had much to do with the early uphuiUlhiR
or th city in a financial way. While Mr.
Smith had not lived In Omaha ulnce the
early seventies, he liaa always hail ex

foundation of his fortune. et-Umaled at

Probably hla rnont Important public work

the locating of the Vnlon Pacific bridd?

at Bel-ue. For several months the of

ta credited with Inducing tha railroad of- i

on the Omaha
location.
Mr. Smith first came to Omaha with his
trothora about 1859. He and his brothers
had prevlouB to that engaged In the busi
ness of Importing and selling fine engrav
ings from England. They had amassed
about Wo.OOft. which they invested in Omaha,
snd Nebraska real estate at 11.15 an acre.
They also engaged In freighting between
ere and IVnver and loaned their earn
ings on Omaha real estate. Financial re
Tersoa during the war left a good deal of
the property taken aa security on their
hands and at one time they were said
to bo "land poor." Investments in mines
In Colorado turned out well and on one j

Beooaaea Wall Street Power.
Shortly after th war Francis Smith went
vack to New York, where he was asso
ciated wtth Commodore Vanderbilt in the
building of the New York Central, the
fturlington and a number of other pioneer
railroads. He was aiso successful In Wall
frtroet Investments and he became one of
the powers in New York financial circles.

Important Factor la Omaha.
Dr. George L. Miller, who was closely
associated ith him at an early day. was
deeply affecVd at the news of his death.
Concerning him Ir. Miller said last night:
"I heard of the deth of Francis Smith
at his home in Hockland with deep re
gTet. I have known him for fifty years.
I first met him when he became a cltixen
of Omaha. That was when Omaha was
a small, straggling village. It waa also
when he was far from being a man of
wealth. I have had an intimate acquaint-
tnct with, hinj
thDOUgh .all . the active
I counted him one of the
years or his i;ie.
best friends I ever had.
been an important man
Mr. Smith Las
to Omaha for
more than forty years. Minions ui in
large wealth have played a strong part
on the upbuilding of Omaha enterprises
and Its sTowth.
'1 do not remember the time in the days
of his activity and vigor that he was not
a paw erf j. practical force in its larger
affairs. It was not the fault of Francis
Smith that the Platte river water power
was not developed ten years ago. I read
ily retail the fact that lie challenged Her
man Koun'.ze to undertake its development
through me by authorizing me to tell Mr.
Kountze thai he would put up as much
money as Mr. Kountze would for that
project whenever Mr. Kountze was ready
to engage in it.
"I know that Mr. Smith was not cred
ited by many with the public spirit whlcii
he really possessed.
I ouiy have to add that Oi.iaiia never
had
more loyal or a firmer friend in all
that related to its material Welfare or
prosperity than Mr. Smith during all his
long life.
"In the contest for the Vnion Pacific
crossing here, as in all other important af
fairs, Mr. Smith was always consumed
and was a leading force. He was a man
of very great financial ability. I knew
hlrn well when he was a very strong in
fluence in Wall street. There he suc
cesfcfully cortesteed in a number of en
terprises w'th Gould and aCmmack."
Air. Smith was over St' years of age. He
was married in Omaha to iJIss Parmalee.

many men in Nebraska are capable of rep

but those who are already known to a large
number of the delegates who will be sent
by other states to the national convention,
can represent the state that much better. I
liae no sympathy with the talk about the
governor and senators crowding some good,
high privates out of a little honor, because
1t Is doubtful 1f there are very many higii
privates who will constat to make a fight

allow himself to be assessed tW or more
In order to go to Chicago. There should be
no contest over the selection of the dele

some personal grievance do not want to
support the men named, should do so in
the Interest of the stato- and In the inter

Lindsay Talks A boat Kleetura.
11. C. Lindsay, cb-rk of the supreme
court . believes it is high time the matter
of presidential electors is bein discussed
by the republican jtariy cf Nebraska. Ac
cording to Mr, Lindsay's notions this Is a
very important matter. Inasmuch as the
new primary law provides thoae electors
shall be nominated at the September prl-
marie?. He suggested this morning that
the state committee or the executive com
mittee of the state committ'v recommend
j to the various congressional corrmHtees the
.dvlsa,,)t . or ,,,
ing each congressional
convention endorse h candidate for elector.
These endorsements should Ik? recom
mended to the state convention, which in
turn should endorse the congressional nomi
nees and then endorse two elect ors-at-large
in addition. Then the state convention
should certify the eiht nominee to the
secretary of state as candidates for elec
tor. The men chosen. Mr. Lindsay said,
should be recognized republicans of stand
ing, selected for their loyalty nnd devotion
to the party and for their integrity. A
great deal depends on the personnel of the
electors and stnlcss great care is taken in
making- selections, considering nationality,
acquaintance and fitness, the result will
cost the republican party many votes.
Vnles action is taken by the conventions.
Mr. Lindsay says, there may be a string
of candidates file for electors or there may
be only three or four. It is barely possible,
he believes, for some one to get on the
tkket as a repjblican elector who has
made a deal with the democrats, and his
vote could be cast for the democratic pres
idential candidate in the electoral colletre.
He suggests that the matter be agitated
before the congressional conventions meet.

At an open meeting of the local commer

THE WEBER PIANO
EXCLUSIVELY
Only a piano of the roost advanced artistic
standards can win recognition from the fore
mo& mysical a.tisls.
Nb piano has of late received such a notable
succession of emphatic endorsements as has
the Weber. Artists of world-wide renown have
stamped it with the seal of their approval, and
the entire musical world has definitely recog
nized the premier position among pianos which
the Weber now occupies.
The fact that Paderewski has decided to use the
Weber Piano exclusively on his present concert
tour is particularly impressive.
