NEBRASKA BUILDING LOANS Teerotary Royse of State Banking Poard Reperts Improved Conditions. BRYAN NOKCOMMITTAL GN POLITICS | Has Nothing to Say Regarding Bos- ton Report (hat He Y the Prestdcntial Field to Tom Johnson. (From a Staft Corréspondent.) LINCOLN, Feb. 7.—(Special Telegram.) sSecretary Royse of the State Banking board today began the distribution of the | ninth annual report of the bullding and Joan associations of Nebraska. The fig- ures and recommendations are practically #s forecasted in The Bee several mouths 8go. A summary shows that while the number of associations in existence has de- ereased gradually since 1892, the number of shares in force and the total assets have fncreased to a marked extent. In 1f22 there were seventy-ome associations, with 45,012 shares in force and assets amount- ing to $2,002,667.67. In 1901 there were ffty-nine associations, with 119,985 shares and assets amounting to $4,314,- A ocomparison of the condition of all as- ®oclations on June 30 with the condition a year previous shows the following: De- erease in assets, $617,388; increase in loans, $506,001.75; decrease in real estate, $10,- 251.09; inerease in cash, $86,378.03; in- crease in other assets, $57,494.50; Increa: in number of shares in force, 14,360; de- crease in shares upon which dues are de- linquent, 3,805, Mr. Royse says: “Considering that build- ing and loan associations are essentially home-building and home-purchasing inst! tutions and that practically all of the yea increase in business went Into mortgage Joans, it would ‘reasonably indicate that sbout 700 members have begun payments on homes of their own during the year. The number of shares {n force has in- creased during the year from 105,625 to 119,985, and the number of shares on which jues are delinquent has decreased from 6,178 to 2,878. “The increased membership and the gen- eral growth of the entire business of the sssociation are equally gratitying and prove beyond question thelr popularity and ‘value in furnishing a medium throug! which the wage-earners and those with oderate means may become owners of ooirs Bryan Won't Discuss Candidntes. Willlam J. Bryan Is noncommittal as to the selection of a democratic candidate in 1004, other than to say that he himself @oes not seek the honor. Tonight Mr. Bryan's attention was directed to a report emanating from Boston, wherein Brving Winslow is reputed to have sald that he Bad been told by Mr. Bryan that the lat- ter would favor the nomination of Tom Johnson in the next campaign. When esked as to the truth of this report, Mr. Bryan sald bluntly: “I do not care to @iscuss candidates at this time. Whatever views 1 have, will be made |ubllc ln the columns of my paper.” Deleate to Irrigution Congress. Governor Savage today appointed J. R.

The Anti-Baloon league of this city pro- posed to demand of the excise board the submission of the local option question at the next city election. Resolwtions to th's | eftect will soon be adopted and presented to the board. Thomas Darnell, one of the temperance leaders of the city, sald today ““Yes, this question of submitting to tha voters of Lincoln, saloons or mo saloone, is being very much agitated and talked of over the city. While the Anti-Saloon league believes this to be wise and a fair proposition, there are other agencies and organizations (n the city that are press- ing the matter. I belleve the first to act on ‘his was the Chri Endeavor so- clety of the Congregational church two months ago, passing a resolution in favor of having the question submitted to the voters of our city at the nmext ety elec- tion of saloons or no saloons. The Chris- tian Endeavor society of the Second Pres- byterian church passed a resolution some time ago requesting that the question be submitted. The Men's league of the Sec- ond Presbyterian church has taken an active and aggressive stand upon the mat- ter and are asking that the question be submitted at the next election. Rev. . B. Boyd, who is president of the Christlan citizenship committee of the Young Peo- ple’s City union, has placed a petition on my desk requesting that the matter be submitted to the voters at the mext city election.” POLICE JUDGE HOLDS FUNDS John Combs of Grand Resigns d Promises to Make Good Deficiency. GRAND ISLAND, Neb., Feb. 7.—(Spe cial)—Police Judge Jehu Combs today handed in his resignation to the mayor, and the office will be filled until the spring election by one of the Jjustices of the deace. Mr. Combs was elected In 1900, belng one of five candifiates. He was formerly a rail- road man and had the support of the rail- road men of the city, with just enough others to pull him through in the five-cor- nered race that was made. At the t meeting of the councll it developed that he had not made y re- | port or turned in any of the money col- lected for fines and penalties for Decem- ber and January. The chairman of the committee of finance waited on Combe, who said he would have his reports in and the money turned over by this k. He failed to do so, and being further admonished by the chairman of the committee, said he dld not bave the funds and could not settle. The committee took the matter be- fore the council and immediate demand was made for settlement. The judge confessed that it was a case where he had taken the money, some for necessities, and further that it was a case of having too many friends. The agent of the company on Combe' bond last night informed. the counmcil that it would no longer be held responsible, and Mr. Combs immediately filed his resignation with the mayor. He endeavored last evening to get enough money to settle up the De- cember account, having until Monday to settle the January account, but could only tender his recently issued warrant for $38 and $10 besides. No arrest has been made, and perbaps none will be if Combs can.se- cure the money from a friend, which he believes he can do. His shortage is still about $270. Large Acreage in Alfalfa.

