X %, THE DAILY BEE---MONDAY, JUNE 2¢ LINGOLN. Exploits in the Life of the Waler Statesman,” “Stinking The Cowhoy Congressman as an Equestrian, O'Shos Mests an Embassador of the State Journal-Olose of the Ficngerfest—Notes, AT THE STATE OAPIFAL, HOW A SOMBRERO LOST ITS HONOR AND WON A PENSION, Reported by The Bre's Burean, LixcoLy, Neb., June 25, —Much quiet #peculation has been indulged in by the think ing and talkiog politiclans of the second con- grossional district as to the non-return of “Royal Jim" thelr bloated congressman— otherwise known as ‘The marquis of Stink ing Water.” Your correspondent can throw a little light on the matter. In Washington the marquis delights to be reforred [to ns the ‘“‘cow-boy congrs an” and in order to fully establish his claim to that distinction, he, last winter salliod forth one day tor a canter along Pennsylvania avenue and the boulevards, fully equipped in white sombrero, Leather pants and mammoth, clanking epirs, and sitting perched upon the hurricano.deck of a very high and consequently very clumsy livery "horse. After a few rods can- ter a Ia round-up, he struck both heels into the horse's sides and the freightoned steed took up a run, Whikey was never much of a horse-back rider; neither was Jim; together they made a devel of a mess of it Jim fell off, broke his leg, and the horse xan over a childin his freightened efforts to Qcapo captiuro and finally landed at th stable a good winner by a whole neck, Those of his friends who knew of his mishap had no trouble in fixing up a romantic story of how ho sacrificed himself to save o child, ctc., but it leaked out finally, and now the true history of that occurrence is yours. But to the sequel: Previous to the fall of the cowboy hero, it was the pride and joy of the gang who do his thumpiog and baliot-box stuffin g that his “Royal Nibs” was a porfect man; not a decrepid old menaicant, but 'a stardy Scot who could hold a bull,” But after his fall things were different, The marquis sat upright on the sleek pavement where he 5o recently lay, and procesded to examins the crack In’ his ander- pinning. In the fractured bone ho discovered what first seemed to be a worm-hole, but on u closer_examination of it—aided by & some- what befogged memory—it came out clearly a8 a sabre cut, punch or stab, He remem- bored then that a naughty rebel once accele ated his flight at Bull Runby a prod of his sabre and here were the results! Atonce upon_his recovery the major (drum-major) sot out for the pension office and by a clever manipulation of the cards, after the style of the shuffls given them at the McCook land office when he made thoso famous entries ou the Stinking Water, he managed to secure for dlmxu done his weather beaten frame an annu ipend of no mean figure and the sum of 33,000 arrearages! Upon these golden ducats ho is at present depending for his daily julips and hash, In the ‘‘sweet bye and bye,” when these ‘“‘yellow boys” ehall have vanished and the slates of the Washington bar-keepers shall have been | n” filled to completion, then, and not till then, ‘will the “‘collossus of roads” wind his weary way toward the setting sun, halting not until ho shall be safely domiciled upon the banks -of th ic, Stinking Water,where, surround- ed by farmer Kelly and old farmor Veaslo and the pioneers of the Stinking Water colony, he will sit him down to repose, and between 8ips relate info their capacious ears the story of his Washington romance and of the bloody ‘battle of Bull's Run, T'S A SNAP; DON'T GIVE IT AWAY,” Ordinarily when misfortune overtakes a man his frieads and neighbors offer their con- dolence and sympathize with the afflicted, ‘When good fortune visits one of us the result is only different in the form of gresting, In- stend of coming up with tearful eyes and blanched cheeks prepared to shed tears if the ocoasion requires, our friends, when good Tuck visits a neighbor, came up smiling and heartily shake us by the hand, The latest recipiont of congratulations hereabouts is Mr, ‘William O'Shes, the Irish book-binder. The tears. etc., go out toward the State Journal if any ehed, for what has been Mr. O'Sh gain has been the Journal's Lo 'Shea visited the cupitol building, a few weeks ago, at the time tho coutracts for inting were awarded, and with no idea of idding npon the worlk spent a pleasant half bour in looking around the buildings, Among others the ponderous lhthlwni of the Journal gang appeared with his pocket- ful of straw and otherwise, and seeing the well-dressed and busy O'Shea there at ‘once surmised that there was another Rich- _mond in the field, and remembering his for- mer success in 1879, when he gave Webb Katon 81000 to withdraw a bid and leave the field, he at once