For many a weary moon .Omaha sporti
have wended somewhat . weary way south'
word to the Magic City In rho iiopo of wit
nessing -fistic mill on the level , but on
every Oceanian they have been regaled with
n rehearsal of a fake that has been toe
coarse to pass muster. Last night , how-
every , a select ! few who had the gumption
to toco the stinging whips of Boreas hail the
pleasure of witnessing In the home of the
South Omaha Athletic club a stuffed mill
uolree which was conclusively on the square ,
Inasmuch as one. of the main participants
was sent to the Queonsberry limbo
Hilly Walker , a pugilist who baa made 111 ;
homo In this city for some months , was the
individual who was given the ticket ol
transportation Co a ten-second lodging on the
floor of the roped arena and It was fur
nished by the good right glove of Andy Du
pont , a hcavyttvlght of Kansas City.
It waa not a scientific bout by a good deal
but the knuckle warriors were well matched
claret was spilled , plenty of Sharkcy wal
lops were exchanged and consequently the
rather small crowd departed with the satis
faction that they had fully received thcli
money's worth. The affair passed on
Bmoothly. Harry Motmhan , nn exponent ol
the fistic art who halls from San Francisco ,
acted as an acceptable referee , even thougt
bo overlooked llttlo encounters rhat bore the
nspcct of fouls. As has been Inulmated , sci
ence waa at something of a discount In the
affair and minor breaches of Queensberrj
etiquette wero'entirely Ignored by the crowd
Diilinnt I'uruL-N the 1'lulit.
Dupont compelled Walker to break ground
nlmost from "the commencement of the bout ,
The first round was not of a disquieting
character but even In this Dupont gave o
hint of the outcome of the affray. In the
second the Kansas City fighter landed re
peatedly on the enemy's vlsago and finally ,
Just before tlmo was called , ho landed .1
wallop on Walker's noao that caused the
gore to flow. This blow really started
Walker along the groggy way that ended In
Ills downfall , but he put up a game flght In
the remaining rounds of the bout. In re
taliation , Walker sent In one or two Intc
Dupont's short ribs , but the Kansas City lad
had n clever but unsatisfactory way ol
dropping upon his knees to escape the swing ;
and rushes.
In the third round Walker rushed his man
to the ropes , but ho could not take ad
vantage of the opportunity and before the
round closed Dupont was raining blow upon
blow on his frontispiece. Walker was ex-
licctoratlng claret when ho retreated to his
corner. The minute Interlude- mended
Walker's bellows and ho returned to the
game with energy , but his blows lacked
Htcam. Ho uppcrcut and swung , but the
blows when they landed did not appear tc
Iihazo the flgher from the Kaw. On the
other hand , Dupont watched his opportunlt >
and In each round drove homo some punches
principally on the face , that counted.
Out III tinThirteenth. .
The bout coi.ilnued In this way until tin
twelfth round , although Dupont once ap
piled his left poultice to Walker's heat
with eulllclent force to 'keep the latter 01
the ground , for the full ; ten seconds , litho
the final round of the tragedy ( Dupou
Htartcfl to wind up matters' . He rushet
Wnlkor repeatedly , landing blows on heui
and body. The buffeting was plainly mnk
Ing the local man groggy and finally tin
point of his jowl was made the termlnui
of a swlpo from his opponent's right tha
brought him to > the floor. This nettled tin
battle of the folded digits , for when the tci
BPConds was counted Walker was still lylni
In a trance on the platform and had to In
carried to his corner. Dupont was there
fore declared the winner of the $100 purse.
Dupont was seconded by Jim Ilrady , E <
Kearney and Oeorgo Nolan , , while Walke
had Ed Nobles , nilly Lambert and Ilarr ;
O'Neill for seconds. Before this main even
ot the evening a four-round prellmlnar ;
was given by Jimmy Adams and Hill ;
Lambert , which resulted In a draw. At th
conclusion of the main bout Adams chal
lenged Dupont.
Shortly after the close of the fight Walke
lost consciousness and was In that condltloi
at 3 o'clock this morning. Physicians workei
over him for some tlmo and had consider ,
able doubt about his recovery.

