Bellevue and Omaha are the same, and the rifle range at Bellevue established by Colonel Henry, and at which, owing to his high standing as an oficer, there have been so many differont competitions, has resulted in Omaha having been advertised in overy part of the United States, Colonel Henry was born at Fort Smith, Indian Territory, where his father, an army officer, was on duty.

The Omaha delegation to the festivities at Watertown, S. D., have returned, filled with onthusiasm over tho prospects of the town. Watertown 15 a strong candidate for the cap- ital site of the state of South Dakota, and is making a vigorous fight, backed with plenty of money and energy, in support of her claims, The returned visitors are loud in their praise of the hospitable treatment they recelved, and of the beauty and e y of Watertown, They visited Luke Kamposka, which they describe as a beautiful sheet of fed by living springs, with stretches y beach and high foliaged bluffs. The city water supply comes from this lake and is a8 pure and cold as spring water. A steam motor line connects tha lake with the town, making it accessible at all times and a well patronized resort for anglers, rowers aud campers, Watertowu is scarcely ten years old, but it boasts of & population of 7,000 in- habitants, water works, electric lights, nine banking {nstitutions, four railroads, practi- caliy no bonded indebtedness, motor lines, and some of the finest buildings in the Da- kotas, Its people are intensely progressive, and are bidding for new wanufacturing en- torprises and gotting thom.

The wild-eyed reporter and scdate editor were exhibited, the intelligent composltor held up to view and the merry pressman shown in his glass cago. The chorus of “Oh, my's!” and *‘Ah, me's!” that greeted each new wonder was terrific, In every de- partment something new was found. Bhe stereotyping rooms and the electric vlants were the chief points of interest. The names of these handsome young trawners of youthful ideas are Misses Marston, Sieverly, Myer, Mack, McDonald and Gannon, of Omahia; Miss Fogelstrom, of Fremont: Miss Jones, of Kairfleld, Ia., and Miss Rogers, of Lansing, Mich, A Mecting of Fire Chiefs, The national association of chiefs of firo departments in Kansas City September 10, Chief Galligan, of the Omaha department, who_is on the committee of arrangemeats, left last night for Kansas City to take part in arranging the programme, May Not Accept 1t.

Plane erday, from morning sister, Mrs, J. ANDERSON AND O'KEEFFE. Bach Makes a Bid For the Millard Vote. DRUGGISTS MUST BID AGAIN, Owing to a Blunder in Making the Lists, Another Week's Delay En- sues—A Slight Reduction in Tax Levy—The Hospital. The County Commissioners. Someone has blundered; and *‘someone’ seems to be able to do nothing but blunder, in the repeated efforts to get bids on Douglas county’s drugs, When the commissioners met yesterday all the bids last invited were in the hands of the clerk. Three of them were accompanied by emphatic protests against the style of the list on which bids were asked. Leslie & Co., Blake, Bruce & Co., and W. J. Hughes declared they were bidding in the dark, on accoupt of numerous interlineations, erasures, etc., in the lists offered them, and they thought they were uot getting a fair show. Iurther, they said that the lists furnished them were not alike in all particulars. Mr. O'Keefe declared that it was a scheme, but declined to go into particulars, How- ever, he demanded that the county druggist furnish the county clerk with a correct list, identical copies of which should be sent to each of the bidders. After Clerk Rocie explainea that the county druggist was responsible for the irregularities—the lists having been referred to him for correction—the board ordered that the bids should be returned unopened, and that others should be ready next Sat- urday. A request from the fair association that fifteen deputy sheriffs be appointed for duty during fair week was referred to the sheriff and county attorney, The county surveyor reported that a ‘“‘combination” truss viaduct, with twonty foot roadway and sidewalk on one side, could be built with three trusses of forty-five, seventy and thirty feet respectively, with pile foundations at the ends, and the support over the rallway tracks of steel cylinders, for about $2,800. A clear span of 150 feet would cost $3,500, It is purposed to erect this viaduct at the west end of the Boule- vard, in Sherman place, and the report was roferred to the briage dommittee. 1In regard to the viaduct asked for over the Belt Line railway on Leavenworth street, the surveyor reported that work was delayed in order to ascertain what action the park commission would take in reference to & proposed park west of this viaduct location, Applications for transportation were re- forred to the committee on charity. As usual, the meéting had not progressed far before Anderson and O'Keefe became involved in & row. Tha president had oc- casion to repeatedly forbid personalities. It was over a bill of $268.75 asked by Millard parties to reimburse them for paying the ex- benses of a pauper who died out there last fall. Quarrels without number bave been raised over the matter, but by adroit bedging & flual settlement has been avoided. O'Keefe was loaded to the muzzle with facts yesterday afternoon, and Ander- son did somio lively squirming s the arrows were let fly, O'Keefe charged that Ander- 80D was trying to use this matter for politi- cal