There has been no event in Nebraska
in recent years in which so much interes:
was manifested as this election OF officers
for the exposition. The large hail in
y hich the election was held was crowded
to its utmost capacity until after mid
night and the halls adjoining were also
filed with stockholders interested in
what was going on. Electioneering was
prevalent in all quarters of the large
room and halls.
The polls were closed shortly after mid
night after over 5000 shares had been
voted of the $4,000 or more on which the
assessment had been paid.

FOSTER IN CONTEMPT

Hours in the County Jail-A
Stay of Execution.

A w. Foster, president of the San Fran
cisco and North Pacific Railroad, has been
adjudged guilty of contempt of court and
has been sentenced totwenty -four hours in
Jail.
This citation of contempt is the outcome
OF the suit of Sidney V. Smith fo- the po-
sition in the directorate occupied by p. n.
Lihenthal. Judge Seawen recently de-
cided that Smith was the legally elected
director, and that Lilienthal was erron-
eously installed in office. After the decis-
ion Smith presented himself at the next
meeting and he was refused admittance.

TOUR ENDED IN LOSS
Stanford Glee aud Mandolin Clubs Re-

Behind, After Eleven Concerts.


Behind, After Eleven Concerts.
The Stanford glee and mandolin clubs
on their way back to college after a ter
days concert tour of Southern California
passed through town yesterday evening
and took the OILS o'clock train for Pale
Alto.
After appearing in San Jose, San Fran.
cisco and Oakland the boys gave concerts

lands, Los Angeles and Fresno, the last
two towns being visited twice.
The twenty-five musicians were unani-
nous in their praise of the hospitality OF
the people of the southern part of the
State. Everywhere they were received
and entertained royalty, their advent in q
town being made the occasion of q society
event.
But financially the trip was not sue
cess. The expenses of the entire tour ex-
ceeded the receipts by $500. A large part
OF the loss was caused ct the very outset
through the small audiences in this City
and in Oakland, due partly to late adver-
tising.
The Stanford manager said that the
travelling expenses alone amounted to over
5000. Living expenses were nearly $4O0.
Then advertising and rents formed another
large item.
He took consolation in the fact that the
Berkeley Glee Club lost $500 on its South
ern California tour made last year.

gone even farther, for conditional arrange
ments have been made with the owner of
steamer on the bay to carry on ferry
service between the City and BeIyedere
And that this accommodation might be
assured large bond was exacted, and the
samboat owner declared he was ready to
give the security demanded.
j. D. Maxwell, one of the first men to
make his home III the attractive seaside
suburb near Tiburon, has been an active
participant with the other residents of
Belvedere in this movement for an inde-
pendent means of transportation across
the bay. He says that all his neighbors
are fully determined on what they shall
do in this regard, for it is either q clear
case OF success in the venture or ruin Of
their homes, which now faces them
through Sidney Y. Smiths scheme of con-
solidation.
None OF us wish to appear as in opposi-
ton to Mr.. Foster of the Donahue road -
he said yesterday. s'Mr. Foster has done
great deal for us, and we in Belvedere
are we'll pleased with his attention to our
interests. 1t seems, however, that Mr..
Smith may play a winning card Some of
the more timid people fear he may win,
In which case we OF Belyedere would be
left out in the cold. We all saw that
something had to be done in the matter to
protect ourselves, and so we caucussed and
discussed the condition that faced US and
is still before us. 1t did not take long to
find what we wanted.
I'VE, that is the Belvedere Improvement
Club, made arrangements with the owners
OF steamer to give us service that would
meet all requirements for the same rate as
we are paying on the Tiburon ferry Tue
steamer people have agreed to give us a
bond of $4,000 that the service will be
maintained according to contract, so that
we have guarantee already of everything
We need for transportation.
There was stipulation in the contract
that we build Wharf or landing at Belve-
dere. This was submitted to the Belve-
dere Land and Water Company, and they
agreed to construct a commOdious landing
and extend the road down to it. The COM
pany was SO pleased with the idea that it
forthwith stated its intention of building
an electric line from the landing through
Belvedere and on to San Rafael. Estimates
OF cost. ETC., were obtained and it was seen
that the electric system was quite feasible,
could be constructed at small cost and
operated economically and at profit,
while the motors could be utilized for sup
plying Belvedere avenues and our houses
with electric light Such is the plan of
the company. have no doubt the electric

