SMYTH FOIt CHAIRMAN.
Captain 1'arkhurBt of Douglas county nom
inated C J Smyth aa permanent chairman
and In default of opposition Mr Smvth was
unanimously elected. Thomson of Clay
county , Lannlgan of Greelej and Scott or
UufTalo were designated to escort him to
the chair , where he was received with
marked enthusiasm He said that this convention -
vention met under different conditions from
thi-ae that had prevailed In the past Then
they had met to nominate candidates who
were eure to be defeated , while they were
now to nominate men who were sure to be
elected. Kor the first time in the hlbtorj
of Nebraska the whole administration of
state alTalrs were In the hands of men who
were opposed to republican principles and
republican promises The last legislature
had been led by the purcet motivco and
dominated by the highest patriotism that
had ever been known In the state house
The speaker made the most of the Hartley
embezzlement from a fusion standpoint and
eulogized the present state officials for their
energy lu securing Hartley's conviction In
this connection he took occasion to deluge
himself with bouquets and spoke at length
of the difficulties which be had overcome In
oocuring a conviction of the defaulting
official He made a ridiculous effort to show
that the failure of Judge liaker to be chair
man of the republican state convention was
duo to the ecntenco ho passed on Dartley
Among other benefits that had come to
Nebraska under fusion rule , ho cited the
fact that corn had gone to 20 cents a bushel ,
wheat to $1 Armour bad come to South
Omaha and Paul Vandervoort bad left the
utato Ho urged his hearers not to let their
Joy run away with them however , for J
Sterling Morton had come back. Prosperity
had not come to the country on account of
republican rule , but In splto of It. True
prosperity cpuld never come until the free
coinage of sliver at 16 to 1 wan a cardinal
principle of the government
H P XI Crow and J Q P. Hlldcbrand
of Lancaster county and W. M. Clarey of
Otoo were elected permanent secretaries by

CHICAGO. Stpt. 1. The Interest In the
Luetnerl murder trial was unnbnted today
A majority ot the spectator * were women ,
who hail come cnrly. Outside the court hun
dreds waited In line , unable to enter The
big aiUAige maker , the central figure In the
trial , was apparently In the best ot spirits ,
bctralng no outward effects of the strain ot
' the trial He commented , not In bitter terms ,
on the testimony of his old cmplove. Dhlk ,
the watchman , who , he < ald , was a ilmple ,
ionet man. "He Us an ! gnor.int man. " > ld
Utetgert. "and , like an elephant or bear , can
je trained He has been well trained * by the
x > llcc. "
When the court was called to order , Awi'ht-
ant State's Attorney McKwan announced that
he had authorities at hand on the question *
which were left undecided jtsterday.
whether the visits of Mary Simmering , the
etpe t family servant , to Luttgcrt In the
! actor\ . wan ndmUolblc as evidence , but the
stale would prefer to argue the question
later Judge Tuthill said Blalk could be re
called later Iti the trial , and the queMlon de
cided.
Attorney Vincent then began the cross-
cxamlnitlon ot Blalk and put to him ques
tions regarding his relations with the police
flluco May Ifi Mr McEwan objected , but
Attorney Vlnient declared It would be
shown that Blalk had not been out of the
sight of a policeman for five minutes since
the arrest of Luctgert , and the defense had
not been able tu get a minute's convcrsi-
tlon with him. The cross-examination pro
ceeded and Blalk testified that since Ma >
1G he had been with Officer Kllnger , living
at the lattcr's house and paving no board
He had done no work , but Inspector Schaack
had provided means for his wife to live
and pay rent.
PUT BIALK ON THE RACK.
In the cross-examluatlon of Blalk , Mr
Vincent brought out the fact that previous
to May 1 the watchman had met Luetgert
In different parts of the factor } at all times
of the night. Sometimes , the sausage maker
walked about the building and even lu the
yard at late hours. Blalk ald he regarded
the actions of his emplo > er on the night
ot May 1 as suspicious because he turned on
the steam In the basement at 9 o'clock
This was unusual
U was made plain to the Jury In the
cross-examination that Blalk. from his posi
tion In the boiler room , could have looked
through an opening near the elevator and
have seen Luotgert at the vat In the base
ment. He did not do so , he said because
he knew It would not do i for him to be
caught at It Blalk said that al
though Luetgert had barricaded the door
leading directly from the boiler roam when
he went to the basement there was another
route by which he could hive walked Into
the oasement. He did not HO In because he
said Luetgert had told , him to go back to
his fires after he had .delivered the B cond
bottle of medic'no ' to hiu. ; Luetgert did not
at any time tell him not to enter the base
ment The watchman pSald he could have
looked from the upper7fipors | of the factory
across a court Into the part , of the building
where the vats were and could have seen
Luetgert and his lantcjrn , ut did not do
so.
WITNESS OpORFSKY.
Frank Odorfsky was .then called as a wit
ness. He was an employe of/Luetgert. / whoe
duties were around tha vata , Odorfsky said
he broke up ) the caustic potash and under
Luctgert's directions put It in the middle vat
The witness then told what ho saw in the
basement on Monday morning. May 3. Beside
the middle vat was a mass of reddl-h brown
i
stuff which had overflowed from the vat and
had been carried part of the way toward the
sewer opening on the floor. The stuff had an i
offensive smell , the witness yald , and was
slimy and greasy Near the vat were thrco ,
doors which had been taken from the smoke .
house near by. Two of these doora were
smeared with the same substance , as though i
they had been on top of the vat and the con
tents ot the vat had boiled up against the s
doors. He said he took a quantity of the stuff I
on a ehovel and examined It carefully. In It I

