This morning a warant will be sworn out from the federal oirt against Olson the authorities wid last night, would be fn- dicted by the grand jury now in session Olson’s cafension, according to Post- master Croy, did not cover all his pecula tione, “We clerk in event that who, #» made a careful examination of the books,” safd Crow last night, “and find that Olson has embezzled something over 32,00, Gambihg his dowsf: Olson declares, 18 the cause of He told the postmaster, who had been In consultation with the district attornes, that he has been an gambla for a long time, although he has managed to decelve his superiors at the postofice and most of his friends. His peculttions have been gradual and involv. ing ymall sums at a time. o some time suspicion h the stamp department knew that things were not exactly as they shiuld be, but he was unable at first to detect the source of trouble. Having the npst implicit confidence fn Olson and his apeociates, he was slow to suspect any of them. Things reached a state finally where An Investigation w necessary. The deficit was discovered Sunday night and Monday afternoon Olson unh®omed himself. Olson Has Many Friends. Olson has beefl in the postoffice here for a number of years. He was there before Mr, Crow became postmaster. He has hosts of friends and it was first thought possible to make up the heavy deficit and avoid the disgrace and humiliation of falling into the apands of the law, but no friends have come to the rescue and of his own volition Mr. Olwon yesterday decfded to make a clear confession. “He confessed to me,” sald Postmaster Crow, “and although by that time 1 had about satisfled myself as to the facts, 1 was terribly affected, ‘as 1 had learned to think & great deal of Olson. He,was always popular and no one ever would have taken him for a gambler or a dishonest man. 1 belleved him straightforward and upright and still think he is naturally well inclined, but like many other comparatively good men he hecame a victim of this manner of vice and was unable to resist the powerful temptation until it was too late. I regret the unfortunate situation with all my heart."” Olson 1s a young man, apparently in his latter twenties. He is a widower and has ene child, a beautiful little girl. Some three years ago he left Omaha and went to Seat- tle und took a position In his brother's bank. On his return to Omaha he made application for a position. which he was given in the Omaha postoffice. He has always been regarded as an expert at this work. Mr. Olson was arrested last evening and when seen at the city jail said ko had nothing to say in regard to the matter. NOTICE DEATH OF FIREMEN Councilmen Will Draft Resolutions of Condolence—No Fire E: Boaght. tnveterate hovered over Jstmaster Crow The council met and adjourned yesterday afternoon after appolnting the entire nine members 4s a committes to draft resolu- tions relating to the four firemen killed while on duty Thanksgiving. The only way in which the purchase of & fire enginé was touched upon was the re- ceipt of a letter from W. 8. Nott, pre dent of the Nott Fire Engine company of Minneapolls, in which he offered to rent the city a third-class new steamer for a period not exceeding foury months at $25 per month. In case an engine 18 bought from the Nott company the rental is to apply on the price. Conditions named are that the city Is to pay the frelght both ways and the expenses of an engineer to instruct the local department how to use the engine, this charge not to exceed $30. The letter was addressed to Councliman Hchroeder as chairman of the fire, water 4 police committes and was referred back to his commitiee This arpangement, If made, would afford the couftdl an opportunity to avade the mayor's argument that an engine must be purchased at once.- Previously the council decided to walt until an oficlal paper was secured in order to have a competitive test between the Metropolitan and Nott engines.

Louls exposition addressing the club and giving in addition much of interest regarding the educational exhibit generally. Mr. Barbour spoke of the clubs as ‘“colleges for married and said he considered them one of the chief educational factors of the state, though he found his idea combatted by other members of the educational branch of the commission. Nebraska will be the only state that will include .the work of its club women with its educational exhibit. Though the Palace of Education at the éx- position includes seven acres, the space allotted to. Nebraska is but 30x3) teet and to save space and avold duplication much of the work {s to pe bound or arranged in wing frames. Mr. Barbour asked for menu cards designed by club women for their banquets, original book designs, year books giving outlines of study and work, fllustra- tions, designs for book plates and covers, original musle, photographs of library bufldings, for which the state s so largely indebted to the club women, and last, but not least, photographs of club women them- selves. The club women will receive with satisfaction the announcement that Mr. Barbour is to have as his assistants in judging the work those who have served in & like capacity before. They are Miss Carrle Barbour, Mr. 1. G. Wocdruft and Miss Edith L. Webster, all assistants in the department of geology at the University of Nebraska and connected with the state museum. This will put at rest the uneael- ness that has existed among many of the most likely contributors regarding the capa- Dility of the Judges to be appointed. the lowa that conve | Wedanesday at the es in Cou Business occupled the rest of the hour, Mrs, R.

