After a stormy session, the Prohibi-
ton state convention adjourned this

be full legal tender for the payment
of all debts, public and private, without
exception or former contract stipula-
ton We favor a money composed Of
legal tender treasury notes based on the
credit of the nation and the full free
and unlimited coinage Of gold and sill
yer at ratio Of Is 10 l, in which the
bonded indebtedness Of the country
shall be paid.

portion and directly IN favor OF free
silver alone, but il was voted down.

ted States Marshal Haldeman of this
city believes that he saw Mrs. Arthur
b. Cody OF Chicago, who mysteriously

cited and disconnected talk of Tacoma
and Washington that brought her 10
his attention. At police headquarters
here he has just seen photographs and
description Of Mrs. Cody. Halderman
was obliged 20 leave the train some dis
lance north Of Memphis, but he was so
sure of her identity that he telegraph
ed 10 the police at Memphis TO detain
her. The Memphis authorities ignor-
ed his message and SO far as Helder-
man is concerned noticing further has
been heard OF the woman.

Omaha, Feb. IA special to the Bee
from Lincoln, Neb-, says:
The Republican state central COM
mittee convened today. There was a
full attendance. The date for the
state convention to select national con
vention delegates will be held at Oma-
ha, April 10. The basis of representa-
ton was fixed on the votes for State
Treasurer BARLEY in 1894, on a basis
of one delegate for each 100 votes cast,
or major fraction thereof, and one del
egate-at-large. This will give a con-
vention of 1867 delegates, or the same
as the one held in Lincoln last fall.
The business of the meeting having
been disposed of, the remainder of the
time was given up to a discussion of
the political conditions of the day,
which grew warm. Chairman Hainer
was called upon vigorously and res
ponded with a severe denunciation of
Democracy in all its varied hues and
colors. 1t was decided to admit no
proxies to either Of the two conven-
tions. Senator Thurston was present.
