llcpuhllcnn Contra ! Commit too'
Something at apolitical gnthorlDg mudo
lively the Mlllord oflloo ana corridors last
evening , the occasion bolnea mooting ot the
republican suto central committee. 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.

Tens and Fives of n Spurious diame
ter Untoro.
"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. The back is es
pecially good , and about thn onlv difference
there Is bntwoon'll and the ordinary bill ia
in the signatures. I got moro of those than
any othor. It Is but a short time since they
have become very common , and the best
business men in the city have boon deceived
by them. 1 understand that the government
is making a strenuous effort to apprehend
the guilty parties. "

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. "

Mabol , the four-year-old daughter of D. V ,

Shales , at 1120 Georgia avenue , utlOn. m. yes
terday. As the child hnd died of malignant
diphtheria the remains were embalmed nnd
the physician In charge thought there was
no danger of contagion. A largo number of
citizens , among whom were several members

AUGUING FOR A. UEUTH.
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.
Sheriff Coburn says that ho never know
until TUB BUB infnrtncd him that there was
sickness among the prisoners In the Jail re
quiring them to bavo medical attendance ,
and hns not been able to find It out sinco.

CoJtom's GlRnmlo Steal.
MINNEAPOLIS , AURUSI 7 , S. 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. Peck ,
Minneapolis , $18,500 ; E.-WJ Peot , St. Paul ,
$3,000 ; Frank Uupert , Minneapolis , ? 13,500 ;
Eustis Brothers , Minneapolis , $19,000 ; Julius
Schutt , Minneapolis , § 3UOOOj total , $102,000.
The gentlemen nnd llrms mentioned are
nearly all encaged in the-real ostute and
money loaning business. . . Just what action
they will take to recover- their losses could
not oe learned. ' r

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 !

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. The report of
Captain Sbopard , commanding the revenue
cutter Rush , In regard to the seizure of the
British sealer Black Diamond , which was
mailed at San Francisco , has been received
at the treasury department. Acting Secre
tary Batchollor refuses positively to give it
to the press , but admits that it contlruib sub
stantially the newspaper reports concerning
the seizure.
NOT SAYING A. "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 ,
