to the
Meeting.
LINCOLN , Feb. 13. ( Special. ) The pro
hibition stnto convention \\oa called tn order
nt 2 o'clock p. m. today at Red Ribbon hall
and a free silver fight Mian Immediately pre
cipitated , It nroae over the amendment of
Delegate Wolfenbarger to the report kof the
committee on credentials. The amendment
was to the effect that no delegate- present
should be allowed to cast more than five
votes. There wore counties having an ac
credited representation of twenty-three votes ,
like Douglas , a.nd twenty-two , llko Lancaster.
There were other counties In the extreme
northwestern prtlon of the state entitled
to but one veto and roprescnted by but one
delegate. At the last state convention , in
July , 1895 , Delegate Wolfenbarger attempted
to get a free silver plank into the platform
and alleged after Its defeat that Delegate
AVoodby of Omaha defeated the plank by
casting the entire vote of the Doughs county
delegation after another delegate , Mr. Dale ,
had gone home. It was In the furtherance.
of tlfc free silver ldo that Delegate Wolfen
barger now strove to fix things at the kick
oil.
Previous to the convention the state cen
tral committee met nnd adopted a set of
rules to govern proceedings and Secretary
Blttcnbondcr reported a surplus of 27 cants
in tha treasury and no unpaid bills. Among
the most prominent members and old wheel
horses of the party were noticed the follow
ing :

txventy-ono delegates and twenty-one alter
nates to the national prohibition convention
and two members of the national committee.
Dr. E. T. Cassell of Hastings was chosan
temporary clmlrniin. A. G. Wolfenbarger
then suggested a committee on permanent
organization , and , In apparent conflict with
this , Secretary Illttcnbender moved the ap
pointment of five members as a committee
cd credentials. Mr. Wolfenbarger's motion ,
howuver , prevailed , nnd Colonel H. E. George
moved a committee bo appointed to re
port before the committee on permanent or
ganization wns appointed. Wolfenbarger
moved to table this motion , but was snc/vved
under. The committee on credentials ap
pointed comprised II. C. Blttenbendor. H. W.
Hardy nnd Mr. Armstrong. The following

the State unlvcmlty read a paper on
"Flower Culture. " He gave figures of the
amount of money Invested In establishments
for tlio cultivation of flowers In this country
ami the 'great extent of the Industry. The
paper treated qnlto at length the test
method ) ) of the care and cultivation of flower
ing plants so ns to necurc the b Rl of results
as to flowers and foliage , and was very PMC-
tlcil In Its nature.
Frank Hlbbard of Arlington rend a paper
on "Duties Farmer * Neglect. " This paper
brought out an extended discussion , which
drifted on to the bet sugar question , nnd o
good many farmers gave their experience and
vented their grievances ngaln&t the Oxnards.
J. D. McDonald , who was to liavo rwul the
paper which was to have b = cn read nt the
beet sugar convention , was sick and unable
to bo present ,
This morning Prof. J. A. Collins spoke on
the uiibject of "Management and Control of
County Schools. " He gave n brief statement
of tha condition , needs and necessities of the
county schools. Ho thought a uniform list of
text books should bo used.
The subject of poultry was then taken up.
Prof. Mohlor read a paper on the beat breeds
of poultry. He said that no one breed way
the best for nil purposes. He considered the
Leghorns the best for eggi , and the Lang-
shaii ! or Cochins the best for the market.
Dr. Peters of the state agricultural exper
iment station , said that the poultry of Ne
braska waa less subject to illseasj than in
many states. There wns a very good ex-
hlblk of chickens In the hall today , several
coops each of Cochins , Langshann , Plymouth
Rocks , Hamburgs , bantams and many others ,
This afternoon the largo audience room
was crowded. Dr. Cord read n very Inter
esting and Inptructlvo napjr on "DIseasss of
Animals. " That portion of It In regard to
hog cholera was listened to with marked at
tention. The disease ho said was caused by
a germ nnd wast very contagious. It could
bo communicated by a person going from an
Infected place to a yard where the hogs
were healthy. The disease could be best ar
rested by those having healthy hogs taking
especial care that no germs were carried
among the hogs. He was not prepared to
express an opinion on what Is called the
"corn stalk disease , " A majority of the
farmers present declared by a vote that the
disease was not caused by a germ or by a
poison , but by the cattle eating too much
dirty fodder and not having enough water
and salt. _

