully $50,000 ot the estate
had been squandered. Proceedings were
brought against him , but ho fled from th <
ctatc.
ctatc.PROPERTY IN NEBRASKA.
In the property left by Mrs. Hltt was eomi
$15,000 worth of notea , securities and rea
estate located In Fremont. It Is said tha
this portion of the property was In chargi
of Charles M. Wllllama , cashier of the Firs
National bank of Fremont , as agent. Wll
Hams la a cousin of the deceased woman
Ho Is arraigned In the action for his con
duct In connection with this property.
The complaint alleges that Williams knev
full well the contents of the woman's will
In splto of this and also the fact that hi
knew that Witt had no right to dispose o
any portion of the estate , It is alleged tha
ho entcted Into the pretended written con
tract with Hltt , whereby ho purchased th <
$15,000 of escurltles and real estate In hi :
possession for $3,000. This transaction ii
* ald to have tafcen place on December IE
1897. Williams claims to have paid Hltt i
portion of the purchase money and on tlv
etrength of that Is trying to'get legal pos
cession ot tle ? part of the estate.
The action In the federal court is brougb
to prevent thto. Itte eet out that William
know the contract with Hltt was vold om
that , therefore , he can not stand on It , evei
it bo pajd over to Hltt a portion of the pretended
tended purchase money. It Is sought , there
fore , to eccuro from Williams the securitlei

The city lost another case In the federal
court wherein tbo validity of the tax as
sessments for filling In private property In
McCormlck's addition about Twenty-ninth
and. Ilnrney streets Is Involved. The
plaintiffs attacked the aracssmcnts on the
grounds that their property had not been
described In the publication of notlcefl. Upon
this ground the court decided against the
city In the ease of Emily Snow. The as
sessment against her property was In the
neighborhood of $2,200. In the case of the
plaintiff , McCormlck , however , the court
decided that It had no jurisdiction , as the
amount of the scsessmcnt did not reach
$2,000. Judge Munger decided that In such
cases two or more plaintiffs could not com
bine In order to make the amount at suit
equal to $2,000 , even though the Issues were
Identical ,

"Lumber and Iron Interests never were In
a better condition than they are now , " said
W. E. Hams of St. Louis. "Much ot this
activity Is duo to the large amount of car
building which Is going on. The Pullman
works alone are turning out fifty-five com
plete cars every day and other car bulldera
are equally busy. I was at the St. Charles
car workd recently and they are working
twenty-two hours a day and cannot keep
up with their orders. Mississippi , Alabama
and In fact all southern sawmills are feelIng -
Ing the effect of this prosperity , which hna
forced the railroads to Increase their facil
ities. Another factor In causing the demand
for southern lumber Is tbo , largo quantity of
toga which arc shipped to South Africa.
That part of Africa 1:4 : without timber and
many of the props used In the mines are
shipped from the United States. The rains
como all In one season in South Africa and
It is neccasary for them to dam the streams
, In order to secure sufficient water the year
| round for gold washing and Irrigation pur-
pceos. As the country Is devoid of atone
nd timber largo logs are Imported from the
Jnltcd States and dams are made of these.
Such long logs ore required that the prlco
> ald for them Is enormous. I have seen
uch logs that were so long that three earn
were uscJ to load them on. The develop
ment of Iron Interests In the United States
las been something marvelous. Last year
3,400,000 tons of Iron were produced , which
a 3,400,000 tons dn excess of the production
ot any other year. Much of this Iron was
made Into machinery , rails , tools and other
manufactured products and shipped to all
> arts of the world. Thirty years ago Eng-
anj supplied us with all our rails and
much of all kinds of Iron goods. Today
he chief subject which Is discussed in the
2ngllsh Iron papers Is how io meet Atner-
can competition. Every year the amount
ot steel rails wo ship to England Is steadily
ncreaslng. Our last encroachment upon
Sngll h exports Is our flourishing tin plato
trade. Almost all the tin plato used In
America Is homo manufactured and Italy
and other countries are securing their tin
Mate from the United States. In splto of
ho low wages paid to European laborcra
our products are forcing- their way Into the
markets of England , Germany and Russia ,
A great deal ot , the steel and other Iron
products used upon the Tronslberlan rail
road Is being shipped from the United
States. "

