IRIOM Tnr. im'sivroTT : nvitEVC.1 The delegates to the Hastings conven tion , such as have wended their weary way homeward , ditl not appear to be very enthusiastic over the gathering or its results. A delegate at the depot yes terday , witli his eyes nearly shut from lo s of sleep , pronounced it n tame aflalr or n failure he hardly knew which. Another delegate from the county of Gage was emphatically of the opinion that it was nn Omaha gathering and that J. Sterling Morton would never have recognized in it the party that has heretofore rallied to the support of his men and measures. When thu Lancaster delegates that sur vived the night and returned In the morn ing reached the city , they hail nothing to point to as going to show that the county was represented In the convention at all , and Mr. Sawyer and Postmaster Watkius were only common every day clay in the sight of tlio Omaha power that swayed tliu convention in ch.innols to tlieir own liking. "Tho trouble is , " said a delegate from an adjoining county , "thnt the re publicans , In changing their tactics anil putting nn a man like General Thayer instead of a man of straw as heretofore , have taken a good deal'of the wind out of our sails , anil to light Thayer with North or any other man is a nopule&s light from its inception. " INDIANS IN THE SOUTHWEST. A gentleman from Sheridan county who was in Lincoln yesterday gave an interesting account of the progress and prosperity of the northwestern part of the state , which is filling up at a great rate. The relater lives not far from the Pine Ridge agency , and ho calls attention to some matters that are worth a littto consideration. According to the rules of the agent of the reservation a white man dare not hunt or travel over that sacred ground with a gun or dis charge lire-aims , and yet ho states that over-100 Indians put in a month a short time ago , roaming over the sand hills around the headwaters of the Dismal river , a hundred miles from the reserva tion , armed with Winchester rifles ami slaughtering game by the wholesale , principally for the hides that they tooK back to the reservation with winch to trade and trallic. "More game was killed in this raid of tlio red skins down on tlio territory of the settlers than tlio settlers would kill themselves in live rears , " remarked the gentleman from Sheridan , "and beside frightening women nnd children on scattered homesteads , the Indians did a lively business in the kill ing of cattle on the ranges for their hides , carrying this business to such an extent that it is stated Mr Paxton , one of the losers , lias put in a claim against the gov ernment lor MO head. " From inter views of this kind with residents of the north boundary counties it would look as though a rather loose state of affairs is alloat up in tlio Pine Hidgo country since the removal of Agent McGillicuddy. A FIQIIT oviu : FEis. To-day in county court the case of Ran dall vs. Crooker for assault and battery was up before Jmlgo Parker and by virtim of nn affidavit was continued over until ono week from to-day. The trouble uroso over a collection. Crooker being a sort of a lawyer , ami KuHlilj ; ; , it 13 un derstood , had lodged ft claim with him. Yesterday the two were in Crocker's otlico , and what passed there DO one seems to know except that there was a dispute over $20 and tbe door was locked , and some kind of an assault was committed. Both parties are verging on the venerable ago and ought to have known better , but it is only a short time ago that Crookor had an altercation of a similar nature , and ho seems to bo in clined toward pugilism , judging from the two cases. 1)1 KI ) FItOM HIS WOUNDS. William Shupo , the B. & M. brakeman who had his arm amputated by the cars at Bennett the other morning , died from his injuries received , and the remains were shipped by the company to Shupo's relatives in Pennsylvania. Shupc had made such request before his death , and it was carried out as he wished. This is tlio second death the present week of Imikemon on the B. & M. , and both coup ling cars. cars.FIIP.IOHT CAII itonnr.niES. About ton days ago , upon opening a car of Chicago freight for Lincoln , it was found to have been robbed of much of its contents , and as stated in the BEE at that time detectives were working on tlio case and had satisfied themselves that the mealing must have been done cast of the Missouri. Yesterday Briscoo & Wright of this place received what purported to bo two cases of shoes that came to Lin coln from Chicago over the Union Pacific The ca cs had been robbed somewhere on the i oul : to the extent of some two hundrci' ' dollars worth of line slices , and the com pany were at ouco notified and they in turn began the work of ascertaining i possible a clue as to the location of the thieving.

