The Eahbath dF of "IwlpR rood" anil

finning of their places of buMness on that
das', nu enough and too much for a few
'if Omaha's liquor dlapeniwrs. The volun
tary action of a wek bko wan repeated by
a large nhare of the city's naloonkeepers
Sunday, but the almighty dollar and a
bleeding heart for the sufferings of tha
thlrnty made a limited number oblivious of
the Slocumb law and the warnings of Chief
of Pollre Donahue. In fact. In one In
stance,' the duly of the thirst-dostroye-r
toward ritlsens with a dryness, was held
mo obligatory that a blgT bank vault was
utilized In which to carry on the unlawful
buslnend, In order that It might be safely
protected from the greedy efforts of the
vigilant police to destroy It, 80 fr as
the annals of the Omaha police depart
ment record. It Is the first time In the his
tory of the city that a saloon has been In
full operation In the bowels of a vault,
bid from Inquisitive ones by thick and
mighty walls, and the door opened only
by combination.
Such a place was found In the old Mid
land Stato bank quarters at Sixteenth and
California streets, now occupied by L. II.
Teterson as a saloon. When the plan of
closing his saloon on Sunday became tire
some to the proprietor, he bethought him
self to make use of the big, useless vault
loom, 15x15 feet In dimensions, believing It
would surely be a "safe." place In which
to tako In a few nickels unseen and un
molested. .
Scheme Is DIeoTre,
Accordingly. Peterson fitted up the room
with a bar, cash register, and a full Una
of bottled goods ranging around the walla.
In order to get customers Inside the build
ing, .the Junch stand at the back of the
saloon started up for a blind. In case the
police should per In the door. Alt day
long all went well, and many sales were
rung up on the cash register. .
But, alas! In the evening Sergeant Cook
began nosing around with his squad, con
sisting of Patrolmen Ia. A. Smith. Waters
and Russell. Cook gained entrance to the
building, but his questions were met fairly
und with evident truth. Cook was sure
there was something doing, though, and
decided t Investigate thoroughly, when he
was saved further trouble by the faint
tinkle of the cash register bell coming from !
the vault door. The cat was out of tho
( beg, and after a half-dozen loafers had
been dinned out of the place the proprie
tor was hauled off to Jail.. s
IvquaJly Innocent was the appearance of
Henry Blohm's place. Sixteenth and Nich
olas streets,, a little later In the night, but
presently Cook succeeded in getting some
one on the Inside to -open the door, nnd
when the sergeant got his big foot over
the threshold It was all off. Iilohm denied
h was the proprietor, but while Cook was
busy telephoning for the wagon he sneakdd
oat of the door and got as tar as across
the street before he was again caught.
Patrolmen Reldy, Waters and Russell
sided In this raid. About a dozen men
were found drinking la the placet.
Raids Start In Afternoon.
The raiding of saloons found open hftgiin
at 8- o'clock In the afternoon, when Datce
tlves Dunn and Patullo swooped down on
tile, emporium of boose owned by Michael
MInlkus, at Twentieth and Pierce streets.
M)n)Wu was found In charge and aleo
greatly In his cups, so the additional charge
of being drunk was placed after his name
at the station. Shortly after dark Patrol
, man I ', A, Smith discovered the law being
' broken on his beat at Thomas Hart's sa
loon, Sixteenth and Cass streets, the re
sult, being Hart was locked up.
Fach at the saloonkeepurs was charged
with keeping a disorderly house. Instead of
keeping open on Sunday, as Is usually the
charge. The police feci, they cannot fall to
do something with that charge, when the
ethar talgbt not be sustulncd. Honda In
ten ease was fixed at $100 and nil but one
ef those Incarcerated si-cured their releae.
None of the inmates of the salooons raided
was arrested except those Intoxicated, tho'.r
names merely being taken by the police.
The action of the police Sunday In ap
plying so strlet'a remedy met with the
greatest Indignation on the part of the vic
tims, and others who, while they had
heeded the warning and kept their doors
locked fast, still deprecated , the rtrenuous
action and scored the Slocumb act. Said
one, whiU being taken to the station to
be locked up: "That's what a man gets.
