For six sureesslvo wcolts Tun Soxruv BEE lius coutnlncd n chapter on the Oiiutha flro department. Its history and tlio history of the various houses from the orgimlziitlou of tlio old Pioneer hook and liulder contpnny , mvny back in ISM , down to the preicnt tins been traced. The roster of names of the men whoso efficiency , promptness and Intelligence give Omalm n llro protective service equal to that of many cities with twice the facilities has been given. The various houses with their Jlre-llBhtliiR appliances , their electric machinery and their magnificent horses have been described. The flro and police alarm system and the man who presides over them have come in for their share of credit In plac ing Omaha where she Is , today from n lire- man's standpoint ono of the bout protected cities on the continent , and , Incidentally , the lire reporter and Ins work , Important adjuncts to the department have been touched upon. To summarize : Omahu has six llro houses with tlio latest style of time-saving appli ances mid line horses and wagons ; two pri vate lire companies which are ready at n moment's notice to render assistance ; u full supply of lire alarm boxes : n waterworks system with a capacity of ir > ,0X ( > ,000 gallons furnishing n pressure of 1UO pounds to the inrh in the center of the city , and from 00 to bO pounds in the outskirts ; lit ; ! ) llro hy drants ; magnificent chemical engines and hook and luddi-r trucks and n staff of llromcn ready and willing to encounter any danger In the performance of their duty. All this , however , would amount to noth ing without u capable head u chief engin eer as ho was called in old times who never hesitates nor fullers , never shrinks from work , is independent and fearless , who pos sesses the rare combination of good Judgment and force of action and who knows , in any emergency , exactly what to do , when to do It and how to do It. Such n head the Omaha department has in Chief J. .T. Cialligan. "Jack , " as everybody calls him , wus born in Tuunion , Mass. , in tlio your ISIS , and at the ace of three years moved with his parents to Chicago. When the war broke out , and while ho was still u boy , he enlisted in the Ninth Illinois cavalry with which ho served creditably during the entire struggle. At the close of tlio war ho returned to his Chicago homo where ho remained till iNi" , when lie ciiinu to Omaha and procured work at his trade In the Union Pacific shops. His ciiroor as a fireman began September M , 1803 , when he associated himself with the band of old-timers who manned Fire King No. 2 , and for a long time he pulled away at the handle of that exaggerated loivo pump. Along in November of 1S70 this company purchased u steam engine which was the proudest possession of the town , and Oalli- gan was appointed stroker , a position which -sounds small , but which , in those days , meant a great deal. Here ho remained for two years , till , in 1STtho Union Pacific purchased a steam engine for the protection of their buildings and named It the Uurnnt. Tills engine was btitlioncd nt the shops and Jack Galligan was requested to act as engineer of the new ac quisition. Ho accepted the position , but re tained his place with the Fire King Just the Mime. In 1ST I the Omnha lire department had ns- sumcd shape-urn ! Ualligan was asked to act as chief. IU > rccuguucd the honor paid him as the leading fire-lighter of the city and ac cepted the position , which ho retained until the year 1877 , when he retired from the ser ' vice' for ono year. The next year he returned to liis vocation and at the imperative request of the eitbcns and tlio lire department took his place as chief and staid there till 18S13 , when ho retired for the second time. Ho staid out this time for four years till 1SSO , when ho was airain called upon to fill the position and has remained there ever since. Jack Oallignn is n born fire-fighter and Omaha will lose a valuable man when he finally retires from the struggle. The men who work under him recognize his authority and abilitv and none of them will hesitate to ac knowledge that ho is first in promptness , first In energy and first in danger. The Jack on the .streets , indolent , peed im- tured and happy-go-lucky , known to every body who knows Omaha , is very far re moved from the chief at the lire , alert , keen , and full of energy , with his resonant voice directing * Jie movements of firemen and po licemen u.S \ imperatively ordering his men into positions where their eyebrows scurch or their skin blisters and lending the whole force into the very mouth of hell. Many and many a time ho lias crowded his force Oitiiut- like into the jaws of death where their faces were licked by the fiery tongues mid stood behind them till the work was accomplished , only to acknowledge afterwards that lie was soi ry for their sufferings anil to hear them admit that if he had not done so the flames would