Pepper & Co, Jeaving no doubt thal they were written by the same person. In precisely the same man- ner abont the same time he cashed a check at a bank at Yale, Mich, and again at a bank at Bad Axe, Mich, At Yalc he assumed the name of Nathan A. Mevers, and at Bad Axe the name of Bergman. Inquiry soen de- veloped that the firm of H. O. Pepper & Co. a1 not exist, but the well known liquor firm of James B. Pepper & Co. fs located at Lexington, Ky. The forger had gone to the expenso of having letter heads and envelopes printed, bearing the card of H. O. Pepper & Co. In order to make his work appear genuine. From the Lexington, Ky., bank it was learned that.banks in Indlana and Ten- nessee had been victimized In the same man- ner, unquestionably by the same man, about a year previously, by cashing checks signed M. P. Headly & Co., the handwriting in all cases being identical. In the latter part of April a bank at Cum- mings, N. D., received a letter from son & Co., wholesale liquor dealers, St. Paul, Minn., stating they had mailed a check for $85 to their representative, George B. Hyman, and enclosed a small £lp of paper bearing the signature of George B. Hyman. Hyman appeared, presented this check and got the money, and about the same time a bank at Forrest River, N. D., was swindled in like manner. At this latter bank the forger ap- peared under the name of Herman Bergman. Bergman also passed a forged check on a St. Paul bank shortly afterward. Mr. J. B. D. Odell, president of the Amer- fean Bankers' asssclation, was advised of these Dakota forgeries, and Mr. Willlam A. Pinker- ton made renewed efforts to ascertain if the work was similar to that done in Michigan, Indiana and Tennessee. It was learncd that there was no such firm in St. Paul as Eriesson & Co., but there Is a_reputable firm called Erlesson, Brady & Co. Examination of the work left no room for doubt that it was the same man that operated in Michigan. Mr. Odell requested that a circular letter be ' prepared setting forth the methods of the forger., which was done, and all members of the American Bankers assoclation were warned to be on the lookout for him. The circular described the man and method of his operations and contained a specimen of his handwriting. BEGAN WORK IN NEBRASKA. Nothing further was heard of the forger until about July 1, when the agency received word from the First State bank of Arapahoe stating that the man referred to in the circular would no doubt appear there as it had received a letter purporting to be from H. J. Gehner & Co., wholesale diquor dealers of 8t. Loufs, advising it of the mailing of a check for $85 to their traveling representa- tive, Mr. Oscar Silverman. The bank promised him a warm reception on his arrival, and later in the day Mr. Pinkerton received a telegram announcing his arrest. He was taken the same afternoon to Cam- bridge, at which place he had succeeded in having a check cashed under the name of David S. Berman. It was learned that he had mailed letters to himself, under different names, and to banks at Culbertson, McCook, Bartley, Indianola, Oxford, Cambridge, and Arapahoe, all points on the B. & M. raflway. He was successful at McCook and Cambridge and probably would have reduced the bank’s surplus at the other places had it not been for the activity of Banker Frost of Bartley, who had received one of these letters and scented a fraud. He drove to Indianola and learned that the bank there had also received a similar letter, worded exactly the same except a change in the name of the traveling repreentative, From there he drove to Me- Cook, thence to Cambridge, reaching the latter place a little too late to warn the bank or intercept the forger who had al- ready started toward Arapahoe with a fresh team. Frost communicated with Arapahoe by telegram and the man was placed in custody. The Arapahoe banks were on their guard by the circular letter sent out to them by the American Bankers association and when they received the message from Cambridge they sent for the chief and the forger was arrested at once. He was taken back to Cambridge and at the hearing before a jus- tice, his bonds were placed at $2,500. ~He made a strong plea to have his bail reduced and being successful in that. said that he was ready to plead guilty, which he did. He was immediately taken before District Judge Welty, pleaded gullty, and was given five years in the penitentiary and a fine of $100 and costs, and was on his way to the peni- tentiary within twenty-four