MEDICS AND DENTS FIGHT
Hand-to-Hand Meleo Occurs at the Omaha
Medical College.
ONE STUDENT SERIOUSLY HURT
I.arlt of Ilmlrnhle Seat in One af the
l.ectnrr llixini tbe Inline of nn
Outbreak Hint U Sert
oli. Tbo clinics of the Omaha Medical college
and tbo Omaha Dental college will have no
lack of patronB during the next two weeks,
The students of the former will tie busy
patching their own broken heads and the
tooth carpenters of tho latter will bo occu
pied with replacing tho crumpled molars
and tho fractured Incisors of their class
mates. It Is all on account of a free-for-all
scrimmage which tools jilaco yesterday
In lecture room No. 2.
The "dents" were aligned against the
"medics," tbo casus belli being the most
desirable seats In tho room. Ono young
man, n dental student named Dale Woods,
on of Dr. Woods of Schuyler, Neb., was
qulto seriously hurt by being thrown down
talrs. It Is thought ho Is Injured Inter
nally. Tho other victims number a doicn
cir more, nil of whom are mora or less ko
rerely brulsod, scratched or sprained, whllo
Senior McCann (dental) and Junior Porter
(medical) have scalp wounds and black
eyes. Tho clothing of many of the stu
dents was literally torn from tholr bodies.
Tho classroom Is badly wrecked, electric
flituros being damaged and the plastering
knocked from tbo walls In great patches.
Tho dentals, being slightly outnumbered,
were defeated by tho medics. Tho former
ay, however, that tho trouble Is not over
yet and that they will bide their time to
wreak rnver.ge.'
Tho troublo, which reached Its climax
yesterday, has been brewing for a week or
more. Kvery forenoon at 10 o'clock lecture
room No. 2 on tho third floor Is thrown open
to both medics und dcntnls for a lecture on
the Bubjcct of materia modlca. Then tho
medics como over from their half of tho
building nnd tho dentals converge upon It
from their various class rooms, und thcro
Is a good-natured tussle for front scats, the
apartment not being largo enough to fur
nish good scats for all. Of Into, however,
the Hues have been drawn Recording to
curriculum. From a friendly Jostling of
Individuals tho situation has broadoned
out until It has become a matter of class
pride to got good benches on tho front row.
Preliminary Mklrmlsli Orrnr.
Wednesday morning thero whh a prelim
inary skirmlBh Tho medics, bccniiBo their
rocltntlon hours will permit, wero there
Urst. Tho dentals mobilized their forco In
tho lower corridor, drew themselves up In
the form of a flying wedge, rushed tho cor
poral's guard In tho lecturo room and lit
erally threw them out. First blood for tho
dcntnls.
Yesterday, however, thing wero dif
ferent. Tho medics were prepared for the
onset they felt sure was coming. Hereto
foro their attendance had not been es
pecially good, but Wednesday night the
word was passed from Hp to Hp "Every
1 man bo In bis place! Tho Omaha Medical
expects you to do your duty! Spare no
heads! Look Bharp to your bludgeons!"
Thlo pronunclamcnto somehow had moro
effect In thti way of securing a full attend
ance thun tho oft-repeated entreaties of tho
faculty. Every medic thlrty-elght of them
wus thero at 10 sharp. Kvery front sent
was occupied. Thlrty-clgbt notebooks and
thlrty-elght pencils wero produced as I'rof.
Itlee began his lecturo on materia mcdlca,
but tt' WaB evldont the "professor was not
holding tho' attention of his class. Their
gazo was focussed upon tho doors at either
Ido of the lecture plutform.
IlenU Appear oa the Murnp.
About this time there was a clamor of
boots upon tho stairway. In an Instant
two columns of Centals, drawn up In foot
ball nrray. entered at the right nnd the
left, nnd without a word of command tho
tutslo began. Tho foremost of the Invad
ing column seized tho nearest medic and
grappled with him. I'rof. Rice' rapped for
order, but ho might ns well have tried to
top a stampede of wild horses. Tho light
was on In earnest. Amid yells nnd grunts
each man struggled und strained single
handed with his adversary. The contend
ing forces wero almost equally favored as
to numerical strength, the medics being
thlrty-elght nnd tho dentals thirty-one, all
husky, full-chested lads from Nebraska
farms.
Then, as tho battlo waxed warm, muny
found nature's weapons Inadequate as a
means of offense, bo charged the railing
bcut tho lecturo platform, from which
they ripped tho rungs by tho armful and
pasred them to their comrades. These
made elegant batons. They woro Just
heavy enough to glvo n sharp rap on tho
head without danger of breaking tho skull,
and wero well-balanced, with neatly turned
handles. They did noblo execution. Thcro
nero not enough to go around, however,
and that the remainder of the furniture
was not demolished to supply clubs was
probably due to tho fact that tho furnltur
aforesaid (benches, namely) formed a part
of the building Itself. Tin architects
eemlngly had anticipated such u pink tea
as this.
Meanwhile the medics wero getting some
thing tho better of the dentals. They had
such slight udvnntago as accrues from
position and numbers and, crowding tho
dontals to the head of tho Btulrs, were
giving them enough of it. One man, his
shirt torn off, a streak of blood coursing
down his fiico and chest, was poised over
tho balustrade, kicking nnd striking. An
other. In trying to break away from tho
ruck, succeeded, but loft a trouser leg thero
as an evldcnco of his valor. Hero was tho
brunt of tne battle tho lauding at tho
head of tho staircase.
Wooiln Th rim it llutvn Still.
Young Dale Woods was seized by some
onb and thrown downstairs. u lay at the
bottom, Inert. Tho other dentals followed
by' the same routo and menus, until thero
was a floundering heap of humanity, with
roung Woods at the bottom.
Tho pry that someono had been killed
luclled the excitement; tho lighting closed,
iml Just at this moment tho patrol wagon
urlved from the station, with two detectives
nd a patrolman, In charge of Sergeant
Hudson. Thero was a hasty examination of
Iho Injured, and then, yielding to tho en
treaties of certain members of tho faculty,

