To-day a large number of addi- tlonal delegates arrived, and the blue badges ‘worn by the druggists are visible all over the city. At the hall the business sessions are largoly attended and of much interest. The address of welcome by the mayor, postponed yesterday, was delivered to-day and received ‘with marks of satisfaction on the part of the guests. The displays are better with each day, as those who have them in charge see some new corner to decorate or find some at- practive article to add to the display. Arti- ficlal boquets with all the fragrance of the perfumer’s art were given away by thou- sands, and the ladies who visit the hall find the asraction of the exhibit such as to have them call again. In the business session yes- terday congratulatory despatches were re- ceived from a number of state druggists con- ventions now in session in other states, and like replies were ordered returned to them.

THE MURDERER AT LARGE. The Freese Family Do not Polieve the Holocaust an Accident. As intimated in the telegram from Arling- ton, published in yesterday Brr, Miss Emma Freese, her sister and brother-in-law above refeered to, stopped over in this city on their way to Hanover, Washington county, Kan. They were the guests of the Rev. Mr. Frreese, pastor of the Lutheran church, on the corner of Twentieth and Mason streets. Both the sisters were cagerly sought by a number of curiosity-seekers who desired to talic with them over the unfortu- nate bnrning, but they were considerately kept away from all intruders by their host. He stated that Miss Emma needed rest; that she had left her home for that purpose, and that he would not alow her to be interfered with. Yesterday, however, a BEE reporter called at the residence 6f Mr. Freese and found that his brother and two sisters-in-law were about leaving for the depot. The home clergyman kindly stated that he would endeavor to give the reporter all the information which the parties sought for had, when he shou!d’ return from the train, The reporter, however, followed to the depot and there met the entire party, Mrs. Freese, from Kansas. is a handsome woman with a face indicative of character and strength. She was dressed in black as was also Emma, who is slight and whose fea- tures havo a pensive expression, which is not inappropriate considering the bereavement to which she has been subjected. Emma was reserved and quiet and at Mr, Freese's re- quest Tur Bee man addressed no questions to her. She had already spoken to her brother-in-law and he g! imparted all he new. “‘I desire in the first place that you should correct the false statements which have been put in the papers about Emma. She is not insane and she neves has been. She never told any newspaper man that she was en- guged to Mr. Smith, Louis Groteluschen nor to any other person, And it is not true that :{he was engaged to a stranger whom nobody new." Mrs; Freeze here interjected the remark that the truth was that her sister was never engaged at all. Continuing his denials of the false stories circulated by some of the gossips of Arling- ton, Mr. Freese said: *‘Itis not true Mrs, Froese’s family was in conflict with any other, Mrs, Freesc was liked by everbody. She was kind to everybody and charitable, and was & sincere Christisn; and the day of the funeral, the pastor of her church, Rev. Mr. Hilgendorf confessed the same to his people and said that no per- son in the country could say otherwise.” ““Was Louis a practical Lutherani’ asked the reporter. “‘Ho was, sir,” was the answer. *On the day of the funeral, his uncle, whose name is also Groteluschen and who resided in Colum- bus, was at the funeral and showed my brother a letter which had been recewved from his sister, Louis' mother, in Oldenburg, Germany, in which she told of her iliness, and that she ho) to spend Easter in Heaven, She died on Good Friday and she did spend the Eastor in beaven. That letter contained an admonition to Louis to true to his Lutheran faith and to die a good christian, The letter was reccived a few days before the burning and it was not until Louis was beyond perceiving it that it was brought to where he had resided.” ““I'here was no quarrel between the Freese family and neighbors nor between Louis and Fred,” said Mrs, Freese. “The papers havo said that Louis did the burning, but I don't believe he did. Heris dead now and there is nobody to speak for him except us, unless iv is God,” Mrs. Freese said with con- siderable animation and tears starting to her eyes. “How do you belleve all {uur people in Arlington were burned then!" asked the re- porter. It was a painful question, especially as Rev. Mr. Freese had expressod a dislike 0 asking the ladies questions. After some hesitation the lady woswered, Y1 ocan not understand how all of them got into that barn and wero burned up, but I don't believe Louis did it, “Idon’t think,” said Rev. Mr. Freese, “that Mrs. Groteluschen would take her child in her arms into that burning barn to saven cattle, She wouldn’t have done it. Emma believes the same thing, but like me and Mrs, F'rees, she does not believe that Louis had anything o do with it. They all feel with me that they would like to have the cleared up."” Cho papers saud,” continued Mrs. Freese, “that Louis did not sleep in s be that night. That is not true, because Mrs. Smith told me that he did.”” J'l‘hnllmly did not state how Mrs. Smith could have re- coived any more inforimation on the subject thau she herself had.| Suddenly changing the subject, **I deny” she said, “‘that I ever said that Louis had fired the barn, and I never saw a reporter, 1 did not say, either, that there was bad feeling between my sister Ewma and one of the neighbors who was the first to announce the fire. I would just like to find cut some oue who started such a story.” “When did your family say its prayers?” Mrs. Freese spoke to her sister Emma and n reply said *'I was there [meaning with the fammily|, three wecks some time ago and we had prayers worning and might.” It way here be stated that in the prayer I found the book mark was placed be tween the pages containing prayers for Sat- urday. thM eese supplemented this by stating r at they had in the Lutheran church two kinds of prayers, consisting of 4 verse from the Bible with lessons and explanations, to- gether with a small book for prayers in household duties aud for every day in the week. The book mark being set for Satur- day showed that the prayvers had alveady becn said for 1°riday morning. In response to a question as to_ what time the family rose in the morning, Miss Emma said that they generaily got up'a little before 6 in the morning, though there was nothing certain about the time. “Did the children and the adults eat at the same time (" “fhey wostly always eat together,” cam the answer from the same lady, “but it de- mddddupnu the mmount of work the men 0 do. Ou the moruiug of the fire there werw three basins left on the table with several of bread from which several bites had taken, This showed that on that. morning the family had not eaten together. “Who did the milking!" Emma in answered through Mrs, Freese. ‘‘Fred most all the time milked the cows and he was holped by Louis when work ‘was groat.” “What time were the beds made up?" “After breakfast and when the dishes were washed and put away.” “‘About what time would that bet’ “Perhaps about 7 o’clock in the morning, That depended on the work in the house, Sometimes they would be made earlier, and sometimes later.” These facts, msignificant apparently E(l‘:"-] concluslvely that the victims ha n murdered the night before, as some theorists claim, and then in the morning con- signed to the flames. They show that the workdone about the house and re- forred to already in these columns was performed on the morning of the holooaust. This talk also shows the firm belief of the Freese family that the destruction of seven of its members was not the work of an_acci- dent and that 1t was not the work of Louis Grotelnschen. With respect to the latter n‘:i’uial\. it could scarcely be expected, in the absence of positiye proof, that they would be slvuod to pronounce their kinsman a mur- erer. Rev. Mr. Freese said that he did not know that any steps were being taken to discover the murderer, but he desired tly, and so did all his people their friends, that the mystery be cleared up. Meanwhile, the ‘‘thousand ears and eyes of the public must be relied upon to catch every suspicious whisper, sight and circumstance, or else, these seven victims of Washington county will, like the Turneval massacre in Nance connty, for- over go unavenged. el — COUNTY COMMISSIONERS.