hours after his arrest. At McCook and Cambridge he had induced the hotel keepers to cash a check for $85, but he refunded the money to each after his arrest. % REAL NAME IS SEIFFERT. r. Pinkerton considered it very significant that this man should at once pleag uilty and 0 to the penitent'ary without making a fight and concluded to investigate this matter very closely, as It was apparent the man wanted to drop out of sight, even If by doing so he went to the penitentiary. His record was at once looked up, and it was found that his real name is Louls Seiffert, that he is married and that his parents reside in New York City. His wife is at present visitng her people in Pittsburg, Pa. She is the ne'ce of a very wealthy distiller in that city and his parents reside in New York and are very respectable people. He Is a native of New York City, but has lived In Pittsburg for the past five years, being employed by Kauftman Bros., at one time conducting the drug department of their store. He Is sald to have been in the em- ploy of Havemeyer, the New York sugar mer- chant, at a salary of $4,500 per annum. As soon as he got into the penitentiary he com- municated with h's people, and strenuous ef- forts huve been made since for his release. elther on a technicality in the commitment or by habeas corpus proceedings. Eminent counsel has been engaged for him and every effort possible will evidently b: made to effect his release or pardon. Only a few days after bis arrival In the penitentiary Mr. A. M. Levy, a well known and respected traveling salesman for a Boston hat firm, vis'ted Belffert and retained Judge Broady of Lincoln to look after Selffert's ‘nterests and to en- deavor to find some legal loophole through which he might be liberated from the peni- tentiary.

Dr. Robert L. Wheeler, preached to a large congregation Hig topic was 0ld Letters.'In briet Dr. Wheeler aid: I feel a teuch of kinship with the man who wrote “Dlessed Be Letters.”” What quict inoffensive possessions they are and yet what potentialities are wrapped up within them. How they subdue, exalt, admonich, wound end bless us. A package of old let- ters are in the treasure houses of most ue. To cromate them would he sacrilege. They speak to us out of tie old dead past. Witli the fmmortal faces and voices that can 1ot be hushed they are the pivotal points on which swings destiny, the transiiguration peaks from which we see a better tomor- 10w, ladders of ascent toward God. To write letters and leave some record of our thoughts of hope, love or conquest is an idca as old as humanity. The old Inscriptions tuken from the tower of Babel tell the story of a people upon whom a curse had been pronounced and of all compensating law that although cureed, they built up the two first great empires and clivilizations. They founded Babylon and pt. They left the tower of Babel unfinished, but made them- selves brilliant in the finished pyrimids and left us a whole library of leiters which have been speaking to man through all the turies of the lnmortality of truth. The literati left us witness of their times. From the clay tablet we read of the glory of Babylon and Nebuchadnezzar, and on the shields of the sixty-six kings. From the tombs of the pyramids we read history older than Moses, These old letters on fac arrow head, clay tablet, papyrus and parch- ment make history, and history builds faith's foundations. Jesus Christ wrote no books. search the holy letters and read every out- line of His character, His mission and death, drawn centuries befose. Abraham stands for that class of men who westward push the star of empire. “Jacob was the head of a new and better spiritual dynasty, Moses the civie reformer, Deborah the new woman of her day, Hagar the -man deceived but God- pitizd one. Oh, all the humanities ure wrapped in the old letters which were “written that you might believe.” Away back there some one trod in your path and carried that very same cross= Those that conquered did £o by the same faith I the same God; and they who went down in the fight did so becaus: of unbelief, just a some of you will. He bade men for Threatening to Shoot. Frank Peterson, a bartender at Hydock's saloon on Railroad avenue, is in jail for threatening to shoot Chris Hughes. The men were at an evil resort and there quarreled. Peterson pulled a_revolver and threatened to shoot Hughes. The latter ran. He did not stop untl the city jail was reached, where he told his troubles to a policeman. Both men were drunk.

