Thcrowas nochaiiKO In Urn snloon sltua-
lion yesterday. All thojilaces were miming OA
usualiilthougli , no licenses have been granted.
Bnt two places that contemplated goliiK Into
business for tlio present year arc closed. Ono
of these Is Frank Havlek , who has taken no
Btcps to .secure n llccnso pending the result
of the nnnuxiitlon election. Huvlok had u
disastrous existence \Valioo once In run
ning up against the Slocumb liuv and wants
no more lines In his. The other Is D. LI. Mo-
GiiL'ki'ii , who Intends to inn a liar In connec
tion with his hotel on Q .street , hut will not
ot > cn It for business until his license has been
granted.
Twenty-one .saloonkeepers have paid the
city treasurer the WHO miulicd for saloon
licenses , hut the other tlility-nino arc holding
back In hopes of holng allowed to pay the
llrstijuartorly Installment only. The llccnso
coimnlttrn It mini at work ( joliitf over the ap
plications without llmlliiK any that aroslnned
iiy the required thirty i-esidont freeholders.
The saloon men nio now reuli/liif , ' the folly of
allowing anybody and everybody to slffn their
applications through the medium of some
rustler who only necks signers to the extent
of getting the required thirty without refer-
unco to property qualifications.
Many of the saloonmon now admit that
Sunday closing Is Inevitable and even the
most ardent autl-auuevaUoriisN say that It
must come. Mayor Slo.ino Is being oritlcl/ed
in sonic. < ju art era for his InilltTcrciico in the
mutter of allowing new saloons to openly run
without the semblance of authority from the
city or tate to do business. Mommy night's
meeting of the i.-lty council promises to bo a
hot ono.
Tlio Strike Thai Never Came.
Couliary to the wishes of some South
Omaha pcoplo tbc packing house and block
yards employes wcro all on duty yester
day as usual and the chances of iv strike have
gene glimmering at least for the present. The
action of the stock yards and packing houses
men In Chicago has set at rest any doubts as
to the actions of tlio South Omaha men.
Here there was never any delinlte talk of a
strike and all the talk of It emanated front
people who had no authority whatever to
talk for the men. There Is an easier feeling
today among business men although there
wits at no time any cause for uneasiness.
There will bo no strike In South Omaha.

NOIITII VS I'liATTIJ COUNTY.
A Cnsc of CoiiHldernblo Interest to
Omalin Cltfr.eiiH.
The state ujircnio court yesterday rcii'
dered a decision In the case of North vs the
county of Plattc , the original injunction
being dissolved and dismissed. The opinion
was delivered by Justice Maxwell.
This case was ono In which n number ol
Omaha woplo anil Omaha Institutions , par
ticularly Crelghton college , wcro largely In
terested.
Hon. . ! . M. Woolworth , who repre
sented ono of the defendants , the
trustees of the Episcopal church ,
was asked for n full statement of the case.
Mr. Woolworth stated the case as follows :
"This case was a bill of equity brought by
ono North , a taxpayer of Platte county ,
against the county onieers for an Injunction
toicstraln them from collecting taxes to pay
the Interest on thc.se bonds. This Injunction
was asked for on the ground that the propo
sition which had been submitted to the pcoplo
was In the alternative , that is , the county
were to bo authorized to Issue bonds to ono or
the other of two railroad companies.
"Tho holders of the bonds were not tnnilo
parties to the suit , but the state held $ K > , U)0 ( )
of the bonds and applied to be made party de
fendant , to defend and maintain the validity
of the bonds.
"Tho defense set up WAS that the state was
a bona lido holder of the bonds , and If the
plaintiff had any Just grounds for questioning
the validity of the bands ho should have done
so before tno bonds wcro Issued.
"Tho testimony taken in the case was very
voluminous , and the llr.st argument was had
In November last. The court asked for a re-
argument of the case , and this was had about
two months ago. The decision of the court
was that the bonds were voidable , and if
any proper parti' had applied for an
Injunction before the bonds hud been
certified to by the state ofllclals and
sold to bona lido holders , the Issue would
have been void , but as North and the county
authorities stood by and let the bonds ho sold
to Innocent purchasers , they had waived all
objections , and the bonds wcro therefore
valid and must bo paid by the county.
"Besides the holding of the state , Creigh-
ton college holds fJir.OOO of the bonds , the
estate of Mrs. Sarah E. Creighton holds
SIL',000 , the trustees of the Episcopal church
f5HK ( ) and a widow In Lincoln whose name I
cannot recall , holds $10,000. Of the amount
held by the state fc ) . " > ,000 belongs to the school
fund.
"The county authorities claimed they wcro
not In synfpathv with Noith and took no
action to help him defend his suit.
"The llndlng of the supreme court is final
as there is no appeal. "

