Dennl son, who lives In Harvey. Chief of Po lice George Alexander and Policeman Ed ward Ott were also included in the com plaint, and Constable Harrington wa brought over from Thornton to arrest the three officials. The news of the arrest threw the little city into a whirl of ex- cltement.

A crowd quickly gathered to Bee the prisoners start for Klverdale to appear before Justice Hand. The prohi bltlonists gloated over the mayor's pre dlcament, and greeted him with shout of derision. They called him a traitor and intimated that his arrest was only the beginning of his punishment for fas tening the saloon on Harvey. The may or'a followers responded with defiant challenges. The feeling between the sa loon and the anti-saloon factions was fannd into a flame with threats and counter threats which foreshadow ft bit ter tight.

I. The National officers and directors of the Ancient Ordar of Hibernians met at the Continental Hotel to-day and passed resolution which are thought to be deeply sls-nlflcant of the policy of the organization in the UnRed State on the question of the methods of furthering the cause of Irish Independence. The resolutions ara said by well informed Irishmen to mean that th Ancient Order of Hibernian indorse the Irish rvolutlonary movement which seeks Irish independence by force of arms, although the text does not convey that statement in that language. The importance of the action taken lie In the fact that it is done in the name of the 600,000 mn who form the society. The resolutions follow; "The Ancient Order of Hibernian ff America, being composed entirely of American citizen of Irish birth or descent, and its work for the century of Its existence as an organization on American soil being on record as an exemplification of organixed effort for faith, country and fatherland, "Resolved, therefore, That we, the National officers and directors of the aforesaid organization, in regular meeting assembled, view of the political conditions now existing in England and Ireland, extend to the people of Ireland our warmest and most sincere sympathy in the magnificent and heroio struggle which they have made for national Independence for their native land, and we bid tnera Godspeed in their patriotic work.

That as representative of the largest and strongest Irish-American society on the continent, every member of which love the liberty of his native and adopted country, ws pledge the faith no realty of this to any policy that they think operative, looking to a natural, regular, aggressive work for Irish independence. Judge Wilherle. of Philadelphia, said "Our resolutions practically endorse the new movement. It is of course in embryo and we can not designate It, but wnen after the convention it becomes an actual fact and is established as a move ment to win the absolute independence of Ireland, then we ahall be free to speak of it.

we win help to make it such movement and we have no fear of the future. Major Edward Sweeney, of Cincin nati, said: "I am. and so are the other otllcers and directors in favor of the new movement so long as we see it is a move ment in the right direction. We are tired of humbug and now we must have active work." Major Slattery, the National secre tary, said: "These resolutions are dis tinctly in favor of the new movement as a revolutionary movement, not other wise.

1. The governor of Nebraska, Silas Holcomb. refused to meet Attorney General Churchill and Commissioner Russell at o'clock thts afternoon for the purpose of appointing the new Omaha police commissioner, tatlng in Justification of his course that he did not deem It his duty nor consist ent with the maintenance of peace and good order to take such hasty and pre- ipttate steps relative to the appoint ment of new board as provided for under the provisions of the act of 1895. which went into effect at midnight July 31, and Is the basis of the A.

Churchill and Russell declared If the overnor refused to meet with them to morrow they would appoint the commls- ion and let them use force to secure the Omaha city property. The old Dollce force is still In posses sion of the city property, armed with pick handles to resist any elTort to take possession under the new regime.

The new force was appointed this afternoon. A riot proclamation was Issued during the afternoon. Mayor Bemls, when asked what prompted him to issue the riot proclamation, said it waa merely a precautionary measure adopted to prevent blood. He said nothing had occurred In the nature of a disorderly act or a demonstra. tlon, so far, on th streets, but from what he had read In the newspapers he believed it was necessary to put the people on their guard against riot.

Chief of Police White when asked why he had a reserve force at police headquarter, said he proposed to enforce the laws of Nebraska. There had been a great deal of Inflammatory talk upon tha street and there had been Inflammatory article printed. In the event of trouble he wanted men on hand to suppress It, I He did not anticipate any trouble, but he had taken time by the forelock to pre pared for an emergency, tinrine the day there were no assem- hlo-es of nersons on any of the streets either with or without riotousnr disorderly conduct.

An observer of nature sitting on one of the seats In Central Park the other day was wondering why across the ruddy asphalt path there was such a migration of those big black headed ants which are to be found here and there about the park: little pre datory fellows which seise the moth or but- lerny mill, just emerging iiora iini winter home, wants to climb un some kind ly twig, grow its wings and then fly whither it llketh. The cause of all the parade was soon apparent. There was to be a new colony formed, and a great brown ant. a queen live times as big as any of her subjects, was being drawn across the path by a guard of honor. A new home was to be esiablished to relieve the overpopulated neat that had been the ants' domicile all through the winter.