Tlie Dnslilnc Queen of tlio Tcva < nntl . Denver News Xowa l\M bcnn re ceived in Denver of the pr.-spnca of the noted Texas female bandit in Colorado , bhc anil IKT male companions , with a complete camji outfit , are camped within four miles of Monte VMa , near Del rsorte. in the southern part of the state , olio and her gang m dii their appearance there about two > \ci'ks ago , and so far have resisted all attempt * at interview , and many pflbrts have IHM n made to ascertain their business In that locality. The citizen * were naturally curou : about tiioir presence , and when all advances wt-ro repelled by the woman and her companion , the citizens came to the conclusion that they weio there for no good , probablv rob bery. Not wanting them in thoir'midst , and not knowing r\actlv how to got rid of them , a meeting was held nml a man commissioned to come to Denver to con sult General 1) . J. Cook. The gentleman arrived in Denver yesterdav and hold a long consultation with the."general , but what plan , if any , was agreed upon to rid tlio neighborhood of the suspicious characters is not known. Through the courtesy of Ooneral Cook , a News reporter had an interview with theaentleman from Monte Vista. "Everybody in our neighborhood , " ho said , "don't take much slock in the woman , believing her lo bo a man or boy who lias uMiimed the female garb for a purpose anil that mirposc is robbery. Mio ( I'll call her a she ) and her compan ions wont into camp , I think , to-night two weeks ago. Monday niornitm two hunters struck the camp and were going forward to it , when they were stopped by a girlish voice commanding them to halt W lion they recovered from their surprise they noticed a slim , irirlibh liguro calmly seated on a thoroughhrcd hoiao , a lovol- ver in each hand , seemingly awaiting their approach. "They hallooed that they wore friends ami meant no incivility in attempting to approach the camp. "She made no reply , but waved them oft'with his pistol. No sooner had they turned their backs on the inhospitable newcomer than she put her horse into a gallop and circled around them , riding with such skill and grace as to elicit the admiration ol the hunters. When they came to Montp Vista and told their story it was discredited , but since then every one in the plaeo 1m had a glimpse of her and several of her male companions , and two or three have had a few moments' conversation with her. 1 am ono of the favored few in the latter respect. " "What Is she like * " " 1 should judge her or him to bo about eighteen or nineteen years old , long black hair that is allowed to tloat down her back , black eyes , a thin , brown attractive - tractive face , white teeth , and rather thiu lips. She is not over live feet six inches in height , has a slim but.well-rounded ligure , and her whole make-up reminded mo of a wildcat. She had on when I saw her a tight-fitting gray dross , short enough to disclose her buckskin moccasins sins and legiins. Around her waist was a white leather bolt supporting two scab bards , in which were two largo ivory- 'Handled revolvers. On her head she ivoro a white sombrero or cowboy hat , ono side of which was pinned up with a silver bridle bit. She was mounted on a horouglibred gray stallion , and was ono of the prettiest pictures 1 have seen for a ; oed while. " 1 asked her who she was , and she re- jiliod in a not unmusical voice , but with a decided southern accent , that she was .he 'Texas Queen. ' 1 further asked her ivhat her business was , and she replied .hat it consisted in attending to her own business , i then asked her why she would allow no ono to enter her camp , and she replied she would allow no ono : o interview her , and if she allowed one erson to oomo into her camp everybody elSe would want _ to do tlio same thing.amt she wasn't going to nljow anyone to mod- die with her surroundings. While talking to her ! had gradually approached ; but she look in my every movement , and when-I was within about ten feei of her she wheeled her horse and was off like an arrow. She circled around mo for several minutes , gradually narrowing the circle until she was in about twenty feet , probably of where I stood , and suddenly reined her hpr.su back on its haunches. Placing the bridle reins in her teeth she drew her revolvers , and , motioning with her loft hand to two small trees which stood on either side , and about the same distance from tbo trail , probably about lifty yards ahead , she urged her horse to full speed , and when what seemed to me directly be tween the trees she fired both revolvers , mil , without turning to look uround , rode in the direction of the camp. "I was curious to see the result of her marksmanship , and on going to the trees found a bullet in each ono about the same distance from the ground. She has also displayed her wonderful marksmanship to several others in our place , nnd ail of them assert that they have never seen anyone oven in this land of good shots so remarkably skillful with tlio pistol. " "lias any ono else found out any more about her than you have ? " "I think not. She has been seen several times mounted on a superb bay horsis which is as well trained as her gray and probably as licet. To toll you the truth , wo don't know what to make of lior. She won't allow anyone to get near enough to capture her , and as she nasn't done any thing to warrant us In iisinc force to ar rest her , wo don't know what do. There