THE OMAHA "DAILY "BEE : TOmUHSDAY , JANUA11Y 7 , 1807. ' TAKEN IN BY UNCLE SAMUEL Tliwartod in a Scheme Which Was Appar ently to Defraud , EDITOR OF GORDON'S ' WEEKLY ARRESTED United Blnit'M ChnrKPN "u "f " ' - ' fur Krntnliilriit I'n Worked."f I'lmix on WlilHi Worked. Shortly after noon yesterday the police ar rested S. J. Gordon , proprietor and editor of a prospective sheet , "Gordon's Weekly , " on the chni-Ko of using the United States malls for fraudulent purposes , Gordon came to this city something over a week BRO and Installed himself al uSI South Sixteenth street , on the second floor of the Her blocfc. Ho hung out a couple of slsnn and then started Into business. Ho Inserted advertisements In the dally papers offering employment to a young man on a salary or ho would glvo a share In his tmslnosa. Then ho Issued a prospectus of a weekly journal , "Gordon's Weekly , " which was to bo ilcvolcd to literature , sports , current topics , art , etc. The editor's greeting prom ised that the paper would be run on a high moral and literary scale. Gordon received over 100 answers to ho ! advortlscn'or.ts , and In response ho promised positions upon a "superior" Journal. He dcslrc-1 a personal Interview , however , with each appllcan. and his days have been filled with dates. In these Interviews ho stated that he required a cash bond for faithful performance of duty before ho would dole out a Job. Ho first struck for $100 , then lowered the amount to $50 , and made still further concessions. Up to date , however , he has hired but one employe , a school boy , William Slovers.of 3B22 Howard street'from whom he required no bond , and whom ho promised JC a week. Gordon appeared to bo on the verge of clrslng his flr.Hl contract when he was ar rested yesterday. Ho was In company with Wiley Johnson of Twenty-sixth street nt.d Capitol avenue , who was about to turni over to Gordon $15 as security In return for a Job. While the police believe that this scheme was simply one to raise money fraudulently , Gordon la charged with another. Jn his prospectus ho suited that ho was raising a fund by means of which the walla of the public school houses were to be decorated , the seats In thu school rooms upholstered and the libraries enlarged. The start was t > ald to have been made with a $100 donation from a charitable womanIn / St. Joe. In ad dition to Hi la notice In the prospectus Gor don also scut communications to school teachers regarding the scheme. It has been learned that Gordon has made no attempt to secure permission from the Hoard of Education to Introduce these re forms. After his arrest he admitted this , but stated that he Intended to get this per mission. The portofllco authorities , how ever , look upon.tho scheme M a fraud , and therefore have charged him with using the malls In order to work a fraud. WHAT HIS OFFICE HELD. After the arrest Gordon's ofllce on South Sixteenth street was scatched. A quantity of letters from applicants for positions were found , and all these were marked with the hours of appointment. Some memoranda and personal letteru were also found. The office was In charge of the office boy , Slcv- CM. Among Gordon's effects were found a couple of letters of recommendation. One purported to come from Sir Joiliua Rey nolds and was dated January 1C , 180G , from the Pally Telegraph , Fleet street , London , The communication was addressed to W. W. Hyde , former editor of the St. Louis lie- public. It speaks of Gordon * as being a brilliant youth and a graduate of Oxford university. Another letter purports to be from A. F , D. McKlnnon. D. D. , of Oxford university , and Is addressed to H. S. Clmnc of the Now York World. In It Gordon Is spoken of ns , "One of our late and moat distinguished pupils. " Both the letters arc typewritten. The memoranda contained Information about persons who wcra apparently aclon.i of nobility of England and gave accounts of their wealth and " possessions. Other memoranda gave lists of names , which arc thought to bo aliases which Gordon has used In his career. Gordon has been watched for some time by the police as a result of a letter which was received by Chief Slgwart from Sheriff Uhelm of Uellevlllc , III. This letter states that n "smooth con . man , " T. W. Young , "has escaped from the rock pile. " The sheriff also says that ho has Informacirin that the man Is In Omaha and Is endeavoring to work certain parties for $200. He writes also that mall is being forwards ! to the man In this city under the name of W. Jamlcson care of the ceneral delivery. Several letters addressed to that name have been received nt the postofflce , but no ono has called for them. The 13ellevlle | sheriff's letter also gave a description of the escaped prisoner and It was largely on the strength of this that Gordon was arrested. It tallies In every respect. Gordon Is about 28 years of age , good- looking , well dressed , English and speaVo with an English accent. All this tallies with the description. After his arrrst memoranda were found upon which the name of T. W. Young , aa the Hcllevlllo prisoner was known , was Inscribed. The sheriff also stated that the man had a brother named Charles ; G. Anderson In the penitentiary at Michigan City. 1ml. , and this address was also found In Gordon's effects. The sheriff says that the man Is wanted at Sedalla , , Mo. , , Jefferson City and Springfield and the local police will communicate with all these. Gordon denies that there was any fraud In his transaction and says that ho proposed to establish a legitimate Journal. Ho denies that ho was ever In Belleville. Ho claims to have resided for thirteen months In St. Louis and more recently In St. Joe , where ho was engaged In newspaper work. Since being In tin ? city he has been boardIng - Ing at the Mcrrlam at Twenty-fifth and Dodge streets.

