inn certain Instructions given by the com
mission at Its last meeting. The commlsslca
found that it had room In various nooks and
corners of the rotunda of the Nebraska buildIng -
Ing for twenty desks , cad it was decided , to
allow twenty of the secret fraternal benefit
societies ot ( tie state to use these locations
for headquarters , each society to furnish a
desk and such other furnishings as they de
sired. The secretary was Instructed to
notify each of these societies of thU action
and 'nfccm them that space would be as
signed to those applying as Iccig as the space
lasted. Thlo Instruction Is the cause of the
secretary's uneasiness. Ho has sent notices
In all of the societies he could ttilnk of or
learn about , but Is afraid some of them may
have been overlooked and feel sllglitcd at not
receiving a personal notice that the apace
may be hart for the asking. Ho has received
tea applications , leaving ten spaces which
have not besn assigned or applied for. He
wishes all fraternal benefit societies to under
stand that they are welcome to room In the
bulldtag for a desk to use as headquarters ,
but appllcatlens must be made to him in

Interchanged yesterday , explains Itself :
LINCOLN , .March 31. Victor Uowwatcr ,
Omaha : Judgs Tlbbetts will bo In Omaha
tomorrow to hear charges lu pollco commls-
filon case. 1'leaec bo ready.
SILAS A. HOLCOMD.
OMAHA , March 31 , 1S98. Hon. Silas A.
Holcomb , Governor of Nebraska : Sir I
have your telegram of this date Informing
me that Judge Tlbbetta will bo In Omaha
Friday to hear charges In the police com
mission case and asking mo to bo ready. I
have also had my attention called to the
statement given out to the press from your
office announcing that you were too much
engaged with official duties to make the In
quiry demanded by the charges filed by me
salnst Police Commissioners Kobert 13. Leo
lerdman , Jamco H. I'eabody and D. D.
rcgory , that for this reason you Intended
o delegate that duty to a referee , and that
ou would require the parties tothe con-
roversy to bear the expenses thus Incurred.
I respectfully beg to bring to your notice
lat part of section 168 of the act providing
or the
appointment and
removal of pollco
ommlseloners In cities of the metropolitan
lass , which reads as follows :
"Any citizen of the city may fllo with THE
GOVEHNOR written charges against any
commissioner he may deem guilty of mis
conduct In office , and THE GOVERNOR
' shall within a reasonable time Investigate
'the same upon testimony to bo produced
I1EFORE HIM and shall make such finding
as to the truth or falrity of such charges
' as In HIS JUDGEMENT such testimony
'warrants , and in case such charges shall
|
' the vacancy thus caused. THE GOV-
'EHNOR when pitting to Investigate
'
'charges preferred against a commissioner
'shall ' have full power and authority to
compel the attendance of witnesses and the
production of books and papers , and HE
' may hold such meeting at the most con-
'vcnlcnt place In the state for the purpose
of such Investigation. "
Your excellency Is respectfully reminded
hat the law says nothing whatever of a
earing on these charges through a substl-
ute. On the contrary , It expressly Imposes
POM the governor the duty to Investigate
heso charges himself upon testimony to be
iroduced before him ( not a referee ) , and to
cmovo the Impeached commissioners In case
ho testimony sustains the charges. When
Ittlng to make such investigation the gov-
rnor has the power to compel the attend-
nco of witnesses and the production ot
looks and papers. There la o authority ot
aw by which the governor can delegate this
power to a referee and no hearing by
ofcrce can comply with the provisions of
he law.
If the governor of Nebraska is over-
mrJened with official duties , It is much to
10 deplored. That , however , cannot relieve
ilm of any duty imposed by law and his
luty to make this Investigation personally
s as Imperative as his duty to appoint the
ommissloners or , for that matter , any other
duty by law Imposed upon him.
As to tho'taxing of the costs upon the
nartlei3 to the controversy there Iti no war-
ant of law
by which thla penalty can bo
nfllcted. There is no reason why any/pri
vate citizen should be made to pay tbo fec.i
of a referee ( especially when , the goverac-r
s drawing a salary from the ctato treasury
'or performing the service ) simply because
le , as a citizen has taken upon himself the
mpleasant task of righting the wcongo In
flicted upon the community through the"offi
cial misconduct of your appointees. As
well might the victim of robbers bo called
upcn to pay the costs ot prosecuting the
Timlnals. As well might the mover of an
mpeachment resolution In the legislature
10 called on to pay out ol his own pocket *
ho expense of the Impeachment trial. In
view of the fact that you have a reticle of
stenographers and clerks provided at the
otate's expense , who are doubtless competent
o attend to all the clerical work entailed
iy this proceeding , and also am allowance
for the contingentexpenses of your office , I
see no reason why there should bo any qucs-
lon raise J upon this point.
If I may be permitted the suggestion , It .
corns to mo that you fall altogether to
realize the sevloutiices of the oltuatlon aud'-
he gravity of the charges preferred before
you. Cltlzena of Omaha are being nightly
waylaid , slugged and robbed by criminals
with whom your police authorities are ut-
erly Incompetent to cope , The homes anl
justness houses of this community are con
stantly exposed to raldtf of burglars and at
hlcvcs unmolested by the pollco officers.
Strangers are regularly lured Into notorious
dives and dens , there to bo swindled or
crooks who despoil them , and If they com
plain , the victims instead ot the crimlna's
arrested and thrown Into Jail. Womiti
afraid to venture on the street ? after
dark and men who must be out at night arc a
arming themselves for self protection. Every
day's continuance of this state of affairs
of
simply adds to the already formidable list
evils for which your police commissioners ,
through them you as their creator , arc
held respciielblo by thepeople. .
I therefore respectfully give notice that I
not recognize the authority of any ref
or substitute In the Impeachment pro- for
beedlngs I have Instituted , but renew the
request once made In my petition "that a
time- and place be appointed when the gov
ernor shall hear , at Omaha , testimony as to N.
truth or falsity of these charges , sup
ported by the accompanying affidavits , and
ho will. It said chargeo are sustained all
the evidence , at once remove the said Rob
E. Leo Hordman , James H. Peabody and
D. Gregory , from the office of police com.
mlssloners of the city of Omaha , as required
section 1GS ot the act authorizing their
appotatment and removal. "

