TIIE OMAHA DAILY BEEt WBDKESDAV , XOVEHBER 2 , EXPOSITION THE DAY AFTER Great White City the Scene of Another Sort of Activity. EXHIBITORS HURRYING to GET AWAY Iiivtnllntlonn nUnpiM-nr n If hy Mimic and the Interior IJeauly VniilwheH KM Illd the Ulterior of the Mliliriiy on Monday Muht. What has been accomplished during the l t twenty-four hours toward the removal of the exposition exhibits Is amazing. Ex hibits that It required weeks to Install have disappeared as though they had been spirited away by some magic Influence. Already on the doors of huge barren spaces appear the 'big ' buildings and clsowhcro hugo cases of material are packed and ready for ship ment. When the mallcarriers raado tholr rounds yesterday scores of tholr customers could not bo found. They had gone , taking away all their luggage and the letters were returned to the office. While It will require aomo tlmo ( o dispose of some of the heavier * nd bulkier articles the bulk of the ex hibits will bo entirely cleaned out before the * nd of the week. The exhibitors will re ceive their medals and diplomas and hun dreds of them will be out of the city. The few hundred people- who visited the exposition grounds yesterday morning had to look twice to convince themselves that they bad reached the right place. Much that was familiar had disappeared and orderly activity had been succeeded by silence. The glamour had departed and evidences of dissolution wcro everywhere apparent. The remains of the revelry of the night before stre\vc < l the streets with debris until they looked as though they had been the scene of a gen eral dot. Bottles , broken glasses , strips of toard and bunting , hundreds of signs that had been snatched from concessions and res taurants and other selected brlc-a-brao wcro scattered In profusion. Hero and there a hat , battered and mud-stained , remained as evidence that the owner had participated In the carnival of the night before. On the West Midway a woman's headgear of the newest autumn style was perched on the pinnacle of a pagoda as a conclusive Indica tion that it was not exclusively a masculine function. The story of the midnight gayety was repeated In a thousand Inanimate ob jects that suggested the "hot time" of the preceding hours. On the Midway the Indications ot revelry were especially conspicuous. Concessions wcro minus everything that was movable or could be torn away. Expensive signs were scattered In splinters along the street nnd handsome medallions and panels that had ndorned the more pretentious structures were shattered and destroyed. Some of the smaller buildings looked aa It they had been through a cyclone and all were closed and deserted. Came to Move the Fair. In other parts of the grounds the change was equally striking. Hundreds ot express wagons were waiting to begin the work ot carrying away the exhibits and a large pro portion of the exhibitors were already at work packing their goods. In Manager Dab- cock's office there waa a continuous line of from twenty to fifty people waiting their turn to secure permits to move. In the other of- Jlees routine work was going on ns usual , the clerks working hard to close up their accounts and get their books Into shape for the final balance sheet. No Immediate changes are likely to bo made In the office force. It will require some tlmo to get the business of the big enterprise thoroughly checked up and straightened out and there Is a vast amount of routine connected with closing out the exhibits and concessions that will require attention. The outside force has already been materially reduced and raoro employes will bo dismissed In a day or two. The Admissions department has re tained only enough outside men to keep two gates open one at Twenty-fourth street and ono at Sherman avenue. The pass gnto at Manderson street Is also retained , but the remainder o ( tbo ticket sellers and gate keepers have been dismissed. Only a lew of the employes of the Concessions depart ment remain on the pay roll and the entire street gang ot the Buildings and Grounds department had been dropped. The force ol 200 guards will bo reduced to about sixty tomorrow and other reductions will follow as rapidly as possible. The task of packing and shipping the gov ernment exhibit wv.'j begun bright nnd carl ) this morning. The big traps In the flooi wcro raised , tackle rigged from the ratten and the huge cases were lifted from th < basement ready to bo filled. Secretary GOJ expects that It will require about three weeks to pack the entire exhibit and mosi of the heads ot departments will remain roi some tlmo to see that the work Is proper ! } done. Secretary Cox and Major