effect, saying that he (O'Keefe) had once got & rattling good vote for doing the right thing by Millard, and that Anderson now expected to get a good vote sowewhere else by snubbing Millard, But he didn’t. Net Anderson, for he pro- ceeded at once to steal O'Keefe's powder by moving that the bill be allowed. Then O'Keefe kicked barder than ever. It wouldn't do to let Anderson get credit for passing the bill. Accordingly he took the ouly way around that rock by moving to grant the charily committee five minutes recess 11 which to prepare a report. The motion was carried and on recommendation of the committee the biil was allowed by & unanimous vote, Au estimate by Superintendent Coots on material and labor used at the County hospital was alloved. The amount was $5,001.50. The chief item was $2,800 on change in floors, By resolution 1t was decided that the county should pay $2,400 for the intersections in paving district No. 219, this amount being apart of the $5,000 originally promised for Thirtieth streot. Corrigan reported upon the condition of the road fund, stating that the whole amount available for use at the opening of tho season was $76,500, and that the amounts already expended aud contracted for were enough to make an overlap ot $14,850. In the face of this report the road fund ‘was immediately bled to the tune of §3,071.49. Several smaller appropriation bills from the general fund were allowed. In order to make the total state and county levy 20 4-5 mills, tho levy of 4-5 wmills on ac- count of the insane fund was reduced to 53-1 20, O'Keoffe wasn’t satisfled to let the Millard watter drop yot. In the first set-to Ander- son had, by a trick, taken the wind out of O'Keeffo's sails. 'But_thero was one boint on which O'Keoffe could stickle for further contention, and he grasped at 1t with the same avidity that Sullivan displayed in ar- ranging his recent discussion with Kilrain. ‘Phere was a doctor in the lobby, an old man from Millard. Ho had attended the pauper and, he said, sent in a bill to the county for his services. The clerk denied ever having seen the bill. OlKeeffo angrily declared it must hive been brought in and filed as the Millurd physician alleged. Anderson, to whose committee (finance) the whole Mil- lard uccount was _referred, defended the clerk by saying thatno such bill ever came before his committee, and he didn’t bo- lieve it over had existence, Then O'Keefo smid that the record, which failed to show that the bill had been received, was doctored. He sat down declaring that the matter wasn’t ended yet. Anderson laughed quietly, but from_appearances O'Keefe had the favor of the Millard delegation at the closo of tho fight. Finally, at a quarter of 6 o'clock, theboard adjourned to meet Tuesday morning at 9 9 0'clock. A SBENSATIONAL FAILURE. Sudden Collapse of the Western Cas- ket Company. In June, 1888, three young men came to Omaha from Jackson, Mich. To Jackson they came from Akron, O., and were vouched for at this latter place s respectablo young men of good habits, but without capital. They were Louis A. Bryan, J. M. Conory and J. T. Clapp, Here they proposed to go 1nto business and went to the board of trade with u c story of their intentions. ‘They had experi- ence, business ability, and only needed finan- cial assistance to put an important manufac- turing insuitution in operation. They inter- ested Louis Iteed, of the Nebraska National bauk, in their project, and he helped them to raise, in subscriptions from business men in sums rangiug from $§5t0 as many hundveds, a bonus of $3,500. With this amount in hand, these young men incorpor- ated the Western Casket company late in June in 1883, Bryan was_elected president, Conory secretary, and J, T, Clapp vice pros- adent. They approached the lumbermon and brick and machinery dealers, and secured on time the materials to build with and the necessary machinery. Lots at Twenty-ninth street and the Belt line were purchased from Beattie, with S. A.Orchard & Co., for $2,100, $400 being paid down. “The next deal made by these euterprising young men was with Mr. Martin, of the Guarantee Investment company, an institu- tion connected with the Douglas County bank. Mr. Parrotte was also prominent in the [nyestment company, but as he was out of the city at that time, the Western Casket company succeeded in getting a loan of $6,500 trom Mr. Martin. When Mr, Parrotte re- turped he rhised a storm about it and the Investment company was disrupted. This mouey was used to pay for the lum- ber, brick and maohinery. 13ut the quintescence of gall was exhibited in January, this year, Oun the mnth day of that month, & 6 ‘por cent dividend was de- clured out of Mr. Martin's illfated $6.500, and on the strength of the dividend Audrow F. Ross bought and paid for $3,000, . W, Dixon for $4,000 and Mr. Pettis for 4,000 worth of stock. Mr. Pettis 18 a broth law of Mr. Woodrow, local manager of Brad- street. Mr. Bryan shrewdly gave Mr. Pet- tis a lucrative position with the compan; just to get him to buy stock, Mr. Pettis thought; but that wasn't' all. They su eded in floating enough additional stock to bring the total up to 318,350, all of which they ° pocketed, and subsequently fired Mr. Pettis, But the euterpriso of gsthis trio did not exhaust itself thus soon. Next they borrowed $5,500 from the Omaha National bank giving ' chattie mortgage on their whole plant and stock. Then they bought a fine largze stock of goods in the eastern markets, paying, of course, with