have leaped across an alley or street and redoubled their domngc. To appreciate the work ho lias done it is only necessary to recall n few of the great fires during his regimney as chiof. There was the great blaze at the Boyil packing house , four miles away , where the flames had such a start and where $108,001) ) worth of property was jeopardized and $72,0011 worth saved ; the Her fire in January , 1871) ) , in the block between Fanmni , Ilitrney , Thirteenth mid Fourteenth streets , when tlio whole city was threatened and only ono story was con sumed ; the elevator company llro in issi , whew , in spite of the inllanmulo material , ono-thinlot'a ' . ' ) saved - J''O.tKK property was , and the Ish & MeMnhon fire next to Milton Kogors , where the heart of the city was again threatened and the damage was nom inal. inal.Tho The fires this year nro too well known to need mention , that at the white lead works and ' the chief . Browning-King's being ones. There were other fires , however , under Oalligan's jurisdiction where moro than property was at stake. In the late llro nt Sixteenth ami Howard streets the lives of dozens of people hung In the balance and only the prompt action of the do [ u'tment saved them Just across the street , a year or so ago , was u similar case where the ladders brought down the tenants of the third floor. At the Es mend hotel tire the entire lower stories were in flames and the smoke was pouring up wards when the ladders arrived. Those are only a few of the cases whcro Omaha's llro department has saved life and property , and generally Jack CJnlllgan lias led the forces. Many amusing stories mlelit bo told of the chiefs early experience. There was a time , not so long ug.i , when after a llro the on tire department spent thrice the time cf extin guishing the lire in refilling the cisterns , and then during the old volunteer days what times the boys had in springing the boxes for the fun of witnessing an exhibition run. Ciallignn finally got tired of this and Invented a detector , which put an end to tlio sport , but spoilt many an exhilarating turnout of tlio two hundred odd volunteers with their carts. \Vlth all the dangers he has braved , all the tires he has attended , Chief Ualligan has boon singularly fortunate in escaping serious Injury. Ho has had several narrow escapes , however. Five years ago ho fell through un elevator shaft in the city stoani laundrv , striking on a floor thirty-three feet below. Ho has been twice thrown from his buggy while running at break-neck speed , but was never laid up for moro than a few days from any of his accidents. In speaking of the department ho modestly says ho is satisfied , but that if two llrcn were to occur ut once the organization would bo hampered. Ho wants a n&w central station. This request ho has made in his jx'jwt annu ally for fifteen yours. The strength of the department hosums up under thrcu heads u good alarmsystomgood horses and n sut of men who are accurate In gutting at the boxes and prompt in gutting to work and buck to the houses. In the same chapter with the chief , his driver , Uoorgo Hiako , is worthy of mention. Next to Cialllgan , lie Is the oldest man In the service , having come in about 11 ftocn years ugo , and moat of the time has tilled the j > o l- tton of driver. Ho first drove a stoamortlion u hook and ladder truck , and , for the past SDven years , has held the | K > iltlon of chief's driver. He lias , of course , hud his narrow . slight accident ) ! , but they have been few mid far between mid ho has Abund antly earned the reputation ho has of being the most careful driver In the service. Two other r.nmcs must bo mentioned to complete the roster of those who give Omnha her flro protection. ! ) They nro the two assistant chiefs , O. , A. Sailer and .7. .T. Barnes. Suitor Jotrtod the department In 1870 with old No. 3 in the llro service. After n service of three months he was made stoker of No. 3 In tfw paid department , a position which ho he.ld for two years and n half , when the cnptnlii 'resigned nndhouriu advanced to the posltlondiit the same time being made superintendent of tlio new llro alarm system. When thJ waterworks were put In ho was rnndo second assistant and on the appointment of Galligan ns chief , first as sistant. Ill common inrlanco , Snlter "at tends strictly to hi * knitting" and the emer gency has not arisen which can rattle him. Mr. Barnes Joined No. - volunteer llro com pany as pipeman at the age of seventeen. Ho was subsequently appointed to the position of second assistant foreman. Ho remained In Iho volunteer service until 1SSM , when ho en tered the regular paid department , where eighteen months' service gave him the post- tlon of captain of Hook and ladder No. 1 and subsequently that of second assistant chief. Chief Barnes manages 10 enjoy the Ufo of a llrcman und is falthfulto his duties. T1IK CONQUEROR. Written /or Hie lite.

