Fifth Annual Meeting of the State Asnociation Next Wednesday—The Freabyterian Synod —Lancaster County Politica—Brevities, TFROM TIIE BEE'S LINCOLN BUREAU.] ‘There was a very large audience in at- tendance atthe opera house yesterday atternoon at the memorial meeting 1n memory of Jotn B.Finch. The house was handsomely decorated for the occa~ sion and the preparations had been all that could be expected in the short time given to the work. The exercises through- out were of asolemn and impressive character and showed to all the great es- teem in which Mr. Finch was held by Lincoln citizens, and especially by those who had been in the years past closely allied to him in the great temperance work that has been 8o actively carried on in Lincoln in the last dozen years. The speakers of the meeting and their topics were as follows: ‘*Mr. Finch and His Introduction to Nebraska as an Orator,” by Hon. G. M. Lambertson; “Mr. ch and His Relation to the Or- der of Good Templars,” Mrs. Dr. Ring; “Mr. Finch and His Relation to the W. C.T.U..” Mrs. E. M. J.

Wolfenburger; “Mr. Finch in His Work in the Eleyation of the Hom State and the Nation,” Jufie 0. P. Mason; ‘‘Mr. ¥inch and His Relation to the Moral and Christian World,” Dr. Creighton. ‘The speakers were all given the closest attention, and theiz words were botn eloquent and expressive in praise of the dend. The singing was led by the glee club, the entire audience joining in the familiar picces that were selected for the day's exercises. The meeting was a fitting testimonial of the esteem in which Lin- coln held John B. Finch, and a recogni- tion of his power_and work in the tem- perance cause 1n Nebraska.

Thetollowing decisions have been filed in supreme court: Davis vs Scott. Error from Gage eounty. Reversed. Opinion by Reese, J. 1. The questioa of fraudulent intent is generally determined from the existence of other facts which tend to establish it. The uestion of the existence of facts showing a ‘raudulent intent, are alone for the jury to dutermine, and not for the court. ediman 'vs Anderson, 6 Neb., 802, 2. A chattél mortgage of ‘a stock of goods containing a clause by which the mortgagor 18 given possession with power of sale in the usual course of trade, the proceeds Lo go in satisfaction of the mortgage debt, althouzh by our statute made presumptively fraudu- lent, 1s not eonclusively 8o, and may by sat- isfactory evidence be shown to have been indl;‘lon good taith. Turner vs Killian, 12 A, A debtor has the right to prefer his cred- itors and pay or secure those preferred. The execution of chattel mortgages to preferred creditors, it made in g L to secure bona fide debts, even if made to a considera- ble number of such creditors at or about the same time—no trust being created—will not constitute an assignment for the benelit of creditors if not so intended. ¥eelck vs. Calhioun. Krror from Otoe county. Heard on motion to dismiss. Motion sus- tained. Opinion by Reese, J. 1. An order of a district court sustaining a motjon o strike an amendaed petition from tte filea, is not a tinal order from which error may be taken to the supreme court, in the absence of a judgment. Board Church Extension vs. Johnson, Error from Lancaster county., Aflirmed. Opin- lou by Roese, J. No error, In the judgment of the district belng shown, the judgment is court, med. Coover & Co. va. Hall. Error from Cass oounty, Aflirmed except as to motion for rpnuu statement of costs. Opinica by Rvese, J. 1.

