SPECULATING OVER POUND'S SUCCESSOR Bagt on the Purlington Given & Raise by the Company Rang- ing from Five to Fif. teen Per Cent. (From a Staff Correspondent.) LINCOLN, Sept. 3.—(8pecial.)—John Vin- ton drove Into a swarm of honey bees while cutting hay near Havelock this morn- Ing and was dangerousiy stung. He was brought’ to Havelock, where he received medical attention. The man was covered with welts from his head to his waist and was almost crazed with pain. ‘When Vinton first drove into the bees they attacked his horses and in endeavor- ing to quiet them he himseit was covered with the bees. The horses finally became unmanageable and started to run. Vinton released them and began to fight the bees from himself. Men who were at work in the fleld came to his assistance and finally rescued him. The horses were stopped after making a-circuit of the fleld. Both of them were severely stung and are dangerously injured. Vinton will recover, Talk of P Sucecessor. Around Lincoln at the present time some Ppeople are speculating on the identity of the man who s to succeed Supreme Court Com- missioner Roscoe Pound, whose resignation to 6 dean of the law department of the State university, is expected soon.. The talk has brought the interesting informa- tlon that it is not yet known who of the commissioners is to get the short and who the long terms, as provided for in the new law enacted by the late legislature. K The nine commissioners were appointed but the time was not designated, evidently because the court desired to know which of the men showed that proficlency that would entitle them to hold on”for two years. In any event, however, Judge Pound's term of of- fice would not expire until next April. It 1s sald here now that Judge Lytton of Fairbury will be the successful man. Judge Lytton was a candidate for re-election but out of the way and permitted the nom- tion of Judge Re This it is sald has secured him strong backing for the place. It was also stated today by one who is conversant with the situation that Judge Bedgwick will be allowed to name the com- missioner by the courtesy of his colleagues. This man sald Judge Sedgwick had been in- terviewed and was for Judge Lytton. It may be that Judge Bedgwick will name the man and may be not. Inasmuch as the tiring republican commissioner landed a #ood place in the law department of the university the other two judges may take & hand. The selection of the commissioner is made by the unanimous vote of the Judges. Enginemen Get More Pay. The Burlington has voluntarily increased the pay of its enginemen from § to 10 and in some Instances 15 per cent, to become eftective Beptember 1. The increase had not been demanded by the enginemen, it is #said, and came as & surprise. In all about 100 men in Lincoln are affectéd. This will mean that on the main lines from Lincoln 1 McCook, from the Junction to Hastings &nd from Lincoln to Ravenna enginemen will recelve from $150 to $200 per month. ‘When the trainmen recelved from 13 to 15 per cent more money than they had been gotting before, some weeks ago, it was thought only fair to the men in the engine department that they be remembered also in a substantial manner. The advance means, say of s, that the Burlington will be paying much money and in some instances more to its engineers and firemen than is pald on the ding roads of the country. The Union fic has had the reputation in the past of giving its enginemen the top price paid by western roads, but it no longer holds the belt. In some instances the Burlington offers more money pef trip, distance being taken into consideration. Last September the enginemen received thelr first increase, ampunting to & or & per cent, but this was more a matter of readjustment than a real advance. Bonacum Files Brief. Bishop Banacum this morning, through bis attorneys, flled a brief in the suprem court in support of his appeal from the de- cision of the Seward county court in his case against Father Murphy. The trouble Detween the two has been long in the courts and has been much aired. The bishop tried to restrain Father Murphy trom using St. Vincent's chureh, claiming that the latter had been excommunicated and therefore had no right to the ghurch property. With the brief iz filed exhibits of the records used in the former trial of the case. Among them are decrees alleged to have been entered by Cardinal Gottl, prefect of the propaganda. The decree: beer the original signature and are written in Latin, Father Murphy contended that these were not authentic. Cresceus Arvives day. Becretary Furnas of the State Fair board received a telegram this morning that Cres- ceus would arrive Sunday afternoan. The horse will be sent In care of the Adams Bxpress company and immediately upon his fair grounds In the morning. Heretotore the Lincoln merchants have been glven preference of space for their exhibits, and for that reason the office was opened in town. Beginning tomorrow, however, out- of-town people will have the right-of-way over any and everybody. Ten clerks were busy today Reeping track of things and telegraphing exhibitors that all space was taken. ‘This is the first time that this has occurred since the organiza- tion of the falr assoclation. “I was con- nected with the falr board when it was organized under the territorial legisiature of 1866-5," sald Becretary Furnas, “and never before have we had to refuse to take exhibl Every horse barf is tull, every hog barn is full and the only space we have left 1s a little in the sheep barn.” Superintendent Simpkins, who has charge of the €oncessions, has booked an unprece- dented number of attractions, which in- clude all the features of the midway ex- cept the objectionable ones. The traction company has already given a thirty-minute service