LINCOLN , Nob. , Juno 28 , Much quiet
npeculation has been indulged In by the think
ing and talking politicians ot the second con
gressional district as to tbo non-roturn of
" .Royal Jim" tholr bloated congressman
otherwise known as "Tho marquis of Stink
ing Wator. " Your correspondent can throw
A llttlo light on tbo matter. In Washington
the marquis delight ! to bo referred [ to ns
the "cowboy congressman" and in order to
fully establish his clMm to that distinction ,
lib , list winter sullied forth ono day ior a
cantor along Pennsylvania nvcnuo and the
boulevards , fully equlppad In white sombrero ,
leather pants and mammoth , clanking rpurs ,
and Bitting perched upon the huriiuano.deck
of a very high and consequently very clumsy
livery hsrao. After a few rods can
ter a la round-up , ho struck
both heel * Into the horse's aides and the
f relghtonod Bleed took up n run , Whlkey was
never much of a horec-back rider ; neither wni
Jim ; together tLey made a devol of n mess of
it , Jim fell oft , broke hli leg , and the horse
ran over a child in hia freight enod efforts to
escape capture and finally landed at the
stable a good winner by a ivholo neck , Those
of his friondi who know of his miehnp had no
trouble In fixing up a ronmntio Btory 'of how
he sacrificed himself to eave a child , etc. , but
it leaked out finally , and now tbo true history
of that occurrence U yours. But to the
sequel : Previous to the fall of the cowboy
hero , it wae the pride and joy of the gang
who dp his thumping nnd ballot-bo * etulllng
that his "Royal Nibs" was a pnfect man ;
not a decrepid old mendicant , but
"a sturdy Scot who could hold a bull , "
But after his fall things were
different. The marqula eat upright on the
( leek pavement where ho so recently lay , and
proceeded to examine tbo crack In his under
pinning. In the fractured bone ha diicovorod
what first seemed to bo a. worm-hole , but on : v
closer examination of It alddd by a eoino-
what befogged memory it came out clearly
as a Rabre cut , punch or stab. lie remem
bered then that a naughty rebel once acceler
ated hla flight at Bull Hun by a prod of his
sabro and hero were the results ! At once
upon his recovery the major ( drum-major ) sat
out for the pension cilice and by a clever
manipulation of the cards , after the style of
the shuffle given them at the MeCook land
office when ho made these famous entries ou
the ( Stinking Water , ho managed to secure
for damages done his weather beaten frame
an annual stipend of no mean figure and the
sum of $3.000 arrearages !
Upon these golden ducata ho la at present
depending for his daily julips and hash , In
the "sweet bye nnd bye , " when these "yellow
boys" ehall have vanished and the elates of
the Washington bar-keepers shall have been
-filled to completion , then , and not till then ,
will thn "colloaiiu of roads" wind hid weary
way toward the petting tun , halting not until
ha shall be nafoly domiciled upon the banks
of the clasiic.Stmking Waterwhere , surround
ed by farmer Kelly nnd old farmer Yeaslo and
the pioneora of the Stinking Water colony , bo
will sit him down to ropo'c , and between sips
relate into their capacioiu ears tbo story of
his Washington romance and of the bloody
\ battle of Bull's Run ,
"IT'S A SNAP ; DON'T oivfi IT AWAY. "
Ordinarily when misfortune overtakes a
man his friends and neighbors offer their condolence -
dolenco and sympathize with the afflicted ,
When good fortune vieita ono of us the result
is only different in the form of greeting. In
stead of coming up with tearful oyea and
blanched cheeks prepared to shed team if the
occasion required , our friends , when good
luck visits a neighbor , came up smiling and
heartily shako ua by the hand. The latest
recipient of congratulations hereabouts is Air.
"William 0'She , the Irish book-binder. The
tears , etc. , go nut lotvarti the State Journal
if any eked , for what has been Mr. O'Shea's
gain has been the Journal's loss. Mr , O'Shea
visited the capital building , a few weeks ago ,
at the tlmo the contracts for state
printing were awarded , and with uo idea of
bidding upon the work spent a pleasant half
hour in looking around the buildings.
Among others the ponderous Ilathaway of
the Journal gang appeared with bis pocket-
ial of bids , straw and otherwise , and seeing
the well-dressed and busy O'Shoa there at
once surmised that there was another.Rich . -
. .rnond in the field , and remembering his former -
mor Bucceta in 1879 , when ho gave Webb
Jjaton $1,000 to withdraw a bid and leave
the field , ho at once proceeded to get Mr.
