STATE BANKING BOARD TAKES ACTION Deputy Attorney General Summers Confl- | dent that the Institutions Are Doing Tilogal Business In Nebraska—In- structions 10 County Anthorities. Lixcors, Aug. 22.—[Spocial to Tre Bee.] —The State Banking board has finally con- cluded to take action against the so-called inyestment bond companies that are oper- ating in Omaha and other parts of the state. A meoting of the board was held this fore- noon, at which all_ members wero present. Deputy Attorney General Summers has been dolng some pretty offective work in the way of investigation. He has collated a Jarge number of authorities and examined the subject from every standpoint, and feels confident that the companies are doing an illegal business in this state and that their officers can be prosceuted under the anti- lottery law. Several of these companics have applied to the State Banking board for permission to do business under the laws of the state, but these applications have in every instanco been refused pending the in- vestigation. Now that the attorney general has looked up the law and the authorities the board is satisfled that vhe companies are Allegimate business enterprises and that they can bo prosecuted under the criminal code. The county attorneys of the several counties in the state are recommended to commence prosecution against the officers or agents of the companies and the backing of the legal department of the state is guarantoed in any case that may be commenced. 5 At the meeting of the bauking board th afternoon the following resolutions were unanimously adopted: Whereas, Soveral so-called bond Inyestment companies of this and other states have ap- lied 1o this board for permission to transact business in this state, und ench and all of snid applications have boen refused, notwithstand- ing which tho board has recelved reliable fn- formation that some of sald companies are dolng husiness In this state, and have ngonts and solicitors industriously pushing the salo of their so-called bonds, and aroadvertising their business in some of thy newspupers within this state; and Whereas, The State Banking board Is of tho opinion thit all of said bond investment com- panios doing businss in thisstito fare trans; acting such husiness in violation of law, and aro iilogitimate and swindling concerns, which take the money 6f our people and make no turn therefor, and should Lo suppresse therefore, be 1t Resolved, That the several county attorneys of this stato be urgently reauested to begin prosecutions in their respoctive cou agiinstany and all officers, agents, soli and employesof such bowd iivestiont o pany doing, or attempting to do any business, or selling or attempting to sell “any tond, shuro or In any such compuny or ie, under provisions of section: 227 of the Oriminal ato Banking board will rende possible to such county uttorn ors In_such prosceutions, to the Ul such investment companies may be pre- vented wholly from operating in this state. Case Against Hill Appenied. ase instituted by the state against urer Hill and his bondsmen to recover the amount of the state's money lost in the failure of the Capital National bank, has been appealed to the supreme court. 1t will bo remembered that the case was insti- tuted in the district court in and for Dougias county and_that Judge Davis sustained the motion of the defendants to dismiss for lack of jurisdiction. In appealing the case to the supreme court, Judge Wakeley, the counsel for the state, alleges error on the partof the lower court as follows: g The court erred in sustaining theobjection to the Jurisdiction of the courtand motion that the court set uside void appearances on the records of said court filed by J. . Hill, ‘I'he court erred in not ruling and decid- ing that it had jurisdiction over the subject wmatter and the parties in said action. ‘The court erred in not ruling and deciding that the said action was rightly brought in Douglas county. “T'he court erred in other matters and par- ticulars in its proceediugs in the said action 1o the prejudice of the plaintiff. The plaintiff in ervor therefore prays that tho order of the lower court may be re- versed ; that the cause be remanded to the district court of Douglas county for further vroceedings therein according to law, and that it may have such further relief in' the premises as justice may require and it is.en- titled to. Gosslp t the State House. Tho case of S. H. Graves and George Mor- timer against W. V. Morse & Co. was filed with the clerk of the supreme court today. The ¢ase originated in the district court in Buffalo county. Adums county contributes a case to the supreme court docket entitled L. S. Winters against J. L. Means. cretary of State Allen has returned from a month's visit in the east. The ease of Lizzie B. Cruse against Albert Davidson was filed in the supremo court from Douglas county. The case arises from one of those unfortunate incidents in which fair maidenhood loved unwisely, but too well. Attorney P.

