OMAHA PRODUCES A WIZARD Tmpecuneons Advertising Agent Now Ap- L pears as Man of Millions, DAVID LAMAR AND D. H. LEWIS THE SAME Judge Day Says He Identified Lamar In Crowd of Five Thousand Lewis, = Former Reai- dent of Omaha. David Ldmar, who s eald by J. P. Mor- @gan's attorneys to be the central figure in the suit in New Jersey to restrain the con- version of the preferred stock of the Steel trust, and who {s sald to be taking a posi- tion With reference to that trust analogous @0 that taken by Peter Power In the rafl- way merger, was once a resident of Omaha, aceording to afidavit made by Judge George . Day of this city. When David Lamar lived in Omaba he was kmown as David H. Lewis and ehowed mone of the marks which now attach to him as an associate of the leaders of ‘the Btreot.” Bpeaking of him yesterday morning, Judge Day satd: “I eould not be mistaken in the man. My name was attached to some papers which Bad been in his possession and the attorneys for his antagonlets wrote to Senator Millard o ascertain my standing apA it I still lived in the oity. I afterward received an invi- fation to come to New York and it 1 could 1dentify the man. I went to Itraek and pleked him out of more than 18,000 people there assembled. There is no Mioubt. of bis identity in my mind. Ofoe Furniture Attached. “Tt was (n March, 189¢, that T became ac- quainted with him. He had an office in the New York Life bullding and was an adver- tistng specialist, preparing blotters and other forms of advertising for the public generally. He had a law suit with a man named Long, who had attached some of his office furniture. I defended him in that suit and acted for him in another transac- tion. Aside from this I knew nothing about his business, but never looked upon him as & man of wealth. Bdward Haymaker, sec- rotary of the Rees Printing company, went on his replevin bond and probably knows more about him than I do.” Mr. Haymaker sald: “If that is really David H. Lewls, I knew him in a business way fairly well. He came here and placed orders with us for the printing of his ad- vertising specialties. When he had the law suit over his office furniture I went on his yeplevin bond and I had to pay that bond, too. The amount, as I remember it, was 340, and falled to reimburse me when he left. If I am not mistaken we have a book account against him of about $60 which he falled to pay. e drifted out of Omaha and ‘we never knew anything more about him. ‘We thought it was of little use to look him up.” Others Remember Lewis. Beveral other persons remember Lewis in & vagye way. Judge Day says that he can- not understand the reason the people who are opposed to Bim ars eo anvious tn aa- oertain his past record, as it would appear to have little bearing upon the case at la- sue.

Mr. Monson s at pres- ent running o f the largest and most up- to-date g tores In the state at Osce- ola, Neb., and is also interested in another store at Stromsberg, Neb, In outlining the policy of the new firm Mr. Swaneon sald it would be similar to that of the Hub in Chicago, known as one of the mode] men's stores in America. “In all metropolitan citles,! sald Mr. Swanson, “there is a large nu&r of men who, while not ‘freakish,’ are careful dress- ers. They want stylish dependable gar- ments at fair prices. They want complete lines of styles and fabrics to select from and they don't want to pay fancy prices for the sake of doing business with a name. ‘That is the class—the most desirable in the city—that we intend to cater to. The: Berg- Swanson Co. will carry complete assort- ments, showing every desirable and season- able production and giving every customer the guarantes of proper style, fit, finish and quality at a satisfactory price. In other ‘words, we belleve our experience and capi tal will enable us to run such a'store that Omaha men can come here and feel sure of obtalning just what they want in cloth- ing and furnishing lines at the lowest prices at which they can possibly be sold anywhere in America.” A corps of courteous and attentive sales- men will always be ready to show you through the store and give you every pos- sible attention. Partioular attention will be given the fit of every garment sold—always giving the customer the particular style or cut best suited to his sise or bulld and own per- eonal tastes.

Proportion to Gross Earnings as Are the Ratlroads. (Issued Under Authority of the Rallroads of Nebraska.) We copy from the Corn Belt, August of the present year, a letter giving figures showing what could be done by able manage- ment of a farm: On March 1, 1900, T moved on Mr. Schee's farm, situated in Lancaster county, near College View, containing 110 acres, includ- ing public road on three sides. Aftar gei~ ting everything moved and settled 1 began the usual work of the farmer, hauling about 150 loads of manure out onto the land, seeding twenty-five acres of oats, planting fifty acres of corn, fifteen acres of sugar beet, ten acres of garden, seven acres of cane and millet for feed, the re- maining three acres being taken up with barnyard, lawn, ete. From this planting 1 _harvested: Fifty acres of corn, 2050 bushels, market price 28 cents. R Twenty-five acres of oa els, market price 20 cents.

One of them is attending col- lege and only helps me during the vacation. The other son is in poor health, is not able to do hard work and only helped me with light hand work. Not being able to run & team on the farm he helped with the ped- dier's wagon, selling vegetables, so you can see how. most of the work was done. It seems to me that If a poor man cannot succeed in Nebraska he need not go any- where else. Nebraska is all right for me and I am now arranging to buy a farm. Yours truly, o L MARTIN SCHMALZ. lew, ncaster ‘ount; Eas! Central Nebraska. 2 % The farm mentioned in this letter is as- sessed for $600 in 1902 and the total tax paid in 1300, Including the tax pald to the village of College View, was $50.18, and it ‘would appear that the owner got half of the taxable value in rent for that year, and that the renter made $1,679.068 from the farm alone (we deduct the $90 made by other ef- fort) or in all that $1,979.06 was received from the use of this land, or over three times its assessment for one year. The bulletins which we have lssued have brought to us ideas in regard to some fea- tures of taxation which are interesting and of value. On July 21 we recelved a letter of which we give an extract: “‘Apropos of the rallroad tax case and the argument made by relators that property should be taxed on the basis of income de- rived from {t, I have had an experience ‘which shows the wisdom (7) of that con- tention. This year, as you know, our men and teams are very busily employed with the farm work generally and especially in this case during harvest time. We were short of men to gather cream in connection with one of our creameries, and I was obliged to find an extra team, and in rig- #ing this up I hired a horse from one of our liverymen, of course, at the lowest at- taipable charge. He charged us $1, or $7 for seven days. On looking up this man's assessment I find that his horses were as- ssed at $7 per head. In other words, the assessed valuation of his horse exactly equalled the net amount returned from that horse for one week, for during the week we had it we fed and cared for the animal, Messrs. Harrington and Howe were loud in their denunciations of the rallroad com- pany because of the fact that the assessed valuation only equalled the net returns from the roads for ome year. Our livery- man, who, by the way, had his horses as- sessed on the same basis as farmers gen- erally have their horses assessed, ‘went him better’ on the ratio of ‘62 to 1.'* It is hard to get at the operating expenses incurred in other business than that of rail- roads, but we can arrive at their gross earnings from data at hand and we give sults below for the year 1900 In Nebraska: ross d Earnings. _Value, $78,044, Rock Island system.
