THE ALLIASCE WIDE AWAKE Organization Perfected in Nearly Bvery County. THE OHDER'S PLAN OF CAMPAIGN Two Interesting Interviews—In the District Court—ltems Gathered at the State House—1The Capital City. Not a Boycotting Body. Lixcony, Nob, March 22.—[Special to Tur Bee.|—Judge W, V. Allen of Madison and M. D, Jackson of Neligh while enjoy- ing the comforts of after broakfast cigars and easy chairs 1n the rotunda of the Capitol hotel were approached by Tue BEr repre- sentative this morning. ““What is the farmers’ your way 1" etting there Eli in Madison county,” said Judge Allen. We have a voting popu- lation of 1860 arid of this number the alliance has a membership of 700 to 1000, Tt will number the latter figure to say the least within the next three months, The local ticket will be captured by the alliance bag and boggage. Organizations have been perfected in almost every country school district in the county.” “Does the alliance propose to work in the primary elections, or not!"” “Quite generally, T think; but an inde- pendent ticket is probable. If the machine captures the county convention then Jook out for breakers. 1t is needless to say that in that event the republican ticket would be de- feated to & man." “Is there any difference between the grange as run a few years ago and the alli- unce “Well, yes, I should say so. The grango was sort of & bovcotting institution. And, moreover, the alliance is backed by a better and more intelligent class ot farmers. Now they o to our merchants and grocers and say we propose to buy our goods of you just the same as in the past. But in turn they exact or expect help in the elsction of men to ofice, local and legislative, who believe that the farmer is worthy his hire and will work for him aod his interests, The result is merchants and grocers aro not slow to pledge loyalty and support in uil laudable efforts they may make to that end. In short, the alliance is after cheaper transportation. It favors government control of railroad, telegraph and express companies. In our part of thestate alliance men let the national anking system alone. The most intelligent farmers of Madison county are pushiog the move for ull there is in it.” “Ts the ailiance booming in the adjucent - counties 80 Madison ¢ “‘Without a doubt. The alliance is as strong, if not stronger, in Knox than it is in Madison county. 1 learn also that it 1s growing very rapidly in Greeley, Wheeler, Boone and Stanton counties, West and north of Wheeler I cannot speak so well. I take it, however, thut the ontire northwest part of the state will be in the alliance column before the ides oif November. “*Whow does this alliance favor for ernor?” In the event of a general revolt and an independent ticket General Van Wyck would probably be the man. Of the promi- nent republican condidates mentioned, nw,- ever, Richards of I'remont {8 probably The strongest. General Leese has 4 good many friends, und amone the soldiers Governor Thayer is popular, but Madison county voters will not stand anything that savors of Dorsey.” As to candidacy for state treasurer, secre- tary of state, wuditor of public accounts, at torney general and commissioner of public lands and vuildings, what's the lay " **No opposition to Hill whatever. He will be renominated state treasurer without a doubt, The fact that some of the banks or money changers oppose bim is enough to in- sure this, We arc non-ccmmittai as to the other offices;: the feeling is strong that good men be nominatod or toere will be a landslide. Cowdery has made mis- takes that our peoplo ‘are not apt to look over. 1will say right here that Mr. Dorsey will not represent the Third congres: sional district in_congress again very soon,” ‘Mr. Jackson, how are matters in your county (! “Pretty much the same that Judge Allen suggests them to be in Madison county, I will say, however, that the independent local Uicket will carry in my county unless the republican leaders exercise more judg- ment in convention than they have ia the past. With the present status there an in- iependent ticket is a sure thing. The alli- ance, t0o, Is strong with us, and it will have organizations in every school district in the county before fall. [ learn, also, thatitis g in strength very fast in Holt ‘county. In a voting population of 2,000 fully one thousand are alliance men. As the mat. ter stands today state politics 18 in a very muddled condition, and it is hard to predict what the outcome of the campaign will be. Richards is the personal choice of the county for governor. 1f Attorney General Leese, however, comes out as a candidate it will be found that ho has a good many friends in the district.” ) THE DISTRICT COURT, Judge Field vsteemed “‘failuro to support for two years” sufficient grounds, and granted Faunme Story a divorce from her nusband, William, this morning. ‘The case of Henry Townsend vs the city of Lincoln, the first of the grading damage suits, was decided in favor of the defendant, but the case will go to the supreme court, Judgments to the amount of $17,500 have been filed against S.

