Think In "Noiiic-
Tllflt I'criioiiiil,"
Ucun Campbell Fair of Trinity cathedral
will not conduct religious services In tho
JJougluH county Jail Hgaln (or some moons.
Hu had an experience thero last Sunday
a(ternoon--now made public (or tho first
time that will linger In his memory with
the tenacity ot a politician in a civil serv
ice Job.
Thoro will bo no wondering as to tho
dean's reluctance to coutlnuo soul-saving
work nt tho Jail when what happened at
last Sunday's services becomes generally
known. Thoro was mutiny In the congre
ttatlon and It cndeJ with a volley of oaths,
u pummolliiR of faces, a Hash of revolvers
and n spattering of blood,
Ah U oustonmry on Sundays, the prisoners
were brought tOBothor In tho lower cage o(
tho west wlmj of the Jail at 1 o'clock to
hear tho gospel spoken and to Bine praises,
tjenn Fair was thero to conduct tho service?
and tho congregation vn all attention. In
fact, thero wan a little too much attention.
When tho good preacher began to dis
course upon tlin punishment that tho laws
of Rod and man provldo (or sinners thero
was a murmur of dlnscut, and when ho ex
plained that nil dinners must be truly peni
tent to come within tho favor of their Maker
(he prisoners began to shift about uneasily,
llriiu'n 11 11 1 ii Talk,
What starti'd tho trouble, however, was
tho ilean's suggestion that it would require
a pretty thorough Immersion In 'tho blood
of Immaniiel to wash away tho sins of his
auditors. This suggestion sent moBt all
of the prisoners back to their cells and
they refused to como out and hear the
sermon through.
Dean Fair, nothing daunted by tho do
sortlon of a, large part of his congregation,
continued to tho end of what ho had to
nay and then asked the boys to Join In
singing n hymn. Tho dean read two verses,
as follows;
There Is n fountain illlei with blood
Drawn from ImmnnuePH veliiK,
Ami Hlnnrra plunged beneath that flood
Lose all their guilty Mains.
Tho dying thief rejoiced to see
That fountain In Ills day,
And there may 1, though vile as he,
Wash all my sins away.
"Now, brothcis," said tho good minister,
"you will plenso nil Join In the singing."
Thu dean and a couplo of women mlrslon
workers began to sing, but they were Joined
by only one ol the prisoners, all tho others
having declared a boycott on tho servlcea.
The lone singer In prison gnrh was John
EHUon, nnd' he was roughly leered by his
pals.
On through Jeers and cat-calls tho
preacher, the women and tho one prisoner
gavo good o!co to tho first vorse of tho
hymn. When they reached the first lino of
the aecoml verse a storm was Imminent and
It broke before the verso was flnlshoJ.
Tho dying thlet rejoiced to sco
i That fountain In his day,
Aim thuie may 1, though vile
Singer F.lllaon got no further. Just as ho
utlcied tlie word "vllo" big Joo Conrad, a
federal- prisoner, thought tho hymn was
gulling somewhat personal and ho gavo
lSUl.sun, a .Jolt on the Jaw with a heavy
right uriuVswIhg.. -KliTsou was staggered for
a muiiioni, ud then roturncd tho blow. Tho
two men proceeded to pound each other's
fuoo Into a pulp, na thu women screamed
and tho dean retreated to Iho Jail office.
Jailer McUlcucghon Jumped Into thu arena
with his revolver In hand and used the butt
end of It to beat tho belligerents Into sub
mission to his command for them to tako
their corners.
ConraJ and Ellison were separated, but
not in til both had spilled considerable
blood. They were promptly locked In soli
tary eellt, where thoy were kept on bread
and wator until yesterday morning.

