oui IIU Peculiarly Kmbnr-
.Situation ,
Tomorrow's election is the theme which
has captured the minds of the people during
the past few weeks , and there Is but llttto
now that the average citizen takes Interest
In outside of the question of wtio will win at
the polls , A meeting of the democrats was
held yesterday aftcmoou at the court house.
Most of the party leaders were there. Includ
ing 0. D. Walter * , Thomas Bowman , Brooks
Uoed and others , and the preparations for
the rlnal charge on the enemy were made.
Just what took place behind the doors Is
not known , but on the best of democratic
authority it is loarncd that the democrats
feel somewhat blue over the prospects. .They
affect a great deal of assurance , claiming
everything from governor down , but when
It comes to | luttintr up money to back their
claims they contrive to change the subject.
Some gambling is done on the result In Pot-
tawatlamlo county , but even there the dem
ocrat. * ; wiio used to gave a corner on every
thing , have not the hardihood to claim very
strongly that their whole ticket will be suc
cessful. JN'O one can be found who wilf bet
even mouov on Boie , and even some of the
strongest democrats concede that Jackson is
as good as elected.
DfTectg oT the Can van.
DOf the republican candidates , John M.
Scanlan , who Is running for county sheriff ,
is said to have the Dcst chances for election.
Sheriff Hazcn , his opponent , hus caused
some complaint by the laxity of his rules
coverning the prisoners , while Scanlan , dur
ing his twoyearsof service as chief of police ,
has gained a good reputation as an ofllccr.
Both men have made n thorough canvass of
the county , nnd "although each claims to
have the itishlo track , each admits that if ho
is elected it w ill bo by a very close shave.
The fight that was inaugurated against
Brooks Heed , the democratic candidate for
treasurer , has been going rnorrlly on for the
last week. It is now charged tnat Heed's
books show that the interest ho received
from the deposit of the county funds in the
various hanks has been turned into the
treasury. This information has leaked out
in conversations with friends of Reed , but
there has boon no opportunity as yet for con
firming the report. Mr. Heed was seen
yesterday nnd uskstt as to the truth of the
report , but he stated that ho was both deaf
and dumb and intended to remain in that
happy condition uutll after election.
"Somo of these newspapers seem to know
moro about my affairs than 1 do ; you go and
as them for any Information you want. "
Ho refused to open up his oftico for the
purpose of allowing his books to bo ex
amined , on the ground that it was Sunday.
He still says , however , that any one who
wants to look over his books will be wel
come any time today or after election , par
ticularly after election.
KeiMl'n "Chrlstliiiis Promts. "
If this report is true and Treasurer Reed
has really turned the interest , otherwise
known as "Christmas presents , " over to the
county , It is only recently. An examination
has been made into the report which ho
turned In to the Board of Supervisors last
July , and it contained .no mention of any
interest. If he has ' 'doctored" his
books so as to make this item ap
pear , it has been done merely for the
purpose of evading the storm of dis
pleasure that has fallen upon him smco
the first damaging disclosures wore made.
It is admitted on all sides that for him to try
to get out of tlffi scrape in this way is the
very worst llitn ? he could do , as it Is a tacit
admission that he has been nipping funds to
which ho had no right. Ho refuses to denj
that his books have been ' "doctored , " so that
it seems reasonable enough to suppose that
they have.
Some of Kecd's democratic friends claim
that all the talk that has goue the rounds
about his alleged crookedness has really
helped him , but it is hum to see how it could
have such an effect. At any rate the friends
of C. B. Walte , the republican nominee , are
redoubling their energies In taKing advan
tage ot the anti-Heed agitation , and bis
prospects for success are considered good.
I'ur the I.egUluturs.
X. M. Pusey and P. G. Weeks have been
making ono of the hottest fights for election
to the legislature that has ever been seen in
Pqttawattamie county. Pusey lias talked
before largo audiences In every township in
the- county , and wherever he has appeared
has made a most favorable impression. En
couraging reports como iu from all sides.
Both candidates on the republican ticket are
first-class men , and if elected , will represent
Pottawattamie county In the legislature
most ably.
Lr. li. B. Jcnnin'gs. the republican candi
date for coroner , is another man whose
chances tor election are said to bo excellent.
Ho is well known in every part of the
county , and wherever ho 's known ho is
hichly respected , a thing which can hardly
bo said of the man who is opposing him on
the democratic ticket.
\V. C. Davis , republican candidate for
superintendent of instruction , is ono of the
best known educators In the county. Perry
Kerney and E. Blanchard , candidates for
supervisor and surveyor respectively , are
men , for whom any republican can cast his
ballot knowing that If they arc elected they
will bo a credit to the people who put them
into oftlce.

