Dick Roberts, who has been employed for the past month or louger as hostler by Dr. C. H. Pinney, been detected in a little charity work enov hich is commendal In the eyes of his proteges, but rather ex- pensive for his emloyer. Yesterday Deputy Sherift Charles Peterson was in the fr room of the fail buflding when he a slight click. He glanced out of the w Just in ti ee a large black bottle with neck perambulating w casing. At the w Roberts dodge aroun n, just across rushed upstairs of the a string ti ound th up the side same moment . of Dr. Pinney's ba from the jail. He who was at the other end and saw Bill Criss trying to c al thing under the pillow of his bunk. On door he found that the mysteri- hing which f sight was the bottle, as filled with grape wine, the corner the alley to sce ring son opening the ous some to put ont the bottle Criss was 8o anxious and that which was €0 strong that the mlcohol it contained could be plainly smelt, The bottle was con- fiscated. 1is is not the first time this sort of thing has occurred under somewnat different cir- cumstances, It seems that Roberts has bee furnishing jags to some of the ‘‘trusties about the jail without money and without price for some little time. BIill Criss, a man named Pe and the other prisoners who were regarded as “‘trusties " have been in the habit of slipping over to the Pinney barn when they had a good chance, and Imbibing the liquid refreshments which Roberts fished up from the cellar. The jailer noticed that some of the prisoners had no particular trouble in ing no but it accumulating jags, notwithstand- liquor was allowed in the building, was hard to find out who it was that was standing between them and death frox an unholy thirst. Roberts was finally picked on as the probable person, and Dr. Pinney was notified. He found that his cellar, which had been well stocked with wine, was empty, 50 generous had his coachman been. Saturday morning Criss was absent from the jail and a search was instituted for him. On the street Sheriff Hazen met a colored friend of his, who, in response to a question, said: “Co'se 1 knows whah he Is; Bill's down to Mrs. Pralor's. He's drunk.” “Here's a pretty how-dy-do,” was about the substance of the sheriff’s mental re- marks: “Bill's supposed to be serving out a sentence in the county fail for larc:ny, and instead of that he's down at Mrs. Pralor’s, drunk He at once went to Mrs. Pralor’s, and found the darky had told him the truth. Criss was not only drunk, he was very, very drunk. When he arrived at the jait with the sheriff he was in a fighting condition and refused to be searched. Sheriff Hazen had to throw him to the floor twice, and finally, with one knee planted firmly on the darky's throat, he managed to empty his pockets. In one of them he found a large knife, wide open and ready for business. Criss now oc- upies a cell and will do so until the end his term of office. Roberts has laid himself lizble to a criminal prosecution, and it Is extremely likely that today will find him engaged in his time-honored occupation, wearing the upholstery off the divans in the county jail. At any rate, he will not be currying Dr. Pinney’s horses. DETERMIN Young Hungarian Makes All Arrangements for His Own Funeral. Rev. Stephen Phelps, D.D., pistor of the First Presbyterian church, received a call Saturday afternoon from a young Hungarian Jew named Lyahim. He was faultlessly dressed and bore all the outward appear- ances of prosperity, but he announced on entering the house that he had determined to commit euicide. He showed Dr. Phelps a ring he was wearing on his finger and gaid that he had worn it ever since child- hood. He wanted the clergyman to see that ho was given a decent burial, and to take tho ring from his finger after he was dead in payment for his trouble. Dr. Phelps very naturally was not disposed to accept the young man's offer without knowing moro about his case and pressed him for an explanation. I left Hungary a few years ago,” said he, “leaving my father in almost destitute cir- cumstances. He had been well off, but a rascally friend of his ran away to America, taking with him $52,000 of my father's money and leaving him in poverty. I went to Tacoma, where I got employment, which enabled m> to send my father §25 a month to support him. lately I lost my place and became the victim of a number of other misfortunes. I started bick for the east and found myself stranded in Councl Bluffs, without money or friends. Concluding 1 would be better off dead than alive, I deter- mned to commit suicide. I walked down to the river, but just as I was about to throw myself in, T recollected that when my Iy was found people would say I was flee- from the consequences of some crime or trying to escape my debts, and I decided to find some good man who would see that I was given a_proper burial.” He pointed to a scar on the back of his neck and said that was the result of a stab given him by the man who had robbed his father. The thief had run across him out west and tried to kill him in order to get some papers which the young man had in his possession and which contained all the evidences of his crime that were in existence. Having confided this much of his story to the clergyman, he said good-by and turned suddenly to go out. Dr. Phelps Intercepted him and was com- pelled to hold him back almost by main force, while he tried to talk him out of his rash resolve. He at last succeedsd in doing this and the young man agreed to try to reach friends of his who lived in Des Molnes. Dr. Phelps was firmly convinced of the young man's sincerity and congratulates himself on his having cheated the coroner of Pottawattamie county out of a job, which, however, may fall to the lot of the coroner of some other county in case the young man has another attack of the blues.

