It beginning to wonder "where they are

nothing of moment touching the campaign
has been done ; they have been holding to
the belief that the Uranmcr Injunction

MASV ASPIHH TO WIM.IAMS * SHOHH ,
At Iimnl Ten Cntidlilnlr * for tinHc -
linlillcnii .Nomination.
There Is no lack of candidates for the po
sition of county commissioner for thn third
district of Douglas county , the district now
represented by 0. II. Williams , whoso term
of oITlco expires next January. Thn district
Is the largest In the county , comprising , ns
It docs , nil of the country precincts except
Mlllard , McAnlfc , Douglas and Clontart.
There are iilno precincts In the district and
there arc ten candidates for the republican
nomination. Most of these assure tliclr
friends that they have a "cinch" and nearly
all of them arc getting around over the
county at n lively rate hunting for voles.
Every precinct except Kast Omaha nnd West.
Omaha has one or two candidates , hut the
two named Imvo not developed any aspir
ants for the position up to this tlnio.
In Florence precinct the present assessor ,
Robert Vorgey , thinks liu Is entitled to pro
motion. In Union precinct Zach Kills and
Mlle Hall , both farmers , are In the race.
Kills Is making an active canvass , whllo
Hall Is rather passive. In Jefferson product
I'elcr Mangold and John Kllnkcr , both farm
ers , arc rival candidates. Omar Whitney Is
the only candidate who 1ms developed In Elk-
liorn precinct so far. Frank Whltmorc , fa
miliarly known as "Doc , " Is a candidate
from 1'latto Valley precinct. He Is a brother
of the republican candidate for regent of
the state university. In Waterloo precinct
there Is but ono candidate , a fanner named
Seafuss , who Is making an actlvo canvass
for tbo nomination , Chicago precinct pre
sents two candidates. Henry Denkor. a Ger
man farmer , and It. L. Livingstone , who
has been rather active In politics for several
years.
With a candidate In nearly every pre
cinct , and with. two candidates In several
of them , a strong tendency 1ms developed to
unlto on a man who Is not already In the
field. With this end In view a number of
the most Influential property owners In the
several districts have been holding confer
ences wllh a vlow of settling upon some
man who could unite all the elements now
scattered by the presence of so many can
didates.
There ore not to exceed five of the can
didates who ore regarded by these farmers
as desirable meu for the position of com
missioner and a number of objections have
been expressed to several of these five ,
hut It Is generally conceded that these- men
have a strong hold upon the voters of their
several precincts and It Is regarded as
doubtful if a compromise could be effected
among these candidates. A number of people -
plo have asked G. H. Williams , present
commissioner , to become a candidate , but
they Imvo so far received no encourage
ment from that gentleman. He ban told
each delegation that ho has received the
most generous treatment at the hands of
the people of Douglas county and has no
deslro to beroma a barnacle upon the re
publicans of the county. He says that
when ho was a candidate for the olllce of
commissioner of public lands and buildIngs -
Ings he was given tbo full support of Doug
las county and he announced at the time
that ho would not be a candidate for the
office of county commissioner this fall and
intends to- stand by the statement then
made. Mr. Williams has Informed his
friends , however , that If no compromise
con bo effected among the various Inter
ests In the district and a strong candidate
nominated , and If the people of the district
deslro mid Insist that ho make the race
for tho. election , he will lay aside his per
sonal preference and place himself at tbo
disposal of his constituents.
It Is conceded by tbo people of the Third
district. ; that , tie ) nominee on the repub
lican ticket must be' a strong man , as
the * democrats and jpopullsts are making
a vigorous campafgn" the .Indications
are' that they will unite' on a man. . Tbo
democratic candidates at present In the
Hold are- John Hall from Valley precinct ,
Tctor Hofcldt from Chicago precinct and
William Olmstead from Union. The popu
lists have only two candidates In the .Held
at present. Benjamin Knight of Union pre
cinct , a former member of the Board of
County Commissioners , and William Os-
berne of Elkhorn precinct. Olmslead. the
democratic aspirant from Union precinct ,
has been e. candidate for election as county
commissioner several times and has made
a strong run on several occasions. Hu as
sorts ho has a "dead cinch" on the nomi
nation , and It Ii ( conceded that ho Is
"strictly In It" as far as the democratic
nomination Is concerned , but the tall : effusion
fusion between the pops and the demo
crats In the district adds an element of
X'nccrtalnty to his proapccts , as the popu
lists are pushing Hen Knight to the front.
