impression (the benefits that would

their efforts failed. But the bondholders
who succeeded them, have sought to re-

and in their plan of reorganization have
given the cities Of Wilmington and Fay

this State concessions for their interest
in this property, which are practically
identical with those they surrendered

With one exception they have not in

are working hard to carry out the inten-

The testimony before the courts shows
that the property has been greatly inn

Electric Bitters is a medicine suited for

needed when the languid, exhausted feel

sluggish and the need Of a tonic and al

medicine has often averted long and per-

Large Stock subscription.
The usual conference OF the soliciting
committees OF the Transmississippi EXPOSE
tion was held at the Commercial club rooms
last night. Owing TO the wreck caused by
the storm 1t was necessary to hold the meet
ing in one of the rear rooms. Only four OF
the committees we're represented at the con-
ference, and, after comparing notes, the
secretary announced that the amount col
lected during the week was about 100000.
or this amount the greater part was SUB
scribed by the employees of the street rail-
way company, the motormen. conductors
and house men. The list sent in from this
source showed that 35S employees had sub
scribed Sl2, $50, the amounts varying from
$50 to 500. In this connection the following
is a copy OF a letter sent to President Frank
Murphy of the Street Railway company by
Secretary Wakefield Of the Exposition com
pany:
My Dear Sir: 1 beg to acknowledge re-
ceipt from you of subscription lists Nos.
l,Ool to l,02O inclusive, containing thereon
subscriptions of employees of the Omaha
Street Railway company, S5S subscriptions
the Transmississippi and international Elk
position.
To say that the street car boys have
done we'll is to put 1t mildly indeed. They
have done nobiy. and on behalf of the
management of the exposition | desire to
dthioN ltuBc receipt OF SuDSCI ipllOHS anu
express to you and to the subscribers their
thanks and appreciation for this very ma
terial aid.
This makes a total OF s22, $50 contributed
toward the exposition by the street railway
company and its employees. the company
having subscribed $40, 900 last week.
The total amount of stock subscribed 10
date Is still a long way from the 5000, 900,
which must be subscribed before the gov
eminent appropriation becomes available.
The returns made to the secretary show that
there has been only about $4,000 sub
scribed. The committees report great diff
Guilty in getting the heaviest property own
ers and the moneyed men of the city to
subscribe. The same difficulty has also been
encountered in the cases of some of the
largest mercantile and manufacturing estab-
lishments in the city. Some of the latter
have refused, point blank. to subscribe a
cent, and others have offered to subscribe
an amount SO insignificant that the commit
tees have refused to accept it.
Owing to the small attendance at the
meeting last night it was decided not to
transact any business, but to continue the
work of soliciting for another week and
another conference will probably be held
at the same place next Saturday evening.

Farmers Near Calhoun Have Not Been
Cured of the Gold Fever.
Early in the summer some little excite
ment was caused by the announcement of
gold discoveries at Calhoun, a short dis
lance north OF Omaha. The discovery, 1t will
be remembered. was made at the bottom Of
a deep well and after the assays had been
pronounced most encoura ging by the smelter
people the whole matter suddenly dropped
out OF sight. The statement is now made
that work viii be resumed this fall by a
company to be organized among the owners
Of farms in that locality.
When It was announced that there was a
show Of gold some enterprising party
secured options on about all the land in that
part of the state. The options covered a
period Of six months and provided that the
owners Of the land would part with their
holdings at any time within that limit at
the rate Of SIS per acre. The party who
secured the options did not pay down any
money and the farmers soon came to the
conclusion that they had signed a iughandle
agreement.
Under those conditions the farmers would
not give any assistance in putting down
a shaft, as some one else would reap all
the reward of any discoveries that might
be made. The man who had put down the
original we'll would not sell though it was
said that he was offered as much as 500, 600
for twenty acres. Without money the work
came to a standstill.
The options on their land will expire in
October and the farmers say that they will
then organize a company and put down
prospecting shafts which will settle for all
time the question as to whether gold bear
ing rock exists in paying quantities in the
vicinity of Calhoun.
