A. B. Sltckney, president of the Chicago Great Wtitern railroad, "has the ball'' on tho financial situation, Us causa and solu tion. This la the opinion of Omaha bankers, and President J. H. Millard of tha Omaha National bank says: "I have always been In favor of a cen trallied bank,' as It would be called In the United States. I am In favor of auch a system aa England haa and which Is ex tended In Canada, where a panlo Is beyond my memory. This country Is new. It will grow to the Bank of England plan, and yet England haa had some financial trouble. Hut the syBtem seems to be better than ours and when we become an old country we will undoubtedly adopt the plan or carrying our reserves with a centrallied bank and Its branches, the bank to be practically run by the government. I do not know the details of the French organ ization, but the French people understand the husbandry of money and wealth. The French always have money. They are thought to be goy and frivolous, but when It comes to finances they teem to be the best of the old world powers." Bankera of Omaha agree with President Btlckney, who delivered a notable ad.lrrss before the Original rtoosevelt club of St. Paul Tuesday evening. Many country banks are tnemsnlves hoarding money and carry the Idea through that they should keep on hand at this time the total amount of their Indebtedness, which the city banks do not pretend to do and are not required by law to do at any time. No t'ae to Honrd Money' "This country bank hoarding Is as serious a drawback as the hoarding by Individ uals," said an Omaha banker, "and It is only making the situation worse. It Is as much the duty of,lndlvlduals and country banks to put the money of the country back into circulation as It Is to subscribe to a war dtt at a time when the country faces a forelRn foe and young men are pluclnjr their lives at the country's service. No Uvea are required to offset the Injury of tha present trouble, but money Is needed. Tho people have It. They had It a year ago and there was sufficient currency to meet all needs. The crops were larger and the speculation In Wall street was three times as much as It haa been this year. Loss than one-third aa much Is heeded to carry on the buslnews of the dock exchanges this year as was required last year. The crop Is smaller, though about aa valuable as last year, but less money is needed to take It to the primary markets. The country has the money. Let the people and the country banks put it Into circulation. The -city banks have been helping the country banks and have been working to lift the inconvenience." Some Fnnny Incidents, Many funny thintia are .lUipenlng In the banks of Omaha. Among Hie numer ous peculiarities Is noted the fact that one bank bus put out checks which. In ctead of being payable to "Bi-arer, are made payable to "John Doe," and his half brother, Richard Doe." John Smith, who Is found north, east, south and west, has checks made out to himself or bearer and the American names of Doe, Roo and Smith are being made . famous by the banks who have adopted the fad, for no known reason. As a result of the "freak" checks which are In circulation, all of which are as good as the banks themselves, the collec tors have awakened to the ultuatlon and Manager Hutches of the Clearing House association haa been swamped with re quests from all parts of tho United State for cancelled checks.

I KENNEDY ON POSTAL SAVINGS Former Congressman Saj-a Theae Banks Would Have Prevented the Financial Flurry. "Postal savings banks would have pre vented the present financial flurry," said cx-Congiessman John L. Kennedy, who uddressed the members of the Omaha Real Kstate exchange Wednesday on the sub ject and declared that the government had use for the people's money all the time and more particularly at present when millions are needed for the Improvement of Inland waterways. "Instead of contracting the currency, aa la commonly reported, the system would keep money in circulation," said Mr. Ken nedy. "The money of the people deposited with the postal savings banks at this time would not disappear In tea canisters, stock ings, sugar bowls and holes In the ground, but it would be re-deposited by the govern ment in banks of the country, who would keep It In circulation." In the bill which Congressman Kennedy introduced he proposed to pay Interest of 3 per cent on amounts of t'.WO or under, 2 per cent on amounts up to WOO and no Interest for amounts above 11.000. "My Idea In introducing the bill," he said, "was to encourage the man who had a small amount of money and at the same time give a man with large amounts an opportunity to place his money with tho government at such times as this when some gloomy Idea might cause him to dis trust the banks. If he had 50,000 he could deposit it Vlth the United States govern ment, draw no Interest on It, but know that It was safe, and the government, on the other hand, would deposit It with a bank which would keep the $50,000 in cir culation." Mr. Kennedy spoke enthusiastically In support of the system and said that If the first, second and third class postofflces wore made savings banks the United States would have In the neighborhood of 40,000 new banks. At this time tho money could be Invested to good cause by putting mil lions In waterways, even If the Interest paid was 2 to t per cent. "No civilized country on the globe is without the postal savings bank system except tho United States,'' said Mr. Ken nedy, "and the government, which shuts Us eyes to the systems of other countries is making a mistake."

