Marshal Mahonoy's Action All That

Knoukotil Tin : Female *
Itlcyclc itaue.
There was a motley assemblage at Ger-
mania Ifpll , South Omaha , last night. The
occasion of this heterogeneous convocation of
gentlemen , lawyers , doctors , brokers and
fiport'i won nf quiet little mill between Jack
Davis , Omaha's champion heavyweight
jrtliiflu'r , 'and III Anders , a dangling , disJointed - -
Jointed , mlBslmiien aspirant fortlstio honors , ]
from Kansas City. t
Tlio cards said that the light was for nj
pnrso of $5 < x ) and 7. " , and IK per cent of the
gate , to a llnlsh , Qiiccnsbtiry rules , and the
nmittUwt glovi-s that could bo successfully
palmed ofTupon the lynx-eyed police as com-
Jng within the proscription of tlio law.
Thev weighed two ounces each.
The crowd was on blind early , but it was
nftor HI o'clock before there were any real
H.vmpfoins of a collision between the two
above mentioned gladiators
D.ivw was on lianil at 7 o'ciocic ami HOUIKI
tinloop hr ono of the wine rooms , below tlio
ball , but the Kansas City man did not , show
up until such a late hour that the crowd be
gan to kick and threaten to return to tlio
'i'hov had consumed tlio most of the pro
prietor's uico Warm beer , fresh from the
More , and wandered aimlessly about amidst
blinding clouds of cheap tobacco smoke until
patience ceased to be a virtue. At last , however -
over , Mr. Anders put In an appearance and
preparations for the assumption of immedi
ate hostilities begun without delay.
Pat O'Haru , after the usual wrangle , was
agreed upon us referee , mid Professor Kd
Miller and Charlie Uoss appointed timekeep
ers.
Anders was the first to shy his castor , tak
ing his aunt In the southeast corner of the foot
ring , with Jimmy Lindsay and Dwlght IJyun
behind him. The redoubtable Davis followed
quickly , and throwing off their sweaters the
two iiu'ii .stood ready for the combat. Davis
was esquired by Jack Kyim and Hilly Haw-
ley.Davis
Davis , with his splendid torso , stocky legs
and prominent muscles , looked the very pict
ure of a model lighter , while Anders , with
his orang outmig anatomical construction , np-
jionrod as if ho wished that ho was far away
from the busy scene. Ho wits n whipped man
before ho lelt his chair.
' Shake hands , gentlemen,1' commanded the
referee , mid then came the ominous "Time ! "
The two pugilists sparred a moment for an
opening , Davis forcing his lanky adversary
back against the ropes , then feinting with his
left , ho swung viciously for the Missourlan's
swan-like neck , missing , however , his calcu
lations , fur Anders countered smoothly , and
catc'hing Jack in the jaw , mudo him see the
Ursa Major , and all the little bears , mid came
within an ace of sending him to the oak.
Tliis looked like business.
Kvcrybody saidVro : goin' to see n
light. "
Hut everybody was never more mistaken in
their lives.
Davis came back like a mad bull , his eyes
ciirruscatliig like a serpent's , and his mus
cles fairly dancing a ma/urka under his pink
cuticle. He rushed tit Anders and it was biff
with the left and bang with the right , in the
Jowl and in the breadbasket , mid nn oppor
tune clinch was all that saved the Kansas
f'itv ' gentleman from going through the sky
light.
The referee broke the clinging ivy-vines ,
but Jack allowed his cadaverous oppo'iient no
time to recuperate. IIo was at htm again
lllco a Louisville tornado , and it was smash
right and left for n moment , then another
cum ji in wiucii .Aiiucra
, . mil some
pueril' ) llbbing. Separated again. Hut
bnok comes Davis , and this time
his honey-inontgoniery lodges with such em
phasis against Hi's Jugular that ho goes to the
Jloor with a sickening thud.
"Ono , two , three , lour , live , " tolls oft' the
referee. Then Anders raises himself on hands
audiences. "Six , seven , eight. " He is on
his feet Ho lifts his hands heroically , but
ineffectually , for Davis breaks down his feeble
guard-and smash , again ho gets it in that
jwcr iiamlyzcd jaw , and through the ropes ho
goes us if lie hud been kicked there by a gov
ernment mule.
