tion Will lie Tnltpn,
At the meeting of tho county commis
sioners todtr ft proposition to nettle tho In
debtedness of the defunct Oerman Savings
bunk to tho county at 50 cento on tho dollar
will hn submitted. It Is not known what ac
tion the commissioner! will take on the
proposition.
If Ilecelver McCag,ue's offer Is accepted
there will be a consequent not Ions to the
county of 13,88S, aside from tho loss of
nhout 1100 In Interest. When tho German
Savings bank failed In U3G It had on de
posit JJ9,85.14 of tho county's cash. Since
then tho rocclver has pnld the county
treasurer the sum of $11,007.10, IphvIiik a
balanco of $27,778.01 due from the bank.
Ilecclvcr McCasue how offers I3.8SD.02, or
CO pCr cent, In full settlement of tho claim.
On May 6 of this year Receiver McCaue
reported to tho district court that alter me
assets of tho bank had been converted Into
cash and tho amount realized had been
paid In dividends to tho creditors and to
defray tho expensm of the receivership
there m still nwtnx "to the depositors the
sum cf 1203,783.30. Judge Kawcott then
mnde an order requiring the receiver to col
lect from the stockholders of tho bank a
sum cufllclunt to pay the balance due de
positors In full. Tho cnultal stock of tho
bank amounted to S00,000, but only 1100,
000 had been paid In, leaving 100,000 duo
the bank from Its shareholders.
I'oaltlon nf htocLliolilrri.
Several weeks ago Ilccelvor McCnguo re
ported to tho court that some of tho Htock
holdcrs nt the bnnk wcrn dend, other had
moved out of the Jurisdiction of the court,
others were Insolvent and a number of
tho solvent ones had offered to puy In the
sum of $10.1, 335, 98 on condition that thoy bo
relieved from further liability In tho case.
Ho stated in his report that It would be
to the best Interests of the bank and Us
credltnra to accept this compromise and
applied for an order of the court authoriz
es; him to accept the $103,33.1.08 and re
lievo tho stockholders from further liability.
On July 6 there was a. hearing on this
application, at which the attorneys for tho
receiver and for the stockholders were
present, but tho county, which Is by tar
the largest creditor of the bank, was not
represented. Judgo Fawcett Issued tho
order applied for by the receiver.
.Considerable surprise has been expressed
that the county attorney was not present
at this hearing to protect the Interests of
the county, whoso claim against the bank
amounts to $27,778, without counting in the
Interest at 3 per cent tilnco 1896.
The constitution of Nebraska provides
that stockholders in all corporations are
liable tor the full amount of their shares
to meet the valid claims of creditors, and
Douglas county Is therefore not forced
to iclleve tho Oerman Savings bank peo
ple upon payment of duly GO per cent of
Its claim.
The county's claim is further protected
by a bond given to secure Its deposit In
the Oerman Savings bank. The bond Is
In the sum of $100,000 and Is. signed by
Charles J. KarbacK, Lorenzo D. Fowler,
W. Segelke and William Krug, all of
whom wero stockholders In tho bank.
COMPLAINT AGAINST MORGAL

Man Who Aaulted
Her.
Mary Marks, tho 12-year-old girl who Is
said to have been assaulted by Edward
Morgal, who was arrested Thursday, ap
peared at the county attorney's ofllce yester
day and swore out a complaint against the

tcntlary at Lincoln. Ho will be brought
here for arraignment In the county court,
after which he. will be Immediately re

against mob Interference.
Morgal's aged mother appoared at tho
Council Bluffs police station yesterday and
Inquired whether she could get possession
of her son's horso nnd buggy from the
Omaha authorities. She said her son had
left home last Wednesday and the rig he
drovo wan his own. When asked It she
thought Ed guilty of the crime charged
against him ahe said: "He must ho, by
what Is In the papers." Mrs. Morgal
wanted to know If the county would sup
port her son's wife and two children while
ha Is la the penitentiary. She was dis
appointed when told that she could not get
tho horse and buggy and that the county
would not support her son's family.