How many and many policemen haven't I
put on this force, and this Is my reward."
But If he was heard he was not heeded.
Another, though not hlmxelf a breaker of
the law, bewailed the suffering caused the
poor and homeless "hobo" wandering about
the chilly streets, because his favorite
haunts smiled no welcome to him as he
p;i"Med. Th;S snoorikepr reeHVe n hi

borer and his place Is known wherever a

Titles the Poor "Hoboes."
"I honestly feel sorry for these, poor
hoboes who haven't any place to go but
the paloons," hv said. "They walk around
the 'streets tienrly froren, their money all
gone so they oan't rent a room, dt n cheap
lodging house, and but little clothing to
shield them from tha wind and cold. I
tell you this Slocumb law Ixn't right. J'd
like to keep open todny ns an accommoda
tion to these, suffering fellows, but the law
won't let me. Do you know, I n.a;iy felt
so sorry for a couple of fellows I mot
that I went to a lodging house and paid
for a room for them until tomorrow."
And tears almost stood In his eyes as he
contemplated the sufferings of tho wander
ing "hobo."
Chief Donahue was at the bottom of this
"Injustice," and he wasn't ashamed of It,
either. Furthermore, he evidently hus a
disposition to keep any and all men from
getting Insldo a saloon without breaking in,
for an Indefinite period. "Yes.'' said tho
chief In the evening, "I Issued orders to
keep all saloons clnjed and to arrest all
violators of the law. The better element
of the saloonkeepers has signified an In
tention of keeping closed and I Intend to
see that the low dives arc closed as well."
This determination on the part of Chief
Donahue became felt among tho liquor
men during tho week, and quite a number
of the saloons which opened early Sunday
morning as of old were suddenly shut up
tight upon the advlco of someone who
saw how the wind was blowing except
those few who came to grief In the after
noon and evening.
The saloon men were not the only ones
favored by the attentions of tho police.
Detectives visited a large number of drug
stores during the day, In sixteen of which
they purchased liquor without question.
The purchased liquor was duly labeled and
brought to tho station to be used as evi
dence. No arrests were made yesterday,
but It Is expected Informations will be
filed today !n all of the cases..

REPORTER OF MISSION TALKS
A. Sarldrlck of London Christian
Herald Tells of Terror
Missions.
A. Slieldrlck of London, who lias traveled
with the Torrey mission for the last four
years, occupied the pulpit at tho Second
Preshytorlan church Sunday morning. Mr.
Sheldrlck travels In the Interest of the Lon
don Christian Herald and told of the won
derful work Dr. Torrey has done In Wales,
America and England. He also spent- con
siderable time In telling of the Welch
relval, of Evsn Roberts and' his expe
rtorc 1 lii connection therewith.
"Revive thy work, oh, Loid, In the midst
of t"iy yGars; In wroth, remember mercy,"
chort lesson read by Dr. Burdlck, was
Inken as tho text to Mr. Sheldrlck's re-rr.arks.
It has been my province to follow Dr.
Torrey and when I left London this work
had begun to take hold of tho peopla In
many places where the people had gone to
backsliding," said the speaker.
'Some years ago I wan Impressed with
the need of giving my heart to God, the
inspiration co.nlng suddenly while walking,
and I nt once besan to consider what It
was to become a Christian. '
'Some years ago the people at a great
convention conceived ' the Idea that a re
vival of tha work of Ood' was needed.
Prayer circles were started and Dwlght L.
Moody received an Invitation' to come to
Melbourne. He died, and they sought all
over the world for some one to take his
place, and finally selected Dr. Torrey. He
went to Australia and took Mr. Alexander
with him as the best suited man he could
find to help with the music. They found
a wonderful preparation in Australia, a
chorus of l.SuO voices had been drilled, but
the best part was J. 000 prayer circles were
soon' formed; 8,500 conversions were made
In one month.
