ploying around hl mouth , Ho gazed upo
hla fallen foe for about three seconds an
then walked over to his corner and sal down
Julian , McCoy nnd Evorhart crowded aroun
urging him to get up and fight.
"Look out for him , Fitz , " yelled Julian
"Look out for him. "
, "Stand up , for heaven's sake , " plcadei
Ilverliart , "be may come at you. "
"Get away from mo. Get away from me
I toll you , " snarled Fitz. "It's all over , he'
out , " end by the tlmo ho had finished speak
Ing Mflher'a championship was a thing ot th
past.
SHOOK MAHBR'S HAND.
"There , didn't I tell you he was out ? " re
marked Fltzelmnions , In a peevish tone , a
he turned to pull his bath robe up aroun
him to keep out of the cold , drizzling ral
that was falling. Ho sat for a few minute
In his corner , looking across at Mahcr , am
then jumping briskly to his feet , ho walked
rapidly acrote the ring and offered hi
gloved hand to Maher. Peter reached fo
It , but Fltzslmmons drew It back with a
laugh , and getting Julian to untie the Etrlni
t tbo wrist , ho walked back to Maher and
Offered his bare hand , with the remark
"Well , Peter. "
Mahcr reached lor the extended hand ant
sliooU It heartily without rising from hi
seat or ralslnc his head to look at hts cori
qiicror. Julian then called to Fltzslmmon
end the victor w allied over to the side o
the rlns nearest the gate , where Julian
stood. The crowd was already beginning to
stream out. but loud calls of "Gentlemen
gentlemen" from Julian , supplemented by a
few whacks on the gong , stopped them
' 'Gentlemen , " yelled the short and fat Mr
Julian , bulging himself out In a frantic manner
nor to make his volco reach all within a
mlle or two of the ring , "Mr. FUzslmmoni
lias now worked his way up to the top n < i
Is now the cliamnlon of the world. He > °
now ready at any time and place to defeni
his title nznlnst any man In the world. "
The declaration was croetcd with loud
yells ot approval from the crowd and Fltz-
stmmons hawed and erlnned his usual aus
picious grin , and then hurried away to dress
hlmzelr.
Maher was unconscious fifteen seconds ant
It was fully a minute after he had been car
ried to his corner before he fully recalnet
consciousness. He was not disposed to tall-
much. He Is no talker at any time ant
would have had little to pay If ho had won
WHAT THE FIGHTERS SAY.
"He got me good and hard and that was
all thcra was to It , " he said. "I heard the
referee counting nnd heard the msn In mi
corner callliiK me to rise , but I could not
rise. When I know anything at all , I was
In my corner nnd they were rubblna my
face with water. "
Fltzrlmmons was very mo-Jest , considering
the brilliant victory he had won. "I could
have put him out the first punch , " he said
"but didn't reach him hard enough. There
never was a minute since the match was
ninde that I have anticipated any other re
sult than this. I was sure of htm at nl
stages of , the game. He was afraid the mln-
ute be put up his hands , nnd I knew It. It
was Just like the first flsht I had with him
in New Orleans. I could have licked him
long before had I tried , and yet people are
saying to this day that he had me nearly
out. I just got In on him with my right
and caught him squarely on the side of the
Jaw. I knew It was all over when I landed
on him. It was dead easy from the start. "
After Fltzslmmons and his party had come
up to the railway station , Ernest Rector , the
klnetescopo man , came to him with a proposi
tion to fight Mahcr six rounds In front of his
machine , which would not work today , because -
cause of the dark weather. Fltzslmmons
readily accepted the chance , but said that he
must have $5,000 cash In advance and 50
per cent of the net receipts from the exhibi
tion of the pictures' ' . This was carried to
the Mahcr party and In the carrying of It
was distorted so tnat I'lizsimmons was maae
to say that he would bet $5,000 that ho would
stop Maher at any tlmo within six rounds.
Qulnn , the backer of Maher , came rushing
back to see Fltzslmmons about the proposition.
The now champion disclaimed having said
anything of the sort and a war of words
resulted. Challenges for all sorts of sums
Vrcro hurled back and forth , but by the tlmo
the train had pulled out of Langtry for El
Pas ? nothing had been done.
"I don't care about fighting before the
Wnetoscopo , " said Fltzslmmons. "Every
tlmo they want mo to do It , they want to
give the other fellow all the money , and I
want some of It myself. I will fight Maher
again , of courro. If the money Is put up , but
I don't fiqlit before that machine unless 1
get $5,000 cash and CO per cent of the re
ceipts. "
CROWD WAS SLIM.
The special cars awaiting to take tbo flglit
npectutors at El Paso depot were attached
to the tegular tra'.n on the Southern Pacific ,
wli'.ru was forty-five minutes late coming Into
El Pa.n. There wore Hvo cars. About ICO
portions lought tickets at the depot for Lang-
try , putting up Jll.Oj each. The tickets to
the fight were S20 and those who wished
'could stcuro sleeping car accommodations
for $3. A quieter and better behaved lot of
vlxltors to a prize fight never gathered. Fltz-
nlmmcro and his party occupied the next c-nr

