SHOOTING IN THE DARK.
TMuscatine journal

Ugly rumors are afioat in regard to
bacchanalian revelry at night in a GER
tain room at one of the principal hotels
in Des Moines during the late repub-
lican state convention. The rumors in
volve men of good standing at home.
If their names were published. and If
the rumors were established as true. at
least one popular idol would be shat
tered. What a pity" said grave
senator, referring to this affair, in con-
versation with the editor of the Journal,
that some men do not know how to
behave themselves when they go away
from home" 1t would be well for the
constituents of these men to inquire in
to their conduct and hereafter keep
them at home. We have only to add
that this has no reference to any Mus
carine delegate.

WILL REPEAT IT'S FOLLY.


The democratic party is going to re-
peat its folly OF 1864, is going to bring
forth its loudest tmbrel to proclaim the
war In the Philippines "a failure and
demand the return of the troops under
Otis, and the hauling down Of the flag
that Dewey planted. OF course their
chief reason for SO proclaiming is the
fact that republican administration is
in power, and thus they will march to
defeat and disgrace just as they did
when they demanded that Grant should
surrender to Lee. Democracy can al
ways be depended upon to make a fool
OF itself at the very moment when 1t
should be trying to demonstrate some
thing of the spirit of patriotism.

The Waterloo Reporter endorses the
action of the democrats of BlackhawA
county purposing that constitutions
amendment in favor Of woman suffrage
be submitted to the people. This is al
right so far as 1t goes, but the expert
ence of South Dakota with the Initiative

and that is that the constitution should
further provide that 1t shall not bt
amended except by vote Of the majorit,

NELL AND TRACEY
ROUNDING INTO FORM
BOTH MEN ARE TRAINING HARD
FOR THEIR BATTLE.
Lively Interest Being Manifested in
the "Goes" to Be Pulled Off by
the Western Club.

On Saturday morning the advance sale
of reserved seats for the boxing show to
be held under the auspices of the West
ern Boxing Club on Tuesday evening next
will be opened at 730 Market street. and
judging by the interest shown by lovers
of the fistic game, there will be a big de-
mand for coupons of admission Numer-
Gus requests have been made by Manager
Long of the popular club to dispose of
choice sections near the ringside, but the
latter has decided to wait and give every
one an equal chance.
The interest of the sporting public is
due to the good reports received daily
from the training quarters of Tracey and
Neill and the other fighters. The men
who are to appear in ''the event of the
evening" are already in excellent shape
and when they enter the arena on Tues
day night should be in condition to make
hard battle. Tracey's long experience
has taught him not to weigh the chances
of his opponent too cheaply Knowing
Neill to be aggressive, a hard hitter and
in preparing himself for the battle. He
remembers that Mcconnell made a fine
showing against himself and he saw how
cleverly Neill handled the product of the
San Francisco Athletic Club
Hundreds of fight followers are conf
dent that Neill will take the Australians s
measure: They base their judgment on
his youth and on the fine showing he has
heretofore made, and intend backing him
heavily. Neill is an aspiring fighter, and
knowing as he does that a victory over
Tracey will at one leap bring him in the
front rank of the welter-weghts. he will
make every effort to win. on Saturday
evening the managers of both men will
meet and choose referee The club will
furnish a referee for the other bouts.
The interest in the fight between LaWler
and Denny is second to that taken In the
big CO. LAWYERS aggressiveness and clev-
erness have won him host of admirers.
and they will back him heavily to beat
Denny. The Australian has won fame
on his native heath, and does not intend
returning. as did Tweedie, with a black
mark on his record. He is hard puncher.
and those who have seen him perform
know that he is up to all the tricks of the
game.
Otis and Johnson should put up an ex-
cellent preliminary. Both boys are fast
and clever and are the leaders in their
class Otis showed in his last fight that
he can administer stiff punches Johnson's s
easy victory over Jean Mulligan has at
tracted a large following to his standard
and he will probably be made favorite
Manager Long has matched his men with
rare judgment, and as a result the bet
ting public Is assiduously studying the

winners of the different events

TWO ATTEMPTS
TO BURN DOWN
GROCERY STORE
Both Happen Within
a Week.

WORK OF AN INCENDIARY
FIRE MARSHAL TOWE MAKES A
THOROUGH INVESTIGATION.

