[ Special Tele- firam to TUB Br.K.i The convention of the non-partisan prohibitory amendment league was Killed to order by President C. A. Atkin son nt ! ! : ! # ) o'cloclcthls afternoon. Hohntmn's ball , however , put on no auch appearance as it did at the initial sen-Ices of the late third party convention. Not more than one hun dred and fifty delegates were In attendance ami the majority of them were from Lincoln nnd Lancaster counties. Hev. J. N. Prcsson of Peru pronounced the Invocation. Ho was earnest nnd impressive. At its conclu sion , ut the suggestion of the chair , the wll for the convention was read. It cites the object of the convention to be the devl.ilng of means for the suppression of the liquor tnvflU : throughout the state. Atkinson made n vigorous speech. He pro voked the usual applause and enthusiasm. He expressed the opinion that the amend- incut for constitutional prohibition would carry. Ho dwelt on the iiroimsltlon. "prohibition does not prohibit , " and to D give his arguments weight ho read from the Western Brewer , u paper published in Chicago In the interestof the Brewers' association. Concluding ho said that during the campaign in Iowa that state had for heir motto , "A school house on every hilltop and no saloon in the valley , " hut that 1m desired to change It for the campaign In this stain to "A school house on every hilltop and In every valley nnd no sttloonnnywhoro.1 Calling for the further pleasure of the con vention the Wesleynn Glee club was called for and sang n spirited campaign song. J. II. I'reason of Ncmaha , J. II. Masters of Otoe , L. II. Hogers of Dodge , A. Abbott of Uaco and U. H. Kamlall of Lancaster were appointed the committee on credentials , mid H. C. Harmon of York , II. II. Wilson of Lan caster , K. O. Kretlngcrof Gage , E. L. Flick of Cheyenne and Judge Abbott of Saline the committee on resolutions. It. was the sense of the house that all reso lutions , after being read , should bo submitted to the committee without debate. Pending the report of the committees speech making was indulged In nnd the sev eral speakers awakened the echoes with laughter nnd encores , nnd it can bo .said , al though the convention is not large , it is de cidedly enthusiastic. Dr. Hutchins of DCS Molncs , la. , delivered the address of the evening. Hu is something Of mi orator , drew a largo house and enter tained it in a very happy manner. A rOI.ITII'lAN OX I'OMTICS. "Prohibition is a cooked goose in the north west p.irt of the state1 said a prominent pol itician of that section lo Tim BKK represent ative today , "but If th election hud been held .six months or a year ago it would have earned and prohibition would huvo been grafted into the organic law of the state. Political prohibitionists have lost , their hold up there , owing to the Farmers' alliance en grossing the attention of the i > cople , who. happily , nit ) thinking for themselves , und wwill vote their unbiased sentiments. The ICSSOIIH learned in Iowa and Kansas have not gone for naught , and the .situation is moro clearly understood than agitators dare con fess "I want to sny , too , that state jioHtlcs is n very uncertain < iumtity : with us. The boys uro all on the fence waiting for a Moses to lead them out of the wilderness. Ono day it is Hirlmrds for governor and the next it is .somebody else. Thayer and Loose uro both talked , but you mark my words , the next governor of Nebraska has not yet boon named. Jack McCall , while not a candidate , would make a very accept.ibln governor to our people. Congressional matters promise to IK < oven moro trouble-some thanstuto. Dor- soy cannot hope for the nomination. He will have .strong opposition in Cady and ICinkaid. I understand , too , that Meiklcjohn bus aspira tions. He has a good many friends In our part of tin * state. "The Farmers' alliance organizations are multiplying very rapidly. They are very nu merous in Dawes , Box Butte and Sheridan counties , and have a foothold In Cheyenne , Cherry , Grant , Deuel , Sioux and Banner , I take it , the alliance will bo an important fac tor in shaping the political alTairs of the state.

" At S : : il ) o'clock the delegation marched to the state house und called on the governor. The mayor paid him a Haltering tribute in a few timely remarks. The jvsponso was made In the governor's happiest vein and provoked a ringing cheer from his visitors. It is patent that Governor Thnyor has a deep hold on the ulTectlons of his old neighbors and friends , nnd that they stand by htm In social as well as political life. Ho accom- IMiilod the p.trty to Grand Island , where , on arrival , them will bo a grand demonstration In honor of the arrival of the machinery and the nourly completed sugar boot factory la which thu citizens of the city and contiguous country take such a Just degree of pride.

