A workingman, seemingly straightfor- ward and well posted, applied to the city marshal yesterday to see if some way could novbe dovised for stopping a scheme by which, he claims, laborers are being en trapped by unscrupulous contractors. T'he man's story is but a repetition of that of his companions. Three of them, being out of work, responded to an advertisement of an Omaha employment agency, and were assured they would be given work on each paying the fecof 2. They paid, and each mat received a card, with instructions to re- vort for duty on the' Indian_creok sewer ex- tension in Counctl Bluffs, They came here Sunday, and Mouday moruing began work On Tuckduy afternoon auother gang of men bearing like cards, appeared at’ the scene of labor, and the boss at once made room for them by discharging an cqual number af men. The throe had worked about twodays. were to receive 8. ard 10 & tent on the grounds, paying £ week, or 50 cents a day. On being dis- charged the men got no pay for what t had done, and the amounnt due for two day: after deducting tho board, was ouly §2, 50 that it did not pay to sue for it. In fact, they have no mouney to sue with, Some of the city oficials have been inquir- g into the matter, for it looks very much as if there was a scheme between the employ- ment agency and the contractors. The em- ployment agency, under such an arrange ment, makes § Sach from an indefinite num- ber of workingmen and the contractor gets two days’ work for the cost of board, leaving bim a clear profit also of § wan, thus mak- 1ng the “divy" about even The contrictor to whom the eity let the work has sublet a portion of it to other par- ties so that itis a little dificult to determine as to the responsibility or the speediest method of securiog a remedy. The city ofi- clals will investigate and if they find that such @ scheme is going on s now appears, they will lose notime indomg all in their power o end it, and that right speedily. i bl To besure that your children have candy, ouy for them the Pomona brand luice’ tablets, et, ure uit Pomona stamed on eacls tab- The trade supplied by Duguetto & Co.

THE NEWS IN THE BLUFF The Eiscman Stock Bought by Mirshall, | Field & 0o, of Chicago. REPORT OF THE W. C, A, HOSPITAL. A Sleek Sclieme to Rob Working ot Their Wages—Fire in the Merriam Block—Minor Mention, At 10 o'clock yesterday, 1n the midst of a driving storm of rain aud snow, a crowd of men representing o great deal of wealth gathered in the Eiseman building for the purposeof attending the assimee’s sale of the immense stock of goods that has been locked up since Christmas day, ®here were many representative business men in tho gathering, and as the purchases they wanted to make caHed for the useof large sums of moncy, every arried certified checks vanging from 0,000 to £00,00. An order was given to exclude ail but bidders and crowds of several hundred cur- iols peovle who were anxious to uote how men conducted themselves when they were bidding sums that aegregated fortunes were pitout. Among the bidders were N. B. Faleoner, S. P, Morse and representatives of Brandels & Son and Kelley, Stiver & Co, of Omaha; Ben iseman, cuting Rice, Stixz & Co. of St. Louis Lay, repre- senting Marshall, Field & Co., Chicago, and a number of other gentlemen who did 1o ister at any of the hotels and whose were not calied Deputy Sheriff McFadden man. After the preliminary and the call for bids interval of several se names was the sales- wnnouncement made there was an sonds, which grew into minutes, The suspense grew almost patuful, and it began to appear thut nobody wanted the property that all seewed anxious to got. Finally the silence was broken by a timidly spoken bid of £25,000. L eame from one of the Omaha gentlemen. The anctioncer did not dwell long until he had several bids that brought the price offered up to 15,000 _This bid was made in the interest of the St. Louis firm. A number of other bids wero made, chiefly by the Omaha men, and the price was rin up Lo K68,000. Palconer then bid above this and Morse follovzed with a bid of $70,000. Among the early bidders was Mr. (. C. Lay, and the last bid made by him was 571,000 and some odd hundreds. This reached nearly the appraisement price and the stock was knocked off to him, The crowd was then hustled out of the store and thedeputy sheriffs were agnin given possession. It was subscquently learned Mr. Lay's bid was made for Mr. J. Holden of Oshiosh, Wis Additional interest was givea the sale by the filing ofa number of new attachment suits. The suits were filed in the district court early in the morning, but the notic were not” served upon the assignee until a fow minutes before the sale begun. They were for the following creditors and were represented by Attorneys Sims and Harl, Brothers, corset manufacturer: . Shubert & Co., 8§13 liam Broadhead & Sons, & Yorguson, #5443 Pfaizer Brothers lary’s woolen manufac ; Worthington & C; $01; American 3 St pan Brothers, | $58: Nickey rubber company, $087 3 L wveedy & (o., 81,605; Langfeld Bros & Co., $244; Lehman Clark, $184; Bohneknitting company,$1,050. In the district court L. Heilprin & Co. also filed a claim for goods sold 1o Biseman & Co. to tha mount of 50 and replevined the goods, alleging that at the time they were shipued to the firm here, Biseman & Co., the latter knew.t were insolvent and were then intending to disjose of their property with the intent of rauding their creditors. In the superior court Weil, Dreyfus & Co. filed an attachment for §700. All of the above suits were attachments, except the ono re- plevin suit mentioned. In the federal court there werefiled: J. H. Leec & Co., $2,709; Goodman, Bastinell & Co., 3,400; Woods, Brow & Co,, $3,700: Harris & Russuk, $2,976; Kobu