as many noncommissioned officers as might
bo deemed necessary.
The club starts out under the most au
spicious circumstances and seems destined
to bo a striking feature of the campaign.
All of the officers have had experience In
military affairs extending over several years
and many of the members belong to the local
military organizations nnd are proficient in
drill , so that the club Is already a well
drilled company. The uniform selected Is of
white duck , consisting of blouse , trousers
and cap , nnd each man carries n fiambenu of
the most Improved type , throwing a flame
to u height of nearly twenty-five feet.
Applications for membership have been
pouring In since the club appeared on the

having a battalion organization.

Who ANNiiultiMl Her Child.
George House is still being held on sus
picion of being the man who assaulted the
7-year-old daughter of L. A. Rossltor.
Yesterday morning House acted very much
like other deaf and dumb men , but tbo police
are confident that he was arrested several
months ago , when ho was neither deaf nor
dumb. This Is only a supposition , however ,
and Is discredited by the persistency with
which the man remains deaf and dumb.
In answer to a written question yesterday
morning House wrote that ho had been in the
city only a week , having como hero from
DCS Molncs. Ho says he Is a German and
that ho has been in this country five years.
Ho has been out of work and ho stated ho
had picked up a subslstenco by selling his
cards. Ho denied most positively that he
had over attempted to harm or had even
seen thu little Rosslter girl , or had ever ect
eyes on Mrs. Rossltcr.
Mrs. Rossltcr , however , Is positive- that
10 Is the man. She \vns at the police station
yesterday morning to get a daylight view of
the fellow and Identified him. She says she
cannot bo mistaken , as slio had her hands on
liim and shook him after she caught him.
"You are the \lllaln , " she told House re
peatedly. House did not seem to under
stand and stared vacantly , but became
nervous under the scrutiny. Finally ho
wrote , "What do you want ? " Ho was In
formed of the charge , and answered that
ho "had nothing to do with' It. "

MAYOR CHANCES HIS HIND
Not So Anxious to Get Winspear Out as
Ho Was ,
RUMOR THAT THE PAIR HAVE MADE UP
After HnlitlitK n Confrrcner tlic Mnjor
I > eelilt-(4 to Allow tlic 1'reniMit
Sewer CoiniulHMloner to Con
tinue In Olllce.
There are rumors floating about the city
haU which are somewhat startling In con
nection with some of the events of the last
municipal campaign. Their substance con
sists In the allegation that Mayor Broatch
and Sewer Commissioner Wlnspcar have
become reconciled , that Wlnspcar Is to re
main undisturbed In his position , and that
the appointment of John T. Clarke , us chair
man of the Board of Public Works , will
continue to repose In Cadet Taylor's Inside
pocket. Whether the facts are as stated Is
not admitted by the principal persons con
cerned. It is n fact , however , that the
mayor nnd Mr. Wlnspcar have had a con
ference very recently , and the information
that the pipe of peace was smoked nt thnt
time comes from the most reliable spurce.
The story Is somewhat surprising to those
who nro familiar with the long fight thnt
the mayor has wnged ngalnst the sewer
commissioner. During his campaign ho re
peatedly declnred that whatever else he
failed to do , "ho would get Jim Wlnspcar's
scalp the first Jump In the race. " But when
the tlmo came ho discovered that Winspear
had been building fortifications thnt appar
ently defied assault. Then he was un
fortunate In selecting ns his candidate
Mr. Clarke , who was objectionable to n
number of persons whoso Influence with
councllmeii was notorious. Somehow the
council seemed strangely reluctant to act
At first the vote on confirmation was held
back by Clarke himself because he could not
got all of his supporters together at anyone
ono meeting. In this also the manipulation
of the above mentioned Influences was ap
parent. Finally other excuses were utilized
with the result that the appointment hns
remained In the hands of the committee for
two months , despite the most strenuous
cfTorta of Mayor Brcatch to have It acted on.
It ls now stated on the authority of a
councilman who Is close to the throne thnt
the mayoi- has decided that In view of his
ambition for re-election it will bo wiser to
forego his revenge and get Winspear on his
side. This official says that through the
offices of mutual friends n meeting was ar
ranged and that It resulted In a practical
agreement to suspend hostilities. The
mayor is quoted as saying that ho had no
particular objection to allowing Winspear
to remain. He had done all that could be
expected for Clarke. He had discharged his
obligation to him and ho had no one
else whom ho was anxious to appoint.
John T. Clarke did not appear to be sur
prised when asked what ho knew about the
new arrangement. He said he knew that
the mayor and Wlnspc&f had had a confer
ence , but ho did not care to say anything
about what It had resulted In , Ho still had
twelve councllmen pledged to vole for him
and ho expected the matter would bo
brought to a head very soon.

OMAHA , Neb. , Sept. 12. To the Editor
of The Bee : In the report of the meeting
of the Omaha Retailers' association , appear
ing In The Bee of the 10 Inst. , I find the
following erroneous statement : "In answer
to an Inquiry , it was stated that the C per
cent reduction In flro Insurance would not
bo effected until January 1 , 1897. "
In fairness to the Insurance companies I
desire to make n correction of the above
statement. The 5 per cent reduction In flro
Insurance rates secured through the efforts
of the Retailers' nssoclntion has been In
force Upon all Insurance written since the
5th day of June , 189C.
A further reduction of rates will undoubt
edly bo made as soon as the needed Im
provements recommended In the fire depart
ment cnn bo secured as set forth In the
committee's report upon the question of
rates , as published last Mny. This cannot
bo dona until the levy for 1S97 Is made. The
statement made at the meeting referred to
was to the effect thnt no further reduction
In rates could bo expected until after Jan
uary 1 , 1S97. H. O. 1JEATTY.
