Fisher A. Ilaker, attorney for tho First
National bank, saM tonight:
"Wo havo located about $200,000 worth
of securities and real eslato In Alvord'
namo and shall attach It Immediately. 1
think this will bring the Ions of tho bant:
down to close to $500,000. Wc aro trylni;

Alvonl I.lvnt In .Style. .
Preoldent Ilaker said: "We wero greatly
surprised at this defalcation! for, of rourso,
wo had tho greatest confidence. In Alvord.
Ho had born with us twenty years and wc
regarded him as absolutely trustworthy.
We know that ho lived part of tho time
nt Saratoga last summer, but did not know
then of lils gambling or his c.itruvapant
wny of living bad attracted attention
thore.
"Wo understood he had made money and
understood ho was ablo to live In style.
What his salary was I do not care to say,
but It was ample to afford him tho luxuries
of life. I shall add nothing to tho state
ment Mr. Hlno has given out."
An olllclal connected with tho bank who
did not wish his natno used said: "A proof
that tho bank Is not likely to suffer by tho
defalcation Is that Its profits for tho. year
ending last September 1 were $1,350,600.
The surplus Is Increasing fast. Tho par
valuo of tho stock Is $100 a share, but it
has brought as high as $1,923, at auction.
Tho book valuo of tta stock Is $3,105 per
share, and as high as $3,600 has been bid.
Tho percentage of Increase to capital, ac
cording to Its last year's earnings, la 270.12
per cent, s ( r
"It has for several' years paid annual
dividends cf 100 por.cent. Only one other
bank In this city declared a dividend ag
gregating 150 per cent. Tho First National
bank holds In stocks, bonds and other se
curities, according to Its latest report,
$24,073,910."
Alroril K no it 11 to Bookmaker.
Ilookmakcrs tonight tnlkcd of, nothing
else but tho story of tho defalcation of the
noto tellor of tho First National bank.
Everr bookmaker nt the Saratoga race
track know him. For them his nod was
sufficient for n bot of thousands and never
luring tho season did thoy havo to wait
for tho collection of .his wagers.
Alvord's great build mado him a
marked llguro on the race trade and nt
the Saratoga club. Though Dick Canfleld
says ho never saw him and does not know
him, many men who played rouletto or
faro remembered Alvord as tho man who
bought $500 stacks and played to tho limit
and almost Invariably lost without tho
alllghteat show of emotion.
"Ho always bot the cash,'" said Sam
Frank, a Saratoga bookmakor. "So, I never
knew much about hlra. I nover paid him
a bet, for ho novor won one. Ho was tho
best loser I over saw and would come
around chipper tho next day and bet mo

wanted, but he nover bet mo worn than
$100 ou a raco and always handed out the

He did not seem to caro for women and
I don't think I over saw him with one. Ho
had several friends In Saratoga and drove
them about tho vlllago and down to tho

"Ha had no hesitation In betting from
$500 to $1,500 ou a raco and his nod waB

ItCTcnlfil In Court. 1
MILWAUKEE, VhT.Oct. 23. Tho -niyj-tery
surrcundlng tho manner In which tins
outside brokers and Commission mm wero
nblo to secure quotations of the Chicago
Hoard of Trado from August 1 to October
10, was dispelled todny when the testlmoncy
of Chicago electricians nnd telegraph opera
tors was fllfd In tho United States court.
The secret was revealed by Oscar M. Stono
In an examination conducted before Com
missioner Harper In Chicago.
In brief, It Is to tho effect that tho
quotations were secured by n system of
mrssongers who went to various blackboards
and tickers and got tho quotations. Then
thoy hurried to a convenient telophono or
else to a placo whero signalling could be
dono. Then un operator In a room opposite
a La-Salla street broker's ofllce, with tho
aid of a field glass, road off tho quotations
ns fast as they wero posted to an operator
presiding nt a telegraph Instrument. In
this way the Chicago nnd outsldo cltlos
wero furnished tho quotations.
Tho telegraph Hues used In Chicago wero
old nbandoned wires that wero not used by
tho telephone company. Mr. Stono bad
three telephones In his offices and they wero
In ueo almost constantly during business
hours, and six men wero employed to get
tho quotations. One man would got one
option ou wheat nnd another man would
securo another option. Tho men wero given
a list of offices where blackboards wero
posted, but wero cautioned not' (6 go to
tho open board of' trade. 1
Mr. Stono refused to reveal his system
of Blgnnls. They were tho product df his
brain, bo said, nnd valuable. Tho signals
wero worked by men In tho, alleys by a
combination of the points of tho compass.
Tho system did not work well on fractions.
Georgo F. Hoyt corroborated the statements
of Mr. Stono concerning the telephones and
signals. Stono ceased operations on October
10, the date of tho Ipjunctlon.

