The Ponca Journal states that the railroad company will probably begin prospecting for coal at that pluco this week. In the event coal in paying quantities can be found there it will be invaluable to Ponca as it will bring factories and various kinds of indus tries. Bert Barkey , aged 21 years , son of Ziglar Barkey , was found dead in a vacant building about 200 yards west from the family residence , five miles northwest of Cortland.

Only S10 of the money taken belonged to the office , the balance was private funds. The Nebraska State Woman Suffrage association holds its annual convention this year at the Long Pine Chautauqua anil expects that the camping ground will allure a large number of delegates , especially as the railroads offer half rates. July 21 and 22 are the days for business sessions and department work and the 23d has been assigned to the association as the special day on the program. Little Charlie Bohac , the G-year-old son of Joseph Bohac of Schuyler , and one of six children , got under the wheels of the west-bound Union Pacific train and received injuries from the effects of which he died.

In the case of the State vs. "Dad" Whittemore , who some two weeks ago pleaded guilty to the charge of rape of a little girl 13 years of age , % vhile he is somewhere near 60 years of age , the county court bound him over to the district court in the sum of S500 bonds. The coroner's jury after investigat ing the death of William Hubble , whose body was found near Lakeside , brought in a verdict that the man "came to his death by an unknown cause. " People believe the affair an accident , as the corpse was lying near the railroad track , with the head crushed , and think the story first sent out that a murder had been committed does the community an injustice. The state Sunday school convention of Nebraska will meet in the First M. E church of Omaha July 28-30. Every Sunday school in the state is entitled to one delegate beside the pastor and superintendent , who are ex-officio mem bers. The leading Sunday school workers of the state will be 'in attend ance as well as prominent workers of the state.

