Tlic gpiiornl tlit'ino of conversation on
the streets yesterday vns the
article published in Titnsdny night's
Jii ) : ; fi'oiiporninK Fire Cliluf
Butler and Iho building inspection fees.
In nil fiiiurlur.3 .surprise at Iho revelations
therein nindo WHS uxprussod.and in sonio
instances ihu surprise was mingled with
incredulity.
Chief Hntlor himself appeared to be
very union nstoiiNhiitl , and when rip
proaelied by his friends on the matter ,
denounced the tirlielo as outrageously
fuho. tliruatoninj ; to sue. the Htifor : : libel ,
etc , , etc. lie \s'as liiltsmoweil by the ro-
portcr.s of the two morning papers , mid
to them made some very queer statements
indeed. To ono reporter , after denounc
ing the Hii's : article , ho .said : "Tlieold
la.v empowered me to hold the money
collected , subject to their order , and to
keep an account of receipts tindc.xpendi-
lures. 1 had a report to make and sent it
in annually , usually in April. 1 reported
lust year that I had on hand about $70
and this - \ ear my report .showed that I
had in the neighborhood of $200. 1 have
issued no permits since Inspector Whit-
lock was appointed. The money I re
ceived I stand ready to turn over at Hie
call of the council , t must say though ,
that I looked upon the money as mine ,
and did not expect this council to call for
it. 1 hn\c Kept n horse and buggy at my
own expense to do the city's business. 1
have now about $1100 altogether , as near
ns 1 can recollect , and my reports are in
the council and the books will show
everything N regular.
To another reporter his admissions
were virtually the same.
In other words Mr. Butler docs not
don > that he received the money and that
lie failed to turn it over to the treasurer ,
but cays that he. held it for the city. ( This
with the mysterious proviso , 'I looked
upon the money as mine and did not ex-
pict ; the city to call for it' . ) In admitting
this he practically substantiated all that
tli BII : : stated Tuesday evening.
The only defense that Mr.Hntler makes
it will be noticed , is bitseil upon the state
ment that he kept a earciul record of all
monies received from I lie issuance of
building nermits and hail reported tlio
Kiime to the city council , lie stated that
hifl report in 188 , " ) .showed , ibout0 on
hand , and his report in 1S8G showed the
city council that ho had about i00 ! on
Land.
The fact is that Iho report for 1SSO
allows nothing of the kind. It was sub
mitted to the council in April anil is now
in the city clerk's ollice. It was exam
ined bv u number of peri-ons [ yesterday -
among others a representative of the Bur.
but was found to contain not one word
about the $ CUU in accumulated fees. The
report for 1885 could not bo seen , for the
bimple reason that Butler had come to
the clerk's ollice anil carried it oft" . It
may contain the item of building inspec
tion fees , or , like the 18Si ( report , it may
not , despite Butler's emphatic assertions
to the contrary. At any rate it is cer
tain that Butler lias collected these foes ,
lias failed to turn them over , and for the
last year , at least , has made no report
ihoroof either to the city council in his
annual statement , or to any other
nllicial.
A member of the lire and water works
commltteelsaidyestcrday : "Why , Butler
virtually admits that ho has pocketed
that money. He even has the gall to
claim that it rightly belonged to him.
Unsays that ho has frequently to go oil'
conventions and meetings of that sort ,
anil ought lo be allowed this .sum for his
trouble. The fact is whenever ho does
go to any of the conventions his expenses
are always paid by the council and he
travels on railroad parses. Ho knew
well enough that that money belonged to
the general fund and his talk about hold
ing it for the city is all bosh. The city
council never knew anything about this
money , or it would have ordered it turned
into the treasury long ago. "
A. YOUTUKULi SCAI'KGOAT.
A. Twelve-Vcnr-Oltl Hey Arrested for
Ilorso Stealing.
For some time past the authorities
have boon on the lookout for a twelve-
year-old scapegrace , Isaac Hanson by
name , who stole a horse in Harlan , Shol-
i > 3' county , Iowa , anil brought it to this
( s.ty. Ho was not approhcndcdjuntil yes
terday. Deputy Sherill' Wyland ,
ot Harlan , arrived in Omaha
Tuesday night , Band scoured
the services of Constable Kdgorton to
boll ) him in the search. The latter lost
no time in unraveling the mystery , and
ntj5o'cloekycstorilay ; | moin'mg ho had wor
ked the matter | so that he was enabled
to ofl'oct the arrest of young Hanson.
The youthful horscthiof was found at the
residence of a half-sister on South Tenth
street , He was at once arrested , and
with the stolen animal was taken back to
Harlan. JIo will probably bo
sent to tlio reform school. Ho
was very cool nml calm when taken into
Custody , and could not have been morn
30 if he were a hardened criminal. He
only expressed regret at being taken
from Omaha , because , IVB hu said , "I
don't believe I'll get buck hero very
soon again , "
The boy claims that the owner of the
horse , u farmer by the name of Is , J.
1'ulfor , told him that ho might take the
horse. Ho came direct , to Omaha with
the animal and disposed of it to a local
borse buyer. His brother-in-law , with
\vliom he was stopping , feared that some
thing was wrong , and returned the
money to the purenabor , taking back the
liorso.
THIS JIOMK mcriis
hich IjortVostoi-lny | Morning
for San Frnnclsoo.
yesterday morning two Pullman sleep-
era the Ktna and Denver , wore attached to
the 8,10 west-bound passenger train on
the U. & M. They were intended for tlio
G. A. 11. delegates and comrades who
were going to San Krnnciseo. The num
ber of these men , however , who took pos
session of them , was insignificant com
pared with that which had been expected.
The reason assigned for this is that many
ef the delegates and friends will meet the
train at Lincoln , while n number of those
from this section and the northward will
ao this evening by the Union 1'ucilic.
Those who took souls in the cur were A.
Alleo of this city , delcgate-al-lurge lo the