Ward of tni War department will probably bo the lasi to leave. Midway Men May Conic lliu'k. An agent who purported to represent tin Individuals who propose to organize a conv pany to rejuvlnate the exposition for 189 ! visited nearly ail the concessions yesterda ; and assured the proprietors that the schcmi was certain to bo a go. He advised then to leave their affaire lit such shape tha they could reopen next summer , us the ; would bo sure to have the opportunity. AI there Is no big exposition scheduled for nex year. It promises to bo an oft year wltl the amusement vendors and most of then welcome the Idea of another year In Omaha where they have made bigger profits than a any exposition since the World's fair. Out th KxlitMtH. Within half an hour after the exposition grounds closed Monday "night several nun dred men were at work In the big building along the Main court tearing down the ex hlblts which It required weeks to Install The work progressed rapidly during th balance ot the night , all day yesterday am all last night. It the rate ot speed Is kcp up It Is pretty certain that about all th exhibits will be out of the buildings , wltl the exception ot the Government building Aojer's Sarsaparilla Not the kind made simply to sell. v , None can match its record of over half a century of cures. by Saturday night , providing cars can bo ncctircd to bo lined In shipping. Last night the Horticulture building waa ridded of ItB contents , with the exception o ! Los Angeles county , ' California , and thu Idaho exhibit ) ) . Much of the stuff was taken by htickstora , who wcro at thu gates Iti droves during the greater portion of the day. The Nebraska exhibit was nil donated to charitable ! Institutions , while that of Doug las county went to the county hospital. In the Machinery building fully half of the exhibits were packed nnd ready for ship ment last night. About all that remains now In place nro the heavy pieces of ma chinery , which will bo the last to leave the building Complete chaos reigns In the Agriculture building , where thc.ro wcro largo quantities of shenf crnln. Yesterday this was scat tered about the floor , littering , the building from ona end to tbo other. Moat of the small stuff and the bottles of grain have been packed and will go out as rapidly as teams can bo secured to do the hauling. The Government building was closed to nil callers and admission Is secured only by permit. Inside nearly 100 men were en- ; aged In packing tha exhibits , most of which lave to bo handled with great care. The sh were disposed of during the day by bo ng taken from the pools and placed In the egular tanks , which will be Htowed away In lie fish car as soon as It can bo switched to ho grounds. Other llulIilliiffK. In the Manufactures building most of the tuff was taken out during the day , some laving been sent out late Monday night , lost of the exhibits In this building will bo cmovcd within the next two days , as a greater portion of them belong to local ex- ilbltors , who will simply transfer them rom the grounds to their respective places f business In the city and nearby towns. Over in the Art building little ; progress vos made In getting the exhibits ready for hlpmcnt , as an auction sale of pictures was jclng carried on , and this Interfered with ho work of packing up. In the Liberal Arts and Mines buildings ot EO much progress was mndo as In the tructures on the north side of the lagoon , n the latter building the heavy articles vcro removed from the tables which they mvo occupied , while the Bmajlcr ones were > elng wrapped preparatory to shipment. In ho former building a good deal of care hade o bo exercised In handling the goods and onsequently the work of preparing for re moval was slow. Much of the stuff In all the big buildings vlll remain on the floors until cars can bewitched witched onto the grounds , when it will bo oaded out and ncnt to Its destination. These cars will bo sent In on the grounds as eon ns the tracks , which were burled last prlng , can be uncovered , which will be omo tlmo today. MAY OIVB OMAHA THE IIUILBIXG. Minnesota CoinnilHuInn Contemplate * MukliiK \otnlilc Donation. The city of Omaha elands an excellent ihance of acquiring the Minnesota building or a park house for Rlvervlow pork. Whether or not It secures the building will bo known to a certainty next Thursday , vhen the Minnesota commission holds Its nceting In St. Paul. The building cost thfe sum of 110,000 and the proposition Is to do- nnto it to the city of Onlnha , conditioned .hat it Is located In Rlverview park and : hcro maintained as a public park house. Commissioner Field Is strongly In favor ot .ho plan , as is also Secretary Danforth ol ho commission. Both of the members have beem working with their associates on the commission and say that If the full member ship Is In attendance the vote will be IS tc 12 In favor of making the donation. Soon jifter the Minnesota , building -wat : rected Commissioner Field took the post- : lon that the houeo should bo given tc Om ha ns a gift from the state of Minne sota. Ever since , then ho has clung to thU opinion and has advocated it both here nn < ! nt home. At the start a large number ol the memburs of the commission favorcc selling the house , but both Commissionei Field nnd Secretary Danforth arguei against It and showed to the other member ! of the commission the advertising that Mln < nesota will receive by presenting the build' Ing to this city. Ono by ono the members of the commission came over and now then Is a majority In favor of the donation. F. C. Austin , a millionaire of Harvey , 111. has a conditional option upon the Mlnnesoti building , having offered to pay $1,000 for 1 Just an it stands. His option will not bo li effect after November 8 and If the bulldlni U not sold to him prior to that date It wll go to the city , oven If the commlssloi should not pass upon the matter at thi meeting to be held on Thursday. Commissioner Field contends that It b fur better for the state to give the MInne sola building to the city than to sell It fo the paltry sum of $1,000. He says he know : of no better way of continuing the friendl ; relations between Minnesota nnd Omah : than by the former presenting to the latter as a gift , the log house that has been E greatly admired during the last Bummer b ; both strangers nnd townspeople. i\nilHTOHS : SHOW FUIKXHSHir SiiperlntenilciitN Ilerllu anil Tnylo .11 n ( I e Ilvc'liili'iitn < > f Memento * . Superintendent Berlin of the Agrlcultun building was remembered yesterday nooi by the exhibitors who hnvo occupied th < structure during the summer. Vesterda ; morning the exhibitors hei'd a meeting ti the Missouri booth , where and when It wa decided to buy a gold-headed stick. Presl dent Stwrott of the Missouri commlssioi was detailed to purchase the stick and alsi to make the presentation epecch , both o which ho did in a manner n\oat satlsfactor ; to all of the parties concerned In the trnna action. The present was a complete sur prise to Mr. Berlin and was received b ; him with thanks. Ho said he appreciate ! the gift very much and that he appreciate ! the good will of the exhibitors much mor than money. Over at the Horticulture building a num her of the exhibitors gathered and sen ono of their number over to the offlco o Superintendent Taylor to notify him tha they wcro very much dissatisfied with som of the detail work that he had been per forming with reference to the dlsplaccmcn of the exhibits. Tbo superintendent re sponded promptly , but could not remembe an Instance wherein he had Incurre-d th displeasure of any ono. Upon reaching th building he found a group of men engage' ' In holding a spirited conversation. H heard his name mentioned and at one pushed his way through the crowd am asked the cause of the trouble. He wa Informed that during the last summer h has been closely watched and as none o the exhibitors will bo able to watch bin In the future , they had all clubbed to gethcr and had purchased a watch to assls In the undertaking. With these words Superintendent porintendent Taylor was presented with valuable gold watch , a gift from the ex blbltoru In the building. Mr. Taylor de clared that ho wau unabfo to express hi thanks In words , but assured all preaen that ho would always remember the las five months as ono ot the moat cnjoyabl periods of hU life. r.'oniiiliiliit from the i&lilultor : . There 1s general complaint by exhibitor on account of Uie delay that they experlenc In securing permits to move their goodi Thcru was only one man In Manager Bab cock's otDco yesterday to attend to a amount of work that would have kept ha ] n doztfl busy. The exhibitors secured thel orders for pfrmlts , had their wagons read aud wcro then compelled to stand ID lln for ono nnd frequently two hours In order to secure their permit. fiooilTill UK for UouKlnn County. Superintendent Walker , who bad charge of the Douglan county horticultural exhibit from the opening to tbo close of the exposi tion , In discussing its effect upon fruit rats- Ing In tbo county , said : "I am satisfied with the showing that wo made. During the last five months wo have exhibited n greater variety of fruit than any of the states outside of Nebraska. 