Collins Said to Be a Oa for Dismissal, Ex-Rev. A. 8. Collins, now in Ponca, Ne- ligh or some other city in tie nortaern part of the state, but whose home is at Thirty- seventh and Howard streets, in this city, is reported to be a candidate tor disn.issal from the M. E. church for the second time on the charge of immorality. Rev. Collins has a weakness for womon that in the past has brought him into some of the most sensa- tional scandals ever heard of in the Metho- dist church, and this has again brought trouble on his head. Rev.Colling was once a Methodist preacher, but owing to lis-short-comings, was expelled from the ministry at Galesburg, il five years ago. Since then he has been cking out a comfortable livelihood as a book agent by selling an encyclopedia. He still clings to the prefix of reverend to his name and wheneaer he strikes town he gen- erally offers to fill the pulpit for the local Methodist Episcopal preacher and the offer is invariably accepted, Heis a very magnetic man, readily pleases the la- dies of the congregation, and thereby paves the way for a fat harvest when he goes from house to house with his book. A well known attorney who has been brought into close business relations with Collins is authority for thestatement that the presiling elder is after the ex-minister's seulp. This gentleman reports that Collins, who is & married man, has been in tho habit of taking another woman on his travels whom ho has been representing as Mrs, Collins, but who does not bear the slightest resem- blance to the real wife. ‘Tho preacher book agent generally stops with his pseudo-wife at the parsonage of the Methodist mimster of the that he is canvassing, and 1t d that it was through this source that lis iniquity became unveiled, Word was sent to Presiding Elder ndenning concerning the bold indiscretion of the pious visaged agent, and that church official ia re- ported to be collecting what evidence he can against the erring brother to bring - him to account. Today a reporter went to Dundee Place, the home of Presiding Klder Clendenning, ut found that he is out of the city The elder's son w at home, however, and lie acknowledged that his fatoer bad been discussing the short-comings of Brother Col- lins and he believed that testimony was be- ing gathered for Colling’ trial before the con- ference, Inaddition to his shortcomings Collins has financial trouble shead, as ho is threatened with legal proceedings provided he does not pay for furniture costing several hunared dollars and settle about §150 due in rent. Collins has had u very unsavory record in the past and has become notorious for his violation of the seventh comwmandment. Fivo years ago he was pastor of the First Methodist Episcopal church at Galesburg, Iil,, and he startled the citizens of that cul- tured community with a record of impurity from which that quiet city has scarcely vet recovered. ‘I'ne women with whom he was alleged to have been unduly intimate at the time were all members of his church, and a dozen in number. He fled to Canada and a body washed up on the shores of Lake Irie was supposed to ve his. On the strength of this his wife at- tempted to got the insurance on his life and the companies with which he was insured employed detectives to investigate the matter. Aftor a long ana skillfully con- ducted chase Collins was discovered n one of the principal cities of Canada dis- guised as an Eaghsh J His head was shorn and he was wearing dark green eyo glasses. e finishing touch to the new role was a loud suit of clothes. Had not one of the detectives been weli acquainted with hi lesburg, the erring preacher would probubly Dever have been recoznized 1 dude. Xt meeting of the ministers of that conference which was held at Galva, Mr. Collins was summarily expelled from the church. It is reported that the woman who figures in the latest scandal was one of those asso- ciated with him 1n the previous escapades at Galesbure. Mrs. Colhns. who had hoped that her hus- band had profited by past sins and would do better in future, is grief stricken over his latest oscapade. A reporter of T Bee called av the residence of Collins a foew weeks ago when the report of his cscapades in northern Nebraska first reached this city. The scribe found the lady in very delicate health and was dissuaded by & neighbor from broaching the matter to her. It was learnea today, however, that Mrs, Collins has been informed of her husband’s dis- graceful conduct and that cortain members of her church are rendering her such atten- tion and assistance as they find necessary. THE THiCluI‘) SUSPECTS. taate They are Brought Face to Face— The Murderous Guan. The three wmurder suspects have been brought together in the jailor's office in the county building. There were present Sher- iff Boyd, County Attorney Mahoney, Jailor Miller and a couple of private citizens. Neal