OMAHA's DOLLAR DINNER
Will Give Bryan a Chance to Address
Populist Delegates.

Omaha, May Tt is the purpose Of
the Populist leaders to give a dollar
dinner tonight of national significance.
The local Peter Cooper Populist club
stands as sponsor for the undertaking,
but back of the club are national Pop
ulist committeeman and leaders
The sole object of the dinner is to
furnish Colonel Bryan an opportunity
to address the delegates to the Sioux
Falls convention without having it
said that Democratic aSpirant for a
presidential nomination attended a
Populist national convention seeking
a like honor.
1t is said that the national commit
tee furnishes the funds not only to pay
for the spread, but for transportation
of the delegates by special train from
Omaha to Sioux Falls.
The local committee made the con-
tract with the Northwestern agent here
to carry 300 delegates, and the agent
will look to the committee for the
money. All delegates induced to travel
to Sioux Falls via Omaha, of course,
were ticketed direct, and upon accept
ing the invitation to stop at Omaha
committee would see them into Sioux
Falls.
Populist leaders from all over the
west viii be here Colonel Bryan, Of
course, will speak, and there is much
speculation as to what he may say
Governor w. H. Poynter, General
James 3. Weaver and former Congress
man Charles a. Towne will respond to
toasts-
The committee has provided for 1 900
plates, costly badges, several bands and
accommodations of no mean order. The
dollar dinner will be truly a notable
event.

$50 acres. He has added to this every
year and expects to continue to increase
j his landed possessions as long as farm

WANTED ON MURDER CHARGE
Burlington Sheriff Gets an Escaped
Jailbird in Arizona.

Burlington, Kas., May deputy
Sheriff Grennan has returned from
Prescott, A. T., with William Vanor
man in charge
Vanorman escaped from the county
Jail here in February, 1898, and has been
in hiding ever since. He is charged
with murder in the first degree. In
January, 1893, it is charged, Vanorman
and Frank Lewis robbed the Bank OF
Waverly in broad daylight, and in try
ing to get away from the crowd that
quickly gathered shot and killed A. P.
Ingleman, a citizen of Waverly. The
robbers were captured near LebO that
night after a running fight. Lewis was
convicted and sentenced to hang, but
Governor Leedy afterward committed
his sentence to ten years in the peni-
tertiary. Vanorman broke Jail with
the assistance of friends from Melvern.

identity, but he has been positively

doubt he is the man wanted.

side the grounds and the crowd called
for the gates to be closed. Sandy
Stahl made a brave attempt in the
ninth to pull the game out of the fire
by putting the ball over the fence with
no one on the bases. Sharp hits brought
in one more score, but the rest went out
in quick order. TwO-base hits were
plentiful during the game, and Emporia
put the ball over the fence twice and
WaShburn once.
One of the troubles in games on the
Washburn grounds is disputes over
balls fair and foul in vicinity of third
base. It wouldn't take long to white
wash a post and nail it to the fence.
The game of Saturday should be a
warning to the Topeka team to play
ball from start to finish. Playing
horse doesn't have a tendency to in
crease the crowds nor the admirers of
the team.

DIXON TO SELL OUT.
Little Chocolate viii Dispose of His
Saloon and Return to Fighting.

New York, May George Dixon has
decided to sell his saloon in Sixth ave
nue. and re-enter the ring. Although
Dixon has been doing a. rushing trade,
he thinks it is far better to put on the
gloves than to stand in front of the
bar and greet thirsty customers.
About two weeks ago Dixon deserted
the place and did not show up for sew
eral days. When his manager, Tom
O'Rourke, heard about it he told Dixon
to return to business Dixon, however,
was obdurate and said he would rather
fight, and so Tom gave in, and now
place is for sale. Dixon has been
matched to fight Terry McGovern again
and the pair will shortly appear in
Chicago in a six-rOund bout. Dixon is
now training at New Dorp Staten ISL
and. He has also engagements in Phil
adeiphia and Denver. Joe Cans may
purchase the saloon.