The observer, without in anv way inlur- Ing the queen, captured her, and then there was tne rnost tremulous commotion amonir the ants. The queen was carefully housed In a small cone of paper, and then all attention was given to the ants, the workers. A nation which had lost its ruler could not have appeared more distressed than were those ilttle creatures. The news spread with Incredible quickness that the queen of the new colony had been purloined, had vanished. Her guard of a score of soldiers, some three of whom, at least, hit the observer's lingers savagely, were all apparently placed under arrest, and the ground was soon black with ants.

Those from the old homestead were aiding the new colony to find their missing queen, and were scurrying around everywhere, touching antennae, and when no definite news could be given, rushed oft again In search of the missing ruler. After a short time the queen, so egsr-laden that she could not move, wss placed on the path, and In a second after one of me scouts uncovered ner. The scout sn- peared ready to make an obeisance to her he had an interview of a moment and then scuttled oft to find his comrades to tell the good news and to get a cohort of soldiers to take the good lady home. Soon there Wfut a perfnet reKlinent of ants around her, and she v.ns carried to a small hole under the roof of a privet, where, no doubt, the, new home had been delved out in preparation for her arrival. A small tribute to this little glimpse Into nature life was paid by getting some lumps of sugar, softened with water.

They were placed near the new rolony. They were soon found, and the little fellows were busy until sundown In taking down the tiny crvstals they chopped off the rocks they were rucks to themto fill their store houses. New 1'ork Tribune.

Senator Allen Nays the Indians in That State ara ltobbed. Madison, Aug. 1. Senator Allen yesterday transmitted the following: "John Reynolds, Acting Secretary of the Interior Department, Washington, D. Sir: I have the honor to acknowledge the receipt of your telegram of the 26th Inst, in reply to a telegraphic message sent to Hoke Smith, secretary of tne de partment of the Interior, by my col leagues and myself while at Pender mak ing an investigation of affairs at the Omaha and Winnebago agencies.

"I am Just in receipt of a letter which leads me to believe that the post trader has been guilty of selling liquor to the Indians. The charge Is directly made by a clt sen of good standing near tne res ervation. There are other matters, such as dealing in Dubllc. lands by clerks and others more or less closely connected with the agency, that should be investi gated, which are in plain violation or a keen sense of honor. I am well satis- fled that there Is an attempt on the part of some men, embracing the post trader, his brother and others In official and semi-ofllcial positions, to obtain control of a vast tract of Indian lands for their own profit, and this I regard as highly reprehensible, and I believe it to be your duty, as it should be your pleasure, to stop It.

I have been, and am yet, friendly to Captain Beck. I will not believe that he is implicated in any way in an attempt to obtain possession of these lands until I hear further evidence, but I shall certainly Insist at the approaching session of con gress that a thorough and rigid investi gation be made of the manner in which, and persons to whom, the Indian lands are being, and have been, leased, and that nothing shall be left undone to reveal the entire truth.

Anthony, Aug. I. The people of this and surrounding towns are still very much excited over the Indian scare and every hour brines fresh rumors.

It Is said the settlers have organized them selves and are taking every precaution for their own safety. Guards are out by day and night. Indians have been seen In the vicinity of Marysvale for two or three days past, and five citizens were delegated -to ascertain what the Indians were doing. The understanding between these men was that they should meet at a certain cabin in the vicinity at an ap pointed time, wnen tne men approached the cabin tney noticed a number of In dians susfoumling rt and who at once commenced firing.

The three men treated and returned to Marysvale, but Wilson and Ca.pt. Harris, who were among the five, have not as yet turned and it is feared that they have been killed. Msrket Lake, Aug. 1.

"That thrasher Is bringing up hi re serves," said General Hampton, as tha whale was foiled by the swordftsh in his third attempt to sound.

The next attempt of the thrasher was an overwhelming success. He hammered and hammered away at the enemy; ha hit him under the fluke and in the back of the neck and at the base of the spinal column until the whale did not know whether he was off Cape Horn or at tha North Pole. Evidently the wordflsh, who was not seen at any progress of tha duel, but who was undoubtedly felt, kept the big fellow properly posed on the surface for the delectation of his employer. The two old soldiers were delighted and General Hampton's wooden leg thumped his applause on the wharf. No bets were booked, because to even the eye unfamiliar with martial spectaclea the thrasher's superiority was manifest from the beginning.