An Important conference between the re ceivers of the Union Pacific railway and representatives of the Tranamlnslfislppl Ex position watt held at the Union Pacific head quarters yesterday afternoon at 3 o'clock. There were present : President S. H. If. Clark , Oliver W. Mink , E. Ellcry Anderson , John W Donne and Frederic H. Coudert , re ceivers of the Union Pacific , Judge William H , Kelly , general solicitor of the Union Pacific , X. T. Llndscy , chairman of the ex position's executive committee , and Herman Kountze. F. P. Klrkcndall , Edward Rosewater - water and William A. Paxton , directors. All the receivers expressed themselves as heartily In favor of the exposition project , which was briefly outlined by the represent atives of the exposition directory. Mr , Coudert appeared especially favorable to the cntci prise and to the support of It by the Union Pacific , Ho said hu was-thoroughly convinced that It would be beneficial to the railroad and to this section of the country. The receivers said however , that they were entirely without power to act In the matter of a subscription. They could do nothing without an order from the court. Judge Kelly stated that he had written to the trustees of numcroim Union Pacific holdings. Not nil had replied to his letters asking' their opinion. The majority of those who had replied were favorable to the ex position and to a subscription to It by the Union Pacific. It was decided that the wisest policy to pursue would be for the trustees and the olllccrs of the exposition association to ask the court for an order giving the receivers power to subscribe $25,000 , the amount re quested by the directory , toward the suc cess of the exposition. If the court author izes such an expenditure there will be nc opposition among the receivers. The feel ing that the Union Pacific might pars Intc other hands within a year caused the re ceivers to bo somewhat dubious about the outcome , of the proposition. President Clark , General Manager Dick inson and the receivers will go west to Salt Lake City this morning In a special train of .three cars. There they will attend the foreclosure sale of the Oregon Short Line and blah Northern. H was expected that Samuel Carr of the purchasing com mittee would spend the day in Omnlm. and go west with the receivers this morning , but ho passed through yesterday without stop ping.

Hi'MiiliidoiiH Drilli'ilU'll to ItPtlrlnK .AlciuloTH of ( lie Hoard. The Hoard of County Commissioners held a short session yesterday as a license board to hear evidence on the protest against the granting of a liquor license to Mary La Motto for a saloon on West Dodge street , near Dundee Place. Doth sides were repre sented by attorneys , and the first ground of protest was stated to be directed against the petition for a license. It was alleged that the petition was not signed by a' ma jority of the resident freeholders of the precinct , aa required by law. The attorneys for the protcstants asserted that there were about 250 votes cast In the precinct. The petition showed that only thirty freeholders had signed It. The attorney for Mrs. La Motte admitted that there might not be a majority of the freeholders , and asked further tlmo to Investigate. On motion of Klcrstead the protest was sustained and n license was refused. Before adjourning Commissioner Stonberg Introduced a resolution thanking Chairman Jenkins , one of the retiring members of the board , for the efficient manner In which ho had presided over the deliberations of the hoard during the past year , and expressing the b'-st wishes for his future welfare. The chairman made a speech In acknowl edgment of the courtesy of bis colleagues , after which the resolution was adopted. Mr. Jenkins refraining from voting. Commissioner Stenberg Introduced a reso lution that recited that Commissioner G. R. Williams would rctlro with that day. It con tained the following clause : "Resolved , That during a continuous serv ice of four and one-half years , we recognize In him a faithful , honest and efficient ofll- clal , whoso services have been valuable to the public , and this Is especially true In connection with the Improvement of county itads , which have received especial care and study on his part. " Mr. Williams expressed his appreciation of the kindly feelings of his colleagues In a few well chosen words , and then the resolu tion was adopted by the other four members of the board. * A The board adjourned until 2 o'clock In order that the minutes of the meeting might bo recorded for the approval of .the board.

