There being nothing of npoclnl Importance at Issue ; no big , rod hot campaign to prepare Tor , very llttlo Interest attached to the affair , nnd commlttcomon Attached moro Interest to tlio fine crops , new Improvements and flattering tunlncss prospects In ttiolr various localities than they did in politics. Ilowovor , Gcargo D. Molkoljnha availed hlmsoU ot the oppor tunity to lay a few wires preparatory to en tering the race for governor next .year. Ho cautiously denies , though , all allegations coupling his name with the ofllce , nnd deftly trios to create an impression outside his own confidential circle that ho Is not a candi date. date.Uoblnson nnd Atkinson , lenders of the prohibition league at Lincoln , have prepared and sent out to their friends all ovnr the state on address urging them to elect ns many prohibition delegates as possible to the Btato convention. They propose to introduce - , troduco a resolution committing the party to the support of submission. Douglas county Is entitled m the forthcom ing convention to sixty-eight delegates. D. A. Scovlllc , of Hamilton county , ob served that It would bo a fatal mfotaho for the prohibitionists to create nnothor such scone and row as tlioy did ono year ago last spring. Hosuld ; I am strongly in favor of submission , and will probably vote for a prohibitory liquor law , but don't bollovo In holding the party responsible olthor for Its success or defeat , I iccognlza the fact that there are plenty of an tl-prohlbltlonlsts , Justus good republicans as there are on the otbor side , nnd shall not favor any such a resolu tion. " A. J. Wright , of Tccumsoh , says that ono yonrogo Johnson county would hnvo glvon a majority for prohibition , but It has switched around and Is the ether way. These expressions voice the sentiments and opinion of every man talked with , Un less it should happen to got into a light over prohibition the convention will bo a vary tame affair. Nominations for supreme Judge and twn regents of tbo state university are the only ones to bo tnado. No ono scorns to have any knowledge about the aspirants or who they arc. Judge Hocso , who term oxolrcs , will bo up for ro-elcctton , it Is claimed , but so far as heard from ho has no opposition. Judge Dlllworth , of Hastings , has boon mentioned , but his son , who was here yesterday , snya that the old gentleman will not bo a candi date. Molkoljohn said ho heard some talk of Judge Post , but could not say definitely whotncr ho proposes to enter the race or remain quietly nt homo. Ho tried it last year against Judg o Maxwell. In the committee- meeting which was held at R o'clock , Hastings captured the state con. vontlon without apportion. Mr. Dllworth , of that city , invited the committee to call the 'convention there , and assured It that all con vention expenses would bo paid by the en terprising city. There was no real fight over the matter of representation only a misunderstanding which was dissipated after a short , if sharp discussion. Mr. Hcnjamln Cowdroy , deputy secretary ot state , moved that the oasis of representa tion bo ono delcgato for each ISO votes cast tor Secretary Laws , and ono delegate at largo for each county. To both of his propositions exceptions wore tnlcon. Mr. Caldwell , of Red Willow county , ob jected to the selection of Mr. Laws' name , nnd suggested thtit of Presidential Elector Hastings. Auditor Bonton's name was also suggested. Mr. Cowdroy explained that it mndo no difference whether Melklojohn or Laws was , cliosen , the number of delegates would bo the samo. In either case , on the basis of ono dolcgdto for each ISO votes cast , the total would bo about QUO delegates ; if ono for cacti 150 votes , as heretofore , there would be 800 delegates. Ho advocated making the ratio ono f jr each 180 votes. Secretary Soely obtained the floor and In sisted upon separating tbo two propositions. "First sottla the ratio , then accept a candi date to count from , " ho said , and they did so. Mr. Soely was outspoken in favor of lurgo conventions. 