CURTAILS THEIR RATIONS
Jailer Takes Heroic Measures to Keep His
Prisoners Quiet,
THREE OF THEM PUT ON BREAD AND WATER
HID Been Amusing Themselves by
Seeing How Much Noise They
Gould Make and INSULT
ing pnsscrsty.

Three of the prisoners at the county Jail
are getting n little touch of tough luck as
a reward for innate cussedness that has been
breaking out on them for several weeks.
Life in the Jail is monotonous at best and
Joe Perkins. a six months prisoner, and w.
Leroy and Fred Anderson, charged with
larceny at Manawa, grew tired of the daily
round some time ago and have been varying
it with inventions of their own to drive dull
care away. They had cells that furnished
a partial view of the street and alley and
amused themselves by yelling at passersby
and hurting epithets at women who came
within range Of their vision.
Jailer Al Morgan has been bothered con-
sidcrably at the conduct of his prisoners and
has sought by mild means to put them on
better behavior, but without results. Yes
terday morning the three men started a row
in the Jail by pounding on the cell doors and
kept up such a yelling that the neighbors
thought the Jail was being torn down. Then
MIR. Morgan took more decisive action. He
had the three obstreperous fellows removed
TO a remote part of the cells and told them
they would be kept on bread and water for
a few days or weeks or months. He advised
them of the dangers of overeating during
the heated term and promised them there
would be no risk on their part in that direc-
ton for some time. The order had the de-
sired effect and the Jail was as quiet during
the rest of the day as the store of the man
who fails to advertise.

Organize Military Company ut CIeyc-
land with Seven Hundred Members.
CLEVELAND, o., Aug. 5.-The knights
of Labor, at a meeting last night, took
steps toward the organization of a military
company. Letters were ordered sent to all
the local assemblies asking each to furnish
a certain number of able-bodied men. The
intention is to organize a regiment of
about 700 members and drill them in mill
tary tactics.
The Brown strikers have resorted to in
junction proceedings in the effort to bring
the company to terms. This evening a petit
tlon was filed in the common pleas court by
l.. A. Russell, as attorney for William Stan
ley, a taxpayer, praying for a restraining
order against the Brown company and the
mayor to prevent the calling out of addi-
tional military companies or the making of
a display of force in the vicinity of the
works calculated to provoke a breach OF the
peace. The petition, which Is very long,
recites the whole story of the lockout and
strike and declares that all the trouble has
been caused by sympathizers and not by the
strikers themselves. 1t is alleged that the
calling out of the police and the militia has
ontailed an unnecessary expense upon the
taxpayers and for that reason the injunction
Is asked. Judge Noble set the hearing for
Friday morning without granting a tenn
porary restraining order.
The Central Labor union tonight failed TO

fTfxfa vi II "a ri XXI Z? iWSF
The storm yesterday did considerable
damage in and about the city, besides badly
frightening a great many people. The tele-
phone and electric light companies suf-
fered most. For a time all telephone com
munication between the Live Stock exchange
and Omaha was shut off, but repairs were
quickly made to the important lines and
business was not delayed a great deal. Sew
eral converters belonging to the electric
light works were burned out, and caused
some delay in getting the lights burning
last night. Lightning struck the horse
and mule barn at the stock yards and
burned out an electric light converter, but
did not do any other damage. The Bohe-
milan Catholic church was slightly damaged
by the bolt that killed Mrs. Sekyra, but
the expense of the repairs will not amount
to much. Four horses in a pen at the stock
yards were knocked down by one of the
flashes, but soon scrambled to their feet and
appeared to be all right. w. b. Vansant
had his hand on one of the iron hooks to a
gate at the yards and was in the act of
lifting the hook when there came a binding
flash and he received a shock sufficient to
make his hand and arm feel numb for sew
eral hours. One of the commission men
was riding along an alley holding the wet
bride reins when a flash came and shocked
him so that he could not let go of the reins
for an instant. The Albright motor was
burned out and was laid off while repairs
were being made. The rainsS washed out
some of the places recently filled by the
street gang, and the work viii have to be
done over. No very serious washouts were,
however, reported. While the telephones
at the exchange were burning out the instru-
ments cracked like pistols, and it sounded

Accident Insurance Made
Defendant in u Suit for Damages.
Michael Goodwin met with an accident last
October and was disabled for eighteen weeks
and he wants an accident insurance COM
pany to pay him for that time at the rate
of thirty big pieces of silver a week.
In a suit filed in the district court yes

dent association in September, 1895, and a
few weeks afterward met with an accident
which laid him out until the GLOWING Feb
ruary. The company, he alleges, agreed
to pay him an indemnity of $50 a week, and
has refused and failed to comply with the
contract. He asks judgment in the sum of

Frank Jacques, the citizen tailor Of the

ing after a good night sleep and was talk
ing as hard as he could yesterday, saying
he was afraid to stop for fear he could not
get started again. He is all right now with
the exception of being a little weak. He is
out of the hospital.
The boys like the quarters very well, as
they have everything arranged conveniently,
but they dislike being situated in such a
manner that it is very hard to get to the
| city. This Is not their only trouble, as there
is no telegraph or telephone line to the place
and their mail facilities are very poor also
and should be looked after more as they can
only get mail once a day at $50 in the even
ing and unless they make an especial trip
to Bellevue they can only get their mail
sent out once each day. 1t is sincerely hoped
by every member of the garrison and Fort
Crook city that they may soon have not only
a telegraph and street car line, but a good
steam laundry.

Killed by lightning.

Leroy Dalton, the 1S-year-old son of John
l. Dalton, was struck by lightning yesterday
and instantly killed.
The young man lived with his parents at
1910 Tostevin street. He was working in a
bayfield, below the Milwaukee tracks when
the rain commenced. He started for his
home carrying two pitchforks over his

reached the railway tracks when the light
ming struck the forks and passed through

his face. The lightning had torn his cloth
ing almost entirely from his body. One
shoe was torn off, and the other was badly

Pnyement Jnst Rendy to DrOp.

1t is fortunate that the condition of the
fill at Twentieth and N streets was discov-
cred before an accident happened. The
heavy rains of the past few days have caused
a great deal of dirt to wash out and now
about one-fourth of the pavement at the
intersection has cracked and will fall. The
rain yesterday prevented work on the re-
pairs, but as soon as possible the pavement
will be taken up and the washout filled and
the dirt tamped down good. When the new
pipes to connect the four catch basins with
the manhole are laid heavy planks will be
placed so that the pipe will not break at the
joints even II the earth does wash out from
under again. The extra work made neces-
sary by the changes will delay the finishing
OF the job about a week. When completed
the work will have cost 81. 500, but will be
first class in every particular.

Quoting examinations for the teacher of

Law Offers No Consolation.

Landlord Dewey Of the Revere house was
endeavoring to procure the arrest yesterday
of a delinquent boarder, who owed him for
two weeks board, and something more in
the way of an accommodation. The man
whom he wanted punished registered on
July 81 as e. S. Jones, Indianapolis. He rep
resented himself to be the agent of the Old
Wayne Life Insurance company, and told a
story that induced the hotel man to extend
him credit for a few days. In the mean
time Dewey took out a policy with the COM
pany which Jones represented, with the I'M
derstanding that the premium of SO was to
be returned to him when the board bill was
settled. Jones left the hotel a few days
ago without settling his bill or returning
the premium money. On the same day
Dewey received notification from the com
pany that his application for insurance had
been rejected. Dewey endeavored to pro-
cure a warrant for the arrest of Jones, but
learned that the Iowa statute expressly pro-
vided that no criminal action would lie in
cases where the hotel man agreed to extend
credit.