Omaha , but he had made n prior engage
ment to attend nnd speak at n cnmpliro
which was held last night at Sowartl.
which is on the line between Grand

The cars were devoid ot ornamenta
tion. There was not even a miniature

sleepers , and the departure lacked the
element ot entlni'-iaeni which lias char
acterised the passing through this city of
the thousands of veterans who have kept
the roads busy for many days.

K. D. Pratt : "I son somebody has been
tellingyon big tilings about the cost of
things thirty or forty years ago , as com
pared with the piesent time. You
needn't be surprised at the rate ijl.iil )
for a barrel of eider , because I've
made and Mild it as low as that and
carted it seven miles to the man I hail
inndu it for. It seems strange , no doubt ,
to think that there was n living in such a
stnte of nllhlrs in those days , but there
was , notwithstanding. "
dcorije Ifdmroils "Tho attack of the
Sunday morninir republican paper upon
Carl S > : lmris uncalled-for and unjust.
It will do no good to the paper. A num
ber of Germans have taken ollonse at the
article because they know it was untrue.
Carl Scliui7. never took or bought prop
erty for which ho did not pay. lie may
not always have been a strict party man ,
but than I believe he was honest in every
thing ho did. But the fact of his having
voted against the party of which he w.is
once one of the leading members , i.s but
a very poor reason why ho should bo vili-
lied and abused. "
Judge SeMcn : "I don't think Slicrilt
Coburn has any right to appoint a deputy
sheriff to protect Paul's saloon. It is an
encouragement to the rough elements to
congregate there on Sunday and destroy
the peace of the neighborhood. That
place ought to be lull alone until the
people break it up. ll is now a nuisance.
The owner has no license to sell liquors ,
and it is further violating the law by sejl-
ing whiskey or beer on Sunday. I am in\
favor of enforcing tlio law nnd with this
place also. "
TO THE OKttHKCH'1 DRUIDS.
A Society of Intelligence niut Benev
olence In its Third Vein- .
Douglas Grove of the Ancient Ortlcr of
Diuids will give a grand picnic at Motz's
garden on the 10th of next month. This
society is now rapidly on the increase in
incmborship. The "grove" hero has a
membership of titty nnd although it has
been working quietly , it has at
the same lime been strengthening
itself in a most satisfactory
manner. It is allied to the order of
Druids all over the country which has
about 7,000 members. The Druids of old
wore the best educated of the times , nnd
from them were selected the jurists , the
the scientists nnd the religions preachers
of the day. The same idea forms tlio order
at the present time , in that by means of
its support , ono of the best educational
institutions in the country is enabled to
turn out yearly some of the most thor
oughly educated young men in the coun
try. This institution is situated in
New York and has been in n
nourishing condition for six years ,
In connection with this idea of the so
ciety there are also the benefits of the
weekly sums of ? G to members while sick ,
nnd iJ-UO to the family in the event of a
member's death , nnd an insurance , of
§ 1,000 at the same time , which costs
about ; ? ! I n year , or an assessment per
member of ijl.10 for every death through
out the country. The "ollicers of the
Douglas Grove are August Bohnc , dis
trict deputy ; Gcbhardt Mcsmer , noble
arch ; Jos Sandhoefner , under nreli ;
Jacob Hubn treasurer ; David Sel.y secretary -
rotary ; George Andes , inner guard , and
O. Uhle outer guard.

