LACKED inTJOEES AND ENTHUSIASM,
The Lincoln County Pop Convention Held
Saturday Proves to be Disparaging,
The remnants of tle populist
party-iii Iiricoln;county assembled
last Saturday in Keith's hall. The
forenoon session was 'very brief
and consisted simply of the election
of E. A. Johnson, of Brady Island,
nnd Col. J. Weslev Ellinirham, of
the Era as chairman and secretary
of the meeting-, and the appoint
ment of a committee cn creden
tials. Some thirsty fellow then
made a motion that the assemblage
adjourn until 1 o'clock p. m. At
that time the committee on creden-
tials made a report showing that
something" like twenty out of the
forty-nine precincts in Lincoln
c6unty (the former hot-bed of "pop
ism"), were represented by one or
more delegates each.
Siff Mang, of Mylander precinct,
although not a delegate then told
of his first experience in 1860 of an
attempt being made in Indiana, by
the democrats, to buy his vote for
$2. This was a very high price for
this commodity, especially before
the war, as it has been charged
although never xroven that one
o
W. H. Dudley,, long; since ..the-war.
had purchased all the votes he
needed for a crisp new $2 bill each.
A switch engine in the railroad
vnrd was making so much noise
that our reporter could not hear
Mr. Mang" say whether he had ac
cepted this liberal offer or not. It
wris noticeable that the editor of
the Era, who had some little ex
perience in Indiana democratic
politics, fidgeted absented himself
while this oft-told imaginative fairy
tale was being related.
A committee .on, resol utions then
worked over a lot of matter which
had previously been adopted in
another county, that covered enough
ground for a national meeting1 of
the fast-fadincr orcranizotion .of
Seedy Shrader and other statesmen
of less calibre.
The selection p delegates to the
state, gathering? to 'be held to-day
then, occupied tlfe time of the meet-
mg. Alter a thorough Dealing- or
. f - r - r
the field and sejleciinsMUoSfrpres
ent who woum attena at xincom,
in order to impress the people pres
ent from other parts of the state
that this withering- party of
promises ana non-tuihliment was
not stalking around in this county
simply to save funeral expenses,
the delegation Ayas left two or three
short, as it was found impossible
to discover among those present
that many more, who would even
promise to attend. Chairman
Burritt was one of the faithful who
declined this barren and expensive
honor, but he was sorry thereafter
that he did so after witty John
Gutherless rose to his feet and
ironically "roasted" those who were
enioyincr the "loaves and fishes,"
for not being perfectly willing- to
and ready to respond to the Mac
edonian cry for the maintenance of
the organization. Especially did
the clerk regret his resignation
after Butler Buchanan and Jacob
Miller were-selected and accepted
the position of delegates to the
state convention.
The selection of delegates to the
judicial convention then followed,
and as the distance was less, and
the expense promised to be smaller,
by selecting all the pop deputy
county officers and county attorney,
the delegation was filled,
A ISfarth Platte delegate then
arose and said that he had some
thing to bring- to the attention of
those present. He wished to intro
duce old "Bloody Bridles" Waite's
papern which he affirmed was the
best paper for his class in the
world, and that it could be secured
at the rate of $1 per year. This
caused the bristles upon the spine
of the editor of the Erg. to elevate
and he chose his favorite text of
''Patronize home iqdustry," and
urged that as he was having- some.
trouble in buncoing- people to take
his paper out of the postoffice at
the mere nominal sum ot fifty cents
per year, that if the aforesaid peo
ple would only conseht to carryit
away from your Uncle Samuel's de
liveries he would furnish it free.
A free-for-all discussion was then
indulged in by those present upon
the subjects of reorganization of
the county central committee, the
time for holding- the nominating
convention, how the nominee for
county commissioner sjiould be se
lected, etc. These matters were
finally left to the present chairman
f the county central committee,
withu motion adopted fixing- the
place for the commissioner cohven-
iipn at some point in Cox precinct.
This last little joker was the work
of ItoSert Arundale, who .led the
bolt last fall against JoeBeeler,
and induced H. D. Rhea to become
a independent candidate. His
motive in this jnat'ter is easy of
discernment. As an exhibition of
bestowing- upon one man autocratic
power it has scarcely ever been
equalled in either of the old parties.
Owing to the abbreviated number
of delegates present at theraeeting,
whenever one of the "troolyloil"
was seen to enter thehall, from
one of the many unrepresented pre
cincts, some one would make a
motion that he be allowed to exer
.cise the-f unctions of a delegate. In
this way the vacuum from Antelope,
Hall, Mylander and other precincts
was filled
One ot the best jokes upon the
ring-master and clowns of this
great circus was the fact that the
duly accredited delegate from Fox
Creek precinct, Donald McAndrew,
is and always has been a staunch
republican, and only came to the
county seat at the earnest solicita
tion of his neighbors, as they con
sidered him the best man in that
vicinity to represent them at any
kind of a meeting.
Known in Council Bluffs.
Ivast evening's Omaha Bee con
tains the following relative to the
two principal characters in our
county jail:
"The sheriff's force and several
of the policemen at Council Bluffs
are quite positive that that city
will have the unenviable distinction
of showing that the captured Union
Pacific bandits are local produc
tions and have been inmates of the
city and county jails. Last winter
two Danes named Knudsen were
engaged in chopping- wood near
Crescent. They seemed to show
an unfortunate disregard for
orooertv lines, and persisted in
4. -A.
cutting- timber where it could be
gotten at the easiest and could be
converted into cordwood with the
least labor. -They persevered in
this plan until they got into trouble
with a number of land owners and.
farmers in the vicinity. One of the
irmers-wep.t,tQ, them and warned
uiem oir nis premises, - jjut. instead
of going1 one of them started toward
him with an axe and the other fol
lowed with a big- revolver. He re
tired without protest or delay, and
at.face filed a complaint in the
office of a -justice of the peace.
Officers succeeded in arresting- the
men without trouble, and they were
brought to the city jail and detaind
a while. Subsequently they were
taken to the county jail, where they
were kept until after the grand
jury met. JNo indictmeut was
found asrainst them and they were
released,! but not until they were
relieved of their weapons. Both
appeared to have a -penchant for
big- weapons, and Deputy Sheriff
Hooker still has a hig, vicious looking-
44-calibre revolver which was
taken froni. one of them. The de?
scription given in the Bee yester
day morning, according- to Hooker,
fits the fellows perfectly. One had
the name K, Knudsen tatooed on
his arm below the elbow, but
Hooker and the other officers who
examined them aire not certain
whether it was on the left or right
forearm.
So certain are the officers that
they are the same -fellows that
their antecedents here will be looked
up at once.
Deputy sheriff O'Brien recalls the
time that Knudsen was in jail here
very vividly and ' positively, for he
took him to the penitentiary at
Port Madison a year agro last
March. He sa3rs it was not Knud
sen who got into the difficulty near
Crescent. That was another Dane
who gave the name of Johnson, and
who came here from Slush, TVyo.
Both were mixed up in many rob
beries and both were thorough
desperadoes. Knudsen was con
victed of burglary and given a short
erm in prison, and O'Brien thinks
he ought'to be out about this time.
O'Brien is thinking of taking a trip
out on the Union Pacific and look
ing- at the bandits. -If they prove
to be Johnson and Knudsen he can
give the officers some valuable in
formation concerning- their past
ives."

