PACKERS FEAR ROOSEVELT
Jle la Etid to Be One Cause of Deity in
Their Merging.
WALL STREET SAYS COMBINE IS "SICK"
plaa Wm for Kxtenslve t'nderwrltlasT,
but th Prrnlilrnt'i Attitude sad
the Greatness of th Amosnt
Delay Conanmmat Ion.
From Couth Omaha sources, ordtnarllr
truatworthy, it li learned that one Theo
dore Roosevelt of Oyster Day and Wash
ington, D. C, la smong the good and suftl
dent reasons for the very apparent delay
In the conaummatlon of the merger of the
giant packing induntrlen. Another reason
may be come difference between the
Cuddhy and Swift clans, but these are less
n obstacle than the-publlc-haa-a-rlght-to-know-and-to-be-protected
Idea of the pres
ident of the United States.
The Bee's Informants concede that these
Impediments will delay the arrival of the
completed combine until next spring at the
earliest. They deny, however, that the
merger aa a tacit transaction or - under
standing la any less than consummated.
They unhesitatingly declare that the "so
CAlled differences" between the Cudahya
nd Swifts can be adjusted without
much difficulty, but when queried aa to the
pacification of President Roosevelt the only
answers ventured ore evasive and Imply a
I doubt which the speakers decline to con
fess openly.
Walt Street' ftlaanoala.
From New York theword la sent that on
the atreet the packing bouse combination
,Js described aa "sick." And this means a
great deal.
"Insiders In the deal," an authority Is
quoted as saying, "have raised approx
imately $50,000,000. with which planta have
been purchased. In order to be merged.
While the money borrowed has been In
vested In substantial properties, there Is
no doubt high prices have' been necessarily
paid."
'Tie true, It aeema not unreasonable for
'Westerners to assume that although these
big loana have been grounded on aound
assets such an Indebtedness would not have
been Incurred except for the purpose of
reselling and distributing the cost In the
form of securities to be disposed of to the
public. (
More Than a Minute's Work.
'Along this line the same New York au
thority Is quoted aa saying: "In view of
the Immense sums thus far expended In
the acquisition of planta the necessity for
$90,000,000 of underwriting capital becomes
more apparent. It Is easy enough also to
see that auch an amount aa that cannot
be raised for a considerable period. The
insiders will be obliged to carry their ob
ligations and hope for the best. Sickness
and death are not synonymous terms In a
financial any more than a medical sense,
tut they are equally suggestive of chance."
In New York last Thursday break in
Swift t Co. stock to 117 was regarded as
one of the necessary and Inevitable re
sults of the element of uncertainty pro
Tailing In the negotiating of the merger.
Moreover tho selling was by some of the
big as well as the less Important people.

discussion, "Advantages of Franks," Miss
Waterhouse; oration, "CIovIb," Mr. Cope

tive side being upheld by Miss True 'and
Mr. Edc, who were victorious; cither solo,

WeeVi Search f ails to DiaoloM Cashier
Robert' Whereabsata.
RELATIVES BEGIN TO FEAR FOUL PLAY
Aver that His Temperate Habits and
Correct Aeconnts Are Sufficient
Refutation of Any Theory of
Voluntary Disappearance.
Frank K. Roberts, cashier at the Pacific
Express company's office in South Omaha,
has been missing from his office snd his
lodgings for a week. Ills friends are be
coming worried and the police have been
asked to assist friends and relatives in
locating the young man.
Last Sunday night Roberts accompanied
C. J. Jaycox to Boyd's theater. After the
show the two friends walked to Fourteenth
snd Harney street. Roberts told Jaycox
that he was going to take a car for his
home In South Omaha and Mr. Jaycox left
him, walking north to Fornam street, where
he boarded a westbound car.
When Roberts did not sppear at the ex
press office on Monday last a messenger
was sent to his lodgings at Twenty-third
and K streets to ascertain If he was 111.
The messenger returned with the Informs.
tlon that Roberta had not been home. A
notice was then sent to the superintend
ent, who had the combination of the safe,
and the strong box wss opened. A thorough
examination showed that Roberts' accounts
wore all right and that he had fifteen days'
salary coming to him.
When It waa learned that the accounts
were all right, relatives were notified and
a still hunt was commenced, which has
continued for a week. So far, no trace
has been obtained of the mlsslsg cashier.
Roberta was sbout 27 years of. age
smooth-faced, a blonde and about 6 feet 4
Inches In height. His weight Is given as
135 pounds.
A relative of Roberts' who wss In the
city yesterday afternoon said that Frank
Roberts neither, drank nor gambled and
that there aeemed to be no reason why be
should disappear. His clothing Is still at
his lodgings and the fact that he had
money coming to him rather tends to
dispel the idea that he left the city volun
tarily. It Is feared that he met with foul
play, as It was known that he had about
IjO on his person when at the theater.
Roberts had been In the employ of the
Pacific Express company for nearly four
years, having been stationed at Nebraska
City until about four months ago, when
he was transferred to South Omaha. His
parents reside at Hastings. They have
been notified of the disappearance and are
ualna- everv effort to locate their son. AH
of the hospitals In Omaha have been vis
ited, but no such person has been found.
Trainmen at the depots In Omaha snd
here have been questioned, but they failed
to divulge any Information of value. Rela
lives say that young Roberts had not be
come entangled In any love affair, and
they scout the idea of his having sloped
with a woman. In the meantime the search
continues.

DR. KILMER A CO., BInghamton, N. T.
GENTLEMEN: While It has never been my habit or Inclination to recommend
remedies the Ingredients of which are not all known to me, it seems as If I should
make an exception In the oase of Dr. Kilmer's Swamp-Root. My experience, so far
as I have tested It In my practice, forces me to the conclusion that It la a remedy of
the greastest value In all uric acid, kidney, liver, bladder and other Inflammatory
conditions of ths genlto-urtnary tract. I now taks pleasure In prescribing Swamp
Root in all auch esses with a feeling of assurance that my patients will derive great
benefit from its use. I shall contlnus to prescribe It In other cases In my praotlos
with the expectation of the best results. Very truly yours.

GENTLEMIDN'? I hare prescribed that wonderful remedy for kidney complaint.
Dr. Kilmer's Swamp-Root, with most beneficial effect and know of many cures by
its use. These patlenta had kidney trouble, as diagnosed by other physicians, and
treated without benefit. Dr. Kilmer's Swamp-Root effected a cure. I am a liberal
man and accept a specific wherever I find It, In an accepted school or out of It For
desperate cases of kidney complaint under treatment with unsatisfactory results I
turn to Dr. Kilmer's Swamp-Root with most flattering results. I shall continue to
prescribe It and from personal observation state that Swamp-Root has great ouratlve
properties. Truly yours.
