Inasmuch as i . the checks he gave In payment have len 't promptly cashed, a hoat of new friends are still friendly and are patiently waiting i for the next visit of Mr. Schurman In i order to load him up with the remaining half of the negotiable personal property ! of the olty. . . ... j On brief trip to Omaha resulted in the following purchases by Mr. Bchurman, ac cording to the statistics at present'at hand: bne $5,000 music store stock, which he haa stored; any amount of gold, silver and copper stork In western mines; six homes and -six buggies, stored at several livery stables; four hornes, bought but not col lected; furniture adequate to stock a hotel; elslit or nine overcoats obtained from the wearers because they pleased Mr. Schur tnan's fancy, and a vast lot of small col lateral distributed at various points within the city Mmlts. Mr. Schurman made his debut In Omaha by HUdiienly appearing In a popular bar one day and walking up' to a well-dressed (nun, whom he tapped on the shoulder and addressed: . Likes the Goods. "I beg your pardon, but I like your over coat. How much do you want for It?" The Individual addressed was offended and made an Irritable remark. "Oh, that's aU right," auld the Iowa man, and he pulled out a card about four Inches square. The conversation closed by Echurmati buying the coat, which coat possibly t3, for 0, and then declining to tuka (t for the present, saying that to de prive the original owner would be a hard ship to him. But the transaction was ended by the usual check. ' The same day he went out on the street and t.ought two hortcs for round sums, presenting checks and telling the sellers that he would call for the propety later. To remonstrances from- business acquaint ances he said: "Oh, God Is with them. They can't get away from him. My property Is perfectly safe." Other things he bought In the same way, postponing delivery, but paying cash. Some of the parties he dealt with Insisted upon turning the goods over to him, however, and as a result the livery ptables and storage houat-s were, called Into service. The Joy that Schurman brought was not restrained to the few, and when he left the city there were at least a dosen volunteers at his hotel offering to pilot'- him to the station. He seemed to be Incapable of refusing any of them, but a local business man tlnally Induced him to run the gauntlet and got him safely on the train. Made Money oa Farm. Ah nearly as can be ascertained, Schur man mado hli) snug fortune on a large farm, became interested In Christian Science, leased lits farm and moved Into a small town. He has a wife and family and contemplated going Into the munio store business. That is what Induced him to come to Omaha. Inquiries of persons from whom he had made purchases brought the story out and was related by a business man whom Schunnan had made his con rid int. "I am not positive that Schurman Is the man's right name," said he, "but his checks are honored immediately and I have been toll that he has at least H0. 000 In the bank." new Methodist hospital, the Poor Clare convent and the Hyegia Creamery com pany's building, are Included in the list.

Samuel Reichnnberg aguinat the Mason City & Fort Dodge Railway Company (the Chicago Great Western) Is the title of an injunction suit brought In the United States circuit court. The complainant alleges that he Is the owner of certain property In , Kountze tz Ruth's addition to the city of Omaha, lo cated on the west sldo of Nineteenth street, between Leavenworth and Mason streets. This property he Is occupying as1 a home. The petition further states that the city council of Omaha has given to the respond entH, without any consideration therefor, the use of said Mason street between the south line of the complainant's property and , Mason street. and by reason thereof the complainant's property Is reduced between thirty and forty feet, by the vacation of said street and the re-eBtabllthment of the grade of the street, without compensating the ad jacent property owners. The complainant therefore asks that a writ of injunction be issued out of the United Stutes circuit court restraining the enforcement of the ordinance and the oc cupation of Mason street by the respond ents. No date has yet been fixed by the court for the final hearing of the case, though under the court rules It may not be heard until January, or possibly In February, 1904.

