Two Prisoners at Kearney Sentenced 1o Ten Years Each for Manslangh- ter—Doings of Odd Fellows srand dsla A Loti Sen Carraway, Neb, Oct. #nre.]—The town of Lodi over the mysterious disappearance of Emmet Bawmbridge, a prominent farmer. A year ago, while Mrs. Bainbridge wus sick, it was discovered that Caroline Torgeson, a four teen year-old stepdaughter of Bainbridge, was about to become a motner. Suspicion vointed to the stepfather, who turned up missing. Sneriff Penn subsequently arrested Bainbridge 1 Council Bluffs, brought him back to Broken Bow, when he was released on bail. The trial was vostponed from time to time until last month. Meantime, the baby was bort and shortly afterward died. At the trial, though reumstantial evidence wus adduced against Bainbridge, the girl, who had been living at his house most of the timo during the scandal, posi tively swore that he was not the father of her baby. Upon her testimony, Bainbrid escaped conviction and was released. After the trial,the girl wassent to Gothen burg to live, Bainbridge came back to Lodi, and, ns is wenerally understood, raised $600 on ' his farm by a second or guage. One day last week he drove to Cozad, thirty miles. Returning, he reached a_house, about fourteen miles from Cozad where he took supper. About dark the same evening his tean walked into the yard of John Matz, who livesa few miles nearer Lodi, hauling the buggy, which was unoccu- pied.’ From the buzgy i package of dry goods and a whip were missing. There was no trace of Bainbridge, aud Le has not becn seen since. Many parties have feared foul lay and have beon searching the canyons for his body. Others beneve that Bainbridge has quietly departed from the country, tak- ing this method of delaving pursuit. The theory of foul play is reasonable from the fact that Bainbridge was supposed to have the $600, lately borrowca, on his person, mak- ing 4 motive for robber: qually sensible is the theery that he has skipped, as it is said that the girl has gone away from Gothenburg aud is now somewhere in the state of Maine.

A small crowd athered at the appointed place, and, alter waiting for some time, Julius Werdin introduced himself as the man sent out by Adam Snyder with instructions to organize # demoeratic club for the latter's special benefit. e stated that ho had expected to sce & gathering of 200 or 300 people, but as there was such a small attendance he thought it advisable to adjourn the meoting until next Wednesday, but ex- plained that the intention of the orgaunizers was to have o club which would suppe Adam Snyder without reference to any other candidute of oither party. F. C. Ricbo, a promiuent democrat, manded an explanation from Werdin what auttority he had for calling a democratic meeting and announcing English, German and Polish speakers. He askod if Adam Snyder, or the central committee, or else had authorized such a foalhardy proceeding as this attempt to organize a club for the support of any one candidate, and predicted that Snyder would lose at least 200 or 800 votes on account of this foolishness. He denounced the attempt as un outrage on the party, and one' which would react upon the promoters. Werdin did not attempt to reply, but merely stated that the ward was democratio and he guessed Snyder would carry it anyway. ‘The meeting then adjourned itself uncere- h democrats made an attempt to eting ar Catos' hall, at Twenty- nut streets, but only five Danes enthused enough to meet, and aiter waiting until 10 0’clock for some more of their coun: trymen to materialize, they gave it up and leftin disgust.

A trueand scientificex- ition of the causes of the coloriug of leaves would necessitate o long and intricate discussion, Stated briefly and in proper langu those causes these, says The Home: The green mat- ter in the tissue of a lonf is composed of two colors, red and blue. When the sap ceases to flow in the fall, and the natural growth of the tree ceases, oxid- ation of the tissue takes place. Under certain conditions the reen of the leaf changes to red; under dufferent conditions it takes on a yel- low or brown tint, ‘The differcnee in color is due to the difference in combi- nution of the original constituents of the green tissue und the varying con- ditions of climate, exposure and s A dry, cold climate produces more brilliant folinge than one that is dump and warm, This is the reason that our American autumns are so much me gorgeous than those of England. Ther are al things about leaves that even science cannot ex- plain, For i , why one of two treos growing side by side, of the sume age and huving the same exposur should take on a brilliant red in the f; and the other should turn yellow; or why one branch of a tree should be nighly colored and the rest of the trec bave only & yellow tint, ave questions thatave impossible to answer as why one member of a tamily should be per- fectly healthy and another sickly.

In concluding his address Mr. Watterson referred to the Eldorado—the new south—at length, speaking of the richness of the fields tobe opened up there.

This was the reception of a gentleman from America, who lately arrived in Coylon, into the Bud- dhist creed. The proceedings took place under the direction of the Buddhist high priest, assisted by eloven yellow-robed monks, The convert knelt before the assombled priests and intimatod his de- sive to be admitted a member of the Buddhist church, he high priest then eatechised him, and the assembled monks satisfied themsclves that he was fitted to be o follower of Buddha. The gentleman, whose name was Powell, then begged of the high priest “to give him the Pansil which the latter did, the candidate v peating it aftor him with the palms of the hands brought togother uplifted. Having explained to the convert the respousible duties of a Buddhist, the high pricst gave him his blessing, A meoting was afterwards held, at which Mr. Powell explained his reasons for huving embraced Baddhism. and de- seribed the mental process which he had gone through b ho arvived at the conviction of its trath. 1t appears that uearly forty ago, when he wasachild, he across a book in his father’s lib which was 4 picture, 1t was the figu of Buddha seated in the conventional attitude on alotus, Impressed by the oxpression of peaco and love on the face, Mr. Powell got into the habit of going evory evening ton room to sit in w position ds nearly iike it as he possi- bly coula. *On asking who or what picture it was,” Mr. Poweli said. “I was told that it was the picture of a heathen god, but 1ts memory clung to mo, and when 1 heard its namo [ never forgot it, but learned later what the symbol was and itsmeaning.’”” Being.as he said, nat- urally of a veligions turn of mina. and beingtintended by his father to be a clergyman, Mr. Powell was well edu- cated in the christinn doctrine. ‘‘But I recognized and felt that there must be some law that I covld work out of myself, and that if I controlled my thoughts my life manitested an obedi- ence to that power; but it was long be- fore I recognized that this was the ‘law of right thought.”” At one time he appears to have sought a refuge in ng- nosticism, bat soon after he abandoned this mental attitude, and a perusal of “The Light of Asia” aroused in him the desire to take refuge in the law of Lord Buddha. years came ry, in e PAXTON HOTEL, OMAIIA—Speeinl at- tention to comm inl men.
