NEWS FROM COUNCIL BLUFFS
Quests of Polhwattamie County Entertained
by a Fellow of Warm Sjropithy ,
HOY/ / JAGS WERE INTRODUCED TO THE JAIL
lr. rinncy'ii Wine Cellar nmptleil tlmt Illll
CrlM .Might Do Kept rul
Ilsco\cry Mitdo liy Deputy
bhcrirr Peterson.
Dick Roberts , who has been employed for
the past month or longer as hostler .by Dr.
C. II. Plnney , has been detected In a little
charity work which Is commendable enough
In the eyes of his proteces , but rather ex
pensive for his emloyer. Yesterday Deputy
Sheriff Charles Pctcrton was In the front
room of the jail building when ho heard
a slight click. He glanced out of the window
just In time to see a large black bottle with
a string tied around the neck perambulating
up the sldo of the window casing. At the
same moment he caw Roberts dodge around
the corner of Dr. Plnney's barn , just across
the alley from the jail. He rushed upstairs
to see who was at the other end of the
string , and saw BUI Crlss trying to conceal
sorhcthlng under the pillow of his bunk. On
opening the door he found that the mysteri
ous something which Crlss was so anxious
to put out of sight was the bottle , and that
the bottle was tilled with grope wine , which
was so strong that the alcohol It contalnul
could be plainly smelt. The bottle was Con
fiscated.
Tills Is not the first time this feort of thins
has occurred under somcwnat different cir
cumstances. It seems Hint Roberts has been
furnishing jags to some of the "trusties"
about the jail without money and without
price for some little time. Bill Crlss , a man
named Petty and the other r > rlsoners who
were regarded as "trusties" have been In
the habit of slipping over to the Plnney barn
when they hnd a good chance , nnd Imbibing
the liquid refreshments which Roberts fished
up from the cellar. The jailer noticed that
Rome of the prisoners had no particular
trouble In accumulating jags , notwithstand
ing no liquor was allowed In the building ,
but It was hard to find out who It was that
was standing between them and death from
an unholy thirst. Roberts was finally picked
on as the probable person , and Dr. Plnney
was notified. Ho found that his cellar , which
had been well stocked with wine , was empty ,
so generous had his coachman been.
Saturday morning Crlss was absent from
the jail and a search was Instituted for him.
On the street Sheriff Hazen met a colored
friend of his , who. In response to a question ,
said : "Co'se I knows whah ho Is ; Bill's
down to Mrs. Pralor's. He's drunk. "
"Here's a pretty how-dy-do , " was about
the substance of the sheriff's mental re
marks : "Bill's supposed to be serving out
n sentence In the county Jail for larceny ,
and Instead of that he's down at Mrs.
Pralor's , drunk. "
Ho at once went to Mrs. Pralor's. and
found the darky had told him the truth.
Crlss was not only drunk , he was very , very
drunk. When he arrived at the jail with
the sheriff he was in a fighting condition and
refused to be searched. Sherlltllazen had to
throw him to the floor twice , and finally ,
with one knee planted firmly On the darky's
throat , ho manaeed to empty his pockets.
In one of them he found a large knife , wide
open and ready for business. Crlss now oc
cupies a cell and will do so until the end
of his term of office. Roberts has laid
himself liable to a criminal prosecution , and
It Is extremely likely that today will find
him engaged in his time-honored occupation ,
wearing the upholstery oft the divans In the
county Jail. At any rate , ho will not be
currying Dr. Plnney's horses.
IHTIUMI.ML : : > ON SUICIDI :
YOUIIR Hungarian Mukon All Arrangement *
for 11U Own I'lincrnt.
Rev. Stephen Phelps , D.D. , pastor of the
First Presbyterian church , received a call
Saturday afternoon from a young Hungarian
Jew named Lyahlm. He was faultlessly
dressed and bore all the outward appear
ances of prosperity , but he announced on
entering the house that ho had determined
to commit eulclde. Ho showed Dr , Phelps
a ring he was wearing on his finger and
paid that ho had worn It ever since child
hood. He wanted the clergyman to see that
ho was given a decent burial , and to take
the ring from his finger after he was dead
In payment for his trouble. Dr. Phelps
very naturally was not disposed to accept
the young man's offer without knowing
moro about his case and pressed him for
an explanation.
"I left Hungary a few years ago , " said he ,
"leaving my father In almost destitute cir
cumstances. Ho had been well off , but a
rascally friend of his ran away to America ,
taking with him $82,000 of my father's
money and leaving him In poverty. I went
to Tacoma , where I got employment , which
enabled ma to send my father $23 a month
to support him. lately I lost my place and
became the victim of a number of other
misfortunes. I started back for the east nnd
found myself stranded In Councl Bluffs ,
without money or friends. Concluding I
would be better oft dead than alive , I deter-
in.ned to commit suicide. I walked down
to the river , but just as I was about to
throw myself In , I recollected that when my
body was found people would say I was flee
ing from the consequences of some crime or
trying to escape my debts , and I decided to
find some good man who would see that I
was given a proper burial. "
Ho pointed to a scar on the back of his
neck and said that was the result of a
stab given him by the man who had robbed
his father. The thief had run across him
out west and tried to kill him In order to
get some papers which the young man had
In his possession and which contained all
the evidences of his crime that were In
existence. Having confided this much of his
story to the clergyman , he said good-by and
turned suddenly to go out.
Dr. Phelps Intercepted him nnd was com
pelled to hold him back almost by main
force , while he tried to talk him out of his
raah resolve. He at last succeeded In doing
this nnd HIP young man agreed to try to
reach friends of his who lived In Dos
Molnes. Dr. Phelps was firmly convinced of
the young man's sincerity and congratulates
himself on his having cheated the coroner of
Pottawaltamlc county out of a job , which ,
however , may fall to the lot of the coroner
of some other county In case the young
man has another attack of the blues.

