lowing letter regaiding the law and his view
of action :
To Messrs. Howard U. Smith. George I.
Gilbert. L. M. llennett and Christian Hart-
nun , Omaha , Nebraska. My Dear Sirs :
Tlio following is an extract from the law
creating the Omaha charter :
Section its. In each city of tlio metropoli
tan class there shall bo a board ot lire and
police to consist of the mayor ( who shall be
cx-ofilclochairman of said board ) and tour
electors of said city , to bo appointed by tno
governor. The governor snail appoint as
the commissioners above four cltl/.ens , not
more than two of whom shall bo ot the same
political party , and two of them , of different
political faith and aMegience , shall be desig
nated In their appointments , to serve for two
years , and the other two , also of different
political party faith , shall bo designated to
servo for four years ; and thereafter , at the
expiration of said term , and each period of
two years , the governor shall appoint two
members of said board. For olllcial miscon
duct the governor may remove any
of said commissioners ; and all vacancies
or removal shal bo lilled by the governor for
the unexplrcd term , and all vacancies from
whatever cause shall bo so tilled ; that not
moro than two ot the members of said board
shall bo of the same political party , or so re
puted. All powers and duties connected
with , and Incident to , the appointment , re
moval , government and discipline of the of-
fleets and members of the lire and police de
partment of tlio city under such rules and
regulations as may bo prescribed by ordi
nance shall bo vested In and exorcised by
Raid board. "
Under the authority thus granted you have
been appointed lire and police commissioners
for the city of Omaiia. You , In conjunction
with thu mayor , will constitute the boatd.
Thu power to appoint and remove tlio com
missioners , taken In connection with tlw
sworn duty of the governor , to see that the
laws bo lalthtully executed , plainly implies
that his duty and intcicst in the matter
Bhould not cease with the selection of the
commissioners. At least , I so Interpret It.
Jt will not , therefore , bo out of place for mete
to present some views and suggestions which
will , without doubt , com mend themselves to
your judgment.
It Is generally admitted that there Is a
pressing necessity for a complete and most
thorough renovation and reorganization of
the police department of your city. To ttie
working out of this purpose It now becomes
your duty to devote yourselves.
Recently I passed live days In Omaha
listening to what every ono had to say who
desired to converse with mo In reference to
appointments and police affairs , making ob
servations , taking notes and learning every
thing 1 could bearing on the subject. I
traversed various streets , road around the
suburbs on two evenings , and from Thurs
day evening till Monday forenoon I saw but
ono policeman , and he did not seem to bo on
duty. Inquiring of various persons , "Where
are the police. 1 see none ? " the answer caino
Irom eleven different reputable citizens , "if
you will look Into the saloons and gambling
nouses you will tind them. " A physician In
formed mo that , going homo about 9 o'clock
recently , hn found a man Inside his fence ,
lying on the ground a few steps troui his
door , drunk. Ho wont up and down the
street looking for a policeman without find
ing any till he entered a saloon and there
found one. The papers have reported Ire-
qucnt cases of persons being "held up" while
returning from business to their homes In the
early evening , and ot burglars entering and
ransacking dwellings.
In my walki around the city towards evenIng -
Ing I observed gatherings of persons upon
certain street corners , which I should desig
nate loatini ! corners , through which ladles
could elbow their way only with much dlfll-
culty. 1 saw ono lady take her Httlo girl
and step on" the sidewalk Into
the street to go around the crowd
and In doing so a team came along In close
Proximity to the child , and the lady saved It
from harm by quickly drawing It one sldo.
1 looked around for a policeman , but none
was In night. All these outrages and evils ,
nnd kindred ones , must be brought to an
end. The Inhabitants of the city are taxed
t' support a police , and the police must be
what It Is designed to bo a protection to the
peoplo. They have a right to demand this.
Tno plain intent and meaning of the law
Is , that there shall bo a non-partisan police.
1 have compiled with the law In selecting
two from each ot the great political parties.
From this tlmo on , in any action which I
mar have to take , and In my consultations
with the commissioners , I shall know no
politics , and I shall expect you to bo gov
erned by the same rule. Any attempt to re
ward partisans would bo regarded by me as
"ofllcial misconduct. " No ono should bo
made an ofllcer or member of the police force
ns a reward for political service , or to pay
any political debt. The only points to be-
considered should bo the Integrity , the abll'
Ity , tno Intelligence and the fitness of tlio
one proposed. No ono should bo appointed
unless his habits are entirely above reproach.
No man who has been accustomed to hang
mound saloons and gambling places or low
dives , and no ono unless he bo strictly tom-
pcrntc , should bo placed upon the foice.
The city will , of course , be laid oil into
regular beats , and rules and regulations will
bo adopted by you. The members of the
police force should bo thoroughly Informed
nnd Instructed as to their duties. They
should bo under as thorough and complete
discipline as If they belonged to the United
States army. They should Inform thcmsovefl
ns rapidly as possible as to different localities
and places of business , so that they can Im
part Information to all who may seek It.
They should answer all questions In a cour
teous , respectful manner. Their deportment
should be such at all times that every person
will instinctively fool that the policemen arc
gentlemen and are their protectors. Thcli
power should be exercised with firmness , but
never In a brutal or Inhuman manner. II
any otllcer or member ot the force neglect *
his duty , or Is olT his beat , or enters a saloon
whllo on duty , except In the performance ol
au official duty , should bo Immediately dls
charged ,
Gentlemen , there must bo a thoroughly or
tranlzed. a thoroughly clllcient , am
thoroughly controlled police department it
the city of Omaha. It must bo made safci foi
any peaceably disposed citizens to walk tin
streets at any hour of the night If duty so re
quires. And the uccomplishmcnt of till :
purpose now devolves upon you. 1 think
know the good people of your city wel
enough to justify me In saying that 1 knov
you will have the heaity encouragement am
support of all in this woik. And you wll
know also that , at all times , you will have al
the power and influence of the state exrcu
live to sustain you. Very respectfully ,
JOIIN M. TIIAYKK ,
Governor ,

