Upon second consideration It was decided
ho city hall would afford Inadequate ac
commodations for the large crowd which
vould probably assemble to offer congratu-
atlons to Mr , Hryan , and the east sldo of
hit county court house was selected as a
nero fitting place for the delivering of the
speeches Numerous suggestions were
nade as to the manner ot conducting the
reception , among which was ono contcmplat
ni ; n large procession , headed by a band
which should meet him nt the depot nnd
from this point escort him to the speakers'
stand This was upon the supposition that
Mr Hrjnn arrived In the city on the 7 45
irnin. As no arrangement to this effect
tiad been made , however , no action was
taken In the matter , and It was rcfeired
to the committee on reception. It was
also suggested that Major Hroatcb should
deliver the address ot welcome , nnd this
Idea will probably be carried out. All

The local populists who attended the Grand
Island convention are jubilant over their
success In turning down the middle-of-the-
road pops and sending a Ilrjan delegation
to St Louis That this Is a part of a scheme
which contemplates the endorsement ot the
populist htato ticket by the Drjan demo-
< rats Is freely admitted , and It Is intinntcil
that 111 j an has entered lute a Ocal whercbj
ho Is to deliver the Nebraska demociats to
the populists in jeturn for populist endorse
ment at St. Louis
George A. Maguey and J. M. Klnney. who
assisted In leading the Moan cause In tbe
Douglas county delegation , stated ycstcrdaj
morning that the program Indicated would
certainly le cirrlcd out The populist conven
tion at Hastings would renomlnate Gov
ernor Holcomb by acclamation and the dem
ocrats would cndoiso him , as v.ell as the
bulk of the populist state ticket
How this program Is regarded by the ad
ministration demociats may easily bo Im
agined They assert that the icsult will bo
to make the campaign a direct Issue between
republicanism and populism , and that It will
cause more than 15 000 Nebraska demo
crats to vote for McKlnley and the repub
lican state ticket They declare that to
have their party turned over to the pops In
two successive campaigns Is moip than the )
can stand , and that thousands of democrats
who voted for Holcomb two jears ago will
Join them In rebuking the 'ctlon of Bryan
and his supporters In selling out the part }
organization to piomoto his personal ends

Among the rumors that are being assid
uously spread by some of the local free
sllverltcs Is ono to the effect that President
Perkins of the Burlington road subscribes
to the Chicago platform and Intends to sup
port Ilryan and the free silver ticket
Auditor J. G Taylor of the Burlington
wrote to Mr. Perkins telling him of the
currency of this report nnd received the
following letter promptly by return mall
which ought to set at rest nil doubts as to
Mr Perkins' opposition to 1C to 1 free silvei
coinage

It If wholly untrue I am , as most of

lism , and I approve and shall supiort the
di claratlon of the St Louis convention
pledging the republican party to do what It
can to bring about an liucinatlon.il bi

In mj opinion there Is no other way to
git bimetallism
Kre'o coinage hern without International
agleemunt would result , , IH I think , In slj-

not In bimetallism , and It would probably
put off bimetallism for many jo.ns J < lo

