Nelson was really selling liquor on Sunday
and , to give this the appearance ot sin
eerily , they Hied a complaint against Net

In regard to selling liquor on Sunday. Thi
chlof never reported the charge against Ui
three officers to the commission , and tin
case against Nelson was postponed am
dragged along and finally dismissed. Nel
son celebrated the event by giving the offl
ccrs In question n "beer" ban
quct at bis house. On the nigh
of Ontobar 17 , last , another "beer1
banquet was given , this lime at the rest
deuce of Detective Bloom. Nolf on furnUhoi !
the beer on that occasion and the gurat !
filled tip to overflowing. Speeches were
made by Chief Detective Cox and Detective
Dunn , and corks were pulled by the rest ,
Them was another soiree at Sergeant Iler'B
at which the bibulous fluid Is said to have
flowed freely.
It Is not an uncommon thing for a pollen
man to sponge his drinks. This Is espe
cially true In Omaha. The result I ? that th :
policeman gets his drinks for nothing , and
the saloon keeper la then granted privilege ;
specifically and strictly forbidden by the law
nml ordinances. As a result ot this many
of the Falcons keep the fide or back dooi
open all night. Some of the saloons have o
Ixirtendcr who stands watch nil night. There
Is scarcely a saloon In Omaha that observes
the Sunday closing law. Drinks ore sold
Cn Sunday the same as any other day.
This Is a brief story of Omaha as It If
governed. Much moro might be told. With
Saturday night "dances , " unrestrained vice ,
nn Incompetent police force , with crime anil
Immorality driving their deadly fangs Into
the vitals of virtue , It Is strange Indignant
and outraged public opinion has so long been
restrained from asserting Itself.

The action ot the Omaha preachers In resolving
solving themselves Into a lobbying delcga
lion to the state legislature In the Interest !
of the members of the present Hoard of Fin
and I'oMco Commissioners U the subject o
conslderahlo comment. Interest In the matter
tor Is Increased by the fact that at leao
two of the present members ot the board nr
nctlvei factors In two of the churches whosi
pastora have been foremost In the move.-
merit to project the Omaha Ministerial as
Boclatlon Into politics. A. C. Fester Is tin
ma'in financial support of the Hansconr 1'arl
Methodist church. Ho contributed verj
largely toward the present church building
and Is relied on to help make up any doll-
clcmcy In the pastor's salary. Captain II
E. Palmer la ono ot the active members o ;
All Saints' Episcopal church , and whllo hl <
financial contributions are not so Hbcral a :
thoeo of his colleague , ho Is regarded a :
ono of the pillars of the Institution. It Is c
general Impression on the streets that tlu
ministers have been very neatly worked
They seem to bo fllnco.ro In the belief thai
they were only making an effort to retalr
the policy of appointing the incmbera of tlu
pollco board , but on thla basis they havt
been Induced to go on record as endorsing
the administration of the present board tc
the fullest possible extent. They have ever
boon led to take exactly the action that the
members of the present board would havt
ohcacn If they had been allowed to dictate
the whole matter themselves. The minis
ters , however , claim not to bo aware of tlu
fact that they 'have ' been heading a lobby li :
the interest of the Foslor-I'almer-E'Irk-
banner combination.
HAD HUT ONE OBJECT IN VIEW.
The Omaha ministers who signed the poll-
tlou protesting against any change In tht
present Board of Fire and Police Commis
sioners arc a unit In declaring thai thoj
have only -one object In view. That IB tc
counteract a growing oentlment In favoi
of a wldc-opec town during the exposition
They say that the change that they are pro
testing nguln.st la making the mayor n mem
ber of the boaid. In regard to the ( statcmcni
Included In ihelr petition that at no time
have thu pollco affairs ot the city been sc
olllclcntly administered a.i In the pa.st eigh
teen months , they assort that their opinions
are bastd on tin ? fact that there have been
no open gambling houses during that time.
Out of a doien leading Ri'nUtors who were
seen yesterday not ono pretended to dls-
cusj any feature of thu present pollco ad
ministration outside ot the closed gambling
houses ,
Nov. S. Wright Duller of St. Mary's Avenue
Congregational church was one of thu first
ministers to advocate the ministerial endorse
ment of the present board. In discussing the
matter yesterday he paid : "The- whole
thing Is very simple. It all amounts to
merely this : Wo do not want any elective
oincer to ho a member of the board. We
presented this petition because there wus a
law proposed by which the mayor would be a
member. That would bo nil right It wo were
euro of having Just the right sort ot a mayor
Uut we regard the experiment as dangerous
und unnecessary. Wo fear that If the mayor
is given a place en the board It may have a
tendency to bring the police and lire depart
ments Into politics , We arc soon to have a
great exposition .nd It Is not to be denied
that there is a tendency In certain quarter/i /
to advocate turning the town Into a wild
and woolly western city during that time.
rimt wo are nnxlous to avoid. Moro than
that we have not yet progressed no far but
that wo are willing to learn from the metro
politan cities toward the rising sun. Wo
llnd that In such cities cut Bostein and Now
lorlc the mayor Is not a member of the
police commission. That IB the tendency of
modern municipal sentiment. "

