The Conventions of the Republican and Democratio Farties to Be Requested to Indorse the Nomination. Nominated on the Fourth Ballot The members of the district bar havé se- Jected Joseph R Clarkson to succeed Judge Groff on the district bench. More than two hundred members of the bar met in the main réom of the court house at®o'clock yestorday afternoon to select a candjdato, The members went imto the moeting with the understanding that the cholce of the fraternity wonld be appointed by Governor Thayerto fill the unexpired term, or 80 much of it as would romain be- fore election, and that the choice would then be endorsed by hoth parties us the candidate for the position at the coming election, The meeting was calied to order promptly at 2 o'clock by TTon. A. J. Poppleton. Hon. J. M. Woolworth was chosen chairman of the meeting, and John L. Keunnedy and £. W. Simeral secretarios. An hour's time was consumed in making up the roll and deciding upon the method of taking the vote. It was finally decided to call the list of attorneys and allow each ono 10 cast his ballot with the teller. 'This was a tedious method, but gave satisfaction. Dur- ing tho couunt of the second baliot a bundle of votes were found that had been deposited by one man. They were thrown out, A similar mess was found in_® hat when the third ballot was being taken, and W. S, Felker chargea with having deposited them. The discovery created quite a sensation, and severul members demanded that Folker be excluded from the room and denied the privilage of voting in tlie conve tion. Felker put an end to the discussion by rotiring, and the ballots were thrown out. Considerable feeling was occasioned by the presentation of the names of a nunber ef attorneys who are not_registered on the dis- trict clerl's records, Some of the attorneys wanted the list of votors confined to those who gre registered,. After several warm speeches had been made, a decision was finally reached to admitany lawyer living in the destrict to a place in the meeting. The outside_contingent was very small, Mr, Grove, of Papillion, being the only men ber of the convention present outside of Douglas county. He voted first, last and overy time for the nommation of Judge Hancock.

Mahoney, appointed 1o present Mr. Clarkson’s name for endorsement av the conventions of the republican and democratic partie ir. Clarkson was called before the con- vention and wurmly greeted. He bricfly thanked the convention for its endorsement, ‘which, he suid, was more gratifying to him than any appointment or election could be. He promised, if elected, to faithfuily ais- charge his dutics and treat all men—1 and clients—with equal justice wud impar- tiality. . 89 1 Virst Ward Democrats. There will be a meeting of the First ward democratic club at the corner of Tenth and Leavenworth streets, in the McIlugh build- ing, on Mouday eye Second W spublicans, The Second ward republican club held its semi-monthly session 1 Kuspar's hall last mght. The executive chair was filled by President O’Donovan. Tae attendance was large, | Secretary O'Counell reported that the list of membership contained only sixty-four names, while he folt confident that it should contain ut least 200, It was decided thau inasmuch as an irregularity existea in this rospect, that known members who wore not on the list be allowed to enroll their names. On motion of Juck Hoye, the ward dole- gates to the republican county central con- vention were empowered by the club to call & caucus for the purpose of selecting dele- EBates to the county convention to be voted on at the primaries. The delegates, Messrs. Hoye and Redfield, as per request of the club, selected Wednesnay evening next us the Jate for holding the caucus, and Kaspar's .. hall the place of holding the same. The committee appointed for the purpose of selecting judges and clerks at the prima- ries recommended for judges George Kiral and August Schroeder;clerk, Cliff C. Rouzer, wad the swme were accepted by the club. All this time Mike Meaney had annoy the chairman, iuterrupting him and refusing 1o recognize the repeated order of the chair- man to “'sit dowa,” “After reducing a heuvy thorn stick to splinters in his endeavor to keep order, Chairmun O'Donovan appointed Messrs, Howen and|Kiral a committee of two o eject Meanoy from the hall, und while Meany offered resistunce he soon found him- self bolding an open session on the stroet, Dan Shelly responded to ealls for “speech," and announced his condidacy for the county olerkship, He spoke pomntedly and elicited spplause, ohn Rush closed the mecting in a brief speech in which he eulogized the republican arty for the enviable record it had made, nd expressed bis belief in the ultimate su cess of the ticket at its coming county election. Eighth Ward Democrats, Tho democrats of the Eighth ward got to- gother ugain lust night at Schroeder’s hall, &t Tweuty-fourtn and Cuming streets.

