An Inquiry through The Uee carrier * to Ui subscribers to ascertain what fault they tind Still the paper and what suggestions the > Iiftvo to tnako litu > brought out some Inter- eating as well as amusing answers. The fthSWcrs covr a wide range of subjects. While most of them approve without qunll- llcftllcn the pulley nnd practices of Thu H"e fls : i newspaper , some of them Impart useful sUB'go.Mlons , while others are Interesting on account of their humor. Several persons find fault with The Hoe because It docs not print cartoons , while others make It a "wtand-off" by praising The. Ilco for Its omission of the cartoon feature. One man gives It as his opinion that news of prominence , such as murders and other sensational crimes , should be kept standIng - Ing from day to day Instead of he I us printed once and then dropped. On the other hand , several clergymen raise objections lo The lice because It publishes too miifh murder news and criminal reports and not enough of chtm-h affairs. One subscriber praises The lice because It Is not addicted to "blowing its own horn. " Another says The Dee carries too much ad vertising , thus making Ihe paper too bulky. "Just tell the editor that If he stops abusing the queen of Kugland his paper will bo nil right , " said one of the subscrib ers , hut when and how nnd where The Uoe has abused her majeiity ho failed lo pcc- liy. "The Hoe is too partisan , " Is the complaint of ono ot Its constant readers. "It does not announce In advance the speeches of men prominent on the oilier side Ihe mecl- Ings of such men us John 1'eter Altgeld , for example until after they have gone. " SO ho says. If this man will call at the bnslnr u olllce of The Hoe ho will learn that John Peter will be allowed to advertise his meetings ! at the same rale given to other performers.

A woman who him taken The Heo ever since It wns started has a grievance against the paper IHVIUISO In IS'ifi In the description of a ball game It stated that one of her boys was a poor pitcher. "The paper Is tin- reasonable In HH criticisms of persons , " says this fond mother , basing her opinion on The Dee's criticism of her son as a base ball pitcher. Dually to the point is the following com plaint from some young and rising pro- fcnslonal men : "Wo like The Heo. It Is the most reliable newspaper ; It gives the beat and the most news : but. we think that In mentioning business affairs It should be more liberal. I-Vr Instance , in giving the details of a lawsuit It ought lo publish the namcH of the attorneys. Instead of referring to them simply as the attorney for the plulnliff and the attorney for the defendant. Again , when H mirgcon saws off a leg or performs a successful operation for appendi citis , his naiil" ought to bo pilnted In c n- ncctlon w-lh | the Item. Lawyers and doctors v.ould appreciate some such liberal recogni tion from The Hoc. Wo could then send the paper to our friends and college chums and thus lot them know how we are rising In the world. Under the pi wont conditions w have to write letters if wo wish to inform them how wn are prospering and wo don't like to do that. It makes life worth living lo see our names in print , especially In the best newspaper in the west. " These few sample answers show the char acter of the majority cf the criticisms re cently received. ELEVATOR OPE .ATORS DANCE Klunnl Stirfi'NN of I hi" Annual Oi-t'H- Nloii at Tlim-Nton IIIUi-N' Hall C'lirlNinuiN Murlit. The elevator boys' ball at Thurston Hilles' hall Christm.is night was the most signal SUCCCEB In the history of elevator organiza tion in Omaha. The announcement which had been published several days bcforo at tracted a largo crowd of friends of the young men who make it easy for people to get upstairs. It was a merry crowd and everybody was In good Christmas raiment. Many of the social clubs of Omaha sent representatives to the ball. The program consisted of twenty numbers. Ambrose Islington was the master of ceremonies. He performed his part with his characteristic grace. W. R. Cardwcll was Moor manager and his varied cxporlenco as a dancer was fully exor cised. The reception committee was Harry Hrink- ley. Clifford Huntley , Walter Hughes and I 1' . II. Jackson. The success of Ihe ball was largely due to Mr. Ellington , who took charge of Iho arrangemonls from the be ginning of the preliminaries. When at a late hour Ihn orchestra played "Home , Sweet Home , " It was n gladsome Christmas crowd that tripped out of tin.- hall.

