talked to death m a way, aa one banker
whispered, -to another, 'National Bank of
Commerce s ' weak.' The bank paid bis
lntareat for tha balance of country banka
and made collection free. - In thla way It
built up deposit almoat -aa large aa the
deposit of . all tha banka of Omaha and
South Omaha and equal to tha deposit
of the Omaha "banka."
Banker of Omaha have been much dis
pleased at tha Irregular banking methoda
ef tha Kanaaa City Inatltutlon, whloh, they
ay; came into Omaha territory and aoll
eilad awd Invited country bank account
and secured them by paying IH and I per

Thla loea to the big Inatltutlon la thu
described by an Omaha banker:
"Tha National Bank of Commerce had a
rery expensive ayetem of aecurlng fhe ac
count of country banka, a system which la
not used In any of tha Omaha banka. If
a Orand Island bank received a check for
fl. 000 on a Valentine bank, Inatead of for
warding the check to Omaha the Orand
Island bank would send It to the National
Stank of Commerce of Kansas City, and
shea It arrived next morning It waa credited
to tha Orand Island bank and the S1.00O
began drawl nr interest at once. Then by
tha time the collection waa made the Na
tional Bank of Commerce loat 11 collection
charges and paid the t per cent . for a
week often 'data on the tl, cheek. - Of
oourse, the country banks liked inch aa
institution and thousands of dollars worth
of Nebraska checks passed through the
bit Kansas City bank. Western Nebraska
Is dotted with bark whloh did business
only with the Kansas City bank."
FUr. Iters of Omaha learned Wednesday
that a SDeclal national bank nimlnu v.mA
oeen sent, to Kansas city, not to make an
( roapecitlon ror the purpose of closing the
Inatltutlon, but to learn Its true condition,
with the idea of helplns; -the Institution
pull through with thto assistance of a
number of New York and Chloago banka
-wnicn isaa agreed to help it. Tha bankers
breaU.ed a sigh of relief and thought they
aw hope of the Kansas City bank pulling
through, but the news which arrived early
Thursday morning did not surprise them.

Much haa been said in recent years about
the American consular service, both In Its
favor and In criticism' of It, and It is well
known that In th past, few years It haa
been greatly Improved and extended.
A party of Fort Wayne business men.
Including, among others, E. W. Cook of
the Cltutcns' Trust company; E. H. Merrltt
of tha Physicians' Defense company and
Hon. t V. tHrey, on a recent trip to Mex
ico, can bear witness to the efficiency of
the consular service at one point, thla being
the city of Hetmoeillo, the capital of the
tat of Ronora.
The t'nlted Btate consul there la Hon.
Lout Hosetter. formerly of Omaha, who
haa been In office about three yeara, and
tha Fort Wayne party found him almoat
Invaluable to them during their stay of two
weeka. He 1 a moat accomplished and ac
commodating gentleman who apeaka Span
ish fluently and who waa ready at all
time to aaalst Americana In any way
within' his power, and opportunities were
given him freq-iently enough to have ex
hausted the patience of an official lea con
aloentlooa in his duty.
Mr. Kestetter I held 1n the highest re
gard by tha governor of tha state. General
Torres, and all tha official of tha govern
ment, and aa well by tha bank and busl
neaa firms and people genernlly, and by
the respect and esteem In which ho I held
he I enabled to Introduce American meth
ods and extend American trade in a way
which is most valuable. Hla wife and
daughter era of great assistance to him In
maintaining; pleasant relations with the
people there, aa they ar accomplished and
delightful entertainers. '
If the consular service Is as well repre
sented lit other parts of the world as It is
In Hermoslllo, Uncle Sam 1 In no danger
of becoming unpopular among the other
nation. Fort Wayne New (Ind.).
PRIMARY TO NAME NEW MAN

In order to solve the perplexing problem
of naming the suceesor to County Com
missioner Solomon, who Will resign Janu
ary 1 to become county comptroller, an
Informal republican primary may be held
by common consent in the Third commis
sioner district, comprising the country pre
cincts of tha county. The suggestion waa
made at an informal meeting of a number
of the candldatea a day or two ago and
several of them endorsed it aa a good way
to e"!e tha question. It la proposed to
establish poll In each precinct and allow
all republican who voted at the last pri
mary to register their choice for tha com
mtsslonersliip. Tha result would not be
binding on the county official who fill the
vacancy, but it probably would be consid
ered - by them In making the choloe. If
not It would, It is said, put tha auccesaful
candidate In a position next fall when the
regular Incumbent will be choaen.
Henry Denker of Chloago precinct' la

forcement of all stats laws and city ordi
nances, which, by virtue of the ordr of
the mayor Issued to, the chief of police
last month, are to be strictly enforced on

tically decided that no arrest for the viola
tion of such ordinance will be made, either
upon the failure of merchants and other
to suspend work Sunday or almllar offense

In place of making the arrests patrol
men will be requested to secure tha names
and addreme of person seen violating the