' oral wltncspod the fight and enjoyed It. nut
thorn who had the ba t view ot ( tin short
mill were the villager * and persona for
mile * around who huve boon looking far It
for a week or more. . They were perchwJ on
the clin > i n the Texas * ldc of the river and
had a blrd'n-eyo view of the arena beneath
and they cheered at the knockout moro
loudly tlmn those close at the ring aide.
The village of Lingtry has one saloon
the Jewey Uljr and about fifty residents.
It Is 38D miles from HI 1'aso and 231 from
San Antonio. Del lilo Is sixty-four miles
awny. A special trnln from UeUl \ > and
Ragle Pass brought ITS , which , with those
from 121 Paso , were all there about tha
ringside. No more perfect place for a fight
without Interference could b : devised. It Is
nil but Inaccessible , and from the Mexican
side cannot be reached except by cotnliiR up
or down the stream for a long distance.
Once the banks were reached the troops
c uld fire from the cliffs upon those who
might be beneath. Two hundred Mexican
troops were at Kafile I'ass ready to move
upon advice of the Governor of Coahullla , in
which state the fight took place , but It would
have taken them two days' forc d marching
to reach the spot of the flRht. The weather
was threatening , .and just as the train pulled
Into Langtry the dr.ps began to fall. Light
rain fell until Just before the men entered
the ring , when Is practically ceased , but
came again In occasional spurts.
The general opinion among the sporting
men who witnessed the fight was that It was
a most brilliant and unqualified victory for
Kltzslminons. Mahcr may not have been
In as good condition as the Australian , but
ho could not have been outfought BO quickly
no matter what his condition had ben ha <
ho not been badly outclassed In point o
skill. The general feeling was that Fitz
slmmons is fully capable of giving Corbett o
any other man on earth a desperately h.m
fight at any time. No weights were an
nounced at the ring sldo , but Fltzslmmons
weighed JC5 and Mahcr about ISO. The
crowd disappeared from Langtry almost as
quickly as It had come and It was not In
the neighborhood over two and onc-hal
liourw all told. The westbound regular train
for El Paso was held until G o'clock , am
when It left carried with It thf pugilists an
nearly every person who had come down
to eco the fight. The one special train fron
Eagle Pass started on Its homeward way a
the same time and the great fight was over
and done. >
HISTORY OP THE MATCH.
NEW YORK , Feb. 2l. Fltzslmmons and
Maher were matched In this city Decembe
5 , 1895. After the Hot Springs fiasco Dan
Stuart went back to Dallas and thought th
matter all over. Ho had not given up the
Idea of bringing the men together. Ho looke <
for another place where a battle might bo
brought oft and found It riear El Paso , Tex
Ho secured Fltzsimmons' agreement to a
fight for a big puree and then came nortl
to look up Corbett. On arriving In this
city he learned ofMaher's victory eve
O'Donnell and of Corhctt'a transfer of the
championship. Mnher was then substituted
with Fltzslmnions' consent. Stuart then ar
ranged for other battles , Intending to have
a fistic carnival on a large scale. In all
six battles were to have been fought.
Maher went to Las Cruces , a Mexican town
about fifty miles from El Paso , and Fitz
slmmons located In Juarez , right across the
nio Grande from El Paso. Both went Into
active training. In tlmo the other pugilists
arrived and matters looked rosy for the suc
cess of Stuart's plans. Stuart had not di
vulged the place where the fights were to
take place , however , but insisted that they
should bo held without Interference and
without braking any laws. In Washington
a few days ago a bill was passed prohibiting
prlza fighting In any of the territories o :
the United States. This barred Stuart from
Now Mexico and was the first of his troubles
Then Mexico declared against the fights and
troops were called out to enforce the law
Texas rangers were on band to see that the
fights did not take place In , their s'ate.
Through It all Stuart steadily maintained
that the fights would take place. Finally
Maher's eyes became swollen and Inflamet
from dust which had fallen Into them from
the celling of his training quarters after
dlslotlgement by a foot ball. He could nol
fight February 14 , according to articles 01
agreement , and a postponement was made
untillast , , Monday , and on that day a further
postponement until today was arranged
Stuart then declared''all the other battles
oft and devoted , his entire time and attention ,
to the blc fight.