THE SYNOD OF NEBRASKA. Fullowlni closely the 'Methodist con- ference held in this cu&_ recently comes the meeting of the Nebraska general synod of the Presbyterian church, which convenes in this city Thursday, October 13, and contiaues over the following Sun- day. The synod will be held in the First Presbyterian churen. The membership of the body consists of some two hundred clergymen and delegates from all parts of the state, who will be entertamned while in the city by the membership of the church. The synod opens on Thurs- day evening, Rev. W. J. Harsha, of Omaha, preaching the opening sermon. Continuing each day thereafter business sessions will be held mornings and after- noons, with evening sermons and Sunday services, conducted by prominent minis- ters of the denomination who will be present. Among those expected to ad- dress the synod and be present will be such noted men as Dr. Werden, of Phil- adelphia; Dr. lvine, of New York, Dr, Cooper, of St. Loms, and Dr. Noyes, of Chicago. The questions of missions and education and the fund for ministerial relief will all be topics before the synod, and prior to the opening of the = general synod there will be an adjourned meet- ing of the Nebraska City synod on Wed- nesday evening. On Friday evening the general meeting of the ladics of the Pres- byterian Missionary convention will be held and it will be very largely attended The Presbyterian church ana the Pr byterians of Nebraska are active in mis- sion work and the subject uf both home and foreign missions will receive much attention. The local membership of the church 18 busily engaged in preliminary work for the care and comfort of those who will be the guests of the city. A SHORT CAMPAIGN. The republican cou convention for Lancaster county and the republican candidates have agreed that the cam- paign this fall shall be short and full of vim and vigor when once opened. The central committee will meetin a few days and arrange the work,the campaign bein, set for opening on or about the 15th of the month. thorough canvass will then be made and the old time majority rolled up for the ticket which has e dentjy been received with favor and will be certain of election. The county will show the usual majority undoubtedly in November. STATE CONVENTION ECHOES. It now transpires that the strength of rohibition in the late convention was argely due to a trade between the rail- roaders and the temperance extremists, the latter trading their votes against the resolution for an extra session for votes 1n favor of submitting the amendment. The nomination of Dr. Roberts as re- gent of the university was by no means an accident as some would imagine, but the result of skillful and enery manocuvering on the part of Mr. To! who headed the Knox county delegation @Paul Vanderbum’s mysterious activity at the convention is explained by a drum- mer who came down on the Omaha train with him and observed that the great oil- room chief had a pocketful of red card- board slips punched by a conductor’s clip. These red slips, distributed among delegates, were received by the conductor as proxies for passes. Why Vanderbum was 80 generous towards strangers, and why the B. & M. allowed him to act us dead-head passenger agent, will be read- ily understood. ‘The appointment of Bechel as treasurer of the state central committee, of which he 15 not a member, was sneaked through by Cadet Taylor under false pretenses. Instead of being # vindication of Bechel, it is in reality a reflection on the integrity of the members of the com- mittee, who certainly do not need to go outside of their own body to find a man who can be trusted safely with the funds of the committee. BRIEF ITEMS.

In this issue the Beg begins the publi- cation ot brief sketches of the com- mercial travelers of this oity and state, which will be continued until the entire list is finished. The position of the traveling salesman in social and com- mercial circles will cause these sketches to be read with interest. F. B. GrLLvore may be regarded as a veteran among traveling men. Born away back in the twenties, he has always followed an active business career and is now on the road for lier & Co., the well known distillers and rectificrs of this city. When Mr. Giilmore entered the service of that company tweive years ago he had already an extensive experience in the whisky busi- ness. His route is now almost con- lined t the territories and there 1s probably no other commercial man better ']nowu or more highly respected in the districts through which he travels. It has been said of F. B. that he is “‘a gen- tleman, a scholar and a judge of whisky ™ and ro one has ever been known to au- thoriuvelv contradict the statement. Messrs. fler may consider themselves fortunate to have in their employ a gentleman whose- urbanity and business energy and integrity have done so much to extend their connections throughout