Dwellers In the vicinity of Nineteenth
And Douglas streets wero doubtless sur
prised Inst evening when a crowd of some
thing like 200 young women Invaded tho
neighborhood, marching In groups and
pairs and singing as they went a refrain
that ran something like this!
X.lg-zug, zlg-zjg, zig-zag, zat
V. W Y. V V. W C. A.'
l'eanuts, popcorn, lemonade,
That's the way our monry'a made,
That's no Joke; that's no bluff;
We made the money and that's the stuff.
It developed that the singing crowd was
composed of the members of tho Young
Women's Christian association nnd the
patrons of their lunch rooms who had
assembled to express In this manner their
appreciation of the kindly services of Mrs,
Oeorgo W. Tllden prior to her departure
for an extended trip in the cast next Tues
day. Their song related to the profits
mado by the association In serving refresh
ments at the Ilollstcdt concerts, the brunt
of the burden of that work having fallen
upon Mrs. Tllden.
Mrs. Tlldcn's appearance upon the lawn
at her home was greeted with a cheer and
Miss Katharine Morrison stepped forward
nnd presented her a lingo bunch of Amer
ican Ileauty roses, In which was concealed
a silver berry spoon appropriately Inscribed.
After llrgerlng half an hour seated upon
the lawn the Impromptu guests sang "Ood
He with You Till We Meet Again" and do
parted. ICKS IS HOSKS.
A I'rrtty Wny of .irrvlnw Crennia nnd
Mirrlict.
A hostess need not wholly depend on tha
caterer for attrnctlve devices In the serving
of food, especially creams and sherbets. A
llttlu Ingenuity and deftness of hand some
times go n great ways. There Is no prettier
or more nrtlsllo way of serving Ices than In
homc-miulo shells In the form of roses
American llcautlcs preferably, although
those of different colors lire scarcely less
attractive, and for n large entertainment
lend variety of hue.
Tho making of tho paper shell Is a very
simple matter. Select a thiu-edged drink
ing glass, having an opening about ns Iarg4
as tho circle, Fig. 1. Cut out of heavy un
ruled writing paper a circular piece about
half nn Inch larger than tho opcnlrt.j in
tho glass and mould the shell over the top
an shown In Fig. 2. This Is very easily
done by having a round piece of thick card
board tho bIzh of the opening, putting tie
palm of tho band over tho glass and press
ing the cardboard down while you mould
the odgos of the paper with your thumb and
fingers, Ily turning tho glass with your
othor hand, backwards and forwards, you
can very easily press the paper Into the re
quired shape.
Let the glass set on Its bottom' with the
paper sholl covering It, cut a quantity of
rote leaves, like Fig. 3, out of crepe or
plain tissue paper of the desired color, and
with a little flour paste and a small brush
touch the lower edges of the rose petals
nnd stick them on the paper shell, putting
the first row around the edges and the sec
ond around tho bottom of tho shell.
It is a good plan to have several drinking
glasses, and when the paper shell Is drying
on one to mould a new one on another
glass. Dy doing this the shells retain their
shape better and you can progress more rap-
Idly with the work.
When the. petals have dried sufficiently
to hold tight to the paper shell, they can be
slightly curled by running 'them between a
ktilfo blade and your thumb, until they take
on quite, .a natural appearance' (Fig. 4).
To further carry out the pretty conceit,
that ono is eating cream from tho heart of
a rose, a spray of natural rose leaves may
be laid on the plate, and the rose set' nmldst
the leaves, or It these are not obtatnablo
artificial leaves of green crepe paper may bo
used with artistic effect. If the cream be
delicately flavored with rose the conceit Is
all the more realistic.
Either white or pink cream is pretty for
white or pink roses, while lemon cream, or
lemon and orange sherbet, may be used
with good effect In yellow rosea.
Theso shells should be lined with confec
tioner's oiled paper. Cut out a circular
Piece a little larger than that used tor the
shell, mould it also over tho drinking. glass
and it will fit very neatly within it.
Theao linings can bo easily lifted out of
the shells after cream has been served in
them, and fresh linings put In, so that the
roses can be used tor several occasions.
When cream Is to bo served In these
shells It should be made qulto hard, and
taken out in little pyramids, by using
moulds, such as are kept by confectioners.
It these cannot be had, two large spoonfuls
of cream preised together will make a very
nice looking pyramid.
Ices thus served become a pleasure to
the eye as well aa to the palate.
UNTIDY GIBLS AUK RAIW.
lint This Fact Makes Those of that
Kind Partloularlr Coneplcnoaa.
From lafanoy the majority of the girls
In this country are taught lessons In neat
ness. They learn that the minor 'details
of their toilet aro the Important parts of
It and that It thoy are to bo considered
woll dressed they must not overlook eveu
tho slightest Incident that may con
tribute to a symmetrical whole. There Is
ono young woman, however, who seems to
have sot at naught all such conceptions
and has not suffered in consequence. She
Is a very lovely girl, too, who becauso of
n slim purso, does tho greater part of her
summer sewing herself. And sho hain't
a whipped seam In her whole wardrobe.
More than that, she doesn't own a shirt
waist that Ib hemmed around tho bottom
or a voll that hasn't ragged edges, nor a
hat that hasn't the flowers pinned on It,
nor a heavy skirt that hasn't the binding
morely basted on, nor a thin frock that, to
uso her own expression. Isn't blown to
gether without a particular regard for the
looks of Its Interior.
Yet when that young woman makes a
grando toilette, when sho has arranged her
hair nicely nnd donnod ono of the hastily
made gowns with many a pin to hold It
together to be sure, but with a fascinating
knot of ribbon placed hero and a bit of
lace attached there, sho's Just the most
elegant looking young creature In town.
She's superb and enough to make anyone
abjuro forever the tiny methods thoy have
observed nil of tholr lives as right and
proper and to take to pinning things and
leaving them unfinished themselves.
Of course, the effect wouldn't bo tho
same on anyone else, for there's only ono
of her, but Just the same she's a living
tempter to the young to become slovenly
and seo If they can't look nn empress by
dint of their carelessness too.
It's not becauso of hor untldlnrsi, but In
splto of It, that this young woman Is so
good to took at, but who, wanting an ex
cuso to neglcot things, stops to reason
thus?

