McGuire, alias **Tinker Bill,” got full before the appointed time, and was taken in again in the afternoon. —— For best qz\(l‘nli y coal and wood, call on Gleason, 26 Pearl street. oSk An Eccentric Agitator. John Ahles, who is not happy unless stirring up some commotion, attracted a large crowd yesterday at the corner of Main and Broadway. After addressing them in aloud voice long enough to gather a desired nuwmber of citizens, he asked them all to go with him and see the alley just north of Broadway. He lead the way and muny followed. He pointed out the disgraceful condition of tho alley, which is supposed to be paved, but which, like other paved portions of the city, receives little cleaning and much dirt. Although this alley runs right by the city building, it is in such a filthy condition as to be impassible, Ahles scored the city officials in his usual enthusiastic and rather reckless manner and then seemed to be satisfied with his peculiar agitation of the ques- tion of street cleaning. el L Guns of all kinds ut Odell & Bryant’s, 604 S.

Matters of great importance will come up for considera- tion and it is earnestly desired that every member will be present. The future course of the organization in the matter of certain improvements, build- ing enterprises, etc., will be sett upon. Propositions from the Pacitic hotel syndicate will be received and disposed of in some way. Those who desite to unite with the organization at some time shauld not defer but join at once.

It is through this medium that the many things, now in prospect, for the upbuilding of the city are to be realized, and as there 1s & wonderful potency in numbers and the represented capital you should see to it that your name, money and influence is with the board of trade, THE OMAHA DAILY BEE: TUESDAY, JANUARY' 31 1888, tion and.one foracquittal.

B, Fallon, of Glenwood, on the night of the 7th of November. 1886, At that time he was engaged as a horse dealer in Omaha, He acknowledges that he had the horses in his possession on the afternoon of the 8th, claiming to have purchased them at Papillion, A short time before this, four other horses were stolen in Mills county, and Witmer says he also had them in his possession. The greater part of the day was taken up with the examination of witnesses for the state. It is rather doubtful whether the case will be finished to-day or not. The proceedings were interrupted long enough to grant Emma K. Long a dec of divorce from her husband Benjamin F. Long, on the ground of habitual drunkenness. THE NEWS IN THE BLUFFS.

I hope to have it in running order some time inMay, but I can’t tell much about it, for I don’t know how fast those fel- lows work down there.” **How extensively do_you intend to branch out down there?" “‘Oh, it will beon a larger scale than 1did here. 1expect to be able to turn out_sixty barrels per day, while here could only turn out fifty barvels, when running at full capacity, which I did not do. It looks as though 1 will have all Ican do there, for there are but three other brew in the state.” **Do you intend to dispose of all of your property in this city?" “No, 1 want to sell my residence property, but I intend to keep the other. T will be here to look after it, for my son will have charge of the busi- ness there. I don't expect to be there much of the time, but will continue to muake my home in Council Bluffs The gentleman did not give his ons for holding his brewery property this city. It may be that he has hopes of the present prohibition law being re- pealed, or he may be satisfied with the property as abusiness investment. The present outlook fully justifies such an opinion as the latt prevail in the ranks of the men of the star. There has never been entire harmony, within the recollection of the oldest, and hence the efficiency has never reached its highest point. It scems that the present outbreak is not more serious than some previous ones, and yet it seems serious enough to demand more attention than has been heretofore given such a state of affairs. Mayor Rohrer has only been in office for a few d He has hardly had the necessary to inform himself on the various departments. In addition to this embarrassment he is chosen simply to fill the unexpired term of Mayor Groneweg, and while many believe that in the spring he will be elected for a full term of two years, yet that is more or less of an uncertainty. He has, so far us can be lea d, never intimated that he would be willing to serve longer if elected. It is a trying place for him. He has hardly got used to being called “mayor” when this complication in police affairs is called to his attention, and he will hardly have made the necessary changes before he may step out and some new man take up the reins. It seems not unlikely, therefore, that he will allow matters to go on as they are, unless there should be some new phase put on the situation. The police orce has been in just about this condi- tion for months, and can probably hold together and do fair se for a few months longer. With the incoming of a new mayor, or with the firmly seating of Mayor Rohrer for two years, changes will doubtless made which will do away with much of the present jeal- ousy and back-biting. 1t is understood that the police com- mittee will take noaction at present. With this policy to be followed out, it is predicted that the police force will continue telling the truth about thei chief and about cach other. The facts |- thus being reached by hearing both sides of the controversy may serve a good purpose in the reorganization of the police force.

He suid that the chief wasthe man who held the authority, and that his order: were to be obeyed. The captain mere had charge of the night force,or during the absence of the chief.

It seems that about the only way out of political difficulty is to lot the quarrel alone until after the convention, or to let both the officers step outside the police ring, and th fight it out.

The disgruntled ones are still far from being satisfied, and say that the final action has not yet been tuken. Their grand kick hasnot re- sulted as favorably as they hoped, and it is beginning to dawn upon their minds that the mayor has an awful big will of his own for a little man, and that he is not owned by the police force or any of its members. The pol committee, composed of Aldermen Metcalf, Keller and Danforth have not yet taken any action in regard to the matter. R All kinds of groceries at Fearson’s. Relief For Miss Shattuck.