E, Fanning, A Moynihan, C. V. Gallagher and W. S. Schoemaker, to secure excursionists from this city to St. Louus on the occasion of the democratic national convention. The idea is to hire a special train consisting of Pull- man’s, usc them for lodging purposes in St. Louis during the convention, the cost per car being #40 per day, or about $1 for each occu- dant. The fare for the round trip 18 $11.50, and $2.50 for a berth each way. 1t is thought there will be about two hundred Nebraskans to accom- pany the delegation to St. Louis, of whom fifty or a hundred will remain during the convention. Messrs. Ogden, Gallagher and Dougherty were appointed a committee to select a uniform to be worn by the club on the trip. Messrs. Fanning, Ogden and Coggeshall were appointed a committee to se- cure a hall for the use of the club during the campaign. The committees above enumerated will meet at the office of Johu A. Crelghton this evening. ———— AMUSEMENTS., Daniel Bandman at the Boyd Last Night. Daniel Bandman appeared at Boyd's opera house last night in his own dramatization of Robert Louis Stevenson’s uncauny novel “Dr. Jekyle and Mr, Hyde.” The audience 'was composed of the best theater going ele- ment of the city and was one of the most en- husiastic as well as discriminating that ever assembled to pass judgment on a new piece. Mr. Bandman has been very successful in extracting the strongest dramatic scenes and situations from the wierd story. The dia- logue is spirited and some of Mr. Bandman's long speeches are full of a dramatic vigor that could not be cxwuwd of the prosaiwc Dr. Jekyle of the book. The play is consequently an improvement, without béing a- plagarism upon Mr. Stevenson’'s work. At the end o each act Mr. Bandman received a call; the third time responding with a neat speech, thanking the audience both for their liberal attendanco and appreciation of the piece, The supporting company is fair throughout and the play was well staged.