WORRY LEAVES FINANCE COMMITTEE
Tho Saloon Complained Aaralnat
Fair Draw to a Close
Mallonnlst Pall and
la Injured.
In all probability tho city officials will
bo able to furnish to the purchaser of the
late IDO.OOO bond Issue the much desired
and long since demanded certified copy of
the South Omaha charter. H. L. Cohn,
who went to Lincoln yesterday to secure
thlt, was Informed by Secretary Marsh
that the copy would be immediately made
nnd forwarded to South Omaha without
delay.
The finance committee of tho city coun
cil has worn a worried look ever since
this matter first came before It. The
demand by the attorneys of Mr. Hoobler
for this copy was a surprise to the per
sons having the matter !u charge, although
at the time they did not anticipate any
trouble In securing the certification from
the secretary of stato,
Ever since the first demand was made
for tho copy there has been much corre
spondence over tho (.retiring of this doc
ument, until tho city, tired of tho delay,
sent Mr. Cohn to Lincoln to seo if tho
matter could not be hurried through. It
seems that he was successful in his work
and the copy will bo forwarded todny. At
least ht wn.i so assured by Secretary
Marsh.
Why the city Is so anxious to have this
matter finally closed up is that It means
a difference of 4j per cent and 6 per
cent per nnnura on $50,000 to the city.
The old bonds are still drawing Interest,
Just as If the city had not taken advnntugo
of tho Ave yearn' option to take thorn up.
Tho old bonds drew Interest at tho rato
of 6 per cent, while the new ones only
draw 414 per cent, which, even for a few
days, makes a material difference In tho
obllgatlonH of the city.
Tho Interest coupon) on tho old bonds,
however, are all paid up, so there is no
danger of compound Interest being charged
ngatnst the city. The session laws, con
taining tho new charter, will not bo ready
until after tho first of August and this la
why the city has been so anxious, to se
cure a special certification of tho charter
Independent of the balnnco of tho laws
passed at tho lato session of the legisla
ture. I.nat Day of Sprelnl.
The twenty special police who were ap
pointed to work during the time the street
fair was In progress will be let out either
tonight or Monday and the old force will
have to look after the town's oafety nlono.
The police department says It could
have handled the crowd all right alone
without the assistance of these deputies,
but that moro excitement and a much
larger crowd than has appeared was an
ticipated when the specials were appointed.
Chief Mitchell seems well satisfied with
the energy which has been displayed by
his officers and says their work has
been commendable.
Two Saloon Are Complained Of.
Charles Akofcr, who runs a saloon at
C24 North Twenty-fourth street, and James
Crowley, a saloon keeper at Twenty-fourth
and N streets, were yesterday In
tho pollco court, charged with having vio
lated the state saloon law. The complaints
are mado by Charles H. Long and L. F.
DeLorlmcr.
It was said yesterday that the arrests
aro tho result of the refusal of the saloon
men to pay the promised donations to the
street fair and that the association Is
back of the arrests. They were filed In
the police court by the local attorney for
the fair association and It seems the gen
eral Impression that they aro made for the
sole purpose of causing theso two saloons
to pay nnd to establish a precedent with
the others Just what will happen If they
do not stick to their promises.
Fair Drmva to a Clone.
If there was an disposition on the part
of any great number of people to visit
South Omaha yesterday tho extreme heat
kept them away. Whatever may have been
tlto reason, during the afternoon thj usual
South Omaha crowd did not even appear,
while In the evening not many showed
up on tho streets. During tho day the
Midway was entirely deserted. The high
fences kept out what little breeze was
blowing, whllo tho sun, beating down upon
the paved streets enclosed, made It more
like a furnace than a plearure resort. The
bull fight was held In the evening, but,
contrary to expectations, onfy n few people
appeared, About the snmc kind of an ex
hibition as bad boen given took place. To
day the fair will close. Many of the
booths nre already preparing for the exit
of out-of-town people and are making
plans for the tearing down of their exhibits.
Tho last bull fight of the carnival will take
place at 7 o'clock tonight.

