INilIco I.oculo nn Opium Joint nnd Make
Hong Chong. or Ben Reed , n good looking
Chinaman , was arrested Friday night for run
ning nn opium hall ,
Friday nftcrnoon Detectives Hayes and
Hudson were told that there was nn opium
smoking parlor nt the CUe Mnng Lee , n
Chinese bazar , 1322 Capitol nvonue. It
was suspected that this place was something
more than a bazar , nnd that night Hayes and
Hudson and Ofllccr Ravencamp went down
there. They Centered the store , but there
was nothing suspicious thero. They tried
up-stalrs , hut beyond n cot or two nothing
was seen. They were about to leave when
It was suggested that the basement might
bo worth Investigating. They went Into
the halhvay nnd from there Is a passageway
to the basement.
Thcro was n dim light burning and by It
the ofllcers could BOO two rows of doors and
a narrow passageway between. The rooms
were plainly furnished , a chair and table
foniilng the principal articles of furniture.
In Kcnio ot the narrow rooms tlicro was a
lounge. Thcro was all the paraphernalia of
a llrst class opium joint.
Tlio rooms were searched , but nobody
could bo found till the officers reached n lit
tle room to the right. Hero n man nnd
woman were Kitting at a little table half
stupefied. They were nrrested nnd gave
their names as Mr. and Mrs. Johnson ,
Tim prisoners are strangers In the city.
They will bo given a hearing In police court
on Monday.
KoadHti-r Club Affairs.
Ono wcok ago last evening seventeen of
the members of the Gentlemen's Roadster
club mot nt the Merchants nnd tried to re
organize the association , hut It requires
sevonty-ono members to constitute a quorum
and no business could bo transacted. The
meeting was adjourned to last evening in
the hopes of getting enough out to either re
organize the club and put It once moro
on Its feet or to declare Itself ofllclally
dead and Icavo the field clear for some oilier
organization that would do something. Last
evening about n dozen of tlio enthusiasts
met at the Merchants , but not enough to
transact any business , and they gave up In
dcspitr their attempt to get the old club
together.
Hama of the horsemen nro determined
that Omaha shall Imvo races the coming
season , mid tnlk of forming a new club with
a Ies3 unwellJy mcmberiihlp , and 'somo
steps will probably bo taken looking to this
enI within a tow days.

ST. PAUL , Feb. 17. The American Citi
zen , n local weekly , published "In the Inter
est of true Americanism , " with Incidental
opposition to the American Protective as
sociation , In Its Issue today publishes an
Interesting letter from lion , Theodore
Roosevelt of the United States civil service
commission. Mr. Roosevelt's letter Is ns
follows :
United Stntcs Civil Service Commission ,
Washington , Dec. 1C , Editor Citizen : I
have been much Interested In two or three
of your editorials that have been sent to
me , notably In that wherein you oppose the
division of the school fund. It gives mo
pleasure to write n word In hearty com
mendation of the spirit of true Americanism.
True Americanism Is ns absolutely opposed
to know-nothlnglsm on the ono hand as It
Is to every form of forelgnism on the other.
Every foreigner who comes to this country
Is In honor bound to become nn American
citizen pure nnd simple , without nny quali
fication. He has no business to bring Into
our American political life the questions of
European politics , nnd especially the re
ligious and race rivalries of Europe. Ho
Is bound not to act ns an Irishman or Ger
man , Englishman or Scandinavian , but
purely as nn American. It Is an outrage
thatl nny one of our political
conventions should Insert Into
the party platform planks to
catch any division of the foreign vote , be
cause It is an outrage that there should be
any division of our voters who cast their
votes as foreigners. Wo have nothing to
do In our political platforms with the rivalry
between Germany nnd Franco , with the ques
tion of homo rule for Ireland , or of union
for the British empire. All wo are concerned -
corned with Is questions of American poll-
tics , and we have n right to demand that
every American voter should vote purely
with reference to those questions. If a for
eign-born citizen honestly and In good faith
fulfill the duties of American citizenship and
acts as nn American pure and simple , It
Is most emphatically an outrage to discrim
inate against him In any way because of his
birthplace or his creed , I have the honor
of knowing a number of gentlemen who have
been to congress from the northwest during
the past few years , and among the very
stoutest Americans of them nil I could
name certain congressmen who.happened to
be born in Germany , in Sweden or In Nor
way. In the same way , during the term of
sorvlco In the New York legislature when I
came to select the most important com
mittee with which I ever had to work "and
when I had to choose my four colleagues
purely from considerations affecting these
subjects , I found that no less than three of
them were Irish by birth or descent.