.YORK , Neb. , Feb. 13. ( Special. ) What Is
causing quite a little' excitement in this city
Is a supposed gra'vo robbery 'in Greenwood
cemetery. A few days ago the state.ment
was made by a citizen of this place .that
.while walking in .the , cemetery he came
across a grave that looked very much as
thought It had been tampered with. This has
caused an investigation , .and Jt , is found that
a grave , marked by a board , on which Is-
printed , roughjy , the figures " 1&04 , " looks
very 'flinch as though It had been disturbed.
The figures are all that. is on the board , 'and
no one seems to know what body the grave
contains. A short time ago a suspicious-
looking box was sent out of York fonsomo
eastern part. ' It waa " hermetically sealed ,
and attracted attention from its appearance.
It Is thought that a thorough Investigation
will promptly be made.

Timber CuHlnir C.itmen Trotililc.
O'NEILL , Neb. , Feb. 13. ( Special. ) There
Is considerable trouble over on the Nlobrara
river regarding the cutting of timber from
nn island there. It appears that a man
named Gray has a deed to the land , but by
a recent government survey the land is
placed In Boyd county. For the past two
weeks several parties have been cutting tim
ber from the island , and they would pay no
attention to the remonstrances of Gray , so
he came to this city and got an order In the
district court restraining the parties from
cutting the timber. It is reported that Gray
hao been notified that unless he discontinues
the legal proceedings there will be trouble.
A coon MIMOUY.
The Aniei-lenu StnirKcreil HI * Ger
man CliulIeiiKer.
A story Is told by the Kansas City Star of
a bright young American and several Ger
man officers who 'nt d dinner one evening
set out to make him uncomfortable by
chaffing him about his country. The young
man Is Albert H. Washburn , the United
States consular agent at Madgeburg , Henry
F. Merrltt , consul at Chemnitz , wns.the first
ono of the Americans attacked , with a taunt
from ono of the Germans tbat he could not
glvo the names of the presidents of the
United States. Merrltt named them over
with some deliberation and drew from his
German friend the declaration that lie 'did
not believe there was another American pres
ent who could do It. ,
Young Washburn had said nothing uatfl
now , but he broke In and declared : "I can
do it , and I will give , you the vice presi
dents. " He was about to begin , whcn.a
second thought' struck "him. and "he said :
"While I an ? about it , 'I might as. well give
you the becretarles of state , too. " ( The
Germans got .down a book"gtvlng Uio names
.and kept tabs on the young man'1'as he
' 66rrectly .tfent through'Jthfr ' Hat. " . .Thfcy
were pretty1 well backed 'flown already , but
Washburn had no Idea of letting them' 'oft
so easily. ' "Now , I should like to ! know , "
his said , "wlicther any 'of you'iean' ' give Hhe
names of the Prussian rulers from' the-time
of Charlemagne and his soiis down" to'tho
Emperor William ? " iv <
Not one of them- could go half. through
the list and they were on the * point of
apologizing to the young Massachusetts
scholar when ho took them down still more
by modestly suggesting : ' "Perhaps- had
better do It for you. " He began with
Charlemagne and went through thelist
without a break , much , to the-astonUliment
of his German hosts and. the delight of
Consul Edwards and-the other , Americans.
"How did you do It" asked Merrltt , . "Oh.
my father had a taste for such things and
taught them to mo when I wns , a boy and
you see they are sometimes useful to
know , " he replied.
THE MINISTER SATISFIED.
A Pertinent Inquiry Iteinoren u Tein-
liornry Doubt.
The clergyman was nervous. There could
be no question about that. His duties were
nt an end , but he hung around the receiving
party and his actions showed that he was
troubled. Ho appeared to bo endeavoring
to convince himself that everything was all
right , but without success.
Finally he tapped the young man In knick
erbockers on the shoulder and led him to one
side , relates- the Chicago Post.
"Pardon me , " he said , shifting uneasily
from ono foot to the other , "but thereIs a
matter of some delicacy that I wish to speak
to you about. "
"Yes ? " returned the young man , Inquir
ingly , i
"Yes. " replied the clergyman. "I trust
you will take no offense. It is trlflo un
usual , but "
"Was the wedding feD too smalli" asked
the young man , as the clergyman hesitated ,
"Not at all , not at all , " returned the
clergyman promptly. "You see , the fact of
the matter is that at the last minute I be
came somewhat confused bewildered , as It
were , by the novelty of. Uie situation and I
would llko to be assured that I got every
thing all right. "
' 'Why , of course you did. "
"When It camoito that question of love ,
honor and obey , you know , I was afraid
The clergyman paused for a mlnuto and
then he blurted , out : >
"You're the groom , aren't .you ? "
"Certainly. " .
"ThenIt's all right , and , you , liavo nojdea
tiow that relieves me. You seeI , have , never
officiated at ono of thcso bloomer weddings
before and I was afraid I might liavo made
a mistake. "