Mr. Knight Is regarded as n capable man ,
but his old ago Is considered his greatest
drawback. So far as Is known , nothing
has been done as yet In the direction of n
fusion on commissioner , but strong efforts
are being made In that direction.

The amount of Ignorance prevailing among
the mass of voters as tu the meaning of
the term , "Free silver at 1C to 1 , " Is sim
ply startling. The Impression which pre
vails among a very great many of the people
ple who will cast votes for president this fall
Is well Illustrated by an Incident which was
observed on ono of the corners down town
where Idle worlclngmen congregate to dls-
cusss politics and things generally. A few
days ago tbo usual crowd had gathered
at the corner In question and the discussion
soon drifted around to tha stiver question.
Ono or two of those In tbo pary admitted
that they were Ignorant of the meaning
of the slogan of the silver men , "Free sil

waa there and be quickly volunteered to

Blsted on tolling the crowd about the beau-

Postmaster Kuclld Martin returned from
Now York City yesterday , where ho went
to meet his family , returning from a year
spent abroad. Mr. Martin's views on the
sound money question are well known , and
he occupied n great portion of the time
whllo away In feeling the. political pulse
of those with whom bo came In contact ,
"I had no difficulty In finding a multi
tude of eastern people who were not only
willing , but anxious to talk upon the po
litical situation , " sold Mr. Martin. "From
the baggage smashers at the depots to
prominent men whoso opinions go along
ways In shaping the minds of the people
I found an Interest displayed as regards the
western sentiment upon the money ques
tion which was surprising. It had not
dawned upon the minds of the eastern
people for an Instant until the time of the
Chicago convention that tbo democratic
party would Insert the silver plank In Us
platform.
"When this was done the head men of
the party were astounded and condemned
It universally all over the eastern states.
The masses are now giving the subject
serious study nnd the further they Investi
gate the matter the more Indignant the
democratic volets become that the western
states should attempt to foist such an out
rageous policy upon the party at largo.
During the entire time I was absent from
the city I did not meet ono democrat who
expressed himself as being In favor of the
platform as adopted at Chicago. On the
other hand theyi heartily condemned It
with ono accord and are now looking ahead
for the next turn of the political wheel ,
which they hope may bring salvation for
the party.
"Voters * high nnd low questioned mo
closely In regard to Mr. Bryan's former
affiliations with the democratic party ;
whether ho was not a populist In policy ;
whether ho had not been nominated at the
convention by a clique of this party , who
utilized a moment of misdirected enthusi
asm to swing the moro sober-minded dele
gates into lino. Many of the people whom
I met asked me who Mr. Bryan was and
wanted to know why the general public
had not heard more of his political career
In the past and what great political achieve
ments bad been credited to him that be
should now pose as the representative of
the western states.
"I met whllo In New York Hon. Don Dick
inson of Detroit , ex-postmaster'general under
Cleveland during the president's llrst term.
He had Just returned from a visit with
President Cleveland at Gray Gables. Ho
said ho had talked at considerable length
with Mr. Cleveland as to his views on the
financial question , but that ho had refrained ,
as heretofore , from expressing them. Mr.
Dickinson said there was no mistaking tbu
president's opinion' 'on' the subject and that
he would bo found upon the sound money
side upon tbo expiration of bis term of qt-
flce.
flce."Mr.
"Mr. Dickinson expressed himself as op
posed first , last and all the time to silver
coinage at the ratio of 1C to 1 , and declared
flatly that ho would not support tbo party In
any such movement.
"In Boston I met lion. Mr. Jenny , chair
man of the democratic state executive com
mittee , and he expressed himself along the
same lines ns In the conversation hold with
Mr. Dickinson. Whllo I think there are still
democratic voters In the cast who will cast
a straight ballot for the party this fall , the
opposition party Is steadily on the Increase
nnd forms one of no mean proportions.
