Dr. CJerth , the state veterinarian , and
his assistants , have gone down Into Web
ster county to investigate home cnsos of
alleged glanders. A disease of that na
ture is said to bo raging in southwestern
Nebraska , and breeders of horses in that
bcution have called for help in stamping
it out. Heforo starting on this trip Dr.
Gcrth said that the hog cholera oxpori-
nientH at the agricultural college farm
wele progrcsslng very satisfactorily.
The gentlemen intcresledlmvo | succeeded ,
it is claimed , in discovering the trno
cholera germs , and inoculating hogs
with virus furnished by Dr. Pasteur.
Wednesday one of the Inoculated hogs
was killed and found to be suffering
from the disease in a mild form. Having
satisfied themselves that they cnn inocu
late swine at pleasure tint gentlemen
will next try to demonstrate that hogs
Ihlis treated tire fortified against Ihe
cholera ; in other words thnt inoculation
is a. sure preventive.

U is now nearly eighteen years since
Douglas county has hnd n legal cx-ccn-
lion and it must not create general sur
prise if the sheriff and his successor
elect are out of practice in trap spring
ing and that the county has run short of
hanging material. This gr.ue dis
crepancy is forced to notice by an im
pending execution. If the supreme
court dons not interfere , Tom Mallard
will hung shortly for th < i murder of
Ilcliry A crpoortc'n Inst March. Beside
and be.tond this , theio are these who see
in the present moio ripening gallows
fruit but bo that -is it may , Douglas
county hns one sentenced prisoner , at
least , and for his disposal must propnrn-
lions bo made
Omnlia has been a particularly oxcm-
pl.ir.i town in its youthful growth and
even these surviving to-day amongthu
oldest inhabitants have ( icon but little
homp.Mretchlng. Up lo 18o'J ' there
has been two or thrco lynch
ing all'alrs and incc that time thu
law has been allowed to "take
its course. " Tln > remit of tins legal lib
erty has been that out of a score ot atro
cious murders in the past twenty-live
ycar.s , there have been but two execu
tions Tlie lirst of Ihesu WAS in August
of ' ( ! : i , when n certain Cyrus II. Tutor
was hanged for the treacherous killing
of Nano H. Nell' . The expedition with
which this case was disposed of , rellcets
cridilauly on Omaha's early courts.
XelV'.s body , loaded with log chains1 , was
found in tliu river in June ; Tnlor , the
murderer , was caught within a week in
Collav county while pushing overland
'
for Denver ; the trial consumed two
weeks nnd tlio murderer paid the nenalty
three weeks Inter , two months elapsing
between the commisMon of thu
deed and its expiation. Tu
tor was hanged near Sulphur
Springs , about two miles north
ot the city , and the execution was wit-
nested by thousands ot people. The
evidence against him was circumstantial ,
and on the .scaffold he piotustcd his inno
cence to the last.
The second and lust hanging in Oma
ha's history up to dale occurred on HI.
Valentine's day , February 1 Ith , ' ( iy.whon
Ottw.iy G. Baker jiaid the forfeit of Ins
lite for the murder of WooNoy I ) . Hig-
gms , November 21st , ' < > 0. The crime was
a most brutal one and had many sensa
tional attendants. It has been so fre
quently recalled to public memory thut
its dot-ails are well known. Baker was
Imngi d on Capitol hill in the presence of
thousands.
The changes which time hns brought
to the citj nnd the altered customs of 'he '
times have ( "rendered the old scenes of
execution unserviceable for the present.
When the county jail in the mil of the
court house was built , the architect de
signed its main hall as a place of execu
tion. It is sulliciently coincident for
that purpose although ils spiice is re
stricted , but Ihe county authorities do
not intend to use It. Judge Neville con
sidered it unndapted to the purpose and
suggested that tlie execution be made in
the jail yard. There it will undoubtedly
occur. A tall plank enclosure will be
built about the scalVold and only a limit
ed number of spectators admitted. This
is the plan , but no one expects the fence
to stand three minutes against the crowd
unless military arc employed to guard
it. The throngs pouring into tlie
city on the day ot execution , if the day is
permitted to arrive , will exceed the cir
cus day crowds nnd the occasion will not
ling lor wnntot attendance at least.
COUNTY'S JUUNISFIOEN'OK.
Jlslloino for tlio Ailing anil Those Jjoil
Ant ray.
The building ordered some time ago by
the county commissioners to bo erected
on the poor farm for the benefit of hick
and inlirm people , was finished a few
days ago , and yesterday was taken pos
session of for the first time. It is a frame
building , 2-JxM ) feet , and one story high.
It was designed because of the over
crowded condition of tlio other building ,
in which there was an indiscriminate
herding of thu strong as well as the
fcoblo Last.year the ioor house proper
contniiuxd about , fitly five inmates ,
nearly one-half of whom wore confined
to ( lie infirmary. The resolution was
then lormed to build an infirmary which
should bo largo enough to accommodate
all the sick inmates , nud yet leave sulli-
cionl room for those who did not require
medical attendance. In consideration of
this tact , the inliimnry was erected. It
will accommodate Irom twenty-live to
thirty patients and afford them nioro
comiorl than they otherwise would en
joy. The building is a substantial plain
structure , and though | t cost but $ l)7f ) >
it will stand for some time and bo all
that is required of it
In connection with this building is
what is known as the lying-in-hospital or
ward. This will it may in some instances
bo a. necessity , in many more is n crying
shame and a source ot regret to many a
Christian heart. If ( ie inmates of this
institution wore to spuak , to toll the
truth they would batray a wickedness in
this county , which appall most people.
The inmates ot this ward are generally
young girls , seldom out of their teens ,
and jet stamped with the shame which
form or bans them from .society. They
are mostly servant girls who have suc
cumbed to blandishments mid yet asham
ed to make known the name of their
betrayer. They linger in Iho hospital
till they become mothers , and then bestowing -
stowing their illegitimate progony'upon
some party who desires it , start out again
to breast tlie world which only in corners
frowiifiiipon her. These girls come from
city and country and ntt'ord a sad com
mentary upon Iho rigidity with which
their chicfest virtue should be guarded.
Tlie Western Union and I lie M tonic

