SAY THE CAYAL IS COMING Omata Business Men Now Confident the Plan Will Be Executed, ADDITIONAL SUBSCRIPTIONS TO STOCK Last Night's Mass Meeting Again Brought Out Much K t Expression Favor of Project - Pros- t Brightening Dally. in the The mass meeting held at the Commercial club last night was largely attended and when it adjourned the Platte river scheme had b n given a big boost President Gibbon of the Commercial el presided. He said that the templated by the promoters of the canal was to eecure the subscription of stock to the amount of $250,000, after which it was pro- posed to ask subsidies from the ot Douglas in the sum of $1,000,000 bal ance that it was necessary to raise, he said, would be secured by the floating of canal bonds. The report of the soliciting commit tee, he sald, showed that more than $130,000 had been gubscribed, and if the amount could be raised to $160.000 the other $100,000 was assurcd. From that tim the ‘meeting a love feast, a number of short specches being mad C. F. Weller was satisfied that the success of Omaha depended largely upon the bullding of the Platte river canal. The business men the city, he said, should take hofd of the matter and subscribe to the stock. Such course would show to the public that the business men of the city were interested The completion of the canal would bring in manufacturing enterprises and the result would be that property values would soon double. H. F. y in favor of the canal, so that he said that he had subscribed for $5,000 of stock Frank J. Kaspar was of the opinion that the 1 meant millions for Omaha. With the canal and cheap power he predicted 500,000 population for Omaha within five years. With cheap power, the speaker was of the opinion that all classes of goods could be manufactured here and sold at prices low as In the east. Z. T. Lindsey said that in Minneapolis it coat seven mills to make a barrel of flour. With the canal, flour could be manufactured as cheaply herc as there. Eastern manufacs turers were watching the canal profect, and were ready to come as soon as it was an assured fact. N. B. Falconer remarked that he favored the canal and stood ready to take $1,000 of the stock Erastus Benson explained that all subscrip- tions would be upon the same basis. Com- petent engineers had examined the route of the canal, and it was apparent that the water could be brought from the Platte and utilized. D. Clem Deaver said that the working people of the city wanted to see the canal a eople’s canal. A general meeting of the aboring men, he thought, should be held and the matter discussed. Mr. Deaver #aid that in his opinion would be @ good plan for the laboring men to put a certain percentage of their wages into canal stock. The labor commit- tees had the matter under advisement, but it had not been reported on. Something needed to infuse new life into the busines and labor interests, and the building of the canal would do that y thing. Henry T. Clarke said the canal was not an uncertainty, as that time had passed. The Teport of eminent cpginecrs had been suffi- cient to convince people that the would do all that was claimed for it viding it was buflt. Omaha had every ment for making a large city if cheap power could be secured. Clarke hoped that the laboring men would take hold of the enterprise and subscribe for the stock, even it in small amounts. What was needed for success was united action. Dan Farrell, jr., had considered the canal project. He thought that the building of the canal would bring thousands of manufacur- ing establishments, To show his confidence in the project, Mr. Farrell said that he would take another $1,000 worth of stock. George W. Payne knew that business men througliout the entire country were watching the canal scheme and were ready to come s Boon as it was assured that it was a g Judge Ambrose sald that he was a young student upon the subject of water power. I the power was what it was considered, it was a very desirable thing. He could not see how the business interests of the city could let the project fall through. John Powers had watched the canal scheme and thought that fs was the best thing that bad ever been proposed for the city. He had subscribed for $200 of stock and stood ready to raise the amomnt to $500. County Commissioner Williams said that he would assure the meeting that Douglas county’s best Interests should be looke after, County Commissioner Stenberg said that in the event that he hould be called upon as an official it would receive careful atten- tion and the best interests of the whole peo- ple would be looked after. Manager Roberson of the Dun's agency remarked that the objections against the canal scheme came from men who were not posted. In his opinfon the canal was the one thing to consider and men who put thelr money into the project would reap a return. George N. Hicks thought that if the pro- Ject was to ald the laboring men there should be some degree of haste, that work might begin by July 1. The books were opened and $11,500 pledged, making the total subscriptions $141,500, with ©. D. Woodworth and Frank J. Kaspar pledg- ing $1,000 cach.

When silence had finally settled over the scene, after the with- awal of the last belated exhibit, the White would have presentod, in Its lonely seclusion, something of the pathetic grandeur of Luxor or Versailles; and the waves of the great inland sea, beating along the front of the Peristyle, would have had the effect of MEMORIAL ANTHEMS, This, then, must pass and the Lagoon will flow drearily between heaps of blackened ruins, the burned out pyres of the artistic beauty which so recently delighted the nations.

Halligan, J. N. Westberg, Richard Smith, H. C. Brome and B. T. White held a meeting in the Mercer hotel last night at which they took the pre- liminary steps for the organization of a re- publican political club which is to be numed the Hamilton Republican club in honor of Alexander Hamilton. The meeting was called to order by Chair- man Blackburn, and Mr. Tucker acted as secretary. A constitution and by-laws were discussed and Messrs, Halligan, Anderson and Jeffrey were appointod a committee to draft articles of incorporation and the con- stitution, which will he adopted at the next meeting. Messrs. Smith, Wiggins and Dat- tin were appointed by the chairman to secure suitable and permanent quarters for the club. The object of the club is to work for the advancement of true republican principles, regardloss of religious beliefs or past dif- ferences which may have arisen during cam- paigns. None but voters and workers of good reputation, both politically and morally, will be taken into membershp. The initia- tlon fee will be $5, with annual dues amount- ing to $5. The club is to be governed by a committee, which will contain a representa- tive from each ward and an executive com- mittee of three. They adjourned to meet next Thursday evening, when a permanent organization will be effected. The club will endeavor to be represented at the next state meeting of republican clubs and at the national meeting, which is to be held in Denver this summer. - i e Dewitt's Witch Hazel salve cures piles. ——— SCRUTINIZING TRAMPS. Precautions Taken to Prevent an Epldemic ot Smallpox. Police officers patroling the outskirts of the city and those whose beats are along the railway tracks received instructions last night to keep all tramps on the move and | not let them stop in_the city over night The men on house duty were also instructed to scrutinize tramps and ‘‘bum: at the station, and all those who exhibited symj toms of illness were carefully examined to ascertain if they had been exposed to the smallpox. These precautions were taken on of the arrival of two tramps from Chic yesterday who had well developed cases of this disease. It is reported that a large number of tramps who are headed for Omal lave been exposed to the disease, and un- doubtedly many of them will be taken with the smallpox and rapidly spread it all around the country. When any tramps were ar- rested last night the jallers and other st tion officers handled them carefully, s to not suffer from contagion. Chief Seavey and the health officials will probably tak some radical measures today to prevent the influx of tramps who are supposed to ha been exposed to the disease. The tramps who were permitted to sleep at the station last night were glven quarters in a small apartment in the police court room, so that other prisoners would not be exposed. e CAME IN A BOX CAR.