"Tho Interest of the eastern men has re
vived considerably of late , due to the call
for a meeting of the national democratic
committee at Indianapolis August 7. having
under advisement the organization of a third
party. Letters have been sent out to the
central democratic committees ot every state
In the union and a delegation from nearly
every one of them Is expected to bo In at
tendance at the meeting. Who the coming
candidate will be for this party Is yet a
matter of conjecture , depending entirely
upon what action the national committee
takes in connection with calling a national
convention. The lenders ot the movement
refuse to discuss the subject at any length
until after the preliminary steps at In
dianapolis have been taken , nnd then It Is
understood that a number of prominent
eastern men will be placed In the race for
nomination. I am of the opinion that a third
party , organized at this time , will meet with
the support of the majority ot democratic
voters all over the east , with nearly the same
proportion among the western states. In
case the party Is launched , all thoughtful
members of the old party will have a chance
to study out tbo problem until November ,
and It Is the opinion of those supposed to
know that with tbo exception of a few west
ern silver states Bryan's support will dwindle
down to a corporal's guard. "

The hanging of Claude Hoover on Friday
of this week for the murder ot his brother-in-
law , Sum Dubols , will make the fifth legal
execution which has taken place In Douglas
county since the county was created.
The first ovoiit of that character occurred
August 21 , 1863 , when Cyrus Tater was exe
cuted by Sheriff Suttou for the murder ot
Isaac H. Neft. Neff was In business In Den
ver and had come to this city to get n load
of goods. There came with him n man
named Cyrus Tntor , a lawyer who was finan
cially broke and who had volunteered to
Work his passage. When the twain reached
Omalm they went Into camp on the bluffs
abnvo the city , near Sulphur springs , Just
about where Locust street Is now. Nett's
outfit consisted of n heavy wagon and four
yoke of oxen , He purchased n bill of goods
ot Nave & McCord and Intended to start on
his Journey west the next morning. That
night n party ot emigrants camping on the
flats near the Neft camp heard the clanking
of chains on the bluffs In the vicinity of the
Neff camp. Soon afterwards they saw the
heavy wagon come down the stc p Incline
and disappear In the darkness , going to
ward the river. A short time afterward
the wngon came back and returned to the
Nolt camp , where It remained until the next
morning.
The next day Tater sold the oxen and
bought some mules. Ho wont to Nave .t
McCord'a for the bill of goods Neff had or
dered nud In reply to Inquiries sold Neff had
gone cast to visit friends. Tater loaded the
goods Into his wagon nnd started west. Two
days after ho was gone the dead body of a
man , which afterwaids was recognized as
that of Ncff. was found In the river near the
foot of the bluffs chained to a log. Suspicion
at once rested on Tater nnd Sheriff Sutton
started west on his trail. Tater was cap
tured near Columbus and was brought back
to Omaha. In the rear of the wagon the
floor was found saturated with blood and
shreds of hair still adhered to the boards. A
trial was speedily had and Tater was sen
tenced to be hanged Just two months nftcr
the commission of the crime. Just before
the trap was sprung Tater called upon God
to witness that ho was Innocent of the crime
for which ho was to be executed. W. Pitt
Kellogg was the Judge of the district court.
Charles H. Brown was prosecuting- attorney
and W. A. Little and A. J. Popplclon were
the attorneys for the defense.
The scaffold was erected on the spot
where Neff's wagon had stood when the mur
der was committed , which was on the bluff
above the Sulphur springs , almost opposite
fapoucer street of the present time , Lotbrop
street being to the north and Wlrt street to
the south.
SECOND LEGAL. HANGING.
The second legal execution In Douglas
county occurred February 14 , IgfiS when
Otway H. Baker paid the penalty of the
law for the murder of W. D. Higgins a
watchman In the store of W. R. King &
Co. , near the southeast corner of Twelfth
and Farnam streets. About 1:30 : o'clock In
the morning of November 23 , 18G6 , the store
of King & Co. was found to be In flames.
Mr. King and others broke into the build
ing and found the porter , Baker , shot
through the wrist. The man said he had
been aroused by the crackling of the flames ,
and , going to the basement , ho had meta
a man , who had shot him and then made
his escape. The people went to the sleepIng -
Ing room of W. D. Higgins. who slept in
the store , and discovered that bis skull had
been cleft open with nn axe which be
longed In the store. Baker was arrested as
nn accessory to the crime and the coroner's
Jury recommended that he be held to the
district court without ball. The grand Jury
returned an Indictment against him in April ,
18G7 , and the trial was commenced May 1 ,
following. The Jury In the first trial dis
agreed and another trial was had at the
October term of court ot the same
year.
