The discovery. It will bo rcmembcml , was made at the bottom of H deep well and after the as nj8 had been pronounced most encouraging by the smelter people thn whole matter suddenly dropped out of sight The statement Is now made that work will bo resumed this fall by a company to bo organised among the owners nf farm1 ; In that localItv. When It was announced that there was a show of gold some enterprising party secured options on about all the land In that part of the state. The options covered n period of six months and provided that the owners of the land would part with their holdings at any tlmo within that limit at the rate of J75 per aero The party vvho Eccurod the options did not pay down any money and the farmers soon came to the conclusion that they had signed n Jughandlc agreement , Under thnio conditions the farmers would not give an > assistance In putting down a shaft , as some one else would reap all the reward of any discoveries that might bo made The man who had put down the original well would not sell though It was said that he was offered as much as $20000 for twenty acres Without money the work cnmc to a standstill The options on I heir land will expire in October and the farmers say that they will then organize a company and put down prospecting shafts which will settle for all time the question as to whether gold bear ing rock exists In pnvlng quantities In the vicinity of Calhoun South Omaha News One daj last week warrants were Issued to the Martin Lumber company for $5,188 for the viaduct repairs , nnd Friday the lumber company sur-d the city for the amount. Ac cording to the contract thccompany wns to wait for two weeks after the Issuing of the warrants before suit was brought These warrants are drawn on "lhe Q and L stieet viaduct fund , " which was pi esumably created by assessing the cost ot the icpalrs up against the Union Pnclflc nnd the Union Stock Yaids Railway companies The rall- loadn have not paid any of this assessment nnd It Is presumed they will not. Some taxpajers held that the city attorney ought to light the cas.0 . on the ground that the lumber company should look to the railways for Its pay and not to the city. The city , it Is said by lawjers , is powerless to make a contract to confess judgment In a case like- this Citizens interested In this case are watch ing the movements of city officials and In junctions bavo been threatened as soon as the council , by resolution , directs the city attorney to confess Judgment for the amount sued for. \\hlle on this subject It might bo InterestIng - Ing for the people to know what the two viaducts have cost the ta\pa > crs so fat. The L street viaduct cost , when built , In cluding extras , $41,870. The Q stieet con- tiact price was $37300. To this amount must bo added § U,59S for the retaining wall at the eibt appioach ot the bildgo , which was washed out once nnd had to be rebuilt The repairs In 18')3 ) cost $5,188. When the viaducts were built lu 18S9 , $78,000 In bonds , to jun foi five years at C per cent Intel eat , were Issued to pAy for the same These bonds ran out and funding bonds to take their place weie Issued , to diaw 5 pel cent Interest The expense can be summarized as follows Total first cost $88,708 , repaiis , $3188 , Interest on $78,000 bonds , at C per cent for ( ho vcnrs , $23 , If" , Intel est on funding bonds to , > V > * c , ! < 800 which makes a total "f Ji.'j.lSO. This does not inolui'o repairs made by the street commissioner , the building of steps to > the Q street bridge , the repairs to the Iron piers , etc Al together , the two bridges have cost the taxpayers in seven jears about $120.000. TJovv both viaducts are badly in need of paint , and should have it In order to pro tect thq Iron work , but there Is no money to pay for the work. The wcaiiug off of the paint brings to light some very poor material that was used by the contractors Even today , with all the money that has been spent , neither ot the -viaducts are con- sldciod any too ssf , aud It Is a qucstlo , whethei they would hold up a heavily loaded motor tialn shoul I th car line be extended around Thlrty-thlul street. \ \ us n I-rionil t f ( lie Poor.