the western district. Mr. Gillmore 18 at present in Montana. »*n GEORGE M. Swic although only thirty-eight summef ave come and gone since he was ushered into the world, has already beon engaged us a traveling salesman for twenty years. He at present on the road for Lee, Fried & Co., hardware mecchants of this city, and to use the words of a member of the tirm, (George 15 '‘a natural born salesman.' His reputation in this respect, however, is mot confined to the omnion of his em- r]oyers, as his many customers along the ine of the Union Pacific and branches from Grand lsland to Cheycune will all testify. Mr. Swigart is popular and deservedly so. Hardware, however, is not ‘“his only crime.” He has been accused of exhibiting a de- cided partiality for horsu flesh. there is a fair or a race to be held within & radius of twenty miles, Swigart is surc to be “‘thar,” und his opinion on equine trotters is regarded by horsey men as trustworthy and relinble. Mr. Swigart before coming to Omaha was well known us one of the representatives of Jones & Longhrans, iron merchants of Chicago and Pittsburgh. - %% S WneN THE firm ot Messrs. Kilpatrick, Koch & Co., drygoods merchunts of Harney street, took over the business of Tootle, Maut & Co. in March last, Charles A. Hann bad already rendered valuable assistance in building up the extensive trade of the latter firm. His services were consequently gladly re- tained by the new company. — Ente the jobbing house of Tootle, Maul & some ten years ago, in & minor capacity, Mr. Hanon won the confidence of his em- ployers and was gradually advanced until he had important duties igned to him on the road. Mr. Hann 1s o master of his business in all its branches, His territory hes north nd west of Grand Island, and in these districts hé bears the Teputation of being an inde- fatigable rustler, as well as a general man of business.” Mr. Hann gaincd con- siderable experience in the dry goods trade in the retail house of f Ww. Thomas, at Grand Island. His biography would be incomplete without stating that he is married and the father of & young and interesting family. s A. C. Frost is onc of the many repre- sentatives of the large establishment of W. L. Parrotte & Co. in the hat and cap trade. Mr. Frost is a striking represens tative of the phenomenon who carries an old head on young shoulders. Only twenty-four years old he has gained on ex- tensive experience of men and things as well as a thorough knowledge of his bus- iness. Added to these qualitications Mr. Frost has the faculty of leaving a_favor- able imvression wherever he carries his samples. His duties he principally through the territories ot “tan, Montana, Wyoming and Oregon, and for one so young _he has made a first class record. Mr. Frost iy a native of Nova dcotia and as yet un- married. He was for a time in the em- ploy of 8. P. Morse & Co., of this city. * ¢ is a hardware e is now on tne o *"x ¥rank B.

Hi itory ex- teuds along the Union Pacitic road as far west as Sydney, and on the re friends are legion, His success is due in a large measure to untiring energy and a desire to give satisfaction to his many customers. 1tis by such men as O. R. Allen that the best interests of Omaha's trade are adyanced. This gentleman is on the rosy side of thirty and as yet a bachelor. . w*e N grocery establish- llagher & Co., have ood men representing them on the but few of them excel the geninl . W. Finch in business, rustle and knowledge of the grocery business, For- merly a salesman for.a Chicago house, he came to this city some three years ago and has since identified himself with the firm for which he now travels. Mr. Finch is the posessor of an urbane and pleasant manner that goes far to increase his popularity as well as his sales. To use & familiar if somewhat stale ex- pression, he “‘gets there'’ whenever an opportenity offers. THE WELL-EN ment of Paxton, many road, w e THERE ARE few traveling men in the states who are petter known or more Dor- ular than Victor Lengfeld, popul known as “‘Count'’ Lengfeld.

People who are unao- quain with Mr. Lengficld would wearcely be inclined to think that this tall neatly attired and dls\hfinlshod looking entleman follows the calling of a whisky drummer. Yet such is the case and the Count is proud of his ayocation. He has a very wide experience of the trade hav ing at various times been engaged on the road for some of the larf‘w: liquor houses in the United States, dl'he count has & hngpy knack of combining business with the less soiid affuirs of life. He does a large and lucrative business for the popular company he. represents, » W. 8. CALDWELL is another commercial mua who enjoys reputation of bamlg a rustler, He'is on the road for Z. T.

The eaptain is city traveler for ller & Co. and is a brother of the partners in that firm. During the four years he has been in Omaha he has made hosts of triends and many customers.

