RECEPTION TO THE VISITORS.
A reception was tendered the visiting sing
ers at Washington hall last night During
the earlier portion of Iho uvciilug hundreds
paused Into the big reception hall and few
jvent out until the festivities were brought
to an end ut an early hour this morning.
The affair was thu success that only the
most saugutuo of the local committee ex
pected.
The brilliantly illuminated hall presented
a picture of beauty. It had been most ar-
tlatleally decorated with the American Swe
dish , Norwegian and Danish flags of nil sizes
and In acMltlon the walls , balconies , stage
and the chandeliers were festooned with red ,
blue , jcllow and white drapery A huge
banner , bearing the simple word 'Welcome , "
greeted the guests as they entered.
The visitors brought their wives and fem
inine friends with them to swell the attend
ance , so that throughout the night all the
halls In the building were filled. Many ot
the women took advantage- the occasion
to appear In national c isttiraea The qt alntly.
fashioned colored dresses and the qualntei
headgear , together with the peculiar shaped
caps of the male guests , Imparted a flavor
to the affair that sa\orcel much of the fath
erland across the waters.
At S o'clock the alre-ady large assemblage
of guests was called to order by the chair
man of Iho arrangements committee , John
Nordwall He spoke * n few words of wel
come and then Introduced Mayor llroatch to
extend the hospitality of the * city to the visItors -
Itors In his remarks he stated that he be-
llo\cd that the rain god had obtained en
trance Irti ) the city last night tinder false
pretense. ! . IIo thought that in place ot Ak-
Par-llen II , alias Jupiter Olympus , Jupiter
I'luvlus had secured the kes nf the city
This happy expression was seized upon by
Mayor llroatch In response. He assured the
visitors that the reign of the god , whoever
ho might ho , was n brief one. With the
morning his glory all vanished , and once
moro the rltlreus ami other people of the
city , visitors Included , and especially the
singers , assumed thu equal rank of princes
and would bo treated as such. With this
Introduction he figuratively presented the
ku > s of the city to Ihe singers
I're'sldent Charles Johnson of the Associa
tion , who Is also a citizen ot Omaha , re
sponded In a few words to the welcoming
speech. Ho ulso assured the visitors , in lie-
hnlf of the local Scandinavians , that they
were welcome ) to everything that the local
men had.
ruASUHis OP TIIC HVUNINQ.
Following the speeches , the Norden SingIng -
Ing society of this city extended a welcome )
In a new song , the worus of which were
wrltleii by John H 1'lerc-c and thu music
by Adolf IMgrcn The production was en
titled "Omaha s Welcome to the Northvvcst-
< rn Scandinavian Singing Societies. " The
composition was a pretty bit of harmony and
was excellently rendered flic soprano and
bass solos In It were taken bv Miss Moeller
and A. Jaeobsen , icspectlveiy. The rendi
tion was so acceptable to ( he audience that
It was sung again , and > et the club was
compelled to respond to another encore.
Thu evening was then tniten up In a de
lightfully Informal manner Tables were
provided In one portion or the hall , while
the other was left open tor a promenade
The guests vi ere therefore offered plenty
of opportunities for social Intercourse nnd
enjoyment From time to time individuals
were called upon for rcmarKs or the singing
societies or the union band for selections ,
and , thoroughly Imbued with the spirit of
the occasion , every one responded.
The guests were not. however , confined to
any one paitlcular form of enjoyment. If
they desired to bu apart , rooms were set oft
for their accommodation Thus card looms
and rooms for other amusements were pro
vided. Thcso were as well filled us the
larger nnd main hall , wherein the majority
of the guests remained. Refreshments were
served during the night.
It was near midnight when the big hall
was piopaicd for the banquet. Long tables
were set , upon which were heaped any quan
tity of good things to eat and drink. A
couple of hours were spent about the boards
In feasting and In listening to those vvhc
weio called upon for toasts This portion
of the affair was as Informal as any other
part. In fact , Informality was the delight
ful feature of the whole function
Hvcn before the tables weio cleared the
dining room on thu second lloor was put Into
shape for dancing. As the hours went by
the younger people and many of their elders
whi-led through the mazes of the dance
The dawn was not far distant when the final
number was played and the guests regret
fully dispersed.
