ILLINOIS CENTRAL MAY GET A SHARE Local tlnllronil Circle * liitcrc to l In Iteport tlin : Vetv Line U III Perm Tlirniiuli Trnlllc Attroi'iiient filth I'nlon 1'uclllc , When It first became known that Iho Illi nois Ccnlral was extending Its line Into Omaha persistent rumors arose thnt It en try would witness a cessation of the close trBfflc'arranBcmcnta between the Northwest ern nnd the Union 1'aclflc. Shortly before the arrival of the now road the through transcontinental 'train ecrvlco was estab lished from Chicago to San Francisco over thn Northwestern and the Union 1'nclllc un dcr such conditions as to warrant belief In Its permanence , and rumors thnt the Illinois Central would step Into Ihe Northwestcrn's SHOPS In its relations to the Union I'aclflc subsided. Speculation has ngaln been aroused In local railroad circles by the re port that the Illinois Central will have the haul east of the MlEnourl river In Ihe new Chicago-Portland iraln lo he Inauguralcd by the Union Pacific , Oregon Snort Line ana Oregon Railway & Navigation company Ar.rll 1. Reportw floated in from the west last week " that one "reason for the participation In the Salt Lake confersnce of the Northwestern line was to press Its claims for the through Portland-Chicago train over Its road between Omaha nnd Chicago. That it was consid ered necessary on the part of the Northwestern - western olllclals to use any persuasion In thi ; matter Is taken to uphold Ihe belief of several Omaha railroad men lhal a proposi tion Is under advisement whereby Ihc 1111- tiole Ccnlral may bo allied with the Union Pacific and Its western connections In the new train service to be established April 1. M. C. Markhnm , assistant tralllc manager of the Illinois Central , was Interviewed In Denver last week relative to the gossip of th dissolution of Iho existing arrangements tctween the Northwestern and Union Pacific and the forming of a combination between the Illinois Central and the Union Pacific. He professed absolute Ignorance of any such proposition being on foot. Nothing was mentioned , however , relative to the proposed Portland-Chicago service. Train * Arrive tin Time. The snowstorm Tuesday night did not interfere to any appreciable extent with the oporallou of passenger trains. With one 01 two exccptlonrt the morning trains yesterday from both east and west came in nearly on time , the record of all Ihe roads being one that would bo pleasing to the operating ofll- dais oven on a fair weather day. The Mil waukee was about two hours late. Oeorge B. Haynes , city passenger agent , atlrlbulet the occasional delays of the trains on hU road to the substitution at Perry , la. , ol lighter engines than Iho big ones which pull 1ho trains from Chicago to Perry. This I ; necessary because the bridges west of Perrj nrc not heavy enough to warrant the speei nnd weight of the heavier engines. Tin present bridges will bo replaced In the ncai future with steel structures nnd then thi ( Milwaukee' never expect their trains to be late , ns the big engines will bo rur through to Omaha from Chicago.