The Western Union Telegraph com
pany has at last made up its mind to ex
tend its lines to the Union stock yards.
Heretofore it has run only to the station
at that place , thus compelling patrons to
walk or lido quite u distance in order to
send ott'ii telegram When the Pacific
telegraph passed tin ! yards on its way to
the city they extended their wire to the
ollicu adjoining that of tliu secretary in
thu company's building , and slnco thai

The Western Union , however , have at
length been spurred 11)1 ) to follow in their
wake , nnd put its wires into the sauio
place yesterday. It will bo managed by
Fred Gaslin.

A Hotel Ibr Sioux City.
It has been rumored for some lime tlmt
Messrs. Kitchen Brother.- the Pnxton ,
wore desirous of running n largo and
lirst class hotel in Sioux City. Iecently {
(
however , their plans in this direction
havu boon fully developed. Accouling
to a Sioux City paper , Messrs C. W. and
Itiuhnrd Kitchen wore in Sioux City hist
week , and negotiated lor the lease of the
Hubbnrd house , which is at the present
lime Ihe largest hotel in that citj' . It js
their intention , if they can secure this
hostelry , to make a largo addition to it ,
put it through a thorough process of
renovation , and run the establishment
on a lirst class scale. The proprietors
have u 3car and a half lease on the build-
yet , but will probably surrender this lor
a goodlj consideration.
If this project tails through , the citi-
pens have another which they hope to in
duce Messrs. Kitchen Itroa. to adopt.
This is to donate to Ilium a miilnhlo site
with the understanding that a first-class
hotel shall be built thereon. The only
drawback to this scheme is found in tlie
fact that while Siou\ City at present
Trent ly uoods a iirnt-uhi-fts hoi el it cnn
hardly iillbrd lo support two largo ones ,
I'or it i.s to bo presumed that the present
proprietors of the Hubbnrd house would ,
if they saw Kitchen Bros , cntur thu liold.
enlarge and improve their hotel ami
maintain it as a tirst-cluss establishment.