Iierr ditllncd to talk for publication , saying that he had engaged an attorney and wcultl therefore allow his counsel to do the talking for him. All of the facts In the | cnso , he sal-1 , would be brought out at the j J trialFrom | From Inquiries made It appears that Tom Conroy and William Hyan rromed In the Hat In the Hunt block , which Is occupied by Dorr and his wife. These roomers came In late somewhat under the Influence of liquor and brought two friends with them. Martin Flaherty wns one of the frlomls and Al Kecnati was I ho oilier. The quartet pro ceeded to have a Rood time and inaile roiif slderable noise , which was not to the liking of Mr. and Mrs. Dorr , wfio were trying to sleep. At the request of his wife Dcrr went to the apartaicnts occupied by Con roy anil Ryan and told them to keep qult. Some harsh words parsed and Flaherty loft. Later on ho returned wid the racket was commenced again , this time out In the hall. Derr again made an effort to enforce quiet .and Ihr result was that he and Kla- , hcrty clinched. Oerr told his frleutls that I ho was afraid Flaherty had a gun and was about to UFO It. So .he let loose with his re volver , firing IIvu shots. Two of the shots look effect In Flaherty's abdomen , while the others.went wild. The shotting IciuH" ! to sober those engaged In the fracas and Flaherty was hastily car ried to his room In the. . Plvonka block , across the btreel. where the police found him a little later. On account of the difficulty In securing n physician at such an hour In the morning Flaherty lay some little lime without medical attendance. Dr. McCrann was finally found and after making a I hasty examination decided that the patient ! should ho removed to a hospital at once j ! ' and arrangements were inado for a trip to St. Joseph's hospital In Omaha. While a conveyance was being secured a priest was called to administer the rites of the church , as It was feared that Flaherty might not stand the chock of removal. Fliiliorly'N llrntli I'rolmlile. Kvury attention is being shown Flaherty at the hospital , but it Is feared that he Is fatally wounded. One of the house physicians staled yesterday that th two bul lets still remained in Flaherty's abdomen , no effort having been made to remove them tn account of the patient's condition. De velopments will bo watched closely anil later on. If it Is thought advisable , the bullets will bo located. Very little , if any , hope of Flaherty's recovery is entertained. Within a few minutes after the shooting Derr was arrested and taken to police head quarters , where he still remains. Conroy atnl Ryan are also held , to be used as wit nesses , If It Is found that they were not closely connected with the shooting. Flaherty had been employed at Cudahy's packing house for sonio time and foiMierly roomed with the Dorrs In the Hunt block. Dcrr .has . been a resident of South Omaha for ten or twelve years and operates a barber shop on N street just west of Twenty-fifth street. He Is a member of the local camp of Modern Woodmen and quite a number of the members of the lodge called at the jail yesterday to see him. While Dcrr seems to regret the affair , he appears confident that he will get out of the I trouble without , much dilllculty. Conroy and Hyan tell about the same I story that Dcrr docs , their accounts dif fering pnly slightly. At llrst the Impression prevailed that Dcrr shot at burglars , but such is not the case. The fact that Flaherty left the Hat once and returned was construed , by Derr to nnean that he had gone to secure ] a weapon of some sort and that Is given 1 as a reason for his haste In shooting. tVyomliiir CnllliCoiiilltIOIIK. . Ill speaking of livestock conditions in Wyoming , J. A. Johnson , one of the best known cattlemen In that section , said yester day : "There will undoubtedly be a marked Im provement In Hie slock marketed from Wy- i omlng next vear , as the herds have been well-trimmed up. All old cows and rough stuff have been disposed cf , thus giving a majority of the herds a thorough cleaning I up. Sirckmcn are arranging for better ! protection against the weather and are fecd- Ing more than formerly. In my opinion | there will bo a great stocklng-up In Wyom ing next year. " Mr. Johnson says that the wnall herd own cr.s all over the state are In a good financial condition and are looking forward lo n prosperous season next year. ClONllIK SlllllOIIN lit .llll There Is some talk of requesting the mayor to Isauo an order closing the saloons at midnight. It Is argued that if this In done the disturbing element will be com pelled to retire more seasonably , and thus the number of fights utid shooting scrapes will be decreased. Quito a number of saloon men have expressed themselves In favor ol closing promptly at midnight , but If such an order Is issued the liquor dealers want it enforced and no favorites shown. The pollen force In too small lo make the rounds of all of the saloons at midnight , but If fie order Is Issued and a few violators arrested and lined It Is thought that those who thow an Inclination to disobey will soon be whipped Into line.

It Is proposed lo continue active work in rnLiltiK funds during the present week and it is probable that the .subscription list will bo kept open until the return of Mrs. haw- ton to this country. It Is not at all improbable that the fund will eventually reach the proportions of $50- i 000. The otlglnal intention wns to raise only a fund sulllclcnl to pay off Mho mon- j gage of about $1D,000 on the Lawton homo- j Mead at Hedlands , Cal. . but the generous i espouse to the appeal encourageii the coni- | mlttee to believe that enough money will i bo subscribed beyond that Mini to place Mrs. hawlon and her children above want for the rest of their lives.

( Correspondence of the Associated Press. ) HACOhOU , Island of Negros , P. I. , Nov. " . The commercial Interests of Negros and Panay arc Identical. Only twenty-five miles of water separate them , and Hello , on Panay. is the shipping port for all products of Negros. Negros Island was first garrlsonoJ by the California volunteers , which regiment was replaced early In July , 1S9S , by the Sixth United States Infantry. Hrlgadler General Smith , formerly colonel of the Callfornlana , is military governor of Nogros and since last July affairs have been advanced rapidly and well under Ills direction. hast July the situation rad two sides , the military and civil. The Sixth infantry had before It the duty of suppressing the In terior mountain bandits as well as the scat tering of the revolutionary party , which wan operating under instructions from Agul- naldo In Luzon. AB to civil matton-i , General Smith had in view the establishment and maintenance of a civil and elective" government , which would ultimately servo to show the other revolting Islands what good things could bo enjoyed under American rule. Negros was selected as the most promising field for this experiment. The mountains of Negros run down Its center and length and between the foothills of this range and the sea there Is a belt of lowlands averaging in width from llvo to twenty miles. On these lowlands are the farina and plantations producing the island's yearly crop of sugar , all of which Is sent to Hello for shipment. In the lowlands are found almost all the Important towns and villages as well : u meat of the roads. This geographljal dis- tiibutlon of low , productive lands on the coast and mountain fastnesses In the in terior was the comfort of the early bandits and marauders and had much to do with making their profession possible and profit able on Negros island. There were always , under Spanish rule , bandits In the m tin- tains , V'ho lived by raiding the valleys , and when wo possessed Negros ihey were part of our heritage from our predecessors.