The prisoner was Convicted and a mo
tion for a new trial 'was overruled. The
case was taken to the supreme court and
whllo It was pending there Baker confessed
his guilt. Ho was hanged Friday. February
14 , the following year , the scaffold belns
erected In the ravine near Dodge and
Twenty-sixth streets. The surrounding hills
afforded a good vlow of the execution and
no attempt was made to keep the people
from seeing the entire proceeding , Not
withstanding the cold and wintry weather
several thousand people gathered on the
hills to witness the execution.
Aaron Hocl was then sheriff. Judge G.
W. Doane was the Judgs of the district
court , John I. Rcdlck waa the prosecuting
attorney and Baker was defended by Judge
Savage , W. H. Morris , G. C. Hopkins , Beu-
Jamln Sheeks and M. H. Parks.
ED NBAL THE THIRD.
The third legal execution was that of Ed
Neal. who was hanged for the most brutal
murder that was over committed In this
county. In February , 1890 , Allen and Dor
othy Jones , aged respectively 71 and GO years ,
were found murdered on what was known
as the "Pinney farm , " near Seymour park
and about three miles west of South Omaha.
The farm was the property of Dr. Pinney of
Council Bluffs and he had leased It to a
man named Cadwollader , who had agreed
to take care of a bunch of blooded stock be
longing to the doctor. Being unable to
remove to the farm at once , Cadwallader In
duced the aged parents of his wlfo to take
up tholr residence there for a short time
in order that the stock might not suffer.
The old people went to tbo farm about tbo
middle of December , 1889 , and wore visited
regularly by Cadwallader. who kept them
supplied with provisions. February 2 , 1890 ,
Cadwallader visited the farm and found the
old people all right. His wlfo went to sco
them February 11 and found the place rto-
serted. Thinking the old people might
have gone on a v'slt ' to their eon neur Ir-
vlngton. the daughter thought nothing of
their absence , but returned to her homo
In Council Bluffs.
The next day the son came down from
Irvlngton nnd his suspicions were aroused
by findlnrj that the stock was all gone. Ho
went to his sister's house In Council Bluffs ,
nnd It was determined to make a strict
search of the farm. This icsulted In finding
the body of Allen Jones burled In the ma
nure heap near the cowshed and the body
of Dorothy Jones was found In a stack of
millet. Both hod been shot a number of
times. The horses were found In Davis'
livery stable In South Omaha and It was
found that the cattle had been sold at the
stock yards. Suspicion at once rested upon
the man who bad sold tha horses and cattle
and ho was traced 10 Kansas City , develop
ments showing that ho had remained about
South Omaha and Omaha for several days
after the crime was committed. He was
brought to Omaha February 23 , and was
tried In the month of May of tbo same
year. Ho was convicted oftei n trial lasting
ten days and was sentenced to bo hanged
October 10 , 1S90 , The case was twice taken
to thn supreme court on appeal on different
allegations of error , but the lower court
was sustained. Efforts were made to have
the governor Interfere , nnd Governor Thaysr
held a long conference with the condemned
man In his cell at the county Jail , but re
fused to Interfere with tbo carrying out of
the decree of the court.
Just before the fatal noose waa adjusted
about Neal's neck he confessed that ho had
committed the crime , unaided by any one.
Judge Joseph R. Clarkson presided at the
trial , T. J. Mahoney was the prosecuting
attorney nnd the attorneys for tha defense
were Lee Estello and William flurley.
LAST LEGAL EXECUTION.