The populists hero npo not well satisfied
tiy the nominating ; work done by the Huron
convention They nilinlt tliat Andrew Leo
of Virginia Is n ctrong nominee for gov-
crnor , but the feeling Is general that Mel-
\In Grlgsby was turned down as the result
of a conspiracy In whlcli Senator I'cttlgrew
anil II L Loucks were the prime mn\crs
Ever since Grlgsbj's polltlcnl ambition ran
contrary to Pettlgrcw's plans , ten yrats
rgo , Pottlgrcvv lias been trying to accom
plish Grlgsby's political nilii. At that tlmo
I'cttlgrcw said that ho would pursue
Grlgsby to the grave , and in splto of the
fact that Grlgsby had the cnthuslstlc sup
port of his own county and that ho has for
jcars been nn active working populist ,
I'cttlgiow , the new convert to populism ,
succeeded In securing his turning down
Local populists are not at nil satisfied with
the turning down of Grlgaby and his nom
ination for nttorne > general , and while thcro
are no open threats about fighting the
ticket the nomination of Leo Is received
with an > thing but enthusiasm
The feeling Is all the stronger because
I. co refused positively to bo a candidate for
Ilia place , and was only Induced to enter It
liy the persuasions of PcttlRrevv. and In
order to defeat Grlgsbj * Tliero Is n feeling
licio among all of Grlgsby's friends that Leo
lias not treated the Sioux Palls statesman
lionorably , anil this fcc'lng Is sure to grow
unless something affirmative Is done to
oveicomo It
ItKELLEY
KELLEY IS STRONGER.
The nomination of J E. Kellcy of Kland-
reau for congress Is considered to be a
strong one , but his running mate. Freeman
Knowles. editor of the Deadvvood Independ
ent Is extremely unpopular , because of his
radical views on all public questions If
Knowlos Is elected to congress. It Is the
feeling hero that Tlllmnn In the senate will
have to look well to his laurels
The republicans of this county do not
express themselves as In the least dls-
coungcd over the local outlook They
appreciate the fact that with Senator Petti-
grew nnd Judge 1'almcr In open advocacy of
thn populist ticket , that the situation Is a
serious one , but the lenders profess no
anxletv over the result. Alirady many
republicans who liavo been weak on the
monry question , have roino out boldly for
the St Louis platform , nnd the leaders say
that at the end of a vigorous campaign
Mlnndinlm county will be safely enrolled
In the republican column , though by a re
duced majority.

ST LOUIS , July 17 There were but few
arrivals today of delegates to the national
populist and silver conventions , notwith
standing that tbe national executive commit
tee of the people's party will meet tomorrow
to arrange for the meeting ot the full na
tional committee and the convention.
Even H E. Taubeneck , chairman of the
executive committee , is not in the city to
night. He la In Chicago , and there is
much speculation as to the politics ot'hlb
visit "Cyclone" Davis , who has been
mentioned as the candidate of. the middle of
the road populists for temporary chalnmn
has also left the city. It Is rumoied that
ho has gone to Lincoln , Neb , to confer with
\V. J lir > nn , the democratic nominee for
president , and this tilp , as well as that of
Clmlnnan Taubeneck to Chicago , Is for the
purpose of conferring with the democratic
leaders One story Is that they have glvon
up hope of preventing the endoisement of
Tlrjan , and tnat their pioposal now Is to
"make terms " Their desire , it Is stated ,
is to sec that the populist organization Is
maintained , and that the democrats shall
give them a fair share of the ptesldcntial
electors The stor > that Dav Is is en route
to Lincoln cannot be verified
An Interesting controversy la going on be
tween the committees of the populist and
the silver parties , and the citizens' commit
tec over the distribution of funds to deftaj
the expenses of the conventions The citl
zons' committee Insists that the contract for
the holding of the two conventions hen
was made with the popullat committee , and
that the funds was a lump sum .for both
conventions , In other words , the only part }
the citizens' committee had any dealings
with was the populists , and the silver men
are unknown to it , so far as expenses are
concerned , ami the silver men must look to
the populists for aid In that line. If they
get any. The sum to be devoted to the
populists by the citizens was $10,000 , and
that Is all they get.

A comical Incident occurred just before
the convention The band which led the del
egates to the opera house was asked to play
"Marching Through Georgia ' while marchIng -
Ing Unfortunately for the plajers two dif
ferent sets ot music. In different kejs , were
passed to the members , and when the piece
was stirted It was rather a dlscor.lant tune.
No one knew what was the matter except
Lho pro tern leader , who soon discovered
the mistake livery member tried to re
cover , abandoned the music to play by ear ,
but it was too late And It was frequently
roinatkod , good natuiudly , that the organ
isation should have known better than to
try "Marching Through Georgia" at the
liead of a populist organbatlon
Governor Holcomb , Hon. W. H. Thompson
and W L Greene addressed the public last
night In the open air from n temporary
speakers' stand The affair was oilginally
Intended as a nonpartlsan reception to Hon
W. H Thompson It was quickly turned
Into a populist rally , however , and after the
parade , which consisted of the band , sonui
hoys with torches and not over a dozen men ,
W . L Greene made the first main address
About 1,000 people listened to the arguments
and statements piesentcd , and qulto frc-
quontli there were vociferous cheers
It Is Interesting to note tint not once
during the convention , at any time , or bj
any person , was any reference made to the
"robber tariff" or the protective policy of
the republican parly.

