FOB FUSION IN NEBRASKA.
Bryan Wiling 10 Make Concessions in
Order to Control the States
Politics.

LINCOLN, NEBR., June 2s.-Hon. W.
J. Bryan was the guest of honor at ban
quet of the Nebraska Silver Democrats to-
day. The occasion was the meeting of
the State Central Com mittee of the Silver
Democrats to arrange details for the next
State convention. incidentally the men,
bers were supposed TO meet a committee
from the POpulists and Silver Republi-
cans and form a fusion combine, map out
policy to be followed in the fall cam
paign and agree upon the division of the
offices 10 be filed. This was apparently
accomplished with ease and satisfaction to
all interests. There was some grum bling
among several Democrats, who insisted
that they should have the place on the
ticket Tor Supreme Judge in consideration
of having worked so hard for the partv re-
Gently, but the Populists refused to fuse
unless the chief place on the ticket went
to them, so at Mr.. Bryans request the
point was conceded. The Silver Republi-
cans will have one State Regent nominee
and the Silver Democrats the other. These
are all the offices 10 be filled.
Mr.. Bryan delivered a short address. in
which he said that the cause of silver was
growing every day; that it was the case
in Nebraska particularly, and that he
would demonstrate the fact when the
time came for him to stump the State a
little later. He said the Republicans of
the State were appealing to the National
Committee to help them carry Nebraska
and that the necessary help was prom
ised on the theory that if Bryan's own
State repudiated silver it would materially
aid in the confusion of the bimetallists
three years hence. His words aroused
grea. cheers.
1t was announced that the Nationa!
Democrats, under the lead of J. Sterling
Morton, would put ticket in the field.
This was greeted with catcalls. COM
mitiee was appointed, after a conference
with the Republicans and Populists repre-
senting the silver element in their par
ties to meet with similar committees
from those parties July 8, to fix the place
and time for the three State conventions

Victor L. Berser, a leading soci alist,

Murder Trial.

Special Dispatch to the Post-rntelligencer
RTTZNILLE. April 25.-New and inter-
esr1ng developments are steadily coming
20 light In the case OF Mark W. Townsend
who was arrested and taken back to
Grant county. Wisconsin. some two
months ago on charge of wife murder.
IL now appears that there is woman con-
nected with tho affair Miss Wood, a
young school teacher, who has been teach

seems that Miss Wood claims 10 have been
acting the role OF detective and as a
consequence was the main factor IN caus-
ing Townsend's arrest. Townsend was
also school teacher, holding a first grade
certificate, and after Miss Woods arrival
made her acquaintance and soon became
quite infatuated with her.
Townsend's wife obtained a divorce last
October. so he felt himself free TO again
enter into matrimonial life, and accord
ingly proposed TO the lady OF his affec-
sions and was accepted. Ii appears that
this was what the lady was waiting for

they will produce evidence showing them
10 be false. when the proper time arrives.
Sentiment is steadily changing in Town

expressed that he will have but little trou-
