W. L. HOLlAND It CHOSEN AS CAPTAIN
Several Veterans of Klrst Nebraska
IOnllut Ih Ktw Organisation and
Drilling -Will Be Began
Soon.
A troop ot cavalry to be mustered Into
the Nebraska National Guard was organlzod
last night. W. ' L. Holland, Is captain,
Bruco Mcculloch Is first lieutenant and
Harry Tagg Is second lieutenant. Dr.
Tlsche Is the surgeon 0 ihe troop. Tho
meeting was hold In the council chamber
and was well altcbded. About fifty young
men enrolled their names on tho lists and a
dozen more who wilt sign sent word that
they wero unable to attend on account ot
previous engagements.
The formation ot this troop was talked
ot last summer, but for some reason ac
tion was deterred until now. It Is under
stood that the state will muster tho troop
In rs soon as tho officers qualify.
By action ot those present tho commis
sioned offlctrs wore authorized to sppolnt
tho non-commlcsloned officers and this will
bo dono nt a meeting) to bo held In tho
council chamber on Monday night.
The, selection ot ft drill mastor came up
and It was agreed that sorao cavalry officer
would ho secured to Instruct, tho troop In
tho drills pertaining to tbls arm ot tho
service.
All of tho officers ot the troop aro well
and favorably known here, and the fact
that tho election went oft without any Jar
showed that the- cholco was unanimous.
Several veterans ot the First Nebraska
havo enlisted and moro than likely will bo
given positions as non-commissioned offi
cers. Arrangements are to be made' at once re
garding tho use of a halt and drills wilt be
held twice a week1 until the troop Is mus
tered In, which will be, so It Is stated,
within the next thirty days.
Captain Holland says that he Is going to
push tho troop right along and In this ho Is
seconded by his two lieutenants.
Agitating Improvements.
If tho East Side Improvement club has Ub
way, the promised boulevard from the east
ern part ot tho town through Syndicate
park' from there on to Omaha wilt have
been fully completed by the time the pic
nickers of the county begin to look for fa
vorable sites In which to bold meetings.
This club maintains that Syndicate park
Is tho finest natural park In tbls part ot
the state and that there Is no reason why
It cannot be made Into a popular pleasure
resort. It further contends that If this
proposed boulevard Is ever really con
structed It will be a great advertising me
dium for the part ot the town In which the
park Is located;
There seems no doubt but that the South
Omaha Land company will do just as It has
promised tho Improvement club. It. was a
long time before It would give the club
any definite answer to Its proposition ,ot
having tho boulevard built, but when the
club did recelvo a reply, It was to tho ef
fect that everything requested by It would
bo done. In addition to this the land com
pany volunteered to do some other Im
provement work. Now tho Improvement
club is waiting for thelan'd company to
commence the work it has promised.
Claims Individual Liability.
The claims of, Superintendent McLean as
to the operation ot the resolution of the
Board ot Health regarding compulsory vac
cination In tho schools, caused no end
ot talk In South Omaha yesterday, Sev
eral ot the health board wero seen and
when tbo subject Was broached to them
they feelingly referred to the provisions
ot the ordinance. By the terms of the
health ordinance of the city, It would seem
that teachers "are Individually liable for
allowing pUplls who havo not been vac
cinated to enter the schools. The ordi
nance docs not seem to relate to tho Board
of Education, but deals directly with tho
teachers. One member ot the health board
said that It was necessary to enforce tho
resolution passed by tho board, he was
In favor of causing the arrest of every
teacher in tho city. Tho Board of Health
says that it Is not necessary for the Board
of Education to do anything In regard to
the resolution, but that It takes effect
whether they desire It or not.
Closing Up Saloons.
It Is said that She police have notified
several ot tho saloons of the city to quit
business at once or be closed. Complaints
have boen numerous lately about 'alleged
crooked work being carried on In several
saloons and tho police say that every com
plaint Is being Investigated, and ias soon
as any ground Is found for the lodging
of the protest, the place complained ot
will be closed without further delay and
tho council asked to revoke the license.
As a result several saloons have suddenly
gono out ot business. '
C'onncll to Print Ordinances,
It Is said that the council now contem
plates tho printing ot tho ordinances of
the city as compiled some months ago.
At the time of the compilation the manu
script was bound In substantial manner
and has slnco been used In this .form. How
ever, It is thought a good plan to have
them printed In pamphlet form, and to
distribute them about the city. Since the
compilation of tho ordinances several Im
portant ones have been passed and many
of those Included within tho compilation
submitted to tho council havo been either
amended or repealed.
Streets Are ley.
