O NKII.U Nb., Jan. 2 (Special -Naturally
the talk of the town aince the re
turn of Bernard McGreevy has turned
upon the recnt hunk failure, and many
Interesting- reminiscences sre heard re
lated. Patrick Hagerty was one of the
first settlers In Holt county, and In early
days Haeertr was postmaster and mer
chant and practically ran all the business
there was In O'Neill, and the number of
people who for years had perfect faith la
his honesty and good intentions towards
his customers was limited only by the
population. When McGreevy came to this
country he soon thereafter settled on a
homestesd some twelve miles from O'Neill
and at the same time he took up a tree
claim and made proof on both claims.
MeUreevy has for years been considered
the leading musician In these parts, and
many of the young folks say that. In spite
of the failure, thty have remembrances of
the time when In early days they could
always get McOreevy to play for dances
and other amusements, and that when a
party was on tap McOreevy never failed
them, whether there was any money in
sight or not. They both had many friends
In this locality and when these two men
left O'Neill without leaving their future
postoffice address It was such a shock to
this community that many people could
not believe It at first and refused to be
lieve the bank was closed until they could
themselves see that It was true.
The future gives promise of a long line
of litigation in settling up the affairs of
the bank and pushing the charges of mis
conduct and misappropriation of funds
lodged against the officers of the failed In
stitution. Oaptare Gooaa on Men.

the Lludcll hotel this afternoon. He re

Sheldon of Cass, two for Fries of Valley,
two for Cady of Howard and one for
Saunders of Douglas, the last four men

The caucus was brief and without mo

nings had the votes and the other fellows
fell into line without ado.
At the outset two days ago Jennings was
r warded as the winner. He claimed twenty-three
votes. At that time, however, ami
for some time prior, Fries was making an
active canvass and was looked on as Jen
nlng's next best opponent. But when Fries
went to Jennings to have a heart-to-heart
talk of mattera and waa aasur.d by the
venerable Thayer county man that he then
had twenty-three votes. Fries gave ' up
and announced hla withdrawal. 1 hen en

the house two yeara ago. In the mean
time Fries and hla friends awoke to a
notion that Jennings' atock had, during
the period of frensled manipulation, un

Fries to bemoan his action and exclaim:
"My goodness, I wish I had not with

It was this morning that Fries tumbled
back Into the ring.
Meantime Sheldon of Cass waa groomed
and driven out, presenting what seemed to
be a formidable urray of power, snd then
Cady was talked back Into the arena.
Mockett meantime withdrew. Saunders was
not discussed as a candidate, the vote for
him being entirely complimentary.
Jennings may, under a far-fetched con
struction, be considered the only populist
In the senate, or the legislature, for that
matter. Yet Senator Jennings is not a pop
ulist In any ense of the term. But when
the republicans of his county renominated
him unanimously the pops, with the demo
crats, fell over themselves In endorsing
him. So that fortune has been with Mr.
Jennings from thefirst.

HarrLsnn of the I'nion Pacific, which was
supporting Iouglas, and the tacking onto
Douglaa of John N. Westberg of Omaha,
who conceived the atratige notion that tha
house would stand for him aa its chief clerk
Instead of John Wall, Douglas did not make
his repudiation known until too late to
throw off Ins Incubus and save himself.

waa on every lip today, and there is no
doubt that Mr. Douglas thinks the same
thing.

years', If not ever in this state, that a chief
clerk elected a speaker, meaning John
Wall's prevailing over Westhergr but It
won't do to size up the situation altogether

nerve to help seal the doom of Douglas

the Union Pacific would sweep the other
fellows around like a lot of chips was a
fatHl blabber. It went to the hfart and
immediately brought from Joe Burns of
Lancaster a crip telegram to Baldwin
that lie had started a Are he could not put
out.