This morning at 0 o'clock the convention
ot the association will bo called to order
In Washington hall. The session will con-
tlnuo until the business before the body Is
tiansicted but It Is believed that adjoinn-
incut will be taken early In the afternoon.
Immediately thereafter the singing societies
will rehearse again in preparation for the
concert tonight.

AMUSEMENTS.
At Hod's theater last night the Culhoun
Opera company made their third appearance
in this city this season. The opera chosen
was "Fra Dlavolo , " composed by Auber
H Is a woik which has been pel formed for
man } jears in all pnits of the world , and
la not a novelty Some of the singers heard
last night weio not exactly now , cither , but
with stage experience comes skill in action ,
even If some freshness of voice Is lost. It
was an ambitious efToit , considering the
material nt bund , and all concerned can be
credited w Ith great conscientiousness. The
Interpolation In the second act of a song
by David very nicely sung , however , b }
Alice Johnson ami of the "Sextette" from
"Lucia , " by DonUcltl , was hardly in good
taste , although the company did Its best
vocal work In the latter number. Nothing
Is moro to bo desired In music than that
the public shall bo given an opportunity
to hear leal works of art , but companies
that attempt such works should not try
to splice un oil painting with a water color
or stop up a hole with a slice ot eraon
portrait. The most Interesting period of
the performance , not only to the brigands ,
but to the audience , was the chamber scene ,
and particularly that part of It In which
Kcrllnn prepares for bed. Truly Alice John
son Is an aitlst In preparing for bed. Had
Lord Alcash been present anone can guess
what ho would have said ,
Mr. Dunbar made a very creditable Fra
Dlavolo , and Mr. Langlols a good Lorenzo ,
but he should remember that a soldier's
voice should not tremble. Eddie Smith did
splendid work in the last act , and the rest
of Iho cast was Interesting. Much credit
Is deserved by the hard working conductor ,
Mr. Rolenbcrg.
Two performances of "McSorley's Twins"
are announced for the Crclghton today , n
popular priced matinee at 2 SO and this
evening's performance at S 15 The numer
ous specialties , quick action and bright dia
logue of this production are succeeding In
thoroughly pleasing Us auditors , which have
Increased nightly , and the two closing pcr-
foimances of the engagement will in all
probability see a continuation of that gen
erous patronage which has characterized the
entire stay.
The "bargain day" matinees at the Hod
will bo Inaugurated this afternoon , The
Calhoun Opera company will present "Km
Dlavolo. " The advance sale has been very
largo. "Tar and Tartar" will bo sung by
the company this evening.

Hrct Harto's romance of the mountains , will
bo given hero for the first tlmo Sunday

the principals of which are eteayed by
Marry Maluliall , Charles H Haw kins , Ettha
Williams , Jane Corcoran , etc. The rendition
of various popular songs by the "Gold Nug-
set Quartet" will be found a very pleas
ing feature.
Commencing Monday evening , September
7 , the Hlttner Theater company will open
a two weeks' engagement at Hoyd's with
regular Wednesday. Saturday and Sunday

The socialist labor party held a state
convention at Gardeld hall last night nut !
nominated a full electoral and state ticket
Thirty-three delegates were present , repre
senting Omaha , South Omaha , Lincoln ami
Saulevllle. A siilllclent number of spectator *
were present to swell the crowd to fifty ,
No little enthusiasm was manifested In the
proceeding and while It was generally con
ceded by the delegates that the tlckcl
nominated had hut little prospect of beliif
elected , at the same time the candidates
were selected with as much earnestness as
If all were sure winners
Daniel Do Leon ot New York City , edltoi
of "The People , " generally accepted as the
national organ of the socialist labor part }
of the United States , was present. He de
livered a lengthy addiess while the delegates
weio assembling , explaining the object !
hoped to be attained by the party. Al
though the speaker's language was well
tempered and moderate In the extreme , he
was unsparing In his criticism of the capital.
