The Leaders of the Clans Meet Decide on Dates, and There was a gathering here yesterday of prominent democrats representing va- rious parts of the district, there being a meoting of the congressional district committee, and also of the judicial dis- trict committee. The consultation was held at Bechtele’s hotel, and it was de- cided to hoid the congreseional conven- tion at Atlantic September 10th, and the judicial convention in Council Bluffs September 17th, Among the other matters which seem to concern the democratic visitors was the conundrum of whother Judge Aylesworth would accept, the nomination of distric! judge, provided it was tencered him, and an luterview was sought with him, with what result is not positivelyd known, Judge Aylesworth has all along talked as it he preferred his prosent position oven to that of district judge, provided he could be elccted, which is a matter of doubt. Perhaps the pressure brought to bear on him may induce him to change his mind and sacrifico himsslf, The following members of congressional committee were ent at the meetivg of yesterdn J.

Cotton, just before entering the jail at Newton, was heard to remark: “‘If I only had a revolver I would never enter that jail.” Honry Gundecker, at one timo a prom- inent business man of Davenport, died suddenly in St Louis last Taursday evening, T. F. Lee, who has been editing the Holstien department in the Ida Grove Pionecr, has purchased the Holstien Bulletin. The mayor of Ottumwa sat down on a cider drunk the other day for 5. Thia is regarded as anfexorbitant price for a cider drunk, Williams, of the Ida Grove Pioneer, las two hearty alligators, The beasts, after a cthree-months’ feast, are now in good appetite. Tne saloon of James Connors at Jack- son, Woodbury county, was burned Tuesday morning about 1 o'clock, The fire was doubtless incendiary. The city editor of the Davenport Dem- ocrat knows of personal knowledgo that small sheep heads have been sold thero as white bass, and at 12} cents per pound, too, The Walnut Bureau, I’ottawattamie county, says a young lady not a thousand miles from that town tried to imitate the ‘‘boneless man” in the circus and got her foot back of her head, and a doctor had to be summoned to release her from that po-ition. Mrs. Mary Harris, of Sioux City, who had been ill' for some time, drank a dose of aconite liniment, intended for external application, a few days ago. Stomach pump, raw eggs, forced walking, and a galvanic battery failed to have any effect on her, as she died in a few hours, Her husband made the fatal mistake in giving her the fatal draught trom the external bottle instead of the internal draught. AN IOWA WILD WOMAN, A mysterious wild woman was seen by hunters in the woods near Gordon's Ferry, twelve miles north of Dubuque recently. She is described as about 20 years of age, with lithe, sinewy form, a receding forehead, and eyes of unnatural luster. Her hair was black and about threo feet long., She was almost nude, and was minus shoos and stockings, No one inthe neighborhood can give in- formation regarding tho strange creature, but it 18 stated by one of the older resi- dents that four years ago the daughter of a farmer ina small Illinois town, who had been engaged to be married toa wel-to-do young farmer, had mysteri- ously disappeared because of thoe refussl of her parents to give tneir consent, and has not since boen seen. It is supposed that she subsists on roots and her bs, and lives in some cave among the rocks, An cifort will probably soon be made to cap- ture her. LIKE INSU A Ringzold C ty Man Gets a $10, 000 Policy, Robs a Grave, Burng the Corpse in His House, and Disappears, Leon (Towa) Journal, The sequer to the burning of what was supposed to bs Dr, Quegley is that he went to the grayeyard at Redding and took from tne grave the body of & man named Lynch, who was buried early in June, saturated it with coal oil, placed it on & cot, s et fire to it, shut the door and fled. He suppoeed the building would be consumed and the remains found in the debris. He made & mistake in shutting the building so tight the {lsmes were smothered and did not burst forth till the door was forced opon by those who discovered the smoke, He had a life inourance policy of $10,000 in the North American Mutual of Milwaukee, and $2,000 in the Banker's Lifo associa- tion of Des Moines, both taken out with ina year, and he conceived this scheme to swindle the insurance companies. Dr, King, the partner of Quegley, was arrest- ed on @ charge of complicity in grave robbery and arson. 