THEY PAINTED THE TOWN.
Mayor HoIIeman Looks After tho Pay for tho
Paint-Prico Firm and High.

Last Sunday evening there wore shot
timos' in tho old town for about thirty
minutes. Mayor Holloman received
word that there was full-grown row in
progress at house within the corporate
limits, and Immediately ho and Deputy
Sheriff B. r. Moss and Marshals Beck
and Garrison put out for tho scene of
battle. They met part of tho combat
ants coming down College street, and
company objected, however, and didn't
hesitate to say so. The CLEAN of pis-
tol barrel was sufficient to warn the Off
ccrs that they must act-and thcy did.
The butt end of shotgun laid gcntly
(moro or lcss) against tho head of ono
sturdy warrior cooled his ardor for tho
tmc being, and soon tho whole "push"
was pushing its way to the county Jail.
In less than an hour nine adults and two
bars. There was a beautiful layout in
the way of weapons taken from the pris-
onors-knivcs, pistols, knucks and a
razor. Eighty-horse pop-skull whiskcy
was at the bottom of tho row, Of course.
Monday morning Mayor Uollcman was
laying for thcm. Whom the prisoners
entered tho Judgment hall" and the
Mayor called tho roll there was sparkle
in his eyes that meant business. Before
amounting i'll the aggregate to $4,000.
Forty dollars in fines wore paid in Uncle
Sans Philippine currency, and one
".gcnt" announced his decision to quit
tho push" and join tho gang for
fifty days. Two who were fined So or 5
days each arc at work on the streets
repairing bridges and cleaning out
bitches. fcw moro displays of such
rowdyism as was shown Sunday will
convince the culprits that when they
come before Mayor Hollcman "thcy are
up against the real thing" The timo
for painting the town" without paying
for the paint has passed.

WHAT GROG,AN SAW IN AFRICA.
a Remarkable story From an Al
legged European Traveller.

London Feb. 27.-Some of the morning
papers publish a remarkable interview
with E. S. Grogan, who has just returned
to England after a two years journey in
Africa.
Mr. Grogan. who travelled over $50
miles and represents himself to be the
first European who has Travelled through
the continent from the Cape to Cairo, says
that after leaving Lake Tanganyika with
eight porters. he entered a region of ac-
tive volcanes. where he encountered
enormous lava streams, forming a verit-
able sea. forty miles by sixty. and a
hundred feet Deep
This whole region he found devastated
forests and herds of elephants being bur
led in LIQUID fire.
The neighboring country, he says, is oc-
cupied by some 5000 Balekas, ferocious
cannibals from the Congo who live by
man hunting. His guides told him that
the country, covering $500 square miles,
had been until recently densely populated,
but that the people had virtually been
killed and eaten by the Balekas.
Everywhere he found evidences of can
nibalsm The very paths in the jungle
were marked out by lines of human skeie-.
tons. The streams were full of deco.n-
posing remnants of humanity, half-ea ten
and horribly mutilated.
These cannibals. according to Mr.. Gro
gan, lived in grass cabins He er tered
some of these habitations and witnessed
horrible sights He saw "cauldro'as full
of liquid, with floating human skulls and
the bodies of infants
On one occasion the savages attacked
Mr.. Crogans party, but he opened on
them with rife fire. This stagT, erred the
cannitals as they had never b fore seen
a gun or white man. Mr.. Crogan shot
two and the rest retreated.
He says the Balekas are not repulsive
to look upon Although they are small,
they are well built and have good fea-
lures. Men and women go about stark
naked and their long hair gives them
peculiarly wild appearance.
Proceeding along the west coast of AL
bert lake. Mr.. Grogan found the natives
terrorized by raids of ple Belgians. He
declares that he thoroughly investigated
this matter and found that the Belgian
troops were in the habit of crossing the
frontier. had shot large number of the
inhabitants, and had carried off the young
women and cattle. Tying up and burning
the old women, while white Belgian Of
ficers were present..

Bryan and to join in the celebration of
Mardi Gras. In the morning breakfast
was rendered the Nebraskan by Hon. w
II. Carroll and reception was held at the
Peabody Hotel in the afternoon.
Tonight Mr.. Bryan delivered an ad-
dress at the Auditorium The huge struc-
ture was packed with people, and many
were denied admission. In an interview
Mr.. Bryan was asked what the paramount
issues in the approaching campaign would
be. He said:
We'll, that depends There are three
questions before the public-the money
question, trusts and imperialism. Men
differ as TO the relative value of these
questions, but the Republicans are on the
defensive on all of them. Events will do
much to determine which issue will exer-
else the most influence. For instance the
currency bill which is now in conference
has emphasized the money question be-
cause ii attempts to carry the gold stand
ard a little farther and to turn paper
money over to national banks. Every new
trust tends to emphasize the trust ques-
ton The Boer war and the Porto Rican
tariff bin are emphasizing the question of
Imperialism But as l said, the Repub-
lican party is on the defensive on all of
them and the fight will be made all along
the line. All three of the questions are
alive"
els not the free silver sentiment dying
out?' asked the reporter.
mo, it is not dying out" replied Mr..
Bryan, land the editors who continue to
say that it is know better. The action of
the Republican party in amending the
currency bill as last resort, so as TO re-
vive the promise of international blmet-
allism, is a confession that the gold stand
ard is not satisfactory and no Republican
editor can explain that amendment ex-
cept by acknowledging that it is an at
tempt to thrust fraud on the American
people"
