Wealth.
Ununn dernoct nts are disbursing money
these ante-election days with r.snd so
prodigal aa to b'flt the typical IadvllU
miner celebrating a lucky strike.
For Instanco. Tom Flynn, mn'r of
the Dalman ranipaJ,n, went t. a tele
phone Friday afternoon, and railing numer
oui f arages. ordered lift automobiles
for uae on eieitlon day.
"We're payl' ,J' 'or ' " ,n-'
chine." Vanag-rr Fiynu said over the
'phone, ami evIOMntly the price was satis
factory to tne men at the other end of
the 'phone, for In earn li.nanoe Klynn
ent bark a jav. 'all ilKlit. old acout,"
thus Indicating- tiiat a sal.sractory deal
had been arranged.
'A thousand dolUn' worth of automobile
rides all In one day that's a, ire enough,
burning money up lMu in-naine imukc,"
remarked a bystander.
"Wonder where Uiey get so uiuilt inonoy
that their pan afford to turn loose a whole
thousand, for Jut one Item of campaign
eapnnaer' queried another llatrner.
Flynn didn't eeem to hear the question,
auU having oompleted hla telephoning, and
being aasure.1 of fifty automobiles to carry
Pahlman voters to tlie pulls, he quiotiy
hustled, out to conquer other tasks devolving-
upon him In his capacity of Dahlman's
chief lieutenant.
"I'll bet you $A) that !ahlman la the
ext governor and tne entire Douglas
county ticket goes as Pahlman goes." Is
a, common street utterance and that, too,
from men who a month ago were doing
well to raise the price of a ton of coal.
Why this Aladdln-IIke transition from
financial stringency to comparative afflu
ence?
How does this sudden plethoric condition
ef purse come about?
lasl the Aslrn.
These are timely questions now afloat,
and the answer Is that the brewery Inter
ests are furnishing the democratic cam
paign aluah fund and that now In the elev
enth hour It has been determined by the
managers to daitzlo the eyoe of the voters
Willi a show of monoy strength, relying
upon the theory that money begets Influ
ence and that where money la, there goes
the crowd also.
It Is aleo related upon seemingly au
- thentlo authority that the national associa
tion of liquor dealers has dropped $2!,UOO
Into Nebraska a largo percentage of It
being set apart fur un In Omaha and that
the main Urea of the association Is to
secure the election of Hitchcock for senator
and Dahlman for governor.
Whether this story oi the national asso
ciation's contribution be true or not there
Hi no gaintiayinrj 11. e fact that there Is a
. gigantic slush fund afloat from somewhere,
' and It Is moreover obvious that the afore
said fund la cot being supplied by the
democ ratio candidate, or by the state or
County committee In the usual routine way.
Perhaps never before In the history of
Nebraska or any other mid-west state bas
there beeu such profligate expenditure of
money. It Is a campaign of dollars, and
there is a feverishneaa about the game that
likens It to a racetrack ace tie when the
flyers are coining in on Uae homestretch.
It Is a picturesque campaign, too the like
of which Is seldom seen In this enlightened
and conservative era.
. Men about town, hack drivers, chauffeurs
and night owls who have no regular occu
pation are air supplied with liberal quan
tities of money, and there Is much to re
call the days when Omaha was a frontier
town and when glasses on the bsr clinked
In rhythmic consonance with the cllckety
click of poker chips.

still in prison, Mr. Ilitcli
cock and his "World-Hera Id
forced the withdrawal of II.
I. Goold, republican nomi

because he had borrowed
$1,000 from Bartley, of
which half remained unpaid.

WHEN )unhaiiiK a piano, no matter what con
sideration may bo paramount, it is invariably bet to
buy a Steiiiway, for no other piano stands for the same
high standard of piano construction.
QUALITY If it is a question of quality and per
manency of tone, of superior materials and workman
ship, or proven durability then the recorded judg
ment of the world's most eminent musical ami sci
entific experts declares the Steinway the Standard
of the World.
PRICE If it is a question of price then, all things
considered, the Steinway is the greatest piano value
for the money paid, for experience has proven that
a Steinway piano depreciates less, both in intrinsic
and market value, than any other make.
STYLE For visible, tangible proof of Steinway pe
rnancy, examine, a Miniature (..rand at ,or a Ver
tegrand at !550, ebonized cases.
Each piano tho criterion of its class.
A complete line of Steinway Grand and Upright
pianos, especially selected for our Christmas trade has
arrived, and we extend a cordial invitation to visitors,
as well aa intending purchasers to call and inspect
these beautiful pianos.

