BUFFALO, Nov. 2. The Pan-Am r:can
exposition endc.ilat 12 o'clock tonight. At
midnight President John Ov Mllhurn
pressed nn electric button and the Hshti In
the famous electric tower grew dim for
the Inst time. Slowly one by cue the lights
mi post and pinnacle and tower faded away,
A cotp? of buglers standing In tho tower
sounded "taps" and one of the Krcnte
glories of the exposition, the elccrlcal
Illumination, passed away and the expo
sition wos ended.
Tho exposition has not been a financial
success, but It Is believed tho benefits de
rived from It will bo of great value to ths
commercial interests of the country. Ths
primary object of the exposition was to
advance tho friendly relations and commer
cial intercourse between tho United Statei
and other countries of tho two Americas.
In this respect It has been a decided suc
cess. The financial loss will bo In the neighbor
hood of $3,000,000. The statement to lis
Issued by the officers of tho exposition sot
ting forth the. expenditures and rocolpts
will bo made public sometime this month.
Until then the company will make no f r
mal statement. The loss will fall upon ths
holders of the common stock, tho holders
of second mortgage bonds and tho contrac
tors who erected tho buildings.
Loss Evenly Jllst rlhuteil.
Two hundred and ton thousand-shares ot
common stock were sold at $10 a sharo.
The stock was subscribed for by the clt;
liens of Iluffalo and the Niagara frontier
In small lots of from one share tfl 100, so
that the loss will not be seriously felt by
anyone. v
No complaint has been heard from the
holders of common stock, who npprecliito
'ths benefit the exposition has been to tho
city. There is also a feeling of satisfac
tion that the cnterprlso was carried to
n successful end by tho o.ltlxens of this
county without stnto or federal aid. Tho
first mortgage bonds, amounting to $2,
MOU.OOO, will ho paid In full. An Issue of
$500,000 of second mortgage bonds Is Un
provided for, but the revenue from snlvago
on th buildings and from other sources
will probably cover a part of this indebt
edness. The balance duu to contractors
Is not definitely known, but It Is said It
tepresents their profits for tho work done,
imil no ono will be seriously embarrassed
by the loss.
v Klicht .Million Admissions.
Thfl total number of admissions for thn
slx months was close to 8,000,000. An aver
age of 2,000,000 a mouth hnd been figured
on by the exposition officials. Tho great
snowstorm of last April ,was a severe blow
to the exposition. An Immense amount ot
work was undone and work on tho grounds
and buildings was delayed for a week.
Strenuous efforts were mado to make up
the lost time, but on May 1 a vast amount
ot work remained undone nnd tho formal
.opening of tho exposition was postponed
until May 20.
Tho lnmentnhle tragedy In the Temple ot
Mustek which', robbed the nation of n bo
loveit presrdont, was another blow to the
Pan-American, Tho ut tendance had been
Increasing steadily up to the date" of tho
asslnatlon of President McKlnlcy. The
gates were closed for two dnys nnd when
they reopened there was a drop ot 12 per
rent in the nttendnncn and no Improve
ment followed. '
'Tho government exhibit, which Is a beau
tiful nnd Instructive collection, will be at
once shipped to Charleston.
There, was a veritable riot on the Midway
this evening. Tho disorder stnrtcd from
a ijuarrel between an Intoxicated man and
a waiter. The crowd took tho parl'of tho