O'Shea to withdraw , A portly German sa
loonkeeper approached Mr. O'Shea and naked
if Mr. O. expected to bid , to which Mr. O.
answered evasively and yet half affirmatively ,
farther conversation brought nn offer of S100
if Mr. O. would leave the field. Mr. O'Shea ,
vrho had no idea of bidding saw through
the game aud at once determined upon de
manding a respectable quarter's salary for hla
lialf-bour'a loiter. He refused to listen to any
-such terms and tried to escape further negoti
ations. Thocchomo worked well , and after n
hasty conference with his piincipal the fussy
German increased the offer to $110. to $100 ,
and finally 1o $250 , aud tha time of action
drawing dangerously near , Mr. O. accepted a
check tlgO'ld ' by it third party present , and
walked dcwn to the bank und got the each.
As ho told the reporter of hi a good luk , ho
closed ojio eye and caul , with a broad grin ,

OATJGHT A NEW CLUE ,
Clarallionms , the Blaolc AVoinan who
WRB ConvictedliRBfWcolc , Gives
the "Whole Thing A way.
The notorious Dolln Green , who keeps
a low dlvo ever James McVoy'a black-
nmith shop No. 111G Douglas street , was
taken into custody yesterday afternoon
by order of Marshal Cummings and
given quartern with three other female
prisoners at the city jail. This morning
the marshal will prefer against her a
charge of grand larceny. It is an old
case revived. Readers of the BEE will
remember that on Thursday night , April
30 , Delia Green , Clara Thomas and
Minnie Howard were arrested and "run
in" for robbing Conrad Fasaell of $500
By aomo eort of very smooth
work and clover maneuvering ,
Delia managad to got herself
and Minnie Horrnrd out of the scrape
at that time , but Clara Thomas was hold
and bound ever to the district. Last
Monday oho had her trial in that tri
bunal and was convicted of grand Lar-
It appears that from the first there has
been a deep laid scheme in this affair by
which Clara Thomas was made the vic
tim , at least that Is the way cho thinks
and talks about it now. From the time
that she was sent up by Judge Stenberg ,
until tried and found guilty before Judge
Neville , Clara waa lead by certain
parties to bclievo tbat there
would be no trouble about clearing her.
Aster hearing the jurys verdict of guilty
however , eho know that the next thing
would bo n sentence to the ponotontiary ,
and decided to tell jailor Joe Miller a
little story which ho listened to and
which resulted in the arrest of Delia
Green yesterday. She related to Mr.
Miller how , on the night of April 30 ,
thla man , Conrad Fassoll , came to their
dingy old don on Douglass street , about
as fall of liquor as ho could bo and walk
and * * how ho noon lot them
know that his Hncy was lined with
money. Delia Green entertained.him , a
and Clara says that it was she irho
wont through the old man's pockets and
took his $500 roll. When arrested that
night and taken to the jail her clothes
Trero thoroughly searched , but tha police
failed to find the money in them , though
the Thomas woman declares now that she
had it on her person at that time.
Col. Smyth , who ia attorney for Delia
Green , made an effort last evening to
have her released on bonds for her ap-
poaranca , but wtH refused , and at a late
hour she was taken up to the county jail
and given quarters there.
A Land Contest Case.
Correspondence of the BEE ,
KELIOII , Nob. , Juno 27. There has
been quite a hotly contested land can
before the United States land commie-
sionota for the last week. The prosecutor
Is Andrew Hup of this place , and the
defendant Is E. R. Oue > all of Omaha.
The attorneys in the case are Oharlos F.
Bagha for the prosecution , and Jndgo J.
H. Gurney for the defendant , both of
Nellgh. It seems that E. B. Oucsall
entered as a timber claim ICO acrea of
government land in Taylor , thla county ,
In 1878 , and had care of the land nntll
about the first of March , 1885 , when fire
swept across the claim and burned a
largo portion of the trees , and Andrew
Hup vidtlng said claim In April and
seeing Its condition concluded that ho
could cot hold of n good piece of land '
wlthont paying much for It , BO ho filed a
contest on the uamo April 21st , 1885.
Onersall is hero looking after the case
and is making It hot for Andrew ,
became ho acorns to bnvo some
knowledge of the legal profession.
The cltizons are watching this
cue with much interest from the fact the
proscutor Is a German who has recently
comointo the state in search of land , and
the defendant Is a Gentleman of African
descent , who Is secretary of the Omaha
timber claim association , and who has
done much to Invite Bottlers to locate in
this county. It is a fact that come or
mott of the fine timber grown In Tabor
valley ore the work of the association.
