DES MOINES. Juno 21. ( Special Tele
gram. ) The labor organizations of the state
will demand a public Investigation of the
accounts of State Labor Commissioner
O'Uleness ao soon as ho Is able to appear and
make a defense. Not long ago a protect
\J from these organizations was filed with
the governor against any action on the part
of that ofilcer In removing O'Bleness from
ofilco until he was recovered sufficiently to
make a personal defense. Governor Shaw
Is still reticent upon the subject of O'Ble
ness' Illness and his accounts. Ho says ho
has made no accusations against O'Bleness
nnd has decided upon no course of action In
the matter. O'Uleness himself Is much bet
ter. Ho Is able to be about and , though
still at the hospital , occasionally goes for a
walk. He is still kept under observation ,
but to his friends appears perfectly rational.
Ho Is reported to have said that If given
thirty days to fully recover he will show
conclusively that the accounts of his olfico
are regular. Should an Investigation of the
accounts result In verifying the- rumored
Irregularities It Is likely that suit would be
brought to recover on the labor commls-
eloners' bond. James O. Berryhlll and J. D.
Whlsenand are his bondsmen.

Crops never looked better at this time of the

stands thickly on the ground. If this crop
does not become lodged wfoen ripe It will bo
a remarkably large one. Corn has grown
many Inches in the last few days. It was
backward , having 'been ' planted late or
washed out or rotted in the fields , requiring
replanting , but the hot days and warm rains
have urged It forward so that everything Is
favorable for a good corn harvest. A great
deal of flax was sown hero on new land and
It is looking very well Indeed. The alfalfa

A meeting of representative citizens was
held at the Exchange hall at the stock
yards yesterday afternoon for the purpose
of considering the matter of organizing a
country club and either purchasing or
leasing Seymour park and lake.
W. S , King was chosen chairman and J ,
B. Watklns secretary of the meeting. Mr.
King stated the object of the meeting briefly
and a general discussion followed. It was
asserted that Dr. Miller would -bo willing
to lease the lake and grounds to South
Omaha parties nt a nominal rental or would
sell the entire tract of 400 acres upon
suitable terms , with the privilege of fishing
and boating.
The Idea Is to form a corporation and
lease about 100 ncrcs of land adjoining the
lake shore , where some cottages or tents
could bo erected by those who were elected
to membership.
A blue print of the lake nnd grounds was
exhibited for the purpose of explaining
points which came up for discussion. The
scheme met with favor from those present
and It was the sense of the meeting that a
committee- appointed to formulate some
proposition and present It to Dr. Miller and
also ascertain Dr. Miller's views in the mat
ter. The Idea of purchasing the land was
not seriously considered and It Is more than
likely that the committee , composed of W.
B , Cheek , John Flynn , II. K. Tagg , J. B.
Watklns and W. S. King , will confine Its
proposition to the leasing- a strip of land
abutting on the lake. In case the plans
In mind go through , a club house will bo
erected and members will bo permitted to
lease from the corporation ono or more lots
for the erection of cottages. The fishing at
this lake Is first-class and a bathing beach
j could be constructed without a great deal
1 of expense. As the lake Is only- few miles
! from South Omaha the Idea Is being taken
hold of with considerable enthusiasm. An
other meeting will bo held next Friday
afternoon at the exchange.

trouble In which Jodelt was Injured oc
curred in the vicinity of the L street via
duct at an early hour Saturday morning.
Thost , arrested for having a hand In the
assault nro Harry iHulsman , Jack Broder-
ick , Ed Douney , Frank Corcoran , William
Burke. These men are being held on a
charge with assault with Intent to do great
bodily injury.
According to the Information of the po
lice this gang started a rumpus nt Terry's
saloon near the Klrby house nnd caused
such a disturbance that It became neces
sary to put out the lights and send for the
police. Three officers responded to the call ,
but found that the gang had scattered. Jo
delt , who had been patrolling a beat In the
Fourth ward , was on his way to police
headquarters when he met the gang on the
viaduct. He was assaulted without delay ,
ono of the gang knocking him down with
a pleco of pavingstone. . Jodelt attempted
to draw his revolver , but was knocked down
four times In rapid succession , each blow
drawing blood. The assault was brutal and
uncalled for , as the ofilcer had not at
tempted to place any of the gung under ar
rest , not knowing that they were wanted.
Word of the assault was telephoned to the
headquarters and several men were sent
over. By hard work the entire gang was
placed behind the bars. Once Inside the Jail
trouble commenced , as the gang destroyed
some of the interior finishings , besides
tearing out the electric lights. An addi
tional charge of malicious destruction of
property will bo lodged against thorn.

Yeeterday Postmaster Etter received au
thority to make three changes in the clerks'
roster. Miss Nettle E. Harrington , who has
been rated as a stamper , will hereafter bo
known as general delivery clerk , the In
crease In salary being $100 per annum. P.
J. Qulnn , distributor , Is to remain In the
same position , but his compensation is In
creased from $600 to $700 per year. Miss
Myrtle Keefer , the stamp clerk. Is desig
nated in the new orders as registry clerk
with an Increase In pay from $500 'to $600
a year. The communication authorizing
these changes closes by- stating that no
further changes or Increases in the clerical
force of the office- will bo allowed during
the fiscal year.
This order Is quite a disappointment to
Postmaster Ettor , who had hoped for nt
least one more letter carrier In addition to
the borso route which will bo put on July
1. Another carrier to help out In the resi
dence district and another clerk are badly
needed , but from the tone of the letter the
present force will not be increased any
astdo from the additional mounted carrier
appointed some tlmo ago.
These changes in the roster practically
leaves the office without a stamp clerk ,
owing to the appointing of Miss Keefer as
registry clerk. The department , however ,
allows the postmaster the right to assign
the clerks to positions where they can beef
of the most service , and it Is more than
likely that Miss Keefer can handle the reg
istry business and the stamp sales without
Inconvenience of any sort.

The attention of Councilman Tralnor has
been called to the fact that a gang of boys
make a practice of playing ball on a vacant
lot at Twenty-ninth and n streets. This
vacant lot is close to the Lutheran church
and St. Clements' mission , and in the last
few days a number of windows in tbuae
churches have been broken. Mr , Tralnor
has requested the chief of police to Investi
gate and to prohibit ball playing on the
lots mentioned in order to stop further
damage to the churches.

Oh , yes ; you see Nicoll's prices
all around town ; but there's a de
cided difference in the morning
when Nicoll's name is there to
back them up.
The price alone has no signi
fication.
It's necessary to compare the
quality of- the material , the trim
mings , the workmanship , the style ,
the fitting. ,
You'd hardly think it ! But
the fact is , that there is a good
deal more on the inside , than on
the outside of a coat.
It is customary before ordering garments to feel of the cloth in a
knowing way in order to judge of its quality. That's all right ! Some
clothes are better in texture than others in finish in wearing
quality and durability of dyes.
But the cost of that cloth however good is less than the cost
of labor and linings. It is in what is called the Tailoring that the
real quality of a garment lies ; the sewing of the seams ; the stays ; the
pocket points ; the shaping ; the finishing.
These are the points that add cost , and give quality to properly
made garments and they are the particulars of which the average
buyer knows least.
If you understood all these matters as well as it is our business
to know them you would appreciate more fully , why garments made
by Nicoll The Tailor are far superior to the ordinary made-to-order
garments.
