Cloos who has been engaged ouccessfullT in the hardware business in Fremont, Nebr. , for years and of Ed Uebling who has been engaged in the banking business at Hooper.Nobr. The pew firm will occupy the build- fiag formerly occupied by Mr. Buck- master nntil they can scenre larger rooms in the new bank building soon to be erected by G. W. Phillipps and others. Mr. Bnckmaster's departure from oar city will be regretted by the many friends he has made here He is not leaving because he dislikes Co lumbus or the business opportunities here hot because be thinks he has in mind a location where a successful business does not require so large a capital. He will remain here about two weeks. The new firm expect to put in a very large and complete stock and do business on a large scale. Such firms will receive a warm welcome to oar city. Large invest ment in any legitimate business con tributes to the prosperity of the whole community. The Journal welcomes the new firm of Cloos and Uehling and takes pleas ure in calling attention to their an nouncement in another part of this paper. Kesisted Arrest. Chief Schack can put up a good "scrap" when he is pushed. John Swallow a Polander living north of Columbus fonnd this our yesterday afternoon when he resisted arrest. John had been in, the city since Mon day and bad keen drikig a little be yond the limit set by the Slocum law. Finally be got into a quarrel with Barney Micek in SouthColumbus, and nearly toro off Barney's shirt in an attempt to lick him. Barney having only one arm was handicapped in the struggle and called for an officer. Chief Schack was soon on tho ground nnd took John beforo tho police judge. Micek refused to file a complaint so the chief filed a complaint of drunk enness. John's wife was in the city and the Chief thbnght she would pay the fine and take him home. But in that he was mistaken. Mrs. Swullow said John got drank every time he came to town and that this time he had been away from home on a two days drank. She said she didn't care if he did go to" jail fhe would never pay any money for him. John insisted that he was not drank and therefore said "not guilty" to the charge. He demonstrated that he was not drank by showing that ho could walk, with many staggerings to Le sure, but witbont "lying down." And here was where Chief Schack 's fun began. John refased to go to jail. The Chief insisted,. John fought and pulled back. A part of the distance Jobn was carried in the brawny arms of tho Chief, bnt he had to go. At nine o'clock this morning he was taken before Police Judge Curtis bv whom he was fined The Daughters of theKing met with Mrs. Carl Johnson Tuesday. Dr. T A.

(Tlmixlay's Dailj ) Following the Hockonberger-Nich-ols wedding yesterday, tho wedding guests had a joyfnl time starting the happy couple on their bridal journey. Train No S was an hour late and Mr. and Mrs. Nichols barricaded them selves in a cab in the middle or the muddy street whither the mob could not go in their wedding finery. They had to content themselves with heav ing rice at long range at Clyde Scott who was driving the cab. When an opportunity was fouud tc storm the fortifications, Mr. Nichols put up such a gallant article of resis tance that the glass door of the cab was brocen and Mr. Nichols' hand was slightly cut by -the glass. Dr Platz was ready with first aid to tho injur ed and the battle proceeded. Having ! spilt blood in defence of his bride, Mr. Nichold boat a retreat from the cab to the train which bad arrived mean time. The fleeing couple were delug ed with rine and pursued by the whole company into tbe car. The colored porter, who in his mine's eye saw himself sweeping up a bushel or two of rice the next morning, declaimed eloquently against the foolishness of wedding parties in general. Another newly weddtil couplo were at tho depot to take tho same train, nnd they wore generously given a share in the cereal distribution, a courtesy which they did not app re- ciate at all. cow bells and other instruments of cc hnrivsri. nntil ther were anneased I Vddiuir feast -SY 3 ' V List.

I iii LIST OF MAY DAY CASUALTIES AT WARSAW INCREASES. SOLDIERS BEGAN THE MASSACRZ Many of the Victims, of Czar's Cos sacks Arc Women and Children. Popular Irritation Not Concealed and More Trouble is Expected. Warsaw, May 3. Tho May day death roll totaled sixty-two, including ten persons who died in tho hospitals during the night. Probably 200 were wounded. Crowds gathered at the Tenth dis trict police station, whero thirty vic tims, men nnd women and three chil oren, were awaiting identification. Sonic minor disturbances occurred in different sections of the city, but co casualties have yet been reported. All day long infantry and cavalry patrolled the streets, which were crowded with people, who did not pare their criticism of what was gen erally termed unnecessary slaughter. The popular irritation could not be concealed. The soldiers evidently were nervous and open outbreaks, re mitting in a repetition of Monday's terrible scenes, were only averted by the evident desire of tho authorities to prevent a clash, coupled with the ftnr inspired by the soldiers' bullets. The population is most bitter against tbe military and government officials expect many attempts at revenge on the officers, all of whom are known. The workmen at all the factories have -struck and great efforts are be ing made to bring about a genera! strike, but this is not likely to be suc cessful. The people have not recov ered from the exhaustion and losses resulting from the last strike. Re ports conflict regarding the beginning of Monday's encounter In Jerusalem street. According to the most gen erally accepted version the authorities had forbidden workingmen marching in proccssicn to carry red flags, but the workmen, however, decided to ignore the order. When the proces sion reached Jerusalem street tho po lice ordered the workmen to stop, but they refused to do so and a police of ficer thereupon fired a revolver, giving a signal for the infantry to fire. It appears that in other cases the demon strators were the aggressors, but that in this instance the soldiers fired first. The industrial population is deeply exasperated over the sanguinary re mits of tho encounters.