He alxo referred to the exposition , and said
that It Wiia feared that If nn elective officer

not care by whom the members ot the hoard

may be , but we ilo not want any elective

Ilov. W , 1' . Murray of the Uunseom Park

ministers that Iho only object ot the peti
tion was to prevent the addition nf un elec
tive oKlcer to the board , lie said th-U ho
had concluded that the present police ad
ministration WAS clllclrnt , from hla own ob
servation. Wl'en he was asked lo give the

that Mr. Foster had ever taken him Inlo hli

Hev. S. D. McCormlck ot Ihe First Prcsby
tcrlan church said that ho was In doubi
whether he had really signed the petition or
which his name appears. Ho did not re
member It , but might have done so. It IK
had It was on the representation that tht

Instead of making them elective.

SECOND LECTURE BY RABBI FRANKLIf
Hiiliiilcnientnr- Ono Deliv
ered llefore ( he Climttiiiiinin Col-
IOBO Two Week * AK but on
Hinne l.lne. of
Ilabbl Franklin ot Tcmplo Israel deliv
ered another lecture last night upon tin
topic forming the subject ot his recent lee
lure bcforo the Clmtauqua college , viz
"Tho Jewish Idea of the Messiah. " The lec
ture was delivered during the regular scr-
vices at the temple on Harney street , am !
was eagerly listened to by a largo audience
composed of the members of the congrega
tion and a number of prominent members
of other churches ,
-opening , Dr. Franklin spoke of the alt
of mystery surrounding much of the early
history of the Jew which seems to be hidden -
den In the mistiness ot the past , hut ho said
thcro was nothing monotonous about that
history. Ho asserted that the history of the
Jew stands alone that- there * Is nothing
that binds It to the story of other nhtlons ,
All of the great nations of the world , he
said , stand united In accepting him who
came to redeem man from sin , but they
gnzo with suspicion upon the nallon which
rejected him. The speaker said this was not
remarkable when It wa considered how the
[ > eople of all these nation ? have been taught.
Ho said they have all been educated to re
gard the Jew as ono who stands apart from
the rest of humanity , ns Is beflltlng In one
who had rejected the Savior. This feeling ,
ho said , was not only common to the
masses , but from Ihoso from whom more
tolerant Ideas might bo expected.
Dr. Franklin said bo wished to supple
ment what he had to say to a mixed atull-
enco a few weeks ago , and would explain
: ho Jewish Idea ot the Messiah. Owing to
ho great breadth of the subject be said bo
would only bo able to touch upon the most
sallont points. The history ot the Jew , ho
said , was n record of suffering , oppression
and persecution. Driven from this land by
.ho tyranny ot a despot , and from lhat by
the oppression of the fanatic , the Jew could
call no land his home. Ho might lie down
n peace ol the going down of Hie sun but
lid not know whether the rising sun would
jrlng peace or disaster.
AUI3 AT BEST BUT TOLERATED.
Touching briefly upon history , the speaker
said that up lo Iho time of Iho destruction
of the tcmplo during the rclgn of Cyrua
hero had boon a centerof Jewish national
Ife. The temple at Jerusalem was the na-
lonal capllol , but Hainan bigotry destroyed
his last mark of natlonallly. ttuln
narkoJ Iho place where the tcmplo had
stood and from that tlmo the Jews scatlercd
over nil lands. No land extended a wel
come to the wanderers and at best they wcro
but tolerated. The Jews of the different
nations each have a history to tell of mls-
forluno and oppression , but the speaker
said he would not touch on that pbaso of the
question.
Uesumlng the thread of his discourse the
speaker said the destruction of the temple
did not destroy the Jewish hope of seme
ono to redeem the nation It did not deprive
: hem of their God. They wcro sustained
) } the hope that truth must conquer falsity ;
heir eyes and bopcs were still centered on
Palestine , and they waited patiently for the
time when they should be gathered there
again. Every Ihought of a redeemer was
associated with the hope of restoration to
temporal power. They thought to be gath
ered again at Palestine and be restored to
.heir old position among the nations , and
they could see no other way. In the early-
days In Egypt and afterward In Babylon ,
: hey had prayed for the fame thing , and it
had come to pass , and they thought the sama
experience would ho repeated when the
iropor tlmo came. The doctor said that
n the light of later days It Is easy to ECO
the error of this belief , and the hand of Cod
nay bo seen In this scattering of the race
all over the civilized world.
The speaker then referred briefly to the
nany pscudo messlahs who had arisen among
.he Jews , and others who had come to them
from other nations , deluding them with false
> roriilses , and Inciting sedition and conspiracy.
He said the temper of the times demanded a
nesslah. and many unprincipled men took
dvantage cf this cpportunl y , thus offered , to
nlslead the people and endeavor to advance
hemsclvcs. He referred somewhat In detail
o the principle of these false prophets , some
of whoai flourished as late ns the beginning
of the present century. There was one com
