Iilnliitn Acalnit Shannon.
The more Sergeant Whalen thinks about
the oxperlcnco ho passed through Thursday
night at Jack Shannon's saloon , vvhen ho
was locked up alone with twenty toughs
headed by a man crazed with drink , the
moro ho congratulates himself , lu making
a modest report ot the circumstances he
characterizes his escape OH a miracle. The
police In general feel that the whole af
fair resulted fortunately , as a movement on
the part of the sergeant to force Shannon
to Icavo the saloon would doubtless have
precipitated a riot. When the other offi
cers arrived they were ready for busi
ness and would have given the toughs a
hard tussle from the first ,
Thomas Fowler of Teknmah and Albert
E. Kurbush Identified 1) . T. Carter as the
tnnn who threw the glass which struck
Fowler In the mouth , consequently n com
plaint of assault and battery was lodged
against him. Two complaints were filed
against Shannon , one for assault and bat
tery by Fuibush nnd the second for as
sault with menacing threat by Officer Todd
Cummlngis. Ho will also be charged with
running a disorderly house. H. Hlctor , Al
bert Clark , D. T. Carter and Ida Howard
arc charged with obstructing policemen In
the discharge ot hclr duties. Arthur Smith
was dismissed , as Sergeant Whalen said he
was the most peaceable man In the crowd.
All the cases were set for hearing April IS
at 3 In the afternoon. Clark was the only
man who failed to give bonds.
HP T CntinoN the Trouble.
A glass ot beer , or rather two glasses ,
] ) rulpltated the row Turbush ordered a
glass of beer , as row lor did not care to
drink. Ida Howard stepped up and offered
to shako dlco for the drinks and Fur-bush
consented. He was beaten and each took
n glass of beer. At this Shannon made an
Insulting remark , giving his opinion of any
man who would shako dlco for so cheap a
drink as beer. Ho was bound to have a
"scrap" apparently , because Furbush sajs
before ho rcall/ed It Shannon had struck
him with his fist nnd was following it up
with other blows. Another man started to
lend Shannon a hand and Powler Inter
posed and received a flying schooner in the
mouth. Dcth managed flu.illy to squirm
away nnd run out of the saloon. They went
utralght Into the arms of Officer Cummlngs ,
who was crossing the street. They told him
they had not done the fighting. Ho en
tered the saloon and asked Shannon If he
was running a dlscorderly house.
This remark seemed to make Shannon
angry and he answered that ho did not pro
pose to permit any policeman to run his
business. Cummlngs attempted to arrest
him , but Shannon went behind the bar after
Ills revolver , commanding the doors to IMJ
closed on the way , as he Intended to kill
( the officer. Shannon pulled his revolver
from the drawer. At the same time Cum
mlngs drew his and for a moment ench
ntood with weapons pointed at the other's
head. Ida Howard was tugging away at
Shannon's arm to keep him from firing
nnd begging him to put away his revolver.
Officer Cummlngs says lr she had not been
BO close to Shannon ho would have killed
the man while ho atood behind the bar.
Both finally dropped their revolvers and
unlocking the door Cummtngs went out in
aearch of assistance. When ho returned It
was to find conditions reversed , with Ser
geant Whulen locked up in the place.
Whnlen HUH a Clour Call.
Sergeant Whalen says when ho entered ho
called Shannon to ono sldo and placed him
tinder arreat. Shannon backed away and
drew his revolver again and had the doors
ngain bolted. All this time Clark nnd
others were ndvlslng the annihilation of
the sergeant for his temerity In entering.
They Jostled him when he had hold of
Shannon and ho could to nothing with
them. He tried to got to the door to open
it In order that his comrades might get
in to his assistance Shannon saw his
echemo and started for his rooms upstairs ,
Whalen Intercepted him and a struggle en-
ue < l. The offlcnr said ho was not afraid
that Shannon would shoot him Intention
ally , but he thought the man was so drunk
J that howas liable to pull the tilgger any
tlmo without realizing how hard ho hail
pressed it. At the door leading out tht
eergeant and Shannon struggled , Shannor
Jabbing Whalen In the face and neck will
the barrel of the revolver nnd threatening
to shoot the top of his head off If ho dli :
not let up.
At the most dangerous Interval In the
fray there was a crash and the muaculai
figure of Sergeant Hajes shot throunh the
door to land nt Shannon's side. The ncxl
moment the barrel of Hayes' gun was
pressed against Shannon's head and tin
sharp voice of the officer admonished hi IT
to drop his revolver and give up or then
would be a 'tragedy. ' Shannon dropped hli
revolver on the floor Instantly and Haves
picked It up. The rest of the crowd , 01
that portion of It which did not dlsappeai
through windows and over transoms , wai
peaceable and the officers carted them t <
the station without difficulty.