A letter was received Tuesday by a local loan and trust company from some clients In Scotland conveying the Information that a number of Scottish capitalists would like to make some Investments In this city If dc- slrablo openings could bo found. The nego tiations have not proceeded further , but the local firm Is conflaont that the correspond ence will lead to definite results , and In any case It accepts the offer as a most en couraging Indication. Asldo from this there Is a movement on foot for tbo construction of a big auditorium and market house , A local financier Is au thority for the statement that a number of eastern capitalists are ready to make the In vestment If a satisfactory franchise can bo obtained. The matter Is being quietly worked up and a proposition will probably bo made to the city council early In the year. _ The king of pills Is Dcccham's Decclmm's Street Itnlluiiy Annual nircllon.f The nnnual meeting of the stockholders of the Oiniihu Street Rnllwny company wn held tit the genornl olllccfl , Twentieth nnil Harney streets , yesterday afternoon.

Wo do this to clean up to close out an extraordinarily largo stock of lint' suitu. Suits , such as any ono might well be proud of making , whether a custom tailor or not. There's PS much attention given to each de tail as In the finest and highest-priced tail oring In the land , and there's Jio suit here that 'Isn't worthy of the glfarantec of entire satisfaction that wo glvo with It ; the goods arc right , the makings right and the best vnluo Is given ( hat can bo had. There are a few $5 sulta , more $ S and lots of $10 , $12 , $15 , $18 , $20 , $22 and $25 suits. The last price means that It's n suit that gives you everything that a tailor charges double- 'or. 'or.Hut Hut $15.00 that's our prlco Saturday for $20.00 suits , such as tailors make for $ oO. All the $22.00 and $20.00 suits will be placed In thU lot. $10.00 Is the price placed on all the $1S Kite. Ideas , and en 111 ? * 15 lines , probably the meet popular line of sulta In the city , suits that have sold right along without any qulbblo nt this price. These go In the $10.CO lot Saturday. Tor $5.00 you get a choice of all the $12.00 cults , the $10.00 and $ S.OO lines. There nro a few $5,00 suits that ' ! s suits that we've been selling for $5. Wo can't sell them tor leas than $5 , because they Include suits that have already been marked down from higher priced lots , BO that wo could have the name of carrying suits at $5. It Is safe to say , however , that there's not a suit In the entire - tire lot that goes on sale Saturday at $5 but what Is worth anywhere from $ S to $12 ; cults that you'll pay that much for anywhere else. No matter what suit you may select next Saturday you may be sure that It Is worth easily half as much again as wo ask and often double. The frantic endeavors of some to turn the tide of buying from our great overcoat sale of the nast week has Induced us to make this frank and full statement of the suit sale about to begin. We want the public to understand thoroughly that this Is not a sa'e of goods specially Imported for the occasion , but the absolute throwing on the counters of our entire line of winter suits of whatever value to sell for $5 , $10 and $15. Ily the way , our overcoat sale has demon strated that we're cleaning house. Such overcoat selling ns has been going on hero Is without a parallel. And the public 'Is as responsible for It as wo are. People will buy and will tell where they got It. Wo guarantee the suit sale to be In every way as good. I.OCAI , COAL nn.u.Kits i.ocic HOHNS. Trouble Grow * Out of Taxing tlic llllHlllOMH. There Is a strong probability that the coal men of the city , especially the small dealers , will again lock horns with the city In the courts over the ordinance which requires coal dealers to pay an annual license before engaging In the coal business. These dealers have been holding regular meetings to decide upon a plan ot action and up to date the sentiment appears to bo In favor of fighting the ordinance. The trouble arose last year , when the city council passed an ordinance requiring all dealers to pay an annual llccnso of $40. The ordinance also required that the total amount of the license should be paid for the remaining portion of 1S3G. The latter pro vision especially aroused the animosity of the smaller dealers , who alleged that the $40 would take away all their proflU for the entire year. A number of meetings were held and It wa finally determined to test the ordinance In the courts. One of the dealers was arrested , was con victed In the police court and appealed the case to the district court , where It wns fought on the grounds of unconstltutlonnllty and also on the allegation that the license was excessive. The dealers were sustained on the latter point and the decision of the police court wns reversed. When the matter was thus settled the city council passed an other ordinance reducing the license from $10 to $20. This license was to be payable on the fliat of the year. License Inspector Hurst has served notice upon the coal dealers to pay their llccns < money Into the city treasury , but this hashed hod llttlo effect. Very few licenses ha\e been Issued , and these only to the largest dealers. Even some of the latter have not paid. This condition of affairs Is duo to the fact that the majority ot dealers arc waiting to rce what will turn up. The big dealers siy that thpy arc willing to pay the license If they arc certain thnfthe Email dealers will be compelled to do likewise. On the other hand , the