sundown last night , took n clothesline and
walked Into a wooded ravlno near the house.
His sister Ellen , who saw his movements

dead. Terror lent bravery and power to
the young girl and , Judging the limb from
which ho hung would not hold the weight of

onto the limb. She - as mistaken as to its
strength and Was obliged to climb back to
the trunk , from which she reached out and
secured a knife from her brother's pocket
and cut the rope. Ho was nearly strangled
to death , but the prompt action saved him

The first county nominating convention o
the campaign will bo held nt the poptillit
headquarters on Howard street neu Satur
day afternoon. At this convention the Doug
las county populists will select delegates to
both the state and Judicial conventions and
Incidentally decide whether the office-hold
ing clement Is to rule In the councils of the
party This latter question Is thn one that
Is loaded and unless all signs fall the pro
ceedings In this particular win bo pepper }
enough to be Interesting. The ndmlnis'ratlon
populists headed by Klincr 13. Thomas , J 0.
Yclscr and several other well known part }
leaders , are fixing thingup to effect n
postponement of the convention to the date
on which the democratic convention Is to
bo held. This plan \lgorously opposed by
a largo section of the party and as those
have the county organlratlon they promise
to gl\e the administration populists a lively
skirmish. Doth sldcH are preparing for n
decisive fight on the floor of the convention
and each asserts the utmost confidence of
success.
Sentiment In favor of the nomination of
n straight populist county tl'ket Is largely
contingent. It Is apparently n controversy
between a section of the party that proposes
to fuse on a popuflst basis or not at nil , and
another clement that favors continuing to
concede a good deal to the democrats for the
privilege of working In double harness
thiough the campaign. The count } populist
organisation , for which the 1'ctcr Cooper
club asserts Itself as spokesman , is asserted
to be undeniably In favor of no compromise.
Its members declare that the } arc icady to
fuse on only ono condition and that is that
the populists secure the lion's share of the
plunder. "They have been playing horse with
us long enough , " declare Its most prominent
members , "and now we propose to bo the
dictators. A. year ago Charley Tanning and
the rent of the gang slated us us having 700
votns In the county and we were ticatcd on
that basis. But since then the Winter-
Shields contest has demonstrated that we
cast 2,33"i votes last fall and we are now
In a position to Insist on our rights. Wo
propose to have at least four nlnccs on the
county ticket , and If we don't get them we
will put up a straight ticket of our own. "
rlfvht on the AiliiilnlMtrntlnn.
A well defined and widely spread hostility
to the state administration is an element
that flEiirea In the primary fieht. Members
of the county central committee assert that
the populist organization has been Ignored
In every Instance and that the local demo
cratic machine has been permitted to dic
tate terms over Its head. They nseert that
If a populist goes to Lincoln after n job he
Ss first asked whether ho Is a member of the
county organization or the Peter Cooper
club. If he replies In the affirmative he la
turned down without ceremony In favor of
an applicant who Is more closely asscclated
with the democratic clement. This feeling
Is an active factor In Infusing an acrid
spirit Into the fight and no secret Is made of
the fact that It Is proposed to flaunt It
openly In the convention.
In view of the uncertainty that prevails In
regard to the action of the convention pop
ulist candidates are not as numerous as
they might be If chances of nomination TV ere
more apparent. While there Is a general
understanding that a liberal representation
on the ticket will be Insisted on If fusion Is
to succeed no one Is certain Just what of
fices the exigencies of the situation will per
mit to drop Into the populist basket. As
nearly as the sentiment Is expressed by
local members of the party It demands that
the populists shall have county clerk , county
treasurer , county superintendent of schools ,
a commissioner In the Third district and at
least one representative on the Judicial
ticket. Their candidate for county clerk Is
Charles C. Curtis of South Omaha , who went
to the legislature two years ago. J. N.
Robinson of the Sixth ward Is being pushel
for county treasurer. Superintendent Elliott
of the Elkhorn schools 1 groomed for
county superintendent and A. J. Williams
of Irvlngton Is the most active candidate for
Peter Hofclflt's shots
night hero U one of the places In which
the populist program Is menaced by a snag.
That the democrats will turn Hcfcldt down
In favor of a populist Is not believed. But
a considerable faction of the populist party
declares that It will have this place or
nothing , and there } ou are.
Pending the fcetttement of the fusion
proposition there are no open candidates for
the remaining places on the county ticket.
In caeo It Is decided to go It alone , J. W.
Barnctt , chairman of the county central
committee , will probably be a candidate for
sheriff. Louis J. Ihm la mentioned for clerk
of the district court and S. I. Gordon IB as
siduously cultivating the acquaintance of the
populist workers with a view to securing the
endorsement of the- party for county Judge.
In regard to county surveyor the party Is
up a stump , for Investigation has failed to
repeal a populist In Douglas county who
knoivs a transit /iom a load of hay.
.Mixed on Dlxtrlet JmlueN.
The Judicial question Is also decidedly
mlxcl fiom a popu 1st standpoint. The only
candidates who are being considered by the
rank it-id file are George A. Magney of the
Klghtli ward and Martin Langdon of the Sev-
< nth. Jt develops , however , that Yclser and
one or two others have loaded themselves
with a ( ontiact to Induce the populists to
nominate C. n. Scott , and this is a subject
for another muse.
In connection with the selection of the
delegation to the state convention U Is do-
tlireU that the Douglas county populists arc
for nnyono except their one-tlmo hero , SI
Holcomb. Workers who claim to represent a
majority of Ibc purty In this county declare
that Holrcmb ? old them out to the demo
crats and that new U the time to Impress
the stamp of ulrappioval where It will do the
most good. It bes been suggested that Gov
ernor Ho'comli ' In ready to withdraw from
the cmmini if any marked opposition to his
candidacy Ouvrlopo and there la every Indi
cation 'hat hu will have a chance to exhibit
his patrlollfin in the manner suggested ,
Thri'iiarles to select delegates to the
county convention will be held Tb.un.day ,
August 10 , from 7 to 9 o'clock. Kach ward
In Omaha will be entitled to nlno delegates ,
each ward in South Omaha to five and each
country rrtdnct to five , making 1G6 delegates -
gates In all , Profiting by some pat t experi
ence In the administration methods the
county central committee has decreed that
llsli of af ! delegates to be voted for In Omaha
and South Omaha must be sent to the sec

