FUNERAL OF DR. LANKTON
errtcas WIU D Held Saadar
Afternoon at tko
Horn.
Ths funeral services of Dr. Freda M.
Lankton will be held Sunday at J p. m. at
the t irro, 1617 Dodge street. Rev. Newman
Hall Burdtck will conduct them. Burial
will be at Prospect Hill cemetery. Friends
ara invited.
Dr. Lank ton was among Omaha' most
publlo-splritrd women. She became a
member of the Omaha Woman's club soon
after its organisation and for years was
one of the most prominent workers in Its
phllanthroplo and literary departments.
She waa alao Identified wittx other organ
izations, particularly those of a philan
thropic character, but her charity waa
unostentatious. For years she had given
her professional services to the Old Peo
ple's home and much -of the time she had
been quietly contributing to the support
of some of Its occupants. The Visiting
Nurses' association haa also ahared her
beneficence, and bealdea helping theae In
stitution ahe haa given material assist
ance to several young men and women In
securing education. One now prominent
young physician of Omaha owes his profes
sional education to her generosity, while
everol girls have been able to complete
the high schoo' course which would hav
been lmpoajltle without her assistance
Two of these are now teaching tn the
Omaha schools.
Thursday evening;, word was sent te Dr.
Burdlck, pastor of the Second Presbyter
Ian church, of which Dr. Lankton was a
member, that the doctor was quite sick.
Dr. Burdlck went to ee her. He wa not
awaro thct her sickness was dangerous
until he arrived, and It had not been re
garded as dangerous until the last day or
two ' of ber Ufa, The patient recognised
her pastor and apoke a few worda to him,
but was dead fifteen mlnutea. after his ar
rival. Her death lias been a shock to her
numerous friends.
"Elio did, a vast amount of good of which
the world never knew," said Dr. Burdlck,
"and her going will be keenly felt in
Omaha." j

WORLD'S STRUGGLE FOR GOLD
Supply of the Coined Metal Unequal
to the Demand.
HOW STOCK IS DISTRIBUTED
American Mint Worklnar Orertlm
to Meet Present Esaeraeney .
Tb Preeloaa Metal ta
Transit.
The report of the director of the United
State mint for 1P06 computed the amount
of coined gold in the world at $8,433,600,000.
Thl vast sum waa dlatrlbuted as follows:
Gold coin In circulation, $3.O14,a,0OO; gold
coin In banks, .3.S0O,O0O. Amount of fold
In the United Btatea, $1,420,800,000; amount
In circulation in the United States, M66 -000,000;
g-old coin In the United States treas
ury and banks. $055,800,000. The gold per
capta In the United States Is $14.91; In the
British Empire. PS tl; In Prance, $2.41; and
In Germany, $16.14.
And still the cry of the world Is "More
gold." Millions of dollars" of products
taken out of the soli during the
past year can only be started on
their Journeys to consumer through the
roagio oft the yellow metal. The rast
Industrial machinery of the country can
only be kept in motion by It presence tn
sufflclent quantity.
Three months a-o. according tn th-
mlnent authority on money, Alexnnder
nel Mar, there was not more than $70,
W.O00 tn pld actually In circulation In
thla country, and almost Insignificant
quantity compared, for instance, to the
a.OCO.000,000 of farm products of the years.
Uttle wonder then when the countless
handa began to be stretched out this small
sum mcltod away like snow under a hot
sun. The rest of the more than $1,000,000,000
of gold In possession of the country Is
hoarded-ln the United States treasury. In
safe deposit boxes, in banking houses.
On how much of the world's gold can
we actually draw? How much la ther
In the world? It can only be answered
In round figures, for the statistics are
necessarily to a large extent merely a
tlmates. Of actual gold there ia In the
world about $7,Ou0.O00,O00 used ss currency,
of which only some one-half is In cir
culation. America' $500.flM,000 Is Increas
ing at the rate of $40,000,000 a yean the
rest of the world but equals this Increase.
A gold famine, then, threatens every time
there Is industrial unrest, and every time
nnanclal enterprises are floated.
fchlpraecta from Abroad.
As a rule the United States has man
aged ao well with its varloue currency
devlcea that gold exports have been
more frequent than Imports, except in
the years 1S74. 180, 1893 and 1S94, when
present condition ruled, and the gold
movement was in our favor. At present all
we can get Is not proving enough. Bl earner
after steamer from abroad haa added to
our limited resources during the last few
weeks, and are still coming the Tentonic
with ri.eno.OOO, the Lusltanla $10,000,000, the
Oceanic $8.n00.000 gold in the Bank of. Eng
land to the extent of $JO,000,000 la awaiting
shipment to the United States; France haa
hipped $lfi,0tt0.000 In gold to ua, alao through
the Bank of Englund; Berlin la using the
same route for It.W.OOO.
Yet so sharp la the reed that banks are
offering a premium for the metal, as well
as for silver, snd In Wall street may be
seen crowds of men and women pushing
their wsy Into banking houses with heavy
satchels, whioh they wish to exchange for
checks on which the premium is counted la.
In the asssy offlce gold Is being carted and
weighed. On Ihe wharves nervous banking
officials are managing the transference of
the metal from the strong rooms of the
liners to the trucks. In this work many
detectives aro eir.loyed but the llttla iron
bouud boxes used for the purpose of ship
ping gold, each containing about $30,000, are
handled as If they were merely so many
case of plain merchandise. The same sys
tem of checking by the ship official and by
the receiver ia used a Is don In any cargo.
When a truck ha about as much a it
can carry a detective jumps on the box be
side the driver, and off it goes the coin to
the bank to which it ia consigned, or bar
metal to the lubtreasury. Extra guards
are hardly needed. It would requlr con
siderable hardihood and exceptional
strength to run off with on of these boxes,
new Geld I Carried.
It la the steamship's purser who keep
the key to th strong room. Th gold u
encased first in aacka and then la th
wooden boxes, when It 1 transferred to
the aubtreaurarr and assay offloe. Bo great
wa tb stuaa4 on th banker during th
last rw eLa that they secured as maen
money as poslble without waiting for the
results of this process. When the Kron
prlnxessln Cecelle arrived some days ago
with $7,000,000. seventy boxes of the metal
went to Lazard Freres. sixty to Heldel
bach, Icklehelmer St Co., and thlrty-flve to
Kuhn, Loeb Co. the three leading gold
house In America. Of course. It is con
tinually under guard when in. the specie
room of the liners, which are usually
situated on the orlop, or lower deck of the
vessel on a level with the water line.
But alt this influx of gold Is a mere
dribble in comparison to the immediate
needs of the country, and the word has
gone forth to the mints to turn all the
metal In the vaults into coin.' Philadelphia'
mint is endeavoring to meet Mr. Cortel
you's demand for not less than 80.000,000 4n
double eagles to be delivered within the
next three months. Night and day the
machinery ' of thla establishment wlil be
kept going, and the 24,000,000 of bullion In
the vaults, to which has been added 10.000,
000 by the arrival of the Lusltanla will be
converted Into disks to satisfy the gold
hunger.
Hardening the Metal.
All the gold to be refined and stamped
whether It mines from private persons, or
Is bought in the gold markets ha added
to It by the mint a 10 per cent copper alloy
for coining purpose, and to withstand the
wearing Influence of circulation. Once the
gold Is refined to this standard. It Is melted
Into Ingots, rolled Into strips of the proper
thickness, and cut into blanks or panch
ette. These are selected by inspection to
see If they are the proper shape. Coins that
are not are placed with the parings from
the cutting, are melted over again. The '
coins once selected are weighed. For a
double eagle the standard weight Is S16
grains, but a tolerance of half a grain
either way Is allowed. Coin that fall he
low this standard are put Into the melting
pot again.
When the pieces. have been weighed they
are subjected to the milling or "upsetting"
process. This consists In putting the little
ridges upon them that appear when a coin
Is placed upon Its side. After this they are
annealed and cleaned. This Is done by dip
ping them In -a solution of sulphuric aold.
Then they are fed to the presses, ready to
strike. When they come out, ther Is
another weighing process after which the
newly minted coins are counted and placed
in bags of $5,000 each, and delivered to the
superintendent of the mint. He disposes of
them according to the subtreaaury order
on hand.
I'l the present money atrlngency, the
Philadelphia mint Is bearing the brunt of
the csll for currency. The Kew Orleans
mint Is small snd Its machinery antiquated;
the San Franclaco mint has the heavy task
on Its shoulders of coining gold for the
Immodlate vicinity, where gold as currency
has always been In vogue, and the Denver
mint cannot begin to supply the demand
made upon It. Coinage of gold tn the
United States was made free by the act of
18T5. which repealed a charge of one-fiflh of
one per cent