mon element In all these cases. In Jewish
bought every idea of the mesalah appearing
vas closely related to the restoration of
ho national entity and temporal power , and
IIGEO pseudo mcEslahs all worked with this
dca uppermost.
As ages passed , however , the speaker
aid Jewish thoughts and hopes had under
tone many changes. The Jews no longer
ook forward to Palestine ; they no longer
expect a soldierly mosslah to lead them
mck to regain the promised land by brute
orce and power. The events ot history
mvo changed this.
VANISHING GLORY OF SPAIN.
Of all the edicts ever Issued against the
Jews , the speaker said none were as far
reaching or fraught with as much Importance
as thai when. In ll)2 ! ) , Torrjumada , Iho
grand Inquisitor , persuaded the king of
Spain to order all the Jews from the counlry.
Hohbed of all their worldly goods to feed
the greedy Spaniards , Ihey left the land
In which they had enjoyed their golden ag >
In literature , education and the arts , to seek
now hc-nios. With them went the glory cf
Spain , never to return. That suffering was
the beginning of a new perloj of messianic
appearing. When Columbus sot foot upon
the shores of the Western hemisphere the
messlah came with him. America Is the
Palestine of the modern Jew ; the land where
nvory man may enjoy freedom of thought :
Iho land of promise.
In conclusion the doctor epnho as follows :
"I bellovo the light Is God's Messiah , I
belfovo that truth and liberty and brothcr-
liood are refulgent beams streaming In efful
gent splendor from the central sun. TIs
Iruo Ihey have nol yet penelrated all the
: artb , but In the fullness nf tlmo they shall
io so. The light of liberty and equality
shall yet break the darkness of Russian op
pression , ot Austrian fanaticism , cf German
bigotry , and of narrow mlndedness and big-
it ry and wrong wheresoever they may Dhow
themselves. The lime will come and then
[ he meselnnlc era will bo here , when , as
it the beginning , thcro sounded the creative
ind prophetic words : 'Lot there be light ! '
5o , from the ends of the earth and from every
corner of the globe Inhabited by man , shall
there resound , as though It were an echoing
inswer to these words divine , 'And there was
light ! ' flight everywhere. "
VelirnNka Corn All IllKlit.
OMAHA , Jan. 29. To the Editor ot The
lee : In a recent Issue of your paper an Item
ippeanv ! quoting an assistant general freight
igent a > > raying lhat ho had Just ro turned
'ram n trip through Nebraska , and whllo out
look pains to make a thorough examination
if the corn stored In cribs and lying on the
ground about the state , Ho goes on to say
[ hat "thn conditions could not bo much
A-nree ; that there has been so much rain
ihn corn Is rotting on the ground , and that
it cannot bo moved east , for It would not
iclt for enough to pay the expense of handIng -
Ing It , and cannot bo moved south for the
pason that It will spoil In transit , and that
f It remains In Nebraska It will rot. "
These statements are misleading and likely
: o do great Injury among pt-oplo outside of
Ms state who do not know the facts. I am
n no way Interested In transportation , nor
n the employ of any railroad , but for the
ast month or two have been traveling up and
! own through eastern Nebraska , both by rail
mil by team , In the country , and know the
ondlllon of the corn crop thoroughly. The
acts are that Nebraska never raised a larger
: rep of merchantable corn , anil the great
niIk of It U now stored In good cribs ready
.o be moved when the market price will
ustlfy.
It la fortunately true that there has been
in unusual amount ot rain for this ncaiion of
be year , and the country roads , while not
Impassable , have not been In their usuj
good condition. U Is at the same time trti
that thcro has been much soft and dam
corn forced utpon the market. This come
chiefly from renters and a few Improvldcr
farmers who , for lack of cribs In which t
store , have piled their corn upon the groum
depending upflA the dry weather that Is cits
ternary at Hhla season of the year. Thl
corn Is , oticctursc , damp , damaged and I
poor condition for market , but the farmer
who are thus Improvident are the very one
who are compelled to turn whatever the
have Into money at the first moment U cai
bo forced uppn ; the market , and at whatovc
price It will bring.
There Is..a ilttle corn , perhaps not eve
5 per cent.to 10 per cent of the whole , tha
from Into planting , or replanting , did no
fully mature and Is not ot good quality , bu
this Is also most likely to be found In th
hands of those who are least thrifty , and I
being forced upon the market.
The great bulk of Nebraska's Immens
crop of corn this year Is of choice quality
soune1 and well filled , stored In good crlba
and nt the proper time such portion of 1
as Is not needed for feeding In the neighbor
hood will bo marketed In good condition am
wilt bring Into the state within the next fcv
months large sums of money.
Doubtless the freight agent who reportci
such an alarming situation was mlslnformci
and made but Blight Investigation , but tin
general Impression created by his statcmcnti
Is erroneous and likely to do harm am
should not pass without correction.