proceeded to get Mr, O'Shea to withdraw, A portly Germwan sa- loonkeeper approached Mr, O'Shea and asked Mr, O. expected to bid, to which Mr, O, answered ovasively and yet half afirmatively, farther conversation brought an offer of if Mr, O. would leave the field, Mr, O'Shea, who had no idea of bidding saw through tho game and at once determined upon de- manding a respectable quarter’s salary for his half-hour's loiter. He refused to listen to any such terms and tried to escape further negoti- ations, The scheme worked well, and after a hasty conference with his principal the fussy German increased the offer to $150, to §200, and finally to $250, and the time of action dnwlnq dasperously near, Mr, O, accepted a checkofimd by a third party present, and walked dewn to the bank snd got the cash, As be told the reporter of his good lusk, he closed oue eyo and emid, with a broad grin, '8 ap, don’t give it away.” ; THE 8.

Henry Bruegman, presi- dent; Prof. Weber, musical director, and tho committers, worked incessantly, and much of tha success is due to their unt efforts, The members of the soci one or two exceptions, proved themselves cul- tured and honorable gentlewen, and should the residents of Lincoln again want the sien- fest it would come with a hearty aye, as fi: following resolution would indicate: “‘Resolved, That the thav swngerbund are due to th nerchor, to all the socioti the authorities, and to Lin- f the renger- bund, with the exception of Godfrey I.

CAUGHT A NEW CLUE, OlaraIhomas, the Black Woman who ‘was Convicted Liast Week, Gives the Whole Thing Away, The notorious Della Green, who keeps a low dlve over James McVey's black- smith ghop No. 1116 Douglas street, was taken Into custody yeeterday afternoon by order of Marshal Cummlngs and glven quarters with three other female prisoners at the clty jall. This morning the marshal will prefer against hera charge of grand larceny. It ls anold case revived. Readers of the Bek wlll remember that on Thursday night, April 30, Della Green, Clara Thomss and Minnle Howard were arrested and *‘run for robbing Conrad Fasaell of $500 some eort of very smooth work and clever maneuyering, Della managad to get herself and Minnie Howsrd out of thescrape at that time, but Clara Thomas was held and bound over to the district, Last Monday she had her trial in that tri- bunal and was convicted of grand Lar- ceny. It appears that from the first there has been a deep laid scheme In this sffair by which Olara Thomas was msade the vlo- tim, at least that is the way she thinks and talks about it now. From the tlme that she was sent up by Judge Stenberg, untll tried and found guilty before Judge Neville, Clara was lead by certain By GONE GLIMMERINC. e Made His Splarge in Good Shepe and Skipped the Tra La L1, A Prominent Dry Goods Sign on Farnam Street to Come Down, The Ohamplon cf Brass Bands, Spe- cial 8ales and Big Excursions Quietly Packs His Grip and Bteals Away, It beoame known to a few persons yea- torday, and many last evening, that Mr, L. Z, Smith, the young man who has figured so prominently here for eight months past as the prince of dry goods merchants, had quietly checked his trunk yesterday morning, purchased a ticket and departed for parts unknown. Two theorles have been advanced as to the directlon he went. Oune Is that he took a bee line for Canada, and the other that he has skipped to Mexico, A re- porter for the Ber was assured late la evening that he went of Omaha o the Kansas OCily, St. Joe & Councll Bluoffs road, and thls gives credence to the proposition that he would go to Kansss City and from thero the San'a Feto old Mexico. Anyway It la certaln that he has gone, and when the account of his disappearance {s read this morning it will create tha most profound rensation that Omaha has enjoyed for a long time, Itis feared that there. will be no more carpeted sidowalks for pedes. trlans to tread on at thelr own sweet will, ne more bands of music to dra great crowds and suothe the savage breas| and last but not least no mera special ex- cursion parties of gally dressed ladies from rural towns to fill the streets with hollday life, and bustle end excitement, Mr. Smith is to be credited however for havingleft a rep- utation behind him of being an enter- prisiog and smart young man. He cer- talnly gave the dry goods merchants of Omaha, Liucoln, Councll Bluffs, Platts- mouth and all the other lttle points within a radius of fifty miles the liveliest kind of competitlon, So far as could be learned last night he left no debts to speak of in Omaha. Saturday he paid his employes every cent due them and some one weeks salary in advance. H> paid his board bill at the Paxton ho- tel about 7 o'clock yesterday morning, had his trunk sent