Tho Ileal Estato exchange has manifested
considerable activity of late In lt solicita
tion toward ttilend,andfor threo or four
weeks has had Ave, or men out work
In all th tjme Idr the. Interest of the or
der. Their work has boon chiefly among
rmploycrn of largefAniimbers of men, al
though tho oxchnngo has also sent out a
largo "limber of letters to individuals eligi
ble to membership In tho order, Inviting
thorn to consider Its claims upon all Omaha
pooplo who- contemplate entering such a
fraternity., As a result of. tho personal
canvast the loca) membership of the order
haa been Increased ' something like 400 or
500 during tho last fow weeks. Some of
tho heads of local Ikirfnesa houses have
nlded greatly and generously In tho accom
plishment of the work which the exchange
3ia undertaken, llayden Ilros. and Mr.
Hosonthal of tho People's tore havo led
in tho extension of this encouragement by
agreeing to pay tho $5 Initiation feo of all
their employes who dcnlre to btrome mem
bers of tho order.
Speaking' of tho progrwn being made by
aho exchange committee. Mr. John T. Yates,
up'rom' secretary of the national organiza
tion, said: , . ' .

"Wo feel Very much gratified at the re
sults achloved. Omaha has shown In a
piost substantial and cffcctlvo way Its good
will ' for the organization. The resident
officers will lay tho matter hoforo the noxt
tnecetlng of tho cxecutlvo council In tho
tyropor -manner. Tho organization Is cer
tainly nn Omaha Institution. It was born
hero and, nltbough only nine years old, the
roport I havo Just drawn up ehows that It
has a membership of 174,152.
"I havo heard a good dil about tho
.progrCBslvocess of Kansas City and the lib
erality and entcrprlso of Its btmlnras men,
fbut I hellovo that tho morchantn of Omaha
rn as loyal to their city as aro those of
nny.clty. Mr. Rosenthal and llayden Ilros.
Jiavo wlhout hesitation volunteered to pay
tho Initiation fees of all employes of their
respective bouses who wish to Join. They
nro entitled to great credit. With Haydon
Jlron. it moant tho payment of $5 each for
om sixty or B'eventy-flvo employes. The
-merchants of Omaha aro not altogether as
old-fogylsh ns It has been sought to make
It sometimes appear and I think that these
merchants, who have shown their liberality
Jn an effort to retain tho headquarters In
Omaha aro entitled to public mention.
"I have) heard it Intimated that there la
really no movement In contemplation look
Ing toward the removal of tho heudquartara
from Omaha and that the agitation of that
mibject won simply to advertlao tho order
and lnfluenco an lncreaso In Its local mini
ibershlp. I would refer all who may enter
tain such a suspicion to tho published re
ports of tho proceedings at tho Memphis
meeting of tho executive council In March,

Mr. Yates produced the book and showed
.In the ofllclal report whom a resolution in
troduced for tho erection of a $40,000 head
.quarters "building In this city had been
nmonded to make tho nmount $60,000 and tho
location Omaha, provided that city gave as
much toward the projoct as would bo of
fered toy any other city. Ho said that the
discussion -was protracted and evinced a dls
position on tho part of many of thoso pres
rvnt to tnko tho headquartorn away from this
city. Quito a number of other cities have
(been actively working for the. location and
have raado offors, among which Mr. Yatea
mentioned St. Louis, Kansas City, Colura
fou. O.. and Wichita. St. Louis, ho said,
has been particularly active, and ho under
stood that Council Bluffs and Lincoln havo
token somo steps In tha matter, but ho dd
not know that they had submitted any
proposition,
it Is probable that few Omaha people real
izo tho volumo of bustuoss that Is trans
acted at tho headquarters of tho organiza
tion, -which occupy two floors of tho Sheely
B.lrwk at Fifteenth anil Howard streets, u
has unon its pay rolls olghty-flve persons
who find employment at current rates and
havo homes In the city. It sends supplies
(by tho ton to subordinate lodges. It receives
Jn revenues, dues and assessments from Its
nombora scattered all over tho country
something liko an average, of $260,000 to
$275,000 n month, which finds Its way
through tho local banks. Its postngo ac-
..count, exclusive pf Msrnumorous publica
tions, runs 4ljtl'laVW$tvl1 at ".the TOroaha
postoraco. m many tuner ways u ib n mu
terlal factor In swelling tho volumo of
Omaha's business. Mr. Yates thinks that
If tho ordop Is given a substantial Increase
in membership It will havo greater weight
than would a largo cash offering from some
'cither city, and as soon as the location shall
havo been decided, which will doubtless be
nt tho next mooting of the executive coun
cil a $60,000 headquarters building will be
erected.