She went to the house of Mrs. LaFord and startled the occupants by her wild, rambling talk, which gave them the fdea that a man was the cause of her grief. While at the house she took something out of her bosom, which Mrs. LaFord took away from her and found it to be a package of strychnine. She left the house soon after Chief Scanlan spent the whole afternoon scouring the country around in the direction which she had taken.

One of iregory Jensen’ but the Other ¢ Detectives Visitors Caught, ot Away. Savage and D:mpsey of Omaha ran across a couple of suspicions-looking characters In Omaha yesterday afternoon Dempsey arrested one and Savage thought he had the other, but he was mistaken. The one Dempsey had was taken to the city Jail, where he gave his name as Sommers Among his effects were a silver watch, a Smith & Wesson revolver, and $21 in cash, all of which he admitted were a part of the stufi stolen Saturday morning from the residence of Gregory Jenscn near the trans- fer, mention of which was made in yester- day's Bee. The fellow who got away, he id, was his pal. They came in on the Mil- waukee from Chicago Saturday morning and went to Jensen's house to get a drink. They found no one was at home, and decided it was a gocd time to get In their work. They ransacked the house, took all the val- uables they could find and then divided the spolls between them. Sommers will be brought to this city as soon as requisition papers can be obtained, and the officers hope to recap- ture his companion. Ganymedes Liave an Outing. About twenty members of the Ganymede Wheel club, together with twice as many other wheelmen from Omaha, took an out- ing yesterday to Sarpy Mills, on the Ne- braska side of the Big Muddy. They spent the day in the usual way, putting a large amount of lunch out of sight which had been prepared by Captain Willlamson of this city and Captain Livesey of Omaha. The place was an ideal one for a picnic and the boys all pronounce the affair one of the finest ever enjoyed by the club. There were no accidents to speak of, with the exception of a puncture or two and a frac- ture of the pedal crank of B. M.

A Base Ball Enthusiast Whom No Foreigner Can Hope to Understand. is one type of American ecitizen which it is certain no foreign critic will ever be able to understand, says the New York Sun. It does not make much diffe ence who the critic may be, when he con- fronts tho type of silent and suffering base ball crank he will be at sea. It is a type that is familiar to all the attendants at the ball games and to the many men who are There acquainted wish the world of sports. The howling dervish sort of crank is known to all men, but the silent and suffering one usually bafiles analysis. In the majority of Instances he is a man of mature years, who has secured an important place in the financial or commercial world, His passion for base ball is a thing that passes all understanding. He is on hand at the games whenever it is possible, but always takes a retiring and unobtrusive seat, where he sits with an outward air of boredom and indifference, but really suffering from emo- tions that are violent and tempestuous. It it is only when he grits his teeth, drives his nails into the palms of his hands, or sud- denly lets out a blood-curdling scream that the spectator gets any idea of the emo- tions which are aroused by the playing. At other times the tremor of his eyelids or the flerce fashion in which he bites his lips as he watches the game indicate how closely he participates in the fortune of the home team. There is one instance of a banker of sedate mien, with white mutton chop whiskers and a Smug exterior, who, when spoken to on the question of base ball, smiles, shrugs his shoulders and re- fuses to be drawn into a discussion. Yet at dinner at night he is wildly jubiiant or im- moderately depressed, according to the re- sults of the day's game. He has not missed a day's game this year, except on Tuesdays and Fridays, when he fs compelled to be present at board meetings. He is only one of literally hundreds of men who are known to the frequenters of the ball grounds, and who are wound up in the national game to a degree of absorption that even the de- votees of racing could not rival. the famous Excelsior, THE CASPAIGNCAN NEBRASKA (C(‘Hllnufid lrnH fl'nl Page.) to announce himself, and probabilities are that there will be no-#emocrat in the fleld pless it |y ex-Sheril K J.

