It seems that four men named George Hade- way , John Bennett , Kodno.y Hoyco and Ed Cochrane , herders belonging to Stlmrcrs & Humphrey's outfit , were found dead In their cabin Friday. They had Caught the Indians the day before killing a steer be longing to their herd being held on the agency for delivery at Pine KIdgo. They threatened to report the depredators to the Indian agent , and this so exasperated the Indians that they made threats , which It seems , they carried Into execution several hours later. U Is hardly probable any gen eral trouble will follow , and tliu people about the agency are not alarmed. NO TitOUr.S NKUKSS.VItY.

The Evening I5co yesterday published an article to the effect that the stallion Stamboul never trotted a mlle In' ' 2 : OT-f ' on the kite-shaped track nt Stockton nnd , In fact , that ho did not don second faster than 2:10. On De cember 20 , in less than a month after the alleged record was made at Stockton , Stain- Iwul was sold In Now York to D. II. Ilummun for ft 1,000. John S. Kearney , who was ono of the Judges at Stockton , when Stamboul trotted , says that ho never signed the judge's books and positively denies ho over authorized J Laruo , the secretary of the association , to do so. llo says that there were no books there and ho never saw any. and that ho Is as certain as ho can bo of anything that .Stamboul did not make the time in less than 8:10. : for ho could not have done sojn the condition of the track , for-lt was inud'dy and lieavy.

The contestants were Harry Sharp , a local printer , and Frank Crosby , boxing Instructor nt the I'astlmo club of this city. The purse was $500 and 75 per cent of the gate receipts , and amounted to about 1,500. Every round was bitterly contested , and at its close both men resem bled more a mass of bruised and bloody pulp , than anything else.

NEEDED MUNICIPAL REFORMS Judge Ambrow Delivers an Interesting Ad dress Before the Live Issue Olub. TOOK ISSUE WITH OMAHA MINISTERS Tim I'no of thn Snloon llncii en hjthn School llonril Dlinmcd nt Length nnd thn Knllney of .Illnlxtcrliil A-norlu- tlon'it 1'rotent Kxjioiieil. The recent discussion of the gambling and kindred evils In Omaha by the Ministerial association has awakened considerable In terest among the citizens. There arc some people who do not think that the city Is as black as the reverend gentlemen would lead nn outsider to think nnd they havoValllcd to the defense. At the meeting of the Live- Issue club at the Llnluger gallery the other evening Judge O. W. Ambrose read n paper on needed municipal reforms and the use of the proceeds from the saloon licenses for the public school fund. Mr. Ambrose did notiiinvc with the ministers In his views , but his ptrpcr was none the less interesting on that account. His address was as follows : The scope of this entire subject Is so great that matter for several such papers might prolltably bo obtained , but there Is some compeimtio'li.In . so prolific a theme. It will furnish ample food for discussion , and I hope for some thought In your homes In the days to come. Heforms needed In Omaha are many. 1 shall attempt to hint at but few of them. The city is young compared with the cfToto east. I huvirknown nnd been n part of it for twenty-live years ; hi'that time much has been accomplished in Its social life ; In Its growth , moral as well as physical. A noted divine lately said : "That Omaha contained more sin to the square Inch than any other city In tho-union. " There are three things the trouble with a man who will make such a statement. First , ho made it thoughtlessly and without sulllclent know ledge ; second , wickedly and with Intention to create a sensation ; third , or he was a fool. I do not know but what 1 am safe In saying that the elements of his character are all contained In the latter expression. This city Is metropolitan , fast approaching a cosmopolitan character. Its growth has been wonderful and , like a child who has grown to inches beyond its years , has some loose joints. What city has not ! Will there over bo a city in the world which does not , in some parts , swing on Its hinges llko the old farm gatei Wo have been , In years gone , a .typical western city somewhat wild free and easy. A quarter of a century ago free and easy places of amusement ( so-called ) , gambling places open upon the streets , saloons and halls