TRIUMPH OF THE AMERICAN EQUINE
I'nillniiil Irpinrnl tn Spend Millions
of Dnllnrn to Secure the Proper
Kind Urn ioIio Ik the 1'nvor
Itc Ilreed.
From the plains ot Nebraska to tho
veldts of South Africa thousands of horses
will go to strengthen Britain's invading
armies. HundreJs nro on the way and
others aro being contracted for by agents
of tho English government. Shipments ore
now being mado out of Omaha and other
polntH In the state at tho rate of scores of
carloads a week.
In Its campaign for tho subjugation of
tho Boors England has discovered an im
portant fact. The horse is ns Important
as tho mnn. Tho mobility and successful
strategy of tho Eoldlers of Oom Paul are
leargcly duo to tho uo of horses. In order
to bo on an equal footing, so to speak, with
tneir enemy tho British forces must be
mounted. Horses must be supplied to nil
tho foot soldiery now In tho Held. Others
will havo to bo sent to replace the animals
who havo died and aro dying through hnrd
usago and from tho effects of a hostile
cllmo and Boer bullets'.
Tho American horse, and more especially
tho western horse, is what tho British War
office has decided to bo tho best for the
purpose Tho small, hardy hroncho, easily
sustained, Is tho Ideal.
H. II. Robertson, representing Wolcott,
Doom & Co. of Kansas City, Is one of the
agttitB hero at tho present tlmo buying
horsts for Lord Roberts' army. Ho ad
mitted this to be the object of his visit
In a conversation nt tho Mercants' hotel.
Ho was busy consulting with stock dealers
from different parts of tho utate.
"I expect to ship threo carloads out to
morrow and to mako about threo trips a
week for six to eight weeks," he said.
"From hero the horses go to Kansas City.
They aro lnspsted there and then sent over
tho Momphlo route to New Orleans to bo
put on board vessels for Capetown.. Tho
horses In Missouri, Nebraska and tho west
ern plains states aro most desirable."
It Is estimated that tho British govern
ment wants 30,000 to 33,000 American
horses. Tho wastage of horses In the cam
paign thus far Is said to havo been nearly
6,000 monthly.
'Besides compelling recognition of the
superiority of tho American product this
war has shown the need of tho horse In
modern warfare. While electricity, steam,
the blclyclo and tho automobile have largely
displaced tho horso In civil life, tho soldier
needs him more than over In his business.
SOUTH OMAHA NEWS.
While at tho present time tho ofllccrs nnd
members of tho Commercial club aro devot
ing their attention almost exclurlvely to the
bottermcnt of street car facilities and the
construction of a crosstown line other ob
jects aro not allowed to bo put aside.
A tannery Is ono of the Industries greatly
desired hero and as this matter has been
mentioned more or less in tho press of lato
considerable Interest Is being taken In tho
project. That tho news from South Omaha
goes all over tho country Is evidenced by
tho following letter received a few days ago
by W. J. C. Kenyon, general manager of the
Union Stock Yards company, from E. D.
Warren of Winchester. Mass.: . i
1 notice by the Boston Herald of Aorll 2
that your peoplo aro considering the mat
ter of locating a tannery at South Omaha.
Should you complete such an arrangement
I should like to arrango with your people
to build and oper.ato the. tunnery. Allow
me to suggest to your people that In con
nection with your tunning plant you con
nect a shoo and harness manufactory, and
as far as possible cut all the leather you
manufacture, thereby muklng all the profit'
thero Is In the business.
Mr. Warren has patented several pro
cesses for tanning hides and his references
aro excellent. Ho appears very anxious to
locato here, and If suitable arrangements
can bo made It Is most likely that a visit
from eastern capitalists will be made here
shortly.
In replying to Mr. Warren General Man
ager Kenyon wroto: "It occurs to us that
a profitable business could bo worked up
hero. Last year there were purchasod by
the packers at this point 432,260 head of
cattlo and 631,804 head of sheep. I hopo
that tho Commercial club may bo able to In
terest you In this location."
Secretary Watklns Is now In communica
tion with Mr. Warren and hopes to bo ablo
to secure a suitable slto for a tannery be
foro long. With a slto on the line of a
railroad thero will be llttlo difficulty, it is
asserted, In providing for tho erection of a
tannery. By a now process very llttlo tan
bark Is needed In tho tanning of hides, and
this will bo ono of tho features In con
nection with tho establishment of a factory
here. Hides can be bought In great quanti
ties at this point at a pr.lce considerably
cheaper than Is paid 'for them I'h the' east.
