OMAHA AS BUSINESS CENTER
Barptiiei Cities Dtable Iu Populatioi is
Point of lank Clearing,
EVERY WEEK IT SriQWS NEW GAINS
Cleariaas for Last tils Day a Ip to
Saturday Coma Close to the
Tra-MUIIon-Dullar
Mark.
Omaha continues forging to the front In
more ways than oue, but the way that at
tracts attention all over the country la In
the remarkable but steady gala in bun'.
clearings, which is published ull over tile
country. Many smaller towns which are
having a splendid growth may show a
larger percentage of Increase, but of the
substantial cities Omaha ranks well to the
tront, showing a gain of lti per cent for
last week over the corresponding eriod
last year.
Omaha ranked sixteenth in the Hat of
cities for laMt week In the amount of busi
ness which went through tho banks, and
this la remarkable when It is considered
that no town with a smaller population has
as great bank clearings, while many cities
much lurjar than Oiuli are further Uuttii
the llsl. Among these are Milwaukee, Den
ver. Providence, ItufTalo, Indianapolis, St.
Paul. Los Angeles, Washington and Ro
chester. In this list are cities more than double
tho population of Omaha and cities of ad
vantageous locations, but they are behind
the Gateway of the West when It comes to
our clearings, which is a pretty good index
of the bulk of business transacted in any
city.
Loa Angeles and Denver, both surpassing
Omaha in site, with the vociferous boosters
and boomers, their oealaeless boasts of busi
ness development, their hordes of floatlnc
population, both take a back aeat, as does
also ttu Paul whose lTJ.ouu population gives
it a claim to dintinction.
AJwaja iu considering Oinuha'a bank
clearings it Is only fair to reflect that this
city does net get the clearing at the South
Omaha stock yards. If It did Its total
would surpass many other larger cities.
Not a solitary month since the bank con
solidation, reducing the number of national
banks iu Omaha from seven to five, has
there been a decrease, but every month an
increase in clearings.
For the week Just closed Omaha's clear
ings showed an Increase over the previous
week of 11,259.112 51, bringing the total to
nearly Slt.OGO.OOO.
EX-GOVERNOR'S NAME DROPPED
James K, Boyd Proves Xo Connection
with Salt Against Jack
sonlaa Club.
Former Uovernor James E. Boyd has
tiled a separate answer in the suit of Eliza
Ross against tho Jacksonian club, for the
recovery of money alleged to have been
lost in the club by tier husliand, Robert U.
Ross, while gambling.
Mr. Boyd shows lo the court he was not
a member of the club at the time the said
gambling is alleged to have taken place;
that he never "sat in" or had anything to
do with any game, and was in no way re
sponsible for anything done at the club
rooms.
Attorney John O. Yeiser, fur Mis. Ross,
admits the allegations of Mr. Boyd's answer
have been found to be true and consents
that the suit, as to him, may be dis
missed. This is a case that has been long pending
and in which a great many of the prom
inent dtmocrats of the city are named as
defendants.
Injunction Is Perpetual.
Judge Troup lias made perpetual a tem
porary tnjuiietion against the city of South
Omaha issued on July 14 on asjilication of
Henry C. Sautter. The Injunction will pre
vent the city and Cash Bros., contractors,
from grading U street In front of lot 7,

the alley abutting said property. Judge
Troup holds that bautter had no proper no
tice of the lime or place where appraisers
would sit to consider damages to be
awarded wn account uf the proposed grading.
WALL PAINTED FOR IOWA
Westward tbt Cains af Empira Dapioted
aa a Forty-Foot Canran.
MOVING SCENE FOR THE HAWKEYE CAPITOL
Most Rotable of Many Decorations
Designed to Adorn the He
constructed Building; A
Notable Exhibit.
The north wall of the Vanderbilt gallery
In the American Fine Arts, l West Fifty
seventh street. New York, is none too
large for the canvas required to decorate
one end of the main story of (he Capitol
of Iowa, at Des Moines. Fourteen feet
high and forty feet long, it presents a mov
ing scene and a scene of moving, since It
is a visible interpretation of the 'line,
"Westward the course of empire takes its
way." The painter is Mr. E. D. Blashfleld.
whose mural works for Baltimore and St.
Paul have been exhibited from time to
time In the same gallery prior to their re
moval to the places for which they are
destined.
The Iowa state capitol Is a long building
with central dome, tho lunettes within
which are to be decorated by Mr. Kenyoa
Cox. At one end of the main floor a double
stairway rises to the floor on the right and
left, leaving a balustrade in front of the
stair well. Beyond this balustrade, and on
a level with the floor, Is a wall apace where
Mr. Blashfleld's great canvas will be fast
ened. On the higher wall are vaulted
niches like an arcade, which will be filled
by mosaics and paintings from Mr. Ilel
man, president of the National Academy.
The big decoration Is therefore to be seen
on a level with the beholaer, but at a con
siderable dlatancs beyond certain columns,
as well aa the balustrade and stair well
mentioned.
Details ( the Painting.