Kellogg, president of the Saona Island Development company, haa recently arrived in this city to confer, re garding certain matters connected with the management of the company,' with David C. Patterson. 601 South Twenty-eighth street, an Omaha real estate man, who has apent some time In Ban Domingo. He re fuses to be4 Interviewed regarding the situ ation In the Island, but Mr. Patterson haa explained some details of affairs, in that place. He says: "The revolution in San Domingo Is of considerable Interest to a syndicate of i Omaht citizens who, some time ago, through President Jlmlnes, now the head , of the present revolution, secured a valua ble concession for a railroad and for Immi gration purposes. These concessions pro vided that the government should pay the cost of the construction of the railroad, in terest thereon, and the fare of all Immi grants brought in. To guarantee these payments the government set apart and assigned 63 per cent of the customs re ceipts. These concesxions cannot be an nulled by any subsequent administration and resulted in a political Issue against Jlmlnei by his enemies, who maintained that the concession In effect would give the Omaha syndicate control of the rail roads of the country at the expense of the government, and also enable foreigners to bring in Immigrants at government ex pense. This would result in the Domini cans losing control of the Island, it was argued. Coald Kot Sappreas War. "Jlmlnes was unable to supress the revolution which soon followed, and was succeeded by his vice president, Vasques, Within one year Vasques was overthrown by General - Oil. and now It seems that Jimtnes and his army are in control of the country and have Oil surrounded In Ban Domingo City. "The revolution now in progress Is the usual method of holding elections down south, but little blood will be spilled, and the vanquished, while their feelings may be hurt, need not wait four yeara for a new election, but can try their chances again soon if they have any following or money. The revolution last year occurred while we were surveying fol the railroad and It was over before we heard of It. Foreigners there take but little Interest In these revolutions, or elections, as all political partlea are careful not to molest foreigners or their property, and all the augar plantations and large Industries are owned by foreigners. "Vasques and Oil are both very able poli ticians, and Jlmlnes Is a superior man In business affairs, but Is not regarded as so able a military man aa the others. He was regarded by the business men when presi dent before aa too liberal, and trouble waa predicted for him when he Invited all ex iles to return. He la the son of a former president, and made a large fortune lu ex porting tualtogany from the leiaud; It was his b kiuckS aucceea and skill la gaining I political Influence which caused President i HeureauY tn evil him. Ha was In New York at the opening of the Cuban war. and when our government chartered the steamer Fan: la ar.d loaded It with 3,000 rifles and 1,000,000 rounds of ammunition together with other accoutrements of war It was placed In charge of General Jlmlnes, ostensibly to be taken to aid General Gomes in Cuba. Why this vessel was placed In charge of an exiled Dominican haa never been known. The Navy and War departments both say there are no records bearing upon the mat ter. "Instead of going to the assistance of his former friend, General Gomes, In Cuba, JImlnea sailed straight by Cuba, and at his own peril ordered an attack on Ban Domingo. A atop waa made at a British Isle and a pilot engaged, after which a landing waa made at Cape Haytl, where nine recruits were taken on board. At mid night in May, 189$, the Fanlta, flying the Stars and Stripes, anchored In the Bay of Monte Cristo. Armed to the teeth Jlml nes led his few followers to the shore and captured the governor. His Intention was to capture the garrison and organise an army to march on Ban Domingo city, but the garrison was not surprised. It gave him a warm reception and he was only able to escape to the Fanlta. The pilot was re turned to the British Isle, where Jlmlnes was arrested for violation of the foreign enlistment act. "At the second trial at Nassau (the first resulted In a disagreement) he was ac quitted and fled to Europe, as he dared not go to Cuba to meet Gomes or land In the United States to meet certain arrest. Mat ters here became strained, with the United States. A government vessel had been; en gaged In a conspiracy to overthrow the government of Ban Domingo and heavy damages were to be demanded. But a cruiser waa sent to Ban Domingo, explana tions and apologiea were made and Presi dent Heureaux waa pacified. The following year Heureaux waa assassinated, Jlmlnes was elected president and peace prevailed for some two years. He was then over thrown by Vasques. His experiences since In regaining power must be very Interesting history." New Cnro for WMk Longs.

GRAIN EXCHANGE AND WATER Former is Advocated by Local Men and Irrigation by Maxwell. MEETING AT REAL ESTATE EXCHANGE Strong; Appeals Are Mado to Business Men of bask la Behalf of. These Elements of Success. The Real ' Estate exchange yester day listened to addresses by George II. Maxwell on national Irrigation and G. W. Wattles and A. L. Reed on the Omaha Grain exchange, and passed a resolution condemning the pro posed action at the city council In making a street corner advertising contract, and appointing a committee of fifteen to wait upon the council Monday to protest. Mr. Wattles said: "I don't think it necessary to speak at length to you gentlemen who are so Inter-1 rated In the growth of Omaha on the grain exchange. You all know what it attempts. Its officers are working to build up here an enterprise of great benefit to every busi ness In the city. The principal product of the territory on which Omaha depends Is grain. Thla does and always has passed through this city and around it to our com petitors. We are bidding for trade In this community without trying to tuke In re turn their principal product. This condi tion would have continued probably for years, but there comes here a railroad which without a cent of expense to us offers to put In rales which will enable ua to make a grain market in Omaha We once voted to raise $700,000 In bonds for a road which would do this, but the road was never built because of hard times. Now the Chicago Great Western offers to do all this. We will have to meet a strong opposition from some sources which believe they will be Injured by the change, and for this we will need a strong corporation with a large fund. I hope no opposition will rise, for it will have to go down." George H. Maxwell mads an impassioned attempt to arouse the members to an ef fort looking to a broadening of the Irriga tion laws. He aaid that he had devoted fifteen of his best years and $20,030 of his own money to the work and raised over 1300,000 for its advancement, and wanted no reward but eucoeas. He pointed out that the greatest way to Improve Omaha waa to Increase the population of the slate, and said that If the Irrigation work possible on the North Platte were carried out as soon as possible the population of Omaha and the state could be doubled In ten years. The thing that must be done waa by local organization to' create such an influence on the state legislature and on congress that the national Irrigation laws be amende! ao that the secretary of the treasury, could make loans to the irrigation fund f.r Im mediate use. If this waa not done tne North Platte work might not be .dona tor many yeara and perhaps never, ai.d ' the western half of tte state would be aband oned to gracing. Annually, according to Mr. Maxwell's figures, the North liatte furnished 4.000,000 acre-feet of water which went to waste, which If stored would re claim over 1,000,000 aorea In Nebraska. i CURIOSITY.