He conquered the trials , ho has the assurance Of marching 'ncath victory's banner nt last.

" It does not follow that because Mr. Stanley is to bo ni'irried ho has rosolv.ed not to return to Africa. In both Sir Samuel Baker's ex peditions ho wus accompanied by Lady Baker , and twice her shrewdness saved tlio expedition. Mrs. William Pholln and her twelve chil dren , half of whom were twins , passed through the barge olm'O at New York from the steamship Frioslund recently , on her way to join her husband at Ifyrt City , Pa. Shu once had two more chlldKOiOmt they died. William O'Brien , M. ? . , jnco entering no- liticul llfo , was on the p'olut'of joining the order of the Oblate- Fathers , near Dublin. The strongest efforts of'Pavnoll and Ullllon wore required to porsiiado him to forego nls intention until the hom&rulo question was settled. In the moiutiiiienio : mut Ids fate.

FROM NOON'TILL ' EARLY MORN , How a Boasting Day anil Night Are Passed in Omaha , THE CITY UNDER THE SUN'S ' RAYS. Hmv tlio Cooling ; llrci'/.os of Night Draw Forth Men ntul Women uml the Vnrlcil Sight * They See Upon the btreels. It Is a hot night in Omalm. All day long the scorching rays of a pitiless sun have beaten down upon the panting , shrinking city. Bnck walls mid pavements Imvo absorbed the llery Hood till they feel Hko heated iron. Men and women have sat In their offices punting , fanning mid viciously lighting the swarms of Hies whoso feet for the day seem to have been furnished with microscopic hooks and claws for the torture of steaming humanity. Noiv and then a gust of wind , like the breath of u furnueo.has swirled up a cloud of dust to filter It down coat collars and Into cars and nostrils. The sprinkling carts , whoso weary pilgrimage up and down the streets nil the day has never ceased.scem only to have made mutters worse and ono could almost hear the hiss of the spray as It struck the pavement and floated off ngaln In vapor. Dripping street car horses , urged by red-faced drivers , have toiled and struggled up the long hills spiritless and wcurv. Style and fashion have been forgotten ami the unfortu nates who linvo been forced to walk the streets have come so far In their shirt slet'.ves with handkerchiefs about their necks and slinking from corner to corner wherever they could find n bit of u shadow. Volumes of smoke from thesmeltlng works and the Union Pacific shops and the other great factories have made those who stop to think shudder at the mental picture of the men away down under ground , stripped lo the waist , black ened with coal dust , slowly cooking for daily bread. Slowly the flaming sun has sunk through Iho cloadless gray sky over in the west , leav ing first the streets in shadow , then the low buildings , but lingering on the roofs of the loftiest buildings and throwing vellow shafts * across the river on the summits of the bluffs. Deeper and deeper sinks the Herv ball , till with a farewell shaft thrown at the tower tff the high school , the sun has set , leaving the western sky ablaze with a glory of crimson mid gold and a hot day has faded into u hot night. People begin to swarm out into tlio streets for a breath of air. White arms und neglige shirts crowd Furniim street from the court house down to Ninth street. Ono by om > , lights glimmer from tlio windows of offices nnd homes. Every porch has its group of gisslp- ers. Streams of humanity are passing in and out of the door of sodawater dispensaries , ice cream parlors , beer saloons and every place where tlilwt may bo quenched. The broad sidewalks around the hotels-tho Murrav , Pnxton , Millard , Merchants' , Barker , CaseV , Windsor and all the rest of them are crowded with armchairs and even- chair has an occupant. The rotundas are deserted. On every corner , groups of lliinnel-shlricd , yel low-shod young bloods stand ogling the puss- ing procession of white-robed women and girls. Most of them will stand a second look. Plump , rosy-cheeked , red-lipped , fresh and cool , with the outline of a well rounded arm showing through tlio gauzy sleeves in few cities will u hot night bring out into the streets such an aggregation of well developed female beauty as in Omaha. Along the railings on the corner of Fif teenth and Farnum streets loiterers are perched , talking politics , business , religion and the weather. The policemen on the beat hnvo a wilted look and move along their beats la/.ily watch ing the shifting crowd. Clouds of insects hover around the electric lights and unpleasantly buzz into the faces of the passing pedestrians , calling forth now and Urai little feminine shrieks of dismay. Out at Jefferson