to the grounds and this will be shortened tomorrow, the opening day. Noth- ing will be doing, however, in the pleasure line until Monday, as tomorrow and Satur- day will be devoted to getting the exhibits in place. Elste Brownlee Reaches Ho Eisle Brownlee, whose reunion with her father sfter an eleven-year separation, two years of which time she was kept at the Tabitha Home In this city, part of the time against her will and the wishes of her father, reached Canon City, Colo., safely and has written Secretary Davis of the State Board of Charities and Corrections lotter of thanks for securing her release from the home. ‘When the father located the girl here he wrote Governor Mickey asking for her re- lease. ‘Bho letter was turned over to the State Board 6f Charitles and Correction and Secretary Davis demanded the release of the girl from the home. Superintendent Heiner refused the request and the two squabbled over the matter for about two months, the secretary finally winning out and sending the girl to Colorado to her father. This sction on t part of the superintendent of the home has caused con- siderablé comment and parties who here- tofore have been collecting money for its maintenance were here today to look more thoroughly into the matter. Omaha Man Released. Among the names of the convicts released from the state penitentiary, as shown by the report of Warden Beemer for August, is thut of Martin 8. Rowley, who was dis. charged August 24. Rowley was sent to the penitentiary from Douglas county for one year last October for forgery. He was employed as a timekeeper at a South Omaha packing house, and, according to the evidenea upon which he was convicted, he had been making out pay checks to straw men. His arrest, owing to his promi- nence and previous good reputation, created somewhat of a sensation in and around Omaha. ‘The report of the warden shows that in the guards’ kitchen it costs for m for each an average of 128 cents a day. It costs an average of 07.7 cents a day to feed the convicts. The detailed report of the guards' kitchen averaged is as follows Employes, 30; boarders, 2.6; side table, 66.9 total, 99.5. For the convicts' kitchen it is averaged as follows: Total count, 281.4; side table, average cost per capita per day, 01.7 cents. The report shows that during the month there were two convicts received at the prison. There were Charles Beedle, Platte horse stealing, sentenced to fifteen and Grant Blockum, sent up from county for five years for horse . Bix men were discharged during the month, one paroled and one escaped. This latter was Richard Wardlow, sent up from Douglas county for taking a shot at Druggist Graham of Omaha because he refused to stand for & holdup. Engine Cuts Of His Ear. HUMBOLDT, Neb., Sept. 8.—(Special)— Martin E. Bash, an employe of the Bur- lington on the section, had & narrow es- cape from a violent death yesterday after- noon while out with the crew. An extra freight train came along, and in some menner Bash falled to hear its approach, and continued to work alongside the track while the rest of the laborers sought places of safety. The other men saw him | working, but supposed he would get up before the train reached the spot, and when it did draw near he took no notice of ‘thelr warnings. Bash was over, and the cylinder of the engine struck him on the side of the head, knocking him several yards away from the track. He g0t up and walked to his home, in the north part of the city, in a semi-conscious condition, and the surgeon found it neces- sary to sew on the right ear, which had been practically severed from his head. It is 100 early to ascertaln whether or not he sustained njuries to the brain. FREMONT, Neb, Sept. 3.—(Special)— William Smith, colored, was arraigned In police court this morning on the charge of breaking into a freight car on the Union Pacific tracks and stealing 700 pounds of suger. He plead not guilty. It appears from the evidence that the car was broken Into Tuesday night and seven sacks taken. Yesterdiy Smith went to Peterson brothers' store on South F street and tried to sell them the sugar. The officers were at once notified and he was arvestéd. Judge Cook bound him over to the distriet court and in default of ball committed him to the county jail. Smith is thought to belong to an outfit of negroes that came here this week from Omabs and is & hard looking customer. He clalms to come from Butte, stooping | GREAT DAY AT THE REUNION Fully Bix Thousand People on the Oamp Grounds at Hastings. STATE SOCIETIES SELECT OFFICERS in the Afternoon an teresting Progra Rendered. HABTINGS, Neb., SBept. 3.—(Special Tele- gram.)—The reunion probably reached its maximum today and fully 6,000 people oc- cupled the camp grounds. Activity com- menced with dawn and continued through- out the day without abatement. Although the crowd was densely packed and there- fore jostled each other about without standing on ceremony, the utmost good- nature prevalled. There was a craze on rubber balls and false whiskers among the younger element, but the veterans bore it herolcally, even joining In the sport. The women, who usually frown upon these breaches of good behavior, smiled good- naturedly when struck by the flying rubber missiles and took it all in the spirit of the day. The high wind of yesterday prevailed and toward the middle of the forenoon the sky ecame overcast with clouds, which by noon threatened a cownpour, but instead disappeared and favored the veterans with a glorfous autumn afternoon for the con- tinuance of their schedule program. This was the day for election of the aifferent state officers, an ordeal which was quickly gone through with and result- ing iIn the following selections, which will hold until the reunion of 1904: Pennsylvania—President, W.