Tlio lUtinn-ICiiowICH CUNO Itcuclvcs a Thorough Airing. The Knowles adultery case was nlrcd in the police court yesterday afternoon hi nil Its lux uriant salaclousness. There was a largo at tendance of young lawyers Inside the railing Interested in the legal intricacies expected to bu developed. There was also a continuous procession from ono door to another of miscel laneous personages who didn't euro anything about police.affairs anyhow , but casually stopped to hear what was going on. Jack Knowle.s took the stand , and carefully , deliberately , elaborately , without the omission of thu minutest detail , unfolded the tale of what ho saw through the window shutter. The story would not make nice reading , but it was a sweet morsel to the blear-oyed , neck- craning medley which hung breathless over the Iron ratling around the lawyers. Ho had been at that window for n purpose , nnd no detail In word or action of the Interview was lost. The talk between the two began with the statement by Mr. Muun to Mrs. Knowles that the lawyer in charge of her divorce suit was not attending to it properly , and an inti mation on his part that If she really wanted "a thoroughbred" he was available. From this it drifted along till the gallant attorney was moved to remark : "I'm your darling , you're my duck , " and un adjournment was had to the next room. AVhen the witness hud seen all he wanted ho walked In and confis cated Mr. Munn's wearing apparel. Mr. Davis , a neighbor of Mr. Knowles , corroborate" ! his testimony , for he said he saw it all. Then Mr. Munn took the stand nnd swore that It was all a lie. Ho was in thu house on legal business , took two drinks and his hat and started to go out and fell Into the hull and passed into inebriated obllviousness. The last thing he remembered wits the remark from the lady , "Mr. Munn , you're drunk , take a sleep. " AVhen he awoke there were two men in the room and his clothes were gone. Then ho arrayed himHeJf in borrowed iinery und was arrested , but ho solemnly as- servated that he never even touched the lady's clothing nor the palm of her hand. Mrs. Knowles corroborated the testimony of the last witness as to the effect of Mr. Milan's drinks ; said that when ho fell she told him to go into her ii > om nnd sleep It olt white she went to n neighbor's , Mrs. Mc- Cluro's. Shu had n couple of drinks witti Mr. Munn , but asserted with great solemnity that she was us pure and chaste as the driven snow. The two officers who made the arrest were then called ami testified on the contrary that the lawyer when arrested was in abbrievated clothing and a painful state of sobriety. The ease will bo argued on Saturday. soi-rn oji.in.1 .VIMS. .loliu Mni-i-ieil tlio Girl. About a month ago Anna Caldwcll secured a warrant for the arrest of John Suyder on tlio charge of seduction. The papers were placed in Officer Moso Hedmotid's bauds , but Snyder heard of it and skipped to Kansas City. Hu returned to South Omaha a few days ago mid went to work in Hammond's packing1 house. Anna heard of it and ac companied by Officer Hedmond went to the plncu Tuesday and convinced the young man that mi iuiiiiediato marriage ceremony wus the only way to escape prosecution , John agreed to marry and Judge King tied the nuptial knot in thu policu court room Tues day afternoon. Both thu parties have been constant at tendants tit the Sunday dances held in South Omaha beer halls. K < 1 JolniMloiiViiH Mail. Councilmen Ed Johnston was in an angry frame of mind yesterday , on un account of an arrest inudu by Officer Hughes Tuesday afternoon. Kllhu Dorsoy is a colored boy whose mother resides near Mr. Johnston's homo. Mrs. Dorsoy and her boy do consider able work around the councilman's house , nnd are respectable people. Officer Hughes arrested the lad as a suspicious character. Ho wus immediately released by Chief Mu- loney. Yesterday Mr. 'Johnston was at the po lice court and demanded to know by what right innocent people are arrested as suspi cious characters , while men of unsavory rep utation and known lack of employment nro allowed to hang around the saloons , Ho re ceived but little satisfaction , but promises to make it warm.for somebody. Tlio Inconsistency of Things. Frank Hurdy , u young gentleman from Omaha , was fined $1 and costs yesterday for trotting his horse across the L street via duct. He pleaded guilty , but the court , offi cers und everybody else acknowledged the absence ot signs on the viaduct to warn trav elers against violating the city ordinance. An Inconsistent ordinance is the onu apply ing to the L street viaduct. Fast driving is prohibited on that structure and police offi cers uro stationed there to prevent It while there is no ordinance at all applying to the Q street structure. A'ehlcles uro driven across the latter at a faster rate of speed than on mother earth and nothing is done about it. The lack of care displayed about the future of the Q street viaduct indicates u desire to wear it out us soon us possible. Verdict In tlio Kliriiinek Ca.se. At ! ! o'clock yesterday afternoon Coroner Ilarrigan empaneled n jury to hold nn Inquest on thu body of Fred Uudznwelt , who wus stabbed Tuesday even lac by young Anton Shramok nt the Armour-Cudahv packing house. After hearing ull the testimony the jury returned a verdict that "tho deceased camn to his death from knife wounds in the hands of Anton Shrnmck. " Members of thu jury expressed themselves after being dis charged that there was nothing to lead them to belluvo that thu lad Intended murder , ami so intentionally omitted the word "felonious" from thu finding.