A largo atulienoc gathered in the opera
lioiiMi lii t evening in uttcmlunee tipon
the inuothig called hi the interest of the
LAW and Order Le'i uo.
'J'hc meetiny win culled to order by
James Crclfihton , who .stntcil that lie had
been chosen by the committee to call the
meeting to order. TlioLnw nnd Order
Lenguo if it'M at all required , was
worthy of every man's support. There
were some persons in the town , and
there were p\peiy : also , of whom it had
been nid thnt thoj would try to twist the
minds of the people from the true object
of the organization. Hnt that , they
should not permit , while tiny hml an
opportunity to express I liunisolv us. Tlioy
had a fair city hero , which was nttrnet-
ing to it the worse plasm's from all other
sources. They should , lake the steps to
ward oil' these dangers. It was right ,
therefor * ' , for tlietn to consider mid dis
cuss the objects of the lon"iio to-night.
Mr. II. T. Chirk and John T. Heft were
then elected president and .secretary re
spectively of the meeting.
Mr. Clark said they were there in the
interest of the old , and in the intetv-t of
the young ; of the interest of the lather ,
in the interest of the mother There was
nobody there who would not 1m willing
to lend a helping hand to misled and mi-
guided people to save them from going
lurtlmr astray. There were many in the
liquor business , to-day , who did not want
to lend young men 'astrav. Hut , there
were others who wore heedless in this re
spect. He believed in carrying out the
laws as theyweie on the books , anil , if
they could not be carried outthey .should
be repealed.
Judge Donne said thnt somebody hnd
salil that eternal vigilcnce wns the price
of liberty It wns also true that eternal
vigilunce wns the price of good govern
ment. There were vicious elements in
nil communities , nnd he understood the
object ol Hie meeting wns lo meet that
vicious and hoy-opposing element by
good and law-abiding people. Such a
combination would be more fungible , if
there wore less partisanship , lie was
opposed to partisanship in local polities.
They hnd seen how pnrtHanship had
worked in Now York , when Hint city hail
become corrupt , ! and where men hnd
used powerful- their own selfishness mid
agrnndiremcut. lie wns a party man
and would vole in favor of any party who
should .show that it was in favor ot
law and ordur. This organi/.nlion
hnd grown out of the recent
attempts oj ! certain people to
oppose , nnd certain ollleers lo enforce ,
the liquor lavv. He regretlcd that , in
these investigations , curtain conncilmen
had been discovered lieing themselves lo
a compromise , to break the laws of their
own making. These men should not be
forgotten , and vvhat he regretted was
that they could not bo kicked out of oflice
immediately. ' Ho did not know the
present marshal. All thnt he know of
him was thnt JIB , was endeavoring to en
force the law , null , in doing that , it vyas
the duty of every honest , law abiding
cilixen to stand by him in tlio perform
ance of that duty. If we have bad lavys ,
let us enforce them , as Grant once said ,
nnd get them repealed. He did not be
lieve they had bad laws. The laws regu
lating the sale of liquors were good laws ,
and the time had come for
every good cili/.en to take
sidfs with morality and order.
While there was no proof that there was
any particular necessity lor an organiza
tion which would rise np us one man to
vvijc | out a great crime , the time had
arrived to bland by the law. These men
.should bo remembered at the polls who
had connived nt the violation ot the law ,
and he honed after onu more election
they would nave them no more.
J. T. Moriarty said the welfare of the
social fabric depended upon the making
of sanitary law , and nc\t the enforce
ment of that law. The accomplishment
of the end of law lay in wibo law
energetically enforced. Lnvv came from
the great imisocs of the people. It was
thu sentiment ot' the great public heart ,
and was in unison with thu public-con
science. Now , since law emanates from
that great public opinion , is it not
true that it ' cnn bo m-ido
potential In the enforcement of
law ? If , therefore , fiooiety tie no nils
upon Inw , social evils , which mny exist
in pnr midst , must depend upon the un
reliability of the law or the defective
manner in which it is enforced. Thorn
is no want of law , The mlstcnco , there-
tore , of these evils must be ascribed to
the lack of tlio enforcement of the law.
The remedy lies in the rnmoval of the
lack of enforcing the laws as they exist
Wo hnvo court- ' , judges and policemen.
Some papers say wu ought to nave more
policemen. That may be true. Hut
ought wo not to aid them in their en
f orcemunt of law by n strong , hearty ,
healthy public opinion ? If wo did , we
should see a more wholesome- enforce
ment of the law. When the policemen
and judge know that they are being sus
tained by public opinion they will bo
bolder , and we'll have butter men in thu
city council. The purpose of this organ
ization was to arouse the pub
lic mind to thu power it
may n\oreiso in enforcing laws.
fitjTo him , the idea was a good one , I'ub-
lie opinion cannot bo wrought up to the
idea of doing away with the police and
the ninivhnl , but , if public opinion Mood
behind these olliee.rs , they would do ten
times the work tlmy otherwise migbt do
whore public opinion was lukewarm.

understood that tlio object of the meeting
was to aid the ullieora in enforcing the
Inw. When they mot an olllcer on the
street they should toll him whether he
did his duty well or otherwise. Ho be
lieved Marshal C'ninniings had done his
best with his hiiinll police forco. Hu hml
a force ot twenty men and that force was
too small for a city of 03,000 inhabitants.
The judge ilgnmf that eight and a hull

the marshal by night , as well as by day.
This organisation ought to inllnoneo the

