AN WITH A BOYING MANIA Tows Oitizen with Pat Baok Accoust Drops Money Freely in Omaba PAYS FOR GOODS, BUT REFUSES THEM Fancy and Then Wanders Back Home Without His Purchases, A retired farmer from Marshall county, Yowa, who has the right to sign his check for as much as $50,000 any time he pleases, has been bringing lots of joy to variow Omahans during the last few weeks. e in known as Alex Schurman and he has a ia for buying things. Inasmuch as checks he gave In payment have been promptly cashed, a host of new friends are siill friendly and are patiently waiting 26r the next visit of Mr. Schurman in order to load him up with the remaining Balf of the negotiable personal property af the oity. One brief trip to Omaha resulted in the | following purchases by Mr. Bchurman, ac- ‘ding to the statistics at present’at hand: One $,00 music store stock, which he Bea stored; any amount of gold, silver and oopper stock in western mines; six horses and six buggles, stored at several livery stables; four horses, bought but not col- lected; furniture adequate to stock a hotel; elght or nine overcoats obtained from the wearers because they pleased Mr. Schur- man's fancy, and a vast lot of small col- | lateral distributed at various points within the city Nmits, Mr, Sohurman made his debut In Omaha by suddenly appearing in a popular bar ome day and walking up' to a well-dressed man, whom he tapped on the shoulder and addressed: Likes the Go “I beg your pardon, but I lke your over- | toat. How much do you want for 1t?" The individual addressed was offended and made an irritable remark. “Oh, that's all right,” said the lowa man, and he pulled out a card about four Inches square. The comversation closed by Schurman buying the coat, which cost | possibly 320, for $40, and then declining to lake'ft for the present, saying that to de- Not tried Ayer’z Sarsaparilla? Ther you haven’t triec Sarsaparilla! teaee prive the original ownar would be a hard- ship to him. But the transaction was ended by the usual check. The same day he went out on the street and tought two horscs for round sums, presenting checks and telling the sellers that he would call for the propérty later. To remonstrances from. business acquairt- ances he sald: “Oh, God is with them. They can't get away from him. My property is perfectly | safe.” Other things he bought in the same way, postponing delivery, but paying cash. Some of the partles he dealt with insisted upon turning the goods over to him, however, and as a result the livery stables angd storage housws were called Into service. The joy that Schurman brought was not restrained to the few, and when he left the city there were at least a dozen volunteers at his hotel offering to pilot' him to the station. He seemed to be incapable of refusing any of them, but a local business man finally induced him to run the gauntlet and got him safely on the train. Made As nearly as can be ascertained, Schur- man made hi# snug fortune on a large farm, became interested in Christian Money on Farm. | Betence, leased his farm and moved into a small town. He has a wife and family and contemplated golng into the store business. That is what induced him to come to Omaha. Inquiries of persons from whom he had made purchases brought the slory out and was related by a business | man whom Schurman had made his con- fidant “I am not positive that Schurman is the man's right name,”" said he, “but his checks are honored immediately and I have been toll that he has at least 350,000 in the bank."

Kellogs of Development Company Here; but is Silent D. C, Patterson Reviews the Situation, Captain H. 8. Kellogg, president of the Saona Island Development company, has recently arrived in this city to confer, re- garding certain matters cornected with the management of the company, with David C. Patterson, 604 South Twenty-elghth street, an Omaha real estate man, who has spent some time In 8an Domingo. He re- fuses to bé Interviewed regarding the situ- ation In the lsland, explained some detalls of affairs in that place. He says: “The revolution in San Domingo 18 of | considgrable interest to a syndicate of Omahd citizens who, some time ago, through President Jiminez, now the h of the present revolution, secured a valu hlé concession for a railroad and for immi gration purposes. These concessions pro- vided that the government should pay the | cost of the construction of the railroad, in- terest thereon, and the fare of all immi- grants brought in. To guarantee these payments the government set apart and assigned 65 per cent of the customs re- celpts. These concessions cannot be an- nulled by any subsequent administration and resulted in a political issue against Jiminez by his enemies, who maintained that the concession in effect would give the Omaha syndicate control of the rail- roads of the country at the expense of the government, and also enable foreigners to bring in immigrants at government ex- pense. This would result in the Domini- cans losing control of the Island, it was argued. Could Not Suppress War. “Jiminez was unable to supress the revolution which soon followed, and was succeeded by his vice president, Vasquez. Within one year Vasquez was overthrown Gil, and now it seems that his army are in control of the country and have Gil surrounded in Sen Domingo City “The revolution now in progress is the usual method of holding elections down south, Wut little blood will be spilled, and the vanquished, while their feelings may be hurt, need not wait four years for a new election, but can try their chances again soon if they have any following or money. The revolution last year occurred while we were surveying fof the raflroad and it was over before we heard of it. Forelgners there take but little iInterest in