For over seventeen veurs the grave of Gen- eral Jotin O'Nelll in Holy Sepulcher cemetery in Omaha remained unmarked, By many this was regarded 43 a reflaction on the patriotism ot surviving friends, admirers and associates in the movement for the betterment of his countrymen. But his memory was forgotten, nor was hiz grave neglected. Some time ago friends of the deceased in Omaha inaugurated a fand to procure a monument {n all resp worthy of h's memory, and with the assist- ance of outside admirers thelr efforts were recently crowned with success. The monument stands at the head of the grave on the northern crest of the cemetery hill. 7Whe locat'on is a sightly one. To the east and north miles of the city's suburbs are within range of the vision. South and west (he eye may sweep the Papplo valley and the valleys and uplands beyond. The monument is a square column of polished granite, fifteen feet high, resting on two ter- raced blotks of granite, and beneath I8 a four-foot foundation of cemented stone. The capstone is cruciform. On the four squares are emblematic designs—the open hand, the Ir'sh harp, the American eagle and stars. Around these shamrucks twine. On the main base the name “O'N is carved in raised letters, and on the front of the monument is the following inscription: GENERAL JOHN O'NEILL. Hero of Ridgeway March 9, 1834, , 1838, 1y Nature a Brave Man, By Principle a soldier of ¥ He Fought with Adapted Country Ready to Draw for His Native Distinction for His and, Was Ever His Sword Land. I To Perpetuate Uis Memory This Mon- ¢ i ument Was_Erected by the Irish Nationalists, GOD SAVE IRE The lot is surrounded with a granite cop:ng. GENERAL O'NEILL'S CAREER. General O'Neill achieved distinction in_the unfon army during the war. At the breaking out of the rebellion he was sergeant major of the First cavalry, having joined the army in 1857. He served with McClellan in the Penin- sula’ campaign, and had a horse shot under him at the battle of Gaines' mill. Later he joined the Fifth Indiana cavalry, serving in Kentucky, Indiana and Ohio, and for gal- lantry in the famous Morgan rald was com- wissioned first lieutenant, and later rose to the rank of captain. Troublesome wounds forced him to retire from the army in 1864. After the war, ——, with thousands of his countrymen who had just laid down their arms, General O'Neill rall'ed around the Fenfan standard, and,was chosen one of the leaders of the projectéd raid on Canada. The movement crystallized in the early summer of 1866, and rendezyoused on the American border from Buffalo to Ogdensburg. General O'Nefll commanded the first detachment of the raiders to set foot on Canadian soil. They crossed - Niagara river near Buffalo, to the number of 600, and captured Fort Erie on June 1. The day follow'ng they met the British troops near Ridgeway, a dozen miles north of Fort Erie. There were three Brit- ishers to one Fenian, but the disparity in numbers did not prevent them coming to- gether. Some sharp flghting was had, cul- minating in the rout of the British. O'Neill did not reccive the support expected, in fact the movement was without & governing heul on the American side, and was forced to re- tire in a few days from Canada. Arrest fol- lowed and the raid collapsed. General O'Neill is best remembered in Ne- braska for his efforts in colonizing the state. More enduring than granite is the prosperous and progressive city in Holt county which he founded and which bears his name. The best efforts of his later years were In the interest of the peace and prosperity of h's countrymen. . He labored zealously to draw them from the crowded cities to fertile lands, then to be had for the asking. Many acted on his adyice and struggled through the hard- ships incident to ploneer farming. Scores of those pioneers are today rich in the world's goods, the ripened fruit of their energies di- rected by General John O'Nelll. B BOHEMIANS ON AN CURSION. Tarner S ety and Friends Take o Dn Out at West oint. It was twenty minutes to 9-Sunday morn- ing when the Bohemian Gymnastic assoc'a- tion excursion left the Webster street sta- tion. There were seven coaches full of as Jolly a crew as ever nibbled a pretzel. Every- body smoked, except the women, who looked on and smiled. West Point was reached at 12 o'clock. A delegation of the West Point Bohemian society met the excursionists at the depot, and with the local band in the lead the turners paraded through the town. There was red, white and blue bunting galore and nearly every store front extended a welcome. The plenic grounds, Dbeautifully located upon the banks of the Elkhorn river, were reached after a march of half an hour, and the festivities of the day were in order. After the Fort Omaha band had played Sousa marches, Strauss waltzes and anything Clse it wanted to, several kegs of West Point beer were tapped and pronounced prime, and then the trouble began. The first event of the day was a redhot, base ball match, between the Metz Bros. nine of Omaha and the West Pointers. The match ended in favor of the former With a score of 17 to 22, Over on the picnic grounds the Fort band rendered an excellent program and I'berally interspersed it with