CHICAGO, May 2C At 2:30 o'clock this
afternoon 300 police officers of tho city of
Chicago, headed by Chief Klplcy, every man
bearing n repeating rllle, marched from tho
Last Chicago nvenuo stiitlm on tho north
sldo to tho foot of Superior etrcet, whero
Captain fjeorgo Streetcr had fortified him
self on a strip of land comprising 136 acres,
created by the washing up of soil from tho
bed of Lake .Michigan, and which Strcctor
claims na his property by right of discov
ery. In tho Intrcnchments wero about seventy
men amied with rllles and two dialing guns.
Karller In tho day n parly "f Lincoln park
officials had been fired upon Lv pickets
around tho Improvised fort and a boy 11
years old hnd been wounded sovcreli- In tho
right leg. A horBe driven by tho park olll
clnls had been killed.
This shooting r-sultrd In it call upon tho
city ofllclals for the nrreat of the occupants
of Stroctcr'd fort, but tho city authorltios
declined to take tho Initiative, owing to tho
fact that the cupromo court of tho United
States once declared tho land to. be n part
of tho territory of Illinois. It was dually
decided to mobilize 300 pollco ofllcors under
the leadership of Chief Klpley and to
march against tho Strceterltes nnd demand
their nurrender.
Sheriff Mngerstadt went with tho chief
of police, and it was planned that in caso
of icfusal to surrender that tho Bherlft
should Immediately swear In the 30u pollco
oniccrs na deputy sheriffs, again demnnd
tho surrender of. Strectcr's forces on tho
ground of riot and disorderly conduct and
proceed to arrest tho occupants of tho fort
tcgardleas of cost.
A flro boat wth a Catling gun aboard was
dlspntchod u Lako Michigan to mako n
demonstration from that eldo and to cut off
tho escapo of Strectcr's men by menns of
their yacht. It woh nrranged that tho Joint
demonstration of land nnd water forces
should occur promptly nt 3:30 o'clock.
Tort Slrt-.-l.-r Su r i-entlcr-M.
At 3:15 o'clock "Brigadier (Jeneral" NUcb
and four of iiis men, perceiving tho over
whelming forco of pollco approaching,
climbed over the emplacements of their Im
provised fort nnd offered to surrender to tho
park police, providing they wero protected.
Tho surrender was accepted and tho park po
Ilccmcn started ou foot toward the pollco
elation, followed by an Immense crowd.
Those In tho crowd pushed and Jostled NIIcs
roughly, and ho suddenly whirled around
nnd tried to bayonet ono of his peraccutors.
A rough nnd tumble flt-ht ensued In which
Nllos' rllle wns wrenched from his hands
and clubs wero freely ujed on tho erstwhile
"brigadier general'" head. Ho was knocV cd
down nnd wns about to draw a revolver,
when ho was manacled and dragged off by
tho ollleoM. The four men with him were
alwo roughly handled in the melee. Tho
remainder of Streeter's force, seeing tho
fato of their lender, deserted their guns nnd
escaped In tho throng. Tho pollco at onco
took chart'o of the fort with lt nt(m .....
of urtns and ammunition.
Captain -Streetcr was not found In tho
fort.

Captain Streetcr claims to own tho land,
which, were tho tltlo clear, would hi u-nrth
between $30,000,000 nnd $50,000,000. In 1SS3
Captain Streetcr nnd his wlfo wore stranded
on a little sandbar a few yards from tho
shore at the foot of Sunerlor street. Tim
spot was not down on tho mars and tho
doughty navigator laid claim to tho land
nnd declared his right, being tho wholo
population, to elect himself to all the olllccs
which he, In fraimlnc a constitution tnom..ii
the territory In need of. As the years passed
me uumping or nil sorts of refuse nnd by tho
earth wnshed up by tho lako formed n largo
tract nnd Captain Streetcr beramo a man of J
Impoitance. With his importanro and the'
Increased value of tho lands his troubles
began. Tho tract became connected with
the Ehoro and owners of ndloinlnc nrmiprtv
resented tho presence of Captain Streetcr
ami tno retainers he had about him. They
cart led the matter Into court. The supreme
court of the United StuteH deciilml that tlm
land was within the Jurisdiction of the state
ot Illinois.
A year ago ho organized under tho name,

police, however, descended on him and hlB

of the Invasion. Patrolman O'Malley saiv
a smau schooner anchored off tho snoro
when daylight broke. Krora tho boat Cap
tain Streetcr 'anded his men and the patrol
man telephoned Inspector Heldelmlor ot
tho occurrence. Tho insnoctor resolved to
mako no move in the matter until after n
conference wltn tho law department of tho
city and in consequonce tho Invndcra, or

