¥ 4 FOR CALAMITY ~ CROAKERS. Financial Bituation in Nobraska Thoroughly and Honestly Oonsidered, COMMENDED TO CHEAPER MONEY CRANKS, Accumulated Profits of the State's Oltizens to Render Them Entirvely Independent-An Important Pecuniary Phase. Cnioaco Orrick or Tar Bee, | Citicavo, July 14, § Commenting on Tuy Bre's reports from various counties of Nebraska as to the finan- clal condition, the Journal this evening says »sits In the state and natlonal banks ,507,00. This money Is owned by those who wont to Nebraska as poor men twenty years ago to engage In trad or In the chanioal industrios, or In uituro, Nota cent helongs to the “protected olasses” as a calamity writer would suy. The entire sum has beon acoumulated by honest profits in ecommorce and by honest labor in the shops and on the farms. Itis noarly enough to pay the entire morteage Indebtedncss of all the people of the state, Tt averages 87 per head of the population cranks demand while the uitra flat money that new cutrency shall bo fssued to make the entire sum average 850 per heao, T people eLraska have almost re ed this point profits and_savings, It I8 evident Ailfunce workers, the stlver inflation= iks. the professional s ot thoir kind o support their val ondition of the p s they ive in their proseivting lab ribune this morning says editorially fiat Ing The stat cs reported yesterday from Dbrasia prosent a phase of tho p Ituntion tha ay bo commended t alderation of those who are shouting wit Pefle r cheaper mg and plenty of It The % of the state and national bank aggrn 50,600,000, or H7 per capita of the population of the state.

The people of that and other states wouid puss through fow months' season of financial fover, the hectic flush of which might be mistuken by some for the glow of health, and then would cone tho collapse. JUDGE BLODGETT'S RETIREMENT, Thero has been_a good deal of talk about tho retirement of Judge Blodgett, who will this month complete his seventicth year and al8o tho twentiath year of his sorvica on tho . His twenty vears' sorvice to the govern- ment will entitle him to full pay—5,000 per year-—during the remander of hus life, even " though he leaye tho bench. It is the' beliof of Judge Blodgett's friends, howevor, that ho has no intention of retirlng, unless ro- urement should bo made necessary by failing healtn, of tho olass JIM HALL'S CONDITIO! Mr. Charles F. Daviss, ‘‘tho parson,” ar- rived in town this morning from Beloit, Wis., whero he said he loft Jim Hall this morning “anoring like the mischief.” “Hall is in tha pink of condition,” said the amiable parson. “Ho looks well and eats heurtily—that is, as heartily as a man can ouv undor tho circumstances. He gives me every assurance of putting up a good fight. No, I won't say we'll win, but we'll make a %00d man fight hard for his life, I teli you." CANNON OUT FOIt GOVERNOR. It is said on good authority that Joseph Cannon is hard at work for the nomination for governor of Illnois. He is said to be writing letters all over the state and sending word to bis friends that they are expected to 1ook after the delogations in their respective countios, Comptroller Matthews, a repre- senative of the Cannon wing of the party, who wants the nomination for himself, is & littlo worried by those roports, but thinks in the cud he will be able to beat out the states- man from Danville, A MODEL LODGING TOUS When the new seven-story building at School and Clinton streets, haif a block south of Madison stroet, 15 completed, it will be opened upas a lodging house under the name of tho Friendship hotel. T'he hotel, which is intended for the accommodation of unmarried men from theeranks of the mechanics and laboring classes, will have 540 rooms fitted up on the six upper floors of the building. 1t s the intention of the men behind the pro- joct to make the Friendship the model lodging houso of tho world. THE GLUCOSE SYNDICATE. 1t is understood that the plunt of the Chi- cago sugar refinery will be the first of the lucoso properties to be transforred to the Suglish syndicate which has bought out the old trust.” The Chieago plant is valued at about ,#1,000,000, counting the real estate to whicn'it'bas title, 1t s the purpose of the British investors to at once take possession of as many of the glucose plants as possiblo. They have purchased a new and improved process, by moans of which, It1s clmimed, 3 5 por cont increased yield may be had from each bushel of corn used. One or two of the plants will be changed somewhat and de- voted to the manufacture ot starch. At least ono of the plants, said to be that at Fast St. » Louis, will be converted into a distillery. 1t 18 said by those connected with tho syndicate that they will take up the fight against the whisky trust and carry on the war in earnest, War i3 ulso predicted Wwith the starch trust. Scarcely a year ago thero was organized in Now York city the National starch company, which was tho amalgamation of nearly all the starch compauies of the country, This com- pany has paid two large diidends already and it is not likely that it will watch any en- croachment om its trade with complaicen TUIEVES CLEVERLY CAPTURED, An interesting story was revealed by the confossion of two clover hotel thievoes ar- restod Lere and turned overto New York officers lust ovening. Two years ago two excursion steamers collided in Now York harbor. Several people were hurlod inte the water, among them Eugene . Robinsou,who would have drowned had not ‘one of the pas- sengers jumped into the water and saved the king mav at the risk of his own life. It afterwards became kuown that the rescuer was Joseph Givendelmyer, owner of exten- sive mines in Nevada, and prominent in New York fiuancial cireles. Mr: Rooinson hunted bim upand presented him with a gold watch valuod at $350 and a solid gold chain us & token of his gratitude for an act that saved Dis life. Last January, whilo Givendelmyer was stopping at a hotel in New York, his watci and obain and considerable money were stolen. The polico have been working on tho case ever since,and yesterday Chicago officors arrested Daniel Albriso and Mathew Halpin, who were in the hotol at the time of ho theft,as they were disposing of the watch ata pawn shop.

