Ontflt Iln * Another Oriiaiil/iitlon anil
the Court Cannot Hold It liliililu
Hce.iuiNc .Not it Tarty to
the Stilt.
The examination of President H. O.
Dcvrics ot the Olobo Loan nnd Trust com
pany In the proceeding brought before Judge
linker for the purpose of ascertaining
whether the company named has nny prop
erty which can bo levied upon to satisfy a
Judgment In favor of the Hrlggs wtato for
about $500 $ , has been concluded , nnd an or- (
tier of discharge was entered. All that was
desired by the attorney for the Hrlggs
executors In this matter was to place the
Taylors and Mr. Dovrlcs on record ns to
the transactions of their company nnd Its
present posscsnlons , so that later on another
suit may bo Instituted. Cadet Taylor was
tint present , so the cnso had to go along
without nny testimony from him.
The rent collection book of the Glebe
I-oan nnd Trust company was produced In
court. It was brought out In Mr. Dovries'
evidence that of nil the rents collected only
these of three unimportant leaseholds went
to the Globe Ixmn nnd Trust company , and
no rents have been collected from thcso
for some tlmo past. In all the other collec
tions the company nets ns the agent for
the Llnwood Park Land company , or other
corporations , nnd several private Individuals.
Ono of these other corporations Is the Put-
man company. This was n now ono to the
plaintiff's attorney. Ho asked It Mr. Dcvrlca
nnd thu Taylors had slock and held olllces
In that concern , nnd was Informed they do.
It Ima nn olllco In the Glebe building.
IVIiculN Within uWheel. .
The attorney for the Drlggs estate even
tually went over a number of foreclosure
nulls which had been brought a year or
two ago In the iiarao ot the Glebe Loan anil
Trust company as plaintiff. It developed that
It was not an uncommon thing for the Lln
wood Park company to buy In the property
nt the sheriff's sale after the decree ot fore
closure , although the suits were generally
brought by the Globe Loan nnd Trust com
pany as trustee. The plaintiffs Insist that
the Llnwood Park company Is Just a "wheol
within n wheel" In the Taylor combination.
In ono particular Instance , that of the
cnso against Delia Montgomery , the Globe
Loan and Trust company was acting ns
trustee for K. Peter Pelton , the property
foreclosed being In Llnwood park. An as
signment of the dccreo appeared to have
been made , according to the records , by
the Glebe Loan nnd Trust company to the
Llnwood Park company for n consideration
of $ .1,000 , but there was no entry In the
book's showing this.
Incidentally , the character of the mort
gage guaranteed to Asa W. Drlggs as a
good Investment was gone Into. A farmer
named Rasmusscn had considerable prop
erty all heavily mortgaged. A lot on Thirty-
llfth street , between Leavcuworth and Pa-
clllc , was said to have been Included. This
lot Mr. Dovries valued at $800 off-handedly.
Drlggs Invested In a mortgage on It.
The court said ho could not do otherwise
than to make an order of discharge , because -
cause no other company than the Glebe Loan
nnd Trust company was properly before the
court. It would not bo possible to order
the Llnwood Park company to pay the IJrlggs
Judgment , as the judgment wus against the
Glebe Loan nnd Trust company. The at
torney for the plaintiff seemed satisfied ,
seeing that ho had succeeded In getting on
the Insldo track of the Taylors and Mr.
Dovrlcs , and having a shorthand report taken
of all the testimony.
ASICS FOR A SAMS OP Tim ASSETS.
Court ANlccil to AVI nil Up AlTalm of
\ ( < liriiHl < ii SuvtiiKH Hank.
An effort IB to be made In the district
court to have an order directing the sale
of the assets of the Nebraska savings and
Exchange bank for the benefit ot its de
positors , similar ito .that made by Judge
Fnwcett In the matter of the German Sav
ings bank receivership.
An application asking for 1hla was filed
by V. 0. Strlcklcr yesterday afternoon In
behalf of aomo flftjr of the bank's depos
itors. In substance , It contains a compari
son between itho first report made by Uo-
cclvor William K. PoKcr on November 23 ,
1S95 , nnd his last report , on August 31. 1SOS ,
ito show that whllo the nominal assets of
the bank have shrunk $115,000 , the liabil
ities have been reduced no more than $74-
83'J. In the first report the assets were
given as $316.992.73 , and the liabilities as
$190,992.73. The August 31 report gavu the
assets as $231,084.1C and the liabilities as
$122lC0.38.
During itho thrco years and over tlio bank
has been In the receiver's hands four divi
dends have been declared , ono on May 14 ,
189C , of 10 pur cent , and each of the others
D per cent , respectively on March 8 and
August 2 , 1S97 , and on August 9 , 1898. It
Is said by itho petitioners that whllo thcso
dividends , making a total of 2i ! per cent ,
have been declared , the accumulation of
Interest upon the bank's debts and the taxes
n upon Its property have amounted to a total
nf 22 % per cent , BO that tlio net liquidation
has not been greater ithan 2'i per cent. A
further point Is made to the effect that the
choicest assets have been disposed of nnd
that , fihould tlio receivership be continued ,
the bank would not do as well. It Is al-

