MUST MOVE OR CLOSE THEIR DOORS City Attorney Hazleton Pat In the Day Making Measuroments and Has the Job About Completed—Only Twelve More to Measure, City Engineer Etnyre was busy a good part of yesterady making measurements of the distances of ealoons from all adjacent churches or school houses, to ascertain If any of them were barred by the 300-foot limit. He was instructed to do this by the city council some time ago, but he post- poned taking any action until he could recelve a report from the city attorney on the question of how the measurements were to be taken, as there seemed to be doubt as to whether the line should be run from entrance to entrance, along the sidewalk, or in an air line such as a man would be apt to follow if he wanted a drink in a hurry. Yesterday morning City Attorney Hazel- ton reported that the line should be run from the saloon to the nearest point on the church or school, and Etnyre commenced his investigations. During the day he meas- ured about fifty saloons, so that he now has about a dozen to look after. Of the fifty he only found five that were within the prescribed limit. Claus Thompson Is right across the street from the Broadway Methodist church, so that he is about 200 feet too close. The saloon of Hahn & Zim- merlis, near the corner of Broadway and Sixth streets, is 200 feet from the First Baptist church, and the Omaha, Tremont hovse, and Metropolitan hotel are consider- ably too near the German Lutheran church at the corner of Ninth street and Avenue A.

An entertalnment was given by the young men of the 8. Y. B, Friday evening at the residence of E. E. Hart on Willow avenue. The lawn in front and in the rear of the house was gally decorated with Chinese lanterns and presented & beautiful appear- ance. A large number of the young friends, and older ones as well, of the boys dropped n and spent a delightful soclal evening. A pleasing program was rendered in the house, among the performers being Glen Wood of Sedalia, Mo.; Mrs. W, W. Sherman, Mrs. F. H. Evans, Miss Irene Test, Miss Sadle Farns- worth, the mandolin club, and the 8. Y. B. quartet. Misses Schoentgen, Baldwin and Pinney looked after the candy booth, and the boys, dressed in white aprons, served refresiiments on the back lawn. Ralded n Gambling House. Late Friday night the city marshal's de- partment got out after the proprietors of the upstairs department of the Mint saloon on Middle Broadway, on the supposition that they were engaged in keeping a gambling house. The officers entered both front and back doors simultaneously and surprised about fifty men In the act of bet- ting on the red. There was a hasty exodus, but out of the crowd the officers managed to secure John Scheffler, the proprietor, and s employes, J. C. Hanford, better known as pender Jack,” W. H. Morton, J. O'Neal, J. O. Davis and Frank Wells. They gave Londs for their appearance and gvere discharged for the rest of the night. In police court yesterday morning they were given a hearing. It seemed that they had been given some reason prior to the last city election to hope that they might be allowed to run if they did it quictly During the races a gambling house was ru at the driving park under the protection of the police and marshal's department, and Schefler and his men inferred from this that they could run without fear of molestation The fact that a crap joint was being op- crated cag night in @ saloon less than two blocks from the police statlon was another straw that showed which way the wind blew. The court thought their offence was not a very serious one under the circum- stances, and so he only fined Schefller $14.60 and discharged the rest on their promise of future good behavior. “rut His Foot In One of Council Bluffs' society young men while walking down Main strect dropped into a well known men’s furnishing establish- ment and asked to be shown something “right up to date” in men's shoes. The dealer handed down several pairs of the giddiest things he had in stock, and the young man aftcr carefully inspecting them selected a pair and inquired the price. Upon being told that he could have his cholce for $2.50 he lost no time in putting his foot into it Just such things happen every day at 919 Main street, and it only goes to show that T. B. Hughes is selling men's furnish- ings and shoes cheaper than any one in the city. Call and be convinced. P = enced Two Prisoners Charles Foster, who pounded Constable Baker last winter while the latter was try- ing to arrest him, was found guilty of as- ult in the district court yesterday and sentenced to sixty days in the county jail or to pay a fine of $200. Josie Hulbert, who shot at David Long was given sixty days and a fine of $200, which will run her jail term term up to about five months. Her attorney, Colonel Dailey, asked the court to reconsider the sentence on the ground that she was crazy, having come from a stock that was not al- together clear-brained. Judge Thornell thought about it, but after an.hour or so of thinking concluded not to change his mind. Judge Thornell left for home last evening and will not return any more this term. Tomorrow morning Judge Lewls will arrive in the city and hold his first session of court in this city, commencing on the Melzer blackma'ling case. The grand jury will begin another short session in the morning, and it is likely that some of the indictments they bring in will be tried in court beforc the close of the present term, Frank Jones, charged with burglaring the sho> store of Willlam Asmussen, was ac- quitted by the jury.