The grampus played around the arena and must have been extremely gratified to see their haughty social relative crucified in so scientific a fashion. Finally the whale turned tall and boomed away for Point Cypress with tha thrasher hot in his wake. Science had' once more prevalledover brute strength, GREAT TUNNELS.

Tha oldest tunnel Hoosae cost $379 a foot! Mount Cents, the next oldest, cost J35 a foot; St. Golhard cost 1:29 a foot, and tha most recent tunnel of the four the Arl-berg cost only IIS4 a foot. All four were old settled countries, with abundant labor, and the very great difference in cost per foot plainly marked the progress of science, because it waa the Invention and improvement In tool that made It possible to reduce the time and thus the cost. To observe the difference between tha work on the three great European tunnels, built by government aid in old-settled countries, it may be well to observe for a moment the work done on a comparatively small tunnel built far from civilization through the Cascade mountains, on the line of the Northern Paclfiij Railroad. The mountain through which the tunnel Is cut Is 8,700 feet above the floor of the tunnel, To understand th magnitude and difficulty or this undertaking It must be observed that the site of the tunnel et 'the time the contract for the con-atruetion was signed was an unbroken wilderness.

At the then existing terminus of rail connection everything men and tents, food, horses, machinery, lumber, hospitals, and In fact, the materiel for th'i armr had to be transported over Improvised roads eighty-two miles through forests, through anow and mud, to the east portal of the tunnel, and elghty-even. mil to the west portal. Six month passed before all the machinery was on the spot.

The tunnel Is 16V4 fet wide and 22 feet high, and the entire distance (R.950 feet) was bored through the mountain In twenty-two months, the rate of progress with the power drill being 413 f-t a month, and 'the roet of the completed tunnel waa only.

EXCITING mXrLNE DUEL Whale and Thrasher Battle In Monterey Bay Two Generals as Spectators. Sfftence Prevail Over Brute Strength, ana the Whale Seeks safety In FHeht. From tut San FranH) Crtfl.

Beguiled by the antic of a school of rollicking grampu a big whale wandered into the confine of Monterey Bay on Thursday. It was a general game of tag. but business tag those fish were playing at. The water was the scene of the most incessant activity. The salmon were pusuing the sardines and the grampus the salmon, when the big whale dropped in to see how the kelp crop wa getting along.

General Wade Hampton and Gen. Forsyth, both heroe of many battle, were standing on the bath house wharf as the leviathan approached, and thus unexpectedly became the umpire of an exciting marine contest The grampu were not disturbed by the appearance of their collossal cousin. They rolled and tumbled, and were, to all appearances, out for a good time. The whale kept away from them toward the northern side of the bay. They were not In hi aet, and he despised their frivol ity.

Ned Oreenway, contemplating the gyrations of a picnio of the Fern Leaf Social club, could not have shown more contemptuous indifference than this mon ster. But there was an enemy on his trail, a keen and active foe, who was after his scalp, and doubtless had he known of the presence of thl Implaca ble and formidable sleuth, he would not havo been diverted from hi Journey to the waters of Alaska. The ex-Confederate general and the commander of the military division of the Pacific were deep in a discussion on the attack on Fori Hudson when a tremendous whack, a sound like the falling of a gigantio shingle upon the cuticle of a bad boy, attracted hi attention. They looked seaward and saw the beginning of a fierce and moat Interesting battle. The whale's musings in the kelp had been rudely disturbed by the terrific onslaught of a thrasher, that vindictive and muscu.

lar hoodlum, who has sworn rengenco against the entire leviathan family. The thrasher, a shark-shaped fellow, from sixteen to twenty feet in length, launched himself on the broad back of his foe and hit him an awful slash with his tail. The whale rolled over and attempted -to sound, But the thrasher never goes alone on these excursions. When he take the warpath he engage the services of the ewordllBh, who attends to the deep-water part of the Job. Therefore when the smarting and frightened whale dives for the bottom he encounters the lance of the thrasher's chum, which sends him quickly to the surface again take more punishment.

Now, this ally, so far a he can be observed, does not prod the whale on his own account. It only when the monster plunges down for sanctuary that he gives him the business end of his snout. Again the thrasher let go his powerful tall, catching the whale this time on the flank and apparently knocking him silly, for he waltzed around in a circle before attempting to sound, doubtless with a painful appreciation of the swordfiah. He endeavored to do some slashing on his own account, but the thrasher was too quick for him, and, in the graphic literature of the prize ring, dodged and countered heavily. "Five to one on the whale!" cried General Hampton excitedly on the execution of this last assault.
