SOCIETY SUCCU MBS TO HIE INEVITABLE Hot mill SnHry Wrndicr > f nut l'ln > cit Snil llii\oo \Vlin Conic unit < o , Not since the period of Hickcloth and nshci Immediately pmcillng Kiilprtldo Ins Omaha loclety boon so thoroughly dead ns H has been during the past week Thh la an extravagant btnteuifiit. In view ot the many v.rcks of quietude that have Inlcivrned nlnco the conclusion of the Lenten season , but It appears lo ho Justified by the fcatclty of notable cvtnls on the week's calendar. The city may bo lll.cncd to n Uesutcd Vil lage a m.iss of bilck and mortar reflecting monotony nnd breeding the blues It will not bo ncceK'ary to hold nny post mortem examination to discover the cause ot so ciety's death. H Is merely another case of prostration by the heat , followed with fatal results. It may not bo good form to discuss the wpather , but ono can scarcely explain the dcniHi of society news during HIP week past without fiactuiliig Iho rule thai wisely bars out from polltu society such a dull and uninteresting subject as "wcathci. " The Eoclcly that Is left within thu city's walls U thai portion which Is kept here by the demands of business The noolcty man force to remain here nnd rnako the most ot It adopts a mellow mood of har mony , catering to his iKslits as a sorl of recompense for not being a full-flidgcd man of leisure. Hut the major part of the real swagger set has dilftcd awa > . Some 1mc iono abroad not so many as In past sea sons , but still a few ; others are enjoying the cool breezes of the mountains ; many of their friends nru Idly stretching themselves on the sands of the scaslioie , still others are at the lakes nearer home , mostly In the neighboring states Then there are a few favored families who are enjoying the de lights of their country homes In the Immc- tlluto suburbs of the cltj. Once In a while a member ot ono of these families llultcrs into town , but ah\ns appears like a lost pigeon from the cote. The Chambcrlaln-Ualbich wedding al Council IHuds on Thursday allrncted a no- tahlo gathei Ing. w lilch Included about all the society people of Omaha not away on tholr vacations Then llieie was the Keunaid dancing party on Friday night , which , de- Bpllo Iho Intense heat of the evening , was an enjoyable affair To say that an event in weather llko Mils Is enjoyable Is no mean praise. Beyond these two events there has been nothing to rail out elite society , or that portion of It which has been left behind. It has been too close and sullry lo allow of any bicycle parties , and the trol ley parties ot the week have wandered slightly beyond socletj's realms The oullook for Hie Immediate future Is not a bright one , though the fall season promises lo start In brightly as well as early , and will Inaugurate a splendid scries of red-letter functions. Tlio grand ball ol the Knights of Ak-Sar-Ilcn Is uot far dis tant , and the fashionable modlslcs are said t * be klrjidjr receiving orders for armu now and elegant gowna. An event that will occur In the near future that Is nol looked forward to with any great amount ot pleasure , but rather with sincere general regret , la the removal from the city of a family that has contributed more than Iti share to the success ot the leading society events ot Omaha for several bcasons past , The appointment ot Mr. Lorln J. Drake to n position with the company with whlcl : h < 5 has long been Identified will ncccssllaU his living In Chicago , This will deprive Omaha of one of Its few princely enter tainers , and rob society of ono of Its falresl buds. Miss Drake , since her entrance InU society last fall , has made a host ol friends for herself , who are quite unwilling to sec her go Chicago , ever a lucky city Is to be congratulated on Us piospccllv < acquisition. IIiiil ii Seluibc-rl L ciiliiK. The musical and music loving people o Kearney wens afforded a rare Ireat Wedncs day evening , by a Schubert