Frank McCarthy I'liintu a Bullet In
Clirls Shuw'H IJCK-
"Give me a revolver d nquickfor there is
going to he a murder tonight , and you will
read all about it in the paper tomorrow morn
ing. ' '
These were the words Frank McCarthy
uttered as he rushed about the streets at 11
o'clock last night.
There had been trouble.
During the early evening McCarthy , who
is a bartender at the Turf exchange on South
Thirteenth street , and Chris Shaw , a bar
tender at the Drum , on Farnain street , met
and some hot words passed between them.
A couple of hours later they again came to
gether in Jack AVood's saloon , on Fifteenth
street , and the quarrel was renewed. Mc
Carthy ivas under the influence of liquor and
was very abusive.
During the quarrel he caught hold of Shaw ,
tore his clothes and dragged him about the
room , until a/ ! last Shaw , becoming angry ,
struck McCarthy a strong blow in the face ,
knocking him down. It was when he arose
and went out into the .street that he promised
to do the murdering act.
Ho visited the Merchants' saloon , where ho
tried to borrow a revolver , telling the bar
tender , Peter Boase , that ho was going to
kill a man , but there he was unsuccessful.
An hour later ho returned to Woods'
saloon with a revolver in his hand , and with
out saying a word walked up to where Shaw
was standing and tired , the ball entering and
lodging in the lleshy part of the right leg ,
just above the knee.
A crowd soon gathered , but not soon
enough to prevent McCarthy from being
knocked down and terribly pounded about
the faeo and head.
About this time Officer Boyle arrived ,
placing McCarthy under arrest'nnd taking
him to the central station , where his injuries
were looked after by Dr. ( Japcn.
Shaw was taken to his room in the Kedlck
block , on Farnatn street , and a physician
called. The bullet was removed and the
wound , which is a painful , though not a
dangerous one , was dressed.
Prior to last night the two men had been
the best ot friends , and the shooting undoubt
edly came about from the fact that McCarthy
was drunk and was looking for a row.

llKYNOTjOS IDKNTIFIRD.
Almost Positive Proof Tlmt Ho Shot
\ouiiK Nlsn-l.
The police are now positive that suspect
James Reynolds , who has been in the city Jail
for two days , Is oao of the parties to the shoot
ing of young Nistcl.
Yesterday afternoon ho made a partial con
fesston to Chief Keavoy , saying that he was
present when thn shot was llred , but claims
the revolver was in the hands of his partner ,
whose niiino ho refuses to divulge.
During the day I. W. Hull , an Insurance
agent , with olllces in the Paxton blocic , called
at the station and Identllled Reynolds.
Mr. Hall was passing along the street the
night of the shooting and was just opposite
when the two thieves turned on Nistel. Ho
got a good view of their faces , and as ho
walked down the corridor of the Jail ,
when ho reached the cell in which
Reynolds was lodged ho stopped and point
ing to that man , said : "That Is the party. "
The other man Is said to have lied to Coun
cil Bluffs , where ho Is now being shadowed
by the Omaha detectives , with a strong prob
ability that ho will bo unvoted today.
The condition of William Nistcl continued
to improve until yesterday , but during the
afternoon ho grow worse aim at midnight was
very weak.
The attending physician last night stated
that ho still had hopes of the young man's re
covery , hut tlm chances wcro most decidedly
against it. As yet no attempt has been made
to remove the bullet.

