y - THE SPRING POLITICAL BOOM Lincoln's Crop of Oandidates an Unusually Large One. THREE NAMES FOR MAYOR. The Saloon Men Make Up a Purse to Be Used For Election Pur- poses — Happenings in the Capital City. IFROM THE NEF'S LISCOLN BURRAU.! City polities is beginning to boom, and the crop of epring cundidatesis un- usually large. The temperance people Baturday nominated Colonel A, J. Cropsey for mayor. The colonel is an old-timer and figured eonspicuously in the memorable Hitchcock senatorial campaign. He was also identitied with the trouble of ex-Governor Butler, the particulars of which are now ancient history. Latterly he went to Colorad. where he engaged in the mining busin, It is said that bis friends here pecuniarily Interested themselves in his behalf and brought him back to his heart's first love, where he was supposed to politically rule ‘with an iron hand. At this stage of the game there are but two candidates in the field besides Cropsey for the mayoralty, E. P. Roggen, ex-secretary of state, and A, C. DBrock, vresent alderman, who are mentioned as possible candidates in the republican field, with a strong sentiment in favor of Mr. Roggen's election. Mr. John Fitz- gerald’s declination of the nomination is nccepted in good faith, and he is consid- ered out of the field. 3 Charley Griffith is laying pins for the county treasurership. The Germans at the last election succeeded in putting Mr. Roche in the office, who boited the repub- Jican ticket last fall. This proceeding has induced Mr. Griflith to believe that = he oan break the second term rule and et the office. Yesterday the saloon men of Lincoln aised & purse of several hundred dollars, {obeuledln the spring eclection which occurs heze in about two weeks. They propose to n,fin on a good financial basis nnd elect a liberal mayor and a high li- cense council if it takes every drop of the erather in the shop. They are, however, one and all opposed to increasing the li- eense to $2,600. This increase seems to meet with the B. & M. railroad officials’ approval, and will, it is understood, move them to active participation in the contest. Party lines will undoubtedly be yery slackly drawn and a sort_of go-as- you-please race will take place, and everybody votes as he pleases, with the exception of a certain few, over whom the whip will be used to compel them to fall prostrate before the juggernaut of *‘bossism.” i 1. W. Lansing is out as a candidate for aldermana bonors 1n the Fourth ward. ABOUT THE OITY. ¥ Rumor has it that the rapid transit company is about to secure a franchise 4n this city for the purpose of selling out that right to a Boston syndicate, which roposes to operate an electric street car flne in this city, taking in the suburbs.

His many friends feel deevly with bum in his exceedingly sad bereavement. A branch of the celebrated Dawson will case will be tried in the district court in a few days. This suit involves hundreds of thousands of dollars’ worth of propertyin Lincoln. Able counsel will appear on both sides. Hon. T. M. Marquett for the plaintiff and James M. Woolworth for the defendant. The upward tendeacy in Lincoln real estate yalues still continues. Mr. C. C. Burr, ‘who purchased a few weeks since A lot 50x142 at the corner of Twelfth and O streets for $35,000, has just been ten- dered and refused $60,000 for the prop- erty. ’.l’hnu far no public report of she fore- man of the poor farm has been published. ;l‘he“‘axpnyun are waiting patiently or ‘The red ribbon hosts had a large mass meet at the Metropolitan skating rink ’filhr ay lA‘ml ro&uelbid ': pledge !naxp all present to vote against every candi- date who favored license of the liquor D8 in any way whatever. Judge ason addressed the meeting and m: the statement that what was needed most was more honest working and hon- est voting and less anvin‘x. He hald that the physiological Y‘nrt of & man should be more thoroughly understood, and less of the spiritual; and with proper education in that direction saloons would become a relic of the past. The surveyors of the much-talked-of belt nllw'g have not put in an appear- ance thus far. 1t is clmmed by a good many in rail- road circles that ‘the Rock Island will reach Lincoln from the southeast shortly. ‘The district court convened again this mor: . _The jury having been dis- chi Saturday nothing™ but equity ses are being considered. .~ Four plain drunks and two vags were Arrd in the police tribunal this morning, and in defanlt of fines and ©usts were committed.

A Black-and-White Babe—A Startling Arkancas Monstrosity. St. Lounis Globe-Demuerat: There is on exhibition in® North St. Louis the greatest living curlosi(lfy of the nineteenth century. Itis a ehild five months old the daughter of full-blooded Ethiopians, but 8o peculiarly marked as to excite the wonder offall who visit the Ylucm The feet and ankles of the little girl are of a dark copper color; the remainder of the lower limbs are as white as the skin of any child born of white Emrcnls, Around the upper part of the abdomen is a peculiar- ly shaped white belt, while the restof the body, as wecll as the face, is of the same color as the feet. In the cen- ter of the forehead and extending a little way on the scalp iss white inark resemb- ling an inverted “'L.” At the upper end of the “'L" is a portion of the head cov- ered with hair very much in e and color like very fine wool. The rest of the head has for 1ts covering the ordinary black wool of the negro. The child is perfectly formed, healthy and active.and in its general features shows the African blood which courses through its veins. It wis born the 9th day of October last at Afma, Ark., and is the youngest of three children born to and Mary Hollo- well, The parents are each about thirty years of age, black and ignorant. They have for the last two months traveled from place to place exhibiting their little one. to the gaze of the curious, and receiving inreturn whatever the visitors desire to give. Hollowell, when asked what sig- nificance was attached to the peculiar marks on the child, indicatéd by his re- ply that he thought they indicated that the little one bore the imprints of the Almighty’s Shand, and was destined to have a wonderful career. He explained them as tollows: “Well, de brown, stockin’s is de brass on de Lawd's tcet; de white legs is de marble pillahs; de belt means de girdin' up de lions; an’ de white har is de white wool on de Lawd’s head.” Some time before the child was born Mr. Hollowell sa1d, the parents happene to refer one day to the subject of peculiar children and wondered what they should do should one be born to them such as they had heard about. The mother after- ward dreamed that she had given birth to a child of uncommon appearance, and which grew up and was transported to heaven and enrolled among the angelic hosts. The drerm made astrong impres- sion on her, and she is strorg in the belief that a brief m*ourn on earth will be ac- corded the little one she has now with her. Evidently they are bound to muke the most of it while 1t remains with them. Countless visitors go to see the curiosity, and both the parents are caretul to re- mind them to “leave a dime for the mother.” The negroes who visit it are gremlg impressed with the appearance of the child, and seem hardly to know whether to pity or envy the parents. ———— MATRIMONIAL POKER. A Shrewd Gambler Wins Through the Game. Philadelphia Record: Sylvester Shively, who died of apoplexy at Scranton, in this state, on Saturday, was born in Wilkes- barre fifty years ago and was a collgge- bred man. ~ It is thought by old gamblers in New York that he has left nearly $500,000. He won his wife by a game of poker on the Mississippi in the summer of 1860. It was on the River Queen and the game had been going on for some time, and the stakes had run into the thousands, for there was nolimit in those days. One of the players, after drop- Pinz his 1ast dollar, drew his chair back rom the table, and going to the side of the boat whipped out his derringer and put it to his head. But he was not quick enough, for Shively had him in his grasp before he could fire and he led the man into the cabin. There the stranger in- troduced Shivelyto his daughter, a beautiful girl of twentY. They say it was love at first sight. Shively restored the man's fortune he had won, married the daoghter and romised to give ng gambling orever. He settled down 1in Scranton apnd was living like & gentleman when he was called to Harrisburg on business during a session of the legislature. He sat into game and won ;;’?ooo.
