A SAD SUICIDE.
Mr. John M. Lytle of Pittsburg ,
Penn. , Takes His
Own Life ,
While Laboring Under a
Temporary Aberration
of Mind.
The Remains Taken Bast for
Interment.
A sad case of suicide occurred yes
terday , the viclim being Mr. J. M.
Lytle , step-father of Mr. Ed. John
son , of the firm of R. C. Steele and
Johnson , of this city. Mr. Lylle
came to this city about three weeks
ago , accompanied by Mrs. Lytle , with
the expectation of purchasing a farm
and permanently locating in the vi
cinity. His former home was near
Pittsburg , Pa. He was a man
of about forty-six years of age , finan
cially in good circumstances , happy in
all his domestic relations and with
apparently no cause for wanting to rid
himself of life. He was in fact heard
repeatedly to express his abhorrence
for one who would take his own life ,
which had been given him by his
MakT , who alone had the right to
take life away.
In April last , however , a change was
noticed in the condition of the dc-
csased. On one occasion he went
with his wife to Pittsburg , and going
oat for a walk did not return for two
days , during which time his family
was in great anxiety for his safety.
On his return ho said in reply to ques
tions as to where he had been he said
he did not know ; he had been wan
dering around the streets , and when
he cune to ho found himself at
a hotel near the depot , in
bed. After this affair it was noticed
by his family that his mind seemed
somewhat impaired , or rather that ho
was "childish. " It was on this ac
count that it was determined to come
out west , it being hopad that the quiet
routine of country life and the pore
air of this western country would
benefit hira.
About two weeks ago Mr. Ed. John
son , his step-son , took him out to
look at a farm and took his pun a
double barrel breach-loading shot gun
along , shooting it off a few times on
the way. On returning homo the gun
was not immediately cleaned and
uhen Mr. Johnson went to clean it a
few days later ho found to his sur
prise that deceased had taken
the gun and gone for
walk. Ho was much fright
ened and followed him
to the new house near Reese's woods ,
but not finding him returned alone.
About 3 o'clock in the afternoon the
deceased returned and raid he had
been sick with the cramps in the
woods.
Last night Mr. Lytla was up as usu
al until the family retired , which was
quite early , and this morning he arose
a little after six o'clock , and
again taking the gun , started
oil' for a walk. He was last seen alive
by Miss A. Sullivan , at 0:20 , and was
soon after mifsed by the family. This
being his third unexpected and mys
terious absence from his family , they
were considerably alarmed , and his
son John M Lytlo , Jr. , was sent to
search for him , following the path he
had taken before. He passed the
house referred to above , en
tered the woods and was re
turning unsuccessful in his search ,
when the object of that search was re
vealed to him , but in a condition that
more than realized his worst fears.
The body was lying due east and west
upon the ground , the arms were
crossed upon the breast , and the gun ,
the fatal instrument , of death , lay
across his breast from the right
side. One barrel was empty ,
the other loaded , and the
hammer standing back ready to fin ? .
A charge of No. 8 shot had been sent
through the lu > ad and had done its
work with terrible and fatal effect.
Upon the discovery of the body the
horrified son hastened to notify the
coroner , and to do so without alarm ,
ing his mother he took a roundabout
way to the city. Coroner Jacobs be
ing absent his duties devolved
upon Sheriff Guy , who sent for the
remains and had them conveyed to
the undertaker's rooms , whore they
arrived about 10 o'clock. Here a
jury was impannulled consisting of
Henry Grebe ( foreman ) , C. S. Good
rich , Joe Teahon , Frank Hanlon ,
Peter Gees and Cajt. Tyler , and at
11 o'clock an inquest was held , the
family of the deceased and those
who had witnessed the finding
of the body alone testifying. While
the former were inclined to think the
fatal occurrence accidental , such was
evidently not the opinion of the jury ,
who , in accordance with the facts
above given , found "that the deceased
came to his death by a shot fired by
his own band , while laboring under a
fit of temporary insanity.
The remains were coffined and will
be taken to-morrow morning east to
Pittsburg , for interment , to which
place they will bo accompanied by
Mr. Johnson. We believe the fam
ily consists of the bereaved wife , a
son nineteen years of ago , John M ,
Lytle , Jr. , and tha step-son , Mr.
Johnson.
The public are notified not to give
credit on my account to my wife ,
Edith Shinrock , as I will not pay any
debts contracted by her.

AUDACIOUS IMPOSTEBS ,
How the U. P. Emissaries are
Getting Signers to that
Bogus Protest.
Thurston's Man Friday.
During the past few days our busi
ness mea and all classes of citizens
have been beset by a swarm of U. P.
emissaries , some of whom wear the
livery of The Omaha Republican , be
seeching signatures to a protest against
registration.
