MISSIONS IN SIERRA LEONE
Life in the Region Where the Iowa
Missionaries Were Murdered ,
NATIVES ARE ORDINARILY TRACTABLE
Allen M.'Ciillonuli , Who Trenched
Amonc Them Two Yenrn , Tell *
ot Their Wny * nnd Intcr-
courNC with Whlte ,
Those Interested In foreign mission work
arc awaiting with anxiety the details of the
recent reported massacre of missionaries In
the Sierra Leone province on the west coast
of Africa. According to advices from the
British governor of that province , received
May 7 , four and perhaps more teachers lo
cated at American missionary posts were
murdered by n mob of natives and their
houses destroyed. One who Is familiar with
conditions In the province and the relations
which the missionaries bear to the natives
Is Allen McCullough of 3015 Leavcnworth
street , who spent two years In missionary
work there and who was personally ac
quainted with the missionaries reported to
have been killed.
In speaking of the probable causes of the
outbreak Mr. McCullough said that mis
sionaries were cordially treated by the na
tives after the former had once made clear
that their object was not to Interfere with
the liberties of the Africans , to usurp their
land or to act In any way as the agents of
the British government. When the govern
ment announced lately , however , that there
would bo a tax Imposed upon the owners of
huts the natives ore thought to have In
cluded the missionaries In their resentment
nnd to have attacked them because they
were Europeans.
The Sle.rra Leone province , Mr. McCul-
lough says , Is Inhabited by the Tlmne tribe ,
composed of about 200,000 people. The pop
ulation Is divided among seven kingdoms ,
each with a native chief , whose rule * Is simi
lar to that of the Hebrew patriarchs. Th
king apportions the land among his sub
jects , changing the ownership each year anil
the products arc divided by the dlfTcrcnl
families on a communistic basis. The di
vision Is made honestly and the natives arc
considered a gentlu and tractable race , ex
cept when excited by rum or the suspicion
that the British arc endeavoring to dis
possess them of their land. Probably or
this occasion the trouble was brought about
by a combination of the two.
tinrcriiment of the Ilculun.
The British governor of Sierra Leone hat
his headquarters In the coast town of Free
town , a place ot varying population. In th (
rainy season , which extends for a half year
the residents number about 30,000 , a largi
portion being absent In the country to at
tend to the raising of crops. In the dr :
season the foreign shipping and the attrac
tion of a market town bring nn addltlona
20,000 In population. About thirty Euro-
pcans , also , who are willing to cncountei
the unhealthy conditions of the rainy Rca
BOH , are Increased to 150 when the countrj
produce Is being marketed. The govorno :
controls not only the Sierra Leone province
about twenty-five miles to the Interior , bu
also the country to a distance of 300 mile1
from the scacoast. The discipline of th <
territory Is kept up by a regiment of Wcs
Indian , soldiers , which Is stationed at a for
back of the city of Freetown and command
Ing'tho harbor.The outlying country 1
looked after by mounted native police , wh
first have undergone a course of tralnlni
under British officers.
It Is mainly with these native troops tha
the Tlmnes arc now engaged. The toldter ;
has been too strong for them , however , am
displacing them from their position on th
RO'KC ! river , has driven them Into the moun
tains far In the Interior. . The natives Inlan
as far as the headwaters of the Niger rlvei
have been found to be active fighters. The ;
nre superior physically to their kinsmen litho
the coast towns and nre on on average si :
feet In height.
IV lie re the Trouble Occurred.
The mission which suffered most on thl
occasion was that of the United Brethre
In Christ ( Moravians ) at Rotefunk , sixty
five miles southeast of Freetown. It was 1
charge of the women's board of the churo
nnd consequently , with the exception of th
superintendent , the workers were womei
> The buildings Included n school for bet
girls and boys situated about half a mil
apart. Thcro were about sixty boys nnd ti
same number of girls In the mission , each t
work upon a course of seven years duratloi
During the fifteen years of Its existence tl :
mission has graduated three classes an
has never previously had nny trouble wit
the natives. Tha missionaries have tried 1
have It understood that they have no cot
ncctlon with the government , do not look' I
It for protection and htivo no designs <
property acquisition. This , together wit
the good work accomplished , has ahva ;
been sufficient for their protection and whi
unusual Impulse was given the natives i
Incite the , murder of Minister Archer , D
Hatflcld. Miss Cain and others Is not i
yet understood.
Mission stations are quite plentiful In tl
province and very little trouble has bee
met in their introduction. The Church '
England has a post nt Porto Loco , on tl
RoKcl river , the International MUstonai
Alliance Is represented at Magbcll , tl
United Brethren at Rotefunk and the We
leyan Methodists at Rokunso. Roy O. Coi
ding , formerly ot York , Neb. , also has i
Independent station 275 miles inland. Tl
most serious trouble previously met wl
occurred thlrty-flvo years ago when tl
mission of the Church of England was d
etroycd , without Injury , however , to the o
cupants.