Colored Republican Clube ‘The republican colored voters of Omaha are invited to attend,a meeting Wednesday evenivg, October 2, 1889, at the old council ehamber, for the purpose of organizing a Colored revublicun leagac, ] MONTANA FOLITY Fhe Contest in the New siate De- eidedly Oloss and Douvtral, Mr. Watson Pickerell, agont of the govern- mont bureau of animal industry, is in this #ity, returning from an exteusive tour of the northwest. Mr. Pickerell spent three weeks in Montana, visiting Helona, Buite, Great Falls, Missouli and other points. He founa the campaign at its heicht, and betting even on the result. This fact possesses great sig- nificance for the reason mining camps will stake money on chance as roadily as on food and clothing. In Butte, the center of demo- cratic strength, and the homo of the richest of the Big Four—Daly and Clarke—even monoy 1n large rolls had been put up on the result, indicating a rupture in democratic confidence. Mr. Pickerell's obsorvations and inquiries convinced him that the result will be ver, close. It is generally conceded that J. K. Toole, democratic candidate for governor, will be elected, while Maginnis' defeat by Carter, republican nominee for congress, is almost certain. The legisiature will be close. Complete returns of registration, which closed on the 15th inst., shows & slight in- cregao over the voto cast at the gencral elec- tion last November. This is considered omén of increased republivan strength, Both purties are terribly 1 carnest and ele day will witnoss the hardest battle ever fought 1n that section.

At the meeting of the county commission- ers yesterday Mr, O'Keeffe produced the proclamation for the election of November, 1886, providing for the submission of the question of the salo of part of the county poor farm and the uppropriation of proceeds.

A Flying Husband's Alleged Aban- donment of & Wife to Whom He Had Been Married For & Quarter of a Centuty. Followed By a Wife. A strange story of desertion was poured into the cars of a Ber reportor at the Union Pacific depot yostor Tho person relat- ing it was a lady of about sixty years of age, but still strong and vigorous. Her hair was silvory white, hor eyes wera of a gragish blue and as bright as those of a woman of twenty. On her right cheek was a long car. She wore s brown cloak, which reached to her foet, a black velvet but with ostrich feather to match, and a dress made of blue striped woolen material. Her fuce snowea her to be o womin of more thun ordinary intelligence, and her conversation indicated w laay of cousidérable education and experience. he claimed to bo the wife of one of the wealthiest cattle raisers near Kureka, Nov., but the wealth of her husband has bronght her only o scanty share of the uecessaries of life, Ounly the day before yesterday ber lord brutally cast her off at Ogden, she claimed, jumped on the overland ttain while it was in motion, struck her with n heavy satohol to keep her from following him, and left her lying stunned and bieeding smoung strungors on the depot platform. The prominence of the family in Novada adds still deeper interest to the scandal. It is said they have been husband and wife for over wwenty-five years, but their married life has been anything but one of sunshine. The woman claims her husband has boen untrue 0 lier, cruel to his family, and, despite his great wealth, has refused to properly edu- cate or even provide for his children. “Their fawily is a large one, the oldest member being twenty-four years of age. They for- merly resided near Guthirie Center, Guthrio county, lowa, haviog made their home there for ten'y The Il own several larg in that vicinity, Later the family d to a large ranch v Horso Cree oming, not far from Cheyeane, o fate was kind, as usual, to and, who made moncy rapidly. The lattor afterwards moved to San Jose, California, ostensibly to educate his children, but really, it is said, to increase his wealth, He arrived there just at the beginning of the boom. He invested heavily i realty and made a fortune out of it. T'wo years ago the family was again trans- planted, this time to a ranch eigntecn miles from Eureka, Novada, their present home, For the past two weelks tho husband has ostensibly been making preparations for a jaunt through the east with his wife. Last week he disposed of considerable property, getting togetuer probably £25,000 or more. He explained to his wife that he was going to buy cattle with this money. In addition 1o this, he had avout double the amount in govern- ment bonds, Last Mondu companied one of his employes to protending he had some business there. Tae next day, the employe returned alone and told th wife that her husband had driven the pro- ceding might on a buckbourd to Palisade, a distance of ninety miles, whence he intended taking the Central Pacific train for some point 1o the east. The wife surmised some- thing was wrong and immediately ordered ner carriage and started in pursuit. She did not rest until she confronted her somewhat startled lord at Palisade depot. Ho insisted that he was merely on his way to Choyenne to buy cattie, but his actions betrayed him. His wife begred him to allow her to accompany him, but when he refused she bought a ticket herself and went without his permission. At Ogden, the husband claimed he was not feeling well and left