FOTHERINGHAM, WHITELAW & CoO. Boston Store, Council Bluffs, Ta, Remember, this sale started and | Saturday, January 2Ist and lasts for F., W. & CO. ¥ View of the Cuse, Some of the real estate men of Council Bluffs are disposed to look around for a dark eight days. RTINS M 1) STV BRI e side to the big real cstate deal that was mentioned in yesterday's Ber, and refuso to soe in it such a glittering future for Kast Omaha and northwest Council Bluffs as is seen by the more sanguine. They fear that the obje the transfer may be to block the Nebraska Central railw: 1ts ende to cross the rivemat-this point. A noti fact is that a part of the property fs I directly across ghe. proposed « railway as it is durrently understood from the surveys made during the last year. The survey from the east progressed until it is now b fe in this coun short distance cast of Council Bluffs. The real estate men above referred to are of the opinion that the other roads, who are thought to be heavily interested in the new Omaha Bridge & Terminal Railway com- pany in_the northwestern partof the city, have taken up this plan to hinder the new railway as far as possible, The universal hope of property owners who are not in it for speculative purposes is that this theory may not turn out to be the correct one. The Presbyteri 'h was fillea to overflowing last evening by the friends of Mrs. J. G. Wadsworth, who had been in vited to attend a song recits The audience was in a humor to be pleased, and even had it not been, the first few numbers of the attractive program which was presented would have made it so. Mrs. Wadsworth has a high soprano voice of great strength arid of a beautiful quality that shows itself to greatest advantage in the difficult music of the Italian school. “Ombra Leggiera,” the beautiful aria from Meyerbeer's opera “Dinorah,” was Just adapted to her voice, and the runs, trills and difficult passages with which it abounds were rendered almost faultiessly. The ma jority of the audience, however, were better pleased with pieces of a simpler character, and De Koven's charming “Ferry for Shad owtown™ called forth an enthusiastic encore, which was responded to by another of same author's ballads. Mrs dsworth was assisted by Mus. W. Plank of Lincoln, whose ability as a pianist is well known among Council Bluffs people. Mr, J, H. Simms ac- companied Mrs. Wadsworth's selections in his usual capable manner. The recital was one of the best that has ever been heard in ‘ouncil Bluffs, and it is to be hoped that milar entertainments will be provided quently. Prof. Reynolds' Last. Prof. John Reynolds, the wonderful hyp- notist, concluded his week's exhibition at Dohany’s opera house last night to the larg- est audience that has greeted him during his engagement. All of his subjects were not so thoroughly satisfactory as on the previous evening, but they were sufficiently passive to show his wonderful control over, and put cnough of ntic dispo: tion on" to convulse his nudience with two hours of uninterrupted laughter. Oneof the finest things apparently to his subjects was the balloon voyage from Coun- cil Bluffs to Paris and return, taking in all the principal cities of the eastern states, Niagara Falls, ete., and through Ireland and England to the French capital. A part of the return trip was made in a sailing vessel, and the storm that arose landed the party at Council Bluffs in a desperately seasick con- dition. The intense intercst, wonder and surprise depicted on the faces of the voy- ted the vivid reality of the trip, 1 to some of the ladies when at Niagara that they wiped the from their faces of. Reynolds has made a great reputa- tion in Council Bluffs, and has given a_new interest to the mysterious power that is at- tracting so much attention of the leading minds of the world. Y. ML C.

It is un- derstood thatat that time some sort of action will be taken relating to the complaint of Manager Tinley of the Manawa Ice com- pany. As heretofore stated, Mr. Tinley has demanded of the Board of Health that it re- consider its first action, and remove the ban that was laid on Manawa ice. The mayor has decided upon a plan of action which will be submitted to the board atthe meeting, and the probability is that it will be adopted atonce. A gallon of water and enough ice to make another gallon have been gathered from the point where the ice cutters were at work, and will be sent to the state chemist for an_analysis under the direction of the State Board of Health, When this has been done the local authorities will be in shape to comply with or vefuse the demand of Mr. Tinley. Sudd, Dr. John Beasley arrived in the city from Carbondale, Kan., a day or two ago to visit his 7-year-old daughter, who was visiting her granaparents, Mr. and Mrs. Gibles, at the corner of Thirteenth street and Four- teenth avenue. ~He had been taken sick on the train and had hardly reached Council Bluffs and scen his _child before growing rapidly worse.

Pleasant Soclable Extended Bishop and Mrs. New Last Night, The sociable given at the First Methodist Episcopal church last night, in honor of Bishop and Mrs, Newman was a pleasant af- fair. Many friend4 of the bishop gathered together and the ¢yening was passed very enjoyably. It was @& genuine ‘“sociable.’ Early in the evening Bishop Newman met the ofticial members of the various Metho- dist churches of the city and made some suggestions concerning the needs of the church Omuha. First, he said that it would become ne ) make some arrangement for the splend future of the city, o that the growth of the church will keep pace with the growth of Omaha. He thought some method of con- solidating the financial interests of the Methodist church should be adopted. On suggestion of Rev. Mr. Crane, it was decided to appoint @ commiltee to consider this matter Bishop Newman closed by speaking of the usefulness of a social union. When the social began at 9 o'clock, seve hundred persons were present.