dance music, to-which the village maids and escorts, together with the strangers, chased the summer afternoon away. At 3 o'clock the Bohemian gymnasts, with the help of the Danish Turner associa- tion, gave an exhibition on the vaulting horse and parallel bars that was the feature of the afternoon. Both associations are in training for a contest that is to take place at Ruser's park during the state fair, and are in fine form. Many small excursions were made to the backwater above the milldam. where some fished, others swam and the rest d'd nothing at all. All points of interest in the pretty town were visited and the waving green flelds of corn surrounding came In for no small amount of admiration. About 8§ o'clock, when the pleasures of the day began to lag, the wanderers once more congregated and the train sped homeward, reaching the Webster street depot at 11:30. The excursion was a success and will be repeated next year. A ANNOUNCEMENTS, Viola Allen, for the past three seasons lead- ing lady in Charles Frohman's Empire Theater Stock company, Is declared by Alan Dale to be “by far the best leading lady In America.”” This statement, coming as It does, from New York's most careful and consclentious eritic, I praise of no mean value, as It stamps Miss Allen as an artist of extraordinary, histrionic ability, which coupled with a charming personality and exceeding gracefulness, has made her the greatest favorite throughout the country. The Empire Theater Stock company opens the Creighton theater Thureday, August 22, with “The Masqueraders,” repeating the rame program Friday night. “Liberty Hall" is the Saturday matinee bill, the engagement Slosing, Saturday night with “Sowing the Wind." mrachute Let Her Down Too Fast.

Found Wron, in Most Reputable Places. “If ;any one thinks that it is a waste of time to go around lookfng after weights and measures he ought to foflow me around just one day,” sald Inspectqr, White, as he handed in his monthly reporfidne day last week. “Ordinary citizens have no ldea how closely nearly all business éhtablishments will bear watehing in this respect. It fs not that Jdealers generally are dishonest. Most of them are much surpfised, when they are in- formed that thelr meistres are out of order and are as anxious ‘ss their customers to have the trouble rectified. But somehow or other short measures’cretp in, and it Keeps a man hustling to Keep' them even fairly weeded out, ow, even In the drug stores and big goods establishments there 1s lots of for the inspector. During these hct days 1 have been putting in most of my time In the larger establishments in the business district, and you would be surprised to see how few places 1 go Into where I find everything all right. 1 happened to drop into one of the biggest dry gocds stores in the city the other day, and 1 happened to notice that the tacks in the counter by which dress goods were measured seemed to be unevenly distributed. 1 took my yardstick and went to work, and in a quarter of an hour found that there was not a place on the whole counter where the tacks were set exactly a yard apart. This was news to the proprietor, who was sure 1 was mistaken until I went over the counter again with the yardstick and showed him that every yard of gocds his clerks were measuring off was either too short cr too long. The only ex planation he could cffer was that in pulling the bolts of goods over the counter the cloth had caught on the heads of the tacks and pulled them out, and that the clerks had unconscicusly moved them a little when they put them back. ““There is one big drug store where I con- demned the whole supply of small weights not long ago. Here the proprietor was equally certain that his weights were all right, but I soon proved that they were all a trifle short and they were promptly replaced with new cnes, while I added the short welghts to my collection, I went into a drug store sterday and found a b'g glass graduate that was two ounces short. Here the pro- prietor had purchased a cheap article and it had not been accurately blown. I gave him a reascnable time in which to ship the grad- uate back and get a go:d one. “There len't as much money for the city in these inzpections as there is when I get to work on the big scales at the coal offices feed stores, groceries and meat marke!s Then I turn in as high as $140 a month in fees to the city treasury, where last month the total only amounted to $60. As a rule the men whose measures are condemned do not kick and readily agree to obtain better ones. To make sure I always condemn and carry away the short measures, but never- theless I can go around again in a month or two and still find bag ones in use. This is not always the fault of the proprietor, as he buys what he supposes is a first-class ar- ticle. But in the rivalry between manufac- turers a vast number of short we'ghts and measures are dealt out to the trade, and continual inspection ix the only thing that makes it possible for the people to get their money's worth."” dry work ——— ABOUT T QUARRELI CHILDREN Husband Cauxe rouble for Extranged Wife's Family, A vast amount of trouble and anxiety was caused the Brewers ~family, 1601 North Twenty-first street, ‘last Saturday by the efforts of the hushand of ove of the daughters to obtain his childre. He failed, but he succeeded in creating enough excitement to necessitate the calling in of a policeman twice. 