BIG CONVENTIONS.

Nebraska is but two thirds the size of
Minnesota, and yet it has in the past
few weeks had four political delegate
conventions, each of them numbering
from 600 to 900 members. The ProhibI-
ton one held Thursday had about 800
enthusiastic disciples of compulsory
temperance. 1t was really one of the
most important of the quartette of gath
erings, as it was swollen by the seces.
sion of prohibition Republicans, who
were disguised as the compromise of
their party with the liquor interests, as
they regard the refusal to take any po-
sition On the question. The Republican
candidates are required to be non-com-
initial on the question, although it is to
be voted on in the way of an amend
ment to the constitution. One pro-
vision is for license, and another
for prohibition. The license is under
stood to he the high license now in force,
and which in Minnesota and some other
states has been discovered by the Re-
publicans to be a temperance measure.
The virtue claimed for it in Nebraska
is that it helps raise revenue for the
support of the schools. Each of these
four conventions erected full tickets
ana party machines. Almost any con-
vention with 800 members may be re-
lied upon to do straight party work;
numbers generate heat. and heat leads
to radical action. But it is a new thing
in Nebraska that such conventions in
opposition to the Republican party can
be held. 1t looks as if people were a
good deal in earnest when such gath er-
ings are had, especially when but one
of them can have the off1ceholding ele-
ments. Each of the parties appears to
have hope of carrying the state. but it
is probable that some of them are in
dulging in rainbow visions.

Seventh Ward.
Nicolai Grevstad received the almost
unanimous Endorsement of the Seventh
ward for the senate. Engemoen was the

two candidates for the senate, John Day

talked among some of the delegates that the
Ninth ward was entitled to nominate SEN

but it is quite probable that they will give
the nomination of senator to the Second
ward. as the Democrats did very wisely
Mr.. Bradish is confident that his ward viii

Eleventh Ward.
There was some trouble In the First pre-

row ensued, and the patrol wagon had to be
called. The delegates i'll the ward are unin

county attorney. There was quite scramble
for places on the delegation, and in many
precincts there were half a dozen tickets il

Twelfth Ward.
The Twelfth ward in the Thirty-third dis

There is little new to be told in re-

THE CORNER STONE LAID.
Appropriate Exercises at Andrew
PRESBYTERIAN Church.


The Andrew Presbyterian church, on
the East side, now in process of con-
struction at the corner of Eighth ave-
nue. southeast and Tenth street, was
the center of considerable interest yes
terday afternoon, the event being the
laying of the corner stone with appro-
pirate ObServanceS. The ceremonies
began with an invocation by Daniel
Stewart. Rev. j. B. Donaldson read the
scriptural lessons, followed by Rev.
George r. Merrill. Gen. HoratIo Van
Cleve delivered an interesting historical
address. The clerk of the church So
ciety, John B. Elstis, deposited the
papers and customary documents, fol-
lowing which the formal laying of the
stone occurred. Rev. d. j. Burrell
delivered the address of the occasion,
land the exercises closed with the hymn
and benediction. The new edifice will
be pushed rapidly to completion. and in
a short time the large and growing con-
gregation will be provided with church
building which will compare favorably
with others of its class I'D the city. The
church society is in good shape finan-
cially, and no trouble will be expert
enced in meeting the obligations, as is
so often the case with new congrega
lions.

The United States Court.

The United States circuit court for

Judges Nelson and Thomas presiding.
The two court rooms are now being
put in shape, temporary furnishings
having been rented, as the furnishings
ordered are not likely to arrive until the
session is ended. The establishment
of the United States court here was
brought about by the passage of what
is known as the Lind law. The state

hold:sessions at different times during
the year to enable the judges to attend
all. The dates specified for the fourth
district are the first Tuesday in March
and the first Tuesday i'll September.

ties: Hennepin, Wright, Meeker, Kan