'Iho larger number was tbo bolter ; it Insured bolter worlc and con sequently moro general satisfaction. The committee supported this vlow when it was put to a vote , and 150 to 1 was the ratio adopted. Then followed the suggestion by Brad Slaughter that Elector Kussoll bo substi tuted for Hastings , on tba ground that Kus- scll was ilrst chosen of the electors. But Mr. Caldwell favored Hastings on tbo ground that ho was selected to carry the vote to Waihlngton. Ho also favored the BO- loctlou of any ono of the presidential electors over a state oDlcor , because there wns no fac tional light entering into the vote on electors , nnd hoiico that vote most correctly divided tha democrats from the republicans. This vlow wns also regarded with favor by the committee and they adopted it. "What shall bo done about the now coun ties ! " was as iced. ' I move that no proxies bo admitted to the convention except trom counties from which delegates were elected , " said Mr. Caldwoll. Hln motion carried. Mr. Rllchrlst moved that all now counties bo given representation in fair proportion to that given tno old. These now counties nro Banner , Cheyenne , Dcuol , Klmbnll and Scott's Bluffs , all carved out of old Cheyenne : Rock county , sot ofl from Brown , and Arthur. According to the figures of Secretary Seely , all the now coun ties would only bo entitled to us many dole- Bates as had boon hold by tuo same territory when It was all comprised within Choyeana county , except that to each there should be given ono dologate-at-largo. Rock county should divide Brown county's old vote with tbo now Drown county , nnd thai should constitute tha rule for all now counties. This seemed to the committee to bo vary ucnsiblo waj to provide for the now counties , so a motion embodying Mr. Bcoly' * ideas was put and carried. Mr. Sooly reminded the committee thai Arthur county was not represented In the tabulated statement of vote by counties , and asked what disposition of the ease would be inudc. It was decided to aslc the ofllolali of that county to supply the necessary flguros and to base the representation thereon. After fixing the duto of the convention ot October 1 , at 8 p. ui. , the mooting was ad lournod. This was the best attended of all tbo meetIngs Ings of the state committee thus far. Then wore only two absentees John Eberly , ol Stantou , and Major J. 0. WaUon , of Nebraska ka City. XJlfcJ ICNKhlj OP CliDAtt. Clmlruinn Baloomo Hounds It Wlrt Coniildornblo Energy.

"Thoro Is a largo quantity of spurious money afloat In Omaha , " remarked a well known dry goods merchant yesterday , "and every day wo nro offered bills of a spurious character. Ouly this morning one of my customers , a lady , tendered mo a counterfeit bill In payment for a bill of goods , and she was greatly annoyed when I Informed bet that it was a spurious bill. " "Yes , " remarked the receiving teller at the First National bank , "thorp In no and tc counterfeit money afloat. Within the lasl wcok T have thrown out at least $150. The bills are excellent Imitations and oan hardly be detected from the genuine except by an export. There Is a $5 silver cortillcato ol the series of 1SSO , check letter D , which tc all nppearanoos is as good as the genuine. The paper is good , the lathe work excellent , the signatures almost if not uulto as good as on the government issue ; m fact In aomo re spects it excels the gcnuino. The United States certificate of 1SSU originally had a small seal. When the treasury department found that the bill was being Imitated it changed the soul nnd substituted a larger ono. All those with tbo larger seal can bo rolled upon , but ono had bolter look twice before taking those with the small seal. On the vienotto of Grant in the bogus bill tlio scroll work Is slightly imperfect , although after the paper has become a little worn it Is hard to detect the imperfection. "Tho $10 counterfeit is of the sorlos of 1375 , and is a treasury note. It bears the long 01 double seal , and hns a vignette ol Daniel Webster on the lower loft hand corner , tt is a sDlondid Imitation , and is printed ou an excellent quality of paper.