Regarding tho rocent report sent from
Washington in relation to tho efforts of
Kansas City to secure tho hcaduuarters of
the Department of the Missouri, fJcneral
Mandcrson, who for many years was nt tho
head of the committee on military affairs
In tho United States senate and who was
Instrumental In scouring the location of
Fort Crook at the present site, said:
"There Is Ilttlo probability of any change
being mado In this department, for during
my time In tho sonato tho Nebraska dclega
tlon In congress saw to It that thero was
placed around Omnha many things which
would tend to keep tho headquarters hero
forever. Some criticism has been offered
recently In regard to tho location ot Fort
Crook nt Its present site and tho abandon
ment of Fort Omaha. At tho time Fort
Crook was established It was a question as
to whother Omaha would have nny of tho
posts or departmental headquarters. Gen
crnl Sheridan was then In command of tho
army. Fort Omaha was getting Into a
dilapidated condition nnd needed repnlrs.
had a conference with tho general nnd he
said that ho would not recommend tho ex
pendlture of n dollar on Fort Omaha, as It
would soon hnvc to bo abandoned; that tho
reservation for military posts should con
sist of several hundred acres to glvo the
soldiers an opportunity for target practice
with tho long rango guns, without endan
gcrlng the lives of citizens. For this reason
I started tho movement for the location of
Fort Ciook
"At the same tltno several hundred thou
fsndj of dollars were expended in tho do
vclopment of the government corral from a
place of tumblcd-down shacks to a modern
supply depot. In the first bill which was
Introduced for tho erection of tho now post-
oftlco and custom house building It
was provided that tho old building should
be set asldo to thu War department tis
hendqunrtors for this department. Now that
tho War department has all of Its Invest
ments tore I do not think It probable that
there will he any removal.
"This attempt Is but a revival of former
efforts on the part of Kansas City. Thoy
failed beforo nnd their efforts only brought
to public attention the advantages ot Omaha
as a placo for tho headqurters. At differ
cnt times fieneral Shrrman. General Sherl
dan. Ocneral Crook and other commanders
of the army and of tho department havo ex
pressed their opinion on this subject, and
It has Invariably been that Omaha was tho
proper place for the headquarters. These
olllcers havo referred to the goographlc.il
location and to tho railroad facilities as
being better suited to tho use of tho do
partr.ieut than those of any other city
within Its borders. With these opinions
In tho minds of army officers I do -not think
a change will be made."
GENERAL SUPPLY POINT
Uninlin to neeomc Source of Supply
for Troop All Over the
World.
For tho first time slnco Its establishment
the depot ot the United States army at
Omnha Is to becomo n general supply point
for tho army. This action was tnken ns
tho result of a conference between Colonel
Pullman, quartermaster general ot the de
partmcnt, and General Ludlngton, qunrter
mastcr general ot the army, during the lat-
tor's recent visit to this city.
For some tlmo the army has been piling
up a large number of quartermaster stores
In the cast. The maintenance of armies In
tropical countries has brought about a rev
olutlon In the matter of uniforms and
equipment of officers nnd men. Tho army
In tho northern countries 1mh to bo warmly
clothed, while the efforts of the quarter
master's department Is turned to securing
the coolest posslblo clothing for thoso in
the tropics. This means that when troops
In the United States aro ordered to service
In the Philippines or In Cuba an entire
change has to bo made In their equipment
other thnn nrras, and the old clothing and
equipment havo to bo stored. This has
crowded tho usual depots of tho army, and
In nil cities where such depots have been
maintained tho government has rented
bouses for storage purposes.
Tho War department was looking around
for empty buildings In cities where depots
were established and was not very success
ful In securing whnt It desired. Colonel
Pullman was advised of this condition when
ho came to Omabn and ns soon as ho ar
rived ho examined tho condition of the de
partmental dopot nt tho corral. Hero ho
found about U.0,000 cubic feet ot empty
space nnd Immediately reported tho condi
tion to headquarters.
When General Ludlngton came to tho city
the colonel took tho matter up with him,
with the result that Instructions were sent
to Omnha to make tho departmental dopot
a distributing depot for tho nrmy. Infor
mation has been received that there aro
now enroute. from Philadelphia and other
eastern cities largo quantities of blankets
and clothing for the Omaha depot. When
received they will bo stored nnd Issued to
the different departments ns required, A
large part will bo shlpprd to tho Philip
pines, while others will go to Alaska.

Impossible to get Tho Abbott In condition
for the race with Cresccus at lirighton
Dcnch In August and tho race has been de
clared off. This match was ono of tho ruodt-
talked-of events In turf circles for years.
Tho Abbott and Cresceus were matched to
go a mllo for a purso of $12,000, best three
In flvo heats, at the Seaside meeting of the
New York Trotting association on tho
lirighton Ilcach track. Owing to a recent
attack of distemper The Abbott will not bo

match race, and although tho failure to
bring off this rnce will bo a great disap
pointment to the public, nt the same time,
In Justice to tho horse, Gcors has decided
not to start hlin, but as The Abbott Is ngsln
taking work regularly ho will probably be
enabled to 1111 his later engagements.
On August 15 Cresccus will go an exhibi
tion mile nt lirighton Ileach to beat the.
world's record now held by The Abb'.'tt,
and on August IT he will go for the wagon