to the depot in time for the 8 o'clock train and that s the last that has been seen of him here. The history of Mr. Smith’s career in Omaha is 80 well known to everybody that to detail 1t now Is hardly neceasary, but to make the story of his rise and fall complete, a brief review will not be unin‘eresting. About elght months ago he came here from Chicago, and it is eatd brought something like $75,000 oapi- tal with him. Soon, thereafter, “Smith’s double store,” filled with everything be- lorglng to the dry goods trade, and valnted white in front, was opened to the pablic. Slmultaneous with his opening a cut In prices commenced and people began to flock thither by the hundreds to make their purchases. ther mer- chants were astounded at the apparent wrecklessness of their new competitor. A large corps of clerks were required and employed to wait apon his customers, and when trade was dull every place else Smith’s seemed to be like a bee hive for activity and busing Older and witer heads predicted however that the splurge would not last long. They compared 1t partles to believe that there would be no trouble about: clearlng her. Aster hearing the jurys verdlct of guilty however, ehe knew that the next thing would be a sentencs to the penetentiary, and declded to tell jallor Joe Mlller a little story which he listened to and which resulted in the arrest of Della Green yesterday. She related to Mr. Miller how, on the night of April 30, this man, Conrad Fassell, came to thelr dingy old den on Douglass street, about as fall of liquor as he could be and walk and* how he moon let them know that his lincy was llned with money, Della Green entertained] him, and Clara says that It was she who went through the old man’s pockets and took his $600 roll. When arrested that night and taken to the jail her clothes were thoroughly searched, but tha police 00 | fafled to find the money in them, though the Thomas woman declares now that she had it on her person at that time. Col. Smyth, who is attorney for Della Green, made an _effort last evenlog to have her released on bonds for her ap- pearance, but wes refused, and at a late hour she was taken up to the county jail and glven quarters there, e —— A Land Contest Case. Correspondence of the Bee, Neucu, Neb., June 27.—There has been quite a hotly contested land cas before the United States land commle- sioners for the last week. The prosecutor is Andrew Hup of thls place, and the defendant Is E. R. Ounesall of Omaha. The attorneys in the case are Charles ¥, Bagha for the prosecution, and Judge J. H. Gurpey for the defendant, both of Neligh, It seems that E. R. Ouesall entered as & timber claim 160 acres of government land in Taylor, this county, in 1878, and had care of the land until bout the first of March, 1885, when fire wept across the clalm and burned a large portlon of the trees, and Andrew Hup vislting sald clalm in April and seelng Its condition concluded that he could get hold of a good piece of land without paying much for it, so he filed a contest on the same April 2lst, 188 Ouersall s here looking after the case and is making It hot for Andrew, because he seems to have some knowledge of the legal profession, The cltizens are watchiog this case with much interest from the fact the proscutor s a German who has recently come into e In search of land, and the defendant fentleman of African descent, who Is secretary of the Omaba timber clalm association, snd who has done much to Invite settlers to locate in this county, Itis a fact that eome or most of the fine timber grown In Tabor valley sre the work of the association. t seems to be quite conti- The carpenters’ union will entertaln their lady friends, as well as some of thelr non-unlon fellow ecrafismen, at an ice-cream soclable at their ball on Taes- day evening. All members In good standing are requested to attend. The sem!-anoual eleotlon of oflicers takes place Tuesday, July 7. It is re- quested that every member be in hle place on the occasion, to an exploslon of sky rockets or a flash In the pan. Bat thess predictions and comparisons had no weight with the young prince. He con- tinued to cut end slash just the same. One new echeme followed another in quick and rapld succession. I'll efther make or break, was his motto. Special sales brought large excarsion trains, got- ten ug especlally for the occasion from nelghboring towns, and people marvelcd at the extreme low price at which they could purchase goods. Go to Smiths with 10 and you can losd a wagon, was commonly expressed, and he was himself a royal fellow. When the delightful summer westher rolled around, Satur- day evenings witnessed an im- mense attraction at Smiths which place by this tlme had come to be known as “‘Smith’s Cash Store.” In front a brass band diecoursed sweet muslc, and the laborlog class, out to enjoy the fresh air, rejoiced over the privilege of such gay and festlve amusement as wae furnished them free as the wind that blows. Smith’s open alr concerts were very popular. Fascinating young ladies delignted to congregate there, uuder the glaro of electric lights, and lavish thefr captivating smiles on susceptible swells and dudes who, though penniless and un- profitable to the proprietor, helped to swell the throng and make a showing. It was a regular plcnic, When the band failed te put in an sppearance lsst Satur- 'ay evening, hundreds of psople were sadly dlsappolnted, Tne facts cf his failare are these: Smith 1s a natural bora epeculator; camo to Omaha fresh from the cora and wheat markets of Chicego; therefore the usu dull monotony of the dry goods buslness was not to hls tastes nor liklngs. Since his advent hero it {8 known that he has indulged in the fascinating and luring game of poker, galning the reputation among those who ‘“‘sat In” with of ‘‘playlog them very hard.” He has also been dabbling constantly and h Uy In grain speculatios right alung, large money. It has been +o the wholcsale house that he couldn't possibly go through the month of July without help, His mother, who resides at Plattaburg, New York, and who s p sed of conslderable means, pald her “fly" son a visit only three or four weeks #g0, at which time she promised to and help him out of his predlcament, but she Is evidently endowed with the power of looking far ahead, and observing the manner in which business was being car. rled on, upon her retnra home wrote the young man a letter, stating that she had changed her wind and ocould not ponihlz assist him In any way, There belng only one avenue left for a chanceto*‘pullthrough” he plunged in to thegraln market again at Obicago, sink- ing about $20,000 on margins on the long s'de of the market, and the steady de cltnufinlll{ wiped him cut, The erd came and Mr. Smith was comp:lled to seek other scenes, His bills for goods for the past four months, amouuting to about §150,(00, vould be due from the lst to the 15th of Tuly. A large number of his easterr sreditora had become to feel uneasy and helr representatives began to arrive last week, Autloipatlog that their inten- tions were to swoop down upon him abou! wo-day and force a lstlllllcment, be sold out late Saturday evenlng to two gen- t | intense ncmn,i, n tlemen from Ohloago, Mossrs. Colo & 0o., who will continne the business, and he flew. He recelved from these gentle men the sum of £40,000 for his plant, 1t is understood that J. V. Farwell & Co., of Chicago, will be the hoeaviest losers, as they had given Smith a §25,000 credit, and he had used neatly the entire amount. Only Saturday afternoon Far- well & Co.’s travelling man was here and s0ld Smith a $1,160 bill of goods. A list of the creditors could not be as- o:rtained Iast evening. The liabili- tles though, as stated above, are not less than $150,000, assets nothing. There Is little doubt however, that he it $100,000. r, er, F. C. Motes, accompanied him, and his cashler, also followed on a later train, He was left behind to get any checks and draft that might come In 0a yesterdays malls. There Is one man, who will suffer more probably, from Smitha crookedness, than any body else and that man is N, K Sheibley, who was his buger. On hie word all the goods, handled by Smith wero shlpped here, In order to keep him Ignorant of the exceedingly loose manner in which buslness was carrled on, Smith forced Sheibley to remain in Chicago all the time and glving him to understand that all bills were belng paid promptly. There is little doubt that Smith ecame here to play a big game, and had he been able to meet his July bille, which would bave glven him & handle for the fall trade, his stake then would have been away up In the thousands. A rumor was curront last evening that he had con- siderably overdrawn at the commercial national bank, but Ioquiries of the proper authorities proved that to be groundless. o — EXPOSITION ENTERPRISE, The B ‘a ot Directors Pnshing Mat- ters Along With All Possible Dexterity, The board of dfrectors of ths Omaha exposition assoolation held a meeting Satorday night at their office, room 1, Creighton block, to further several minor matters In thelr arrangements for the coming exposition, A report was re- ceived from the committee appointed some tlme ago to soliclt special premlums, and from a large number already secured they read the following: Beet sack Nebraska made flour from Nebrarka grown wheat, by Joseph Gar- neau, $10 cash, Best crozy petchwork qullt made in Nobraska, by Parker Robinsen Co., one phaeton, value $200.