Quick Shine Shoe Polish contains no turpentine or acids, gives a satin finish, will not rub off on the clothing. HE CATCHES THE POINT GOOD Depositor Gives His Idea of the Force and Effect of Cashier's Check. A German cltlsen who appeared In tho United States National bank during the first days of cashier's checks had great . difficulty In grasping the monetary signifi cance of the new system. "I want my money," he said stolidly at the window and In reply to attempta to explain that it waa not considered for the good of the community that cash be with drawn from the banks at present he only looked blank and repeated stolidly, "I want my money. After the clerks had exhausted their eflorta on him and failed to produce any appreciable result upon his understanding he was taken to the cashier. Hut the result was no better. Then he was taken to Vice President Caldwell who explained the s g nlflcanoe of the cashier's checks, pointed out that they were every bit as good as cash, that the bank had the gold In Its vaults and that as soon as the rest of the country resumed payments he could get his entire deposit In cold, hard, heavy cu'n. The Oerman citizen listened stolidly to all this. When Mr. Caldwell haa finished ho asked: I "Do you understand the situation now?" "Yes," aald the German cltlsen. lie paused awhile and then added: "If my baby wakes up In the night and cries because It Is hungry I give It milk tickets." ' Secret service officers of the government have succeeded In capturing and landing In Jail one Isaac T. Gano at Lincoln, whs has been wanted for several months for alleged passing of counterfeit ti gold pieces In Missouri and southern and western Ne braska. Gano was arrested in Maywood, an obscure little town In the - extreme western part of Frontier county, Monday and brought to Lincoln and arraigned be fore United States Commissioner Marlay and bound over to the federal grand Jury in $1,000. Gano was traced from Jansen, Jefferson county, where he had last planted one of the coins, passing It on a grocer thore by the name of Frtesen. He had been tracked from western Missouri nil along the Ne braska and Kansas border and a number of the bad coins recovered. He had in Ms possession a commlslon and a star. In dicating him to be a member of the "Amer ican Detective association" of Indianapolis and represented that he was out on some Important detective service and was smooth enough to ingratiate himself Into the confidence of the communities in which lie worked. But at Jansen he did not Im press the Mennonlte grocer (Frlesen) verv deeply with his importance, and o after passing the counterfeit coin on Mr. Frlesen one night he departed for parts unknown. Located in Frontier County. Mr. Frlesen kept tab on him and finally succeeded In locating him In Frontier county and put the secret service officers onto the fact. Gano was cutting a wide swath 'at Maywood and played his detective part for all It was worth. He lived at the best hotel In the little town, hired livery teams galore, won the hearts of a number of young women, took them buggy riding and was In the height of his glory when the secret service officers swooped down upon him. The Identification being complete Gano was brought back to Lincoln. Just before leaving the little hamlet of Maywood a couple of his young women friends called upon him while he was In the custody of the United States officer and kissed him an affectionate goodby. Grocer Frlesen positively recognized Gano as the man who passed the counterfeit coin on him and he further answers the description of the much wanted Missouri man as well as the same party who was operating along the Kansas and Nebraska border. The secret service officials regard the capture as one of the most Important made in this state since the dispersal of tha McCarty gang ten or twelve yeara ago.

The family at 606 Bouth Twenty-eighth street Is In trouble and hss sent a Mace donian cry to U chief of police, the Board of Health and the remover of dead animals to bring apeedy assistance. The trouble Is all due to a cat. Until recently this was considered an ordinary cat and not one that would take advantage of a confiding household by strictly enforcing Its claims to nine lives when a majority of the fam ily would decide that the time for Us ex istence had ended. Now the family Is convinced the cat has not only Its own nine lives, but that It has Inherited other sets of nine from ancestors who were not anxious to remain upon the mundane sphere when humanity decreed otherwise. Some daya ago the housewife decided that Grimalkin had outlived Its useful ness and that the sentence of death would b merciful. Paterfamilias coincided with the Judgment and wus elected executioner. Just the form of peaceful death decided upon by him does not matter, but the hour of execution was at night and with rites suitable for the oocaslon the decree of the household was carried out and the form of Tabby gently laid to rest. The next morning a well known scratching at the door led the members of the family to be lieve the ghost of the departed feline was walking the earth, but It turned out to be the body of the cat as well as the spirit. Other methods of extermination were then adopted, but the cat survived. Tues day morning home treatment for existence bad resulted In producing paralysis, but the cat refused to depart. A call waa sent to the police department for a man to come out and kill the cat. The man who received the call thought It waa a Joke. Then a call waa made upon the health de partment, where no one ever Jokea, and the remover of dead animals was Instructed to go out and kill the cat before carrying It away. lie seemed to think his Jurisdiction over animals began only after that of life ceaaed and failed to respond. Wednesday morning the cat persisted and an appeal waa again sent to the health office. In spector Damon waa Instructed to lfcsue a requisition upon tha police department for a pistol and proceeded to the house to kill the cat.