China IH the Land AVlicro the Iteggnr
is King.
In the course of a reccnf article the
Chinese Times of Tion-Tsin remarks
that tlio practical power of poverty is
perhaps greater in Uliina than anywhere
else ; the beggar there Is king , it is a
distinct force in politics , and of this
there have been muny examples in re
cent time1 ? . The greatest of all the
statesmen of tlio lust thirty years , nnd
the ono who is the least known , owing to
his early death , was Hu Linyi , viceroy
of the IIu Kuang during the time of the
Taiping rebellion. Jt was ho who
thought out and organized the scheme
for the suppression of that rebellion , for
which his lieutenants , Tseng Kwo-fun
and his brother , Tso Tbitng-tang , Peng
Yulin and Li Hung Chang reaped the
glory. Ho was distinguished by his
poverty , as was T.scng Kwo-fnn himself ,
Peng Yulin and Tso.
These men wielded immense influence
over the counsels of the state , chiefly on
account of their"poverty , which in a
Chinese olllcial is a test of probity , an In
fluence which owes much of its strength
BO the attachment of the people to every
man who comes unspotted through the
bovero temptations of Chinese ollicial
life. Everything may bo forgiven in
China to a poor ollieial. The greatest
blunders of Tso Tsung-tang were con
doned and no cccent'rieity of policy or
brusqucrio of deportment was able per
manently to diminibh his influence. The
greatest living example , however , is the
redoubtable Viceroy Chang Chintung ,
who owes much to the vacuous condition
of his purse. "N"p doubt he is by nature
courageous , but his courage derives its
daily sustenance from the consciousness
that ho has nothing to fear. No treach
erous subordinate or blackmailing censor
ser can find a hole in his armor of proof ,
and ho holds his head erect and ( lofiant ,
triumphing oven over his own mistakes
and shortcomings.
"Who but ho would have dared to al
low confusion in the finances of his
government , and then to coolly usk the
board of revenue to puss his accounts on
blocV Only his poverty and purity coul'd
have so emboldened him. To such an
olllcial reforms are possible , bocaubo ho
has not a host of hungry clansmen to
provide for out of the public resources ,
nor any personal interests of his own or
his subordinates to conserve. The court
docs not conceal its irritation at the
ways of the imperious little man , but it
does not say very much , for the country
is with him. Ho may proceed from ono
audacious failure to another and may
spend the btato's money virtually as ho
pleiibes , but ho will go very far indeed
before ho will seriously compromise his
Itis position in the country. IIo delles
fortune with the genial levity of ono who
is not in her debt and he has no future
favors to bespeak ; ho is a veritable
power in the state , resting on the three
fold basis of liis pen , his patriotism and
iiis poverty ; but the greatest of these is
. "
poverty. _ _

"You want to give tno the shake , do you I"
The words were uttered In a very high
key , and the tone was considerably higher.
They could not fall to attract attention , and
pedestrians on North First street stopped to
see what was the matter. It was about 7
o'clock last evening. A young man named
Lloyd Porgiiives , who is well known to the
police , AVIIS endeavoring to get aw.iy from n
notoilous prostitute , but she evidently was
not disposed to have it that way. As the
young man .started to run ho caught a stiff
left-hander behind the car , and his new
sin-Ing hat landed In the gutter.
Ills head wns In ths hat when he. .struck the
paving , and It was some time before ho man
aged to regain his feet , which meandered
toward Indian creek. The woman waited
until ho again assumed n perpendicular atti
tude , when she smashed him again right on
the top of his proboscis. Ho succumbed as
gracefully as possible under the circum
stances , and again resumed a recumbent posi
tion. As soon as ho could pull hltnsclt to
gether ho shot up the alloy , north of I > road

The Now I'Mro Itulcs.
The now rules governing the lire depart
ment will take effect this morning. Ono that
will bo particularly noticed by the public will
bo the three taps of the big bell on the cen
tral' lire house at 8 o'clock every morning ,
calling the men to early drill. Another tap
will be sounded at noon and ono at 8 o'clock
In the evening the same as heretofore. The
men will have a drill three times a day , the
principal ono being in the morning , when
they will bo put through all kinds of work ,
including hitching and unhitching , reeling
and unreeling hose , and making couplings.
The now rules are very similar to those of
the Kansas City department , from which
they wore very largely copied. The three
taps in the morning must not bo misunder
stood as an alarm of lire , for it is simply the
result of the daily test of the circuits by the
electrician.
