The Independent district Judicial convon
tlon mot yesterday afternoon at Gate City
hall , Allen Hoot was elected chairman and
S. P. BrlKbam was elected secretary.
After omo preliminary discussion , a recess -
cess of ten minutes was taken for the pur
pose of caucusing upon tbo candidate * .
During the caucus Mr. Brlgham of South
Omaha mode qulto a speech , In which ho
hold that the convention should nomlnato a
clear cut Independent ticket , absolutely free
from all alliances with the two old partlei.
He referred to the appointment of the four
district Judges last spring a * being on exhi
bition of hoRglshnoss on trio part of tbo two
old parties , and ho thought that the Inde
pendents should cut looao from both the
democratic and republican parties. Mr.
Brhrham declared that the old parties were
laying plans to Join hands and defeat Kdgcr-
ton , and that both the loading newspapers of
Omaha , representing the two old parties ,
had been urging such ncourso. Ho therefore
urged a straight-out action on the .part of
the convention.
Whcutho convontlon was again called to
order tha chairman , Allen Hoot , made a
ipooch that teemed to strlko a responsive
chord In the minds of most of the delegates.
"We have not tbo material In our party , "
laid Mr. Hoot , "to HU all these positions on
tbo bench , Lot us take good men who lean
toward us , who have proven themselves to
bo honest and upright In their dealings with
the peopleWo are a young party and It
would bo folly for us to nomlnato men who
would cause ua to blush afterwards. "
Mr. N. O. Strlcklor spoke earnestly In-tho
game strain. Ho believed In nominating
good , strong lawyers , men of Integrity and
ability , who would bo n credit to the conven
tion nominating them. His remarks wcro
greeted by applause.
Mr. Jolfcoat then moved that the conven
tion proceed to take an Informal ballot for
the purpose of bringing out the candidates.
The representation for tbo four counties
was as follows : Burt county , eleven dolo-
Itates ; Douglas county , twelve delegates ;
Sarpr county , three delegates and Washing
ton county , sovcu delegates. All the coun
ties excepting Burt were represented.
The informal ballot showed that the fol
lowing gentlouion hud supporters In the con
vention : Lee S. Estelle , II. J. Davis , A. M.
Ferguson , T. B. Mlnahan , L. W. Osborno ,
George Magnoy , Frank Irvine , E. Wakoloy ,
O. W. Covoll , H. M. Hopcwoll and J. K.
Clarkson. The seven highest stood as fol
lows : Estollo , 14 votes ; 'Davis , 14 ; Fergu-
con , 14 : Mlnahan , 13 ; Magnoy , 10 ; Osborno ,
18 ; Irvine , 14.
The formal nominations were then taken
up ono at a time.
Mr. L. W. Osborno of Blair was first
placed In nomination nnd received the unan
imous Indorsement of the convention. T , B.
Mlnahan of Omaha was also nominated by
tbo unanimous vote of the convention. Judge
Lee Kstollo was next nominated aud taou A.
M. Forguson.
. Tha Ilfth nomination was that of George
A. Magooy. Ho received the hearty support
of K. M. Carpenter und Charles Novvns of
Sarpy county. In fact Mr. Magnoy was the
bnrpy county nominee.
Mr. V. O. Stickler made a strong speech , In
which ho said that while Mr. Magnoy was n
personal friend of his aud ho was in favor of
recognizing the volco of Sarpy county Ir. the
nomination of ono of tbo candidates , yat ho
believed that a stronger man for the ticket
could bo selected. Ho thought if the Sarpy
county delegates wished lo nomlnato a Doug
las county manthoy should taka some ono
who wns known ID the county. He hold that
21aguoy was practically unknown.
H. M. Carpenter , president of the Sarpy
couutv alliance , becaino very indignant at
Mr. Strlckler's remarks. He thought that
Douglas county had no right to deny Sarpy
county tbo privilege of nominating a man
that would bo acceptable to the people of
that county. Mr. Carpenter charged that
Douglas county bad always triad to bullyrag
Sarpv county in conventions , and with the
assistance of the Union Pnclllo had cheated
Sarpy county out of everything that was
worth mentioning.
Mr. Strlculcr resented the Idea that ho had
nny interest whatever In common with the
Union I'aciflc. Mr. StrlcKlor Ihoc. nominated
Judge II. J. Dayls.
i . Both names were vntoa for , Magney re
ceiving H votes and Davis 10 votes. Mag
ooy was declared the Ilfth nomlnoo of the
convention. ,
Mr. Davis was again brought before tbo
convention by Mr. Strieklor and was unani
mously endorsed as the sixth uomlnoo.
Tboro was some talk at this juncture of
leaving ono vacancy to bo llllod by Burt
county , but tbo sentiment of this convention
was In favor of proceeding with the nomln-
atton of the seventh candidate. The name *
- \ of Frank Irvluo and K Wakeloy were
) fuggottcd.
Mr. Hoot snld : "Gentlemen , I have just
this to say about the nomination of Judge
Wakoloy. Ho stands In n position to bo
selected by the democrats and republicans as
a compromise candidate to defeat Judge
Edgorton for the supreme court. Wo cannot
afford to run such a risk. To nomlnato Judge
Wakeloy today might urge on this fusion of
the two old partio3 , and it would draw the
flro out of our ticket. "
Frank. Irvine was nominated a * seventh
candidate and then all the nominations were
tnado unanimous.
Thn following gentlemen wcro solcctod as a
Judicial central committee : Douglas county
D. C. Doaiior and J , H. Tavlor ; Surpy
Charles Nownos : Burt William Borrv
Washington J. C. Wright. The commltt o
was instructed to 1111 all vacancies that may
take place on the ticket.
After the convention adjourned tbo county
central committee mot and elected an execu
tive committee composed of V. O. Strlcklor ,
James Kttinoy , A. Miller , S. D , Hynoarson
nnd J , 1C. McCombor.
The county convention will bo held on Sat-
Mrdny. September 12. The primaries will bo
held September 10 ,
Tha central commttteo passed a resolution
tubing Mr. Strlcklor to prepare a careful ox *
planntfon of tha Australian ballot law to bo
published In the newspapers of the atuto.
Tndjjo M'nkoloy Not n Candidate.
"In tonight's BKE , " said Mr. V. O. Strlok-
lor , "I am quoted as saying that Judge
eioy was n candidate for the supreme
bench , nnd , for that reason , It was unwlso
for the Independents to place him upon their
ticket. This It n mistake. I nt no tuna snld
that he was n candidate for the supreme
bench. A reporter forTiiK BKK prior to the
mooting of the convention handed mo a list
of names of the probable nominees , and I remarked -
marked that I thought there was souio doubt
about Judge Wokeloy's nomination , owing
to the fact that ho had been mentioned In
connection with the supreme Judiroshlp. Aa
a matter of fact I Know that Judge wukoloy
Is not n candidate for the position. "