The tickets will be sold August 31 to September 5 inclusive , and will be good for return on or before Septem ber 6. Frank Davenport , saj-s the Norfolk News , has another addition to his me nagerie in the shape of a golden eagle. The bird was caught by some boys in a field of oats near Battle Creek while devouring a jack rabbit As the oats were unusually heavy the bird was un able to get sufficient wind under his wings to rise and therefore was easily caught by a sack being thrown over him. The bird is young and considered a fine specimen , and decidedly rare in this locality. Attorneys Powers and Acheson of Omaha were at the governor's office last week in attendance on the hearing of the application for a commutation of sentence of Claude Hoover , who shot to death his brother-in-law , Sam Dubois. The supreme court has de nied the petition for a new trial and the last resort is executive clemencj * . Governor Holcomb is asked to commute the death penalty to imprisonment for life. The application is backed up by a large numoer of personal letters from Omaha citizens. The Union Pacific attorneys have re ceived the following message from the acting United States attorney general , dated July 14 : "Referring to our con ference of this date , I have to say that the United States attorneys for Colorado rado , Kansas. Nebraska , Utah and Wyoming have been directed to extend for twentjr days from this date the time for answering in our suits against the Union Pacific to cancel land titles. " It is taken that this announce ment is simply preparatory to the of ficial abandonment of the suits. Superintendent Dan Miller ap peared before the county board of supervisors of Dodge county and ad dressed it on the matter of the tuition due Fremont city school district from the counUy. The new law fixes the amount for each pupil at 50 cents per week. The board doubted the con stitutionality of the law , and if con stitutional were at a loss to know whether the tuition should come out of the 15-mill levy or a special levy. A resolution was adopted that the matter be carried to the supreme court , the expense to be paid by the county. Fred Barker of Omaha is dead from the effects of toying with a giant fire cracker on the Fourth. His skull was fractured by the explosion that occur red as he was about to investigate the why and wherefore of the cracker not going off. Reports from most all precincts of Polk county are to the effect that the oat crop this year will in all prob ability not average more than half a crop on account of the rust. Seme fields are utterly worthless and will be plowed under. The corn crop , how ever , never looked better and gives promise of a bountiful yield. The other grains are looking well and will undoubtedly turn out all right j , _ f . jj. . .y . . . * _ _ , , ' ' ' ' i i ww * miMw mim iwwiWHl POPULIST CONVENTION. LEADERS WORKING A&AINST BRY AN'S ' INDORSEMENT. SECRET CAUCUSES HELD. They Have Acrccd Upon No DcQnlte Line of Action , bat Seem Determin ed to Fight for a Separate Ticket Hryan's Friends Very Con fident of Winning Gov. Stone on the Scene. St. Louis , Mo. , July 20. Chairman Taubeneck of the Populist national committee returned from Chicago this morning and his coming was the sig nal for renewed activity on the part of the middle-of-the-road Populists , who hope to prevent an indorsement of Bryan and the Chicago platform. His visit to Chicago , which was partly due to his fear that the Illinois dele gation would leave him in the lurch' , and not to make terms with the Dem ocrats as was reported yesterday , was apparently not productive of results. This morning he was in secret confer ence with the anti-Bryan leaders and the national headquarters were prac tically deserted. Mr. Taubeneck , it is said , found several stumbling blocks in his path to Chicago. For one tiling , Dr. Tay lor , one of the most noted members of the People's party in Illinoisis openly CHAIRMAN IT. E. TAUBKNECK. for Bryan and there are many other Populists in Illinois who are believed to hold the same opinion. To have his own delegation go against him would be very distasteful. In their conference the anti-Bryan men agreed on no definite plan of action , but they seemed determined to make a straight-out fight for a sep arate ticket and platform. The Mis sissippi , Rhode Inland , Conneticut , Michigan and Texas delegations will help them. At the Omaha-Bryan headquarters there was much jubilation over indi cations of the growing strength of the movement to indorse Bryan and Sewall. GOVERNOR STONH OX THE SCENE. Among the arrivals this morning was Governor Stone of Missouri He came , it is said , in response to a tele gram from some of the Populists , who are in favor of the nomination or in dorsement of Bryan , and is to do mis sionary work among the "middle of the road" contingent. The latter are to hold a mass meeting at the Lindell hotel to-morrow afternoon to start the movement against Bryan , and Gov ernor Stone and other friends of the Democratic candidate , will try to neu tralize the efforts of the opposition. NO GOI/D CONGRESSIONAL NOMINEES. The silver people are .very quiet. Few of them are here , and none of the delegates are expected before Monday. The leaders this morning formulated a new demand , which meets the approval of the Populists who have been consulted. It is that they shall insist upon the withdrawal of all Democratic congressional nom inees who are "sound money' * or gold standard men. or , if they will not withdraw , that the silver men and Populists unite in putting up in every congressional district a free silver candidate. This , it is urged , should be presented to the national Demo cratic committee as an ultimatum. The Populists , it is understood , are to concentrate their work and attempt to elect a congress which will favor free silver and to accomplish this it is necessary to have the co-operation of the Democratic party. The Populists who are opposed to Mr. Bryan say that if he is nominated the delegates of Massachusetts , Rhode Island and Connpcticut , and possibly Tenncee , will i t. Secretary J. H. Turner of t"ie Popu list national committee , who arrived this morning , is outspoken in his de sire that this convention shall indorse Bryan and Sewali. "It is ti ; prac tical and patriotic thing for. us to do , " ' said he. "If we fail to do it we will jeopardize the vital issue of the cam paign free silver an original tenet of the Populist faith. I believe free silver is going to win , anyhow , and if we fail to indorse the only man who stands any chance of winning for the cause of silver , we will be shorn of any of the glory except as individuals and be classed as its enemy. The ma jority of Populists are not going to fritter iway a principle so dear to them as has alwavs been the restora tion of silver to its constitutional function as a money medium.

The official train of Nebraska Populists , carrying the fifty-seven delegates from Ne braska to St Louis , will leave Lin coln at 1:20 to-morrow afternoon.

"Will Lend Kvery Energy to IJrlng About Ills Indorsement. Denver , , Col. , July 20. Senator * Teller said yesterday : "My friends and niy&elf will lend every energy to bring about Mr. Bryan's indorsement at St. Louis. Of course , there is go ing to be some opposition. Senator Marion Butler of North Carolina is leading the opposition. I believe he is making a mistake. I think he and his friends will realize this before the convention , and I am willing to make this prophecy : 'Either the Popuiists will indorse Bryan or they will fail to make a nomination. ' There is no rea son why they should not indorse him. for the financial plank adopted by the Chicago convention is all the Pop ulists can ask for , and the other planks of the platform are c rtainly more than they had any reason to ex pect from a Democratic convention. " A New I'opullst Plan. Terre Haute , Ind. , July 20 Mor ton C. Rankin , treasurer of the nation al committee , and a member of the executive committee , says that in his opinion , under the existing circum stances , the practical thing for the Populists and silverites to do at St. Louis next week would be to nomi nate Bryan , change the Democratic platform in a few details , add the referendum plank , then nominate their own candidate for vice presi dent. He thinks the second place should go South , and suggests the names of Judge Nimis of Georgia , Senator Martin Butler of North Caro- lina.and Colonel Minimis of Tennessee. • - , Diamond Trust advances Prices.

These English men and South Africans have absolute control of the diamond output of the world. The last advance which the New York jobbers are informed that they must pay is 02c a carat.

The Nebraska 1'opulitts. Grand Island , Neb. , July 10. The populist state delegate convention con vened here yesterday with a good at tendance. The convention was called to order at 2 o'clock. Rev. Mr. Jordon invoked divine guid ance. Mayor Thompson welcomed the delegates to the city , where two years ago the present governor was nomi nated. W. L. Green responded in be half of the convention. D. Clem Deaver was unanimously chosen tem porary chairman. George F. Corcoran , B. R. Carpenter , J. L. Clafin and B. S. Allen of Cass were made secretaries. The list of delegates , as prepared by the state central committee , was adopted , after which the list of coun ties and representation was read , doing away with the credentials committee. A committee of five were appointed on permanent organization. It recom mended General P. 11. Barry for chair man and the temporary secretaries as permanent A telegram was received from the populist convention of South Dakota , sending greetings to the populists of Nebraska. A motion was promptlj' made and hurriedly carried that the secretary reply , returning greetings. Senator Allen moved that the reply should present the compliments of the Nebraska populists and say they are Bryan for the next president. He then made his position very plain and made no effort to conceal the fact that he was for the endorsement of the demo cratic candidate , first , last and always. William Dech insisted that the con vention could not now say what dele gates were to say when they came to St. Louis , especially not before it had permanently organized. He urged th& convention to be careful to act in ac cordance with the principles of the party as founded , as early a s 1SG0 , with such men as Peter Cooper. He de manded a call of the roll. Senator Allen urged that the action proposed would tend to perpetuate the party and not to disintegrate it. The roll was called after considera ble delay. The result was G99 for Mr. Allen's motion to send the telegram and 34 against. A motion was then made that the vote in favor of Bryan be made unani mous. The motion was subsequently withdrawn. The committee on permanent organ ization had reported that the order of business be calling the roll of congres sional districts , these replying by pre senting the names of delegates to be selected by them at their various cau cuses held this morning. Senator Sprecher protested against the carry ing out of any action taken before 2 o'clock , as that was the hour the con vention was called , and anything agreed to before that hour was illegal. His county was not represented at all at any caucus. The selections made were , after a few changes in the first district , ratified by the convention. Senator Sprecher is against the nom ination of Bryan , holding that if the populist party has no principles on which to select its own candidates , it virtually gives up its right to exist and appeal for the suffrages of men. The delegates chosen are as follows : First district , Beardsley. Spamp , Mor gan , Briggs. Swan , Cornell. Abbott , Lancaster , Plummer. Second district , Thomas , Nownes. McAardle , Cowles , Magney. Buck , Keeney.CurtisSpra rue. Third district , Baird , Baker. Crockett , Reed , Saunders , Lenger , Brj'ant. McCabe - Cabe , L. J. Abbott. Fourth district , Howard.

For the third delegate-at- lanre the fiarht was between J. A. Edgerton of Lancaster and Joe Edger- ton of Grand Island. The roll call re sulted : Joe Edgerton , 412 : J. A. Edjrer- ton , 300. J. A. Edgerton , John Quinn and Father Snyder of Valley were elected alternates-at-large. Resolutions adopted declare free sil ver to be the paramount issue in the campaign , and that the time has come when one of the cardiual principles oc the party could be chrystalized into legislation by a union of reform forces , and declare it the sense of this conven tion that the delegates to St. Louis use all honorable means to secure Bryan 's endorsement. Mr. Dech again deired to object , but was drowned out by the convention and not given a hearing. Governor Holcomb , Senator Allen and W. L. Green addressed the convention. Harrity Declined Second PI ce. Chicago , July 13. It is authorita tively stated that free silver leaders declared some of them to W. F.

John Miller , I assignor of one-fourth to E. E. Gatchel , ( both of Stuart. Iowa , ) has been allowed a patent for hardening r H t copper. The primary object of the J ' B patent law is not for individual benefit , \ 9M but for the public good and a monopoly of any patentable discovery or inven- il tion is granted in view of getting it on H record so it cannot become a lost art. I Mr. Miller's invention consists in a f composition and a process for hardenJ , jfl ing copper , ( covered by separate claims ) 3 and is an important improvement in metallurgy. A razor and other edge " " ' tools exhibited show that ductile B copper has been hardened to adapt it H foi making edge tools that require strength and durability.
