Officer Hubbard had corroborated Cole
man in saying he (Shields) had resented
Coleman's suggestion to Larney to hire
a messenger boy for 35 cents. Mr.. Glib
bon was particularly severe on captain
Roberts. who had testified that he had
believed fully in Larney's innocence, and
yet permitted another officer to take y
from him for nothing. Take 1t up aho

police officer resented a poor mans op-
portunity to get assistance for 80 cents
is also an outrage"
Mr.. Wyman said: 1T seems to me
that it is about time that the ponce OF
this city be prevented from taking bribes
from citizens. This is the second time
in three weeks, and it must be stopped.
Mr.. Gibbons motion was changed to
read that Chief Glass be instructed not
to give Shields any further employment
on the force. Before the motion was put

fault and asked for leniency. He admit

necessary for special officer to do.
The vote on the motion to dismiss was
in the affirmative.

be instructed to reprimand Captain
Roberts for his part in the transaction.
The motion was seconded by Mr.. Preuss.
Mr.. Mclean moved to amend by exon

THE CAPTAINS STATEMENT
Following Shields, Captain Roberts
gave his account of the affair, as fol-
lows:
ION the evening in question I was
present at the office with my wife and
child; was about leaving with them
when Officer Pawling came in with Lar
ney, who told me his story. I was i'm
pressed with his tale and was in guam
dairy to know what to do. I instructed
the clerk to telephone to ask if it was
true that Mr.. Chambers had examin ID
into the matter, but the clerk could no,
get Mr.. Chambers by telephone. I was
not willing TO release him, nor did ]
want to lock him up because he could not
furnish bonds. finally referred him tc
Mr.. Shields, who took him to Cham
bers for the sum mentioned. felt that
if l put him in Jail would be doing him
an injustice, and also felt that If ]
released him on his own recognizance
I might be doing a wrong. 1t was di-
lemma. and I knew not what to do
precisely"
Mr. Gibbon endeavored to have Cap
tain Roberts establish the difference
between a special officer on duty an6
his official right when off duty to col
lect $2 or any other sum, from a citi-
zen, for performing duty the city was
not paying him for.
Officer Cicotte, who was desl
clerk when the affair occurred, told O.
the occurrences in relation to Larney',
case, and that Mr.. Chambers informed
him that the warrant for Harney O!
Larney should be Cancelled. 1t Nigh
have been there, but he was very busy
and probably overlooked such a war
rant. "If that warrant had come il
after the telephone message from Mr.
Chambers I should have Cancelled it an,
notified the force of the cancellation.
MORE EXPLANATIONS
Chief Glass said that the police off
cials did not keep track of all the war
rants that came in, but depended on tn
district attorneys Office for cancella
tions, when such occur.
officer Cicotte said he could not fin,
the warrant when Mr.. Chambers phone,
to him, or he would have marked it can
celed He did not know what police
man had it; Larney was after the police
man who had warrant. officer Paw
Ling, and that official was hunting Lar
ney, but neither knew that Chamber
had ordered the warrant cancelled.

the entire structure was doomed, but the
fire lines operated by the employees ofthe

PACIFIC JUNCTION BURNED.
Omaha, Neb.-Shortly before 2 O'Clock
this morning, Pacific junction, four miles
east of the river on the Iowa side, was
visited by a fire and the whole business
portion of the town wiped out. Pacific
junction is a small railroad town of be-
tween 600 and 800 inhabitants located at
the junction of the main Burlington line
running up the east side of the river and
the western line. Twenty-three buildings
we're consumed. The small fire depart
ment was handicapped by severe cold and
was almost powerless to do anything.
Bucket brigades we're formed and people
turned ont en- masse. Word was sent to
Plattesmouth to send up fire apparatus,
but as the department of that city was
engaged at home, the request could not
be com piled with. Among the buildings
consumed were.the Pacific hotel and Odd
Fellows hall. Total loss, 100000.

I1aunted!

The human tenement is often haunted
to the grievous discomfort of it's posses
sor--by those malignant spirits, constipa-
ton and biliousness. But the abominable
pair may be speedily driven out with the
potent help of Hostetter's Stomach Bit
ters. This genial Alternative, while it re-
lieves the bowels and regulates the liver,
never, as drastic purgative does, pro-
duces violent effects and weakens the in.
testines. On the contrary, the action of
the Bitters is precisely analogous to all
effort of nature seeking to resume her
proper functions. THIS furnishes pretty
conclusive evidence that it is better to use
persuasive means, 80 to speak, than to
endeavor to coerce nature to return TO
duty. Violent remedies produce only
temporary effect, followed by hurtful
reaction. For indigestion, malarial and
kidney complaints, rheumatism and nerv-

MILDER WEATHER PREDICTED
A Slight Change of Temperature Re-
ported from Many Sections Of
the Country.
TIE POOR STILL In GREAT DISTRESS
Police Stations and Hospitals of Chi
cago Turned Into Emergency Habi-
tations for the Destitute.

Pittsburg, Pa, Jan. 25.-Last night the
mercury in the signal service Thermometer
dropped to degrees below zero, but
more exposed thermometers registered
10 degrees lower. The cold has caused
great suffering among the poor. One
Mary Morris, colored, was overcome on
the street and died in few minutes.
GETTING WARMER.
Chicago.-At o'clock this morning
the government thermometer showed the
temperature to be Is degrees below zero,
degrees warmer than at the same time
yesterday, but degree colder than at 2
O'Clock q. m. The signal service to-day
reports the cold wave as extending all
over the west and northwest, with no
prospect of change for at least twenty
| four hours. All trains we're delayed to-
day by snow drifts and inability to make
steam. The proclamation issued by
Mayor Swift has met with hearty re-
sponse. Besides over $4,000 in cash
hundreds of tons of coal and almost un
limited supplies and provisions have
been sent in, and properly distributed.
Seven hundred more desperate cases of
destitution have already been relieved,
and the work is being carried on without
cessation.
INDICATIONS OF CHANGE.
Washington.--The weather bureau ad
vices show 20 to 30 degrees below zero
in the northwest, and also that freezing
weather extends to the gulf in the middle
and Atlantic states. The indications are
that the sun will aid to-day aud tomor-
row in mitigating the effects of the cold
blast from the west. A high barometer.
out west is thought however to indicate
another drop in the temperature later in
the week.
HOUSING THE DESTITUTE.
Chicago.-Fully 10000 people were
given shelter last night at the different
police stations and at the Salvation Army
barracks. The new Isolation hospital
was opened to-day, the council having ap.
propriated $4,000 for this purpose and it
will be used for cases of contagious dis
ease among the poor. Eight hundred
new cases of families requiring imme-
diate aid were reported to the police yes
terday. At IL O'clock the government
thermometer registered liz degrees be-
low zero.
RESULTS OF SEVERE COLD.
Chicsgo.-An unknown man was found
frozen to death just outside of Finley
park, on the Rock Island road. Several
cases of severe freezing from the same
section are also reported. The numer-
Gus fires kept the fremen busy all day
and nearly every man in the department
WAS nearly exhausted by constant battle
with flames in killing weather.