and Shellenberger were brought into the room about the sume time and without kunow- g whom they were to expect were sud- denly confronted by Sherman. Neal looked at him most intently for a minute, pursed up his Lips, the lower one of which trembled, But that was all. There was nothing to show that eithrr identified the other though it seemed as if Neal made up his mind to in no way commit himself, “Do you know who this is!” asked the county attorney of Sherman and indicating Neal, 1 suppose it's Neal.” That was all he said and then his eyes sougnt the floor of the rooni. Shellenberger was then asked if ho recog- nized Sherman and curtly snswered that he id not know who he was. & During the interview the last mentioned sat with his head ou his hands moodily gaz- ing upon the floor. ‘When the interview, which was almost fu nereal ia its frigidity, had been concluded, some one remarked to Sherman that if be were put in the same cell with Neal, the lat- ter would do himup. *‘He might doit now,” Said Sherman, ‘‘ve- cause I've been sick, but in a fe! 1ys when Iget well I wouldn't mind giving him a couple of rounds, He might do me up, but that's the kind of business he's engaged in 1 guess.” There was a little grim humor in the last remark which the party to whom it was addressed seemed to appreciate. Yesterdny morning Deputy Sheriff Tighe of (Cass county passed through tho city on his way home.” He camo up with Sherman and the Douglus county ofticials yesterday even- ing und went to Lincoln to discover the gun with which the murder was committed. Sterman had told him that the weapon had been given him by Shellenbergor after the deed and he had asked what he would do with it, sugeesting that it be sold To this. Shelienber; objected, insisting that it be sold, buried or thrown away. Sherman took the weapon, he claimed, and buried it. He described tho spot as being under a pile of boards on the top of whioh vas & number of windmill fans, The boards were taken down and the ground was exam- ined. A soft spot was found where a hole nad ovidently been dug. The loose earth was shoveled out, but no gun was found. Whether Sherman had nimself removed tho weapon and foigotten whero ho con- cealed it tho second time, or iutended to de- coive the oficers is not koo Buv it s not thonght that the latter suvposition is tenable because Sherman has recoived every attention at the hands of Deputh Sherift ‘Tighe, who has been uniformly kind to him, Deputy Sheriff Tighe may depend upon one thiug, viz, that his many very kindly favorsto the members of the press will not soon be forgotten, and they ounly await an opportunity to show their appreciation of nis kindness. When seen y rday afternoon, Sherman seemed to take pleasure in telling the news en that he had been talking any verything and uothing in particular s regards his connection with the murder, e Omaha Traveling Men's Olub. The next meeting of the Omaha Traveling Men's club will ba held next Saturday even- ing instead of later, as previously decided upon. It is very important that all members of the club, and particularly the directors, shall bo present at the Hotol Casey next Saturday evening. ———— No Coliseum Saloon, All idea of stariing & saloon in connection with the building has been abandoned.

PRUESIDENT HUGHITL CONVINCED He Will Recommend the Building of the Niobrara Extension. Euclid Martin, J. 8. Brady and W. N. Nason, the board of trade committes which visited Chicago to confer with President Hughitt of the Chicago & Northwegtern railroad, to endeavor to secure the extension of its lino from Verdigre to Niobrara, re turned yesterday. Mr. Hartman, presi- dent of the real estate exchange, remained in Chicago to look after matters in connee- tion with his position on the license board. The members of the committee ware met in Chicago by Messr's Drake and Bonesteel, who were delayed for a day. They were very fa- vorably received by Mr. Hughitt. The president listened attentively to all they had 10 say and after carefully considering all their arguments expressed bimself as in favor of recommending to his directors the completion of this line as one of their firat acty in the line of the extension of their sys- tem in Nebraska, notwithstanding the un- friondly sentiment and attitude towards the roads now in operation in the state. During the iuterview Mr. Huzhitt took occasion to refer to the corn rate agitation, stating that if the farmers would 80 organ: 1ze for their mutual benefit that thoy would be able to hola their corn for six months, or till tho market recovered from its glutted condition, theyv would do more for themselves than by agitating for reduced rates. Altogether, the interview gave great en- couragement’ to the delegates, and they evidently feel confident that the building of the extension is a (question of & very short time. e Marriage Licenses.