with music and girl waiters were In vogue. Heform in this regard has long been accomplished : it has come naturallw. with out much effort. All such tblntrs have adopted Horace Greeley's advice and "gone west. " The moral and spiritual sentiment has grown with and , because of our natural advantages , helped by our physical breadth and strength. The church and public school , of which I shall spj/ik presently , have been 'aids in tneso rti7orms aud 1 liopo over will be. Gambllufc , social evil and vice entailed thereby still continue under cover and In out of the way places. These evils , together with saloons , still exist here as elsewhere , but of the three classes gambling is the worst. You destroy gambling hells anil you take from the hlugcs the front doors of the other two places. Gambling of all vlco is most destroying to the soul of man ; none other so bad ; with It comes naturally the vice of drink and the contact with the social evil. Noth- Ing'so degrades the moral tone of man as this growing and , In this city , licensed vice. Wo have an astonishing exhibition of venal ity upon the part of our lawmakers In rela tion to this evil. The statutes of Nebraska make the offense of gambling punlshablo In the penitentiary { or uot more than two years. Up to May , IS'J-J , the authorities made some show of suppression , when , in that month , by our reform council and reform mayor , an ordinance was passed placing the punishment by line at from $5 to $200. The avowed purpose of the passage of this act was to allow the gambler to open up and pay monthly tin agreed line by way of license. , Now , $15jf ) per month Is paid into the police court by'theso elegant places of men's resort and it Is called punishment. The state law- is Ignored. Invitation is thereby sent out to the world that Omaha husbccouo the Monte Carlo of the west , and princely proprietors of tlens in other cities have como among us , fitting up palatial resorts , and the doors are Hung wide open ; this under the gulso of law and by the act of a mayor , who was put for ward to represent the religious senti ment of this community , in the wel come extended the Methodist confer ence the same month. What a travesty 1 You have in this city hospitals and jails. In which sick men and women are confined by force of law and often by poverty. They are cared for by men nnd women , uneducated in such matters and often unlltted by nature for such work. The place Is secured through political influence or favor of the ofllclals. Our county hospital is presided over by a political favorite and has always been ; not because of his Illness , but because lui is nn essential man in the ward primaries. His wife Is made matron , simply because she is his wife and a homo Is thus provided for the family of the ward striker. The debt Is paid. Do you want to see a change In the particu lars mentioned ? Do you want to put to shiuno the solons of this city In passing and continu ing such n licensed gambling lawt Do you want to stop gambling ) Do you want your sons and brothers led Into channels other than are found on Douglas street east of Thir teenth street ? First , gambling houses ; second , pawn shops ; and then what ? Go down Douglas street any night and you will see It In full blast. I give you but the out- It les you may 1111 In the picture. Do you want our hospitals made curative and our jails reformatory ( If you do you have the means at your command. A-gentleman said to me : "My wlf mis nothing to do ; our cook provides our meal ; our mending Is done by our second girl ; my wife's dresses are made by herseamtress ; she gets her breakfast , goes to her painting , her French and music lessons. She is de veloping in culture. My homo Is made more pleasant to bo sure , but how of our common humanity ? " This is not n singular or a fancy picture. There arc many homes of the same klnu In Omaha. The particulars I have pointed out In which reform is needed can bo accomplished by women and never In the world by men. Wo lords of creation , as wo pride ourselves , are too busy hunting the almighty dollar , so that our wives may enjoy the leisure of the ono just described. Wo have neither the sympathy nor tact to accomplish the desired results. Wo are not such lords of creation as wo sometimes Imagine. Our wives con trol us. Wo are led whcii-wo think wo are leading. Lot a woman's club bo formed of , say ' . ' 00 women , of all shades of religious be lief , social and political Influence , having In view practical work , as well as other worlt on Ibies of woman's thought. What a ixjwer In t.