He was told by the Northwestern agent sn order had been Issued from head luarters to the effect that no elevator would be furnished car which would not agree to bill them to terminal elevators. The reason given for this action was that the hilling to the Mg elevators would as sure prompt unloading and the cars would In service Hgain two or three days ear lier than If billed to grain dealers who had no elevators. This dealer did not do hjjsl ness with the Omaha elevators and conse. luontly could not ship. statement la Denied. The truth of his Matenient was denied at the office of John A. Kuhn. assistant genern! freight, agent of the Northwestern. No such order had ever been Issued, said Ihe chief clerk, and all companies were given their pro rnta allotment of cars, re gardless of their destination. It was stated there were enough cars on hand Friday morning to meet all demands. This con dition was made possible. It was said, by the fact that the demand for cars had fallen off a little, owing the fact that the farmers have not been hauling the last few days, and the elevators have been given a chance to clean tip Omaln dealers arc much Interested In the announcement tlmt the Iowa rellrond commission Is soon M visit Council Vi'luffs to Investigate the alleged claim of t'.calers throughout Iowa that they are unible to f'fiirp grain cars, while the large Omaha ind Council HlulT.' houses are getting hII they w;int.

It was in the council chamber, while the solons were apportioning the general fund. Mr. Heiinlngs had JTfst made his appeal for money to maintain his office pending the litigation. He was not a little agitated and remarked that one of thu reasons why he was forced to retain possession of the office was possibly through an oversight on the part of the city attorney In falling tj observe the notice that application would be made for the Injunction. "Oh, that's all right." spoke up the city attorney. "I got my hearing in court all right and do not think anything was lost. Mr. Hennings Is not to blame for the pres ent condition of affairs." 'Thank you," said the treasurer, with some emotion. The attorney had referred to him offi cially aa the "former" city treasurer.

Javob Bailiff's apprehension of a severe money panic la not shared by at least two of Omaha s most prominent bankers. Her man Kountze, president of the First Na tional, and C. F. McOrew, vice president of the CM nan National bank, of which Sen ator Millard Is president, fail to see Just foundation for the fears expressed by Mr. fichlff, both pointing to the fact of the established prosperity of the country nd particularly the west as sufficient safe guard against any collapse of the money market due to over-speculation. Mr. McOrew said: "I do not think there In the slightest grounds for fear of any Immediate panic. The country has never been on a better and sounder financial basis than Just now and the- prospect for it Indefinite continu ance is good. Mr. 8c hi IT'S predictions are, to my way of thinking, utterly groundless. . There Is abundant money In New York and the east for all needed commercial pur poses and I have not the remotest doubt hut that commrrcial loans and loana for manufacturing or other trade purposes could be obtained at the Chemical Na tional bank of Ne. York and like Institu tions tn auy needed. cruanUty at 6 per cent. Speculative money Is always higher and there la no criterion by which speculative loana can be governed. Money Is not stringent for legitimate purposes, but is al ways more or less stringent for speculative purposes." Result of Speculation. Mr. Kountxe said: "I have read Mr. Schiff'a prophecy. I think Mr.. 8chiff's anxiety la more the re sult of the speculative tendency In the east than from any general condition. Affairs In the west are In splendid condition, being based upon solid prosperity and confidence.. I really do not think there la any rea-on to apprehend a panic. The recent high prices paid for call money In New York were tha direct result of the speculative tendency. Money can be obtained In New York for commercial and manufacturing purposes In any needed amount for from B to 7 per cent. The trust companies are virtually the great bankers of the east, and they have Immense deposits, but It Is possible they may not have more than 3 per cent of their reserves on deposit, while the national banks with out exception have anything over 36 per cent. "The withdrawal of funds from the banks by Secretary Shaw ran be attributed to, I he need for expendlturea for the Panama canal and other public enterprises. Of course an extensive panic In New York and Boston would have Its effect in the west, as It would be like cutting off one of our hands, and the greater the panic the greater the dismemberment of our western financial body. But In brief I do not see any reason for Mr. Schiff's gloomy prophecies and hove no fear there Is auy likelihood of their occurrence."

"All along the route of the proposed line ditches and graders' camps are In evidence, and 1.P00 teams and 2,000 men are employed and recruits are being brought in dally." said Mr. Robertson.

This is the decision of Fish Commissioner W. J. O'Brien, who In company with Dep uty Commissioner I). E. Smith. Is In Omaha to Investigate some startling circumstances around Cut Off lake. Deputy Plerson and Mr. O'Brien investigated a slough south and east of Cut Off lake, and although thre was over ten feet of water the tlsh were all stunned or dead and floating on top of the writer and under Hie Ice. Mr. I O'Brien said: "We investigated several other such pools and found the tlsh till alive and well, but It was different In tills place. Some one evidently has placed some substance, such as refuse from the gas house or lime, or something, to stun these fish with the evi dent Intent of g?t Ing the fish to pedd.e. No game fish were found by ns, as the water from the large lake evidently does not flow Into this slough, so none of the game fish ran In during the spring rise. "We also ore going to take the game fish from Willow lake, which Is north and east of Cut Off. I saw a lot of sun fish ther.i and I think there are many croppies and bass. W will cut a hole In the Ice and take them out with a net, and If wa find many will continue for several days. We want to do what we. can to make Cut Off lake a good fishing resort for the people of Omaha, and from reports of the catches which were made during the summer X think the bass which we have planted dur ing the last few years are growing nicely."