the bcction foreman at IJlkhorn , staling
that Bled had commenced work for him
on the morning of May 15 nml hail

proves Mori's alibi , and will secure his
release when called for a preliminary ex

A Stntenmnt lYom Koliert V
CwoAGo.Jul.v 27. To the Editor of the
BEK : A copy of your issue of last Thurs
day containing nn nrticlo referring to
the unbrotherly relations existing among
the Ylcrlintrs nnd charging fraud directly
upon me has just conic to my notice. I
regret exceedingly that you did not in
vestigate before publishing tlio charges
contained In that article , feeling conn-
dent that had you done so they would
not have found n pln o in your pnper. It
seems strange that yon would give such
publicity to charges nll'eoting business
men prominently Identified with Omaha
enterprise on the faith of statements
made by ono unknown in Omnhn nnd m
no way connected with her interests.
I greatly deprecate the discussion of
family nllairs in public print and hail
this publication been made in Chicago
where I he business standing of all par
lies is known and recognized , I would
have passed It by unnoticed ; in Omaha
ills dilVcrent , the feelings ami interests
of others are imolvcd with my own and
I thereforetlesire tlio privilege of repelling
any and every imputation of fraudulent
dealings with my brother Frank in any
manner , shape or form. I have for him
no nnbrotherly feeling , and have at all
times treated him with the utmost kind
ness and courtesy. In business matters
1 have dealt with him honestly , openly
nnd fairly. I am not disposed to try in a
newspaper the action ho has instituted in
Chicago. I prefer to leave that to the
court which lie himself his selected for
that purpose , fully sutislied as 1 am lhal
I can show to bo founded on nothing
more substantial than family jealousy ,
which will litul no place nor encourage
ment in a court of justice.
I never urged him to take an interest
in tin1 business of Viorling , McDowell < \ ;
LV , nor did 1 represent the doalh of Mr.
Smith , n former partner , as a .special act
if providence that he might strengthen
Ins interest with the tirm , and such lalk
is sheerest nonsense.
He bought Mr. Smith's interest without
any inducement whatever , nnd paid
therefor ? 3,000. Eight months afterward
im soltl out this interest voluntarily for
? ! ) ,875. - \ profit of ! ? 87in > eight months ,
n addition to sums paid him for what
line nnd attention he gave to the busi
ness of tlio firm through his brother
Louis , his representative- never at
uiy time put into the business of Vicr-
ing , McDowell & Co. any other sum or
sums of money , save the sum of $3,100
which ho advanced as lirst payment on
certain lots purchased oy him in trust for
.he use of the linn , which sum was soon
thereafter paid him with 7 uer cent inter-
i.it. The title to the lots in question was
; aken m t'.ie name of my brother , upon
.11 y suggestion , because" 1 then had con-
iilence in him. This confidence ho
ibiibcd by repudiating his trust and re
fusing lo convey the property to the linn
for utmost a year , thug placing mo in a
most embarrassing position as between
mo and the. other members of Viorling.
McDowell & Co. Hu lias now no inter
est in the business of that company and
uid never lost nor was defrauded of one
dollar by reason of his connection with
.lie linn ; on the contrary , connection
therewith was proiitnblo to him while it
continued.
Jt seems to ma that a claim mads by
ho shrewdest and oldest member of his
'amiH that he was Iraudulontly induced
: o part with his interest ina _ linn lo the
jook.s and business of which ho had free
access carries contradiction on its face.
I fail to appreciate the force of his
charge that ho has been swindled put of
: ho monev invested in the Paxtgn & Vier-
ling iron" works , when he admits pay-
inent to him of the purchase price ol his
interest in tlio Viorling , McDowell &Co. ,
ami in his complaint asks that ho be al
lowed lo repay llio amount and receive
again his interesl , thus acknowledging
that Vierling , McDowell it Co. are not in
any way indebted to him. The assertion
that I am using any of bis money in Iho
Paxlon & Vierling iron works or che-
where is without any foundation what
ever. IOHIUT { : VnutUNi ; ,