-.ls community 1 Not only 200 women , but 200 families , in line of battle for social or municipal reform. Talk about your reform political clubs , composed of men wanting ofilco , desiring to get the Ins out , so that the outs may bu in. Why , it would bo nowhere in point of Inllui'nco. Man , with all tils assumed superiority and learning , has not ouo tithe of the intuitive knowledge of woman , A woman's judgment , enforced by accurate technical knowledge , is nover'wrong. Her discernments are quicker ; her knowledge of what is wanted to correct u given wrong Is Infallible. If Oed bo In thu sky and s a , Ami lives In light , ul , ruS | Uio storm , Then ( Jed Is Uotl. although hu bo Knslirliml within a woman' * form , And claims glud rnvuruncii from mo , Some of the so-called divine lights of this city at tno lust ministerial conference cave utterance to sentiments which , carried out , would sap the foundations not only of BO- cioty but of ttie government Itself. Ono of them , Dr. Sterling , wanted the curtailing of the secular studies and the establishment of religious schools so that students could pursue - sue the study of the bible. Some men who pay the large burden of tuxes in the country do not agree with the reverend doctor upon the necessity of the study of the bible and so object to the IMP of public funds for purely orthodox teaching of the bible. Another class of people who pay largo taxes bollovo In the prosecution of studies of the bible In the schools , but us their bible li not the King James version they nro opposed to the public school system and want nothing but parochial schools , some going so far as to de mand a part of tlio public scltoo fund for such use. The consensus of opin ion , both of educators as well as Itiwmnkurs , Is that the public school Is open to all classes who desire the common secular teaching of the day. nnd to no others. The man who advocates the teichlng of the bible by the use of the public funds Is starting out upon n long road of reformation of ptihllnnnd judicial sentiment , built upon the linn foun dation of utility , custom aud l.\w , and his teachings nro of llttlo practical account , or moment , In any community. The man who advocates the abrogation of the public school system , or withdraws his support from It , for any cause. Is either on the road to llomo or Is too good to live In a world where ho has been placed for some Inscrutable purpose , God knows what. Listen to some of the utterances of these clerical gentlemen. Dr. J. A. Hcndcrxm took ui ) the subject and oll'eroil a few reil hot suggest Ions , lie hud taken bis children out of thu public schools lie- caiiso he could nut endure the thought of educating them on money derived front sinful and degrading Institutions sanctioned by the city government. "I ii'xroo with Sir. .Mills , the evangelist , " .said Kev. Sterling. "I would nilhur that my child could not read at all than toliave him educated on the revcntio of Inliiiilty. I will not agree to ride a monster with the head of a tiliin and thu II-KS and tall of the dnvll. " Uu advocated thn plan of humllng children to church or parochial schools. Dr. Davis , a Presbyterian missionary , also though ! that the time had conio when Chris tian people hud better take tholr children out iif the public schools and send them to relig ious .schools maintained by the churches. I quote from the public press of the day , but nm assured by a clergyman present that these gentlemen were correctly reported. The advocates of the withdrawal of their support from the public schools of this city , for this cause , have fallen Into the lap of Homo ; yet I doubt not either of them will discourse from his pulpit against the teach ings of the mother Catholic church. They will bo consistent , won't they ? If the license fund Is wrong , It la funda mentally so , It Is not wrong because Its use is so applied. This must be a truth which every one will recognize. Thu public school system of this state Is founded upon public law. The fundamental law of the state directs that the lines and licenses of the various cities shall bo used for the supimrt of the public school