'VYe have shown every variety of fruit known to this latitude and It has equalled that from the Irrigated regions of the wcat. I think the Douglas county exhibit will have much to do In thu way of Increasing the acreage planted to fruit In this county. The exhibit was care fully studied , by not only those from abroad , but also by our own people , who heretofore have never gone Into fruit raising. They were surprised to what an extent the In dustry can be carried on and next season hundreds of the fanners will add many trcoa to their orchards. " Regarding apples and grapes , Mr. Walker said : "Wo have furnished the most conclu sive evidence ofwhat the county can do nnd In the future I predict that the commis sion men will look more to encouraging homo Industry than they have in the past. The award of the Judge , who gave us n dozen gold and as many silver medals on our fruit , shows conclusively that we ralso not only fine berries , pears and peaches , but apples and grapes that are world beatecs. "In my Judgment the exposition has been worth thousands of dollars to the fruit men of the county and next year they will find a market for all of the fruit that they can raise. The market will not bo entirely local , but will include the towns and cities ot all of the adjoining states. " Cold Wntoh I'renentcd to limes , Just before the. program closed Rev. T. J. Mackey presented the great bandmaster with a beautiful gold watch , suitably In- schlbed on behalf of the band , Mr. lines made a speech , but It could not be icaril owing to the tremendous ovation nnd eng applause that greeted him. Kotca of the The Kansas etate building has been pur- hased by O. E. Carlson , who will wnvk Hie tructure and use the timbers and nnterlals n the construction of barns and outhouses. 'he ' purchase price was $150. Fifty of the exposition guards were mus- crcd out of service yesterday. An addl- lonal cut la expected , as it Is proposed to merely keep enough men In service to pro- ect the buildings and their contents from re and vandalism. A meeting of the Board of Director ? cl ho exposition has ber-n called for next Frl- ay afternoon at 3 o'clock. The cal' ' provides hat all matters pertaining to general busi ness shall be discussed. The meeting will e held in the rooms In the administration arch. Prof. VanDeman , who judged the hortl- ultural exhibit , left for Washington last night. Before going he said : "Tho exposl- lon was the greatest success of the age. V las shown that there Is no end to the ro- ourccs of the west and It has also been if great benefit to the whole of the trans- mlsslsslppl country. It has been a great ducator In many ways. " Some of the wildly hilarious crowd thai lopulated the Midway early yesterday morn- ng imccecded In doing some damage to other eatures than the Midway. One gang of un- crupulous revelers got Into the Transporta- lon building and were beginning to tear relics from the Lincoln car , when they were discovered and dispersed. As It was they succeeded In securing a few splinters from portions of the curiosity , but the damage was not serious. Prof. Stevens was the victim of the vandals who strolled up and down the Midway dnr- ng the evening of the close ot the expos- ! : lon. He IB the owner of A very fine store- optlcon plant , which was ston-d In one i > r the side rooms of the -muslo stand.

NEW RIVAL FOR SUGAR TRUST Former Members of the Dltf Company Start Up nil Independent IIe- ilnlnir IMaiK. NEW YORK , Nov. 1. The Times says the new Doscher Sugar refinery begins Its actual output of refined sugar today. Friends ol the now enterprise Insist that through the use of modern apparatus the Doscher plant will bo able to turn out product at nn average - ago of over one-eighth of a cent per pound cheaper than Is possible In the oM refineries , No recent trade event has commanded the Wall street attention which Is given to to day's start by the Messrs. Doschor of thcli competition with the American Sugar Refin ing company , in whoso management for sc many years they wcro conspicuous. Presi dent Havemeyer of the American Sugar Re fining company is quoted as saying to busi ness acquaintances that It is the Doscher and not the Arbucklo competition that he has reason to consider , and from the same quar ter como rather violent predictions ot dread , ful things which the company proposed tc Inflict upon the rash seceders. Ono of ttu first collisions between the Doscbers and the American company will be In the matter o : controlling the patronage of wholesale grocers. Domlnanco In that quarter Is te made the subject of the first test of the Doscher enterprise. DECIDES BIG LUMBER CASE "Demi mill Down" Timber Uoea Xoi Include Tree * ( Jronliijf Amlilnt DIMVH Timber.