Tint J. H M6mnns of Dcnlson will be the

clusion. Ilomans i Is n wealthy hardware
merchant and has been a life-long repub
lican , but he'hns also been a steadfast ad
vocate of thfl free coinage of silver. It
appears to be'scttled beyond dispute that he
will bo nominated by the democrats and en
dorsed by the populists While the Tenth
dlstilct has elyen Dolllver as high a ma
jority as 5 001) , It s asserted that there are
more than 2iOO republicans In the district
who favor fruo silver and who will vote for
Ilomans If this Is the case and the sound
money democrats can be held In line for
Ilomans , the latterrwlll be elected. On the
other hand , the rppubllcatts assert that If
this scheme Hiwellumderatood the democrats
who are for sound money will rally to the
support of Dollivcr and the loss of free sil
ver republicans will be fully compensated
In gains of demociats Of coiibe , It Is im
possible to form anything like an accurate
estimate at this time of the extent of the
disaffection In the republican or demo
cratic ranks upon the financial question , but
The Dec correspondent has positive know
ledge that there are a number of piominent
and influential democrats In this city who
liavo stated In so many words that as be
Uvccn Dollivcr and Ilomans they will un
hesitatingly support Dolllvcr and that sound
money democrats will do the same. Tree
silver republicans are more conservative ,
and while holding fast to their convictions ,
they do not siy they will bolt the nomina
tion. The fact Is undeniable that In this
( Greene ) county , theie are a laige number
of good republicans who are on the fence
upon the question of finance They want

