rs KANSAS CITY AFTER IT.
Rumor That She is After the Trans
Mississippi Exposition.

Lincoln, Neb Feb. Astonishing in
the nature of a furry among friends of
the Transmississippi exposition was
noticeable this morning. Agents of the
Kansas City Commercial club are Sc
cretly in the city to learn the exact
status of the exposition bill before the
Nebraska legislature.
1t is given out here that these agents
will report to the legislatures of Mis-
souri,, Arkansas, Kansas and other
western states the true situation con-
corning the Nebraska bill, and if there
be any grounds for such report they
will say that Nebraska lawmakers are
not in favor of an exposition and refuse
to vote for an appropriation.
This statement is to be taken as the
basis for an announcement, it is said
that Kansas City stands ready to pledge
1000, 600 cash as a bonus to be paid on
demand of the Transmississippi Com
mercial Congress on condition that the
exposition be relocated at Kansas City,
and that the money be donated to eX-
position purposes. This is no surprise,
however, to large number of people
who have known for some time that the
Commercial club of Kansas City had in
view the exposition, if for any reason
Omaha failed to carry it through.
RUMOR -DENIED AT KANSAS CITY.
Kansas City, Feb. 3.-M. v Watson,
president of the Kansas City CONNER
cial club, upon being shown the fore
going dispatch last night, promptly de-
MED its truth.
THE matter has never been mention
ed in the Commercial club said he,
land so far as am concerned I would
be opposed to any such movement. 1t
wouldn't do at all for us to attempt to
get the exposition after it had been
formally located at Omaha, and after
the government has appropriated sew
eral hundred thousand dollars toward
promoting it. My idea is that this
ta
braska legislature and create a senti-
ment in favor of a state appropriation"

ROCK ISLAND SHOPS.
Revival of the Rumor That They are
to be Moved From Horton.

The ST. Joe Gazette of today revives
the story of the removal of the Rock
Island shops at Horton to st. Joe. 1t
says in this connection:
Notwithstanding the emphatic denial
entered by the Rock Island officials to
the published rumor that the company
was about to remove its shops from
Horton and Trenton to st. Joseph,a few
weeks ago, there is revival of the re-
port from the original source, and it is
declared to be based upon positive
knowledge.
In confirmation of theory that the
Rock Island is taking the preliminary
steps for some such movement, ii is
stated that q corps of company survey
orS has been at work for several days
on South Eleventh street, near the glu-
cose factory, where the Rock Island
owns a tract of land some ten or fifteen
acres in extent, and that they are set
ting the stakes for the foundations of
the shops.
1t is further stated by the same au-
thority that Swift & Co, who lately
closed the big stock yards deal in this
city, are heavy stockholders in the
has had not a little to do with the COM
pany's alleged decision to remove their
shops from Horton and Trenton and
consolidate them at this point.
Attempts have been made to inter-
view the surveyors on South Eleventh
street but they have CURLY declined
to be pumped" In the absence of Of
fetal Information, this rumor, coming
as it does from a most trustworthy
source and being most positively af-
firmed as an assured fact, is published
for what it is worth, leaving its truth to
be demonstrated or disproven by the
future movements of the company.

ALL NEVADA WILL GO.
Admission to the Fight to be Made 81
by Legislative Enactment.

Carson, New, Feb. "a bill has been
introduced in the senate providing that
the admission to any glove contest held
in Nevada shall not exceed one dollar.
The bill will probably pass.
Reno, New. 3-The prize fight still
continues to be the chief topic of con-
versatiOn in all communities IN the
western part of the state Strenuous
efforts are being made against the pro-
posed fight coming off in Nevada, but
the advocates of opposition are Woefully
in the minority. An indignation meet
ing was held here Sunday evening and
on Monday several people from this
place went to Carson to see what could
be done to prevent Corbett and Fitz-
simmons meeting in this state.
The press of Nevada, with perhaps
two or three exceptions, is entirely non
commital on the subject, and as the ma
jority of the people are evidently in ia
vor of the new law, and great many
who do not believe in prize fighting, yet
always want to be with the biggest
crowd, give their silent assent, the re-
formers are finding it somewhat diff
cult to make any Roadway.
The citizens of Reno generally regard
the fight as a good thing for the state
and are working to secure the attrac-
ton at this place, for the advent of the
several thousand strangers that may
REASONABLY be expected to witness the
great contest will in a measure adver-
tise the states climate and the health

BALM FOR PRINCES WOUND
The Prince Chimay Gets $4,000
Francs Alimony Yearly.

Charleroi, Feb. 3-The public prose-
cutor in the Chimay divorce case in
opening before the civil tribunal yes
terday. congratulated himself upon
having demanded that the case be
heard in chambers, thus preventing
the publication of the princess letters,
of which fragments have leaked out
The princess, in one of these letters to
her husband, said:
IT have been unable to raise myself to
your level, and do not wish you to
descend to nine.''
Another letter written to the princes
secretary the day following the scene
in the cafe expressed jealousy of RIGGS
attention to his wife, and still another
letter written to the head of the Cara
man family, said:
Il am going to quit the prince for fear
of scandal-perhaps of tragedy"
The public prosecutor also said let
tiers would show that if the princess was
culpable she was also unfortunate, and
he concluded by demanding that RIGGS
name should be cited in judgment in or
der to prevent him from marrying the
princess
The court, after half an hours dis
cussion, pronounced the verdict of di-
vorce for the prince. The court found
the charge of adultery proved by the
confessions of the princess which jus
titled the prince in bringing the action,
and granted the prince $4,000 francs al
imony yearly with the care of the chill
dren. The sentence also condemns the
princess to pay the costs of the suit
and allows her to see her children for
an hour once a month in the presence OF
some one selected by the prince.

MARK TWAIN ISN'T HARD UP
He Writes a Cheerful Letter to His
Brother at Keokuk.

Keokuk Feb. 3.-Orion Clements, a
brother of Mark Twain, has received a
letter from the noted humOrist. who is
temporarily sojourning in London, Eng
land, written III a most cheerful and en-
couraging style. The letter, while largely
of personal nature and which Mr.. Glenn
ems refuses to make public. does not even
hint at anything like the desperate
straights mentioned in recent cablegrams
from the English capital. On the con-
trary. Mark Twain wrote hopefully of the
future and of his family affairs.
The brother here says that Mark has
been very much depressed and exceeding
ly low spirited since the death of a faV-
orite daughter and his moroseness aris-
ing from grief, he thinks. has probably
given rise to the stories sent out about
his personal and financial condition.
