Mere Elevaaemt Than Werdi aa Skeitleg tkt Importnnc of the Great Industry. Couth Omaha's enthusiasm for the Na tional Corn exposition, to which the large attendance at the corn show Friday gives eloquent evidence Is due to two causes: First, the men of Bouth Omaha are natural "boosters;" second, the production of good corn is a vital matter to those who live at the sign of the dressed steer. The relation between corn and the pack ing Industry Is exceedingly Intimate. The steady advance In the price of corn Is said to be due primarily to the fact that sys tematic feeding of cattle and hogs with this grain has attained such great propor tions. The two Industries, corn raising and packing, are now Inseparably united, and the fact la worth emphasizing that while the corn exposition makes Omaha the corn center of the United States, so likewise the picking Industry In EVmth Omaha has In ten years surpassed all the world's live stock markets. A comparison of receipts for the last ten years at the four large markets, vis., Chicago, Kansas City, Bouth Omaha and St. Joseph, Indicates that the production of live stock In the west has almost doubled. The percentages of increase for this period are as follows: Cattle, U per cent; hogs, 8 par cent; sheep, 60 per cent. The small Increase In hoga Is apparently due to the fact that they are a corn-belt product, and corn Is essential to their proper preparation for market, and when there exists a scarcity of this cereal hogs are quickly disposed of, while cattle and sheep may be more easily roughed through.

It Is most gratifying to those interested tn the South Omaha market to note that it stands first among the big markets In point of gain. Considering the fact that 1908 haa been an off year as a result of the panic and unsettled conditions Incident to the presidential election, the showing of the South Omaha market haa been very satisfactory. The sturdy steer and the opulent porker are not, however, the only two animals which make South Omaha great. It Is not so generally known, but It is a fact that the Magic City Is the greatest horse mar ket In the world. The number of horses bought' and sold here Is attaining to un precedented figures and the future is glorious with possibilities in this direction for the commercial demand for equlnea steadily Increases. The motor car can no more hurt the horse market than did the bicycle, and neither does anti-racing legis lation, for that matter. The horse Is too fine an animal to lose his appeal to men, and it la safe to say that as long as men are Just so long will the fine horse be esteemed and sought after. Among the Banks. South Omaha's four banks and her build ing and loan association are another chap ter In Its economic history which makes Magic City denizens proud. Their volume of deposits snd the amount of business transacted are out of proportion to the size of the city and give evidence of the won derful amount of buslnosa carried, on. The flrat national bank in South Omaha was the SOuth Omaha National, which started In business at 2516 N street in the old Plvonka block. In 1886. A. U. Wyman, treasurer of the United States at that time, waa made presiJent of the Smith Omaha National bank, and II. C. Bostwick was cashier. Since that time ome changes have been made. Mr. Bostwick la now president of the bank. The original capital of the bank was toO.OuO, and this lias been Increased from time to time until the capital now la $250, OuO. The surplus and undivided profits of the bank now amount to $400,000. Two yearr after the bank started In South Omaha, It waa found necessary to get more commodious quarters. A bank building was built Just east across the alley, and is still occupied by that institution. At thd time it was built It was the most preten tious building in South Omaha. Harry Miller, who entered the bank as a clerk twenty-two years ago. Is now first assist ant cashier. J. C. French is cashier. The deposits of the bank are now about $3, SOO.000. The next national bank to start in South Omaha was the Packers National bank, in 1891. It waa capitalized for $100,OUO. The surplus and undivided1 profits of this bank now amount to $320,000. - The tank first did business at Twenty- first and N streets. The first president was A. C. Foster, then general manager of the Swift packing company plant. A. P. Brink waa the first cashier. In 1893 a reorganisation of the bank oc curred and John F. Coad was elected presi dent and Frank J. Moriarty, eaahler. These same officers have continued since and tho directory aleceted at that time has not been materially changed. A year or so ago the Packers National bank found that more spacious quarters were needed. A ot was bought at Twenty fourth and O streets, and later the flneat banking building In the state waa erected at a cost of Sb7.00, Including furniture, but not the ground On last.

She says there are no crowds then; that she has no diffi culty in obtaining a seat in the street cars; that she is waited upon more promptly at all stores; that the clerks are more agreeable and take more pains to show goods, because they, like herself, are not tired at that time of day. Knowing this to be true, we suggest to all ladies able to do so, to try this plan and do their shopping in the early part of the day. Omaha & Coraicii ISims reel ISaOway Co.

Issno The bond case of school district No. II of Dakota county haa bobbed up again In the United States circuit court in a suit for several thousand dollars Interest on the bonds issued a number of years ago for the erection of a school house, the bonds having fallen Into the hands of Innocent purchasers. The special case Juat filed is that of Edward D. Shepard. and It In volves 101 causes of action. The bonds, approximating $25,000, were voted many years ago at an alleged packed election by the town of Covington, then a part of school district No. 11. This district was subsequently consolidated with t s district of South Sioux City. The origin... purpose of the projectors of the bond prop osition was to build a normal school build ing, but the state lawa Interfering with the voting of bonds for normal school pur poses without specific consent of the leg islature, the proposition was carried into the erection of a "high" school building, which it was intended later to donate to the state for a normal school. The project got Into politics and was bitterly opposed by the voters outside of the town of Cov ington. The opposition was not sufficient to defeat the bonds, and they carried. In junction proceedings were at oncve Insti tuted against the issue of the bonds, and some of the leading lawyers of the state were engaged by the opposing sides In the legal battle. The railroad companies also got Inter ested In the matter, and finally one of the attorneys, who afterwards became a Ne braska supreme Judge, end who waa em ployed by the opponents to the bonds, slipped down to Dakota City one night and dismissed the injunction without consulta tion with hla associate attorneys. Ths bonds were at once spirited away to Lin coln and registered, and were thus thrown on the market and purchased by eastern parties. The county bitterly fought the dismissal of the injunction and has from that day to this fought the payment of the bonds on the ground of illegal issue. The case got Into the United States circuit court through he purchasers of the bonds, and the orig inal case Is still pending In that court. This new suit is brought to recover In terest on the bonds accruing alnce the orig inal suit began In the federal courts. While the school bouse waa built. It has never been occupied and Is gradually going to decay in the woods where It waa erected many yeara ago. The school authorities of the county refuse to countenance Its ex istence, as well aa being determined to fight the legality of the bonds go the last ditch. Iscfal Ballast. The old balloonist looked at the ques tioner. "ballast,' he repeated, "well as a gen eral thing I'm pretty sure to take along n jug of Scotch." "Kor ballast?" "Sure. Whfn we want to rise a little higher we lighten the jug by drinking the contents, and when we want tn go still higher we drop the empty Jug overboard." Cleveland Plain Dealer. Contentment In Ignorance. The United Tobacco Journal tells if a eurioua scheme in uae In Germany for rais ing money for charity. Boxes for clgara and cigarette ends have been placed In csfei and public buttdlngs by a charity organi sation, and enough money is expected from the aale of thta rlaaa of tefuse to feed and clothe 1,71 i children during the winter montha. What becomea of the stumps Is a secret, fortunately kept frou the snukera.