The coming annual conference of the
Methodist church to bo hold m this city the
second WOOK In September suggests a fore
cast of the probable changes , if any , that
may take place In the personnel of the Meth
odist clergy In Omaha.
The congregation of the First Methodist
church has requested the return of Hov. P.
S. Merrill for another year , and ho will un
doubtedly romaln.
Kov. G. M. Brown of the Ilanscom Park
church will romaln another year.
Kov. Craiio of the Sownrd street church ,
Uov. Beans of Trinity and Hov. Webster of
the Walnut Hill church will In all probability
bo returned to their present charges.
Kov , Allen of thti Castollar Strout church
and Kov Bross of Monmouth Park will also
bo returned according to the present scho-
dulo.
dulo.Kov.
Kov. Hodgotts of the South Tenth Street
church will probably go to Now Mexico to
tulcu charge of the missions thoro.
In all probability the Newman Methodist
church will bo closed and abandoned and
Hov. Ware will bo assigned to some other
charge in tbo conference. This has boon an
unfortunate nnd unsuccessful church enter
prise from tbo beginning nnd the prominent
members ol the congregation have about con
cluded that the burden had bettor bo laid
down and the membership united with otbor
churches where they can assist. In building
up the churches that have a bettor chnnco.
to cope with the financial burdens that must
bo berne by all church organizations. Kov ]
Ware has uouo excellent work sluco ho tooK
hold of the charge at the Newman church ,
but the membership Is small and the finan
cial burden very heavy , The property will
probably bo xold b.iok to the parties from
whom It was purchased.
ThoJowish Congregational of Isranl has
decided not to build u now temple at present
on Harnoy street as was contemplated early
in tbo .summer. The enterprise will bo do-
ierrod for a year , and then a linn now toitplo
will bo ornotod much mere elaborate
and oxponslvo than tbat contemplated
this year. Dr. Kosonan , the rabbi ,
returned yesterday from a two months' va
cation In the east , tlo lectured In Cincinnati
in the temple where hU father U the rabbi
and also before the Vouug Mon'a Christian
association of that city.
Dr. William S. Friedman , rabbi of the
Temple Immanuel In Denver , was a guest of
Dr. Kosonan last week and niado TIIR BKB
otlico a pleasant call ,
The Second Presbyterian church has boon
closed for a month undergoing repairs. It
Is being beautifully decorated and repaired
during the pastor's abtouco. There will bo
no services tbero until next Sunday , when

