That an agreement by which the populists would make no county nominations was en tered Into no one has ever denied. The plan \vat concocted by some of tlio self-appointed leaders or the democrats and popul'sts , and those who allowed themselves to be led agreed to the scheme without any trouble But since th ? endorsement of Weaver by the democrats other populists have come to the front who were not consulted nlraut the fusion business , and they are mnd as hornets nets to think they were froron'otit. A prominent populist from a township ad joining Council Bluffs was In tha city , and In conversation with one of the numerous anil-Weaver democrats said "These popu lists who lime had the nerve to sell out the rtstof us will find before long that they can't deliver the goods A straight populist ticket will be named , In spite of all they may say to tlio contrary " These disaffected ones among the populists are being earnestly encouraged by many of the anti-Weaver democrats , for such of them as arc democrats from principle , and not for the lust of office , will he highly pleased If the fnslonlsts are defeated That Weaver proves a bitter pill for gome of the demo crats to swallow Is Indicated by the action of a well known democrat , who calkd at the ofllce of the democratic organ In Council Hluffs the other day and and told the man In the office that If the paper stuck Jim Weaver's name at the head of the. editorial page , along with the other democratic candi dates , he might cut off his subscription.

AIMIY or IHU TKNNKSM.H. Itutinltm Will Ho Onn of the Mo t Note worthy Attaint i\nr : Srt.it Hero. The committees having In charge the pre liminaries to the annual reunion of the Army of the Tennessee to bo held In this city next October , ore hard at work , and they promise that the noted men belonging to the organ ization which will have posseslon of the keys of the city during two days at that time , will ha\c such an entertainment as they have never had before. .The Army of the Tennessee differs con siderably from other military organizations. It Is composed of officers only. There are about 400 members of the society , and the general attendance Is about half that number. All who have served at any lime as officers In the Army of the Tennessee are eligible to membership. The society was organized In April , 1865 , at the close of the civil war , In the field of Ilalelgh , N. C. Lee had surrendered and It was ev Ident that fighting times were ov er. During the war friendships that wcro destined to bo lifelong had sprung up among the "officers , the suno as among the men , and It was de cided to form a permanent organization , which , while It should not keep the hostile fires alive , should give the officers a chance to renew old acquaintance every year , rrom that time on annual meetings were held , and It la religious duly among the members as often as poslble. General Ravvllngs was the first president , and served until his death , when the vacant chair was filled by the election of General William T. Sherman. When ho died , General G. M. Dodge , form erly of this city , was elected president , and has held the office ever since. Among the notables who will be here are General Howard , General Fred Grant , -Gan- eral Leggltt , General Hlckenlooper , General Force , General Taylor , Colonel Cabel and General D. D. Henderson. The headquarters will bo at the Grand hotel , and all the meetings will be at the opera house. Mrs. Frank Pusey , who Is a daughter of General Dodge , will give the visitors a reception , and there will be a grand banquet at the Grand hotel , which will be ono of the most brilliant society events over seen in this city. The members and their ladles , with a few chosen guests from outside the sacred border , will be present. The people of Omaha have slgnlflqd their de sire to show what they can do In the vsay of providing entertainment , but as the time Is so far well filled by the people of this city , it Is likely that an extra day will bo added to the- reunion , making it three , in stead of only two.