.'hairs, tables and windows, A stream ot

NEW YOilK, Nov. 2. Edward S. Stoke
died today nt tho home of his sister, Mrs.
McNutt. Succeeding a tevcrc attack which
camo while Mio was traveling In Canada,
Stokes had for some time been In falling
health. He wns very low ten days ago,
but rallied, only to sink again. He began
falling Inst midnight and his strength
slowly ebbed away to the end thla nfter
noon. The name of Kdward S. Stokes wns In
separably connected with the tragic killing
of James Flsk, Jr., who was shot by him
In 1972, after a famous quarrel, Involving
large financial Interests nnd the favor ot
Joslo Mansfield, a beautiful Caltfomlan.
Stokes was born In Philadelphia on April
27, ISit. Ho was educated In Pennsylvania
and won f.unc as a sportsman nnd athlete
In his college days. He came to New York
In 1800 nnd organized the firm of nudlong
& Stokes, which quickly won nttcntlon for
Us bold and successful operations on the
Producj exchange. The firm dissolved In
1S65 ond Stokes began the erection of tho
Brooklyn oil refinery. It was while organiz
ing the project that Stokes met Flsk, whom
he shot later.
Reverses In oil and n fire at his refinery
ruined Stokes, but when ho cmerg'd from
bankruptcy he formed another compu'.y nnl
rebuilt the refinery. With Flsk, Joy Uould
and the others who operated the Krle rail
road ho made an agreement as to oil rata
that proved lucrative. After a few ycarj
of cloe Intimacy Stokca and risk qunr
rclcd.
Joslc Mansfield, tho beautiful Callfornlau
whose destiny was so closely linked to
Stokes, wns then under the prattctlon of
Flsk and there wai a belief that Flsk re
sented Stokes" attention to her. Stokes al
wnys asserted that Flsk tried to ruin him
by manipulating oil rates on the 12r!e ra'l
road which Stokes controlled. The quarrel
was a fierce one nnd wns carried Into Wall
street, where tho men matched their skill
and nerve.
Ileeoiiellintloii In I'leellim.
In 1S71 Stok's wa arrested on the charge
that he had embezzled $30,000 from tho oil
company. Tho charge was eventually ill)
proved and Flsk and Stoke.i were far a time
reconciled. Then followed a final break.
which culminated In the shooting.
Iqsle Mansfltld left Flsk nnd passed undsr
the protection of Stokes. Lltlgitlon was
resumed between the two men, who mado
charges and countercharge) of a s arlllng
nature as to financial transactions. Threats
of personnl violence were exchanged nnd
their meeting wns not unanticipated. They
met on tho stairway of the old Grand Cen
tral hotel, now tho Broadway Central, In
January, 1872, and Stokes shot Flsk.
Flsk lived until the next morning nnd
Stokes pave himself up a fow mfnutes after
tho shooting. He was detained In the
Tombs nnd had three trials. Tho first re
suited In a disagreement and thn second
In conviction for murder In the first de
grce. Stokes was sentenced to be hanged.
He was given another trial and was con
victed of manslaughter In thn third degree.
Ho was sentenced to three years in tho
ponltcntiary.
Self-Defenne I Clnlinril.
Stokca' defense, for killing Flsk was th.it
ho had 'nhot In self-defense, after Flsk
had drawn a revolver from his pocket
There was some evidence to bear this out,
though It wan vigorously contradicted
Stokes served the four years 187.1-7, and
was restored to citizenship by President
Cleveland. He then again embarked In
business nnd became Interested In the Holt
man house. Ho became Involved In a Uh-
pute with his cousin, W. F.d Stokes, over
tho Hoffman houso nnd thn caso was fought
In tho law courts for several years. He.
finally sold bis Interest and during lilfi
last. fow years of life wns not In business.
Stokes wns a man of splendid personal
appearmien nnd nt the high tide of his
power had a largo personnl following. Whllo
In prlsoa after shooting Flsk he met Hleh
aril Croker and John Scnnnel, who were
awaiting trial on charges similar to his
own, and thn trio formed a friendship which
lasted to the end.
In the closing days of the life of Stokes
a woman who gave the naruo of Hosnmoud
Barclay advanced tho Claim that she was
married to him.

LINCOLN, Noy. 2. (Special Telegram.)
Chairman Lindsay of the republican state
central committee declared, tonight that
there could be no question as to tho sue
ceis of the republican ticket In the election
of Tuesday. The work of tho committee
practically ended today. Monday the flnil
Instructions will be given to the party
workers over the stats and from that tltui
until the polls close alt efforts wll) be di
rected toward goUIng out the full pany
vote.
Chairman Mudsay will cast his vote In
Pawnee City Tuiaday moralng, but will re
turn to Lincoln nnd receive the returns
here In the evening.
"The conditions nrc Juat as favorable for
tho republicans' victory as they wcro the
Saturday before election last year, nnd 1
am positive we will elect our ticket," said
Mrr Lindsay tonight, "The majority will
be as large ns that given our candidates
last year, and It will probably be much
larger. Reports from all sections of the
stato are favorable. In fact, everything
upon which wc can base an estimate Is en
couraging for the republican candidates."
Mr. Lindsay said that so r.ir ns he was,
able to detcrmluo tho opposition ft the
Liquor Dealers' association wns having
tlttlo or no effect upon the strength of
Judge Sedgwick, ns by the thinking people
the action ot that association would ho
considered as an endorsement by the liquor
clement of the fusion candidate, Judge Hoi-
lenbeck.
Fusion's Kttrnvsisnt Clnlins.
Following their usual custom, tho fu
sion campaign managers have begun io
make extravagant claims. Chairman De
franco of tho populist committee says Hol
lenbeck will bo elected by from 12,000 to
15,000 votes and Vice Chairman Scott of
tho democratic committee makes a similar
claim.
The registration In Lincoln has been un
usually tight, not much over halt ot last
year's. Pad weather kept many of the
voters at home (oday and It Is feared that
ns a result tho vote on election day will
bo much smaller than usual. In this
county the fuslonlsts nrc mnklng a des
perate effort to eject their candidates for
treasurer and register of deeds. For the
latter office tho chances arc about even
and It 1,8 generally conceded thnt the re
publican candidates for all other offices
will be elected by majorities of from 800
to 1,000, depending upon tho slzo ot the
total vote.
Chairman Adams of tho Lancaster
county republican central committee says
tho entire county ticket will he elected.
The opposition claims a victory for Wil
liam McLaughlin nnd J. .1. Anderson, fu
slon candidates for treasurer and register
respectively.