Ex-Governor Snumiers on the Salt IJTKO City Elections. "Tho result of the election in Utah Tues day , " remarked ex-Governor Alvln Saunders - dors , a member of the Utah commission , yesterday morning , "was gratifying in the extreme , and was an agrcoablo surprise. ] expected that the Gentiles , or the liberal party , ns they are designated , would have shown more strength than they did , but the victory was won Just the samo. The com mission did till it could to secure a fair elec tion , and their efforts were successful. On July SI a proclamation was issued by the body calling for a fair election , and urging that certain measures be adopted , which ] think were faithfully carried out. Amont other things , we recommended that al voters keep at least ono hundred feet awaj from the polls , unless engaged in voting and that all challengers bo soleutod by the loaders of tbo two parties. I think that the commission's advice was strictly adhered to , "The effect of tbo election can not bo but sal utory as far as Utah's Interests are con cerned. The Mormons , who styled themselves solves tha people's party , were opposed tc any internal improvements , such as wntei works , sewerage , etc. , while the liberals , 01 the Gentiles , worn strongly in favor of such , It will result in Salt Lake City becoming the principal point between Denver and San Francisco , nnd will bo the greatest thing foi Utah that over happened , And when the February election comes on I incline to the belief that the matorlty over the Mormon ; will bo oven greater than predicted by .voui correspondent. The Gentiles will be en couraged and will go Into the fight with renewed nowed vigor. It has been ono of the wishes of my life that this result bo achieved , and 1 am more pleased tbun you can imagine. " Piles ! Piles ! Piles !

Zlmmcr'a Failure to Show Economy in thn County Pharmacy. Frank Zlmmcr , tbo county druggist , has prepared n statement of his own which ho asked THE BEE reporter to publish. Ho has conceived the Idea that in showing what an expensive concern the dispensary bas boon , this paper has some personal grievance against him. For this reason , many of his leisure moments for the past four or ilvo days , have been devoted to figuring up and making an Inventory of his stock. According to Mr. Zimmor's statement the dispensary was started January 1 , 1833 , and has bean running r.bout nineteen months. In that time ho says that the bills for drugs actually brought to him were us follows : " The Goodmun Drug company . $3.509.59 J. A. Forsytho 74.25 Searlo & Hereth 40.87 8. P. Morse & Co 10.00 Total : . . $2,040.71 From this he deducts $000 , an estimated cost of the stock now on hand , thus leaving a bal ances of $3,010.71. But Mr. Ziminer does not add to this bis own salary from the county , which has been running at least fifteen mouths and amounts to something likn $1,250. That sum runs the figures up to Jis-MJJ.71. Then to this must bo' added the outlay of $330 a month for three or four physicians and the expense amounts to 0,050.71. This does not include the cost of a number of pro scriptions which are filled on the outside , nnd for which druggists invariably charge the very highest prlco. Zlmmcr says that if the doctors would send all their ardors to him ho could save- the county considerable money. Howsoever it may bo figured , the poor are costing the county for medlcino moro money than a great majority of people think they ought to.

Prank Col- lorn , son of tlio builder of Uio Col loin block and ono of tlio best known young attorneys of this city , has confessed to forging the name of John T. Olnlsdcll , the millionaire pioneer of this city , to notes and other paper footing uu to n total of $227,000. It hns bcon Known for several weeks that somo- llilnR was wrong with his accounts. Ho had been the trusted attorney for Ululsdoll for sovernl years. It Honours that Coltom buRfin his peculiar financial methods un- wardaor a year ngo. Ulnlsdoll lutd every conlldcnco in the young man until n few weeks go. Then his faith wns suddenly shuttered. The sensational story , however , nnvcrcamo to the qnrs of the puhllc until to-day. The wny Utalsdnll cnme to find out ubout the forporics was through a conversa tion with K. A. Chauiburlaln , cashier of tlio Security bank , wlio Informed him that the bnuK was holding a largo amount of Colloui's papur that wns en dorsed by Blulsdell. Tlio result of n hasty Invpsttgntion showed something very wrung. Several brokers and money loaners wcru visited , and n largo amount of fictitious p.iper wns soon discov ered. Within a very short perloil the Im mense sum of $227,000 In notes and ether se curities wns discovered , but to only part of which Uliilsdoll's name was attached. BlaUdoll pronounced all the sienDturcs pur porting to bo his forgeries. Tlio bank and lilntsdoll were equally interested , and a rlu'ld investigation was at 01100 sot on foot. The cntlro matter was put Into the hands of ex- County Attorney Franu R Davis. An ex port examined the signatures attached to the dlfloront notes and securities and pronounced Collom the guilty man. The next move was to confront Attorney Collom with his crlmo. Yesterday the forger was called Into the olllco of Davis and the situation wns put before him without any mincing of words. Hlalsdrll and several of the bank oQleials were present , The young attorney at once broke down and confessed his crime In full. Collom wept blttcrlv nnd bogged his hearers to spare him. Hojwas almost bcsldo himself. It is stated that the money secured from Ulalsdell by Collom was lost entirely In real estate deals. The young man has considerable real estate , which has all been turned over to UlaiadolL. It wns reported shortly before noon that Collom's father and other friends would coma to his assistance. If such proves to bo the case it is probable the matter will bo settled- The Security bans holds but $33,200 of , the forged paper , all of which is amply secured. It appears that Uhiisdoll's was the only name forged , but a number of people are out by reason of their holding forged pauer. The names of those holding spurious paper , nnd the amounts hold byeach , so far as brought to light , areas follows : Daan lirothors , Minneapolis , $18,000 ; H. N.