There seems to bo no doubt that the wheel thieves who have boon plying their trade In Omaha , Lincoln and Fremont have recovered from the shock caused by the arrest and Imprison ment of ono of their number In this city a few weeks ago , and have gone to work once more. Among wheelmen the prevailing fetitl- inent seems to be In favor or organizing a so ciety which shall have for Us purpose the extermination of wheel thieves , A rope and telegraph polo are considered good enough apparatus to start with , and It U very likely that If any ono should be caught tn the act of Bteillng a wheel here the Ganyntcdeq would forget their Sunday school training In a very few minutes and devotu him to the business of ornamenting something far up In the air , J n. Fulton , who had a fullow named Doskoy arrested for stealing him wheel sev eral weeks ago , took exception to what ho considered an Inslnuttlon In the columns of The lice that he was postponing the trial from time to time In order to got some money from thf thief "That's all wrong , " said he. "I've been trying to get that express agent front Pacific Junction to come up here and Identify him. but I can't do U. He' * been up here several times , but I haven't been able to get him to nay whether he. could recognize him or not " "If jon can't convict him > our clf , then why don't > ou hive the case dismissed to that the officers from Omaha ran tike him In tow ? They nre anxious to net hln , " re marked the m.ir to whom lit made the com- phlnt. "Well , to tell the truth , " vva * his reply , " 1 don't career > much whether those offi cers from Omiha get him or not They've acted KO d d mean about It , I don't Know hut I'd rather see him get away entirely than have them get him. " So It Is evident that Pulton has been grossly mlsrcpreaentel Last evening a couple of men calleJ at the pollca station and reported that as they wore coming up to town south of Manawa they found two bicycles li dden In the woods. Instead of planting a guard at the place to catch the thieves , as might very properly have been done , Chief Scinlan and Officer Murphy hustled down to the place described arrived there before dark , and br tight the wheels back to the station , where they were soon Identified as bet.nglng to Pullman and Drown , the victims of Saturday night's thieves. _ _ IIVMANV OAK LOADS. KiillnmdH llrlnic llmiclrocli of ixctirtlimll * to the City on Siiinlii ) . The Kaunas City and Mllv.aukec roads each sent In a big excursion party yester day. The former brought twentj-flve car loads and the latter seventeen , the two to gether mustering about 2 , ! > 00 people. A pleasant day was spent by the visitors roamIng - Ing over the two cities. The weather was just right , and the streets were crowded all day long. At tlio lake the crowds found abundant means of entertainment , and the day was delightfully spent by the excursionists. It was the biggest of the season nt Manawa The excursionists wanted to see all there was , In the lake and on both sides. The turnstiles nt the Grand Pla/a showed that 3,000 had passed through them up to 8 o'clock. Hvery row boil and sailboat afloat was In constant use , and the steamers were taxed to their fullest capacity. The Manhat tan beach people did one particularly grace ful thing that was keenly appreciated by a large number of the strangers. The big sldewheel steamer M P Hohrer , started to return from Manhattan beach at 6 30 o'clock with a full load of excursionists. A stiff brc ° ze caught her shortly after she left the landing and drifted her to the lower end of the lake In spite of the full power of her en gines. She battled against It for an hour and by that time her coal supply was ex hausted , and she stranded helplessly on the Island half n mile fiom the landing. The Manhattan people sent the propeller Liberty to the rescue and took off all the excursion ists , who would otherwise have missed their train for home. Many of them were anxious to pay for thpr | passage on the Liberty , but the owners refused to permit them to pay a cent. To E. H. Odell more than any other In dividual belongs the credit for the success of the excursions He spent three or four days along the railway lines working It up and distributing bl Is , and employed a num ber of men and put In the day himself directIng - Ing the strangers the way to the lake and looking after th Ir comfort. At 2 o'clock he went up to Fall-mount park and found several hundred strangers who wore anxious to go to Manawa , but had been switched off on the wrong track. Three or four motor loads were gathered up and taken to the Ninth street cars. Among the excursionists who visited the city were n dozen members of the Perry Whe l club. They were met at the Mil waukee depot by a delegation from the Gany- mcd ; Wheel club , who took them to the club rooms. From there they went to the Driving Pork track and then to Manawa. Those making up the port > were : Leslie Morgan , Fred Ling , George Overton , Dell Hentholm , Harry Dutler , Gus Hlndert , Ira Melllck , Charles King , Fred Knell , Oscar Knell , Fred Thornley and U Chllds.

Here Is an Interesting account of a very clever bit of detective work by nn oculist. It appears that In a largo factory , In which were employed several hundred persons , ono of the workmen. In wielding his hammer , carelessly allowed It to slip from his hand , It flew half way across the room and struck a fellow \\orklnginun In the left eye. The man averred that his sight was blinded by the blow , although a careful examination failed to reveal any Injury , there being not a scratch visible. He brought a suit In the courts for compensation for the loss of half of his eyesight , and refused all offers of compromise. Under the law , says the Sheffield ( Eng land ) Telegraph , the owner of the factory was responsible for nn Injury resulting from an accident of this kind , and although ho believed that the man was shamming and that the whole case was an attempt at swindling , ho had about made up his mind that ho would be compelled to pay the claim. The day of the trial arrived , and In open court nn eminent oculist retained for the defense examined the alleged Injured mem ber and gave It ns his opinion that It wan as good as the right eje. Upon tlio plain tiff's loud protest of his inabllitj to see with his left eye , the oculist proved him a per jurer and satisfied the court and Jury of the falsity of his claim , And how do > ou suppose he did It ? Why simply by knowing that thu colors green and red combined niako black. He procured a black card on which a few words were written with g'on li k , Then the palntlT was ordered to put on a pair of spectacles with two different glasses , the ono for the right eye being red and the one lor the left eye consisting of ordinary glass. Then the card was hunded him ami he wan ordered to read the writing on It Thin ho did without hesitation , and the cheat was tit once ex posed. The sound right eye , fitted with the ted glass , was unable to distinguish the green writing on the black surface of the card , while ilie left eye , which ho pretended was blchtlvss , was the one with which the reading had to be done.