forty-eight hours. In training In tha woods

the morning trains from the country. Dan
Stuart , Joe Vendlg and other alleged oftlclals
will make a superhuman effort to keep the
crowd here n few days longer , but these en

llef Is that the whole thing Is a most mis
erable fiasco , and any stories the "push"
may concoct will be liberally discounted.
So far as If can gain from observation

\ can see no possible clmnco for a fight to

now guarding the hallway leading to Manor's

ED PASO , Tex , . Feb. 13. The big fight Is ,
postponed until ] Moiiday at the eatllest , and
when that day > comes the future of the mat
ter will bo .detcrmlrted. . Julian paid a visit
to Mahcr late tonight. Inspected his eyes
and after a .conference decided that ho would
let the fight be JiAstponed until Monday with
out claiming" A forfeit. If Maher Is net
In shape to flghl at that time Julian will
decide as to what 'he will dd regarding his
forfeit. Although Julian talks about his for
feit he really could do nothing else than
agree to the jip tppncment. for he has not
a cent of money , .up as forfeit , all .of his
$1,000 forfeit tiding deposited by Stuart pe'r-
sonally. EveST II Ke demands the forfeit
money. It wllUgoito Stuart , none of It com
ing to Jullan oriir-.tzstnimons.
Maher came to"the city on the C:30 : train
tonight. Hltf-'eyes were tightly closed and
he wore a groehb shade over them. Over
the green shaHe1 was a traveling xap : with the
visor pulled SJown close upon the nose to
pVevent the Hlghtn from striking his oyos.
'He ' was compelled to allow * Connelly and
Hall to guldo'lilm ' to the arrla'ge , as he. was
uttdrly tmablo-'J'to ' open his eyoi. Th'e car
riage Was qlftckljri driven to axllttle brick
building on an'alley Just off the plaza. The
newspaper representatives were sent for by
Connelly " 'and MiHer's eyes wore Inspected.
They xvero awqllen , almost shut apdwater
9
so1 thick' when'hewas going0 through his
'training , that visitors complained" It nnd
warned Mnlier' ' against continuing 'work In
an atmosphere of dust. ' Sunday one of his
eyoa began to pain. Reports came down
that' ho' had sand in tlio members , but that
It'tvould only'temporarlly InconVenlenco tilni.
Tuesday both eyes' were affected and the-co-n-
Ultlon of the Irish lighter hag' bedrV getting1
worse , until yesterday he could -not see.
Maher's trouble Is * not uncommon in this
region. Residents are not so liable to It as
these who have been hero but a short time.
The alkali dust creates an Irr.tatlon that
.results . in blindness and great pain , but it
usually passes away In a week or ten days.
An army surgeon wno"oxamlned , Maher's eyes
yestorrtcy said ho thpught they would be well
In a week. Dr. Yandell , city health officer ,
who looked at the , sufferer tonight , said
Mdbe'r would not be able to enter the ring
for a.week. , ' x
The following was posted about town to
night :
"Owing to a.tpmporary affliction of Peter
Maher's eyes , tno contest will have to bo
postponed a few days , "
This was agreed to after Julian had exam
ined the eyes of the : Irishman and had a
conference with Qulnn and Connolly.