square nnd on the high school grounds , every available vard of grass is occupied bv a lounger , white groups of shouting children , undismayed bv any sort of weather , rush in nnd out through the crowd in piny. There is a shrill strain of music near the opera house. Two little itinerant musicians have halted in front of the crowd with their accordeon. They have the dark eyes and hair of Italy , and are in tlio picturesque costume of their native land , with bright , green silk handkerchiefs bound over their foreheads und streaming down their backs. ' Sho's my sweetheart , I'm her ln'ini ; Shi-'s my Annie " ring out the shrill , strained , childish voices , and then chop off suddenly us if the machin ery had given out. The white helmet of a policeman is in sight and the smaller midget ducks through the crowd as if the fates were after her. SJDmvn at Fourteenth u wheezy "orgunctte" is dolefully groaning out "See-saw , seo-saw , now were up and down , " with tlio blind operator laboring away at the crank us if his lifo depended upon it. Two blocks further it Is , "A Spanish Cav iller Stooil in His Ketrcnt , " in a shrill nasal screech which almost spills ono's head. On the corner of Thirteenth a fakir with shoe-blacking which shines itself , under the yellow flame of a gasoline lamp is tieing a piece of rope into innumerable knots and bawling out an ungranimaticnl dissertation on "Lovely Woman mid Shoe-Blacking. " Gradually the crowd thins out. At 10 o'clock the white dresses have gone und u moderate percentage of tlio strollers nro loud-voiced and u little unsteady in their gait. The policemen nro steadily patrolling their beats , and many of tlio chairs at the hotels uro vacant. People uro going to bed mid can bo seen everywhere leaning out of the windows in their shirt sleeves. Now and then u little gust of cool air rushes up the street and the crowd bares Its head to greet it. Twelve o'clock strikes and the street begins to look deserted. Groups of a do/ten or more come from nil the saloon doors in various stages of hilarity waking tlio echoes with snatches of noisy song or noisier laughter. Cubs are beginnlnng to llnd business and are rattling hero and there over the pave ment. The patrolmen nro alert now , and us they move along their beats peer into the alloys and test the doors. Black clouds are banking up In the west and the nir has the portentious , expectant stillness which precedes n summer storm. Ono by ono the stars are blotted out till the whole sky is overcast. A blinding Hash of lightning , u crash of thunder , and down comes the ruin , washing the dusty pave ments , cooling the heated walls and 'sluicing the city into cool , refreshing sleep. The storm rolls away us itcamonndtho stars peep out again , but they look 'down on u now world , cooled and refreshed. Now thiH-o Is a clutter of hoofs down Six teenth street , over the viaduct , and from every direction ; tlio newspaper delivery boys are coming in to their work. A grayness creeps up In the east : birds begin to twitter in tho.trees ; a inoi-lting-liinl in a window over Ed Muurer's pours forth a burst of song , and thp hot night is ended ; a new day has dawned. IMIOUIIUTION KAiaaCV. lMtcuiii'riito | KniuitlcH Opposing ( lie niviiu ; Order ofTlilngs. CASH- POINT , 111. , Juno ' . ' 2. To the Kilitor of Tin : BIK : : Man is u physical , an intellL-cj- tual , mid a moral being. It Is well under stood that the muscles mid Iho mind must be used Hint they may bo properly developed. Were one to propose to produce u nation of athlutes and iiilelleclual glunts by making It impossible for men to use their muscles and their minds ho would bo regarded us a fit subject for un Insuno asylum. And yi-t pro hibitionists would have us believe thai Iho highest state of morals would bo produced by making men's environments such that they could not use their moral faculties. They say : "It Is our duty to put temptations out of men's way. " That Is , wo should so arrange society that men could not do wrong. Tlu-y seem not to know that were It Impossible for men to do wrong It would likewise be impos sible for them to do right ; that wllh < mt choice act * could bavo no mural quality ; that with out uu opportunity t > rhouhu bi-t wri-n right and wrung inc'ii eould huvu no m < rul t hunic- U-rs. \Vb-'iiCiod created muu 1U put aim in a garden to dross It and to keep It. Ho thus made It man's duty to URO hi * muschvs and his mind. Did not God also make it obllgu- tory on man to use his moral faculties ) Ho ccrtalnlr did when He commanded htm say- lugs "Of the tree of knowledge of good aud evil , thou shalt not cat of It. " Hud