When the Wabash train arrived at the transfer yesterday afternoon a stranger, one of the passengers, hurriedly inter- viewed Officer McMillan and pointed out another passenger whom he oughtto arrest. He was said to be a fellow who had broken from jail in Missouri, where he was being held on the charge of rob- bing the mails, The informant said the fellow was a sharp one, had been ar- rested several times, but always man- aged to get away. He warned the ofti- cer to be on " the look-out as the fellow was a desperate character, as well a8 very cunning, and it would be difficult to get him safely landed in jail. The passenger giving this information seemed very nervous and timid, as though fearing that he might get into trouble by having the fellow arrested. Ofticer McMillan proceeded to nab the fellow thus pointed out, and turned 1n a call for the patrol wagon, which soon urrived with Marshal Guanella, Captain O’Brien and Ofticer Rose. They put the irons on the fellow, who kept very cool, and smilingly told the officers this was useless, as he would go with them peaceably, as he was sure there was some mistake. They watched him none the less carefully, and soon had him locked in the county jail. On being searched, a revolver, a billy and $45 were found upon him, His name was iven as H. C. Miller, but his real name s said to be M. Harmon. The officers at once telegraphed to Gallatin, Mo., and last evening received an answer that he was the man who was represented, and instructing them to hold him until an officer from there could arrive this afternoon. The officers are certain that thu{ have made an imxommt capture, although knowing few details of his career beyond what the fellow passenger so hurriedly and excitedly imparted. ——— J. W. and E. L.

Then reading of the platform adopted in Cin- cinnation February 22 last, and after the reading Mr., Short moved to have the platform adopted. The platform was read in a very impressive manner by Mr. }lolx ay, the editor of the democratic ilobe. John Ahles rose to make the inquiry as to whether he, Ahles, was a candidate for the legis . Mr. Short explained that all the candi- dates nominated at Avoca had been sent to the stable for a short time. Mr. Ahles expressed thanks for the in- formation, and asked to be excused for asking the question. Mr. Short, tiring of being so conspicu- ous in the doings, whispered to George Loucks and got him to take a part. Mr. Loucks suggested that in order to perfect an organization a committce be appointed in each election district, so as to get up a convention at some future date, and secure an equitable distribu- tion of the offices. Organization was what was needed first of all things, John Ahles seconded this suggestion. He thought nominations premature. They had better wait and see who the other parties nominated. “If the re- publicans and democrats puat up certain men I am capable of challenging them to public discussion, but if they put up some other men I them. you will sce me in the field, and when the sun goes down John Ahles will be found to be the representative of labor at Des Moines, urged that John Ahles be shot, but I don’t care for that.” will not run against 1f political nobodies are put up The | al papers have Dr. A.