of ruins. A strong wind had blown all night ,
and at the tlmo of tlio lira It was blowing
southwest , but changrd to northwest whllo
the fire was burning. At ono tlmo It was
thought the southern portion of the town
would alt be burned , and goods were hastily
moved Into the street. The Inmates of the
Iturns house barely escaped with their
lives and such aitlcles as they could
carry In their arms. The lire spiead
so lapidly that the employes lost all their ef
fects , in many cases escaping but half
rlothcd. A bricado was formed and tlio
buildings m-ar protected. A market belong
ing to F. K. Glllott across the stieot was
burned with the fixtures. It was a very
cloin call for the town ,
Whllo this lire was In progress another
stalled In the west end of town In the bottling
tling works of T. U. Lcp.sas , the fire almost
cutting off hi * escape fioni the building In
which ho was asleep. The works were very
complete and are a great loss to the town ,
The Hums liouso was owned by J. F.
Hums , ono of the pioneers of town , and the
furniture owned by J. M. Hrackett , tlio land
lord , and valued at about 80.000. The Insur
ance on tlm building was 82,500 ; on the fur
niture , 31,500. The bottllnir works were val
ued at 81,000 : Insured for S750. The spring
term of the district court begins hero to-mor-

Uailly Scorched.
HoMmr.m : , Neb. , May 8. [ Special tclo-
gram to the DEE. ] A lire broke out this
morning about 7 o'clock In Klnsol's building
on West avenue , formerly occupied by N. J.
Chcslino as an Implement house. The fuo
was not discovered until It had so far con
sumed the building that it could not bo saved.
From this the lire soon spread to other build
ings. The wind was blowing from the north
and it was soon discovered that all the build
ings In the block must go. The buildings
burned were a dwelling , Kinsel's building ,
where the lire originated ; W. O. Smith's
music emporium , Moore Bros. , billiard hall ,
McWinquest's merchant tailor establish
ment , Shenebergrr's * Wagner's hardware
store , and John Same's meat market. The
aggregate loss Is S2oOO with about S1.200 In
surance. The Commercial state bank block ,
belonging to Klnsel Bros. , was damaged to
the extent of 31,000. All the plate class was
broken by the boat and the cornlco melted
away. The tire is supposed to bo the woik
of an Incendiary.