his shorter companion who did the deed , the

ized the people of the city so thoroughly two
or three wcclcs ago. As Clinc was p.isslrm the
intersection of Eighth street with Avenue
E ho saw two men who had been walking
ahead of him turn around and come back
toward him. Just before they met they
parted so a to allow Clinc to pass between
them. The taller man threw his arm around
Clinc's neck and bore him to the ground ,
and , as he lay prostrate , the smaller man
went through his pockets. Fortunately
Clino's finances wcro depleted and nls as
sailants were compelled to admit their dis
appointment when they let him up. The
victim was able to get a good loot ! at the
two men while they were coing through his
pockets , and thinks that 11 he ever sees them

MAKING B1EN HOLY.
Mr. PilUerion Hayn the Work Goes On
Slowly but Surely.
At the First Presbyterian church yester
day morning the pastor , Hev. J. M. Patter
son , preached on the parable of the leaven.
The parable of thn leaven teaches specifi
cally four lessons :
First The need of a power exterior to
man to bring him to his high destiny. Mr.
Patterson did not dwell upon the doctrine of
total depravity , but discussed the so-called
doctrine of evolution. He acknowledged
there was much in it , but also claimed that
in the sphere of morals evolution was quite
as likely to result in degeneration as In
purification. He cited the facts of family
discipline and civil government as evidence
that people do not believe it is rafo to leave
'
men with license to do as they please , The
leaven did not belong to the meal , but was
a foreign element introduced ; so the gospel
was brought by Christ and hid in man.
The second lesson is that this gospel
leaven operates from within outward. The
leaven must be put in the meal , not on top
of it. So the gospel must find lodgment in
the human heart. Its chief concern is with
the heart. It does not tell men to quit their
meanness , to reform , to lop off this and that
bad habit , but co be converted , to give their
heart to God. The work that bcgtns thus
ends in a revolution of the life.
The third lesson teaches that the leaven
works by assimilation. It dues not change
the meat into something else , docs not turn
the corn meal into wheat flour , but it leavens'
it all , imparts Its own character to the ele
ments as it finds them. So the gospel does
not Impart any new elements of character ,
but sanctities those it finds. It does not
make Peter over into John or Mary into
Martha. It did not make David a musician.
but it did make him the sweet singer of
Israel. It did not make Moses a great gen
eral , but it did make him the leader of Israel.
It simply consecrates man's natural talents
and tendencies and makes him a God-fearing
man with all his peculiar tastes and tend
encies.
Fourth The parable teaches the com
pleteness of the work of grace. The leaien
ceases not to operate till it effect ) every
particle of the mcul. So grace won't c < "as i
till it makes a saint out of the vilest tinner.
This work of making man holy 11 very
slow. Life is always slow. Death aloin. is
sudden. But though slow , it is ccrtaif.
Holiness shall be written over the brain and
heart and character of the Christian.
Then this suggests the universal sway of
Christ. A little leaven leavcncth the whole
lump. This is. the only leaven adapted to
all men. It is the only one that makes its
way by its present utility. Christianity In
spires the brain and gives us the implements
of our modern civilization , and all men
begin to inquire after it.
Doro's last picture of the Valley of Tears
Is based upon fact. The lame and the siuk
and the dying come to him and ho blesses
them.
Rulers arc bringing their crowns and sol
diers their swords and the signs of univer
sal conquest grow brighter day by day.
Mr. Tuber' * Or an Itecltul.
Mr. Tabcr gave the first of his ' -Sunday
afternoon recitals" at the First Congrega

the appearance and Intense Interest of the
audience , ho should feel encouraged. Mr.
Tuber has always been known as an artistic.
and earnest music lover as well us a bril
liant and talented organist of the highest
grade , and his latest indea , viz. , that of play
ing a series of "Sunday afternoon recitals. "
ib suie to bo warmly received and appreci
ated by the music lovers of Oiraha.
Mr , Tabor played a program of great va
riety and ho displayed remarkable versa
tility in his selections. His rendition of the
"Magnificat , " by Ed I-.emaiJre , a French
composer , was tine , and his -Grand March , "
from Hienzle , was excellent. The ' 'Barca