CLEVELAND , Aug. G. No violence of
any kind has occurred In connection with
the street car strike for more than thlrty-
elc bourn , and as a result two additional
companies of militia were relieved from
duty today.
That the boycott sentiment Is on the
decline there Is no longer a doubt. There
Is a marked Increase In the number of
passengers carried on the Big Consolidated '
lines each day. This is especially true' '
along the Broadway and Brooklyn lines ,
where the boycott has been moat pro
nounced.
The business men , wholesale and retail
merchants , representing nearly every line
of trade , have , In conjunction with tho'i '
Chamber of Commerce , taken stops toward
making an organized fight against the boy
cott. Committees have been appointed to
canvass the city in order to secure the co
operation of trades people generally , nnd
already many of them have agreed to disre
gard the 'boycott ' from this time on. The
strikers , on the other hand , declare that
they are receiving liberal donations for
their support and are In a position to keep
up the fight Indefinitely.
About 250 representatives of leading busi
ness houses have alined resolutions de
nouncing the boycott and these resolutions
were adopted at a meeting this afternoon.
The business agent of the strikers Issued
a statement this afternoon , In which hr
sas the strikers are not back of the boy
cott movement. Ho says they arc very
grateful to their sympathizers who have
refrained from riding on the cars , but they
are not In favor of using the boycott to
punish people who are willing to ride on
the cars. N
This morning's newspapers contained a
statement from Mayor Farley about "pro
fessional labor men , " In which no names
were mentioned , "but In which the mayor
severely scored the agitators.
This afternoon Peter Witt , a populist
orator , brought suit ifor $10,000 damages
against the mayor and each of the two
papers that published the statement , claimIng -
Ing that the mayor referred to him. Mayor
Farley sas he does not know Witt and
never saw him.

NAIIANT , Mass , Auc. G. Martin Garcia
Merou , minister of the Argentine Republic
to the United States , was Interviewed today
by a representative of the Associated Press
concerning recent news dispatches bearing
upon the Journey just undertaken by Gene -
e > 'al Roca , president of the Argentine He-
public , to the United States of Brazil , which
has given occasion for rumors of nn alleged
alliance between the nations of the southern
extremity of the continent against the
United States. Senor Merou said-
"The Invention Is so absurd that I find U
somewhat hard to trouble } ou with the re
quest that you publish a complete denial of
It. The visit of General Hoca Is a friendly
and cordial compliment paid to a nation with
which we have the most pleasant political
and commercial relations. Tor many years
wo have had a boundary controversy with
Brazil , inherited from the colonial times of
the respective countries , which was sub
mitted to the arbitration of President Clove-
land. With this cause of possible misunder
standing among our peoples removed nnd
finding at the head of the Brazilian govern
ment a statesman of the high attainments I
I
of President Campo Salles , General Itoca un
doubtedly has thought It wise nnd con
venient to close the links which unite the
two largest and most Important republics
of South America by this visit.
Iliichnnnn ActM nn I'miilre ,
"In reference to the United States I cnn
assure jou that our relations with this
great republic have never been more cor
dial than at picacnt. The fact that your
mlnlHtrr In Buenos Ayres , Mr. Buchanan ,
who very soon will return to your whores
and will no doubt ratify my statement , was
selected as an umpire in an Impoitunt ques
tion pending with Chill , te an eloquent
proof of our sentiments In regard to this
country.
"In his recent annual message to the
chambers General Hoca paid n great compli
ment to the United Stateo government nnd
its worthy representatives and our congress
Just at present has under consideration a
bill appropriating the necewwry funds to pay
the traveling expenses and maintenance of
fifty Argentine young men who will come
to tne united states to follow ino courses 01
eomo of your agricultural and mechanical
collegia.
"General Hoca , whoso character and
ctatcBmniillko ability make him one of the
moHt distinguished public men In our conti
nent , and whom I know with Intimacy , hav
ing been for a time his private tetretar } , U
a great admirer of the United States , and
he followH with the deepest vympathy the
wonderful development of the American
people In all their paths of human activity. "