REV , MR , MACRAE'S LECTURE
Cliiiritrtrrlidc'i of the Three Dom
inant People of the llrlt-
lilt Ilc .
Ail appreciative audience , In which the
Scottish element predominated , listened to
ftcry interesting lecture by Nov. D.tvld
Macrao of Glasgow , Scotland , nt the Young
Men's Christian Association building last
night. The subject dealt with the relative
characteristics of the three dominant peoples
ples of the llrltlsh Isles , nnd It was dis
cussed with moro than ordinary originality.
The speaker Is not only an entertaining
i speaker , but an excellent story teller. Ho
1 Illustrated the peculiarities of tha three
races with a set lea ot humorous anecdotes
that were hugely enjoved by his audience.
He dealt with the foibles ns well ns the
virtues of his fellow subjects , and these
were brought out In a happy manner that
loft a vivid Impression.
Hcv. Macrao first discussed the English
man , who , he declared , Is moro practical
and materialistic than his fellow Urltons.
He lacks Che wit ot the Irish and the poetic
Imagination that Is u Scottish birthright.
Ho has a keen sense of the nldo on which
his bread Is buttered and his favorite query
Is , "What Is It good for ? " A good dinner
occupies a prominent place In his estima
tion and when ho Is traveling he spends
most of his time In talking of what ho had
to eat at the last hotel and In speculating
on what he will get at the next stopping
place. Ho may not remember evcrj thing
that he sees , but ho will not forget any
thing that he ate.
In speaking of the Scotch , Hov. Macrao
deplored the fact that while the Englishman
Is associated with his fondness for roasl
beef and the Irishman with his predilec
tion for potatoes , the Scotchman Is gen
erally connected with an alleged fondness
for whisky. Ho also referred to the pro
verbial thrift of the Scots and explained
that this vvna not surprising. Tor many
generations Scotland had been a poor coun
try. Us struggles for Independence had
kept it poor oven while Us moral charac-
tcr nnd intellectual ability were known
! ( everywhere , and It was a atom necessity that
had Inculcated In. the Scottish character nn
clement that has never wholly disappeared
In conclusion Uev. Macrae spoke briefly
of the Irish Ho referred to the fertile wit
that never leaves an Irishman without nn
expedient and pointed out some of the
faults and virtues that make the Irish
character so productive of striking Incon
sistencies.

Vlnton streets last night , the people of the
southern portion of the-city bavins been
called together to hear the report of the
committee with reference to the progress
made In securing waivers ot damage along
the line of the proposed boulevard , con

> ct remained to be seen. Joe Kavan was ap
pointed a committee of one to call upon
Stephan and air. Cornish agreed to see the
other parties and attempt to secure their
waivers.
In discussing the proposed boulevard , Mr.
Cornish said that if the waivers can bo se
cured , the contracts for the grading will
undoubtedly bo a\vaided within two weeks
and the entire roadway graded and opened
t * travel this fall. The entlro work , he said ,
will not coat to exceed $10000 , and when
completed it will be the finest drive In the
west. Describing its couise , Mr Cornish
said that the route winds through heavily
wooded glens and along picturesque ridges ,
the scenery being almost as fine us that in
the mountains of the west. In connection
with the boulevard , Mr. Cornish declared
tliat as soon as the work is under way It
will bo possible to secure the construction
of a viaduct on the line of Vlnton street ,
north of Krug'a brewery.
Isaac Hascall declared that he felt certain
that the boulevard connecting the two parks
Is an assured fact and success The plan
ho laid at the door of the club , the members
of which , ho said , have worked early and
1 j late to accomplish this object. Mr Hascall
i Informed the meeting that as boon as thlf
1 | boulevard scheme is out of the way then
1 ' Is another ono to be proposed , that of con-
1 i nectlns Rlverview and Syndicate parks. He
snld that the South Omaha people are awake
to the plan and are ready to take hold am :
push It to completion.N

Illegal fishing In Cut Off lake received a
vigorous blow Thursday night when Sheriff
McDonald , with his deputies nnd a posse of
poltco officers raided the seiners and locked
up four of them In the county Jail The
men arrested were Carl Druner , Norgard ,
Vnderson and N'claon. Druner was out on
ball , awaiting sentence for a ( similar offence ,
and Frank Urown , convicted with him , was
one ot the quartet that got away. CharlrH
Trager and two other fUhermen whose
names are unknown , also succeeded In escap
ing from the officers In the darkness
Heports received by the local 1'lsh
Protective association Indicate that Kelners
have taken several tons of fish from the lake
during this week. It was icported that
several gangs of men * ere working thcro
with sclncfi all Wcdneflday night , and that
the next morning t-vo vvagonloada of fish
were boldly offered for sate on the city
narkct. Thursday night It wan determined
to teach the depredators an affective lesson ,
and Just before 10 o'clock a party
of fifteen policemen and deputy
( sheriffs reached the lake. They divided
nto four parties and began a systematic
patrol of the entire beach. A little after 10
o'clock ono partj- found Druner , Norgard
and Anderson with a. seine In their boat.
They were promptly arrested. At about the
simo time another party , which Included
Officers Drummy and Mitchell , got Into a
running fight with another squad of seiners
and a rapid exchange of revolver shots
alarmed the rest of the fishermen nnd they
all escaped except Nelson , T\ho was taken
n by the officers. Drown and Fragkr are
well known and will bo arrested If they
lave not left the city. Local sportsmen
aavo combined to employ an attorney to
prosecute the offenders and the association
proposes to push the matter vigorously. It
s believed that last night's raid has practi
cally broken up the gang , but measures will
bo Uken to continue the patrol of the lake
for the present.
Deputy Sheriffs Shand and Stryker spent
all day jesterday In the vicinity of Cut Off
lake looking for the nets have been used In
the recent Illegal fishing In that body of
water They succeeded In tracing and con
fiscating two largo nclfi. In addition to the
one that was secured by the posse the night
before , and it is believed that these are all
the large note that were In use. They also
secured some information In regard to the
four seiners who got away from the officers
and they will probably be located very soon.