The last execution waa that of Clinton
E. Dlxon , a trumpeter of the Sixth United
States cavalry , stationed at Fort Robinson ,
In this state , who was condemned to be
hanged for the shooting of Corporal John
R. Carter. The commanding olllcer of the
post bail ordeicd Carter to drive two dis
reputable nejro women from the confines of
the post and In doing so Carter was obliged
to use physical force. Thla angered Dlxou ,
who was on Intimate terms with one of
the women , notwithstanding he waa a white
man , and appeared to have considerable
Intelligence Itii went to Carter's quarters
the cvenlDjy ot September 30. 1891 , nnd
asked Carter to step outside , na ho wished
to speak to him. Carter compiled and the
door had no sooner closed upon the wo
mt-n when ' { hoge Inside litard a shot. Hush
Ing out they found Carter on hla knees ,
with his arms around the waist of Dlxon ,
whd was trying to get nway , Carter asked
his companions to seize Dlxon , saying the
latter had "phpl him , Dlxou still held the
smoking revolver In his hand with which
the act had been committed. He was put
tinder arrest and was tried In the United
Stales coii/P tti1 tlita city In the following
December. llc"Kvas found Rtillty nnd was
sentenced to be hanged by the United
States marshal on April 22. Preparations
were made to have the hanging take place
on the court house square In the same place
where Neal was hanged , but the county
commissioners refused to allow tbo execu
tion to take plnco there. Marshal Slaugh
ter then attempted to have the ocntfold
erected on thn block now occupied by the
now postofllce building. To this objections
wcro made from several quarters and the
superintendent of the grounds refused to
nllow the scaffold to be erected thero.
Dlxon was granted a renplto by President
Harrison until May 20. When this data
arrived the Methodist general conference
was In session In Omnba and the execu
tion was delayed another thirty days by
the president/ When the day set for the
execution again rolled around the Masonic
grand lodge , of which Marshal Slaughter
was grand master , was In session In Omaha
and the president granted n further respite
for ono wrclc nnd the murderer was finally
executed Juno 24 on the court house
grounds , the county commissioners having
reconsidered their action In refusing to
nllow the execution to tnko place thero.
It was at this execution that the electric
push button wns first used In springing
the drop. Three buttons were used , two
being pushed by n deputy and the third
by Marshal Slaughter.

OMAHA FOR HEADQUARTERS
Western Work of the Volunteers May Bo
Directed from Hero.
TRAINING SCHOOL IN CONTEMPLATION

Omaha Is likely to ho known as the gen
eral western headquarters of Balltngton
Booth's American Volunteers. Already the
uork of this Institution has progressed with
a marked degree of success In this city ,
and , the chief ofuccrs recognizing this , as
well as the central location ot Omaha , nro
likely to glvo a great deal ot attention to
this city and the work here. It Is alto
gether probable that a training school for
the men nnd women who deslro to consecrate
crate their lives to Volunteer service will
soon be established here. Whllo no defi
nite plans hnvo been made for this school
It Is understood that the work will consist
ir.nlnly of bible teaching and training tor
Volunteer mission work.
The Omaha post of the American Volun
teers was organized two mouths ago by
Staff Captain Baker ot Burlington , la. Ho
Is the commander of the battalion which
Includes tbo posts ot Nebraska , Iowa , North
Dakota and South Dakota. He effected a
strong organization of Christian workers
nt the start , a number of recruits coming
over from the Salvation army. In a short
time ho secured quarters for holding the
meetings and the largo tent on Fourteenth
street , just above Dodge , has been well
filled nightly and tbreo times on Sunday
since then.
Captain Baker was followed In the local
field by Captain George ot Topeka , Kan. ,
who was sent hero by the commanding
officers to continue the work of organiza
tion and aid the Omaha post lit every way
possible. Ho remained hero seven weeks ,
and was followed by A. S. Palmer , M. D. ,
who Is In charge of the work nt present.
Dr. Palmer Is the special state organujr
for the west and conies from Chicago. Bc-
fore coming hero bo was engaged In the
work at Sioux City nnd Lincoln. Ho was
engaged in mission work In the former
city when the army of the Volunteers was
organized and his mission there was at
once merged Into the movement. He was
In the capital city for five weeks , where
his work was crowned with rich success.
He left there to como to Omaha , being suc
ceeded by Captain George.
CO-OPK'RATE WITH THE CHURCHES.
