AR R POORER INSTEAD OF RICHER Beveral Local Grain Bpeculators Left in a Hole Deep atd Dark, HAWKEYE COMMISSION CCMPANY FAILS OfMcers Skip Out with the Money o Patrons—Thought to Have B . Bucket Shop Affaie—Ono Loser Brings Suit, On Tuesday evening after the big bulge dn corn a hundred local speculators, more or Jess, went to their with visions of wealth before thelr eyes, but that pleasant prospect vanished yesterday, together the Hawkeye Commission company. Was carrying the t Yesterday morning the heads of the firm failed to show up, but as the clerks and tele- graph operators were in thelr places noth- 4ng was thought about the matter until later n the day, when it became noised about that the company was in trouble. Then com- enced a search for the manager and of ficers of the company, but they could not be Jocated. One of the employes of the firm gave it as his opinfon that they were hiding in the city, but another thought they had Jeft the city. Mrs. Booge left for Sioux City Muesday evening and that gave rise to the gumor that Mr. Booge had gone there to es- 2ape his creditors All sorts of wild rumors were floating “about as to the extent of the losses of the company’s patrons. At South Omaha it was glaimed that speculators who had been trad- ng_with the company had profits to their redit that would amount to at least $100,- 0. One stock dealer was said to have won 14,000, but these stories are pronounced Rbsurd by an employe, who says that $10,- 000 wouid cover its South Omaha business. {n addition to its Omaha and South Omaha usiness the company had branches at Fre- fnont, Columbus and other points and the country has been a heavy buyer of corn everal prominent stockmen are sald to be eavy losers by the failure, but at the pres- ent time it is a dificult matter to get any reliable statement of the amounts The Hawkeye Commission company came %o Omaha a year ago last January and opened up elegant offices on the first floor of the New York Life building. The officers of the company were D. D. Frazee, president; H. D. Booge, vice president; James F. Booge, secretary and treasurer. They came here from Sioux City and gave good references, among them Ed Haakinson & Co., the Sioux ity packers, and the Iowa State National ank. About a year ago the company opened a branch at South Omaha, where it worked up & large business, especially since the drouth became so severe. The stockmen doing usiness at that point have excellent oppor- unities for keeping posted on the crops of the country and they were among the first to discover the extent of the damage to the corn crop and commenced buying freely gome days ago. A good many of those who were caught by the company are inclined to Keep quiet about the matter, as they regard it in the light of a gambling deal and do not Jike to make public the fact that they were foolish enough to be caught in a game of that kind. SUIT FOR SEVEN THOUSAND. According to a petition that was filed in Fsmct court yesterday Christopher I M homes with which euman is one of the men who have had heir golden visions of wealth consequ on the boom in the corn market dissipated by the closing of the office of the Hawkeye ‘Commission company. He alieges that about ‘August 1 he deposited §500 with the company fo be used in margins on prospective pur- hases of corn. During the succeeding week e ordered the firm to purchase seven 10,000« pbushel lots of corn, which It did at prices fanging from 423 to 52 cents. On Aug- st 8 he directed the firm to.close out his oldings at G3% cents. He avers that by * ghese proceedings he should have recefved 7,000 from the firm, which it has refused to ay. it is generally thought that the company was doing what is known as a bucket shop uginess, that is, the company carried the rades itself, insicad of placing the orders on the Board of Trade of Chicago. Under this ethod of doing business a man who buys ain_in a bucket shop buys it at the price on he blackboard, which Is supposed to repre ent the Chicago market. The partles oper- pting the bucket shop charge the uyer a commission for doing his usiness, which is a clear profit. The uyer puts up a small margin to secure the rade. If the market advances the party ho bought may close out his trade at any ime at the price indicated on the board and he bucket shop man will pay the buyer his rofit, which is a loss to the bucket shop. f the market should decline below the point govered by the margin and the buyer does mot care to put up any more margin the bucket shop closes out the deal and puts the argin in its pocket, the buyer being the oser. It Is a hard game to beat, as the com- ission charged glves the bucket shop an advantage which the buyer can seldom overcome in the long run. Bucket shop men have a way of hedging, s they call it, by placing trades on the hicago Board of Trade. Thus {f a bucket hop operator finds that all his patrons are uying, for example, and he Is afrald that o market will advance and cause him a oss, he can protect himself by buying in hicago enough to cover the purchases of his ustomers. It happens, however, quite fre- fuently that the bucket shop s not so pro- ected, or tho temptation to keep money in and proves too great, and the bucket shop alls, that s, the operator leaves town and meglects to pay his customers their win- ninas. FREMONT, Aug. 8.—(Special to The Bee.) ~Considerable excitement was noticed on the streets (his afternoon in consequence of the Monappearance of L. B. Coman, manager of the Hawkeye stock and grain commis establishment, which has been doing a of a bucket shop business for the past few months. At 11 o'clock this morning Coman yeported corn down and left the place, Bnd some speculators with balances due them think they are also left SIOUX CITY, Aug. 8.—(Special Telegram o The Boe)—Monaghan & Co., commission rokers here, were caught on corn and sus- nded today. Monaghan has left the city nd the extent of the firm's losses cannot be earned, but so far over $7,000 of claims pgainst the firm have turned up, while losses ;mounllnx to three times as much were ald yesterday. ——— A dozen raw with a bottle of Cook's Extra Dry Imperial Champagne is an after theater thought. e Flshing and bathing, Courtland beach.