We have already shown how signa
tures to that document were
procured by the bosses at
the U. P , headquarters. A number
of persons from this city and from the
country have called at this office to
day and report that the most shame
less imposture has been practiced in
this county , through the instrumen
tality of Thurston's man Friday , Han
lon. A day or two ago
a Scandinavian ex-postal car
rier , called at Tier's distillery and
induced a number of workingmen of
his nationality to sign by representing
that they would not bo entitled
to vote at the nrimaries unless they
signed that document. He was de
tected in the fraud before ho left the
premises , and : ome of them had their
names taken off.
In the Second ward a number of
Bohemians wera bamboozled into
signing the same paper on assurance
that they were being registered as re
publican voters. Mr. John Bloom , of
Millard , who came in to-day , reports
that the notorious beat Elias Rischel
was industriously circulating the
protest among the German
farmers of that district , and pre
tending to act as registrar.
A farmer in another precinct , who
was circulating that protest , came in
to-day , and when asked who asked
him to carry it around , eaid Mr.
Frank Hanlon.
"Did you know who Mr. Frank
Hanlon is ? "
"Well , I know hira. Don't know
exactly what his business is. "
"Well he is a Union Pacific spy
detective , if you want to draw it mild
Thurston's man Friday. "
The young man felt rather cheap at
having been playing catspaw for the
U.P.
U.P.A
A hrga number of colored people
are said to have signed the paper and
it is safe to say that not one of the
number ever read it. Wo understand
that both in the country and in town ,
the bogus protest is being
signed promiscuously by all
classes , republicans , democrats and
greenbackers , and yet the impudent
impostors will have the cheek , proba <
bly , to present this paper as a volun
tary demonstration against registra
tion to the next convention.

A CAPTIVE'S DUPLICITY.
The Fremont Prisoner Was
Not Alexander Mc
Gregor , of Iowa ,
A Flat Contradiction of One of
the Bender's Lies.
During the late Bender excitement ,
Mr. George W. Kendall , of this oity ,
who formerly resided in McGregor ,
Iowa , and who at the time of the horrible
rible atrocities committed in Kansas
was frequently called to Labette ,
county on business , wrote to Mr. R.
Hubbard , postmaster at McGregor ,
concerning the identity cf these pris
oners with the founders of that town.
It will bo remembered that among
other claims put forth by the singular
couple was one that the old man was
one of the founders of McGregor ,
and that it was named after him. The
reply nails another falsehood of the
many told and adds to the mystery of
their arreat and confessions. Mr.
Hubbard says :
"In the family of McGregor , after
whom this city was named , were three
sons , named respectively , Alexander ,
James. Jr. , and Duncan The first
named was the first resident hero. In
very early times he lived with his fam
ily in Prairie du Chien , Wia. , on the
opposite side of the river , and he own
ed and operated a ferry across the
ferry at that point. He was one
of the first to build and reside on this
side of the river. Alexander died in
this city August 12,1858. His widow
and son Gregor still reside on the old
homestead in this city , and another
sou named Gardner is married and re
sides in this county. Alexander's
brother James came here later and
made this his home for many years.
He also had a pecuniary interest in
this city. He died about 18CS 70.
Duncan , the other brother , has al
ways made New York his home.
I gave some credence to the state
ments of these would-be-Benders
- - un
til they asserted that Iho old man was
the founder of this town , but since
then I have lost confidence in them.
These Benders ouqht to be hung for
telling such unmitigated lies. When
ho states that ho was the founder of
this town , ho commits flat burglary
as was ever perpetrated on the name
of a very worthy and highly respected
family. So great a liar as your pris
oner seems to be , should be strung up
in general principles. Tilden would
pronounce him a "fraud. "
Mr. Xcndell is convinced that
while this part of their story was false ,
the prisoners were really the genuine
Benders , and that the reason they
were not identified was that the ruin
of the butchers of Cherryvale meant *
the ruin of two-thirds of the popula
tion of that vicinity , who were more
or les * bound up with the fate of the
fiends and feared a confession from
them before they could bo executed.

Correspondence of the Bee.
The Bennett camp meeting is lo
cated on a branch of the B. & M. R.
R. , fifteen miles southeast from Lin
coln. Thirty-eight tents are pitcfied
on the ground. They are here from
all parts of our state , also from Iowa.
They seem all to have como just for
one purpose , to serve God , Sinners
have been deeply convinced and con
verted. Numbers. have been saved
through the cleansing blood of the
lamb. The meetings are growing In
interest each time wo moot , and Rev.
J. P. Roe , of Omaha , has just deliv
ered one of the grandest sermons of
the mealing. At times his audience
were bathed in toara , then again they
would bo thrilled with joy as they lis
tened to his burning words , and the
shouts of "Amen , " and "Glory to the
Lamb , " could be heard all over the
ground. Many were led to seek Christ
at this time , and still the fire burns
more and more' . May God increase it
to a mighty fhmo is our prayer.
Thirty ministers and five thousand
people were present.
THE SABBATH DAY.
At 6:30 : a.m. a largo audience of
earnest men and women met in the
large tent and poured out their de
sires to God and ha speedily heard
and answered prayers and filled them
with the baptism of fire. Then again
at 8 a. in. the Holy Ghost was present
in mighty power to bless and many
were saved to the uttermost. To God
alone be all the gbry. At
10:30 : Elder fl. T. Davis preached
an excellent sermon on "Entiro
sauctification , " which God blessed to
many hearts , and many were persuad
ed to give themselves fully to Christ.