IL Vsmc Lane, surcharged with Omaha
enterprise and motive power after a resi
dence of twenty-five years in this city, ha
naturally Impressed Salt Lake City as a
"man of affair and lota of energy." Mr.
Lane arrived in the Utah capital Tuesday
night and is making his home at the fash
lnoable Alta club. Her is what the Trib
une of that city says of him:
"It Is too early yet to decide Just what
the new policy will be, or whether any
changes will be made in the present sys
tem. I shall have a good deal to learn
about the company and can not say what
will bo done for some time."
U. Vance Lane, the newly appointed
president of the Rjcky Mountain Bell
Telephone company gave out the above
atatement at the Alta club Tuesday even
ing shortly after his arrival from Omaha,
Mr. Lane reached Salt Lake City about
9 o'clock on the Los Angeles limited and
was met by General Manager Murray of
the company. This Is the second visit of
Mr. Lane to this city. Mr. Lane expressed
himself aa pleaned with Salt Lake C:ty and
his reception, lie feels confident that the
territory of the Rocky Mountain Bell Tele
phone company Is an excellent one and that
there Is a good field for develODment of
the telephono business. Asked If the recent
financial flurry would make any difference
In the policy of the company, Mr. Lane
said that he hoped It would not he neces
sary to contract in any way. The new
president seemed delighted with everything
he had seen here.

arrived In the city laft evening on the Loa
Angelea limited from Omaha. Mr. Lane la
Suartered at the Alta club, where he met
eneral Superintendent D. 8. Murray and
Other officials of the Bell company.
"Naturally, I have nothing to say for
publication at this tune that would be of
Interest," said Mr. Lane. "I have only Just
arrived, and I want to see the city and
look about me before I talk too much.
You may say, however, that there will be
no radical chanpea; In fact, I don't know
that there will be any changea."
Mr. Lane has been connected with the

READY TO HELP SIOUX CITY
Oman Grain Exrhaacs Proposes As

Request have been received by the
Omaha Grain exchange from M. King of
the "Sioux: City Board of Trade" for as
sistance In the organisation of the ex
change In that city and a committee of
Sioux City business men have been invited
to come to Omaha and go over the plans
for the organisation.
When the Omaha exchange was organ

road companies have agreed to give the
city on the upper Missouri river the "mill

the Missouri river rate may be secured.
Grain men of Omaha believe the estab

a success and will be In the same propor

the Induatry in South Omaha. While th
Northwestern haa made the same rates
from South Dakota point to Sioux City
as to Omaha and 86 per cent of the rail
road of South Dakota head toward Sioux
City, official of th Grain exchange say
the new market at Sioux City will not

strengthen the position of the Missouri

Almost without exception, her attempts at a career
