A VERY UNEXPECTED EVENT.
Unprofitable Ilranch Stores and the
Credit System ttio Cnuno of
tlio IJrcak-Down Mr.
1'ulack Explain * .
A Financial Craiti.
Yesterday the ntartlititf rumor was
Afloat about the city that Alexander
Polack , the well known clothing iloalcr ,
had failed. It caused quite n commotion
among the business men of this city , and
us the rumor HP road It caused the ut
most aurpriso wherever it was heard.
1'olack Is one of the pioneer business men
of Omaha , having been hero twenty-two
years. As his business grow in proportions
tions hero ho started branch stores. The
first ouo was at Cboyonnc ,
and | n March , 1830 , ho opened
one at Huron , Dak. Everybody sup
posed that Polack was doing a moneymaking -
making business , and Ins downfall was
tiuiroloro a great surprise.
Tliu first public information of the fall-
tire was made when his Farnam street
Ftorc was closed under papers secured by
Thurston & Hall , attorneys of tliu
mortgagees.
Mr. I'oluck was interviewed by a HIK
reporter last evening und made the fol
lowing statement of facts :
"I have had no trouble in Omaha , but
they jumped on mo at Huron , Dak ,
Of course I know that this thing
was coming on , and I have done all that
I could to hold it oil' . In the first placu
I secured all. of my confidential money
by putting it in luy stock hero and in
Huron. 1 lie store that I had an interest
in at Cheyenne I sold a few days ago tc
my partner , 1. ( Jreontreo , and the store
is Htill open and will pay all liabilities. "
The closing fcreditors , who had mort
gages , are as follows :

"Tho above , " said Mr. Polack-
"makes the total amount duo to confi ,
dcntial creditors about $01,000. Outside
of that i owed nearly $00,000. As I
stated , the confidential money is all secured -
cured , although I am tumbleto state
how much money my entire stock will
estimate at. I tried to pull through , but
it was impossible , and 1 thought it best
to quit while 1 could settle my conlidon-
tial money.
'There arc several causes for this fail
ure. When I started the Huron store 1
wont cast and purchased my goods on
credit. The crops failed in Huron niu !
vicinity , there became a dearth
of money , nnd the store dul
not pay. 1 have to pay out big interest
money in Huron , in Now York and in
this city. The branch stores have been
nn litter failure , and it lias been througti
them to a largo extent that my failure
ensued. Among the other main cause ?
for the failure has been my inability tc
collect outstanding accounts , whiel
naturally were incurred through tlu
credit system which 1 unfortunately cs
kablished. "

The marvels of electricity and steam
are no where more visible than in the
changes wrought in tlio lire department
systems throughout the world. To the
shadowy past , n tradition , is rclog.itcd
the old volunteer llreman for ho has sur
vived the necessity of his use and pro
gress would have to recede lustead of
advancing could the day of his prowess
and valor bo recalled. Ho will long live
in the grateful memory of posterity for
his bravery was heroism , and his life and
limb wcro ever risked in tlio safety of
his follow citizen's property and person
without ono thought of anticipated re
ward. ' He is growing old now , Is the old
lire laddie , and time has stolen trom him
his supple vigor of limb and muscle of
old , but for allthat his lire is not con
sumed , but rekindled into llame us bright
as the polished brass on the old machine
when memories of his red-shirted days of
glory are recalled. Ho forgets his rheu
matic pangs , reminders of long forgotten
colds contracted from over-heated lire
races , and spins with vim his yarn of the
days when the No. 1 and the Dig U met
on the level , neck to neck and the rival
companies , with every energy bent and
every muscle strained to its utmost , sped
on like the wind with but ono ambition
in the world , to bo the first to reach the
beckoning llames. Ho will point you to
the old trumpet hung upon the wall like
the warrior's sword , and regard it with
pride , for through it ho otton yelled the
cheering cry that led to victory , "jump
her ; jump her , jump her down. "
A MIDKK11IT 1't.A.MK
is discovered along joist and lumber. A
quick pull at the cornet box and the vis
ible but potent agent of electricity sounds
a gong at tlio engine house a mile away
awakening men ever sleepinir like sol
diers on the cvo of battle. The same un
seen agent unfastens bolts and bars and
releases horses from their couplings in-
staneously and m another minute , or ore
the indicator has told the location of the
llamc so far away , the spirited horses
with aparatus and men equipped are
dashing direct to tlin spot like an atrow
from the bow. Another minute , and
hose is ail justed to the neighboring j > lu
and the hissing sound as if of a mam
moth serpent's dying pain , proclaims
that the llanio is spent and dead. And
so quietly lias the whole work been ac
complished that the neighbors a few
blocks off will only know of the occurrence -
renco when they read it in the morning's
paper. Contrast this perfection with the
time when smoke by day and llamc by
night guided tlio toiling liromnn pulling
the heavy engine and trusting to iielj ;
picked up"on tlu > way to lighten his bur
den and the pictures are us the loco
motive and dromedary.
The organisation of
THE mibl' Kllti : COMTANV IK OMAHA
"Tho Pioneer Hook and Ladder , " was
founded upon necessity and effected by
its charter January 17,1801. The forma
tion of other companies followed am !
their efforts in the protection of mop
erty are matters of history , redounding
in their credit , for bravery and solf-sac-
rilico. Still as viewed in tlio light of to
day's events , tlio old volunteer depart
nient was a crude affair.and that Omaha ,
which was then a wooden city , was
not consumed entirely by the visita'
tion of a great lire was more duo t <
Providence in preventing it , than tin
ability of tlio firemen to cope with it
'
Thoe'lVortsof other cities in the porfectioi
of their lire systems and the institutioi
of paid departments of professional lire
men , whoso ti.mo and attention distractei
.from other pursuits led to new discover
ies ami mechanical contrivances for tin
mastery of llamos , led the. Omaha pe <
pie to adopt a similar organization. A
iirst , this organisation , cffeeti'din 1870 b ;
the consolidation of all the existing com
panics , was a partially paid , partial ! ;
volunteer department. This , too , wa
the case in most of the oilier cities of tli' '
country. It was hard for the old firemai
to relinquish his hold upon th
engine , difficult to persuade him tha
machinery and horse-power wore sup
plotnontine Ins use. Hero , as elsewhere
lie succumbed at last to the iron discipline
plino put upon him , and rcali/.cd in tun
that the new order was by far the better
So ho gradually dropped out , his grutui