Among these men with whom I was as
sociated In the Now York legislature If I
wcro asked to name those who wcro most
thoroughly American , ns well as absolutely
honest nnd patriotic In their devotion to the
well being of the commonwealth , I should
put very high among their number many of
my colleagues of German and Irish birth or
parentage ,
Ono of them , by the way , whom I should
put especially high , would be a gentleman
now residing In St. Paul , Hon. M. J. Cos-
tollo. I have been through the fire with Mr.
Costcllo and have seen him tried by very
sovcro tests and not found wanting. Yours
truly , THEODORE ROOSEVELT.
Mr. Costello , to whom the letter refers ,
was formerly connected with the Omaha
Bco and Herald and Is understood to be one
of the editors of the American Citizen.

VERDICT OF'NOT CTUII/TY.
Jury FhnlH that ftporgo Dodrlll Killed
Andruw Itjnn In Self-Defense.
The verdict of twelve Jurors has given
George Dodrlll his liberty , nnd nt the same
time , In the eyes of the law , this verdict
has purged him of the charge of having
taken the life of a fellow man with felo
nious Intent.
Yesterday morning , shortly after the con
vening of the court , the bailiff In
charge nnnounccd that the jury hai
agreed upon n verdict. For a brlcl
moment there was n slight scene of
disorder in the court room as men
speculated upon what the verdict might be ,
but it quickly subsided. The attorneys and
the prisoner were sent for , and ns they en
tered the room n look of anxiety swept over
each face. The Jury was brought In , anil
as the twelve men took their scats In the
box the eyes of Dodrlll followed them ,
while ho drew from his pocket a handker
chief nnd wiped nway the great beads ol
perspiration which gathered upon his fore
head , notwithstanding the fact that the tem
perature of the room was uncomfortably
cool and men who were their overcoats
shivered and got close to the steam regis
ters.
ters.When
When the last man had entered the box
Clerk Moores asked : "Gentlemen of the
jury , have you agreed upon a verdict ? "
"We have , " responded the foreman , as he
passed n sealed envelope to tbo clerk , who
tore open the cover and read from the cn-
closed paper the statutory form , which ended
with the words , "not guilty. "
For an Instant tlicro was a hush that was
followed by a quiet that was painful. Dod
rlll made motion . of the lips , as though he
would speak , but ho was stopped by his at
torney , who reached over and grasped his
hands , whispering a few words into his ear.
A moment later Judge Scott announced that
the Jury was discharged and that the pris
oner was released from custody , after which
a little procession moved quietly into the
main corridor of the building , where Leo
Estelle nnd T. J. Mahoney , the attorneys who
had conducted the defense , received the con
gratulations of their brother nttorncys ,
whllo George Dodrlll was holding a levco
with some thirty or forty Burlington rail
road men who had been constant spectntors
during the trial.
KeBiilt of nn ICIrrtlon Day Arrest.
John Konvalln lias figured out n scheme by
which , ho hopes to become richer by an even
$10,000 , and at the same time he proposes
to make Policeman Dick Mnrnell nhd Ills
bondsmen foot the bill , t
Konvalin has 'sued the 'officer and his
bondsmen In the. district court , where ho
alleges that a $10,000 hole 1ms been punched
Into his reputation by ono of the official acts
of the officer. He alleges that on the day
when the last general election was held ho
was one of the law abiding citizens of the
community , standing around the polls In
his wnrd watching the casting of the ballots.
While so standing nnd not Interfering with
n person on earth , Officer Mornell happened
along and placed him under arrest , com
pelling him to ride In the patrol wagon for
a distance of eight blocks , after which ho
was cast Into Jnll , among thieves , burglars
and all-around bad men. Ho protested
ngalnst being in such company , when the
officers at the Jail told him that If ho did
not "button his Up" the cold water hose
would bo turned down his throat. The
next day the plaintiff alleges that he was
called Into court and discharged from cus
tody.
Sentenced to Seven Years.
The two colored men , James Ashford nnd
Barney Smith , who burglarized the store of
Abraham Martin on the night of January 11 ,
stealing $150 worth of clothing , and who
three nights later burglarized the store of
G. A. Llndqulst , stealing therefrom clothing
of the value ot $220 , pleaded guilty In the
criminal court yesterday nnd were each sen
tenced to terms of seven years In the peni
tentiary. '
During the early days of the term the
two men were arraigned nnd both pleaded
not guilty. Friday night they changed their
minds , however , and concluded to acknowl
edge the corn , hoping by so doing to shorten
the term of imprisonment by n few years ,

HOT SPRINGS , S. 1) . , Feb. IT.MSpcclal to
The Dee. ) A wonderful occurrence hap
pened on Mrs. Dcwcy's place , about half
way between Hot Springs nnd Cawcado ,
Thursday. A ranchman coming to town
noticed a column ot steam Issuing from a
hole In the pround about 100 feet from the
road , and leaving his team he approached
and found that the earth had sunk to an
unknown depth , leaving a crater or open-
In , from which ntcam and noxious gases
were pouring forth. Ho brought wonl to
town and a party went out to investigate It.