The treasurer reported four applicants for membership and two mem- bers having qualified since last meeting. The opposition to the seating of Reed Smoot In.the United States senate that is recelving the support of clubs all over the country, was at last introduced in the local elub and the women asked to glve the movement thelr moral and financial support.

The cut made by the Missourt Pacific to southern markets prob. ably will be the principal tople under dis cussion. A man prominently connected with the freight department of one of the local rafl roads sald that he had noticed the stories published in the local papers concerning the proposed change in the graln rates to the north by the Chicago Great Western. He also had seen one of the telegrams fro: TraMc Manager Stohr of the Great We etn, and said: “I cannot see how anyone that Omaha is not going to lo: anything by this proposed change in rates, neither can 1 see how this city will be on an equal | footing under the rates proposed with Kan- | sas City. Even If the rates north from Omaha and Kansas City are equalized, Kans City will have a better rate t #outhern markets by 2 cents, than Omaha, and there is no prospect of that difference | being removed. This will be just enough | difference in favor of Kansas City | able that market to secure the grain ship Mments from competing territory he dif- ference in the two places as grain mar kets can be plainly seen, under present con ditions, If you take up a Kansas C pape and read of the complaint which is being made down there now regarding the de to which grain shipments are being sub- jected. The grain dealers of Ka City have a fight on with the roads because the railroads con- tend they cannot move the product. | It seems from what I can gatber that the shipments are so heavy it ia impossible for | the transportation companies to handle them. You don't hear of that state of | affairs here, do you? At least !t has nnt‘ association can asclare to. en- | rail- been brought to my attention Not E Another freight man said: “General Agent Thomas of the Great Western has stated that Omaha and Kansas City will be on an equal footing to the northern mar- | kets under the new rates as proposed by Traffic Manager Stohr. At the same time others are making the clalm that this city ' is losing nothing by the proposed change | in rates. Now, under the rates as they stand at present, this city has the better of Kansas City by § cents to Minneapolis and St. Paul. If the proposed rate puts the two markets on an equal footing as Gen- eral Agent Thomas says, this city has lost its balance of © cents, hasn't it? That is | the way I would look at it." H. W. Howell, traveling freight and pas- | senger agent of the Milwaukee, who has | Just returned from a trip through 'N"J braska, says that grain dealers out in the state are heartily in sympathy with the establishment of a market in Omaha, and | are wihlli it nged be, to lend financial | assistance to the project. He says the es- | tablishment of a market here is the general | toplc of conversation among the country dealers and they haye - been very much ' elated over the annownmcement of rates which have placed this city at an ad-| vantage over other markets. i “But,”" sald he, “if the rates are restored there will be great disappointment amons | the country dealers who have bullt up ! great hopes on the apparent success which | has attended the efforts of Omaha mer- | chants to bulld up & substantial market here." - ukl Footing. ‘ atronize Howme Industry. OMAHA, Nov. 30, 1908.—To the Editor of The Bee: 1 have read your editorial in tho edition of the %th regarding “Life Insurance for Firemen,” and while we are in full accord regarding the propriety of men in this hazardous occupation car- rying a line of insurance that their families or relatives should be protected in case of a fatality to themselves, yet I cannot un- derstand why you, as a representative pro- moter of the interests of Omaha should | not recommend that the members of the firé department should take insurance in an Omaha institution—the Woodmen of the World, for instance. An fnstitution that pays hundreds of thousands of dollars an- nually into the business houses of this city for advertising matter to be distributed over the United States and Canada, thus not only advertising the order, but the city of Omaha as well. A greater amount, un- doubtedly, than any other business interest of the city. Another reason 1 desire to recommend thie Omaha institution fs because, while it is equally as firm and secure as any old line company in the United States, yet its rates are within reach of the smallest sal- ary. You say that a man at the age of 30| years could be carried panies at a cost of $3 per $1,000. The rates on firemen in the Woodmen of the World OOONNOOOOCONOOO0 * in standard com- | @ rg 3 years of age would be $1.3 each as- | (@ * sessment upon $1,000, o) which includes a paym: for the camp ex- | penses. And the payment to an old line | or standard company, as you call it, would | not include attention during sickness or | injury, nor cessation of payment of pre- mium while sick, all of which is attended to by his camp In the Woodmen of <the World. An equally proportionate sum would keep n $2,300 certificate In force in the Woodmen of the World, against 3§76 or | $8) as named by vou in the old line com pany. Thus you see if the city pald one- half the cost 1 recommend, 1t would be but & very small payment for the fire- | man. i There are many of the firemen of our | city who are members of this order at the present time, and I am only sorry that those gallant fel'ows who lost tiwir lives in the great conflagration lately had not been members, that their families might have derived the benefits thereof. 1 hope you will still further proi te the great idea you have advanced and also recom- | wend Omahe institutions for Omaha men.