therein. These gentlemen are surely law abiding. They would resent any imputation 01 their character in that regard. If they -obel against this use , us thus provided , their duty is to seek to change the law so as to conform to their views , or else by their pres ent attitude they become quasi anarchists. Their views , If carried out by the whole people , would subvert the social system. They teach It , so they must , In order to bo consistent , bo in favor of founding n now school of law , philosophy and social status. The church nnd public school have been the main stays of this gov ernment ; without both elements society would bo chaos. If these gentlemen with drew their support from the school for this ' cause , let mo s'uppose n case : Change the constitution so that tlio lines and licenses shall bo used for the cure of the public streets and the support of the general city government and use the general taxes for the support of the schools. How would that suit you ? If their views are carried out logically my clerical friends would refuse to walk on the streets repaired by the use of the "revenue of Iniquity , " or to live In a town supported by it. The only thing they could do would bo to go to Heaven. A bright little girl , the daughter of n street paver In this city many years ago , in attendance upon the Sabbath school of the First Congregational church , listened to Dr. Sherrill's description of heaven with its jasnor walls and streets paved with gold and silver. It clung to her young mind , and going homo very thoughtfully asked her mother if it was true that the streets of heaven were paved with gold and silver. She was told yes ; then dropping her head for a moment , she said , "I don't believe It is as good pavement as papa's asphalt. " But what \vould our clerical friend say of paving the streets either with asphalt or gold and silver , If paid for by "money derived from sinful and degrading Institutions ? " In the language of Dr. Henderson. It.is unnecessary in this presence to cn- forCe by argument , or by the history of the country the necessity of maintaining inviolate the Integrity of the publlo school system as given to us by our fathers. It is ho-o and to stay for all time , untrarnincled and unpolluted by sectarian bias or prejudice. The evils out of which the lines and licenses grow are hero also and have been here , denounced by public law and private sentiment over since the thunders of Sinai. They must be met , controlled , exterminated by some means If possible. This llfo Is u condition , not a theory. I would give more for n man who , by hard blows , wise counsels , seeks to eradicate the evils which wo have , than for a whole body of men who seek to tear down the Institu tions ol governmental support nnd erow th by narrow , bigoted , partisan , or religious prejudice. Ono Is lit to live on earth among men for their betterment ; the other Is not lit to live on earth , and I very much doubt If ho is capable of reaching heaven. Give wwa man from'whoso warm pulsa tions como thoughts and actions freighted with love for country and Its institutions , which tire its chief bulwark , unufliicted with can't , or a dcslro to tear down , ono who is self-reliant , ex pressing his firm convictions today , If wrong change his opinion tomorrow ; but I have no patience with ono who cants , rails at established institutions , thinks that the embodiment of all virtue is contained In his pigmy soul , anathematizing others who think and act differently and saying to his Maker : "Here , Lord , am I the only pure in thought , Sot uj > on my forehead the seal of Thine ap probation that I bo known may as-tho ex ponent of 'Ihy will , to ' .each others how to do nnd what to say. " The route to heaven shown by such teachers I do not want to traverse. Do not think by my Intense way of putting things that I am a scoffer , or look upon religions teachings with disfavor , for I do not. I believe that Christ Initiatory , is the grandest character the world has over produced .and every morning as I leave my door , I look up Into God's face anil ask his guidance through the day. I hop ? the steps advocated by these clerical friends will not llnd many followers , bo ho Methodist , Dap- list , Episcopalian , Ctuvinist or Uoinanist , for no man will bo safe who lays hands ruth lessly upon the public school system for any cause.

