GENuNG READY THE RACE.
Eagerly Hunting the Democratic
NOMINATION for COnErcss.

Eagerly Hunting the Democratic
Nomination for Congress.
Lew Genung. the democratic Apollo Of the
Ninth district, is in the city. He is here
for the purpose of getting his fingers on the
pulse of the faithful, particularly with ref
erence to that portion of the unterrified
gates in the congressional convention that
will be held in this city on Monday, Au-
gust 10.
Genung has been an aspirant for the DEM
ocratic nomination for congress for
a long time now, but he has
always been put aside to make room
for a more finer person." as a delegate
once expressed It in a local convention.
But this time Lewis claims seem to have
been generally recognized and there is
but little, if any, opposition to his nomina-
ton. He has an idea that he can beat Mr..
Hager in the Ninth district, and as no
other democrat seems to have that much
confidence in his sprinting ability Genung
will undoubtedly be given the chance to
make the race. He Is for Bryan, free sill
yer or anything else that the democrats
want him to be for, and is willing for them
to shape the platform to suit themselves and
he'll undertake to stand on it If there is
room for his feet.
The democratic county convention will
be held on Thursday to select the delegates
to the congressional, state and judicial con-
yentions. There will be twenty-five dele
gates to e .ch convention. The democratic
state convention will be held on August IL,
the congressional convention on August 10
and the judicial convention on August 10.
The caucuses to select delegates to the
county convention will be held in the diff
ferent wards of the city this evening.

WILD NIGHT ON LAKE MANAwA.
Several Parties Of Campers Have an
Exciting Experiences.


The storm that burst with such fury
after 2 o'clock yesterday morning made
it decidedly interesting for the campers at
Lake Manawa. The heavy %downpour Of
lain was accompanied by considerable wind,
and several of the tents were unable to
Withstand the strain that was put upon
them and collapsed. The bedraggled occu-
pants of a couple Of them found shelter
during the remainder of the night in the
boat club house. The female members of
DR.. Thomas family had a rather exciting
experience. They have been camping at
the lake for some time and getting all of
the enjoyment possible from their outing.
Instead of a tent they have occupied a
houseboat. that has been fixed up with
every convenience. 1t has been tied up to
the wharf at the west end of the Grand
Plaza. 1t is a heavy affair, and when the
waves begun to churn 1t up the line
rarted and 1t started to drift across the
lake. The occupants were awakened by the
plunging of the craft, and when they rea-
lized their situation were considerably
frightened. The wind was blowing from the
northwest and the boat was carried toward
the steamboat landing at the east end of
the pavilion. The rain was coming in solid
sheets and the darkness was intense. 1t
was only by the flashes of lightning that
the people aboard could see where they
were. When the boat struck the
landing all of the party jumped ashore
dressed In their night clothes. They found
shelter in the home of Colonel Reed, but
were thoroughly soaked by the waves and
the torrents of water falling from the
clouds. The boat drifted into the willows
on the east side of the lake and safely rode
out OF the storm. A few minutes after the
party landed the naptha launch Irene, owned
by Omaha parties, broke from her moor
ings, struck the dock and tore it loose and
it foated away. The Irene danced all over
the lake during the night and finally made
a safe landing on the sandy beach at Man
haitian. On the south side of the lake the
waves were very high. The steamer Rescue,
moored on the west side of the pavilion,
was swamped and sunk, but not otherwise
damaged. The waves poured over the beach
and washed into the bath house.

BUILDING COMMITTEE.
Menke Looking COR a DGoodn Mann


Sheriff Menke of Blair, Neb., was in the
city yesterday afternoon in the hope of be-
ing able to find some trace Of a prisoner who
escaped Jail there about 2 o'clock yesterday
morning. He found no trace of his man.
but left a good description for the police to
work upon, and an OFFER Of $25 to encourage
them. The prisoner was in custody on the
charge of daylight burglary. and the fact
he is a good man to keep locked up was
demonstrated by the means he used to get
out OF jail. Between his cell and liberty
outside were three three-tumbler locks.
With the aid of a little piece Of tin and
pieces of wood split from the casing of the
corridor doorway he manufactured three
wooden keys that readily opened the locks,
Pieces of meat rinds We're used in getting
the Impressions OF the locks. and the bit
of tin was the only implement he had to
shape them with. He used the keys TO I'M
lock the doors and left the Jail while the
storm was at its height. The wooden keys
were kindly left to let the sheriff know how
the escape was effected.
