OAVlD LAMAR AND D. H. LEWIS THE SAME
fad go tny Says Hs IdeatlUe Lamar
. la Craw af Tire Thoweaa a
j Lewis, a Former Resl-
deat af Omaha.
David timer, who It add by J. P. Mor
gan'! attorneys to be the central figure In
the arult In New Jersey to restrain the con
version of the preferred stock of the Steel
trust, and who Is said to be taking a posi
tion with reference U that trust analogous
to that taken by Peter Power In the rail
way merger, was once a resident of Omaha,
according to affidavit mad by Judge Oeorge
la. Day of this city.
When David Lamar lived In Omaha he
was known aa David H. Lewis and showed
one of the marks which now attach to him
as an associate of the leaders of "the
street." Breaking of him yesterday morning,
Judge Day said:
"I could not be mistaken In the man. My
same was attached to some papers which
had been in bis possession and the attorneys
for his antagonists wrote to Senator Millard
to ascertain my standing an If I still lived
In the cHy. I afterward received an Invi
tation te oome to New York and see if 1
could Identify the man. I went to the race
! track and picked him out of more than
?S.0M people there assembled. There la no
kioubt of his identity In my mind.
" OAew Faraltwre Attached.
"It was in March, 18Bt that I became ac
quainted wtth htm. He had an office in the
New Tprk Life building and was an adver
tising special let. preparing blotters and
ether forms of advertising for the publlo
generally. He bad a law suit with, a man
Darned Long, who had attached some of bis
office furniture. J defended him in that
ault and acted for him in another transac
tion. Aside from this I knew nothing about
bis business, but never looked upon him aa
man of wealth. Edward Haymaker, sec
retary of the Rees Printing company, went
en his replevin bond and probably know
more about blm than I do."
Mr. Haymaker said: "If that Is really
David H. Lewis, I knew him in a business
way fairly well. He came here and placed
orders with us for the printing of his ad
vertising specialties. When he had the law
suit oyer his office furniture I went on his
replevin bond and I bad to pay that bond.
too. The amount, aa I remember It, was
40, and ha failed to reimburse me when he
left. It I am not mistaken we have a book
account against him of about ISO which he
failed to pay. He drifted out of Omaha and
we never knew anything more about blm.
We thought it waa of little use to look
hlra up."
Others Remember Lewie.
Several other persons remember Lewis in
vague way. Judge Day says that he can
not understand the reaaon the people who
mi uL-ii to tins ars eo as!o aa-
certain his past record, as it would appear
to have little bearing upon the case at Is
sue. A New fork paper eays:
Lamar lives In a handsome residence op
nnalta the Democratic ciub in Fifth ave
nue, spends his evenings at the Waldorf
and haa a beautiful summer home at Bea-
ife ia the owner of several blue-blooded
hnrui and Mi-Tlea on his Derson at all
times large sums of money. It is nothing
uncommon for Mr. Lamar to have loO.OOu
cash in his pockets while walking about
,Wall street.
Lamar came to New Tork a few years
ago from Atlanta, On., where be bad
elaborately furnished offices. When he ar
rived he was una to do pracucauy penni
less. Ha at once became an intimate with
the big market leaders and for the last
few years haa made himself conspicuous
by the free way In which he spent money.
Recently he purchased a large steam
yacht ana this will be sent to Europs to be
usea oy mm in me ueauerraneiui.

OMAHA'S HEW CLOTHIftO TORK.
Saturday, August So, the new clothing
firm. Berg-8wenson Co., will open Its doors
to the public, and invites everyone to come
and inspect their most complete new stock
of men's and boys' clothing, hats and furnishings.
This store, which Is located at the north
east corner of Fifteenth and Douglas, has
been entirely refitted and rearranged In the
most modern manner and with the tables
and shelves laden with fresh new goods pre
sents an example of the 20th century cloth
ing store, one of which Omaha people may
well be proud.
The members of the firm ars well known
In this locality, having spent the greater
part of their Uvea here, and are conceded
to be expert authority on everything per
taining to men's and boys' wearing apparel.
Mr. Berg is connected with the firm of D.
Adler A Sons' Clothing Co., Milwaukee, one
of the largest clothing manufacturing con
cerns in the country. Mr. Swanson has
been clothing manager and buyer for Hay
den Bros, for the last ten years and Is well
known as one of the beet Judges and
shrewdest buyers of men's and boys' cloth
ing in the west. Mr. Monson Is at pres
ent running one of the largest and most up-
to-date general stores in the State at Osce
ola, Neb., and is also Interested in another
store at Stromsberg, Neb.
In outlining the policy of the new firm
Mr. Swanson said It would be similar to
that of the Hub In Chicago, known aa one
of the model men's stores In America.
'In all metropolitan cities,? said Mr.
Swanson, "there is a large number of men
who, while not 'freakish,' are careful dress
ers. They want stylish dependable gar
ments at fair prices. They want complete
lines of styles and fabrics to select from
and they don't want to pay fancy prices for
the sake of doing business with a came.
That Is the class the moat desirable in the
city that we Intend to cater to. The Berg-
Swanson Co. will carry complete assort
ments, showing every deuirable and season
able production and giving every customer
the guarantee of proper style, fit, finish and
quality at a satisfactory price. In other
words, we believe our experience and capfr-
tal will enable us to run such a' store that
Omaha men can come here and feel sure
of obtaining Just what they want In cloth
ing and, furnishing lines at the lowest
prices at which they can possibly be sold
anywhere In America."
A corps of courteous and attentive sales
men will always be ready to show you
through the, store and give you every pos
sible attention.
Particular attention will be given the fit
of every garment sold always giving the
customer the particular style or cut best
suited to his slse or build and own per
sonal tastes.
In their boys and youths' department will
be found complete lines of the novelties as
well as the staples In unrivalled completeness.
The furnishings and hat departments are
replete with all the new things the season
haa produced.
In fact the most particular dressers la
Omaha can come to this store and find their
every want realised.
It will be worth the time of every person
to pay a visit to this store on Its opening
day, Saturday, August SO.

Apropos of the railroad tax sua and ttia

tentlon. This year, as you know, our men

obliged to find an extra team, and In vt.

our liverymen, of course, at the lwa .t.

for seven days. On looking up this man's
assessment I find that his hnrnea war. ...
sessed at $7 per head. In other wnpd. .-
assessed valuation of his horse exactly
equalled the net amount returned from that
norse ior one week, ror during the week we
bad it ws fed and cared for the animal.
Messrs. Harrington and Hows were loud In
their denunciations of the railroad im.
pany because of the fact that the assessed
valuation oniy equalled the net returns
from the roads for one year. Our livery
man, who, by the way, had his horses as
sessed on the same basis as farmers gen

don't want any man's money until he is
satisfied that we give him more for it than
he can get elsewhere.
There has never been a time when
your money would go so far as it will this
fall. Never a place where it will go nearly
as far as it will here.