1 The husband is Ben Mullen. He and his wife have not lived pleasantly together, it Leing charged that Mullen abused bis wife frequently. On accownt ef this abuse Mrs. Mullen left her husbnd, although it isealso said that Mullen invited fher to leave. At 2ny rate she went back to her father's house, taking with her their two children. It was over the children that the trouble arose. Mullen wanted them and he went to Brewers' house Saturday morning to get them. The family would have nothing to do with him except in the presence of a police man and consequently one was called. A quiet conversation was had and Mullen left. He returned again in the evening with an express wagon. It is charged that he was intoxicated. He wanted to carry off the children in the wagon, but his efforts being of no avail he again left, threatening that he was coming back to Kill the whole family. Late at night some members of the family thought they saw Mullen creeping up to the house in the surrounding weeds and again called for a policeman. One was sent to the house, but Mullen did not appear. ————— One Thousan 1 Kansax City. Kansas City had a large crowd of Omaha people to entertain yesterday. On Saturday night two excursions went down to that city, on which it is estimated that there were fully 1,000 Omaha residents. This number was swelled by inhabitants of the towns along the way, who took this opportunity to visit the Missouri city. One of the excursions was over the Bur- lington. The Omaha contingent was carried in fifteen coaches of a special train. Three cars were added to the regular train to ac- commodate the excursionists that were pickel up on the way. The trains left at 9:55 Sat- urday night and arrived in Kansas City yes- terday morning at 6 o'clock. The return was made late last night, the train arriving in this city this morning. e Nebraskn Israclite Club Organised.

So ar as respects wheat, the general conclu- slon is that we may calculate upon some- thing less than o good eld. though the farmer seems likely om- pensated by higher prices than those of ast year, while in regard to corn, the bl ance of western timates favors a very large increase of output over 1884. 1In the irdustries at large there no abate- ment of the sanguine expectations that have developed within the last £IX months The rise in raw materials and the continu ance of the remarkable recovery in wages from the decline of 188 and 181 shows conclusively that manufacturers are antici- pating a material increase of consumption, and it s to be presumed that thel Xpec- tations are based upon facts existing in the conditions of trade. Al this is satisfactory and naturally in- duces a large measure of public confidence. And yet there is unquestionably some with- holding on account certain factors in the financial situat As matters now stand, there is a clearly defined misgiving as to what may be the state of the treas- ury gold reserve after the lIst of October, when the obligations of the loan syndi to the treasury will cease. 1f, after that date, the relations bet the banks and the treasury remain as they have been for the Jast two vears, the treasury will have to supply all gold required for export, and yet it will have no gold income from the custom house or from any other source. It {8 hardly necessary to say what that means. One thing admits of no doubt; that, in _th bhacnce of ability to malntain the cold reserve and in presence of renew resort to borrowing tm order to secure gold there must be & reaction from the now revailing state of confidence and prosper- !\, how serious that relapse would be ich may judge for himself. Certain it ix that no mere commercial activity could st the depletion of the gold reserve as the treasury had no go ince vet was compelled to suppl needed for cur fixed exports of gpecie. the plainest truism that neither abroad nor at home can there be any settled con- fidence in our investments until we hav a strong and normal assurance that under any and all circumstances the United States government will be able to maintain pi ments in_ gold. It is the absence of an adequate assur- ance to this effect that is producing the hesitation about our Investments now obh- servable in the markets of New York and urope, It seems incredible that mean will_fail to be adopted to bring about the desired securit It is mere question of bractical finance; it requires no new or tpecial contrivances; It demands simply return to the old method of exchanges b tween the banks and the treasury use of gold as it was used up to 1863, payment of gold for customs duties,’ and the payment of gold by the treasu at the clearing house. It is not worth while to inquire why those relations were broken up; such an inquiry might ghow that treas- ury management was largely responsible for it. But this is no time. for adjusting blame or making recriminatory —charges The plain fact today is that the treasury and the banks have it in their power to <o readfust thelr relations as that each will have enough gold for all the require- ments of safety and credit, and It is in- coneeivable that they can much longer de lay coming buck to their old relative po- sitions. CAN'T DO WITHOUT WAL me 'REET. Henry Clews Polnts Out the Absolute ity of that Section It has been the habit of too many people— well meaning people, too—to dcery Wail street as hurtful to the morals of the coun- try and injurious to our best business - terests, Now, this is all wrong. Wall stceet has been very aptly described as the “busi- ness pulse of the nation.” 