small' * dealers allege that the whole license butlnc/js Is ' 'a scheme on the part of the big dealers to d'rlvo them out of business. In the last' legal fight they held that the license fee wns so great that Its effect would bp to compel them to go out of the coal business entirely , as they handled coal only ns a side line during the winter. There Is some sentiment among the small dealers In favor of paying the license If they could be certain In turn that those who peddle coal from house to house would bo compelled also to pay the license. It appears , however , that the ordinance doea not cover this class of dealers , as they have no place of business. It Is maintained by. the small dealers that 111 CEO peddlers are the agents of the big dealers. The small dealers have been able to cut down the business of the big firms considerably becaure they have been celling coal to consumers In bushel lots , which the latter cannot well do. U Is therefore said that In order to retaliate the big dealers have sent out these peddlers to break up this business by selling at a lower rate and delivering directly to the houses. It la paid that the Intent of this Is to destroy the coal business of the email fry , and that as eoon as this Is done the peddling system will he abolished. The small dealers see no way of fighting this condition If .tlicy are compelled to pay a license and therefore to slightly ralro the price of their coal , while * the peddler * are exempt and can sell still lower than they. As a consequence of this condition of affairs License Inspector Hurst Is finding difficulty In ( securing payment of licenses. Nevertheless , he Is .determined to enforce the ordinance and to arrest parties who will not take out a license. Ha made a start yesterday by swearing out n warrant , ln police court for the arrest of J. H. Marsh , who Is In business at 210 South Fourteenth street. I'oneii Hunk CHHI-H United Statoj District Attorney -Bawycr says ho hopes to take up at this term of the United States court the cases growing out of the failureof the First National bank at Ponca.

Hen * . A deal was closed Tuesday by which anew now factory will be located In Omaha. The American Chicory company , now located at Fremont and O'Neill , will occupy the buildIng - Ing on Harney street formerly occupied by the Consolidated Codec company and will employ about forty hands In converting drlct chicory Into a marketable product. The com pany will begin operations hero about Feb ruary 15. In the meantime some extensive Improvements will be made in thebuilding. . C. I ) . Oldfleld. president of the company , will move to this city and have charge of the enterprise. When the chicory la dried Its manufacture la about halt completed. The dried producl will be taken from Fremont and O'Neill and brought to the Ompha establishment , where the manufacture will be completed. It will bo put up In packages preparatory to ship ment. The new departure of the chicory company Is largely for the purpose of Intro ducing Its product to the consumers. It Is said that chicory has all the virluea possessed by coffee , without the Injurious effects , and that as soon as the people understand Its merits n large trade can be built up. As It Is the Importations from Uclglum and Ger many amount to $2,000.000 a year and the Omaha establishment will have this trade to cut Into , besides what It can build up on Its own account. Officers of the company expect that .tho chicory .Industry will assume large proportions In thin statc-dnrln'g the next few years. It la said that chicory raising Is more profitable than that of sugar beets. Twelve tons have been delivered at Fremont from a single acre and sold at prices ranging as high as $12 per ton. The cost of production per acre Is about the same as that of sugar beets. The Commercial club has been In correspondence with the American Chicory company for eomo time relative to Its loca tion In this city nml the announcement that the deal has been closed la received with much gratification by club members.

KM IIiiNliivNN Will lie Closed lii liy KM Own OlllulalN. The Omaha Savings' bank was formally turned over to tuo olllcers of that Institution yesterday by Bank Examiner Dodder. This was the result of the action ot the State Banking board at Lincoln on Tuesday , when a bond for over $2,000.000 , providing that all the debts of the bonk should be paid , was approved. The officers began the work of preparation for settlement yesterday. Four or flvo days will probably bo oc cupied In attending to arrangements pre liminary to adjustment of accounts with depositors. Vice President Bennett sa'Id ' yesterday to a Bee reporter : "Wo are now In charge of the bank , an ample bond having been accepted by the State Banking board. This U an event that wo have all along antici pated. It puts us In. a. position to straighten out matters without the expense ot a receiv ership. Wo are given four years to close up the affairs of the bank. I think there Is nothing more , to add to what has already been said , except that the action expected has taken place. Wo are now engaged in making arrangements for closing up the af fairs of the hank and for paying all of the Indebtedness. "That the real estate mortgages held by the bank arc valuable , there can bo no doubt. There Is a disposition on the part of the depoiltors to accept the e for de- poults , and where such a disposition Is shown , accounts are quickly and easily set tled. Ono woman was In here this morn ing , and after examining a mortgage took It In lieu of a deposit of $400.