is ono thing sure , however , wo don't want her in our neighborhood , and for that reason I came to Denver to con sult witii Genoial Cook. Wo are not scared , but wo nro naturally curious and want the mystery explained. No ono among us who has seen the "Queen" but Uelioyes Itla n man masmioradiug hi fe male attire.r "Did you over hear of the female out law of Texas , wlio was chased Into Ar kansas and then into tlio Indian terri tory , where she was nt last accounts ! " 'rXo , 1 never heard of her. " The gentleman was shown a slip from n St. Louis paper giving a description of tlio beautiful outlaw nnd an interview with her , in which she said that she IKK never been interviewed , and declarer her intention of killing the lirst reporter who attempted to interview hor. That settles it , " ho said. "That is the identical girl. I was under the im presion that the 'quten" was a man , bin the follow who wrote that certainly liar bettor opportunities to know who nnd what she la hotter than I have nail , or anybody in our community. Ilo do scribedlior characteristics exactly , and especially her aversion to being Inter viewed. What ho says about her fanoj shooting is true , as I and others can swear to. " "Will General Cook go to Monte Vista ! " " 1 suppose ho will. Ho says If wo wanl him to go and arrust her nud hut * unm panions ho'll do it , I will have to con suit with ttio boys when I got back , am if wo agree to have the party run in wo'l telegraph the general und iio'll come , ' Strange to say , General Cook hat never Heard of the Texas female outlaw After reading her description tind char ucteristics hols inclined to the belief tha the strange character camped near Monte Vuta is one and the aamoporiion. When asked if ho wru not coing to attouip her arrest , ho said ho hadn't heard any thing about it , but if he attempted to in tcrviow her ho would do so. Ho says ho Is satisfied .that aho and her male com panions are horse thieves , and the socme they are run out of the country the bctto of tha country will bo. Whether she is a horse thief or not , ho thinks Colorndc can get along very well without any o her class. Coal Best quality Iowa Nut Coa (3.75. Coutant & SquJres , 313 S. 18th st. BILL COLLECTING. The T\'nys of the Small lawyers null the llemilar Agencies An important trade in San 1-rancisco , ike in all other large cities , is that of collectinc bill * . ay 3 the San I'raueisco hroniclo. Tlio number of proplo who lave brought ' 'llvi.iir on nothing a year" down to a science , tlio class of men that go into enterprises on credit , with an easy eonerioncc and no money , and the clas < that have n constitution aver e to paying bill * whether they have the money or not , furnish collectors and collection agencies with a constant and lucrative employment , llow thee ela es of peo- ) lcget credit is ono of tlio my terics of uisiness probably duo to the keenness of competition among tradesmen. 'NN ith a view to learning something about the in.sido methods of the pro- : e3 ioii , reporter suggested to a collector .hat ho must have some queer experi ence * occasionally. "Queer' Well , rather , " answereil tlio jolltctor. "Our business is with 'lodgers n Queer street , ' and we see some rum hlngs. If you want to get variety of ifi > on its shadv confines , and a sprink- intr of it in all tints , you ought to go r.to the collection business. ' ' As the collector hero sighed thought fully , and seemed inclined to close the conversation the reporter ventured to uako some inquiry auotit the city col- ectors. "There nro a peed many collectors iu San I'rancNco , was the reply , "but : hey may all bo described m two clitascs. Tlio first class includes the small lawyers young fellows just celling a start , as a rule , though you tind some old hands among them. They work singly. The others belong usually to one of the regu lar collection agencies , and work to gether on some sort of a system hunt n parties , as it wore , and beat out their game like a hand of sportsmen. " The collector se-ited himself for a long conversation by tilting Ills chair back , lesting liis feet on the table , and lighting a cigar. "N'ow , " he continued , "tho younu la\y- yer has several ways of going about his business. Supposing him to have a case a bill the next thing to do is to find his inan. If he is impecunious ho goes out in person with the bill and hunts the fel low up. If ho has had a fee within a week or two and lias the price of half a dozen incals in his pocket he usually writes. ith an ordinary bill ho must write four letters. The lirst will say' 'Dear Sir : A bill against you has been placed in my hands for collection. You will oblige , etc. , by calling at my ottice and settling the same. ' There is no an swer to this. The second letter is still polite , but firm. The third lottcr is worded somewhat in this way'Dear Sir : If the inclosed is not paid wo shall begin suit at once. ' The fourth and last is a summons to answer in a suit. In nine cases out of ten this is effectual. If a man has any standing at all he won't go through the justice's court for a little bill , so they come up anil settle. 