Mrs. Carrie Ramce , widow and solo devisee of the late Frank Rnmge , has commenced n suit lit the district court w.hlch contains a scries of charges against prominent and leading citizens which arc somcwiut ! start ling The defendants arc the Interstate Hotel company , the Interstate Improvement com pany , the Crelghton Theater Uultdlng com pany , O , it. Carter , J. A. McShane , C > J Karbaeh , J E JUnrkel , W. A. I'axton , Q C Uarlon , L 1) . Williams and John A. Crclgh- ton. The petition Is a very lengthy docu ment and sets forth that Ramgc and the de fendants named above , on November 1 , 1802 , formed a corporation under the name of the Interstate Hotel company for "the puiposc of erecting anne hotel building at the south west corner of fifteenth and Harnoy streets. It Is alleged that Ramge was Induced to enter the company on account of the fact that the proposed hotel would be directly opposite the business block belonging to him Ho subscribed for $10,000 worth of stock and borrowed the money from the Merchants' National bink to pay for It , the defendant , Paxton , signing a four months' note with him as Joint maker. This money was paid for the stock and 100 shares of stock issued to Rnmgo. It Is further alleged that the company purchased the two lota and ft part of the adjoining lot , all at the southwest corner of Fifteenth nnd Harney streets , for $125,000 , applying the $10,000 paid by Ramge on the purchase price Excavations for n hotel building were made , and It Is alleged that no furthei action was taken nt that time It Is further asserted In the petition that Ramge was declared Insane August 1 , 1S94 , and the defendant Paxton , was appointed guardian. January 2 , 1S95 , it is alleged Paxtou fllcd an application In the county court asking that he be authorized to con sent , as guardian of Ramge , to a change In the name of the Interstate Hotel company to that of the Interstate Improvement corn- piny , and that ho also be authorized to vote the stock at meetings of the stockholders and to deposit the stock as collateral se curity for the payment of the note given to the Merchants' National bank. The order was entered by the court , and a short time afterward a slmlllar request was nied , asking that consent be given to a change of name of the company to that of the Crelghton Theater Building company , for the reason that a company was already In existence under the name of the Interstate Improve ment company. This request was also granted , It being charged In the petition that these proceedings were entirely without the knowledge or consent of the plaintiff or of any of the creditors of Ramgc CHARGES OF MISAPPROPRIATION. The petition further charges that febru ary 23 , 1815 , without the knowledge or con sent of the plaintiff or any of the creditors of Ramgo. amended articles of incorporation iwere ( lied , changing the name of the com- . .p.into ; time of the Crelghton Theater Build ing company. It Is further alleged that Ramgo died March 25 , 1895 , and the plaintiff was made his solo devisee and executrix. The debts against the estate are said to aggregate $30,000 , and fears are expressed that the estate will not be sufficient to pay the debts The defendants are charged with having misappioprlatcd the money paid by Ramge and with having used it for purposes known to be In direct opposition to his well known wishes Their acts in this particular are alleged to have been ultra vires and void The acts of Paxton as guardian and the order of the county court are also alleged to have been void , and it is further alleged that the orders Issued by the county court did not authorize n change in the funda mental object of the company In which Ramge had bought stock , but simply author ized Paxton to consent , as guardian , to a change of name. The petition then charges that It was never the Intention of the Incorporators of the company to erect a hotel on the prop er ! } In question , but that It was purchased In puisucnce of n secret agreement to rc- llovo John A McShane , W. A. Paxton and John A. Crelghton from a covenant to erect an expensive business block under an agree ment with the Boston Ground Rent com pany. H Is charged that the defendants hod no power to apply the $10,000 paid by Ramge to any purpose but that set forth In the original articles of Incorporation of the company and that no one had any power to hypothecate the shares of stock owned by Rarage as collateral security for the pay ment of the note held by the Merchants National bank. It is also charged that the theater building is moitgaged for $100,000 , and the court Is asked to appoint a re ceiver for the collection of the rents , and the court Is asked to decree that the plain tiff bo given a judgment against the de fendants for $10,000 , and that the judgment bo declared n first Hen against the prop erty referred to and that the same be sold to satisfy the Judgment.