A. F. Clattcrbuck reported to Chief Scan-
Ian that a woman had been causing his
neighbors near Parks Mill a good deal of
anxiety during thc aftcrnoou by her actions ,
which Indicated that she was almost wild
over .ionic misfortune that had befallen her
and which seemed likely to end In her com
mitting suicide. Last Friday evening she
went to Camp's drug store nnd bought n
package of strychnine containing enough of
the poison to put a score of people out of
their misery , giving the name of Mrs. C. V.
Wheeler , and then walked out of town. She
was next seen walk.ng along the railway
tracks cast of the city , and narrowly escaped
being run over by the cars. She went to
the house of Mrs. LaFord and startled the
occupants by her wild , rambling talk , which
gave them the Idea that n man was the
cause of her grief. While at the house she
took something out of her bosom , which
Mrs. LaFord took away from her and found
It to be a package of strychnine. She left
the house soon ofter.
Chief Scanlan spent the wliolo afternoon
scouring the country around In the direction
which she had taken. The underbrush was
so thick that one could not see twenty feet ,
ahead of him , and , after several hours of
hard work , he was compelled to give up the
chase.
Mrs. Wheeler , If that Is her name , claimed
to be from Sruth Omaha , and to have also
lived In North Omnhn , She Is described as
about 30 years of age , light complexloncd ,
somewhat freckled , with red hair. Four
front teeth were gone , she having thrown
away a false set. She wore a blue waist ,
drab skirt and black hat. It Is said she
answers the description of a woman who
was In the city a few days ago trying to
give away n biby.

The one Dempsey had was taken to the city

Among his effects were a silver watch , n

all of which he admitted Were a part of the
stuK stolen Saturday morning from Ihe
residence of Gregory Jensen near the trans
fer , mention of which was made In yester
day's Bee. The fellow who got away , he
said , was his pal. They came In on the Mil

and went to Jensen's house to get a drink.
They found no one was at home , and decided
it was a gocd time to get In their work.
They ransacked the house , took all the val

to this city as soon as requisition papers can
be obtained , and the officers hope to recap

waiting for another horse to be brought
out from the city. They managed to reach
Council Bluffs about midnight , none the
worse for their unpleasant experience.

