"You see I knew my business wben I at

Tbe case against Van Alstlne , wherein be
was charted wltb conspiring against the
government of tbe United States , hindering
smd delaying tbe tranimlsalon of tbe United

Anderson and a lot of testimony introduced.
All ot this testimony tended to show tbat the
contractor owed Van Alstluo $760 for hauling
mail and that be bad exhausted every
method in tbe way of persuasion before be
restored to legal proceedings. Tbe testi
mony also showed that wben Van Alstlne at

NEI1IIASKA CITY'S BONUS BONDS.
Judge Manner Hour * a Salt Concern-
Inir nn Aliened Irregular Innue.
The time of Judge M\nger of the United
States court is being monopolized by tbo
hearing ot the case of John Martin Clapp ,
an eastern bond buyer , against Otoe county ,
this state. The origin of the suit dates back
to 18S6 , at which time the Missouri Pacific
railroad ran around Nebraska City , leaving
the town some six miles from the main line
of tbe road. I
Alons ; in 18S6 tbe residents of Nebraska
City concluded that It 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 it rlght-of-
I way and depot grounds could be secured
without cost to tbo company the road would
be run into tbelr town. 'A ' committee com
prising eighty ot 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 1686 an elec
tion was beld for the purpose of voting
bonds in tbe sum of $30,000 , the proceeds
of which were to be turned over to these
men who bad so advanced their own money.
The bonds carried and were issued in due
time and afterward sold to some bank that
subsequently assigned them to tbe defendant
in the present suit.
For nine years Interest was paid , but
about tbat 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 tbat
there was a legal defect in this , that certain
lands were taken Into the corporate limits
of Nebraska City , tbe 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 tbe collection of the interest upon
tbe bonds and now it is sought to bave tbe
entire debt declared void.

Keith County' * Dry Ditch.
The Citizens' Savings and Loan asiocla-
'tlon of Cleveland , O. , has brought auk In
the United States court to force collection
on the interest due on $35,000 of Keith
county bonds , Issued om ten years ago to
Solon 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. Solon l > , Wiley agreed 'to ' construct
this canal for $35,000 , taking the bonds of
the county in payment Tbe bonds were voted
and the ditch was dug , but the thine never
held water and all that they have ever bad
to show for their money has been a dry
ditch , beginning at no place and ending at
about the same locality.
After getting the bonds , Wiley sold them
to tbe Cleveland bank , which concern tried
to collect Interest but was met wltb tbe ob
jection that there wan a ditch but no canal ,
tbe contention being that Wile ? failed to
comply wltb the conditions required of him
by tbe contract and aa a result the bonds
were void.

Captain Hutcheson , adjutant general of

Is made In four sections , and ths part eon-

It saw sen-Ice , but the print Is as clear as

a fine map of the Philippines , which has
been Issued by the government. 1'ho ap
pearance of the Islands as shown by the mnp
indicates too plainly how little is known of
the country. The Interior of the Islands ,
other than the Luzon , are barren ot nny
marks to indicate habitation or clvlll/atlon ,
nnd Luzon does not make a much better
showing. There are no streams or water
courses of any character , yet It Is known
there are millions of people In the Islands.
Captain Hutcheson says the Sulu Islands are
Inhabited by a nation of pirates , who have
a sultan and a regular government , and tbat
In a majority of tbe Islands In the I'htltp-

Captain Hutcheson announces that a

there , is now being transferred to Porto
Rico to join the rest of the regiment , and its

FATE OF THE EXPOSITION
Mass Meetings This Week Will Settle tbe
Enterprise One Way or Other ,
EXPRESSION OF PUBLIC SENTIMENT
Promoters Anzloui to Learn Just to
What Extent the Opposition or
Support of the Plan Alar He
Helled Upon.
Two 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
nnd 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 ot the enterprise will meet in tbo
council chamber in the city hall. Pending
the expressions of those meetings no fur
ther action will bo taken by the men who
are pushing the , exposition.
One of the gentlemen who have been
prominent in the undertaking says tbat If
any considerable opposition develops it is
felt that tbe idea should not be carried
further. But be suggests that the opinion
of 10 per cent of tbo people cannot be con
sidered an expression of public sentiment.
If the opposition is merely confined to a
few of tbe Jobbers and some of the country
merchants there is no reason why tbe un
dertaking should not be consummated. Out
If it is more general in its character , no
one is disposed to carry It on In the face
of public sentiment.
Tbe 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
be visited Columbus , Grand Island and a
number of other Nebraska cities , gays tbat
be finds the sentiment among the retailers
pretty fairly divided. Some ot them talk
against the exposition on the ground that it
will divert some of their trade to Omaha es