SlnLe Formal Application for Holn-
Intrnienl 111 the Western I'm-
enuer Aanoclnllun.
Tho Western Passenger association has
boeu strengthened by tho re-entry Into tho
fold of tho Chicago, Milwaukee ft St. Paul
road. Formal application for renewed
membership v.as recently mndo by the Mil
waukee nnd was voted upon favorably by
all of tho members. The withdrawal of the
Milwaukee from tho association last sum
mer was technical rather thun real. Its
action was prompted by reason of tho fall
uro of thu effert to secure tho membership
of the Chicago Great Western, Wisconsin
Central nnd Minneapolis & St. Louis, lines
competitive with tho Milwaukee nnd oper
ating In certain portloua of tho Milwaukee's
best territory. While remaining nominally
a member of tho association and abiding
by Its rules so far as other roads com
petitive with It and belonging to tho asso
ciation wero concerned tho Milwaukee was
frco to meet tho lines which refused to
CLter tho fold on their own ground.
Notwithstanding this condition of affairs,
however, the other roads belonging to the
association are glad to have tho Milwaukee
back aR a full-fledged member. Its acces
sion will bo a source of strength to thn
association and may havo an Important
bearing on the attitude of other outsldo
lines toward tho association, It I under
stood that pressure will be brought to bear
upon the three lines still outsldo tho Juris

When four dollvery wngons drew up In a
row In front of Stovo Maloney's home, 2163
Locust street, about 1) o'clock yesterday
tho nelghbois all wondered If Stovo was
going to give a house-warming. As to
Steve, he thought ho detected tho advance
guard of a surprlso party and tried to re
member If It was his birthday. Then the
drivers of tho wagonB began to carry goods
Into the house.
When Stevo recovered from the first Hush
of embarrassment bo asked them a few
questions and learned that tt was all a
mistake.
An hour before tho appearance of the
four delivery wagons In front of the Mnlonoy
domicile a con man with a pocketful of
forged checks had made the rounds of a
number of small stores near Nineteenth and
Clark streets. At each placo ho bought a
email bill of goods, presenting In payment
ono of the forged checks and receiving a
Imlanco of from J12 U $15 In change. He
ord red the goods delivered "at tha ro Ideuco
of W. n. Cnnficld, 2105 Locust street." Tho

