2 I'HE LINGOLY'S POLICE FORCE Mayor Weir Unbosoms Himsalf Corosrning the Prescnt Muddle HE DESIGNS A COMPLETE REFORMATION His Object Is to Get an Exclse Board That Will Agres with Him and Then Give the Policemen & Shak- ing Up, Lixcory, Neb, Oct. 80.—[Special to Tne Bee. |—Mayor Weir was seon by « ropresen- tative of Tire Bee today in referance to the status of tho polico muddlo and he expressed himself quite freoly in rogard to the mauter. Ho stated without hesitation that his desire ‘was to bring about a complete reorganization of the police force, Iu order toaccomplish this it will be absolutely necessary for a ma- Jority of the members of the excise board to be with him, Tho board as it is at present oonstituted controls tho police forco in oppo sition to the well known desires and policy of tho magor. Tho long continued absenco of Mr. Doolittlo from the city has convinced Mayor Weir that he has lost his residenco in the city. Hence his appoiutment ot Mr. Stall, It bas been frequently stated that Mr. Doolittle, having heard of the latest move of tho mayor, had tolegraphed that he would start from Chicago to Lincoln at once aud commenco legal proceedings to prevent his removal from tho excise board. Up to last night, however, Mr. Doolittle had not put in appearanco and Mayor Weir statod that he did not believo that that goutleman would make auy serious oposition o the reorgani- ation of the cxcise board. In the event of the reorganization of the police forco O. P. Dinges will, undoubtedly, be made chiof of the force, unloss ho is logally disqualified by reason of his accept- ancoof & place on the Board of Public Works. The mayor paid high compliment to the zeal und fidelity of Mr. Dinges in car- rying out the policy inaugurated when the present administration entored upon the Qischaree of its duties. He also denied em- phatically tho insinuations made by a local paper of domocratio proclivities to the effect that Mr. Doolittle’s removal was the result of an agre ont between the mavor and the political managors of Allen W. Field, the ropublican candidate for congress. Progress of the Rock island, The hundreds of workmen 1n tho Antelope valley arn making rapid progress in the con- struction of the Rock Island. In addition to the two main tracks that are already laid up 10 O street, the McMurtey tract 1s covered with a uetwork of ten tracks. The main switchiog vards of the company will be located 1n this tract and from the number of tracks beine laid it is evident that the Rock Island anticipates a large business at tals point. — Tho new passonger depot at ‘Twentieth and O streets is assuming definite shape and the walls of tho superstructure are already soveral feet above the foundation wails.” The contractor hopes to have the depot ready for the roof before the close of another weck. “This afternoon about twenty tracklayers appeared on the sceno of the Rock Isiand 1mprovements uand commenced the work of laying the track across the line of the Home Strect Railway company on N street, be- iween Twentiotn and Twenty-first streets. At4 o'clock the frogs had bsen placed in osition and cars loaded with iron and ties eun across. Ou October 10 the Home Streot Raitway companv applied for and obtained a temporary injunction restraining the Rock Island from crossing its tracks, but the action of the latter company this afternoon seems to show that the matter has been micably adjusted or else that the 1junction 18 1o bo disregarded. Arrestod for Horso Stealing. A man named I'red Stensel was brought to Lincoln this forenoon and placed behind the bars at tho polico station, charged with ealing a mule from Martin McManomar, a rmer living twenty-one miles northwest of “ho city, McManomar was driving 1tto tho Jity yesterday and a short aistance out was accosted by Stensel, who asked hun for a ride. Tho farmer was sccommodating and the twostruck up a lively acquaintance, Stensel provailed on the farmer to buy him 8 ticket to Omaha, out after the old man had made 8 numver of purchases he concluded that he didn't cars to iuvest in railroad tickets atscalper’s rates for the benefit of 8 stranger. Later when he went to look for his mules and wagon they wero wissing. Inquiry revealed the fact that Stensel had been seen driving the animals out of the city on his way east. McMano- Imar startea in pursuit, but night coming on he put up at a furm house. He had been in bed but a short time when Stensel came along with a broken wagon. He was granted permission to stay all night, und this morn- ing was cousiderably startled to find himself fura to face with the man ho was trying to get away from. After he bad been lodged behind the bars he explainea that when Mec- Manomar rofused to buy him o ticket to Omaha he concluded to tako the old man’s mules and drive to the metropolis nimself, Badly Injured m a Row. Maggie £liis, a buxom fomale of some Jtwenty seasons, was arrestod and placed be- <> hind the bars at the polico station this after- noon charged with fguting, Maggio is an inmate of the notorious Woir dive and last night became involved in u quarrel with tho proprietress over the nroceeds of tho sule of & quantity of Budweiser's extra dry. The quarrel was resumed this afternoon’ and in tho fracas that ensuea Maggio had her hand 1aid open to the bone with a hatchet. That's hor story, but 1t is claimed by others that sho indulged 1n a hizh old lonesomo drunk this afternoon and that her band was cut while smashing a mirzor. Preparing for a Great Time, Tho independent party Icadors are pre- paring for a greut rally on uext Wednesduy, upon which occasion General Weaver and Mary Loaso will speak in this city. Special trains aro to bo run into Lincolu on all tue roads leadivg to the city, Thero will be a parado in tho afternoon, and the managers in this city confidently claim that it will be the Largest political demonstration ever held in the state, The full program of the dhy's events has not vot beon aunounced, but will bo ready for publication in a day or so. Lost in the Alusworth Bank, It transpives that the grand lodge of the Nobraska Knights of Pythias is the loser to tho extent of several thousand dollars by reason of the failure of the bank of Ains- worth two weeks ago. The cashier of the bank, Mr Charles G. Alton, was the grand treasurer of tho knights aud he had on do- Dosit in tho now defunct bank about $3,000, His bondsmen were also practically ruined by the fallure of the Omaha barb wire con- cern, 80 it Is hardly probable that the grand lodge will be ablo to recover anything. Mr, Alton is » prominent and popular member of the order of this stato and none of his feliow knights censure him for the loss of the funds, Was Celebratod at Gexsva, Neb, Oct. 80.—|Special to Tus Bk, |—The Ancient Order of United Work- men lodges of this couuty celebrated the twenty-fourth anniversary of the order at this piace yosterday.

