THOSE SCHOOL DISKS.
Morrow Tells How He Work ed For the
Grand Rapils Firm.

The school board Investigating committee
met again last night. Only two of the eight
asked TO appear before the investigators
made an appearance. These were Messrs.
Ferguson and Morrow. The latter was called,
and he stated that he was an employe of the
school board, and had aDsented himself from
work to assist the introduction into the
schools of the Grand Rapids school com
pany's desk. He acknowledged having had
suppers with certain members of the board,
and said ne had been sent a check for S25 by
the agent of the Grand Rapids company. He
had also introduced the agent to members of
the school board. The agent had also told
him that he would lose nothing by watching
the interests of the company. He had, how
ever, used no undue influence with any mem
Der of the board.
Mr.. Ferguson, manager for Shivericll &
Co., said that he was the acting local agent
for the Grand Rapids company He had in
structcd Clancey TO call on certain members
of the board because these members were
patrons of the firm and hal voted for their
desks. He had never seen any money spent
and didn't know OF any one having received
any.
The committee concluded the investigation
and will make their report to the board at
the next general meeting, which takes place
next week.

2DEs MONIES, Ia, Dec.k a. Special Tele-
gram to TnE BEE The town of South
English is considerably excited over the
threats of crazy man named William
McGee. He had a good sized pocket-knife
sharpened very sharp, with which he was
making his threats. He was permitted to
run at large until the passenger train came
in when he boarded it, knife in hand swear
ing vengeance on all that opposed him, when
DIR. Nusium boarded the train and persuaded
HIM to get off. He then started off up town.
BY this time a warrant was issued for him
and an officer with a posse of men started
after him. When they overlook him they
had TO knock him down with clubs before
they could take him. He was brought before
Judge Pratt and was pronounced tempo
rarily insane. Sunstroke in the army, with
drinking and gambling, are together thought

A CORSET AND A RIB.
They Prevented a Double Tragedy at
Blair Inst Nj yht.

BLAIR, Neb., Dec A. Special Telegram
to TIE BEE. While a large number of
people were on their way to the opera house
last night they were startled by the report of
a revolver fired twice in rapid succession in
the rear of the dlning-room of the CONNER
cial hotel. An investigation disclosed that
Peter Stewart did the shooting, and his wife,
Ella Stewart and himself were tho targets.
Stewart has been resident of Blair for the
past twelve years and was, until some five
years ago, a well-to-do, sober and industrious
citizen. About that time he commenced to
drink and then to abuse his family In a
short time his wife began proceedings for a
divorce. The case was pending long time
in the courts at Omaha In the meantime
Stewart commenced to live with his present
wife, who then was married. She also com
menced divorce proceedings, and upon the
termination of both cases Stewart and the
woman were married. Since then they have
lived a rather eventful life, quarreling and
separating for short periods until about two
months ago, when they broke up. house
keeping and Mrs. Stewart went to work
at the Commercial house. She seems to
have refused to have anything further to do
with him. and last night about 5 o'clock he
walked up to the rear door of the hotel din
ing-room, which is partly of glass. and opens
on to the street. Seeing her standing in the
room he beckoned her to the door, and then
asked her If she was going to the show
She simply shook her head in the
at her with a thirty eight bulldog revolver
The ball struck the steel spring OF her cor
set and was stopped, simply making a dent
in the flesh and doing no further harm.
Thinking he had killed her he Immediately
turned the pistol towards his heart and fired.
The ball struck rib in glancing manner
and passed around his body, lodging some
where in his back. Both will recover.

How Mrs. Wilcox Was Shot.

