BENNETT'S BREAK.
An .Aged land Seeker Ends
Something in Omaha that
He did not Seek ,
And Becomes an Easy Prey
to Designing Villians ,
Deceived , Drugged , Bobbed
and Wedded.
A peculiar freak of the class known
as confidence operators was developed
in this city in the pict twenty-four
hours. The wily thief is usually sat
isfied with getting away with the pos
sessions of his victim , but in this in
stance a new departure was made , the
effect of which can not be at present
easily foreseen.
{ Wednesday morning Mr. William
Bennett , an honest-looking citizen cf
Saginaw , Mich.cimein over the Rock
Island read with a friend who resides
at Central City , this state. Mr. Ben
nett came to look up land
suitable for farming purposes , to buy
if suited and to ba followed , if hs
trip was satisfactory , by a Urge num
ber of Bettleis. He had a letter from
the sgent of the U. P. land depart
ment at Chicago to Mr. Leavitt Burn-
am , stating the above facts and recom
mending him to the courtesies of the
department officials.
At this point Mr. Bennett's limited
ticket ran out and he went up to the
headquarters to get it renewed and
make arrangements for stopping over
between this point and Kearney ,
which was his destination. Ho ob
tained the necessary orders and waste
to hava left with his friend at noon
but misled the train by a moment ,
only. Ho was much disappointed and
going to one of the railway offisia's '
alluded to the fact that he was 'left ,
alone here , and tupping his lag in-
tinnted that he had $500 conceded iu
bis boot. He was warned not to cocao
up town as it was dangerous , but
notwithstanding this slipped off. and
on Ins return , eaid he had deposited
$3,000 in one of the banks , but still
had some left. He again came up
town and did not return to take the
evening ; train nor yet yesterday's , BO
that the officials were getting very
anxious for his safety.
Now for bis crp.-r.onco after leaving
the depot and up to yesterday. He
BJJS that he fell in with another land
man ( ? ) and that the two slatted up
town together. The latter remarked
that ho must be tired from ha : long
ride and offered to stand treat. They
wont into a saloon on Tenth street and
Mr. Bennett called for wine. His
friend insisted that his wearied condi
tion demanded something stronger ; BO
in compliacca with his solicitations he
took brandy.
What happened after that the be
guiled man did not know until hofound
himself in a hack being rapidly driven
he knew not whither. At leng'h
the hack utopped and he was assisted
to alight. He was taken into a house ,
and there he believes ho went through
some sort of ceremony , the nature of
of which is best revealed by the fol
lowing certificate :
"OMAHA , June 30 , 1880. Tfiis is
to certify that Wm. Bennett and Lena
Wilkins -ware thi day united in matri
mony by William Crawford , "Squire. "
This certificate was found subse
quently in Mr. B.'s possession.
Again the veil of oblivion clouds the
mind of the victim for a period , but
shortly after midnight last ui Ll Offi
cer Dahlstrom found the land prospec
tor lying on the sidewalk , near Ham
ilton's bankand took him to the lock
up. On being arraigned before Judge
Hawea yesterday , ho was commit
ted for three days for intoxication. Ho
afterwards told his story to a BEE re
porter , and subsequently to an officer ,
and believing that he might identify
the saloon where the drink was taken ,
or the scene of his nuptial ceremonies ,
ho was sent out with a policeman on a
still hunt. They are probably still
hunting.
Among the papers taken from him
at the jatl were , a cancelled note to
parties in St. Louis , Mich.the letter
and certificate above described , sn
empty whisky bottle , several maps ,
etc. His ticket was missing , but is
safe in the possession of Mr. B. Hansen -
sen of the land department , who will
try to assict the unlucky man all he
can. He thinks ho has deposited a
large amount of money at one of tbe
banks , or if- not that he his been
robbed of a considerable sum.