They found that around the hole was noth
ing but a shell of frozen earth , very danger
ous to walk over. A rope was tied about ono
of the party and he approached the crater ,
hut could not see to the bottom. One
hundred feet of rope failed to reach the
bottom. Ily lighting wisps of hay soaked In
kerosene It was found , on throwing them
Into the opening , that an Immense cavern or
subterranean chamber -was below , with a
large opening leading off toward the west. It
Is supposed that a cow had been wandering
about and dropped through. Another party
will go out tomorrow with giant powder and
blow off the thin crust and explore the
cavern , It Is thought It will lead to the
discovery of n large cave , as the country
thereabouts Is supposed to bo honeycombed
with underground passages. Sijme years
ago a man boring a well'ln the neighbor
hood lost his auger , It having dropped clear
out of reach Into a fissure or chamber. This
discovery Is probably a solution of the many
natural dry wells In the locality that have
been something of a puzzle to scientists.
Great preparations are being made for
the grand Masonic ball and reception to
bo given In this city on the 22d. Parties
from Lincoln and Omaha have signified
their intention of being present and It Is
now thought there will be 500 people from
a distance. The Evans hotel , In which It
will ho hold , Is already being decorated with
special designs In electricity , and large quan
tities of cut flowers have been ordered for
decoration. It will no doubt be the most
elaborate affair ever given in the north
west.
The new system of water works , consisting
'
of about five miles of'mains , has been turned
over to the city council for Inspection. It
was put In by the Hot Springs Water ,
Light and Power company , and Is an ex
cellent job. Stcpa are now being taken
for putting In a system of sewage.

BISHOP NEWMAN'S ' IDEA
Suggests Two Parliaments of Religion to
Inaugurate the Twentieth Oentury.
SEEKING UNITY IN THE CHURCH OF GOD
pir ami Knturtnlnntrnt fnr the Poor nt
Sircdlnh Mrthodlut Uliurvh-b'ortlrot
of Today In tint Oliurrhci
of Oiimlm. v
A recent number of the Independent con
tains 11 very timely iirtlclo from tno pen of
lltshop Nuwman , which urges the advisabil
ity uf holding two grand parliaments of
religion to cclebr.ito the advent of tlio
twentieth century of the Christian era.
The bishop contend. ) that such a course
would tend to bring uut the things that all
manner of worshipers have In common and
lead toward a moro united and fraternal
condition. Hlshop Newman says :
"Let us have two parliaments of religion
In the year HXK ) to inaugurate the twentieth
century of the Christian era , the llrst to be
composed of appointed or elected delegates
bearing cortiilcd credentials from any branch
of the CtirUtian church. I am not concerned
who shall Issue the call , whether archbishop
of Canterbury , the pope of Komo. the holy
synod of Russia , thu catholiuos of the Ar
menians , the patriarch of Alexandria , the
general conference of the Mothodis'.s , the
Kcnur.il assembly of the 1'rcsbyterKiiiH , the
general synod of the Lutherans , the na
tional council of Congrcgatlonall-sts , thu na
tional anniversaries of thu liaptists or the
Evangelical alliance.
"Let this ecumenical conference of the
Christian world declare : A common ground
of a universal faith , that noncs > sentuls of
polity nnd liturgy shall not interfere with a
coidlal In the Immediate
co-operation con-
voislon of mankind to 'faith , hope and
charity , ' and that the church of God is
iarger'nnd greater than any denomination ,
and embraces all true believers who love
our Lord Jesus Christ in truth and sincerity.
Voices of union eotno from the i-nds of the
earth. Who has the courage to Issue the
call ?
"Immediately succeeding this general as
sembly of the church of God , and in thu same
place , let us have a parliament of all relic-
ions known to manofauthnri/cd representa
tives , with credentials that cannot bo ques
tioned. They shall not como as eulogists of
founder , or creed , or ceremony , but to ascer
tain two things : What wo have in common
in faith and practice and wherein wo dliter ,
and whether such differences can bo ad
justed. It would bo u question worthy of
such a parliament of the world to consider
whether thuro is a place in the Christian
pantheon for the Urahmlu , tlio Buddhist ,
the Purst , the Confucianlst and the Moham
medan. I think there is something in com
mon In all these great religions , and tlio
recognition of this fact might lead to the
renouncement of whatever is false and the
acceptance of the whole truth of Christian
ity. Convince such religionists that Christ
is the contcmnorary ot the ages , that His
dootrino is as old as man , that all truth in
other systems is found in Him , and such a
parliament of the world would be tlio broth
erhood of mankind. "
