Congressman Stark of Nebraska. Washington special to t)ie Ouiah: Worlil-llerahl: Congressman Stark i»l Nebraska spent a week or ten days li hi* native state. Connecticut, where hi passed the early years of his boyhood life, lie went west at all early day and hud not visited Ills old-time friemh in many years, but none hail forgotten him and nl* reception was a hearty one on every hand, lie hud not been ut inline long licforc the officer* of one ol the banks sent for him. "I was shown a lot of western securi ties," said the Nebraskan, "a nmnbei of them from Nebrusku. and 1 want t< say that Nebraska securities stand high. I got interested in the niattei and visited New lluven and several other towns, and found every where tin same tiling. ••It is a popular tiling to say out west," he continued, "tliut the saving bunks of Connecticut sre burstinir witli money. Now. while that may be true, it struck me in an entirely new light when I was Informed that the laws ol Connecticut arc so framed tiiut very little leeway Is allowed to the savings hank* to do business outside of the stute. "ITtder the laws of the state tin money of a savings hunk cannot be in vested in reul estate mortgages outside of Connecticut, so that even if so in clined no investments of tilts kind can can is- legally made in Nebraska. •‘Moreover, u savings hunk is not allowed lo buy u debenture bond, and cannot invest its funds in outside municipal securities, except in cities of a certain class. “In Nebraska, for instance, Omaha anil Lincoln arc the only cities c lining within the excepted limitations. The banks are not allowed to buy tin bonds of any other municipality in tin state. “So the savings hanks may lie burst ing with money, as popularly claimed, but there is no outlet for it. and the western investments arc made by indi vidgals. not tin- incorporated institu tions. I was somewhat surprised to find out these facts, and I think it would Interest the people of Nebruska to know them. “The Connecticut moneyed men.'' continued the Nebraska man. “have suddenly awakened to u new conccp tion of the conditions under which they have been laboring in the past. They have found by long experience that tiie old-time western man is all right: the old settler is to is- relied upon and trusted. The loan and trust companies that have been going to the wall were manned and officered, nine times out of ten, by new men from tin* east who never understood western matters and men,” Hesdiiasrtsrs Kemslo In Omaha. The headquarters of the sovereign camp of the Woodmen of the World will remain in Omaha for the next two years at least. This was decided upon at tiie recent St. Louis meeting of that body. The local head officers arc con siderably dated over the matter. insi~ mnc-li as there was a decided sentiment in favor of the removal of the offices to some more central point. Sovereign Clerk Yates, one of the officers in attendance at the St. Louis meeting, was decidedly jubilant at tin defeat of the movement to remove the headquarters. lie said that the re moval of tiie offices would Is- quite a serious blow to the business interests of Omaha. All tin* literature and no tices sent out are dated from Omaha, and consequently that city gains a great amount of advertising ill that way. Ail the inonev for assessments comes into the offices and is disbursed through them Most of this money is moving continually, hut yet tin- office-, continually retain a balance of some $30,000 in a local bank This incoming amt outgoing money, however, is in cluded in the hank clearings.

