A man traveling on horseback drove into Sutherland Wednesday and after making inquires from dif ferent persons as to the best road leading to North Platte, continued on his way. It was noticed by Henry Coker that the mysterious fellow had but one horse when he entered the town but was leading an extra horse when he departed. Mr. Coker suspicioned something wrong and a hasty investigation revealed the fact that one of his animals had disappeared. Sheriff Miller was wired to be on the look out tor the fellow and a reward of 525 offered for his capture. Mr, Coker went in pursuit of the fleeing thief and pressed him hard. A few miles out of Sutherland the fellow changed horses and allowed his own animal to graze along the road. When Sheriff Miller received word from Mr. Coker he immediately sent out men to the different bridges to look for the thief. While on his way out "Jack" Davis met the man coming across the tracks west of the stock yards and repre hended him. The thief is about 21 years of age and it is believed that he is a deserter of the army. When arrested he was togged out in Uncle Sam's clothing from headgear even to spurs. Deputy Sheriff Keliher wired to Indian Agency headquar ters at Crawford and to Ft. Russel at Cheyenne, and if the prisoner is a deserter the government will take him off the county's hands. The Luther League was inter faced last evening by Miss Bertha Theolecke at her home south of the city. The leaguers, to the number of twenty fjve, were conveyed to their meeting place in. a carry-all and passed a very agreeable evening. Refreshments were provided by the hostess. Judge Hinnian contributed a very interesting and truthful com munication to the Tuesday issue of the Daily Telegraph on the subject of the gambling which is being car ried on in the city. The Judge charges the sheriff, the deputy sheriff and the marshal with being derelict in their duty in not prohib iting this gambling. In this the Judge but voices the sentiment of all the better class of citizens. The Judge also calls attention to the fact that the renting ot a room for gambling purposes is punishable by a fine or imprisonment in the county jail, and stronglj intimates! tnat a late candidate lor supreme judge might be held liable under J tliis statute. SURPRISED THEIR PASTOR. " Wednesday being the occasion of Rev. C. C. Snavely's 37th birth anniversary, he was given a very agreeable surprise by a uumber of the members of theEpworthLeague The League went in a body from prayer meeting to the parsonage, and after permitting Rev. Snavely to wonder for a time as to why his home had thus been invaded, B. L. Robinson, on behalf of the Epworth League, presented Mr. Snavely with a handsome stand lamp and said that he hoped it would be of assistance to him in lightiug his path in future years. It was a complete surprise and for a few moments the recipient was overcome. But he rallied and in a feeling manner expressed his thanks and appreciation for the gift and for the spirit that prompted it. Then the League, feeling that they had helped to bring "light at least" into one home, after congrat ulations and hearty wishes tor many happy returns of the day, wen ded their way homeward. Those present were the Messrs. and Mesdames. B. L. Robinson, O. D. Franklin, A. McMichael; Mes dames Uarry Langdon, C. L. Wil liams, York Hinnian, W. T.Brown; Misses Calla McDonald, Anna Renny, Eunice Babbitt, Francis McNamara, ..May McGrew, Grace Langdon, Lillie Kay, Nellie and Lizzie Brown, Jessie Banks, Jennie McMichael, Clara Langford; F. L.

John Lemasters came home Wednesday morning from a pleas ure trip to the fountains of Colo rado and has in store an infinite amount pf ready information on the resources of that state that can be had for the asking by persons who haye in cqnfeniplatiQn a trip tp Colorado. John spent a few days feasting his eyes on the sights of Denver, but the thousands of eager spectators was too much for a tenderfoot so Jie jarred loose frotn the crowd and went to Grand Junc tion. He had tlje pleasure of re newing the acquaintance of a num ber of former residents of this city at the latter place and was shown through many of the fruit orch. ards of which that country abounds, He says "it is nothing unusual there to gather thirteen bushel of peaches from a single tree, and to satisfy my curiosity one branch of a pear tree, that measured three feet, was found to; contain twenty- seven pears the size of your fist, I never crave credit to one-half the stories told about Grand Junction, but a man couldn't lie about that country unless he said that fruit could not be grown there.