'But these are simple cases. The tough ones are usually turned over to the col lection agencies. Tlio collection agencies will take anything , and if the biil is col lectible they can usually get the money. When bills come in they arc 'districted' according to the part of the city in which they belong. They arc then turned over to tlio regular collector for that district , who present them in the Usual smooth , oily form. After a bill has been out once it is reassigned , according to the recep tion which it received. If the debtor manifested u disposition to pay , it is placed in the luinds of an otuiunry col lector. The hard cases , though , arc turned over to the collector technically known as the bulldozer. "The buljdo/er is a big man , and usually carries a club for company. He goes to tlio hard case , swells liimsulf up to look as big as possible , tramps up and down the room with his club for a cauo , and announces that he has come to see that bill paid. Ho doesn't make nny threats ; that is against the law. But he lias a very suggestive way of twirling his club and making the most of his big voice , and if the hard case js a small man ho usually succumbs at the lirst encounter. If ho is a big man the argument gets pretty warm , and they dare nach other to come out into the street and light. But as the bulldozer has orders not to fight un less necessary , and there are not many that want to try to throw him out , there is usually a compromise. "What struck mo as remarkable as anything , when I lirst wont into tiio busi ness , " resumed the collector , reflectively , after a pause , "was the number of men who would acknowledge a bill but de cline to pay it for some frivolous reason. There are lots of men who go into an en terprise with the cheerful intention of allow ing some ono else to foot the bills in case of failure. I had n case where a machinist did some work for an inven tor. 1 presented the bill last week. 'The bill is all rieht , ' he confessed , 'but the machine is no good. Do you think I am paying bills of that kind ? As ho has a little property I think ho will pay in a few days. Sometimes a man ot this kind denies that the bill is rightfully his. Ho made the purchase , or had the work done on somebody else's advice , and wo must get the uionoy out of them. "One of the characters of the profes sion is the cheerful debtor. He is a bland smiling person that sheus threats as a duck does water. Ho has no property ami no income. Ho is as unconcerned as tlio summer breeze , and admits the bill with as much concern as though it were his mother-in-law's. Ho invariably winds up with 'Oh , go ahead , nnd sue if you think you can tret it that way. 1 haven't the slightest objection.1 "Tlio sarcastic kind is usually a wo man. 1 had ono yesterday that follows the cheerful business of laying out the dead. By the way she went for mo I didn't know but what she was going to follow her profession right there , and In tended to see to it that I furnisliqd the corpse. 'And is that the kind of a bill yo man that calla himself a doctor and gives a girl in spasms medicine to bo taken once in four hours ! ' I remonstrated that she had culled the doctor and ouirlit to pay him , 'Doctors Is no good , ' she said scornfully , 'I throwed his medicine out tlio window , and-I'd like to servo him the samo. Oh , ' she continued , becoming very sarcastic , 'you can sue if you want to ; but you knows what them catches as . ' And she talked BUCS beggars. indig nantly out. "Tho blustering man Is another nlco character. Ho comes thundering around with a big noise ami a led fnco.nnd wants to know why In the name of the seven devils ho is disgraced by having a bill Bent to him through the agency , 'Tho Idea , ' ho blusters , 'of anybody supposing I wouldn't pay the bill. ' But ho never does. Ho goes out with the parting shot that he would have paid it , but now he will wait till ho gets ready. There Is only ono wny ti > renon thnt Jiinrt of man , We go right to his employer , he is usually getting a good salary , and wo force a collection. No quarter is shown in such cases , " "What do you tind the hardest class to deal with In the city , " asked the re porter. "Woll , about the toughest cases wo get arc the bills against lawyers some of the big down-town fellows that YOU would Mover suspect , too. If the cllunU only know it. tiioy could pay some big fens pretty cheap by buying up the bills that are floating around. The be.'t class to collect from is the medium poor , who have a small regular income. Wo meet pitiful cases of broken-down rospecta- Lilly , trying to keep up appearances. The excuses they make and thn pains they take to hide their povcrtyjaro really touching. Wo are never hard on such people , though our business isn't one that ban inuoh heart in it.

It is often important to trace a debtor who has left the citv , or to run down and find the property of one who lives here. The poMoflicc is a very Rood clew for the for mer , and we have tracked men through a dozen removals by its help. For the latter the county clerks arc invaluable. Then , the best collection agencies usually have an agent sub rosa , of course in every shcrih"'s ollicc in the state , Not a few cases of our detective work consist in tracking members of the demi-monde who have fitted up elegant bouses on credit , and after a few months sold out to some other woman of her class and skipped with the proceeds. Sometimes wo mid that the lilting up has been with the backing of some eminent capitalist , who tinds it convenient to settle the bill iu the quietest possible manner. "Hut as you may see. the collector's life like the policemen's is not altogether a happy one. The business is not what it is cracked up to be.