The cltv printing light Is on In earnest
and as the two factions of the city council
are evenly divided there la no telling lion
the mitter will cml. After the council ad
journed Tuesday night Mcwar * Tralnor. Mort
nnd Kelly , the printing commltteo served
City Clerk Carpenter with the following
notice
"t ntll further notice > ou will please de
liver nil city otllclal printing to the chair
man of the printing commltteo for publi
cation. "
Major nnsor got wind of the Kelly scheme
Homo way or another and yesterday fore
noon orved the clerk with a notice direct
ing him to turn all olllclil printing over
to the Tribune until such time as the council
may designate a paper and cuter Into a
contract. The major then called upon
Clerk Carpenter for the annual reports of
the treasurer and the clerk nnd after giving
n receipt for the documents , wandered over
to the Tribune ofilci1 where he left them with
Instructions to publish according to law.
Clerk Carpenter is In doubt ns to hl posi
tion In the matter and will coiibiilt an
nttornej to see whether he Is obliged to take
orders f-om either the major or printing
committee.
The contract and bond which was entered
Into August 3 of last jcar does not specify
any time when It shall end , and for this
rea.-on Major nnsor holda that the Tribune-
is the official paper until the council desig
nates another On the other hand ottornejs
saj that the contract with the Tribune In
no good and the proprietors of the sheet
could not recover from the city providing
ita provisions were violated bj the council
Both sides are standing llrm nnd each pre

Bennett nnd the major have arraigned
themselves against this paper In the letting
of contracts or the expenditure ot monuj

WICHITA. Kan . Sept. 1. ( Special. ) The
matrimonial fitorm center of the United j I
States at present Is In the Cherokee nation , l
Indian Territory. There the swart facia of j I I
the Indian maidens are lit up with brilliant j I
blushes rivaling In Into the bright ted war
paint that it. u ed to accentuate the ugliness
of the Cherokee braves , because of the i
marked attentions paid to them by the \\hlto I
men of the country who are seeking liidlin
brides. Wherever lho e favored chlldtcn of
nature turn their footsteps , ndmlrlni ; eves | | i
follow thorn. Their slightest wish secures |
the attendance of a suppllint suitor , anx I
ious to lind favor by transforming the wish j ' '
Into a reality. Presents , Larches and pretty
compliments are showered * down upon them
without limit , and marriage proposals
couched In all the tender phrases that have I I
dropped from lovers' lips ulncc the world
was voting are an everjday occurrence.
The unusual activity In ma'ter.s nntrlmonlal
Is accounted for by the recent order from the
Dawes commission , setting a definite limit
bevoml which time white men ma > not obtain
citizenship In the Cherokee tribe by marr-
iiig squaws Thin limiting dite was flrat sot
at August 15 , but the time has been extended
another month , and the white men are makIng - ] ' i
Ing the most ot their opportunity The mln-j I
Isters are reaping a. golden harvest In consequence
quence , and are calling down blivnlngs upon
the heads of the members of the Dawcs com
mission White men have Intel married with
the Che-rokees a great deal , and they are nun
far richer , es a claea than the full-bloods
They are quick to see and seize opportuni
ties for money making , and a gieat manj
of them are not averse to acquiring wealth at
the expense of the simple-hearted Cheroluei
Some ot them a-e worth nearly $1,000.000 i
Thej and their children ocqulie property

marry Cherokee girls , me , as a rule , doublv !
fortunate for in addition to the valuable 1
property rights acquired by adoption into the )
tribe , they secure Intelligent , Industrious and |
good looking wives i
As an Instance ot the remarkable be-iuty
and accomplishments posseted by some of
the Cherokee maidens it Is only necessary to
mention one of them , Miss Ollle Heath , known
In stagcland as Gretchen Ljons Miss Lvons
Is verj talented and highly educated. The