they claim will bo a benefit to all raisers o
cattle and herders of beet. It Is not mean
that all the killing and packing shall b <

speedy admission Into the American union.
The people in my trade ncioss the border

many other things. Wo are greatly dissalls-
ged with our present position as a British
dependency. Suppose the mother country

our Atlantic and 1'acllic coasts are
greatly oxposed. Wo might bo

It Is a secret society in that its meeting aio

WASHINGTON , May 8. fSpecial Telegram
to the HEE.I The now bank in Now York
with which Mr. C. F. Jordan , treasurer of the
United States , is to bo connected Is to begin
business on Tuesday. It is expected that the
resident will endeavor to accommodate Mr.
Jordan by selecting Ills successor in time to
allow Mr. Jordan tlmo to assume Ills new
ilutics this week. It Is understood that the
president has authorized him to select a
proper man as his own successor , and that
Mr. Jordan has chosen Mr. John M. Hyatt ,
the national bank examiner for Connecticut
and llhodo Island. Mr. Jordan said to-day
that lie thought that Mr. Hyatt would make
an excellent treasurer If ho could bo
Induced to accept the place , but
that he does not seem at all anxious to take
It. Mr. Hyatt arrived hero last night and is
quartered at the Arlington , where ex-Senator
Barmim is also stopping. The ex-senator
is understood to bo warmly In favor of the
appointment and it Is reported that ho is
trying to Induce his protege to accept the of-
lice if it is tendered him by the president to
morrow , as It probably will be. Mr. Hyatt
has the strongest Kind of endorsements from
tlio bankers and the business men of New
Kngland , and his appointment would doubt
less irlve general satisfaction to nil parties
Inteiested. Air. Jordan cannot leave his
post until his successor tiles his bonds , as ho

Coleman to-day said : "I was misunderstood
In regard to the word 'carcasses. ' I said it

house committees on agriculture that fat
not carcasses of horses , dogs and

bear witness. 1 also said , and I reaffirm it ,
that no chemist nobody can tell whether
fats used in the manufacture of oleo or oleo
margarine were taken from animals which
were slaughtered or from animals which had
died. I have written to Armour & Co. , of

\\eck has been spent In a long range news
paper duel between the Moscow Clazetto , oth
erwise Katkotf plus an uncertain amount of
the czar of Russia ; the 1'ejter Lloyd , speak
ing for Count Andrassy , and the Noith
German Gazette , the ofllcial paper of the for
eign olllce. Through these papers many Irri
tating statements were made , which , In the
nature of things , could only como from dip
lomats , yet of a typo which diplomacy , un
aided by newspapers , would have to
leave unsaid. Germany proved , despite
denials , that Austria twelve years ago at
tempted to divide Tuikey with Kussla , but
without mentioning the matter to Germany ,
though Germany was then and slnco was ,
according to the Get man point ot view , Rus
sia's firmest friend. KathotT replies that he
docs not believe all this. Ho would hate
Germany lust the same anyway. The Pester
Lloyd whines fiercely that some ono seems to
bo lying , as Austria never meant anything.
These sort of answois and counter-answers
came first In a summary by telegraph , then
post , so that each day's issue of the Combat
ants contains n qiuurcl in all the stages
of its progress. What is most
amusing in all the discussion
is that after the air has been thus cleared an
Idea Is gained of the strength of the hand
each nation holds. Then diplomacy will
gravely disavow the olllcial nature of the
newspaper statements.
Several other articles have attracted much
attention , notably one headed "Why War ? "
In the Kreuz Xoltiuic , a very able review of
the situation , but show Ing the conviction
tiiat war must come. Following this were
several articles on dynamite , interesting
mainly because showing how vigorously but
continuously tlio experiment with high
power explosives is being carried on by all
Europe.