alone, for the woman with the cowhide
was with her. The shrieks of the creature
OF the half world drew a great crowd, and
at the corner kindly hands arrested the
stinging blows OF her pursuer.
Down O'Farrell she sped as fast as her
qulvering limbs could carry her, the Won
dering crowd only losing sight of her
view.
SO far as known the mysterious blonde
cuts no further figure in the case.
When the gaping people-those in the
street and those from the windows above
mad looked upon the horsewhipper as long
as she cared to have them, she proceede
to the butchers and the bakers and the
corner grocerystore, and at each OF these
places related the story of her wrongs.
1t seems that she is the wife OF Ed
Homan, familiar figure at the Midwinter
falr, but more recently acting as manager
OF the Midway Plaisance. For some weeks
past, according to her story, she has had
occasion to doubt the marital honesty OF
her husband, but. try as she would. could
never catch him in any direct violation OF
these obligations.
Monday afternoon the telephone. that
wonderful little instrument with the
nlckel-ln-the-slot attachment, got IN It's
deadly work and Mrs. Homan found 1t
necessary to call up some friend over the
telephone, and to that may be traced dl-
rectly the severe horsewhipping OF the
blonde-haired woman.
Mr.. Honlan was holding conversation
with the tall trim girl, and in some thor
oughly inexplicable manner the wires be-
came crossed. Mrs. Homan overheard all
that was said, and she forthwith made
solemn promise to be present at the meet
ing. How faithfully she kept her word has
already been told
The belligerent wife said her fanciful
husband lives at Geary court, within

dent that the telephone girl maintained
discreet silence.
Shortly after O'Clock Monday afternoon
have observed tall, slender young woman
OF the blonde and demi-monde type slowly
pacing up and down Jones street, from
Geary to O'Farrell. Occasionally the
young woman cast an anxious, expectant
look around her, but not observing the
object of her quest continued to thread the
altdeserted thoroughfare.
Shortly after the tall blonde put in an
appearance, q little black-eyed, black
haired woman, heavily veiied, came
around the southwest corner of Geary and
Jones streets and taking her stand in the
| shadows watched the trim figure across
the way. The last conner wore a half
sealskin cloak, underneath which she i'm
| prisoned her right hand, as though she
| desired to conceal som ething within its
grasp.
| Almost simultaneously with the appear
ance of the biack-haired woman a man

shop, some three or four doors from Jones.

| This performance was not observed by
the woman of raven locks nor she of golden
tresses, but as the hour of $50 was at
hand the former determined to make
break-and she did.
Hastily crossing the street, she made
directly for the woman of serpentine figure
and faxen hair. But the latter was not
to be caught mapping. She saw an angry
woman coming, and with the utmost dis
cretion beat as hasty a retreat as her skirts
would allow, and nearing the Signal Ex-
press Company's Office she made a flank
movement by fleeing directly to the mid.

If the blonde hoped by this to throw her
pursuer off the track, the next moment
dispelled such deluslon.
The two women-the pursuer and the
pursued-met face to face in the middle of
the street.
How dare you,'' screamed the little
woman, make an appointment to meet
my husband?'
II didn't, l vow / didn't TREMENDOUSLY
replied the other.
You lie. you know you lie," shrieked
the first. Take that, and that and that"
And with this last, the brunette drew
from beneath her sealskin coat horse

Down Jones street toward O'Farrell the

Belvedere ferry.
"The steamer in question makes better
time than the boats on the Tiburon route
We have the choice of two landing places
in San Francisco-one near Market street,
the other at the foot OF Powell street,
where the kearny street electric cars stop
The time from Market street to Belvedere
IS twenty minutes, and from Powell street
fifteen minutes, whereas the other route is
thirty minutes. The steamers name is
not to be made public at this time for good
reasons, but it is about the size OF the Gen
eral Mcdowell.
Sidney Smith has stated in his scheme
for consolidation OF the two railroads that
he would take off the ferry boats on the
Tlburon route with the exception of those
connecting with through trains of the
Donahue road. He would have everybody
travel to and from San Rafael via Sausa-
Tito. That plan would utterly ruin Belve-
dere. for we should then have to move our
houses and come to San Francisco or 60 to
Sausalito. We have spent considerable
money in Belvedere and consequently we
do hot propose to be set aside by Mr..
Smiths plan of economy. We propose to
run the Belvedere ferry at times through
the day when the riburon boat is not run
ming, and by that means have a service
which cannot be taken away by rival rail
roads,