Chasing the festive tnrpon on the oojst of Plorlda Is regarded as great sport , but It Is not to be mentioned In the same dny with the Hport that lures the fisherman to Cntallnn Island , off the coast of southern California , A correspondent of the Ban Francisco Chronicle relates the experience of n fishing party ns follows' Catching n Jew fish Is' an experience which ninny persons travel n long distance to at tain , and which once acquired Is not soon forgotten. This fish Is n cousin of the black bass of the east , looks like It ntid rcsembl's It fin for fin , though Its enormous size makes It n caricature cf Its gamy ally. It has all thu game qualities of the black bass and the flM.erman who has conquered one hns worked his passage. Ono of the first of these giants I ever saw caught was In n triangular nf- fnlr. fnlr.We We were fishing for nnj thing wo coull catch and whllcllsh wore coming In rapidly v > l > en suddenly xomcthlng sebed n whttefish thnt had been hooked , something that showed n strong determination to carry ovcrj thing by storm. Careful manipula tion brought the fish to the surface , and It was nearly secured when with n rush n big shark Joined the sport and the fisherman drew up whnt remained of a soventy-flvc- potind jew fish The latter had seized the whltefislt and been hooked , nnd the shnrk had severed the Jew fish In two us nearly as could be Imagined. It only lacked the orca or killer to have seized the shark to complete the scries of tragedies. My next blnrk sen bass was taken off what Is known as Pebbly beach , a locality famous for the great fish , as It Is supposed that they go In there to deposit their spawn among the pebbles that line the shore and make music on the sands as they arc ground together by the waves Off this beach , so near that the fragrant odors of the canon flora reached us , wo anchored and cist our lines , baited with seven-pound whlteflsh , nllvo nnd frisky so hool.ed that their ac tivity would attract the ati < > itlon of the jowflsh , that , like his compeer , the black bass , desires live bait or a good substitute. The bait was allowed to dangle four or flvo feet above the bottom , and this done the fishermen gave themselves over to the pleasure of contemplation and that retro spective philosophy of which Walton was the genius. The scenery here the lofty mountains , the green canons , the cloudless sky , the fish ns It soars away all prevented tlio wait for n bite becoming tiresome ; but finally It came. I had almost forgotten the line when there came like a electric shock n tug , then another , and the line visibly and audibly walked awny. Over It went , Ina mysterious fashion , foot after foot , until fifteen ftet had been measured of In my mind's eye. Then came the tug of war , and I Jerked the hook Into the fish that twenty seconds later had pulled our heavy boat about nnd wns towing It up thn beach like a tug. - The first rush of the fish wns demoraliz ing. It wns nn nffnlrof smoke ns the line hissed over the edge of'thc ' boat nnd left two excited fishermentjumplng to avoid the flying colls. To have made It fnst would simply have been to break It. The charge of the bass was magnificent and Ineslstible , nnd many feet of llnd were taken before It was deemed advisable to check It. But finally , with n quick grasp. It was caught and the chase begun. With bow under the boat plowed away behind the maddened fish , that bent nil the games a bass ever Indulg 1 in , with a number of old salmon tricks In the bargain. It was dasli ahead with In credible spcpd , then stop nnd come In with a rush , so cunningly" managed that It was Impossible to take In the slack , and when finally It was In hand the vicious fish would sound directly for the bottom and move down thirty feet like an arrow out of a bow , tearing the line out of my hands ns though I had been n child. Then I gained on him nnd took him tip foot by foot the hardest work I ever did with occasional wrenches that took my arms Into the water elbow deep. Then came blows , one , two , three , In quick succession , that lengthened out tne arms and made the Joints crack , followed by lunges , dashes nnd other aquatic gym nastics that were confusing and calculated to wear out the strongest muscles. There Is n way.hov aver , to manage a big fish If plenty of line is available , nnd finally , after n hand-to-hand fight of three-quarters of nn hour , half a mile from where we hooked the fish I brought it to the surface. The moment his big eye caught sight of me came n lunge that threw us all down .and half filled the boat , nut it was the last effort of a grand fighter , and the gigantic fish lay nt the surface and took Its quietus of n bullet through the vertebrae at the hands of a worn-out fisherman. I recom mend this exercise for the overworked busi ness man. It has this advantage all the muscles are brought Into play , and the man who kills , alone nnd single-handed , n 350- pound black sea bass well earns the sport and prize. _ THE COYOTE'S CR"X. A Itnw Lluutcniinl'a I'urly Kxperlrnce on the Ilonlcr. On graduating from West Point I Joined my regiment nt a bleak post , far out on the frontier , said an officer to the corridor man of the Globe-Democrat. Ono cold winter night , not many months after , when the snow wns piled deep on mountain and In valley , and creaked noisily at each step of the heavy arctic overshoes wo were obliged to wear , I was trudging wearily around the post , mak ing my last inspection of the sentinels as officer of the guard. Suddenly , from Just across the parade nnd directly behind the line of officers' quarters , there came a short , sharp bark , followed by sev eral more In quick succession , the time growing faster and the pitch higher , until In a moment they all ran together In one long-drawn and lugubrious howl. Then the nolso stopped , but before I could re cover breath It began again In the same way as before , only louder , and In n more wall ing tone , until It seemed as If a chorus of fiends was lamenting the Invasion of their haunts by the white man. Wo were In the heart of the Indian coun try , and thinking the unusual nolso was the signal for a midnight attack I was about to run back to the guarrt. bouse , turn out the guard , and nrouso the garrison , when a sharp , "Who comes there ? " warned mo that I wan approaching a sentinel. After I had been duly advanced , th | & , man proved to bo nn old soldier of my'o\vn ' company , who had probably enlisted not many years after I was born.

