Beyond the shadow of a doubt one of the greatest purchases of Women's Furs
in the history of Omaha, on sale Monday for less than 50c on the dollar.
Involving as they do more than eighteen hundred pieces These fine furs come in the highest grades
of Isabella and. sable foxes. Those who have read of purchases and sales in the past and who have
attended them and been benefited by them must place this gigantic purchase in a class by themselves
because nothing equaling them has ever been made and held in this or any other city. There is
quality, merit and style merit to every piece You can form some idea of the values to be distributed
when the PRICES ARE LESS THAN HALF ACTUAL WHOLESALE COST.
These extraordinary price concessions on women's fine furs would be something to talk about in
March when retail stocks are being closed out, but in the midst of winter it is so unusual as to be sen
sational It is impossible to praise the event too highly.
EVERY WOMAN WILL BE J3NRA.TPURED WITH THE BARGAIN OPPORTUNITIES.

CHICAGO, Deo. IS. With nearly seventy
live funerals to be held In Chicago to
day, there was no sign of r-ce between
the livery and hearse drivers and tnt'r em
ployers. .In cold, drlsallng rain tha relative's of
those who were to be burled, slipped along
the lea and slush-covered pavements. In
many eases the mourners followed to rail
way stations the businesslike "dead"
wagons of the undertaker. .Walking was
treacherous, but there was practically no
alternative. No carriages were to be had.
The undertakers announced that they
would not send out any hearses until the
Strikers had been forced Into submission,
for It would be dangerous to send the
costly carriers out of the barns even If
nonunion men could be had.
The funeral of a woman whose husband
Is In Jail charged with her murder was
held today under guard of police, who
were forced to use clubs to disperse crowds
of striking cabmen and sympathisers. Tha
children of the murdered woman were the
only attendants at the funeral. The corpse
was taken to the cemetery In a wagon.
Vadertakers l'e Stratea-y.
A funeral car. Instead of a hearse, as
well, as a police guard, was utilised by
Undertaker Joseph Blake to circumvent
striking picketa, from whom violence was
(eared, at the funeral of the young daugh.
tar of Joseph Keefer. president of a tea
company. ,
The body of the child was placed In a
eonimon undertaking wagon Instead of a
hearse, driven to Thirty-first and Wallaoe
streets and put on a street car In waiting.
The mourners boarded a second car and
the trip was made to Oakwood cemetery.

The Keefer residence was surrounded at
the time of the funeral by picket. The
polios were present, holding themselves in
readlneas in case of violence, but none was
encountered.
A more serious phase of the strike devel
oped toAay In the threatened spread of the
tleup to .'ncludo stablemen and stockmen.
Should these men go out the ambulance
service ol the city would be seriously
crippled. Pressure is b Ing brought to bear
upon the men employed in these depart
ments to Induce them to call a sympathetic
strike.
May Get Solid Hearses.
Permission to remove sick from their
homes to hospitals was dented In several
Instances by striking livery drivers,
j An undertaker's wagon in lieu of a hearse
was secured to convey the remains of
Judge Jonas Hutchinson of ths superior
court from his residence to Oakwood cem
etery. A sufficient number of private car
riage were suffered to carry the relatives
and a' few of the Jurist's friends to the
grave. .
A "dead" wagon, driven by a eon of Un
dertaker Perrtgo, returning from Grace
land cemetery after a burial, was pursued
through down town streets by a coal
wagon, whose union driver attempted to
ram the undertaking van with the pole of
his wagon. Lashing his horses Into a gal
lop, young Perrlgo managed to escape.
New hearses without glass windows will
be secured by the undertakers if the strike
Is not settled before Monday. The under
takers declure that the only reason they
do not drive the hearses themselves at this
time is that they do not wish to have the
glass destroyed.
Te Investigate Street Car Strike.
The grand Jury has started a general In
vestigation Into the recent street car strike
on the lines of the Chicago City Railway
company, with ths prospect of returning
many tndlctmenta for aasault and rioting.

DENVER. Do.' U. Troops are to be
withdrawn gradually from the Cripple
Creek and Tellurlde mlnlsg districts. This
has been decided as a result of a confer

Jutant General Sherman M. Bell. "Within
Ihlrty days." said Oeneral Bell, "the trcops
will all be withdrawn from the field. The
strlkea are practically over. There are
. miners working In Cripple Creek, and
tne Tellurlde mines, one after another, are
being reopened."
Orders 'have been Issued to reduce the
Cripple Creek force Immediately from 87b
to U0 wen and to relieve lit men at Tellu
rlde, thus cutting ths force In that district
to K5 men. At the first of the year an
other rut will be made.
Governor Peabody las offered a reward of

the outrage.
The Denver Citlsens alliance today of
fered 1100 reward for the apprehension of
the New Castle dynamiters. The resolution
adopted mentions the fact that the houses
destroyed were those of union workmen,
but adds that the alliance "stands for law
and order, and opposes violence and law