While the work of the Volunteers Is In
many respects similar to that ot the Salva
tion army. It Is conducted , In ninny ways ,
along different lines. The members of the
Salvation army depend largely on their own
resources nnd rely a great deal on the
merit of personal experience. On the other
band , the Volunteers endeavor to cooperate
ate with the churches and tbo pastors and
nil the Christian workers of the city In
which they are established. They aim to
work with the Young Men's Christian asso
ciation , the Young Women's Christian union ,
the Woman's Christian Temperance union
and other Christian Institutions. In Omaha
the movement has been closely connected
with the People's church , and Pastor Sav-
Idge and the officers of the local post have
worked hand In hand.
There can be no doubt but that the Volun
teers are hard workers. For Instnnce , Dr.
Palmer , the leader of the Omaha post , yes
terday preached no less than five times In
the morning , nt the People's church ; In
the afternoon at the service at the county
jail , then a ssrmon In the Volunteers' tent ;
In the early uvenlng , a lengthy street servIce - :
Ice , followed by another hour of preaching
at the tent.
Considering its Infancy , the movement In
augurated five months ago by Balllngton
Booth has attained wonderful proportions.
Over 1.700 recruits have been enlisted in
the noble work , and 150 officers nro em
ployed in the nrmy. The Gazette , a weekly
publication , has a circulation of over 20-
000. The Advance , the monthly publication
containing the music and hymns of the
army , also has a large list of subscribers.
LOOK FOR BALLINGTON BOOTH.
The Omaha workers are Just at present
looking forward with great Interest to the
western trip of Commander Balllngton
Booth and Mrs. Bnlllneton Booth. They
will leave New York City early in October
and visit the posts in Minnesota , Sioux
City , Omaha , Lincoln , Topeka , Kansas City
and other western cities. It Is expected
that a great amount of good will bo done In
the movement by the personal efforts of
these Americans , whoso work for God nnd
humanity has attracted so much favorable
notlco throughout the country.
That the Volunteers recognize tbo worth
of good , wholesome recreation and are In
sympathy with what today appears to bo
the most popular form ot out-door exercise
Is shown by the following editorial from Sat
urday's Issue of the Volunteers' Gazette ,
of which Commander Ballington Booth Is
edltor-ln-chlef. The editorial Is In reply to
tbo resolutions Indicting In harsh terms alt
female bicyclers , circulated by the Women's
Rescue league , recently convened In Wash
ington. The editorial In question follows :
"Wo do not doubt that some women have
ridden the wheel to excess and thereby
have Injured their health and weakened
their physique. , but that the majority of
riders will form an 'army of Invalids , ' to
say nothing of rldlnir of wheels provlntf a
medium to swell the ranks of 'reckless
Birlsl and the 'army of outcast women , ' is
a suggestion too utterly void of founda
tion ro merit sober countenance. The wheel
has taken thousand : ) from tbo smoke , dirt
and evil society of the city to the pure atmosphere -
mosphoro and healthful. InvIporauiiK mir-
rnundliiRB of the country , and our friends
should remember that where ono Instance
can bo quoted where physical harm 1ms
been done , a hundred can be named where
direct heneflt from the use of the wheel has
been pulned. No ! No ! Where the wheel hi
used for a rlsbt and legitimate purpose It
Is u great , good nnd beneficial Institution. "

Frank .Jacques of the band was attacked
by nervous prostration about 12 o'clock yes
terday. Ho was found by First Sergeant
Chaplns of company A In the wash house
lying on the floor. Sergeant Chaplns told
Jacques to get up and go to dinner , Ho
wont out looking all right , apparently , but
was found on his bed looking more dead
tban nllvo. Ho wns soon brought nround ,
although he has lost control of his vocal or
gans and Is very weak. Ho wrote very
clearly as follows : "I went to the wash
room and was taken suddenly ill. Mv kno-K
gave out from under ir o. Ut Ing mo fall st Ik-
Ing my chin on the corner of the washbowl.
Then I must have fallen over on the floor ,
dtrlklng my head rather hard. The next
thing I remember was Sergeant Chaplns
telling mo to gut up , which I did and man
aged to get down to bed , but I cannot talk. "
Jacques says he was troubled years ago with
headaches that rendered him unconscious ,
but was never attacked this way before. Ills
chin Is badly cut from striking on the wanh-
bowl , Jacques la very popular with tbo
boys.