promises only. And they bilked the local merchants, everyone, who would be beaten, in sums frora 10 cents up. The aggrogate of these small claims is estimated at Dun’s to be about $1,000. But they flew too high, and yesterday started downward by giving to the Omaha National the chattel mortgage alluded to above, This morning Ross and Dixon, in the order named, sued out attachments against the casket company. Others will probably follow. R. G. Dubn & Co. cha terized the affair as simply a confidence game, and hinted that if the creditors were alive to their interests Bryan et al would be arrested before night. The light in which trade agencies have re- garded the company may be judged from the following statement by R. G- Dun: According to a report made by the company to the Dun ~ Mercantile age on. March b last, its liabilities were $1 56 and its as- sets $53,610.56, leaving its assets over liabili- ties §3: 69, To this statement the m cantile agency avthat time added the follow- ing comment So far as we can ascertain this statement is on ity face co though the value of the “houses and lands” 3 thougnt to be ex- o . The trade here scems to distrust the ment and think that their intention is to unload their stock when it wiil be found that the assots are not available for_the fig- ures at which they are placed, and caution is thought necessary in deals with them, till they become better established at loast. 4 The Other Sido. Mr. Taylor, of the Bradstrest company, and Mr. James A. McConory, secrotary of the Western Casket company, called at Tre BeE offico last evening and took exceptions to the above statements made by R. G. Dun & Co, Mr. Conory stated thut the entire articlo was a tissue of falsohoods and would do their company incaleulablo injury, Mr. Taylor says that tho statoments above as given by the R, G. Dun company were executed fora purposo, and the article is one that no business man would counten- ance. He also says that if ho were writing a card for public psint he wonld hold o little closer to the truth thun the R. G. Dun company has done. The trouble among the members of the carpet company was purely a privato, per- sonal matter. 'Messrs. Koss and Dixon, noy having any faith in the business ability of Bryan, McConory and Clapp, wished to freeze them out. 'As stockholders, Koss and Dixou could uot do this, but they could do so wdirectly, and to this end a mortgage was glven the Omaha Nutional bank and_was re- called only yesterday morning. Mr, Me- Lonory says further that the lots on which they buiit their fuctory cost 84,200, and all the money was paid ou it when the mortgage wiss given Louis RReed, not as a member of the Ne- brasia National bunk, but us a member of the board of trade, secured subscriptions not for §6.,500, but for ouly §1,600, and only $1,100 is was paid, e loan of $06,500 from the Guarantee Loan and Trust company was made by David Bennison, prosident of the company, Mr. Parrotte was in the city at the time, and with the other officers of the company ex- amined the property at the time and was anxious to make the loan, The papers were bought by Mrs. Zenuer as an investment, and although the company has offered her the money she has refused it. The company originally owed the Omaha National bauk $3,000, and about the middle of last month the account resched 5,500, this being the amount the bank was carrying the company for. The members of the company intended to defraud o one, each member wishing to push the business lewiti- mately, The liabilities of the concern do not exceed $17,000, and there are assets suf- ficent to woet all obligations if the plant can be operated for the benefit of the directors, 1t is provosed to open up Monday morning and an attempt will be made to make the planl bring as large and legitimate profits as ai possible. The assertion that the members of the company floated sufticient stock to bring tha total up to_$18,850 and then pocketed the procoods, Mr. McConory most ‘emphatically o nies. Mr. Woodrow's Statement. To the Editor of Tur Bee: Mr., Bryan ana Mr. McConory, officors of the concern, roferred parties to me that were sceking ine vestment. The parties were informed by me as to the need of additional funds for the concern ang.also the condition of the busi- ness. My statements were that if the come cern had the propar management and they. required additional fun ds it would be a good investment, as the line of trade was regu- lated by a combination. So far as my one tering nto any scheme to mislead anyone, it is 80 absurd that Ido not deem it worthy of notice, F. B. Woobrow. One of the Victims. OmAnA, August 24.—To the Editor of Tam Bre: In your issuc of August 24 I notice that you give my name undue prominence in connection with the Western Casket com- pany: in order to correct the errors into which you have fallen, and to protect my good name, I ask that you will please punlish this which ‘will parfiaily relieve me from the opprobrium which your article casts upon me. 1 did not come to Omaha in 1833 with the two young men, as mentioned, neitker did I know them until late in March this yi I purchased stock soon after comiug liere late in March, but was induced to purchase it on the strength of the January dividend men- tioned in your article and also by a statement made to me by the management on March 2 1859, 1 was not elected vice president until the last of Muy, 183; I, with otuers, resigned my office to make room_for the new stock- holders, Messra.
