Yesterday morning's session of the Trnns-
wlsslsslppl Conference of Charities and Cor
rections was devoted to the consideration of
the subject , "Tho Prison Question. " Five pa
pers were read on subjects connected with
Iho general topic. The president of the Na
tional Conference of Charities and Correc
tions , Prof. C. II. Henderson of Chicago
university , who was unable to bo present at
the earlier sessions of the organization , oc
cupied the chair.
The llrst paper was presented by Rev.
Cyrus Mondeuhall , chaplain of the State re
formatory at Ionia , Mich. His subject was
"Reformatories for Men and Women. " The
substance of his paper was :
No method yet devised Is so mechanically
accurate that you can turn young men and
young women Into the hopper the vilest of
elnnera and put them out of the spout full-
fledged saints. Heredity accounts for a great
deal ot the crime. Environment Is also n
factor ( hut can enter Into the destiny of
men and women for good or 111. Intemper
ance , poverty , idleness , Ignorance , Imparted
social conditions these are the ether fac
tors that enter into the problem. Often
times If we could reform the parents tbe
outlook for the future would bo brighter.
There are cases to make one's heart ache.
Conceived In vice , cradled In shntuf1 , reared
In crime what can > ou expect ? The earlier
the work begins the better. Homo should
bo the best place. The prison Is the poorest ;
plaen to'- reform work. Hut If you have
officials who believe In their work and love 1
It , men who carry respect , this would go
farther than teachings and preachings.
Work I" Slu < - I'rlHiiiiN.
Prof. C. R. Henderson was the next
speaker. His subject was "Reformatory
Methods In State Prisons. " Ho spoke In I
part as follows :
.
If It could be generally understood how
closely related reformatory work Is to re
ligion \\o should have n much more en
lightened condition. If we understood how
the corrupt nn > contagious , If wo paid more
attention to the psychology ot the crowd ,
wo should say that the worst criminal Is
our brother. There Is only one class , the
human class. 1 believe In the Indeterminate
sentence. In a sentence not terminable by
the Judge or Jury , nor by the operation ot
a law. but by thu action of the man him
self. The question we have to deal with
Is how to form now habits for the man who
comes Into the reformatory. He must bo
washed without and within. I believe that
n trade must be taught to every man who
ruters if the state means to reinstate him
la society. Wo want whole men as wardens
und governors of Institutions , . They must
bo strong men all the way up and down. 1
If these conditions exist there will bt ) no
occasion for the quotation. "All hope aban ,
don , ye who enter here. "
"Jails and Workhouses" was the subject
of n delightfully Interesting and Instructive
talk by General nrlnkerhoff. The general is
n man who has spent years In the study ol
this tiartlcular rhsso of reform , and he IE
n recognized authority on all questions te-
latlng to the construction and managemenl
of these public Institutions , having mul ; le
personal Inspection ot all of the prlnclpn 3l
prisons both In this country and Ic Europe
lie accompanied bis address by dmgrami
on the blackboard , Ho took up the sulijcci
\vlth Ryrclnl reference to the new statci
euch ns Nebraska , showing wherein thi
jetem ot couuty jails could be very niucl :
improved both In the management and In
the construction of the buildings. In fact
ho said that the number of Jails in the
United States that are properly adminis
tered could bo counted on the fingers. And
unless they are so they become pcsthouses
of crime. Ho recommended the Ohio plan
for the construction of Jails and drew a de
scription of It. This Is known as the cen
tral corridor Jail , and Is best exemplified
by the one at Columbus , O. The funda
mental principle as that the prisoners are
not allowed to ECO one another. Young men
are not allowed to become familiar with
these teachers of crime the old crooks.
t'oneeriilnn Capital I'liiilislimeiit.
li. I ) . Coucland of Omaha read the next
paper on "Capital Punishment. " It was In
part as follows :
The so-called necessity for capital punish
ment Is little better than the straw puppets
which some vainglorious agitators fashion
with elaborate pains as quixotic antago
nists for their wind-mill onslaughts. And
what little semblance of necessity there Is
Is only the natural result of blind disregard
for nature's highest law. The law cannot
revenge and In its infliction of capital pun
ishment contemplates only the protection ot
humanity against Its repetition and the de
terring of others from Its commission ,
lloth of these desiderata can bo accom
plished without the Infliction of capital
punishment.
Miss Mary Falrbrother closed the session
with a paper on "Women's Christian Tem
perance Union. " The reading and discus
sion of papers will bo resumed Sunday even
Ing at the First Methodist church , when
the subject will be "The Child Saving Prob
lem. " Several of the pulpits will be occupied
by visiting delegates Sunday morning. They
will bo distributed as follows : First Pres
byterian church , Prof. C. U. Henderson ;
Unity church. N. S. Rosenau ; St. Mary's
Congregational church. General H. nrlnker
hoff ; First Methodist Episcopal church , H.
