/ To tho.Edl.lor of World-Herald Bear Sir :
We have read your article publlehcd In the
World-Herald of this date and upon two
occasions wlt.hln tha past ycck , entitled :
"How Bank Depositors Were Despoiled , "
and charging Judges Fawcctt nnd Keysor
with the responsibility of these banks nnd
Inviting the attention of the voters lo the
several savings banks which have foiled
In Omaha within the past live yearn.
Wo have been the only attorneys who have
appeared before Judges Fawcett and Key-
ser on behalf of the depositors of the Ger
man Savings bank. Wo are perfectly famil
iar with what has been done In relation
to that bank. Wo feel It our duty' In the
Interest of Justice nnd honor among men
and In behalf of the depositors of the Ger
man Saving bank , to call ynur attention to
certain Inaccuracies and mistakes ot fact
contained In said article , as follows :
1. Neither Judge Fnwcctt nor Judge
Koysor had anything to do with either
the Midland State bank or the McCaguo
Savings bank.
2. The rulings nnd decisions of Judge
Fawcott In relation to the German Savings
bank have. In each Instance , been In favor
of the depositors. . ,
3. The receiver , Thomas H. McCague of
the Gorman savings bank , wns appointed
In .T'ily , 1890. Shortly following the election
of 1880 Judge Koywr made an order in
the German Savings bank case directing the
receiver to sue the stockholders In the
German Savings bank for their unpaid
stock subscriptions , to-wlt : eighty per cent
of the total stock subscrlptl&n of $500,000 ,
or for about $400,000 , which was more than
"J Btifriclcnt to liquidate the entire Indebtedness -
' bank. Thereupon
ness of the German Savln'gs
upon the receiver proceeded to execute the
order , but was prevented from so doing by
the German Savings bank and Its stock
holders , who appealed from Ihls order of
Judge Koysor to the supreme court of Ne
braska , where the case was pending for
many months and resulted in a stay of that
order.to o the depositors during the period
It was so pending In the supreme court. The
supreme court In that proceeding held that
Y the action directed by Judge Keysor to be
brought by the receiver could not be main
tained. Thoonly reason why the suit
against the stockholders wag not brought
and pressed to a conclusion was Iho action
of the supreme court of Nebraska. It was
not 4ho action of Judge Keysor.
Kcyitor Honc-nt unit Consclentloun.
that Judge Key-
4. Wo unhesitatingly say
eor In his conduct of the affairs of the Ger
man Savings bank has In every Instance
used honest and consctentlouo Judgment ,
with no Idea , of partiality existing In his
inlnd.
5 On January I , 1898 , Judge Fawcett suc
ceeded to the equity docket held by Judge
Keysor , and succeeded aleo. lo the German
Savings bank case. In 1898 we , as the sole
attorney for certain doposltoro In the Ger
man Savings bank-asked an order from
Judge Fawcett that the assets01 the Ger
man Savings bank Ihen remaining unsold bo
disposed of by the receiver In order that , the
proceeds might bo distributed among he
depositors : BndAa-.8uiribrou8ht * gamst.4 the
stockholders of the Gorman Savings' bank ,
this being the procedure in this case pointed
out by the supreme court ot Nebraska.
That application'for such an order was
heard by Judge Fa > vcett and sustained. All
of the personal assets of the bank were sold
under that order , judge Fawcett confirmed
the sale and , tho. proceeds were distributed
to the depositors of the German Savings
bank. This closed the nseots of the bank
except Us real property. On our applica
tion nn order was made by Judge Fawcett
directing the sale of the real estate.
Thereupon the German Savings bank , mov
ing through certain Interested stockholders ,
requested Judge Fawcett to fix. a. Eupersedeas
bond , which would , In effect , prevent the
t sale , under that order of the real estate
> assets. Judge Fawcctt denied that appllca-
ifi tlon absolutely. Immediately thereafter the
bank , raovlug by the same Influence , ap
plied to tbo supreme court of Nebraska fern
n writ of mandamus to compel Judge Faw
cott to fix the supereedeas. This case was
hoard with the greatest possible dispatch
consistent with the practice of the supreme
court.
Action of tl c Supreme Court.
