Nebraska Bank Cashier Arrested.
William J. Zirhut , the absconding
cashier of the Milligan State bank , has
been arrested in the city of Baltimore ,
and will be brought back to Nebraska
to stand trial on the charge of forgery
and embezzlement of sums amounting
to about $20,000. This does not represent -
sent the full amountof thepeculations ,
but it was thought sufficient to secure
his conviction.
The Milligan bank was closed by the
state banking board about January 30 , '
last , and Zirhut , the cashier , was not
to be found , having fled when he saw
the crash coming. Since leaving Milli-
gan he has traveled over pretty much
the same route that Taylor , the South
Dakota treasurer took. It was learned
that he was about to visit Boston under
the name of Frank Corning , and the
chief of police of that city was instructed -
ed to arrest him and hold until the
agent of the state of Nebraska could
arrive with requisition papers. A telegram -
egram was received to the effect that
the arrest had been made.
Among State Teachers. i
Superintendent Marble of Omaha delivered -
livered a second lecture before the I
State institute at Lincoln. He thought
the ability to teach did not depend on
attendance on a normal school , as
there were good teachers who never
saw one. The first thing needed was a
right kind of spirit , brain , wit , in fact ,
a head for business. A person could
not be a good superintendent'unless he
was a good teacher , but the one who
thought he knew more about it than
all the grade teachers about the work
of each individual was a humbug. Dr.
Norton , who also lectured , opened with ;
the statement that all men have ideas ,
either high or low. It is the highest
privilege of the teacher to replace low
ideas with high ones , and to furnish
the pupil with an opportunity to reproduce -
duce high ideals in a more perfect life.
Died by His Own hands.
Claus Obermiller , one of the oldest

and neighbors heard the shot and ran
out , but Obermiller was beyond aid or
speech. He was about 50 years of age.
Re has several grown children and was
worth about $20,001. ! It is generally
supposed that he suddenly grew dis C
pendent over a suit in attachment for s

the court believed him guilty. He
prided himself on his good name and
the sentence would leave a stain upon
it no matter what it might be. Hence
he asked of the court either complete
vindication or the severest penalty.
His appeal brought tear to the eyes
of more than one sp tator. The
court fined him $250. 'Ihe ! case has

WILL ROSEBERY RESIGN ?
A Crisis Threatened liecauso of the
Liberal Dereat.
LONDON , June 24.-It is the general
belief in London that the defeat of the
government on the motion to deduct
$500 from the salary of the secretary -
retary of war because of deficiencies
means the resignation of the ministry ,
the dissolution of parliament and a
new election , with probably a return
of the Conservatives to power.
The cabinet at once held a meeting
and it was believed that the ministers
would decide upon dissolution at the
earliest possible moment. This ,
however , was not done , because -
cause Premier Roseberry was at Ep-
som. Later , when Rosebery returned ] ,
a second meeting was held lasting
until midnight , but again there
was no action. A third meeting
was held at Lord Roseberyy residence -
dence in Downing street , at 11
o'clock this morning. The secretary
of war , Mr. Campbell-Bannerman ,
entered whistling merrily. When a
recess was taken for lunch no decision
'had been reached in regard to resigna-
tion.
tion.The
The ministers met again at 4 o'clock.
Then Lord Rosebery started for Wind-
sor. The decision will not be announced -
nounced until Monday , but there is a
strong impression that the premier
will present the resignation of the
eabinet to the queen

EIGHTH NATIONAL CONVENTION -
TION IN CLEVELAND. .
What Was Done on the First Day-
President Tracy Delivers the Annual
Address and Speak. of the International -
tional Agreement on the Silver nncs-
tion-The Protective Syets and
Blaine' . Policy.
Republicans in Conference.
CLZVELAND , Ohio , June 20.-The
eighth national convention of the
League of Republican clubs convened
in Music hall with 2,000 delegates in
the auditorium and the galleries filled
with visitors.
After prayer by the Rev. S. L. Darse ,
Secretary Humphrey read the call , and.
addresses of welcome were made by
Mayor McKisson and Prof. Woodman-
see of the Ohio League of Republicgn
clubs. President W. W. Tracy of Chicago -
cage then delivered the annual ad-
dress.
Of the silver issue , Mr. Tracy said :
"It is in keeping with'the record of the
past that the Democratic leaders
should strive to take advantage of a
sentiment created largely through
their own blundering and then go
shouting from the housetops their devotion -
votion to silver , in the hope that they
may through this agitation be saved
from oblivion The facts are the Democratic -
ocratic party never did anything for
silver in any of the years it was in
power.
"The people of this country want
more money but only on one condition ,
and that is that it be sound and current -
rent the world over. There is no
question as to which party is to be entrusted -
trusted with the solving of this prob-
lem. The record of the Republican
party proves that it has always been
in favor of increasing the currency in
keeping with the demands of the country -
try , but only on the basis that the
purchasing and debt-paying power of
a dollar , whether of silver or gold ,
shall at all times be kept equal.
"The people will be satisfied to leave
the solving of the currency question in
the hands of the Republican party.
They know that in thefuture as in the
past the interests of silver in all its
relations to the people can safely be
entrusted to the protecting care of
that party. This entire question as to
the future use of silver will probably
be settled by the great commercial nations -
tions of the world within a year. Germany -
many and France are seeking bimetallism -
ism and England is fast turning in that
direction. What the people should do
is to bring pressure to bear upon their
representatives for the appointment of
delegates to an international conference -
ence with power to act , aid insist
upon an agreement and obligation
from the nations participating to
maintain the ratio as there adopted. "
Mr. Tracey closed with an eulogy of
the protective system and the American -
can policy of the late James G. Blaine.
In his address of welcome President
D. D. Woodmansce of the Ohio league
expressed regret that Governor McKinley -
Kinley was prevented by his Kansas
engagement from welcoming the delegates -
gates to Ohio. The reference to Ilic-
Kinley caused a loud and continuous
demonstration. He desired to say ,
however. that Governor McKinley
would -rash the city by Friday evening -
ing and at the Ilollenden would be
glad to greet all and say farewell to
one and all.
The secretary announced that there
were represented at the convention
forty-six states and territories , the
largest number ever represented.
Among the delegates were a number
of ladies , four from Colorado , one from
New Yoric , two from Washington and
three from Illinois. The latter represented -
sented the Woman's league clubs in
that state. Those from Colorado lost
no opportunity to do mission work in
favor of the free coinage of silver.
II. Clay Evans of Tennessee moved
to refer all resolutions to the committee -
tee on resolutions without debate. An
amendment to refer without reading
was defeated , as the silver men pro-
tested. Mr. Evans' motion prevailed.
The secretary announeed that the
state delegations should report their
members of the committee on resolutions -
tions , committee on league work , committee -
mittee on rules and committee on order
of business , time and place , and these
committees would meet at 4 o'clock. A
meeting of the presidents of state
leagues was announced for 9 o'clock
to-morrow and at 1 o'clock the convention -
tion adjourned till 10 o'clock tomorrow -
row , to give the committees time to
tvnrk.
