AROtit Clmrltoti of the Alton mul Chairman
Flnloy of tliovestorn I'aswiRnr association
uad n fresh tilt today. The chairman with
romarkahlu pewUtonco again pro.iontotl the
bill for * r. against ihoAltin for IU proportion
tion of the expenses of the association for
the month of Juno , 1891 , anil timed Its
prompt payment In order that proper credits
might bo shown In the regular monthly state
ments. To this Mr. Clmrlton replied :
"In relation to the hill for fM which you
claim Is the Chicago ft Alton's proper pro
portion of the expenses ot your asnoclatlon
forlho llrst half of Juno , please see the last
paragraph In niy loiter to you July I. I had
proiumod that would soltlo the question and
J tnought you understood It , As you did
nothliiB for us in the month of Juno oxeept
to leave us without protection and by this In-
Kcnuoiia proceedings delay independent
action on our part to protect ourselves , 1 don't
see what claim you liavo against us. You
did no work for us , hut did work against us
mid wo hardly care to pay you for that. If
you can. in violation of the agreement ,
iirbltrarlly exclude us from thu association
when you please , are not we fully at liberty to
stop paying when wo pleiisel
"Considering the Umiiagu that has boon In
flicted upon us by lack ot proper protection
to which wo wcro entitled and our delay In
Indonumlcntlv protecting ourselves oecanioned
by your coursu In leading us to hullcvo that
you Intended to tiiko action , it seems to move
\vo have a cliilm for damages against you in
stead of you having any claim against us. "
Apparently this leaves the association with
but two alternatives open to it. One la to lu-
Btltuto legal procooillngs against the Alton
for the amount named in the bill , the other
is to drop the wliolo matter and reapportion
the expenses of the association for ttic Hrst
half of Juno with the Alton loft out. It Is
not considered Ilicclv that the Hrst of these
alternatives will bo adopted.

A meeting of the passenger oIllciaH of the
Chicago and St. 1'aul lines was held teduv to
consider a proposition from the Northern
Pacific and the fJtvat Northern roads. In
consequence of the fin rate existing between
Chicago and the Missouri river the two roads
named have mltetl tlicir St. Paul connections
to accept nil arbitrary of $10 between iTt.
Paul and Chicago on all through business to
and from points on the Northern Pacillc and
Great Northern lines. Theonly road in favor
of accepting this proposition was the Wis
consin Central , which of course is always
ready to act with the Northern Pacillc. Tlio
others rejected it on the ground that $1(1 ( is
less than their duo proportion or. such through
business and decided to continue the present

the Continued Decrease.
At a recent meeting of the Heal Kitato
Owncrs's association the committee ap
pointed to look Into the trouble among tbo
local batiks nnd the fulling off In the clear
ings , reported as follows :
OMUIA. July 2.1. iTo the Board of Di
rectors of the Keal Estate Owners' Associa
tion. -Gentlemen I ! Your special committee ,
to whom was referred the matter of consid
ering the condition of the clearance house re
ports In Omaha , eeg to report :
We Hud that the decrease In bank clearings
ID caused , In larce part , by last year's crop
failure ; that from tl to a per cent decrease
Is on account of the fact that the business of
the National Bank of Commerce ( and ita cor
respondents ) docs not eo through the clear
ance house ; that n change In the rules of the
clearance house reduced somewhat the dally
ballanccs as compared with last year ; that
some of the South jjmaha business now goo *
through the c'ear.meo ' house , t > nd bankers
generally are disposed to put this line of
busmcsss through thu clearance house.
Wltou view , if possible , of reconciling the
dilToacneos existing between the National
Bank of Commerce and the clearance house
association , we called upon the otllcers of
the National Bank nf Commerce , who fur
nished your committee with thu following
communiiMtlon :
To the committee ( Messri. C. C. Chase ,
Cadet Taylor and J. S. Uibson ) unpointed by
thu advisory board of the Itoal Kstato Own
ers' association at Its tlwt meeting on Wed
nesday afternoon , May 111 Ocntlcmon : Wo
would bo glad to do anything wo can to make
the report of the Omaha bank clearings show
tlio facts. Immediately on our organization
as a national bunk a year ago we tiled an ap
plication for mombuftthlp In the clearing
house. Our application received no atten
tion , so far as wo are advised , until March 0
last , when , without any knowledge on their
part of oar condition , and without
allowing us the usual courtesy of
being present , knowing ' .ho charges , or male-
1111 : a defense or explanation , the members of
the clearing house passed a resolution by
unanimous vote , that the National B.mk of
Commerce had violated the rules of the clear
ing house and should he deprive 1 of any
privilege therein. Also at the same meeting
another resolution was "uminlin.iusly' '
nasso.1 whorein-the mcinoeM of the clean.ig
hoiso made u combination or agreement not
to extend any favorj or courteiy to tlio X.i-
tlonul Bank of Commerce In any way. At
the end of each resolution were appended the
words , "Until H is In shape to
be admitted to membership" a cun
ningly devised expression intonueu
to convey an imnrossion Injurious to
this bank , which they dared not make
In direct terms. Prior to that time wo had
been clearing through the Nebraska national
bank , and for six months prior thereto no
other i.ivor.j whatever have boon aikjd or
received by us from an.i of said bank-t , so
that there was no occasion for such action as
lar as regards the legitimate business of the
clearing houses. Immediately thereafter the
substance of said resolutions were written
by some of said banks to our nnd their cor
respondents. Another net certainly not
noecs-mry to self-protection and contrary to
legitimate eompi'ti'.ion , and which hud not
their real motives been known to our cor
respondents might have injured us. On ac
count of the animiH displayed in these and
other similar acts we cannot permit the com
mittee of the clearing house to examine our
bank or , bocoma acquainted through us with
the business of our patrons.
Wo might ud'i that the two national banks
that commenced business since the organisa
tion of thoclenrinc Imuso wore admitted with
out any examination by the cl'aring housj
committee'Vo are ready and willing to sub
mit to any exu'mnatiou by the national bank
examiner lor Nebraska , at our expanse. , pro
vided it Is agree , ! that if the report is favor
able wo shall bo admitted without any other
conditions being imposed upon us than were
imposed upon the last two banks admitted ,
The presidents of several of the banks started
in iveent years and who have encountered
several competitive met ho Is , nnd the
president of one of the old banks remarkable
for Us growth and liberal and broad
gauged policy , have e cpreised thonnolve < as
dooming this proposition fair. But wo 'will
not agree under any circumstances to abide
by rules ospeciallv proposed for our guidance
by other banks in the making of which wo
have no part.
After several psrannnl Interviews with tbo
ofllcors of the leading banking housoj , wo
hopothatan agroamont might boroiehod
which would bj s < itUfachory to all parties.
Not meeting with the suMtm antieip itoJ.wo
addressed a letter to the clearance house
committee.
To this communication no oJleial reply has
bion received , and having canvassed the
matter as fullv as possible with all concerned ,
wo bos to lay the facts before the associa
tion. In doin so wo suggest tint , naving
all the tacts before us. wo know of no further
reason why the business of the National
Bank of Commerce should not go through
the cloir.ineo house , and cannot furtlur ac
count for decroas.j in bank eloiraicm. He-

