president, Henry W. Yates of Omaha,
Introduced nishnn UMlii,.. ti.-
Wild
coadjutor bishop of Nebraska made a brief
invocation, asking the blessings of 1'rotl
drnce upon the pror-eodlngB and praying thrtt
tlio members of the association may bo
Klven strength to resist the sordid spirit of
Lommeiclrtllsni.
A letter of regret was rend from Senator
.Millard, who was to have mudo the address
'if welcome. In this ho mated that he had
been cailcd to Now York suddenly, but that
he welcomed the delegates and visitors to
tbc city wlttj tho greatest pleasure.
I' y. Ilentley of Grand Island responded
to the scntlmeniM expressed In tho letter,
saying that when ho ralno to Nebraska
twenty-ono years ago ho was cordially r

pecially by Senator Millard, to whoso sound
advice hn owed much of his success.

iiucHtlons affecting tho general Interests of
ho people as well us inattrr relating en
tlrely to banks imd bankers. He said In
part 'Today wo meet under a cloud of
Bloom and sorrow. A mysterious dispen
sation of providence ban permitted one of
the bent of our presidents and ono of tho
greatest of our Blnlesmon to bo carried off
by the hand of (in assassin. Tho blow has
been aimed against ourselves and our .free
nstltut.ons. Wo join in sorrow for his
loss and In prulso for bis hlgh-mlndod

The president said Hint m fmm.i
group system most satisfactory, bat that
practical experience may demonstrate that
u change bo made In tho boundaries of somo
of the groups. .Speaking of business con
ditions he said:
"During the past year tho banks of tho
state have continued to show n vust Increnso
In tho volume of business over the preced
ing year, which hus been continuous slucu
1SSS. The deposits now aggregate the larg
est sum over showti In tho history of the
state Last year tho deposits were: State
banks, $25,256,035; national banks, l!,070,
629; total, 74,:6,r.fii. The figures for the
current year are Statu bunks, $30,504,631.
national banks, J5C,72(i,500; total, JS7.2D1.

to go east for the money needed to hnndlti
tho business which comej to them, but In
oome cases they have sent a surplus to tho
east. Tills la a remnrkablo situation, and
wo cannot expect It to ulwnjs continue. An
Investigation, however, of tho nsict side of
tho statistics will show that our banks aro
all well prepared for the down grade which
must bo anticipated In tho not dlstunt fu
ture." The president touched upon tho laws
regarding banking taking tbo position that
while somo laws may not bo entirely Just
li Is bettor to suffer under tho known evils
than to have much tampering with tho
lawa. He, however, statod that thcro wore
(trtatn laws which had outlived thalr
usefulness and should bo modified, Among
them he cited laws relating to days of
grace, responsibility of collecting banks)

