NEWS FROM COUNCIL BLUFFS
Several Saloons Too Near Churches to Con-
form 10 the New Law.
MUST MOVE OR CLOSE THEIR DOORS
City Attorney Hazicton Put in the Day
Making Measurements and Has the job
About Compieted-On Twelve
More to Measure.

City Engineer Etnyre was busy a good
part Of yesterday making measurements Of
the distances Of saloons from all adjacent
churches or school houses, to ascertain "
any of them were barred by the 300-foot
limit. He was instructed to do this by the
city council some time ago, but he post
poned taking any action until he could
receive a report from the city attorney on
the question Of how the measurements were
to be taken, as there seemed to be doubt
as to whether the line should be run from
entrance to entrance, along the sidewalk, or
in an air line such as man would be apt
to follow II he wanted a drink in a hurry.
Yesterday morning City Attorney Hazel
ton reported that the line should be run
from the saloon to the nearest point on the
church school, and Etnyre commenced
his Investigations. During the day he meas
ured about fifty saloons, so that he now
has about dozen to look after. OF the
fifty he only found five that were within
the prescribed limit Claus Thompson is
right across the street from the Broadway
Methodist church, so that he is about 200
feet too close. The saloon Of Hahn & Zim-
merlis, near the corner of Broadway and
Sixth streets Is $50 feet from the First
Baptist church, and the Omaha, fremont
horse, and Metropolitan hotel are consider
ably too near the German Lutheran church
at the corner of Ninth street and Avenue
a. All of these will have to be ruled out
by the council In accordance with the pro-
visions of the new law

I,aided !. Rambling House.

Late Friday night the city marshal's de-
partment got out after the propretors Of
the upstairs department Of the Mint saloon
on Middle Broadway, on the supposition
that they were engaged in keeping a
gambling house. The officers entered both
front and back doors simultaneously and
surprised about fifty men In the act Of bet
ting on the red. There was a hasty exodus,
but out of the crowd the officers managed to
secure John Scheffler, the proprietor, and
his employees, j. c. Hanford, better known
as "Suspender Jack" w. II. Morton, j.
O'Neal, j. o. Davis and Frank Wells. They
gave bonds for their appearance and were
discharged for the rest of the night.
In police court yesterday morning they
were given a hearing. 1t seemed that they
had been given some reason prior to the
last city election to hope that they might
be allowed to run If they did 1t quietly.
During the races a gambling house was run
at the driving park under the protection OF
the police and marshals department, and
Scheffler and his men inferred from this that
they could run without fear of moestation.
The fact that a crap joint was being op-
Grated each night in a saloon less than two
blocks from the police station was another
straw that showed which way the wind
blew The court thought their offence was
not very serious one under the circum-
stances, and so he only fined Schefiier $l4.6O
and discharged the rest on their promise OF
future good behavior,

ALL CURABLE DISEASES MEDICINES FREE.
FEES OF DRS. COPELAND & SHEPARD THE LOWEST Eve
a Large Numbers
ing Advantage OF u-Many Wealthy People
Among the Applicants.

II is known that OF late n great many
very wealthy people, as well as a great
many people of eminence in the profess
sions, have been preaching the merits of
the Copeland & Shepard medical system
with the zeal OF honest missionaries.
Thoughtful men and women in all parts Of
the city are reminding the sick and ATHLETE
of the helping hand extended by thesa
physicians and urging them TO take advan-
tage of It, And the people doing this pri-
vate mission work save all been patients
OF, and are personally conversant with, tine
merits Of the system,
From all of which II would seem fair to
infer just this: That the Copeland 4 shep,
ard system of chronic disease treatment,
while provided on such terms that the poor
can afford II, is no more " the poor mans
treatment than the rich mans treat
ment." 1t Is exactly the system that is
chosen by many scholars and by many
intelligent wealthy people as the best that
the world affords.

General Kelsey and army arrived at

PEELED to board a boat and were taken TO
Shoquon landing, six miles down the Mis-

seemed to be acting in the capacity of 'un-

ing Burlington so suddenly, but one or two
leaders, including the Omaha reporter, were
placed under arrest and were taken aboard,
when the rest meekly followed, and the boat
Soulled out amid cheers.

Lawyers Versus Omcials.

The game of base ball at the driving
park yesterday between the attorneys and
the city and county officials was very in
teresting affair There was a great many
things about it that would have been objec-
tionable to a base ball artist and the
errors flew in with such amazing rapidity
that the diamond became too much crowded
at times for comfort. But for unaduter-
ated fun it was just what the public had
been waiting for, and the by-plays and mis-
plays were applauded with as much en-
joyment as though 1t had been Ansons colts
that were getting pounded into the earth in
their well known way. The game only
lasted five innings, though why it was the
city and county officials could not exactly
determine further than that the announce
ment of the umpire was made after a short
discussion between the umpire and some of
the members of the legal nine. The work
of Etnyre and Askwith in the pitchers box
and of Thomas and Canning Of the officials
and Schury of the attorneys behind the bat
was highly artistic. At the end of the fifth
inning game was called, the attorneys win