The commission Appointed by the presi dent to Investigate the labor strikes In Iho wist Is to meet In this city tomorrow , says the Washington corrvupundtni of the Phila delphia Press. Ueyotul the waste uf n few thousand dollars inoro or less of public money , this commission Is not expected to accomplish anything whatever. The plan Is to proceed to Chicago nnd elsewhere and tnl.c testimony concerning the strikes. Hut the only * trlkc , excepting those ordered out of "sympathy , " Is the one at Pullman , 111. , which this commission will have no authority to Investigate , because It does not concern Interstate commerce. The whole Investigation appears to be about as uncalled for and ridiculous ns the one concerning the slums of cities , regard ing which Labor Commissioner Wright hns Just Issued n voluminous report. Mr Wright Is not to bo blamed for thnt preposterous slum Investigation. That Is the one dis tinguishing mark to Inform a waiting world that Itcv. James Henderson Kyle nf South Dakota Is a member of the United States Hcnate. The resolution ordering this slum Investi gation was one of the early products of Mr. Kylo's brain. At that time both the repub licans nnd democrats had some hopes of re ceiving Mr , Kyle's support In the senate. The body , being nearly equally divided po litically , Mr Kyle was Indulged to the extent of passing his resolution for n slum Investigation , but he was disappointed In not being allowed to make the Investigation him self , as the work was turned over to the bureau of labor utatlst'cs ' , and $20,000 was appropriated to pay the expenses. Mr. Kyle's resolution , ns It passed the sen ate , provided for nn Investigation of the slums of all American cities having 200,000 or more Inhabitants , and also for purposes of comparison of the slums of foreign cities Commissioner Wright found thnt to carry out this resolution would require the ex penditure of probably $200,000 , Instead of $20.000 , and he therefore wisely limited the Investigation to four cities New York , Phil- ndelphla , Baltimore and Chicago. i It was pointed out when the Investigation began that nothing whatever could possibly bo learned about the slums of these cities excepting what was already known , and that even if anything were learned the federal government had no power whatever to legislate concerning municipalities. The report of Commissioner Wright Is merely a compilation of census statistics nnd official reports of municipal officers. There Is not a solitary now fact brought to public light in regard to the matter. Adi Ito I'nlloiviMl. A young man of this city was so much given to exaggerated expression thnt his friends found It necessary to remonstrate , says the Washington Star. "Think before you speak , " said one of them. "That's the only way to do It. " An ! severnl friends who were near endorsed the advice. "But that takes time , " he pi aded. "I never misrepresent anything that is really Important , you know. " "It doesn't mnko nny difference. You are making a mlstnke. You nre getting n repu tation which is hurtful to you socially und In a business way. " "Whnt'll I do ? " "Never say nnythlng you nro not nb&o- lutely sure of. " "Well , I'll try It. " It was some days after when they met on the street. IJoth were In a streaming perspi ration , nnd the friend of the Imaginative man remarked : "Hot , Isn't It ? " The only reply was a look of earnest re flection. "I say It's mighty hot. " The young man reached around Into his coattall pocket , drew out a thermometer , and after gravely inspecting It , said- "Ninety degrees In the shade. Yes , I think I am Justified in replying to you , as I have to several other people today , that the heat la very Intense , although nothing ex traordinary for this time of year.

From this on we will not let prices stan in the way. This is no "fake advertising" scheme , but a genuine sale. Don't think of buying a dollar's worth of Furniture till you get our prices.