Boston Transcript : Some one ought to write a short treatise on horse car be havior. A few simple rules would bene fit the public who ride in these demo cratic institutions , and perhaps not a few individuals would , thus acquire an ink ling of their relatipns to the grand pub lic which they would never know from the influences and teachings of the home circle. These rules should bo the converse - verso of the following : Fir.'t In an open horse car , allow everybody to stumble over you in fretting a scat , as a reminder of the obstacles they will meet in life. Don't move an inch for the worltl. Thereby you demonstrate your immobility , and that you possess admirable firmness , and may be relied upon in an emergency to stick. Second When a woman enters any car , never bo lirst in proffering her a scat. Wait and see if anybody else does so. Look along down the male line of pas sengers , and by your expression convey au Idea of amazement that others should allow her to stand up. If she should bo a working woman , concentrate your whole brain on the newspaper before you. Such power of isolation in a crowd ed horse car denotes rare qualities , and indicates the possession of unusual indi viduality. Third In leaving a horse car wait until the conductor _ is aoout to start up. By so doing you will be taught a lesson in dy namics that may prove of immense prac tical advantage to you in the future. This rule will chielly apply to women ; but one exclusively for them would read : When a womim gets into a car and makes for a scat , take a rapid nnd com plete inventory of her entire costume , from bonnet strings to shoe lacings , not ing every defect iu syrametery or tault in blending colors , aimsatirically comment ing on thorn to your companions. Thus shall you magnify your own artistic tem perament and precise nnd elegant taste. In advance of the unhealthy season regulate nnd strengthen your system. Dr. J. H. McLean's ' Strengthening Cor dial and Blood Purifier will make you healthy , strong and vigorous. The Younfj Clergyman's First Wed ding Foe. Chicago Intor-Occan : It was thnlr first wedding. The groom was "now.1 so was tliil bride , and the Congregational clergyman had committed matrimony only in his imagination. Finally , how ever , it was all over : the twain was one flesh , and the little wife was weeping in the arms of the mother. The groom slipped up to the nervous minister , nnd as that gentleman was about to pass out into the night , pressed a coin into his hand. "A $20 gold plqco , " thought the young preacher. His Jicrt beat faster now than when he was oflieiating at the wed- ding. Ho needed tire money so much. Indued ho often wlsl/cd / his meagre salary was one-half its sizeho had such diflf- eulty in collecting it. Ami now to receive ? 20" " all at onco. Why , it . Tluii it occurred to him that it 'was customary for the minister to make" the bride a present of his lirst marriage fee , The good man fiighedasho removed his thin overcoat , nnd returned to the room where the guests wore offering1 their congratula tions to the newly wedded couple. "I forgot something , " said ho , as ho approached tljg bride , "Thb ; ? U 9 jifrt lunrf'ueo foe 1 have . < svor received. It is yours. It shouldbo kept as u reminder of tills occasion. " The young briilo stretched out her hand and the coin rang as it touched her marriage ring. Tim guests looked up ; the unconscious wife did not close her hand upon the fifty cent piece that lay there , and all saw it. The minister was glad it was his iirst marriage ; the guests tried to appear as if they did not see the half dollar , nnd the reporter quietly smiled , and thought perhaps the young husband was saving up to buy the divorce.

Philadelphia TimciVhat : becomes of the ballet girls1 The old ballot mas ter repeated tiie question to himself mu singly. "Well , " lie at length answered , "tho ballet girl is not so very unlike other girls \Uio must work for a hviug , as most people imagine. She has more tempta tions , is usually of a lively nature and not averse to a lark , but she generally ends by marrying. As a rule , she marries somn 6"ne connected with the theater or some one in her own class of life whom she meets at her home. Obviously the ballet girl's parents are almost always poor people. It is not often that girls of well-to-do parents run away to join the ballet , and when they do they are in nearly every ease soon captured and tt'.Ken homo. When a ballet-girl marries a mechanic , or a saloonkeeper , or a stage hand , it is the exception when she does not make a good and domestic wife. Some ballot girls have made aristocratic marriages , but most of these girls were premieres. They hayo usually gotten along well with their husbands , and it has happened that a fast youth has re formed after taking a balleriana for his wife. When a ballot girl marries an actor that is as it may turn out. just as if the actor married any other girl. There are ballet girls who go to the bad , of course , but the experience of the ballet girl makes her shrewd , and she is not easily humbugged.1 liciiton's lialr Grower All who are rJALD. all who are becomlna BALI ) , all who ilo not want to bo bald , all who ar troubled with UA.VUKUFK , or H'CIltNG of the scalp ; should USD Bunion's Hair Grower.