Among the wondrous stoiles ot the cast
told us by travelers of past ages , sajs the
Olohe-Dcmocrnt. none have seemed less
credible than those they hnvp left us of
some of the feats of magic or Jugglery wit
nessed by them In this mvsterlous land of
marvels In olden times the direct Inter
vention of the evil ono was sufficient to
explain these and every other seemingly
supcinatural performance It was the devil
who enabled Simon Hagus to make statues
walk , who helped him to fly , to pass through
fire unscathed and to change nt will his
shape , just ns , at the present day , he aids
the Shamans of Northern Asia and the
medicine men nnioni ; our Indians The sav
age crowd Is satisfied with the explanation
vouched and seeks no farther. Not so with
us. While we have abandoned the faith ami
scorn the superstitious credulity of our
forefathers , still we feel the need of some
other form ot belief In which we can find
plausible , If not satlsiacory , explanation
for the seemingly uncatui } or supernatural
munlftstations which oftentimes occur be
fore us. So , nt the present day , hvpnotlc
suggestion Is offered ns the explanation of
these wondrous tricks , and were It not that
they are reported to have been witnessed
at one and the same tlmo by Inige numbers
of persons , all of whom cannot be supposed
to have been Influenced , or , at all events
Inllut nee.d In a like degree by the hvpnotlc
Influences , the mjatery which lungs over
some of these performances weio peihnps
uolved , such , however. Is not the case , and
thcbo tricks remain , so fur as I am aware1 ,
unexplained.
Thcie Is In the narratives of several of
the Oriental writers who have witnessed
these tricks ev Idenco that they , also , mis-
belle ved the testimony of tl'clr sense's and
"ought an explanation In the existence of
what we now call h > pnotlc suggestion
This Is cspeclnllj the case In the remaiks
made by the Mohammedan Judge to Ibn
Hituta , nnd In the story of "The Planting
of the Pear Tree " b > P'u Sung-Llng.
GOOD ENOUGH TOR TODAY.
The most wonderful of thcbo tricks nnd
that which remains to the present day the
most completely shrouded In iu > story ,
though of Its actual perfounance , ut least
In times gone by , there appeals to be little
doubt. Is that which Is Hist mentioned by
tlu Arab traveler , Ibn Hatufi , who visited
China In the fourteenth centuiy While la
the piescnt city of Hang-chou , not fai
from the great emporium ot the east
Shanghai , he was cnteitallied nt n bilin.nct
by the viceroy of tbe province , and this Is
how he describes what occurred
"At the banquet were present the Khan' ,
jugglers , the chief of whom was oideied
to show some of his wonders He took a
wooden ball , in which there were holes , and
In these long thongs , and thicw It up Into
the air until It was lost to sight , ns I my
self witnessed , while a thong remained In
his hand. He then commanded one of his
disciples to take bold of and to ascend by
this thong , which he did , until ho also went
out of sight. The conjurer then called to
him three times , but no answer came , be
then took a knife In his hand , as If In n
gicat rage , laid hold ot the thong , and ills
appeared also By and by he threw down
one of the boy's hands , then a foot , then the
Othei1 hand and the other foot , then the
tnrik , und finally the head Ho then came
down himself , panting for hieath. and his
clothes stained with blood , and kissed the
ground before the viceroy , who spoke to
him In Chinese and gave him some order
The Juggler then took the limbs of the bo >
and put them one to the other and gave
them a kick , when the boy htood up 10111
pletc and erect I was dumfoiindcd , and
was acl/ed In consequence with a palpita
tion of the heart , but some cordial was given
mo and I recovered The ha/I ( judge ) , who
was sitting beside mo , swore 'Wallah , theie
was noltl er climbing up or coming down ,
nor tutting of limbs , 'twas nothing moie
than jugglery ! '
The great Mogol Jehangulr , who suc
ceeded his father , Akbar , In 1C05 , has left
In his autobiography a long and Interest-
Ins account of the wonderful feats once
performed before ! him by seven Juggleis
from licngal. The feats he witnessed were
twenty-eight In number , among them be
ing two which , taken together , constitute
the ono deseilhcd previously by Ibn Hatuta
"They produced a man , " hays the em
peror , "whom they divided limb from limb
actually severing his head from his bed >
They scattered these mutilated members
along the ground , and In this state they
lay for some time. They then extended a
sheet or curtain over the spot , and ono of
the men , putting himself under the sheet
In a few minutes came from below followed
by the Individual supposed to have been
r-nt Into joints , tn perfect health and con
dition. "
The other trick Is described by Jehangulr
as follows '
"They produced a chain of fifty cublcs In
length and In my presence threw one end
of It toward the fcky , whcic It remained as
If fastened to something In the air A dog
was brought forward , nnd , being placed at
the lo\vci end of the chain. Immediately
ran up , and reaching the other end , dis
appeared suddenly in the air. In the same
manner a hog , a panther , a lion and a tiger
wore ono after the other sent up the chain ,
and nil disappeared In the same way at the
end of It "
Though various European travelers In
Asia , among whom I may mention Tavei-
nler , Hcrnlcr , Kryer and Ovlngton , refer to
this piece of Jugglery as being performed In
India In their time ( seventeenth ccnturi ) ,
only ono ol them , Edward Melton , claims
to have actually seen It perfoimed whllo at
llatavla , In Java , on which occasion ho HOVH
"It was witnessed by thousands " Hn tells
of It nearly In the words of Ibn Ilatuta ,
adding that so astonished was ho when ho
behold this wonderful performance that lie
"doubted no longer that thcsn misguided
men did It by help of the devil "
AS RONE I1Y AH SIM.
Lot us turn now to the Chinese version of
this performance , which I find In the latter
part of the seventeenth century , and so
admirably translated by llcibcrt Ollis under
the title of "Strango Tales from a Chinese
Studio " The storj as told by the Chlnpse
author Is too long to reproduce In full here ,
but briefly It Is as follows-
When a little boy P'u went to the pro-
fectural city ot bis department for the New
Year's festival , and while standing around
the Judge's residence , where all the officials
were seated In state , clothed In their robes
of ceremony , there came a man and a boy ,
who asked permission to perform some
trlchs This having been granted them the
man was asked It ho could produce some
peaches , and to this he * assented , saying'
"There la , snow on the ground , wo shall
never get peaches hejo , but I fancy there
are some up In heaven In the Royal Mother's
garden , and thcro vvu miut try " With thin
ho took from the box hu carried with him a
cord bcvcml tens ot feet long , which , having
carefully arranged , he threw one end of It
high up Into the air , where it remained as
If caught by something Ho now paid out
the rope , which kept going up higher and
higher , until the end he had thrown up dis
appeared In the cloudu nnd only a blioit
plcco was left In his hands Calling hU
son , he bade him c ° up at once and hu ran
up the rope like a spider on a thread of Its
web and was soon loat to sight In tb * doudn
IIy and by a huge peach fell down and wn *
handed by the Juggler to the officials Hut
just then down cumo the rope
and the affrighted father shrieked out ,
"Alas ! alas ! some one has cut the rope ,
what will my boy do now T" ami In another
minute down toll something else , which was
found on examination to bo Ibo boy's head
After that bis arms , his legs and body came
down In Ilka manner , and the father , gath
ering them up , put them in the box and
said : "This was my only son , who accom
panied ine everywhere , and now what a
cruel fate la bill I must away and bury
him. " Ho then approached the dais , on
which sat the officials , and said :
"Your peach , gentlemen , was obtained nt
the cost of my bo's life : help me ( o pay
his funeral expenses , and I will bo very
grateful to > ou" The officials , who had
been watching the scene with horror ami
amazement , forthw Ith collected a good purse
for him , and when ho hail received the
money , ho rapped on tlio box nnd said , "Pa-
pirh , why don't jot ! come out nnd thank
the gentlemen ? " Whereupon thpro wa n
thump on the box from the Insldo and out
l came tlio boy and bowed to the assembled
" company.
The only travelers who have , to my
knowledge , within our time , claimed to have
witnessed this trick nro two gentlemen from
Chicago , whoso account was given In the
Chicago Tribune gome tlmo In 1S10 It
was nt Onya. In Dengal. that they wlt-
lussed the mango trick and the OIIP I have
described previous ! ) , their account of the
Inttcr differing only from It In that It ended
with the boy disappearing In space after
having climbed the rojio thrown Into the
air The two travelers arranged that one
of them should innko pencil sketches ot
what ho saw. whllo the other nt the same
moment would take a snap shot ot vvhnt
wns occurring with his kodak , the result
was that In no case did the camera rccnnl
the man clous features ot the pcrfoimnnce
"Lrsslng's sketch of the boy climbing the
twine Is evidence that hu saw It but the
camera sava there was no boy and no twine
Prom which I nm compelled to bellevo that
my theorv Is absolutely correct that Mr
l-'nklr had simply hjpnotl/ed the entire
crowd , but could not hvpnotlze the camera '