that will rebuild the brain and nerve cells,
Thnt food is Grape-Nuts.

tor than any other food nnd the results
were marvelous. I got fleshy like a coed
follow. My usual morning headaches dis
appeared, nnd I found I could study for a
long period without feeling the effects of It.
After I had been using Grape-Nuts Food
for about two months I felt like a new boy
altogether. My face had been pale and
thin, but Is now round and baa consider
able color. I have gained greatly In strength
us well as flesh and It Is a pleasure to
study now that I am not bothered with mv
bead. I passed all ot my exaiiilnatlons
with a reasonably good percentage, extra
good In some of thorn, and It was Grace
Nuts that savtd me from a year's delay In
entering college.
Father and mother have both been Im
proved by the use of Grapo-Nuts Food.
Mother was troubled with sleepless nights
and got very thin and looked careworn.
She has gained her normal strength nnd
looks and sleeps well nights." Don E.

(From iv Htaff Correspondent.)
WASHINGTON. Nov. 2 (Sneelal Tele.
gram.) Plans for tho new double-track
steet bridge across the Missouri river at
Plattsmouth, which the Ilurllngton railroad
will build to replace tho present structure,
have been practically approved by the War
department. There nre, however, minor
details to arrango which will detain Gen
eral C. F. Mandcrson, general solicitor of
tho company, In Washington n fow days
longer.
"I had honed to leave Wnshlnelnn In.
morrow for Omnhn," ho said, "and had
telegraphed my offlco to nrrange for the
swearing In of my voto on Tuesday. It
will bo lmposolblc for me to leave now
until tho bridge question Is settled, which
I liopo will bo curly In the week."
Tho delay In securlne thn nnnrnvnl nf
plans for tho new bridge over the. Mis
souri at Plattsmouth la duo to the con
struction of two acts of congress, ono hav
ing been passed In 1SG4. the other In 1S90.
Tho act of 1SSI gave tho Ilurllngton ro.nl
tho right to connect its main line with
Bridges across tho Missouri nt nny point,
providing they did not Impedo tho traffic
of the river. Tho net ot 1S99 provides that
tho right to construct bridges over tho
navlgablo streams of tho United States
shall rest solely In congress, tho plans,
however, of such bridges to bo approved
by the secretary of war. It Is here tho
hitch lies;
Oeneml Mandcrson contends that the net
of 1890 supersedes the net of 1861 nnd lm
Is supported In his contention by the Judge
advocate general, to whom the legal phaso
ot me question has been referred. Hut
he desires the secretary nf wnr. tlirmirli
tho engineering department, to pass upon
tne plans of the bridge, nnd considerable
red tnpo is yet to bo cone thronch with
before tho proposed plans nrc officially np.
proved, which will probably not be until
after Tuesday, when Secretary Hoot re
turns rrom New York, where he will go
Monday to vote.
General Mandcrson during his slav In
Washington has been attending to numerous
matters which have accumulated In his
office having n direct connection with the
war nnd Interior departments, jind as he
knows the practice of the departments us
few men do, he has had abundant oppor
tunity to keep busy.
Questions Operation in online.
Some days ago he received mtlce that ths
Interior department drslrcd t n knnw l-.v
what right the Ilurllngton wus dolqg bus
iness In Wyoming. As the innd nam-n
through many miles of public domain, this
was a serious question. It U known lint
the railroad lo pass through public domain
of tho United Slntes must ll!o w 1 h the sec
retary cf the interior maps of dsflnlte loca
tion, which, upon approval, gives the com
pany the Tight to construct lis line, ntlwr
legal phases having been compiled with.
ucnerai .Mannerson knew thnt the roid
was built and doing business. He was nt a
loss, therefore, to understand Hie rniestlrn
'On examination, however. It was found thnt
the maps of definite location describing the
router enrves, etc., had been filed, but"h'nrl
been overlooked bv the itennrlmenl. iiml
accordingly ho secured the approval of tin
secretary jor me nuiiuing or a roan that Is
already built nnd In operation,

It Is believed here that the impal brief
appointing a bishop for the new Sioux City
diocese will not be received before the nt

The last mall from Rome failed lo bring
any developments In the matter, which hai
been pending over since lant winter, and hi
October Is a period of vacation in I lis

tho tlmo may be even considerably later.
