NEBRASKA ALL RHiHI
CONGRESSMAN STARK VISITJ
HIS NATIVE STATE.
lie Finds That Nebraska Securities Htani
High — Something learned That I*
Considered Worth Telling — The
Old-Time Western Man to
He Kelled C pon.
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. The
sovereign clerk estiuiat. s that the
order will add $1 .oou.ouo to the clear
mg’s thN y«*ur.

' FROM WASHINGTON.
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. Koch made
two attempts at rape in this city, both
w ithin an hour of each other--one vic
tim a married woman, tiie other a 15
vear-old girl. lie was unsuccessful in
Isilli attempts. He was promptly tried
upon one offense and fined glut) and
I costs for assault and batten . Last
mi.mill he. was tried for the second

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 esti
mate was as follows:

It wan the unanimous opinion of the
members of the eonunittee that the ad
ministration building should be an
imposing structure, iu which each of
the states should have a .suite of rooms
set apart for its commissioners and
visitors. 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.

his resolution calling upon tlie civil
service commission to examine and re
port to the senate the reasons why Dr.
IV. S. 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. The resolution is
just a little bit more searching than !
the former resolution, and seeks to in- |
vestigate tlie action of J Sterling Mor- )
ton in dismissing the above named j
persons. Senator Allen also presented j
a favorable report for the Indian '

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. Also a favorable report
from the sume committee for the relief
of homesteader settlers on the ceded |
portions of the great Sioux reserva

•• Paderewski's refusal to play at a
concert where the -cuts were to be at
reduced prices, " -aid a former man
ager of attractions, ••was, of course,
the work of his manager. Wlion an
American manager farms out a lectur
er or a singer to a local manager it is
imuriubly with the stipulation that
the price of seats shall not lie reduced
below the usual local rates for per
formers of like grade. Managers are
tenacious on this point, because they
know that once a man's rates are re
duced it is almost impossible again to
bring them up to the standard. Some
of the perfohners realize this and a re
sufficiently stiff about rates. But no
manager could long exist should he
disregard the priirdole."