THE RYAN & WALSH INVESTIGATION , The CominlHslonerfl ns Usual Pro- ura.stliintc , Home Favoring Pro- niul Otliern Holding Hnuk I'or Various JlcnsoiiH. On Aprils tlio committee on constnictlou of the county board tmulcn report ngnfiiig to arbitrate the bill of fcjO.WK ) presented by Kyun & Walsh for extras. At tlio lust meeting of the botml that notion was i-cconsldureilund the reiwrt wits rejected. Then on motion of O'KeoJTe , the committee on const ruction was Instructed to meet at 10 o'clock yesterday morning to hear what Kynn & Wulsh had to say. At the hour named Commissioners O'lCccffe ami Turner were the only members of the board present. "I have verv grave doubts , " remarked Mr. O'Kceffe , "whether cither of the gentlemen whom wo are hero to moot will show his face. It doesn't show verv much determina tion on their part to push their claim the way in which they arc monkey ing around. If they hud any certain faith in the legally of that bill of * .V,000 ) do you know what they would do or at least what I would i After the board showed tlio disposition on the matter this board hits I wouldn't hcsitutc u moment to begin suit for the inonev , and no other man or men would that had sitnou pure , genuine faith in their claims. " Then In strutted the senior member of the firm of Allen Bros. , the sub-contractors for plastering. Mr. O'Ifceffe asked him if ho had seen either Uyan or Walsh. Mr. Allen replied that ho had met them Tuesdav and they said thev would be around und tell the board they had decided to sue for their money. At'M ( ) ; Chairman Anderson appeared and remarked that he didn't believe in "rushing this thing. " As the "defendants" had failed to show up this time he believed in postpon ing the engagement. "What's the use in postponing n straight and urgent business engagement like this ! " UHkmlMr. O'ICeefe. "For the reason that we'll get Into trouble If wo rush it , " answered the chairman. "You talk foolish and I was going to say babyish , " retorted Itichard. "I'm afraid of getting into no trouble and don't you forget it either. " ' " ' " said Ander "rime will prove I'm right , son. son."Just ns it hasn't done in the past , " con cluded O'Keeffe. At this point Ed Walsh came in and was greeted with a very big smjlc and ono of Tur ner's copyrighted und inimitable laughs. Be ing asked by a reporter what ho was going to do about it. Mr. Walsh said lie did not pro pose to bother uuy longer with Intermediate steps hut simply awslit the board's final action and then am > cal to the court. At 11 o'clock Commissioner Berlin and Mr. Ryun came , and Chairman O'ICeeffo called the meeting to order and asked if the lirm of Kynn fe Walsh had anything to say. Mr. AN alsh got up and said he was very much sur prised at being called to meet the board. lie didn't consider it would lie policy for his firm to come up with expert testimony , ns ho had no confidence that the board would stand by such testimony. The board had asked him to certify to the extras , and ho said his lirm had done so. There was one ether matter lie would like to speak to the board about , and that was the original contract. Ho wanted the board to act on the matter of cleaning it up immediately , as they needed the money to pay employes. In reply Chairman O'lvceffe said he thought there would bo little delay as to the original contract settlement. Mr. Walsh stated that the contract had been fully and entirely completed , and he was eoutldent that the board would not bo doing anything amiss to give his firm the money due. due.Mr. . Anderson said that Superintendent Coots , not yet released on his bond though not on salary , had stated that the building was not completed. "Therefore , " continued Mr. Anderson , "I believe in holding on to the remaining 10 per cent on the contract until Mr. Coots states to the board that the work is completed. More than this , Uyan & Walsh told mo onlv a few days ago that there was a lot of grading out there that hadn't been done or Jinishod yet. I would like to ask the chairman of this