The fourteenth annual meeting of the
shareholders of the Omaha Lorn and Uullcl-
Ing association was held In the rotunda of
The lice building last evening. The attend
ance of shareholders was unusually large ,
and a lively Interest was manifested In the
election of directors , the reports of officers
and other proceedings.
Prior to the business meeting the elec
tion of four directors was held In the ofllco
of the association , the polls being opened
nt G o'clock and closing at 8 p. in , The
directors whoso terms expired were Edward
A. 1'armaleo , T. J. Pltzmorrls , W. C. Patter-
ton and II. J. Pcnfold. They were rc-
rlectcd , receiving nearly all of the G10 votes
cast.
In the absence of President Loomls , Vlco
President Ilryson presided at the meeting
6f the shareholders , and G. M. Nattlngcr
acted as secretary. The condition of the
association , as tliown by the reports of the
officers , was decidedly nattering. Notwith
standing the severe business depression of
last year , which was particularly Injurious
to financial Institutions , the asosclatlon
wade a marked gain In receipts , In loans
and In the number of shareholders. The re
ceipts from all sources were , In round num
bers $119,000 Of this Bum $52,000 went to
withdrawing shareholders , $33,000 to bor
rowers , $1,400 ! for expenses , and $11,000
profits. The assets of the association amount
to $160,810 , represented by stock anil mort
gage loans , cash Items and real estate. A
contingent fund of $2,179 Is provided for
losses.
LAltGK FINANCIAL THANSACTIONS.
Since the organization of the Omaha as
sociation nearly fifteen years ago It has
handled $760,000 , at a net profit of $7C,000 ,
which wc's divided among the shareholders.
Shares to the number of 14.GS3 were Is
sued , U.004 withdrawn , leaving fi.TSO shares
In force at present , which arc held by 923
members. The 'net gain for last year was
7C5 shares , a remarkable showing for such
an extraordinary year as 1S9G.
A striking feature of the association's
strength Is the moderate cost of manage
ment , the expenses for last year being 2.0G
per cent of the receipts. The dividends for
the year amounted to C'/i per cent , which
Irft a goodly balance of the profits to swell
the reserve fund.
Vice President Ilryson explained at length
thu business methods of the association ,
pirtlcularly the method of making loans.
Ho showed that the loans made were only
38 per cent of the appraised value of the
property.
Secretary Nattlngcr reviewed the Inception
and development of building and loan asso
ciations throughout the country.
BETTER TIMES COMING.
Director Pltzinorris read a paper detailing
the history of the Omaha association , what
It has accomplished , the aggregate of Its
transactions and the cost of management.
In concluding he said : "The association Ins
been tested In the crucible of hard times
and the result Is gratifying. I am one of
those possessed of firm faith that we have
reached beJ rock In city and state , and that
from now on the movements will bo forward.
These of .you who can recall the conditions
that prevailed In Omaha and the west from
1872 to 1878 know , that It furnishes a par
allel for the depression of the past four
years. We had the panic of 1873 , the grass-
hoppsr plague of 1875 , followed by the re
vival that began In 1877 and continued for
twelve years. Wo had the panic of 1893 , the
drouth In 1891 and 1895 , Intensified by
financial agitation last year. True thu
strain has been severe , to many disastrous ,
yet the recuperative power which manifested
Itself so gloriously twenty years ago abides
In the- country 'today and will again respond
to the Intelligent energies of men. Wo have
our calamity howlers now as in the seven
ties. You find them on sunny corners ,
gloating over the misfortunes of their fel
lows and chortling with joy over the failure
of a bank. They recall the story of the small
boy who was remonstrated with for dragging
a dog along the sidewalk. 'Say , mister , '
replied the boy , 'this Is an ornery pup. He"
ain't worth a. durn only to sit on his tall
all day and howl. ' It Is so with the calams.
Let those who will rival the toaio ! In the
slough. The duty of live men Is to leave
yesterday In the grave and cheerfully greet
tomorrow. "
The meeting closed with a discussion of
the advisability of abolishing Initiations.
It was referred to the directors for action.

Never before In a number of years has
granulated biigar been so cheap. There Is a
great light going on between the Arbuckle
Coffee company and the sugar trust , which
seems likely to end In sugar going very low.
No doubt bsforo many days sugar will bo as
low as 3c per pound , or 35 pounds for $1.00 ,
If the war continues between them , which
seems very certain from present conditions.