Nntlmml l.cu Isln I ti,ii.
Speaking of national- legislation he said
that ho did not favor the enactment of a
law to make silver anil silver certiorates
specifically redeemable iu gold, rs there
was not enough silver In tho country to
do any damage and the "sllror craze" was
dtad. He did not favor branch banks and
believed that a majority of the hankers
would be opposed to tho plan. He did not
favor a plan to permit banks to Issue legal
tender notes against commercial sfsels. as
tl.ese would not give tho protection to the
holder now afforded by the national bank
lug system of notes, but he did favor the
authorization of an emergency currency
which would permit banks to Mde over
periods of commercial deprcs'lon, these
notes being so carefully guarded and heav
ily taxed that they would bo withdrawn
from circulation ns soon ns they had served
their Immediate purpose. Tbc war tax on
bank stock, In his opinion should bo re
pealed. The address then touched upon
tho drouth of 1001 and upon other 'business
conditions. He said that the consolidations
of the railroad systems would be a good
thing far a had thing ns tho managers
cboce, but that It might do good by giving
nil merchants established rates.
tllsriiftsr the Trusts,
On the subject of trusts the president of
tho association referred to the Kugllsh law
of nn early dny which attempted to regulata
tho prlco of commodities and continued.
"Our trust mngnntes of these modern
days, It may easily be belloved, possess a
power In this direction no monarch ever
possessed, and their efforts will undoubt
edly be directed to raising prices nnd not
to lowering them. If these business con
solidations by tho use of almost unlimited
capital were carried to theoretically possl
bio results It would follow that our busi
ness hnuaes would bo greatly reducod In
number nnd would become merely ngenclcs
for tbo distribution of goods. Under such
clrcumstnncrs the banking business as It
now exists and Is prosecuted would becomo
extinct. Granted thnt such n contingency
wen; Imminent, It Is easier to point It out
than to suggest remedies to prevent It, for
It Is shown thnt tho growth of tho trusts
Is greater In those states which havo passed
prohibitive laws. I think tho cose
may be thus summarized: Whatever of
good thero mny exist In this movement of
capital to comblno nnd consolidate will con
tinue, but whatever Is harmful will fall of
Its own weight. Tho competition of capital
with cnpltnl, which Is tiro, proper work for
capital to do, aided on ono stde by sound
public sentiment, may bo depended upon to
curb tho tendency now so apparent and to
correct nnd mltlgato thnt which has already
occurred."
Following tho address, the secretary and
president mnde reports showing tho condi
tion of tho, association. Theso reports wero
referred to committees.
The report of tho cxecutlvo committee,
Including n special report of a commlttco
appointed to Investigate tho question of In
demnity nnd burglnry Insurance, was re
ceived. Tho cxecutlvo commltteo showed
that during tbo last year copies of tho con
stitution nnd bylaws had been placed In
every bank in tho state; that tho proceed
ings of tho last convention and bnnquet and
tho proceedings of tho group meeting had
been published; and that each bank
In tho association had been In
formed of tho plan made somo time
ngo to rob tho bank nt Ogalalla;
that tho commlttco had not deemed It advis
able to push the negotiable Instrument law
through tho last session of tho legislature
until It could be further considered by the
members of tho association.. The report of
the special commltteo recommended thnt
tho association sign n contract with somo
Indemnity nnd burglar Insuranco company,
whereby the commissions paid agents upon
the business In tho stato would be turned
Into the trensury of the association, nn offi
cer of tho association acting as agent for
tho companies,
Trlhulr to Mt-Kliilcy.
As tbo ueual addresses had clthor been
snorter than usual or the speaker had been
nbsent, tho convention found time In tho
morning to bear the speech of Hon. Ocorgo
W. Post of York, who was to havo spoken
in the nfternoon. Tho speaker oponed his
rcmnrKH ny paying trlbuto to tho memory
of William Mc.Klnley nnd In denouncing tho
theories of tho nnnrchlsts, saying that un
der tho "general welfare" provision of the
United States constitution congress had
power to mako tho tcnchlng of nnarchlslc
doctrine n felony nnd to provide for Its
punishment. Ho also said thnt the sev
eral" states had tbo same power and Hint It
was tho duty of both state and nation to
pass such laws. He also decried tho "yel
low Journals," raying that they bred dis
content and n disrespect for lawful au
thority, ami that no silf-rcspectlng man
could countennnce their nctfuns.
Ho then entered Into tho subject of his
speech, which was- "Tho Kxpcnso Account

He mid that bankers should pay particular

Then followed tho teti-mlnute talks which
wore on the program for this afternoon.
The drat was hy John W. Stelnhnrt of Ne-.
braska City on tho suhlect. "The Hanker: !
a Servant or nn Aristocrat." .Mr. Stein
hart's Idea, ns expressed In the paper, Is
that bankers, especially In small town, uro
liable to become domineering and arbitrary,
ns they haie the credit of the town In
their keeping. He would havo It other
wl. r.nd have tho bankers keep In touch
with the whole people, ns dealers In money,
selling ounces as well as pounds and keep
ing persons who dea,lrc small loans out of
the hands of money sharks. He was pleased,
he said, to see that this Idea Is growing
In tho country.
Tho second paper was "Nothing," by E.
R I'oulda o? Schuyler. "Nohtlng" proved
to be a number of vnlunble- ami humorous
suggestions on tho subject of banks and
banking, founded on the personal experi
ence of the speaker.
I'liper li .1, H. DlmniiiiT,
"Dangers to Country Hankers In Paying
Interest on Deposits,"- was tho subject pre
sented by J. H. Dliismore of Sutton. Mr.
Dlnsmore believed that the banks should
now bo able to suspend payinent of Interest
on deposits better than ever beforo and
thnt such steps should bo taken.