1MUVATI3 IIYI'.VOTIO KMIIIIITION
Prof. ItpynnlilM ( Siren 1111 Knli-Hnln
itiont In The Ilov lliillilltiK.
Prof. Reynolds , the hypnotist who has beci
giving a series of cntcrlalnmenls In Crclgh
ton hall , gave a private exhibition of hli
hypnotic powers In the editorial rooms o
The Bee yeslcrday aflernodn. Ho took a
his subject Art Adams , who Is a local hyp
nolle artist of considerable success.
The exhibition began with the- professor li
bis room In the Merchants hotel and his sub
Ject In the editorial rooms. The latter tool
a scat In a chair and the professor begar
lo operate upon him. In a few minutes the
subject began to yawn and then went Into
a cataleptic sleep. He was In that condition
when the professor entered the sanctum n
few minutes later.
As a result ot the experiment lAdams was
excited and did not prove to bo as good a
subject thereafter. Nevertheless , the pro
fessor succeeded to a considerable degree.
Among other things ho cau&rd the pulse In
ono ot Adams' wrlsls lo boat twelve times
a iinlnute faster than It < lld In the other.
Ho also destroyed his sense ot Miiell so that
the subject was apparently unable to
sniff ammonia. He caused lapses in the sub
ject's memory , so that he would stop In
the middle ) of r. song and then a 'moment '
later , at command of the professor , would be
gin again vlth the word and note with which
he left ott. One of the amusing portions of
the entertainment occurred when the pro
fessor compelled the subject to literally
laugh on ono side ot his face and cry on
the other. Ono check was bedewed with
tears while the other was wreathed In smiles.
One of Adams' arms was also so paralyzed
by the professor that he felt no sensations
when It was < pinched.
The seance was witnessed -by a consider
able number ofi the editorial force ot The
Bee. Dr. Gharlds Rosewaler was also an In-
leresled speclalor , and , nt the request of the
professor , niade observations ot the experl-