O'NEILL, Neb., Dec H. Especial to THE
BEE. several witnesses have been exam
amned on the part of the state IN the Wilcox
case Mr.. Townsend, the first to reach the
house after the shooting, testified that he was
short distance from the house when he heard
the report of tho revolver. In a minute or
two Wilcox rushed out exclaiming 81 shot
my wife, come quick!" Witness ran to the
house, and found Mrs. Wilcox lying on her
back on the bed with a pillow under her
head, with a covering over her as though she
had been sleeping. She had dress on and
an under garment. There was a rent three
or four inches long in the dress, and not so
long IN the under-garment. Both dress and
and blackened. Wilcox threw himself down
by the bed and implored his wife to speak.
She moved but slightly, and was dead in a
short time There was wound as of a bull
let just over her heart. DR.. Shore, the
coroner, and DR.. Eisaman, who examined
and probed the wound, testified that the ball
struck just over the heart, about
tering the upper part of the heart.
Mr.. Blinco, a gunsmith living just across
the road from Mr.. Wilcox, said he sold Viii.
cox revolver about four days before the
shooting occurred. On the morning of the
shooting Wilcox brought the revolver to his
shop and said it did not work right Blinco
examined it and found nothing the matter
with it, and told him it was all right. Wilcox
took it and the cartridges and went out. Mrs.
Blinco heard the shot about ten minutes
after Wilcox left the shop, as stated by her
husband. Mr.. u. w. Jones corroborated the
statement of Townsend. The trial will
probably continue all of this week.

gram to THE BEE. Members of the Des
Moines conference who We're members of
the appellate court of the Methodist Episco-
pal church, held at Indianapolis, returned
to-day. They heard the appeal of Rev. W.
F. Laidley, of Jefferson, a Methodist minis
ter who was charged with adultery. He was
first tried by his district conference and ex-
PEELED from the ministry. He took an ap-
peal to the appellate court, which in the in
tervals of the four years between the gen
eral conferences hears all such appeals
That court was composed of delegates from
seven Methodist conferences, with Bishop
Merrill, of Chicago. presiding Two days
were consumed in the trial and the court, by
vote of twelve to seven, refused to grant a
new trial or reverse the finding of the lower
court Laidley will therefore remain expelled
from the ministry. He had been arrested
and Indicted by the criminal court for seduc-
tion, but he set up the statute of limitations
and the case was dismissed. The Iowa mem
bers of the ecclesiastical court We're Rev. j.

He Was Playing Possum.

O'NEnL, Neb,, Dec. 14,-[Special Tele-
gram to TIE BEE.l-I now transpires that
one j, Letter of this county, who was re-
ported to have shot himself on last Friday
evening, at his home in the south part of the
county, was only playing a game for sym
pathy and to bring his wife, who had sued
for divorce, back TO him. IL is automatically
reported here today that he produced sore
spot on his side or breast with some sharp
instrument, and then shot the revolver into
the floor. II was the wonder of the people
here that he should attempt to shoot himself,
and now they are still more puzzled to think
he would make such a break. Your CORE

living with him and will probably Withdraw

The Druggists.

WATERLOO, Ia, Dec. 14.-TSpecal to THE
BEE. "A move of considerable magnitude is
now going on among the druggists of the
state. 1t is no less than The resumption of
liquor selling, which, in majority of the
counties, was discontinued on the expiratio n
of permits taken out under the 'old law,n or
about October /, of the the present year.
The movement is a general one, yet the
action is more readily explained by noting its
progress in this county, one of the first to
issue permits under the new law, which
druggists maintained was so stringent in its
provisions that no self-respectlng man could
work under them. However, as the trade
in liquors was in nearly all cases profitable,
and in many cases the most profitable part of
all the trade, two months loss OF this profit
has aided somewhat the druggists to over
look the harsher features of the law. At n
meeting Of the Black Hawk County Drug
glsts' association last summer an agreement
was entered into by the members, bind
ing themselves not TO sell Intoxicating
liquors under the new law governing the
traffic This agreement remained IN force
untils December /, and was faithfully OBJ
served by all the parties thereto. But there
was a leak somewhere. Saloons were closed,
druggists had ceased to sell, Temperance
billiard halls" were interdicted, and yet
some men would persist IN casting shame on
the prohibition law by getting as drunk as
they had ever done before the enactment of
the first prohlbitory statute.
This secret work was quiet but effective,
and it SGT several classes of people to think
ing, and among these were the druggists.
AT a meeting held in this city Wednesday,
the obligation was dissolved, and number
of the druggists have circulated their petit
tions with view TO applying for permits at
the next january term of court.
1t is fact rarely disputed by busi
ness men that where liquor is sold
their trade. is likely to grow in
volume, so that If liquor is sold in Black
Hawk county, the equilibrium of county
trade can be preserved only by liquor selling
In contiguous counties. This reactionary
move is spreading, and before many months
the dread Of the new law viii have been lost
10 a large degree.
II is an open secret that dozens of thirty.
ing towns encourage the sale of intoxi-
eating liquors with the intention of attract
ing trade. These places, however, are In
nearly every case, the center Of foreign
colony, the Germans usually predo minating.

