Another experiment is to bo made on
Saturday next in regard to running
special trains Irom Omaha to Lake Man-

Union Pacific to sell round trip tickets

choosing to accept tins coupons and get
them cashed at the Union Pacific ticket
ofllco , nt Broadway , can do so , This will
enable the excursionist. * to take passage on

experienced. The one dollar pays to the

The democrats held their county con
vention in the opera house yesterday to
select delegates to the congressional and
judicial conventions which meet hero to-
dav. The convention was a quiet alVair ,
not because Ihore was n lock of demo
cratic enthusiasm , but because there was

paring for another and more important
convention.
The cohvc'iilion was called to order by
J. J. Shea , who named for temporary
chairman , It. W. Briggs of Carson. On
taking the chair Mr. Hrlirgs relieved his

A committee on credentials was ap
pointed consisting of L. Konnehuu ,
( Joorire Jackson , ol the city ; II. Soiferl.

John Dye , of Macedonia.
As committee on permanent orirani/a
tlun J. J. Frainey , A. C. Graham , W. L.
1'atton was eho < en.
Adjournment was then taken until 1
o'clock.
On reassembling the convention was
organized by the report of the commit
tees. The temporary organisation was
made permanent with the addition of A.
Kink as assistant secretary.
A committee of ono from each precinct
and township was chosen to select the

Still lint OH' Confession.
The special telegram published in yes
terday's BKK , giving the confession of
Still Bates , who is to be hung in Indiana
to-day , caused no little talk ami stir here
yesterday. The chief interest centered
about the statement that Bates confessed
to Huvmir hit a man with a sand bag in
Council Hlull's , and throwing him under a
sidewalk , whore he was afterwards found
dead , and supposed to have frozen to
death while drunk. No name was given
of who this victim was , and there was
much conjecturing yesterday. The most
commonly accepted theory seemed to bo
thatthc victim was probably Mr , Nicola
baker , and well Known citizen , who was
found fro/.on to death March 18 , 1885.
Mr. Nicol left the house the night before ,
and in the morning his body was found ,
ho lying on his face in a ditch in which
there was a little water. Ills death was
never satisfactorily explained , and his
friends have never been able to content
themselves with the theory that ho had
drank too freely and wandered oil' . Ho
was a man who drank .some , but there
were no salisfaclory evidences that ho
came to his death in any such way.
Hence the idea that ho was tlio one whom
Bates slugged was rmilo generally ac
cepted on reading the BEB'S dispatch yes
terday.
There was no money found on Nicol's
boity , and his shoes were oil' . No trace
of them was found. There were no
special marks of violence found upon
him , except some slight bruises , which
could easily be accounted for in other
ways. At the time ot his death it was
learned that Mo had been neon in com
pany with several others , but nothing
definite could bo learned. The supposi
tion that Nicol was slugged by Bates bo-
cimo so general yeatenlay that telegrams
wore sent by the chief of police and
by others , to learn further details , Dates'
published confession not giving any
names. The answer to these telegrams
were being watched for with mtieh in
terest.
So common had become the report
some than ago that Mr. Nicol met with
death by his own carelessness , that the
Odd Fellows insurance company in
wliiuh he hold a policy , declined for. come
time to pay the policy. A few days ago ,
however , the company paid the amount ,
$1,0 < K ) , to the family.
As to tlui confession of Dates Ihat ho
was a member of a wing of the Jesse
James gang , the statement revives the
recollection of statements made by him
to persons hero. To ono he said ho be
longed to such a gang , and to another ho
admitted that , ho stood in \ \ ith a party of
horse thieves , who belonged in Missouri
and who were running hor.-es into Ne
braska. These statements being made
when ho was under the influence of drink
worn considered us mere talk , and little
attention paid to them.
His brother , William Date ? , has gone to
Indiana to claim the body , in case he is
hung to-day , and will have it brought
back to this city for interment , that being
thr request ot the doomed man. .

The people of Macedonia are making
arrangements for an Old Settlers' ' meet
ing and Harvest Home reunion , to bo held
in Tompklns' grove , near town , on Sep
tember 31 , 1886 , for Mills and Potrawat-
tamio counties , The design is to Ijavn
the old settlers and pioneers of two coun
ties meet and renew former acquaint
ances and talk over olden tim/vs , and also '
cfTcct a Permanent organization should
they so desire1.
lion. W. H. M. Pusey will bo the prin
cipal speaker of the occasion , but not the
only one , ns there nro many speakers
among the old settlers , and wo propose
having them hero.
There will be no barbecue or roasted
ox , but there will bo a basket dinner in
the grove and ample provision will be
made to accommodate all coming from a
diKtancc. The generosity of the people
of this section has never noen fully tested
but none will need go hungry.
Due notice of an extra train from Coun
cil Blull's will bo given hereafter.
A great interest is being taken by old
seniors thus far , and we liavc ovcry rea
son to expect a grand gathering. Lay
aside everything and pome , for you know
not that you will ever have another
chanto to meet so many of those who
have so long borne the heat anil burden
of the day. .1. M. KKI.I.KV , Secretary.