As existing to-day the lire dopartmor
of Omaha comprises six companies , nun
bored from ono to six , exclusive of tw
hook and ladder companies. With tli
exception of the two latter coiupanu
and the chemical engine , the apparati
in use is exclusively hosu carts. Thei
are thri'o steamers standing in as man
engine houses , but barred from activil
from the absence of any connection wit
them of hteam retorts , which would ii
sure tluiir immediate need if called inl
use. Jt is claimed that steam * can be gei
crated from cold water in them by meat
of lire alone in tlireu and a half minute
sufficient to throw a stream , but ailini
ting this fact as possible , it can scarce !
bo supposed that the stream thus pn
duccU would be capable in force to r
work on the high buildings throng ;
out the city. The water power supplii
by the reservoir is alone used , and i
course this pressure ) must diminish wlu
distributed to additional pings , which tl
city's incro'iso will demand. These ei
gines , capable of such prompt and pov
erful action , are a sad sight standii
neglected and alone , particularly aft
costing the eity so much for their pu
chaso. The lir.it steamer , known as tl
"Hlack Maria , " was sold to a junk deal
for $ ! ! ! > , and unless the threp ongin
standing idle are converted into u > o
may bo presumed they will follow tl
junk dealer's route , too.

THE LOT OF A FIKEMAN
is not a happy one and ho earns dearly
every dollar of his salary. His long an'd
enforced hours of case are spent in con
stant dread of the anticipated alarm , and
ho sleeps in apprehension of a
sudden awakening. In season and out
ho must face all kinds of weather and
to hesitate in entering the burning bulM-
ing , albeit tlio walls are cracking , is sub
jection for him to tlio brand of cowardice ,
ills bravery is forgotten witli the occasion
calling it forth , and his glory is
posthumous , hardly that , for the bones
of the liremcn who went to their death
amid the fallen walls of the Grand Cen
tral hotel on that September night in 187b
are yet unhonored by the erection of any
public monument over them. Tliero is

immensely large and attractive stock to chose from. But it is not
alone our superior assortment upon which we claim your patronage.
It is our methods of doing business ,
Strictly one price and the same marked in plain figures on each article. '
Money refunded for anything that can be bought cheaper elsewhere , ,
or that is not satisfactory , if promptly returned.
These methods demand attention , not only from those who seek to
secure poods at the lowest prices , but also from those buyers who lack
implicit confidence in their own judgment , as they can depend upon
honest treatment. It is our aim to so please those who once deal with
us , that they will ever after be our patrons.

additions. We open today

for boys who are hard on clothes , The material is durable and
they are made strong. The same suit costs in other houses , at >
least $4.00.