1t was discovered that the corpse was removed from the grave to a cornfild somo days previous, and on the night of the fire they carried the body in & wocl eack from the ficld in a buggy, The tracks of two persons were found, and (Quegloy’s key and watch were found with thecorpse; the other key was in the possession of King. ‘The preliminary examination of King took place at M, Ayr on Tuceday, which was conducted with closed doors, and the evidence is not known, (n Tuesday & man named Pigs- loy, who drove Quegley away in # buggy ou the night of the fire, was arreated. He says Qaegley took breakfast at Conway, aud is traveling under the name of Steel, The following is a des ription of Dr. Quegley: Bix feet high, dark complex- ion, hairund eyes. When last seen ho had heavy dark moustache and small side burns, e is & very largs “*raw-boned” man; weight, about whon ho walks, aud always looks down; wore dark frock coat and light striped pan(s, button shoes and black sloush hat. 180; stoops forward | Be A GRAVE SUBJECT. The Bsiness of the Uiflnrlaknrs Ont- lined by One of Them,' Fashionable and Unfashionable Fn- nerals ~What It Costs to Die, Embalming the Bodies rom the Brooklyn Kagle, “Brooklyn has perhaps as many funeral decorators as any other city in the Union,” said a well known under taker to an Kaglo reporter a few days “‘How is that?" was asked. “Well,” replied the undertaker, *‘al most every man_who can raise suflicient money to start him goes into the busi- ness without knowing the first thing about it. There is scarcely a church this city which is not decorated on the exterior with a gold sign, announcing that the sexton, whoso residence is given, is also in the undertaking busin ss. The signs are gotten up exquisitely and coat quite n sum. But there is one thing 1 cannot understand, and that is, how the sexion of a church can attend to his du- ties wid alao be an undertaker, The men who do « weaitimate trade suffer by the way in wuich the sextons do business Tho manner of laying out w corple is something of a ecicnce. OF courso an undertaker has to present a neat and reapectablo appearance when he enters a houso. He raust never expross sym pathy with tho family of deceased, or he is lisbla to be misunderstood, The science of decent burial has undergone 80 many improvements within tho past twenty-five yoars as to entitle it to some recognition at this time,” “‘Thero are no undertakers ia this city,” said Mr. John 1. Newman, of Court street, *‘who manufacture their own cofline. That is a business in itself, in which machinery is principally used. Cofling cost from 15 to 850, and caskets, which aro taking their places, from $0i to $400. Tho cost depends a good deal on the insido trimminge, in which silk, velvet and other expensive trimmings aro used, The handles of caskets aro goner- erally made ot eilver. In New York stato the metallic caskets are very little used. The south is the only section where there in a great demand ‘for them, With drowned persons preservation is generally required. The caskets are lined with lead.” **Does it take much to start in the bus iness?” “‘Quite a large sum,” said Mr. New- man, “‘and to conduct the establishment properly good judgment is always neces- sary. Do you ever have much trouble with the relatives or friends of deceased por- sons?” *“In former years it was the custom for relatives to have entire charge of the corpse, and all the undertaker’s work was contined to furnishing the cofliin and hearse. At the present time the under- taker is given entire charge of {he ro- mains, and as u result there is very littlo confusion st funcrals,” “What do you think of the business now being carried on by sextons of churches?” ““Their business is of a very peculiar character. When one of the members of the church dies the sexton goes to a wholesale house in New York and turns the whole job over to it at a good figure. 