This labor move east like wild fire, and when started here would spread no less rapidly. IHe ge: A few men must do Organization was first needed. nent had spread in the sug- ed that committees be appointed, and preparations made to hold a convention about the middle of October. Mr. Ahles then denounced Council Bluffs as a cesspool of corruption, and suggested that the convention be held in Neola, A. Harris, of Avoca, said that this was the second time that a convention had been called, and each time was pretty near a failure. He did not believe in a mass meeting or convention. Whut was usiness was nobody’s, and hence was not attended to. He wanted a delegate convention. Dr. Cook thought that one decent con- vention could be held in Council Blufls, and as this was an important point in the county, it shovld be held here. Zenos Brown, of Neola, was going to speak on the question, but on inquiry found there was no question before the house. George Hunter made a formal motion to have a delegate convention held at Neola on October 16. The con- vention then got mixed as to motions, seconds, amendments, and suggestions, and John Short had to straighten them out. At last there being something to speak about, Mr. Brown advocated holding the convention in Neola. He wanted to get rid of the nuisance of having the other parties foist their candidates on this con- vention. He wanted to cut loose from all other parties, and not tamper with them, Ifa convention was held in this city, there would be a pressure brought to bear upon them to endorse the can- didates of other parties. After another speech from Ahles it was decided to hold the conyention in Neola, as suggested, and a preliminary working committee was :T[\omted of those pres- ent to work up the county and get dele- gates who would attend the convention, or in other words to drumup a crowd big enough to warrant makiung nomina- tions. In this city George Loucks was made chairman and to represent the Third ward, ‘There was no one present from the First ward and the selection of a member was left open, John Short was chosen to represent the Second ward and George Hunter the Fourth. Z. Brown was to look after Neola and H. Mullen for Walnut. There were threc from Avoca,but it was diflicult to get any of the trio to serve, A. Harris was urged, but he was although his heart was in the flicient to inauce him to offer to pay $25 for any good man who would do the work of organizing there. The chairman was urged, but his private business prcvcnlefi his accepting At last the sccn-tnrfi. Mr. yoted 1n, although he was of the op that there should be no more conven- tions called, but that nominations should be made at once. ‘The convention then adjourned, after a few short speeches and a general dis- cussion of the situation. Robinson, e —— The Diamond Robbery. The trial of Herb Rothery, of Omaha, for stealing a diamond of Mrs. Burhorn, ook up all of yesterday in the district court. There was much interest mani- fest in the case, the evidence being close and every point contested. An attempt was made to show that the dia- mond stud was not valued at over $20, that being the pivotal figure between it being a penitentiary offense and a jail one. There was also a strong attempt to break down the force ot the circumstan- tial evidence which pointed to Rothery as the thief. No one saw him take the diamond and the only evidence against him was therefore circumstantial. The diamond was not found upon him, al- though strict search was made, but the prosecution insisted that ho probably slipped it away during the time interven- ing between the theft and the arrest. In the carriage in which he and others were taken to the station was found a diamond *ul, but it was not the one claimed to ve been stolen. The one found was hidden under the earpet in the bottom of the carriage. In de&nu & number of Omaha witnesses were introduced - to prove that Rothery bad a good reputation for truth and veracity. Among these was one brewer, one wholesale liquor man, two reporters and one young attorney. They all braced up the defendant’s repus tation strongly. The young attorney and Colonel Daily, the prosecuting attorney, had a lively little ronnd. Colonel Daily got him to admit that he had a great in- terest in the case, and was a warm Iriend of Rothery, He asked the witness if he " had not talked to a certain witness, and got him to leave for Omaha, instead ot stay- ing here to testify nfzuinll Rothery. The witness was naturally hot, and it did not calm him any when the prosecuting at- torney followed it up by wanting to know if he wasn’t a “shyster’ sort of lawyer, without any cases except in po- lice court. The witness was apparently on the point of jumping over the table and smashing Colonel hl):\ilv, when a general rapping to order and a quietin talk from court and attorneys slu]vpcfi the prospective outbreak. The arguments were begun late in the afternoon and will be completed this morning, A man named Morse was indicted with Rothery, having been 1n the store with him when the disamond was taken. Al- though tried separately, Morse has been in constant attendunce during Rothery's trial, A brother of Rothery was on the bonds for both defendants, Yesterday afternoon he got alarmed, for reason, and thought that Mor: i skipped out. He notified the officers of his suspicions, and was about to send out men 1in different directions with horses, when he discovered that Morse was al right and was quietly sitting in the court room, utterly unmindful of the commo- spicions had caused. It is un- Morse has been under spe- I guard by his bondsmen during the D OF LIFE, A Dane Hangs Himselt To the Limb of a Tree. Coroner Faul was yesterday morning notified that & man had been found dead, hanging by the neck to a tree near Weaver’s brick yard. That official im- panelled a jury consisting of C. S. Hub- bard, R. 8. Richardson and H. Pritchard, and, proceeding to the spot, viewed the body and held an inquest. The man was identified as a Dane, named Jens C. Pet- erson. The tirst witness was the wife of the deceased, Johanna Peterson, who, being sworn, stated that her husband started from home Monday morning about 7 o'clock 1n good spirits, Upon his not returning during the day she, with her son, started out Tuesday morning to find him, but with no success. She again started yesterday morning in the wood back of Weaver’s brick yard, where she found him hanging to a tree. Peter Johnson, the son of the was sworn, and stated that his started away from home about 7 o’clock Monday morning, and as he did not re- turn he started to hunt him but could not find him. He went to the policae station and reported the matter there and hunted until late Tuesday night. He started out with his mother yesterday morning to continue the sea They went i th woods back of W er's brick y following a different cour: gone but a short distance when his mother found his father hanging to a tree with one foot on the ground. With the assistance of one Audrew Jensen they cut him down. Andrew Jenson sworn stated that he helped to cut the deceased down, The deceased was sixty-one years old and had lived 1 this county about five years, He wasa wood sawyer, always emad to be at work and never made any threats of taking his lite while living in ‘this county, but had done so once or twice while living in the old country. From all appearances it scems that he had hanged fnmn\]f on Monday, as the body wasin & very decomposed condi- tion.