The annual ontlng of the Elks , belter
known on the mysterious lodge room cal
endar kept by these good fellows as the
"Occasion of the Hlft Annual llnth , " which
was held last Saturday at Lake Mnnawa
and Manhattan beach , was a hummer from
start to finish. To bo sure the shock pro
duced by the unadulterated water of the
lake produced a certain goneness within
the anatomies of sonic , but this was
quickly counteracted ) with something on
the side.
The first delegation started out shortly
nftcr 2 o'clock , leaving from Fourteenth
and Farnam streets. Ono ot the big , long ,
open cars of the street car company hid
been placed at their disposal and this was
decorated with flags nnd streamers , both
within and without. It was packed from
front to roar. The front seats were occu
pied by the Twenty-second Infantry band ,
which added considerably to the enjoyment
of both the afternoon and evening.
The start wns made amidst the lively
strains ot a galloping piece ot music and
whoops from the throats ot the hitherto
considered paragons of dignity , the business
nnd professional men Included In the pnrly.
The run across the river and through Coun
cil BlufTs around the loop was uudo to
the same accompaniment. The car fur
nished more fun to the small boy ot Council
Bluffs than n circus with nn elephant , nnd
created ns much havoc among unhitched
teams. Everything was taken In good
spirit by the Inhabitants ot the burg across
the river , however , and- Its men smiled
nnd Its women looked their sweetest upon
the boisterous occupants ot the car.
After the run through the town tbo party
wns carried to the- end of the Mnnawn motor ,
where a train was boarded for the lake.
The band was fully Imbued with the spirit
of the occasion and outdid Itself. U played
selection attcr selection almost without in
terruption along the run and on the steamer
until Manhattan bench was reached.
After alighting from the boat tha merry
makers took In the elephant on the bench
In nil Its phases nnd tackled some ot the
other beasts with a vim that certainly was
commendable , but somewhat disquieting to
the pockcthooks ot the party.
It was late. In the afternoon when Colonel
Sharp sang :
"Brothers , may I go In to swim ? "
"Yes , my dnrllng brother , " cnmo the
chorus , swelling In a mighty diapason from
the throats of the Elks that had gathered
about him. To the uninitiated the words
were frivolous. To those who uttered them
they were full of mysterious portent and
meaning. In their cars they quivered with
solemnity. They were the signal for the
"Big Annual Bath. "
With measured step and with minds bur
dened with the thoughts of the ordeal and
the unmixed water that was before them
the "best people on earth" disappeared
within the bath houses nnd reappeared n
short time later transformed. With nil
their physical charms outlined nnd made
doubly striking by their vivid drapery they
marched with halting steps to the brink
and with groans plunged In.
"And the band played on. "
For nn hour they disported In the wnve-
lets of the lake and they came out purified
and rejuvenated Elks.
By this time a considerable number of the
brethren had arrived on later motor trains
and the party numbered nearly 150 when
seats were taken about the dinner table.
Delicious fried bass nnd chicken , vegetables
and drinkables disappeared like magic.
During the afternoon and through the din
ner the spirits of the brethren mounted
gradually to the climax that ensued when
High Cockleloruiu George Cronk thumped
a bottle on the table and called for order to
set the wit rolling. His voice was drowned
In cheers and It was some minutes bcforo
ho was able to distinctly call out the name
of the first speaker. All the remarks were
mightily applauded , as they should have
been , because they were well worth it. Dr.
Lee in particular tore the crown of thorns
from Bryan's head and stole his nom de
plume. In addition to Dr. Leo. Dr. Coffmau ,
Frank Lea Short. George W. Shields , W. B.
Taylor , W. D. McIIugh and J. B. Sheean
were down for toasts.
The evening was devoted to singing , listen
ing to the band music and In various other
ways. As the night advanced the brethren
gradually departed for home and left the
beach In gloom nnd darkness once more.
Among the out-of-town Elks who took part
In the enjoyment were Ted Pciuberton of
the Kansas City lodge and Moses P. O'Brien
of Walla. Wash.

At the conclusion of the services yester
day at the First Baptist church the con
gregation was taken completely by surprise
by the resignation ns pastor of Rev. Wil
liam P. Helllngs. Dr. Hellings stated that
ho bad received a call from tbo First Bap
tist church of Jnmestown , N. Y. , and after
mature deliberation he had decided to nc-
cept It. The resignation as tendered desig
nates October 1 aa the date upon which
ho will yield up the pastorate of the local
church. A mcGtins of the members of the
church will bo held Wednesday evening
for the purpose of taking action upon Dr.