He will bo a marked, man who travels
the streets of Omaha without an "audi
torium brick" on his coat lapel. At least,
this Is the determination of tho board of
directors of tho auditorium, for the mem
bers propose that no man shall escape pur
chasing a brick. Chairman Fred Palfcn-
rath of tho committee which has had tn
charge the mntter of securing a suitable
emblem to represent tho auditorium, re
ported at yesterday's meeting of tho di
rectory that ho had formulated a plan
which he believes will be a winner.
It is n celluloid composition, shaped to
represent a brick, suspended from a button
contrivance, either to lit Into one's button
holo or fasten tipon ono's outer garment,
bearing this Information: "I own n brick
In the Omaha Auditorium. Good for ono
sharo of stock." Theao bricks will bo sold
for H nnd each will bo numbered consecu
tively, tho namo of the purchaser being
entered as n stockholder In the books of tha
secretary opposite the number on tho brick
purchased.
There Is likely to bo a lively competition
for brlckn bearing certain numbers. Drlck
No. 1 will be particularly In demand, Tho
directors expect to auction this brick off to
ono of the newspapers of the city and let
It In turn dispose of the brick by means of
a voting contest to the most popular young
woman In tho city. Tho revenue derived from
this voting contest, It Is anticipated, will
bo donated to thu auditorium fund. Such
a plan as this was adopted with tho first
button fssucd by the Kansas City audi
torium nnd proved Immensely successful
the revenuo turned Into tho auditorium
mounting to several hundreds of dollars.
Other numbers that are expected to com
mand fancy prices nro 13, 100, 711, 1000,
1HI, 1313, 10000. 20C0O, 1111, 2222, 3333, UU,
6563, 6666, 7777, SS8S, 9399. Hcstdes these
certain people will probnbly bo desirous of
securing certain numbers, representing, for
Instance, their ago, tho date of their birth,
marriage or other eventful occurrence.
Tho number 1103, representing tho Hoynl
Arcanum, was spoken for by Director
Hurkut, who bid 10 for It.
City to lie I'lnonrdrd.
The town Is soon to be plastered with
panels announcing tho snlo of tho bricks.
From street cars, shop windows nnd on
sign boards will .appear In glaring letters
Injunctions for the people to "Cheer up!
He not discouraged, liny nn auditorium
brick," and any number of other catchy
advertisements.
Tho auditorium bricks aro now being pre
pared by an eastern manufactory, Chair
man Pnffcnrath having received u
tolegram stating that his Idea could bo
followed out. The manufacturers, who deal"
In emblems of this nature, congratulated
Mr. PatTcnrath upon tbo cleverness and
originality of his uchemc and this con
gratulation was seconded heartily by mem
bers of tho board of directors.
Tho directors wero particularly Jubilant at
today's mcctlug In tho success that has at
tended their efforts toward raising subscrip
tions for tho auditorium, Tho members
havo been devoting their entire tlmo this
week In n canvans of tho city and splendid
success has crowned their labors. About
115,000 additional subscriptions havo been
received this week. Tho actual amount re
ported up to tho present time Is $63,S8o, al
though besides this there aro several thou
sands of dollars that arc absolutely assured.
"We have assurances and HUbscriptlon on
hand for about $75,000," said President Sanborn-
"Tbo past week our subscriptions
havo averaged $5,00") a day. Wo mean to
reach tho $100,000 mark this week If possi
ble If wo don't touch it the fund Saturday
night will certainly bo very close to that
amount. Wo havo several largo subscrip
tions pending and have every reason to bo
encouraged with the spontaneity manlfosted
by Omaha's progressive business men In
generously supporting tho1 project, which
means moro for this clly than can easily ho
comprehended."

been, with tho possible exception o
"Trilby," tho most popular serial thut bai
ever appeared In Hurper's Magazine, r.