With this' advantage the" freight on' tanbark
will ho offset to a great extent.
At the present time tho Commercial club
Is handicapped for want of funds to offer a
bonus to factories, but thero Is a movement
on foot to provide tho necessary funds. All
that Is needed Is to secure tho support of the
residents and taxpayers. Good results, it Is
stated, will surely follow.
Street Cur Improvements.
It Is expected that tho efforts of the South
Omnha Commercial club will be successful
In securing better street car service. A bet
ter grado of rolling stock Is demanded and
Judging from promises mado by officials of
tho company the old horso cars, which have
been used -as trailers for years, will bo rele
gated to tho scrap pile and cars of moro
modern manufacture bo placed In service.
Some tlmo ago a member of the Commer-
..,, hualnei ami hi. rnnri u in iv,
, T'e; VA B"81", and his report Is to the
, effect that tho Sherman nvcnuo line is tho
' best paying ono operated by the Omaha
com- Rven If It Is the
, l""1 Pay'ns tho service rendered Is very
i poor. Tho people of South Omaha seem
I determined to securo better service, and
tbey propose to bring this about thriugh
tho different ward Improvement clubs nnd
tho Commercial club.
In speaking nbout this matter one of the
members of tho Commercial club said
"What peoplo want Is a crosstown lino and
we propose to havo it. South Omaha has
been given the worst of tho deal for many
years. All the old rolling stock the com
pany had left from horse car days has been
worked off on us. Now our patience Is ex
hausted, Thero Is a remedy at hand, nnd
It Is our Intention to use It unless we get
better service and moro modem rolling
stock. As regards the crosstown line tho
needs of the public demand that It start at
Thirty-ninth nnd T streets, and end at
Thirteenth and Missouri avenue, This Una
will furnish accommodations for many homo
owners In the eastern and western sections
of the city. When this lino Is In operation
transfers to the main line should be given
at Twonty-fourth nnd N streets."
Tho special committees the council, com
pascd of Trnlnor. Adklns and Miller, have
interviewed tho officers of the company with
what promises to bo good results. This
committee nf the council Is working in con
cert with the Commercial and Improvement
clubs.
St. Amies Church Tnlr.
A fair for the benefit of St. Agnes' church
opened at Blum's hall last night and will
continue until April 29, Tho object Is to
raise funds for the payment of debts of the
church. During tho last year tho people
of St. Agnes' parish havo made many im
provements on tho church property. A hand
some parochial residence has been built and
tho streets adjacent to the church nnd tho
residence havo been graded.
It Is predicted that the fair which opened
last night will be tho most successful ot Its
kind In this vicinity. Members ot the par
(h, especially the women, hnve mado great
preparations for tho event. Many of the
nrtlclcs donated are expensive as well as
attractive. There will be good music every
evening nnd every effort will be made to
secure a largo attendance. As the object
Is a most worthy one, it Is predicted that
tho results will bo gratifying.
Street Coiiilnxlnnrr IIpmIkiis.
John Itoss, for a number of years at the
head of the street commissioner's depart
ment, has tendered his resignation to Mayor
Kelly and the samo has boon accepted to
tako effect next Monday, It Is tho Inten
tion of the mayor to submit an appointment
for this position to tho council at next Mon
day night's meeting of tho council. In con
nection with tho street department Mayor
Kelly says:
Our sidewalks, In the outlying districts
especially, nro nnd have been In a very bad
condition und many of the personnl Injury
suits uro traceablo to that source. This
condition suggests a deplornblo state of In
attention. Jn my opinion every lawful
means should bo adopted to place all side
walks In a good and safe condition.
Our street department Is not what It
should be. Wo have been expending too
much money In this department for the re
sults we have been able to obtain, I pro
pose reorganizing the department and will
glvo It my personal attention.
I'ertnlnlnK to I'nllei Mnltrn.
Considerable Interest Is being manifested
In tho appointment of a chief of police nnd
Mayor Kelly Is being urged to mako a se
lection as soon ns convenient. 'As has been
previously noted tho place has been offered
to Miles Mitchell, but It Is understood that
Mr. Mitchell demands nn Increase In salary
as well as soveral other concessions. Under
tho present charter no more than $65 a
month can bo paid tho chief and Mitchell
-will not tako the placo for this sum. Mayor
Kelly is now casting about for a suitable
man for chief and It Is likely that nn
appointment will bo forthcoming before
long.
Acting Chief Alllo Is In charge of the
force and ho Is doing nil he can to keep
the city clear of thugs and suspicious char
acters. Tho now appointees on tho force, aro
working with Alllo nicely and aro render