The supreme court held that Judge Faw
cott should In law fix the supereedeas and
eo directed. Thereupon Judge Fawcett
/ caused a motion nnd brief for a rehearing
g to bo filed In tho. case , which we heard ,
\ and the former decision awarding the writ
of mandamus against him wns confirmed.
Then Judge Fawcett obeyed the mandate of
tho'supremo court ! ao In law ho was bound
to do or b punished for contempt , and
fixed the supersedeas. The Genman Savings
hank took nearly six- months , being all the
tlmo allowed. In which to perfect Its ap
peal from the order of Judge Fawcett di
recting the sale of the real estate assets.
The case Is now In the supreme court. It
hue been argued and submitted to that
court and , In the usual course ot business
of that court , will bo decided at the next
elttlni ; ot the supreme court , on next
Wednesday. In the natural progress of the
case tbo order of Judge Fawcett to sell the
real estate assets will then be executed ,
0. Upcn our application to Judge Fawcett
on behalf of the directors after the sale of
the personal assets of the German. Savings
bank , tbo salary of the receiver was dis
continued by Judge Fawcett.
7. In our Judgment Judge Fawcctt has
conscientiously and judiciously managed the
affairs of the German Savings bank at all
times.

1. In addition to the foregoing I dralro to
eay , as sole attorney for certain of the de
positors of the Nebraska Savings and Ex-
changu bank , that during the present year 1 j
nrndQ application to Judge Kawcctt for an !
order directing the receiver to sell the nftscU
of eald bank and distribute the proceeds '
among the depositors ; that my application
was contested by the bank acting through
thrco or four of Its stockholders , but after
hearing' the evidence and arguments Judge
Fawcett granted the application and entered
an order directing the receiver to proceed
forthwith to sell all of thu utKete of the bank
end diatrlbute tbo proceeds , that being In ac
cordance with the procedure laid down by
the supreme court In the German Savings
bank case , The Nebraekft Savings and Ex
change bank applied to Judge Fawcctt to fix
the superscdcas bond , which bond wlio fixed
by him , as he- was required to do under the
decision ot the supreme court In the German
Savings brink case , and the Nebraska Sav
ings and Exchange bank gave the supor-
ficclcns bond. Under the laws of this state
that bank has six months from tha date ot
the order In which to docket Its appeal In
the eupromo court , The six months have
not yet expired and the aso therefore Is
not yet before tbo supreme court. It will
have to bo docketed there come time during
the next month nnd , as soon as that Is done ,
1 shall apply to the euprcma court for an or
der advancing the case , which will doubt
less be granted , and the affairs of that bank
wilt then be In such condition as to bo
speedily wound up.
2. The records ot the case disclose that no
other application wae ever made to Judge
Keysor or Judge Fawcett by or on behalf of
the depositors of the Nebraska Savings and
Exchange bank , other than the one made by
myself , for an order to sell the assets of the
bank and wind upta \ affairs. The record
also dlsclctsee that neither Judge Keysor nor
Judge Fawcett appointed the receiver ot the
Nebraska Savings and Exchange bank , the
appointment having been made by Judge
Dufllo when he was upon the bench.

Women Cnu Vole for Scltnut Hoard ,
Owing to the question having been dis
cussed to a considerable extent regarding
the ellglbllty of women voting for members
of the Board of Education without having
registered , there promises to bo a toiall
woman vota at the polls today. If this
bo the case It will bo the fault of the women
themselves , as City Attorney Connell has
given the opinion that women will be cn-
! titled to vote whether they have registered
or not by swearing In their vote. Right of
euftrngo for women Is confined to the Board
of Education-It being considered that the
women take as great Interest In the manage
ment of school affairs as men. If not greater.
Those who have neglected to register owing
to a misapprehension regarding the neces
sity of doing so will do well to remember
City Attorney Council's opinion and 'If they
wish to exercise their privilege of the bal
lot the only thing necessary will bo the
swearing In of their votes.
AValttiiir for Ilullcc ,
Over In the First precinct ot the First
ward republicans are prepared to watch the
balloting * with zealous care. The number of
voters registered as living on Eleventh
street , between the viaduct and William
street , a distance of four blocks , along
which there are not to exceed twenty-five
houses , reaches a surprising figure. Nearly
all of them are registered without an ex
pression of their political preferences. John
Conroy was ono of the registrars In that
precinct and when he returned from dinner
on the second day of registration he found
that a man who gave his name as John B.