Akers of Collins, who is likely to be the republican nominee for state senator in the Thirtieth district. He is a farmer, an old soldier, ex- nt stump speaker, etc., and probabiy the best posted irrigationist in Nebraska. DAWSON COUNTY. Frank Bacon will be the republican candi- date for representative. He is farmer and ranchman; has lived In Dawson county about ten years, but owing to his absence from the county a sketch of his life is not at present obtainable. He has had no political career. There will be no democratic candidate any office in this section or coun J. 0. Lynch, the populist representative of two years ago, will be renominated. With Jack MacColl the representative can- didate for governor Bacon will be elected repres tive, with a good chance for him in_any event. Relative to whose candidac one of the republican prominent ticket for the for the candidate for governor, meets with the warm ap- proval not only of the republicans, but also of democrats and populists, would say his name is MacColl. SHERMAN COUNTY. Sherman county has several aspirants in the populist ranks for representative and the ones most favorably spoken of are James Zink of Loup City township and E. A. Draper of Elm township. Candidates on the republican and demo- cratic tickets are as yet unanncunced, as the county is strongly independent. On the independent ticket for senator are J. M. Snyder, chaplain of the last senate, and Moses H. Smith. In the race for congressman Aaron Wall will have the solid support of the republi- cans of Sherman county should he deem it expedient to allow his name to come up before the Broken Bow convention. hn W. Long of this city is nominated for attorney general on_the prohibition ticket. MERRICK COUNTY. The political pot {hasynot commenced to boil as yet, although.several prospective can- didates are scanning, the:field. There will no candidates for gtatay officers from this county in any of tha park W. F. Porter's name is frequently men- tioned in connection-with the populist nomi- nation for congress, while many of the popu- lists favor J. M. Devine.,, Mr. Porter’s name is mentioned in gonnection with the nomination for the senate and house. An effort will be made {0 renominate him for the senate. The name of Judge A. Ewing is heard as a probable candidate. for, the house on the populist ticket. 0 The democrats arg. tog badly demoralized to_have a candidate for,any office. Republicans _favor. the Tenomination of Meiklejohn. D. Y. cm‘k is talked of as a candidate for the senale, The names of W. T. Thompson, I 8. Tyndall and Robert Campbell are regarded as being among the most available to select from. Still there is little talk or speculation as to who will be the nomince for the house. Republicans in this county generally favor Jack MacColl for governor. HOWARD COUNTY. There are no candidates whatever in the fleld here from either party, nor have there as yet been any conventions held, nor has any time been decided upon by the central committee for holding same. People here of all parties are opposed to early political con- ventions. Amongst the republicans here the raflroad crowd, headed by the Pauls and Chinns, will, I suppose, as usual, run the republican m chine and the rest of us be relegated ¢o the rear. Same conditions here in the demo- cratic camp, and I suppose the populists, same as the last two or three years, will gobble up everything. HALL COUNTY. As far as is generally. known there are only two populist cand.dates for the legis- lature this fall. They are Ed S. Lee, chair- man of the Hall county board of super- visors, ana J. L. Johnson, representative in 1893, 'Mr. Lee is perhaps the most popular populist in the county. There seems to be no definite understand- ing as yet as to whether thefe is a_ demo- cratic party in this county or not, and hence no one has ventured to announce himself in the hands of his friends for any demo- cratic honors whatsoever, except, perhaps, W. H. Thompson. It must be confessed that there are quite a number of republican aspirants, who know a sure thing when they see it. There's W, H. Harrison and George H. Thummel of this city and Riley Wescott, Riley Abbott, Z. Avery, George C. Humplrey, A. L. Scudder, Martin Ennis and R. P. McCutcheon outside the city. W. H. Harrison and Riley Abbott wero candidates two years ago and were defeated. The more do they seem to think the plum Is theirs by right of such defeat. F. W. Barber of this city is a candidate for nomination by the republican state con- vention for the office of superintendent of public instruction. He is gaining great strength in this section of the state and will be a formidable adversary to the other candidates. Mr. Barber was educated in an Tllinois college and has studied law, being a regularly admitted. member of the Hall county bar. Howard county, it is understood, will per- mit Hall county to name the senators this time, and it is stated that W. H. Thompson would not be averse to an election. BOONE COUNTY. The republican candidate for the legisla- ture will undoubtedly be F. P. Judd, ex- county treasurer, who