HASTINGS.
The Stnrtliiii ; Duvolopm Mil of a
Nchra.ska < iiaut.
On September 2 ! ) . 1S7 : . ' , Hastinc-s was not
upon a Nobr.MKu map. On that day the first
title to the land upon which the original
town of Hastings was platted was ( lied with
the recorder of deods.
The orlL'lnnl tract contained eighty acres.
Now there are nearly three thousand acres
of land within the corporate limits.
At that time a few people hud clustered
here , opened small stores , lumber yards and
other branches of trade. Then Hastings was
the junction of the B. ft M. and the St. Joe &
Denver City railroad.
Kallroud comp.-tition was rife nnd those
roads were not controlled by the Iowa peeler
or by any traflle association. There was a
stronir onposition nnd competition and rates
from this city to Chicago or St. Louis wcro
often lower than from Missouri river points.
Tliis competition nnd rate cutting drew a
largo irraln and lumber trade to the city.
There was no railroad on the south until the
Solomon river was crossed. There was no
railroad extending into southwestern Ne
braska and nil the heavy freighting for that
district as well as northwestern Kansas was
done via Hastings.
The territory lying south nnd southwest
of us , for 12.1 miles was tributary to this
city. The grain , hogs and cattle from this
vast area were marketed hero and from hero
lumber nnd merchandise was hauled back.
As years rolled on , the Hed Cloud branch
was built and this extended cast and west
until St. Joe and Kansas City , on thi south
east anil Denver 0:1 : tlio west , were reached.
Still Hastings continued to grow.
It was predicted that these southern lines
would curtail Hastings' trade , but the pre
diction was not verified. Instead ot a great
bulky trade Hastlncs has changed to a
higher grade trading paint.
Hastings retail merchants sell a liner and
better class ol goods than were sold by the
pioneers. Enterprising men have opened up
wholesale nnd jobbing houses and now , w.ith
all of her surrounding roads Hastings enjoys
u lart'o merchai.'tilo business.
From a Miiall village with small wocden
buildings Hastings has , In less than nineteen
years , grown to u city ot nearly 15)0 ( ) ; ) peonlo.
Handsome stone and brick blocks have taken
the place of the small wooJen structures.
The small llix''l story and a half mansions
have given way to elegant structures. The
coarse bunch i/rass , u native crass , was the
lawn grass of the early settlers. Tills has
been disp'aced ' by the liundMunost of blue
gnus lawns.
The early settler was without shade tree
or shrill ) and now bhr.do trees of almost
numberless variety line the streets and the
luwns and residences nro beautifully shaded.
ts'horo was then the blank black prnlrio is
now iiundbomo groves and parks.
The barren , uninviting village of the 70's
bus been moulded into one of the handsomest
cities in the state.
Instead of the two single lines of tmck of
thu early day wo now have four trunk line
roads with eleven diverging branches.
Instead of a way station , as It then was. it
is the divison station of two roads and the
terminus of another.
Instead of small stores with mixed stocks
of goods wo now Imvo trade palaces which
are scarcely exceeded In the west.
in the early day each house owner owned a
well , windmill or hand p'ump. Now the lin-
est waterworks plant In the state supplies us
with an abundance of the purest of water.
Then , the kerosene lump was the principal
illuminator ; now , gas , electrie and Incan
descent lights shine in every household and
guide the belated pedestrian to his home.
