Tho previous call for a statement was made on March 2S. By the figures prepared by the banks last night In response to the call, an increase in deposits since March 28 oC ISAM! is shown. Loans and discounts for the three banks show an Increase of 1384,520. Cash on hand and sight exchange shows an ln citaae of I5D3,92 ' It is stated at the banks here that the large increase In deposits at this time Is caused partly by the country banks send ing money here to be placed on deposit subject to draft. ' One banker said that tho fartners and feeders throughout tho state Tiad sold a large portion of their cattle and that the money had been deposited In country bunks. The country banks, not desiring to keep large sums on hand, had sent consignments to the South Omaha r. bnnks. This money sent from country banks does not draw Interest, so the bankers say, . but Is merely placed to the credit of out . t lilt bunks . to be used as daslred. -Tury tf-rft Live Stork Kirhtsge Meeting;. , At yesterday afternoon's meeting of the ' South Omaha Live Stock exchanna a corn s'. nilttca from the Omaha Commercial club presented an Invitation to the exchange '. to take a trip over the Union Pacific lines ' in Nebraska.

City Infested with Tramps. During the last few days tramps have been pouring Into the city and in spite of all the limited police force can do some manage to get away. Sunday night two dosen were arrested end detained over night. In police court yesterday Acting Judge Caldwell cut the bunch right in two. Twelve he gave city Jail sentences and the other dosen he directed to leave the city within an hour. The police do not seem to know where all the tramps are coming from Just now, but they are here Just the same. Thoee who escape the officers detailed to watch the railroad yards make a break for the residence portion of the city and demand something to eat. Lat Saturday afternoon one family living m the eastern portion of the city was accosted by eight different tramps who wanted either food or money. "What is needed," said a city official last night, "is a good husky rock pile with plenty of stone to break. When this Is brought about it may be that tramps will not stop oft at South Omaha." Tattle Uan Company Protests. A communication has been received by City Cleric Olllln from the attorneys for the Omaha Cattle Loan company. A pro test Is made against paying taxes on a corporation where the stock Is held by persona residing outside the state of Ne braska. This letter refers to the taxes assessed for 1903, which amount to ri.422.50. A tender Is made to pay the principal, providing tho interest from Jan uary 1. 1904, is deducted irom the amount due. The letter goes on to say that this tender is made in preference to going Into court and fighting the legality of the city to assess stock held by those residing outside the city and state. This communi cation has been referred to the finance committee of the council and the city at torney for a report- Aaxlltary Elects Officers. The following officers have been elected by the Woman's Auxiliary of the South Omaha Young Men's Christian association: Mrs. William Berry, president; Mrs. W. McBurney, first vice president; Mrs. N.

Following tho action of the Amalgamated Meat Cutters' and Butchers' association of North America, taken at Chicago, the Packing Trades council here has declared that It has ceased to affiliate with certain local unions. The unions that now stand alone are the coopers, the packing house carpenters, the can makers, steam fitters, cir repairers, blacksmiths and blacksmiths' helpers. In all about 890 men are declared not members of the Packing Trades coun cil. In order to become a member of this council the unions mentioned must secure a oharter from the Amalgamated associa tion. All unskilled labor Is also barred, and will have to look after the Interests of Its various unions for the time being at least. There was little comment on this new ordei in South Omaha yesterday, as the matter had been discussed at the Cincinnati convention and the understanding .was that the ordei prohibiting tho Amalgamated as sociation, from affiliating with unskilled labor and other orders not chartered by tho association would be issued about the middle of June. No effort has been made so far by the unions who have been barred' from the Packing Trades council to secure membership In the Amalgamated associa tion, but it is thought that some action will bo taken this month to secure charters In ihu national association.