The, artist's nams for the composition is
Imply "Wwlward," leaving Uie last of
Bishop Berkley's famous line to Imagina
tion. Led by a group of floating iemaie
gtiiluses in ample draperies, whose diapha
nous, delicately colored robes almost graze
the backs of the four laboring oxen, the
prairie schooner lumbers along with Its
canvas roof, white and yellow In spots
from the level shafts of the sun. On the
front seat is a young woman of notable
comeliness, Blashtleld's type of the Ameri
can girl, and a mui;h .younger sister. By
the side of the Conestoga wagon, marches
another young ' woman In white, holding
two big dogs In leash and a little boy by
the hand. After her come three men of
different ages, abreast, the youngest of
whom turns to address a group of farmers,
who stand In growing maize, and represent
Immigrants already settled. .They watch the
passing company and seem to be exchang-j
lng greetings. Between the youth, who con
tinues westward, and a young woman
among the onlookers, who wears a man's
hat, there Is evidently an Interchange of
looks, suggesting that some day the
youth may return on the trail and per
suade her to venture with him further on
the ' course of empire. Other figures are
less visible near the oxen and beyond the
wagon. Just to the rear, and In the air.
float two more of the draped female spirits,
like a rear guard of supernatural bene
factors. These two groups of wingless graces have
such swinging robes and mantles so lifted
by some breeze not of earthly origin that
they seem to be buoyed p like creatures of
the mist and cloud who' defy the ordinary
laws of nature. They have sweet faces
and their draperies are in lovely tones of
pale yellow, pale green and amethyst. Yet
one carries a broad, open book to signify
education, another the shield of the state,
two more the seeds that are to be sown by
the travelers when they have reached their
goal. The season Is midsummer, verging
on autumn; the hour Is sunset and the fig
ures form a frlexe against a greenish sky.
The light from the west falls on the faces
and fig-urea of angels, men and women,
oxen and -dogs, giving a peculiar glow of
colors, faintly russet or pink, or lilac, to
everything it teaches, colors that are meant
to produce a pattern of decorative tints
which will catch, u4 fclsase Us y from
afar, before one has approached near
enough to distinguish the meaning of ' the
procession.
Framed with Stoue.
The interior which this charming combi
nation of lines and color spots will decorate
Is built of a creamy local stone. There will
be no advanced frame- round the picture,
but it will be separated from the stonework
of the wall by a broad band of gold laid
flat against the surface. At the Vanderbilt
gallery this border of gold has not been
supplied or even indicated, though the deco
ration would be a gainer. Mr. Blashtleld
was at work on the canvass up to recently,
and since it will, not be necessary to
move the picture at once, perhaps he will
have leisure now to run a flat band of gilt
cloth round It as a substitute for the "mat"
in which It will appear at Des Moines.
A notable point In -the composition Is the
absence of large masses In the extreme left
and right, such as painters like to have In
order to concentrate the Interest toward the
center. This makes 1C less a picture, more
a frieze, and suggests that one Is looking
at a section of a procession, the leading
oxen that help to pull the wagon being out
of sight on the left, and other figures hav
ing not yet come Into the picture on the
right. It aids the sense of progression,
which is what the painter desired. New

Says He Came Here from Idaho, Be
came Desperate and Resorted
to Burglary to Se
cure Living;.
George Wilson pleaded guilty to bur
glary before Judge Pay In the criminal
department of. the district court Saturday
morning and was sentenced to eight years
In the penitentiary.
Wilson is the young man who was ar
rested on suspicion of having entered the
residence of F. S. Cowgill by way of the
front porch one'night recently. The plun
der taken consisted of Jewelry valued at
JyJ. That the police made a good catch
was proven shortly after Wilson had been
arraigned before Judge Day. He first en
tered a plea of not guilty and the court
named Attorney B. H. Clark to defend him.
Wilson at once held a conference with the
attorney and within a few minutes an
nounced he was ready to change his plea
to guilty on the Cowgill charge.
County Attorney Slabaugh tuld the court
that, while only one charge had been pre
ferred, the police suspected Wilson of hav
ing committed burglary at Senator Mil
lard's residence and the residences of Tom
Deiinison, Judge Wakeley and M. J. Martin.
Judge Day put the question to the pris
oner aa to his guilt er innocence of the
four other burglaries and ha replied ha
had committed the crimes. He told the
court he had come here from Idaho and
had worked for brief periods at various
things until he sprained his back doing
heavy work for a railroad. Then his money
gave out and ha buuuue desperate.
"I had to steal to live." he said.
Wilson Is not a clever man In appear
ance, but ptijuicaUy ae Li suited Ut lite
work of a aorch ollmber. Officers who were
present In court expressed the ealnlon the
man probably Is wanted elsewhere far seme
serious crime, because of the alacrity
with which he pleaded guilty to all tha
crimes charged against htm hers. In tho
face of the certainty of severe punishment.
BIG AD F0RNEBRASKA CORN
Samples on Exhibition in Wall Street
and II road way Attract
Much Attention.
Borne of the corn shown at tha exhibition
of the Douglas County Agricultural society
on the King's Highway Is attracting atten
tion on Wall street and Broadway, Nevr
York. Charles H. Pickens secured tha earn
and put it on wires, making two strlnga
of about a bushel each. It was of the whltn
and yellow Dent varieties and tha ears
were unusually large and solid. One was
sent to William Demuth & Co., on Broad
way, and the other to the Bennett com
pany, on Wall street, and with each one
the placard: "Nebraska corn, grown thir
teen miles west of Omaha. Estimated crop,
275,000,000 bushels."