The mammoth lomber interests reproe- sented in Omaha by the Howell lumber com- pany is in financial distress, Yosterday afternoon the company exeouted abillof saloto C. L. Chaffee, the lumber- man, of the entire stock, yards, book ac- counts and effects of the local house the con- sideration being 811 This was immediately followed by an at- tachment in favor of tne First National bank of Chicago to sccure large clauns of an amount not made publie. Nothing definitc has been learned locally of the extent of the trouble or the amount of the cowpany’s pssots or liabilities. M. Jowett, manager of the local house, was unablo'last night to make any statement. T'he main oftice and yards of the company are in Chicago whe nuel R. Howell, the presigent lives and managos the business. The brauch at this city is run under the name of the Howell lumber company, and another at Atchison is under the firm style of Howell & Co. The local yards here form ono of the largest lumber inierests in tho ity and aro under the management_ of Mr. H. N. Jewott. The fwlure was the in. Jumber ircles last night. ‘The Howells ve had the reputation of doing business after 4 manner of their own- and have not found it necessary to lot their rivals know of their trade or commercial transactions. [t has beon generally under- stood among lumbermen for some time that tho company bas been unfortunate in its in- vestments in timber lands in Kansas and Texas and the fajlure is attributed in a largo nfeasuro to their unfortunate deals which have been made by the branch houses. Then again the company has had trouble with the inter-state commerce com- mission over alleged violations of certain rules ana a large amount of money has been speut in litigation over that matter. Surprise has been expressed at the sale of the local brancn to Mr. Chaffeo instead of the kst National bank of Chicago, which is kunown to have been backing the company for some time. Fire caused a 820,000 loss in the yards of tho local company on April 2. The firm at that time carried an_insurance of $240,000, which is considered by tumbermen as fully covering the valye of the stock now ou hand. e “That tired feelng is entirely overcome by Hood's Sarsaparilla, which gives a feeling of buoyancy and strength to the wholo system. L Ko SCHOOL CENSUS. Showing Made by the Enumeration Completed Yesterday. The work of taking the school consus of Omaha has just been comploted. Total ln- crease over the number reported last year is 2,753, There are somo very singular featuros 10 this school ceusus business, when the figures of the past two years are compared. In the First, Second, Fifth and Eight] wards there 15 an_apparent decrease in thi number of school children, but the gain in the other wards is sufiicient to ovorbalance this ana show a respectable increase. The most remarkablo variation is shown in the Third ward, where last year the enumorator claimed he could find but 712 persons between the ages of five and twenty yoars. 'This year tho number returned is 3,014, showing an in- crease of 2,802 1n that ward It is genorally concedod that the enumer- ator for the Third ward last year must have mado an ogregious error in his work. In 1889 the Third ward enumerator re- turned 1,036, Tho figuros from that vard for the past three years' enumerations seem to indicate that there has been & marked dif- ference in the ability of the enumerators to find porsons of school ago residing in the Third ward, Following' is a comparative statoment of the enumeration for tho years 1500 and 1391 : WARDS, 1801, First ward. . 2,740 Second ward 4107 Third ward, 0000 Pourth ward.. .

