L e A Beastly trick on Nye, When Bill Nye was in Kansas City lecturing, recently, this little joke was played on him: There is & man in that city who laughs as sonorously and unremittingly as & foghorn, ulthough he mannges to cover a wider range of tones in this operation than that deep- lunged, mornful songstress, This re- markablo individual wasslyly provided with a front; seat at tho lecture. The Cincinati Commercial Gazette, in tell- ing the story, suys; *It took somo time for the subtle wit of Bill Nye to bore itsell into the adumant of his understand- ing, but suddenly the humorist told one of his irrestible stories, and the expect- ed laugh came, The man spread out his legs, fell back in his seat, threw back his head, ard roared out his consterna- tion-spreading Jaugh, High and far ubove all other laughter rose the vol- ume of this laugh. It sank, it rose, it repeated, it redoubled on 1tself. The laughter of the rest of the audience was stilled, but the mun in front showed no sings of wearying orlettingup, A blank dazed look, like that of injured innocence came over the face of Bill Nye, who avers he will get even with his perse- cutors the next time he goes to Kansas City, X —— Thoe late General Spinola was noted, when in congress for bis bluntness with woich be rebuked auy one who incurred his displass ure. 1tis related that at one time, while ha was engaged in controversy with Mr. (irsen- halee, he was interrupted by a new memoar from a western state, of boyish appearance and slender physique, who rose and msked ibe general if be referred tohimin some sar- custic fling, intended, of course, for Green- balge. “(iooutin the backyard, souny, and play with the boys," roared Spinola; *you ourht to kuow better Lthan to wix in & fight with men.” Judge John K.

RESULTS OF A CONFLICT OF AUTHORITY Two Sets of OMcers and Patrolmen Now Dolng Duty—Whereln the Powers Dife fer—Murt in a Runaway —Line ews Items, coln The excise board of the city of Lincoln met this afternoon for the purpose of appolnting members of the city police force fcr the en- suing year. Although there were apparently some differences between Mayor Weir and the other members of the board they wero expressod {n a good natured manner and 1o undue friction was generated. 0. ", Dingos, as chief of police, was released from tne further performance of the duties of that position and Louis Otto, the present deputy sherft and formerly night captain of the Lincoln polica force, appointed in his place. William Splain, at one time night sergeant, was appointed night captain, to succeed Captain Palmer. Fred Miller, an old member of the forcs, was retainea and will for the ensuing year perform the duties of aay scrgeant, W. T. B. Ireland, anew momber on the force, was appointed night sergeant, Tho patrolmen are as follows: John Tupman, Jon Morrissey, John John- son, John Ray, George Harry, George Sipe, George Botts, J. E. Kinoey, Thomas Carna- han, Pat O'Shee, William McBride, O. M. Routzahn, Frank Gradv, Thomas Miller, Henry Bortrand, Michacl Mooney. With the exception of Officer Kinnov all the p trolmen appointed today aro new wembers of tho force. Went Out as Usunl, A* 7 o'clock this evening the old members of the police forve assembied at the station preparatory to going out on their regular beats und” the mayor informed them that, notwithstanding their removal by the excise board, they shouia consider themselves members of tho police force. They wero then given their instructions and sont out ns usual, At S o'clock Louls Otto, the newly ap- pointed chief of police, made his appearance with all the new men appointed this after- noon. He demanded possession of the police station of Chier Dinges, but that ofticer de- clined to recognize him. Otto then ordered the new men to fall in and receive instruc- tions. The roll was catled and Night Cap- tain Splain detailed the men for their respec- tive beats, As they wery preparing to leave tho station in chargo of the new night sergeant Mayor Weir appeared and statod that by virtue of powers zonferred upon him as mayor of the city he would discharze each and every one of the men appointed- this afternoon. Ho then read an officiul discharge for Louis Otto as chief of police and all other men appointed today. Ho warned them that if any of them attempted to perform the duties of policeman they would do so at their peril. When the mayor-had finished Otto gave his instructions "to the new men and sent them out on their beats in detiance of the order of the mayor. Origin of the Trouble, The present troubla is the outgrowth of a long standing difference of opinion between Mayor Weirand the other two members of the exciso board over the power to appoint and remove members of the police force. Last year, during the absence of Mayor Weir, the board removed six members of tho forco, upon tho ground that there were no funds with which to pay them. When Mayor Weir returned ‘he reinstated the six mon removeq during -his absence, and dis- charged six others in their places. The matter was taken 1into the district court, where it was decided in favor of the excise board. Then the case went to the supremo court and some wenks since that body decided that the excise board had the power to remove for cause—lack of funds boing & good and suficient cause for ramovar. Tho supremo court also decided that the mayor cobld remove members of tho police force whenever he deemed it necessary for the purpose ef discioline, or for other causes. Matters have remained in this somewhat un- satisfactory condition for the past fow weeks, until tho issue betwsen the mayor and the oxcise board was squarely joined this evening, A Talk with the Mayor, In an interview tonight with Tue BEE re- porter, Muyor Weir said that he regretted the turn the matter had taken, but so long as he was mayor of the city of Lincoln he pro- posed to do his duty. He would have been isfied to have allowed other members of the board to name half of the police force. Many of the new men appointed this after- noon were men whom ne had previously dis- charged, Ho was roeponsible only to the people of Lincolr.