8CHUMAN SHUTS OUT O'BRIEN
Irnt ttntiic In the Srrlen Ilefore JuilRc
Fnwcctt Won by the
rrcHlilcnt.
"If you nre ready to play ball I'll um-
. Ire the game , " remarked Judge Fawcctt
as he went upon the bench In his court
room yesterday afternoon.
The players were ready , but as there
were but two of them the pnme was short ,
t was between M. J. O'Brien , erstwhile
manager of the Omaha Base Ball club , and
R. E. Schuman , the president of the or
ganization. Two attorneys acted as coaches ,
Carl E. Herring for O'Brien and E. J. Cor
nish for Schuman , Schuman went to bat
first , having won In the toss up. On his
first play ho scored a three-base hit , which
practically ended the Inning and the game
mtll the September term of court , when
.he other Innings will bo played.
The troubloj between O'Brien and Schu
man dates back eorao weeks. At that time
3'Brlcn was the manager of the Omaha
team. He was fired nnd went Into the
courts , where ho asked for a receiver to
take charge of the financial end of the
Dmaha Base Ball team. He'also asked that
the organization be dissolved , Giving his
reasons for asking for all of these things
tie alleged that he and Schuman entered
Into a partnership for the purpose of put
ting a ball team Into the field. Schuman
was to furnish the finances 'and he was to
do the head work necessary to make the
venture pay.
Schuman's attorney opposed the applica
tion for a receiver and O'Brien's attorney
showed that hovas not ready to go to
trial , owing to the fact that he had been
unable to secure some material testimony.
He asked that an Injunction restraining
Schuman from conducting the affairs of the
team be Issued , to remain In force until
the cnso could bo heard upon its merits.
The attorney for Schuman opposed this
course nnd asked that the injunction be
dissolved and the cnso como up In the reg
ular order. An order to this effect was
entered and hostilities were declared oft so
far as the courts nre concerned until the
next term.

The poultry yard near Twentieth and
Cumlng streets that has been a source of
prolific complaint from adjacent property
owners for the last two years was again
taken under Judicial notice by the Advisory
board yesterday. The board has made sev
eral previous attempts to abate the nuisance ,
but the results have been only temporary.
Recently the complaints have multiplied
and It was the unanimous sense of the board
that the objectionable features of the place
should be summarily eliminated. After
Eomo discussion the secretary was directed
to notify the owners to appear before the
board next week nnd show cause why the
place should not be condemned and torr
down. It was the understanding that thli
was preliminary to vigorous measures.
Manager W. N. Dabcock of the Department
of Transportation of the exposition askcc
the board for permission to dump sweep <

There Is no change In the liquor license
situation , the relations between the council
and the saloon keepers remaining strained ,
It was thought that after the talk Kelly
made at the meeting Tuesday night the
saloon keepers would rush up to the clerk's
otnco yesterday and withdraw their pro
tests against the payment of the occupatlor
tax. Not a protest has been withdrawn , and
the dispensers of liquor are standing pat
The fight will bo resumed nt an adjourned
meeting of the council to bo held tonight
Should nny of thu dealers withdraw theii
protests they will be granted a license pro
vided no other protests are filed. Many ol
the saloon keepers would like to withdraw
the protests bearing their signatures , bul
as the licenses In most cases arc owned b }
the breweries they cannot do this without
the consent of the brewers. A promlnenl
brewer said yesterday afternoon that thi
matter had not been considered yet , bul
possibly some decision would be reachec
today. As for his own opinion , this brewci
did not think that any ot the brewerlci
would consent to the withdrawal of thcli
remonstrances. It this Is the case , the flgh
promises to be aa Interesting one. Council' '
man Kelly asserts that ho will file remon
strances against the saloon keepers fo :
keeping open on Sunday , selling liquor ti
minors , etc.
The way things stand now , the (56,000 pali
In by the saloons Is of no use to either tli
city or the school board , as It cannot b
touched as long as there Is a remonstranc
on file. Mayor Ensor and a number o
the councllmcn were seen last night , an
they all declared that the city will mnko <
fight to a finish , and that It the saloo :
keepers want a license they will have t
pay the fee demanded without a protest.
DlMpOHltloit of Fine * nnd CoMtn.
A detailed statement showing the amount
and disposition at fines and costs Impose
by the police Judge from July 1 , 1896 , t
the close of business April 12 , 1S98 , ha
been prepared by Expert Deck , and Is no'
on file at the office of the city clerk. Th
fines Imposed amounted to $1,389.60 and th
costs I43G.C5 , making a total of $1,885.1 !
For various reasons not halt of this sut
baa found Its way Into the city treasury
It is shown by this statement that fine
amounting to $605.50 and costs nmountln
to $393.85 have been collected and turne
Into the treasury. During thfe period cot
ered by this report the mayor has remltte
fines and costs amounting to $346.50 an
the court has suspended fines and costs I
the sum of $123 , making $469.50 In fines an
costs remitted. > In some cases where fim
were Imposed the prisoner was compelled I
lay tt out In Jail , but these cases foot u
I to only $64. Fines and costs In appealc
cases total $247 , while fines Imposed whci
prisoners were later released on habci
corpus amount to $25.
