Feasible ways and mean * to h adopted
to bring the bunk clearings lacX to their
customary standing Is a question that Is be
ing discussed very often by the Commercial
club. A fommttteo consisting of Messrs.
Unlnger , Hcspe and Smlih hns been at work
for several dsyi attempting to renew the
former method of handling South Omaha
business and thereby recovering the 52 per
cent decrease in tha clearings of last webk.
The cdiiao of thn change waa Cnihlor Bost-
wlck of the South Omaha National bank.
For the last ten years It has been customary
for the South Omaha bank to pass Its busi
ness through the Onutu clearing house.
This enabled It sometimes to use from $173-
000 to $200,000 dally without the payment of
any interest. The Omaha National bank
objected to a continuance of this and de
manded some recompense for the continuous
loon. Cashlor Bostwlck declined and pro
ceeded to send his drafts In a different direc
tion , with the result that In one week the
clearances of the Omaha house dropped fi2
per cent.
The committee visited Mr. Mlllard , presi
dent of the Omaha National bank , and who
1.4 also at the head of the South Omaha
National bank , for the purpose of learning
whether the matter could he settled def
initely In the Interests of Omnha clearings.
Mr. Mnlnger reported that Mr. Mlllard In
formed them that cutting off the loan meant
a saving of from $10,000 to $12,000 per year
to the Omaha National bank. He said he
did not think ho ought to be asked to con
tinue a practice at such a cost. He acknowl
edged to the committee , so they reported ,
that he could adjust the matter , but it would
require arbitrary action on his part. He
said Cashlor Bostwlck had acted without
consulting any one , but the wisdom of his
action was plain. He suggested that the
committee visit South Omaha men who are
Interested In the matter and Induce them , if
possible , to exert their Influence toward se
curing an equitable settlement.
Mr. IfnvprN Slntrnicnt.
Mr. Hospe , a member of the committee
which saw Mr. Mlllard , stated that he had
spent considerable time on the Investiga
tion concerning the action of the Omaha
National bank In altering Its method.
"I told Mr. Mlllard that since his bank
had seen flt to continue this practice for ten
years ho ought not to cease now , as it was
In the Interests of Omaha that the bank
clearings should remain as they have been
In the past , " said Mr. Hospe. "If the old
system Is again adopted the clearings will
not only return to their customary figure ,
but they will show a substantial Increase
over last year. Mr. Mlllard said ho appre
ciated that , but he did not see why his bank
should he asked to do this at such a great
cost. I assured him it waa a matter of
patriotism and referred to the large sum ly
ing Idle In the vaults of the bank and urged
that the money might bo used In thli way
to better advantage than If held in reserve.
1 pointed out to him what would be the re
sult if the other banks should adopt the
same system , and showed thereby how the
clearing house receipts would shrink. I
urged further that this decrease -would be
pointed to by eastern Investors , who would
withhold their money from Omaha , believ
ing that the city was suffering from overexertion -
exertion during the late exposition , Just as
other cities have In the past. He acknowl
edged that this belief would be untrue , be
cause ho had found business much better
this year than It was prior to the exposi
tion. He thought , however. It would be a
good thing for the banks , as they have
plenty of money to loan and borrowers
would apply to them for money Instead of
going east for It. I Insisted that this would
not be true , a * It would enforce the with
drawal of deposits to meet accruing Indebt
edness. Wo visited the secretary of the
clearing houao for the purpose of learning
who Is really responsible for this change.
Ho referred us to Mr. Mlllard , with the
statement that Mr. Mlllard could adjust the
difficulty if ho desired. "
V rcrmiiulliiK Committee Appointed.
The executive committee agreed finally
that Chairman Martin. Mr. Brady and Mr.
Smith should visit Mr. Cudahy and en
deavor to persuade him to UBS his Influence
toward securing a settlement of the diffi
culty , or at least to learn hla attitude. It
was stated that all packing house business
a Kansas City , Kan. , Is cleared through
Kansas City , Mo , and all Chicago business ,
whether in Hammond , Ind. , or the suburbs
of the city , through thn Chicago cicarlns
house. This being true , the committee ar
gued that the Omaha clearing house Is en
titled to the South Omaha business.