1st. He characterized the wage earners ol
the United States as white slaves am
his assertion that the United States was tin
greatest slave nation In the world todaj
brought out round after round of applause
IIo recounted the rapid growth of socialist !
In the eastern cities of the country am
predicted the ultimate triumph of the social
1st labor party.
STATi : TICKET NOMINATHD.
The convention was organized by tin
selection of Henjamln niiicnlng chalrmai
and A. C. Swanholm secretary , both o
Omaha. A committee on credentials wai
appointed and after a brief session it repelled
polled the names of thirtj- three delegate !
entitled to scats In the convention ,
The platform of the national commlttei
was endorsed as a substitute for a stat <
platform , there being no distinctively stati
Issue to be discussed In the campaign.
The convention then proceelod to the noml
nation of eight presidential electors. Tin
task was accomplished with consldcrabli
tllfllculty , as each candidate felt it incumben
to decline the honor thrust at him. Aftc :
some good-natured discussion the elector !
were selected as followsF. . M. Couway
J. C Curtis of' South Omaha ; W. H
Daniels , August Hlerman , J. W. Unangst am
Charles Hakcr of Omaha- ; . S. Aley o
Lincoln and Fred Tclckmicr of Saulevllle
Without further delay the convention thei
proceeded to the selection of a stati
ticket. After some persuasion Charles J
Sadllek of Omaha consented to run for tin
governorship. Ho made a little speech o
thanks and promised , If elected , to main
an elllclent official. Fred Herman of Llncoli
was namc < l for lieutenant governor. II <
was not present and therefore the work o
the convention was not delayed by any at
tempt on his part to renounce the ho'nor
Hcnjamin Ilruening of Omaha consented t (
be the candidate for secretary of state
The convention availed Itself of the nliscnci
of Gustavo Telckmlor of Saulevllle am
placed him on the ticket as its candldat <
for auditor S. J. Herman of Lincoln wac
named for treasurer. He wasn't present
Mrs M K. Ilonavan of South Omaha acccptcc
the nomination for superintendent of public
instruction , while P P. Smith of Omah.
was designated as commissioner of publli
lauds and building.
PARTY SHORT ON LAWYERS.
The convention hesitated when It cami
to the selection of candidates for attorney
general and judges of the supreme court ,
H was asserted by several delegates thai
the party contained no lawyers within Its
ranks and that therefore It would be Ill-
advised to fill these places on the ticket
A motion was first carried to leave blank
thcbo three places on the ticket. Then 11
was suggested that the socialist labor part }
might possibly be accused ot holding oul
an Invitation to the democrats to "dicker"
on a fusion deal. With this direful possi
bility In mind the convention hastily re
considered Its motion to leave the places
vacant Hdltor Do Leon suggested that 11
would bo a happy Idea to perpetuate the
memory of some of the dead and gone
patriots of the republic by carrying their
names on the ticket. This Idea was received
with enthusiasm and Charles Sadllek at
once placed In nomination for attorney
general , the name of Abraham Lincoln
Mr Lincoln's candidacy was received with
applause and ho would have undoubtedly
received the nomination had not a cautious
delegate suggested the dilemma which would
present Itbclf In thu event of the success
of the socialist labor ticket this fall. This
suggestion cost Mr. Lincoln the nomina
tion. The convention decided to name bona
fide candidates. Finally Fred Nygard was
induced to accept the place. Andrew Kster-
gaid of Omaha and J. L , Zcrby of South
Omaha were named for /Judges / ot the
supreme court , the former for the long term
J. C. Jucobson accepted the nomination
for regent of the State university , with a
deprecatory smile , but without objection
couched in words.
An executive committee of three members
consisting of Comrade's llenilne , Hlerman
and Sorensen was empowered to fill all
vacancies which might occur and the con
vention adjourned sine dlo.

