PURSES TO Be GUARANTEED
Business Men Contributing Literally
to August Races.

E. B. Kaufman, j. e. Haase and
P. NJ. Barrett were out little while
yesterday afternoon soliciting funds
to defray the expense of and to guar
antee the purses of the coming race
meeting which win be held August
Is, 16 and II. The business men seen
contributed literally to the fund and
if the remainder of the canvass proves
as successful as it has thus far good
cash fund will be raised to guarantee
the payment of all purses. The pros
poets for the race meeting continue to
grow brighter, and now that the mon
ey is practically in sight to meet re-
quirements there seems only one OBJ
stacle which might interfere with a
most successful racing tournament,
and that would be bad weather But
this season, when there is some time
between showers, it would seem that
the middle of August will give three
days of dry weather if ever.

PIERCE PLEASURE PLACE.
Enterprisine People of That Town
Provide Picnic Grounds.

Pierce Call: l.. II. Hertert, II, H..
Mohr and several others have inter
ested themselves in the improvement
of an island in the Elkhorn river just
south of the residence of the Duff
ranch, north of town. The place was
known eight or ten years ago as Suck
storf's park and was at the time made
quite a pleasure resort. At that time,
however, it was a sort of peninsula
connected with the land. Too much
Sunday carousal put a ban on the
place and for the last eight or nine
years the place has been forgotten.
Since the gas launch was put on our
river several excursions have been
made up the river and 1t was found
that the river had cut through the
neck of the old park, leaving beauti-
full island of about two and one-half
acres, with huge box elder trees, ash
and willow, furnishing complete
shade. Mr.. Hartert circulated paper
last week for subscription to clea" off
and fix up the island for camping
and pleasure resort. Tuesday Messrs.
H. II. Mohr, Thos. Chilvers, A. l..
Brande and Douglas Cones, with three
laborers went up to the island and
got it in shape for a camping party
that went up Wednesday. The island
has been cleaned of weeds and under
brush and the trees trimmed of dead
limbs. A fine well, dining table, cook
shanty and many other conveniences
have been made for those who enjoy
camping out.

NEBRASKA CORN CROP.
Wager That it Will be 100000 Bush,

Wager That it Will be 100000 Bush.
els More This Year Than Last.
Daniel Wright, a member of the
Chicago board of trade, passed through
Nebraska last week and on his return
to Chicago reported that Nebraska
would raise not more than two-thirds
of crop of corn. Some of the Chi
cago grain houses took his word for
it and began to send out bullish let.
ters in regard to the corn crop of the
state. ]. H. Hamilton of Omaha
knowing that Wright had misrepre-
sented the local situation, offered to
bet that the crop of the state would
run 100000 over last year, propos-
| ing to take the governments figures
as authority. He placed in the hands
of S. P. Arnot of the Updike Commits
sion company, Chicago, a bet with one
of the firms sending out the bullish
reports.
Tuesday the check was returned to
him with the following letter:
]. H. Hamilton, Omaha, Neb.-My
Dear Mr.. Hamilton: l showed your
| letter to Mr.. Noyes this morning and
asked him to put up his check to cover
the bet. He declined to do, so, say
| ing that he saw no good reason for
putting up the money for such length
of time and that he was willing to
take your word if you would take his,
| told him that in that event | would
have nothing to do with the transac-
ton, but that | would write and in
form you what he had to say, as
could not very we'll responsible for
each end of the bet as long as there
were no stakes up, especially mas
much as | was not party to the bet,
but only negotiated the affair.
He suggested | return your check,
which | herewith do. You will kindly
advise me whether or not you wish
the bet to stand on his word or wheth.
er you will declare it off. Yours truly
S. p. Arnot.
Mr.. Hamilton firmly believes the
state will raise 100000 bushels more
corn this year than last year, and he
takes the fact that Mr.. Noyes refused
to put up the money as evidence that
he doesn't place much faith in Mr.
Wright's report.