A VIGOROUS PROTEST. By a Commercial Traveler Against the Union Pacific. Cuicaco, 11, Oct. 7.—To the Editor of the BE! It 1s seldom one dares openly to condemn a policy of a wealthy rail- road corporation, and again there are manv more who do notenter a complaint when their rights are trampled upon for the sole and only reason that they do not trayel much and consequently they can stand it once in awhile. I refer more particularly to the Union Pacific on the main line, which does not afford ample accommodations for local first clas trayel. The train upon which we are riding 18 composed of three baggage and mail cars, two California fruit cars, one first class coach, six emigrant or third class cars and one Ogden sleeper. When I went into the train at Che for Laramie I had on.y three hours and did not need to take a sleeper but was forced to do 6o because the only first class coach was occupied by third class passengers, The next day going to Rawlins I found it the same, and the next day to Evanstou it was more so, the car being crowded with filthy human beings who occupied their time in sleeping, stretched out over two seats and dixfiinz live stock out of their hair. That this state of things should oxist isa shame,and if thercisto bea discrimination between first and third class let ushaveit, and if not, lot the company charge the local passenger what the emigrant pays, Locally we pay as much money between Cheyenne and Evanston as an emigrant pays from Kansas City to Ogden for the same ac- commodation. As an old traveler and one who has to ride over the road coutinually, I protest against this custom and ask for what we are required to pay fe The idea that we must pay first class and ride third class among a lot of dirty and disgusting emigrants i8 too much and the nuisance could easily be done away with if the company cared to. [ am free tosay [ would and will work to divert both freight aad passenger traffic from the road if it continues, and this remark from a fifteon-year-on-the-rond-salesman is not without meaning. Fkanx E. Nogrox, DAILY BEE: MONDAY. OCTOBER 10. 188T7. A VICTIM OF CONSPIRACY. Zhrilling Tale by am Heir to a For- tune in Tenn Crincisyari, October from Oxford, O., stands a large brick building, known as the Oxford Rotreat, a vrivate institution for the treatment of insanity. For some little time back there have been rumors running around Ox- ford reflecting rather seriously upon the manageiment of the institution. One of the most prominent and startiing of these was 1o the effect that & young man from the south, of large means, had been kid- napved into the resort and was being detained there illegally and & ainst his will through the conspiracy of friends on the outerde, who wanted him out of the way in order that they might the more readily possess themselves of his fortune. This rumor was investigated. The young man referred to was found. He hnd been relensed from the retreat Thursday evening under peculiar eir- cumstances. His name is Sumuel L. Doan. He is a smail, slight, boyish look- ing young fellow of twenty-two, bright, apt and imullifinnt. and toid his story n a vory siraightforward and impressive manner. . “My father,'' said he, ‘‘was Estis Doan, of M¢mphis, Tenn., one of the largest cotton merchants in that section of the south. He died two years ago. He left a Iarge property, and his will, while making ample provision for my mother and the other children, showed some little favoritism to me. “Although I was the wildest one in the family, 1 was always nfy father’s favorite child. The favoritem shown in my direction by the will aroused the jealousy of certain other members of the family, and this, in the light of the facts and cir- cumstances, is the secret of my recent involuntary incacceration. I traveled about the countrv and looked upon wine when it was red. Along in July last I made up my mind to brace up. family physician, who was co{n this intention, suggested the Re Uxford, O., as & good place for me to go to. 1 determined to enter the Retreat. I accordingly arrived in Oxford on July 28 last, and entered it at onca. ‘The terms were 10 a week. Wheo I entered 1 was thrust into what is called the ‘back ward,' among the insane and epileptic patients, where the inmates are con- stantly in charge of keepers and are un- der lock and key. This was hardly what 1 had expected, but 1 thought perhaps it would be the best thing after all, as it would be impossible