From thePrairie Home, a middle-of-the-road populist paper publish ed at Hartwell, Neb., we take the following speech delivered at the late populist state, convention by Will T. McGuire of Furnas county, who is a strong, straight-out popu list. Many populists in Lincoln county share Mr. McGuire's views in regard to fusion.- Lucien Steb bins is a regular contributor to the Tmlrrn.r,. ns - y jUhfcr middle- of-the-road populists of the state, Mr. McGuire spoke as follows: Sir. Chairman and Gentlemen of the Convention. There was a call came out to my county, stating that the Populists were going to have a state convention, for the purpose of nominating a state ticket, and as a Populist I was sent hero, to find affairs so badly mixed that I must in the words of another, Mr. Chair man: ask "in the name of GOD where are we at," are we, the delegates who are fresh from the people, omg to act out our people's will, or allow ourselves to be swayed by the Eloquence of that Im ported uongress ot a usion talent, or (fusionists raised a po'nt of order, that the speaker was not talking on the ques tion before the house. Sen . Allen ruled them out of order the speaker mav continue.) Gentlemen of the Conven tion! overheard a conversation be tween two ladies at the mass meeting this afternoon that impressed mo deeply. Une asked the other it she was going to attend the convention. She said, '"Oh, no. "Hut, said the hrst, they, are go ing to have a big time and a solemn time there, and I must seo it. ' "What are thoy going to do?" "Why they intend to rechristen the populist child afid don't you know the leaders propose to call in the democrats and republicans to btand as its sponsors." Gentlemen, is that what you intend to do? Is that the ob ject of your presence f;oro? Is it possi ble that the once grand populist party is retrograding to swaoalmg clothes and the weakness of childhood again? (A voice "no. Gontlemen, you have voted three cheers here for General Weaver as the father of the populfttr party. Then I will say to the "father" do not allow the democrats and republicans to jostle the youngster about too much, or it might look up into your face and with childlike simplicity ask Since I am . so quickly done for Papa what the doil was I ever begun for. (Laughter and prolonged applause on the noor and in the galleries.) My friends this is too serious a time for mirth and laughter: this is a critical moment in our party's history, and our action here to-night will determine the future "weal or woe" of the populist party in the state, it not m the union (Voices, "that's right'.") Are wo then conscious of otr duty here? Are "-we mindful ot the oonsennences that might follow- Are wo lr'nuwiugS-of the fact that thousands of the populists are op posed to fusion My people at home in old populist Rockton do not approve it. Then in candor 1 ask vou, do 3'ou con sider it a mark of good statesmanship when you propose to "fuse away our party s birthright for no bettor consid era tion in return than to get to help a few democrats and republicans into of tico (laughter), out in doing this you will lose thousands of the "boys" who have marched shoulder to shoulder with you in every campaign and have shared with you the blunt ot many a ontest . They stand ready to work with you n w along popunst lines and in Keeping our cardinal principles in thoir purity; thus they will again toil with you on to vic tory or will condole with you in def-at; but sirs, I warn you, that they will stand hrm and refuse to follow your LEADER SHIP into the wilderness of fusion and party infidelity, for that course wo be lieve to ba wrong, impolitic, unwise and eventually disastrous. (The fusionists igh, tne middle-cf-tho-road populists cheer. Gentlemen of the convention are wo the delegates of tho PEOPLE'S PARTY going to heed that FUSION LOBBY that are everywhere active on this noor and that throng those galler ies." Are we going to ilUiMlljlATJiJ OURSELVES to-night by accepting their invitation, and become the pall bearers to our own party's funeral? Why sir, when our party was young in years and few in number, it had tho courago to stand alone and thereby gained honor fame and power. Are wo going to Dow at tho yiiuii'.fc; Ul" FU SION and lose our dignity now? (voices yes, yes.) liy the will and ordinance of GOD, the help of populist men and the prayers of women, NO. Tho populist party was born of necessity, born to livo and not by fusion hands to DIE. Hu manity has a great work for it to do that is high in purposo and noble in end. (Cries of you are right). Then permit not the manacles of fusion to impede its progress, let it go onward and upward and lift those clouds of financial and in dustrial thraldom that are sotting down over this country like the shadows of a mighty storm, brought on by the two old parties that want to FUSE with us to-night. Some gontlemen, who have addressed this convention, seemed to swell their breasts with pride when thev told us that they wero populisfs. As a. populist l asK them hpw they propose to har monize their utterances when they tell us now that they will warmly welcome pto pur midst the same CAUSES that thpy once said produced cur country's POWDER Absolutely Pure.

Ob, what a grand theory! Put out a fire by adding to it a little more fuell Expect a reform party to reform by calling in the old parties to- help it that first made reform necessary. I am amazed at their matchless wisdom but I hope the day of its consummation will never come. (Applause.) The congressman from Kansas (Jerry Simpson) entertained us to-night in re lating the Czar-like rulings of Speaker Reed, but from what state will the man hail who will tell of the COERCION that has been practiced here when a gentleman came in here and in stentor ian voico told us "that we must co-operate and the men who would oppose it in this convention WOE BE UNTO HIM. Mr. Chairman is it pctteibtothat utter auce came from tho man whose namb is a household word, whose portrait hangs upon the walls ot more than two mil lion homes and is looked upon by those people who think that he is their friend. Why, sir, has not his action on that ros trum made it plain that instead of be ing a patient counseling friend ho is A DOMINEERING DICTATOR. Why, Mr. Chairman, has it come to that so soon that a populist dare not speak in his own convention or make known the wish of his people here, if their views do not coincide with the WILL of Mr. Bryan. There is one man who will say to that distinguished gentleman that the good of tho populist party DOES NOT KfcjqUlKJi HIS PRESENCE, HERE OR ELSEWHERE, for right, reason and common sense is the popnhst motto and guide, and we have no more use for dictator in our ranks than did our noble sires have for Benedict Arnold in the Continental Army. (Loud applause mingled with hisses.) The gentlemau from Montana told us this afternoon "that what Nebraska was most in need of was free coinage of back bone. The gentleman was right. We have in this convention the crude mr. torial, plenty of it, but the question is as to its stiffnesa and grit. My populist friends, if we are not more characters upon the political chess-board to be moved at the pleasure of tho players, let us assert our manhood, have the cour age of our convictions and show to thoso fusionists ot even' color and brand that ve have a party honor that is strict and rigid. U 'l us show them in no uncer tain tones that thy cauuot purloin one or two planks from our platform with the hone of fooling our party to destruc tion. Let us show them further that v can mauago our own political affairs in the future, as wo have done in the past, without them. Thus far the populist ship has !mado a good record for speed and progress. Its bill of health is clea. As it moves in sight ladies cheer it, populist mothers and daughters throw to it the kisses of your hearts' anection. The question is before us The line is drawn. What will we do? Retristerour votes in tho support and continuance of populist principles, the only hope and covenant of tho common people or will wo play the baby act and vote for fu sion, the Nichloo Biddle of our day the defaulter, the disrupter of parties and the corrupter of men. Gentlemen I await-your action. , . . Groat uproar followed the conclusion of the speech. THINGS TO REMEMBER. NEW AND STYLISH CLOTHING. NEW GOODS. LATEST STYLES. LOWEST PRICES.
