Hew Hardware-
The .Tonrnal has another itnportaut
business change to annonnce this week.
The new hardware stock of O. J.
Buckmaster on Thirteenth street has
beenNsold to the firm of Cloos and
Uehling who took possession yester
day. The new firm is composed of
John J. 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

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

.Vedding Frolics.
(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.

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. The strikes
inaugurated on a large scale here, at
jtny. and in other cities are rapidly
spreading and 75.000 persons are on

Cty Council.
(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

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

COJUM BINES.
Tho state treasurer reports that
there is iu tho general fund of the
State of Nebrabka tho sum of livo
cents. There is a fund that wo know
how to sympathio with.

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. And on
tho other bide tumo goml preacher who
thinks wo should tako literally every
v.'oni if thoFO old Hubruw sacred
poems which havn been translated in
to literal English to form tho Old Tes
tament. Thcsn discussions always
remind us of those six blind men of
Ir.itostan who went to see the elepliau;.
What these learned theologians would
bo reminded of If they should think of
us. wo don't know.
