A licustly trick on Nye.
When Dill Nyc wa8 in Kansas City
lecturing , recently , this little joke was
played on him : Tlicro is n. man in that
city who laughs aa sonorously and
unremittingly as a foghorn , although
ha manages to cover u wider range of
tones In this operation than that deep-
lunged , mornful songstress. This ro-
niarUablo individual was slyly provided
with a front ; seat at the lecture. The
Cinuinati Commercial Gazette , in toll
ing the story , eays ; "It took seine time
for the subtle wit of Bill Nye to bore
itself into the adamant of nis understand
ing , but suddenly the humorist told ono
of his irrostlblo stories , ana the expect
ed laugh came. Tlio man spread out his
lops , foil back In his boat , throw back
his head , and roared out his constorna-
tionsproaUihlaugh. ! . High nnd far
above till other laughter rose tlio vol
ume of this laugh. U sank , it roBO , it
repealed , it redoubled on itself. The
laughter of the real of the nudionco was
stilled , but tlio man in front showed no
sings of wearying or letting up. A blank
da/ed lopk , like that of injured innocence
came over tlio face of 13111 Nye , who
avers ho will pot oven with his perse
cutors the next time ho goes to Kansas
City.

The excise board of the cit.v ot Lincoln mot
tbls afternoon for the purpose of appointing
members of the city police force fcr the en
suing ycnr. Altbougb tbcro were apparently
toino differences between Mayor Weir and
the other members of the board they wcro
expressed In a good naturcd manner and no
undue friction was generated.
O. P. Ulngos , as chief of police , was released
from tno further performance of the duties
of that position nnd Louis Otto , the present
deputy sheriff and formerly nlpbt cantata
of the Lincoln pollen force , appointed in bis
place. William tipluln , at ono time night
sergeant , was appointed night captain , to
succeed Captain Palmer. Prod Miller , an
old member of the fore ? , was retained nnd
will for the ensuing year perform the duties
of day sergonnU W. T. B , Ireland , a now
member on the force , was appointed nlcht
sergeant. The patrolmen ore as follows :
John Ttipmau , John Morrlssoy , Jobn John
son , John Hay , George Harry , George Sipo ,
George Bolts. J. E. Kinney , Thomas Cnrna-
ban , Pat O'Sbco ' , William MoBride , O. M.
iouizahn , Frank Gradv , Thomas Miller ,
Henry Bertrand , Michael Moonoy. With
Iho exception of O HI cor Kitinov all the pa
trolmen appointed today are now members
of tbo forco.
Went Out us I'mml.
A' 7 o'clock this evening the old members
of the police foreo assembled at the station
preparatory to going out on their regular
boats und the mnyor in fanned them thnt ,
notwithstanding their removal by the cxclso
board , they should consider themselves
members of the police forco. They were
then given their Instructions and sent out as
usual.
At S o'clock Louis Otto
, the newly ap
pointed chief of police , niado his appoaranoo
with nil the now man appointed this after
noon. Ho demanded possession of the police
station of Chief Dlngcs , but that oftlcor do-
cllned to recognize htm. Otto then ordered
the now men to fall in and rocolvo instruc
tions. Tbo roll was called and Night Cap
tain Splalu detailed the men for their respec
tive beats.
As they WOM preparing to leave the station
in charge of the new night sergeant Mayor
Weir appeared and stated that by virtue of
powers conferred upon him as mayor ot the
city ho would discharge each and every ono
of the men appointed this afternoon. Ho
then read an ofllclul discharge for Louis Otto
as chief of police and all other men appointed
today. Ho warned thorn that If any of them
attempted to perform the duties of policeman
tbev would do so ai Ihoir peril.
When iho mayor bad finished Otto gave
bis Instructions to the new men and sent
thomouton their beats in detlanoo of iho
order of Ihc mayor.
Origin of the Trouble.
The present trouble js tbo outgrowth of n
long standing difference of opinion between
Mayor Weir and the other two members of
the excise board over , the power lo appoint
and remove members ot the police forco.
Last year , during the absence of Mayor
Weir , the board removed six members of tbo
force , upon Iho ground that there were no
funds with which to pay thoa. When
Maj'or Weir returned 'ho reinstated the six
men romoveq during .his absence , and dU-
ctfarged six others lu their placps.
Tlio matter was taken into trio district
court , where it was decided In favor of the
excise board. Than the case wont to the
sumemo court and Borao wonks since that
body decidud that the excise board bad the
power to remove forcause lack of funds being
a good and sufficient cause for removal. Tbo
supreme court also decided that the mayor
could rcmovo in em ben of tha police force
whenever bo doomed It necessary for tbo
purpose ef discipline , or for other causes.
Matters have remained In this somowbat un
satisfactory condition for tbo past few
weeks , Until the issue betvrcn tbo mayor
and the excise board was squarely joined
Ibis evening.
A Tulle tvltli the Mayor.
In an interview tonight wlih THE BEE re
porter , Mayor Weir said thai bo regrcited
tbo turn tbo matter bad taken , but so lone as
he was mayor of the city of Lincoln ho pro
posed to ao bis duty. Ho would have been
satisfied lo have allowed other members of
the board to notno half of the police forco.
Many of tbo now inon appointed Ibis after
noon were men whom ho had previously dis
charged. Ho was responsible only to iho
people of Lincoln. If Iho now men appoinlcd
to places on the force this afternoon at
tempted to perform the duty of policemen
the responsibility wdl rest upon thorn.
At U ) o'clock tonight Mayor Weir celled
all the old members of the police force to the
station und stated that owing to a conflict of
authority between himself and the excise
board the city was without proper protection ,
therefore in order to guard llfo and property
and to preserve the pcaco and order of iho
city ho appointed all the old members as
special policemen , to servo until fuilher
noiico. Mayor \ \ eir at iho same limo issued
Ibo folio wing proclamation :