ANACONDA , Mont. , Feb. 3. A strike was
inaugurated jojtohday on the Eutlc , Anaconda
& Pacific railroad by a recently orgaivizet
ur.'on ' of the employes of the road under the
lltio of a protective association. The cause o
the strike xvas the discharge of Yardtnastcr
J. W. Corrlgan at Hooker , the company al
leges , for Insubordination , and the striken
assert It Is to make way for a favorite ol
Superintendent McCabe. The association
Monday night Issued an ultimatum to Man
ager M. Donahoo that unUss Corrlgan xvas
reinstated by Tuesday noon a strike xvouh
result. They xvero told that no man who
left the employ of the company and refusci
to xvorlq xvlieu called upon xvould bo allowed
to resume work and that , they might con
sider themselves by that refusal to bo dis
charged. The men xvho quit are In all de
partments , switchmen and brakcmcn mainly.
The engineers and firemen voted last evening
to remain on duty and said they had no
grievance. Passenger trains ran today on
tlmo and freight was hauled. Should the tie-
up bo n success probably 10,000 men In .Mon
tana xvould bo throxvn out of employment
The road hauls ere from the Anaconda mine
In Butte to the smelters In this city. The
coal mines at Belt , which employ 1,000 men
were ordered to suspend xvork for ten days
and preparations for filling the smelters xvero
In progress , and the lumber department at
Hamilton xvlll also bo closed. There are
probably 0,000 men In the mines nnd smelt
ers alone. The situation Is very critical
but Manager Donahoo has advertised for men
and stated last night that ho thought ho
xvould bo able to keep the road running.
CLOSING UP NAVIGATION I1KAI.

Control of the Coiiiiiimy.
NEW YORK , Feb. 3. Members of the old
Oregon Railroad & Navigation company sail
they knew an announcement had been made
by the Berlin committee , but xvhat that an
nouncement xvas they did not knoxv untl
they saxv the above dispatch. They polntci
out that $3,000,000 of stock mentioned therein
had not bocn Issued to the committee am
that amount could not bo sufficient to control -
, trol the company. The company xvas doing
business with the three transpacific compa
nies , viz : The Northern Pacific , the Union
Pacific and the Great Northern , and o
course the management of the company re
alized that to remain In harmony with those
three railroad corporations would be de
sirable. Membeis of the Northern Pacific
syndicate uald they did not know xvho xvero
the purchasers of the large block of se
curities of that company heM by the syn
dicate , which had been sold by J. P. Mor
gan. They expect to close up the xvholc
business of the syndicate In 'txvo or three
days. The members this morning receive1
notice from the managers , calling upon then
to turn In their pro rata share of 100,00 (
shares of Northern Pacific common and 5,000
shares of preferred stock.
Commenting on the foregoing the Evening
Post says : "Capitalists identified xvith the
Northern Pacific Rallxvay company , members
of the underwriting syndicate and reorgani
zation commute as well as others connected
xvlth the Oregon Railway & Navigation com
pany , frankly admitted today that a large
block of stock of the last-named company
had bsen purchased from Gorman holders
They sa'ld ' that the stock so purchased , to
gether -with that the purchasers already held
glvo them ( the new oxxiners of the stock ]
control of the Oregon Railway & Navigation
company and Insure Its being * maintained as
independent property , and operated in har
monious relations with the Northern Pacific ,
the Great Northern pnd Union Pacific rail
roads. All the members of the $40,000,000
syndicate which underwrote the securities
of the noxv Northern Pacific company heart
ily approve of the transactions. That syndi
cate Is about to be closed up and the mem
bers now only axxalt the account thcreol
from Mr. Morgan. A member of the syndi
cate said It has now everything In their
hands , and thought tht y could sell $5,000.000
at good prices. The syndicate xvlll not a
profit of about 7 per cent , on the Investment.
NEW YORK , Feb. 3. A special cable

WASHINGTON , Feb. 3. The house com
mittee on Pacific railroads held a conference
today xvlth Attorney General Harmon on the
Harrison bill for a commission to settle the
Pacific railioad question. The attorney gen
eral urged that broader authority should be
given hU department to deal xvlth the matter.
The committee adjourned until Monday on
the representation of Representative Hubbard
of Missouri that parties stood ready to make
the government a better offer for the Union
Paclfio thart the ono made by the Now York
syndicate.
Mr. Hubbard declined to say xvho these
parties xvero , more than that they represent
railroads xvlth terminals at St. Louts and
other central points , xvho desired to estab
lish a through system. They xvould offer , ho
bald , $55,000,000 in cash ( $10,000,000 more than
the offer of the New York syndicate ) , to
clear the first mortgage and pay part of the
government debt and xvould refund the re
mainder at 3 per cent.
The most Important statement made by the
attorney general xvas that the pending set
tlement xvlth the Union Pacific xvould prob
ably be effected before the adjournment of
the summer term of the United States courts.
Ho suggesled certain changes In the Harri
son bill , one of them that the commission be
authorized to accept any offer to sell the
government's Interest and title to the Pacific
railroads. Mr. Harrison has prepared an
amendment to cover this point.
Mr , Harmon alee said that no commission
Uiould bo restricted by the establishment of
minimum prices for settlements. He did not
bollovo a mixed commission , composed partly
of private citizens and partly of cabinet of
ficers , xvas practical. Ho suggested that a
commission should bo empowered to employ
expert accountants and railroad experts. The
authority of the executive branch of the
government to make a settlement under ex
isting law , which Is limited to foreclosure
proceedings , ho said , was Inadequate and for
this reason the establishment of a commis
sion xvhlch xvould Include the attorney gen
eral xvas desirable.