Wil Go Back to Colorado Penitontinry—His Oporations in Omaha, Chicago police have captured another Omaha crook in the person of Jim Stratton, one of the toughest of a gang of burglars and thugs that infested this city several years ago. The Boston store was burglarized in May, 1880. The safe was cracked and $1,400 in cash taken. The thieves also sccured nearly $1,000 worth of dress goods and silks. Cap- tain Mostyn and Sergeant Tom Ormsby were detailed to work on the case and secured cvidence that the job was done by Frank Bruce and Jim Stratton., The men kept very low for some time, but were finally lo- cated by Ormsby, who met them on Farnam street about 8 ‘o'clock on the morning of August 6, 1890. Ormsby told the men to consider themselves under arrest and then the fun began. Both men drew revolvers and threatened to shoot the officer’s head off it he did not let them go. Ormsby siez Bruce and hud a desperate struggle. St ton got aw but Bruce was finally cap- tured. He was bound over to the district court in $2,000 bonds, which he forfeited. He and Stratton met afterwards and or- ganized the gang of criminals that worked in Colorado for some time, committing a number of burglaries in Denver. Stratton was arrested and sentenced to twenty-one years in the pen at Canon City, but broke jull soon afterwards. He was sent up for robbing a postofice and the federal au- thorities offered a reward of $600 for his capture. Bruce was arrested some time ago for robbing a safe at Terre Haute, Ind., and i now doing a term of eleven years in the penitentiary in that state. —————— Oregon Kidney Tea cures nervous head- aches.

Barfoot, a merchant of Bennington, has declded to inaugurate a crusade against the peddiers who infest the country towns and dispose of worthless goods to the peo- ple to the prejudice of the trade of the regu- lar merchants, There is a state law by which a yearly license of §30 Is assessed against this class of hucksters, but until the present time it has never been enforced In this county. Mr. Barfoot proposes to see that the law does not remain a dead letter 1y longer, He came into the office of the county clerk yesterday afternoon and planked down’ $30 for a license to peddle merchan- dise throughout the county. Armed with this license, he intends to start out a man on the road himself and every time a peddler is found without a license he will have him arrested for violation of the state law. This is the first time a license of this kind has been Issued since County Clerk Sackett has been in office, but it Mr. Barfoot has good luck there will be a decided boom in this class of licenses or else a thinning out of the peddlers who come under the operation ok the law. —— Oregon Kidney Tea cures backache. 5 cents.

INJUNCTION PROCEEDINGS INSTITUTED tory of the Trouble Which Has Caused ny @ Month—All Re- Intes to Finunces of the Soclety —Specific Charg Discord for The internecine warfare that has been rag- ing between the disjointed faction of St. Paul's Polish Catholic church has been carried into the district court and seventy-five mem- bers of the church have petitioned the court to take a hand by granting an injunction re- straining Bishop Scannell, Vicar General Chioka and others from further presuming to dictate as to the conduct of the financial affairs of the organization. The petition in the case, which was filed yesterday afternoon, is a bulky document, and recites at length the grievances of the members, who assert that they have been the victims of a systematic course of fraud- ulent dealings on the part of the bishop and his subordinates. According to their story, the heads of the diocese have systematically robbed them of their church property, and, after inducing them to contribute the nece sary funds to erect a church edifice, have cooly taken the building into their possession and” mortgaged it to still further increase the balance on their ledger. According to the story as told by the pe- titioners, the church soclety was organized In 1889, and soon after the trusteces of the society were authorized to purchase sufficient land for the erection of a building. Acting on these instructions, John Kowalenskl August Krakawski and Joseph Cich pur- chased of the Byron Reed company lots 14, 15 and 16, in block 2, Summit addition, for a consideration of $2,800. Of this amount $1,000 was paid In cash and the remainder secured by the personal notes of the trust Soon after the remainder of the money raised, the notes were taken up and the trustees received the deed of the property. The petitioners go on to state that in February, 1891, there no bishop for the diocese owing to the death of the former bent, and the duties of the bishopric were performed by Vicar General Choka. At that time the viear general refused to provide them with a priest unless the entire property was first deeded to him. The con- gregation found it impossible to get along without a spiritual adviser and finally were compelled to accede to the demands of thelr superior. They deeded him the property, and they now insist that this was by false and fraudulent representations on his part and by the abuse of the power of his official position. After obtaining the deed the vicar general sent Father Tadensz Jakoimowiscz to minis- ter unto thelr spiritual wants and with the injunction to erect a church building upon tho property. At this tho soclety raised $12,000, which was turned over to Father Jakoimowiscz, and a building committee of seven members of (he congregation was ap- pointed to look after the erection of the building. But according to their story this committee was entirely ignored by the higher powers of the church. Bishop Scannell took charge of the building in person and finally removed the old committee and appointed a new one, which was composed of ignorant men who were simply tools of Father Jakoimowlsc: This committee, consisting of Thomas Travick and Nicholas Chereck, subsequently made a report to the congregation of the work that had been done and the disposal of the mouey. The petitioners claim (hat this report was dictated by the priest and that it was false and fraudulent from beginning to end. They assert that the report showed that a defi- ciency of $5,000 had been incurred above the $12,000 originally contribu'ed, while the en- tire cost of the building had not been over 000. Acting under these representations, the trustees were induced to give their personal notes to cover the alleged deficiency and then the priests proceeded to appropriate the whole property. Bishop Scannell and the vicar general, with Jakoimowiscz, Trav- jck and Chereck, incorporated themselves as the Polish Church society, and, under the direction of the bishop, Choka conveyed the entire property to the new organization. They then mortgaged the property to the Nebraska Savings and Exchange bank of Omaha for §5,000, and Father Jakoimowiscz left for parts unknown. Father Apolonfus Tyszke was then sent down as the spiritual adviser of the parish and appeared to be as much under the direction of the bishop as his predecessor. After reciting all this ccclesiastical his- tory, the petitioners asked the court to grant an injunction restraining the bishop and the vicar general, with their subordinates, from further interfering with the affairs of the church and from exeguting the mort- gage In favor of the bank. They also ask that the deed to the vicar general be de- clared vold as obtained by fraudulent repre sentations, and that the bank be enjoincd from foreclosing the mortgage given by the Dishop's men. Judge Scott granted a tem- porary restraining order, to continue in force until such time as the facts could be venti- lated in court.