men of the I < cngtio of Atncrlctn Wheelmen
Imvo gene home , after an nn < eniblv which
for hard work and Its effect upon the fit-
lute of the league nnd of bicycling In gen
eral wll ! long bo remembered. Among the
most Imp TtAnl nf UR rtsulM nro the nboll-
tlon of clny 11 , the determination tiint tha
league shall retain control of cycle racing ,
Increasing fees for function" , which It is
hoped will result In forcing otitMdo cliib
to join thu league : the adoption of nu
merous ru'vs for the better regutatlon of
racing , nnd n general strengthening up all
nrotiml In the league's poMtlon This ha *
been done \\lthout the creation of any hard
feelings nmoinr the members , and the meetIng -
Ing has been marked by the notable ab
sence of anything In the shape of ncrl-
muiy. The old administration gnva way
moit gracefully to the now , nnd those who
were unable to accomplish what they came
here to do pocketed their defeat with a
smile nnd promised to do the best they
could anyhow. By leaving It tn tno execu
tive committee to adopt a plan looking to
the selection of the place for the nnnual
meet , without leaving ; It to n vote for the
convention , n. disturbing element had been
eliminated from future gatherings of this
nature. From the talk In the convention
during the discussion of the nmion , It
seems probable that the executive commit
tee will derldo to leave the selection of the
place for the meet to n vote of nil the mem
bers of the league , the ballot to be cast
In January of each year. The mantle of
chnrlty was thrown over the shortcomings
of Cnbnnne nnd Titus , nnd almost the final
net of the meeting was the practical reduc
tion of their sentence from Ufa suspension
to suspension for one > car.
There were not moro than half a hundred
dPlegatca present when tno notional con
vention was called to order today , most of
the others having gone home. The most
Important step taken wns the. appointment
of a committee of live , consisting of
Messrs. Dean. Massachusetts ; Cossum , New
York : Harder. Pennsylvania ; Cullmore ,
Texas , and Perkins. Connecticut , to con
sider nnd report on all appeals for rein
statement.
The discussion of the proposed amend
ments to the constitution was resumed , and
the following wns adopted :
Providing that all national committees ,
except lliofc on auditing and local organi
zation , shall be appointed by the president ;
making the fee that must accompany appli
cations x > f clubs for league membership $2 :
requiring such clubri to forward n list of
all their members , designating those who
arc members of the league ; requiring that
members belonging to more than ono club
shall designate which club they will vote
with ; allowing the president to appoint a
cleric , nt a salary of not over $1,000 per
annum ; making the bond of the treasurer
f5,000. In-tepil of $2.000.
Considerable discussion wai had on an
amendment designed to limit the voting by
proxy. It was finally decided unanimously
to restrict such voting by limiting the privi
lege to delegates who shall be members of
the same division nnd subdivisions as the
delegates giving the proxy.
The cpecial committee on the. . racing
board's recommendations regarding appeals
for reinstatement presented Its report. The
following were recommended for reinstate
ment : U. Perlcer Itlch. Harrlsburg , Pa. ;
Hobert J. Jobln , Now Orleans ; I. . . A. Ryer ,
Jersey City ; A. W. Cleaver , Chicago ; Al

Henry Perry , Oregon : C. a. Desmond , Iowa ;
R. A. Hunt , Kansas City , and O. F. Robeit-
son , Plattsburp , N. Y.
The report was unanimously adopted.
Mr. Mott offered nn amendment to the
convention designed to altcr the manner of
selecting the place for the midsummer mccv.
After full dlscusslpn It was detei mined to
refer the whole matter to the executive
ccmmlttee.with Instructions to arrange a
plan to settle the question In advance of the
next convention. , t
Amendments were adopted providing that
chief consuls shall report tne financial con
dition of their districts at the end of every
six months ; to provide for the organization
of division clubs composed of "unattached
members. "
An hour's discussion ensued on nn amend
ment designed to fix the cost of sanctions
to non-league clubs. It was decided to In
crease the fees to $25 for national circuit
meets , $10 for open race meets , and $3 for
each additional day. and $2 each for nth-
lotlc meets scheduling two events , all league
clubs to have sanctions without cost.-
Messrs. Sams. Cossum and Potter were
appointed ! a special .committee to arrange
for thai incorporation of the league.
.Other amendments were : , , To dcllne .the .
( TuUes , pf/the'Jiew , , local urbanization com
mittee ; permitting the racing- board to
grant "auctionsfor Sunday racing In di
visions which have voted to permit such
racing ; pronouncing as unfair and ungenUe-
manly a.nythlnp which disturbs a rnce meet
ing , which fulls to pay entry fees ; pro-
vldfns that members removing from on =
'division to 'another shall pay 25 cents for
.new membership.
This finished the list of amendments to be
considered , and Mr. Potter of Now York
created u sensation by making a motion
that the racing board he required to remove
the edict of life suspension from Fred J.
Titus , convicted of conspiring with Murphy
and Cabaniie to "fake" a rnce. Mr. Potter
made an earnest pea ! for Titus , and an
other dolegnto'inoved to Include Cnbanne In
the exemption. There was some discussion
and the convention finally decided to ask
the racing board to reduce tne sentence In
both cases to suspension for one year.
After some further and unimportant bus
iness had been attended to , President Wllll-
son made a brief address and handed over
the gavel to S. .EKIott. his successor , after
which the convention adjourned sine die.