' r IOWA 1'O'jjfTIOS. The Situation Devfclttnlinr a Curious Stnto or 'Affairs. ' DBS MOINKS , la. , August 7. LSoeciol to Tire BEE. ] The poHtieal ituatlon m Iowa is becoming exceedingly Interesting nnd upon a close examination seemingly develops a curious state of affairs. All Interest , centers in the republican state convention , pot ouly because its nominations are generally equivalent to an election , but also because of the influence it will have oa the selection of Senator Allison's successor. It is generally known that Governor Larra- bee is nioro than willing to occupy that high place ; in fact many of his ardent hut impru dent friends openly assort his candidacy. In the light of facts recently developed many of the "anti-monops" are beginning to nsk themselves if the ambition for promotion has not led Governor Larrabco to abandon those interests of Iowa ho has so long boon supposed - posed to guard. The thrao cornered light for the governorship between Hull , Wheeler and Hutchlnson , together with the fact that the enemies of Senator Allison are calling him a railroad senator , and thus creatinc a preju dice against him , bas placed the governor m a commanding position" and enables him to tnako a strong combination. About two weeks ngo a conference was held with the jrovoroor ut the state capital , in which AVhcclcr and Hutchlnson were to Join forces , Wheeler for governor , Hutchlnson for lieutenant governor. Governor Larrabco was to turn his following to the support of the combination In return for favors to bo hereafter granted. Thostronarthorncoinblnu- tlon of this kind is much greater than ut llrst supposed. Wheeler boini ? a farmer , brings to its support the Farmers' alliance. Hutchlnson , as is well known , bus always been found supporting the railroad interest in the state senate. Ho is now , nnd for several years past bus been , the attorney of record for the Chicago , Burlington & Quincy railroad in his homo county at Ottumwa , and so is ex pected to secure their influence to aid the combination. Although not generally known or understood , the position oflieutenant gov ernor is by tar the most to the railroads , since the railroad .commissioners were mudo elective. The part Governor Larrnboo is to play in this is not so easily discerned. In spite of the fjct that ho has openly declared that ho is not a candidate for rcnomlnation , and if nominated would not accept , his friends are in the majority in many of the county delegations already chosou nnd In structed for Wheolcr or unlnstructod , whllo Cass county has openly instructed its dole- Kates to vote for him. H therefore appears OA if ho would like to receive the Indorse ment of the convoution , thud making it look as if he was "called by the people , " so that candidates for the legislature would ba influ enced to support him for United States sen ator , through fears of a defeat by the people themselves. Then by throwing bis strength to the combination , ho would bo able to se cure the old of the rajlrpad interests , who , contrary to the general bollof. are not very strongly in favor of SoiMtor Allison. For the Rratiilcatlon of in personal ambi tion , Mr. Wheeler seems willing to betray his friends , the Farmers' ulllanco ; while for the sumo reason it looks rife If Governor Lar- rnbco is willing to go bnck'on ' the record ho has already made , andc 'allows ' himself to bo bought oft by the rallroaiJointerosts. The anti-railroad cloinont is viewing the situation with conslduniblu anxiety and is wondering if Its most radical friends are not , after all , its worst enemies ! - * -tA - nil's A i'0f mu.vron.