Butler , and who offlllated with no party ,
had registered during his absence from 1103
Pacific street. That is the number of Regis
trar ConVoy's residence , and as ho knew
tlmt no ono else lived thorp he will be watchIng -
Ing to eoe one John B. BUtler'vote nnd find
out just how ho succeeds in doing It.
Johiiuou Will Succeed .ToluiHon.
Some confusion has arisen In the minds of
6x3mo of the voters regarding one of the republican
*
publican candidates for the Board of Edu
cation. A. W. Johnson , at present a mem
ber of the board , has served his full term
and will bo succeeded by one of the candi
dates elected tomorrow. He la not a candi
date for re-election himself , and the con
fusion baa arisen in that there Is another
Johnson who Is a candidate1 for that posi
tion W. V , . JohnSqn. The ma"ny Johnsons
* '
In1 the city deem that' they are eqt'lUoil' to
membership on the school board , and there
Is no doubt but that there will continue to
bo a school trustee bearing that name , for
the clc6tlon of Mr. W. F. Johnson is con
ceded. He Is a graduate of Monmouth col
lege , 111. , n property owner and has always
taken an active Interest In school work.
Fine Weather for Election.
Non-partisan weather is promised by Ob
server Welsh for election day. In this eenso
non-partisan means fair. Mr. Welsh said
this morning ho wanted to glvo both par
ties a square deal , so be went iuto the dome
of the government building and arranged for
pleasant weather.
Seriously speaking , the observer says all
Indications point to splendid weather from
the time the polls open until they close.
The records show that cu many previous
election days the weather has been Inclem
ent. Observer Welsh Is noted for the re
liability of his forecasts , and when bo
promises a fine day for the battle of bal-
lota ho may bo relied upon.

Th political couchce-couchco that has
been cseaycd by the fusion managers and
their organ In the conduct of the campaign
In Douglas county presents many features
that would bo Indeed comical wore they
not despicable. They have sought by every j
falsehood nnd cunning device to array na
tionality against uatlonallty and the follow
ers of one religious belief against those of
anothe. . They have sought by every false
pretense and misrepresentation to encourage I
disaffection atnong the Bohemians and have {
tried In the same manner to convince the j
Jewish pcoplo ot Omaha that they have
suffered Indignities at the hands of tbo re
publican party.
Some tlmo since' circular letter which
bora the signature ot a Jew , and for the
suppression of which the republican com-
uiltteo had refused to put up a considerable
sum of moncj , was sent out to the Jews ot
Omaha. It contained a number ot false
hoods and was designed to Incense Jaws
especially against Burmester as the repub
lican candidate for sheriff , and Incidentally
against the whole republican ticket.
Now comes to light another circular scot
out In the Interest of the fusion umcblno by
the committee of Bohemians who ore endeav
oring to engineer the attempted revolt of
John Roslcky. This circular la published In
the Bohemian language and Is denominated
a "Last Appeal to Bohemians. " The con
cluding paragraphs of this precious docu
ment are likely to prove about as Interesting
to the Jews of Omaha as did the former
circulars founded In falsehoods. These
paragraphs read as follows :
' '
'There are many of our countrymen wheat
at the outset had decided to vote against
the Jewish ticket , but now they are talking
altogether different. Watch them !
"Fellow citizens , act according to your
convlctlonu and prove that no one can sell
you , either to the Jews or to anybody
else. "
Thoughtful Jewish citizens will hardly
fall 'to see In these two circulars the at
tempt at duplicity on the part of the fusion
machine in its efforts to mislead them Into
voting with those especially denouncing
.them.
The fusion organ has become suddenly
Imbued with a marvelous degree of eoltcl-
tude for the men who lost money on the
exposition , a sollcltudo only partially ex
plained by the proximity of election day. It
would be Impossible to fully explain Its
sudden manifestation ot friendly sollcltudo
for these people. Its sole purpose Is to
create by false pretense prejudice against
the editor of The Bee for political effect and
It puts Into the mouth of an Imaginary person
a lot of slush that never found utterance
from the lips of any sane human being.