Strny Leaves From a Kuporter's
Note-Boole.
"The railroad crossing is positively the
most dangerous in the United States , " ho
remarked lo a fellow uasjsenger as they
stood on the network of rails on South
Tenth street near the depot.
"Yes , " assented the other , ' 'I don't
know bill that It is. "
"The facl is"conlinucd tlio first speak
er , "a gootl many people are surprised
that no serious ncculcnls hnvo so far oc
curred on Iho crossing. It is a mailer
for no wonder. Do you know why there
have been so few accidents here ? Xo ?
Well. I'll tell yon. Simply because Iho
place is so dangerous. The most care
less are instantly put on their caution
when making the crossing. If it were
less dangerous llioro would bo more no-
cidenls. "
A very large percentage of the crimi
nals arraigned in police court are men
arrested for wife beating. Judge Sten-
berg is not nt all inclined to bo lenient
with this class of prisoners. The consequence
quence is that they generally receive the
full limit of the law. The husband is
always repentant though ho occasionally
tries to throw the bulk of the blame upon
his wifo. The latter occasionally meekly
admits that she ought to share the blame
with her liege lord/ / but more frequently
will iloliuntTy assort that hu is u brute
who ought lo bo punished lo tlio full
limit of Iho law
Judge Slcnbcrg called a very tough
old Lancashire Englishman before him
the other day , to answer to the charge of
wife-boating. The case was clearly
against the old follow , and ho was con
victed. As ho paid his line , ho remarked ,
sourly ; "Aw'tl lolKo to kmvw wet kind of
bloody laws you ave in this Humonca.
Hin good of Ilingland , a nion can beat
his wolfe has much has 'c loikes , "
"I do not believe , " said a popular
druggist to a reporter who was question
ing him the other day , "that there are
live respectable woman in the city of
Omaha who smoke cigarettes , Some
pcoulo have an idea that the habit of
cigarette smoKing prevails widely among
the ladies of the upper classes. That is
all bosh so fur as this city is concerned.
No lady would make a practice of such
a disgusting habit , even in secret. To bo
sure , home curious girl may try to smoke
ono of tlio "paper cigars" just "foi fun"
to sue how it goes , but she will rarely try
itlmoro than once , Yes , among women
of the "lower strata" the habit U widely
prevalent. "
"I read an item in tlio BHE the other
night , " said an old-time newspaper man ,
ubout u man finding his wife at the depot
after he had seen the item lii the BEI : . " It
reminded mo of a little incident by which
I was taught tha valiio of newspaper ad
vertising. 1 was doing local work oa a
country dally once , and in my haunter-
ings found the Imndsonic&t coach dog a
man over laid oycs on. I have always
been partial to this class of canines , and
as the animal w.is especially handsome , 1
determined to pos.-e.s ? him. I caught him ,
sneaked through alleys and finally land
ed my pn/.o in tlio sanctum , where I tied
him to the leg of Iho editorial table ,
1 had only buyn in the oHice a few min
utes when a man walked in and au
uouncu.U tiiut Ue wuutcil to adycrliso lor

quietly resting linden tire table , recog
nized nls master ami noon nrido himself
known , The result wns ( hat the man got
his dog and I got n 1-Mhntis , n lesson on
the value of advcrtlslngi"
" 1 don't knon Why it is , " said a vet
eran who left for San LVnneisco yesterday
morning , "but it is , nevertheless , n fact ,
that Omaha Is ono of . tlio poorest places
in Iho world to take an interest in G. A.
11. matters. She has nominally two
posts of lhal order , but ono of them is
almost inane. Longngo she could have
had Hie department reunion of soldiers ,
which would have brought her thousands
of dollars , nml yet shu has never aspired
to secure it , while every little city in the
state has been reaching for it. There
i.s scarcelv n town that does not .send ns
many to visit iho reunion ns Omaha does
with her 70,000 people. At Hastings , at
Fremont , at Beatrice this was the case ,
and here , when eastern states urn sending
car loads to San Francisco , all that the
half of Nebraska north of ihe Tnion Pa
cific road sends is less than a do/on men.
If you can tell mo the cause of it , 1 should
greatly HKO to hoar it. "
The special car "Francisco , " of A. N.
Towns of the Central Pacific , is at the
Union Pacific depot waiting for a party

The universal popularity of Mrs. John
A. Logan is a household word among all
these who pay the least attention to
national social events. Especially docs
she reign supreme in Washington , but it
mailers little where she is , or with what
party , or under what circumstances , Mrs.
Logan is by common consent the queen.
While In Omaha the other day , Colonel
Hopkins , who had charpo of the Illinois
tourists' , appeared at General Logan's
car with an armful of railroad papers.
On seeing him some of the ladies ex
claimed :
"Don't lot him in ! He's a book
ngont ! "
"Neveryou mind , " said Mrs. Logan ;
"treat him with the utmost kindness.
The general's gel a number of booic
igonm out now and he depends n great
deal on their work. "
This stally at the circulation of General
Logan's ' book was understood at once ,
and the whole party , including the gen
eral himself , enjoyed a hearty laugh.