The defendant seems to bo quite confi i-
dent of success in winning the CJBO.

GONE GLIMMERING.
Mafic His Splurge in Gooi Shape anil
SKippeiltlieTraLaLE ,
A Prominent Dry Goods Sign on
Farnam Street to Oomo Downt
IIio Olinmpton cf Brngs Bumls , Spc-
cUl Sales nntl Big Excursions
Quietly Packs His Grip
nna Steals Away.
It bocamoknown to a taw persona yes
terday , and many last evening , tint M r.
L. Z , Smith , the young man who has
figured so prominently here for olght
months past as tha princa of dry goods
merchants , had quietly chocked his trunk
yesterday morning , purchased a ticket
and departed for pails unknown. Two
, ,
theories have boon advanced as to the
direction ho wont. Ono is that ho took
nl boo line for Canada , and the other
tbat ho has skipped to Mexico. A re
porter for the BEE wai assured late last
evening that ho went out of Omaha on
the Kansas City , St. .Too & Council
Bluffs road , and this gives credence
toK the proposition that ho wQuld go to
Kansas City and from there ever the
San'a Fo to old Mexico. Anyway it Is
certain that ho 1ms gene , and when the
account of his disappearance is road this
morning it will create the most profound
eensatlon that Omaha has enjoyed for a
long time. It ii feared that there < will
be no moro carpeted sidewalks for pedes
trians ! to tread on at their own sweet
will , no moro bands of music to draw
great crowds and suotho the savage brcaat ,
and last but not least no more special ex
cursion parties of gaily dressed ladies
from rural towns to fill the streets
frw
with ! holiday life , and bustle end
excitement. Mr. Smith is to bo
credited horrovor for having left a rep
utation behind him of being an enter
prising " acd smart young man. Ho cer
tainly gave the dry goods merchants of
Omaha , Lincoln , Council Bluffs , Plaits-
mouth and all the other little points
within . a radius of fifty roiloa the liveliest
kind of competition. So far as could
bo learned last night ho loft no debts to
speak of in Omaha. Saturday ho paid
his ' employes ovcry cent duo them and
some ono weoka salary in ad vane ? .
BGB paid his board bill at the Faxton ho
tel about 7 o'clock yesterday morning ,
had : his trunk sent to the depot in tlmo
for the 8 o'clock train and that is the
foh
last that has boon scon of him horo.
The history of Mr. Smith's career in
Omaha is so well known to everybody
that to detail It now is hardly necessary ,
but to make the story of his rise and fall
complcto , a brief review will not bo
uninteresting. About olght mouths ago
ho came hero from Chicago , end it is said
brought something llko § 75,000cashcapi
tal with him. Soon , thereafter , "Smith's
double store , " filled with everything be
longing to the dry goods trade , and
painted white in front , was opened to the
public. Simultaneous with his opening
cut In prices commenced and people
began to flock thither by the hundreds
to make their purchases. Other mer
chants were astounded at the apparent
wrockloBBncsj of their now competitor.
A largo corps of clerks wore required and
employed to wait upon his customers ,
and when trade was dull every place else
Smith's seemed to ba llko a boo hlvo for
activity and business. Older and wleer
heads predicted however that the splurge
would not last long. They compared it
to an explosion of sky rockets or a flash
In the pan. Bat these predictions
and comparisons had no weight
with the young prince. He con
tinued to cut end slash just the same.
One new tchemo followed another in
quick and rapid succession. I'll either
make or break , was his motto. Special
sales brought large excursion trains , got
ten up especially for the occasion from
neighboring towns , and people marveled
at the extreme low price at which they
could purchase goods. Go to Smiths
with $10 and yon can load a wagon , was
commonly expressed , and ho was himself
royal fellow. When the delightful
summer wenther rolled around , Satur
day evenings witnessed an Im
mense attraction at Smiths which
place by this tlmo had come
to bo known as "Smith's Cash Store. " In
front a brass band discoursed sweet music ,
and the laboring class , out to enjoy the
fresh air , rejoiced over the privilege of
such gay and festive amusement as was
furnished them free as the wind that
blows. Smith's open air concert ) were
very popular. Fascinating young ladies
VIdi
delighted to congregate there , under the
glare of electric lights , and lavish their
captivating smiles on susceptible- swells
and dudes who , though ponntless and un
profitable > to the proprietor , helped to
swell the throng and make a showing. It
was a regular picnic. When the band
failed to put in an appearance last Satur
day evening , hundreds of paoplo were
sadly disappointed.
