Though curtailed in some respects this year, the general ar- rangements have been more satisfactory, the management, under the immediate super- vision of Commandant Howe and Adjutant Trimble, has been pleasanter to the veteran and the social features of the great gather- ing have been more prominently brought forth than at any of the more recent gather- ings. The department has gained 200 mem- befs since February and there is a general spirit of prosperity and 1 will in the ranks Today witnessed the last of the reunion. This morning there was a general rest from the absorbing program of yesterday. Pem berton’s drum corps entertained a crowd at the main grand stand and various organiza- tions were together. The Ohio headquarters are continuing their love feasts, Kynér of Omaha being one of the principal makers, The prisoners of the war have organized by electing Past Commander Alonzo Church of North Platte president and W. W. Ken dall secretary. Fifty of them were present. Church Howe fs “Church” to the boys and not ‘“‘Commander Howe.” Yesterdey he made seventeen responses to calls by state orgapizations and nearly every soldier in the camp has had an individual word with their popular commander.

Governor Thayer presided and Hon Thurston was first introduced was short and had refere to fidle workshops and consequent stoppage of circulation of money, claim- ing that this is the real evil and not an Insufficiency of money. Majors was next introd 1 and was met with compara- tively little enthusiasm. The burden of his remarks was that comrades should support him in the coming campaign, his advice belng to follow the standard bearer who had been chosen for them. There was evidence that there was quite a sprinkiing of populists in the audicnce, which had dwindled down t0 less than 8,000 in the camp and less than 1,000 at camp fire, for when Church Howe salled rough shod into McKeighan on the lat- ter's pension remarks, suggesting insincerity of the latter, there were several negative re- marks from some in the audience, but the stood no show and were told to sit down.

PAUL, Neb, Aug. 31.—(Special to The Bee)—Pursuant to call of the county commissioners a mass meeting of the eitizens ot Howard county was held in the court house Wednésday afternoon, for the purpose of forming some plan to assist the many who will need help for the coming year. It was the largest gathering ever assembled in the court house. After considerable dis- cussion a committee of thirteen—one from each precinct—was selected to formulate some plan for relief and report to the meet- ing in half an hour. The committee in due time presented the following report: “Your committee would submit the follow- ing as Its recommendations: The first and most important need will be fuel, the second flour. We would respectfully suggest that the commissioners be requested to determine as mearly as possible the amount required and purchase the same by auditing accounts on the general fund, and then sell the same 10 those requiring them at actual cost and upon such terms as the commissioners may deem expedient. Your committee requests that this or some other committee that may be appointed be granted time to investi- gate as to the quantities of grain required for seed and feed, and to formulate some plan for procuring the same.” The report of the committee was accepted and the committee continued for sixty days, and in that time to submit its report to the county commissioners. There will be a great deal of grain needed in this county for feed and seed before another crop can be raised and there are conflicting opinions as to the best plans to follow to prevent the people from leaving and avoid suffering. DUNN AFRALD OF LYNCHERS, Taylor's Murderer In Jall at Blalr and Is Much Frightened. BLAIR, Neb., Aug. 31.—(Special Telegram to The Bee)—Sheriff Mencke returned from Hastings with Murderer. Cyrus Dunn this evening and took him direct to the county Jall. Duon is very much afraid that he will be_mobbed. About 200 people, anxious to #ed It they ever saw the prisoner before, ‘were at the depot upom his arrival, which probably had the effect of scaring him. When he stepped on to the platform he shook badly and was very pale. He will not talk much. He claims that Taylor had a razor, but as there was only one besides himself that saw the blow struck it will be hard for Dunn o prove it, as the other party has already tes- tfled before tae grand jury and- says that Dunn slipped up behind Taylor and struck Bim. ‘There Is nothing in the assertions that citi- sens of Desoto township will undertake to or- ganize a mob. But should they come they will meet a warm reception, as the sheriff is prepared. As to Dunn’s character, he is an ex-convict and has lived in this county only & short time, and Taylor is the third man he h clubbed since he came here. His good acter was blasted long ago. Charles Demott, an ex-conviet who lives neighbor to him and advised him to skip, was in town and was rather nolsy on the subject and was run in. His object seems to have been 0 get into the jail to give Dunn some pointers, and he kicked bhard when he was put in the calaboose instead. Queer Journey of Two Young Men.

He purchased the property In 1878, and has regularly paid the taxes, knowing nothing about the 1869 tax.