A STRANGE DISAPPEARANCE, A Devoted Wifé: Enticed From Home by Her Mother. il THE MOTIVE IS INEXPLICABLE. True Story of a Dark Clond Which Hovers Over the Fond Bearts of Two Worthy Persons. —— A Remarkable Case. About one year ago W. H. Robertson, with a young wife, came to this city with the hope of finding remunerative employment and lo- cating permanently here. Mrs. R. was a pretty, intelligent woman, and had formerly worked as a stenographer in her eastern home, and that she had acquired this accom- plishment was a fortunate thing for both her and her hushand, as the sequel will attest. Mr. Robertson upon getting ensconced in a comfortable little home here, at onco set aboutto secure employment, but as diligent a8 he was in this laudable enterprise, as has heen the case in the career of many a deserv- ing man, he failed incontinently. He was sorely disappointed over his inability to obtain employment suitable to his capa- bilities and tastes, but not to be completely baflled, he went to work at wheeling dirt at ‘wages barely sufficient to koep soul and body together, Butin marrying Mr. Robertson had gained a help-meet indeed, for realizing the uncertainty of her husband’s support the resolute little woman herself started outin search of employment for herself. Sha was unexj succcessful in obtaining a position as stenographer in the real estate ofiice of F. M, Kent, corner of Fourteenth street and Capitol avenue. The hard task that Robertson had taken upon himself quickly ~ proved too much for bim, and he shortly _found him- self prostrate with sickness. Upon his re- covery newly found friends interested them- selves in his behalf and succeeded in getting him an appointment upon the letter carrier force. The affairs of the Robertson's now ran along smoothly fora period until their came a time when the young wife deemed it Dbest to resign her position in Mr. Kent's office, but upon leaving she secured the gen- tleman’'s consent to fii\'e the position to a younger sister of the lady’s, who was also a skilled stenographer. She sent east for her sister, and in due time, accompanied by her mother, the girl arrived, and altogether they took up their home i the house of Mr. Robertson. At length a little chubby faced baby came to enliven and brighten the house- hold, but to the husband’s great distress the young mother, after the birth of the child ivas tardy in recovering. One day she would be feeling well and the next would suffer a relapse. Thinking that it would be easier and more beneficial for the invalid to board, Mr, Robertson looked about and found a suitable place for all of them. They hailed the idea of a change with delight. On the day of their removal, Mr. Robertson, owing to a press of business in the mail service, was unable to bo present and assist in tho transfer of their goods, put he hired sufficient help, and contented ‘and happy he went away about his duties, But a dark clond was hanging ominously over the life of the unsuspecting young mail carrier, and in the evening, when his day’s work was over, he went to his new home ouly to find the doors locked and no sign of his precious wife, mother-in-law or sister anywhere about the premises. He was then informed that they had not been there at all, and in great, verplexity he hurried back to his former home - Here his perplexity turned into alarm, for the house was effectually closed and locked, and every. vestige of furniture removed, Half distraught the young hus- band hurried off to “the residence of his friend Kent, and together the two started out %o hunt up the missing family. No trail, however, did they disgover, and in a_frame of mind bordering on insanity, Robert- son returned home with r. Kent, who advised him to be calm, and remain quiet and await developments. ' The next day came and went with no tidings from the missing ones, and aenother day and night passed with no other result, but on the third day Robertson received a letter from Chi- cago, just a few lines scrawled in his wife's well know chirography with a lead pencil upon a piece of common manilla wrapping I’lgur. It read: HICAGO, T1L, Aprit 23.—Dear Husband: I will write to you av the very earliest moment. I am being closely watched. Your DevoTED WirE. In a subsequent talk with Mr. Kent the latter informed Robertson that his sister-in-law bad drawn her sal- ary the night before the disappear- ance, and this led him to believe that what- ever had taken placeit was with the full cog- nizance of both she and her mother. What it all maant he would not venture to say, as it was all wholly incomprehensible. Then the aid of the police was invoked, and they succeeded in ascertaining that in the morn- ing of the disappearance, the household goods had been taken in a transfer wagon to the Union Pacific depot, the ladies following in a closed hack. ‘The note from Chicago, however, had gone a long way towards allaying Mr. Robertson’s harrowing suspicions, and he was convinced that his wife had been induced to leave her home, presumably by her mother, but for what purpose was _a problem too doep and too recondite for solution at his hands. He has remaived passive ever since, and a few days since received a second epistle from his wife saving she would re- turn to heart and home next week, when the mystery would be explained to-his satisfac- faction. There are those who account for this strange affair by the fact that Mrs, Robertson’s mother was a woman subject to mental aberrations, and that in one of these diseased whims she had in some manner managed to coutrol both Mrs. Robertson and her sister, even to the extent of spiriting them away. The finalo of this strange story will be awaited with no little interest. ~¥OLL WEIGHT S PURE Its superior excellence proven {n millions of homes for more than a (uarter of & century, 1t is used by the United States Government.