THE AMERICAN CRANK.
A Huso Hall KnthiiHlimt AVIium Xo Foreigner
Can Hope to ITiitlcrstniul.
There Is ono typo of American citizen
which It Is certain no foreign critic will
ever bo able to understand , says the New
York Sun. U does not make much differ
ence who the critic may be , when ho con
fronts the type of silent and puttering base
ball crank ho will bo at sea. It Is a typo
that la familiar to all the attendants at the
ball games and to the many men who are
acquainted with the world of sports. The
howling dervish sort of crank Is known
to all men , but the silent and suffering
one usually baffles analysis. In the
majority of Instances he Is a man of mature
years , who has secured an Important place
In the financial op commercial world. His
passion for base ball Is a thing that passes
all understanding. Ho Is on hand at the
gamea whenever It Is possible , but always
takes a retiring and unobtrusive seat , where
ho sits with an outward air of boredom and
indifference , but really suffering from emo
tions that are violent and tempestuous. It
It Is only when ho grits his teeth , drives his
nails Into the palms of his hands , or sud
denly lets out a blood-curdling scream that
the spectator gets any Idea of the emo
tions which are aroused by the playing.
At other times the tremor of his eyelids
or the fierce fashion In which he bites his
lips as he watches the game Indicate how
closely be participates in the fortune of
the home team. There Is one Instance of a
banker of sedate mien , with white mutton
chop whiskers and a smug exterior , who ,
when spoken to on the question of base
ball , Einlles , shrugs his shoulders and re
fuses to be drawn Into a discussion. Yet at
dinner at night he la wildly jubilant or Im
moderately depressed , according- the re
sults of the day's game. Ho has not missed
a day's game this year , except on Tuesdays
and Fridays , when he U compelled to be
present at board meetings. He Is only one
of literally hundreds of men who are known
to the frequenters of the ball grounds , and
who arc wound up In the national game tea
a degree of absorption that even the de
votees of racing could not rival.

