Keith County's Dry Ditch.

The Citizens Savings and Loan associa-
ton Of Cleveland, o., has brought suit in
the United States court to force collection
on the interest due on $35, 900 of Keith
county bonds, issued some ten years ago to
Scion L. Wiley, formerly of this city.
Some ten years ago the people Of Keith
county concluded that they wanted a canal
through which they could run water that
could be used for power and ~irrigating pur-
poses. Scion L. Wiley agreed to construct
this canal for $S5, 900. taking the bonds Of
the county In payment. The bonds were voted
and the ditch was dug, but the thing never
held water and all that they have ever had
to show for their money has been q dry
ditch, beginning at no place and ending at
about the same locality.
After getting the bonds. Wiley sold them
to the Cleveland bank, which concern tried
to collect interest but was met with the OBJ
lection that there was a ditch but NO canal,
the contention being that Wiley failed to
comply with the conditions required OF him
by the contract and as a result the bonds
were void.

The case against Van Alstine. wherein he

Anderson and q lot Of testimony introduced.
All OF this testimony tended to show that the

FATE OF THE EXPOSITION
Mass Meetings This Week Will Settle the
Enterprise One Way or Other.
EXPRESSION OF PUBLIC SENTIMENT
Promoters Anxious to Learn Just To
What Extent the Opposition or
Support of the Plan May be
Relied Upon.

W mass meetings have been called this
week the result Of which will probably de-
termine whether the exposition project will
be pushed to completion or the buildings
and other property disposed of and removed.
The retailers OF the city will meet at the
Commercial club Tuesday night and on
Wednesday evening the subscribers to the
stock Of the enterprise will meet in the
council chamber in the city hall. Pending
the expressions Of these meetings no fur
Their action will be taken by the men who
are pushing the exposition.
One Of the gentlemen who have been
prominent in the undertaking says that II
any considerable opposition develops it is
felt that the idea should not be carried
further. But he suggests that the opinion
OF 10 per cent OF the people cannot be con-
sidered an expression Of public sentiment.
II the opposition Is merely confined to a
few OF the jobbers and some Of the country
merchants there Is no reason why the I'M
dertaking should not be consummated. But
II 1t is more general In its character. no
one Is disposed to carry 1t on In the face
OF public sentiment.
The opinion prevails in some quarters
that the antagonism Of the country mer-
chants to another exposition has been ex-
aggerated. A local exposition man, who re-
turned Sunday from a trip during which
he visited Columbus. Grand Island and a
number OF other Nebraska cities, says that
he finds the sentiment among the retailers
pretty fairly divided. Some OF them talk
against the exposition on the ground that II

Establishments, but others declare that Q

Judge Munger Hears a Suit Concern

Munger Hears a Suit Concern
ing nm Alleged Irregular ISSUE.
The time Of Judge Munger Of the United
States court Is being m,nopolized by the
hearing OF the case Of John Martin Clapp,
an eastern bond buyer, against Otoe county,
this state. The origin of the suit dates back
to 1885, at which time the Missouri Pacific
railroad ran around Nebraska City, leaving
the town some six miles from the main line
Of the road.
Along In 1886 the residents OF Nebraska
City concluded that 1t would be a good thing
to have the Missouri Pacific in their town
and consequently they held a meeting with
the officials, who promised that II right-of-
way and depot grounds could be secured
without cost to the company the road would
be run into their town. "A committee COM
prising eighty OF the citizens OF the town
was appointed and they went to work to
secure the right-of-way and the depot
grounds. They had to expend considerable
money and late in the fall Of 1886 an cleo
tion was held for the purpose Of voting
bonds in the sum Of $50, 1000, the proceeds
Of which were to be turned over to these
men who had so advanced their own money.
The bonds carried and were issued in due
time and afterwavd sold to some bank that
subsequently assigned them to the defendant
In the present suit.
For nine years interest was paid. but
about that time the people discovered that
there is no law for voting bonds to reim-
burse private citizens for money expended
in aiding a railroad company and also that
there was a legal defect in this. that certain
lands were taken into the corporate limits
OF Nebraska City. the municipality against
which the bonds were a claim. without pur.
suing the course provided by the statutes
Of the state. some time ago the state courts
enjoined the collection Of the interest upon
the bonds and now 1t is sought to have the
entire debt declared void.