Marshal Mahoney at this juncture Jumped
ii'tn the ring , and declared himself. "Tliis
light stops right hero , " said ho. "If another
blow b struck I'll arrest the whole oiitlit. "
There was confusion now throughout the
hall. Anders'
seconds were frantically en
deavoring to lift him to his feet , and linally
.succeeded , and planting him in his chair , were
preparing to launch him into the ring again ,
when the referee exclaimed :
"Gentlemen this light has been fairly won
by Jack Davis , and 1 award it to him. "
jvAiid the crowd broke tumiiltuously from
the hall , like a Hock of sheep through u hole
la the fence.
The Hlcycle Unco.
The great six day bicycle race for the fe
male championship of America and a $500
nurse commenced last night at the Coliseum
promptly at ! ! 0 mid
: , was witnessed by sev
eral hundred people. Nearly all the faces of
the contestants were familiar , Miss Nelson
and Miss O'Brien ' the
being only strangorst emi
mi Omaha audience. The other contestants
wo.ro Miss Lewis , Miss Baldwin and Miss
AVilliams.
Hlaok seemed to IH > the favorite color of the
CvV.clists. Miss Williams was attired in tliis
Kombro color throughout , with the execution
01 ner cup. wnicn was siripeu witn made and
white. The funeral blackness of Miss
O'Hrlen'ss\iit \ was relieved with a white sash.
Miss Haldwln were a jet suit with a red ,
white and blue silk siush. Miss Lewis was
the cynosure of all eyes with her suit of
bright colors , consisting of pink tights with
cap ami sash to match and a bright , given
colored jacket. Miss Nelson were a jet col
ored suit with it yellow silk sailor collar and
Hash.
Hash.The
The occasion was enlivened by the strains
of the Sixth ward band.
Miss Williams was the only rider in splen
did condition , and she started into the race
with the evident Intention of winning. She
Hiiceoeded In the mamiillcent achievement of
beating the world's record among ludv
bicyclists , making forty-two miles and eight
hips iiv thrco hours , the best record ever made
liy any female cyclist being but forty-two
miles la that time.
Miss llaldwin and Miss O'Hrien had ar
rived la the city from Portland. Ore. , only a
few hours before the race , ami were some-
M'hat travel worn. Nevertheless they showed
conslderablo endurance and pluck and gave
\Villiumxnhurd rub. The llrst half of
the evening Williams tried unavallingly to
get ahead of O'Hrien's wheel and the atten
tion of the spectators was directed unduly to
„ them. They rode at a wonderful speed and
the enthusiasm of the persons present found
vent In constant outbursts of upplunso. In
the last lap of the twenty-llrst milo Miss
AVilliams linally buceoedod In sending her
wheel ahead of her eomiiotltor , and Iho cheer
that went up nearly raised tlio roof. Miss
O'llrlen bent to her wheel , however ,
mid kept it within two feet , of the
invisible ttpokes of Miss William * '
bicycle for nearly live miles. In the tli'th in n
* ( if the twenty-eighth mile Miss Williams let
all her latent powers loose , mid after almost
u superhuman ciTort she managed to gain a
> lap on bur plucky rival. The enthusiasm of
. the spectators over the llnal advantage of the
/ homo competitor know no bounds , but all ml-
mired tuo grit of Miss O'llrlen. In the last
hip of the thirty-llfth mile. Miss Williams
again passed her rival for the honors of this
hemisphere , and chagrin and fatigue began
to tell on Miss O'Uricn. At tne
end of the fourth lap of the thlity-
hlxth milo she attempted to alight
from her < whcel , but fell In a dead faint. For
a time there was considerable uneasiness over
her condition , and meanwhile Miss Williams
-bent all her enurgloa to improve the oppor
tunity. Six tlmos the Omaha girl girdled
the oblong circle and Miss O'llrlen , who had
ivfovvivd coiisclousuotis , looked lu alarm at
the speeding wheel of her antagonist. She
.ugaln mounted her bicycle and attempted to
win the ground lost , but the effort proved too
nmt'li for her , and despite her bout effort *
Wllllunu passed her continually until she
I larked but one lap of being two miles ahead.
I The frail Jooklng .Miss Hald win displayed
herwonaerfnljKJwci'sof sp\rtlng \ | a number
I of times and shot away from Williams like
i an arrow when hard pressed by that rider.
i I'll fortunately aim had to leave the track a
number of tftnos.