Reasons for Thinking That Paul B.
Tnto is Partly Demented.
It Is a question now whether Paul B. Tnto ,
the young bank clerk who Is accused of ab
sconding with $5,000 belonging to the
Merchants' National bank , Is not insane.
Judging from all the circumstances sur
rounding tbo case he is certainly demented.
About three weeks ago J. II. Tate , father
of the young man and a business man of high
standing , rocolvod a telegram from his erring
son dated Now Orleans. The opening son-
toncorcad : "Sail for Havana today , " and
this was followed by broken sentences con
voying no moaning.
Nothing further was hoard from him until
ton days ago , whan a loiter was received
from him dated at Ogdon. This stated that
bo bad soon the Omaha papers containing
the account of his flight , ilo denied bis
guilt emphatically and said ho could prnvo
his innoconca beyond nny question. He asked
his father's advice as to the best course to
pursue In order to sottto the matter.
Tbo letter also statad that Paul had taken
the name of F. M. Lawronco. The rest of
tbo letter , some three or four pages , con
tained nothing but disjointed sentences with
no discernible moaning ,
Mr. Tnto nt once wrote to his son aiid ad-
vliod him to moot Mr , B. li. Wood , glvo
himself up and explain the whole situa
tion.
In reply to this letter a telegram was ro-
cclvod from Paul at Gunnlsnn mump where
ho .should moot Mr.vood. . To this thr >
father telegraphed him to moot Mr. Wood at
Pueblo.
A xocond telegram was received from Gun-
nlson , reading as follows :

Olmmhorot L'omincrcu. Onmhu : Luavo for
ruohlo this 4:15 : u. in. Will meet Mr. W. there ,

The same day another telegram was re
ceived from him at Gunnlson , the body of
which was as follows :
"As per telegraph previous will moot Mr , W.
Oriind holul , I'tiunlo.
"To Operator If purtlos not In send to IKS ,
Luihrup iitruet , KounUo I'lnce , at onuu.
I' . M. I , . "
Telegrams were sent by the father la reply
to theta assuring him that Mr. Wood would
meet him as arranged , and on August 27 tbo
following telegram was received dated Pueblo :
"Tulozinms received. Shall owult arrival
of Mr. W. P.M. I , . "
In accordance with these nrrangomnuts
Mr. Wood proceeded to Puo ) lo , accompanied
by Mr. Prltchott , attorney for.tho bank.
f outig Tate mot thorn as agreed and at
first said hi ) was willing to go OAUK without
nny trouble. Afterward * ho changed his
mind and refused to go with them , A war
rant was served on him and bo was put under

His surrender was duo entirely to the of-
fnru of his father , who did what the do-
icctlvos were unable to do.
