There were many genuine expressions of regret at ths departure of Mr. and Mrs. Curtls, but the cordial wel- come that was extended to Mr. Baker was such as to make him feel that he had cast in his lot with a band of warm hearted friend: The exercises were informal, but interesting.

The Latter Day Sairts have captured Man- awa, and that summer resort wears its halo rather proudly.

It is strange, but true, that many of the outside world still confuse the Latter Day Saints with the Utah Mormons, and it keeps the elders busy trying to thump into the pub- lic mind that they are not and never were bellevers in polygamy. In fact, there is more sectarlan bitterness between them and the Utah church than between other denom- inations. Much merriment has been caused in camp by an account of the meeting as pubiished in one of the local papers. The re- porter was too wicked and weary to visit the camp In person, and so availed himself of the labor-saving telephone, Some joker at the other end of the line posed as an elder and gave the reporter the startling information that there were 600 tents and about 6,000 Mormons already on the grounds, and among the prominents were George O. Cannon, Brig- ham Young, ENza and others. The young man was not versed in church history, and the telephone report of the joker went whole. On the appearance of the paper some of the elders were Inclined to show wrath of a worldly nature, but on learning the innocence of the youth they forgave him, HERE, Religlous About We have leased the L.

His Prophecies of pending Dis- aster Come True in His Own Case. Farwell Merriam, an cld man whose whole- sale denunclations of existing things and prophecles of coming doom have attracted attentlon, was arrested yesterday on a charge of insanity, and was locked up in the county Jail to awalt a hearing by the insane com- missioners, who will meet Monday morning at 9 o'clock. One of Merriam's favorite pas- times has been the circulation of printed papers bearing a great many hieroglyphlcs, which enabled him to prove to his own sat- istaction that silver was the coming money and_Council Bluffs the New Jerusalem. He would_expound these circulars on the street corners, and prophesy a reign of bloodshed and ruin unless certain things were done. Until about six months ago he was considered harmless, but his talk of late had been so gory hued that some of his friends called upon Chiet Scanlan and Marshal Canning to have him locked up. They accordingly filed the information on which he was arrested. When taken to the jail he said to Sherift Hazen: “If you take the law into your own hands in this way [ will get my attorney, who Is a true medium and a prophet, the same as I am, and revolutionize the world.” He secured the services of George H. Gable as attorney, although Mr. Gable has never yet been thought to be endowed with super- natural gifts. ho Eagle laundry “that good and Is located at 724 Broadway. Don’t forget name and number.

HE BOTTOM OF A WELL dren, Who Disappeared Thursday Morning, Found Dead. Ever since Fred Children, who, with his father and brothers, has been running a cultivator factory on South avenue, near the School for the Deat, disappeared last Thurs- day morning, an anxious company of friends and relatives has been at work almost night aud day looking for some trace of him. Now and then some one would come to the frout with the statement that he had been seen, and the searchers would proceed to follow up the clew, only to meet by dis- appointment. Yesterday forenoon the men decided that they had thoroughly covered every place that he could possibly be alive, and determined to begin to hunt for him dead as soon as they had eaten dinner. Every well in the vicinity was to be searched. About 1:30 in the after- noon the first well was opened, it being an old, unused one on the Children home- stead, just across the street from the factory. That' something could be seen at the bot- tom was plain, and William, one of the brothers of the missing man, hurried to the house for a mirror with which to throw sun- light Into the well. At the first glance the upturned face of the missing man was discerned. A lantern was lighted and lowered into the well, but the gas at the bottom extinguished the flame before it was half way down. Another attempt met with the same result, but it was unan- imously agreed that the lost had been found. William Children was almost frantic when he saw the face of his brother, and leaped over the edge of the box and in an- other second would have been at the bottom ot the well had he not been jerked back by some of the men who stood around. He acted very strangely from that time on, and his friends took occasion to stay around the well whenever he approached it for fear that he would commit suicide. The father of the dead man was up town, but one of his sons went up after him, and in a couple of hours returned. As soon as he reached the house grappling hooks were brought and the body was soon drawn up. Coroner Jennings in the meantime had been notified, but after asking a few questions de- cided that no inquest was necessary. The remains were taken to Estep's under- taking rooms. In the pocket of the dead man was a silver watch, which showed the time, 12:15. It was thought at first that this might indicate the time at which he had fallen into the water, but on winding the watch it was found to have run down, and started up of its own ‘accord. Dr. Mont- gomery, who attended the dead man up to the time of his disappearance, states that he had been unwell all spring, and for a week or so past had been suffering from malarial fever, which made him delirious. Wednesday he was again delirious. Th night he was unable to sleep on account of the heat. He was heard to move about his room several times and is thought to have left the house at about 2 o'clock Thursday morning. His room was empty when the family awoke in the morning. When the body was pulled up it was clad in a shirt, trousers and sock A class for instruction in artistic needle- work and embroidery on linen, etc., will begin on Thursday, from 2 to 5 o'clock, at Mrs, Anna B. Phelps, president Women's Christian assoclation, corner First avenue and Sixth street. The teaching will be under the direction of Mrs. Charles Sherradin, who has volunteered her services, and will give the entire proceeds to the Women's Christian association hospital. Miss Jessie Clark of 333 Broadway will donate one-half of the stamping.