What These Documents Prove
Railroad Work
Being Pushed
Several of tho Bij Jobs in Omaha
Are Well Under Way To
ward Completion.
' Rteady proa-rea Is being made on the
various big railroad projects being carried
n In Omaha this fall. The Union raclflc
headquarters building has the steel work
completed up to the fourth story and much
of the cement construction and carpenter
work being done In the basement and the
first floor Is completed. As soon as more
steel Is received the work of raising the
big steel structure will continue.
The poatoffloe building at Tenth and
Marcy streets lias been completed for the
first story and the second to level with
tbe viaduct. The third story will be done
on the outside work before the middle of
'next week. The shop buildings In the
hop grounda are not progressing quite so
fast, but will be finished this winter.
Terminal construction at Eighth and
lacknon streets, where the new Burlington
freight deiwt la going up, la growing by
leaps and hounds. Grading on the terminal
entrance Ituelf Is almost completed and the
Vla-n of the entrauce and exit of the new
deiHit can now be seen.
On the outbound freight bou, which Is
the one being constructed first, the steel
truKS work Is completed or the first two
of the three sections being raised this year
and the brick work follows It right along,
The rafters on the roof and the carpenter
work has also been started. The various
unloading platforms are In course of being
built, concrete plies being driven for them.
Although ma contractors win have to
hasten thlnice somewhat they will undoubt
adly be able to hare the depot ready for
Christ mas.
First In January, 1893, Joseph S. Bartley took charge of the state's
money, having been elected state treasurer on the republican ticket with the
apparent opposition of the democratic World-Herald then, as now, owned and
edited by Gilbert M. Hitchcock.
Second On December 28, 1893, in the wake of the disastrous panic, when
neither banks nor bankers were making new loans to anybody, O. M. Hitchcock
came to O. V. Wattles in the Union National bank with a letter from Bartley
telling him to let Hitchcock have f 3,000 of the money on deposit to Bartley's
account and to take Hitchcock's note for the same. To accommodate Mr.
Hitchcock, then to him a total stranger, Mr. Wattles drew a check to himself
for $1,000 (Exhibit 1) and then and there endorsed it over to Mr. Hitchcock,
who later wrote hla name on the back of it and had it cashed In. (Exhibit 2).
Third Tbe check, presumably Sunday and New Tear's day Intervening,
was presented amd paid January 2, 1894, being stamped with the dater and
marked, "Charge account J. S. Bartley, Treas." (Exhibit 2). Entries on the
books of the bank are said to correspond.
Fourth The note for $3,000 given by Mr. Hitchcock December 28, 1893,
was as per "arrangements," immediately endorsed over to Bartley by wattles
wit hout recourse.
Fifth Having got the money by means of Bartley's letter, Hitchcock two
days later, on December 30, 1893, wrote to Bartley expresalng his gratitude
as follows: (Exhibit 5).
OMAHA. Neb. Dec 30.
Dear Bartley: I got your letter and arranged the matter as suggested
with Mr. , whom I had not previously met, but who impresses me as
a very stroug, clear-headed business man. Thank you.
Do you advise me to take steps' in the direction you suggested about a
special train, or wUl you speak first? G. M. H.
Sixth Observe that Hitchcock eays he "had not previously met Mr. Wat
tles." Observe that he aays nothing about a second mortgage security. Ob
serve tnat he says "Thank you" to Bartley, not "Thank you" to Wattles.
Seventh The note that Hitchcock gave for $3,000 borrowed from Bart
ley in 1898 matured and became past due. It was renewed finally September
25, 1895 (Exhibit 3), with the same endorsement without recourse (Exhibit
4) on the back.
Eighth Then after the loan, had run two years does the worthless second
mortgage for the first time appear. Hitchcock acquired from wattles by
Borne sort of trade a piece of real estate subject to a $10,000 first mortgage.
To cover up the deal with Bartley a worthless second mortgage for $3,000 was
made out and recorded again in the name of Wattles, who, however, had no
interest In it.
Ninth Although within a few months after the note became due, Bartley
proved to be a defaulter and was sent to the penitentiary for falling to turn
ovef the state's money loaned to Hitchcock, Hitchcock made no effort to pay
either principal or interest. Bartley was in prison when the note outlawed
and he was In prison, also, when the foreclosure suit was instituted.
Tenth When Bartley, after liberation, demanded repayment of the note
Hitchcock repudiated the debt, which now, with interest, amounted to nearly
$5,000, setting up the statute of limitations, and then through Metcalfe com
promised It for about 10 cents on the dollar.

We, the undersigned 8wedlh-Amerleanl
voters of Douglas county, Nebraska, do
hereby endorse Judge Abraham Uncoln
Sutton, republican candidate for congress
man to represent thli district, and urge all
Bwedlah-Amerlcans to vote for him, for the
following reasons:
lie Is a republican and stands for the
principles: and the partv In which the large
majority of our nationality believe.
As a republican oongreaaman he can ac
complish more for the people of this dis
trict than hla democratic opponent, as the
majority party In congress for tbe next
two years at least will b republican, and
he will be with the controlling party.
Judge Button's record as Judge of the
datrlct court cf this district for the last
six years proves him to be a man of ster
ling character, fearless and Immovable 1n
his stand for what he thinks Is right, iiual
Ities which are especially needed In a con
gressman, who In making laws will have
to cope wWn the lartceat and mod power
ful Interests In the Inlted Mates.
Judce Sutton's legal training, his long
experience as a Judge, hie natural ability
his courage, determination and fearless
ness, his sense of Justice and fairness, his
aggressiveness and push, fit and qualify
him to sit In the United States congress
and represent this district there, far more
than bis democratic or-pouent. In other
words, he is much the abler and more
qualified man for the place, and It Is to
the best Interests of Bwedlah-Amerlcans. as
well aa all other Americans of this dis
trict, that he be elected.