ILLINOIS CENTRAL'S PLANS
It Is PushliiK Consolldntlon Scheme
with View to Getting More
Northern Trnllle.
ST PAUL, Minn., July 25 The Pioneer
Press tomorrow will say: Private advices
recelvod yesterday by a St. Paul man from
reliable New York sources aro to tho ef
fect that the frequently reported consoli
dation of tho Minneapolis & St. Louis and
tho Iowa Central with tho Illinois Cen
tral Is actually under way and In pros
pect of early culmination.
The plan Is for tho transfer of the Iowa
Central to tho Minneapolis & St. Louis upon
a basis of nn exchange of one share ot
Minneapolis & St Louis common for two
shares of Iowa Central, consolidating the
two IIucb ana paving the way for tho trans
fer of the Minneapolis k St. Louis to the
Illinois Central by a similar exchange, yet
to bo ngreed upon.
The Illinois Central made a tender sov
oral months ngo for tho control of tho
Minneapolis & St. Louis alone, but the
negotiations resulted In nn ultimatum from
tho Interests that own tho rond, which nlso
control the Iowa Central, that both roads
must bo taken In or neither could bo so
cured, The Illinois Central Is now ne
gotiating on that basis. Their absorption
will give tho Illinois Central a direct line
betweon Chicago and St. Paul, another be
tween St. Paul and Omaha and will placo
It In a position to obtain traffic of Im
mense value from tho Great Northern and
Northern Pacific.
1'relitlit ltntei Disrupted,
Western freight rates havo gone to pieces
again. St. Paul Is tho center of tho dis
turbance and flour Is the commodity that
Is most seriously affected, It was discovered
that the ferry routes across Lake Michigan
were getting all tho St. Paul-Chicago busi
ness, The all-rail lines decided to protect
themselves and slashed the rates to meet
the competition, The all-rail lines any the
companies which mnke part ot the haul by
water aro responsible for tho slashing and
the water routes lay tho blame on the all
rail lines for the trouole. An effort Is be
ing made to rebtdro rates, but It Is not
likely thnt an agreement will be secured
before the close of the lake season.
CliteiiKo (irent Western,
The Chicago Great Western road may

LONDON, July 20. "Tho rumor as to

vaded tho House of Commons for some
days," says the Dally Express, "has taken
tho more definite form that Kmpcror Wil
liam U soon to assume the rolo of peace
maker. Mr. Kruger and his advisers arc
represented as having empowered the kaiser
to act for the lloers, and he Is considered
willing to take tho Initiative In order to

people, who disapprove his frlcndsshlp for

Mr. Kruger's arrival at Tho Hague Is

the rumored peace suggestions.
OPPOSE KOCJfS NEW IDEA
I'nrl Spencer L'rRrn thnt There Is I)nn-
grr front Cnttle with Tuber
culosis, LONDON, July 25. Presiding nt this aft
crnoon's session of the Hrltlsh Congress of
Tuberculosis, Earl Spencer, chnncellor of
tho Victoria university nnd n vice prcsl
dent of tho congress, severely criticised
Dr. rtobert Koch's theory to the effect that
human beings were Immune from contagion
from tuberculous cattle. Earl Spencer said
ho hoped this wore true, but ho hoped more
that the dlesemlnctlon of such views would
not tend to cause laxity on the part of the
dulrymen and cattle owners or less vigi
lance by tho authorities charged with pro
tecting tho consumers ot milk.
Tho speaker earnestly trusted the con
gress would not endorse the view that It
was unnecessary to tako measures to pro-
vent tho transmission of tuberculosis from
animals to humans.
Prof. John MacFadycan of tho Royal
Veterinary college read a paper on tubcrole
bacilli ln milk as a source of tuberculosis
In man. He said that until Dr. Koch had
declared himself In this connection to the
contrary It was supposed to havo been
fully proved that human and bovine tuber
culosls were Identical diseases.
Prof. MacFadyean dlscuseed the ground
upon which Dr. Koch based his belief, con
tending that they were either not well
founded or had ilttlo bearing upon tho
question, and he submitted arguments to
prove the strongest grounds rcmnlned for
regarding milk from tuberculosis cows ns
distinctly dangerous to human beings.
Dr. Havenel of Philadelphia gave an In
stance of the Infection of ten persons from
tuberculosis cattle, but said ho considered
euch Instances to be rare.
James King, a veterinary Inspector of
London, speaking before the congress, at
tributcd the largo Increase In the Imported
meat trade to the rigid inspection ot home
killed cattlo and said a meat salesman as
surcd hlra thut the loescs from condemned
carcasses were so great that the Ilrltlsh
dealers were forced to buy Imported meat,
Mr. King dissented flatly from Dr. Koch's
belief ln tho nontransmlMlon of bovine
tuberculosis to humans, and urged the adop-
tion ot stringent measures in this rcsnect
to insure the hcalthfulnesa of imported car
casses. He also urged a government com
pensation for cattle destroyed under Its
orders, In order thoroughly to stamp out
tuberculosis from Hrltlsh herds, where, ho
ucciarcu, it was alarmingly prevalent.
King Edward received tho foreign dele
gates to the Hrltlsh Congress on Tubercu
losis nt Marlborough house this afternoon
His majesty briefly expressed his keen in
terest In tho cougress and his hopes of
iruurui results therefrom.

Preparations for Conclave.
ROME, July 25 Although the pope Is In
excellent health, the feeling prevails at
the Vatican that a meeting ot the college of
cardinals can not be far oft and thero Is no
secret that the cnndldntcs to the papacy
are making- elaborato preparations for this
conclave.
One of the chlet characteristics ot the
next conclave, according to a high prolate,
will be the largo number of candidates for
the cbalr of St. Peter, whereas, after tho
death of Plus IX there wore only three
candidates whose chances for the papacy
wero serious. Those who ore well Informed
anticipate a deadlock, and the ultimate se
lection of an outsldor who has not yet boen
mentioned.