CINCINNATI, Dec. ' 1. The' Master
Plumbers' association and the Contracture'
association of Cincinnati today Instituted
proceedings for damages against the Cen
tral Trades council and the local Plumbjng
Workmen's union. ' The decision was
reached when the associations heard re
ports on an assault upon E. N. Black by
five striken. Black was taken home In an
unconscious condition. He Is a working
plumber, the foreman for William Heller
brand dc Co. and a stockholder in that firm.
He was assaulted while at work and be
cause he continued working. The associa
tions seek first to enjoin the unions from
calling out men who may . be in arrears of
union dues and from Interfering with work
where such men are employed. The second
proceeding Is for $2,030 damage for calling
out the plumbers because men In arrears
were working on a new hospital and for the
attachment of benefit funds In the treas
uries of the Central Trades council and the
local workmen's union. A third proceeding
la against Individuals for assaulting Black
for which warrants have been Issued. No

Dealea Christmas Psurtles.
BERLIN, Dec, 18. The Baxon govern
ment has forbidden the holding of seven
great Christmas parties at Crimmltschau
by the strikers belonging to the textile
trades, on the ground that they would be
seditious gatherings tending to disturb the
publlo peace. A feeling of Intense bitter
ness Is the result. These parties were to
be paid out of the strike funds, so that no
strikers should be without a Christmas cel
ebration. The National Society of Textile
Workers, however, has arranged to give
a present to every child. The streets of
Crimmltschau are . now patrolled by
gendarmes whose orders are to permit no
more than two men to be together In ths
streets. Nearly the whole body of strikers.
between T.0M and $,000, marched over the
frontier Into the territory of Aletenburg, a
few days ago, to hold meetings out of the
reach of the Saxon government and dis
cuss the situation. They are determined to
persist In the strike which has now lasted
eighteen weeks. .

disturbance was due to the fact that a bill
affecting the Interests of the clerks In the
Ministry of Publlo Works was not discussed
In the Chamber of Deputies, and the agi
tation among those clerks began spreading
among the clerks employed In other minis

HOTEL MEN ISSUE SHORT STATEMENT
Claim that Hatch Will Not Be Amy

ventlon Times and Some
Give Prices, , v
WASHINGTON, Dc.i. !. What seems to
be an attempt on the part of the Chicago
hotel managers to raise rates during the
national republican convention Is to be
nipped In the bud by the national repub
lican committee. Postmaster General Payne
telegraphed to Chairman Hanna yesterday
that evidence had come to him Indicating
that extortionate rates have been fixed for
the convention by the Chicago hotels, and
suggesting that unless assurances are at
once forthcoming that the regular rates are
to be charged that the national committee
would rescind Its action In selecting Chi
cago as the convention city.
Postmaster General Payne tonight stated
that it was ths duty of the national re
publican committee to see that no extor
tion was practiced and a subcommittee of
the national committee will Investigate the
whole subject. -It was naturally to be ex
pected, he said. In view of the crowds
which would be attracted to Chicago dur
ing the convention, that there should be a
moderate increase over the ordinary rates,
but If It Is found that there la a combina
tion to raise, the rates the committee will
take prompt action.
CHICAGO.. Deo. 19. The report that Chi
cago hotels will attempt to charge extor
tionate rates during the national republican
convention Is denied by hotel men.
Speaking generally, rates will be raised
only to the extent which will reimburse the
hotels for the additional expense. To this
end and also that as many guests as possi
ble be accommodated, the full capacity of
rooms will be utilised. . In most cases the
matter will be equalised by charging the
normal rate, but using the "doubllng-up"
system, which hotel men admit Is a famil
iar adjunct of conventions. ,
With regard to the rates of the Audito
rium hotel and the Auditorium Annex, M.
H. Southgate gave out the following; signed
statement of charges: .
Rooms, with or without bath, one or two
people, $10 per day.
Large rooms, which will accommodate
four people, $ifi to tM per day.
Mr. Bouthgate's statement concludes:
."Regarding the five-day contract will say
that these rates apply to the time of occu
pancy of the rooms. The Increased Vats Is
made on account of holding rooms several
days In advance to keep contracts."
The Great Northern hotel. In a statement
signed by John Roth, the resident manager,
puts Its charge at $3 to $6 for a single room,
one person. If ths room has another occu
pant he will pay the same rate as If be
were the sole occupant.
Statements conforming In tenor with the
foregoing were made also by the proprie
tors or managers of the Palmer house, the
Wellington, the Victoria, the Wludsor-Cllf-ton
and the Shej-man house.
Goes After' Democrats.
Chicago having secured the national ' re
publican convention It was determined to
day that the claims of this city for the
democratic convention also should be laid
before the national committee of the latter
party when It meets In Washington In Jan
uary. L'ndor the ieadrahlp of prominent 4iuv
crats the movement was put under way by
the formation of a permanent committee,
with Former Judge Adams A. Goodrich as
chairman. Assurances were received that
there, would be no difficulty In securing all
the financial backing necessary and Chair
man Goodrich was empowered to appoint
all needful subcommittees.
"We will go after the convention In earn
est," said Mr. Goodrich. "We know that
we will have strong rivals, but we have a
far better start than we did in 1896, when
the convention came here and we expect to
land this one."
DEAD MAN FLEECED COMPANY
Discovered that Former Officer of
Central Treat Compaay Mad
Away with Fands.
CLEVELAND, Dec. 19. According to an
official statement made by the Central
Trust company this afternoon. It has been
found that E. W. Rader, late secretary
and treasurer of the concern, was short In
his accounts at least $20,000 at the time of
his death on August 1 last. .The shortage
la covered by an indemnity bond and
the bank will not lose a cent. There have
been rumors In circulation for some time
past that Rader committed suicide as a
result of his financial difficulties.
In addition to his shortage with the Cen
tral Trust company it has developed that
Rader, as secretary and treasurer, Issued
to hlmelf one share of stock of the com
pany In due form and subsequently fraudu
lently raised the certificate to read 100
shares. Upon this certificate hs secured a
loan of $10,000 from the Euclid Park Na
tional bank. The latter concern has brought
suit against the Central Trust company to
determine who shall lose this money. Other
forgeries uncovered by the bank officials
will. It is said, result In bringing the total
amount Involved to nearly $40,000. Rader
waa one of the beat known business men In
the city.