The case of Hornkel vs. Pratt and
Walker came to a close in the circuit
court yesterday. The suit was a peculiar
one. Hornkeil claims that he lent Pratt
: fWO : on the strength of Walker stoning
the note with Pratt. Pratt not being
able to [ iay he commenced suit to force
Walker to stand good for tlfo endorse
ment. Walker claimed that he never
.signed the note and that it was a forgery.
Pratt claimed Ihat Walker did , and a
number of expert witnesses testified that
in their judgment the signature on the
note was that of \ \ alkrr. The jury was
out several hours and finally decided
that they could not agree , and were dis
charged. It is said that otoht were in
favor of returning a verdict in Walker's
favor , and four against him. The court
instructed the jury lo bring in a verdict
against Pratt , in any event , as he ad
mitted his liability , but the twelve men
tried and true feared Ihat if they brought
in a verdict as against Pratt simply it
would let Walker out entirely , and to
this the four objected. The disagree
ment was therefore , made to cover the
whole transaction , and Pratt , who ad
mitted owing the amount gets on" without
any judgment being entered against him
even on his own confession ,

There seems little doubt but that
Colonel John II. Kcatloy will bo made
the democratic nominee for congress at
the convention to be held to-day. No
other name is _ talked of to any extent ,
and the nomination will doubtless be
given him without a dissenting vote.
There arc a number of candidaths
named for the judicial convention. There
'
are three to b'o nominated. Amonjr the
aspirants are : L. L. Delano , of Cas.sP. ; P
Kelley , of Mills ; J. M. Hammond , of
Fremont ; G. W. Cullison. of Shelby ; E.
E. Aylesworth , of Pottawattamie ; 11. U.

A SINKING STAR.
The Probable Fatal Illness of Tom
Kccnc , tlio Talented Tragedian.
New York Journal : Everything points
to the fact that Mr. Tom Kcone , the tra
gedian , will never go on the stage again.
It would be amiracloth.it would permit
him to return.
For some time past Manager Haydcn
has been dubious about the chances of
his star regaining his health , and though
the stories wore all rosy that were told
about his condition in the early portion
of the season , they have gradually become
como more and more uncertain , until
Mr. Haydcn freely confesses that the
actor who was unqncstionaoly the very
best exponent of the brain and muscle
school of the American stage will be seen
no more.
It will be" remembered that about nine
months ago Mr. Kecno was suddenly
stricken with paralysis in St. JosephMo.
He was brought back hero by easy stages
and went to reside at his old home in
Drooklyn.
To a great extent his power of speech
was gone. He stuttered while speakinir ,
and his tongue seemed to stick on certain
words and be unable to pronounce ( hem.
Still , ho appeared in public more or less ,
was seen tit some of the theatres , and
when the summer season came on he
went down to his place at Sea Bright.
There he secmcil to recover much of
his old vitality and his speaking got
clearer. Manager Hayden was over
joyed at the new prospects and told
everybody confidently that his coming
season would be all right.
All at once there was a chance. Mr.
Keene grow worse , the return of the diffi
culty of speech was most apparent , and
the paralysis of one side of the bodv ap
peared to increase. For a few days Man
ager Haydcn hoped that it would change
for t'ne better , but he soon had to give
this up , for it was apparent that Air.
Keene not alone would not act , but in all
probability would sink rapidly and die
before long. It is now believed , es
pecially bv those who know Mr. Kecnc's
condition best , that ho will not Jive more
tliitn ninety days.
With him will pass away , probably ,
taken altogether , the best actor in
America. He has been eminent in every
brunch of theatric art , in his younger
days even singing in opera. He has been
a leading man in tragedy , comedy and
drama , a burlesque actor , low comedian
and a tragedian. His Richard III was
unquestionably the best to bo seen in
the'world. Ho had a largo fund of ani
malism , which ho constantly' drew upon
to exert himself to the utmost In his act
ing. It was undoubtedly this constant
over exertion that brought on the pa
ralysis that will undoubtedly prove fatal ,