Curtis will sincerely sympathize with him on account of the sudden and great affliction which has befallen him in his household. Mr. Curtis’ family live in Malvern, while he himself has been u resident of Wakeeney, Kan., for some months, having established himself in business there. Mrs. Curtis had entertained a company of friends to dinner at Malvern last 1 day, the parties at the table, besides Mr: Curtis, consis! of Mr. a Mrs., W, iam Sweetser, Mr. John Barton and his Iittle daughter Edith. with the other viands was served a quantity of sweet tomato pickles taken from a glazed earthenware quart jar, which had been prepared and Flncmlin the cellar a year ago—the tin id having been simply pressed down, but not sealed. In a few minutes after dinner Mr. Barton, little Edith and Mrs. Curtis were taken deathly sick, followed 1mmedi- ately bg severe and copious vomiting. After the first spasm of sickness and vom- iting, Mr. Barton felt much better and was able to summon _assistance for the relief of the others. He hastened to the drug store of Munger & Goodwin and sent Mr. Goodwin to the house, forget- ting in the excitement of the moment to cnl{n])lly:«icil\n. Arrived at the house, Mr. Goudwin, realizing the seriousness of the crisis, speedily obtained the assist- ance of Dr. Otis, who at once de- tected the symptoms of pois- oning, and promptly began to administer antidotes, Little Edith, how- ever, refused the medicine, and was only prevailed unon to take it botween 4 and 5 o'clock. She was then in a fever, which created such a thirst that the medicine was given to herin water, Untortunately this was ejected from the stomach, and the little girl lingered until 7 o'clock, when sho dfod. The older pun[‘lu who partook of the tomatoes are still seriously sick, but it is uosrml not fatally so. Dp. Thomas, of Council Bluffs, has been summoned to give assistance, Mr. Sweetser is the only member of the party who did not partake of the pickles, and as he is also the only one who has not been sick, the proof is conclusive that the poison was in the pickles. As no analysis has been made, it is not yet ascertained what the nature of the poison is, bat the effect seems to be con- tined to the spinal cord, The patients suffer great distress particularly in the back and head. Mr, Curtis is well known to Council Bluffs people, having been a partner with Mr. J. F. Evans in the elevator business at that point, and last winter employed in the oflice of N. P. Dodge & Co. in this city. ———— List your roperty with Couper & Judson, No. 120 Main st. —— Novels in Japan. Philadelphia North American: Novels and story books in Japan are almost as numerous as in our country. The people are dilligent readers, and circulating li- braries are found in every town and city.

Thus a reader will, week by week, receive & new pamphlet, fresh from the printer, and to Spish one book will be obliged to peruse fifty or sixty instal ments, “Nearly 8ll the common stories are illustrated.

Yet to make recognition certain the artist usually marks each character by iving his name or the first syllable or imitial in i8. Tlus is put in a small circle on his sleeve. No matter how many per- sons are deseribod by a writer,the reader easily recognizes the hero, the villain,and the people of lesser note. — Storm calendar and weather foreeox for 1888, by Rev. Irl R.