Brotners, 8,425, When asked why the filing of these claims had been postponed so long, the attorneys for the attacning “creditors stated that they had been waiting to give the Eisemans a chance to do_thesquarething by them; that no propositionof any Kind had been made by them to the creditors, and that they had be- come couvinced that the ouly way in which they could hope to realize any- thing on their claims was through some such move s they have now proceeded to make. “We figured on the case,” said one of them, “and Tound at the highest calcula- tion there would be not to exceed 20 cents on the dollar left for the rest of us after these preferred creditors had been paid Ve were not satisfied fied with the outlook, very naturally, We thought that the fact of the chattel mortgages haying been filed the very day before the present assignment was mado was a suficient ground for elatming fraud, We don't claim that Oficer & Pusey and the rest of the mortgairees were implicated in the fraud, however, Our idea now is to turn the the tibles on these fellows who were going to shut us out in the cold. If all our plans turn out us we now think they will I'see no reason why we shouldu't realize 100 cents on the dollar, while they haveto play the sec- ond fiddle.” The stock is now 1n the posscssion of Mr, J. E. Rolden, a commercial traveler for the firm of Marshall Ficld & Co. of Chicago Some curiosity was fe he would do with it, now that he hasit. When asked about the matter by a Bie reporter, he re- pli ] am going to keep it right here and sell it just as soonas 1 can make the necessary arrangements, whether 1 shall make the establishent a permanent thing or ot I can't tell justnow, as I am a stranger here and I can’t tell how it will pan out." This statement sets at rest the feavs of some who thought that the stock would be taken away in order to prevent the utte demoralization of the Couucil Bluffs mark Marshal, Field & Co. haviig some of the Largest diy goods fivins in the city on their list of patrous. It issaid, indeed, that the purchase by Marshal, Field & Co, wi a shrewd move to protect their BlufT: from the roads which would have been made upon their trade if some oue elso had bought the stock and placed it upon the market at bankrupt sale. Under tue circumstancesit is not liki the goods will be placed on much of a sucrifice. A number of reporters found John N, Bald- win, attoruey for Samucl P. MacConnell, as- signee of [lenry Eiseman & Co., at his office, and got his statement with reference to tud salo of the kiseman stock of dry goods, Mr. Baldwin said: “The stock of goods was sold for §70,945 to J. E. Hollen of Oshkosti, W Mr Holden of course will not continue the busi- ness atCouncil Bluffs. He evidently pur- chased the stock as 4 mere matter of specula- tion, He will probably open for a fow days and sell what he can here, although I don't know definitely what his movements will be. I regret exceedingly that the stock was not sold to persons who would keep this store open and continue the business here. [ had prepared articles of incorporation and had incorporated a company, called the Council Bluffs mercantile company, to purchaso this stock of goods and to coutinue the business at Council Bluffs. It would have been a very strong o uy, and it would have added to the stock runit inan even wore extensive manuer than 1t was run by the Eisemans, I was authorized to bid for this company an amount equal to the amount for which the stock actually sold today. At the last mo- meut, however, at 10 o'dock this morring, justas wo opened the dgor for the sale, i number of creditors filed attachments, charg ing fraud upon the part of Feury and Simon Eiseman, ‘This precipitates, of course, & fight, and tho parties I represented didn't care to luvest in and buy not only the stock, but also a law suit with it, and they in- structed mo not to bid for them. 1 did bid for other parties, but would have bidden more for the Council Blufts mercantile company, had not this litigation ensued I have been fighting hard as a citizen of Council Bluffs to keop this magnificent store open. The resultis dueto the haste of ava ricious creditors, und in my juagment is wholly without warrant and authority. Of course it would have been impossi- possiblo for attichments o bave beeu levied without getting bondsmen in Council Bluffs, I was very much surprised to find that the bondsmen y that the market at | merchandiso; Mrs. who aided these foreign creditors in thus in- | A, Keeline, morch terfering with this valuable improvement to Council Blufts were J. D. Edmundson and John Beno, also one James Sims. The amount of the attachments is about £0,000. We will fight. these attachmentsto the' end and will institute suits upon the bonds for the wron g ful issuance of the attachments and the in terference with the sale, 1 am quite reliably fuformed that all these attachments wero brought for the purpose of ~endeavor- fig _to force a settement. I am fearful that it wil be a long time before we can get any one who will put up money enough tostock such a fine store as the Biseman building, 1had the matter all arranged and fixed to get a good company in there to run it, asl have stated before, but we will now have to button up our coats against another lick at Council Bluffs, Let the blame rest upon those who have brought ahout {his untoward result. It scems that the weapons of war to battle down another aterprise in Council Bluffs were aforded by Council Bluffs men.* LAST THREE DAYS, Lust Three Days of the Boston Great Annual Clearing Sale ious to Inventory, ol Blufrs, The great annual sale is drawing to a close ow is the time if_you need anything in un- derwear, hosiery, biavkets, comforters, dress goods, coats, shay ete.