AV1NDOM SMILES Perfectly SnttslU-U With the Black Diamond Seizure. Nnw YonK , Aueust 7. [ Special Telegram to TUB BBB. | Secretory of the Treasury Wil liam Windom was ono of tbo presidential party that arrived In the city yesterday after noon , took n trip down the bay and boarded the Fall River steamer Pilgrim on the way to Bar Harbor , whcro they are to bo tbo guests of Secretary James G. Hlaino. Sec retary Windom was in a genial mood when approached by a reporter. The cares of the treasury portfolio were carried easily nnd gracefully by him , and his serenity was not disturbed by the Black Diamond seizure episode in Bohring soa. He smiled whoa questioned m regard to that affair. "Thore Is really no now phase of the matter , " he said. "Tho telegraphic report of the seizure of the nenl-ilshtng ves sel by Captain Sbophard of the revenue cut ter Rush , has been published , a nd beyond that tbo government has received nothing oflloml. It will take some time for the de tailed report , which Is now on the way from Alaska , to reach Washington. No letters have passed between the United States and England on the subject , but the affair doubt less will bo the cause of considerable diplo matic correspondence. "Is there likely to bo nny International difficulty arising out of this seizure ? " was asked. "Oh , no ; no , not at all , " said ths secretary positively. "It is not of enoueh importance , and all differences can bo settled peacefully. Undoubtedly sharper or hot sh measures , such us the seizure , irri tates or augers for the moment , but it also serves to bring disputed qucstious to a speedy Issue nnd hastens their settlement. " Secretary Windom was not disposed to go into particulars about the seizure , preferring to wait for further information , but he lott the impression that ho believes the action of Captain Shcpard to bavo been entirely proper and approved by the administration , and that the only course for the United States to follow wns the capture of unlicensed steamers in our northsrn waters. The threats nnd blusters of Canada do not amount to nn.vthing , ho thinks , and nro not regarded by either the state or the treasury depart ment. The laws of the country and the president's proclamation of March Si , re garding the seal fisheries , would bo carried out in spite of Canada's resistance. The secretary was amused at the suggestion that Bar Harbor was not far from the Canadian , coast and that our angry neighbors might swoop down on the plnco nnd carry off the president and hta cabinet as a means of re prisal for tbo seal ship seizure. Captain Bhopard's Itnport Received. WASHINGTON , August 7.

"WORD. ho Canadian Ofllclals Silent on the Sulcot . | of Seizures. OTTAWA , Ont. , August 7. [ Special Tel- esrrain to TUB BEE. ] Tbo Behring sea seizures were again considered by the cabinet and the papers in connec tion with the seizure of the Black Diamond as far at received were forwarded to the governor general at Quobec. The deputy minister of tbo fisheries looks upon the recent seizures as one of the best stops that could bo taken to protect the great senl fisheries on Bohring sea from becoming en tirely depleted. The whole world , ho says , has an interest In their preservation and the maritime powers of the world , ho bollovos , will unite In protecting thoin from the on slaught and wanton destruction which hns been mndo among young seals in recent years. H is now sntd on reliable authority . that this government has bcon enjoined to silence by the British government , which ac counts for the rctleonce of the members of the cabinet. The owners of Canadian sealing schooners , when starting out on their trips to Bohring sea this season , were told by the authorities at Ottawa that they did so entirely on their own responsibility and must abldo by the consequences If solzuro followed. The Do minion government could afford thorn no physical protection , and if they got into trouble no assurance could bo given that they would bo indemnified for any loss. In fact , tha twncrs of these Canadian sealing vessels were rather discouraged and advised not to embark in Bobrlng sea fisheries until the matter was definitely settled , ALLi HARMONIOUS.