CORllETT CHALLENGES THE WINNER.
CHICAGO , Feb. 21. James J. Corbett was
out rldln when the news oX Maher'a defeat
was received In Chicago , but an Assoc.ated
press man met him Immediately on his re-
urn and notified him of the event.
"Do you challenge the winner ? " was
I do , " said Mr. Corbett , "for $10,000 or
any sum be may name , but there must be
no lone winded .talk about It. Ho must
coino and make his match here In Chicago
n business fashion and It must bo dcno at
once. This means business. I am right here
and Mr. Fltzslmmons can reach mo any
nlnute ho wants to. I mean business. I will
go on the stage tonight and challenge him
n the presence of my audience. I will fight
he winner anywhere on earth. I will fight
ilni In Australia , his own country , If he
vants me to. U la money that talks. Fitz-
imtnons has money now ; let mo see the
olor of Ills dust and I am ready. If be
vants the championship , let him Jump on
a train and come to Chicago and we will
Ix up a fight In two minutes. I go awny to-
uorrow night , but will be back week after
next. I sent him word last night asking him
o meet mo here between March 1 and C.
le can meet mg here ; then we can tnaite a
natch for any plc.ce , for any- amount ; but
t must be done promptly and by him In
isrson. "
Corbcit had a big house at the Haymar-
ot tonight , and he- was wildly cheered when
e read the following telegram ; "To H. L.
tench , Associated Press Correspondent ,
Laigtry , Tex. ; 1 am In the office of the
Associated press tell Fitzulmmons to come
o Chicago us coon as ho possibly can , and
will make a match with htm for any
mount , to fight him In any pluco on earth.
Arrangements can be made In the Atso-
latcd piesa office. Western Union building ,
leave here tomorrow night and return
he 1st of March. Tell Fltzslmmons to
uiuo the day bo wilt be here , betuean
larch 1 and C , and no will have no trouble
sreelng upon terms.
"JAMES J. CORBETT. "
Corbett , after reading the telegram , place !
1,000 In thu hands of Manager Davis uf
ho Haymarket theater.
"There are only three placea on earth
where wo can fight , " said Corbctt , "Eng-
and , South Africa and Australia. I wilt
go to any one of tbcte placed to meet tills
inn. I want him to do builneis , that's
11 I want. I want to say right here , as
ft young American of Irish descent , that I
will meet any man on the- face ot the earth. "
NOT AN EXTRADITABLE OFFENSK.
CITY OF MEXICO , Feb. 21. High officials
of the department nt foreign relations say
regarding t-day's prlr.o fight , nothing cm be
, done to punish the people concerned , as they
merely violated what was practically a pollca
regulation , succeeding in making a dash Into
. " i Mexican territory .avoiding Governor Ahumada
| and hla niralet , who were over fifty mlb
away , Und Oo\e'nor Ahumada caught turn ,
! the offense would have been only a mlsile-
! mo J nor and n thing more. Tbls Is not
an extraditable offenio as It comes under
no clause of the treaty. President Diaz
has taken the ground all along that the Mexi
can law did not cover prize fighting nnd his
endeavor was > merely to prevent the fight
| out of consideration of the United States.
I NEW YORK. Feb. 21. Peter Mahtr has *
* ent the following dlrpatch to the World :
I ' 'LANGTRY , Feb. 21 I , nm , of course
disappointed , lie Is a clever fighter nnd I
j don't exactly know -where J wan hit. Ssemi
to me It was on the jaw. The luck of
, mv head hits n blc lump on It nnd that' . *
where It struck the lloor. 1 thought I hail
him licked from the start nrd so far an
my condition Is concerned , I have nothlcrc
to complain of , nnd I would like to get a
light with somebody else 1 am not particu
lar which of the heavy weights.
"IM3TUR MAHER. "
CINCINNATI , Fob. 21. Dinver Ed Smith
Is In the city. He posted tonight $1,000
forfeit with Harry Weldon of the Enquirer
to guarantee a suitable purse to make good
a challenge to fight either Corbett or Fitz-
slmmons. Charles Bolltnger , the bookmaker ,
IH his backer. He thinks now that Fltz
slmmons should Ignore Corbett'o challenge
until thu latter has whipped some one In
Fltzslmmon ! ) class. Ho thinks Corbett did
not do the square thing In not standing by
Maher after turning the championship belt
over to him.