Ob‘orgo & Alton's Tnterest Will Be Cast for Harmony, RUMORED CALIFORNIA RAILROAD DEAL Standard Oil Company Magnates Sal to Be After the Southern Pacifio ~Rockageller Denies the Report. Curcaco, July 14.—General Manager Chap oll of the Chicago & Alton, discussing the attitude of his company with respect to the Waostern Passenger association, said today: “ILam glad it is over and wo know just where wo stand. It is a relief to know we are once more managers of our road and need not ask the permission of our competitors whether we can make a change in the interest of our patrons and stockholders *“The meeting ot the managers last Satur- doy was & mistake. I supposed it to bo a general movemont endorsed by the higher ofticials of all the roads and only loarned whilo the meoting was in session that the call had been issued by the Rock Island and the Illinois Central against the advice of sovorul other roads. Had I Kuown this carlier there would have been no report from this road at the meeting. Tho Alton has nothing to regret in the course it has pur- sued. We are firmly of the opinion today as we ever were that it is the duty of the mem- bers of the association to live up to the agreement aud Chairman Finloy's rulings contlicted with it. Ho has uo right to mako a ruling not autherized or consistent with the agreement. We have been urged to ap- peal from nis decision and let the assoclation decide the mattor. 1f wo did that we would be obliged to abide by the association’s vor- dict, and 1t is practically certain that twc- thirds ‘of the members would vote to sustain the chairman, if for no other pur- pose than to punish tho Alton for its refusal 10 join the Western Traftic association. The only course loft opon to us would be with- drawal from the association. We profer to let them throw us out, as they have done, and 50 Lake upon themselves the odium of causing whatever trouble may follow. 1f thoy can stand it we can.” It is the general improssion that at the spe- cial meeting of the Western Passonger asso- cintion next Thursday it will be decided to cxchange_certificates with the eastern roads on excursion business. 1f this is done, how- ever, it will probably not be without some hesitation on tho part of the immediate com- petitors of the Aiton, as doubtless the least tno Alton will do will be to meet any through rates that may be made to eastern territory by shading its local rates and making tuo tickets good to bearer both ways. BREAKING A RATE AGREEMENT. The agreement of the Central Traffic as- sociation lines to make no reduced rates on account of harvest home seekers excursion is in danger of being smashed by the same in- fluence that wrecked 1ts ruin last year. It transpires that the Laske Erie & Western, the Ohio & Mississippi, the Chesapoake & Obio, and other roads from Cincinaati and Indianapolis have decided to adopt the ex- cursion rates to western points by way of St. Louis. The Pennsylvania and Big Four will apparently = bo forced to meot the competition by way of Si Louis and the Monon will no doubt find it necessary to protect itself by makin, the samo rates by way of Chicago. It is thought by somo that the movement will go on until it involves the ontire territory of the Central Traftic association. EASTERN TRAFFIC AFFATRS, At the meeting of the freight commission of the Central Traflic association today the only action taken was a reference of the dockoted subjects to the various sub-commit- tees with instructions to roport atan ad- journed session tomorrow. Rumored Railroad Deal. Sax Fraxcisco, Calg July 14.—The Chron- icle's Los Angeles special says: Reports of a startling nature have been received hero from New York regarding a railrond deal of great magnitude. A well known and reputable cit- 1zen of Los Angeles rocently learned in Now York that the Huntington and Searles inter- ests, having the control of the Sou thern Pa- cific company, had changed hands and had been acquired 'by the Standard oil company, Rockafeller, Paine, Brice, Thomas and others, who it is expected will go into the di- rectory of the company Septembor 1, when Rockafeller will assume the office of presi- dent. ‘The informant says he heard from Rockafellor's own Lips of this report when the Standard oil king said it_had long beon his ambition to control the transcontinental railroads. His ambition would not rest with the acquisition of the Southern Pacific, for he will be content with nothing short of a through line from the Atlantic o the Pacific. The dispatch from San Francisco in regard to the Standard oil crowd acquiring tho Huntington, Searle’s interestin the Southern Pacific railroad, was shown to William Rock- afeller this morning. He stated that be had not heard of any such transaction being con- templated. General Thomas stated that he was in en- tiro 1gnorance of any such plan, The Southern Pacific officers at San Fran- cisco denied all knowledgo of the allogad salo of the Southern Pacific to the Standard Oil company magnates, Decision Against Corporations, Aunaxy, N. Y., July 14.—The attornoy goneral has just received from tho gonoral torm of the third department very important opinions involving the right of the state to collect from corporations tho organization tax 1n the case of tho consolidation of corpor- ations. The actions wero against tho Nickel Plate railroad, so-called, and the Fitchburg railroad, and were submittod upon an agreed statement of facts at tho general term in May. Thoamount of the tax in the case of tho Nickel Plate (principal and _interest) is over 87,000. The court holds that when two or moie corporations consolidato the con- solidated corporation is a new corporation and bocomes so by virtue of tho provisions of the state authorizing the consolidating and thus brings it within the scope of the act of 1886, which imposes a tax of one-eighth.of 1 por cent upon the capital stock of every cor- poration incorporated under the laws of that state, to bo paid at the time of 1ncorporation and as a license for the priviloge of incorpor- ation. The court bolds that the companies must pay the tax and directs judgment to be entered. 'The cases were argued by Hon. Samuel E. “illiams of Cleveland, O.. as counsel for the Nickle Plate, These test cases were brought at tho in- stance of the secrotary of state. Trafic Managors Meot.