has several times proved his strength before the people by carrying this county against an adverse majority. R. F. Martin has also been men- tioned, but nine republicans out of ten are for Juad. James Barnes, a leading farmer, Is most likely candidite of tne representative. Editor Baird of the Cedar will be the populiét candidate from this county, 1t is generally supposed thar Hon. W Poynter will be a candidate ror a place on the populist stater ticket. .Mr. ‘Poynter has served In both branches of the legisla- the populists for Republican for senator Nt & ture and was deféated by Meiklejohn for congress in 1892, and for this reason there 1s a manifestation of preference by the popu- lists in his favor for governor, as this county Is solid for Poynter. Democrats are reticent, and no very de- cided stand is taken by republicans, but as between MacColl and Majors, this county will support MacColl, YORK COUNTY. The following named gentlemen are prom- inently hamed candidates who will gppear before their respective conveutions, It not being known whether the democrats will place a ticket in the field: John Ittner, M. Oberg and J. E. Tracey are desirous of representing the populists in the legislature. M. Johnson and C. R. Keckley, who were in the last legislature, are candidates for re-clection. although Keck ley Is being fought by both of the republican papers of this county. Dr. J. B. Canaway is mentioned as & prominent populist candi- date for the legislature. York county will present the name of Prof. H. A.

There are no' candidates for places on either of the state tickets in Polk county. On governor MacColl has the leal over Majors, and if it lies between these-two will undoubtedly get the delegation. If it should prove true that Crounse is in the race he will get the support of Polk count Bryan will get the democratic d it he is a candidate. Gaffin s in the lead among the populists and the sentiment is very .strong among them against any fusion on Bryan. MADISON COUNTY. The majority of the republicans of this county fayor MacColl for -governor, but Crounse has a strong following if. he would accept the nomination. HERALDRY OF THE PLAINS. The Soclal Bearings of Cattle Branding in the Western States. The subject of the brand discovers itself, sooner or later, in one way or another, in most of the affairs of cattle country life, says a writer in McClure's. The ufiaccompanied children of lonely and remote ranches play at roping and branding each other. The wife of the kindly, liberal-hearted cattleman will nearly always be given her own brand; often his little girls as well. These brands may begin in a little bunch of cows or a few brood mares; but with no demands up the “increase,”’ they soon grow to very respectable herds of cattle or bunches of horses. 1t sounds wonderfully plcturesque and western to hear a dainty little ninety-pound woman, speaking of some feminine or ar- tistic luxury, remark: “Well, T can have it it I can sell off some beef this fall,” or to have a bright girl, discussing the relative desirability of a course at an art school, or an eastern pleasure trip, assure you that she can easily meet the expense of whichever she decides upon by selling her 1880 crop of colts, which are now 4-year-olds and just broken. You blind, legation would not suppose that the small, insufficiently-clad deity of the bow and quiver would ever neglect his classic weapan to concern himself with so gross and barbarous utensil as a branding iron. Yet such things have been. I have heard the tale how that, away back in the '70s, there appeared (along with the rest of her family), in one of the far-out plain counties of the Texas cattle country, a fair one by the romantic and mellifluous name of Lilybel Plunkett. For the capricious and uncertain favor of this, the only marriageable young lady in the district, all the susceptible“and un- attached cowboys (of which cla's the popu- lation almost wholly consisted) strove to- gether eagerly and without ceasing, may- ericking right and left everything they could lay their hands cn, with a running brand L. I. L. until, when the tenderfoot she had all along been engaged to came out and married her, she brought him great herds of L. L L. cattle, with which they gayly set up a ranch beneath the noses of the forlorn celibate community. Also, there was Buck Redmond, who, when he had quarrelled with his swee t (old man Drake's daughter, known facetiously as “the duck’), proceeded to singe upon the hide of an fncidental maverick his burning resentment of the scorns, gibes and indigni- ties she had heaped upon him in the heat of her anger and the Immunity of her sex. It was a delicate example of cowboy re- partee, the retort bucolic, to catch up this unfortunate third party, brand it all over its helpless bovine side in great sprawling letters, D U C K, and turn the capering bon mot loose where it could not fall of meeting the eyes of the cruel fair one. The performance served its purpose of deadly affront, the Drake -boys holding for some time that the obligation was upon them fi:n. . BANFORD, President.
