The Steamboat Saloon Keeping Up
Its Reputation.
Albert Gourdier Slashed With Razor
Because He Refused to
Treat Tough.

The notorious Steamboat saloon at
Front and K streets is keeping up its
reputation as a rendezvous for tough
characters.
About $50 o'clock last night man
who gave his name as Albert Gourdler
rushed into the police station with blood
pouring from frightful cash on the LETT
side of his head. just over the temple.
Gourdier said he was in the Steambo
saloon and was about to lake a drink
when man there asked him to treat.
Gourdier said he refused to do so, when
the man pulled out a razor and slashed
him across the head.
The wound inflicted by the razor was
fully three inches long, and the weapon
went clear to the skull, severing three or
four arteries. So profusely dld The

who claims to have seen the cutting, was

SUSPICIOUS CONDUCT.
Two Outsiders Detected Comforting
With Prisoner in Jail.

Two Outsiders Detected ConferrinG
With Prisoner in Jail.
Officer Douglas last night made clever
capture of two men whom he detected in
attempting to smuggle something into
the city Jail.
Douglas is stationed at the Jail to re-
spond to calls at night. While outside
the building he saw the two men acting
very suspiciously under one of the barred
windows facing L street. One was stand
ing on the others shoulders and talking
to one Of the prisoners. Douglas COM
manded them to 60 with him into the
Jail. They showed disinclination TO do
SO, however, and, pushing the officer to
one side. started to walk away.
Douglas made up his mind that he had
two desperate men TO deal with, and
drawing his revolver he threatened 10
shoot them if they attempted TO resist
him. At the sight of the officers re-
volver they submitted and were marched
into the jail, where they gave the names
of Daniel Walters and Jack Williams.
Both men strenuously denied having
attempted to do anything wrong. They
said as they were passing the window in
the jail one OF the prisoners asked them
for some tobacco, and they thought they
would be doing nothing wrong if they
gave him some.
a prisoner in what is termed the hobo"
cell said he heard one of the men calling
Teddy ~ and heard them talking about
something, but what it was he could not
say, as their voices were not very distinct.
Williams said he pushed a package of
tobacco through the bars of the window,
but thorough search failed to reveal it.
Sergeant Plunkett and Officer Douglas
suspected that Walters and Williams vis-
tied the Jail for the purpose of passing

THE WOLF AT THE DOOR
Appeal for the Starving People of
Nebraska

Appeal for the Starving People of
Nebraska.
The following pitiful appeal appears in
the Ewing (Neb.) AdUocdte:
The lean, gaunt wolf OF hunger looks in
at the doors of the stricken homes of Ne
braska.
When the great black winged demon of
hunger takes his flight over the land, he
points with his bonY finger and says:
Nebraska is my master piece"
The old saying that "Pestilence walks
IN the wake of famine" ia being verified
in the West. The constant use of one
kind Of food IS resulting in a peculiar
stomach disease that always precedes the
famine pestilence" of India.
Hungry, despairing mothers, press their
little ones to their bosoms and sadly
think of the last sack of -four that is
nearly gone. We dread the next three
months more than the winter that has
past. The number of applicants have in
creased ten fold since we began to dis
tribute. The bright sunshine of spring
mocks US with the warning that it is seed
time. But where is the seed? Not one
farmer in ten has seed to plant, or feed
for his horses through the farming season.
If we cannot get seed our last hope will
sink behind the dark clouds OF despair
and dread. In your beautiful homes of
plenty, you cannot realize our abject want
and humlllatlng dependence.
Our labor is nard and our duty an
unpleasant one, but we cannot turn away
from the pleading faces of our neigh bors
when we know that the noble people of
the East viii render 1t possible for US To
prevent suffering.
The boomer and landshark have on
posed us and caused the iron hand of
hardship to oppress the poor women and
children OF Nebraska. But we thank the
Christian people OF the East that the
glorious mantle of charity has smothered
out the base misrepresentation Of the
cruel boomer.
The cities of Bloomington and Churu-
busco, Ind, and Wooster, Ohio. have
sent gladness to the homes OF our stricken
people.

where do you get SO much flour, Mrs.
Broaddus? / replied, ''In the Last. -

CUBAN REVOLUTION.

A Proclamation Issued by Insurgent Lead
crs-Reports from the Island Unreliable.
New York, May s.-Jose Marti and
Gen. Maxine Gomez issued yesterday,
ON behalf of the Cuban revolutionary
party, n proclamation in response to
the representations of Senior Canovas
and other prominent Spanish states
men, that the insurrectionary move
lnent in Cuba is of alien origin and
hound to fail. The proclamation states
that the rebellion was conceived in
patriotism, and declares that the in
surgent cause is espoused by the most
enlightened portion of the Cuban peo.
pie. The leaders declare that the re-
ports sent from Cuba are manufac-
tured out of whole cloth. Both Maceos,
1t is asserted, are alive, and the report
that Gen. Flor Crombet was killed in
battle last month is not credited.