ICurly in the evening the wheels of Mlw
LcwU and -Miss Nelnoti clashed and both
riders fell hcnvllv to the floor. They were
unable to enter the nice again for a quarter

ScnniM'.ii , Neb. , April 'Jl. [ Special to Tin :
Uii.j : : The Logan Valley Farmers' associa
tion held it rousing meeting hero Saturday
evening , between four hundred and live
hundred people being present. Represent
atives from Cumlng and other counties were
in attendance. The speaker of the evening ,
Hon. Philip Andres of Omaha , was intro
duced by the president ami spoke us follows :
"Fellow Uitixens l am glad to see ino
funnel's of Dodge county following the ex
ample sot by their bretlicni everywhere in
tills western country , to get together and or-
ganl/o for the advancement of their Interests
and thi ! protection of their rights. Questions
of grave importance , as they come to you
from time to time , will again confront you
tliis coming fall ; the question of freight
rates will again bo brought before tlio
legislative body of this state , and the wrongs
and grievances under which the' farming in
terest suffers , to be Judiciously adjusted both
to our interest mid that of the railroads.
While I believe that the law should hold rail
roads as commerce carriers strictly to ac
count , and punish any extortion mid dis
crimination , 1 do not believe in the enactment
of any laws that tend to harass and cripple
the railroads. I understand that the condition
of the railroads of the country at this very
hour is in a greater choatio' state than at any
time before , owing to the nmnijiulntyon of the
railroad wreckers that plv their vocation in
Wall street , New York. That practice ought
to be declared ti felony , bvcallKd it prevents
railroads from settlingdowntostrict business
principles. I further mnllitaiif that a satis
factory solution of the transportation'ijues -
tion can never bo arrived at'Without a judi
cious adjustment of our jwrnidons tariff sys
tem. But you were tilld , and it'was preached
to you as irospel truth ; that ! t/wris necessary
to build ui ) the infant industries of The coun
try. Yen gracefully submitted to bci' taxed
for the special benefit oftlmt infant ; but the
infant is in the position to boss the parent
and it does it effectually.
"Yon allowed yotu-self to be' taxed and cre-
a ted a so-called 'home market , ' but at the
same time , tiiese same people ask you to as
sist in the enactment of a prohibitory law that
will destroy that very homo market. Look
at the state of Iowa , what it treacherous
piece of work was performed by these same
men. When that state was organized , the
legislature by special enactment created an
immigration commission to promote immigra
tion to that state. Agents were sent all over
Kurope , distributing pamphlets In which all
the natural advantages and resources of the
state were set forth in glowing terms , and
showing that the hillsides of Iowa were even
better adapted to the culture of wine than
those of Franco or Germany. On the
strength of the promises and inducements
held out by the Iowa state immigration coin-
ml imi. Himm.inilc : nf nprinmm iitnl
others en mo to this country to settle
in tlio state of Jowa. They have
assisted In building up the state to one of tlio
most prosperous in tliu nnloti. Tlioy 'have '
been and are today tlio most willing tax
payers ; but these ( icrmans and other so-called
foreigners' became obnoxious to thcje sumo
men and women on account of their 'peculiar
social customs' which they still cling to. An
agitation was gotten up to reform 'everybody
by law , especially the 'foreigners. ' A pro
hibitory law was enacted such tin wctild honor
the despotic Hussian government. All the
former promises made by the legislature of
the state were forgotten or broken and mil
lions of dollars worth of property destroyed
or confiscated and outlawed , industries killed
and thousands of families beggared by the
vote of a deluded legislature , acting under the
lash of a crowd of unsexcd women who
feign to bo Christians. : Iowa is'today the
worst law-ridden state in the union and the
only parties that reap any benefit thereby are
the law-breaker and lawyer. . Are you -ready
to bring about such a state of affairs in' our
young and prosperous stateofNebraska ? I
think not ; and if you arc not ready
donot listen to the siren song of
those patent-right Christians. Toll tliO'io de
luded people that prohibition does not pro
htbit. It is detrimental to the best interests
of the state and tends to army one-half of the
people against the other half. It 1s senti
mental legislation anil will bring about tlio
opposite of what is claimed for it. Being ag
gressive in its nature it will raise a deter
mined opposition and breed contempt for the
law in general. Its most pernicious effect
upon tlio people will bo to malco this a nation
of hypocrites. The enactment of a prohib
itory law will destroy a great industry of this
state and wipe out millions of invested prop
erty. Prohibition will destroy a homo market
for grain and corn and bo a severe blow to
the farming interests. You must.organlzo if
you wish to kill off the venomous reptile , pro
hibition. " -
A resolution , the same as adopted by tlio
farmers nf So ward county , was then .intro
duced , looking for a inoro effectual organiza
tion of Dodge county funnel's. Anotberhirgo
meeting will be held in the near future.