a crowd had congregated to wntch tho ex
hibition. After the accident he wns car

LARGE ASSESSMENT LEVIED
Dnsve Hn Receiver' Report of De
funct rr York
Rank,
WASHINGTON, July 12. Comptroller
Dawes received tho preliminary report from
the receiver of the Seventh National bunk
of New York City today. The receiver
states that his estimates of tho value of
tho assets Is, ot course, only approximate.
He estimates the amount which will Anally
be recovered for the depositors from the
asjets, Including stockholders' assessments,
at about SO cents on thu dollar.
The receiver states that his estimate of
the value of the Marquand collateral Is less
than Is claimed by the directors of the
bank and It Is possible on this account
that the final collections may be somewhat
better than the receiver's estimate.
Comptroller Dawes stated today that all
transactions connected with the advance of
cash to the bank Just prior to its failure
are being carefully Investigated by com
petent counsel and that all legal rights of
the depositors will be protected In thtr.
connection. Comptroller Dwes ordered
today an assessment of 100 per cent on the
$500,000 capital stock of the bank.
The report of the receiver contains no
reference to the investigations now being
mado Into tho question of existence of
criminal Infractions of the law. All these
matters are under the charge of the De
partment of Justice.
NEW YORK. July 12 E. R. Thoma,
president of the Seventh National bank,

saying that the stockholders would be as

At tho first meeting the transnilssourl
tines had been unable to accomplish any
thing because tho Chicago-Mliuiourl lines
could not agree, and on their action de
pended all the rest. Hut Thursday every
one was willing, and It all ended 111 the
Santa Fe recalling Its announcement of tho
now famous 60 per cent cut for July 1J.
Snutn Hack I'p.
Not many days wero left, and this road
hustled Its notice to this effect out tn a
grtat baste. It Is wild that they were al
ready printed before tho Thursday meeting,
as tho traffic men of the Santa Fe road de
cided after Tuesday's session that they had
been foolish not to ngrio at that tlmo to an
understanding that would obviate the cut.
So they knew Just what they would do
tho next time and got their circulars out In
advance In order that there might be no
delay tn their wholesale distribution a toon
as things were settled at tho meeting.
Many other roads which Intended to meet
the cut had already got out thulr announce
ments of It, nnd this later action comes Just
In time to stop distribution ot them. Tlicro
will now bo several thousand useless rate
cutting statements consigned to boiler room
fireboxes.
Goneral Freight Agents K. 11. Wood of
the Union Pacific, Gcorse T. Crosby of the
Durllngton and J. A. Kuhn of the Fremont,
Klkhnrn & Missouri Valley attended Thurs
day's meeting. They returned yosterday
and aro Jubilant at tho result. Nouo of
them wero anxious for a cut, though to Just
what extent It would have affected the west
Missouri traffic Is not known.

a Chicago saloon recently tn Inttlute a cow

mysteries ot tho buffalo organization came
near causing a raid on the place not unlike

Into tho crowded saloon, and, throwing $5
on tho bar, called for a drink. Tha bar
keeper winked at his friends, rang up the
money In the cash register and served the
drink. The cowboy gullet down tho liquor
and then for a moment expect intly watched
tho man. behind the bar.
"Where's my chango?" he Anally re
marked In a quiet tone.
"Change?" remarked tho barkeeper, ex
tending his left hand to the atr.inner. "Why.
you don't got any change, my friend, for you
are now a full-fledgod buffalo."
"Mo a buffalo? Why, man, vou'ro crazy.
I'm no animal, nnd for 2 cents I would
knock your head off," the con-hoy answered,
removing his great fur coat and cquarlng
up to the bar.
Occupants of tho place, fearing trouble,
escaped through a rear door and someone
notified the police. A squad of officers ar
rived Just In time to prevent the n an from
tho west hurling a chair at the plate glass
mirror. The cowboy explained the trouble,
and then to save further dlflWulty tho Ba
loon man returned the change. Later tho
Joko waa explained to the cowboy, but evon
yet he does not qulto understand.