It is many centuries sines the Roman church, finding it impossible, from the great wnd constantly increasing multitude of the saints, to set spart a separate day for each ouc, decreed that November | should hence- forward be kep: us a day i lonor of all tho saints, and that it should be known as All- Hallowmus or Ali-Saints’ day, and that the night of October 81, immediately preceding it, should thereafter ba ket as a vigi and o knowa as All-Hallowe'en, theso occasions being still obsorved in the Catholie, Ipis- copal and Lutheran churches, I'com its fivst orzanization Hallowe'en has beon 1uvested with & peculinrly mystic char- acter. It 1s an almost universal superstition that supefuatural influcnces then bave un- usual power, that devils, witches and fairies are abroad. that all spirits are froo to roam through spaco and that the sviritual elements 1 ull living humanity can be detached from corporeal restraint and made to read its own future or to reveal 1o others what fate may have in store for them. As there is nothing 12 the ohurch celebration of the ensuing day of All-Saints’ to justify theso sinzular ideas and customs assoclated with Hallowe'en, and ‘as nono of them aro of a religious character, wo muy justly regard them as velics of pagan times, One of Its Many Uses. 1n - ' ages and countries Hallowe'en has been deemed, as it still is, the occasion par excellence for divining the answer to that motnentous question which absorbs so largo ashare of the thoughts of romuntic young men and maidens, **Who 18 to marry wbom ¢ Tho means employed to gain this much de- sired iuformation are as quaint and curions as they are numerous and varied, For this DUTpOse every Lmo and every country almost every district of every country—has bad 1ts own charms and spells peculiar to itseif and they have furnistod an almost in- exh ble theme to folk-poets and compil- ers of folk-lore, Those of Scotland hava been most graph- ically described by that greatest of all pocts of the people, Rovert Burns. In his poem of “Hallowe’en™ he has given us amost yivid account of more than haifa score of Hallow- e’en charms and spells peculiar to the Scot- tish peasantry. > In a very old book of folk-lore called “Yo True Arte to Reade Yo ["uture” is found the followine: If amald would know ye name of yo man she is to marry lot heron Ali-Hallowc'en stoal out toalime kiln wad throw therein a clue of biue yarn, stil! holding to ye otherend, Presently ve end in yo kiln will be sharply pulied: “Then ve mald must suy. “Who holds?™ Whercupon ye;voice of hér futuro husband will pronouncd his nume—both yo Christian and ye surname. The only obstacle to the successful per- formance of this spell is the difticulty of find- ing an old lime kiln, but as lime kilvs will be in great demand among our women when the important statement :nade in the ubove para- graph becomes generally known, and as a de- mand for any article in tnis country is specd. ily met by an abundant supoly thonumoer of limo kilns will doubtiess soon'bo largely aug- mented, to the great delight of anxious match-making mammas and thair dutiful offspring. Some Suggested Spells, Water, nuts and apples bear & prominent part in the spells and charms oi Hallowo'en. A quaint old book of charms publishod in Edinburg in 1670, entitled, “Old Father Time's Bundle of Faggots' Newly Bound Up,” declares that an infallible means of geuting a view of vour future busband or wife is to g0 to bed Hallowe'en with a glass of water, in whicha smail sliver of vood has been placed, standing on a table by your bedside. In tho night you will dream of falling from a briage iuto @ river and of being rescucd by your future wife or hus- band, whom vou will see as distinctly as though viewed with waling eyes. This eharm is thus alluded to by the English poot Jny Last Hallowo'en T lonzed my love to sce, And tried aspell 1o call her up to me. With wood and water standing by my side Ldreamed & dream und saw wy own sweet bride.” In a folk-lore book catled *Yo Mysteries of the Wytchcraft,” there is given a charm by which a maid may know if ve man sho loves be trus.” To perform this tho maia is directed to pluck at midnight on All-Hallow- e'en two monthly roscs with long stems, naming one for herself and the other for nhor lover. She must then go directly to her sleoping room without speakiug to aoy one, and kneeling beside her bed must twine the stems of the two roses together and then repeat the following lines, meanwhile gazing intently upon thoe rose named for hor loye Twine, twine and Intertwine; Let my love be wholly mino. I8 hoart be kind wnd true Decper grow lis rose's hue, If her swain be fuithful the color of the rose represenune him will grow darker und more intense. Of all the many Hallowe'en spells and churms, associated with nuts, one of the oldest is that which prevails in somo of Kngland’s northern counties, and which is to the offect that if & young man or woman will o at midnight Hallowe'en o0 & walnut tree end walk around it three times, crying out each time, “Let him (or her) that 15 to be my true love bring mo some wal- nuts,” the future wife or husband will be seen in thetres eathering its frui.