Since the new city council has succeeded In electing a president , the next question that disturbs the mind of the average council man Is the disposition that Is to bo made of him In the way of committees. In one respect the make-up of the 1S97 committees will be different from what has obtained h previous years. For the first time since anyone now con nected with the city government can re member the local corporations have fallci to control the organization of the councl and arc therefore not In a position to dictate the personnel of the committees. It Is em phatically announced by the members who engineered the boom of 1'icdldent Dlngham that the corporations will be left out of con sideration entirely In the make-up of the committees. President Dlngbani himself de clines to discuss the subject. He says that he was not sunlclcntly sanguine of his clec- t on , to picparc a slate , and that he has scarcely given the matter a thought. It Is stated , however , that A. J. Lunt will hc.-u th < > committee on judiciary. The chairman ship of the committee on finance will go to Fiank J. Durkley If ho wants It. It baa been offered to him , but he does not want the job on account of the vast amount of work It Involves. He says that he has had It once , and Is willing to let some ono cist take the position this year. It Is expected , however , that ho will accept the committee If It U assigned to him. The committee on public property and buildings Is considered very desliablc , and probably either Ilur- mcster or Christie will get It. This Is ns far as anything Is known In regard to the prospective appointments. Several of Blng- ham's supporters are very anxious that Wheeler should have plats and additions , but It Is not certalnrthat the new president will choose to sllchi the veteran from the Fourth to that extent. Every day engagements are entered into , nnd marriages are made between people who have no business to be married. Wo men enter into the most serious obligation of life without the proper physical equip ment for it. When a woman marries , fihe tacitly makes the declaration that she means to become the mother of children. This declaration ought also to mean that she is physically able to perform what she under takes. The bearing of a child is all too fre quently nn injustice to both mother mid child. The woman who expects to bear in tellectual and physically healthy children , should be herself in strong and vigorous health. The organs that make her a woman should be free from any taint of disease or weakness. If they arc not , the child will liavc a bare chance for health , nnd the mother may easily make herself a weak , nervous , semi-invalid for the rest of her life. Ifemalc weakness of any kind whether he reditary or acquired may be cured by the right sort of treatment. IJr. I'ierce's 1'avor- itc Prescription in designed for the treat ment and cure of just this one class of dis eases and no other. It works in n perfectly rational way directly on the organs affected. It cleanses them of nil Impurities ; allays any inflammation that may lie jircsent and that generally is present in sickness ; restores - stores the organs to their natural , healthy , regular'action prepares them for the ac complishment of woman's greatest work , nnd if taken during gestation , the time of parturition will be comparatively safe and painless. The "Favorite Prescription " In not n cure-all , and If the ceneral syftem Is run-down , Doctor Tierce's Golden Medical Discovery should be taken In connection with the " 1'avorlte Prescrip tion. " These two medicines together have the most wonderful Influence on a woman's health. They will round out the hollows in her cheeks , bring redness to bloodless lips , and brightness to lack-hntre-eyeB.

Our shoe store has no front door , no shjw windows , no hand some fixtures , no cushioned scats , no velvet carpets , It is the least inviting , the hardest to get at , and the poorest ; lighted shoe store that we know of , and yet we sell more shoes than a great many shoe stores combined , Why is it ? Why do people go out of their way and actually in convenience themselves to buy shoes at The Nebraska ? \ There is only one reason it pays. We would like to- have nicer quarters , we would like to give people a better reception , we would like to have our shoe store more convenient , but we try to make up for its shortcomings by giving people values that make their visits worth while. Which woucT ! ybu rather do buy a genuine Goodyear welt full stock shoe for $2.50 in our basement , or pay $3.50 for it on's'omebody else's first floor ? Would it pay you to climb down a narrow stairway to save 750 on a 52.oo pair of shoes ? Would you overlook a hard seat and a coarse but clean carpet if you could buy a regular $2 50 shoe for a two dollar bill ? \ \ ould you mintl buying your shoes in a placa where the only inducements offered you were a really truly saving antTa"worth while guarantee ? If you would , The Nebraska Shoe Store will suit you to perfection. You'll forget its drawbacks and inconveniences when you get acquainted with its shoes. PATTERNS SMOKING , CKNTEK , FANCY , "WORK.