A I'umous STOKM.
Throughout Germany the Herald storm
played havoc this week. Hailstones of the
size of lien's eggs stripped the fruit trees of
buds and made things generally uncomfort

church was Hooded until the altar floated
away. IP another place lightning burned a
barn with 300 sheep , cows , horses , etc. In
Beilln wo escaped with a heavy wind storm
which did no damage beyond breaking off
many tree brandies.
This is ono sign of spring. Another Is
that the bcattles with the swans have begun
in the vaiious lakes and streams near lierlln.
Ono boat full of picnickers was set upon by
a swan which used its wings to such advan
tage that it drove the party away from Its

Constitutional Imw Cranks.
Dns MOINES , la. , May 8. [ Special to the
BEK.I Iowa is getting f.imous for its slash
ing away at constitutional questions on
slight provocation. Whether this bn because
of an Impression that tlio supreme law of the
state was put together very hastily , and that
legislators didn't know what they wore doing
when they made the laws , or because theio
are an unusually largo number of largo
headed attorneys who feel competent to In
struct the courts on anything that may come
up Is not altogether appaieut. But for some
reason it has como to pass that now-a-days
when an attorney finds some trifling obstacle
lu his way , like an ordinary statue , ho pro
ceeds Immediately to stand up In a chair and
( I eel are that statute unconstitutional. That
was the way the attorneys for the saloons
disposed of the original prohibitory amend
ment. They have attacked the now supple
mentary prohibitory laws In the same way
from a dozen sides. They have bombarded
nearly every Important statute of recent
enactment with the same constitutional am
munition , and now they have laid selgo to
the law reorganizing the district courts. The
defeated circuit judges who were legislated
out of olllce have decided In their own
minds that the act was unconstitu
tional , and they have brought suit
to recover their salailos for the full
terms for which they were elected. Some
body down In Mahnska county the other day
fell into the clutches of the district court ,
and seeing no otticr way of escaping , has
boldly declared tlio district com t an uncon
stitutional body , and he asks the supreme
court to have him teleased lor that reason.
His objection to this tribunal Is based on the
tact that It now by act ot the last general as
sembly has three judges , while the original
provision of the constitution , way back at
the organization o f the state , arranged for
only one. On this ground ho has brought
suit before the supreme court , and It is ex
pected that this august body-wilt toss off a
decision at tlio Juno term on this new un
constitutional question. The supreme court
has had the constitutional question fired at it
so often that it isn't filgntenod it bit when
seine legal luminary gravely informs it that
the law ot the land is unconstitutional. A
teimof court without that announcement
would bo a novelty.
AltHOIl DAY'S OIiSEKVATION.
Arbor day was cclsbratcd t ha past week
very generally throughout Iowa. It was the
first time for many years that this good cus
tom has had anything like general and o I ti
dal recognition. At a mooting ot a number
of cltl/.ons the exercises took on a public
character of great Interest and included ad
dresses from the representative men ot the
place. Ono pleasant feature of the day was
the planting of trees to the name and mem -
ory of distinguished statesmen. In some
instances names of American poets were
perpetuated In this way , and children grow
ing up with the trees will always have be
fore thorn pleasant suggestions of America's
roll of greatness. Arbor day promises to boone
ono of the popular Institutions of the future
In Iowa.
AN ATIII.KTIC CIIAZE.
There seems to bo a general revival of In
terest in athletic sports this year throughout
the state. Base ball at the capital has become
a perfect craze. Business and protcsslonal
man drop everything to attend the games and
the Interest in the result is not confined to
this city alone. In a number of the county
seats within a radius of thirty-iivo or forty
miles thu games hero are bulletined , being
telephoned by Innings from this city. Next
to base ball , boating ( staking a good share of
public attention , Clubs are actively at work
In Des Molnes , Davenport , Cedar llaplds ,
Keokuk and Ottuimva preparing lor tlio an
nual regatta of the State Rowing association ,
which will bo held at Spirit Lake July 10 and
20. The list of entries Includes lor the lirst
day a junior slnslo , junior double , junior
pair , junior tour and a gig crow. The second

Special arrangements tor reduced rates have
been made with the railroads , and It is ex
pected that great crowds will be drawn to the
most beautiful locnlity In Iowa.