SCHOOL BOARD'S KICK.
The last document considered was a vigor
ous protest from the Board of Education
against the proposed location , of the city
jail bi the Immediate vicinity of the Dodge
school. This was referred to the committee
on fire , water and police , and ao Informal
discussion of the matter followed. President
Blngham said he was In favor ot bearing
a proposition from the board to sell the
city the Dodge school building , even at this
late day. Stuht thought that an arrange
ment might be reached.
Loteck took the other tack. He declared
that the council had been advertising for
propositions for a jail location all winter
and the board had never come to the front
with a proposal until the council had tacitly
agreed to accept another proposition. He
was not in favor ot changing tactics at this
time.
President Jordan of the Board of Educa
tion suggested that If the council would ap
point a committee to confer with the board
an agreement might be reached , rnd Stuht ,
Karr and Mount were designated as the
committee.

provided.ABOUT
ABOUT THE HOO-HOOS.
As Omaha is to have a concatenation of the
Hoo-Hoos It may be of Interest to know
about the history of this organization. The
Concatenated Order of Hoo-Hoo was organ
ized at Gurdon , Ark. , in January , 1892. Sev
eral lumbermen and publishers of lumber
papers were waylaid In Ourdou by a railway
accident , and at this time they planned the
Hoo-Hoo lodge. It was originally Intended
to bo an organization for men who were
prominent In the lumber Industry , but thia
plan was changed and men who are engaged
In any business which Is eclated to the lum
ber Industry are eligible. Railroad men ,
newspaper men , men engaged in the manu
facture of milling machinery , and In. fact
men engaged In almost all lines of business
now make up the membership of the order.
The order ha * been misunderstood1 In many
places and has been , treated as a Joke be
cause of the black cat which constitutes Its
official emblem , and the order's custom of
having Its annual meetings on the ninth day
of the ninth month at ntae minutes past 9
o'clock In the morning. Of course all the
nkiea come from the cat's traditional nine
lives. Aside from the feline features , the
order has a very definite purpose. It was
established to promote acquaintance and fel
lowship among the men who are engaged In
these allied Industries. Through this order
the members are enabled to bo of great as
sistance to each other In a great many ways.
Although the founders did not expect the
membership to exceed fifty or sixty , It Is
now 6,000 , and the membership extends to
Japan and many other foreign countries.
BLACK CAT'S CONNECTION.
The black cat wa.i taken from Foe's famous
story "The Black Cat , " which was read at
the first meeting. Tno lights were turned
low and this story was used In the absence
of any set ritual or order of proceedings.
Ever since that time this cat has appeared
upon the badge of the order end baa been ,
much in evidence at all the meetings. The
next annual meeting of the Hoo-Hoo will
be at Put-In Bay , near Toledo. Frank Col-
petzcT of Omaha Is vicegerent snark , the
chief officer of the order In Nebraska.
NCTTH for the Wheelmen.

startling diminution , the maximum of health

This ia to let you know that after today our best black
shoes will be only three dollars and a half. This means
our best patent leather , best Vici kid , best Titan calf ,
best Cordovan and best American calf. They are the
same shoes that you can go into any shoo store mostly
and buy for 4.50 or 5.00 , except a few places where they
manage to get six dollars for them , though how they can
possibly do it is more than we can find out. Wo have
never been able to sell them for less than four dollars
until now. We wouldn't be able to do it now except
that we made new contracts with the factories and by
doubling our last year's orders we get enough off the
price wo formerly paid so that we can sell them to you
for 3.50 from now on. We want to say that these shoes
are made specially to our order , they carry our name , and
there are no better made or better finished shoes at any
price. With every pair we give our guarantee of satis
factory service which means that you get a new pair if
for any reason they do not wear as they should. That
same guarantee holds good on any kind of a shoe you
buy at The Nebraska , and if you don't wish to goas high
as 3.50 for our best , you will find some at 3.00 and 2.50
that are just as good as somebody else's best. We wish
you'd put that statement to the test.