W. A. Snyder of Fort Collins. Colo. ,
a brother of A. J. Snydev , who ended fcls
life in thin city Saturday night by taking
cyanida of potassium , arrived Tuesday
afternoon. II ban not decided whether or
not he will tnke the body buck to ht home
for burial , but says it is unlikely , as fie
does not cure to make it any harder on hl
aged parents thnn at present. Although
it h.u always been the wish of his brother
that hi * body should go to some medical
college In order that hi * peculiar ailment ,
succeeding nn early attack of the spotted
fever , mlKht bo studied , his wtah will not
be carried out.
.Mr. Snyder stated that his brother left
homo March 31. The flwt intimation they
received of his intention to cud his suffer
ing was In the form of a letter from Omaha ,
whlrh arrived Saturday morning. A message - |
sage was sent to Omaha Immediately to '
learn If A. J. Smith had committed suicide !
here , as he stated that he would do ao t
Thursday night. Ho did not believe his '
brother was In his right mind at the time ,
or he would not have kilted himself.
Lureep < if the llei'euseil.
"My brother was 33 years of agre , " said
Mr. Snyder. "When about 8 years old he
was taken 111 with the Epottcd fever and
when he recovered from It he was lame for
life , being compelled to carry a cane at all
times. Last summer he was taken sick
again and was 111 for seven or eight months.
When ho got over the attaok he waa forced
to use crutches.
"In a business way he was always very
successful. Ho became superintendent of the |
Denver City Cable company and served In
that capacity for several years. I know j
that at one tltno he was worth between $40-
000 and $50,000. Ho had made it In mining ,
speculation and from his work. I helped'
him count $22,000 In gold once and after
ward saw htm deposit it In the First Na
tional bank of Denver. Last summer I saw
him deposit a draft for $17,500 and a lot
of diamonds. He told us In his letter that
ho had left It all to charitable Institutions ,
but , as he left no will that we are a.ble to ,
locate , wo do not know where his money
Is. Two years ago he went to Europe and
spent several months very profitably. I
know of no reason why my brother should
have killed himself unless he was really ]
out of his mind. Ills parents are very old i
and are almost prostrated as the result of j
hia act. " I

real heroines of ever
THE
day are in our homes
Frequently , however
it is a mistaken and
useless heroism.
Women seem to
listen to every call
of duty except the
supreme one that
tells them to guard
their health.
As long as they
can drag themselves
around , women con
tinue to work. They
have been led to be
lieve that suffering is
necessary because they
are women. What a mis
take ! For proof read this
" I was so weak and nervous that I
thought I could not live. I had fall
ing of the womb and leucorrhcca , and
thought I was going into consumption.
I had dragging pains in my back , burn
ing sensation down to my feet , and so
many miserable feelings. I was not able
to do my work. People said that I
looked like a dead woman. Doctors
tried to cure me but failed , I had given
" up when I heard of Lydu E. Pinkham's
"Of Vegetable Compound. I got a bottle. I
did not have much faith in it but thought
I would try it , and it made a new woman
of me. I have been doing my work ever
since for a large family. I wish I could
get every lady in the land to try it , for it
did for me what doctors could riot do. "
Mrs. SALLIE CRAIG , Baker's Landing.Pa.
If you are ill and need counsel
you can secure advice from Mrs.
Pinkham's vast experience with
out cost. Write to her nt Lynn ,
Mass. , and tell her the whole truth ;
you can talk freely to a woman.
The following is the experience of .
Mrs. Meier in her own words ; '
DBAK Mas. PINKIIAM : I feel it iny duty to inform
you of the benefit 1 have derived from the use of your
medicine. I have suffered for two years , and have spent
over one hundred dollars for doctors. There was nut a
week passed without my doctor being called to my bedside. He said 1
and that 1 must wear n rubber ring. I wore it six months , but I slid lud tUg * i
pains , and pains in my back and side. Menstruations were so paitiiul
take to my bed. I have taken four bottles of your medicine , and am iuit i > * * ' <
never felt better in my life than I do now. I wuul 1 recommend it to all whitUp t
ness or womb trouble. To all suffering' WOIIILU J would say , "Take 1 ulu K I'luttuut * \ ugwublo
Compound It will nut only save dollars , but restore you to perfect health. ' Mu. 0ti. . W