Tho big tent at tho corner of Capitol ave
nue and Fifteenth street was the scene of
another big republican rally laot night, the
occasion being nn address by General Dan
lei E. Sickles under the auspices of the
Union Veteran league. Tho scats were all
occupied except a fow of the outer rows nt
either end.
Just prior to the hour of the opening of
tho meeting the Union Veteran league came
marching down to tho tent to tho martial
sralns of a half dozen fifes nnd tho, thunder
of ns many drums; over 100 strong'. Form
Ing In lines nlong each side of the central
aisles It constituted Itself n guard of honor.
Down through tho ranks of grizzled veter
ans soon ufterwurds passed tho one-legged
guest of honor to the stoge, amidst tho
warm greetings of his old comrades ami the
enthusiastic cheers of the swelling crowd.
Ho was escorted by n committee led by
Mayor Moores, Hon. C. J. Greene, Hon. (
H. Dietrich, County Clefk Haverly. .1. N.
Wcstberg, W. W. Hlngham, Hdwnrd Rose
water, Captain H. E. Fulmer and many
other prominent republicans. Judge Strnwn
also accompanied him ns commander of
tho veterans, who presided nt the meeting.
Tho Rough Rider quarlot of York put the
audlcnco In proper tone by n topical song,
each verso concluding with tho melodious
atsurance thnt "When the votes are
counted Nebraska will bo in line."
In presenting (loueral Stckjea Judge
Strawn paid a trlbuto to his valor In the
field and his continued efforts ever since
to pcrpctuato tho lessons then inculcated.
General Sickles spoko sitting, with his left
arm thrust through his crutches, As n
Justification for coming to Rryan's state
to speak ho dwelt upon tho breadth and
vital importanco of tho Ibsucs Involved to
tho entlro nation qnd ho enmo to speak to
Americans rather than Nebraskans. He
canio to speak to republicans and demo
crats. Ho had always been n democrat, ex
cept In 1861 nnd 1S96. Ho need not apolo
glzo for his action In 1S06. In that yenr the
democrats had no candidate. It has none
now, but ono harrowed from the populists.
Ilrynn nn n .Monopoly.
One reason why I am opposed to Mr.
Hrynn la hccaiixa ho Is n. monopolist. Not
withstanding hla pronounced opposition to
tho monopoly ho Is trying to monopolize the
nominations of all political parties. With
his two feet ho Is endeavoring to stand on
thrco platforms. If lie could havo secured
tho mlddlo-of-the-roiul nomination ho would
havo tried to stand on four. Hut tho middle-of-the-road
populists disclaim Hryati as
11 fustonlHt. The old-tlmo Jncksonlnn nnd
Jcffersonlun democrats cnimot claim him
becauso ho opposes cvorythlng thnt demo
crats want nnd advocates everything they
don't want. Tho speaker recalled how his
grandfather, as n. Jcffersoulan democrat,
extolled Jefferson for tho Louisiana pur
chase nnd his fnther, ns a, Jncksonlnn dem
ocrat, commended a similar course In that
democratic patriarch.
Mr, Hrynn is the llrst candldato whp eyer
claimed that the democratic party was op
posed to expansion. All other candidates
havo boon gifted with Itu uuccuKHful ud
vocney. Referring to Bryan's support of tho
treaty and his having favored tho war, tho
speaker luqulrcd what epithet could bo ap
plied to a man who docs a thing nnd then
sneaks out of It.
President McKlnlcy's magnanimity In
dealing- with Spain, whom this country
would havo booif Justified in1' stripping of
all her iiossesslons, 'was highly com
mended. Having driven them from the
American continent, tho president looked
out across to tho Phlllpplno Island nnd
said that thoso Islands are consecrated to
liberty and must remain under the Amerl
enn nag and so ho Instructed the peace com
mission to demand them.
A voice was heard: "How about tho
Stilus ?"
Tho speaker paid no heed to tho Inter
ruption, but a moment later, whon n
policeman was seen ushering tho man out,
Oencral Sickles said:
"O, don't mind that man. He don't
bother mo a bit. In a crowd so big ns
this you nro lucky It you havo only ono
fool."
General Sickles said that the dlfforence
between McKlnloy nnd IJryun Is that the
former accepts responsibility for his own
nets, whllo Dryan' docs not.
Referring to militarism, the speaker re
viewed tho careors of Washington, Jack
son, Lincoln and Grant, all of whom had
bcocn decried as dictators, but who at the,
end of their careers had retired to private
life and ncbody was hurt.
nut there was a tlmo when this country
was really threatened with mtllturlnm.
That wns when Hilly Dryan Joined tho
nrmy. Hut tho wur wus ended before
Hrynn lenrned to put on nnd tnko off Ills
uniform or to wulk without tripping over