com mittee If that grading was not included in the in that contract. " "Fifteen hundred dollars of it was , " an swered Mr. O'Keoffc. " "Very well , " continued Mr. Anderson. "If $1,500 of it was in that contract , wasn't all of Iti I should say so. " "I told you there would be about this someday , " said O'lveeffein his genialprofane way. "And I told you afterward that wo had our eyes shut , some of us. " "I don't remember your telling me that , " said Anderson. "No , if you seem to remember much of anything. The fact Is that the commissioners nowadays don't know what they nro doing any of the time at all. I'll go further , " continued O'Keoffo vehemently , "and I'll say that I know there's a black sheep , u thief on this board today. But there's only one , though there used to bo two or three. To get back to the question again , Mr. Anderson , I want to tell you that you can't hold bondsmen on that grading item. " Mr. Walsh then asked If Superintendent Coots pointed out uncompleted points In the contract , and Ityuu & Walsh went ahead and completed the contract whether the board would pay the balance. Mr. Anderson replied that "tho thing" had come to the point where it would all have to bo gone over by the board and every item of work hunted up. "What you're talking about don't amount to a row of pins , " O'ICectTe proclaimed. "Well , what would you do about Itf" said Anderson. "I'm in favor , if they finish up their con- tr.ictof paying them the lust penny due on the contract. If you're going to stand on techni calities instead of going along by horse sense , then wo uro putting our foot deeper into this thing every time wo meet. " It was finally decided to have the superin- teiidunt make u final estimate on the original contract and to state to the board how much it wilt .co.it , if anything , to complete the building according to contract , und report on Saturday. The committee on construction will meet Messrs. Coots ami Slmne , the present und ex- superintendent , at 10 o'clock this mom- ing , for thu purpose of considering the bill of extras. Commissioner Anderson stated that ho had received u letter from Mrs. II. C. Adams of ia ! Taylor street , San Francisco , inquiring about her husband. Adams is the man who died tit St. Joseph's hospital after a short ill ness and was given to u local medical insti tute for dissection. It was stated at the time that the man was unknown and had no rela tives. The letter from Mrs. Adams was as fol lows : Dear Sfr My husband , II. P. Adaw , illrtl at BtsJoiupliV , hospital In yourelly on the Kith of last Kulmiary , and HUH burled ( us 1 aia In formed by both the chief of pollco and the tin- dnrliki > rs , lieu fey & lloafey , ) at Forest Iawn vi'iuutt'ry. 1 wrolito the superintendent of thoecmo- trry and he refers mo to you , as ho < | | M-OVITS by looking over tliu books that my husband hits not lii'im burled there ut all. In the letter 1 ivci'lvt-d from Mr. Seavoy , thn chief of police , ho said that my hnslmml had Ktmu by the name of It. M.

If you oun M.'iiil me any pnillciilurs ut to whore ho If burled , etc. , I shull ffcl truly grateful to you. The letter was written on black-bordered paper and wits the nnnilstukablu production of a lady. The handwriting was exception ally good mid there was every Indication that thu letter was that of a person of refine ment. Mr. Anderson also had a copy of a death certificate- which it was stated that Adams Imd died In St. Joseph's hospital of pneu monia , after an illness of thrco days. His occupation wits stated us "luborer" and the certificate was signed by Dr. ( JixHstimu. At the bottom of this certificate wus another stating that the body had been burled In for ts t Lawn cemetery. This part of the certifi cate was signed by Heafey & Heafoy. The eertifieattt was sent to the commissioners from the board of health , and on thu buck was written , "It la rumored that this man Instead of bomg burl ) In Forest Lnwn WHS interred in tlio OmnHIMicdlcal college , " A bill WIM found \ vblh bore diito of March II.