In an unusual manner.
Although extremely feeble, Becker win

REGARDS BLAND-ALLISON ACT AS ERROR
Chairman of Senate Flaaaee Commit
tee Says Chances In System Are
Unlikely at Present Ses-
slon of Conatresa.
CHICAGO, Dec. 19.-enator William B.
Allison of Iowa spoke before the Bankers'
club of this city tonight on "Our Currency
System and Our National Finances." After
reciting the history of th various financial
laws that have been enacted by congress
since 1879, the senator took up the Bland
Allison bill and the Sherman acts, which,
together provided for all the silver dollars
coined and In circulation or represented by
stiver certificates.. He said In part:
I regarded In U90 and I regard now the
act of that year as a mistake, but It was
the best attainable then as respects the
coinage of the silver dollar, and It ought
not to be forgotten In the consideration of
this subject of the silver dollar that there
has been turned Into the treasury as profit
on coinnge about $130,000,000 in the aggre
gate. This creates a moral obligation on the
part of the government to maintain the
sliver dollars at a parity with gold coin
outflde of sperlno provisions of law direct
ing It to be done, twice passed by congress
and emphasised In the art of 1900. -
Our national banking ayBtm lacka elas
ticity In one respect. NMJonal banks
cannot curtail their elrculotlfn at will,
although they can Increase It &l vlll This
can easily be remedied by a mortification of
the law prohlhltlnx the retirement at the
rate of more than $3,000,000 per month. But
there Is an elatlclty In the other direc
tion, as shown by the fact that our na
tional bank circulation has largely In
creased In recent years.
Asset Currency Improbable.
Under present banking methods there Is
a eonstant tendency to concentration of
money In the great money center at cer
tain periods of the year. It not being re
quired for use in more rural portions of
the country. This money cannot well re
main Idle In these centers. Interest being
paid on deposits, and when It la needed at
the more distant points there Is difficulty
In Its withdrawal from these central marts
of trade. It Is possible that this system
of concentration might be checked In some
degree by th bankers themselves.
I have not discussed what is known as
the system of asset currency. I do not
see that this proposed radical change if
our laws In respect to our circulation ta
possible as Ion as our present system of
direct government Insues prevail, as It
would result In a large expansion of the
total volume of currency and this expan
sion cannot be checked by means of rapid
redemption, because there la no motive to
firess redemption,- Nor can rapid red em p
lon be secured until an asset arrangement '
by requiring redemption In gold for so long
as thene government ixaues continue In
so large a volume the government would
be called on to provide the gold for the
banks through redemption of Its own
Issues, and would be the store house from
which these banks would draw the gold to
redeem their Issues. This would create A
needless, endless chain which might result
In embarrassment to the government.
The senator In closing declared that he
did not consider any change In the present
monetary system as likely to he made dui-.,

PORTLAND, Ore., Dec 19. The Tele
gram says that at the meeting of the Na
tional Live Stock association, which opens
In this city January IX one of the most
Important subjects coming up for con
sideration will be the launching of a con
certed movement whereby legislation may
be secured from the national congress to
provide emergency currency for western
banks, that the periodical loss visited upon
live stock and agricultural Interests dur
ing periods of heavy movements may be
minimised, If not entirely obviated.
It Is asserted because of conditions of the
money market during the lost few months,
just at a time when the movement of Itv
stock was heaviest, millions of dollars
have been lost to the stock growers of th
west. Banks holding cattle paper have In
many Instances called In their loans be
side declining to make new ones, thereby
depriving stockmen of necessary fund
with which to protect their Interests.