I'no facts of hla failure are these :
Smith la a natural born speculator ; came
to Omaha fresh from the corn and wheat
markets of Chicago ; therefore the usual
dull monotony of the dry goods business
waa not to his tattes nor likings. Since
his advent here It Is known that ho has
Indulged in the fascinating and luring
game of poker , gaining the reputation
among those who "sat In" with him of
"playing them very hard. " He has also
been dabbling constantly and heav
ily In grain speculation ; , losing ,
right along , largo sums of
money. It has been known
'o the wholesale house that ho conldn't
possibly go through the month of July
without help. His mother , who resides
at Plattsburg , Now York , and who U
pocsoesed of considerable moans , paid her
"fly" son a visit only throe or four -weeks
ago , at which time she promised to assist
and help him out of his predicament , but
she Is evidently endowed with the power
of looking far ahead , and observing the
manner la which business wis being car-
rlod on , upon her rotnrn homo wrote the
young man a letter , stating that eho had
changed her mind und could not
possibly assist him In any way ,
There being only one avenue lett for a
ohancoto"pullthrongh" i ho plunged In
to I thogr&lnmarkot again at Chicago , sink-
log about $20,000 on margins on the long '
side of the market , and the steady de
clines finally wiped him cut , The otd
came and Mr. Smith was compgllod to
seek other scones.
Hla bills for goods for the pait four
month ? , amounting to about S150.COO ,
-rould bo duo from the 1st to the 15th of
fuly. A largo number of his oasterr
sredltora had bicmo to feel uneasy and
heir representatives began to arrivi
latt week. Anticipating that their inten
tions were to swoop down npon him about
to-day and force a lottlement , bo sold
out late Saturday evening to two gen-
tlomen from Chicago , Messrs , Cole it
Co. , who will continuo the business , and
ho flow. Ho rocolvod from these gentle
men the sum of $40,000 for hla plant.
It is understood that J. V. F rwoll &
Co , , of Chicago , will bo the hoavioat
losers , as they bad given Smith a $25,000
credit , and he had used nearly the entire
amount. Only Saturday afternoon Far-
well & Co.'s travelling man was here and
sold Smith a 51,100 bill of goods.
A list of the creditors could not bo os-
orlalnod last evening. The liabili
ties though , as stated above , are
not less than $150,000 , assets nothing.
There is little doubt however , that ho
got away with at least $100,000.
Mr. Smiths business manager , F. 0.
Moles , accompanied him , and his cashier ,
also followed on a later twin. Ho was
left behind to got any chocks and drafts
that might coma in oa yesterdays malls.
There Is ono man , who will anfler moro
probably , from Smiths crookedness , than
any body else and that man is N. K
Shelbloy , who was his buyer. On his
word all tho. goods , handled
by Smith wore shipped here * .
In order to keep him Ignorant
of the exceedingly loose manner In which
business was carried on , Smith forced
Shoibloy to remain in Chicago all the
tlmo and giving him to understand that
all bills wore being paid promptly. There
is llttlo doubt that Smith came here to
play a big game , and had ho boon
able to meet his July bills , which would
Dnvo given him n handle for the fall
trade , his stake then would have been
away up In the thousands. A rumor
was current last evening that ho had con
siderably overdrawn at the commercial
national bank , but inquiries of the proper
authorities proved that to bo groundless.

BOOMING.
Glowing Acsonnts of an Immense
Growtt in Western NtWa ,

uomliiRA Scene of Actlv-
It j | ntl KtitcriirUc ,
Mr. 0. H. Taylor , manager of Brad-
street's agency here , gently tapped a
B reporter on the shoulder yesterday ,
and said that ho could Impart several
largo bales of Informatlonnboutthoprosont
Iag'
growth ' of western Nebraska that would
certainly bo of moro or loss general In
terest to every ono. Being invited , upon
the strength of this declaration , to turn
himself loose , Mr. Taylor certainly did
hiP
spin n most enthusiastic story , the sum
and substance of which Is given bolow.
