Ooorgo L. Dobson, secretary of the state
c( Iowa nod president of the Notional Lite
and Trust company of Des Moines, In which
Governor Shaw and many other Iowa state
ofllclala aro Interested, camo to Omaha the
other day for tho express purposo of at
tempting to put a well known Omaha man
In tho keeping of Uncle Sam on tho charges
of nttcmptcd blackmail and fraudulent uso
of tho mall servlco. Tho reason why Mr.
Dobson did not carry out his purposo will
bo told later on.
Tho Omaha man who came so near find
ing hlnisolt In troublo follows tho calling
of an lnsuranco counsellor, and It Is his
avowed business to inako reports to what
over clients in may secure upon tho bus
iness methods and stability of various Ufa
and Investment lnsuranco companies. These
reports nro prcoumed to bo based upon
careful and Impartial examinations mado
by tho counsellor and tho public faith In
this particular counsellor's sagacity and In
tegrity Is said to bo strong enough to have
occured for him tho palronago and endorse
ment of a largo number of Nebraska's most
substantial citizens. At any rate, ho car
ries more, than n fow letters of commenda
tion written by Omaha modcyed mou who
arc known to bo heavily Insured.
Mr. Dobson's complaint, as related to
District Attorney Summers, Is to tho effect
that this Omaha counsellor camo to tho
head oftlco of tho National Llfo and Trust
company at Des Moines and stated to tho
Hecrctary that ho had been offered $300 to
wrlto n derogatory report on tho company,
hut that ho would prufcr to wrlto a favor
ablo roport for tho samo price In the
conversation that followed, so says Mr.
Dobson, tho counsellor explained that ho did
not caro to make an examination of tho
company's affairs, but would bo pleased to
glvo It a favorablo roport for tho sura ot
1300. and unless given tho commission ho
would have to tako tho business offered by
tho client who desired n report that would
bo Injurious to tho company. Tho secre
tary, after Inducing tho Omaha man to ro
duco hla fco from $500 to $100, drew up a
contract whereby tho counsellor agreed to
furnish a professional and favorablo report
for tho uoo of tho company "In considera
tion of tho Bum of $100, to bo paid upon
delivery of tho report."
Ask for Kxprnso Money
After signing this contract, which had
been drawn up by tho company's secretary
meroly for tho purposo of putting the
Omaha man's proposition In black and
white, the counsellor made a gcntlo touch
for oxpenso money and he was given $25
on nccount and receipted for It on tho
margin ot the contract.
Upon his return to Omaha the counsellor
hogan writing letters to tho lnsuranco com
pany domandlng the Immediate payment to
htm of tho $100. With one of his letters
was enclosed a copy of a roport attacking
tho business plans and financial policy ot
tho company, and It was intimated that this
roport would bo published unloss tho $100
foo mado Its way to Omaha Immediately.
President Dobson then concluded It was
about tlmo to call tho Omaha man's game,
and he hurried to Omaha with all the docu
mentary evidence, Including tho counsel
lor's contract and lottors. These he placed
In tho hands'of District Attorney Bummers
nnd domanded the Immediate arrest of tho
counsellor. Mr. Summers, who nover acts
In hasto In Important cubcs, told Mr. Dob
son that ho must have certain affidavits
from the secretary of his company relatlvo
to tho verbal propositions mado by tho
Omaha man before a prosecution could bo
started, Mr. Dobson promised to furnish
theso affidavits within a fow days and then
went out to took up tho counsellor pcrsou
nlly. When ho roturned to tho district at
' tornoy's office later la tho day ho said:
"This man has a lot of good friends hero
nnd, although I am morally certain that ho
Is carrying on an Illegal business, I don't
caro to break him. Uut I won't lot him
blackmail my company, and It ho bothers
us any more wo will go on with tho prose
cution." All tho papors In tho case wero left In
the hands of tho district attorney, so that
prompt action may bo taken at any tlmo