Henry D Ilstabrook , the orator and at
torney , returned to Chicago today from an
extended tour In the east , says the Chicago
Post. Ho was absent from the city about
a month and spent part of this time at
Long llranch as the guist of General Thomas
T. Eekert
Though Mr Kstabrook Is a republican ami
an ardent McKlnley man ho maintains that
during lib sojourn In New York nnd Wash
ington and In the state of Maryland he tried
to look at the political situation through
eyes which were In no wise- affected by
prejudice. It was his vacation tour , but ho
nevertheless paid bomo attention to the way
things looked with regard to the coming
political struggle. Ho says he Is now per
fectly satisfied as to one thing at least
That is that Mr. Hryan made a very poor
Impicsslon upon people whom ho met and
who met him on his tour In "tho enemy's
country , " and that even those who were
Inclined to support the silver candidate
and wore In sympathy with his bland be
came bllghtly disgusted with him when they
heard him. In other words , Candidate
William J. Ir ! > un cumo and saw , but he
didn't conquer
"Whllo In New York I was caught In that
August snow storm , being there at the same
tlmo as Mr llrjan , " eald Mr. Kstabtook In
speaking of his Journey. "I heard Dourko
CocUrun , too There U no doubt whatever
that New York had been frightened by the
reports from the west telling of William
J. llryan's wonderful oratorical ability. Con-
lequeutly MadUou Square Garden was

Iliyan. There came a sudden and complete
change of feeling In New York. Shortly
thereafter the candidate of the Chit-ago con
vention took to the woods and ban Iwen wan
dering there ever since. The trnln on which
I returned passed him at a lllllo town where
he had previously been received by an Im
mense crowd On his return , however , there
were not twenty people at the station to get
a glimpse of him
"During my month's absence 1 was In
Washington and the state of Marland a
short time I am led to believe that Mary
land will certainly go republican I took the *
trouble to talk with the motormen on elec
tric cars In Cumberland and also In Laurel ,
the home of Senator Gorman. Among these
as well as among all other classes I found
those who would vote for McKlnley far In
the majority In Washington people do not
express their opinions , excepting those who
are In charge of the various bureaus They
become noncommittal and affect to have no

CHICAGO , Sept. 4 The train bearing
the Ilran party arrived In Chicago at 9 20
today , after an uneventful trip fiotn South
Hcud , wheie Mr. Drjnn spoke last night.
The nominee took a train at C 14 this morn
ing , thereby proving his great vitality , he
having iccelvcd callers until after 12 o'clock
last night On board the train were ex-Con-
grcssmaii Shlvcly , the democratic nominee
for governor of Indiana , and Senator Joe
Hlackburn. There wcm no demonstrations
whatever along the line , and but a few
hundred people gathered at the de-pot at
Chicago to meet .Mr and Mra. Hryan
Mrs Uryan will leave Chicago tonight for
Lincoln In order to attend to the starting of
her children to school
Mr. llrjnn spent some time this afternoon
with Chaltman Jones reviewing his letter of
nccLptaiicc of the nomination ot the silver
paity , of which he > will be formally notified
nt Lincoln on Tuesday
Mr Hryan will le-avc tomorrow morning
at S 30 on the Chicago & Northwestern for
Milwaukee where ho will make two speeches
tomoirow on the north and south sides
respectively. Ho will remain over in the
Cream city as the guest of Edward C. Wall ,
democratic national cominlttceman for Wis
consin , returning Monday morning early to
Chicago and leaving at 550 p m In the
evening for Lincoln. Arrangements have
been completed whereby Mr. Hrvan will
speak at St Louis , September 12 ; Louisville ,
Ky. , September 14 , ami Lexington , Ky. , Sep
tember 15.