United States Fish Commissioner McDonald does not look for any legislation by the present congress for the preservation of the salmon fisheries of Alaska , but ho will ninlca a determined effort to secure legislation ou this subject by the next congress. 1'ho commissioner says that It has been Impoinlblo to Impress upon legislators the Importance of the Industry and the enormous pecuniary interest n- volved , more valuable , indeed , If properly cared for , thau.tho sealing " luterrsts of the Bering 83ji , over which aa" much discussion has been had. Unless some regulations are soon provided by cougress , ho fcara the criminal catch of salmon will bo an grout that HIP supply will bo exhausted. Tim commissioner nays that hi order to maintain the supply u considera ble proportion of the run Into rivers must bo permitted to pas * up and accomplish mtural reproduction in the lakes and tributary streams , or that artificial propagation of the younn and their distribution to thn head waters of streams must bo prosecuted on n scale. adequate to compensate for the Inter ference with and the curtailment of natural reproduction by the operation of the fisher ies. ies.Tho The establishment of a closed season would assure that some proportion of the run would succeed lit reaching their sp.uvn- Ing grounds , which vnr.ild have a conserva tive inllitcnco In keeping up the supply. ' would render slower the depletion of the waters and would probably prevent the ex termination of salmon. IVI'ho commissioner thinks that the estab lishment of tuition U s'llmon p.irks or salmon reservations would bo another aid to the solution of the problem and would bo an Im portant factor In maintaining production , and could bo accomplished with relatively llttlo cost. The absolute prohibition of the cap ture of salmon by the use of any kind of nets or traps within UK ) yards of the mouth of n river Is another of these re quirements , reasonably and uniformly enforced. ho says , would probably bo suulelont to maintain regular conditions of production and render perma nent this great food resource. The enforce ment of these regulations would demand the employment of a largo stalT. On this ac count , he believes that better results could bo accomplished by limiting the catch In each stream tolls actual productive capacity and by leasing the privileges of taking the salmon to the highest bidder.

Tills is thought bv tlio old Hottk'i-H to bo a forerunner of ills- aster. tu It has boon in the early days of the state. The cause of the revival of the old Htory of Itn haunting the river and the ancient Immigrant trail was the report of two young men who. with a companion , had recently bought a ranch lying along the Houth'baiift of the stream. About a week ago the three wore out hunting , when they ran across a child , whoso appearance thereabouts was not to bo explained , and which , on being accosted by the men. vanished at once. saj-H the Long I'lno , Neb. , correspondent of the riilladolphia Times. The story , in the language of one of the party , runs thus : "We had reached an open tract near the river when we saw an object moving n t ahead of us and which we took for a deer. HO Harker. who was in front some yardH , lired at it. Hut the next moment on riding forward wo were horrillcd to see that thoobjcct was a child of f > or ( i , who came on us as if it had not oven heard the report of our guns , "It was an odd looking creature , ap parently a boy , though still in a loose sort of frock and had long , fair hair fall ing over its shoulders. Hut the singular thing about it was the expression on the face , which was llxed into a look of utter horror , with the blue eyes staring straight ahead of it as if it saw nothing but the night that had fro/en that ex pression on its little white countenance. Strlvkun with Terror. "Though neither of us had the slight est inkling that the boy was not mortal , wo sat and watched It for a minute or two in silence and with an odd feeling of awe or something that's got no name playing along our backbones. "The little thing came on until it was within a foot or two of fiarker , who hall fired upon it and who had been so afraid that the shot had struck it that he could not do anything but look at it ; then when ho was ab.mt to put out Ills baud and touch it the child was gone like a pull1of wind. ' 'It was so sudden that it left us sitting staring at each other for a few seconds , when the strangeness of the disappear ance came over us and we rode around a space looking for the child , though we know that it could not have gotten away without our having seen which way it went. went.Vo " \Vo talked of little else all that day , for it was the queerest thing we had over had happen to us , but the occur rence seemed to make more impression on Barker than on Guild ford and me , and he kept telling over and over , in a way that made my blood run cold , of the look of the little creature's eyes as they stared up at him. "Tho next day ho proposed to search more thoroughly the spot whore the child had come from , and though both Guildford and I had had enough of the thing which \yo dreaded , though without exactly knowing why , wo accompanied him. Wo had hardly reached the place when wo heard a low wail ing cry , as of uomo little one in despair and pain , and sure enough hero