The populist county convention held } eater , day afternoon In Knights of Lnbor ball Adjourned without nominating a ticket or nny part of ono until next Saturday after noon at 2 o'clock , when the democratic county convention occurs. And this deter mination to adjourn was practically the only thing done during the three hours and a ialf that { he- populists occupied with their convention. When the body was called to order a few tolnutos after 2 o'clock by Chairman Frank lllbbard of the county central committee , Ihbro were about seventy-five delegate * ? pres ent. The call was read and nominations for temporary chairman were wiled for. The names of M. J. O'Connell , V. Wilson and J. J. Points were presented. As usual , the convention developed Into a wrangle from the very start. Four ballots wore required be fore Wilson wns elected , He was called to the chair and IP a brief speech thanked the convention for recognizing the younger ele ment In the party. Secretary Mark Nelson of the county cen tral committee refuted to run for secretary and W. Wlnenaml of West Omaha precinct was clcctrd to the position. S. I1. Great was elected asulHlant. As there was a contest In the Fifth ward , a credentials committee was appointed as follows : J. W. Harriott , E. S. Miller , W. II. 1'etltt , Fwnlt Hlbbanl and .1. Kelly Macomb The fusion delegation In this ward claimed election by one vote , which the anti-fusion delegation held was II- Irgrl. While the committee was out the free ellvcr republican committee came Into the liall with a proposition to adjourn both con ventions for a wtck until the democratic con vention opcurs , and Individually labored hard with Iho delegates lo bring them ovar to their way of thinking. The credentials committee returned a report seating the contested , or fusion , delegation. The report was unanimously adopted , A motion was passed to nuke the tem- p'jraiy organization permanent. ' Assistant Secretary Great left the hall and V. B. ICIn- ncw of ihe Seventh ward was elected to fill the vacancy. It was then moved that a com mittee of live be appointed by the chair to confer with the similar committee from the free silver republicans regarding the advisa bility of adjourning both conventions for a week. The committee was appointed aj fol lows : J. M. Klnney , II. Cohen , Van A. Way. Gu Payne and J. J. Everlngham. NEW rOMMITTE'B ELECTED.

The conference committee then reported In favor of an adjournment to next Sat urday at 2 o'clock. The report brought Louis J. Him to bis feet with a vigorous p.rotteit. He uald that the fusion plan was nothing but a scheme to sidetrack the pop ulist party. He maintained that the money question wan-only an Ignis fatuus to lead the populists from their fight against the pre vailing commercial condition. John Tlerney took a positive stand against adjournment. Ho said the fusion party had b'ccomo as "rotten as h 1. " At the state convention , where he wre a delegate , he knew tiiiit the populists had been bought und sold. If the populists fused again he announced that ho would bolt. Ho wanted n utralght ticket nominated and u plain plat form adopted. Mark Nelson spoke In the same strain. II. Cohen and Dave Howden answered ami hoon the convention was In the usual popu- llstlo turmoil. V. 0. Strlckler finally In- Bltitcd that the convention should go nheaJ and nominate Its proportion of the fusion county ticket , three out of the nine olllccrs. After a eon Iderablo discussion , In which A. O. Gale , J. M. Kenny and 'others advised that thu populicts meet their "frlouds. " Strlchlor'H suggestion was Incorporated In a motion , which was dccbred out of order. Then the vote on the report was called for. The roll was culled by wanln and pre cincts. The vote resulted In favor of the adoption of the report , 101 to 3G. Strlckler at once Jumped to his feet with a motion that the convention nominate three ofilcers on the county ticket before adjourn ing. The motion was seconded , but Chair man Wilson would not put It. He recognized J. M. Kenney , who moved to adjourn at once Another roll call was demanded. The vole was ! ) .

The-e was a good deal of talk among a number of the members of both committees of making arrangements to liold both the city and county primaries anil conventions on thu samp day , thus saving Eomo expense and a goad deal of' time for vvrryoiiR Interested , The majority of the com mittees decided after a considerable discus sion tlmt thla plan would not bo advisable- us It might lead to a general mixture rf county and Hoard of Education matters. The city central committee accordingly set the primaries for October II and the city con vention for the following day or tbo week following the county convention. The cimity central committee spent over two bourn In discussing suggested changer In the niles uml other routine matters , The executive committee reported a set of rules which were almost exactly tlmllar to those of u year ugo , John II. Kuhn suggested an amendment to the section that provided that in order to qualify a voter must swear that he had voted for a majority of the republican ramllilatcb at the previous election , by add ing a claiibo giving the voter the alternative of Bwearlng that he Intended to vole the re publican ticket at the coming election , Charley Unlit offered as u further amend ment that portion of the rules of 1S92 which lirovldeil fur calling wird caucuses , These mid other amendments were voted down and thu report of the committee was adopted an read. There was conilderable dluciiFBlon over an effort to rescind the resolution passed fit the previous meeting by which the committee win authorized to apply the Crawford - ford HHtem to the nomination of Justice * of the peace mid constables.