'Revivals were held In England and then
they went to Scotland, and the Scots criti
cised Mr. Torrey's method of having the
converts stand up. They said the people
of Scotland would never stand up, as they
were not used to that style. Dr. Torrey's
reply was that' It was God's style, and It
was poon found to be as f fflcaclous there
as elsewhere. The aovu generally puis
clogs In the wheels for the first fortnight
of Dr. Torrey's meetings, but the good
doctor always triumphs. A wonderful In
difference hung over Nashvlljs for the
first fortnight of our visit to that city.
but Dr. Torrey triumphed In the end.
"Dr. Torrey thought at first he had ben
chosen to write learned sermona, but he
soon found the field was to mingle hand in
hand with the people, and he has been a
wonderful success. When be meets dts
couragements he takes them to God. ' He
Is used to meeting with oppositions In tho
opening of his mission, bat he overcomes
them.
"If you wish to do good in the mission
you must forgive your enemies. We must
all examine ourselves to see If we are aj
we should be. Tfce people of Nashville,
where we Just worked, afe on fire to do
good and may get Omaha on tire. If you
get a. tittle criticism in tho papers, watch
a little later and you will see the chunge."

W. H. Robereon gave an illustrated
lecture at Trinity cathedral last night of
the destruction of St. Pierre,, using views
taken by himself eight days after tho
destruction,, he having gone to the Islaud
on tha goveyiment cruiser Dixie.
"The destruction . of 32,4(0 people In
twelve seconds was but a visitation of
the wrath of God on a hotbed of Iniquity.
Expert have all corae to the conclusion
that It was not the poisonous gases which
destroyed the people, but rather an elec
trical concussion. Many evidences bear
out this asrrtlon. People bad their
bodies burned ail over and still their
clothing was not touched. The only per
son who survived the catastrophe In xhi
city was found by us nine days after the
catastrophe, and he was a convict, who
went craay afterwards."
The pictures used by Mr. Roberson were
most beautiful and showed the Island and
the city before and after the vltltr.tlun,
and showed the power of the tleiaents !n

Pprcial pension Examiner Goodwin of
Kansas, now temporsrliy assisting Exam
iner Morrow at tho federal building In
Omaha, is familiar with the detailed his
tory of the famous Huston Corbott, lb
slayer of Booth, the slayer of Presldi-nt
Lincoln, and the other- day recalled a
great portion of . the Incidents of this
man's rnrlc and pathetic career, which
led an Omaha newspaper man to observe
that Lincoln saved the life of Corbett be
fore Corbett killed tho man who took the
life of Lincoln. Corbett had been sen
tenced to die for an alleged Infraction of
the military law and was pardoned by the
president.
One of the strangest anomalies of
Amerlcnjn history Is the peculiar treat
ment accorded by the government to Her
grant Boston Corbett, the slayer of Jonn
Wilkes Booth, the assassin of President
Lincoln. Nor Is tha government alono
In this estimate and treatment of Boston
Corbett, for withal his killing of Booth
for committing the most atrocious and
dramatic assassination of all American
tragedies, there halt been a disposition on
the part of the American people and par
ticularly those of the north, to regard
Corbett with something almost akin to
pitying contempt.
Sentiment for Fair Piny.
The only reason that can be assigned for
this feeling Is the Inherent American sen
timent for fair play nnd a fair show and
aversion toward the killing of a man at
bay, as was Booth In the burning barn
on. the Garrett farm forty-one years ago.
No cognizance is taken of the fact that
had not Corbett killed Booth, Booth would
have killed Colonel Baker, who was in
command of the pursuing party and of
which Corbett, as a member of the Six
teenth New Tork was - also -a member.