SAN FRANCISCO , Feb. 21. There was a
series of B nsiUonal developments yester
day In the caf of Dr. C. O. Drown. Mrs.
M. A. Stockton kept her promise to Mrs.
Sarah I ) , Cooper and became a witness
against the accused pastor. She recited a
series of events and confessed her relations
with the pastoi- were far more serious than
those which before were Included In her
public statements. At her own request the
doors of the council chamber were closed
against the public while she told her ro-
mnrkablo story. Dr. Ilrown prevailed upon
the council to listen without delay to hts
denial of the serious allegations of Mrs.
Stock'ton.
While Mrs. Stockton was the most Im
portant wltneai of the day , she did not sup
ply the only ecnsatlonal Incident. Mrs. Lena
Ulanchard created a commotion by delivering
an lilstorlr.il aililrps.i nn thn nlatform. She
was led shrieking from the council cham
ber , but not bsforo she had sworn that Dr.
Drown had Intimidated her by threats of ar
rest.
rest.Tho
The proceedings were enlivened by n sharp
I battle between Mrs. Sarah II. Cooper and
I Rev. Dr. Drown. This was followed by the
startling announcement that the accused pas
tor and Miss Matllc Overman will fiamlno
the Overman-Tunnel letters and will prob
ably pronounce them genuine. This an
nouncement , In conjunction with another that
Dr. Drown will attempt to give a reasonable
explanation of these letters which will not
conlllct with a theory of his Innocence , gave
to the events of the day un unexpected 1m
parlance.
Among the listeners at the trial Mrs. Mary
A. Davidson was prominent. She sought the
council chamber early In the afternoon and
formally presented the charges which she
had already made against the pastor to the
public. She remained throughout the discus
slon In the expectation that she would be
called as a witness , but the Judge advocate
was not ready to examine her , and aslcod an
adjournment until Tuesday afternoon.
After Mrs. Stockton had told her sensational
story , Judge Advocate Woodhams questioned
her. Some of the questions and answers
were as follows :
Woodhams Tell us If you met Dr. Drown
at other times ,
Mrs. Stockton Oh. I met him many times
BO many times that I was willing to go to
the ends of the earth for him. I would no
aDoner get In my room some times than the
door would open and the doctor would come
In. He was my very shadow. One day
we took a lonfi-twalk to North beach. Some
times we walked 'on tlio down town stress ,
but that was .dangerous , and we > confined our
strolls to theistreets near the park , wherewo
would not ba n .danger of running Into people
we might knoW.
"Aro you still a"member of this church In
good standing ? " d
"Oh , yes.'S,1
"Is your name. ' " still on the membrshlp
"
roll.
"Oh , yes ; 'nobody has ever said anything
against me but DnDrown. . "
"Have you evervhad any personal relations
with Dr. Drown other than you have related ? "
"That's a .leading question. I was silly
enough to bslldve that ho wauld marry me.
Ha admitted jh'msplf he had wronged me. "
"Havo you ever had any criminal relations
with Dr. Drown ? " ,
"I have not saldj that there were not. I am
hero to tell th ? truth. I have been attacked
and It wasa jftea.t ! Humiliation for'me to come
hero and tell ljls-story. I would > huve staid
away had It Hot bc n for Dr. Drown , as
I always thought so much of him. "
Dr. Drown I wish , Mr. Moderator , that I
may bo protected from such remarks as
these.
At this point Attorney Dartnett on behalf
of his client told the council that Mrs. Stock
ton had further evidence for the ears of the
council alone and the reporters retired.
Mrs. Mary A. Davidson was again in the
superior court today to answer the charge
of having extorted J500 from Rev. C. O.
.Drown. The court overruled a motion to
dismiss the Information against tlio defend
ant. The contention of the defense that
the information admitted Mrs. Davidson tp
be Drown's agent was declared by the court
to be an assumption entirely unwarranted.
Mra. Davidson then pleaded not guilty. Her
trial was prcmptly set for March 23 , and a
motion for reduction of ball was taken under
consideration. Mrs. Davidson was then
taken back to the county Jail.

