PROTEST MANY MONEY 0RDEE.S
Object to !! Ike Work for-Which
K i areas Companies iet All the
Profits Case ow ia
loarl.
A clever scheme to make the express
companies realise the resentment which the
tankers feel against them for eelling money
orders which must go. to the bunks for
payment haa been brought to light In the
caae now pending between the American
Express company of Omaha and Willie
McBrlde. president of the First National
bank of Klgln. The bankera have for a
long time objected to the fact that they
are forced to caah express money orders
which are laaued by one expreaa office I
agalnxt another, without provlalun being
made for payment Mr. McBrlde aome
time ago decided to bring thla fact directly
home to the expresa companlea by treating
express ordera aa ordinary negotiable In
etruments. He came In to Omaha and from ' the
Omaha office of the American Express
company bought 160 money ordera for I'M
each. He knew that the local agent at
Elgin would never be able to cash them
and be presented them there for payment.
The Elgin agent did hie best and paid
fifteen of the orders, but that $300 was all
the caah be could muster. Ths othsr
eighty-five were returned to Mr. McBrlde
to recover as best he could, he usual
proceeding in such a case would be to
aak the local bank to carry the ordera
It waa the memory of such transactions
that was rankling In the banker's inlnd.
so he protested the eighty-five ordere.
Injeactloa Is Asked.
Suit was brought In the lower courts en
three of the orders and the express com-
any got from the district court a tem
porary Injunction In which It alleged that
the express money order la a non-negotiable
Instrument not subject to protest and not
payable on demand.
The banks have been troubled for
years," said Wlllam u. ttugnes; secretary
of the Nebraska Bankera' association, "be
cause to accommodate their patrons they
must carry thousands of dollars for the
express companlea. The express companlea
get the fees and the banks do the work.
Mr. McBrlde tried to get the matter into
court and succeeded. Butts have been
started before, but they have failed. This
one was a private scheme on the part of
the Elgin banker and the action of the
court la all that can decide how successful
It was."
Theodore J. Worth man, general agent for
the American Expresa company In Omaha.
It loath to dlsouss the case, because It la
still In court ''The facta wllNbe brought
out In eou;U ' 1c said, "and that will de
cide whose righta have been infringed. In
any caae the attempt of a banker to pro
test the orders Is nothing to the discredit
of the express company, whether It Is
successful or not."
DUNDEE SHOWS BIG GROWTH

' Approximately ft quarter of a million
dollars were spent on the construction of

. tlonsere that tnis sum will be far exceeded
during the building season of 1911. Is the
opinion of C, C. George, ' .
"Last year there were sixty-one or sixty
two homes built in that suburb at an aver
age cost of about (4,000." says be. "and
since the first of the present year nearly
halt that number of houses hrve already
been started. The building season haa Just
begun, so It la safe to say that the figures
of last year will fall far short of .ooverlng
the operations of the present twelve'
month."
George A Co. haa placed on the
market ft large amount of property for
which It la agent In Dundee, alao Happy
Ilollow and Falr-aorea, and already a very
latlafactory number of lots have been sold
and arrangements made to build on them,
"We have not aimed to Inaugurate ft boom

rather to Introduce) in a dignified way the

That Your Money Can Buy
( I laJCTTJfai
Thlg statement is marie not because these Blue Serges bear OUH
label nor because they are seen only In OUR store, but because we've
watched their building; from the weaving of the fabric through every
stage of style designing, rutting, interior and exterior tailoring; be
cause we know that each Individual suit Is composed of the best fabrics,
and best workmanship that care and skill can produce. Because we've
priced each garment, not at what it really Is worth when compared
with other blue serges, but we've named the smallest
price at which such quality can possibly be sold. So
we say that In quality, style, fit and workmanship,
these are the best Blue Serges your money can buy.
American Blue Serges $10 to $25

The great Italian historian, Ferrcro,
who has made ancient Home live again
in his books, begins in this May Century
a wonderfully illuminating series of six
articles on Roman women. Did you
know that they enjoyed the greatest
social and legal liberty of all women of
the ancient world? They could even
retain their own property on marriage
if they wished to do so, and they had a
conventus matronarum which was
Latin for "woman's club!"