Mr. Bennett stated yesterday
that his loss did not exceed § 75 , but
his talk was all that of cne in a dream
and not coherert. He was no doubt
still under the influence of the dtug
given him. He does not know whetb-
er bis marriage is 1 gitiraate or not ,
but ho may hope f r the best , as no
such J. P. as Criwf rd is known here
No eflort will be * pared to right his
wrongs ao far as possible.

THE OOLONG MEN ,
Rise and Progress of the
Student Life at Creighton
University.
Gratifying Exhibit of the Last
Tear's Work.
The second annual commencement
exercises of Oreighton university were
held Wednesday. The large auditor
ium was crowded with prominent la
dies and gentlemen , the friends of ed
ucation and the patrons of the institu
tion.
tion.The
The hall was beautifully decorated
for the occasion. Back of and over
the stage , surrounded by flowers and
evergreens , were life-size paintings of
the founders of the university , the
late Mr. and MM. Edward Oreighton.
Between these , embedded in aback of
flowers and wreath * of evergreens , in
tertwined with national colors , was a
portrait of Charles Creighton , their
only son , who with them slumbers on
the hillside at Holy Sepulchre cemetery
tory gone , but not forgotten. Yeses
of flowers on brackets , fl inked by nu
merous flags , failed the remainder cf
the recess , the whole forming a fit
ting bask-ground to the mental flow
ers that bloomed upon the stage ani
shed their intellectual fragrance on the
audience.
There wore fathers and mothers
present , brothers and sisters , and pin-
aforio relatives , whose faces were a
succession of smiles , as their nearest
kin bravely marched upon the stage ,
displayed his mental calibre , and re
tired amid the unstinted plaudits of
the audience. The universal boquet ,
with its common scents , was there , to
soothe the upper story of the favored
boy and fill with you hfal envy the
less fortunate one. It was an evening
of happiness for all , particularly so for
the faculty , whose untiring labors
wera crowned with brilliant success.
Master Frank Oheatwood delivered
the introductory address , which was
appropriate to the Decision. In it he
welcomed the audience to tha com
mencement exercises , and reviewed
the results of the year's study.
A quartette of boy * , consisting of
aHo's John MnCreary , A. Buckley ,
Chas. Sullivan and Frank Mcd'eary ,
then sang "Day again is gently break
ing , " with harmonious effect.
A dialogue "Specimens for the
Fair , " by Masters Fred. McClure ,
Arthur Creighton , Philip Will-ams ,
Peter Casey , James Millet and Rcbert
McDonagh , came next. The idea of
the dialogue was that several boys had
written articles for competition at the
State fair , and they wore submitted
to their friends for an expression of
opinion as to their merit. "Boys , "
"The American Boy in Particular , "
"Boy's Trouble * , " "Omaha , Pait and
Present , " "Honesty the Best Policy , "
were among the subjects treated , and
many amusing criticiema to all of these
works were advanced.
Master Robbie McDonagh , a chip
of the old block , delivered a parody on
"Excelsior , " concerning the Holly
water-pipes.
Mr. Caldwell Hamilton discoursed
upon the subject of education , which
he handled in a creditable manner ,
pointing out in glowing language the
advantages of a good education , and
the necessity of its possession by ev
ery man , -whatever his station in life.
He said it was a mistaken idea that
our greatest men were without an ed
ucation. Some might bavo risen to
eminence without it , but they them
selves felt the need of it , and warned
others against neglecting the culture
of their minds. At the close of the
delivery he was made the recipient of
several handsome bouquets.
A dialogue by Masters William
Shields , Harry Burkley , Joseph Mc-
Killip , Pnilip Mergen , John Mc-
Creary and Cornelius Sullivan , upon
"Advanced Ideas , " followed. The
substance of the discussion wr.s origi
nal with the boys , and consisted in
expressions of opinion as to what , the
modern college phculd teach , one
speaking in favor of muscular train
ing , another for a business education
a third for the extirpation of th
classics , a fourth for a musical courze
etc. The arguments were all we !
presented and highly entertaining.
