Lt.vcot.v , Neb. , April 10. [ 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.

"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. "

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.

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.

charged that there was nothing to lead them
to belluvo that thu lad Intended murder , ami
so intentionally omitted the word "felonious"

THE RYAN & WALSH INVESTIGATION ,
The CominlHslonerfl ns Usual Pro-
ura.stliintc , Home Favoring Pro-

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. Hoyden , anil that
ho liacf nutrrli'il somnonu In llulluvnc. 111. , In
December or January and had assumed the
name of U. M. Hoyden In doing so , hut at. I
heard from him regularly twlco u week , and
during January and December ho was In Ni > -
linibku , 1 don't think It ran be | xisillile. 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

Admns. f.1. " 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

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 :

Bcstiio Miller lives in Curomlulct , Mo.
She WHS tnkon with pneumonia and was
awful sick , says the Detroit Journal.
Delirium sot in , and tlio bunion of the
girl's cry was for ' ' .101111 , " that boin ; ? tlio
Hurnamo of the younjr man who had been
keeping company with her- for Kovoral
months. The mother telegraphed for
the father that their darling daughter
was dying. In the meantime John was
bent for , and on his arrival the lacer
ated lungs scorned to heal up as
though manipulated by a faith-cu'rist.
Her dolirhnn passed uvrur like mibt hc-
fore the morning sun , unit hlio was bright
and chipper ns a lark. John remained
at her side all day , and on leaving in
the evening promised to return next
morning. Being out of a job it was an
easy thing for him to do , and that second
end clay'a companionship entirely cured
the girl. She is now in perfect health ,
and the wedding cards have been scut
out. Bessie's father , who paid good
money to go homo , hasn't fathomed the
mystery yet , but when ho hears the
story ho winks slyly , to himself.
Novel Itupid Transit.
Two German engineers propose rapid
transit by means of three continuous
platforms moving ijlong the streets nido
by hide. The lowe U.of these platforms
is four inches high , mid moves at a uni
form speed of 11 vo ( uof. . per second , Buys
the Now York Sun. Any ordinary pedestrian -
dostrian can , they wtuto , mount this pint-
form without dillicmty , and from this ho
can , with equal oase'j slop on a second
platform four inolibs higher than the
Unit , and moving' twice as fast. The
passenger thus ric6uiros u speed of ton
foot per second , tmd , stopping on the
third platform in the same way , ho is
carried ut the spml'of fifteen foot tier
t-ccond , or ton njjfys per hour , to his
destination , where , ho stops off by do-
grces as ho got on.