General Hosser , tlio &x-Uebel cavalry officer
who has leaped into a temporary notoriety
by his attack upon General Sheridan , has
stirred up an Iowa man , who renders some
very pertinent remarks. General llossor
complains of Sheridan's ride through the
Shenandoah valley as a brutal outrage upon
the people living there. The Iowa man , Mr.
W. 11. II. Lancaster , who lives a tow miles
west ot this city , writes to
tlm papers that ho was
a military telegraph operator at New Creek
station in West Virginia at the time that the
Kcbel Kosserand his cavalry raided that sec
tion , "in company with a number of other
Unionists , soldiers and civilians , " says Mr.
Lancaster , "I was completely robbed of
money , watches , clothing and all other valu
ables stripped from head to foot , marched
acioss tlio country to Staunton almost naked ,
barefooted and hungry , laid out nlghtt on
the cold , wet ground three and one-half
months in Castle. Thunder , and am still suf
fering from neuralgia and rheumatism con

chivalrous treatment received from Hosser
and his crowd of freebooters , who now com
plains of Sheridan and asks that ho bo boy

the Shenandoah valley. The old veteran's
rise up In the most unexpected places , to ram

STATIC TEACJIEHS
The State Music Teachers' association
have just rlosod their annual meeting at
Grinnell. Tills Is ono of the youngest of
the state associations and tills was Its second
meeting. The attendance was large , the In
terest lively and the spirit of tlio meeting
energetic and piogresslve. Whatever the
difficulty about members of a church choir
being together in peace and unity , no such
trouble seenii to have existed among the
music teachers. Despite the rivalries and jeal
ousies of a Jealous profession , the members
at the Grinnell convention worked together
very harmoniously for the interests of their
organization and the advancement ot the
cause of higher musical culture. The con
certs given by the members showed thai
Iowa has a good deal of musical talenl
among Its Instructors and their woik Is nol
simply theoretical. The coming musical
event of the state Is the May music festival
which begins in this city the 17th lust. Five
grand concerts will bo given , In which a
.chorus of nearly 300 voices and leading
soloist1 * of tlio northwest will participate.
Excursion trains will run and visitors from
all parts of the state are expected. The
whole undertaking is under the direction of
the Philharmonic society of this city , whlcl
proposes to make Its annual music festiva
as great nu event for Iowa as similar festi
vals in St. Louis and Cincinnati are for the
states in which they are situated.
A OIIF.AT UNDERTAKING.
Since It has become the thing for trades
and professions to organize and co-operate
together , what moro natural than that the
undertakers should do the same. ' 1 hey have
now a state organization and they have
adopted the euphonious title of "Funeral Di
lectors" as a little less suggestive of grave
and disagreeable duties than "undertakers. *
So the "Funeral Directors" will hold thcl
Annual meeting In this city May 25 and 20
There are COO "funeral directors" In Iowa
and It Is expected that a largo number o

volcanic activity from ono end of Mexico to
the other.
LAREDO , Tex. , May 8. Passengers arriv

over which the aggregate deficiency of dally

thereby reducing the deficiency lu tempera

slight , ranging Irom 1 to II inches In th

10 Inches In the upper Mississippi valley. The
only regions showing an excess of pi eel pit a ,
tlon for the season aio as follows : Northern

southern Missouri , thus in a measure allo- '
vating the drouth previously existing In these
sections. In the western poitionsof New'
York nnd Pennsylvania and In northern ;
Ohio the lainlall ( or the week has served to
Increase the excess of rainfall already re
ported In these sections. It will thus be seen
that the season to date In thcso sections of
country has been about as follows : In ,
the grain regions of tlio north' !
It Has been comparatively cold and
dry ; In the cotton ifglons , tlio lowest'
of Georgia , warm and usually dry ; In the
cotton and rice regions on the South Atlantic
coast , cold and comparatively dry ; In tlio
tobacco regions , in Virginia and North Care *
Una , cold nnd dry ; In tobacco regions. In
Kentucky , Tennessee and Pennsylvania , Hie
weather has been warm with the ralnfaH
slightly less than usual except In northern
Kentucky , where the rain full was slightly in
excess.
From reports received It appears that the ,
metorological conditions of tun past weolc
have had the effect of rapidly advancing the
season In those sections where It had bfeii
previously retarded.