to us, for If Urynn had evor got into a
battle and out of it with credit ive would
havo had a genulno militarist, lie would
havo moved upon tho White House and
taken possession and there ho would huve
rcmainea.
Ilua Never l'ouuht 11 Trust.
General Sickles denied that Bryan had
ever availed himself of his yoara of op
portunity to lift o hand to savo tho people
from tho trusts, about which ho now says
so much.
In one plank of his Kansas City platform
he rotors, to government by Injunction. I)y
that ho means that ho would deprive tho
courts of their ancient function ot re
straining tho commission of a wrongful
net. If that wero done, he would like Mr.
Dryan to tell how he would ever stop the
operations of a trust, as the Injunction Is
tho only means of stopping a trust.
What does Mr. nryan stand for? I nm
sorry to sny It here, among tho people of
hla own Btute, but It Is my duty to arraign
him as a public enemy, becauso thn whole
tenor nncf trend of all of Mr. Hryan's
Hpceches havo been to array class against
class, neighbor ugalnst ticluJibnr, employer
against employe, commoner against capi
talist and ono section ngulnst nuother, to
disseminate 111 feeling between us and our
Kngllsu cousIiih on tho other nldc of the
Atlantic, an lending 10 uiscoru, enmity,
hatred and destruction.
Tho epeaker said that all of tho great
statesmen 0 tho country had endeavored
to bring together the people ot tho various
sections ot the country and President Mc
Klnloy has dono more In that direction
than any president since 1861. If it were
not for the ruco question he would recclvo
tho electoral vote of moro than half of tho
southern states.
In terms of unmistakable earnestness
and with patriotic fidelity ho raeutloncd tbo
conditions that havo been brought about
under McKlnley's administration, tho sound
flnauolul policy, for the first tlmo In IU
history n creditor nntlon, tho balance ot
trado overwhelmingly In bur favor, with
tho nations of the old world coming to us
to borrow money not paper or flat money,
but gold, Under tho administration of
McKlnley wo have tho gold to lend them.
Under tho McKlnley administration thero
Is employment for tho laboring man at
better wages than ho over received before
and ho gets his pay In gold,
tiu Keuami to L'lmuuc
General Sickles ridiculed tho plea for the
election ot Rryan becauso ho can do no
harm, as his adversaries havo him muzzled.
Ho snld that thu peoplo aro endowed with
common sense and when they look around
them upon the prosperous and happy con
ditions prevailing, with all our Interests
guarded and our country commanding the
rrnnert nt iUn u-nt-1.1 Itirft pnn find no
reason why they should chango their ruler.
The American peoplo will do no sueh fool'
Ish thing. Hvcrywhero in the thousands
of miles ho had traveled hd had encount
ered n tidal wavo of sontlment that will
carry McKlnley back Into the Whlto House
by,n vote moro decisive than ever before
given n president.
General Sickles tnlkcd for some time on
New York, saying tint If Mr. llryan's sue-
au rtnndtl.ta n V.... Vrtrb lilta i1nfn.1l In
certain. Ho directed attention to the fact
that during his recent visit to .sew lorK
Ilryan had glorified Crokcr, which would
alienate the support of tho respectable
clement.
"Now, when you put Crokerlsm and
tlrynnlsm together," said General Sickles,
"and offer that fusion In ono cup, I don't
like to tell you tho number of thousands
by which thoy will reject the dose."
In closing, General Sickles spoko with
pathos and earnestness of his grfcat love
for the old soldiers, especially those who
had served under his Immediate command,
of whom he had met ninny In Omaha. Ho
declared that ho spake to them as hn knew
Grant, Sherman, Lincoln and tho other II
lustrlous old nseoclalcs would speak were
they now living, when ho said "Voto for
Comrado William McKlnley."
livery sentence of the general's speech
was n forrefijl one. and It was delivered
throughout with n qualntncus ot expression
nnd n vein of humor thnt won almost con
tinuous applause. There wero occasional
Interruptions, vhlch the speaker turned
neatly, to tho delight of tho audience, to
react upon tho disturbers.
Hon. C. J, Groeno fcllowed In nn address
nlong Intense republican lines, speaking
Instead of Hon. John C. Cowln, who wns
detained nt home by severe Illness,
A round of cheers for General Sickles
closed tho meeting, ono of the best of tho