PinvliiR- Expoxltloii Clicxtnut.
One of the early acts of the old board
of managers of the exposition was to vote
the World-Herald $800 of the money be
longing to the exposition. Later on , when
an allowance was made of $300 to pay The
Bee for a largo quantity of the handsome
colored pictures of the exposition for use
In , advertising , it was found necessary to
also Tote the WorinHerald"-$30q''r6r''ntytli-
fng. ' ' So ( h'at $ l"iOO"o'f the money ' 'that should
have g'ono 'to pay employes or make the ex
position a success was absolutely donated
to the World-Herald. The editor of The
Bee put | 2BO cash into the exposition funds ,
gave It outright -without any thought of
getting a cent of It back. The exposition Is
now Indebted to The Bee In a considerable
sum for advertising during its later progress ,
while It Is a fact that during Its closing
periods the friendliness of the World-Herald
for the exposition and Its employes and
concessionaires was of such intensity and
fervor that It absolutely declined to print
advertisements unless paid for cash down.
To those to whom these facts are known
the sudden solicitude of the fusion machine
for the Interests of the men who lost money
on the exposition occasions considerable
sarcastic comment.

reRtsterlnjr and had falsely stated the lo
cation of Ilcnwlck's residence. Judge Gor

The fusion machine closed Us campaign In
Douglas county last night with n series of
eight meetings , the central figure of which
series was Bryan , and around him were
disposed such lessor lights as Holcomb ,
Stone of Missouri , C. J. Smyth , Eil P.
Smith , Carl Wright , Joe Koutsky and Kd
Ilothery. Ilryan was rounding out a two-
weeks' campaigning tour In the stale , dur
ing which , Including his Omaha meetings ,
ho has delivered an even hundred speeches.
Neither physically nor vocally did ho appear
the worse for his experience , although Silas
A. Holcomb , who lias accompanied him dur
ing his Nebraska Jaunt , was pretty badly
fagged. Fortunately for Silas ho was merely
allowed suniclcnt tlmo at each meeting to
lot the audience know that ho was a candi
date for their suffrages for supreme Judge.
Owing to bad generalship on the part ot
someone , one of the halls was practically
empty , while still another was only ad
equately filled by running In the strikers
after Bryan had been speaking. Better
tactics had been pursued at the other halls ,
so that six good audiences were provided
for the coterlo of speakers. Bryan nnd
Holcomb wore whisked from one meeting
to another In a hack provided by Chairman
Dahliimn of the state central committee , who
accompanied them. At each meeting other
speakers were provided to hold the crowds
in waiting until the arrival of the real thing
promised them. Bryan regulated the length
of his speech In each Instance by the size
ot the crowd and let go ot his good audiences
with evident reluctance.
Sutixtiiiiec of ( lie Sjieeclien.
All ills speeches were confined to the
questions of trusts , militarism , Imperialism
nnd n large standing army. Ho bore down
hard upon the declaration of Independence ,
but never mentioned free trade , the free
coinage of sliver , nor the crime of ' 73.
The opening meeting was at Blum's hall
In South Omaha , a gorgeously Illuminated'
sign over the door of which proclaimed It
to be the Olympic variety theater. It de
veloped that arrangements had been made
to have the speaking occur before the show
began. Dr. White , whom J. Sterling Mor
ton had bounced from the meat Inspection
service , presided. The hall was crowded
when the Bryan party arrived. Bryan
talked for about fifteen minutes and Hol
comb about five. The former said that when
he ran for congress In 1890 South Omaha
had given him a majority of 1,200 out of a
total vote of 1,400. Ho wanted to see Hol
comb get a bigger majority. He said the
republicans stand for all the bad things they
did In 3S96 and some things so bad that no
one dreamed at the time that they would
ever stand for them. He declared that Mark
Hanna Is the republican party , that he rep
resents all that is bad In American politics
and that he couldn't understand how any
farmer or laboring-man can support the
republican party under the leadership of
Hanna.