President Roberts of the Unanl of Kdu-
eatlm said vpstrrdny that In order to nc-
c-omniodale the Incre.wlng number of pupils
n the public schools 11 will be necessary to
remote the High school annex to cither
the Hawthorne or llrown Park school. Ho
stated that some parents object to sending
.heir children to the pre ent annex as It
now situated Ho thinks the best Inter
ests of the taxpnvers cnn ba subserved by
removing the building to another locality
and Increasing the capacity of some of the
central buildings.
There 1 * need of more room at the Haw
thorne and Hrown Park schools , and the
iddlttou of the annex will help out tna-
.erlally , proMded the move Is made. A new
High school building Is neuded and must
come sooner or later. The school district
a not bonded for a cent at the present
.Imo and the present ofllclils consider that
money could bo very profitably expended
n \otlng bonds for a High school building.
With a vote of bonds the school levy would
most likely be materially diminished. Last
year the local levy for school purposes
was 20 mills , and unless some arrangements
ire made for better accommodations this
year the levy will bo the same this jear.
The IJoard of Education meets in Juno to
make the annual levy and it Is expected
that the question of voting bonds will come
up then President Huberts asserts that
something should be done to rcllovo the
crowded condition of the schools. Ho can
see only one way out of the dtfllcuUy and
that Is by toting bonds for the erection
of a High school building

Olijrrt In MiiiiliO Closing.
Some of the saloon keepers are Inclined
to bo sore on account of the recent order
of the major , regarding the enforcement
of the Slocumb law. Under the new rul
ing the saloons are required to close at
midnight nnd remain closed .ill day Sun
day. Liquor dealers hero say that the clos
ing of saloons here on Sunday will drive
trade to Omaha or Council Bluffs. Just
what the object o this sudden change Is no
ono seems able to tell , but developments
will be watched for with considerable In
terest. Quite a number of the liquor deal
ers appear pleased at the Idea of having
a day off on Sunday , and the order Is wel
comed , but In other circles the action of
the major la condemned , and it Is possible
that the rule will be violated. In case
the mayor tries to make a test case his
political enemies threaten to make It Inter
esting , particularly as regards the Slocumb
law.

STAMPING OUT THE SMALLPOX
Health OIlli'lnU DNuiiNN the Mcnmirrs
that Tlioj Say should
lie I'lirnueil.
The case of smallpox rcccntlj discovered
In the city Increases the total number of
cases of the disease under treatment In
Omaha to two. While this does not indi
cate that the city Is threatened with an upl-
demlc , It shows that the disease has by no
means been stamped out and that there is
a continual posslbllltj probability , the offi
cers of the Doard of Health say that there
will be more cases.
" 1 do not believe that Omaha Is threatened
with an epidemic , but 1 do firmly believe
that the disease will not bo stamped out In
this city for at least ono jrar and that occa
sional cases will be discovered In that peilod
of time , " sajs City 1'hyslclan Sp.ildlng
"Unless we build a stone wull about the
city and allow no one to enter we can not
bo sure that we arc safe from the disease
This condition exists from the fact that the
disease is prevalent .ill over the country
and a case may come In any day "
If a case should arrive In Omaha the cltj
would be confronted with a problem There
ore but two courses open The patient would
have to bo taken to the Miller park hospital
or to the hospital in I'ontanello park. Any
patient discovered In the cltj , If he or she
could not bo properly cared for and quaran
tined at home , would also have to be sent
to cither ono of the two places. There Is
no other choice for the Ilonid of Health
The residents In 'he viclnltv ot both Miller
and Fontanelle parks have been protesting
against the locations of the nest houses In
thplr neighborhood. They have even ap
pealed to the courts for relief , but their
objections have in a measure been stopped
by the promise ot the city council that HIP
hospital In Fontanelle park will bo removed
to gome place where it will not bo objec
tionable , and that on Its now site It will be
used for all smallpox cases. The council li.ii
been considering the question of removing
this hospital , but bejond talking about It
It has taken no action. Councilman Lobecx
I * the chairman of the committee that has
the matter In charge , but ho has made no
report.
According to the latest bulletin from the
Washington office of the United States hos