SOMETHING MUST BE DONE AT ONCE
Judge Over I'onr Years Behind nt
Present .cr Cases Filed
ttxeerd Those Dis
posed Of.
At tho last meeting of tho Stato Uar as
sociation a special committee, with Judge
Irvlno of Lincoln ns chairman, was np
nolntod to nrcparo tho proper legislation
for tho relief of tho supremo court. Judge
Irvine has resigned from tho committee ana
Judge W. D. Mcllugh of this city has been
ppolntcd to tho chairmanship. ncn soea
Tuesday Judgo Mcllugh said:
"Tho relief of the supremo court tnai
must bo provided for Is ot a two-fold na
ture. There must bo a tcmporory roller to
enable tho court to catch up with Its docket
and then thero must bo somo measure pro
viding for permanent relief which will en
ablo the court to keep up with Its work.
Tho plan for temporary relief generally
favored sb tho only feaslblo ono Is a plan
for a commission, and I nm drafting a bill
along that lino, tho details of which will
bo given out after a meeting ot the committee.
"Tho measuro for tho permanent relief
of tho court will bo a proposed constitu
tional amendment, the details of which
have not yot been approved by the committco.
Tho necessity of immediate relief of tho
supremo court Is of paramount Importance
to this state, ns tho court Is now over four
years behind In Its work and there nro
nearly 1,700 cases pending. As an illus
tration of tho manner In which the court is
getting behind I will say that from tho
first of this year up to August 25 there
wero 423 cases filed, while only 259 wero dis
posed of. Slnco August 25 207 cases have
been filed and only'sevonty-flvo have been
disposed of.
This great and growing dolay In tho
bearing and determination of cases In tho
supreme court is a practical dental of Jus
tice which should bo speedily rcmodlcd.
Dills formed to effectuato the desired ob
ject will bo submitted to tho State Bar as
sociation at its meeting early next month,
nnd after being approved will bo Introduced
In both houses and pressed for early passage."

City Engineer RoBowater Is engaged In
preparing a report for tho city council on
tho best means of burying dangerous eloc
trio wires, which will probably bo pre
sented to tho city council nt Its meeting
tonight. Mr. Roscwatcr gives an cstlmnto
of tho probablo cost of constructing con
duits for rent to tho electrical companies
and suggests that In tho present financial
condition of tho city It would not bo ad
visable to attempt such an cxpcnslvo undertaking.
Ho believes that by preventing owners of
property from using all tho space beneath
sidewalks tho owners could secure nlley
woys under walks which would make ad
mlrablo conduits that could bo entered
without tearing up streets and damaging
paving. Mr. Rosewnter's plan is to allow
tho owners .of property to uso a Dart of tho
spaco under wnlks and to requlro them to
uuild a wall midway between tho lot lino
and tho curb lino. Ho would have the city
ouiia another wall at tho curb line, thus
giving a roomy conduit In which wires and
pipes can bo placed.

This store will cese
to be itself when
there is a peaise in
irv its progress
Tho Chrietmns Holiday Goods aro a tost of prog
ress. Unless each eeasou tho things aro more beauti
ful and original, more attractive and hotter displayed,
tho movement in backward. Wo therefore challenge
our own record always -there is no other comparison.
Tho Holiday spirit of 1000 takes up the challqngo
and proposes to hold against all comers the claim that
this Holiday oar is of all the store years tho best.
And it ought to be. The markets havo been
searched for all that is now. The results are hero in
tho freshest, brightest, biggest assembly of things for
utility and beauty.
There is a vast amount of warming-up the stale left
overs of last year in the markets generally, catch words
of many sorts are applied, but they don't make the old
trash savory. A change of name is not a change of na
ture. That sort of thing is not expected here of course
not. We discount your intelligence to discus it we
know what we do to servo the public and we know this
bright keen public understands us and our work. Wc
do especially know that the contrast between the gen-,
ernl Holiday stocks of the market and the Holiday offer
ings here was'never so marked in our favor and we know
too that your appreciation will bring the desired reward.
Regarding
Men's Clothing
You know, or know of, this
department as being tho most
economical one in tho western
country. You know, or know
of its success as a retail cloth
ing store. What more can we
say?
Men's Suits from $4.50 up.
Men's Overcoats from $5.50
up.
Men's Ulsters from $4.00 up
