BROKE INSTEAD RICH IN GOLD Alaska Maa Tells His Experience oh Mining; Prospector In the North. Charles Elliott, (Ryberg) of Nome, Alaska, was at the Merchants Tuesday enroute from Alaska to Minneapolis. "Many erroneous lmprestnons are abroad concerning Alaska," said Mr.. Elliott, "as most people think It Is a land of continual snow and Ice. The fact Is the southern part Is In about the same latitude with Norway and northern Russia and good Crops are grown." Mr. Elliott Is to deliver . lecture on Alaska, and six years' residence in that oountry has made him familiar with the conditions as they exist there. "Alaska, or the Wisdom of Seward's Polly," Is the theme of one lecture. Mr. Elliott wnt as a miner to Alaska In 1M0, thinking he was going to get rich. Ho went broke Instead and went to Nome after mining for two years. He taught school for two winters at Unalaklett and then returned to mining.. A vacancy existed In the Congregational church and he was called upon to preach and occupied the pulpit for four years. During spare mo ments he kept up his mining and Is now interested In placer and tin mining and expects to return shortly to look after his mines.. "Alaska Is th Isst frontier we had as a nation and I believe the northern part will always be rich as a mining country. In the south are Immense valleys with tim ber, and It will only be a matter of a few years until the southern ' part of Alaska will be a great farming and cattle raising country. Gold may be found on one side of a house and cattle raised on the other." ROUTE OF NEW CAR LINES Three Extensions Are Positively Dcoidod on by the Directors.

Jamea Russell, superintendent of the Omaha division of the Missouri Pacific, is to go to the Beardstown division of tho Burlington. This la a division south of the main lino and Includes most of the southern lines In Illinois. He succeeds O. W. ting and local officials have not learned where Mr. Ling is to go. Mr. Holdrege Is still In Chicago. No sta'tement has been given out as to th probable superintendent of the new Omaha division. The delay In organis ing this division Is said to be because of the delay in the Great Northern In turning the Ashland cut-off over to the 'Burlington. This road still stands In the name of the Great Northern and nothing will be done toward forming an Omaha division until this and the O'Neill branch. are turned over to the Burlington. Three new street car extensions were sto elded upon at a meeting of the Omaha A Council Bluffs Street Railway company directors held Tuesday morning at the headquarters' In Omaha and will be built In the spring. A line will be built on Twenty-fourth street from Cuming to Leavenworth, pro vided the city will cut through and grade the street from Burt to California. ; A Una was decided upon from ' Fortieth street from Cuming to Dodge and another line In South Omaha on L street from Twenty-fourth to Thirty-sixth street, pro vided the Li street viaduct Is strengthened sufficiently to carry the oars. The Twenty-fourth street line Is the sec ond cross-town line decided upon and wilt be a close connecting link between all southern sections of the city and ' the northern parts. The line Is now being built on Twenty-fourth street from Vinton street to Leavenworth street and these cars probably will be' run light from South Omaha to Twenty-fourth and Ames avenue, making a direct llnj from th Sarpy county line to Florence. Judge Sutton on Tuesday afternoon Im posed a fine of $100 snd costs upon Attorney W. J. Connell. who hss been on trial for contempt of court in the trial of the "Coal truM" cases. The court read a formal finding In the case pronouncing the at torney guilty on the first four of the six counts on which the Information wa filed. Before pronouncing sentence the court asked Mr. Connell whether hejiad anything to say, to which Mr. Connell replied: "I have said all I cafe to say In my an swer and my argument In this case." The court room was filled with spectators. Before imposing the fine the court said it would try to lean" toward leniency rather than harshness in view of the fact that Mr. Connell la an old resident of Omaha and has never before been cited for contempt. Mr. Connell will remain In the construct ive custody of the sheriff,"' said the court. Connell Ksaeeted Jail. Attorney W. J. Connell yesterday had the legal machinery all ready to spring In case Judge 8utton sentenced htm to jail at the conclusion of the contempt case. He was ready for a reetltion of his procedure In the council contempt case, where Judge Button sentenced the members of the council to thirty days In Jail. Had. the court Imposed a Jail sentence on Mr. connell a man would have been In the supreme court at Lincoln within two hours. The check pay able to the clerk of the supreme court for the supersedeas bond . was signed by Mr. Connell before the sentence was pro nounced and all the legal papers neces sary were written so far as possible. Mr. Connell's firm conviction that the court Intended to send him to Jail and not even give him a chance to get a super sedeas bond, a conviction to which he had attested in sworn affidavit, was not at all realised In the fine Imposed by the court. In accordance with Mr. Connell's view, the general opinion was that the court would sentence him to Jail. The court had reiterated that he entertained no malice toward Mr. Connell, and Just before Im posing the fine, said: No Taint of Mallee. "There Is not the slightest taint of malice In the trial of Mr. Connell for contempt. It is the court's sole object to see that order Is preserved In the court and that the dignity of the court la preserved. I do not believe Mr. Connell knows how disagreeable his conduct Is when he Is In the heat of argument In a case. Once during the trial he overstepped the bounds, but on that occasion the court accepted his apology. Even now, at this stage of the trial, the court would accept an apology for what has happened and dismiss the case If he thought that Mr. Connell would conduct himself mote seemly In the court In the future." , The defendant would have had the right to take three days to-file a motion for a new trial. He did not ak advantage of this, "however, and the formal matlons pre paratory to getting the case to the su preme cotirt were ' made yesterday and overruled. ' Mr. Connell stated yesterday that he ex pects to have the case In the supreme court by the end of this week. ' He will then try to have It moved ahead 'on the docket, so as to secure' a reVle1 wot It within the shortest possible time. The proceedings In this case will not In terfere with Mr. Connell's action as counsel In the "Coal trust" cases still te be tried. WAREHOUSE FOR HAYDEN BROS.
