THE NEWS IN THE BLUFFS ,
Gut-Off Island to be Loft Without Polios
Protection.
GETTING READY FOR THE EUCTION.
Tlio C.imltdntng for the Various Ofll-
ocs Prepare to Offer Them-
oclvcR mi tlio Allar of
Their Country.
The question what to do with Cnt-ofT
Island has bccujtroubllng the city authorities
for some tlmo past. An effort was made
last summer to get that part of the city uioro
closely under the control of the law , nnd to
do this a pollco ofUeor was nut there
to keep order nnd to inako what arrests
might bo necessary. Months have pasied ,
and no arrests hnvo bocn nnulo. ThcnM ro
half n dozen saloons running there , and not
ono of them has ever paid a dollar into the
city treasury , and the result Is that the au
thorities are beginning to bo somuwhat dis
gusted with their attempts to tnuko Cut-off
island a law abiding community. Last night
) fllcer Fultz , who has been on duty there ,
vus ordered to report for duty In the city.
nnd from now on there will not bo anymore
wllco on the island , at least for the present.
The failure to collect the lines from the
saloonkeepers on the island the saino as from
hose In any other part of .tho city , is duo to
nn all-around misunderstanding among the
towers that bo. Whether Cut-off Island Is a
iart of Omaha or Council Blurts Is still un
settled , the matter now being in the federal
courts. It Ills a part of Omaha this city has
10 right to levy lines on the property owners ,
mid any attempt to ilo so would" probably bo
resisted to tlio bltti-r end. In ease the
mirshal tried to collect those monthly fines
nnd mot with any opposition , the only thing
'or him to do would bo to arrest the olTender.
hit after bo had arrested lilm , ho would bo
faced by another dlflleulty ; there would Do
10 way to get him to this side of the river
ixcept by taking him through the state of
Nebraska , and if the prisoner resisted
mil had to bo brought by force
10 would hnvo a very nice lit-
lo case ngalnst the olllcer for kid-
lapping. Tins prospect thu city marshal
Iocs not care to face , nnd consequently the
lines go uncollcctod. Chief ( Jury says ttio
idea that the marshal can't bring a prisoner
through Nebraska without a requisition is
all bosh. Hut the marshal says If tlio chief
wants to ninko arrests In thnt way ho can
have all the Honor that Is In It. This Is not
the llrst case , tiowovcr , in which the marshal
nnd the chlel have disagreed ,
It Is expected that the removal of Oftlecr
b'nltz from the Island will ralso a howl from
the property owners in that vicinity. Tlio
property there is quite valuable and is con
stantly 'becoming moro so. The taxes for
last year amounted , it Is said , to ovorl,4M ( > ,
anil the men who pay this amount into the
city's treasury will very likely insist on get
ting something In return for It.

The mayor's proclamation fixing the tint

core has stirred up tho. aspirants , and not
withstanding the zero weather thnt is prevailing
vailing , the spring campaign has already bo

bo vacated by Alderman ICncphcr , whose

ally mentioned for the place Is that of ox-Al-
dcrman Weaver of the Second , who has had
a coed deal of experience in city matters.
There is no question but ho would boaptronp
candidate , and if the democrats should nom
inate him there Is llttlo doubt but he would go
into the ofllco with a satisfactory majority
notwithstanding some opposition would bo
aroused by the fact that bo is a prominent
contractor.
In the Third ward nn alderman will hnvo
to bo elected to till out the unoxplred term of
the Into Mr. Lacy. The name most commonly
mentioned in connection with the place is S.
B. "Wadsworth , but the friends of that gen
tleman are circulating the report that ho
positively will not accept the nomination
from any party. With Wudsworth out of the
race there are half a dozen aspirants whoso
chances are about equally good in the con
ventions of both parties.
The most important vacancy in the council
Is that created by the completion of the term
of Alderman Everett in the Fourth wnrd.
The ward is republican , nnd Mr. Everett can
succeed himself If ho desires. Tho'niinounco-
meut Is inndo scml-ofllclnlly , however , that
ho will positively not boa candidate. The
Fourth is ono of the most important wards In
the city , nnd it is very likely n strong light
will bo made In the primaries. A dozen
names are mentioned , but the campaign has
uot progressed far enough to warrant their
publication ,
In the Sixth wnrd Alderman MIkesell's
term expires , and ho has also given It out
cold that ho will not bo a candidate for re
election. A number of names have been
printed in connection with the vacancy , hut
tuulr owners nro anxiously endeavoring to
keep their little booms out of sight until the
proper time comes.
The situation r.s it appears now indicates
the determination of the aspirants to do a
good deal of still liuntlntr , nnd the men who
want the places the most and will do the
greatest nmount of hard work to obtain thorn
will seek the most earnestly to keep the fact
from bocoiulng generally known for the next
week or two.
The other ofllcos nro not much sought
nfti'r. There nro only two of them , Ono is
park commissioner and the other is town
ship clerk , The former has no salary nt all
attached to it and the other has realized
in the past the princely sum of Slit a year.
No candidates has come forward to annoui.ce
themselves for dither of them.