H. Hart ; First Congregational church , Dr.
W. II. Hale.
BOY SHOT BY A POLICEMAN
"M'Veiiteen-Year-Ohl .lolin Coyne n
Victim of an ( MJlerr of the
\ MV Iteuliue.
John Coyne , a boy ot 17 years was shot
I through the arm last night by Patrolman
] Musselman while he was endeavoring to
i escape from an assailant who had attacked
! him In a drunken Impulse. The murderous
i demonstration of the policeman occurred
, after he had railed to the boy to halt and.
a' ' according to Coyne's account , after ho had
' stopped running. The policeman Justifies \
hiniEelf with the explanation that the boy '
j was a fugitive from Justice and refused to
. stop al his command.
i Coyne with several companions had spent
i the evening in the neighborhood ot Twenty-
fourth and Clark streets and when the party '
broke up about 11 o'clock ae started couth on
Twenty-fourth street alone toward his homo
! at Thirtieth and Hurt streets. He had gonu
I a short distance when he saw John Vauness ,
| whom ho knew , sitting In the door of j
I saloon across the street. Ho crossed to
Fpcak to him and had reached the curb when
he was attacked by an unknown man , who
had apparently been drinking heavily. The
t' ' stranger conceived a desire to possess a to-
bacco pouch which Coyne had In his hand ,
but the boy wrenched himself free after re-
reiving several. hea\y blows and started to
run , with his assailant using his unsteady
legs to the utmost In the rear ,
I At this point the Intelligent policeman
| came around the corner and saw the run-
nlng men. What his point of view was Is
. not known , but be determined to stop th <
men dead or alive , Ho nhouted commam !
t and trailed along In the roar until tbt '
,
s drunken man saw an opportunity to turt
into an alley and make his escape. Thi
h' ' boy was still In the field , however , ant
already assaulted by n robber he then took a
turn as the victim of a guardian of the
law. Instead of firing Into the air , according
to a general custom in petty cases of that
sort , Musselman shot to kill , the bullet tak
ing effect between the shoulder and elbow of
the light arm. The heavy forty-four callbro
bullet tore n great hole In the flesh and
burled Itself so deep that no trace of it has
ns yet been found.
Several friends of Coyne , Jack Muller of
2212 Clark street. F. J. Kelpln nnd Mike Mc-
Gulre , were attracted by the two shots fired
and approached to make Inquiry. They saw
that the boy had been shot and asked the
officer to allow his coat to be removed In
order that the seriousness of the wound
might be ascertained. Muaselman showed
his peculiar fitness for n policeman nt this
point also and refused to allow any Investi
gation. Kelpln offered Coyne two matches
so that he himself might make an examina
tion , but the officer ordered him away with
the threat thai ho lee would be put under
arrest. As It was Charles Vanness , who had
witnessed the occurrence from the door of
the saloon , was arrested anil the two boys
were charged with being drunk and dis
orderly nnd with interfering with an officer.
At the pollco station Dr. Ralph probed for
the bullet without success.
ROBBERS HOLD UP A SALOON
Line l | > I'MvtMen Aenlnnt tlie Wall
They Co TlirutiKh
the TIM.
The practice of Saturday night robberies
which kept bartenders In n state of appre-
scnslon several months ago was resorted to
again last night at the saloon ot Charles
Wachtler , Thirteenth and Canton streets.
The proprietor spent the earlier part of the
evening behind the bar In easy reach ot a
revolver , and the robbers apparently awaited
a mo'c favorable opportunity. About 10
o'clock Wachtler left his post nnd engaged
In it friendly same of cards with four men
who were spending the evening In the
saloon. The party waj seated around the
table Intelcsted In the play when II was In
terrupted by three lobbers. Ono of them
entered a rear door and his companions
came from the front , nil disguised with
handkerchiefs bound tigblly Just beneath
the eyes.
They ordered the players to stand up and
form in line against the wall under guard 1
of two revolvers. The third man undertook
the search and first went back of the bar ,
where ho secured $28 from the cash drawer.
i Ho then started an examination of the men
\ ngalnsl the wall and after n careful search
j of the first brought to light 10 cents. This
, seemed rather discouraging and he gave the
task up with the remark that all the funds
I present had probably gone Into the bar-
i tender's till. The robbers then gave orders
, that no ono should leave bis place until
, five minutes had passed and made a bur-
i rled departure. After the Interval men.
tloned had elapsed the victims lowered Ihelr
| arms , but no sign of tbe robbers was evl-
dent from tbo door. They had apparently
I taken a direction toward South Omaha ana
i are thought to have been provided with a
j horse nnd buggy. A partial description was
obtained and Is In the hands of tbe police.