(Saturday's Daily) The performance of the city council last night while for the most part of a business character, lino ugh of the spectacular in it to hold the breathless attention of tho audience till the curtain was rung down at' midnight. Tbe spectacular acts of the council began with the appearance of two Co lumbus saloon keepers to whom City Attorney Cornelius read tho liquor law and declared the temperament of the city council iu tones not soon to be forgotten and closed with a iithct io scene in which was vividly portray ed tbe death struggles of tho Colum bus Telegram in its lost battlo for tho city printing. Intermediate between these acts 60iue vdti.ou.s of South Columbus appeared ami asked tho eity council to abolish certain licensed houses in the city. The only featnre lacking to prop erly roand off the performance was the absence of Edgar Howard and Hubert Barrnss. There is a wide spread suspicion that they wero in secret meeting somewhere fixing np a joint bid for tho city printing Tho session of tho council lasted threo hours nnd a great amount of im portant as well ns routine business was disposed of. Skornpa nnd Valasek appeared be fore the council in response to an in vitation' to explain some trouble that occurred in front of their saloon one night last week. Mr. Cornelius oondncted the examination and ho used some very plain English. Among other things he said, "tho council does aot propose to bo trounted with many more complaints about saloon keepers selling to drunkards. These complaints against yon will bo thor oughly investigated, nud your license will be revoked itrshort order if yon fail to observe tho law nud the coun cil's instructions". Fred Scholz nlso appeared to ex plain the fight which occured in his saloon last week iu which Dick Sief kon played a part and was fined. W. D. Benson, Al Duncan and C. A. Beardsley appeared in person nnd complained of tho two "houses" south of tho track. They said that the piano music and dancing at. all hoars of tbe night, and the uso of indecent language by tho people who patronize those places as they pass along the streets, exert an evil in fluence on their families, which as taxpayers they felt they had right to resist. Councilman Chirk said that the citizens of that part cfCoIumbns paid taxes the same as other people and that their homos should have the same protection. No action was tafcon on the complaint becausu it was not made in writing. It was understood that the complainants would file a written complaint before the next meeting of tho council asking to have tbecse places closed. A petition signed by Jacob Glur and fifteen others nsking to havo an old barn and other obsti'uctnins re moved from block i'3 was referred to the proper committee. W.W. Whittaker was awarded tho contract for street springing at s".0 for the year. Applications of tho Commercial Na tional and the Columbus State Ranks for the city funds according to ordin ance were accoptod and tho banks directed to file bonus in the sum of 115,000 each to protect said deposits. Dray bonds of Thos. McTaggart, Geo. T. Michener llcnry bip and Albert Giger were approved, al-o tin bonds of water commissioner and policemen. On motion another policeman was voted to serve from noon till mid night, subject to tho direction ot the chief of police. Tho council voten 3'..j to bo used to pay tho judginenr and costB in the 21 Street case. The city nttornoy was directed by tbe council to draw an ordinance to regulate pool balls. The council granted tho request of L. G. Zinnecker to move his bnrhorM shop oast on Olivo street during tho construction of his new building which he thouht would be completed in six weeks. Councilman Gray called attention to the importance of insisting on the strist enforcement of .lie ordinance which i elates to Mmlitv and width of sidewalks. 111; positiou was sec onded by othersi He called attention to tho far reaching effect on tho city's future of permitting cheap an 1 care less work. This qne.-diou was perhaps the most important of the session. Just before the council adjourned, Councilman Gni-en got tho floor and read a resolution naming the Co lumbus Telegram as the official paper of the city to be paid for advertising 50 per cent of th b-gal rate, and pro poseing that the city job work be awarded to the lowest local bidder. The Jonrnal had called attention last week to the fact that tho former Tele gram resolution calied for not only the legal advertising, but nlso the job work of the city as a part of the "spoils." The flreiten resolution last night recognized the point raised by the Jonrnal. by separating tho ad- vertisng from tho job work. It wa? evidently thought that this concession would trap councilman Clark, who it was known, favored placing the print ing on a business basis. But u didn't work. Clark. Gray and Galley stood together and on motion of Galley, amended the Greisen resolution so that it required the soliciting of bids for both the advertising and the job work. Greisen, Dietrichs nnd Zinnecker voted for the Telegram but Mayor Dickinson decided against them. Thus died the Telegram's GOOD utraigthforwnrd, honest business motuads aro bound to win.

Tho three defeat ed councilmen accepted their defeat good natnredly and they will doubt less join the other members in giving the printing to tho lowest and best bidder. It matters little, however, what course they take. Even if there should bo no official paper, tho print ing will go to tho best bidder and Councilmen Galley, Clark and Gray will ho credited by tho citizens of Co lumbus for, tho signal victory they have won in favor of a non-part iean administration of the city's buinness.

There is a fund that wo know how to sympathio with. e e - Of course we don't mean to draw any inferences from it, but every day as we amble homewards wo iass two parsonages, side by side, occupied by two ministers of tho gospel : ana there is a high, tight board fence bo tween thom. Why should this ba tuns? J House cleaning is a nuisance and mosquitoes are a nuisance and side cats are a nuisance nnd other peoples twins nro a nuisance, and thero aro others. But it is our conviction that tho biggest nuisance on earth is tho old familiar form of theological dispu tation, to-wit : on ono sido a profesror of philosophy who comes homo from it German university and announces that ho has investigated tho mater and finds tho fnct to bo that our old favor ites, such as infant damnation, eternal torment, fort ordination, etc., etc., aro all mistakes nothing in if.