1 THE CHEAPEST PLACE LN UMAHA TO BITY“ I-' 1 | 1 HNNIITTUURHE[ Iis AT DEWEY & STONE'S, One of the Best and largest 8tocks in the United States to select from. NO STAIRS TO CLIMB, ELEGANT —— PASSENGER ,ELEVATOR. SOUTH OMAHA, ITIS THE NAME OF THE TOWN WHERE Fine Healthy Homes, FOR ALL ARE FOUND! Where They Can Enjoy Pure Air & Water! BEAUTIFUL SCENERY Andall of the good and pleasant things that go to make up a com= plete and happy existence. The town of South Omaha is situated south of the city of Omaha on the line of the U. P. Railway. and it is less than 24 miles from the Omuha post office to the north line of the town site. South Omaha is nearly 14 miles north and south by 24 east and west, and covers an area of nearly four square miles, The stock yards are at tne extreme southern limit. Nearly 150 lots have been old aad the demand is on the increase The yards are being rapidly pushed to completion, The 860,000 heef pucking house is progressing finely. The $80,000 Water Works are keeping pace with the other im provements, and the otel and Exchange Building will be erected at once The B. & M. and Belt Line Railways have a large force of men at work and will, in connecijon with the U. P. Ralway, have a union depot near the park at the narth end of the town. Svitable grounds will be furnished for Church and School purposes. He incurs no expense whatever, and_act- ually injures legitimate business. I don't do any business with them, because 1 consider them outside the pale of the profession. The carriage manufacturers are making improvements in the hearses and carriages. The former cost from &1, 200 to £1,000, and cacriages $1,000. In this city it is the custom to have black horses attached to a hearse, and for chil- dren’s funerals gray harses aro used. In the case of contagious diseanes the law compels an undertaker to have the re mains disinfected and placed in & tight sealed coftin, and interred within twenty- four hours after death. Tt also provides that the funeral shall be private, no chil, bren being sllowed to go near the ro- mains, *Do undertakers employ women /" “Yes, and I can teil you they command good salaries. When a fomalo dies and we recoive an order to prepare the re- mains we send our woman. She goes over to the house, prepares the corpse and has it all ready for us in a very short time to place in the ice box. Of course, these women have experience. Mr. Harper, of Court street, said: “Iron caskots will never take the place of fchestnut, oak or walnut. The iron generally corrodes, and the caskets are not generally used in Now Yok o Brooklyn, They are also too heavy to conveniently handle. lu thoe south they are in uso on account of the climate. In ard to embalming therc is only one man who has got that down to a science, I winter embalming can be relied upon, but in summer it can not,” ave there been any change in the management of funerals(” “There have been many. There is more stylo at large funerals now and the conchen used are of tho very best quality The relatives of deceased persons don't take any hand in the preparation of the body, leaving everything to the under- taker.” “From $1 to € is gonerally the amount given by persous who buy coffing on the installmont plan,” said Mr. Frank Henderson, of Myrtle avenue. People s a general thing who bury a friend are superstitious about paying the funeral expenses immediately, as thoy fesr if this were done another death might oc- cur very soon. As to ombalming there in very little of it done in this city, be- cause relatives of decensed persens have an idea that the body has to be mutilated in order to accomplish the desired result. A body that has been embalmed presents & more natural appearance than if it were on ico. By the process now used there is no chance of a person being bur- ied alive, nor is there any danger of con- tagoous diseascs being spread. In the routh embalming is carried on a good deal more than with us, Cloth covered caskets are now taking the place of cof- fins. The metalic cackets are heavy. The corpses nowadays are dressed very richly. Dress coats are used for men an? black sacques for women., In the mansge- ment of funerals not agreat many changes have taken place, aud the buwiuess is in ust as goud condition as ever,” | ——— Senator Allison, accompanied by his secretary Joseph Morgan, spent Sunday at Spint Luke, e e— ElLearing a Sheep Man, CoLuynus, Obio, July 80 --Joseph i, Outhwaite, on_ the eleventh ballot was nome inated by the den ocratic convention for con grems to succosd George L, Converse, e EXCITEMENT, What causes the great rush atSchroter & t's Drug Store?”” Tho free distribution | of wamplo bottles of Dr, Busanka's Cough and | rup, the most popular remedy for now on the market.