The usual conference of the soliciting committees ot thff Transmlsslsslppl Exposi tion was'held at the Commercial club rooms last night. Owing -to the wreck caused by the storm U was neoessary to hold the meetIng - Ing In one of the rear rooms. Only four of the committees \erc represented nt the con fercnce , nnd , after comparing notes , the secretary announced that the amount col lected during thov week was about $20,000 Of this amount ( hd greater part was sub scribed by the emplo > cs of the strict rail way company , the niotormen , conductors and house men The list sent In , from this source showed that 35S cmplocs had sub scribed $12r.CO , tha amounts vaiji"K from $30 to $100. In this connection the following Is a copy of n letter sent to President Frank Mtirph ) of the Street Railway company by Secretary Wakeflcld of the Exposition com pany My Dear Sir I beg to acknowledge re ceipt from > ou of subscription lists Nos l.Oiil to 1,020 Inclusive contnlnlng thereon Hiibscrlptlons of emplojcs of the Omaha Sticet Knllvvnv company , 35S subscriptions fet the amount of 1,256 shnlts of stoek to the Triinsinlsslsslppl nnd International Ex position To wiv that the street car bojs have done well is tin put It mildly Indeed Tlu-y have done iiobl5 , nnd on behalf ot the management of the exposition I desire to acknowledge receipt of subscriptions nnd express to you and to the subscribe- their tliynk.s ami nprcclatlon for this very ma terial aid This makes a total of $22,500 contributed toward the exposition by thu sticet railway company and its employe's , the company having subscribe 1 $10,000 last week. The total amount of stock subscribed to date Is still a long way from the $300,000 , which must bo subscribed before tl.c gov ernment appropriation becomes available. The tcturus made to the secretary show that there has been only about $170,000 sub scribed. The committees report great diffi culty In getting the heaviest property own ers nnd the monejed men of the city to subscribe. The saino difficulty hns also been encountered In the cases ot some of the largest mercantile and manufacturing estab lishments In the city Some of the latter have refused , point blank , to subscribe n cent , and others have offeic'd to subscribe an amount so Insignificant that the commit tees have refused to accept it. Ow Ing to the smalt attendance at the meeting last night It was decided not to transact any business , but to continue the work of soliciting for another week nnd another conference will probably be held at the same place next Saturday evening. cSi2 ! ! xTLiTAj y MW 11 JCl l * . ij The Woodward company had two big houses nt the Crelghton yesterday , present ing "Uncle Tom's Cabin" at the matinee nnd "Bcbsle the Romp" in the evening It gives "My Uncle" at the mntlneo today and a new production of "Pawn Ticket No 210" at night.

It Is an Hem worthy of note that there Is now a spirit of unanimity nnd a desire to co-operate among the real cstnto men of the city such as has not existed before for a long time. Snld a dealer the other day "I hnve been a member of nearly all the real estate organizations of Omaha for the past ten jonrs and I have never seen such friendliness and unity among real estate men "Tlio Heal Estate exchange is not what It should bo In point of numbers. If , cry dealer in the city should belong to It It would then hnvo at least a hundred members. A dollar subscribed by each would mean $100 , ami $10 subscribed by each for any project would mean $1,000 In their action one man's strcnght would bo multiplied one hundred fold There never was a time when the Heal Estate exchange could do as much good by united action as now. Omaha nnd Nebraska are again coming Into prominence nnd prosperity and better times are In sight. Good crops and the Exposition should put new llfo and faith Into every man In the business Real estate men are the pioneers of every advance movement , nnd while hav ing an organization of their own they should Join with every other association having for Its object the upbuilding of the rlty of Omaha. They should bo a pillar of strength to the Exposition directory. The Exposition project challenges the best efforts nnd all the energy of every real estate man i In the cltj. No body of men can advertise I the Exposition as well as they If thuy will take hold of It. They are experts In ad vertising and In this direction there Is u big opportunity for work. NEEDS ADVERTISING. "The people of Omaha regard the Expo sition as an assured fact , jet those people who travel bring back the news that very little of anvthlng Is known about It bcjoml the borders of Nebraska except in those sec tions of the country were special com mittees of the Exposition managers have spread the news. All organisations , Includ ing labor , civic , religious and business should do all they can In the way of advertising the Exposition , but the Real Estate exchange is the right organization to be at the head of the advertising bureau , nnd to systcnntl- cally , persistently and properly keep the project before the people. "Some one h-s suggested that much might bo done by getting out-of-town owners of real estate to mention the project In their local papers. There are distinguished , as well as medium class people all over the United States who have holdings In Omaha who would bo glad , It not to contribute money , at least to speak of the matter favorably In their particular localities Mrs Cleveland was at one time an owner of Omaha real estate. Wade Hampton of South Carolina has a block of ground here. George Francis Train's Interests may still amount to something. Any of these people and scores of others of equal prominence , If Informed of the scope and magnitude of the great fair proposed to be held here would bo glad , no doubt , to spicad the news nnd favorably advertise the matter. The financial and business managerh of the concern should plan a great show on a broad scale , worthy of the endorsement of the best people of the land , and then the Real Estate ex change should systematically advertise the project from one end of the laud to the other.
