SAMPLES OF THE DISGUST EXPRESSED Prominent Workers Who to Sit Down Crow 11 for Positively Refuse at the It ts of Farther Woe e Bourbons. net of The action of the democratic lon In calmly lying down inside the popullstic lamb last Wednesday has opened up about all the old sores that had been in the uct of healing. The fact of twenty-six delegates out of a total of ninety-six being opposed to the nom- fnee in the convention would mean but little of itself under ordinary clrcumstances, but in the present case there is a principle In- volved and the dissatisfied ones are not dis- posed to eat their crow with the same ap- parent relish as if they had been defeated by the supporters of a democrat In good fellowship I democrat a pla “there election don't see what was they meant,” said one who carefully excluded from on the congressional delegation; nothing for us to gain from the of Weaver. He lsn't a democrat, and doesn’t pretend to be. The proper thing for our people to have done would have been to put up a candidate of our own and then, it we had to, get whipped. We are simply making fools of ourselves by trailing our flug in the dust before we have to.” And that fs the way scores of Council Blufis democrats look at it. Men of the stamp of Lucius Wells, John Schoentgen and Ira F. Hendricks have given it out cold that they do not like Weaver and that they shall not vote for him; they will stay at home first Out in Cass county the feeling against Weaver is the strongest, and the bliterness at the treatment the delegation received at the hands of the convention is unmistakable. This delegation was sat down upon squarely no less than three times during the con- vention, and its leader, Judge Willard, one of the best men and best democrats in the district, was openly insulted on the tform of the opera house. are 500 democrats in Cass county who will vote for Hager,” remarked a dem- ocrat of that county Wednesday night to what he thought was a brother democrat “And of the rest fully half will stay at home on election day.” Another delegate was talking with a re- puhlican of this city who had so many demo cratic symptoms that he mizht be casily mistaken for a bourbonite. “I was cpposed to nominating Weaver,” said the republican “for we can never elect him in the world. “I know that,” was the reply of the Weaver man; “but don't say anyiling about it, don't say anything about it.” It is commonly understood by those on the outstde that when Weaver's cndarsement by the democrats was determined upen it was by virtue of an agreement between (he democrats and populists that the latter, in consideration for the democratic support of their idol, would not put up any county ticket in any of the counties of the district, but would come in and help the democrats elect their candidates. This, it seems, is not the understanding the populists of Pot- tawattamie county have of the matter. One of the foremost of the party Is quoted as saying that his party would undoubtedly put up a ticket this fall, and do its best to elect it, too. The populists now have all they want in the way of congressional chances, and they are willing to let the democrats shift for themselves in the county as best they can. The demccrats wink significantly when the defection of Editor Frank Allen of the Audubon Advocate is mentioned, and say: “Oh, he'll come around all right.” There is a man named Carpenter living at Aud bon who has a newspaper outfit that has Dbeen lylng in a state of innocuous desuctude for the past two years. He Is a democrat, and stands ready to start up a demceratic paper in case Audubon finds itself without a democratic organ. This, of course, would break Editor Allen's present monopoly as the fountain head of truth. That fact will be laid before him, and it is eluimed he is enough of a prophet to see what will happen in case he refuses to come in out of the wet. is to MORE 100 DRESSES. anison Iiros.

Some wheelmen are of the the riders will reach here e neun, but others claim that in view of the dusty and hilly condition of the roads through Lowa it will be impossible for them to pile up the time as they have in Illinois and Indiana, so that they do not look for the riders to strike Council Bluffs before about 7:30 o'clock this evening.

Imit.ted the “Profession.’ Rolla Shugart, a young man who s well known to all patrons of Manmawa, had & rather embarrassing experimce yesterday morning while practicing up on hig part of understudy to the ‘professor” who is making daily exhibitions at the lake. A wire is stretched on an incline alcng the beach at the Grand plaza fr u distance of about 300 fect, and down this wire the “professor” 1s wont to make lis “slide for life,” by means of a strap, one ¢nd of which is carried in his teeth and the other fastened to a pully which slides down the wire. Shugart mounted the strap yesterday morn- ing and had just gotten fairly started on uis slide for life when the pully in some way got caught and he was unable to get either down or up. He hung in midair, with his legs and his vocal chords playmg a duet on the atmosphere at the rate of about 5,000 vibrations a minute. Andy Bowling finally saw the predicament his friend was in and ran nobly to the rescue with a long ladder, with which Shugart was enabled to climb down from his thirty foot perch.

How the Due ment Near the close of the last century rumors ot a French Invasion alsrmed Great Brit ain and aroused military ardor to such an extent as to lead to fresh regiments being raised. In one of a series of interesting sketches by Hon. Mrs. Armytage of “'British Mansions and the Mistresses Past and Pre ent,” recently published in Tinsley's Maga zine, the raising by the famous duchess of Gordon of the battalion of Gordon High- land which has since held such a distin guished place in military annals, is thus described: “The duchess of Gordon s sald to have had a wager with the prince gent as to which of them would first raise a battalion, and that the fair lady reserved to herself the power of offering a reward even more attractive than the King's shill- ing. At all events the duchess and Lord Huntly started off on their errand, and be- tween them soon raised the required num ber of men. The mother and son fre- quented every fair in the countryside, beg- ging the fine young Highlanders to come forth in support of king and country and to enlist in her regiment, and, when all other arguments had failed, rumor said that a kiss from the beautiful duchess won the doubtful recruit. SMe soon announced to headquarters the formation of a regiment and entered into all the negotiations with the military authorities in & most business like manner, repcrting that the whole regi ment were Highlanders save thirty-five Lord Huntly was glven the first command of this corps, then and ever s known as the Ninety-second or Gordon Highlanders, and wearing the tartan of the clan.” Busin ss Befo wsure.