EAttES IN THEIR FLIGHT Samson Eoarti a Bnnch of the Brave Birds cf Fisedom. ONE NIGHT GIVEN THEM AT THE DEN Three Hundred and Elghty-Foor Get All that Is Coming; to Them and Io Sot Ask for Change or Chocks. Yeat Yea I It was Eagles' night at Ak-Sar-Ben den Monday night And there was no mistake about it All airlines lead to the den. Three hundred and eighty-four Eagles, American, bald-headed, golden, harping and other kinds of eagles, all good birds, soared from their various aeries to pay homage to King Ak-sar-ben. About 200 of the flock are members of the 'local aerie, No. 38, while the others make their nests in nearby towns. The new vassals to the kingdom of Qulvcra gathered at the rookery of the Omaha aerie and flew in double file with colors flying to the den. where all was In readiness for their reception. And a live lier aggregation of feathered creatures never before knocked at the sacred portals of King Ak-Sar-Ben. In addition to the Eagles some twenty-five of the visiting veterinarians were present After the Grand Baszasa had read the riot act and performed the other functions of his holy office, and the Great Orand and Supreme Scribe read the minutes of the last mobilization, the fuse was lighted and the feathers began to fly. The atmosphere was oppressive with floating down and the odor of incinerated eagle flesh. It was a wild night, but in the language of the classics, they certainly got what was com ing to them. There was no short change racket; everyone received his money's worth and no questions asked, and no re bates nor trading stamps given. Every thing was open and above board, even If that lunch was somewhat Illusive. But eagles are eagles; there was not a streak of yellow in the whole bunch. After tho Flight Was Over. The fragments of eagles that were left after the commencement exercises were concluded, were gathered up by the stew ards and taken into the banquet hall. It was a sight for the gods td see those eagles Impale their talons and claws Into the flesh pots. They stood not upon their or der of Impaling, but impaled at once and as one bird. They were hungry and thirsty. Exhausted nature called for sustenance and they got it While the material things of the occasion were disappearing Grand Mufti A. 8. Rit chie announced the program of words and song. The Eagle quartet rendered numer out selections, and those of the Eagles that make a noise screeched and flapped their wings until the rafters of the build ing vibrated, and the lemonade glasses shook on the tables. John W. Batten, Dr. W. J. Ford and Rov. Ferd Pougeon, M, A. L., of Excelsior Springs, Mo., responded to toasts. The last mentioned speaker made the hit of the evening with one of hli characteristic witty talks. Having lost his manuscript in the flight, Dr. Ford was un able to speak on "Cohesion, Adhesion and Chemical Affinity," "Political Reform" and "Words," so Instead he gave a few ex temporaneous remarks. It was announced that the total number of vassals now claiming allegiance to King Ak-Sar-Ben number 1,487. Ban-lee from Other Aeries. Among the visiting Eagles were the fol lowing: From Beatrlee-i-O.

Regarding story printed in a local paper that federal court In Omaha would need to be brought to an abrupt finish this term because of a lack of funds and the particular statement by that paper that there is a pleasing coincidence that this shortage of funds should occur Just at this Juncture, which means that the Colby and cattle fencing cases, and others to which more or less political significance is attached. District Attorney Baxter Bald: "It is a gratuitous and uncalled for re flection upon the department of Justice and Is not at all warranted by the facts. It was Intended by this office to begin the trial of the cattle fencing cases, three of them early next week. The witnesses al ready have been summoned, but owing to the condition of the public finances for operating the court, I have today tel egraphed the witnesses that they need not come. "This shortage of funds is not at all an unusual occurence at this particular season of the year, being the close of the flsoal year In all of the government departments. This state of affairs cannot be foreseen at the time the requisition for funds is made, which are usually for the quarters. It is not usual that the courts continue so closely upon the end of the fiscal year. In view of this fact Judge Munger has sought to have Introduced a bill In con gress setting the date for the spring term of court a month earlier than at present so that the present contingency may not occur. He will urge the passage of suoh a measure at the coming session of con gress.

United States Marshal Mathews said In reference to the matter of the shortage of funds for oporatlng the United Staton courts at this time. "The condition Is not an unusual one by any means. It should be borne in mind that the appropriations for the operation of the United States court are made In bulk and not for any particular court or district" Will Do All This for Ton.
