The splendors of Mr. Louis Menage , the
Minneapolis plunger , In his palmy days as a
financial Napoleon , appear to gloss his sub-
cqiicnt downfall and disgrace. Minor Cor-
Elcaus are ready to strlKo his pace , provided
outsiders supply the inspiration.
Circulars marked "private and confiden
tial" hav.o reached Omaha Inviting secreta
ries and directors of building and loan asso

'Build Ing-Soclctics Investment comoany
The concern is organized under the laws
of New Jersey , where trusts abide and chi
merical schemes have a , haven , but for some
reason unexplained In the circulars Minno

With Now Jersey laws for shelter and the
Falls City as nn operating point the promo

which amount to a cash payment of $72 ,
This Includes ton shares of common stock

hare is exacted for the fonr.er und $3 for
the latter. After 100 secretaries and direa
tors have stopped up to the wicket , with a
total of $700 , the company then proposes to
lot the general public into its confidence and
unload 7,050 common shares. This would
furnish working caplta'l besides monthly ln <
BtJllments of 51 per share for nlnoty-six
months. The bait has un additional coat o'

Its dinicultlcs and contentions with tnc post-
ofllco authorities of the federal government. "
This statement , the Chicago Tribune de
clares , is made in the face of the fact that
indictments are still hanging over its officers
in the federal court , charging them with
using the mails for the purpose of conductIng -
Ing a lottery , and that District Attorney
Miichrist says that the cases will bo called
within two weeks and actively prosecuted.
President AicDonald of the company is
pleased to call the prooosed change in the
"multiple bond" plan a "compromise with
the government. " In support of this claim
the officers of the company are showing
copies of letters alleged to have been writ
ten by John L. Thomas , assistant attorney
general of the United States , which details
the points in which the present plan is in
violation of the anti-lottery statute. Presl-
idcnt McDonald goes so far hs to say that
"tho assistant attorney general really la-
dorses the plan.
A Fabrication.
A dispatch from Washington to the
Tribuuo llatly contradicts the claim and
says : ' -Tlicro has' been only one opinion
given by Assistant Attorney General
Thomas of the Postofllco department re
garding the Guarantee Investment company
and that declared the institution a lottery
and forbade the delivery of money orders or
postal notes to the concern. Ho has nothing
to do with the indictments in the federal
courts , that matter being wholly within the
Jurisdiction'of the district attorney under
instructions from the Department of Jusvico.
Mr. Thomas says these concerns will con
trive and twist in every conceivable way
any opinion that may bo given by a law
oftlcer to lurthor their own ends , In support -
port of this ho submitted a clipping from a
newspaper In which it is stated that the
Guarantee Investment company instituted
the present suit against itself with a view
to malting it a test case. Nothing of the
Itind over occurred within his rocollecUon
and ho has steadfastly ruled nil such cor
porations to bo swindlers and amendable to
the law against promoting lotteries. As
the law oillccr of the Postolllco department
it Is merely his duty to decide cases
scheduledto him by the postal authorities
through tlio postmaster general and ho
docs not conduct prosecutions in district or
other courts. "
"Inspector Stuart of the postal secret
servicesaid _ President McDonald , "thor-
ougly Investigated our company and has re
ported that all our business methods are
straightforward and correct. "
"President .McDonald has no right to
make- such a statement , " said Inspector.
Stuart , "I did make an investigation , but
my report went { o Washington and ho has
no authority to say that It commends his
business method ] , My report does point
out several particulars in which 1 llnd
that the methods of the company are in
violation pf the anti-lottery statute. "
Immediately after the oftleials were in
dicted tt largo number of Chicago dupes
brought suit to recover the amounts paid In ,
When the cases were called In court they
were dismissed , the company having settled
and avoided un exposure that might result
in criminal prosecution , under the state law.
1'luckeil Consecutively.
The abandonment of the multiple scheme
underpressure of the national government
docs not galvanize bond companies as legiti
mate enterprises. The element of chance ,
the chief source of life , is removed , leaving
them with a very weak peg to bang a sucker
on , With the lottery feature cut out , the
bond promoters are face to face with the
question whether tlio supply of fools is sufli-
cient to Justify existence. It must bo ro-
inemhercd that the promoters' rake-off
ranges ftvm 1to 25 per cent. If the bonds

Western Union has 740,000 miles of wire.
London has an electric underground road.
Undo Sam has Issued 14,000 electrical