NEW YORK , Feb. 13. It wag generally

these In charge of Defender , and bad of

. At this point. Secretary Oddte read a

CINCINNATI , Feb. 13. When tbo patrol
wagon dr&vo to the Jail door on Sycamore
street this mornlnrt to Jake Jackson and
Walling to tlio police curt there waa a
curious crowd on the sidewalk to catch such
glimpses of the prisoners as could bo had
as they mounted the stairway from tlio Jail
door to the sidewalk nnd crossed the walk
to the wagon. Both were handcuffed , but
they entered into no conversation ns they
met for the first tlmo for several day * . They
were driven quickly to the city hall nnd were
placed In cells until they should bo
called for their hearings. Meantime a moat
unusual scene was wltncsicd In and about
the court rooni. There was a wild struggle
for admission Into the llttto temple of police
Justice , and nil the hallways adjacent were
Jammed with men and women who were un
able to even look Into the doorway of the
court room. An extra detail of ofllcero was
necessary to keep the crowd from degenerat
ing into a mob.
It was a long time before the prisoner ?
were brcught up for examination and the
process was very brief. They both waived
examination and were ordered to bo com
mitted to jail without bond on the charge of
balng fugltlvc from Justice , and the case
was continued until February 18.
When the commitments were being pre
pared the men were returned to their cells1.
Sheriff Plummor of Newport will nt once
apply to the governor far a requisition for
the prisoners.
Both Jackson and Walling were repre
sented by attorneys. The charges preferred
against the prisoners were murder and
fugitives from Justice. Upon suggestion of
Attorney Mercy , who represented Walling ,
the charge of murder waa withdrawn and
the other charge left against them. It Is
understood this signified an acquiesce-nco by
the Cincinnati authorities In the theory that
the murder was committed In Kentucky , and
no resistance would bo made to the demand
for their removal to the stale for trial. It
has been thought all along that the prospect
of .lynching , which has generally been re
garded as likely In Newport , will bring one-
or the other man to the point of furnishing
the missing link In the chain of evidence ,
namely , the cabman who drove them with
their victim to the place of murder.
William F. Wopd , whoso' case was also
set for today , and 'who was out on bond ,
did not appear when his .naino was called
nnd his bond was promptly forfeited. Sub
sequently he camet In and his case was con
tinued until the 25th , and he was locked up
until a new bond can be given.
Jackson , In nn Interview ! In Jail tonight ,
said he was perfectly willing to go to Newport -
port , and In case heYns lynche-J Walling
would be also , and there would be the sat
isfaction that the guilty life went out with
the innocent "one. Walling said substan
tially the same thing , premising Jackson's
would bo the guilty lite.
INCREASING THE REWARD.
The mysterious murder , of Pearl Bryan
lias sioveral more clews. An umbrella handle
lias been found near the scene of the mur
der and a handleless razor has been found
In Walllng's trunk. There is n , reward of
( GOO offered by , two morning papers and $50
l > y the owner of the 'farm on which tlio mur
der was committed for the dlcovory of
Pearl Bryan's head , with , a prospect of $500
moro from citizens of Grecncastlc , Ind. , mak
ing $1.150. This , with the 'Intensifying ' In

the water is being drained out of the canal
and tomorrow the search will begin In Its

