If the day is good 1t will he about the first
favorable THANKSGIVING day during the ex-
istcnce of the Western Foot Ball league
Last THANKSGIVING day the weather was
wrctched and 1t took an enthusiastic per-
son to brave the rain and cold to see Iowa
and Nebraska struggle over the pigskin.
People are already getting ready for the
great game. Certain members of the
Omaha High school are preparing gaily
decorated coach for the occasion. The
Thurston Rifles and the Omaha Guards
also will each have n tally-ho and it is
expected that many of the alumni of the
different colleges will follow suit.
Manager Oury has decided to bring his
team to omaha Wednesday evening instead

game Excursion rates have been s--ured
from Lincoln to Omaha and about 500
young men have signned their intention
of coming down to yell for their team.
At Council Bluffs unusual interest in the
game this season Is being displayed. They
feel a great interest in their own state

can to put Iowa to the front There Will

as he was endeavorlng to put these pla-
cards i'm the windows and took him before
the chief of police, from whom he secured
his release on the doubtful ground that
the games in omaha in the past had been
at loss rather than at a profit. This lit

Council Bluffs.

INVESTORS AFTER THEIR MONEY.
Meeting of Bundhoidcrs of the Peo-
pies Investment Company.


A meeting of the bondholders of the
evening at the law ofTlce of Crow & Crow
for the purpose of trying to find out what
their chances were of getting their money
back. There were about fifty of the bond
holders present who had each paid in sums
varying from $40 to over 500. 1t appears
that the payments have been made regularly
ever since the company was started until
last month, when the cflcers of the com
pany did not receive the money Most of
lhose present last evening stated they had
pald the september dues on the investment
DohuS TO the secretary, Il. Perry Evans
who has since removed to Kansas City.
Ihere appeared to be q division of opinion
as to the character of the company. Some
hold to the view that the company was
never organized on plan which could re-
turn to the investors in its bonds what
the officers promised, while others held
that II properly managed the scheme would
nave been winner. Whatever might have
been their opinion as to the plan. there
was unanimity Of opinion that the chances
of getting back the money invested were
not very brilliant under the existing crcum
stances. There did not appear to be any
one present who had any well defined idea
of the condition Of the assets of the COM
pany or whether it had any. The consen-
sets consisted largely OF unfullIled prom
ises
After considerable talk to no particular
purpose the meeting organized by electing
j. c. Smith chairman and H. Peyburn sec
retary. A committee of three, as follows
was appointed to look after the interests
or the bondholders and take such action
as was deemed necessary to protect their
Interests M. A. Mecham, S. p Woolf and
ID. Lane.
1t Is the understanding that this commit
tee shall employ attorneys, find out as much
rs possible about the condition Of the COM
pany and take any other action that Is
deemed advisable to protect the interests
OF the bondholders. The understanding was
that the attorneys should. If it was found
that the officers had received money after
they knew the concern was insolyent. insti-
tute criminal proceedings against such Off
GERS, or that criminal proceedings should
be instituted in case it was found that the
business was organized on a plan which
was illegal aud came within the special
statutes which have been enforced against

dition to this any action which promised
to secure return of the money paid in