tifying title of Prof. Ernst Hueckel's latest
work, tho English translation of which has
boeu brought out by tho Hurpcrs. Prof.
Haeckel Is associated with tho University
of Jena and haa n world-wide reputation,
so that a now book from his pen Is n mat
ter of no Ilttlo Import. Tho main strength
of tho work Ilea In tho terse nnd telling
summary of scientific achievements of the
nineteenth century. Price, $1.60.
I-orl Hosobory, under tho title "Napoleon,
tho Last Phase," has written a study of tbo
great military genius. It Is In no sense a
biography, but Is chlelly u study of Na
poleon tho man, partlculaily during the
period of his Imprisonment at St. Helena.
Tho author has lu his study evidently
maintained a fair-minded attitude, and
coming aa It docs from one of the moat
scholarly and liberal statesmen of today the
book will provo a most valuable addition to
Napoleonic literature.
A volume that will provo a most accept
able holiday gift to nil suca aa havo any
leaning towanl tho church or Interest In
biblical history is a beautifully bound nnd
printed volume entitled "Women of the
Hlble." It contains sketches of twelve of
tho most prominent femalo characters figur
ing In tho bible, commencing with Evo nnd
ending with tho Virgin Mary. Tho sketches
aro written by twelvo eminent divines,
such men as Row Lyman Abbott, Rev.
Honry Van Dyke. Cardinal Gibbons, Hov.
Newell Dwlght Hlllls, and others equally
prominent. Independent of the frontis
piece, thcro aro twelve Illustrations, taken
from more or less celebrated paintings,
representing tho different characters. As
remarked at tho beginning of this para
graph, It Is u book that will appeal strongly
to every person Interested .In religious
teaching. Harper & Uros., New York.
"Dr. Dumany'a Wife," a very unusual
novel by Maurus Jokal, has been translated
from the Hungarian for iho benefit of Eng
lish renders. It is dramatic and pictur
esque, llko all tho author's stories, dealing
with u mnrrlago under u misapprehension,
which Is not dispelled until years after
ward. The opening aceuo of a railroad
wreck and the wild times of stock specula
tion during the Franco-Prussian war offer
themes peculiarly suited to the author's
fiery und dramatic pen. This la tho latest
story by Hungnry's great author and was
translated directly from tho mnnuscrlpt.
Mnurus Jokal Is now 6G years old, but Is
apparently as vigorous as In tho days when
ho buckled on tho aword to fight for Hun
gary's Independence. Doublcday & Mc
Clure Co., New York. Prlco, $t,23.
The most pretentious work attempted
thus fur by Molly Elliot Seawell bears the
title of "Tho Houso of Egremont." It Is
a romance of tho seventeenth century deal
ing with tho friends of the exiled Stuarts.
Tho story abounds In adventure and will
appeal to the admirers of what might b
termed scml-hlstorlcal fiction. Miss Sea
well has evidently given very close atten
tion to the study of that period In history
In which tho scene of her romanco Is laid.
The book is qulto fully Illustrated by C.
M. Rolyea. Charles Scrlbner's SonB, New
York. Price, $1.50.
In his now book, "Tho Lane That Had
No Turning," Gilbert Parkor returns to the
field In which his reputation was made
and gives us a connected series of sketches
and talcs of French-Canadlon llfo, Includ
ing a Pontine novclutte of power furnish
ing the cltmnx of tho series, which Mr.
Parker has been engaged In writing during
tho past olght yenrs, and has only now
completed. Thin book contains the very
henrt und meaning of Mr. Parker's ob
servation of French llfo nud character
acuto In power nnd Incident and having
great beauty and charm of treatment.

tion of "Wealth Against Commonwealth,"
u poworful nrralgnmcnt of tho Standard Oil
company. Ho hits publlehcd sevnral other
works of Interest and has now brought out

tlvo explanation of tho workings of thcso
extensions of democracy. Tho .author has
tho advantage of tho acquaintance of th

"Intelligence In Plants and Animals" Is
a new edition cf Thomas O. Gentry's "Soul
nnd Immortality." It Is a largo volume of
almost 600 pases, profusely Illustrated. It
Is an unusual and Impressive book, being a
collection of strange and curious facts
from the life of aulmnls and plants, which
seem to bear out Mr. Gentry's claim of a
much higher ordor of Intelligence than Is
generally allotted them. In addition to
tho delightful description by tho author
of rcmarkablu worms, crabs, Insects, plants,
etc., the book contains eight striking full
page pictures photographed from llfo and
a very large number of smaller Illustra
tions. Tho book Is plain, but handsomely
bound, making un uttractlvn volume, with
out ns well ns within. Doubleday, Page &
Co., New York. Price, $2.
"Faiths of Famous Men" Is a unlquo
work. Thoro has never before, perhaps,
been an attempt to gather Into one volume
a consensus of the personal opinions of
the world's great thinkers and doers upon
tho leading topics of religious belief and
Dr. Kllbourn'n work thereforo stands alone.

Tho Putnams havo added to their
"Heroes of tho Nations" serlca tho history
of "Daniel O'Connell, and tho Hovlval of
National Llfo In Ireland," by Hobert Dun
lop, Tho author has devoted years uf
study to Irish history, on which subject
ho Is a recognized authority. In his pre
faco ho ndmlts that his admiration for
U'Connoll has steadily Increased, as ho has
studied more closely Into his llfo work, so
that tho friends of Ireland's cause may
rest assured that tho llfo of their national
hero has been written by n generous critic.
As O'Conuell's llfo was so closely Inter
woven with that of his country, the book
may be regarded almost as a history of a
most Interesting porlod of the struggles
and tiials of tho evergreen Isle. It might
be added that tho "HeroeB of tho Nations"
series will be found a most valuable ac
quisition to all readers who enjoy bio
graphical history. O. P. Putnam's Son ,