Some members of the committee complained that they had not been consulted in making up the report, and after all had had their say It was decided to let the whole matter stand for a while, and a committee of two, consisting of W.

CORDIAL: WELCOME TO DR, ERNANDER First Lossons of Freedom Learned In Father- Iand Make Th Better American Cltizens—Reception Closes with A Banqust, The Swedish-American Republican club tendered a reception and banquet to Dr. John A. Ernander, ex-minfster to Denmark and a recent citizen of Chicago, who has come to Omaha as the editcr of the Swedish Journal-Tribune. The reception took place | in Patterson hall, and was largely attended After one or two selections Prof. Wallerstedt, A. G. troduced. He delivered a come to Dr. Ernander. In the courss of his remarks Mr. Dalstron alluded to the fact that he came to Omaha in 1867, when there were but a few hundred Swedes here. He traced the rise and prosperity of the city and spoke of the achievements of the Swed- ish citizens. He hoped that the Swedisit cit'zens of Omaha would unite in giving Mr. Ernander their hearty co-operation and sup- port. City Comptreller Olsen contributed a few words to the address of welcome. He was proud of the success of the Swedes, Nor- weglans and Danes in this country. He hoped these people would always feel a pride in the land of their birth, as well as in the land of their adoption. In the mother country they learned their first lessons in freedom, industry, “honesty and frugelity They brought these principles with them to this country, and this made them better ens, Ex-Councilman Steel spoke a few words of welcome, and alluded to the unswerving fidelity of the Norwegian people to the re- publican party. He severely arraigned the democratic party as being responsible for the present misfortunes of the country, and was proud of the fact that the Swedes had not assisted t party into power. Prof. Frank Nelson of Lindsborg, was also one of the speakers. The Swedish- Americans, he said, were a liberty loving people because they learned the principles of liberty in their fatherland. Naturally they cast their political fortunes with the republican party, because that party stood for freedom, truth and right, and he was proud to declare that among all the recent riotous disturbances he could scarch in vain for a single Swede that carrfed in his hand the red flag and the torch of anarchy. Dr. Ernander responded briefly and elo- quently to the warm words of welcome that had been addressed to him. He modestly disclaimed the unusual ability that had been ascribed to him by the speakerscof the even- ing, but promised to lend all his efforts to the advancement of the prosperity not only of the Swedish-Americans, but of the entirc people of Omaha. While disclaiming any intention of making a political speech, Dr. Ernander said that the present distressing condition of the country was largely the r sult of the elevation of the democratic party to power. He predicted that prosperity would return when the republican party again con- trolled the government, but he advised his hearers not to expect immediate recovery with republican success. He said the dam- age had been of too great a nature to enabie the country to recover at once, but he be lieved that prosperity would gradually dawn upon the country and increase until the en- tire nation enjoyed the same prosperity that it enjoyed for o many years under repub- lican rule. At the close of the reception the party adjourned to the Commercial club rooms, where a banquet was given in honor of the guest of the evening. They Want M: Coll.

MacColl for governor, Sentiment was known to be gencral in favor of the resolution, and when put te tho house it was unanimously and enthusiastically adopted A discussion that grew into large propor- tions was precipitated by a motion declaring it to be the sense of the club that no caucus be held this year. A few hot personalities were interjected. Mr. Blackburn supported this resolution. Charles Unitt spoke against it, believing the county central committee to have instituted the proper methods. Mr. Phil B. Winter made an argument in favor of the caucus on general principles. The sentiment of the club was in favor of the present sys‘em. Speeches were made by Mr. Willlams, Mr. John Lewis, M.