THE OMAHA DAILY BEE: SATURDAY, FEBRUARY 8, 19502 LIST OF FORCERIES CROWS Platte Valley Pesple Estimate Total at Hundred and Fifty Thowsaad. CASHIER GOULD MAY PLEAD GUWLTY Stand Trial, Offender is Expected to Throw Himself on Merey of the Court. DAVID CITY, Neb., Feb. 7.—(Special.)— The excitement incident to tatlure of the Platte Valley State bank of Bellwood is subsiding, and all fears of violence to A. H. Gould, cashier, and R. 8. Gould, as- nt cashier, who are in jail in this city are past. Reporters for the daily papers sought an interview with A. H. Gould, cashier of the defunct bank, yesterday. When one of the reporters stated to Mr. Gould the ob- Ject of the call, Mr. Gould sald: “I posi- tively will not talk to newspaper men. The newspapers are getting enough information from other sources and I will have noth- ing to say.” The reporters made their exit from the jall and sought to get some information from other sources which seemed reliable. R The only change in the genmeral comdi- tions as heretofore reported is that forged notes and mortgages are coming in daily, and as a consequence the amount of the forgeries is growing at a rapid rate. Holders of notes from Michigan City, Ind., and other eastern points are here driving out In the country to interview the alleged makers of notes and mortgagee. Without a single exception, every one of these notes and mortgages is forged. A very conservative estimate of the amount of the forgeries, so far as known up to this time, {s that they will aggregate about $150,000, and the end is doubtless not yet reached. A large amount of notes and mortgages are held by Butler county banks and local capitalists. All of those, so far as known, are genulne. As heretofore stated, real estate mortgages have been forged, includ- ing the certificate of filing and recording, giving book and page. This week several chattel mortgages have been received by banks and attorneys here that are also forgeries. The Platte Valley State bank was or- ganized in 1885, with David Belsley presi- dent and one Converse cashier. Some time in 1886 or 1887 H. R. Gould of Omeha was elected president and A./H. Gould cashier, who have held their official positions to the present time. A. H. Gould has since his arrest stated that the forging of notes commenced in the winter or early spring of 1889, when one of his relatives became financially in- volved, and Mr. Gould had signed notes for & large amount as surety, and he had those notes to pay, which In the aggregate amounted to about $15,000, and be was un- able to ralse that amount from his own resources, but conceived the idea of forg- ing & lot of notes in various sums and discounting those notes with eastern banks and private partles, ‘keeping a private book, where he had a record of all forged Dotes, amount of each and date of matur- ity, and when onme of these notes matured he would replace it with another forged note and pay the holder the intérest. This scheme worked admirably and was an in- centive to Mr. Gouldto continue forging notes, the habit of which seemed to grow on him and he became an expert to such an_ extent that it ‘has grown to be enor- mous, and of late years he has also forged a large number of mortgages on farms and chattels n the vicinity of Bellwood. Mr. Gould claims that had it not been for the biowing up of the bank sate a short time ago, in which the private book where be kept a record of all the forged not was destroyed, he would not have been de- tected, and he would be still rusning the bank as before. A. H. Gould, ‘the cashier, has not been arraigned yet, but it is the prevailing opinion that he will walve the preliminary hearing in county court and in the dis- trict court, which convenes next Tuesday, he will plead gullty and throw himself upon the lenlency of the court. R. C. Gould, assistant cashier, is still in the county jafl. He has not been arraigned yet. From reports heard about the court- house, he will probably walve his prelim- inary hearing In the county court, but will stand trial in the district court, as he now asserts that he Is not guilty of the crime charzed. Farmers’ Institute at Tekamah. TEKAMAH, Neb., Feb. 7.—(Special)— The Burt County Farmers' institute occu- pled the forenoon of the second day's ses- sion first by a discussion on seed corn, the best varieties and the method of selecting d keeping, which was followed by an address by F.