for me to get out to get anything to drink, and the bracing up process would be expedited. [ re- mained an uncomplaining inmate of that ward for three weeks. At the end of that time, feeling satisfied that I had got the whisky out of me, I requested Dr, Cook to transfer me to other and better quar ters and accord me some privileges. “‘No, sir,’ said Dr. Cook, the superin- tendent, very grutfly and emphatically; you'll stay just where you are.’ 1 was astounded. [ had gone there as 1'd goto any hotel or watering place, prepared to pay my way. and expecting such treat- ment and privileges as 1 desired. ““Chen,’ said I, ‘I leave the institu- tion. “‘Not much,’ said Dr. Cook, ‘T am going to keep you here." 1 was horror stricken. I had entered there of my own free will. I was of age and had not been committed there. [ was dumb-founded. Not_only did Cook give me the intelligence that [ was to re- main 1n the institution whether or no— an mmate of a ward occupied by luna. tios, imbeciles, epileptics and other unde- sirable companions—but he imparted the additional information that all letters I wrote were to be handed to him un- .1, to be read and consored before being matled. When I entered the insti- tution 1 had a book of blank checks on the State National bank of Memphis. The second nightl was there this book was taken from my pocket. A few days Ieter Cook presented one of the blank checks to megnd requested me to sign. 1 refused to apvend my signature until he had filled it out. He finally filled it out for |OGU for four weeks' board.” Then I signed, “Finully I succeeded in smuggling a letter out, through an attendant, to Mr, Nelson W. Perry, of Oxford, of whom [ had heard. Mr. Perry smuggied an an- swer back, and through this clandestine. correspondence 1 succeeded in laying before Mr. Perry a true statement of my case. He consulied a lawyer, Mr. Palmer Smith. Cook sent word to Mr. Smuth that he had better have nothing to do with the matter. Mr. Smith sent back word that the case, as it presented itself to him, appealed to humanity and that ha would sift it to_the bottom. " In order to satisfy Mr. Smith that [ was a responsi- ble party, 1 sent him word 1o telegraph National bank of Memphis as there was an account there to Mr. Smith had the ) nk of that place tele. graph the State National bank of Mem phis 10 that effes The answer came Pack that there was money thore to my. credit, but that a guardian had enjoined the bank not to pay it over to me. This was a new surprise. It was the first in- timation I had that I had a guardian. It was another conclusive demonstration ce of a cold-blooded con- epiracy. I immediately wrote, and smug- gled out_the letter, to the probate judge of Shelby county, Tenn., inquiring whether there had been a guardian ap- pointed for me. This reply was received: Menpris, Tenn., Aug. 18, 1857, - Mr. Samue Doan, Oxford, O.: Dear Sir: Your communt cation of the 16th inst. was handed me by Judge J. 8. Galloway. In reply would state that no'one has boen appointed as your guur- dian in this court. Respectfully, P. J. QuiGLy, Clerk. By THOS. Z. CRENSHAW, Deputy. “Uvon the receipt of this letter Mr. Perry and Mr. Smith communicated as to its contents with the State National bank. In a day or two the answer came back that investigation on the part of the bank had developed the fact that it had been imposed upon, and that the guardian story was all a hoax; that I had no guar- dian and the mouey to my credit there was at my disposal. Finally, the fore part of this week, Mr, Smith determined to bring the matter to an immediate 1ssue by taking out habeas corpus papers for my release. It happened that Dr. Cook, who had an inkling as to what was in contemplation, approached Mr. Smith and brought up the subject of the pro- posed habeas corpus proceedings and attempted to dissuade him from such a course, teiling him that such a proceed- ing would prove futile, as he had com- mitment papers for my detention. **‘What is the character of the papers?’ asked Mr. Smith. ‘It's a bill of lunacy,’ was the rcfl_w The following day, on Tuesday last, Mr. Smith calied at the Retreat. The doctor produced the papers, instead of being a bill of lunacy, the papers were a uarantee, signed by relatives of mine in [ennessee, to secure him (Cook) from any dumages that might result in case that I brought an action against him for illegal detention. This document left no further doubt about the whole affuir being a conspiracy planned by relatives of mine and participated in by Cook. He went next day to Hamilton, however, and filed the petition In habeas corpus. The judge at Hamlton advised him, be- fore "having the papers issued upon, to return to the Retreat and make a formal demand on Cook for my release. If the demand was not acceded to a deputy sheriff was to be sent on to serve the pa- reu and take e out of the institution y process of law." Mr. Smith accordingly returned to Ox- ford and made the formal demand. Cook finally agreed to release 1)oan on the condition that he would not be prose- outed for kidnapping. This Perry refused to do, but Cook released Doan. The mayor and other prominent citizens of Oxiord have the matter now in charge and will prosecute Cook. Public sympa- thy is with Doaa. Pope Leo X When the news of Joachim Pecci's election to the papal throne surprised tho world, millions of tongues asked what manner of man he might be, The news- vavers with one accord, but in many dis- cords, hastened to reply: ‘‘His holiness was tall and not tall; smooth-tongued and rough-tongued, an ultra-montane and yet moderate, a patrician and of plebeian birth, the dearest friend and the bitterest enemy of Cardinal Manning, broad and narrow-minded, a cosmopoli- tan and an [talian.” And then what a contrast with his predocessor!. *‘T'o the most corpulent occupant of the chair of Peter had succeeded the thinnest, who lacked not only nh{lim\l bulk, but also the polish, the facile manner of Pope Pius X" Joachim Vincent Raphael Aloysius Pecei was born in the old family palace at Carpineto, near Signa, in March, 1810. Of his father, Count 1 Pecei, there 18 little to bo sald; his mother, the countess, known in her maidenhood a8 Anna Pros- peri of Cori, traced her xenenlnz{‘ back to Rienzi. Made familiar with the brown habit of St. Francis from her carliest in- fancy, at the age ot cight the child was jntrusted to the keeping of St. Ignatius, being sent in company with his brother 10 the Jesnit Fathers at Viterbo. On the death of s mother_in 1824 the boy of foarteen was sent to Rome. At first he lived with his uncle in the palace of the Marquis Muti. Thence he soon procesded to the Roman college, passing in due course into the Academy of Noble Eccle- siastics, that nursery of nuncios and school of cardinals. Here he numbered among his professors Andrew Carafa, Jobn Perrone, Anthony Kohlman and Father Francis Manera, 8. J. The stu dents at the Academy of Noble Eocle- siastics may be eaid to live under the watchful eye of the pope, and Gregory XVI was quick to discover the aptitude of Pecci. While yet in minor orders he was attached to the papal housenold as domestic prelate, and a few months later he received the priesthood at the hands of Cardinal Prince Odescalchi. He said his tirst mass in the chapel of St. Stan- islas in Saint Andrea on_the Quirinal, assisted by his brother, Joseph Pecei, then & member of the Society of Jesus, and now a cardinal. The first public post assigned to Mgr. Pecer by Gregory AVL was the governorship of the province of Benevento. Brigandage and oppression of the peasantry by the nobles were rife in that district, a state of affairs which the new delegate suppressed with anivon hand, despite impeachment and accusa- tion before the pope. In 1841 he was nominated vapal delegate to Sgolew. but before the appointment took effect he was transferred to the more important post of governor of Perugin, where the same troubles were again faced, and the same pacification achieved. At the age of thirty-three the delegate, whose work was done in Perugia, was precognised archbishop of Damietta in January, 1813, and was sent as apostolic nuncio to Rrus- sels. Fresh from his consecration in the church of St. Lawrence at the hands of Cardinal Lambruschini, he proceeded by way of Marseilles, Lyons and Namur to the court of King Leopold 1. When he left Belgium for the see of Perugia, the future pope spent a month in London, —— “Good deeds,” once said the celcbrated* Richter, “ring clear through heave 0 2 bell.” One of the best deeds is to alle viate human sufferings. “‘Last fall my daughter wasin decline,” says Mrs. Mary Hinson, of Montrose, Kansas. ‘‘And everybody thought she was going into consnmption. Igot hera bottle of Dr. V. Pierce’s ‘Favorite Prescription,’ and it cured her.” Such facts as the above need no comnent. e L w. Arkell is one of the busy little men of Now York.