Mr. Constantine Smyth closed th
exercises with a careful analysis of th
future of Nebraska. His cloein
words were : "Ours is the next staten
on which the star of empire mus
shine as it moves on in its westwar <
course. * * * While the gee
forward to take the place destined b ,
nUure for her , let her ever be read ,
to extend a protecting band over reli
g ous and Christian education , withoul
which no state can be rich er power'

At the clcse of the literary exer
cisea , Bishop O'Conner presented th
meials awarded to the scholars , as
follows :
The medal for excellence in th
class of second humanities was
awarded to Master Cornelius Sullivan
in the cliss of third humanities to

THE CENSUS ,
Omaha Holds Her Own With
Other Western Cities.
The statistics of the United States
camus , given yesterday , place Omaha
in the front rank of the cities of he
Missouri valley. Only Kan BOS City
and St. Joseph have larger popula
tion , and Omaha presses very closely
on the heels of St. Joseph.
The result shows that estimates
made by competent judges , of the
probable showing Omaha would make
alongside of other western cities , have
been verified in a remarkable man
ner. It also serves as a rebuke to
those who took occasion to accuse the
enumerators of negligence in perform
ing their duties , as their work tpeaks
for itself. These official have spared
neither time nor pains to serve their
city and deserve one and all , the un
qualified thanks of the public gener
ally.
OVER THE KIVJSR.
Oouncl Bluffs has strained every
nerve to raise her census to the high
est p ssible figures , and it is rumored
hia imitated Cheyenne in talcing down
all the emigrants passing through and
enumerating the silent inhabitans o
th e cemeteries. The Nonpareil of yes tor f
day says : " See that the census enu
merators do not nrss you. See to it
that each and every citizen aids the
census boom. The more names the
better for the city. " From which we
judge they are still at work.
THE CONUNDRUM EXPLAINED.
Mayor Chase having written The
Chicago Tribune for its authority for
the statement that "while the stcta cf
Nebraska would increase in population
over 300 per cent the past four years ,
the city had but 1600 more residents
thin at the last census , " the following
reply was received by him to day :

Time and place are great things.
Tbu was never mora self evident than
in tha gathering assembled at the
corner of Farnham and Fourteenth
street last evening , on the occasion of
the ratification of the Cincinnati con
vention. On tha ere of a great pre
sidential campaign , with the leadeio
of both parties in the field and
the parties themselvei girding
on their armor prepara
tory to engaging in a gigantic contest
for poetical supremacy , it would be
strange if the firat gun would not send
tha blood puhating through the veins
of
FBIKND AMD FOE
alike. In the heart of a great , popu
lous and prosperous city , on a mid
summer evening and at a spot forever
I memorable and sacred to every citizen ,
it would be remarkable if a common
impulse would not bring to that spot
every one in whom a spark of patriot
ism burnqd , whom the sound of mar
tial music , the firing of guns and the
sight ot innumerable messenger * of
Bra clearing the sky , combined to
crouaa tin ardor of the susceptible
hearts of the American citizen.