MAN SHOT FOR A BURGLAR
Iop .1. Dillon Itfitrlvon n Mortal
AVoiiiul While HntcrliiK Hit
Hoarding llouiie.
Lee J. Dillon , a resident of Omaha for
several years , was accidentally shot and
mortally wounded last night by 0. P. Andersen - I
dorson , who was under the Impression that'
Dillon was a burglar. Dillon , who Is cm-
ployed on Iho Nebraska side of the river ,
has been boarding with Mrs , Ashton , 220
North Eighth street , Council Bluffs , and was '
on bis way homo when the shooting oc
curred. Anderson , a brakeman on the Hock
Island , lives at 108 North Eighth street , a
short distance south of Mrs. Ashton and
situated similarly In the block. In the
darkness Dillon lost his bearings as ho
made his way along the street at 11 o'clock
and turned In at Anderson's gate under the
belief that he had arrived homo.
The house was dark and after fumbling
with the latch Dillon knocked several times
on the door. No one responded and after a
short Interval Dillon attempted to open a
window near the door. Anderson had become -
como aroused by this time and hurried out
with a Winchester rltle. Ho saw the form of
Dillon outlined against the window working
at the sash and supposing him to be a burglar
fired several times. One bullet passed
through Dillon's abdomen , indicting a
mortal wound , and he was also shot through
the rlsht arm.
The wounded man was carried to the
pollco station , where the slight measures
possible were taken for his relief. Dillon Is
! 35 years old and Is the son of W. D. Dillon ,
| ex-mayor of Nebraska City , Neb. , and a
prominent man in that locality.
HEARD ABOUT HOTELS.
"Albert ! Albert : ! " was the subdued but
Impassioned appeal made by a berated
Shrlner at ono of the local hotels the other
night , and it aroused a number of the
guests who had previously been slumberIng -
Ing peacefully. The hour was about 3
o'clock a , m. , a time when all good Shrlners
are supposed to bo thinking about retlr-
Ing. The party making the call was past
the middle age , and he was standing outside -
side the door of the room which Albert was
supposed to bo occupying. The two had
started out In the early evening together ,
but in the rush which followed had become
separated.
I One or two of the ether guests of the
1 houbc , being touched by the man's apparent
earnestness , Interested themselves BUtll-
clently to go out and Inquire the motive of
his appeal. They were Informed that Alber. '
had taken the key to the room and retired
I and as he could not be roused , the IttU
I caller thought something must have hap
pened to him.
The calls for Albert were repeated , and as
tbo door could not bo unlocked a bell boy
was sent for and put over tbe transom to
learn tbe cause of the troubfe. He found
the room vacant , and so Informed the as
tonished disturber of the early morning
stillness , who then felt fhat Albert roust
have gone to the wrong room , as ho had
taken tbo key out of the office.
Ho failed to attract further sympathy
from tbe other guests , and as he pensively
thrust his hands into his hip pockets while
pondering what ho should do In bis seemIngly -
Ingly insurmountable trouble a foolish look
came over bis face , and he putted tbe key
to the room out of his own pocket. Tc
add to his confusion , Albert appeared upon
tbe scene at this time , before tbe otaei
parties had withdrawn , having Just come
In from his night's festivities.
"How long does It take a man to get a
trunk from the depot in this blankcty
town ? " Inquired a handsome man from out
side the city , who certainly did not appear
to bo one who would permit shrlnlstlc en
thusiasm to get < the better of his Judgment.
"I came to town this morning at 8 o'clock , "
ho continued , addressing t'ho clerk nt the
same hotel where the former Incident oc
curred , "and hero It Is 8 o'clock In the evenIng -
Ing and no trunk in sight. "
"Have you your claim check ? " asked the
clrrk.
"No ; I gave It to one of the boys here ,
and I suppose ho has lost it , " replied the
kicker , his temper evidently rising because
the clt'rk refused to be Irritated.
The boy was called at once to explain the
miitttr. nnd denied ever having received the
check. This only complicated matters the
more , and the complaining guest was In the
midst of a violent verbal explosion , when
in drawing out some money with
which fo pay his bill as a
revenge for such treatment ho found among
a lot ot silver coins the check for the miss
ing trunk.
Another man , who is a member of the
legislature In Illinois , also had a kick com
ing about his trunks. He had kicks com
ing on everything , and whenever hn approached
preached the desk the clerks prepared fern
n roast. He was hero with his family , and
j they were anxious for their trunks. He bad
! been making laws for the Sucker state , and
had assisted In passing the appropriation
with which his state hail built a creditable
building at the exposition , nnd ho was too
Important a man to be trilled with. His
room did "not suit him , the service was
abominable , and the accommodations were
wholly Incompatible with his station In the
world. With such Inconveniences on every
hand he would not trust the bringing of
his trunks from the depot by any ordinary
porter or expressman , but would see to It
for himself. He demanded that the porter
go with him ns valet to push away the
rude crowd , and this request was granted.