Captain Charles O'Ccnncll of Grand En
campment , Wyo. , Is In Omaha on his return
from a visit to New York. Last summer
Captain O'Connell , having heard of gold
finds In southern Wyoming , went to the
Grand Encampment river and found the ere
83 rich that ho laid out the toun site of
Grand Encampment and started a town
which has been attracting gold hunters from
all parts of the country. Speaking of the
mineral wealth of Wyoming , Captain O'Con
nell paid : "There has formerly been a mis
taken Idea that paying dirt and ore were to
bo found only In Colorado and that with the
Colorado boundary line the mineral belt
stopped. Wyoming , In my opinion , Is richer
In mineral than Colorado and Is practically
undeveloped. U is a poor man's mining
country. Claims that would bring a fabu
lous prlco In Colorado can bo had in Wy6-
mlng for almost nothing. The mineral belt
extends through the entire width of Wyo
ming and Is much like the mining district In
Colorado and Montana ; In fact It Is a part
of the rich mineral range which runs
through New Mexico and on north Into
Colorado , Wyoming and Montana. Rich
finds have been made at Grand Encampment
and then there arc other rich mines In the
Sweitwater country which Is north of the
Union Pacific. Grand Encampment Is about
sixty miles south of Rawllns and can 1 > c
reached by taking the Union Pacific to Raw
llns and then south by stage. The town
has more than 100. pqople In it now , and
there would be more if there were any ac
commodations for them. A , hotel and a great
many business buildings arc In course of
construction and It Is thought that there
will bo 10,000 people _ in the camp before
snow files. The belt along the Grand En
campment liver which has been staked oft
in claims BO far Is about twenty miles long
and eight miles wide. The minerals found
are chiefly gold and copper. Cobalt Is also
found In paying quantities. This mineral is
used In decorating dlehes with rich blue
figures and has never fieen found anywhere
else In America. It Is valuable , being worth
about Jl.CO a pound. A stamp mill was set
up in the camp last January nnd more mills
will bo put in operation as soon as the ma
terials can be secured. Four sawmills are
working all the time getting out lumber and
are not able to fill half their orders , eo
great IK the demand for-lumber. Grauil En
campment river Is used extensively for irri
gating purposes and waters fine farming
land that Is cultivated by a largo colony of
Dunkards. Fruit and vegetables are cheap
and living Is not expensive as It has brcu
In other gold campa. The miners who have
taken up claims are mostly from Cripple
Creek and Leadvillc and they all think
Grand Encampment richer < han any of the
Colorado camps. "