tho case. Captain Slferter has lued a
"dcclaritlon of independence" ceding forth
his nllencil rights to the prop.-rty nnd perxed
a copy upon the Untied States matsh.il of
the district. The police felt that they wero
nmply able to wipe out Strectcr's forren and
wero bent upon doing so bvnuse of the fnct
that the men were noparrntly bearing nuns 1
In defiance of the Rtntutra of Illinois. I
Chief Klploy was in favor of Immediately
descending upon the Strecterites and placing
tnem ttndor nrrest regardless of conie

operntion. however, the city authorities de
cided to take no rash step nnd to lay tho
whole matter before the corporation counsel
for hla Interpretation of the law.
Shortly after 1 o'clock Acting Mayor nnd
Corporation Counsel Walker decided that, lu
view of the decision by tho supremo court
of the United States that tho land claimed
' by Streetcr Is territory of the state of Illi
nois, tho city pollco forces could not legally
precipitate a battle with Streotor's forces,
which nt that hour were Increased by nil

Walker exprcmed the opinion that the mat

rooms). M.itters of 1 111 port 11 nee regarding

CO.MMITTKi: OF U.NUMKUATOHS.
It was In response, to this notice, which
j appeared to have so-mo unexplained connec
tion witn tlieir official duties, and at least
onough of such appearance to awaken the
curiosity of tho enumerator., that ubout a
hundred of Major Wheeler's olllclnl family
assembled Saturday evening at the Millard
hotel. Thoy swarmed around tho Patriotic
League reading room on tho ground lloor
and waited In vain for Dlstrl"t Census Su
pervisor Wheeler to appear. After their pa
tlonco had been sorely tried a man whom
none of them knew came Into the reading
roc-m and invitul them all up to room 150,
where lie said the business of the meeting
wns to be tnkon up.
Among tho persons present wns Judge
Julius Cooley, who had accompanied to tho
meeting one of the ludy enumerators. Tho
olllcious gentleman who appeared to be run
ning the meeting Insisted upon Judge Cooley
presiding, and of course thut wu.i a propo
sition that could not possibly bo met with
n disclaimer. The Judge poured his genial
nnd oily volubility ovor the company, pay
ing tho enumerators many compliments for
tho qualifications that had led to their be
ing singled out to conduct the work of tho
govornment, and thoy were all In extremely
good humor until the olllcious gentlemnn
who had thus fnr acted ns a self-appointed
commlttco of arrangements got up and be
gan to point out the vlrtuea of n specific
brand of fountain pen as an aid In census
taking. Ho had hardly finished hefore a
representative of another brand of fountain
pen grasped tho occasion to sing tho merits
of tho utensil he was paid to sell. Others
of tho same Ilk followed, nnd finnlly It pot
down to tho disputation staje of tho mieet-
Ing whero the purveyors of pens wero
heatedly contending for the supremacy of j
their respective brands. Thei. Judge Cooley 1
lumuieu 10 1110 signincance ot tnc meeting .
and promptly announced with considerable
npparcnt disgust that he would be glad to
entertain n motion to adjourn at once slue
die. Tho motion was mado and promptly
carried.
U developed that there were enumerators
present from all over tho district who had
been led to come to Omaha, paying railroad
fare, being under thn necessity of paying
hotel fare also, merely to hear these rival
agents discuss the virtues of fountain pens.
It Is probable that there will bo no more
meetings of census enumerators in this
district unless the call thcrofor bears the
natno of Major I). II. Wheeler, or at least
0110 would reach such a conclusion from tho
remarks attributed to those who attended
tho meeting last evening.

"In your American climate catarrh Is un

statement. "Severe bronchitis with 11 ruw
and sore condition of the breathing tubes
nnd affected me for several winters. My
rough would tie tight nil ,iny and wns
greatly aggravated by the cold winter nlr
or by odors from the kitchen. When ex
posed to draughts In my husband's sturo
I would have severe paroxjuns of cough
ing, often until I vomited. I had sevelo
wheezing spells at night, and raln d thick
mucous or pus of morn'ngs. All this re
duced me In ilesh and In strength until I
knew my condition was ferlou-..
"My cure was brought about by Dr.
Shepard s medicines, which nll.iv.-d my
cough and asthma and took uwny all the
pain and soreness In my chest. An Import

of the Shcpnrd Vaporler. from which I
breathed healing and soothing medicated