There was a deal of discussion stlrrei
up at last night's meeting of the Board o
Education by Van Glider demanding wh ;
the resolution adopted at the previous meet
Ing , opening a room In the Davcnpor
school , had not been carried out. Dr
Moore got through a motion to rcconsldc
that action , but the board again decldci
to open the room by a vote of 4 to 10. It re
fused to reconsider the room In the Amble
school. Some of the members of thq bean
thought the opening of these addltlona
rooms means simply an extra expense o
| 2,000 a year for extra teachers , Janitors
services and other Incidentals , whereas th
children might do better In the way of In
atructlon by going to the larger school :
near by , the Davenport being fully as dls
tant to many of them.
The High school question did not comi
up. save that Mr. Penfold reported in
formally that the attempt last Friday nigh
to bavo a mass meeting at the Commcrciu
club rooms had proved a failure througl
want of attendance. Jt was decided to havi
the mass meeting which It is Intended ti
hold next Friday night In the city hall ( ii
the council chamber If that can be obtalnci
for the purpose ) better advertised by tlmel ;
notice In the schools and otherwise. Thi
special committee * on the High school bondi
was 'therefore ' continued until next Monda :
so as to 'take advantage of a publlo cxprcs
slon as to whether there shall be one largi
or three small High schools at the Frlda ;
night meeting. This committee will hoh

An Inquest to Inquire Into the circum
stances of the accident that resulted In the
death of llttlo G-yeur-olJ Ignazzlo Hossc
last Friday was held yesterday afternoor
In the office of Coroner Swnnson. Ten wit
nesses were present to give testimony , bill
as only two saw the accident from begin
ning to end and as the others were unable
to tell anything that would shed additional
light on the subject , only six were exam
ined , the rest being excused. The two whc
gave all the details of the affair were
Oeorgo Christiansen , the motorman on the
car which struck tbo child , and William
Edghlll , a policeman who was riding on the
front platform of the car when the accldenl
occurred. The testimony of these two met
agreed practically In every respect.
Edghlll was the first witness called. HI ;
story of tbo accident was that the little
Ilosso boy was running In the- same direc
tion as the car was moving , up the hill , bul
at a faster gait and headed across the track ;
that tbo child ran around the corner of the
car and In front of It and would have
crossed In safety had he not stopped when
the motorman sounded the gong and faced
tha car. The brakes were Instantly applied
and the car stopped before It had gene tor
feet farther , but not In tlmo to save the
llttlo fellow's life. Edghlll testified thai
the boy was not seen until ho was square ! ;
upon the track and from the way ho was
running ho could not have been seen be
fore. The story of the motorman was prac
tically the same. It was shown that the
car was moving at a moderate rate ol
speed and that the policeman and the mo-
tormanl were not holding a conversation , a !
bad been stated shortly after the accldenl
occurred. The conductor and three passen
gers were examined and their testimony
substantiated the evidence given by the
others.
As It was pretty well established by the
evidence that the car's crew was blameless
In the matter the Jury's verdict to thai
effect waa expected , but as no questions
had been asked with reference to the equip
ment of the car with life-saving guards 01
to the probability of death being prevented
In this case by such equipment , the parl
of the verdict charging the street car com
pany with criminal negligence for not pro
viding such guards was something of a sur
prise.
The verdict returned by the Jury , aftei
having been out for about half an hour , was
that the child died from Injuries received
In the accident , but from the evidence II
could not bo found that the motorman 01
conductor were In any way responsible ,
Continuing , the Jury expressed the bellel
that the street car company was crlmlnallj

The regular monthly meeting ot tbo Min
isterial union was held In the lecture roorr
of the Kauntze Memorial Lutheran cburct
yesterday morning at 10:30. : Owing to the
stormy weather there waa not so large ar
attendance as usual. After the transactor
of routine business Rev , L. Groh , pastor o
St. Mark's Lutheran church , read a paper 01
' Methods of City Mission Work , " which wai
in part as follows :
For all wo have to do there Is a rlghl
method and an improper one. Succeasfu
mission work must bo varied according te
the people we mean to benefit. The volatlli
Frenchman , the treacherous Italian , tin
true-hearted Scandinavian , the self ,
complacent Drlton , the stubbornly couslsten *
German , the witty , blundering Irishman
must all bo approached In their own waj
to do them any permanent sood. T > choosi
the best ninthods requires much wisdom. I
must be that which comes down from 01
high and not that which Is earthly , sensua
and devilish. The prayer of all must bi
"Lord Jesus , grant us that which enlighten !
the mind , purlflcc the heart , bplrltuallzes tin
affections and elevates the roul. "
What concerns us Is how to do tbo worl
here. Every true believer is a missionary
He will ask what he must do and where li
his field. What U right at our door Is nt
doubt providentially com in It ted to us
Turning a sinner from the error of hip \vaj
Is saving a foul from death. This work Is ai
stupendous in Its results as It U glorious
Persli'tent Importunity is required , All thai
have been eminently succesvful have beer
men of strong faith and steadfast prayer
Think of the marvelous results of the six
teenth century ! Tbero were giants of faltt
and prayer In those days.
The methods best adapted to the great
work In London darkest England , Paris
and Berlin or New York , Phladelpbla anc
Chicago may not be the best for Lincoln
or Omaha , nut as our work Is here wi
want to know how to do It. God's ways arc
cot our ways. A few of the most success
ful workers n London and Paris were for-
rgnere. Let mo refer especially to Me-
All lu 1'arle , He was CO years old when u <
began and knew no French , except "Goi
loves you" and " 1 love you. "
At the ngo when some pastors think thai
they have pasted thu dead line , McAll begat

