The! liveliest scenes we in Powers corner, where for a the crowd of spectators was assembled. The prohibition attorney, V. 0. Strickler, was the first witness sworn, Ho testitied as follows : A an attorney and reside in the city of Omaha. Am acjuainted with Charles Conn, Was told by Sam McLeod that Conn was ployed to go to one of the polling pla the Sixth ward on election day to see that 1o challenging was done and to do all tho slug- ging that was necessa He came to my office in response o a message and said that at o meeting of the ward republican ciub, In g the quostion of challenging at. tho polls, it was decided to have none of it and they employed several persons, himself mong others, 0 go to the polis and slug challengers if that was the only to pre- vent them from worcing. He gave me to un- derstand that he attended the meeting of tho republican club as a svy, and this was later found out by tho iblicans and_they re- voked his comuission. He promised to go to Lincoln to testify but failed to go, sending word that the'man he worked for wouldu't . him off, Cross-lixamined him to the republic Said Wharton was thereat the time. Coun did not say who employed him, but gave me to infer that 1t whs the Sixth Ward IRepublican club, Sam McLeodsworn—-Coun worked for me all summer, 1 knew there was goiug to be treachery in Douglas county amoug the re- publicans who were going to lenife Richards, and I got him to attend a secret meeting in Lis ward and he told me that they were going o employ men at the polls to keep prohibi tionists from doing any challonging. Cross-exumined—Conn_lives at eighth 4nd Burdetts, Dow't know why ho couldu’t be subpaenaed. Went there to find mm during working hours and ho wasn't there, Mr. Wharton was then sworn at his own request and stated that be knew nothing of any such talk at any meeting of his ward club, but that, on tho contrary, all efforts wero directad toward having a quiet and peaceable election. The Powers attorneys introduced n ver- dant youth of nineteen years named F. M, Moore, whose home is in Missouri, and who came to Omaha last Sebtembor. ' It soems that whon the alliance-prohibitionists failed to got the registration books in evidence, they decided to do what seemed to thom the next best thing—get a copy of them. M, Ricketts admitted they could not stand tho expense of proceeding in the legal way and pay the clork for making certitied copies, so they st some boys to work copying them, Moore was one of theso copyists, and he worked Wednesday afternoon, Friday and Saturday of last week, and as a result brought in several sheots of paper with nearly a thousand names of voters who wero naturalized last fall and voted at tho state election. the timo Twenty- - Mr. Wharton objected to the introduction of any such evidence, as it was not shown what candidate the vorers supported. The objection was overruled, and Mr. Wharton applied hiwself to cross-examining tho wit- neuwmun energy that struck consterna- tion to the hearts of O]:]msing coun- sel. The attorney started to quose y tion the witness concerming each voter named in the list, and the otherside objected, The prohibition notary sustained the ovjec tion, holding that the attorney was employ- ing tbstructionary measures,” but the other \llk of the court™ rulod otherwise, aud the udstioning continued until 4 v'clock, when the witness said he had to go, as he car an evening paper route, and he was relea ‘with the understanding that he woula return at 0:15 to tell some of the things that bhe did not know, Mr. Whartou then wanted to cross-examine the witness Chambers, whose cross-examina. tion had been deferred in order to enable the contestants to introduce the witness Moore, Opposing counsel uh}m ted, and both attor noys found it convenfont to talk at the same each calling his full lung power iuto tion ln advauciug bis arguments, al tim requl ~ though noise seemed to be the great desider atum, Mr, Wharton seemed to have the advan. tagein making himself heard and Mr, Rick- etts then devoted himsell to introduct o of biogrs nphh'.fl in evidenco, Dur: ing this proceeding Mr. Wharton was orating forcibly in support of his objoction and Mr. Ricketts had his form extended | over the table and was pounding his volco into the ear of the stenographer, who was doing his level best to take down rylbing that was going on. Occasionally | Notary Thomas would try to get in & word or twoedgewise in support of Mr. Ricketts, but his volce was v lost o tho shuflle. In the long run, Mr. Ricketts' short line to the stenographer’s ear told in nis favor, and he was finally allowed to introduce’ his evidence touching the citizenship of Mr, Boyd, although ~ the latte counsel urged that c grounds na The other effect was night, troduc tices m before uenship was not one of the in the uotice of contest, de urged that a notice to this rved upon Mr. Boyd last Friday nd aithoneh the Boyd “attorneys in- statutes showing thatall no- served on the contest ton days taking of testimony and within on, the Powers the (]ll\\ after the el 'y ruled that the evidence should be ad mitted, and test The evidence consisted of a history of No- braska and the Omaba Illustrated of 188, both containing sketches of James 1.