There was no gateway between thu two conventions , and us u mult the member * of the one perambulated about the other as though they were at home. Most of the vIMtlng WAS done by the tree silver republicans , nearly all of whom epent most of their time an Interested spectators of the proceedings of the populists. The attendance was not large and It was very variable. It. ranged from four to twenty-four , though most ot the time there were ICM than a dozen present. i The convention was called to order by it , C. Wheeler , chairman of the county central committee. C , 0. Lobcck wan elected temporary chairman , and K. S , Dradley tem porary secretary , and soon afterward the temporary organization was made permanent. On motion of Dr. Mercer a committee ot five was appointed to confer with a similar com- mttteo of the populists regarding adjourn ment ot the two conventions for a week , During the absence of the committee vari ous delegates and spectators were called upon to fill In the time with Oliver talks. Those who responded were : Frank Hansom , Harry 12. lUirnham , U , D. Gregory , Ilcv. John Albert Williams , any Dnrton , Dr. Sa- vllle. Dr. Mercer and T. F. Sturglts. There was an effort made to name the members of the county central committee , but It failed , After waiting about an hour to get a report from the populists Dr. Mercer and noveral otlicra were In favor of adjourning anyway. Dr. Savlllo and H. 1' . Williams oppcacd this , as they said the frco silver republicans had once before been handed the tarred end ot the slick because they wcri' In a hurry to adjourn. So the convention resolved to wait till the populists adjourned , oven If It were not before mid night , and so for two hours the convention waited , but moat of Us members had strolled away , before an adjournment to Saturday next at 1' p. m. was taken.

This evening at sundown there will bo ushered Into being the Jewish New Year , C65S. which date l supposed to represent the number of years that have elapsed Rlncc the creation of the world. Of course , the Jew does not so overlook the factw of sclenco as to Imagine that the world Is not yet 0,000 years old ; nor Is he BO unprogrcsslve in thought as lo believe In the literal truth of the six-day creation as narrated In the opening chapters of Genesis. The cosmogony of the bible Is to him a beautiful allegory Illustrative of God's creative power. The date liGSS , therefore , actually signifies the number of years through which the Jew can trace the continuity of his history a longer period than that of any other peoples on earth. It is arrived at by counting back ward , guided by the historical events noticed In the bible , and in. of course only approx imate. The biblical Injunction upon which the celebration of Hosh Hashono Is based Is found In Leviticus xxlll , 24 , and In slightly differ ent words is repeated in Numbcni xxl.x , 1-2. It reads as follows : "In the seventh month , on the' first day of the month , yo shall have a rest ; a day of memorial ; of sounding the trumpet , a holy convocation. No servile work shall ye do and yo shall offer a burnt Bacrlfico unto the Lord. " Doubtless , to these unacquainted with the origin ot the feast , It must seem strange that the new year should be celebrated In the seventh mouth , rather than the first. This is explained by the fact that Its chan- ucter as n now year's festival did not belong to It originally , but was taken on as late as the time ot the Dabylonlan exile. Unlike most ot the Jewish festivals the Itosh Hushono does not commemorate any gicat event In the national or religious his tory of the Jews. It Is purely a day Intended for spiritual endeavor for lifting man , as it were , above the concerns of the material world and preparing him for the solemn celebration of the day of atonement , ten cluys later. The Hash Hashono Is really the beginning of the religious year for the Jews , as distinct from the civil year , which com mences six months before , on the first of Nissan. The month of Tishrl , which begins simultaneously with the new year , is essen tially a period ot holy days. On the 10th occur * Yom KIppur , or atonement day , and beginning un > the evening of the Hth and continuing until sundown of the 21st ! hc fast of tabernacles , called Succoth , Is cele brated. It ib doubtless because It Is a purely re ligious festival that Hash Hashono Is ob served by Jews the world over , both of the orthodox and reform schools , 'with ' greater solemnity than any of the holidays that have simply a historical significance. H Is an index to the fact that though the Jew Is perfectly at one in all the concerns ot life with those people among whom ho makes bib home , his religious consciousness Is yet ah clearly pronounced as It has been through out all his long and varied history. Naturally , the day Is not celebrated today according to the letter of the Mosaic Com mand. The trumpet blast enjoined origi nally as an allegorical awakening of the con science to the call of duty Is substitutes where it baa not been abandoned altogether by the cornet. This applies of course only to the reform congregations , for among the txtrenu'ly orthodox worshippers the ram's horn I ; , still used on this day. Aiming all Jews the- sacrificial cultl Is a thing of the past and the burnt offering Is replaced by voluntary acts of charity. The dating * of the Jewish calendar Is not used In commercial transactions of any kind , and though the world over the Jews will "celebrate tonight the birth of the new year fifliiS the date will represent only the dura tion of their religious history. The cus tomary Hebrew greeting for the new year Is the words , "L'shono tovo tlcko-sa-vu , " which means literally. "May you be inscribed for a good year , " and the response , Is In the same welds slightly transposed. HADIii LEO. M. FRANKLIN. LI.O.SINC M1 ITS A.WUAIj , SKHSIOX.