evening , glvci by Miss Connor and her pupils This \vai the fourth ot her "Musical Illustrations , ' the preceding having been Handel , Haydi and Mozart , Beethoven and Mendelssohn. The program was opened with a brief , bu Interesting and comprehensive biography o the composer , by Miss Connor , from which i few quotations will not bo amiss Speaking of his devotion to music , sin said : "Aside from his music , Schubert' : lito has llttlo or nothing , and thai Is U : most peculiar and Interesting facl. It wa ; not his principal mode of expression , It wai his only one. "Dut his art Is overflowing with all Ilia Is wanting elsewhere. Here wo find fluency acutcncss. Imagination , tenderness and th happiest invention. Who writes so freshly so easily and with such consummate grae as does Schubert ? Critics agree h pronouncing him the most poetical and spou taneous genius who has ever lived. HI musical Invention was alwa > s characterize ! by refinement , originality , absolute natural ness and simplicity of design " The first number of the musical progran was a duct , 'Tantaslo op. 103 , " by Mis niancho Finch mid Mrs Augustus Frank Schubert's duets are characterized by ; line rythmlc awing and a melodic quality with pretty , effective surprises , and th rendition by these two favorite pianist charmed tb'o listeners Tlio facility am elasticity of execution and the cxpicsalv softness In the minor passages , both In till number and the "llondeau op. 138" whlcl followed later In the program , were alllc satiating to the critical listener. A novel number was a tianscilptlon h Liszt of "Hark. Haik the Lark , " Intioduce by the song Itself , sweetly sung by Mis Morgan. The transcription was execute by Mrs. Spnftord , nnd to thoho who had no hoard , her before , her delicacy of toucl and her force In the stronger passages , wcr n genuine pleasure. Her playing Is effectlv and replete with expression nnd an In dividual Interpretation. 1'erhaps the gem of the evening was Mis Morgan's "irl King" certainly It may b characterized the surprise of the evening Its rendition Is considered most dlnicull b accomplished artists ; but Mlas Morgan' voice met every demand made upon It b the unusual style of ( he music , and sh thrilled her hearers with ' . , er own dcpt ! of feeling and her abandonment Into th spirit of the composer. The lltllo brealhles silence , breaking quickly Into applause epoko the appieclatlon which she met , an- - the enjoyment of Miss Connor's marvelous ! effective accompaniment. Tow who listened to Mlsa Harlocker coul believe that the day before she had bee ; run over and badly hurt by a runawa horse and carriage. She plajed u doubl number , and In the "Mlnuotto In n mlnoi op. 78 , " through the grace of the move went , slow , melodious and jet expressive ono could set ) the Htutely figure move li their sutlns and brocades , over the pollshc floor. The "Impromptu" was finished I : execution and true In every detail. Miss Hai locker has been coming fror Hastings every week during the past jea to study with Miss Connor , and those wh hsard her play Wednesday night , as wel a these who had known her before , wll certainly predict for her a bright future She has the ease and interpretation of true pianist. Mra , I'lcrco'a rendering of three very dli similar tongs in her triple number , ws exquisite. Her voice U a clea'r. hlg soprano of unusual quality , and she dc lighted everyone * . The "Serenade" arranged aa a quartet , wa given by Mrs. Pierre , Miss Marston , Ml frank , Jr. , and Mr. Carson , and thl alvvaj popular composition was well presented I its new dress , The closing number of the program , b Mlsa rinch , comprising "Fantasia op. II The "Wanderer. " the "Allegro con Tuoc and Adagio , " brought Into play all the vei satlle powers of the brilliant performer , an her audience listened Intently to the varle moromenta , blended with such skill an expression.