Glowing Acconnts of an Immense Growth in Western Nebraska, New Towns Springing Up on Every Hand—The Wild Prairie Be- wvoming a Scene of Actly ityland Enterprite, Mr. O. H. Taylor. manager of Brad- strect's agency here, gently tapped a Bre reporter on the shoulder yesterday, and said that he could Impart several large bales of Informationaboutthe present growth of western Nebraska that wounld certainly be of more or less general In- torest to every one. Belng invited, upon the strength of thls declaration, to turn himself loose, Mr. Taylor certalnly did spin a most enthusiastic story, the sum and substance of which s glven below. To begln with It is necessary that the reader draw an imaginary rainbow line from Hitcheock county on the south border of the state to Cherry county on the north border, and have it so that the bow of this i will lay to the west, Within that cirolo th country I8 enjoying a boom such the atate has never eeen before. Ei- pecially is such the case in Cherry coun- ty. Along the Sioux City railroad which has been newly extended elghty miles weat from Valentine, In the direction of the Black hills, seven new and flourish- ing towns have sprung up, where three months ago, there was not a hovss to be scen nor no slgns of clvllization—where only the coyotes and prairle dogs en- joyed the freedom of spsech and the wild unbroken domain rolled away In endless beauty. Some of these Infant towns now number a thousand inhabltants and people ara coming In every day by the hundreds. Houses grow as If touched by some magic wand of nature and the busy hum of enterprise has sopplanted the desolate howl of pestif- erous animals. The most prominent of these seven towns aro Gordon, with elghteen business houser; Broudous, wlth an equal number and Chaldron, with twenty. Boudoux however, s not likely to remain very long, as tho rallroad has entered a town threo miles east of there, consequently it will be forced to_pull up stakes a d move. The others however are permanent and promfse to soon be- come quite important commerclal cen-- tere. The Republican Valley, says Mr, Teylor, is also belng settled up very rapidly and the growlng crops In that section never did prom!se such grand a glorious results at this time of the year Ralns have becan frequent and gentle. No such eevere storms cof wind and_hal. as have vlsited the eastern part of thel state. In Keith county whers three years ago there was nothing to ses but boundless prairle, magnificient farms and fine Improvements now attract the eye, and at Ogallala, the county seat, sixteen new bueiness firms have opened out stocks of goods this spring. Six and eight car- loads of emigrants stop there every week and geatter through the country in eearch of homes, At many of these new towns most of the people are living In tents while they erect houses; therefore, the country looks like 1t might bs occcapied with an army of soldiers. Now comes a dark plcture. Herdly any of these new emigrants are making preparations for next winter and if the weather should be severe, like last winter was, there Is certalnly liable to be great suffering. No crops, yhatever, have been planted in Cherry county, and after the emigrants have purchased their farms they will nothave much means left to buy provisions with, RULES FOR RECRUITS.