O. A. Uckles , county jutornoy , some time
ago was reported as lihv.ng his mind s t
upon the lieutenant -governorship , but last
report has U that ho will not allow his
name to be presented. ' lift Is a republican.
Majors has quite a strong following In
this section. Judge Uartow of this place
some time ago came outffor him * and Is un
derstood to bo working In his Interests.
' CHASE CdU.S'TY.
Chase couniy , Joined"vlth three other
counties In the legislative' ' district , has only
one candidate spoken of for representative.
T. H. McOlnnls , a farmer near this place , Is
mentioned by leading populists as a candi
date for representative. The democrats and
republicans practically concede to other coun
ties the right to name the candidate this
year.
Cash D. Fuller Is one of the prominent
candidates upon the republican ticket for
secretary of state.
As to governor , but little Is said. Majors
has a large personal acquaintance and fol
lowing In this county nnd It Is reasonable to
presume that he will secure the delegation ,
SCOTT3 ULUKF COUNTY.
Scotts Dluff county Is In the Thirtieth sen
atorial district and the Fifty-fourth repre
sentative district.
No state candidates In the county. Mac-
Cell will have the delegation , almost cer
tainly , for governor.
No legislative candidates of any party In
the county except Hon. William II. Akers of
Collins , who Is likely to bo the republican
nominee for state senator In the Thirtieth
district. Ho Is a farmer , an old soldier , ex
cellent stump speaker , etc. , and probably the
best posted Irrlgatlonlst In Nebraska.
DAWSON COUNTY.
Frank Dacon will be the republican candi
date for representative. He Is a farmer and
ranchman ; has lived In Uawson county about
ten years , but owing to his absence from the
county a sketch of his life Is not nt present
obtainable. He has had no political career.
There will bo no democratic candidate for
any ofllce In this section or county.
J. O. Lynch , the populist representative of
two years ago , will be rcnomlnated.
With Jack MacColl the representative can
didate for governor Bacon will be elected
representative , with a good chance for him
In any event.
Relative to the candidate for governor ,
whose candidacy meets with the warm ap
proval not only of the republicans , but also
of democrats and populists , would say his
name Is MacColl.
SHERMAN COUNTY.
Sherman county has several aspirants In
the populist ranks for representative nnd
the ones most favorably spoken of arc James
/Sink of Loup City township and E. A.
Draper of Elm township.
Candidates on the republican and demo
cratic tickets are as yet unannounced , as
the county Is strongly Independent.
On the Independent ticket for senator are
J. M. Snyder , chaplain of the last senate ,
and Moses H. Smith.
In the race for congressman Aaron Wall
will have the solid support of the republi
cans of Sherman county should he deem
It expedient to allow his name to come up
before the Droken How convention.
John W. Long of this city Is nominated
for attorney general on.the prohibition ticket.
The .political pot iliasnJiot commenced to
boll as" yet , althoughjsevcral prospective can
didates are scanning , tho/fleld. There will be
no candidates for ? titan officers from this
county In any of tbq parties.
W. F. Poitcr's name is frequently men
tioned In connection.-with/the populist nomi
nation for congress , twhUe many of the popu-
Ilsts favor J. M. Dovlnp. Mr. Porter's name
Is also mentioned In cpnnectlon with the
nomination for the senate and house. An
effort will be madcr-to ; lrenomlnate him for
the senate. , , , , .
The name of Judge JL Ewlng Is heard as
a probable candidate , for , the house on the
populist ticket. u , rl
The democrats arp. tog badly demoralized
'
to have a candidate 'for..any office.
Republicans favor. , tlio renomlnatlon of
Meiklejohn. D. Y. CJaiX , Is talked of as a
candidate for the senate , The name's of W.
T. Thompson. I. S. Tyndall and Robert
Campbell are regarded as being among the
most available to select from. Still there
Is little talk or speculation as to who will
be the nominee for the house.
Republicans In this county generally favor
Jack MacColl for governor.
HOWARD COUNTY.
There are no candidates whatever In the
field here from either party , nor have there
as yet been any conventions held , nor has
any time been decided upon by the central
committee for holding same. People hero of