"ALBANY. N. Y. , Feb. 1 , 1897. Hon.
James B. Sherman , ' House of Representa
tives , Washington : Dear Sir I would
bo glad to hhvo you fdvor a bill now before
congress , recommended by the Interstate
Commerce commission , to protect the public
as well as the railroads In suppressing ticket
scalping. In behalf ot the National Educa
tional association , the largest educational
body In the world , of xxhlch I have the
honor to bo president. I urco you Ic assist
Mr. B. D. Caldwcll , chairman of the Western
Passenger association , In his efforts to pre
sent this measure. For many years the Na-
tlotril Educational association has been able
to obtain from the various trunk line asso
ciations favornblo rates to Its annual meet
ings , xvhlch nro attended by many thou
sands of the teachers of this country. Our
principal difficulty has been to prevent tlckel
scalping , and In spite of all our efforts In
connection xvlth the officers ot the paepon-
ger association , xve have had much trouble
In this direction. If this trouble could 1 > 3
removed , the passenger association wouli'
never hsMtnto to glvo the teachers of the
natlon-il association as favorable rates as
are given to any other organization. If you
can find It ctnslatcnt to glvo your support
to this mciMirc , I believe you xvlll be doing
a valuable service to the teachers of the
nation nnd xvlll prevent a cause of much
Injustice and Irregularity.

The xx-ealher reports of the Omaha roads
yesterday showed that cooler temperature
and clearing weather prevailed throughout
the eastern and central portions of Nebraska
and Kansas. West of Sidney It was raining
yesterday , and in Wyoming and Idaho
there xvas snow.
The txvo Pullman sleepers that xvere dam
aged by a wreck on the Union Pacific at
Tlo Siding , Wyo. , last xx'eek have been
brought Into the local shops of the
Union Pacific for repair * . It is estimated
that It xvlll cost $1,000 a car to put thorn In
as gooJ condition as they were before the
accident occurred.
Messrs. Scott of the Union Pacific , Fred
Francis of the B. & M. , and Storck of the
Elkhovn have gone to Chicago to attend the
quarterly meeting of the xvestern rate
clorks. The transmlssourl westbound rote
sheet and the Nebraska rate sheet xvlll be

Pratt has been appointed manager of eating
houses on tha Missouri Pacific rallxvay , St.
Loula , Iron Mountain & Southern railway p.nd

The reduced rates on grain , xvhlch xvero
made by the eastern roads some time since
xvlth the object of stimulating traffic In
ijraln eastbound from Chicago , failed to
bring about the condition desired. The cast-
bound shipments from Chicago last week
xvoro G9.G3S tons , against 71,487 for the pre
ceding \v3elt and 70,262 for the corresponding
xveck of last year.
The report that J. J. Hill of. the Great
Northern Is to have an Important voice in
the affairs of the Northern Pacific road Is
again going the rounds. This tlmo the story
Is that Mr. Hill has secured or xvlll sccuro
sufficient of the securities of the Northern
Pacific to prevent all chance of war between
It and the Great Northern by his influence ,
although It Is said he xvlll not have any
controlling Interest In the Northern Pacific.

lemnatlon on the part of some of the

of the store said It v..3 difficult to tell which
vcro and xvhlch xvero not department stores ,
t was a question of haxv many departments

LUCKY
NUMBERS.
This is good news for men who wear portly waist *
bands , 38,40,42 inches arc the lucky measurements.
We have something like 500 pants of these sizes which
we want to get rid of , To clean them out quickly we
have marked the bulk of them $1.75 a pair and the
balance § 2,00 and $2.50. Now , then , what arc they ?
Plain and fancy cassimeres , fancy worsteds , and plain
cheviots goodi , which in the regular way would cost
you double , and be worth it. They are pants that are
left over from winter suits of this season's selling , and
like as not you'll find a pair to match the coat and vest
you're wearing. Our regular suit pant sale is omitted ,
this season for the very good reason that we did'nt
have enough suit pants on hand to make it an object.
We might have made a flurry in the store and an extra -
tra interest in the papers , but we couldn't satisfy all
that would come and that's the motive of every special
sale at The Nebraska. This Big Pants Sale is no ex
ception.