Know M Am in the real c: in Omaha five y . Had a con- versation with hlr Ye The first con- versation was in Mr, Yeiser's office. It was a general talk on prohibition. He took papers out of his drawer and laying them on the desk before me, said he would show mo what would upset the anti-prohibitionists generally, Hesaid he had papers he had got from the records, Said he was tryingto make a deal with the republican central com- mittee, but from what they had said he did I thought he was joking at first, Have nottestifled here Yeiser and Mr. Ewell, Have been not think he could get it'through, He gave mo to understand his information was for sale. e he could show that outside were to be broughtin tovote. Told himif he had any- thing against anti-prohibition he could c tainly disposeof it. Hesaid that was what he wanted todo. He said he gob up his pa- pers to make something out of. Saw himat my oftice later, DMr. Ewell was there, ashe ofiiced with mo at that time. Yeiser haaa long talk with us at that _time and said that he wanted &2,000 for the Information ho possessed. Wo told him we would see thoe parties on the othor side. One of us_was tosee him later and let him koow. Ho talked alone with Ewell. Cross-oxaminod—The understanding was that wo would try to make the dealand we would have part of it for our services, Went to Mr. O'Donahoe and told him of the case, and that Yeiser claimed to ha information that would carry proh bition. 1 did not talk to ~ O'Dona- hoe until after Ewell had seen him, Cowell had explained it to him. He said the information did not amount to anythin 1 have left several mnotes on Mr. Yeiser's desk. He was trying to collect a judgment and I was helping him. Y did pot mveigle him to my office for this prohibition business through one of thoso notes, This might ha been talked about, but he was not wequestod to come for something else and have this sprung on _him. T talked with him about 1t on a dozen differ- ent occasions, He said there was not time for anyone clse to copy the records be- fore election. Yeiser claimed he had worked over a monthto make the copies he had. Told him he could use them elsewhere even ifhis deal with the republican central com- wittee fell through, said perhaps he could do as well with other parties as with tho central committee. Ho said he had te make something out of it Re-direct—We did notput upany scheme, Yeiser mado the first proposition.” He said he had worked for & month to get up the material, We took statement for it. He wanted us to make the sale for him, but we found it poor material and no market, The liquor mon never said anythang to me about the matter. This was the last testimony introduced, and only two short hours before the lim fixed by law had expired the final adjour ment was taken by both sides, and the so- called contest is now virtually in the hauds of the logislature. coretary Windom today received tho report of Special Agent Whitehead inregard to alleged frauds in the matter of goods shipped from Canada, buthe refused to disclose the character of its con- tents for the reason that it applied to the consular and did not reficot in the slightest degree upon the troasury custorns service, Ho referred the report 10 the secretary of state.

Berrast, Dec. 20.—[Special Cablegram to Tie Ber.] —What {s supposed to be o myste- rious and tragic suicide is @ present the sen- sation of the duy in thisneighborhood. From accounts given out by the police, who main- tain a mysterious silence upon many im- portantlinks in the story, the following ap- pear to be the facts in the case A man named MeDow who, it is sup posed, was born in this city, went to South Africa some ye ago, finally settled down {n the diamond mine region and managed to accumulate a fortune there. About seven weeks ago McDowell realized upon his belongings in South Afeica and pro- pared to return to Iveland. Provious toso doing, however, he married a beautiful girl in Kimberly, the celebrated diamond mining town. After his marriage McDowell sailed with his bride for this country. After their arrival here, Mr. and M McDowell passed some time in tho city and then seem tohave settled down at_Bangor, on Belfast Lough, with the intention of passing their honeymoon at that place. Last night the inhabitants of Bangor wore thrown into @ state of great excite- ment when it became known that the body of Mrs, McDowell had been found by the roadside just outside tho town, with an empty. bottle, supposed to have contained poison, Iying beside her. So far these areall the facts obtainable from the police, who aro investigating the mystery. — - We are astonished at parties who intro- duce new remedies for coughs when they kuow Uu' people wilt have Dr. Bull's Cough 1p.) “King are lik They have he meaner men, and lvation Oil, HALL HA Sy stars, they rise and set.' che, ‘cats, and hurts like © just assure o call for S A SOALP, But He Modestly Declines to Tell by Whom it Was Taken.