UNSATISFACTORY ENDING OF A FIGHT SK'llnund Co n I cut landed nt the Clour of tlir Fourth tilth a Chnrac t Mliorl Time. What promised to bo a raltllng good pugi listic exhibition between Marlon Mclntyrc of Omaha and Tom Carrel of San Kranclscc was terminated abruptly nt the end of the fourth round by Carrol's refusal to longci continue Iho match. The bout was scheduled as the main event of n boxing exhibition given nt Washington hall Wednesday night , H was witnessed by about 125 sporting men of Omaha and South Omaha. Carrel as serted that the time lltnltj of the round had been cut short when ho was getting the uppcrhand of his opponent and dcniandcd that his gloves bo removed. The preliminary exhibitions were tedlouf nnd long drawn out. The crowd became Im patient and was not In the best of humor , but the first round of the Mclutyrc-Carrol bout nrotiBcd plenty of enthusiasm nnd until the end of the mill Interest continued at the top notch. The first preliminary was a gc between local colored llghtwelghts"Dangpr' Talbot , Jr. , n brother of the hall player bj the same name , nnd "Kid" Johnson. The lads put plenty of ginger Into their exhibi tion and Ihe crowd wn > fairly well pleased At the end of the fifth round the matcli was called nnd Talbol awarded the decision The next two bouts were entirely too tame to suit the spectators and their concluslor brought a. general sigh of relief. Both were four-round matches , the contestants bolnf Jack Gorman and Jack Thornton , and Blllj Barrett of Omaha nnd Jack Macnhm of Chi cago. cago.No No sooner did the first round of the Me- Intyro-Carrol mill got well started than tin spectators realized that they were' to gel their money's worth. The two prize fighters mixed things up In lively fashion. Thej went so fast , Indeed , that those near thi ringside appreciated the wisdom of tin agreement , lhat the fight should last bui six , Instead of twenty-five rounds , as wai originally Intended , for neither man was It even fair condition , nnd the labored breathIng - Ing of both Indicated plainly that a six-roum go would give each as much fighting as hi had bargained for. Mclntyre handled himself cleverly , was light on his 'feet and reeled off a few short- arm jolts and left-handed swings that rathei slaggered Iho San Francisco dlsclpulus o fisttann. In the third round the Omaha lat had his opponent going. He had landed i right-hand blow in Carrol's wind , followct by a left-hand swing on the jaw and an other punch would probably have laid Carrel rol on the shelf , but the referee called tlmi and Ihe fun was lemporarlly at an end. In the fourth round both men were rapid Carrel came up in good condition am seemed to reverse the order of things ex Isttng at the end of the third. He was 01 the offensive from the start and had thi round his own way when the tlnie-keepe shouted time. The crowd was In a hlg ! pitch of excitement , owing to the raplult ; with which the mill was progressing am someone started a cry that the time wai eut short. Immediately a howl went up punctuated hy hisses and cat-calls. Carro took advantage of the disorder and rcfusei to fight longer , asserting that the time ha < been cut short because he was gelling Ihi hotter of Mclntyre , His aptipn was op plaudcd and he disappeared Into his dress ing room. Within a few moments the hal wns emptied and the first renl game prlzi fight given In Omaha for some time cnde < In a most unsallafactory manner.

Eight Syrians , men apd women , from the Arabian colony on South Thirteenth street , appeared in police court Wednesday to npswer to a charge of assault preferred against them by .Ellas Ferris and his wife , also Syrians. A difference of religious belief is at the bottom of the trouble. Having lived In the United States for a long time , Ferris' creed has become ojmewhat Americanized , while that of the other faction Is essentially Syrian. Ferris is an Importer of European novelties. His alleged assailants are ped dlers. The defendants , some of whom have taken English names , are : Abraham Risk and wife , Mrs. Soloman , Mns. Nahll George , Jobra Shaboe , George Smith , Joseph Body and Mrs. Shahoo. Ferris says these people send their children to lorment him and hU wife. "They come and drag tin cans full or gravel over the sidewalk In front of inv house nnd yell and throw stones at mo. They hope I'll get mad' ' and go out and slap one of them so they'll have a case against rae. One tlrno three women throw my wife down and sat on her while another pulled her hair out. " The truth of this last statement was prac tically vouched for by the woman's placing govern 1 handfuls of jet black hair , long , j straight and coarse , on Hie- desk of the city attorney as sbo swore to her complaint. Upon her scalp were bald places whence the nalr came. The case was continued until April II. HYMENEAL I'yle.-.Saitliiirii , ST. PAUL , Sllnn. , Feb. 14. J. d.

