PLANS FURTHER HELP.
$44.90. YET REMAINS UNSPEN1
The Sum of $494.90 Was Collected am
$450 Was Paid for One Carload o
Flour Provisions Will be Collectei
From Country for Another.
The citizens' committee , appolnlei
to collect funds , for the purchase o
relief supplies for San Francisco , havi
thought It best to publish a list o
moneys received by the commltleo ant
a Btalemcnt .of funds paid out , thin
accounting to the public for the fundi
which were collected. It was at firs
the thought of the commltleo Unit n <
publicity would bo made of the mattot
as publicity In charily work Is an un
desirable quantity , but It wns later do
termincd , from the fncl that commit
tees In the past have been criticised a
times for not making a public account
Ing , that It would bo more In accon
with good business policy lo shov
what had become of the money.
The commlllco who had charge o
the work were Mr. Wlt/.lgmnn , D
Mnthowson and C. C. Gow. They lmv (
collecled In $194.90. They have pal <
to the Sugar City Cereal Mills $4D <
for a carload of flour and have now r
balance of $14.90 on hand.
An effort Is being made lo collcc
enough supplies from the countryside
around Norfolk lo make another car
load of provisions nnd the romaluliif
money will bo used for the purpose o
buying more flour to go In that car.
The money collected was as follows ;

Boating Precaution.
Norfolk , April 21. Editor News : As
the boating season Is approaching ,
would It not bo well for the city to
guard against accidents such as wo
bad last season by maintaining two
wli'o cables across the dam at the
dangerous point , which would not bo
very expensive ?
Had this been done years ago , It
would doubtless have saved the lives
of two of our most worthy citizens.

Sioux City Business Men Plan Big
Trade Excursion.
Sioux City Journal : Boncsteel , S.
D. , last night was chosen by the trade
extension committee of the Commer
cial club as the objective point of a
big trade excursion which will be
made some time in May by the busi
ness men of Sioux City. The trip will
Include Norfolk , O'Neill and several
other towns In northeastern Nebraska.
Over 700 miles will be traversed and
the itinerary will Include a number of
Important towns.
It is the intention of the committee ,
of which John Hornlck is chairman ,
to make the Bonesteel excursion "the
best ever. " Two special coaches will
bo chartered of the Omaha road , and
It Is expected that as many as 100
retailers , jobbers and commission men
will make the trip. A full brass band
will bo taken along , and at each stop
there will bo some kind of a jollifica
tion. The Omaha road has assured
the committee that very low rates can
be secured. Much of the territory to
be covered by the party in the pro
posed route but recently has been giv
en train service Into Sioux : City , and
It Is thought Hint the results of such
a trip will bo particularly valuable.
Commissioner J. H. Osborno was
delegated by the committee to secure
rates for the party. Definite plans
for the excursion will at once be
worked out , and another meeting of
the committee will be called In a few
days to set the date and make final ar
rangements. It is planned to leave
Sioux City In the morning , probably
on Wednesday , and return Saturday
afternoon. No sleeping cars will be
necessary , as the party will spend the
nights In the towns along the way.
Howard G. Pelrce , a member of the
committee , and George W. Waltt , com
mission men at the stock yards , at
tended the meeting , and gave assur
ance that a largo number from the
stock yards will make the trip.
Advertising Is compelling other people

INSURANCE CLAIMS TO BE PAID
Underwriters Say San Francisco Lia
bilities May Reach $200,000,000.
Chicago , April 25. Notwithstanding
Iho fact that ( lie liabilities of the va
rious companies on Snn Francisco
losses will probably reach $150,000,000
and may go to $200,000,000 , 11 IH con
ceded by the best Informed underwrit
ers that no company will lack sulll-
cient resources to pny up every claim
In full , ns was prophesied on Friday.
Some may bo forced to reinsure and
go out of business. A few frightened
pollcylioldors have visited the olilces
of some of the local companies and
agencies nnd tried to cancel tholr pol
icies , but when they wore advised to
wait for a week they promptly com
piled.
The great majority of pollcyholders
arc standing together along with the
agents In an effort to save every com
pany from any serious trouble. In
general all Interests are united In the
belief that the best good of all com
panies and on all pollcylioldors will
bo conserved only by taking the dis
aster coolly , nt least until some idea
of the exact losses sustained by each
company can bo nscertnlned.
This much Is certain : all companies
Involved will stand together and help
each other If necessary. Although
some of the weaker companies prob
ably will succumb to the pressure of
claims , they will pay all liabilities In
full. If their resources are not sulll-
clent for this , they will bo aided by
stronger companies.
Insurance men are confident thatn
liberal policy will be taken by all In
terests Involved. On account of this
fact no ono need bo alarmed over the
situation. The pollcyholders , at least ,
are safeeverywhere. . Should some of
the weaker companies go out of busi
ness their patrons will be taken care
of by other companies.
Policyholdora are advised by all
agents to wait at least a week before
making changes. At that time It maybe
bo found that companies which appear
now to ho the heaviest losers are In
bettor condition than others. This
will undoubtedly bo the case with a
few of the companies which have con
sidered reinsurance In other compa
nies.
nies.The
The basis of the adjustment of losses -
es still Is only conjecture with local
underwriters. Just how liberal the
compainos can be In meeting liabil
ities is hard to determine.