Much painstaking labor was expended in spread ing knowledge of the principles of co-opera tion, 80 popular in the east, and the dificul ties overcome in reaching the present high standing in public estimation were dis heartening and many Bogus Socleties, The wonderful growth and su of loan and building societies in the eastern states naturally attracted the unscrupulous. Com bining elements that appeal strongly to per sons of limited means, speculators were not slow in taking advantage of their popularity for personal gain. A dozen or more foreigh corporations, claiming to be loan and build ing societies, found Nebraska a most invit ing field of operation and promptly took ad W itage of it. There were no legal restraints. The ““Homestead uct” appl Al 0850 ciations only reign concerns were. at liberty to practice those deceptive arts in which they are adepts, and pluck verdants in city and country. How well they accom plished the task unnumbered victims bear willing testimony. To their rascally method nd false pretenses is justly attributed the slow growth of genuine co-operation in the To afford the people of the state some pro. on from bogus loan and building soc s, the legislature of 1801 passed a law dening the scope of the original act and providing for state supervision. The letter and spirit of the law are 1. Mutuality of interest, each stockholder sharing prorata in the benefits. 2. Permitting members to withdraw their investments on thirty days notice; it bor- | rowers, to repay their loans before maturity of shaves, and receive an equitable share of the profits. 3.

Requiving annual reports from ofticers | and the publication of the same, and provid- ing for examination of accounts at least once year by an officer of the state banking The attorney general, auditor of public accounts and state treasurer were consti | tuted a board to carry out the provisions of the law. They are required to examine and approve the constitutioh and bylaws before a certificate can issue authorizing any loan | and building society to do business in the state. The system as well as the governing rules of every society, local and foreign, come within the purview of the and if either contains provisions manifestly unfair or capable of being per- verted to the detriment of the in- vestor, it was made the duty of the board to deny the applicant a certificate of approval. With regard to foreign societies, the law re- quired that their constitutions and by S should comply with the law, and also that the laws of the states in which they were incorporated should “afford us ample protec- tion to the interests of its members as is afforded by the laws of this state to mem- bers of as tions hereafter incorporated under the laws of the state of Nebraska.” This provision in plain terms subjects for- eign societies doing business in the state to the various legal restrictions and require- ments imposed on local corporations, and in addition they are required to appomnt in every county where business is solicited an attorney authorized to accept service of process on behalf of the association. Enforcement of the Law. An examination of the recordsof the state banking board in its dealings with loan and building societies furnishes little evidence of zeal in enforcing the law. law was not enacted. Concerns lacking the vital clements of co-operation, conducting business on plans not on speculative in character, have been endorsed and certified to the people of the state as honest. legitimate loan and building socie- ties. Official commendation goes far toward disarmig suspicion and distrust and gives them a standing which could not be other- wise secured At a meeting of the banking board. No- vember 4, 1801, Bank Inspector MeGrew re- ported on the applications of ten forcign as iations, recommending that certificates be nied. All the reports were approved. ven months later, one of the applications previously rejected was granted, although there is nothing on record to show that_ it anged the plans or provisions which the inspector deemed in conflict with llll‘; law. The minutes of various meetings held during 1892 indicate that the banking board slighted its duties and granted certificates to all applicants from abroad. Some of the Endorsed. At the present time there are twelve for. 1 societics authorized to do_business in Nebraska until January 31 Seven of the number have on file, par or wholly, the papers required by law. These are the North American of St. Paul, United States of St. Paul, People’s of Bloomington, 1L, Conti nental of Kansas City, Eastern of Syracuse, N. Y., Royal of St. Joseph, Mo tional of Des Moines und the N Wyoming huprovement compan A reasonable construction of the st it applied by the state banking would exclude each of these societies f Nebraska. They wholly lack the mutuality of interest required by law, and some of them enforce rules and regulations so glar ingly unjust, measured by the Nebraska law, that they smack of robbery Nome of the Plucking Schemes, The two Minnesota concerns oficially com mended to the people of the state cannot be classed as loan and_building societies with out violating the Nebraska law in all ess tials. The Minnesota law governing organ izations of this class affords the wildest lati tude for their operations, but if a concern organized in_another state attempts to do business in Minnesota_ it is requived to show to the satisfaction of the public examiner that it has £100,000 in bonds or other ap. proved security deposited with some incor- porated trust company. In effect, the law affords Minnesota organizations ample pro tection from outside claimants, and restricts foreign concerns secking business in the state. A Nebraska investor in a Miunesota anization cannot under the law enforc withdrawal until twenty four months after the first payment, but the organization is at liberty to pay off shares before that time “at o discount not to exceed X per cent This provision conflicts with the Nebraska law, which provides for withdrawal ou thirty days notice, But this is not ull. Section 30 of the Min nesota luw permits organization to take 14 per cent of payments on stock for expenses. IPurther on the same section provides that four-fifths of the expenses may be taken from the profits; if profits are not sufficient to pay four-fifths, all may be taken and the balance of the ¢ penses charged up to the permanent expense fund. to be deducted pro rata from the ma tured stock when paid How is it possible to mature stock if the profits are eaten up by expenses!

Search for Phil Kaiser, the missing pro- | | prictor of the Lindell hotel, proved fruitless | yesterday. No trace of his present where- abouts could be discovered, and the belief that something extraordinary has happened, is strengthening. That Kaiser is not alive in the city is certain, or he would have been found by the police or heard from by some of his friends. If heleft the city hurriedly on business he would have written to inform the employes of the hotel some time ago. The question now asked, which has not o answered, is what has caused Kaiser's i prolonged silence. “The employes of the hotel have decided to keep the Lindell open until something | definite can be learned as to what has be- come of the proprietor.