Heart troubles , nt least among the Ameri
cans , are certainly Increasing and while this
may bu largely duo to the excitement nnd
worry of American business life , Is more
often the result ot weak stomachs , of poor
digestion.
Real organic disease Is Incurable ; but not
ono case In n hundred of heart trouble U or
ganic.
The close relation between heart trouble
and poor digestion In because both organs
are controlled by the eamo great nerves , the
Sympathetic and I'neumoKastrlc.
In another way , also the heart Is effected
by the form of poor digestion , which causes
pas aud fermentation from half digested
food. There Is a feeling of oppression and
heaviness In the clu-st caused by the pres
sure of the distended stomach nn the heart
and lungs , Interfering with their action ;
lienca arises palpitation and short breath.
1'oor digestion also poisons the blood ,
malting It thin nnd watery , which Irritates
and weakens thu heart.
The most sensible treatment for heart
trouble In iu Improve the digestion and to
luBVirn the prompt assimilation of food.
This can bo done by the regular use after
meals of gome safe , pleasant and effective
digestive preparation , like Stuart's Dyspep-
eta Tablets , which may bo found at most
drug stores , and which contain valuable ,
harmless digestive elements in n pleasant ,
convenient form.
It Is afo to say that the regular , per
sistent UHU of Stuart's Dyspepsia Tablets nt
meal time will cure nny form of Btumach
trouble except cancer of the stomach.

: o pay the r\i > pnsfg of the receivership and
the accumulated Interest and taxes.
Accordingly an order directing a sale Is
asked for and , In addition to thin , that the
receiver be ordered to start a suit ngalnst
the bank's stockholders to compel them to
irmks good nny amount the proceeds might
run short of the claims of the depositors.
Incidentally , It Is urged that the receiver
submit a full report.