Wymore, while tho girl resides at Omaha, Bunting Impenchment Evidence, Chief rik Fric Johoson is making a lively search for the copy of the evidence taken by the legislative n-unnn&;tv:o which in- Codo of Nebr nd and the vestigated the cell house frauds last winter, The cony was turned over to Mr. Johuson at the close of the session. When the impeach- ment proceedings against Attorney General Hastings, Secrotary Allen and Commissioner Humphrey were commenced the copy passed into the hands of the managers of im\urm'lp ment, Portions of it were introduced in evi- dence at the impeachment trisl. In order that these extracts might be cobied, the copy was turned over to Myron Wheeler, the oficial stenographer, Mr. Wheeler copiod that portion of the copy that had been offered and returned it to the table used by the attorneys for the state. From this table it was stolen. Now Eric Johnson needs the copy in order thht it may be incorvorated in the prinfed journals of the house. The managers of iinpeachment insist that Myron Wheeler shull furnish a copy of the testi- m ny to Johuson, and Wheeler promised to do this. Ho has'been unable to find a copy. Today, bowover, hio lied a printed copy yhich'had been made by the attorneys for the defenso. Consequently the peopls who have fondly hoped that the cell house evi- dence would never be printed asa part of the house journals are doomed to disappoint- ment, . Several Contracts Awnrded. There is now a fair |lm!\k t that the new cell house will be speedily finished and made ready for occupa The State Board of Public Lands and Build‘ngs held a meeting this forenoon and openéd the bids for the completion of the structure, The bids were as follows: W.

VETERANS IN CAM First Day of the Washington County Re- anion at Arlington, AnuisatoN, Aug. 22.—[Special to Tum Bre)—The first day of the Washington county reunion was enough to dampen the ardor as well as the regalia of tho most enthusiastic Grand Army man in the coun- try. It rained during the morning. The train from Fremont arrived at 9, brivging about a score of veterans and their wives, headed by their excellent juveaile drum corps, and notwithstanding the driving rain they were escorted to quarters with drums beating and colors flying. They proved to o the very first occupants of the camp. Had the citizens of Arlington sought the country over they could not have located the reunion camp in a more beautiful or picturesque position. It is situated in the centor of a magnificent grove of youn maples that constitute tho publio park o Arlington, At 11 o'clock the train from Blair rolled in, bringing about 100 veterans. ‘1hey were housed in comfortable tents, bedded to the knees in luxuriant straw that would have turned the most exacting soldier wild with delight. The Blair delegation was accom- panied by Editor Eller of the Courier, County Treasurer Cook, County Judge Ham- ming, "ex-Sheriff Schuoeider, B. M. Wilsey, Theodore Haller, . H. Monroe and others.

Cook of Arlington in a pleasant speech officially turned over the camp to the county authorities. Adjutant Cameron then read the orders. In the absence of Colondl Mundorf Lieutenant Colonel De Temple was placed in command. In a brief speech he accepted the honors and outlined the pro- ceoding. Colonel Patrick responded to tho speech of Colonel Cook in turniug over the camp. On account of the rain_today it was de- cided to continue the meeting for three days instead of two, closing on Thursday evening. The afternoon was spent in impromptu speeches by comraaes until Colonel Tucker arrived from Valentine, Ho was received witha grand demonstration and made a brief tall, which was applauded. In the evening &' campfire was held which elicited great interest and merriment. The brignt closing of the duy gave great hope for the remaindor of tho reunion. DRIVEN TO SUICIDE, Young Churles Jankcle of West Point Could Not Bear His Family Troubles. West PoiNt, Neb., Aug. 22.—[Special Tele- gram to Tue Bre.]—Charles W. Jankele committed suicide this morning at 8 o'clock by shooting himself in the left breast. The deed was committed in the barn, from which he staggered o the kitchen door and fell. The report of the shot was heard by the neighbors, who had seen him stagger toward the house. He was breathing when picked up, but died soon after. He shot himself Jjust below the heart. The deceased was 19 years old and of ex- emplary habits. The deed was caused by family trouble. The boy’s father is a drink- ing man; his mother died a month ago, and trouble with the fathor made the boy despondent and was, it is supposed, the cause of his rash act. Young Jankele wrote the following note in a memorandum book: ‘‘Dear sister and brother; forgive me for what 1 have done; but Iam mad and think 1t better. Charles W. Jankele.” Deceased has a brother and sister living south of Bancroft who were wired. The fathor was arrested on suspicion at first, but the note left behind exoncrates him and he will be released. It is feared the father, too. will commit suicide, as his mind is in an c; ed state from drink and family troubles. Young Jankele tended bar in Drahos’ saloon until Saturday, when he was ro- leased. It was afterwards discovered that the pistol used in his selfdestruction was the property of his former employer, proving that he had meditated over his contemplated deed a considerable time. He visited his sister, Mrs. Harry DIl south of Bancroft, yesterday and it is thought with the intention of bidding her goodby. He was also scen coming from the cemetery early this morning.