all parties are opposed to early political con
ventions.
Amongst the republicans here the railroad
crowd , headed by the Pauls and Chlnns , will ,
I suppose , as usual , run the republican ma
chine and the rest of us be relegated to the
rear. Same conditions here In the demo
cratic camp , and I suppose the populists , same
as the last two or three years , will gobble
up everything.HALL
HALL , COUNTY.
As far as Is generally.known there are
only two populist cand.datcs for the legis
lature this fall. They are Ed S. Lee , chair
man of the Hall county board of super
visors , arm J.L. . Johnson , representative In
1S93. Mr. Lee Is perhaps the most popular
populist In the county. _
There seems to be no definite understand
ing as yet as to whether ther"e Is a demo
cratic party In this county or not , and hence
no one has ventured to announce himself
In the hands of his friends for any demo
cratic honors whatsoever , except , perhaps ,
W. H. Thompson.
It must be confessed that there are qulto
a number of republican aspirants , who know
a sure thing when they see It. There's W.
H. Harrison and George H. Thummel of this
city and Rlley Wcscott , Rlley Abbott. Z.
Avery , George C. Humphrey. A. L. Scudder ,
Martin Ennls and R. P. McCutchcon outside
the city. W. H. Harrison and Rlley Abbott
were candidates two years ago and were
defeated. The more do they seem to think
the plum Is theirs by right of such defeat.
V. W. Barber of this city Is a candidate
for nomination by the republican state con
vention for the office of superintendent of
public Instruction. He Is gaining great
strength In this section of the state and
Will be a formidable adversary to the other
candidates. Mr. Barber was educated In an
Illinois college and has studied law , being
n regularly admitted , member of the Hall
county bar.
Howard county. It Is understood , will per
mit Hall county to name the senators this
time , and It la stated that W. H. Thompson
would not be averse to an election.
BOONE COUNTY.
The republican candidate for the legisla
ture will undoubtedly be F , P. Judd , ex-
county treasurer , who has several times
proved his strength before the people by
carrying this county against an adverse
majority. R. F. Martin has also been men
tioned , but nlno republicans out of ten are
for Judd.
James Barnes , a. leading farmer. Is the
most likely candidate of tnc populists for
representative. , *
Editor Balrd of the Cedar Republican
will be the populltt candidate for senator
from this county.
It is generally sifpposM that Hon. W. A.
Poynter will bo a candidate ror a place on
the populist ( Btutoi ticket. , Mr. 'Poynter
haa served In both branches of the legisla
ture and was defif.Ut-d by Meiklejohn for
congress In 1S92. and /or this reason there
Is a manifestation of preference by the popu
lists In his favori for governor , as this
county Is solid for Poynter.
Democrats are reticent , and no very de
cided stand Is taken by republicans , but
as between MacColl and Majors , this county
will support MacColl.
YORK COUNTY.
The following named gentlemen are prom
inently named candidates who will appear
before their respective conventions , It not
being known whether the democrats will
place a ticket In the field :
John Ittner , M. Oberg and J. E. Tracey
are desirous of representing the populists
In the legislature. M. Johnson and C. Tt.
Keckley , who were In the last legislature ,
are candidates for re-election , although Keck
ley Is being fought by both of the republican
papers of tills county. Dr. J , B. Canaway
la mentioned aa a prominent populist candi
date for the legislature ,
York county will present the name of
Prof. II. A. Corbett to the republican con
vention and ask , that ho bo given tha posi
tion of state superintendent of public In
itruellon , Thl * gentleman Is an nrdent
republican. Ho was railed In Nebraska
and has besn Identified with the cause of
education in the slate for upwards of four-
ten years , Is familiar with graded and
ungraded schools , colleges and other educa
tional Institutions. He has b en principal
of the York High school for four years.
IUCHARDSON COUNTY ,
For commissioner of public lands and
buildings QeorgO'W. Marsh , at present county
treasurer , Is a candidate and will have the
delegation from Hlchardson county.
Another candidate Is Wallace W. Abbey
of this city , at present a member of the
board of education. Ho was at the time of
the building of the new stale penitentiary