The Board of County commissioners , sit ting .as a committee of the whole , met with representatives of the TranBinlsslsslppl and International Exposition yesterday afternoon to confer regarding the petition which had 1 been submitted to the commissioners , ask ing that a question be submitted to the vote of the people for the Issuance of county bonds In the sum of $100.000. It was de cided that the proposition should bo sub mitted at the coming election , but the exact form of the question to bn submitted to vote of the people was not agreed tipon , an ad journment being taken until Monday mornIng - I Ing at 10.30 o'clock for further considera tion of this matter. The exposition was represented by Presi dent Wattles , Chairman Llndsey , Managers Hosowator and Heed and Director Whsrton. Commissioner Ostrom was inado chairman ot tne meeting- tne committee. The peti tion asking for the submission ot the bond proposition was read and upon motion of Commlsloncr Stcnberg was referred to n committee of two 10 examine the signatures and report whether the necessary number of signatures (1,000) ( , ) appeared to the petition. The chair appointed as this committee Com missioners SlonbcrK and Hoctor. After examining Ihe document this com mittee reported that it found there were 1,391 signatures ; It was also reported that very few duplication of signatures had been found , thereby making it certain that the required number had been secured. "Commissioner Stenrcrg then moved that It be the sense of the board that a proposi tion be submitted to Iho voters ot Douglas county at the coming election providing tor the issuance of the bonds of the county In the sum of $100,000. running twenty years , und bearing Interest at the rate ot 4 > 6 per cent , payable seml-annually. This motion was adopted unanimously after some discussion on the part of Com missioner .Hoctor , who thought the bonds would sell well at 4 per cent Interest , but It was the sense of the other members that the time was so short within which the money would be needed , If voted , that It would be unwise to run the risk of havliiiv to advertise the bonds several times before disposing of them on account of the sharp demand for money. Commissioner Klerstead said It WES most Important that the bond proposition should be constructed In such a way as to Insplro confidence on the part of the people In the disposition of the money In order that the proposition might be carried. He submitted a form of proposition which had been pre pared 'by C. S. Montgomery , corporation .counsel for the exposition. This was taken up 'by the board and gone over very care fully and deliberately , paragraph by para graph , the county attorney and Mr. Wharton - ton taking part In the consideration of this Important document. Before the proposition had been entirely formulated the meeting adjourned until Mon day morning , when the proposition will be completed and finally acted upon at the meeting of the board Tuesday morning.

Westberg , Otnaha , Net ) . : Mr. Dear Friend I was considerably surprised to note the editorial In The Bee of last Friday , but more so one which was forwarded to me today. I cin't imagine wherein I have In curred the enmity of any one on The Bee force , nor why such matter should be said about me when there Is iut the slightest foundation for It. All my friends have known that I hive been looking for a posi tion for the last three years and that 1 was at no time satisfied with a political po sition nor with the salary that I received. I told Mr. Connell that I would do all lu my power to help him and still stand ready to do so , but that what I did must not Jeopardize my position beie. I have my subpoena and expect to give It proper at tention. 'rAMr. Connell promised to wrlto the Ar mour Packing company a nice letter , asking them to relieve mo for the necessary time , but I have heard nothing In regard to It , BO I presume that he has not yet done so. Please remind him that It would make It much easier for me to get away , and also that he must let me know Just when end for how Ions he will want me , for time Iri precious when ono Is employed with Ar mour. "In regard to my being scon with Ran som , I can't understand why so much ( should bo made of that circumstance. You will probably remember that during tbo latter part of August you gave me a day's leave of absence to go to Lincoln , and I told you at the time that I was going down with Hansom to look over some of the Bartley books. I saw him twice afterward In regard to the matter , and the day before leaving called at his office to notify him that I was leaving Omaha and would not be of any further service In the matter. I trust you will have the kindness to put me right In this matter , as you surely realize , If no one else will , that my leaving at this time was necessary to secure th.e positionwhich , was open , but could not bo held , , as' I asked It be until after the trial. I shall see/ yon soon and explain more fully If this does not cover all the charges and insinuations. Re gards to all the boys In office and city hall. "LOUIS E. WETTL1NG.

The Immense amount of criminal work that was done Thursday and Thursday night came as a great blow to the police. As tin-re had been comparatively little done on the preceding days the authorities were con gratulating themselves In the belief that they had put in jail all the criminals who were coming or had come to the city. A considerable number of suspicions characters had been arrested. It Is believed now that tl)3 really professional crooks did not ar rive until Thursday with the big crowds that came Into the city on that day.

That at least Is the firm opinion of James Sliallcr , 613 North Twenty-third street , who was robbed of a watch Friday night la a crowd at Fifteenth and Douglas streets. FIVE MORE AUHESTS.