The lrxx:nnresslble Interviewer Sproads imsel at the Mnseam, —_—— A Remark Accidently Overheard Leads to an Important luterview That Is Replote With Startling lncidents—Mr. Pierce M. Sorenson’s Gallant Fight, “Yes, sir: one month was onough_for me, and Lonly ‘'wish 1 wonld have know it before, I would have saved plenty of money,” Was the re- mark overheard by our interviewer while at the Eden Musee one evening this week. It was made by an athletic looking young man, who had visited and satisfactorily inspected all the “freaks,” and was ready for the rush down stairs to the theatorium, and had met a friend to whom he was recounting a recent experience. The interviewer was here accosted by an impo- cunious newspaper man for the loan of & quar- ter, which he 1t & siokly smiley kilowing thatit would never be returned, and for the timo bolng lost sight of the yoiing man wha had made the remark, but on leavin after the performance’ he again met asked him the meaning of the remark, “Well, I don’t know but that 1 might as well tell you, too, for 1 want to let people Know it; but 1 mist commence at the beginning. About thirteen yoars ago, while but a boy, my head seemed to be aching constantly, especially Petween the eyes, and. my, nose would stop up, first on one side, then on the other, often bot! nostrils. Then I began to notice singular notses inmy ears—roaring and buzzing sounds they appeared to me to be, and sometimes sounds like whistling and hammering. About thiy time my throat also bogan to give mo a great deal of trouble.

Ihaveno more symptoms of catdrrh, and am, 1 think entirely cured of it.

L “Finally, whenever there 15 the slightest sus- plolon of & predisposition to consuinption, every catarrl, 0o matter how slight, should be treateil with thé utmost care, which mustnot be relaxed until the catarrh s chtirely well. This rule, so obvious from our point of view, s very fre- quently violated “Maiy patients fall a victim to the deeply rooted prejudice that a neglected catarrh never leads to consumption. e — IN SIMPLE FORM Popular Explanation of a Matter Usually Veiled in Techuicalities, In this connection there can hardly be a more interesting subject than the ultimate effects of catarrh upon the hearing. The processes of this disease in poisoning the breath, rotting away the delicate machinery of smell and taste, poisoning the lu and the blood, and passing }uw the stomach, enfeebling the digestion, vitiating the secretions and polluting the very fountains of life. All this perhaps has been very generally discussed, but the very frequent oilect of catarrh of the nose and throat upon the hearing has not been touched upon as often as the subject warrants, . A very little study of unltum'{ will show the reader that the junction of the back passage of the nose and the upper parts of tue throat is connected with the ear by a minute and delicate passage known s the Eustachian tube, Along this tube the catarrhal process extends, producing congestion and iniiammation. By the further extension of this process to the mucus lining of the tympanum of the ear is caused, in some cases, slight forms of catarrh of the middle-car, and in this way partial or complete deafuess (nu{ in like manner result from the swollen, thickened tissue encroaching upon the mouth of the Eustachian tube. Partial or complete deafness may also result from _catarrhal = interference with the nasal breathing, depnvlu¥ the ear of a proper supply of pure air or from the effects of obstruction in the nasal passages, causing undue raris or condensation of the alr {n the middle-car, In such cases as these, general remedies, which are often prescribed, prove comparative- ly ineffective. A cure can only be obtained by skiliful and sclentific local treatment—and let it be sald here that no ng could be attended with more disastr results than unskillful local treatment—combined with constitutional treatinent and care for the diseass which broughit about the trouble to the hearing. ion Pemanently Located.

One yoar ago, this month, Dr. Smith appeared at tneTremont Tem- ple, in the city of Hoston, and publicly healed over one thousand sick péopla, During the fall andwinter the doctor has boen_engaged in heal- ing the sick in San Francisco, Cal., And at Den. ver, where he met with the same sticcess that he has'so_long enjoyed in the east. Itis almost impossible to describe the strange and mvsteri ous magnetio powor which he possesses. People 20 upon the stage who have been helpless valids for years, suffering from the most ex- cruciat aln, and * after, receiving three or four magnotic treatments’ are entirely relieved and permanently cured.