The gentleman thought that in the present stringency he found an unanswerable argument in favor of “‘more woney,” and worked it for all there was in it. There was a fair attendance, bus no great deal of enthusiasm. arding His Gold, Oxp, Neb., Aug. 22.—[Special to Tug Bee.) —As illustrative of the widespread fear that the unsettled condition of affairs has created throughout the country, a citizen of Valley county who had & deposit of 5,000 in one of Ord's banks, drew 1t out iu gold and stauls guard over It at bhome, THE OMAHA DAILY NESDAY, |CONTROLLED BY THE SOUTH Important Oommittees Assigned to Members | Below Mason and Dixon's Line. WILL EMBARRASS NORTHERN DEMOCRATS Deelare that They Will Have Troubie in Explalning This Seotional Distribu- tion of Committee: the Cam-« " pnign Next Year. Wasnixerox Buneav or Trr Bes, } 513 FOURTEENTH STRERT, ‘WasniNaTon, Aug. 22 Northeastern democrats in congress are very indignant over the great disproportion of the important committees in the house which have gone to southern democrats. Every one of the principal committees, of which there are about thirty, have gone to men below Mason and Dixon’s line, with the exception of naval affairs, military affairs and banking and currency. All of the committees from which privi- leged measures emanate are controlled by southorn chairmen. so that with the com- mitteo on rules which is southern, the floor of the house can be occupied at any time by the south and the south can control all legislation before the house. The northern and western democrats feel that they have been put in an embarrassing position before their constivuents and vhat they will have a hara time explaining this sectional distribu- tion of the committees in their campaigns next year. Sonator Allen's Sitver BilL Sonator Allen is taking quite an active part in the debates before the senate on the silver and anti-banking ques- tions, The senator is opeuly — op- posed to the increaso of national ank circulation and may be counted as antagonistic to the national bank- ing system., He is actively in favor of the free coinage of sitver. H@ introduced today an amendment to the Voorhees bank circulation bill, which provides for the free and unlimited coinage of silver at the pres- ent ratio of 16to 1. Itis understood that the free silver men will centralize their efforts upon this amendment, and attempt to secure the adoption 1n advance of the bill now before the house providing for the unconditional repeal of the prescnt silver purchasing act. If the Allen amendment can be adopted it will be useless for tho house to send over an unconditional repeal measure as, of course, the senate would then reject 1t. The impression prevails, however, that all amendments to the bank circulation bill looking toward an cularged use of silver as currency will bo voted down, and that the unconditional repeal of the silver law will finally pass the senate as well as the house. Cleveland Seriously Il Prosident Cleveland’s personal friends in Washington beliove that he is suifering from a serious organic disease. There is o report, which is vouched for by two prominent dem: oc enators and a well known physician, that the vresident has Bright's disease; that a fow aays before he left for Buzzard's Bay he was examined by physicians of this city and specialists of Now York, they pronounced his trouslo Bright's diseaso of tho kidneys. A senator who spent some time with the president the day before he left here gives it as his opinion that the president has kidney affection. He says the president told him that he was “almost played out,” was really too ill to re- main here and attend to public business, and that he was altogether greatly discouraged. One of the president’s most iutimate friends outside of public life says it isdropsy and not Bright's disease. The president has not looked well for a month or more, and he has made no effort to conceal the fact that ho is easily fatigued. Senator Vest says he thinks tho trouble is Bright's diseaso and he gives it as his opiuion that the president’s condition is serious. Pickier Was Disappointed. Representative Pickler of South Dakota 1s disappointed over the action of Speaker risp in leaving him off tue committee on public lands, as ho has a great many proposi- tions relating to South Dakota land intevests which will come beforo that _committee, and he has tuken a keen interest in the work which the committee has been considering during the past four years. He, however, 1s upon Indian affairs and one or two other good committees where he can serve the interests of his constituents divectly, and it is probablo that he will yet be placed upon public lands also. Miscellaneous. Postmasters were today apppinted for South Dakota as follows: Minnchaha, Fall River county, J. M. Brady, vice B. F. Cash, resigned; Turley, Sully 'county, Hermau Landaw, vice A. G. Benedict, removed. Willisn Mokring of Dubuque, Ia., is at the Howard. Leave of absence for four months, to take effect October is granted Second Lieu- tenant Charles French, Twenty-fifth infantry. Leavo for_fifteen days, to take effect Sep- tember 7, is granted First Lieutenant Franklin 0. Johnson, Third cavalry. Senator Shoup iatroduced a bill today ap- propriating $10,000 for the payment of Shawnee Indian spoliation claims. It is un- derstood that the money will go to Indians in ldaho. Periy S.