CINCINNATI , Feb. 21. The developments
: n the Fort Thomas horror advanced a few
paces today. Young Wood , who has hereto-
'oro been so reticent , repeated from memory
two letters that he had received from Jackson ,
one dated January 23 and another dated Feb
ruary 5. Ho says that these letters were
shown to his friends at Greencastle , among
them Early the operator , and Dr. R. G. Gll-
lesple the dentist at Greencastle. The > first
letter Is , as nearly as ho can recollect , as
follows :
CINCINNATI. O. , Jan. 23 , 189G.-Helo !
B1K : I expect you. think I have forgotten
you , but I liavo not. I have been awful
busy this week. I have not been over to

The next htter which Wood said he received
from Jacktwn he produces from memory as
nearly literal as possible 'In ' the following
words :
CINCINNATI , O. , Feb. 5 , ISSG.-Hello
Bill : Ho awful carefu ! what you say. I
am expecting trouhjo. Oh : Lord stand by

Wood slid that his friends , Including those
already mentioned , will remember the con
tents of these letters and swear to them. He
says that ho burnejl all the letters. That of
February 5 Bejcmsimaging ; from thp fact
that Wood Knew at that tune that a girl bad

The contents of these letters were reported
to Jackson. JacKaon evaded questions In
regard to the authorship of them , but seemed
to ba very much disturbed. Although Jack-