1t is that in the very best meaning of the term. As the minute hand on the clock denotes the frac- tional changes In the hour, so o the fluc- tuations in the Wall street markels the rise and fall of the business tem ture of the country. iet there be any tivity in mercantile or manufacturing cir- cles, and it is immediately reflected i the Stock exchange and the other exchanges where values are dependent 20 public con- fidence. On the other hand, caus:s that Influence the outside world harshly have a Jepe ing effect in Wall street, and the prices of securities and producta lower turn These are the results when natural con- ditions are allowed to have effect. Of course there are times when speculative Syndicates get control of financial chan- nels, and by their manipulation upset nat- ural conditions and prevent them from hav- ing natural results. It is at such times that panics result. There never has been a panic In Wall street that was not due to the work of men folned in a combination to give false effect to natural conditions. Wall street is essentlally a place where the law of cause and effect |s most marked. It is as impossible for any combination of men to resist these laws as it is for any human being to defy the laws of nature: You eannot £tay the tides or dam the Mis- sissippl. An expressive but somewhat i Teverent operator in grain - speculations, ccmmenting once on the fallure of a pool to put up the price of wheat and maintain it in the face of a big crop, said: "It is of no use trying to buck against God Al- mighty; He can upset the bulls every time.”” 'To the student of affairs there is much more truth expressed in these few terse words of a disappointed epeculator than In whole columns of the long sermons and tirades preached against Wall street's ways and means by ministers who have only a.cursory idea of the subject they are talking about, and seek only to decry ‘what they do not understand. Wall street is not 4 gambler's paradise. There s no place in the business world where more hard work, closer caiculation, Kkeener insight into affairs and philosophical wnd conservative conclusions are required than in the bankers' and brokers' offices of Wall street. There is no class of men Who watch events more closely than the operators in the Wall street markets. In the stress of war times it was to Wall street that the government turned for help. It was from Wall street that the assistance came which made a continuance of the government a possibility. Wall street has faved the nation more than once, and may have to do it again. It has always been ready to respond to any call, public or pri- vate, where financial or business problems were to be solved and the financial health of the nation preserved. It is very true that men have used as gamblers the opportunities afforded by Wall street, but these are not the men who hav made it reflective of the business prosperity 1ot only of this but of other countries; nor are they the men who manage what 'may sroparly be termed the statesmanship of hanking. Wall street is a place where sur- olus money from all over the world flows or investment. Investment in what? In the securities of the corporations which are dependent upon the material development of this country—the greatest land under God's good sunlight. No, indeed, we cannot street. How would our 160,000 miles of railroads have been constructed without Wall street? These great plonéers of development, pros: perity and clvilization wou'd have remalned Exceedingly limited in their extent —and cope if the bonds to build them had not been negotlated by Wall street financiers. Think of the fertile lands that these net- works of locomotion have opened to mil- llons from all nations of the globe, and the enormous increase of wealth they' have thus imparted by the development of our vast national resources to Our OWn country ~if we only estimate the average value to The country of every adult immigrant at $,000, the lowest economie calculation, Then, again,. look at the army of em- ployes connecfed with the railroads them- Felves, better paid than they could be for the same physical and intellectual ability in any other department of humen energy These employes, Including those who work in all the trades that contribute to rail- road building, car bullding and railroad supplies of every description, wumount to nearly 2000000, What a power thexe would be in politics If they should only unite for any purpose! k of the Knights of Labor and the fear thev once inspired when they did not exceed 500,000, they would be smail compared” with an organization of railroad employes.