Two suspicious fires within a week at
Charles Dohnkens grocery, 494 Green
wich street, have been investigated by
Fire Marshal Towe, and although he has
not secured sufficient evidence to cause
an arrest he is morally certain that the
fires were of incendiary origin.
Tuesday, April IL, about $50 o'clock in
the moring, fire was noticed in a vacant
room in the rear of the grocery and the
flames were eXinguished by the nighbors
before much damage was done. The Fire
Marshal made an investigation and came
to the conclusion that boys or tramps had
caused the fire.
Tuesday night shortly before midnight
fire was again discovered at the grocery
on the outside wall on Telegraph place,
the building being on the corner. Dohnken
sleeps in a room in the rear and the young
man who discovered the fire awoke him
and together they put out the flames. The
Weatherboards where the fire was started
were burned, and it was found that sacks
saturated with coal oil had been placed
against the weatherboards and set on fire.
Inside the store on the opposite side of the
weatherboards was a twenty -tive-g gallon
coal oil tank, which contained quantity
of oil. If the flames had reached it the
place would have been destroyed.
When the second fire was reported to the
Fire Marshal yesterday morning he de-
cided that something was wrong, and on
making an investigation he found that
coal oil had been used to start the fire
and pieces of sacks saturated with the oil
were still there A heavy trail of oil
leading from the tank through the front
door of the store to where the fire was
started was plainly discernible.
August Weimann and family live in the
fiat above the store, and Weimann told
the Fire Marshal that he was awakened
by the noise. He went downstairs, and
when he saw the sacks saturated with
coal oil he accused Dohnken of trying to
burn him and his family alive. There is
trap door leading from the rear of the
store to the second story, which was all
ways nailed down to prevent any one
from getting into the grocery that way,
but it had been pried open and would have
afforded an avenue OF escape to the in
cendiary.
Dohnken is a young man and had been in
the grocery for five months, but the Fire
Marshal learned that he was not doing
any business and had been trying to sell
out. The stock was insured for 5000, and
the Fire Marshal is satisfied that it does
not amount to more than $58. Dohnken
said he was undressed when he went to
help put out the fire, but Weimann CON
tradicts him and says he was fully
dressed. The Fire Marshal warned Dohn-
ken that he would be under surveillance
in future and to be careful that no fur
ther fires were started in his place.

GAMBLERS FIGHT HARD
TO OVERRIDE THE LAW
FURTHER HEARING OF THE
RACETRACK CASE.
Proceedings Dragging Along in Con-
sequence of the Tactics of the
Attorney for the De-
fense.

The admission in evidence of the ordi-
nance passed by the Supervisors last
March was the net result of yesterday S
proceedings in the suit in equity of the
Pacific Coast Jockey Club versus Chief of
Police Lees and his subordinates to pro-
hibit them from enforcing the law and
prohibit gambling at the raeetrack. At
torney Ach. for the gamblers, objected to
everything in sight. John A. Hosmer.
who is conducting the case on behalf of
the department, grew weary; Judge Muir
asky was overcome with ennui, and so
was everybody else in the courtroom;
but Ach kept on plugging in his objec-
tions up to the time of adjournment
During the morning Secretary Green
was recalled and testified to the loss sus-
tained by the club owing to the suppress
sion of gambling.
One of the points raised by Ach in the
case is that the police acted without au-
thority, as the ordinance was not the law
in fact. In the afternoon Hosmer sum
moned John A. Russell. clerk of the
Board of Supervisors, and more than an
hour was consumed in getting the simple

objected TO, everything. He objected to
the order itself, the method of its passage,
the signatures attached to it,, the. manner
In which 1t is kept in the clerks office,
the means of publication, and only him
self knows what else. If there had been

through the board as there was in getting
it before the court. the touts and gamblers
would still be holding high carnival at
Inglesde.
When finally Clerk Russell was per-
mitted to escape. Chief Lees was called
to the stand, and told, amid the usual
storm of objections, of the occurrences
at Ingleside on March IA, when the first
raid was made. The Chief finally lost
patience at Ach's endless Interruptions
and ignoring him and his objections alto
gether, described the entry of the police
cation of the latter the jeers of the touts.