When Ed Neal, the condemned murderer of Allan and Dorothy Jones, received word that the suprome court had confirmed the sentence of death in his caso and fixad tho day for his execution, ho remarked : “Itis o long timo until October.'” He wi s probavly thinkiog thon of a plan for his escape which has boon maturing for some months and the first tangible evidence of which was made manifost on Friday ove- ning last. Evor since Neal's trial, 8 woman of tho town known as Jo Clark has been in com- munication with him by one means or anoth- er. She was allowed to send him notes and bofore the death watch was placed over the condemned man she was given an occasional chance to converse with him All of the lotters which she wrote him wero filled with maudiin_expressions of affootion aud some of them with desperate statoments of what sho would do to save him from his fate. These woro considored harmless by the ofticers of the jail and but littlo attention ware paid to them until the last decreo of the supreme court in the murderer's case. When this was recoived Jailor Horrigan promptly issued an order prohibiting the woman from holding any private conference with Neal or sonding himn any notos. A fow days ago hows came convinced that the woman were in communication and he at steps to detect the means employed —for tho purpose. Tho Clark woman called every ning and talked with the murderer from the wall at tho south side of tho jail, but as this conversation was heard by the jailer and the guards no attempt was made to stop it. Oue of theso talks, however, furnished Jailer Horrigan a clue. A word was dropped which led him to suspect that the woman was trying to get'word to the murderar through ono of the prisoners in the jail. Mr. Horrigan went to work and soon dis- covered the means employed by the desperato woman to communicate with lier condemned lover. It was found that the letter had to pass through the hands of four varties in order to reach Neal. Pat Ford, jr., was servimg a $30 fine out, and Mr. Horrigan found that ho had a hand 1n the affair. Young Ford had been given some privileges about the jail, and when his treachery becamo known dJailor Horrigan went after him and gave him & lesson in prison discipline. The jailer simply threshed the offonder in the most approved syl of the art and placad him 10 seclusion until tho expiration of his term the next day. Following the cluo which was panning out s0 well Mr. Horrigan securod the letter from tho Clark woman before it reached Neal's hands, The letter was a_revelation. It contained a plan for a cold-blooded attsmpt at murder if necessary to socure Neal's relcase. The Clark woman wrote, in a lot of maud- lin gush, that Ernest Ravmond, one of tho jailbirds, would watch his opportunity to overpower Decker, the assistant jailer, some time when ho was alone, and would ‘secure the keys and release Ne: It 16 cost the lifo of every man in the jail, the desperate woman wrote, it would bo bet: ter than that Neal should' suffer the death denalty. This statoment confirmed_the suspicions of Jailer Horrigan, who has_thought for some time that Raymond was stayiug 1n the coua- ty jail for some purpose. Tho young man is aconvict bird from the Stillwater poniten- tiary and is known in police circles as *'Still- wator.” His right name is Ernest Rayniond and he has spent six months of the nine that he hus been in the city in tho county jail on various charges. He 15 now velieved to have been in a conspiracy with the Clark woman to secure Neal's reloase from jail and to have resorted to petty offensos in order to keep in Jail and carry out his plans. Mr. Horrigan at onco gave Raymond a tasto of solitary confinoment und turned the woman’s note over to Sheriff Boyd. Mr. Decker, tho assistant jailor, against whom the assault was planned 15 an_elderly man and is frequently in charge of the jail when Mr. Horrigan is absent. The plan’ to assaulthim 13 laughed at by tho jailors, as they claim that even 1f such an attempt were succossful Neal's death watch and others in tha jail who are are friondly would bo able to successfully resist any attempt to release the murderer, Jailer Horrigan says ho has had a great deal of trouble in preventing Neal and his inamorata from exchanging notes. Several parties who are in jail on petty offenses havo boen allowed some privileges. They do the cooking and wait on the tables, It i to osome of o these = neople that the Clark woman sent notes and thoy would smuggle them into Neal with his meals and return_his answers to her. Mr. Horrigan says he has finally succeedod in stopping this and now has only one foar and that is that the woman will get poison to Neal and that ho will take it. Do you think Neal would take poison if he could ? was asked. “Ido,” replied Mr. Horrigan. “The woman desporate and would ratber see Neal sui- ide than to have him hauged. Nealis a coward and would rather swallow Doisun than have his neck strotched.” B Senator ingalls At Chautauqua, Council Blufls, Thursday, 2 p. m.