Ho believed every olliccr would do much

was introduced , nnd said it would be un
necessary for him to rehearse the opin
ions he had already cxpressf'tl about the
organization which held its meeting * in
that building. He was not there to
apologise for any points or ren.arks ho
had nindc. He w'ns nlwnjs in the habit
of calling a spade a spade and ho
did not propose to speak other
wise at tiie present or any
other time lie had heard people ,
and , more recently , public ollleials claim
that there should be an immediate in
crease of the police force lie did not
believe in that idea. People wanted to
increase the force , but there is not one
penny in the police fund to assist
in the increase. His idea was tlrst to
decrease the law-breakersaud it would
be of considerable importance But
there was not one penny in the treasury
to increase the force with His idea waste
to reduce the number of law breakers ,
and then tiny could reduce the number
of their police. He did not support per
secution , and would always be louml in
support of those ot law alildiug houses.
Hut he might be asked. How shall we
know that they are law abiding ? He had
been asked this before , especially tt hen
lie oppo ed the granting of license to sell
to those who had miniated the laws. The
record of the police eoutt would show-
that , and if a certain man had been
brought betoro that tribunal several
times in succession reasonable people
would say that such a man should not bo
granted the license that a man did who
always tried to enforce tliu laws.
Higgins had called upon him when
he was about to bo tried and had
asked that ho be given a fair
trial and treatment. The speaker felt
lllco frh ing him both so far as he could.
lliggins said he would have to keep open
because he had expended so much in en
larging and stocking his place that if he
closed up he would lose sj.50 per night.
The speaker said to him , "Take my ad
vice , go home and pay your line It will
cost.vm only a foxy dollars. Plead guilty
to one of thete offenses , and that will be
the end of it. " But lliggins thought
himself and the lawyers would be able to
tight it thiough , and he found out jn l as
1 told him , it would bo a misfortune to
him. Judge Anderson had well enid
that if civil service relorm were ever
necessary , it was among the polioo forco.
The criminal should bo made to fear and
respect them. It they closed up the
saloons , the roost and the disreputable
place * in town these robbers and con-
iiiieneo men would have no harbor
to shelter them and would be compelled
to keep nvyny from town. That , then
was the object of this society , to assist
the authorities in their cnfoiccmcnt of
the law. And they did not know how
'
greatly that unlorc'einent would bo likely
to 1)0 ) antagonized. They did not rend the
Gorman papers , lie sometimes did.
Last night he had read an article in one
of the Omaha Gciman papers of which
he had written a translation which he

was as much diilcroncc between Henry

who make night hideous and intolerable

The ( Ji-cat Wrestler Is Overcome M
liast ) > y Deatb.
About J o'clock , yesterday morning ,
the news was received in the Bin : olliee
that Clarence whistler was dead. The
announcement was so sudden , so uiiev.
peeled that a feeling of iuexptessiblo
sadness overcame many an admirer hero
who had known him in life. Indeed , so
HUilden was it , that , after the first grief
hnd passed away , expressions of doubt
as to the reliability of the announcement
were frequently indulged , The tolegr.un
came to San Francisco as a private
advice , and , as such was transmitted to
the icst of the country. This .strength
ened the disbelicJ in its authenticity , be
cause it did not seem probable that the
death of a wrestler with a world-wide
reputation , should fail to attract the at"
tention of the associated press , especially.
when , but a short time before , the wires
were loaded with the details of , his great
est victory. Be that as it may , the re
port must be believed until it is dis
proved ; and , it it , should happen that
Whistler is still among the living it muy
not be ungrateful to him to learn how
high he stood in the esteem of the sport
ing world.
Omaha sporting men have taken espe
cial interest in the career \Vhisller. \ .
Some of them know it by heart. It was
here ho lir t entered Iho aiena. It was
hero he tir-,1 achieved his triumphs , and
it was Irom here his lame spread through
out the country.
In I87H a wrestler , whoso right name
was Lucien Marks , but win ; travelled un
der tlie name ot Andre Cliristol , came to
this city and challengetl the world , espe
cially Omaha , lo meet him in a Gnoeo-
Homan contest- . There seemed to be no
body who would dare to meet the man ,
and the prospect dawned that no engage
ment could bn cUcclcd. Almost at tin-
last moment Bob Green , who at Ilia I
tune was running a variety on Twelfth ,
near Douglas street , recalled the feats of
stiengtli which Whistler had accom
plished in the U. P. shops , where ho was
employed , and finally induced him , ig
norant as ho was of Ihe business , to meet
"Cliristol " The wrestling look nlnco in
the Academy of Music before a large
audience. The liisl bout resulted in a
fall for Cliristol. The science of the lat
ter surprised \Vhistler \ and aroused him
lo put lorth his strength to overcome it.
In the second and third bouU "Chrislol"
was thrown with ease , and immediately
Whistler became the hero of the hour.
He left oil' Iho pastime of lifting ODD-
pound ear wheels and balancing 1100-
jionnd walking bciins , and took np the
business of wrestling , lie travelled west
and everywhere ainii'/.ed his audiences.
On his return east Billy MeCuno and
Bob Green took him and the genuine
Chrislol ami Miildoon and other athletes
and with them travelled through the
country. One niter another of the great
wrestlers Whistler laid lovQuiglv \ ,
Bibby. Miildoon and : i host of lesser
lights his latest being a contest in Mel
bourne , Australia , where ho threw his
man in eighteen minutes. It is hard to
believe that Whistler is dead. But , if it
be ti lie , it is to his credit that it was
death and death whom he never could
lay out.

tended over the cornice by several inches ,