ner in the hotel to go out, as he said, to get some medicine. As he did 'not returs for several hours the wife suspected semething was wrong and hurried o the dopot. She did not find him there, but the overland train stood outside ready to pull out. She walked through the cars and found him in the smoking car enjoying a fragrant Havana. His brow clouded at his wife's approach, but he got up and watked out of the cur and stood on the depot plat- form gand for a while talked with her, asuring her he would not leave he: The train commenced to MmOVl and just as the last car was passing, the hus- baud sprang aboard. He hela his wife's heavy satchel i his hand, and to prevent her from following, threw it at her with all his force with the resuly described A crowd of persons gathered about the doubly injured woman and was horror- stricken to hear the story she told of her husband’s cruelty. On the next train she went to Cheyenne and consulted with Mr. Alexander Swan, who, 1t is thought, is her brother-in-law, al- though she did not say so. The result of the conference was a renewal of the chase of the fleeing husband. In an- swer to telegrams sent she learned that her husband was twelve hours ahead on the Union Pacific. He arrived in Omaha last ovening and con- tinued his way across the river. The wife has reasons to believe that ho is going to Guthrie Center to sell the valuable lands he owns there, whence he will fiy to parts unknown. She therefore continued her chase on the Rock Islund train at 10 a. m, Although telling the story of her wrongs freely, she refused ts reveal her hushand’s name, which is probaoly Shaw, side r ks made by her leading to that conclusios ‘The husband, she says, is about sixty-five years old, of powerful build, has a full gray beard and blue eyes. ove, Another Story. Yesterday Tue telegraphed to Guthrie Center, asking for information regarding the husband and wife above referred to. The answer corroborated the woman's story, showing thav the husband had arrived there in advauce of his wife, When interviewed by Tie Bee's representative he said that everything was all right, his wife's story to the contrary notwithstanding. He admitted, as intimated above, that his name was Shaw. THE C1TY COUNCIL pointment of Supervisors of \Registration Corrected.

A Great Indian BGuffalo Hunt De- scribed by a White Participant, In these days when we lear much of the last of the buffalo, let me tell you and your readers of the last groat buffalo hunt of the Sioux Indians, says a writer in Forest and Stream. [ was one of three or four white men who happened to be present at the greatand what must be to all there a never-to-be- forgotten event. On the 25th of October, 1888, about four hundred lodges of the Sioux left their camp at Standing Rock, on the Missouri' river, for_their great buffalo huut on the Grand river plains, some two hundred miles to the westward, The runners huad come in with the in- telligence that tatonkas were plentiful on the head of the Heart, the Cannon Ball and Grand rivers; so the hunt was enlled, soldiers olected, councils held, medicine made, and we were ready 1o start, It was o grand sight that frosty Octo- bor morning. Hundreds of gayly dressed Indiuns, mounted on their wiry littie ponies, herds of pack animals, wagons, carts and long lines of travois londed down with tepees and blankets; old_squaws and young ones, men and children crowded the trails leading out_upon the yellow plain. As was their custom, not o gun was allowed to be fired. The prairie chicken could si and eat his buckberries without i the rifle’s death-dealing crack; antelope could gnze curiously from the many little ridges; his time was not yet; the straggling bull would start from some grassy hollow and lumber off, but no lead nor lance sought to stay his flight. After six days’ marching we could sec the crest of Rainy Butte, but still some forty miles to the westward. One even- ing we had made our camps on the banks of a tributary of Heart viver and piles of buffalo ¢hips were smoking be- fore every lodge when the lookout sen- tinel posted on the nearest hill sienaled “scouts coming.” Then in a short time tho four Sioux sent out in the morning came riding into camp, going first to the chief’s lodge to report, and soon the crier was heard, his resounding yells veaching every part of the camp. It was the Indians' evening paper and soon all knew the events of the day, in- cluding the scouts’ revort. That even- ing a grand council was held and 100 of the best viders aud hunters wor elected for the morrow’s hunt as kil for the scouts had reported a large he of buffalo ouly four miles away, It was a great sighu that the sun shone upon the next morning. A hundred of the picked Sioux, mounted on their fleetest and test ponies, led by old Rain-in-the-Face of Black Hillsand Big Horn fame, filed out on the broad pr: Following these came the and packers. The herd wi sated. The number might have been fifteen hundred or two thousand. Two of the hunters were sent around to get in the wind of the game, while the rest spread out to windward, eavofully keep- ing out of sight of the buffalo. We had not long to wait. The animals soon scented the men, and away they went wrging over the prairie, head to the wind. at a rate which soon brought them in sight of the waiting hunter 3 ing these they