There was u lengthy meeting of the ex- ecutive committeo of taxpayers of South Omaha at the ofico of John A. Doe last ovening. Aftera long and rather rambling discussion, In which the eity fathers came in for a largo share of indignant language, o committee, consisting of J. J. Breen, 5. P. Brigham, Josoph Sipe and Ed Johnson, was appointed 10 reviso the Johnson report and report at & meeting to be held in Mr. Johu- G uesday night, August 29, wiker Hold Up, “Throw up your hands!” was the demind made to Mayor Walker and John Sniveley, the city garbage master, at the corner of wentieth street and Missouri avenue at i o'clock yesterday morning, The two wen were on their way home and reached the point where they wore to sepas rate. They stopped for a fow moments’ con- vorsation and sa% down upon tho sidewalk, Bob Parks came along about this time on his way -home and taking the two mon for footpads did mot propose to take the worst end of the bargain. When he demanded them to throw up their dupes the mayor said. am Mayor Walker.” “Not by a d— sight you ain’t,” said Parks. Then the mayor ordéred Sniveley to arrest Parks. suiveley walked over to him with his hair ated at a perpendicular anglo and slap- ping his hand on Parks’ shoulder placed him arrest. The men recognized each and Parks said nhe would go, although ot consider it necessary to lock him up for simply making a mistake, With the mayor on one side and Sniveley on the other, Parks was started for jail. They had only walked a short distance when the mayor let loose and walked on ahead, Suiveley, also let go his hold, thinking Parks would ‘walk along without being held. But in this he was mistaken, for as soon as he let go Parks broke and ranand got away. Sniveley fired several shots in the air but Parks did uot stop run- ni until he reached home. The mayor went down to the station and swore out a warraut for Parks' arrest and placing it in the bauds of a regular policeman sent him out and a8 o'clock Parks was brought in and locked up. After wyestigating the case Judge Fowler discharged Parks and considers that the fellow was about as badly frightened a man as he ever saw. Expeusive for Mr. Andrews. When Gasman & Dudley, the. defunct commission firm, falled, they caused many a wail to go up, according to all reports, H. B. Andrews of Anselmo, Custer county, was in the city today looking up a little matter which will cost him aun even $1,600 on ac- | couat of this failure. Mr. Andrews says BEE: WER thatin April he gare; Gasman & Dudley & note and mortgage for $1.600, which was to_come due {n Jl§. In June he sold his cattle, and, bein#''th the oity, he thought he might as well take up the note. Ho went to the firm and paid them the amount in full. Gasman & Dudley said they would mail the note to i, and Mr. Androws never thought any more’ About the matter until he read in ThR Brrthat tho firm had failed. He then asked his wife if sthe note had over been forwarded and discovered that it had not. An Invostigation fotlowed, and now Mr. Androws is, faced with a do- mand to again put up hi £1,600. Ho has re- tained an attorney in ‘this city and may bring;an action against the firm forem bozale- ment. Gasman & Dudley oxplain that the rea- son they did nots take up the nots at the time it was naid_was because it was not due and they merely wanted the use of the money until such time as the paper maturod, but the crash came in the meantime and they were compelled to closo their doors. Row at the Camp Meoting. There was much excitement at the camp meeoting Monday night. During the services a gang of men got Into a row and were dis- turbing the proceedings when Captain Aus tin and Officors Argabright and Larson put in an appearance and arrested three men. Mayor Walker was along with the !;%llcn and assisted in running the men in. o disturbers were drinking and the ap- vearance of the police attracted so much at- tention that the meeting was practically broken up. At the station the men gave the names of James Laureston, W. Hicks and Charles Stammer. The former was fined $10 and costs and the two latter § and costs each, The persons who attend these meetings with the intention of making light of them or creating a disturbance had better stay away for the police will lock up every man who does not behave himself gentlemanly while on the grounds.