HARRINGTON & T0BIN, SOLE
Chairman Lono, of Kentucky, has
called the state central committee
and the democratic candidates to
meet in conference with the editors
of the democratic "press and other
party leaders. The object as an
nounced is to try to arrange some
ground upon which both factions of
the party can stand. It is a cer
tainty that Hardin's withdrawal
will be demanded by the "sound-
money men, but it will be bitterly
resisted by the silverites. The
only hope of salvation for the party
is for Mr. Hardin to give back his
commission, as it cannot be taken
fromhim, and let a new candidate
be selected. Little hope is enter
tained that he will do this, how
ever. The party is now utterly
demoralized, and it is almost the
unanimous agreement that it is im
possible to win in any- event, but if
Hardin would retire in favor of a
candidate, who would stand on the
platform, defeat might be met with
honor. There is no disposition on
the part of the "sound-money" men
to put out a new ticket, for they
feel that they represent the party.
Mr. Hardin lost his head in debate
and at one time flatly accused Mr.
Bradley of falsehood. His opponent
kept his temper and a personal dif
ficulty Ayas averted.
A new feature has been sprung
in the rustling business in Chey
enne county. Two ladies have been
arrested charged with taking-water
from a ditch belonging to Charlie
Nelson. The case was continued
to the 22d inst. "We know nothing
about the circumstances connected
with this case but it is reasonably
suppose the ladies must have
needed the water badly. Kimball

A proposition for the construc
tion of a cable betwween Honolulu
and San Francisco has been made
by Z'. S." Spaulding, a wealthy sugar
planter, which has been received
favorably by the Dole government.
Spaulding asks $50,000 a year from
Hawaii, and will ask from the
United States $100,000 a year for
twenty years, for which they would
have the right to send their dis
patches. The estimated costs of
the establishment are $4,000,000.
Spaulding will try to form an
American company tor this enter
prise, which is to be completed by
Oct 31. 1898.
It is unfortunate for a man to get
into politics, and if we had a real
good friend that we love as a broth
er, we would advise him tokeep-out
of it entirely. It is like sticky fly

you fall into it, it tastes a little,
sweet at first, but you tug and pull
and wear your life away trying to
get out of it. "We know men now
who are down fiat in the sticky

themselves out of the mess. The
very best advice you can give any
man is to keep out of politics

Assuming-
that the average

to 39.3 cents a bushel, the average
for the last six years, statistician

the corn crop this year will be $943,

will be 100,000,000 tons of of stalk,,