AMUSEMENTS.
cocooscceocococcccoccecccco
Asseverations of the decadence of Shakes
pearian tragedy as a means of popular enter
tainment , which have been common of late
In view of certain disastrous > entnre In
tl'nt well-tilled field , were refuted In crcnt
measure last night at Boyd's , where Alex-
nnder Salvlnl presented his loudly heralded
ord long cxpsctod "Hamlet" before one of
tt'C larget-t nmKc-nc-s of the season ,
It will bo remembered that the elder Sal
vlnl Included "Hamlet" In Jils repertory ,
that he achieved In the part the success of
a great artist who cou'd do nothing III , but
whoso lasting fame was not augmented by
It for the reason that ho was on Italian , while
Hamlet the Hamlet of tradition and of all
the experience of northern audiences was a
Dane. It was a matter of temperament , the
limitations of which no art , however perfect ,
could overcome. U seems probable that simi
lar considerations will place the Hamlet of
his gifted Ran. admirable In many ways as
the characterization Is , upon a lower piano
of artistic perfection than other parts In
which this young actor will yet win renown
U has been said that no player of average
ability can do Hamlet badly. Far from doing
It badly , Alexander Salvlnl docs It for the
most part exceedingly well. There are many
reminders In It of the Hamlet of his great
father , and like that notable performance
It will fall of ganoral acceptation. Tbat , too ,
was a flesh and blood Hamlet , a stalwart
prince , whose gaspings and whimperings sat
strangely upon his massive shoulders. The
father was handicapped In this part moro
than In others by the necessity of convey
ing the subtleties of thought , the beautiful
refinements of expression In which the play
abounds , by means of a foreign tongue , un-
tntolllglblo to most of his auditors. The
son 1ms no such drawback , having mastered
the unruly English speech to an extent truly
marvelous , and only becoming Incoherent In
the more strenuous passages , where , after
the sudden and quick southern habit , ttic
words seem to tumble over each other In
tholr haste. In the graver lines , however , his
enunciation Is admirably distinct , and his
reading throughout Is studious and well-con
sidered. One does not remember to have
heard the soliloquy delivered with finer ap
preciation or greater depth of feeling. The
standing of the speaker before the drawn
and mysterious draperies at the back Is
especially fore blc , and beautifully suggestive.
There arc many Innovations In this Ham
let and Komo features which seem new but
are only revivals. For Instance , the entrance -
trance ofthe king ami Polonlus during the
"nunnery" ' dialogue nnd the discovery of
them by Hamlet Is a bit of business which
was always employed with fine effect by
Edwin Booth. It Is In strongly emot.onal
scenes like this that Alexander Salvlnl's
Hamlet lays himself open to the charge of
bolsterousness and of forgetting certain portions
tions of his oun advice to the players. In
that wonderfully comprehensive code of In
structions , which applies as closely today as
It did In Shakespeare's time , there Is no
rule regulating the response to encores : but
one marvels that so fine an artist as Alex
ander Salvlnl should allow applause , however
loud , to tempt him to the Indiscretion of re
turning to the stage and interrupting the
action to bow his acknowledgements , after
his Inflammatory parting with Ophelia. If
audiences will call for such unseemly dis
plays they should be taught good manners
and sound art by those who by every right
of birth and training arc tilted to Impart In
struction.
Mr. Salvlnl's supporting company , Judged
by the arduous requirements of Shakespear
ian tragedy. Is not conspicuously rtrong.
Aside from Miss Fitz Allen , whose Ophelia
was generally acceptable , the members did
not rise above mediocrity. The play was
put on with unusual richness for a road
production -and the costumes were elaborate
and correct. Tonight Mr. Salvlnl appears
In his familiar and favorite part of D'-Artag-
nan in his own version of "The Three
Guards-men. " There Is no matinee.
Probably no attraction that comes to Omaha
can claim a more extensive following of
those who like a stage entertainment that
gives them plenty of reason to laugh than
"Eight Dells , " which nlll open a four days'
engagement at Doyd's theater with a
matinee at cheap prices tomorrow ( Sunday )
aitcrnon.
Often as thin combination of farce comedy ,
gymnastics and general jollity has been seen
In this city , each passing season sees
changes for the better In Us many mirth-
provoking scenes. The Byrne- brothers are
jaicl to have lots of nsw and funny buslnjsa
In addition to what Is perennial 'of the old
specialties , and those who can't find
laughter in the ground and lofty tumbling ,
the odd encounters and the thousand and
one merry circumstances crowding through
"Eight Bells" couldn't find it In the dic
tionary. The sale of seats will open this
morning at 9 o'clock.
Beach & Dowers' minstrels will close their
engagement at the Crelghton with two per
formances today , a special holiday matinee
being given at ,2:30 : today at the usual popu
lar prices. A special low admission will be
charged school children at today's matinee.
It has been decided to present "Beau
Drummel , " "A Parisian Romance" and one
other play during the coming two-night en
gagement of Richard Mansfield at the
Crcigliton ,
"Tho Vendetta , " with Its elaborate scenic
effects and exciting situations , will open a
week's engagement at the Crelghton with a
matinee tomorrow. The company Includes
W. R. Ogdcn and a number of well known
players.
Morrison's superb production of "Faust"
will be seen bore at Doyd's theater during
the last three nights of next week. "Faust , "
In both operatic and dramatic form , has al
ways drawn large houses In this city and
It gois without saying that Morrison's pro
duction will meet with the high favor ac
corded it in former appearances. The present
engagement will have new Interest to Us
patrons from the fact that every bit of
scerery and all the costumes , properties and
effects of the Bracken scene have been much
elaborated. This Is especially the case In
the' new and startling electrical effects. In
the church scene a chime of rich toned
bells and a quartet of experienced singers
will be heard , and In the garden scene the
stage will bo filled with Beautiful flowers ,
ferns and plants , which by the Incantation
from Mephlsto , will suddenly glow with hun-
nls of tlnv electric cnarks. Tbo scene ot
the Drocken , with Its weird apparitions ,
Musses of lightning and concluding avalanche
of electric fire , will be glvfn with wonderful
effect. It Is announced that arrangements
have been made to make this scene moro
elaborate In Its terrifying details than has
ever been shown on the stage In this city ,