At 7 o'clock last evening wullo Mr. J. J.
Johnson nnd family , who reside at " ' 0 Fur-
nam street , were enjoying nqulet Sunday
evening chat they suddenly heard a roaring
nnd cracking of tire creeping up the parti
tion between the back parlor and the dining
room. The smoke soon began to fill the
house , nnd hurrying 10 the stairs which lead
into the furnace room Mr. Johnson
saw thnt a brisk tire was burning along the
coiling of the basement near the furnace.
The alarm was nt once turned in anil several
of the neighbors rushed In to assist In remov
ing the furniture. When the chemical cn-
RIIO | from No. 3 nrrlved the ilreinen said
they could subdue the tlamcs without danger
to the furniture , and the work
of emptying the house caused. The
damage could not bo estimated with any de-
proo of accuracy , but will probably roach
S.'OO on the building and double that amount
by smoke upon the carpets and furniture.

I5ev. Merrill's Sermon at tlio Metho-
. ( list Clinro'j Imst Kvi'ning.
Kov. S. P. Merrill of the FInt Methodist
church preached last evening upon 'the sub
ject ol small vices. His text was found in
the Twenty-third chapter oi the Songs of
Solomon nnd reads as lollows : "Bring me ,
the foxes , the llttlo foxes that spoil the
vines. " These little foxes that Hov. Merrill
intended to warn the people about were not
the four-footed , cunning creatures that rob
the hen roosts , but ttio sly and insidious cus
toms and vices of modern society. I In said
that when the hunters turn loose a
pet fox that will not run they
nro angry because the fun is cut
short. They want a spry nnd vigorous
fox that will run a long way and a long time
before captured. It Is so with young people
of the present day. They ilo not want to kill
off the little foxes , the innocent appearing
vices right away , but would rather let them
run awhile. It is great enjoyment , they
think , to chase thorn for several years. The
particular vices that Kov. Merrill likened to
young foxes were the babit of card
playing , theutcr-golng , dancing and wine
drinking. As to card playing , theater-going
and dancing , Kov. Merrill said ho would not
say that they were very wrong of them
selves , but they tend to compromise Chris
tians who practice thorn nnd dissipate their
influence. Ho thought that wino drinking
wns the worst of the four nnd
should not ho countenanced by young
Christians under any circumstances.
These habits not only compromise
a Christian , but they nro absolutely forbid
den by the Methodist church and tlio Meth
odists should avoid them and obey the rules
they have promised to oboy. . Ho referred to
hli own experience ns an example of the wis
dom of refraining from a participation in the
four so-called vices ho enumerated. He had
been tempted when a boy nt the print
er's trade by nil of these things
but had refused to play cards and drink and
dance. Ho had gene to theaters some but
became disgusted with iho whole category of
stage performances. As n result of his ro-
frainiiitf from these dissipations ho had se
cured an education by the careful saving of
his money and the useful employment of his
tlma ; while others who labored nt the ease
by his side have gene down to drunkards
graves because they gave way to all the
allurements of the card tnblo , the theaternnd.
the wino room. Ho bold that the wisest and
best men in the Methodist church have
always nnd do today maintain that card playIng -
Ing , theater going , dancing and wino drink
ing are dangerous and sinful habits and all
Methodists should strenuously avoid them.
The sermon was preached , Rev. Merrill
stated , at the request of u , member of his
congregation who has n largo family of
children , some of whom seem to bo drifting
into the meshes of those alluring pastimes.