At the other foreign centres a like tendency is apparent. The notable, not to say ominous, feature at all points is the disposition of the great banks to keep their gold ana got more. This 1ncli- nation may be attributed in part 1o the con- tinuous purchuses of Austro-Hungary, and tothe hoarding of the Russiun government for some inscrutable purpose; but it is no doubt also stimulated by the bosition of the silver question, whica is brought into un- usual prominence by the forthcoming monetary conference at Brussels, “Whoile, in view of the factors abova re- ferred to, it may benccessary to slacken pace somewhat for a time iu stock operations, vet the general situation Is astrong one, T'he business of the country at larze is sound and active and the nation is probably acctnulat- ing solid wealth faster than ever before, tho largeness of our current imports even is evi- dence of thut.

Tonight, before tho Conoy Tsland Athlotio club, the much talked of finish fight botween Joo Choynski of Califoraia and George God- frey, tho Boston colored vrodigy, will take place. While it will doubtless be a great contest, as both men havo unsullied reputa- tions as hard and honest fighters, tno authorities aro wide apart on the morits of the two gladiators Many of them, principally thoso banging in and about Gotham and tho Hub, are of the opinjon that “OlJ Chocolate,” as Godfrev hias been dubbed theso many has & big percentage over the from the " coust in_ science ri generilship, nad must pull off a victory, The fact, 100, thathe will enter the arons possibly ten pounds heavier than Choynski fortiies them in their belief. | is i wame man, and can stand_enough pun 1shment to satisfy the greed of the most in satiato ring goer. With him fighting is purely a business, and he alwavs goes about iLan a business-like way, and up to date has seldom emergzed from a conflict with the smail ond of tho stakos, On the other haund Joo Choynski 18 bis double for gameness and fairness, He is considerably taller than tho Boston man and will nave the advantage of a longer roach, He hits hard and often, but is unsteady on his pius, which often makes bim appear clumsy. Ho bas not been nearly so suceess- ful as Godfrey ana tho jig time in which big Joe Goddurd twice puocked him into obliv- ion leuds many of “Oli Chocolate's” friends to belieye that ko will not bo able to withs stand the severo puuishment the colored man is known to be able to inflict in the eurly stages of a fight. I look for the Cail fornian to win purely on accovat of his youth and strengtt, ava doubly so if tho fightis a prolonged ono, In either event, however, b may not. Godfrey, though a finely preserved specimen of manhood. is fully a dozen years older than Joe, and whon n fighter ~wets well up into the thicties it is high time ho renouncos tho riug. Ho may, however, add Cuovnski’s scalp to the large numbor that aiready adorn his givdle, in which event I shail not be sur prised, as too many rood mon have gono out beforo his ¢eterminet and savige onslaughis A numoer of local authorities, bising their oninions on the closa call Jack Davis of this city gavo Choynski two years ago, will lay thewr money on tho colored man, I T AMUSE 1ENTS voars, man and vidsou-Austen compars, which presented “The Dangors of a Great City™ at tue Boyd a short time ugo, bogan an engave- ment vestorday at the karnam Street theater in “Gmlty Without Crime.” The drama is an adaptation of Miss Braddon’s novel “Aurora Flovd.” The story turns upon the experience of a young woman wio as a silly school girl foves” and marrics n man wto proves 1o bo a gambler and a generally dis reputable charactor, Sho aftorwards hears of his supposed death and marries a lovd, but the gambier tarns up and to squeeze bush money from her 1o keep the secret of the first marriage.