the first pair nnd all their posterity hud no choice between right and wrong It 1 * evi dent that man could not hnvo slimed. There would have liccn neither sorrow nor suffering hi consequence of transgression. There would have been no need of u Savior to make an atonement for slu. Why then did an In- linetely wise and benevolent God place man In a state of probation ! Why did Ho give man a moral law which ho might transgress ) "Ah. " "this . " says ono , is u profound mystery. There Is nothing mysterious nltoul It. Uod. having created man with u mend nut uro and having endowed htm with moral facultieswas under Iho necessity wo speak reverently of placing him under circumstances In which ho could use his mural faculties and thus de velop his moral nature. For Uod to Imvo endowed dewed man its He did and then to have placed him under cireumstunei's where ho could have bad no use far the moral faculties with which he had endowed him , would have been us irrational as It would be to form an eye and then plucu ils possessor whore there | s no light.Where Where ought man's liberty to choose begin , and where should It end ! uro questions which tiono but the Creator could answer. Clod's law dourly defines the.so boundaries. Man has liberty to choose whether he will or will not obey God's commands. H is wise and right and just Hint man should have liberty to this extent and no farther. Those who say : "Man's liberty to choose ought not to hnvo so wide a range , " in effect say : "I know better than Clod does what should'bo the ex tent of man's liberty to choose. " Prohibi tionists would have us believe that it would hi1 much better for the liuiima family if they had no choice as to whether or not they would obey the command of the Most High : "Be not drunk. " They thus place themselves in direct antagonism with Jehovah. Think ye this Is u small mutter to manifest a spirit which to all Intents und purpose * says : "Had I the power I would dethrone the Sovereign ofthounlver.se ; I am wiser than IIo.1 uTIuit it is the duty of Hum to obey every command of Uod is a truth which none will attempt to controvert. H matters not what one's motives may be , it is morally wrong for him to throw any obstacle In the way Of mankind " kind obeying a divine command. "Prohibi tionists are laboring lo make it impossible for men to disobey the command : "Be not drunk. " They are therefore striving to make it : iinpossiblo for men to obey this command , for without choice there can be no obedience. Prohibitionists are thus sin ning against C5od. True , they verily helluvu that they are doing ( < od service. So did Saul when he was persecuting iho church , when ho was Iho chief of sinners. Prohibitionists are laboring under the do- 'lusion that temperance would bo greatly promoted meted by making it impossible for men to bo intemperate. Then they ought to know that temperance is u virtue ; that virtue is tlio result of having chosen to do right ; that were there no choice there could be no virtue. They ought to know that were it impossible for men to bo dishonest they could not possess the virluo of honesty ; that were it impossible for men to bo Intemperate they could not possess the virtue of temperance. Prohibitionists nro therefore laboring to make it impossible for men to be temperate instead of laboring In the cause of temperance. Present tlio foregoing arguments to anv prohibitionist who is capable of understand ing sound logic , and he will reply : "We uro lighting the saloon , sir. " Strange , is it not , that if the saloon is what they are lighting that neither the word saloon nor ils equiva lent is found in tlio national platform of the prohibition parly ! If they are not laboring to make it impossible for men to obtain intoxicants to use as a beverage , why does their national platform demands that the manufacture of alcoholic ! beverages shall be prohibited us u crimof A saloon can no moro exist without u patron than It could without a liquor vendor. It requires at least forty patrons lo support .1 saloon. If the saloon is to bo permanently closed men must cease to patronize it. What men have a right to pur chase and consume someone must have a right to sell. Prohibitionists say : "Tho man who tempts another man to do wrong is u worse man than tlio one who yields to the tempter ; tlio liquor vendor is worse than the drunkard. " According to this logic , the man who tempts another to sell Intoxicants is worse than Iho liquor vendor. Why not pun ish men for purchasing liquor ! Why not punish men for drinking alcoholic beverages ( S. Ilnsitv. Chinese Napkins , Per Hundred. By Mail , Postpaid.