FIGURES ON POLICE FORCE
I.ra * MIMI Are on Duty Niuv
Thau one Your
Alto.
The attempt to misrepresent the reduction
In the police department by a comparison
with the number of men on the force last
year has brought about n true comparison
with the books , which show that while , it
is said , the department has a much larger
force than during March , 1S9S , this la not
true , as the rolls of that month show that
eighty-eight men drew pay , while the de
partment contains sixty-five men nt present.
Last year the dcpnrtuwnt had three captains
and ono chief of detectives , whllo now It has
two captains and no chief of detectives ,
these officers now reporting to tb j day and
night captains or the sergeant In command.
The force now contains ono additional clerk
In tbo chief's office , but this clerk does not
draw anywhere near the amount of money
that was paid to the extra captain and to
the chief of detectives.
The records nt the police station show
that the roll for March , 1S9S , provided for
the following officers : Ono chief , three cap
tains , ono chief of detectives , four sergeants ,
two turnkeys or lockup men , two jailors ,
two patrol conductors , two drivers , two em
ergency men , two matrons , ono hostler , ouo
pawnshop officer , ono court officer , six de
tectives , thirty-three patrolmen , night duty ;
twenty-four patrolmen , day duty , nnd ono
clerk In the chief's office.
Since the reduction on the first of the
month It la claimed that a number of men
are assigned to special duty who could bo
utilized ns uniformed patrolmen. The po
lice record shows that the officers are as
follows , with their assignments. One chief ,
two clerks In the chief's office , two captains ,
four sergeants , twelve detcctl'ves , six work
ing days and six at night , two turnkeys or
lockups , two jailors , two patrol conductors ,
two drivers , one hostler , two emergency
men , two matrons , ono pawn shop officer ,
ono court officer , eighteen night patrolmen ,
eight day patrolmen , one patrolman , Officer
Osborne , sick In hospital , two sanitary offi
cers , a total of sixty-five.
It Is said that seven men ore unaccounted
for. One officer "unassigned , " Is Jailor Pat
Ilavey , whllo six officers are absent on leave
without pay. Six officers are accounted for
as detectives proper , while six more nre
taken from the regular patrolmen , placed In
citizen's clothing and assigned to either a
day or night shift. This gives the chief
a force of twelve detectives , six of whom
are carried on the assignment list as "at
large. " Officer Doyle , who Is doing Clancy's
work as police clerk , Is drawing his pay
but Clancy is not , a saving thereby being
found for the city.
In speaking ot the suggestion of the
World-Herald' that he might add eleven pa
trolmen to the police force by taking off
six detectives , ono special man on days and
one at night , ono officer at largo at night ,
one uunsslgncd patrolman and Officer Boyle ,
Chief White said :
"In reality this needs no explanation , as
It Is plainly a willful misrepresentation of
the facts. I have held at all times and
shall continue to do so , 'because ' my ex
perience has taught mo I am right , that
ununlfonncd officers are capable of doing
tlie most effective work. I called the force
of detectives together and Instructed them
to ecour the city , visit nil the saloons In
the outskirts and the business portion of
the city both day'and night In order that
they irlght acquaint themselves with the
thieves and Gtragglsrs who make their
hpadquartcrs In such places. They nre to
go to South Omaha and see what men remain
there , and work this city by dropping into
it at intervals. These men work in all
parts of the city In this way. They could
not do this , as la well known , If they were
uniformed , because they would bo spotted
Instantly , nnd besides it would ho Impos
sible for them to leave their beats. I am
sorry I had to take off the twenty-four men
I had In the suburbs , aa they made It im
possible for thieves to back their wagons
up to stores nnd remove a whole stock In a
night. They stopped porch climbing and In
many instances drove depredators from
their work by the knowledge of their proa-
ence.
"The one special man on days and ono nt
night are necessary at the police station. If
the wagon is answering n call , the conductor
and driver are with It , leaving the
emergency man nt the station with the
Jailor. Should a second call arrive , as Is
often the case , the emergency man , responds
to this. With a small force the demand for
such a man at the station constantly Is
augmented and It would bo foolish to take
thcso men from a place of usefulness nnd
place them upon the streets.
"Tho ono officer at largo at night Is
Detective Dan Davis , who relieves other
officers If necessary and who works In nil
parts of the city. The officer noted ns 'un-
nsslgned' is Officer Pat Hnvry , who has been
made Jailor. Officer Hoylo has done Mr.
Clancy's work for a few days , the latter has
kept up the records. Hoylo draws his pay
while Clancy docs not , so the city loaes
nothing. "

pany , will be held. These lands arc In
Nebraska , Wyoming , Colorado mid Utah ,

Wyoming , 4,062,640.42 acres ; Utah , 618-
824.43 acres ; total for four states , 6,131,759.06
acres.
"Of this total the following Is approxi
mately the number of acres remaining tin-
sold to settlers or Investors : Nebraska ,
500,000 ; Colorado , 86,000 ; Wyoming , 2,800-
000 , and Utah , 425,000 acres. In the rest of
the land which will bo offered for sale by
the special master the Union Pacific owns
only an equity , the property having been
sold under contract , which will be protected
by the purchaser.
Cumnanj"Will Day It.
There doesn't seem to be any question but
that the Union Pacific company will buy In
the lands nt the sale , and W. D. Cornish ,
vice president of the company , will arrive
here today for that purpose. He will be ac
companied by n party of other officials of
the road from the cast , and , after the sale
tomorrow will go to Colorado , Wyoming and
Utah to attend the sales of the lands In
thosa states which will be held during the
week.
It will probably require about thirty days
after the sale before It will bo confirmed by
the United States court , but after the con
firmation the Union Pacific company will put
the land on the market without delay.
Advertising matter bearing upon the
property will be Issued at once , and en
ergetic action taken to bring settlers to
these unoccupied acres during the period of
the fall Immigration. Land Commissioner
McAlIastcr says he has now on file many
applications from prospective purchasers for
portions of the land , and a number of sales
in such cases will probably be made without
loss of time. Applications of this character
will doubtless bo Increased as soon ns the
conclusion of tbo sale Is announced.
The olllclals of the Union Pacific road feel
that whileIt is a good thing for the com
pany to have this land taken out of the
court and definitely located as to right of
possession , It Is also a good thing for the
state to have thehalf-mllllon acres opened at
once to settlement upon terms which arc
believed to be more than reasonable. With
the most favorable outlook for Immigration
the etato has had In ten years , the officers
of the company anticipate an almost un
paralleled Influx of settlers to these lands
during the coming year.