Matter* at the Capital That Concern Nebraskan*. Washington special to the Lincoln Journal: A meeting of the republican ! me ml sts of tlie Nebraska delegation was held today. The session was lively and interesting. It adjourned witii a tacit understanding that nu details should tie given to the press. It appears, however, that some ol those who partieipated did not con sider the meeting as a secret one. The IT. 8. Marshalship was under dis cussion. Senator Thurston stuted that he would not indorse Colonel Sizer for tlie position. He stated that some of sizer's friends had made it disagreeable for him, and he would not yield the position. Representative Strode made an earnest and vigorous plea for Colonel Sizer, calling attention to his magnifi cent indorsements, ills work for the party in Lancaster county and his long ami fuithful services to republicanism. Senator Thurston stated tliut lie pro posed to tender the posit ion to tieorge II. Thunitnel of (Jrand Island. The senator said that Mr. Thuimnel had made no application for this important, position, but that a number of his friends iiad urged him as a very com petent fterson to perform the duties. A lively exchange of civilities fol lowed between Judge Strode and tlie senator, brought out by a desire ou the purt of the representative from the First district to know exactly what Ids district was likeiv to have when tlie federal pie wus cut. Senator Thurston intimated that he violated no confidence when he said (hat outside of the postmasters in the First uud Second districts he proposed to do the curving and distributing of the political pie unassisted by any members of the house of representa tives from Nebraska, The senator announced that all ottices outside of postottlces were his to name by sena torial prerogative. These include all the lumi ottices, the custodians of the public buildings and all deputies and minor ottices uot under the civil ser vice. This caused Representative Mer cer to start in his seat. Representative Mercer asked Senator Thurston to repeat Just what he would claim, and tile senator ugaiu reiterated that lie claimed all the patronage in the state except tile postotUces in the First and Second districts. The attention of the senator was called to the fact that he hud all the federal patronage of the Fourth concessional district served in the present c< ngress by populists. He replied that this was his misfortune ami their good fortune. The discussion waxed exceedingly warm and the bird of harmony roosted at the other end of the capitof grounds when the meeting ended. Judge Strode did not agree to withdraw his tight for Col. Sizer, and gave no intimation of bis support of George H. ’tthummel or ofanyothersoftho.se who tiave been named as being on Senator Thurston's slate. Senator Thurston declared that .ie had recommended no one. but was apparently unwilling to state whether he did not propose to nominate J. K. lioutz for the collectorship of internal revenue. The question of the district attorneyship was not raised, except in ferentially, through the remark of senator Thurston to Representative Mercer that owing to the new charter tud the early elections to be held in Omaha matters of patronage for that ■ity might well bo held in abeyance. Representative Mercer does not feel as harmonious as might have been in dicated by his silence in the confer ence. At the same time lie seems to tiave postponed hi* promised trip to the white house and to be awaiting levelopmeuta in securing something later. It doe* not look tonight as if a United republican delegation from Ne braska will be an early visitor to the executive mansion. New Trial Denied Kuril. I Columbus dispatch: Judge Sullivan has overruled the motion for a new j trial in the case of the state vs. Frank Koch and sentenced him to six years in the penitentiary at hard labor. One evening in January, lstei.

Maks* Katlmata of Cost. At a recent meeting of the executive committee of the Trans-Mississippi exposition Manager Kirkendall, chief of tlic department of building* and grounds, submitted an estimate of tbu probable coat of preparing the grounds and buildings, which ha<l been pre pared by himself and General Superin tendent Geraldine, and asked for the advice and opinions of the other mem bers of the committee. For the first time the committee had before it the consideration of the details of construc tion and the session was an animuted one, lasting all the afternoon, and an adjournment was taken in order to give this most important matter still further consideration. The estimate presented by Mr. Kir kendalt was explained by that gentle man as being a rough approximation designed to acquaint the members of the committee witii the probable cost of an exposition constructed along the line.'* which niivr nmi liiiu uunn. in said tlie list in question tii<l not include the buildings to be erected by the federal government or the state of Nebraska, but was only designed to include the buildings to be erected by tho exposition association.

The executive offices of the exposition will also be located in this building. Members of the committee were unanimous on the point that the agri cultural feature of tin- exposition must be one of the most prominent, in honor of the importance of the agricultural industry of the entire Trans-Mississippi region. The auditorium will l»e an immense structure, a duplicate of the world famous Mormon tabernacle in Salt Lake City, tlie most perfect auditorium in the world, it will probably be con structed of steel framework in such a manner that it may be removed when the exposition is over and erected near the business center of town. A special feature will be made of tlie live stock exhibit, and extensive pre parations will be made to make that one of the most attractive departments. Allen's 1’ursolt of Morton.

White, William Holmes, John Heller, Mary A. Dalton and Mary Flynn were discharged from the serv ice of tlie bureau of animal industry at South Omaha.

Senator Allen also presented j a favorable report for the Indian ' affairs committee restoring tin- Santc' Sioux in Nebraska and the Flandrcuu Sioux In South Dakota to ail rights and privileges enjoyed by them and their ancestors under tlie treaties of 1837 and 1811.