The game of base ball at the driving park yesterday between the attorneys and the city and county officials was a very in- teresting affair. There was a great many things about it that would have been objec- tionable to a base ball artist, and the errors flew in with such amazing rapldity that the diamond became too much crowded at times for comfort. But for unadulter- ated fun it was just whar the public had been waiting for, and the by-plays and mis- plays were apfplauded with as much en- Joyment as though it had been Anson's colts that were getting pounded into the earth in (helr_well known way. The game only lasted five innings, though why it was the city ‘and county officials could not exactly determine, further than that the announce- ment of the umpire was made after a short discussion between the umpire and some of the members of the legal nine. The work of Etnyre and Askwith in the pitcher's box and of Thomas and Canning of the officials and Schury of the attorneys behind the bat was highly artistic. At the end of the fifth inning game was called, the attorneys win- ning by a score of 9 to b. % Grand Plaza, Lake Manawa. Grand Plaza will be open to free admis- sion every day up to noon.

The company has loaned between $7,000,000 and $5,000,000 on farms In South Dakota, western Kunsas and Ne- braska, Wyoming, Colorado, Washington, Oregon and Texas. It has outstanding about $3,000,000 of guaranteed loans and $2,000,000 of debenture bonds, and of these $5,600,000 of mortgages 40 per cent have been de- faulted and defendant company is unable to make its guarantee good. Many tracts of land on which the com- any's eastern investors hold first mortgages have been allowed to go to sale for the taxes of 1892 without the knowledge of the eastern investors. It is further alleged that lar sume of money collccted by the company fc eastern investors in its loan and bonds h been spent by the corporation without these Investors’ knowledge or consent. July 1 next $100,000 will be due on thiese degentures in nt's obligations, asking for a principal and $60,000 in interest, and th company will be unable to make the pay- ments. Two hundred thousand dollars of deben- ture bonds issued by the company were based on second mortgages and stocks in defunct institutions. The company holds 400 mortgages, representing $400,000 on land in Holt county, Neb., so poor that purchasers for it could not be found even at tax sale, and it reverted to the county for unpaid taxes. Men took up homesteads on this worthless soil, and by collusion with the company’s local agents, who reported false appraisements to the home office, secured loans of $800 to $1,000, then abandoned the farms as their only purpose in taking up the claims was to secure the loans, In South Dakota also the company holds mortgages on 1,600 tracts of worthless land, many of the ffarmers having abandoned thelr farms after securing the loans. The ease and enormity with which this imposi- tion was practiced on the company is attrib- uted to the careless and reckless manage- ment of the company, particularly in em- ploying incompetent inspectors or fleld agents, who were supposed to examine the lands and pass on their value.

CRESTON, Ia., June 9.—(Special Telegram to The Bee.)—The drouth of over a month’s duration in the blue grass region was broken here today by coplous rains.

BURLINGTON, Ia., June 9.—(Special Tele- gram to The Bee)—Burlington today re- celved Omaha's contingent of Coxeyites. “General” Kelsey and army arrived at 3 this afternoon, and were immediately com- pelled to board a boat and were taken to Shoquon landing, six miles down the Mis- sissippi on the Illinols side. The general and an Omaha newspaper reporter, who seemed to be acting in the capacity of “‘un- known” made a vigorous Kick against leav- ing Burlington so suddenly, but one or two leaders, including the Omaha reporter, were placed under arrest and were taken aboard, when the rest meekly followed, and the boat pulled out amid cheers. Will Take His Medicine. DES MOINES, June 9.—(Special Telegram to The Mee)—The motion for a new trial for George Barnes was overruled in the federal court, and, realizing the doubtful result of a hearing in the appellate court and not caring to incur added costs and heavy attorney fees in the event of defeat, Barnes has concluded to abide by the find- ing of the district court and submit to the sertence of four years' imprisonment at Fort Madison and pay a fine of $1,800. He was given ten days in which to arrange -his buelness affairs. His offense was the pur- chase of $1,400 of stolen postage stamps and acting as a *‘fence” for stolen property.

Rained Th urs at Malvern, MALVERN, Ia., June 9.—(Special to The Bee.)—The drouth of the past four weeks was broken this morning by a fine rain, lasting about three hours. The rain was greatly needed. The hay crop and wheat and oats 1s practically ruined, but the corn will be greatly benefited. The fruit, espe- clally apples, need much more rain to insure a good crop. The small fruit will be only about half a crop, owing to the late frost. Wehther Prophet Honored.