MADRID , Jan. 29. ( New York Worli !
Cablegram Special Telegram. ) The WorldV
account of negotiations at Washington be
tween Spain's minister , Scnor do Lome , and
Secretary of Stale Olncy with reference la
arranging a treaty ot peace In Cuba Is com
mented upon with great Intcroat and spirit
by the Madrid press. The general Impres
sion among statesmen and diplomats bore
Is that the American government baa been
constantly kept acquainted with Iho condi
tion ot Spain since the I'orto Ulco reforms
wor.o published.
Novorthele n the Imparclal , the Literal ,
the Globe , and even the ministerial Naclonal
assort today that they are olilclally author
ized to deny the existence ot any treaty ,
agreement or oven olllctal understanding be
tween the two governments. It la noted
that the present favorable aspect of the
military operations reported by General Woy-
lor shows Spain to be In a better position
than over lo be Iho solo judge of Hie extent
ot the colonial reforms , the date of pulling
them Into effect and the mode of oxexjullng
the program drawn up without foreign In
terference1. Ofllclal contradlcllon Is also
authorized of the rumors of negotiation ! )
with the Cuban leaders or the Junta In Iho
Unllod States.
According lo all private advices from
Cuba , Influential West Indian representa
tives assure mo the Insurgents have split up
In bands all over the Island , with Instructions
from Maximo Gomez to husband ammuni
tion and keep up a guerrilla warfare , raiding
plantations whenever contributions are re
fused until the rainy , unhealthy season begins
In May.
The Spanish protectionists have been as
sured thai Ihe American reports concerning
. 'iigagomenLs with the United States affecting
: ho colonial tariff are greatly exaggerated
jocauso Spanish parliaments nnd govern
ments will rntaln thn right to pronounce
on the suggestions of tbe smaller assemblies
ibout tarlfta and the right to make a Ireaty
with the United States , which cannot take
definite shape until McKlnley and Sherman
are In ofllco.
The marquis of Apczetcguta , chief of the
Cuban conservatives , on landing at Cadiz ,
made the following Important declarations :
"The war cannel be ended promptly by
force of arms alone. Pollllcal action Is
expedient. Reforms must be sincere and
extensive to produce a quick and definite
pacification. The Iriumph of Spain would
then bo certain.
"It Is Impossible to say how long the
struggle Is likely to last , particularly In the
eastern provinces , where the rebels overrun
the bulk of the territory , and In the rest of
the Island a revival of the Insurrection may
occur when the rainy season comes , though
the province of I'lnar del Illo Is actually
nearly padded. The splrll of the army is
excellent , and Its numbers are sufficient If
foreign complications are averted. I con
sider Captain General Weyler a competent
commander , but not equal to the lask ot
being governor-general. I consider unwise
bis sevcrlly with Iho planters and the rural
populallon parllcularly , who musl find
work or Join the rebellion. He should real
ize lhat Ihe crops are the beat auxiliary to
paclllcatlon.
"Tho ecoaiomlc condition ot the colony Is
deplorable. The future depends cnllrely upon
Ihe plan of reconslructlon. which must be
rigorous to revive the principal sources of
colonial prosperity , which , though much im
paired , are not annihilated. The selection
of a proper person , to conduct these reforms
ot reconstruction after a struggle Is ex
ceedingly difficult , as It Is generally not al
ways possible for the leader who Inflicted. Ihe
wounds lo heal them. "
On parting General Weyler Jokingly told
the mareiuls of Apezetegula : "Adieu ! Lei
my recall come BOOH. " These words Apezete
gula takes to signify that Weylor only con
siders himself competent for military mat
ters.
ters.The marquis of Apezetegula , whllo admlt-
ling lhat deficiencies exist In the military
commissariat In Cuba , bolloves these dim-
cullies have been much more exaggerated ,
and says lhat Iho Cuban loyalist parties
sincerely co-operate with the Spanish cause.
The marqute will arrive at Madrid on
Sunday. At his request the cabinet will ciot
publish reforms until they hear his opinion
the contemplated commercial
on the same and on
mercial trealy with the United Statey. Both
will bo carried out anyhow.