It had been intended that Carl Wright ;
should follow with a speech , but when
Bryan closed the crowd began to go out
and an attache of the theater wlio knew
a good thing when he saw it rusheu to
thu footlights nnd began to proclaim , the
merits of the vaudeville performance to
follow.
Second Meetlnir.
The second meeting was nt Koutsky's hall ,
which was also comfortably filled. Joseph J.
Maly presided and introduced Bryan as the
next president. Hero Bryan urged upon the
voters that a vote for the republican ticket
Is a vote for the trusts , for a large standing
army , and for an European colonial policy.
While ho was talking about the trusts fur
nishing republican campaign funds an old
gentleman In the audience asked him to tell
just how much they had put Into the fund ,
and Bryan declared that they had put more
Into It In 18B6 than the republican party had
spent in all of Its previous campaigns put
together.
At Metz hall n.noisy crowd was assembled.
Charles Pcsplsal presided and S , L. Kos-
toryz spoke before the arrival of the Bryan
party. Holcomb spoke his allotted five min
utes and Bryan tuned his remarks to catch
the ear of the foreign voter by pointing out
what he termed the evils of a large stand
ing army and the draughts It would make
upon the eons of citizens.
John Llddell presided at Washington hall ,
where ox-Governor Stone of Missouri spoke
tor over an hour before Bryan arrived. The
hall was crowded. Here Bryan declared that
If be resigned his commission to help the
president have his treaty ratified , repub
licans should not abuse him for It. Ho eald
he had also insisted that the Filipinos
should be assured of Independence.
At IMorand's dancing academy V. E. Wll-
sou presided. Not over half of the chairs
were occupied , although C , J , Smyth and
Frank Ransom talked before Bryan arrived.
Mr. Bryan was Introduced as "America's
greatest citizen. " This wns spreading It on
BO thick that even Bryan apologized , saying
that ho would rather bavo people believe
The woman who mislays her hat and
looks for It in her purse , among other im
possible places , is very like the physician
who looks in all sort of impossible places
for the cause of a disease. The heart be
gins to act irregularly and straightway
there's ' an exam
ination of the
heart to find what
is interfering with
it. The liver ( jives
trouble , and is
dosed with drugs
and pounded with
pills to bringto
light the cause ,
and all the time
the cause ef the
trouble is in the
stomach.
The intimate
connection of the
stomach with the
heart and the other
vital organs , nec
essarily results in
the sympathy of
these organs with
any derangement
, or disease of the
, stomach and the
organs of diges
tion and nutrition.
Thousands have been cured of palpita
tion , Hver trouble , shortness of breath , pain
in the side , backache , and numerous other
complaints by the use of Dr. Pierce's Golden
Medical Discovery , This medicine acts
directly upon the stomach , the organs of
digestion and nutrition and the blood making -
ing glands , and the fact that it cures so
many forms of disease Is the best proof that
these diseases originate in the stomach and
must be cured through the stomach.

CriMvil nt Crolulitnii Hull.
nrclghlon hall across the street was liter
ally packed , Dr. Hippie presided and ad
dresses were made by C. J. Smyth nnd Kd
P. Smith to hold the crowd. Hero Bryan
spoke for Imlf an hour. U was the best mull-
cnce he had faced and ho was reluctant to
let go. Ho did not do so until J. C. Dahl-
ni a n poked htm slyly in the back to let him
know that ho was duo to llnlsli.
At Gcrmania hall there were not to exceed
twenty people when Bryan and Holcomb ar
rived. They had been listening to speeches
by Messrs. Schnake , Holscle and Smyth.
Hero Bryan apoko only about five minutes ,
speaking conversationally and without re
moving his overcoat.
At Osthoff's hall Ed Hothcry presided and
preliminary addresses \vere made by J. 13.
lloagan nnd C. J. Smyth. There were about
100 people prcseut. It was five minutes after
midnight when the last word was said here.
In all his speeches Ilryan dwelt upon the
same topics , bis versatility enabling him to
present them in various forms that won a
reasonable amount of applause. In all of his
audiences there were many women and boys ,
but there was no Imaginative press agent to
paint the ardor of the men and women who
had driven long journeys to hear the doc
trines of popocracy expounded by their In
ventor. Jt Is estimated that Bryan spoke to
4,000 people at hie eight meetings.