AN EXPOSITION NEXT YEAR Proposition to Repeat the Success of 1808 Meets with Encouragement. MAY BE CONDUCTED ON A LARGER SCALE KnthiiMliiNtlc Meeting of Stockholder * of the I.utc Great I'll I r l'u\orH tilling A In-rul irlth n ami Hotter Ono. The plan to repeat next year , oven upon a larger scale , the magnificent Transralssls. slppl and International Exposition that has just passed Into history was launched nt a meeting of stockholders of the now dead exposition company In the city council chamber last night. About 100 of the stock holders were In attendance and with com plete unanimity they placed themselves on record as being In favor of a repetition of the great fair. The wisdom of the well worn saw that nothing Hitccecds like success was empha sized at this meeting. There wcro present in the attendance representatives of the small stockholders and the big stockholders , the humble citizens and tha energetic busi ness and professional men , whose money had brought th'o Into enterprise to such a successful Issue ; there were also present men , come of considerable means , who had not had confidence In the exposition when It was flrat planned. Its , successful Issue In duced the former class to express them selves as willing to subscribe as much and double what they had put iu before ; the latter paid trlbuto to the magnificent re sult by promising to make up for their remlssness In .connection with the coming nnd second exposition. , . Feclliip the I'ulillc I'tilwo. It was not a meeting to secure subscrip tions , but to secure the ( sentiment of ex position btockholders regarding a contin uance ot the exposition next year. The object was fully attained ; there waa but one sentiment and that was enthusiastically In favor of a second exposition. But In addition to this , promised of some $65,000 cash subscriptions were given and not a few of those present agreed to double the amount of etock they have In the present exposition company. With this the meetIng - Ing was satisfied. It was decided to let a committee of ten , to be appointed by the chair , go over the situation to see If the grounds can bo secured , to canvass the prob able subscription list and In fact to examine thoroughly Into the proposed plan. This committee Is to report at another meeting to be held next Friday night In the council chamber. The meeting convened shortly after the city council adjourned Its session and was called to order by President Blngham of that body. J. E. Baum was elected chair man ot the meeting. He In a very few words explained the object of the meeting and Immediately called for expressions of opinion. General Clarkson was the first to bo called upon. General Clarkson stated that the second exposition plan seemed to him entirely feas ible and practicable. It would be an added feather In Omaha's cap , for on top of bring ing an exposition to a successful financial close , the city Is proposing to do something that has never been attempted to repeat an exposition In the succeeding year. There Is no reason why once , a success the exposl- ; tlon should not again be mode a success , for It has not been 'attended ' In the past five months by one-third Of' the people tribu tary to It. Its A < ? qutles and Us magnificence swill-bo adverf AJat'y those ; yvho Jiavo at tended. The plan % on hand. Is In' splendid condition and can easily be Improved upon , Seventy-five per centTot the exhibitors wTll be glad to return and the places of the othsi 25 per cent can ba filled with finer exhibits , As great an attendance will not be required to make it a financial success as was the case with the past exposition. The epeaksi admitted that there are a large number oi obstacles , such as the possible refusal ol the government to make another exhibit , but ho believed that they can all be mas tered. Mr. HoKcwnt < * r' Idem. Mr. Rosewater was called upon next and also expressed himself aa confident of suc cess If the second exposition was properlj managed. He declared that the exposition just closed had been begun under adverse circumstances and conditions nnd its record has been unsurpassed In the history of ex positions of the United States. The question now Is whether this success can bo repeated , It is somewhat doubtful It it could bo undci the same circumstances , but under the ex isting situation another exposition as cred itable may bo the result. Above all thlngE the citizens have gained self-confidence , an essential factor in all undertakings. One thing Is absolutely requisite to have a cer tain amount of money In sight. This time , however , not one-quarter of the amount the present exposition ought to have had when the exposition was started will bo required , Assuming that the grounds as nt present formed can bo secured , Mr. Ttosswator esti mated that $50,000 will be needed to main tain them until tbo opening In tha spring and $150,000 tnoro to embellish them , replace damages , advertise and give bonuses for sev- ernl Important features that cannot otherwise bo secured. It cost $2,000 a day to run the late exposi tion , nnd while this expense may bo cut down by $500 , Mr. Rosewater thought II would be safe to estimate that U will be the same. Therefore