nttenllon to the bankers, saying that n!
good character was the best ussot a banker
could hnve.
uiiticuitics of Hanking In Prosperous
hensons was tho theme of Ocorge N. Sey
mour of hlgln. The speaker saw as tho
principal danger under existing clrcuni
stances n demand from borrowers for loans
on unsound security and a tendency on tho
pnrt-of banks to grant the rcnucats. Ho
believed that there Is a reaction coming
and that bankers can mako that reaction
easy or dlfllcult, ns they now conduct their
business

of "Tho Negotiable Instruments Law,"
favoring tho bill now under consideration
by the association.
A telegram from Mr. McKllllp. who Is
said to opposo the negotiable) Instruments
law, was rend, stating that ho could not
bo at tho convention, but it was said by
a member of the cxecutlvo committee that
he now favors the passage of that law.
It was announced that tho luncheon set
for tonight would be given at 1:30 today
nt tho Millard hotel, as many persons do
sired to leave the city this nfternoon.
Judgo Post of York, speaking on thn
negotiable Instruments law, said that tho
law was so long and Intricate and Its Im
portance so great to tho bankers that he
did not feel like expressing a pobltlvo opin
ion. In tbo states whero it has been
adopted It has been adopted as n whole,
without nmendment. He said It was ex
ceedingly desirable that upon this subject
tho laws of the different states should be
Identical.
Tho bill was discussed for some time,
the general sentiment being In favor of Its
passago as It now stands, nnd Its subse
quent amendment If necessary. Tho report
of tho committee favoring the enactment
of the law was adopted.
A resolution thnnklng Judso Post for
requesting the Omaha clearing houso to

and thanking tbo Omaha banks for repeal

Doctor Wanata, of Lansing, Mich.,
Says Tlioro is Nothing in the Matoria Mcdica that
Equals Lydia E, Pinkham's Vegotablo Oom
pouud for the Ouro of Woman's Ills,
"Peati Mns. Pinkiiam: The honest, intclHpont physician is nbovo
tho School.' Whatever is best in puch tnse should ho u?etl. no matter
to what school a physician belongs. 1, an a matter of ronseieiiee, can
only prescribe tho best, and ns 1 know and have proven thnt there is
nothing in .Materia Mrdica which counts Lytliti K. Plnklinnrs Vogo
tablo Compound in severe cases or fcmalo disorders, 1 unhesitatingly
prescribe it, and havo never yet been sorry.
"I know of nothing better for ovarian troubles and for falling of
tho womb or ulceration.-?; it absolutely restores the ntl'eeted part's to
their normal condition quicker nnd better than anything else. 1 havo
known it to euro barrenness in women, who to-day aro happy mothers
of children, and while tho medical profession looks down upon 'patents,'
I havo learned, instead, to look-up to tho healing potion, bv whatever
name it bo known. If my follow physicians dared tell the truth, hundreds
of them would voice my sentiments." JJn. Wanata, Lansing, Jlich.
DR. WANATA.
As Dr. Wanata says, if physieiens dared to bo frank nnd open, hun
dreds of them would acknowledge that they constantly prescribe I,ydia
K. Pinklmtu'K Vogctnbln Compound in severe cases of female ill's, as
they know by experience thnt it can bo relied u:on to effect a cure.
Women who aro troubled with painful or irregular menstruation,
backache, bloating (or flatulence), leucorrluKa, falling, intiamniation or
ulceration of tho uterus, ovarian troubles, that "bearing-down" feeling,
dizziness, faintness, indigestion, nervous prostration or the blues should
tako immediate action to ward off tho serious consequences, ami bo
restored to perfect health and strength by tnking Lydia 12. Pinklmm's
Vegetable Compound, and then writo to Mrs. Pinkham, Lynn, iMnss.,
for further freo advice No living person has had such a vast and
successful experience in treating female ills. She has guided thousands
to health. Evory suffering woman should ask for nnd follow her advice.
Lydia E. Pinklmiii's Vcgotiiblo Compound has carried hundreds
of women through the periods of child bearing and chango of lifo in
perfect comfort and safoty.
A medicine that has restored so many women to health and can produce
of of the fact must ho rcparded with respect. ThlHisthe record of Lydia 12.
iilcliam's Vegotublo Compound, which cannot be equalled hy any
nroof
Pinicliam'
other medicine the world has ever produced.
It is well to rememher these fncts when some druggist tries to pet you to
buy something which he says is "just ns good." That is impossible, as ho
other medicine liar, such a record of cures as Lydia K. Pinkliam'n VcgO
tahlo Compound ; so do not experiment with untried medicines.