came the strange child gliding from some thicket. "It came forward with the same set , awful expression on UH face , its bluooyes as intent on what it saw and wo did not. Barker's horse plunged and tried to run as the phantom drew near , but ho hold it as well as he could until the child had nearly reached his side , when , with a wild snort of almost human terror , the animal tore its head loose from his hold and , rearing violently , throw him heav ily to the ground. iu'cl Aiiininli. "Ho lay BO motionless that Guildford and I sprang from our horses and rushed to him , but oven before we reached him wo guessed the truth. His neck had been broken by the fall and ho died instantly , while ills hot-bo ran madly across the prairie , with ours following , pursued by the same mad few1. ' 'Hut the child was gone as suddenly as the night before. I watched beside my poor friend while Guildford went tote to the ranch to procure some means of bringing the remains to town. " \Vo decided that the appearance of the child had boon the signal of disaster , and from what we have heard since it appears that that was not the first time it had been the forerunner of death. " The old settlers date the first appear ance of the child , phantom back some Hfty years , though its coming is at long intervals , often with years between , but it is said tif bring misfortune to those who behold it. - Many are the stories told in connec tion with it , but the most generally ac cepted explanation is that the little restless faoul is that of a child who . be longed to an emigrant train which passed this way in Nebraska's early days , and which was destroyed by the Indians with the exception of this tot , which in il terror hid itself in the long grass , and so escaped the frightful death of its parents , only to perish of cold , thirst and hunger on the bleak banks of the river. However this may bo , it is a known fact that the Indians over after enter tained the greatest horror of the place , and avoided it whenever it was possible , though they could never bo porsuadi-d to give any reason for the awe with which they regarded it , only saying , when questioned , ' 'Much heap bud land. " Another ICnrninitor with tint HpcrKir. This fear Is shared by the old inhabi tants , who have caused the road to bo abandoned. Occasionally parties of mint- era cam on the tabooed spot , but no suc cess lias ever been known to attend their efforts , the game , otherwise plentiful in this region , giving the place a wldo berth , while the river iUolf appears to creep by sluggish and dark , us if it know the dark secret of the spot. Colonel Youngman of this place re lates the following enc.Kintor ho had once with the specter in those words : "Of eoui'hO I had heard of the ghost , but , being entirely skeptical in regard to such mutters , paid-uo attention to the story. . I bought the tract of land , of which tills spot is part , in 1ST ! ) , and com menced to break the ground for a buck wheat farm , but the first day | ono of the men came up , to the house and asked to see mo alwut'lho work. "Ho declared that he and the others could not use the plow because of an indescribable atmosphere that seemed to envelop the spot. The man was white under his sunburn , and though ho was evidently at a loss to express himself , was certainly in earnest , HO , though convinced it was all an idea coining from the uncanny reputation of the place , I accompanied him to whore the men wooe ut work , or rather to whooo they wore Btunillnjr about waiting for mo. "They all began to toll me of thiu'iuiHo of the suspension of their work , but as I could perceive nothing out of the waj , 1 put it down to imagination , when one of them wild , 'You ain't on the right spot , I'omo a little this way and you'll reo what wo mean. ' "So t walked forward Uwarn the river , when I was mot by a stream of leo cold air , though It was a fair spring day. but It was not only cold , but full of something that I could describe no better than the laborers. There was a faint , horrid odor ab.mt . the place that scorned to speak of death , and well , as I said , I cannot de eribe it , except to say that it turned mo sick from head to foot.

However , at last I got them started , when a thrill as of electricity ran down my arm. the plow was upset , and the frlghti > u d oxen broke into a gallop , dragging the heavy plow after them.

"As I hud failed so signally myself , I ' could hardly expect the men to'go on with the task , so gave it up. though still convinced that the cause of the strange current of air was'duo to some peculiar formation of the land in c miW-tion with the river , though I i'id not pretend to understand how this was. "But a few years after I had an ex perience with the ghost that haunts the place that shook my skepticism to the foundation and caused me t' ' ) uivopt the general version as to what it is that can be neon there. Ono of my cows hud strayed away and I traced her to witiim a few yards of this accursed spot , init hero they turned off in another direc tion. tion."I "I was about to follow them when my attention was attracted b.a . sort of low- crying that seemed at a distauco. , ami which I was unable to locate. Thinking that it might be that of a new born caH I halted to fry and see what direction it came from. Tim Chilli VanUlu-H.