He is proud of his uniform, and is moro than willing to give up his striped blanket and bear the tag. It may be unnecessary for me to tell you any of these things, but Tdo not know that you have seen the Indian as a soldier. You know of what he is capable, and I have learned thav he can become a good man, a good citizen, a good Christian, if the proper steps are taken to aid him to this plane of living. The army provides for him proper food and compels him 1o be v r in all his habits, A proper diet and certain regula- tions in regard to his personal cleanliness are two very imporwnt steps which the army affords for the civilization of the Indian. In this first step toward civilization he gains a certain amount of self-respect and a desire to be more like the good white man. Asa soldier he is obedient to the minutest detail. ““Mr, Seay, the commanding ofticer of this | company, is thoroughly fitted for his posi tion. If the commanding oficers of the other Indian companies were as thoroughly devoted to their work and to the cultivati of the individual mon of their companies as Lieutenant Seay L am sure there would be no orders from headquarters to discharge Indian companies. There was an attempt maae last winter, by some man who claims to be a missionary among the Indians in South Dakota, to secure tho discharge of certain Indisns in company I A petition was sent to headquarterg by members of the company who never saw the petition, When the matter was made known to the men whose names were signed to this paper, thoy all said they waated to remain 1 the army and knew nothing of such a petition. Fire Water and the Braves. “‘Intemperance is not more common among tho Indians than among the whites. Iam confident that if the companics now enlisted are given tho same amount of drill and ndi- vidual training as the white man_there can be no question as to_the rosult. Tho Indian wants to become civilized, nnd I foel that there is no better way to civilize tho Indian than by making a soidier of him. If theso men are turned back toroam about their reservation they will become discontented, aud thero is no tolling what may result from such a measuro,” ral Brooke on the Subjeot. General Brooko was shown the above let- ter yesterday, and expressed himself freely on the subject of tho Indian enlistment ex- periment. “Thero is no doubt,” said thogeneral, “‘that Mr. Boecher is right, in the main. So faras my experience with Iudians as sol diers has gone, it has been perfectly sati: factory, and there are five companies of them {n my department. As to the success of the oxperiment So far as it has beex carried, there is little to_say, for the Indians have hardly had a chance'to show what they are good for, for their racial traditions are not things that can be broken down all at once, Again, the Indian is in- clined to bo supersensitive to_criticism and is disinclined to make use of his knowledge of Englisn for fear he will make a mistuke, especially in giving o ~ommand, where ho happens to be a noucommissioned officer, As to their future, I have a good deal of hope, and believe much advancement will be mado by them. ““T'his discussion about their disbandment is due largely to discharges of men found ineligible after serving some time; that is, men who, upon enlistment, statcd that they were unmarried, and were afterwards found to be married ‘men, This has been the cause of the depletion of number of Indian companies.” “There is no indication that the War department contemplates any such step as the disoandment of Indian soldicrs, and I look upon it as being more gossip than any- thing else, due 1o the fact just stated.” ke 2 AR ] HEARD WITH REJUICING, Cle nd's Proolamstion Oponing the Cher- okee Strip Gleefully Recelved, ARkANsAS CiTy, Kan., Aug. 22.—The presi- dent's proclamation opening the Cherokeo Strip to settlement was received here by hoomers and citizens alike with great rejoic- ng. A big demonstration was mado tonight. It consisted of a parade composed of the militia, boomers, prairie schooners, mounted men and men on foot headed by a brass band. Bonfires blazed all along the line of the Strip, and in many places in the oity, and some of the prospective settlers oven went to the expense of seuting off ‘fireworks 1n honor of the occasion. The boomers are all busily engaged in getting thelr horses into training for the run. Inthe cool of the evening the broad macadamized roads leading from Walnut river and from the Arkansas river are im- provised race tracks. They run races and heats, train their horses to jump and make them swim the river. Sometimes hundreds of horses are out at once. Many will make the run in buckboards and sulkies, the latter built heavy and strong o withstand the jolting over the p '8, These will be hitched to rununing horses which are especially adapted to making long steady race in good time. The vehic of the boomers are excellent of their kind and most of them look new, Now tpat the day for the opening has been officially*proclaimed it is probable that the boomers will flock to the line by thousands ana that the final rush for homes will equal that made when Oklahoma was given over to the people. RIME IN HIGH PLACES not strange that some people do wrong through ignorance, others from a failure to invesligate as to the rightor 1 18 wrong of a matter. But it is strange, that individuals and firms, who are fully aware of the rights of others, will per- sist in perpetrating frauds upon them. High-toned, wealthy manufreturing firms will offer and sell to retail mer- chants, articles which they know to be infringements on the rights of proprie- tors, and imitations of well known goods. We want to sound a note of warning to the retailers to beware of such imita- tions aud simulations of “CARTER’S LIT- TLE LIVER PILLS.” When they are of- fered to you, refuse them; you do not waunt to do wrong, and you don’t want to lay yourself lisble to & lawsuit.
