Wagonloads of Money to Move Through Streets Two Big Banks Are Soon to Change Their Places of Doing Business. If anyone cares to pick up a cool $1,000,000 or so and does not mind running a chance of being perforated and going to prison. an opportunity will be afforded in a couple of weeks when the cash of the Dmaha National bank is moved up the street to the new home of the bank. A mere $1,500,000, and perhaps a little more will be conveyed from the old vaults to the new, and besides this the thriftily inclined might get away with $10,000,000 or so of securities. If this junk does not appeal perhaps some one may care to make a try at the cash and securities of the City National bank which also are to go en voyage through the center of Omhaa. The City National money will be moved some day next week and the bank will start business in the new home. possibly on Monday or Tuesday, but the real opening, which will be a big affair, is likely to take Place the following Saturday. Reception committees for the formal opening will be on hand, and also a reception committe-armed to the teeth-will receive, but not with open arms, anyone who may seek to grow friendly with the money en route. Taking it by and large, hither and yon, the formal opening will be a better event to attend. The two banks will not issue definite notice as to when the money will be carried across town preferring to be unostentatious in this matter.

WORK ON W. 0. W. BUILDING First Actual Move is to Test Subsoil of the Site. MAY HAVE TO USE CAISSONS Several Borings Have Been MadeOmaha National Bank to Move November 19-City National to Open in Two Weeks. The first actual building operation for the new Woodmen of the World building is going on, tests now being made of the ground where the structure is to arise. Borings have been made in the alley in the rear of the Milton Rogers store at Farnam, near Fourteenth, and boring will be taken so that the sub-soil may be thoroughly learned. If the ground is as firm as where the City National bank has, arisen all will be well, but If it is not, caissons must be sunk. Meantime work is being rushed in the office of Holabird & Roche on the plans, and these will soon be ready for final approval by the building committee and executive council of the Woodmen of the World. The Omaha National bank has definitely set November 19 as the date of moving to Seventeenth and Farnam streets and it is probable that the building will be ready by then, Officials of the City National bank said Saturday that two weeks from this date will see the formal opening in the new quarters in the City National bank building. The bank will probably move in a few days earlier in that week. Another job nearing completion is the new home of the Child Saving institute at Forty-second and Jackson, or where Jackson street would run' through. The plastering of this $60,000 building is done, window panes are being installed and the building will certainly be occupied before the holidays. The building is four stories high including the basement and is absolutely fire-proof. Steel Work on Union Pacific. At the Union Pacific's new building steel workers are now on the third floor. At the Burlington freight depot the grading in front of the building is about completed, the foundation walls have been in for some time and the first floor heavy flooring will be finished by Tuesday night. Steel truss work and brick work will begin as soon as materials arrive. For the postoffice building at Union station the heavy cement foundations are finished and brick work on the ground floor walls is about half done. while window frames are going in. This building is being rushed that it may be available for heavy holiday mail. : that the
