LATEST PHASE OF THE SITUATION Thornton's Victory Will Not End the Battle at Lincoln—Dotails of the Dis- putos Botween tho Va- rlous Factions. LixcoLy, July 8.—[Special to T Bi W'he action of the executive committee of thy state alliance last evening w a tory for Mr. Thornton, but all indications are that the battle is not yet ended. The story of the feud between the rivat leaders of the independent hosts is a long but rather Suteresting one, The Farmers Alliance was started in this city some five years ago by a young man named Armitage. He had alittle money but his newspaper experienco was limited, Juy Burrows was afterwards associated with him in the publication of the paper, and it was not long until Armitage dropped out, and the firm name became Burrows & Thompson, the latter being the secretary of the alliance, then just beginning to be a power in the state. Soon after Burrows & Thompson took hold the alliance (the organ- {zation) took wonderful spurts, and in 1580 and 150 first demonstrated its strength. “The paper was the stato organ, and with Burrows as chairman of the state executive committee and Thompson as secretai newspaper soon & valuable property od the Indep t. the Independent was established ‘thero by several enthusiastic independents, but it dragged out a weary existence until Thornton came from Kearney, pur- it and proceeded to attempt to make itn state organ to compete with Burrows' paper. The new paper was generally be- Loved-to have beon backed by General Van Wyck, who was thon at bitter war with Burrows, and to its standard flocked all his friends and those who did not love the Filley statesman, © Suddenly the announcement was made that tho Lwo papers were Lo be consolidated, ws withdrawing because, it was ex- ill health of his wife, who required his caro and attention. ‘Thornton 100k ehurge as oditor-in-chief of the consoli- dated paper, Thompson, however, retaining his interest until last December, when his stock was levied on by attachment and sold for a fow paltry dol Mr. Thornton's friends have always contended that the attachwent proceedings was merely a ruse on the part of Thompson to withdraw from the pape hompson partially corrob rates it b ag that the controlling futerest was piling up debts and endeavor- g to freeze out stockholders, Iu tho meanwhilo W. C. Holden came on from Keaney, started his Liberty, and turned in to make it warm for Thornton, Dech, Wolfe, Pirtlo and the element in the pops that had the upperhand. In his fight some very bitter things were said, and Thornton insists that Burrows wrote or in- spired most of thom. He in turn lampoone Burrows aud Holden, aud later when Bur- rows & Thompson began the publication of tho Alliance Leader and said some scorching things about Thornton, he took revengo by filing charges ugainst both of thom, basing his evidence on what he had found in the books of the Alliauce Publishing company, when they came wto the hauds of the new company Substance of the Charges. The charges have never been indicated, but the ounes against son were that he had ate alliance from times & reasonabla that the firm of Burror Thompson had itself done; that he charged up to the state alliance as rental for Lbo secretary’s ofice au awount which equaled the rent fully Thomp- charged tho two w0 sx rice for work te ailiance, 'he testimony was heard by tho stato ox- ecutive committee yesterday, and the find- ings were that the first charge was sus- but_the other two were not. The inst Burrows wero in effect that g as chairman of the state exec: © committee he had audited the exorbi 1t printing claims of Burrows & Thomp- on, knowing them to be exorbitant, and vio- lating the confidence of tho fellow-members of the committee, who relied on him as the ouly member of the committeo witha knowl- edge of the printing busi to see that all such bills presented were correct. The com- mittee, however, refused to cousider th charges. at all, following in its reasoning the decision of the supreme court in the r cont impeachment cases, that an ex-oflicer could not be impeached for misdemennors committed while in ofice. DIED TO AVOID ARREST, Ben W. Jobnson, a Gago County Farmer, Takes # Doso of Polson, ~[Special Telegram to |—Ben W. Johuson, a farmer living about seven miles cast of this place, com- mitted suicide yesterday evening by taking poison. The symploms suggest strychnine, but it is not known positively what drug he used. During the afternoon an ofcer from Beatrice called at his place and informed Johnson's wife and children thathe had u warrant for his arrest for mortgaging prop- erty which was not in existence. Mrs. Jobn- on started with him to hunt Johnson up, ho having gone to Diller. Johuson came home before they found him and the children told him of the ofiicer's mission. After putting his team away he lod the children, a girl about 13 and & boy 8, and kissed them, telling them he was golug Lo die. He then lald down on the porch and died in terrible convulsions. The amount involved was about &0. Johnson has been in considerable financial trouble for several years, but was considered honorable. ‘The funeral was held today and_the re- mains buried here by the United Workmen and Modern Woodmen, ho being a member of both organizatiozs. = His lifo insurance in the orders amounts to &,000, Johnson was one of the fi old Otoe reservation, b Guge county from near Columbus, Wis., when the land first came into market., Ho located his claim six miles west of Odeli, and has resided thero ever sine t settlers of tho ving removed to Keoarney Afairs, = KeANEY, July 8.—(Special to Tie Bee]— Wednesday afternoon, while George See was handling some pineapples just received from the south, he saw & young tarantula, Ho eaught it iu a glass jar, ‘and now has it preserved in aleohol. It measured, when spread out, over four inches from tip to tip. Ono of the most_interesting and exeiting foatures of the Fourth of July celebration in Kearney was the wild wost show, George Hulbert, who used to drive a stage from Kearney to the Black Hills twenty y-ars ago, still has tho original vehicle, and * that evening a uumber of citizens, dr up as 15 and cowboys, reproduced a real that once occurred wlong tho® route, Hulbert himsolf drove the four- horse team, and the old stage was filled ' with passengers, whon all of a sudden they were attacked by the lndians. A dozen or so of the cow- bows hearing the firing, came dashing up and, after o short, sharp fire, drove the red s offt. The fun of tho affair is that the itlc express went through just then and sowe passengers ou tho train thought it was uu actual occurrence and some of the ladies could hardly be made to belisve that it was only 1n $port. ‘The returns made by the county clerk to tho secrotary of state show there are in Buffalo county, as returned and certified to y the various' assessors, 14770 horses, 27,- T3 cattle, 841 mules, 18,200 sheep, 25,600 hogs and 4,443 carriages and wagons.

Averill of Bath, N, Y., was in the eity yesterday, visiting the Soldiers and Sailors home. He is national inspector of soldiers and sailors homes, and gave his opinion of the local home i the following remarks: *This is my sixth visit to the home, and great progress and im- provement is shown sincomy first visit to Nebraska. Most of the improvements sulted from necessity, and in some respects it has been unfortunate in having frequent changes in tho administration, by which the steady progress b boen inter- rupted. It lacks energy on the part of state authorities, Thero are several things that would have been of great benofit if done, Trees are two years old which should be five and six yearsold. Nomoney has been spent which shows as o result so much benefit as that spent on grading and drain- ing the grounds ana in_ sotting out trees. | think, too, there is a want of liberality as to the provision for the future needs of tho home. A soldiers home ought not to be run like & poor house. Thero arc repairs re- | quired and no funds to do them with, “But in spite of all the drawbacks and misfortunes it is_certainly becoming a_com- fortable and weil regulatéd soldiers homo, It compares favorably with other howes of tho same age and is {n remarkably good con- dition, considering the waat of attention to which it has been subject.” He will mect a car load of disablod and invalid veterans at Hot Springs, whero a trial will bo made of the mineral waters of that point.