CANDIDATES ARE VERY Democratic Caucuses Elected Equnl Delegations for O'Brien and Black. The democrats of the city met in all the precincts last evening for the election of delegates to the county convention to be held at Avoca next Wednesday. All other conslderations were lost sight of in the momentous question of who should receive the nomination for sheriff, and the friends of Nick O'Brien and J. R. Black carried on a hot fight. They had been pluming them- selves all day long, and the success with which each of them swept the board in certain precincts showed how well they had organized. O'Brien, it is clalmed, has the Second precinct of the Second ward, and Colonel Willlam Henry Knepher, who mar- shalled the Black hosts, was summarily sat upon. In the First precinct of the same ward, on the other hand, R. N. Whittlesey headed the Black people, and won the day, securing a delegation of eight out of ten for Black, with the other two doubtful. William Morris, the committeeman of the Fifth ward, showed his fine Itallan hand in the caucuses of both precincts and solid delegations were elected for O'Brien, In the First precinct of the Fourth ward Black's friends won the day, while in the Second of the Third and the First of the Sixth they claim a majority. O'Brien has a solid delegation in the Second of the Third, and a majority of two in the Second of the First, The above figures, of course, are subject to change in the next three days, but they come from sources which at present claim to be official. R. N. Whittlesey, chairman of the democratic county central committee, did some figuring on the returns last evening, and gave it as his opinion that Black could com- mand 40 votes, O'Brien 40, and John P.

LINCOLN, Sept. 14.—(Spectal.)—The torrid weather which has prevailed during the past week has done much in reducing Lincoln soclety to a state of coma, if not catalepsy. That it s lifeless is true, but that certain members of said society must go and come Is equally true, and it is to their forced pil- grimages that one must look for whatever is “‘going on in soclal circles.” As it has bgen tmpossible for people to move around much in the daytime, the ingenuity of Brad D. Slaugh- ter, recelver of the Lincoln street car line, has been called upon, and he has developed a new after-dark fad in the shape of a trolley party. In other words, the more ultra- fagnionable brake, cart, drag and landeau have given way to the plebeian street car. But in the hands of Slaughter the thing be- comes a blooming and illuminating success, He strung electric bulbs all over the car, and filling it with the creme de la creme of Lin- coln’s beauty and chivalty, went spinning around the blocks like a vagrant comet. The affalr occurred Tuesday night and was ex- tended as far out as University Place, The party included: Messrs. and Mesdames W. H. Dillon, C. F. Ladd, W. A. Preston, H. C. Mayer, A. S. Tibbets, W.
