Circulation. ,
Eagles of Omaha held a convention Mon
day afternoon to protest against the man
ner In which they havebeen libeled by
the national government and discuss the
financial situation. The meeting was called
to order at 1 o'clock p. m. by .Claranoe,
the big eagle who surmounts the main
entrance to the New York Ltfe building.
The question before the house was: "If
the Indian on the new 110 gold pieces Is
an Irish girl with a feather duster In her
hair, what Is the eagle on the obverse?"
- The eagles claimed to have seen a pocket
full of the new $10 gold pieces in the posses
sion of Rev. F. L. Loveland, who haa Just
returned from Washington. They declared
the golden burlesques to be nature fakes
gnd asked for a square deal.
Fldo, the big eagle who roosts over the
entrance to tie Blair postofflce, arrived
by the carrier pigeon route at an early
hour and waa made chairman of the com
mittee on resolutions. The birds of free
dom, who occupy various positions In
Colonel Palmer's place of business at the
postofflce, were especially ruffled over the
new coinage system.

"Thoee who have seen my likeness on

all akin and feathers," said Clarence, In
hla opening address. "Others have sug

"Bravo," chirped a bald head from the
sand hills, flying to the window above
where all could hear htm. "We ara not-i
dependent on any political party, though
all parties frequently use us for good cause
and foul. But I move we stay by the
administration and he will reward us by

committee of the whole Monday afternoon
there will be a conference between tho
eouncllmen, the city engineer and the street
commissioner looking to a change In meth
ods In these departments with the object
of saving money next year. It Is alleged
by eouncllmen that several persons are
employed In one of theae department
whose services are not needed, as men em
ployed on the other could do' ths work
and sav several hundred dollars a month
to the taxpayers. The council haa no con

considerable Interest centers around tho