Sped ( led i'robitltto Action.
The cxccutivo committee of the Commer
cial club held a meeting last Saturday after
noon and decided to uiaKo a change In the
; ccretarjshlt > of that organization ,
Cnalrmati Gibbon was authorized to sco
Secretary Hoggcn and ask for his resigna
tion. It was also decided by the committee
to install Charles R Urcxel us the new sec
retary.
Mr. Gibbon yesterday notified Swrctar.v
Hogccn of the result of the committee incct-
lug , and asked for Mr. Uoggon's resignation.
The latter was not forthcoming. In fact , the
secretary positively refused to resign. This
was unexpected , and Chairman Gibbon con
sulted U. H. Payne and other members of
the executive committee , who insisted on
the resignation of the present secretary on
the ground that he was not "quick enough
on his foot. "
Mr. Hoirccn was duly notifisd of the
reasons why n chance was desired , but ho
would not resign and still holds thccbatr.
Clmrlci I' . Drcxel Chosen.
Charles V. Drexcl admitted yesterday that
he had been offered the position and would
assume his duties In the near future , pos
sibly Tuesday or Wednesday. Ho declined
to talk on the subject further than this. Ho
is a younc man who is ut present in the em
ploy of General Agent Fischer of the New
England Mutual L.lfo Insurance company ,
nnd one of the committee says that "ho Is a
great rustler. " The committee unanimously
decided on Drexel as n successor to Hogpen.
One commiueein.ui state.s positively that
Drexel will bo Installed , notwithstanding
Hopgen's refusal to resign. .
Sccietnry Hogpen warscen yesterday by
a BEE reporter. Ho refused to talk for pub
lication at that time , but said that ho had
bjen requested to resign yesterday and that
be had refused to do so. He wanted the com
mittee to state its reasons for desiring
his SIMp. !
Goorae II. Payne , a member of the execu
tive fommlttee , was Interviewed last even
ing upon the subject.
.Mr. I'nyue'i Statement.
"It Is just this , " said Mr. Payne. "Per
sonally 1 admire Mr. Hoggen. Ho is honest
as the day is long. The change is made
simply because Mr. lloggen Is not possessed
of hustling ability sufficient to hold down
the Job. Wo have got to have a man la the
position who is more lively ono who will
get out on the streets turn rustic up mem
bership , make prompt collections of money
due the club and attend to nil details
in that and other respects , with
dispatch. We hired Ropgen over three
months ago , on trial. IIu xvas taken for
ninety days with the understanding that if
his work was not satisfactory , he was to
vacate. After ho had bben in the position
thirty days it was plainly evident to me
that he could not fill the bill. We have
allowed him to remain over the expiration
of ninety days time. N6w , we have got an
other man for reasons above stated , and we
propose to put him in. Mr. Kojgen's
accounts are all right , but ho is not as
good a bookkeeper as Drexcl. All the
members of the committee esteem Mr. Rog-
gcn highly from a personal standpoint , but
ho is not a success as a secretary. The posi
tion pays $100 a month , and wo have had a
number of applicants for the place. Mr.
Drexel we regarded as the'best man , and he
.will assume the duties of the position Tues
day evening , when thu dab meets. A resolu
tion will bo adopted declaring Mr. Itoggen's
place vacant , and I have uo doub ; but that
the choice of the committee ' will be. promptly
ratified. "
Mr. Kogccn's friends in the club are in
clined to give his case a hjar.ug.
The club will meet next TuiaJay evening
and settle the matter.

lleiiwell'i ! CuitfeiMtuii ot the Crime Causes
Hill to I.isv IIu Krrrj.
Yesterday when Harry Hill was shown
the confession of his partner in the cruel
murder of Matthew Akcson he completely
wilted nnd said : "My God ! that will hang
us both. "
He retired to the further recesses of liis
cell and refused to talk any more about the
matter. After the officers withdrew he
nervously paced his cell and for the first
time seemed to loali/o the enormity of his
crime. Heretofore be has steadily refused
to talk and has at various times denied that
ho had anything to do with the crime. Ho
alleged that ho had never seen any of the
Akcson family , and although ho was posi
tively identified by the son or the murdered
man he said that it was all a mistake.
While ho was reading a copy of the confes
sion of Beiuvell. perspiration stood out on
his face in great beads and ho trembled.
After the prisoners wcro captured in Lin
coln they were brought to Omaha for safe
keeping. Saturday night Sheriff Tigho of
Cass county and ono or two otheis visited
John Ben well in his cell , and after severe
questioning Benwcll broke down and con
fessed that he and Hill committed the criico.
He said that no met Hill at Union last Mon
day. They went to Weeping Water and on
Tuesday went to work for Akcson husking
corn. They worked there ono day and were
paid off. Then they went to Weeping Water
and purchased a revolver of cheap make.
After n few drinks they concluded to return
to Akesou's and rob him. When they entered
the house Hill had the gun and Ben well had
a big club. Hill shot old man Ake-
son almost Immediately after entering
the kitchen because he would not hold
up his hands. The men made their escape
after murdering Akcson and after tramping
through the country fur two days concluded
to go to Lincoln aim separate. Tnoy were
spotted by Chief Cooper and Detective Malone -
lone within a half hour after they reached
Lincoln and wcro placed under arrest and
turned over to the sheriff of Cass county.
Bciiwoll and Hill have been Identified as