He Irfi Fort Crook with his regiment on Janu ary 26 , i8 ! ! t , nnd now carries a discharge dated nt San Francisco , February 5. His character Is given as excellent In Iho dis charge , and In addition lo this he has a let ter frosi Chaplain K , H. Fitzgerald which s-ri > fl that ho served with distinction In Ihc Cuban and Philippine wars. Sergeant King participated In fifteen Important engage ments nnd Is considered ono of the best non- commlssloncr offlcois In Iho regiment. In speaking about his return trip Sergeant King said ho loft Manila on January 10 on board the United States transport Meado. On board were 13o prisoners destined to the military prisons In ihis country. Al Nagasaki , Japan , eighteen of the prisoners escaped through n hole inado by members of the crew of the ship. Th0 guard on board was not blamed for the escape , as It afterwards transpired that the crew alone was at fault. Two pris oners died on the way over and were burled at sea. When asked about the conditions In and about Manila , Sergeant King said that on the north line the natives wore peaceable and wcro returning to their pursuits. Many were starting In life again after having lost everything In the early stages of Iho war. On the southern line It Is only a mailer ol a few days , said Mr. King , before Iho same seltlod conditions will prevail. Sergeant King said that ono ot the grand- ml sights ho over witnessed was on Decem ber 30 , In Manila , when the remains of Gen eral Lawton were escorted to the transport , Over 8,000 troops were In line nnd the parade - rado was a momornblo one. I2very eoliilei nt the front mourned Lawton , who was con sidered the best of leaders and regarded bj the soldiers as ono of the few great gencrah of the army. Aa nn Indication of the loyalty of the Japanese - aneso for the Americans , Sergeant Klnj stated that the transport Meade took flu Inland COUIKQ north from Nagasaki and thi ship was guided through Iho narrow channo by a Japanese pilot who refused the custo mary fee for the reason that the ship car ried the American flag. Ho said the Japan ese generally regarded the Americans ai tholr friends and did everything in theli power to make the stay of the tioldlors a Nagasaki pleasant. .In UK inn n ii School ( VIcliriil ion. The Bohemians of Ihe cily are greallj elated over the action of the Board o Education In naming the new nchool liotisi on Twentieth street after Joseph Jungmann the great historian of Bohemia. In certaii circles there Is a complaint about this , am It Is asserted that a request will be made o the 'board to change the name of the schoo for sonio American. AH the Second ward 1 : populated principally by Bohemians am those of Bohemian descent , It I declaret that the name selected Is fitting and shouU stand. Every 'member ' of the board presen1 at the meeting Monday night voted for tin adoplion of the name , and It Is hardly prob' able that the resolution naming the schoo will be rescinded. Already the Bohemian : of the ward are making preparations for r proper observance of the dedication of th < school. A parade Including all of the Bo hemian socle-ties of Ihe clly will form : feature of the Ceremony. HoiMibllcaiiM for Soliool Hoard. Republicans realize the fact that goo < men are needed for the Board o.f Education and with this Idea in view a canvass o ! the well known and prominent republican ; Is oelng made. As three members of the board arc to be elected this spring , these names are suggested : Howard Mayers , R C : Young and E. T. Miller. It Is assertet' ' that these men will (111 the places to tin entire satisfaction of the party. The need of ( business men In the board Is apparenl from the financial condition of the- school district. Even with the election of three republican members this spring the demo crats will still have control , but It Is thought that the presence of republican * on the board will have a tendency to curlail Ihe exlravagence of Iho democrals and pave the way toward the election of three more re publicans In thci spring of 11101. ConipIiiliitN oil Police Ji'orcc. There Is considerable lalk about the police department lately. Most of the complaints are caused by the pairing of the police In the fouslness portion of the city. On the down town streets two policemen are al ways together , and In some Instances three "coppers" are found In line walking along. This system Is supposed to result from the fact that there is no chief of police. Captain Hanley handles the men to suit himself on the day side , while Captain Allle posts hlfi men at night according to his liking. The result appears to bo the utmost confusion and a lack of discipline all through. Mayor Ensor Is being urged to appoint a ohlef ol police In order to straighten out the force and compel patrolmen to walk beats alone , Instead of going about in pairs , us is now the custom. % Storm ToDlcN. Wednesday's storm caused considerable Inconvenience , 'but ' no damage to speak ol was donp. All stock trains were a little late In arriving , but plenty of help was nt hand to see to the unloading as soon as the care wcro run up to the chutcw. Quito n force was employed In keeping the puzzle switches In the yards clear of snow so as not to ob struct the rapid switching of cans. Strcol car truffle was Impeded to some extent and motors were run without trailers. The travel was heavy and the company's re sources were taxed to the limit. Those wlic were compelled to walk from Twcnty-fourtl street to the yards complained bitterly , ani concurred In the Htatement that the terminus of the line should bo nearer the center ol business , Instead of where It Is.

The Board of Education will make a thorough invesllgatlon of the claims of the West Side , A'mbler and Kckermann school patrons , who consider Ihe recent lopping off of those districts an unwarranted hardship. A special committee has been appointed , consisting of Members Black , Smith and Johnson , who intend to visit the districts affected and Inform themselves thoroughly of the situation. They will Inquire regard ing the method of Iransportallon In wagons favored by Superintendent Penrsp nnd make an estimate of the alleged economy of the new Byfitem.

In reference to the matter one of the committee wild : "The board tried ihp same plan ono year ago , but was unable to carry It out in the face ot public opinion and the Rcntlmont this year is much more pronounced. Wo will show thp hchool board that there Is no economy In the method and that it Is an Injustice to the taxpayers.