BUSINESS IN REAL ESTATE
Very General Hovival Js Noted Among the
Omaha DcakrJ.
GOOD REQUEST FOR RESIDENCE PROPERTY
Inquiry for Dvxlrnlilc Sinnll
for lloiiii'M HUM illcconio n I'on-
turn of tluTriiilr llciilill
IN ( iooil ,
The Omaha real ratato market has not
been In as good condition for fovcral years
au It Is at present. Buyers are beginning
to inquire for properties of most all kinds.
G cod cottages In drslmblo locations are meat
In demand. The rlsu In rent , duo to a general
crul revival i of business has
, put people Into
the n of buying. While tents were low
It waa cheaper to rent than own property.
At thlu time latit year , dealers In real estate )
say , ( hero uus absolutely no demand for
any kind 1 of real estate , but now every diy
bring buyers for residence property. Inquiries
qulrli concerning farm lands are coming by
thu hundred I from eastern people \vho are
thinking of locating In Nebraska. There Is
some demand for business buildings , and
the scarcity of moderate-priced residence
piopertlcs In good localities Is creating some
naiket for city lota.
All the real estate and rental agencies In
ho city give the same report. Since last
Kear the Improvement In real estate values
MS been \ .very noticeable. They report that
people have money now and do not drag
along In paying their rent. One agency ha a
900 tenants on its list , and It reports that
ho receipts i from thu properties under Its
chart are tnlca ao great this year as they
vcro in 1897. Out of this list ot 900 It baa
tot a single delinquent tenant. This agency
ias made an increase of from 10 to 20 per
cent In rents , so It can be seen that a much
greater number of houses Is rented than last
rcar and the rents are paid more promptly.
The only kind ot houwo for rent now are
old houses that are out of repair and
agencies turn away many prospective tentcro
every day.
It has been said by many persons that the
) cople who have come to Omaha recently
lave come to stay only through the exposl-
" lon. The rental agencies uro of a very dlf-
"erent opinion. They always find out con
siderable about applicants before renting to
them , and are In a position to know the
nature of the new conms. They say that
inly a small per cent of the people who
lave conic In during the last year arc
.i.inslents. ' .
.Maiy | of these people are re-
.Ired farmers and people from smaller towns
who have come hero because of superior ad-
rantagrs. The exposition has doubtless been
: lie means of attracting their attention to
Jmaha , but they have not come here to stay
'or ono season only.
Ono of the oldest real estate men In Omaha
expressed himself as being confident that
real estate values were fast getting back to
vhcro they were ten years ago. He ejld
urther that the exposition would add ma
terially to property values , because the ex
osition Is coming at n time when values
are on the rise and cannot help but give them
an additional lift. In Chicago the exposl-
.lon came at a time when a great depression
ivas threatening the country and the panic
struck the boom which had been started by
.ho exposition and made the fall in values
tremendous. In Omaha there Is no boom ,
ho values are at bedrock and the real estate
market is so essentially a buyer's market
that It can bo
reasonably expected that a
gieat deal of caslprn money will bo in-
cstcd.

"The demand for local telephone service
furnishes a very accurate Indication ot the
volume of general business , " said General
Manager" Lane of the Nebraska Telephone
: ompany yesterday. "During 1S96 , when
business was very light In all lines , we lost
telephones. In 1S97 business began to pick
up and applications for new telephones came
In In proportion. But this month the de
mand for additional telephone service has
been unprecedented. We have already re
ceived orders for over ninety now telephones
since March 1. These are very largely from
new business establishments that have been
opened and the number Is a positive indica
tion that local business has Increased during
the last two months. "

John T. Brown of Connorsvllle , Ind. , who

interest of the forestry question in Ne
braska , Is now promoting a plan to reach
the farmers of the Plate through the rail
roads and awaken ithem to the desirability

His first plan was to induce the Mllroada
plant their vacant land to trees , but since
his arrival ho hta learned that the roads
have disposed of most of thplr land that
would hava been avallatle for this purpose.
But ho now expects to secure the co-opera
tion ot the railioads in distributing literature
among the farmers that will inform them
regard to forestry , with 'tho ' eventual re
sult of getting them Into sympathy with the fpf
scheme. ±
Mr. Brown has no financial Interest In the _
matter whatever , hut ho has become deeply

and Is keenly allvo to the manner In which

which wes once so plentiful in the eastern
states , was practically used up eighteen

much la now being used , will last not mare
than a dozen years longer. Consequently the
general public falls to realize how essential

bills to pay and no money , and who knows but the
Lord put this in my way , and just as you stoop down
to pick it up and you think of the date and you walk
right along by it just as if you could't see a pocketbook -
book in a hundred years. It ain't so easy to fool
people anymore , There used to bo a time when a
man would walk right into a hat store and pay five
dollars for a hat and think nothing of it. Now ho

more. We want to sell you your- spring hat.