There was another meeting of the Hascall
faction of the council Thursday night
at a resort on Howard street. The
object was TO comparenotes as to
the prospect of electing the great
defeated as president of the council. Re-
ports were not very encouraging, and speak
ing of the delusion of the cousprators, IL
leading official yesterday said:
"There is no ciance for Hascall being
elected. l tell sou, it would be an outrage
for any council to put into the presidents s
chair thereof man whom the people had
showed under by $500 votes. No eighteen
men have a right to do it and no eighteen
men have the courage TO insult the people by
doing it. There are two men who hold the
key TO the situation. They will be held re-
sponsibe for their action and am satisfied
their action will be all right. They mean to
do what is gOOd.n

Fires at Lincoln.

LINCOLN, Neb., Dec. 14-tSpecial Tele-
gram to THE BEE. Between 3 and o'clock
this afternoon the handsome suburban resi-
dence of Mr.. j. c. Williams, aud the two
residences that adjoined him on the north,
were discovered to be on fire. 1t occurred
during the absence of the family, but hard
work enabled the neighbors to save every
thing of value on the first floor. Before the
arrival of the engines, however, the flames
engulfed the entire building and the sharp
south wind drove the fire into the buildings
on the north, and dispite the vallent efforts
Of the fremen, they too were soon doomed
The great streams of water thrown upon the
burning buildings seemed to have no effect.
The household effects of the gentlemen who
lived on the north of the Williams residence,
however, were saved, but every TIMBER of
the buildings was burned to ashes. The loss
is estimated at $4,000. Two of the pesi-
dences were among the finest in that part of
the CITY, the other was small story-and-a-
half building. The origin of the fire is un-
known, The tiremen hardly had time to turn
around before the fire alarm was again
turned on aud another run was made, the
gas works having been discovered to be on
fire. The winds were driving the flames
rapidly through all parts of the main
building, and when the engines arrived they
had made such headway that it seemed an
impossibility to save it. Great danger fol-
lowed the firemen in their efforts The
chances We're against saving any portion of
the works. III the fire should penetrate the
walls OF the east wing of the building or
reach the retorts or reservoir several lives
hung in tho balance. An excited throng
hung around the burning building. The
suspense was great. An explosion was
talked OF and expected by many, but tho
steady stream of water and brave work of
the fire brigade prevented greater catas-
trophe, but the main building was ruined
The engines and machinery, however, es-
capped injury. The fire was caused by the
gine. The loss is fully $4,000. At times it
seemed that the water supply would fail To
meet the demand.

Mr.. Hooker of Mississippi introduced a

MIR. Clardy of Missouri moved that the
house go into committee of the whole ON the
private calender for further consideration of
the Nicaragua canal bill, and pending this
motion moved that ali debate on the bill and
amendments thereto be limited to forty min
utes.
Mr.. Blount of Georgia raised point of
order against the latter motion, contcndmg
that the debate could be limited only on II
specified section of the bill, and not upon the
entire measure This point was discussed at
considerable length. In order to settle the
question, Mr.. PaYson of Illinois offered an
amendment providing that the bill shall be
read by sections, the debate on the first sec
ton being limited to thirty minutes.
Mr. Wilson of Minnesota, rising to ques-
tion of privilege, sent to the clerks desk and

Minstrelsy was the rcignng entertainment
In Omaha last night, the stages of both OPP

moderate size. The company has some good
material in it, and it adheres more closely
than some of the other organizations do to
the old style of performance which, wheh
rendered by thoroughly good people, is far
more enjoyable than minstrelsy with the
modern innovations. The special features
presented by this company are clever, but as
a whole the entertainment of last night can