SHOWED THE MINISTER
And Got Hlra In Line.
"In a minister's family In Los Angeles
where I was visiting some tlmo ago, the
wife complained of serious Indigestion
and dyspepsia. Sho admitted that she
used coffee nnd said sho more than half
believed that was the trouble I told her
that I know it wrb the trouble, for I
had gono through with tho experience my
self and had only been cured when I left
off coffee and took up Postum Food Coffee.
"Sho said sho had tried tho Postum, both
for herself and her husband, but they did
not like It. With her permission I mtdo
PoBtum noxt morning myself, and boiled
it full fifteen mluutes nfter the real boiling
of tho pot began. Then when It was serv
ed It was a rich, recp brown color, nnd
had the true flavor and food valuo that
every Postum maker knows. It la all folly
to talk ibout trying to make Postum with
ono or two minutes steeping.
"You can't get something good for noth
ing. It mast bo boiled, boiled, boiled, and
to keep it from boiling ovor, .use bmall lump
of butter, porhaps twlco tho bIzo of a pea.
That morning tho minister nnd his wife
liked Postum so well that tholr whole lives
wero changed on the question of diet and
they abandoned coffee at onco and for all
time.
"Now after a hard day's work, they aro
comforted, refreshed and rested by a cup
of well mado Postum for supper. They aro
both enthusiastic In Its nralse. Tho wife
has entirely recovered from hor dyspepsia,
I will not go Into tho dctnlls of my own
case, except to say that I was a desperato
sufferer with dyspepsia and discovered by
leaving oft coffee that roffco was tho cause
of It. I quickly got woU when I took up
Postum Food Colfee. I earnestly hopo
many moro coffee drinkers may get their
eyes open." Namo and address given by