A pretty idea has been worked out in a re
cent device for the adornment of a suriimcr
ball room. This consists In the freezing of
incandescent lamps into largo and orna-
moutally-shapcd blocks of ico. In this way
the double purpose of creating coolness and
light is served.
Nowadays it Is a frequent occurrence to
see an electrical plant installed at n few
hours' notice In a mill or factory that has
Jogged along with steam or water as its mo
tive power for a quarter or a half a century ,
and the change always means quicker work
and cheaper production , j
Ono of the most interesting exhibits of
the Electrical building at the World's fair
was a patent doorway , which opens auto
matically as ono approaches it aud closes
again after the entrance has been made.
This Is accomplished by moans of a mat on
either side of the door , which starts the
electrical machinery ns ono stops on it.
An electric locomotive has been built in
Franco which carries a 500-horso power sta
tionary &team engine. This runs a dynamo
electric machine , which generates the cur
rent applied to.the electric motors mounted
on the driving axles , That Is to say , instead
of using the mechanical energy directly it is
converted into electrical , and then into me
chanical energy ,
An experiment with two bars of Iron
separated by a layer of charcoal and sub-
looted to a current of 55 amperes at 5 volts
has resulted In ono bar , the cathode , being
converted into steel on the side next the
charcoal , while the other bar , the anode , re-
malncd. unaffected. This was after three
hours of heating under the current , and is
ono of the series of experiments carried out
recently by M. Gamier which nro liicolv to
lead to better understanding of the nrincl-
pies underlying the process of converting
Iron into steel. b
A largo electric locomotive is being built
from plans prepared by. Sprague , Duncan &
Hutchlnson , limited , for experimental work
inhandling heavy freight trains nt low
speeds. It Is by far the largest locomotive
of its kind yet designed with any proba
bility of being actually used. It is now
nearly completed , part of the
work having been done In the
Baldwin Locomotlvo works at Phila
delphia , and part at the shops ot the Westinghouse -
inghouso Electrical and Manufacturing com
pany. There nro four pairs of driving
wheels under the motor , and these form its
only rolling gear , Each wheel is fifty-six
Inches In diameter , and the first and last
pair are fringed , The motors are four in
number , otio for each axle. The armatures
are. mounted the axles
on and the field mac-
nets in such n manner that their weight
comes on the Journals through the pedestal
boxes , No springs are used in mounting the
motors , in which respect the locomotive dif
fers from the typo now being built for the
Baltimore & Ohio road. Another point of
difference Is in the use of coupling rods on
the now locomotive , uniting all the wheels
so as to give u. rigid wheel bass of fifteen
feet. The locomotive is designed to exert a
drawbar pull of 80,000 pounds and to have a
speed of thirty-llvo miles an hour , Us total
weight , when completed , is expected to bo
about 120,000 , pounds.

Harried 'Moil Compound to Compote

If any ono thinks it is an easy task to ob
tain a position during these hard times ho
only needs to make the attempt to bo
speedily undeceived. The writer has re
cently had some queer experiences in tnis
direction.
There Is ono aggravating feature about
the business If the applicant for work bo a
single man , and that h the oft-repeated
declaration that because you're unmarried
you can get along all right. People seem to
overlook the fact that If a s > ingle man has
not a wife to maintain ho has at least a
stomach which needs filling.
The number of men of all kinds of busi
nesses and professions that are seeking em
ployment In Omaha would astonish some
people , and that they are not of the class
who would not accept work If they were
offered it Is attested by the largo crowd
that gathered at Blonde street some months
ago when the city nado a'eall for men to do
shoveling. Any ono who will take the
trouble to Investigate will find any number
of honest , capable and industrious men who
are seeking work or filling some very menial
occupation at low wages , It would take up
too much space to .enumerate- alt the cases
that came under the writer's observation ,
but a few instances might be given.
There is n very competent bookkeeper
who is working in a Farnam street store for
1 per week , with , however , the privilege of
sleeping in the store. Then there
is a manufacturing concern which was
until very recently paying -stationary en
gineer the m.aghiicent ! sum of $7 per week.
lie Is a married man and has a family to
support. Then there are quite a number
who are working for thoir- board and sleep
ing accommodations.
rieuru Out by Apliearanctii.
It is remarkable how particular some of
the people have grown during these hard
times. The other day n man sought employ
ment of a contractor to drive a team of
mules , but ho was refused on the grounds
that ho was not smart appearing enough In
his dress. The man fixed himself up as well
au ho could aud made application to another
contractor for a Job. and was told that ho
looked too smoothly dressed to bo any good
for hard work. A young mau who recently
called on a Druggist to ask for work
was told that a respectably attired man llko
him would not bo out of a Job U thcro was
not something wrong with him , and so ho
was not engaged in spue of the possession of
good re-commendations.
American * KeoU Kat Apply.
Another remarkable objection that was
raised to one man was the fact that ho was
born in America , and this objection ema
nated from an American. The individual
kept a hotel , and even when the applicant
urged that while ho was born In this coun
try his father was an Irishman , it did not
help him. Ho was told that u' foreigner
would work cheaper , and so the nutlvo stood
no show , Ono liberal hearted Individual
offered to engage n man if ho would clean
hort > cs and do chores around the house for
his board and sleep in a filthy basement.
The hours of labor wore from early dawn
till late at Bight aud no pay whatever.
Even this miserable Job was eagerly com
peted for.