ho asserted that the now company should faavo $500,000 behind It. He felt confident that that sum would be secured - cured at the gates and another $100,000 could be secured for concessions , one-half the present exposition company realized , wlthoul charging anything for space. Mr. Hosowater also pointed out that greal obstacles must be overcome. Ho had thoughl i at first , for example , that the probable refusal - ! fusal of the government to put In an exhibit j would bo an insurmountable obstacle , tut ho had come to the conclusion that an ex- 1 blblt from Porto llico , Cuba and other ter ritory recently secured by the United States would bo as great an attraction. Ho said that the men who 'had brought the exposi tion to such a magnificent ending should nol bo called upon to do the work again , bul nevertheless offered to do all In his power to make the proposed exposition as success ful as the one just closed. Major Haiiihletoa'M Riicourairenipiit Major Hambleto'n , secretary of the Illinois commission , urged that after closing the most magnificent exposition next to tin World's Fair over held In the history of the world , Omaha should make a great effori to continue It another year. Ho pointed out , however , that it must not bu held foi the purpose of making money , but b ( planned on the broad piano of bringing credit to the west nnd spreading knowl edge of the resources of the west. The suc cess of the past summer Indicates success next year , for there arc twenty or mon western states which will want to havt buildings on the ground. He advised thai the present exposition managers should hi Invited to have a largo part In the new un < dertakinp , as the almost Insurmountable ob Blades they have overcome have market them as men fitted for the places. Major Wheeler , secretary of the New Yorl elate commission , declared that a second ex position Is a matter that can be proper ! } and easily financiered and -with the consen of neighboring cities nnd towns can be mad < as great a , uuccesa as the post exposition He felt quite certain that the exhibits woulil bo much finer , as eastern merchants an rrr that they did not take advautace ol thn opportunity that has passed. He , ten , declared that less than one-third ot the people ple living right 'about ' Oniahn bad not at tended , Ho Insisted that this resulted from the fact that thfey were too poor to como and ho urged that If the second exposition Is n go , arrangements should bo made with the railroads to decrease the cost ot at tendance. John n. Key , the artist connected with the Illinois commission , spoke from an ar tist's standpoint and declared that It would bo cruel to permit the present beautiful grounds to go to wreck and ruin. He said that the exposition had become a thing of really world-wide fame and that Omaha should by all means preserve It a year longer , If possible. C. M. Wllhclm said that he had been In some doubt about thu advisability ot con tinuing the exposition , but ho had become much encouraged after listening to what had been said and felt that success was certain If the support of such Htates as Illi nois and Now York could bo secured , AV111 Double IIIK SllhNfrlntlou. W. B. Taylor said that with the prestlgo that had been secured as a result of the suc cess ot the exposition just ended ho behoved that its scope should bo enlarged that It should bo transformed from a transmlssis- tilppl Into a national exposition. H. J. Pen- fold supported this Idea and to start the ball rolling announced that he was ready to double his subscription to the old com pany. Joseph Barker stated that he had not seen his way clear to do anything In the way of helping the exposition just closed , but promised that ho would make up for his remlsanefa. Joseph Haydcn and J. L. Brandies each announced that their firms would subscribe $5,000. Peter E. Her offered to subscribe a similar amount nnd Major Wheeler said that in behalf of himself and his state ho would take another $5,000. Offerings came In until a total of some $65,000 had been made. P. E. Her suggested that $100,000 should 'be ' promised ibeforo adjournment , but this was not deemed expedient In a preliminary meeting. H. J. Penfold suggested that It might possibly bo difficult to secure a re-lease of the grounds. 'Mr. ' Her said that Kountzo nnd Woohsorth had told him they would give their landst If taxes wcro paid. Mr. Rosewater said there would bo no difficulty In securing the consent of the large land owners , 'but felt that smaller ( property owners , whd number altogether some hun dreds , might be unwilling to allow their land to 'bo ' used again. It was finally decided to let a committee Investigate thl-s matter and also see how largo a subscription could be secured. Chairman Baum was given power * to select this committee. It will bo appointed today and will report at a meeting of the stock holders to be held Friday night. Commercial Club Favorable. The question of continuing the exposition next year was discussed Informally at the meeting of the executive committee of the Commercial club yesterday noon. No action was taken , but the members expressed themselves freely In regard to the matter. It was the general