sought to turn, but too late. The yelling Sioux were around and among tkem. The sharp crack of the short Winchester and Sharp car- bines, mingled with the wild. triumph- ant cries from the huntérs, the inces- sant roar oi hoofs, the clouds of yellow dust, bellowing bulls, snorting ponies ridden by half-naked savages, made a scene for excitement the like of which it has never been my fortune to witness, herd soon became rattled, turning vay and that; met on y side by lmost equully active foe. their leaders shot down or crippled, they commenced to run in a circle— “milling,” as it is called. This is just what the Indians wanted. They now rode at the outside, sending their lead down into the backs of the llying animals, and often at such close range that the hair was singed by the powder blast. Hundreds fell until the plain seemed to be one great ughter-yard. Breaking at last, the small remuant of the morning herd wied to afety in a wild dash for ubert away over the plain they went, stopping for nothing: and woe to the Indian trying to stop or turn them. It was during the winding up of the chase that the darir ling of the Tudians could be seen. Singling out a flying buffalo an Indian would give chase. Slowly the gap between pursued and pursuer would be closed. With head down, tongue out, and blazing FALL eyes the gront shaggy brute swept along, taking the prairie ns he found it. Close behind him came the fleet Indian pony and rider, one as eager as the othor. No ground too rough, no hill 100 steep; across gulchos, over ridges, down ravines went the panting bull, but lead him where he would the quick pounding hoofs behind him kept 1} ing nearer and prossing closer until at last, with a sudden burst of spoed, the pony is alonside, the rifle drops, a flash, a_shurp crack, and the chase is ended. The buffalo plunges to the ground and with a fow steuggles he isdead. Flsewkore an Indian is seen running down a bunch of ten or twelve sometimes it is hard to tell if he is rid- ing his pony or ono of the buffalos, so close are they, and the smoke from his rifle tells us he is not idle. Now and then a great, black mass drops and rolls beforo him, almost under his pony's foet, but with a quick spring the wiry little animul cloars the struggling brute and is awny again, ranning side by side with the others. About 3 o'clock the afternoon the chase was well over; 1,800 buffalo had fullen and many others had eseaped. but badly wounded. The prairie now » covered with men, womgn and children, pack animals, travols and wagon carts. Butchering was the order of the d. and by sundown nearly everything of the meat kind was at the main camp. Hero a grand feast in celebration of the hunt was given; all night long tho squaws were kept busy boiling and roasting, while the bucks told tales of their prowess in the field, sang songs, or made speeches, Little did they think that it would be the last great buffalo hunt of their people. To the young oncs of the tribo it will seem like a dreem or as if the doc hunting grounds had been open to thom then, and then aftor one glance at the exciting scones so doar to their closed upon them forever. - ~ TSCHERNIQOH&WSKI. The Fathier of Nihilism 1 Czar Alexander, Czar Alexander has just performed the most popular act of his reign by granting a full pardon wo the famous poet and author, Tschernischewski, whose name is a watchword among the people throughout the longth and broeadth of Russia, s .

Twent ye have elapsed since the rainy, May day when, at 8 o’clock in the morning, ho was p in the pillory in one of the public squares of the city while an officor of tho gendarmerie read aloud the sen- tence condemning him to fourteen vears’ bard labor in the salt mines of beria. At length, in 1884, the shackles wero struck off from his wrists, ankles ¢ waist, and he was permitted to tak his residence in one of the penal settle- ments of western Siberia, wher joved a relative amount of liboer! Po-day, at the age of sixty, he returns to his'native land, utterly shattered in health, and, it is said, also in mind. 11 his acar relativesand former com- panions and friends are dead. Of his once handsome fortune not a kopeck r mains, and for the remainder of his he will be dependent on the charity of those who have learned to know and love him for his writings and from the oft-told story of his martyrdom in one of the most dreary and desolate penal settlements of the czar’s great Asiatic empir teasod by moreover, deprived of his rank puncillor of state and asa noble. Ior eight long years the deli- cately reared poet toiled” in _chains in < depthsof the great Nortchinak obtaining a glimpse of the light of day, and then he nsferred to those at Volyniuk. There he remained until five years ago, his origi ntence of fourteen years of hard labor ha d to twenty in consequence of numerous tempts made by his admirers to efl his eseape. Tne ne for which Tschernischew- ski suffered such terrible puhisment the somewhat socialistic tone of certain articles published in the Sovre- menink (contemvorary), a monthly ve- view appearing in this eity, and the authorship of a book which, under the itle, **What Is to Be Done,” is nothing * or less than a gospel pedia of nihilism. He was th nihlistic martyrs, and is lool the father of nihilism. - - | Doyousuffer from serofula.salt rheum or otherh umors?