He went to the Union depot and called for
his trunks. Ho was asked to show his
checks , and when he produced them they
were found to be the claim checks zlven
him by the expressman In Chicago , nnd
that his trunks were still in the Windy city
waiting for the great man to como and
check them. Ho remained In Omaha two
days after that , but never approached the
office desk until lie was ready to pay his
bill.
A pious man , with a sporting cast of
countenance , but really a minister In u
neighboring state , came to the exposition a
few days ago. He stopped In the residence
portion of tbe city , but on ono of the recent
rainy days ho came down town with his
wlfo to see the city. As the weather was
unfavorable for sightseeing he thought he
would go to ono ot the fashionable hotels
'or a day. He asked the price of tbo room
on the American plan , and when told what
It would be ho thought it was too high for
his ministerial purse. He then engaged
the room on the European plan and re
paired to It at once as a place where he
could rest and hear the buzz of the trolley
and the rattle of tbo cab. Steam had been
turned on and the temperature was so comfortable -
fortablo compared to what It was on the out-
sUlo that ho concluded to spend the nluhl
there. When he came to settle his bill Ir
the morning he found it twice as largo a ;
he had expected. Ho had said nothing nboul
having his wlfo with him when ho engage- ' ,
the room , and the price quoted was made
for him alone. He held that as he hat
rented the room It made no difference how
many ho took to the room with him. Thi
ethics of the hotel business were then dls
cussed In healed laucuage by the lundlon
and the ministerial tenant , and the result
was that a compromise was reached which
was not satisfactory to either.
"Is there any extra charge for a bowl of
vnter and a napkin ? " asked a guest at one
ot our hotels this week with withering sar
casm r.f the clerk. ' The man with the diamond
mend sh'rt stud suspected something was
going to happen , and prepared for emergen
cies. "I have been slopplnc here off and
on for A lung time , " continued the offended
Kuwst , ' ati.l iiuve always paid my b',11. I
have fot-Klit to behave myself In a proper
niauner white In the house , and am suto
I have never entered your dining room In
nn uncouth couii'tlon. ' For that reason I
io ! not see why I should bo lnsultc'1 lv eye
of your 'nigger' waiters. "
"There Is no excuse for It , and If you wilt
tell me which ono It was wo will attend to
It , " replied the clerk.
"Just as I was leaving t'ho table n few
moments ago , " continued the man who had
been Injured , "one of the waiters came und
placed a bowl of water and n napkin In
front of me , nnd I was too Indignant to look
to see which one it was. "
"Well , I will Investigate It , " replied the
clerk with a whore lot of urbanity.
The landlord at ) ono of the hotels ordered
a new pair of trousern from ono of the local
tailors with orders to have them sent to his
residence , when completed , in tlmo for the
shrine blowout. Ho was anxious to appear
well , and laid stress upon the occasion for
which they were to bo used. The tailor
finished the garment In duo seanon , and to
bo exceptionally accommodating delivered
It at the hotel. He thought the customer
would bo more apt to be found there than
at his residence , as It was the mlddfc of the
day. Resides there was something in It to
have the garment opened before a lot of
men such as one finds In a hotel lobby , and
Indirectly advertise his business. The land
lord gave the matter no more thought until
the day of the shrtno parade. Ho then
Inquired for his trousers nnd when told they
had been sent to the hotel ho Instituted
a search. He located the box without much
trouble , but upon openelng It be found other
hands had been there before his , nnd that
the trousers were undoubtedly gracing other
legs than his , for 'the box was empty , am
there was no ono who had witnessed the
transaction. Tbo landlord thinks he Is no
liable for the cost ot tbe trousers , as ho or
dered them sent to his residence , which was
not compiled with , and a pence commission
Is now at work trying to effect n settle
mcnt.

u little ignor

The- woman
who suffers from weakness and disease of
the distinctly feminine organs , whether she
realizes it or not , is being slowly but surely
tortured to death. She suffers almost con
tinually with sick headache. She has pains
in the backwhat she calls "stitches" in the
side and shooting pains everywhere. She
experiences burning and dragging down
sensations. Shu becomes weak , nervous
and despondent. She neglects her home ,
and is petulant with her husband. If she
consults the average physician , there is not
one chance in ten that he will hit upon the
real cause of her trouble. He will attribute
her bad feelings to stomach , liver , heatt or
nervous trouble. A woman in this condl
tion should consult home eminent and skill
ful specialist who has had n wide experi
encc. Dr. R. V. Pierce , for thirty year : *