Women Take Char The program this afternoon was carried out as follows under the direction of the Ladles of the Grand Army of the Repub- lic: The program opened at 3 o'clock this afternoon with a selection by the band, singing of “America,” & flag d:lll by elght girls, which was well executed and at the conclusion of which “Columbia, the Gem of the Ocean,” was sung by three little girls, assisted by Mrs. Woodruff. Prayer was offered by.Mrs. Stout. Mrs. Anna E. Mar- shall delivered a briet address of welcome. Mr. and Mrs. Ritchle of Omaha gave sketch, “The Absent-Minded Professor. The children of the drill sung “The Bells of Freedom,” after which Thomas Kerr recited “His Last March” in a masterly manner and was encored. He then rendered a short humorous selection. Song by Mr. “The Boys of the Old Bri- after which “Recollections of the was recited by Miss Lucia Dillen- bach In her usual happy manner. “When Johnny Comes Marching Home" was sung by the children and Miss Helen Dilien- bach recited “When the Cows Come Home," and was heartily applauded. ‘The Battle Cry of Freedom" was rendered as a chorus by the audience. A letter from Judge Fatelle was read by acting Commander Lett, who then intro- duced Frank Dunlop of Omaha, who gave an amusing German version of “Barbara Fritchie,” which was greoted with shouts of laughter, and as an encore he gave an impersonation of Sir Henry Irving, which brought down the house. Commander Lett announced that Judge Lee Estelle was the happy father of a son born recently, and proposed three cheers and a tiger, which were given with en- thusiasm. Hattle Jack gave a recitation and Mr. Bryson sung “The Flag of Bunker HiL" Mr. Ritchie gave two reeitations and Mrs. Olive Yarton of Omaha gave a hum- orous reading. Omaha Orowd Makes a Rit. Omaha was well represented at the re- union today. The delegation was not larg but it was powerful and most entertain- In, fact, In less than thirty minutes after the arrival of the jolly crowd from Omaha half the people In Hastings and nearly everyone at the reunion grounds realized that there was something doing that was not down on the program. The first Intimation the Hastings people had of it was when Burlington train No. & came in and two well dressed men in bare feet got off the head coach and were fol- lowed by a third going in handcuffs. The two men In bare feet were H. W. Collins and Alderman D. J. O'Brien of Omaha. The handcuff vietim was Frank Dunlop, the official entertainer for the Ak-Sar-Ben. As s00n as the queer looking trio alighted from the train all hands of the bystanders gathered abou them so closely that it became necessary for the depot police to interfere and force an opening so the strangers could make thelr exit. Collins and O'Brien headgd straight for the cabs, but owing to the immense trafic to and from the reunion grounds there were but two cabs at the station and both of them were engaged. As there was ne other vehicle handy the odd looking trio marched down the streets to the hotel, while a howling crowd of curlous specta- tors followed close at thelr heels. After they had gotten under cover a porter was bribed to purchase two pairs of shoes, but somehow nobody could be induced to re- lieve the unfortunate Dunlop. However, when the trio arrived at Camp Sherman Dunlop was finally released on the prom- ise that he entertain the old soldlers for a0 hour, and he certainly kept his word, for within ten minutes after the Omaha delegation arrived at the grounds Gamp Sherman was transformed Into a comic opera, with the Omaha trlo as the star performers. In an Interview with Mr. Dunlop The Bee representative learned tonlght that while enroute from Omaha to Hastings Collins and O'Brien complained of a severe head- ache, when Dunlop suggested as an im- mediate rellef that they take off thelr shoes and socks and slowly pour a pint of ice water on the blg toe, as all the nerves from the lower extremities come in direct contact with the medulla oblon- gata, and by the reflex action of the stim- ulus the brain becomes clear and cool and the circulation gets back to its normal status. At first the two gentlemen hooted at the idea, but a brief argument convinced them and they tried it. While they wers thus engaged Dunlop quickly gathered up the shoes and socks and deliberately tossed them out of the car window. As soon as O'Brien and Collins learned their fate they handcuffed Dunlop and stuck his head into the water cooler. ENGINE AND CARS WRECKED Accldent Ocenrs Near Pap Neo 01 fon, but Injured and Lo is Not Heavy. PAPILLION, Neb., Sept. 3.—(Special Tel- egram.)—While a train composed of stock and fruit was passing through a sidetrack here this morning the engine and two cars of fruit jumped the track.

The teams from each of these rlaces did good work throughout, but the women from Lexington outpointed thelr competitors and were awarded the prize of $10 cash. The attendance at the contest was large and those present not belonging to the order were favorably impressed with: the work. Thursday morning Hon. E. A. Cook of Lexington delivered an address on the general laws of the Degree of Honor. Mr. Cook touched upon the changes in the laws of the order and gave good advice regarding their enforcement. The conven- tion adjourned today after carrying out its program.

Crushed by an Engine, HOLDREGE, Neb., Sept. 3.—(Speclal.)— C. F. Mahn, a young man who lived in the nelghiorhood of Loomis, in this county, was fatally injured while helping to move a threshing outfit across the country. The party came to a small and muddy draw, about seven miles north of Loomis. They had hitched the separator to the engine with a long chain, but could not pull it, and backed the engine to get a shorter hitch. The engine &id not stop as ex- pected, and the feeder was still on. Mahn was caught between the engine and the separator with considerable force, and when taken out was found to be seriously injured. He was carried to & neighboring house and a physician called. The wounded man survived about an hour and a half, and was conscious up to the point of death.