he was Ignorant. Hut such was his fulth
impulse nnd love for souls that by cncrgj
nnd prayer In twenty-one years It has growi
Into a united net-work all over that unique
city and suburbs. Ninety-nine mission Imlli
are open on Sunday nnd often on wcel
days , seating from eighty toISO people
each. In thl way fifty pastors nnd 150 lay
men did their work lasl year. The gospo
was preached to an aggregate of more tlmt
1,000,000.
No polemics arc permitted nnd neit r
word against the Roman Catholic church
The great facts about salvation arc stali't
simply and vividly. Five persons arc pres.
ent nt each meeting a gentleman outsldi
to tell passers by that there Is n service It

The speaker closed by outlining a plat
for raising money for the work. An Infer
mot discussion In which several of the pas.
tors joined followed the reading of the paper

MUSTER OUT IS SLOW WORK
Second \i-brnnlm Volunteer * Will lie
In Mrrvler Fulln
Week I ,
After a conference with Captain Kell ,
United States Army. Twenty-second Infan
try , who Is conducting the mustering out
of the Second Nebraska volunteers. It wns
announced by Colonel Bills yesterday that
discharges will not be Issued until October
24 , four days later than had been expected.
The labor of completing the muster rolls
wns found to bo so great that It will be
Impossible to complete it by the tlmo previ
ously set. Colonel Bills has been ill with
malarial fever and Is still far from well ,
so that ho has been unable to look after
the work with his usual attention. An Idea
of the labor Involved may bo gathered from
the statement that the record of each soldlei
In the regiment from enlistment to discharge
must be transcribed In live copies. Sergeant
Major Turcot , with a corps of clerks , has
been busy for several weeks In the prepara
tion of this record.
The physical examination of the regiment
conducted under the direction of .Major Hcg ,
brigade surgeon , who was sent to Camr
Melklcjohn for that purpose from Fort Mycr ,
Va. His report upan the condition of the
rnun was very favorable. With only twc
or three exceptions they were found to be
In eound health and the authorities at the
camp are very much pleased with the showIng -
Ing made. The only derangement which
the examiners noted at all generally wan a
Jaundiced condition and this was looked upon
as unimportant. Company G , the last com
pany to be examined , was almost finished
yesterday and the remainder , together with
stragglers from other companies , will bt
disposed ot today.
The boys feel considerably disappointed
at the delay In completing the muster rolls
as they had laid plans for the disposition ol
tholr liberty on October 20. Few of the
soldiers left the post yesterday and the day
was mostly spent about the barracks stove ,
which glowed red from the bent of four-
foot logs. When mess call sounded thej
donned their rubber cloaks , seized tin cup :
and plates and waded to their meals. Com
panies G , K and the others quartered on the
south side , expressed their opinion of s
fate which entailed upon them a trami :
across the parade In the face of the blizzard
The mess table , which gave general satisfac
tion upon the return of the regiment , h
now less generally endorsed. The men say
that the food U Indifferent In quality and
limited In variety.
Recruiting offices have been opened a
headquarters for both the Twcnty-secom
Infantry at Fort Crook and the Seventh cav
airy at Camp Ship , Ala. Lieutenant Moon
ot the former regiment reports that whlli
It Is of course Impossible to enroll men be
fore discharges arc Issued an cncouraglni
number have made known their Intentlot
of enlisting In his rcglnient. The Sevcntl
cavalry Is also well thought of by thosi
who expect to re-onllst. It Is the regimen
which saw fierce work at Wounded Knci
and Is also the "Gallant Seventh" of Custe
fame. Very little Is heard at thepost re
;
gardlng the formation of a fourth bat
talion.
In accordance with orders from Washl.ig
ton Colonel Ullla has approved a board o
survey which will appraise property belong
Ing to the etato and which has been turuei
over to the government. The board will bi
composed of Major Mapcs , Lieutenant Plat
ner , U company , and Lieutenant Kennedy
G company. The board will work In con
Junction with a representative of the stall
whom the governor has been requested t (
appoint. It will examine all clothing , tents
guns , canteens , etc. , which the state lin :
contributed to the service and will maki
an estimate of their value so that settle
ment may be 'made. ' The board's duties wil
be quite arduous and > wlll consume sevura
days.
The company quarters \tera all warn
and dry during the storm. A good stock o ;
wood was in store nnd the large stoves kep
things comfortable.