employment ho finds that ho is under the
surveillance .of the police , who Judge a man
largely by the clothes do wears. If ho is un
fortunate enough to bo very shabbily attired
ho will bo stopped and questioned by the
not too Intelligent members ot the force , who
will put him through an examination , and In
many cases if ho is just from the rural dis
tricts and unsuspecting ho will bo run in ,
but if a regular prolcsslonal ho will gener
ally bo able to give the police a good song
and dance and will be permitted to go on his
wav.
The city is full of clerks asd people
who have followed occupations of a
clerical nature out of employment. It is
very hard indeed for these men to obtain a
Job at nil. Having become shabby as re
gards their clothes they make an attempt to
find work of a harder kind and in nine cases
out of ten they are rejected because their
hands are too soft and there are too many
men used to hard work seeking cmployricnt.
It Is a favorlto test with the so-called de
tectives of the city to feel a man's hands to
find out whether ho Is honest in his state
ment that ho is looking for work. An Irish
man told ono of these people that if they
would only examine- his feet they could find
evidence of how hard ho had been tramping
throughout the city In quest of work.
Women as Competitors.
Men seeking clerical positions are con
stantly running across fcmalo competitors ,
who may bo termed the Chinese of the
clerical profcssipns. They will work r o
cheap that it Is in many cases impossible
tor the men co compete against them. It Is
much to bo deplored , but , nevertheless , is
true that right in this city the employment
of so many females as btonographers and
bookkeepers has had the tendency to lower
wages for those engaged In those occupa
tions , and In not a few cases a woman is
preferred , because she gener.illy only has
herself to Keep and In many cases
lives at homo and will there
fore toil for starvation wages
without Kicking , whereas employers think If
they hire a man at such low wages and ho
has u family to support ho may be dissatis
fied with $0 or $7 a week ,
The fact Is in almost all lines of business
there are more workers in the city than are
needed , and the result is that oven the most
menial Jobs are eagerly scrambled for. If
anyone doubts this lot him advertise fora
dishwasher or a shpvclor and ECO what a
number will apply for the position. The
writer and a number of others with whom
ho Is personally acquainted have literally
ransacked the city for any kind of iv Job , but
without success.
In no end of cases when a man applies for
work ho Is told that the employer has moro
help than ho needs , but will try und not dis
charge any if possible , as the winter is com
ing on.
Cheap J.odelnj ; Houiei Uromlcil ,
All the very cheap and extremely nasty
lodging houses are crotrdcd with unfortunate
nate- people that cannot in some cases got
the required 10 or IS cents to pay for their
bed and hayo to stand the lodging house
keeper off.
Sonr.o of the employers of labor , taking ad
vantage of the hard times , will offer a man
a Job if ho will work for less than the party
they have already. Only the other day u
mail wtis offered 113 a month to assist in a
bakery if ho would consent to taito the place
then occupied by n man getting $15. Men
who do not belong to unions have to accept
almost anything.
Anil Think They Are Generous.
gomoof the religious people , or rather
self-styled religious people , have queer no
tions of what a man's labor is worth. The
other day a lady offered a man 75 cents for a
hard day's work , moving furniture , am ) ho
had to provide himself with meals. Another
benevolent lady wanted a strong , able-bodied
man to work for a few hours u day and was
willing to pav 10 cents per hour , A third

had walked eight blocks to the Jou and car

But the place that Is besieged by people
out of work Is Rescue hall. There Is a mis
taken idea pro'-alent regarding this
placo. The general public seem
to think that this place gives
free accommodations in the shape of board
and lodging for those who need it , but the
fact is the funds are not aufilciont for that
purpose , as the institution is already over
head and cars in debt , owing to the fact that
those who.subscribed their names to largo
sums of money have In many cases failed to
keep their promises , and unless the manage
ment receives better support frjm thopublic
and the churches it will have to give up the
carrying on of this laudable work.
Thcro is a wood yard run under the
management of the Associated Charities ,
which gives employment to some of the men
who are thus enabled to earn Just
about enough to pay foi1 their
board . and lodging , but they
cannot always do this , as the wood yard only
needs a limited number of men. Ono way
the public might help the work alone is by a
liberal patronage of the wood yard , and also
by sending cast oft clothing to the Kcscuo
hall , and by making application for- help
through the hall's employment bureau. The
gentlemen in charge of the hall. vU : the
superintendent , Ifov. A. W. Clark , the
assistant superintendent , Mr. O. H. Hleh-
ards and Dr. G. W. Hyan , are all eminently
fitted for their several duties , and djvoting
all their time to it , but what is needed is
moro money if the work is to bo continued
this winter. Many meals and sleeping ac
commodations have been furnished cratls in
the past , but It is very evident that without
financial aid from the public the work cannot -
not bo long continued. It will be a calamity
to Omaha if this noble Institution is allowed
to go under for want of support.