After the barn had been fired and one or
two of tho fugitives had come out and
surrendered, Booth still refused to sur
render. Colonel Baker was standing Jurt
before the barn door, then partly open,
and Booth had risen and leveled his gun
at the door. Corbott saw the movement
of ' Booth through a crack between tho
boards Corbett, standing at the other
sldo of the barn from Eaker and knowing
that Baker would be killed In, another
second drew up his own gun, and being
an expert marksman, shot and fatally
wounded Booth. The bullet, strange to
suy, followed almost ddenttcaJly the same
course that Booth's' bullet followed when
Booth shot President Lincoln In Ford's
theater. N
It will be remembered that Colonel
Baker's orders were to take Booth allvo
at any haxard. The enemies of Corbett
still Insist that Booth could have ueen
taken alive and that his murder by
Corbett was causeless and cowardly. Cor
bett's friends Insist that It was the stimu
lus of the $100,000 reward that Colonel
Baker expected to get that was respon
sible for the odium that has ever since
been heaped upon Corbett.
Corbett's real name was John Corbett.
He was a man of a very, religious tem
perament, religious to the vergo of abso
lute bigotry and he took the name "Bos
ton" In memory of his conversion at a
revival meeting in Boston 1 some time
previous to the war. He served through
out the war in the Sixteenth New York
Infantry, having risen to the rank of ser
geant. Lincoln. Saves His Life.
' A " remarkable and hitherto unpublished
Incident In his career lies In the fact that
during his term of enlistment as a soldier
he Is alleged to have committed some seri
ous infraction of military discipline and
was sentenced to death. His friends got
President Lincoln Interested In his behalf
and President Lincoln pardoned him.
Within a year afterward Boston Corbett
avenged the death of Lincoln by killing his
assassin.
8everal years after the war Boston Cor
bett disappeared from New Tork and was
next heard of In Kansas. His notoriety
had became so obnoxious to him that he
ought to bury himself from sight and
finally In Kansas, at Concordia. He always
felt he waa being hounded by avengers of
Booth and found it hard to make a living.
In the meanwhile he managed to secure
a pension of IS per month and was by
the Influcnco of Kansas friends, elected
doorkeeper during one term of the Kansas
legislature.
He afterwards bought eighty acres of
land In a hilly, and obscure section of the
state somo seven miles from Concordia
and sought to hide himself there on his
farm with his wife, whom he had married
some time after leaving the army. Some
of bis Concordia neighbors conceived the
Idea that he was craiy and succeeded in
having him sent to the insane asylum at I New York on
Topeka. He remained there some time, his Hanrahan state
wife dying in the meanwhile, pne day
Corbett disappeared from the asylum, tak
ing with him a pony belonging to a young
son of the asylum superintendent. The
superintendent knowing- that If Corbett
hod taken the pony It waa with no Intention
of keeping or stealing It. Four or five
days after, word was received from Neode
eha, Kan., that tha pony was there subject
to the order of tba superintendent and that
It had been left there by Boston Corbett,
with a small sum of money to pay for Its
use. This incident occurred In ISSt or '88
and from that moment Boston Corbett
dropped out of eight and memory of tha
world.
Ana This Strance Story.
And now comes a strange and Interesting
story that arpears for tha first time la
publlo print, though it Is of record In the
Persian deportment at Washington and Is
told by Special Pension Examiner Goodwin,
fomerly of the Kant-as district, but now
temporarily on duty assisting Pension Ex
aminer Morrow at the federal building In
Omaha.
"Yes, I knew Boston Corbett quite well,"
said Examiner Goodwin to a reporter for
Tho Bee. "I wis detailed upon Corbett s
case In about 1!M. The case cams up In
this say: Along some tire In 19u0 a letter
was received by the county judge of Cloud
county, Kansas, from a party from some
point In Texas asking him to furnish him a
record of Boston Corbett'a commitment to
the insane asylum. The writer - gave the
name of John Corbett and stated that ba
was then engaged In peddling' patent medi
cines In Texas and that under the law he
could not peddle medicines to that state
without a license. He believed, however,
that if he could get a record of Boston
Corbett'a commitment to the asylum that
It would aid him In his work and might
avoid the necessity of his paying the state
license. The county judge thought be
recognized some peculiarities of Boston
Corbett In the letter and after writing to
hln: acd receiving another reply was aatis