Hvo stock commission. Ho has never held
any other public office In this county.

POLK COUNTY.
Cand dates for legislative honors are not
numerous. Hon. George Harst la the only
candidate among the populists yet openly
announced , though others are likely to ap-
pjar later.
There are no * candidates for places on
either of the state tickets In Polk county.
On governor MacColl has the lead over
Majors , and If It lies between these two will
undoubtedly get the delegation. If It should
prove true that Crounse Is In the race he
will get the support of Polk county.
Bryan will get the democratic delegation
If he Is a candidate.
Gaffin Is In the lead among the populists
and the sentiment Is very > strong among
t\em ! against any fusion on Bryan.
MADISON COUNTY.
The majority of the republicans of this
county favor JWacColl for governor , but
Crounso has a strong' ' following If , he would
accept the nomination.
HERALDRY OF THE PLAINS.
The Soclul IlcarhigH ( Cattle Itrniutliiff lit
the AVcHtoril btntes.
The subject of the brand discovers Itself ,
sooner or later. In one way or another , In
most of the affairs of cattle country life , says
a writer In McClure's. The unaccompanied
children of lonely and remote ranches play
at roping and branding each other. The
wife of the kindly , liberal-hearted cattleman
will nearly always be given her own
brand ; often his little girls as well.
These brands may begin In a little bunch
of cows or a few brood mares ; but with
no demands up the "Increase , " they soon
grow to very respectable herds of cattle or
bunches of horses.
It sounds wonderfully picturesque and
western to hear a dainty little ninety-pound
woman , speaking of some feminine or ar
tistic luxury , remark : "Well , I can have it
If I can sell off some beef this fall , " or to
have a bright girl , discussing the relative
desirability of a course at an art school , or
an eastern pleasure trip , assure you that she
can easily meet the expense of whichever
she decides upon by selling her 1S90 crop of
colts , which are now 4-year-olds and just
broken.
You would not suppose that the small ,
blind , Insuinclently-clad deity of the bow
and quiver would ever neglect his classic
weapon to concern himself with so gross
and barbarous utensil ai a branding Iron.
Yet such things have been.
I have heard the tale how that , away
back In the ' 70s , there appeared ( along with
the rest of her family ) . In one of the far-out
plain counties of the Texas cattle country , a
fair one by the romantic and mellifluous
name of Lllybel Plunkett.
For the capricious and uncertain favor
of this , the only marriageable young lady
In the district , all the suEceptlble'and un
attached cowboys ( of which cla-s the popu
lation almost wholly consisted ) strove to
gether eagerly and without ceasing , mav-
crlcklng right and left everything they
could lay their hands on , with a running
brand L. I. L. until , when the tenderfoot
she had all along been engaged to came out
and married her , she brought him great
herds of L. I. L. cattle , with which they
gayly set up a ranch beneath the noses of
the forlorn celibate community.
Also , there was Buck Redmond , who , when
he had quarrelled with his sweetheart ( old
man Drake's daughter , known facetiously as
"the duck" ) , proceeded to singe upon the
hide of an Incidental maverick his burning
resentment of the scorns , gibes and Indigni
ties she had heaped upon him In the heat
of her anger and the Immunity of her sex.
It was a delicate example of cowboy re
partee , the retort bucolic , to catch up this
unfortunate third party , brand It all over
Its helpless bovine side In great sprawling
letters , DUCK , and turn the capering
ban mot loose where it could not fall of
meeting the eyes of the cruel fair one.
The performance served Its purpose of
deadly affront , the Drake -boys holding for
some time that the obligation was upon them

QUALIFIED TO ACT AS JUDGE.
A VVr.itprii Humorist \\lio Urctdcil n Cnno

Huff a hi 1)111 ) once gave a show In Carson
City , Nev. , and on the opening HlKht the
house was packed to the doors. The audi
ence , however , went away dissatisfied because -
cause Mr. Cody himself did not appear. The
celebrated cowboy , when the time came for |
him to startle the audience with his deed *
of daring , was not to bo found. So the Rood
people of Carson dubhcd the show a "f.tkn , "
and after the first night only a few attended.
Charles K. Locke , the manager of the show ,
brought n suit against UufTalo Illll to recover |
damages. It caused a great sensation In ,
Carson , for , according to the San Francisco !
News Letter , the residents of that town
knew very little of the merits of Thespians
of any kind , and there were few , If any ,
who could honestly tell whether or not It
was more gratifying to the audience for nn
Intoxicated actor to appear on the stage and
make a fool of himself or remain behind the
scenes In the arms of Morpheus , The judge
of the court did not like to decide the case
between Messrs , Locke and Cody , and It was
Impossible to find a jury with Biiniclctit In
telligence to understand the matter. Finally
It was agreed to let Sam Davis decide the
case. So the sago brush humorist was
brought before the tribunal and was closely
questioned by the judge , who wanted to sec
how much Mr. Davis knew about the drama.
"Have you ever been In u theater , Mr.
Davis ? " asked the Judge.
"Yes , sir. "
"Do you think that you can tell the differ
ence between a man \\l\o \ Is Intoxicated and
a man who Is sober ? "
"Most assuredly , " answered Mr. Davis.
"Did you ever hear of a theater where the
play drew largely on the first night and
continued to draw largely during the run of
the play ? "
'Yes , sir. " i
'Where ? "
'In London. It was tragedy. "
Who wrote It ? "
'William Shakespeare. "
'Now , Mr. Davis , did you ever hear of n
theater where the play drew largely on the
first night and draw only eight or ten people
on every night thereafter ? "
Yes , sir. "
Where ? "
'In London. It was a tragedy , also. "
'And who wrote that tragedy ? "
'I did. "
Mr. Davis was unanimously selected to
decide the suit , which ho did In favor of
Buffalo Dili.