America , has disappeared with his wife , Maud
U. Booth. Tholr homo In Mont Clalr , N , J. ,
1s closed. Thev have not been at the army
headquarters In this city since Thursday.
Herbert Booth , brother nf Datllngton Booth ,
and commander of the army In Canada , will
take charge of the forces hero today. Ho
offered a reward yesterday to anyone who
would loll where Balllngton Is. The army
Is sttrrod to creat excitement. On the
steamship Teutonic , Wednesday night , Eva
Booth , a sister , arrived from England. Her
bert Doqth was hastily summoned to New
York by Colonel Nlcoll , assistant staff of
ficer of the army , who came here ostensibly
on a mission to Investigate the sentiment ot
rebellion in this country agalnrt the trans
fer of Commander Booth to another sphere
of action. He arrived on Thursday nnd on
that day a court of Inquiry was held by the
three with Dalllngton Booth before them.
The proceedings became heated. There were
charges and Incrlmlnntlitns. Dalllngton Booth
was ordered to proceed at oncu to England.
"I will not co. " he said.
"This Is Insubordination , " replied Herbert.
"You know what that means In the army. "
"Yes , I know. "
"It means dismissal. "
"Then I will accept It , " replied the com
mander.
In the heat of the argument that followed ,
the commander complained bitterly of the
Injustice of hbi father In removing him ar
bitrarily from a field where he had labored
so long and In which ho hopsd to flnlith his
life. Ho made use ot Insubordination and
criticised the general severely.
"This means a trial by court martial , "
cried Herbert Booth , springing to his feet ,
"you have spoken disrespectfully of your
father and your general. I will prefer charges
of Insubordination and disrespect against you.
I move this court proceed to try you for the
words. "
Colonel Nlcoll supported Herbert Booth.
He then made his full authority known. "I
have authority to dismiss you from office , "
ho said , "and to appoint your successor. I
demand of you all of the property of the
army In America In your name. You are
dismissed from ofllce. "
Then Balllngton Booth rose to his feet.
"Lot it mean dismissal , " he said , "I will
never stand It. "
After receiving notice of dismissal , he and
his wife spent the evening packing up their
personal belongings. Tlio keys were turned
over soon afterward.

ho la unable to reoly to many of the letters

press to express his thanks for the kindly
congratulations received and aays : "The

carried on by correspondence. The treat
ment Is very simple ana .can beAdministered
by any physician as well as by me. Under
no circumstances whatever will I allow the

bo scut to his physician only and must be
administered by the physician.
"I decline absolutely to give the patient of
any other physician advice about his caro.
I will gladly correspond with any physician
about his cases. I will sec no patient out

sultant with his physician. Any patient
wishing to see mo must bring a letter from
hla physician asking me to pee him. The
final result of my examination I will hand to
that physician and will uot communicate It
to the patient. Physicians who know their
condition are infinitely bettr-r judges of the
treatment needed than I can be. Their own
physicians have studied their case ; they
know the conditions existing and they arc
the only ones who can say whether asjptolln
will help.
"I am wining to semi a two-ounce bottle of

Improvement of his patients of its value.
"I wl3h to repeat that aaaptclln la not a

merely what I called It a rational treat

Opportunity to Obtain

That the people of Omaha and vicinity ap
preciate tlio enterprise displayed by tlio
World-Herald was thoroughly proven by the
throng that crowded their ofllro yesterday
for a frco sample of Jas. S. Kirk & Co.'s lat
est discovery. Eos ( Elixir of Soap ) .
Rverywhero people could bo heard discus-
sing Kirk's new preparation , which from
this tlmo forth means an entire change In
doing all laundry work.
Think of 111 from now on no soap Is re
quired to do the family washing when Eos
( tlio Elixir of Soap ) Is used.
Kos ( the Elixir of Soap ) Is the product and
discovery of fifty-six years of successful > .ip
making. No discovery In recent years ot
any preparation for laundry use and general
purposes has created the sensation and on-
thuslasm that Eos has.
It may bo Justly termed the treat rcvolu-
tlonlzer for all washing purposes , for both
the laundry and toilet.
Among the claims made for Eos , which
Messrs. James S. Kirk & Co. stand prepared
to prove , are the following :
That It will poften the hardest water ; It
will keep bluing from curdling In the water.
Flannels and \\oolcns washed with this
most valuable preparation will positively not
shrink ; for the bath or toilet It Is indis
pensable , making the water soft and velvety ,
giving the skin a healthy glow and remov
ing any superfluous excretions tbat may ad-
hcro to the body.
For dishes and general washing purposes
It Is very essential , ns It saves both labor
and the scap usually required.
This preparation must not be confounded
with the ordinary soap powders , for while no
swp Is required when Eos ID unjd , It con
tains no lye , ammonia , borax , lime or any
deleterious ingredients. It Is essential that
all consumers of soap must eventually use It.
It Is for the baby's flannels and woolens ;
It acts as a strong antiseptic for Invalid's
flannels , woolens and linens.
Eos saves 100 per cent of soap , which
means that absolutely no soap Is required
when Eos Is used , and savca also GO per
cent of labor.