NEW YOIIIC , Jan. 29. A dispatch to the

to the Paris Gaulols' attacks against the
Franco-Russian alliance , Ihe NovoslI said :
"Before Its alliance with llussla Franco
only played a secondary political role for
twenty years. After It she at once rose to
the first rank. " Passing to the material
side , the Novostl calls allentlon to what the
Chinese government has ceded to Franco
and the support Hussla has given Franco
In the Egyptian question , and also at Con
stantinople. The attacks which have re
cently been delivered by the Figaro nnd the
Gaulols caused high feeling hero and have
bean the reason why so much stress Is
being laid upon the visit of Count Mura-
vlou1 , which Is being opposed In the Btrong-
cat manner. It Is oven hinted that the op-
porlunlly of Iho count's visit will be taken
to como to an understanding with France
on the eablcrn question. It Is well known
hero that what friction thcro Is comes from
the resentment of the French bondholders
who own , according to M. Cameron , CO per

most actively favor the financial commis

CARSON. Nov. , Jan.29. Assembly bill No.
S , Intended to permit Corhett and Fltzslm-

governor having signed It. When asked K
ho ever had any thought ot vetoing It , ho re
plied :
"I watted to sec what a majority ot the
people teemed to want , Intending to be en
tirely guided by their wishes. This policy
I have pursued to thu end , nnd because the
people were In favor of the bill I signed It.
Ot the merits of arguments made against the
glove contest bill , 1 have nothing to say. A
majority of our citizens eccmcd In wish It
and 1 have signed It. That Is nil there Is
to It. "
Mr. Wheelock Is In San Francisco now , but
before his departure bo refused to say any
thing concerning the location of the fight
If It came to this state at alt. That It will
como to Nevada seems almost certain , but
Carson and Ilcno both claim to bo the
favored spots In which It will actually occur.
SAN FRANCISCO , Jan. 29. Now Hint
Governor Sadler of Nevada has signed Iho
prlzo fight bill , It Is accepted as a settled
fact hero that the Corbctt-Fltzslmmons fight
will bo held cither In Ilcno or Carson. Doth
places are bidding for It , but until Dan
Stuart gives the word no ono will know
which ot thu towns Is to bo selected. Reno
Is on the main line ot the Central Pnclllc

Our I's ore just as strong ns
they were fifty years ago , when
we have cause to use them. ' I
( .
But we have less auel less cause
to praise ourselves , since others
do the praising , nut ! we are
more than willing for you to see
us through other eyes. This
is how we look to S. P. Boycc ,
wholesale aud retail druggist ,
Dulutli , Minn , who after a
quarter of a century of obser
vation writes :
"I have sold Aycr'fl Sarsaparilla -
rilla for more thnti 35 years ,
both at wholesale nnd retail ,
and have ucver heard anything
but words of praise from my
customers ; not a single com
plaint has ever reached me. I
believe Ayer's Sarsaparilla to
be the best blood purifier , that
lias bccti introduced to the gen
eral public. " This , from a
man who has sold thousands of
dozens of Ayer'a Sarsaparilla ,
is strong testimony , But it
only echoes popular sentiment
the world over , which has ,
"Nothing but words of praise
for Ayer's Sarsaparilla. "