LAND FOR SMALL RANCHEHSI HIEF JUSTICE RECOMMENDS PE-RU-NA. blte Domain Shoul for People a Cerporatio Pe Preserved Not for SOUTH SIOUX CITY, Neb, Feb. 4—To the Bditor of The Bee: 1 delight to read your articles against the bill before con- gress which has for its object the leasing of the unoccupled public lands to the great cattle corporations of the west. 1 am de- cldedly opposed to that Bill. e spent & few years on the plains of Wyoming and Nebraska and during my sojourn in the semi-arid districts my observations visible between the rancher who owns a fow cattle and a quarter section of land, and the large rancher who owns number- less cattle and thousands of acres of land, is. caused by the greed of these corporas tions on the western ranges. It also led me to become a firm bellever in irrigation, because the large ranchers have all the land with water rights taken up and they now think they can compel congrese to deed them the rest. Now, why not irrigate this umoccupled land, and by 80 doing bring happiness to countless num- bers of human beings? It is an old saying that governments are instituted among men to bring happiness to the greatest number. It this saying is correct, is it mot right and proper that this goverment should put & damper on these cattle corporations, who hage no soul? Again, the corporations are only asking this government to give them a title to land which they have already: selzed. It is a notorfous fact that there are cattle which have thousands of acres of government land fenced, and if an innocent settler attempts to settle on the iand, which the laws allow him to do, he is met by an agent of these heartless corporations and told to move on. It is a moral duty of every nation to de- fend the weak agalnst the strong and greedy. Will this nation do this? If so, it will kill this_monstrous bill the minute it is brought belore the house. Now, you may say I am opposed to cor- porations, but this is all bosh, because I believe in protecting capital in all legiti- mate ways, but I am opposed to the tactics they have employed'in the unoccupied land- grab bill.

An Ever-Increasing Host of Witnessss, 1t used to be very common to hear people say that chronic catarrh eanmot be cured, The sclence of medicine has made all such statements absurd in thic day and age of the world. Thoss who know of Perus know that catarrh can be cured. A few of the great multitude of witnesses to this fact will be given. The names and ad- dreases are given that everybody may bave an opportunity of investigating further it they desire. Mr. Jacob L. Davis, Galena, Mo., writea “I have been cured of my catarrhal affilo- tion, and think that Peruna is all you clafni it to be. You are at libarty to use this testimony If you wish." JACOB L. DAVIS. Mr. 8. R. Hankineon, Poughkeepsle, N. Y., writes: "I have suftered for a long time with severe headaches, caused from catarrh. Some time ago I was confined to my bed. 1 had severe palns in the region of my kindeys. I read of Peruna in a lfttle pamphlet, and purchased a bottle, and felt a little better. I continued taking it taith- tully and feel better than I have for fifteen years. Your Peruna has done wonders fo) me, and 1 am free to say that no words of mine can frame a sentence strong enough in praise of what Peruna has done for me.” 8. R. HANKINSON. Mr. H. W. Hawes, No. 100 Grove St., San Francisco, Cal., writes: “For nive years I was a sufferer from catarth. I was advised by a friend to try Peruma. After taking one bottle I noticed much improvement, and the second cured me. 1 freoly recommend Peruna to suffer- ing humanity.” H. W, HAWES( Mr. F. G. Morrow, Strathroy,, Ont., writes: “1 suffered for years with catarrh and 1 tried Peruna, and it cured me within a- few months, and 1 am very grateful and most pleased with the results I obtained from its use. Whenever I feel a cold com- ing on I take a few doses of Peruna, and it at once throws off all unfavorable condi- tion: F. G. MORROW. Mr. Samuel J. Peterson, Conductor of the Detroit Lodge 1. 0. O. F., 77 Madison avenue, Detrolt, Mich., writes: “Peruna has given me an fron constitu- tion. I suffered for years with a most un- pleasant catarrh of the head and throst which gave me an offensive breath. A friend advised me to try Peruna. I did so, rather skeeptical in mind, and now there is nothing I have such faith in as your ca- tarrh remedy. In nine weeks I was com- pletely cured, my general health was also greatly improved and I soon found mywelf stronger than I had been for years, and I can endure more strain and work than I have been able to endure for years."