In the lasf Icttei of the seiles , dated
Juno 2J Sceietary Olnij devotes himself to
answering Lord Salisbury's statements re
specting the Rcneial arbitration proposition ,
beginning with the statement that our gov
ernment cannot refinln from hoping that
pcislstint ifToit In the line of the pending
negotlitlons will have rc'sults which If
not all that the enthusiastic advocates of
International arbitration anticipate , would
bo a decided advanie upon anything here
tofore achieved In that direction lie re
fers to Laid Sallsbmy's plea for fieedom
of action as meaning deliberately to rcjeet
an award after entering on an aibltratlou
and PIJH ; bis lordship's leal position is that
there Hhall be no K > inline aibltiatlon at
all , there shall be tin usual forms and
ceremonies , also so-iallid arbitration con
vention hearings , evidence and arguments ,
but , ns a grand result Instead of a bind
ing adjudication , onlv an opinion without
legal force or sinctlon unliss acrepted by
both parties. The vital difference between
the two pioposalB , he havs Is manifest.
Under the lirltlsh plan tbe parties enter on
at hitratlon and determine , whoa tluv know
the result , whether they will be bound 01 not.
Under the United States propo al the par
ties enter into an arbitration having de
termined beforehand Hut thej will bo
bound The latter Is a genuine arbitration ;
the former Is a mcio Imitation The pin I
of Lord Salisbury Is that all the forms and
ceremonies of arbitration Hbould be giino
thiough with , but with llbeitj for eltln r
party to reject the award If not to Its lik
ing It is icbpcctfiilly submitted that a
proceeding of that sort must have n tendency
to bring all arbitrating Into contimpt tint
a party to n dispute should decide lo nbl lo
by an nward before entering Into in nibl-
tiatlon , or sho'ild decide not to enter Into
U at all , and , onee entering Into it , should
bo Irrevocably bound.
