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."

RUSSELL GOES TO BEARDST0WN
Omaha Maa Gets Important Division
of the Bnrllnnrton In
Illinois.
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.