HAVANA , March 4. The Cuban assembly
has requested the newspaper men of Ha
vana "upon their honor as Journalists mi.l .
gond , patriotic Cubans" not to publish any
thing they may learn regarding the as
sembly's secret sessions , "thinking that pub
lic knowledge of what Is doing may bo used
against the assembly In Its subsequent deal
ings with the United States. " This Is
claimed to show that no Individual member
of the assembly trusts another.
Lojt night thcro was much mysterious
rafo whispering. It scorns that n consid
erable portion of the time during the ses
sions cf Uio assembly Is spent In Insulting
Americans and General Gomez and personal
collisions between the members. They also ,
It Is added , accuse each other of accepting
bribes from the United States , which ac
cusations arc followed by threats of duels.
In addition to this the Cuban assembly
men consider that the planting of General
I'ltzhugh Loo's flagstaff four meters deep In
the ground Is a euro sign of the continuance
of the American occupation ot the Island.
These reports arising from the prolonged
and boisterous secret sessions have made
the doings of the Cuban assembly the Joke
of Havana.
La Quaslma Issued an extra based in
the speeches of Messrs. Sow all and White
In the senate , declaring the eventualities of
the war between the United States and
Cuba. It says :
"It Is ominous that the senate has do.
creed to exterminate the Filipinos. The
United States , encouraged by the asserted
victories In the Philippines , may Inaugurate
the same policy In Cuba. It behooves all
Cubans to bo on the alert. Let the watchword -
word be 'Alert. ' "
Any rumors discreditable to the American
military authorities are quickly repeated.
An example cited Is that General Ludlow ,
commanding Havana , has just bought har
ness valued ai $1,200 for his personal use ,
chargeable to the Cuban taxes. Obviously
this Is untrue. Still It la averred that the
army expenses are paid for at Cuba's ex
pense.
The battleship Indiana sailed yesterday
evening. The flagship New York .Is expected
to sail today. H l said they are both go

The son and daughter of General Maximo

their father.
REPORT ON CATTLE LOSSES
Damage Xot n Heavy an MlBlit lie
ExiifoteilchrimUu Ill-ports Are
Still LUN * Unfavorable.
DENVER , Colo. , March 4. Charles F.
Martin , secretary of the National Live Stock
association , today Issued a bulletin concern
ing Hvo stock losses on the range this win
ter. It says :
With the exception ot Montana , reports
have becen received from leading stockmen
and are considered accurate ns far as they
go. In Idaho , Wyoming , Colorado , northern
and western Texas , New Mexico , Oklahoma
and Indian Territory the winter has been
the worst known in ten years or more.
Fortunately , the great cold made the storms
dry and there was enough , wind nnd sun to
keep a fair proportion of the ranges uncov
ered. Oregon , Washington and Arizona suf
fered very little nnd will have only nominal
losses. California la still suffering from
drouth and the outlook thcro is bad. The
losses In Wyoming , Colorado nnd the Da-
kotna as yet have not averaged 4 per cent.
In northern and western Texas and north
eastern New Mexico nnd through southern
Oklahoma and Indian Territory the heaviest
losses hnvo been with cattle being moved
north from the south.
Where the cattle went Into the winter in
bad condition the mortality has been heavy ,
reaching In some sections as high as 20 per
cent. Taking1 the range section as a whole ,
to the present time , the losses will average
1 per cent. With the most favorable con
ditions that can bo expected an additional
loss of 2 per cent may bo looked for before
spring nnd should the weather continue bad
through March a heavy lo s will certainly
result.
In Utah , Wyoming and some parts of Oregon
gen heavy sheep Josses nre reported. It Is
feared that thcro will also bo heavy sheep
losses in Montana. Wyoming reports some
Instances of losses reaching as high ns 30
per cent and some claim that If March fur
nishes much bad weather the sheep losa In
that state may reach 25 per cent. In west
ern Utah the conditions appear to be almost
as bad. In several Instances the reports
give the average for this section as being
20 per cent. These two states are the great
est sufferers of any reported.
In Nebraska , New Mexico , Colorado and
Kansas the reports are not so discouraging ,
but in sections of these states where tbo
range Is depended upon exclusively the
losses have been heavier than usual.