sentiment of all the members of the committee that a con tinuation of tbo fair would be both practi cal and successful. They said that the plant Is there nnd paid for. The Interiors of the buildings are In good condition , and with 'but a small expenditure they may be mndo an attractive as they have bccrf this year. The fact that Ihcro Is now nn or ganization ready to take hold waa admit ted to bo strongly In favor of the new venture nnd would emvo both tlmo and energy. The members thought that It would not be necessary to charge for spnco for exhibits next year , nnd the management could there fore , by choosing what should be admitted , bo nblo to place before the public a much better show. The railroads have bcon awakened so that next year's exposition would get much more and far better assist ance from this direction. The sentiment was unanimous that people want the amusement nnd Instruction such as only an exposition can afford , and that from the army of walking advertisements that have attended during the last five months , many more may bo counted on It the thing Is tried again. MINING IN THEBLACK HILLS _ MM M of Iiilcrrnt OlcaiiocI from the Itlcli Mineral ItenloiiN of South Dakota. UBADWOOD , S. D. . Nov. 1. ( Special. ) Hornblende camp Is located about five miles northwest of Uochford , In Pannlngton county. The first cold was discovered there a year ago last Juno by a Swede named August Obcrg. The camp is four miles wide iind five miles long. This week Carl Blank of Dcadwood and H , Donncll , a capitalist ot Boston , took a bond and lease on the King of the West group of five claims , owned by Alex McCall nnd F. M. Caughran , and has the appearance of being a true fissure. An open cut has been mndo twenty feet deep and the material from the surface down as says from $4 to $18 n ton free milling. The general average of the ere Is placed at $ C located In the center of the camp. A ledge if free milling ore runs 1,000 feet across the property , which Is eighteen feet wldo and a ton. The five claims arc bonded for $35- 000. The same men have leased the new Montczuma twenty-stamp mill at Rochford. This mill was built a year ago to treat ere from the Montezuma mine , but there Is lit igation over the niin ng propo ty and ho mill has been leased. All contracts for mining and hauling the ere from the King of the West group have been let and the first ere will be stamped the 10th of next month. It Is estimated that the cntlro expense ot min ing , hauling and milting will not exceed $3 | a ton , which will glvo n handsome margin ono every ton treated. About fifty tons a clay can bo milled.

Women may write about their troubles to Mrs. Pinkham and avoid the questions of a male physician. The questions asked of -woman by a male physician are embarrassing1 and frequently re volting1 to a sensitive nature. In consequence the whole truth is not told ! This makes it dif ficult for female troubles to be successfully treated , and is the reason so many women grow worse rather than better. - ' Mrs. LUCY A. LOUGHER.V of New Lebanon , Ind. , describes how wretched she was until she received Mrs. Pink- ham's help : DEAR Mns. PINKHAM : I propped myself in a chnir and wrote to you , and as soon as I commenced to take your Vege table Compound I began to improve. I had suffered with severe pains in my hips , baek and head. The doctor said I had bladder trouble and falling of the womb. I hud spells when , if I did not sit down , I would fall. I was sleepy all the time. I was also troubled with leucorrhtea and itching piles. People thought that my end was near. Had it not been for Lydia E. PinUham's Vegetable Compound and advice , I would have been dead and buried long ngo. I hopes that this letter may bo the means of helping all women who suffer as I did. Women understand women better than men can. The whole truth is freely told to Mrs. Pinkham , and women only see the letters received by her at Lynn , Mass. Her advice is freely offeree/ / y Here is a convincing letter from a woman in Bethlehem , Pa. : DEAR Mns. PINKHAM : Words cannot express my gratitude for the good that your Vegetable Compound lias done me. I have taken five bottles , and feel bet ter in every respect. Menses heretofore lasted too long and were very profuse , and made me very weak. Your Compound is u , miracle. Uefore writing to you 1 had tried doctor's medicine , but of no avail. I would not give up your Compound for female com plaints for all the doctor's medicine in the world. My friends want to know what makes mo look so well. I do not hesitate one minute in telling- them what has brought about this wonderful change. I cannot hiiig its praises enough. J hope every one who suffers as I have will give Lydia E. Pinkhnm's Compound a trial ; and I know that , if taken according to directions , it will cure. Mrs. EDWIN Euiuo , 413 Church Street , ISethlehem , Pa. All women who suffer should secure Mrs. Pinkham's counsel. \ Female troubles are real troubles , -and niust be treated understand- ingly. For a quarter of a century Mrs. Pinkham's advice and Lydia E Pinkham's Vegetable Compound have been helping women to be strong- and well , more than a million women have been benefited by it.