" The bljUiiul been allowed nnd paid out of the goncrm ttind. The entire inntter vMis referred to the ju diciary committee , Chairman Anderson stat ing that there was n Jlne point Involved In the cine. He suld It was u strange tiling that a man should lw deelnrWl a pauper and given to a medical college fur tllsscctlou because ho happened to bo takciitslck In a stranpo city aim be curried to a hcwjSlUil to die before hp could tell who ho w h 'or where hU friends could be found. Ho lwUKhUhccoiintvinlpht bu held Ihiblo for tibwinpr the body to betaken taken for medical liivoMigiitloti on the suppo sition that It was that/of a pauper , The fact that the man's wlfo had been communicated with would Indicate that some ono hud known who ho was. C A number of flrc Insurance policies for the now hospital building were presented. It ap peared that the rate charged wasJI.Nl As the rate proposed at the outset was f l.W ) for ilvoycurs the mutter wus i-eferred back to the Judiciary committee. The proposition , as mndc by tholnsuninceagents ut the beginning , contained n co-insuranco clause , but this did not suit the commissioners and they Insisted on having the clause omitted , The rate wus therefore raised to # 1.8(1 ( for live yours , which the board considers too high. The committee ou construction recom mended that Mr. J. F. CooU be instructed to furnish the board with tlnul estimates of Uyaii & Walsh on the hospital contract , nnd also n statement showing what items , If any , aits not completed ns per plans and specifica tions and the probable cost of the same. The report wus adopted. Hor.ifimt's Add IMiosplmtc. Beware of imitations. There are two very striking characters de lineated by Shakespeare Macbeth'and Uich- ard III. The parts which these two persons sustain In their respective dramas have a re markable coincidence. Both arc actuated by the same guilty ambition ; both murder their lawful sovereign , and both arc defeated and slain in battle. Contemplate them in the premeditations of their crime , the iiorpctni- tion of it , and the catastrophe of their death , and it will bo seen that these two characters are as strongly distinguished in every pits- sage of their dramatic life as an ) ' two men ever were by the hand of nature. Richard is doubtless the most strikingly dramatic , and oilers greater scope for the actor than Macbeth. Ferociousness and. hypocrisy nro his prevailing characteristics , yet nothing can bo more brilliant , artistically speaking , than the cruel conduct of this bloody villain. To impersonate him on the stage is the ambi tion ot every tragedian. Whew many have attempted this tusk only a very few ever achieved .success. Among the triumphant stars it can be said that none give n more pleasing- presentation of their part than Frederick Wardo , who was seen in it for the first time by an Omaha audience at .Boyd's opera house last night. His conception is a good one mid he enacts it so forcibly , so ear nestly , so feelingly as to leave an auditor seriously doubting whether he does not come nearer being the ideal Hlchard than any other actor of our day. Ho lacks the terrible facial ' expression thn't distinguished Ton ; Keene , but lias a better delivery , reads the lilies more Intelligently and Is superior in the power and smoothness of his action. His conduct in the tent scene and on the battle field was strong evidence of the sublime strokes of a master. The audience caught "every passage and vig orously applauded Mr. Wurde's efforts. The Central hulior Union's Hall. The members of Ihe Central labor union may well fcol proud df the immense success of their second annual ball , which took place hist night. Washington hall was packed with pretty women and their husbands and escorts. Financially , the affair was a Haltering .suc cess , and socially it was beyond the expecta tions of those most interested. One of the principal features of the ball was the music. The Musical Union band contributed its services gratuitously and under the leadership of Harry Irvine ren dered excellent music- The polka , "Where Did You Get That Hat ? " arranged by Irvine for the occasion , mad < * a groat1 bit , as did the polka , "The Jolly .Blacksmith , " which was heartily applauded. In the latter piece the members of the orchestra do more or less singing. At midnight Mr. Danbaum of the Phila delphia chop house served a spread for 150 couples , and tifter the luncheon the Omaha Mutual Musical 1'rotoetlve union orchestra occupied the stage and rendered music that was greatly appreciated bv the dancers. It was far superior towhut the participants had heard from this orchestra in the past , and earned several encores. There were twenty- six pieces in the band. William Matthews prompted in his usual excellent manner. William Souring acted us master of ceremonies and was ) assisted by the following committees : Arrangements George Willard , Julius Mover , William Scbriug , C. L. Newstrora , Jolin Schupp , H. H.