Soveral minor accidents occurred yestor
day by reason of the Icy condition ot tho
streets and sidewalks. Business people
along Twenty-fourth and N atreets wero
notified during tho day to clean off their
sidewalks, but up to last evening there
wero quite a few that presented the ap
pearance ot a well-glazed skating rink.
The streets, however, are In a worso con
dition than the walks, and horses were
seen to fr.!l upon the pavement frequently
during the day. The shade from the busi
ness houses on the south aide ot the street
prevented this part from melting at all, and
It waa In a bad condition all day.
Ilabeoek Wants Money.
V. S. Babcock, formerly police Judge of
South Omaha, has filed a claim for three
months' back salary and the finance com
mittee now has tho matter under con
sideration. Mr. Babcock asserts that he
Is. entitled io his wages for his term ot
office, which was for two years. Owing
to some change In the law, Judge King ap
peared as a candidate, and so did Babcock,
with the result that the latter was de
feated. Whether the claim Is a just one
or not rests with tho finance committee
and the city attorney. A renort will he
pma.de to the council on this matter at the
first meeting in February,
Mnale City tlosslp.
C. A. Melcher Is under the doctor's caro
on account of an affection of the liver.
There will bo a meeting of the Anti
Saloon tongue at the Klrst Presbyterian
church on Sunday night.
Members of the Board of Education as.
sert that they will maka no effort to defend
themselves on account of the grand Jury

of tholr nctlons hove been open ami above

A couplo, evidently newly married, went
Into the police stntlon last night on a
sight-seeing tour, and though refused ad
mittance to the cell room nt that hour, saw
enough sights In twenty minutes to satisfy
them tor tho remainder of their lives, ac
cording to tho manner In which tho brldo
dragged her husband from the room.
Tho man walked up to Desk Sergeant
Hudson and with an air of superior wisdom,
said: "Sergeant, my wife has not seen
much ot city life and desires to bo shown
aonie ot tho unfortunates." Ho was Informed
that as It was too late to go Into tho cell
room, It would be better to come back In
tho morning. "Well, that's too bad." said
the bride, "I did want to sec thorn tonight"
and see them they did,
As tho disappointed couplo were about
to leave the Btatlon the patrol wagon re
turned bringing a woman under the In
ftueace of liquor. When tho woman entered
tho room sho Jcrkcdff her hat, giving It
ft sail through the air' and It took tho bride

brute," sho, leered. Bofore tho faco ot tho
bride had regained Us color a mascullno
drunk was brought In. As he passed tho
bride an unsteady hand was reached out
In her direction and he remarked; "We
all has to come, don't wo honoy; but what's
thoy got you for?"
As tho Indlgnaat bride drow away front
tho drunken man sho almost ran Into Offi
cer Shields bringing in Boston Green, who
was a little drunker than usual and swore
a llttto louder and with less attention to
harmony. In less than two minutes aftor
bolug placed In tho celt Boston had every
prisoner swearing as loud as he could, the
female prlsonors Joining In the chorus.
Whllo tho concert was nt Its height ono
man was brought In with delirium tremens,
another woman was Jailed who was too
drunk to create a disturbance, four men
had applied for lodging, and somothlng
wrong with tho npparatus set the flro gong
sounding. As the bride dragged hor hus
band from the room, sho saw Officer Taylor
bringing in two women charged with fight
ing, and each expressing her opinion of tho
other in tones that could be heard a block
away. The couple remained In tho station
not more than twenty minutes, "and It
wasn't a good night for eights, either," re
marked one of tho officers.
BRIGHAM YOUNG'S CARRIAGE
It Now Graces the Scrnp Heap In a
Montana Tovrn.
In' the scrap heap In tho back yard of an
old stable In the southern part ot Butte,
says the Montana Record, llo the rusted and
decaying remnants ot a, carriage that onco
upon a time used, to trundle through the
broad streets of Salt Lake City, convoying
Brigbam Young and as many of his wives
as could be conveniently crowded Into It
to church or out to the suburbs attor air.
It was a very flno hack and the envy ot all
In the city of Zlon. It came to Butte In
1882 with a lot of secondhand rummage that
Crano ot Salt Lako City' sent up here to
be disposed of.
Charles Palmer mounted the box one dar
down In front of .Dolman's tocdstoro, n
Park street, whero thqt Curtis, block now
stands, and sold tho hack Xo the highest
bidder. Thore wero several men qt wealth
who wanted tho hack, but their limit was
from t500 to $600. Finally J. A. Murray
took It for J675. "Fat Jack," tho veteran
of all the hack drivers of Butte, and Tom
Mays, then a, hack driver, now a millionaire,
at onco opened a splrltod contest for tho
temporary possession of tbo coveted back.