Helllngs' resignation.
Dr. Hcllings stated In connection with
the matter that most kindly feelings ex
isted between himself and the congregation
and as far ns ho wns aware nlwnys had.
His resignation had been prompted to a
largo extent on account of the small pas
toral field which the church occupied at the
present time , due somewhat to its cramped
quarter. ) in the temporary structure located
at Thirty-fifth nnd Farnnni streets. Upon
leaving his pastorate at Lockport , N. Y. .
four years ago ho made a "written contract
with the olllcials of the church In this city
that the old edifice located nt Fifteenth nnd
Davenport should bo sold and n new build-
Ins erected in n moro appropriate locality.
Matters bad been In such shape at the
time that It was found Impossible to dis
pose of the property ti > good advantage
and services had been continued there until
the advent of the lire which swept the
structure out of existence. Slnco tlmt time
it was found impracticable to Kell the lot
upon which the church formerly stood , and
upon the sale ot that devolved the erection
of a new building at Thirty-fifth and Fur-
nam streets. From the present outlook
Dr.'Helling * thought the object bo came
west to accomplish wns several years In the
future , and although ho feels assured that
the churdi will be built 1m feels that a
yaungur man should direct the formation of
the now pastorate which a now edifice will
create.

The police made n rapture early yesterday
morning by the merest accident which It Is
hoped will be Instrumental In breaking up
the "fuming Street Gang , " which for years
has given the force a great amount of trou
ble. Some time ago n man named Mcsscr * *
smith requested tha police tu nld him In
keeping his boy , Ralph Mcsscrsmlth , homo
nights. He requested that the police glvo
the boy n scare the first tltno they caught
him out late. Enrly yesterday morning the
officer noticed the boy on tbo street , and
though there was nothing suspicious In his
actions , thought ho would follow the father's
odvlco and glvo the boy a scare which might
Induce him to stay at homo In the future.
Starting toward tbo young fellow and calling
upon him to halt he wns surprised to sea
him take to his heels as though something
was wrong.
The officer gave chase nnd the flying youth
stumbled nnd fell. Something dropped from
beneath his coat , but the fugitive did not
wnlt to recover It. On reaching the spot
the olllcer noticed the paeknges dropped were
three boxes of cigars nnd somu fine cut to
bacco. Divining that the plunder wns the
result of a raid thn olllcer proceeded to tha '
boy's home nnd placed him under arrest.
At the station the youth was nunconimunl-
eatlvo ns to where ho got the cigars and who.
It anybody , were his associates , It wnt
known , however , that several well known
member. ) of this "Cumlng Street Gang , " as
It Is generally known , were with him earlier
In the night and some of them had been seen
with him only n short time before tbo ar
rest. Seven of them were subsequently ar
rested nud plnccd In Jail wllh a charge of
suspicious chnrncters placed against them.
The names of those arrested are John Kelley ,
Eugene Newman , Iroo Longhagen , Henry
Miller , Bruce Austin , Paul Murray and
Harry Dean.
Young Mcssersmlth has not had the repu
tation of being n particularly tough boy nnd
has never been lu any trouble before so far
ns the police nro nwnro of. Ho has boon
training some with the tough element , but
until the present case has kept out of trou-
ulc. The officials have hopes that through
him , now that ho Is In trouble , they can get
a hold on tbo rest of the crowd which will
effectually brcnk It up.
The gnng Is the terror ot that section ot
tbo city and any ono who hns In tbo past
Incurred Its displeasure has had n hnrd
road to travel , nnd when drinking It wns
apt to start a row with any ono who hap
pened along. Many potty and several seri
ous crimes have been charged up to It ,
but beyond thn charge of fighting , assault
and other misdemeanors the police have
never been nblo to get a hold on It here
tofore.
It was learned yesterday that a Missouri
Pacific car bad been broken into some tlmo
Saturday night nnd n quantity of cigars of
the same brand as those dropped by young
MesBorsmlth In his flight stolen.