these revolutions, or elections, as all political parties are careful not to molest foreigners or their property, and all the sugar plantations and large industries are owned by foreigners. “Vasquez and Gil are both very able poli- ticlans, and Jiminez is & superior man in business affairs, but s not regarded as so able & military man es the others. He was regarded by the business men when presi- dent before as tog Mberal, and trouble was predicted for him when he invited all ex- iles to return. He is the son of a former and made & large fortuse in ex- porting mahoguny from the lsland: It was his business success and skill In galning but Mr, Patterson has | | political influence which caused President ‘llel.renux to exile him. He was in New ork at the opening of the Cuban war, and whan our government chartered the steamer Faniia und loaded it with 3,000 rifies and { 1,000,500 rounds of ammunition together with | other accoutrements of war it was placed | In charge of General Jiminez, ostensibly | to be taken to aid General Gomesz in Cuba. | Why this vessel was placed in charge of an | exiled Dominican has never been known. The Navy and War depirtments both say there are no records bearing upon the mat- | ter. “Instead of going to the assistance of his former friend, General Gomesz, ip Cuba, Jimines salled stralght by Cuba, and at his own peril ordered an attack on San ) Domingo. A stop was made at a British isle and a pllot engaged, after which a landing was made at Cape Hayt!, where nine recruits were taken on board. At mid- night in May, 188, the Fanita, flying the Stars and Stripes, anchored in the Bay of Monte Cristo. Armed to the teeth Jimi- nez led his few followers to the shore and captured the governor. His Intention was to capture the garrison and organize an army to march on San Domingo city, but the garrison was not surprised. It gave him a warm reception and he was only able to escape to the Fanita. The pllot was re | turned to the British isle, where Jiminez ! was arrested for violation of the foreign enlistment act. “At the second trial at Nassau (the first | resulted in a disagreement) he was ac- quitted and fled to Europe, as he dared not g0 to Cuba to meet Gomez or land in the | United States to meet certain arrest, Mat- | ters here became strained with the United States. A government vessel had been|en- gaged In a conspiracy to overthrow the | government of San Domingo and heavy damages were to be demanded. But a cruiser was sent to San Domingo, explana- tions and apologies were made and Presi- dent Heureaux was pacified. The following | year Heureaux was assassinated, Jimines | was elected president and peace prevailed for some two years. He was then over- thrown by Vasques. His experiences since ! in regaining power must be very interesting history.” New e for Weak Lungs.

GRAIN XCHANCE AND WATER Former is Advocated by Local Men and Irrigation by Maxwell, MEETING AT REAL ESTATE EXCHANGE Strong Appeals Are Made to Business Men of Omaha in Behalf of These Ele: Succe The Real Estate day exchange yester- listened to addresses by George H. Maxwell on national irrigation and G. W. Wattles and A Reed on the Omaha Grain exchange, and passed a resolution condemning the pro- posed action of the city council in making & street corner advertising contract, and appointing a committee of fifteen to wait upon the councll Monday to protest. Mr. Wattles sald: “I don't think it necessary to speak at length to you gentlemen who are so inter- ested In the growth of Omaha on the grain exchange. You all know what it attempts. Its officers are working to build up here an enterprise of great benefit to every busi- ness in the city. The principal product of the territory on which Omaha depends is grain. This does and always has passed through this city and around it to our com- petitors. We are bidding for trade in this community without trying to tuke fn re- turn their prineipal product. This condi- tion would have continued probubly for years, but there comes here railroad | which without & cent of expense to us offers to put in rates which will enable us to make & grain market in Omaha. We once voted to raise $750,000 in bonds for a never built because of fiard times, Now the Chicago Great Western offers to do all this. We will have to meet a strong opposition from some sources which believe they will be injured by the change, and for this we will need a strong corporation with a large tund. I hope no opposition will rise, for it will have to go down.” George H. Maxwell made an Impassioned ! attempt to arouse the members to an ef- L | road which would do this, but the road was | fort looking to a broadening of the frriga. tion laws. He sald thut he had devoted fifteen of his best years and $20,000 of his own money to the work and ralsed over $300,000 for its advancement, and wanted no reward but success. He pélnted out that | the greatest way to improve Omaha was to increase the population of the state, and sald that if the Irrigation work possible on the North Platte were carried out as soon as possible the population of Omaha and the state could be doubled In ten years, The thing that must be done was by local | organization to create such an {nfluence on the state legislature and on congress that , the national irrigation laws be aménded |80 that the secretary of the treasury, could make loans to the irrlgation fund for im- mediate use, If this was not done the North Platte work might not be done for many years and perhaps never, aud’' the western half of the state would be aband- oned to grazing. Annually, according to Mr. Maxwell's figures, the North Platte furnished 4.000,000 acre-feet of water which went to waste, which If stored would re- claim over 1,000,000 acres in Nebraska.