"The hanging of Claude Hoover , " said one of the prominent lesldunta of this city , "ie- in hula mo ot some of my caily e\peilcncrs In Montana , when Hat stale was nothing but a wild mining camp For some llmo law lessness had run riot and lite and pioppity appcarenl to luuo n better chance lo be sirrl- ficpd than to bp prescrvqd. Thoic woio signs ot a coming istorm manifested 'iy the law- bhlliiK portion of the community , which steadily grow until It was only a question of some n'ggiavatcd case coming up to cause It to break out. It was not long wnltlns for nn opportunity An Innocent German went down Ihe gulch from Virginia City to look for a mule which was missing and whlth had evidently been stolen. Ho found tup mule , but It cost him his life "The finding ot Iho dead body of Iho Ger man was Ihe sign for the breaking out of the storm , and the now thoiouglily aroused citizens soon tinced the cilmo to a lough character named George Ivcs He was captured , nnd then the question arose ni to what method should ho adopted to dispose ot him Thcro we-ro two factions , one ot which proposed thai ho should bo U led by w hat was known as a miner's court , the verdict of which was arrived at by taking a vote ot the entile number ptescnl. Ilio moic conservative faction proposed to give the ac cused as near a legal Irlnl aa was possible under the existing conditions They Dually prevailed and n Jury was empaneled ami a Judge appointed. A wagon box served as a dock and another for the Judge and jury W , F. Sanders , who was afterward senator from Montana , was appointed as the piose- cutlug atlorney and a young Kentucklan named Ihurman was designated to defend Ives , nnd right lo > ally did he stand by his client.

VHHDICT PHOMPTLY KXHCUTUD. "A verdict of guilty as charged was promptly rendered , and ns promptly cairled Into effect Iheio was no appeal to the su preme court and no pleadings foi e-xecutlvp clemency. This hanging quieted the lawless element for a time , but they soon resumed their old wajs Horses wcie stolen , men who were out on the many trails leading from tlio mining camps to the larger seltle- nienta were held up and robbed and if they offered any resistance were murdered , Finally some papers fell Into the hands ol the law-abiding element which showed there was a regularly organized gang of lo.id agents , regular accounts of their doings were kept nnd a divide ot the proceeds of the forajs made. The gang vas shown to num ber at least eighty and Henry Plummer , the sheriff ot the county , was ascertained to be its leader. "This dlscovciy led to the formation of a regularly organized vlgllcnce committee and the members of the committee walled until they could catch as many of the gang In lovvn as possible before making any move. When the time for action came they quietly placed a guard around the camp at night In ordpr to prevent the escape of any of theli Inleiided victims Some of them got wind ol the raid In some manner nnd did make theli escape , but five of the most notorious ol them were captured. A prompt trial and a ready rope were provided and the five were hanged before the selling of Ihe sun UK next day. Three of these were Boone Hoi lum. Jack Gfllaghcr , who was a resident o ! Omaha before he went out Into that country and "Big Foot George. " The names of the other tw o have escaped me. "One of those who escaped was caughl some time after over near Hcllgatc , which Is In the vicinity ot where the city of Helena now stands. He had suffeicd greatly from the cold and his feet vvero frozen. His con- dlllon , however , did not save him. One diffi culty In disposing of the victim was en countered There was nol a Irce , wagon longuo or anything else In the neighborhood to which he could be hung. The problem wns finally solved by selling him on a horse behind one of Ihe vlglluiilcs , lying his feel and hands securely , placing one end of Hit rope around his neck and tlelng the othei end to the pummel of the saddle. The horse was given a vigorous application of whip and spur and the victim slid oh : behind and his neck was broken by the sudden Jerk THHlTY-FIVn HANGnD , ALL TOLD. "Henry Plummer , the leader of the gang was Iried by Ihe vigilantes over at DunnocV City and hanged. Other members were caught and executed at various places , and altogelhcr , thirty-five paid the penalty ol their crimes through the Instrumentality ol the vigilantes "Tho most notorloiis'man who over Infester the border also met his death at the bands of the vigilantes of Virlgnla City , but II was for no connection with this band of road agents. This was Slade. who before coming to Virginia City had left a bloody trail behind - hind him on the great overland trail. He was engaged In freighting from Salt Lake tf Virginia City , and also ran a dairy JUKI one- side of the camp and sold milk to thu miners When sober he was gentlemanly and peace able , bul when In his cups was possessed ol the spirit of a ( lend. Sometimes his disposi tion took a lurn lo deslrojlng properly which he Invariably paid for when sobered up He was nol hanged for any partlciilai thing he had done , but on geneial principles the vigilantes having decided the communlt ) would bo belter off without his presence am1 they had no desire to rid themselves of hi : company nt the expense of any other carthlj community.