II This statement of Prof. Beck Is the mo
complete and concise ever submitted to tl
council , and shows exactly where every cei
of the money went to.
On an average ihe police arrest 100 vli
lators of law a month , while the averai
monthly fines and costs amount to on
about $78 a month. This Is considered ve
low In comparison with the number of a
rests , but In so many cases prisoners ha'
no money , the majority arrested being bo
car bums , who are generally ordered out
the city by the police Judge.
Work nt IllKlilond Park.
The park commissioners have about cot
plctcd all of the W9rk that will be done
present on Highland park. Several hundr
trees have been set out as well as shru
of various kinds. Good cinder walks ha
been laid all around and through the pa
and It Is now a very pretty place. The fun
. at tbo command of the commission are abc
exhausted and the plans cannot bo coi
P. pleted until August , when the next Ie
will be available. People living In the norl
ern part of tbo city are quite proud ot tb
park now and many are donating plants a
flowers to ho set out In the beds. Comm
sloncr VanDuicn stated last evening tt
the commissioners would be pleased to t
cept donations of this kind from those w
a felt Inclined to give. With the aid of tht
. residing in the vicinity of the park U
J thought that the work ot beautifying I
park can b completed at very little cost.
Llrrnie Ordluancr.
At the BUKCeitlon ot Inspector Carroll I
present milk and huckster ordinance ! i
to b amended and poialbly modified ,
the milk ordinance now ttaodi a charge
$25 a year Is maM M all persons who sell
milk from a wagM regardless ot the num
ber of cows kepUtfals is considered an in
justice by some wMifcave only a small num
ber of cows and yet/nre compelled to distrib
ute their product ( from a wagon. It is un
derstood that the-1 amended ordinance will
provide n tax basM ( the number of cows
at perhaps 50 cents per head , so that the
vender will pay * license In proportion to
tha amount ot his-revenue. This will make
It'easier for the Unftll dealer white the
owner of a large number ot cows will bo
compelled to pay * much higher rate than
under the present'regulations.
It Is also the Intention to revise the huck
ster's license ordinance so that all classes ot
peddlers will bo taxed. Alt push carts from
which are sold eatables wilt bo licensed , but
the amount to bo charged has not been
agreed upon , although It will most likely
bo about $5. U Is thought that by making
these changes the ordinances will bo less
obnoxious nnd that the revenue of the city
will be considerably Increased ,
InvcNtlirntlon Aunlii Delayed.
The council committee on police did not
commence the Jail delivery Investigation
yesterday afternoon ns Intended for the
reason that It was Impossible for Member
Fnnferllk to attend. The other two mem
bers of the committee , Messrs. Wear and
Crlngen , did not feel like going ahead un
less a full board was present. It was also
stated that some , of the witnesses who
had been notified to attend were not "on
hand. At the meeting of the council to
night the committee will get together nnd
set a date for the hearing.
More l < 'lrcineu Needed.
Chief Smith of the fire department IE
greatly disappointed at the action of the
council In turning down his request for nti
additional fireman. The chief says that he
really needs two men , hut ho could get
along for the present with one more. The
hook and ladder truck Is ready to go Intc
service , but there Is no one to drive It
There Is no money In the fire fund at pres
ent and for that reason the members ol
the council refused to authorize the em
ployment of any more men. It Is thoughl
that the matter can be adjusted In sonic
way so as to give the chief the help needed
Cltr'n
The amount of business transacted nt th <
city offices here during the last two yean
may bo Judged by the following figure :
taken from the treasurer's books : Ne
cash balance April 15 , 1896 , $36,612.30 ; tola
receipts to April 12 , 1898 , $495,559.fi9 ; tola
ot all cash received , $532,171.89 ; disburse

Cents.
As a matter of fact it's easier to pay too imicl ) for
nu article than it is to buy it at the right price. You
don't have to walk BO far. You can go into any one
of a dozen stores in Omaha and pay half a dollar for
the same grade undershirt wo Bell for U5 cents. Half
"a dollar is the easy price. Go-into any store and ask
to see some underwear and the clerk will show you
CO cent goods to begin with and ho may keep going
higher , but never lower. We don't do thai hero.
"We let you name the price you want to payT Like
as not if loft to ourselves we commence by showing
you the 25 cent grade because good underwear for 25
cents is a novelty in Omaha , and it opens people's
eyes. If you ask for something better wo show you
our 35 cent goods. The only difference between it
and anybody else's half a dollar goods is the 15 cents
you save by coming to The Nebraska. That's no joke.
If anybody in Omaha is selling a better shirt"or"draw-
ers for 50 cents than our 35 cent ones , they're keep
ing mighty still about it and they don't show it to
everybody for we've been around to see. Wo have six
different lines of this great underwear at 35 ceiits"
and we want you to come round and examine it. The
underwear season is hero.