atTi
Ti begin with it Is necessary that the
re draw nn imaginary rainbow line
from Hitchcock county on the south
border of the stnto to Cherry county on
the north border , and have It so that the
bow of this line will lay to the
west. Within that circle the
country Is enjoying a boom such as
the Mnto has never eocn before. Ei-
pccially < is snob tbo case in Cherry coun
ty. Along the Sioux City railroad which
has bson newly extended eighty mlloa
west from Valentino , In the direction of
the Black hills , seven now and ilourlnh91
ing towns have sprung up , where throe
months ago , there was not a hoosa to bo
scon nor no signs of civilisation where
only the coyotes and prairlo dogs en
joyed the freedom of speech nnd the wild
unbroken domain rolled nwny In ondlcai
UIbi
beauty. Some of these Infant towns
now number a thousand Inhabitants nnd
people nro coming In every day by the
hundreds. Houses grow as If touched
Pib some magic wand of nature and the
busy hum of enterprise ) has
supplanted the desolate howl of pestif
erous animals. The most prominent
01ol
olo' these eoven towns are Gordon , with
o'ghteen ' business houses ; Broudouxwith
an equal number and Chaldron , with
twenty. Boudoux however , Is not likely
tc remain very long , as the railroad has
entered n town ihroo mlloa east of there ,
consequently < itwill bo forced to pull up
stakes a d move , The other. ! however
sia
are : permanent and promise to soon become -
come quite important commercial con-
tore. Tlio Republican Valley , says Mr.
Taylor , is also being settled up very
rapidly and the growing crops In that
tiSI
acction never did promise such grand and
glorious results at thla time of the year
Rains have been frequent and gentle.
No snch eovoro storms cf wind nnd hai.
ISsi have visited the eastern part of thel
stato. In Keith county where three
years ago there was nothing to see
but boundless prairie , magnlQciont
farms and fine Improvements now
attract the eye , and at
Ogallab , the county scat , sixteen now
business firms have opened out stocks of
goods this spring. Six and eight car
loads of emigrants stop there ovcry week
and scatter through the country In search
of homes. At many of these now towns
moat of the people are living in tents
while they erect houses ; therefore , the
country looks llko It might ba occupied
with an army of soldiers.
Now comes n dark picture. Hardly
any of those now emigrants are making
preparations for next winter and if the
weather should ba severe , llko laat winter
was , there Is certainly liable to bo great
suffering. No crops , yhatover , have
boon planted In Cherry county , and after
the emigrants have purchased their
farms they will nothave much means loft
tc buy provisions with.

A STEOLL ON THE AVE ,
How Allco Jnckmm TliorotiRhly
Frlgluenod Her Sister Fnnny
nnil Gave tlio Pol lea
n Job ,
Saturday evening , a good looking wall
dressed young lady , all red in the face
with excitement , agitation and nervous
ness , wringing her hands every once in
a while and talking llko aomo ouo la
boring under the depression of a favored
brain , rushed frantically up to police
headquarters ami wanted the outlra
force detailed to ecouro thlo city from
center to circumference in ooarch of her
lost sister. The atory she told , at the
ra to of about nlxty.nlno miles an hour ,
is In substance , that oho and her oister
( They are the Misses. Annie and
Alllco Jackson , agents for "Huckle
berry Finn" ) live 'at the corner
of Jones and fifteenth streets , About 7
o'clocx : Saturday evening she sent her
sister to the grocery store on St. Marys
avenue for their Sunday's supply cf pro
visions , but the girl failed to return in
duo tlmo and thoughts of foul plav com
menced to float rapidly across her mind.
An hour passed and still the erring girl
failed to put in an appearance. Then
the sister at homo boc.imo thoroughly
alarmed and wont to the grocery store
herself. Alllco had not , up to that time ,
which was nearly two hours after she
started away , been , there. This Bottled it.
Fanny , for that waa tlio old tats name ,
began to get wild and weep tears of an
guish. She waa certain that her missing
sister had been Kidnapped by some vil
lainous man and spirited away. Marshal
Cummings sent a detachment of his monte
to make diligent search , nnd the dis
tressed young la'iy ' went along with them.
Near the west end of St. Mary's avanue
they mot the lost lamb In company of a
young man , enjoying n quiet moonlight
stroll , talking of love , flowers and stars
and having a jolly nice time. The fright
ened sister was overjoyed , and returned
homo with her grief all gene and her
tears of sorrow wiped away.
The gentlemen interested in the manage
ment of the base ball park have received tele
grams from Jay Cherry , manager of the
Hastings team , announcing tbat his club will
play two games here on tlm Fourth of July ,
ono in the fnrcnoou and ono in the afternoon ,
03 well as one on the fith. The series will
doubtlcan bo an intently interesting ono.