Sheriff * Plummer of Now-port , Ky. , has
gene to Frankfort , Ky , , > for a requisition-for
Scott .Jackson and Alonzo M. Walling , the
mon In jail hero jointly Indicted by tbo
Campbell county grand Jury for the murder
of Pearl Bryan. The charge against Walling
and Jackson way phanged here today from
murder to "fug'.tlve from Justice , " for the
abandonment of jurisdiction by Ohio and
facilitating their extradition to Kentucky.
The prisaners will contest extradition.
The 'authorities and the people of New
port feel aggrieved that there should bo fear
of the prisoners being lynched. The sheriff
says ho can take care of the prisoners and
tbat If he Hilda danger of a siege and the
Newport jail not strong enough to withstand
It , he can remove them.
Jackson has received a. touching letter
from Mrs. Mlnnlo J. Post , his sister. It
Implores him to tell his lawyer the whole
truth. "Tell It to him nt once , my brother ,
and bravely abide the consequences , " she
says ,
The Incarceration of William Wood for
complicity in the abortion nnd in procuring
poiaon surprised the young man. Dr. Rut
was adverse to going on his bond again. His
counsel , David Davis , said it was better for
him to be in jail. Counsel did not attempt
to get bond for him. Wood la very Indig

ORGANIZING FOR A LYNCHING.
INDIANAPOLIS , Feb. 13. A special to the
Sentinel from Muncle , Ind. , says : A letter
received in this city discloses a plot to lynch
Scott' Jackson , Alonzo Walling , William
Wood nnd the Casker brothers. It Bays that
nt least 4,000 meji will take part In the
killing. There now llvo In Mnnclo three
families who formerly resided In-the moon
shine district of Kentucky and western West
Virginia. They are members of the moon-
fhlners organizations , which it is said ha :
over 3,000 members. This morning ono of
these men received a letter Instructine llio
thrco to , taKc part In tlio lynching. The
letter stated that the mob would bo furnished
with rlllef , nlso that a paper had been
secretly circulated In Newport , Ky , , and
1,500 men had signed It , signifying thulr
willingness to Join -moonshiners , it was
further said that unless the murderers were
taken to Kentucky a mob of 4.00U would
bear down on the Cincinnati jail , armed
with rifles and lynch the men. The Gaslior
brothers are supposed to have rowed Pearl
Bryan down the Oh'o river on the night of
the murder. The man who claims to liavo
received the Information wn& once a moon

as icauested.

Stomach troubles are so common and In
ninny cases so obstlnato to euro that people
are apt to look with suspicion on any rem
edy claiming to bo a radical , permanent euro
tor dyspepsia and indigestion. Many such
prldo themselves on their acutenesp In never
being humbugged , cbpecUlly on medicines.
This fear of being humbugged may be car
ried tooifar ; so far , in fact , that many per
sons suffer for years with weak dlgoftlon
rather than risk a 1 ttlo tlmo and money In
faithfully testing the claims of a prepara
tion si reliable and unlvuinally lu-cj iia
Stuart's Dyspepsia TabloU.
Now Stuart's Dyspepsia Tablets are vastly
different In ono Important respect from ordi
nary proprietary medicines. ' , for ttio reason
that they are not a sscrot patent medicine ;
no secret is mudo of their Ingredients , but
analysis shows them to contain \tio \ natural
digestive formentn , pure aseptic pepsin , the
dlgc3tlva acliU' , Golden Seal , bismuth , hy-
drastla and nux. They arc not cathartic ,
neither do they act powerfully on any organ ,
but they euro Indigestion on the common
Bsnse plan of digesting the food eaten
promptly , thoroughly before It IIIIH tlmo to
ferment , Hour and caiisd tlio mischief. This
Is the only secret of tholr success ,
Ciirthartle pills never huve and never can
euro Indigestion nnd stomach troubles , bo-
cauivs they net entirely upon the bowels ,
whereas the whole trouble Is really in the
tjtuart's Dyspepsia Tablets , taken after
meals , dlgoat thu food. That la nil there Ute
to it. Food not digested or half digested
U poison , as It creates gap , acidity , head
aches , palpitation gf tlio hrarti low , r ( lesli
and appetite and many other tniiihloy which .1 ]
are often railed by BOIUO other name ,
They nro old by druggists everywhere at
50 cents per package. Address Stuart Co. ,

druggist for it. _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _
