Secret Conference Between Tics-
Presiflent Arthur , ConHing
and .Platt

Which is Held at the Vice-Pres
ident's House to Avoid
Agents of thePress. *
"Without Succes is Absolutely
Certain , Conkling "Will De
cline to Become a Can-
A SECItET CONFEKEKCK.
NEW YOUK , May 23 1 a. m. A
matter connected with the Conkling
case , which has been kept a secret all
day , has just been learned by the agent
of the national associated press. Gen.
Arthur lias Jccnbusily engaged in
making inquiries , in his own way , as
to whether Conkling and Platt's
chances of re-election are good enough
to warrant allowing their names to go
in the cauvasa. Jle has-saUsfied him
self that they are. . At lialfpast three
o'clock yesterday afternoon General
Arthur sent a special messenger to the
Fifth Avenue hotel to notify Conkling
that he tras ready to report 011 the sit
uation. Arthur had previously noti
fied Platt. The agreement liad been
made to hold tlie conference at Arthur's
residence , in order to avoid agents of
the press. Accordingly Conkling at
once quietly .proceeded down tlie
Twentyfourth"street } > rivnto entrance
a'id getting Jnt > > the-carriage in"wait
ing , was dhven to Arthur's house.
The conference lasted over Iwo hours.
No one iras present but Conkling ,
Platt and Arthur. .Arthur gave a
summary result of his investigation
and endeavorcdtk ) impress upon Conk
ling the fact that hiB 'c-election could
Ins assured if jhe wpuld allow Ids , name
as a candidate , if Platt , was satisfied.
Conkling hesitated. He didn't wish
to take any risk , and preferred to re
main quiet a day or two longer , until
he was assured beyond all'-doubts of
his success before announcing even a
willingness to be re-elected. Arthur
dwelt upqn the argument- that fur
ther delay , in allowing tlie
use df f * liw > * name would
weaken his chances. Arthur is sure
tliat if Conkling declared himself in
the race thes'.nhvn.rtswouldn'ocktohis
side. Pl.itt supported A'rthur's argu
ment. Conkling sAid the facts-pre
sented were not sufficient to convince
him of the success absolutely certain
.ind decline , and would not allow any
declarations to be "made-as coming
from him , that he was a cyndidate for
re-election.
Word h.\s been scattered over the
c'uy and over the state tliat Conkling
will bo a candidate for reflection.
This is rallying the stalwarts who re-
ca'vo the-word from .headquarters and
believe.it comes from Jheir chief. If
the effect do'es not s&on show a cer
tainty of re-election , the announce
ment will b"3 made tli t the senator
had not authorized the statement tliat
lie was a candidate.

OSCEOLA , Neb. , May'18. Thisjscrf-
Kopof the state seldom receives men
tion in the Omaha papers , although
it is materially tributary to your city ,
and in point of productiveness and
thrift is second to no portion of Ne
braska. This season to all appear
ances will prove a "bonanza" to Polk
county. Crop prospects never were
better. The acreage of grain is larg
er th.\n usual , and _ farmers are rejoic
ing at Iho prospect of Abundant har
vests. Until the building of the 0.
&n. V. railroad in June , 1879 , our
country never had the advantages of
a home market , but a\l \ ita vast har
vests were hauled to other points out
side of the county. Now wo have
tliree stations in the county. The
inost important of these is Osceolathe
county sejfr , now a flouriahnrj town ol
eight hundred people. Notwith
standing tbo fact that the
town is located ne.ir the geographical
graphical centre of the county.
Since the burping of the court house
last January , various V'sionary schemes
have been enteitaioed by cit'zens of
Stromsbi'rg lor > ki g toward the even
tual moving of fie county seat. But
the question of building a coramodious
brick cou-t house with kuflic'cnt vault
room for holding the county records
is now rbout settled , thus checking
the cilhusiosm of those who desired
to throw the county into a pronged
county seat war. Last Satuixlay Os-
ceola precinct dcc'ded ' , by a vole 2CO
for to 51 against , to issue $3C30 in
prccincc bo-icls to a d in ilio construc
tion cf a brick court house at Osceola.
Next Saturday , the2Jsl , vhe people
'otporttho proposition as to whether
1-UnyBihking fund DOW in the treasury ,
Sunting to § 1,200 , shall be used for
adiko puipose. Theic are so many
reasons in favor of tliis proposi
tion that it will hardly fail to
receive a majority. With the
$ GOO insurance on the old build
ing there will be a fund of $ SOCO , suf
ficient to build a commodious brick
building that will answer the future
wants of the country. On the 7th
inst. school district bonds were voted ,
which will insure us a brick school
house , costing $3503. The above im
provements , involving an expenditure
of $11,020 , will directly benefit our
town , and will inaugurate an era of
prosperty in Osceola which will make
it one of the beat improved towns in
central Nebraska.
An item appeared in THE BEE , a
short time since , stating tliat there
were twenty-four ministers in Polk
county. Without an opportunity to
examine the census returns we should
say that THE BEE'S estimate is about
correct. If such a law as the Mont
gomery medical bill would be past con
cerning preachers , a majority of the o
divines would not bo unlike the
rural doctor" without authority-
practice his so-called profession.
Our county is prolific in churches ,
sunday schools , temperance societies ,
biblo. societies , , , woman suflnv-e
societies , rnd 'drug stores , Bu ( .
with all these hi h moral agencies the
brethren will occasionally "score"
each other on doctrinal points. This
was illustrated forcibly ot a session of
the County Sunday School convention
last week , wliore one of the reverend
gentlemen present road fin etsay on
"sectarianism" in which were personal
allusions , and severe strictures to
wards certain denominations holding
different views. The gauntlet waa
taken up and hot words were used ,
engendering much bad feeling. "Be
hold ! how pleasant it is for brethren to
dwell together in unity , "
A newspaper change will take place
here in about ten days. Calmer Me-
Cuno , formerly the versatile editor of
The Butler County Republican , hav
ing bought The Osceola Record of this
place. Mrs. Bittenbender , the
gifted lady who has presided
over Tlio Record so long , will
devote horsclf to tlio woman's suffrage
cause , she being secretary of the sta.te
organization. The cauao acorns to bo
waning here , not on account , however ,
of any lack of vigor on the pat fc of its
few lady champions , but more from its
inherent unpopularity.
The district court convenes here on
the 24th. The calender Inoludos some
sixty-five cases , most of which will
stand for trial the present term. Prob
ably no indictments will bo found by
the grand jury. Court will be held in
one of the churches , where , it would
seem , no criminal should be denied
the "benefit of the clergy. "
The new dress of THE BEE occa
sioned many favorable comments , and
good wishes for your fearless discus
sion of public questions. Boz.

NELIGII , Neb. , May 21 , 1881.-
Eight years ago , these magnificent

good stables , blossiming orchards , and

forty years. The class of people who

anddonf denytbtfy * iTomd TOglad to

once every nighl for two weeks.
Mr. Perry Mills , who has evidently
been chosen spo\esm.in fo" the parly ,
detailed to aBss reporter last evening
the full pai.iculors of the whole afiair.
He is a man of considerable inlelli-
gence , for.y-iive ypp.'s old , and says
the hand of vl-e law was never before
laid on him.
Said he : "This young man Stanton
came to our neighborhood two years
ago from Michigan. He had tramped
the whole way , and was received and
known as a tr mp. Mr. Ove 'lander ,
vho ownel a farm near to us , had
d'"ed a shoit time before , leaving all
his property to his wi'eilli the un-
deralanding , Vall ; s six clil'dren would
be well provided for. I was a wilress
to Ifce wi'l. Just before deatKhe de-
-eired lo change the will so aso Surely
provide for the ch'ldren , but having
full con dence in hs wife , and being
very rear to deailt , the paper was not
altered. Tlio widow had rented the
farm to Mr. S. R. Davis , and Stanton
was employed by him. This Sianton
is a shrewd fellow , and it wasn't long
before he obtained the good graces of
the widow , and by quarreling with
Davis succeeded in creating an ill
feeling bciween Mrs. Overlander and
her tenant. Scan Ion had a law
suit with him , and was all
the time backed up by the widow.
When the year was up Davia was re
fused the farm for any longer period ,
and Stanton rented it lor a year.
When Ovcrlander died lie left every
thing in good shape , plenty of stock ,
and grain , and money in the house.
Gradually everything began to dwin
dle away from her , and fell into the
hands of Stanton. He seemed to
liave the complete mastery of her.
She was induced to driee her chi'dren
from homo , and throw their clothes
out of doors when they refused to go.
Two shot-brought to tlrs cUy. One , a
girl of fourteen , she placed with a Mr.
Drake here ; a boy , ajed eleven , was
placed with a Mrs. Yandercook , also
hero. The two o'Jssi found employ
ment in tlie neighborhood , while the
two youngest , aged four and six , she
allowed to remain homo. All this was
done through the influence of this
tramp. Their conduct became a scan
dal to the neighborhood , and eveiy
soul in our midsi declared he should
bo dri7cn away. Fiual'y , ii became
too ho-Ior them. It WuS learned they
intended to take fli.1- , and they be
gan making prepora"ons for it. Mrs.
Overlander had becomequile straight
ened in circumstances.and we hare
evidence she gave Slanton a mortgage
on the farm. When the bills were
sent about announcing the sale of- her
perioial property , it was determined
it should be sl/opped for the sake of
the chi'dren. ' The ach'on to break the
will had been Insgun , and Stanton in
duced her to give him the possess-on
of everything so that ihe law could not
reach the property. On the morning
of the sa e , before breakfast , and be
fore anybo " , y could bo on the ground ,
Mrs. Overlander acted as auctioneer
and sold everything io Stanton. The
properly consisted of three horses , two
wagons , two cultivators ; one stirring
plow , one com sheller , one hay rake
and one corn planter. When tlrs
thing "became known the teehncf of the
people against this scoundrel found no
bounds , and though none of ua were
concerned in what was done to Stanton -
ton , we are all iandid enough to Eiy
we would take a great deal of pleasure
in giving him over again what he got
that night. "
The party were induced to tell the
reporter the story of the assault as
they learned it. The details were
given to Mrs. Orcrlander , and young
Mt'cGrcgor , who ig now running the
far.n.
It appears Mrs. Overlander and
Sianloi were in Ihe habit of coming
to Omaha very frcquenlly , returning
homo usually towards one o'clock in
the morning. On the night of the
assault they had been to Omaha and
relumed considerably af orm.'dni.hl.
Tlicy brought the bay and girl wiih
them , the complainings of the nelg -
bors in respect to Mrs. Oyerlandei *
leaving her children in Omaha being
toq much , fox her , it is. said. The
mother and children went into the
bwao , and. Slanton accompanied , tak
ing some things brought from Omaha.
Ho returnsd to unhitch the horses ,
a > nd had got to the barn door with
them when ho was seized. A struggle
followed , and his screams brought ihe
mother and the two children to the
scene Stanlon was , however , quioUy
hurried away ajid taken a distance of
two mjlcs , where the accoutrements of

Great excitement prevails in Jefror-
son precinct in consequence of these
arrests.
Mr. Mills denies that Stanton was
ever a constable. On one occasion he
was appointed , at his own request , a
deputy to levy upon a pig belonrjinc ;
to a widow. The widow gave him a
good bealuijf , rud he had her arrested
and fined.
"When the prisoners were arrainged
before Judge Anderson at 9 o'clock
this morning a postponement had been
agreed upon by Mr. [ Balliet , who ap
peared for ihe dstr'cc attorney , and
Col. E. F. S uythe and W. L. Council
on the part of the prisoners. General
O'Brien was assoc'aied ' with M.r. B.\l-
liet. The ostensible rc.ison for this
l ostponement is the desire of the far
mers to avail themselves of the
ieason for pkmting. The case will
come up Juae 3d. Each of the pris
on ers was held in $200 bail , which waa
read1y ; given and the prisoners de
parted.
Some dark insinuations are made in
respect to the birth of two ciii'dren by
Mrs. Over'auder in the pas. two years ,
and t'-ie ' men last evening said vha ;
startling disclosures would yet come
out of lh's affair.
Detectives have been employed to
fathom the mystery ofihesc birihsbut ,
a BeB reporter , wi i a shadow of a
clue , was enabled u > unravel tliejwho'e
affair and Ke.l'e beyond question that
there is bui ono birth around which
there is the hallo of suspicious cir
cumstance.
A few months after { 'ie death of her
husband Mrs. Overlander gave birth
to a child , now alive and ' ing with
her on the farm.
| ( Last July Mrs. Ovcrlander came to
the city and took up her residence
with Mrs. Dr. Julia E. Vandercook ,
who has an office on Sixteenth street ,
between Dodge and Capital avenue ,
and a residence in West Omaha. She
is the same person with whom Mrs.
Overlander placed her boy above men
tioned.
On the 28th of July Mrs. Over-
hinder gave birth to a boy. After re
maining there three
weeks she returned to her home , but
the child waa left behind. Soon
after she made a confession of the
whole matter to lady acquaintance ,
and bogged of her to adop- the child ,
but merely as a ruse to enable her
lo re-adopt the boy from this con-
iidante. Mrs. Overlander further
confessed that SL-.nton , who was
' ; tred and. feathered , was the father
c' the child.
"Where it is now is a matter of con-
jccLure , "b'ut it is certain that the
Mother , and Stanton , and Mrs. "Van-
< "ercook know of its vnereabouls.
Stanton , being questioned about the
child , pronounced it a pure falsehood ,
and said that Mrs. Overlander liad
not given birih to any child since the
death * f her husband. He , however ,
showed considerable nervousness
while being questioned.