Accused of I'lylnj from Cilllornl.i in the
UuUe of n Tramp.
COLOHADO Si-itisos , Colo. , Nov. G. M. B.
Curtis , the actor , recently acquitted of mur
dering Police Officer Grant of San Francisco
and now said to be wanted there on charges
of bribing the Jury which acquitted him ,
parsed through hero on the Hock Island , on
his way east. Mr. Curtis is not in a very
amiable mood , and refused to say a word
about the last charge. *
' I am on my way east , " was all he would
say. "I did not skip from California , but
loft there to go to Now York to uiako ar
rangements about my now play. If you
want to taltt about that , all right. "
"It Is said , Mr. Curtis , that you fled from
California iu the disguise of a tramp. "
"I did uothim ; of the Kind. My lawyers
said that I could come away if I wanted to ,
and I guess they knew what they were talk
ing about.1
With this Mr. Curtis lost himself in the
fastnesses of his Pullman , and soon.atter the
train drew out.
A dispatch from San Francisco stated that
Mr. Curtis had escaped on a train from Cali
fornia disguised as u tramp and that when
he reached the Nevada state line and felt
lolor.ibly secure from arrest , he discarded
the old garments , which his experience as a
character actor enabled him to don over his
ordinary dress , washed the "tramp" make
up from his face and made his way back into
the Pullman. The colored porters on the
train were so noncommittal on this subject
that it is probably true.

Propped up in bed in a back room of
the Curtin boarding house John Curtin.
jr. , patiently notes the passincr _ of the
hours , bays the San Francisco Chronicle.
His hands are scarred by fire and his
arms bandaged , but he makes no mur
mur. He is only a boy in years , but it
has befallen him to undergo an experi
ence moro impressive and tragic than
ordinarily comes to mortals. Of the
little group who stood laughing in front
of the Curtin house last Sunday morn
ing four were killed and ono BO badly
maimed that death could come only as a
blessing. The boy alone survived with
nothing worse than a shock and bruises
that will soon pass away.
"How does it feel to be hlowntup with
dynamite ? " ho said , in answer to the
question. "Well , I can hardly tell you.
You see , it's sa euddun. It's over just
about the time you begin to understand
that something is happening. You know
I had the satchel in my hand , and had
put it down. Then I got afraid of it. All
at once everything was light. I don't
think I saw the lla-jh. Anyway , my face
was not exactly toward the explosion.
But then everything got light , lighter
than day kind of Winding. There was
an awful crash. I was beared , of coin-so ,
and wanted to get away. It was just as
if I was having a nightmare.
'Some way , though , I knew just what
the matter was. A man can think faster
than ho has any idea of. I knew that
some of the others were nearer the ex
plosion , and I Bald to myself : 'They're
blown overheard , sure.1 You under
stand this was all in a second , all at
once , reully. Then it was exactly the
i-urne as if I had been hit with a club. I
thought it was a big club , bigger than
any man could swing , and that it must
bo worked by machinery. It hit rae on
the head and all over. I wont sailing
into the air a long , long way. My ears
roared und the wind blew into my face.
' I knew when I struck the ground , for
I remember saying to myself ; ' 'Well ,
I'm done for.1 I don't know just when I
lost my right senses or when they came
back. It Heemcd queer that I was
there yet. I thought I had been thrown
somewhere cite. I could feel lire burn
ing me. It was my clothes. They were
smoking and almost blazing.
' I was lame all over , and could not
hear very well. My voice sounded like
somebody else was talking. That's all I
can tell you about being blown up. I
jiiHt wonder that it didn't ' kill me like it
did thu others.

The Boston Budget tells n fatory of two
Irlhhmcn who were tramping along the
road near Manchester. Ono of them
could not read at all ; the other could
read only sufllciently well to bo proud of
airing his accomplishment before his
companion. Their journoyings had
brought them into the neighborhood of
Manchester-by-tho-Sea.
Presently they encountered a sign
post. Mike stopped to read it and Pat
Btopped to hear him. Now the sign was
very simple und it said "Manchester ,
Seven Miles , " but it seemed to bother
Mike and ho looked puzzled. Pat waited
until his patience gave out.
"What does it guy' : " ' ho demanded.
"Mon-chascd-her " returned Mike

slowly. "Mon chased her biven inoiles , "
Put picked up his bundle in disgust.
"Sure , " ho remarked , "If ho wanted