Today has been taken up very largely with regimental and other reunfons, nearly every regiment and com- paty In the state being represented. A public reception was held at the state house this evening. Among the distingulshed visitors present {s General John W. Noble of St. Louls, who was at the head of the Third lowa cavalry. This occasion promises to be an event only second in point of magnitude and enthusiasm to the great review held in this city twenty- two ago, when the soldiers of Towa flocked to Des Moines by tens of thousands to greet Generals Grant, Sherman and others. Since then many thousands of the old heroes have jolned the silent majority.

WERE HIGH ROLLERS, Sioux City End of the Hawkeye Commis Company Muddle. SIOUX CITY, Aug. 9.—(Special Telegram to The Bee.)—James F. Booge, of the de- funct Hawkeye and Frazee-Booge Commi sion companies, the senior member of the old packing firm of Booge & Co., was one of the ploneer pork packers and engaged in the business here in a small way as long as twenty-five years ago. His business grew gradually, improving, until six years ago he had a national reputation as a packer, and operated one of the larg:st houses on the Missouri river under the title of the Booge Packing company, his sons, Gomer and WiIL, and nephew, H. D. Booge, Jr., be- ing assoclatsd with him. He was also fortunate in real estate speculations, and his assoclates in business shared his fortunes with him, Four years ago he was casily worth $1,000,000, and his family was worth $200,000 at the least. He became involved financially at that time, partially because of losses in real estate in San Francisco and here, but mostly because of reverses on the Chicago Board of Trade, and while he paid his debts, it soon became known that the fortune of the family was lost, for the boys lost heavily with him. His packing business went to the Fowler company of Chicago at a sacrifice, and large real estate intercsts held by the members of the old company went to satisfy their debts. Probably $500,- 000 worth of thelr best holdings were trans- ferred to Mrs. James F. Booge before the crash of 1893 came, which took down with it the Sloux City & Northern road, in which the Booges were largely Interested, and In (his way they retained control of some of the best tenement property in the —city. Much of the property is also held in the name of the Booge Inyestment company, which Is a fairly well-to-do corporation. The Hawkeye Commission company and the Frazee-Booge Commisslon company were organized here by them, but never engaged in businees at this point. They had head- quarters in Chicago, with branches through- out lowa and Nebraska. James F. Peavey, assoctated with them, is a brother of Frank Peavey, the great Minneapo:is grain dealer Peavey made thousands here in the whole- sale hardware and grain business, but wasted his fortune of late years in specula- tion. J. D. Yeomans, who was also inter- ested in the business at Chicago, was for- merly state senator from this district, Is still a heavy owner of farm property, and is now a member of the Board of Interstate Com- merce Commissioners, appointed to succeed Judge MeDill. e To Impench Alord Offclals.

An Escaped Negro Convict Botrayed and Sent Back to Jail in Georgla. On May 18, 1873, Monroe Marshall, a col- ored conviet, made a daring escape from the Fulton county chain gang, says the At- lanta Constitution. Yesterday morning, after twenty-one years of uninterrupted freedom, lie was captured and carried back to the con- vict camp in shackles. Twenty-one years ago, when he made his escape, he was young, strong and robust—strong enough to over- power two guards and give the bloodhounds a tutile chase for many miles. He was car- ried back old and decrepit—almost too weak to staad up under the weight of his shackles, In 1873 Marshall was given a sentence in in the county chain gang, convicted upon the charge of assault and battery. He had provoked a fight with another negro and was arrested and sentenced. He remained three months in the chain gang, when, on account of good conduct, the fore- man made him a trusty. One morn- ing, while the rest of the convicts were at breakfast, Msrshall made a wild break for liberty. Two guards seized him, but he pushed them easily aside and made for the woods. Several shots were vainly fired at the fleeing man. Then the dogs were put on his track and gave him a good race. But tho negro reached the river in good time to swim across and escape. The chase was glven up and the guards returned to camp. Years passed, other convicts came and went, Marshall was lost sight of and his escape had passed from memory. On Saturday a negro visited the conviet camps and volunteered the information that he knew the whereabouts of an escape. He was questioned clcsely concerning the man whom he said had escaped and as to how he learned the fact. He said that the man was named Monroe Marshall and lived on De tur street. Some time before he had told several other negroes how he escaped from the chain gang twenty-one years ago. His sense of security caused him to tell all about his flight. The negro making the report said that he was one of the men who heard Marshall's tale. None of the officers at the camp knew of the escape and were not inclined to believe the fellow. But the books for the year 1573 were exam- ined and the name of Monroe Marshall was recorded there as having escaped and never recaptured. Yesterday morning one of the gang guards camo to Atlanta. Marshall was pointed out to him and the arrest was made, At first the man denied that he was ever in the chain gang and insisted that he had al- ways lived in Fulton county. But the guard was inexorable, and the ex-convict acknowl- edged that many years ago he had escaped. Then he gave a full account of his struggle with the guards and his run from the dogs He left Georgla the year of his escape and made his way to Texas, where he remained for ten years, coming back to Atlanta after {bat time. The negro who reported him, he says, did it to satisfy an old grudge. M shall was carried out yesterday and once more put in stripes. D THIRTY YEARS BEDFAST.