Tnese things then drew to the spot
named , a concourse number
ing perhaps 3000 people , of
whom ono-half , if not more , were re
publicans dyed in the wool. On the
southeast comer of the old Grand
Central hotel site a stand had been
erected for the use of the demoorati
during the coming campaign. Ele
vated high above the crowd , it was
fringed with flags , with a background
of the national colors , the same glow
ing rod , white and blue entwining the
vails and floating from a staff
ereoted on one corner. Upon this
stand were toiled the mrst prominent
democrats of this city and county with
visitors from abroad , all
BOUEBON GIANTS
ready to engage in the strife. Several
national aira having ben. played by
the Union Pacificband , whose services
wore called into requisition for
the occasion , several rounds
having bean fired with
a brace of anvils , located on Fifteenth
street , and innumerable sky rocketa
aud Roman candles having shed a
dazzling though momentary splendor
over the scene , Hon. Charles Brown ,
chairman of the democratic county
central coramiltea , advanced to the
front of the platform and an
nounced that an organization
would be necessary before
proceeding with the regular program - a
gram mo for the evening. He there
upon nominated Judge Wakeley as
chairman of the meeting , and that
gentleman was loudly confirmed by
tha crowd. Hon. W. H. Ijams was
chosen secretary in a similar manner ,
after which a list of 250 prominent
democrats of the city and
county were elected vice-presidents
and invited to seats on the ground
atand. Judge Wakeley was then in
troduced , and after several ineffectual
attempts to address the crowd gave
way to the reception of a large dela-
gation from the First ward , which ,
headed by a band of mntio and with
BiHNEBS FLTINO ,
marched in front of the stand occupied
by the officers and speakers. "I see ,
my friends" said the Judge "that our
recruit * are arriving rapidly , " where
at there were enthusiastic cheers.
Bonfires were simultaneuuily lighted
at the corners of Farnham and Fif
teenth and Farnbam and Sixteenth by _
the glowof which , the judge addressed
himself once more to the eea of up _
turned faces. * >
With an allusion to the unusual
size of his audience , which he took for
granted was composed of men of simi
lar faith with his own , he proceeded
to discuss the nominees of the nation
al convention which had just adjourn
ed , chcsan from a long list of honora
ble names , and who "were destined
by the voice of the American
people to be elected to the high
offices for which they are nominated. "
Special mention was due to Tilden ,
'
who embodied a grievance and was the
victim of the most gigantic political
crime of the century. The name of
Hancock was greeted * with cheers ,
which were repeated when
HIS VTAB BICOBD
and coarao during the late unpleas
antness were dilated upon. For the
first t'me the familiar names of
Gettysburg , Appomattox and other
historic battle fields were used to ex
cite Bourbon enthusiasm , and it was
evidently hard food to Digest , espec
ially when washed down with "civil
rights , " "freedom of spsech"protec-
u'on of person and property to all
men , " and similar time-honored
phrases in the republican vocab
ulary. The tongue of the
orator could but imperfectly
pronounce the "shibboleth" of the re
publican party , but the praiseworthy
effort brought down the republican
side of the house every time.
At the clcse of the chairman's ad-
Iresr , a committee on resolutions WAS
appointed to report later in the everi- -
ag. Calls ware heard for"MUIer , " i
pre
'Irish" and others , and one'entbuai- orl

next spoke , and drew a pleasant com
parison between the increase shown
by the cenius returns aid that which
would be shown by a cen
sus of democrats now as
aM
compared with that of
a fawyears ago.
The nominees were the choice of the
people and noi of maohino politicians
and they would lead the pirty "not
only to victory but the fruits of tic-
iory. " ( Intense and long continued
applause. ) He extolled the Spartan
devotion < 3 of the 306 'Grant delegatas at
Chicago and called attention to th.it
hero for the purpose of repeating his
endorsement of the democratic stan
dard bearer. Mr. FoppLion con
tinued at length , speaking with great
force and earnestness and receiving
unstinted applause. Mr. Popp'oton
was followed in turn by Hon. John
P. Irish , Hon. J. Sterling ,
Morton and Dr. Miller , the former
speaking at great length and making a
masterly argument for the support of
his party by
THX 8UJT&AQB3 OF THE PEOPLE.
It was noticeable that where the
aprakers were least * firm , namely ,
where encroaching on republican
grounds , the enthusiasm was
greite&t from which the political com
plexion of the audience may be easily
Inferred.
At the termination of Dr. Miller's
speech there were loud cries for
"Ijams , " but that gentleman declined
to respond , and the band having dis
coursed another tune , "Yaukee
Doodle , " the crowd sljwly broke up ,
and its component members wended
their way homeward , pondering in
their hearts on the changes time had
wrought in the tune of the uaterri-
fied.