It thrilled our heart with joy to hear
the shouts of victory through the
blood. At 1:30 a very interesting
children's meeting was held. It melt
ed the hearts of some of the old hard
ened ones to hoar the children tell of
the love of Jesus to them. At 3 p.
m. Rev. Maither preached on the
"Baptism of the Holy Ghost , " for one
hour , and it was grand beyond
description. Ho held the largo audi
ence in perfect awe , while describing
the day of Pentaeost ; some wept ,
some shouted , while the baptism of
the Holy Ghost seemed to fall on all
the peoplo. It can't be realized only
by an eye-witness. At G p. m. there
were three different
meetings held on
the ground at the same time , and God
was wonderfully present to save.
Rev. "Wilson preached in the even
ing to a very attentive audience. Many
came to the altar and were saved
through the blood of the Crucified
One , and still the wave is rising.
"Lord let It flow. " Amen. L.

ONLY HREE DAYS MORE ,
And Registration of Republi
can Voters Will Close. '
A Duty Which Every Honest
Republican Owes to Him
self and the County.
Only three days more remain for
the registration of republicans under
regulations adopted by the county cen
tral committee. The desperate effort
which the Union Pacific managers and
their organ are making to defeat this
reform is the best proof of Us utility
in the Interest of the people. Every
republican who wants an honest ex-
preasien of our pirty through the del
egates to the state convention and the
candidates who are to represent us in
the next legislature , should have him
self enrolled on the registration list.
Nobody can bo registered unless he
makes a personal application to the
registrars.
For the convenience all classes
of republicans four registration offices
have been opened , viz :
At Ferguson's drug store , corner
Twelfth and Douglas ; Parr's drug
store , Tenth and Howard ; Roodar's
drug store , corner Webster and Six
teenth ; and Titua' dru store , Thir
teenth street.
The hours of registration at all these
places will be from 10 a. m. to 1 p. m , ;
3 p. m. to 5 p. m , and 7 to 0 p. m.
THE DEADLY FLASH ,
Yesterday's Storm and the
Thunderbolt's Aim.
Striking All Around.
About four o'clock Monday after1
noon the rain storm of the day re
commenced with great fury,1 the rain
falling in torrents and a most violent
display of electricity accompanying
It. The lightning was very vivid and
as peal after peal of thunder rolled
overhead with deafening distinctness ,
it became evident that it was getting
in its work.
One thunderbolt struck a brick
chimney on the northern section of the
smelting works , taking off one corne'r
of the stack , running down throuah
the roof , and thence into the ground.
Four men were knocked down by the
shock , one of whom was Mr. Chase ,
one of the foremen. These men wore
all quite severely shocked , and there
was not a man in or around the works
that was not more or less affected.
A few moments later a terrible
shock was felt by all those who wore
in the stores in the vicinity of the A.
& P. telegraph office. This time the
lightning struck the wires on the cor
ner of Fifteenth and Fernham , passed
into the telegraph office , whore it
caused reports "like a 24 pound Par-
rott gun , " and scared the lady oper
ators half to death. The stroke then
reversed its course and went to the
Western Union officeand , from thence
to the Omaha elevators , whore it
melted the heavy tclegrap'.i ' coll.
Parties living near the A. & P. office
say that the thunder seemed to roll
riht up the street past the doors ,
while the electricity filled the rooms
and in one instance paralyzed the arm
of a lady who stood leaning on the
counter.
In the suburbs considerable damage
was done to trees , housed , etc. At
the poor farm one of the men , Mor
ton Rasmussen , was coming out of the
door of an out-house when a bolt
struck him oi ; the cheek. It passed
down his side and into the ground ,
leaving his face and side as black as
ebony. The same bolt struck another
inmate named CofTman and knocked
him down.
At the close of the storm the air
was of a peculiar color , resembling
the effect of an eclipse , and was ob
served by everybody. The following
is from The Lincoln Journal :
There is no disguisint ; the fact that
the corn crop of the state , particular
ly in this latitude and the Republican
valley , has suffered more or IHSS for
the want of rain. Much of it , prtic-
ularly that planted late , was dried up ,
and many of our farmers have been
busily eugaged in cutting it up for
feed. But the rains of last Sunday
and yesterday will put a stop to cut
ting it up.
From parties who arrived from all
parts of the state on yesterday's trains
we learn that the rain has been gener
al throughout the state. North of us a
heavy rain fall occurred Sunday morn
ing and night. At Crete , only twenty
miles from Lincoln , the rain came
down in torrents during Sunday after
noon. Even Milford , twenty miles
west of us , was blessed with a shower
that not only laid the dust , but cov
ered the roads with mud three inches
doep.
doep.From
From what wo can learn , we judge
that almost every section of the state
has had more rain during the past two
days than we have had.