"I am perfectly satisfied with the result
of my trip cast , " said Mr. Drjan , "nnd my
observation Is not bused simply on Impres
sions formed fiom the rostrum. To ad
dress pooplu by the tens of thousands , as I
have done since leaving Chicago , would
naturally carry with It the Unpiesslon that
the audiences addressed were rntlslied by
the utterances delivered. A < speaker Is apt
to bo carried away by such an idea. Hut
when I say that I am satisfied at the result
of my trip east J do not mean that my ob
servations from the speaker's stand have
led mo to suppose that the largo audiences
I have addressed weiu carried away with
the principles advocated , as their applause
would appear to Indicate. My estimate Is
based on entirely different source's. People
whom I have met nnd who have mingled
with audiences at democratic gatherings
have voluntarily cotno forward , to assure
me that the sentiment was reeling around
toward the demociatlc platform. I have
taken occasion , after leaving the speaker's
stand , to talk with men whpm i have ob
served In the audience as on till ) doubtful
scat , It I may cxpiess inself so.li'egardlng
the currency eiuestlon. Such men have
come to mo afterward and have expressed
themselves as more than half convinced
that the tenets of the Chicago platform
were after all the truest In the popular In-
toiest. Others have come to me , men who
oven disagree with our paity principles ,
and have assured me that the change In
sentiment toward the fic < < coinage ot bllver
was something they had never seen the
like of. Added to this the approbation
which every jiuhllc speaker cannot fall to
discern in the eyes of a sympathetic audi
ence , has convinced mo that a largo proportion
tion of the people whom I have addressed
have been Impelled to applaud , not out ot
sympathy with the speaker , but nut of ap
probation ot the tiuth spoken. If a speaker
bo qualified to judge of the effect of his
speeches on audiences , then I think that
without egotism I may say the people whom
I have mot and addressed arc far more en
thusiastic In favor of free silver than they
were when the campaign begun "

CIIADHON. Neb. , Sept.4. . ( Special Tele
gram. ) Christian science has claimed two
more victims , according to reports , and the
opinion of the major portion of the residents
ot this city. The tiagcdy , which resulted
In the death ot two children of Assistant
Postmaster llanley nnd nearly killed him
self and wife , has simmered down to the
fact that the fire was started from the Inside
and that all the doors of the house weio
locked ; also that the lamp was burning , and
that It did not explode.
Coroner George fill has been busy nil day
on flu case , and , after Impaneling n Jury ,
consisting of J M. Hoblnson , T. S. lllald-
sell , Vred Walker. William Smith , Lew
Weber and Jake Knss , proceeded to view
the remains of the two murdered children
at an early hour this morning. Two phy
sicians were also called In , and , after mak
ing a careful examination ot the building , ns
well as the bodies , the funeral was allowed
to take place at 10 o'elooK. The funeral
was largely attended , and when the coi-
oncr's Jury reconvened , nt 1 o'clock p. m , It
was found necessary to use the large courtroom
house to accommodate
room In the county court
modate the * crowd.
MANY \VlTNnSSiS : TESTIFY.
Nearly thirty witnesses have been
subpoenaed , Including Mr. nnd Mrs. Oatilcy
and It was found necessary lo adjourn until
tonight In order to obtain all of the testi
mony. Mrs. Danley has been for a IOIIR
time a linn believer In the Christian bclcncc
faith , and the fact that 1'riest Stuf/ho ol
New York City has been for some time
predicting the end of the world on Wednes
day , the day of this tragedy leads man }
persons to believe that Mrs. Danley hail
been so far carried away with her Christian
science zeal tint she had determined tc
take all her loved ones with her.
Christian bclence has caused much trouble
In this county up to date. Mrs. J. F. Calk
ins , wife of a newspaper man , had to be
icmovcd to n piivate asylum at Council
muffs. Mrs Ira Deltrlck of Crawford also
tried to commit suicide several times nnd
finally had to be removed to the State
asvlum nt Norfolk. lloth ot these 'cases
were due , beyond doubt , to the Influence
of certain "healers. "
The scientists are greatly worked up over
the nfialr , four leading ones being very
much In evidence nt thu trial today , sitting
around the coioner and giving him advice
as well as they could The citizens are also
much exasperated over the matter.
