Trail-Only Two Recovered.
| Chicago, June 2s.--A Daily News spec
ial from Dakota, Ga, says:
During terrific thunderstorm light
| ing struck convict camp near here last
night and as a result four conyicts are
dead Ten are dying and 20 escaped dur
ing the panic which ensued.
The camp is at the lumber mills of
Greer Brothers, and about $50 prisoners
from the state penitentiary were at
work there. Last night, during supper
the storm came up and struck the din
ing shack, demolishing it. Two of the
convicts, negroes, were instantly killed
by the lightning strokes; two others,
white, died from their injuries in few
minutes and 10 were shocked so badly
that they are dying.
About 20 of the felons, seeing their op-
portunity, dashed past the guards, who
were panic stricken and escaped. After
the guards recovered somewhat they got
out their bloodhounds and the dogs were
put on the trail, but owing to the heavy
rain which fell the tracks had been we'll
covered up.
Only two of them were captured and
they had been in the hospital tent for a
few days and We're too weak to get away.
The widest excitement reigns and hun
dreds of people are out in pursuit.
The state will offer reward if the men
are not captured.

CARNIVAL NOTES.

New voting contests for maids of honor to
Queen Polaris are springng up daily in the
toNus and cities throughout the state Hast
ings starts off with fifty candidates. Miss
Edna Cramer and Miss Margaret Plckens are
in the lead, both having the same number Of
votes. Edyth Payne, Rae Alexander, Mabel
Bailey and Stella Payne are within one of
each other and they are having lively time
of it..
Blair, out in Washington county, found the
pressure too great, so just to please the
ladies 1t has started a boom in votes and
Miss Lulu Cameron leads off with 2,535.
How can they catch her?
Miss Mabel Gray still holds the top of the
list in South Omaha
Minnie Sharp and Antonia Kessler of
P,attsmouth are making a sharp fight for
the honor of being a maid to Queen Poiaris.
Jessie Purger is leading at Kearney, with
Annie Switz just forty-one votes behind
Nebraska City has the best and closest
fight outside of this city. Miss Gwendolyn
LaTsh has 1,057 votes and Miss Sarah Ire
land Is right next with 1865. Miss Ireland's
friends are trying to capture the output of
extra papers for period of ten days, but
as vet have not succeeded.
Uncle Dick Berlin, who has forgotten more
about skating rinks than Norris G. Love
ever knew. visited the Lagoon last evening
with q party of friends and was very much
taken back when he found that the rink that
he managed so successfully away back in
of the Mirror. Uncle Dick claims the right
to mako the first trip on the toboggan and
says he will do it standing up. His friends
will receive due notice No flowers!
Mr., Edwin GloT. who is in this city rep
resenting the Drummond Tobacco company of
St. Louis, says that his townspeople are
taking great interest in the Ice carnival of
Queen Polaris and a number of large manu-
featuring firms are thinking seriously of
sending young ladies as their representatives
to act as maids of honor to Omaha's Queen.
The question has been asked time and
again: what style of costume will the
Queen wear?' AS far as the managers are
concerned she is the boss of the job aud can
choose whatever she plenses, and they will
pay for it. Her maids will have to mind
their Ps and Qs, take the best of care of her
and see that she don't eat too many snow
balls.
The skating clubs hardly realize what they
are missing in the way of a good time at
the Lagoon, the cold snap came in several
weeks before it was expected. There is a
good thickness of ice and room enough for
several thousand to skate. The grounds are
open day and night and when that high to-
boggan is finished, which will be very soon,
there won't be any need of a brass band to
make a noise as the tobogganers will attend
to that
The Twentieth street gate will be ooened
about the time the toboggan slide is finished
possibly sooner.
