The board of public works approved the bonds of ali the firms whose contracts for doing grading were to be submitted to tho council except that of C. H. Pritch- ett. Thomas Rock and W. S. Andrews, both of South Omaha, appeared as sureties for Pritchett, but as none of the members of the board were acquainted with their finan- cial standing, the bona was held over, and the chairman was instructed to go to the Magio City, find out the standing of the men, and report at 2 o'clock. Later the bond was rejected on the ground of in- wdequate secuaity. E.

A bystander wanted to know by what.au- hority the board accepted the check. his firm,”" said he, ‘s under heavy bonds to do certain work. If you consider the bond unsound it is your duty to reject it, but by the action you have taken you tacitly concede the bond to be unreliable and that you rua{uinl additional securiy.” “0n,” sald Major Balcombe, “it has been said that the firm has not got financial back- ing and Mr. Naugle simply wants to let peo- lo know that it has.

Motion sustained. A motion was filed in the case of Louis B. Miller vs Johu F. Burruss to compel the plaintiff to give bouds for costs in said case. Miller brought suit for the pos- sossion of his cuild, a sweet little girl of seven years, When the child was seven months old, Miller's wife died and the hus- band gave the little girl to her grand-parents, Mr. and Mrs. Burruss. Miller afterwards brought suit for repossession of the Nemaha county court, which was decided 1 favor of Burruss.

The whitelesd combination has its oMces with the Standard Oil people, and it fe un- derstood that. white lead, zine and turpen- tine will be taken care of this season, and that consuiiers wili settle the bills, The present polfiy, ft is said, is to reduco prices, freeze out the ‘smaller factories and dealers and, this sedemplished, recoup all lossos and make handkome profits by a forced rise in vrices. Turpentine, the rumor asserts, witl bo put at S9¢ a~4 white lead at 2 it necessary to give the-combination complete future con- trol of the markets, and that the linseed oil producers will assist the grabber of carbon oils. Color of plausibility is given the rumor by the intimate relations of the staples in- volved. Turpentine has been handled by the Standard tank cars sent into tho turpen- tine regions with carbon oil and its products, and which otherwise would have boen re- turned to th owner empty. Linsced o1l is uspd largely in the application of white lead and zine, > ‘fhere are twenty-five the white fead trust and but four, the Carter White Lead company, of Omaha, the Collier and Southorn White Lead companios, of St. Louis, ana Eckstein White Lead company, of Cincinnati, out of the consolidation. This is probably ns strong an aggregation as the Standard Oil company. ‘'he statement that officials of the latter company have purchased a majority of tho white lead certificates may be correct, since their purchase of certificatos has been open and well known., However, i1t is learned that the control of the lead trust, or the ap- preciation in value, under the agreement of the corroders to maintain prices, of the cer- tificatos, might account for the action of the Standard officials. In support of the last motive comes an actual advance in certifl- cates from $12 per share to $21 and £22. President Hentz, of the lead and Standard oil trust, says that the Staudard is not in control. A reporter was detailed to inquire into the knowledge of the rumor possessed by local producers, dealers and users, and in the ovent ot its truth, to obtain opinions of the effect of the operation of the consolidation on all concerned. It was learned that the confirmation of the report that the Standard oficials have suo- ceeded in_ bagging a controlling share of white lead certificates would necessarily create unfavorable comments and reflections by reason of the notoriously bad flavor at- taching to that monopoly’s methods. Mr. Oscar Goodman did not believe it probable that there wouid be any alarming reduction in the commodities, and did not see hiow his firm would be affectea by the combination if it was made. If the Standard did anything in white lead it would have to put up a big consideration, as the producers of that commodity were making plenty of money, aund would " be disposed to hang ou to a good thing. He was not prepared to suy what the effect of the combination would be, but thought his intercsts would be pre- served, Mr. Woodman—We don't know anything about such a report. So far as linseed oil assistance is concerned, we know there is not a shadow of truth in it. I know a good deal about the linseed oil business of the corroders in United States, ana there has been no confer- | ence of that interest with the white lead or Standard people. The Standard oil outfit has nothiifg to do in any way, shape or form with the production of linséed oil and 1 would regard an attempt by the Standard to control theso lincs, in o business way, as preposterous. - Whild there 1s a_white lead trust it dogsn’t - begin to include all the cor- roding L'Illlncll,{ of the country, It might be that such’’a tentralization of production would wor out'a cheapening of production which would finally accrue to the consumer, Mr. Woller, pf the Richardson Drug com- pany—The *Standard Oil company cannot’ conirol the white lead and turpentine out- -put. The Carbon oil people have lots of money, but when they come to absorb these products they will find interosts too_divorsi- fled for _their-management. The Southern and Collier, companics of St. Louis, and Eck- stein, of Cineinnati, do about as profitable a whité lead business'as falls to the Standard in oil, and it is hardly businesslike to antici- pate the buying up of these producers by the Standard. The control of the turpentine business includes tho purchase of North Carolina almost. Ican sec that pricos on that staple could be. dictated for a short time, but "just as soon as an_attempt’ should be made to greatly enbauce prices, the premium thus offered would create sources of supply that would speedily tone the market to a normal condi- tion, and the final user of turpentine would be saved from harm. Mr. Bruce, of Blake, Bruce & Co., said that he had no knowledge of the subjoct’ from which to speak authentically, but thought that perhaps the Standard people had the connection of cheap transportation with tur- pentine. They certainly had the advantage of tank cars loaded to the turpentine dis- tricts with carbon oil, which could carry re- turn loads of turpentine, The Standard Oil company had been selling Blake, Bruce & Co. turpentine for two years at less cost de- livered in Omaha than could bo obtaned from any other consignors, and better facil- ities for transporting the commodity might explain the cheaper delivery in this city. 5. B. Hayden, secrotary of the Cartor White Lead Co., said that Messrs. Hentz, Rogers & Thompson had denied the rumor of the control of the white lead trust by the Standard Oil company. The first named gentleman is president of the oil and lead trusts. It wasonly a question of time wnen the Carter and other white lead produ outside of the trust would become a par what he termed the combination to ke paying pr He thought the foundation of the rumor in fact would mean reduced cost in production and to the consumer.

While I was thinking over my centenninl oration, I had a lotter from him stating that he wis in Washington and asking for assistance. 1 thought ho might help me in gathering data that 1 wanted iin the congressional library and from other sources in Washington which 1 could not find in the books I had gathered. Itold him Iwould compensate him for his work. I have received nothing from him ex- cept a photograph of an ordinance of 1757 and a sketeh of the life of Richard Henry Lee, which he wanted published in pamphlet form and desired my judgment on. 1 went on and wrote my oration and informed him 1t was finished, whereupon I received an ex- orbitant bill from him, he claiming he was entitled to it for his work, although he had not sent me anything because I had stopped him with information that my oration was finished before he had had time to compile and digest his work. I refused to pay his bill, though,on account of our otd relations, 1 wrote him I was willing to compensate him for his mistake. He then wrote me that if I did not send him §1,500 by last Thursday he would try the caso in the newspapers and subsequently in the courts. 1 concluded at once the best thing for me to do was to lot nim go ahead.” st THE “SECRET UNION."