Mays was willing to pay $100 a month for
the use ot It, but Jack outbid him, and he
offered to give Mr. Murray $5 In gold every
day for the uso of It, which offer was ac
cepted. Jack paid $5 a day for It tor six years, or,
In all, $10,050, which, It will be noted at a
glance, was a pretty good return on an in
vestment of $675.
Tom Mays then ronted the hack that Fat
Jack had turned Into a gold mine for the
owner, and for many months Uncle Tom
Mays sat upon the low seat under tho root
of tho pioneer cab and collected many,
many fares.
The hack was msde at Brlgham Young's
order In 1861 In tho east and coBt $5,000.
It was carried across the plains, from Chi
cago in sections on freight wagons, and Its
arrival at the Young residence was marked
by much' grateful expression on ihe part of
Mesdames Young, who had boen walking
all the years since 1850 to the church and to
market. It was one of the first hacks, If
not the first, that came to Butte, and It
was the. first piece ot junk that Charles
Palmer sold at auction In Butte.

LEAVES RAMILING MESSAGE BEHIND
Tells of I.onB-Enilurert Mental and
Physical Sufferings Which
Prompted Him to End Hla
Earthly Existence.
Matthias Henry Simon, 37 years old, for
merly engaged with his father In the hard
ware business at Codar Ilaplds, Boone
county, Neb., committed suicide at 10
o'clock yesterday by swallowing throe
ounces of carbolic acid and one-eighth of
on ounco ot strychntno at the Metropolitan
hotel. Tho body Is now In the undertaking
rooms of the coroner.
Since last July Mr. Simon had been an
lnmato ot tho St. Bernard hospital In Coun
cil Bluffs, where for two months he wne
confined to tho Insane ward. After that
time, as ho bad shown signs of decided
Improvement,' he was given tho freedom
of tbo grounds. He waB considered harm
less, but as he was physically as well as
mentally sick, he continued to undergo
treatment at the Institution.
At 8 o'cIock yesterday morning he came
took advantage of tbo freedom allowed htm
to escape 4 from tho "grounds' and come to
Omaha. Early In the evening ho entered
the office ot the Metropolitan hotel.
Twelfth and Douglas streets, and said he
wanted a room. The clerk assigned him to
room 36, and Simon signed the register as
'Kay Marquels."
"From that time on," said tho clerk, "ho
acted very norvous, constantly running up
and downstairs and making repeated de
mands for writing paper and messenger
boys. He dldrft talk much, however, and
It never occurred to mo to question his
sanity."
Talking to Himself.
Tho night clerk says Simon did not go to
bed at all .during tho night, but could be
heard walking the floor and talking to him
self. About 8 yesterday morning he camo
downstairs and went out without break
fast Returning twenty minutes later, he
went to his room. At 10 o'clock a chamber
maid heard a sound as ot a heavy body
falling to the floor In room 3C; Bhe noti
fied tho clerk that something was wrong
thero. This led to an investigation and
to tho forcing ot tho door, which waa
locked on the Inside.
Simon was lying on the floor 'unconscious,
his arms and legs "flexed," which, to
physicians, Is a sign of tho convulsions at
tending strychnine poisoning. Dr. Borglum,
the police surgeon, Was called at once, but
tho patient was dying when be arrived.
On the floor beside htm were two bottles,
one of which had contained threo ounces ot
carbolic acid purchased of a Council Bluffs
pharmacist, the other was a one-eighth
ounce phial and was labeled, "strychnine."
This was from an Omaha drug store. Both
were empty. On the washstand wero two
letters, one addressed to The Omaha Bee
and the other to the Council Bluffs Non
pareil. Leaves nnniMlug Message.
Tho writing In Tho Boo envelope was
rambling and Incoherent, consisting prin
cipally of prayers and references to tho
"tortures" and "excruciating pains" he had
suffered. There wero Ave sheets of note
paper in all, and on each his namo and
address, "M. II. Simons, Cedar Ilaplds,
Boono county, Neb,," woro written several
times. Ono paragraph read, "My sister,
Mrs. Lucy Androws, lives at Nineteenth and
Eleventh strcots, Omaha." It Is1 supposed
that ho meant Nlnotconth and Leavenworth
stroets. Another paragraph read as fol
lows: "Our Father who art In heaven will cer
tainly succor tho Invalid, Henry, who has
been tortured close to death. 0 God, 0
God, O God! How I have suffered the
excruciating pains ot doath, and could see
no end. "I havo been a martyr, and am
certainly gong to heaven. Ood bless
mother and sisters."
The coroner has notified the father of tho
deceased at Cedar Rapids, also tho sister,
Mrs. Andrews. It Is not likely that there
will be an Inquest.
