"THE SHAKESPEARE." A Den of Iniquity Which Should be Closed.

James Inman, the proprietor of the Shakespeare saloon, corner Thirteenth and streets, sent a communication to this office last Thursday denying the trouble that occurred in his place Tuesday night. The article covered four pages of foolscap paper and was very closely written. When it reached the hands of the city editor it waa thrown into the waste basket, because of tha evidence that had been procured contrary te Inman's assertions. It was not published, Inman ordered hia paper stopped, and if he had done it some time ago The Call would have been better off. The cock and bull story pnt up by In man in his communication would have added insult to the injury he had done the public by permitting, if he was present himself, the trouble that oc curred, in which four men were bo badly beaten up that they have not yet been seen on the streets, if it had been published.

Inman not only runs a disorderly bouse but he openly violates the law prohibiting wine rooms, and on the night that the matter men tioned took place, two prostitutes stood upon chairs in one of the side rooms and watched the meloe as it progressed. There has hardly been a day but what from one lo a half dozen of the women of the town gather there and if Mr. Inman wants the proof he can have it, but he will never ask for it. WOMAN'S CLUB.

Selected for the Week's Study and Pleasure. The good people of Lincoln will be lad to know that among the woods of Lincoln Park is to be held an assembly of the first class during August of the next year. This is to be brought about and made a delightful fact by the Nebraska Conference Epworth League. This organization has held five annual conventions which have been very largely attended and full of enthusiasm. The first meeting was held in Lincoln; the second at York; the third at Beatrice; the fourth at Lincoln and the fifth at Nebraska City.

The attendance has increased yearly becoming' so large that the large tent used at the last convention at Nebraska City proved inadequate to accommodate the crowd. At the last session held here as many as 2,000 people were turned away in one night because of the inadequacy of Grace church to accommodate the overflow. At the meeting1 last June, a move ment was started that will certainly lend interest to the work and prove of great advantage to all who will avail themselves of the opportunity and privileges afforded. It was then decided to establish an assembly on the order of the Chautauqua at which Bible and Epworth studies should be taken ud and the finest course of lectures and entertainments provided Rev. Dr.

C. M. Shepherd of this city conceived the idea that Lincoln Park was the best nlace in which to hold such an assembly. Borne of the public spirited citizens in Lincoln made up purse of $400 toward defraying the expenses of the assembly if located here and aftr a careful consideration of the different Chautauqua grounds, the committee decided that the amenably shall tie located at Lincoln Park, the dates to be August 3-10, -Iiie auditorium at the park will seat 1,000 people while the amphitheatre will accommodate 3,003. A platform for speakers and orchestra will 09 coa Btructed in front of tho amphitheatre and it is the intention to hold one the grandest meetings on Sunday, August Tth ever witnessed in the west.

Bishop V. X. Ninde, of Detroit, presidentof the" national, league, Rev, J. P. Berry, editor of the Epworth Herald, and a large group of equally competent speakers will be in atten dance at the session.

All necessary details will be care fully arranged. A half fare rate has been obtained from the railroads and it is expected that at least 10,000 people will congregate on the grounds during the encampment. Lincoln Park is peculiarly adapted to such gather ings. It is just far enough away from the rfity to escape the noise and is still withing a radius that may be reached in a ten minute's ride by street car. It is one of the most beautiful spots in the state.

There is an abundance of clear, pure water, plenty of large shade trees to shelter the gatherings from the hot rays of the midsummer's sun, and any amount of territory over which to pitch tents. In fact it is an ideal camping ground. The Epworth assembly idea is one of those projects that cannot fail to enlist the hearty sympathy and co-operation of the civilized world. The principal leaders in the movement are found among the most intelligent and progressive class of people. The intention as explained by the most conversant with the workings is to organize summer schools in all parts of the country to be held in the woods at that season of the year when nature is at its best.

However, these schools are not intended simply as a means of recreation, but are planned for study, where both old and young may learn more of Epworth League methods and themes. The instructions are practical. Methods which have boen tried and found necessful ere explained and simplified in such a manner as to make the work clear, if not fascinating. L. O.

Jones, one of our most active business men, is chairman of the executive committee, and will be a most tireless worker for the assembly. Much of its success so far is due to his efforts. Other members of the executive committee are I)r- C. M. Shepherd, E.

K. Lesh ot York, Rev. O. W. Fifer of Geneva, and Rev.

II. Wor-lcy of Table Rock. It is to be hoped that the citizens of Lincoln will ffive the movement every possible attention and aid, and thereby assist in making the meoting next Augusta memorable one in the history of Christianity in Nebraska. The following resolutions relating to the matter, passed at the Euworth League convention held here last week: The Lincoln District League in con SAYS HE "WILFULLY LIED Other Matters that Happened in the District Court Yesterday.

EXTRAORDINARY SESSION. Former Decisions Reversed and a be- rrce in Favor of the Plaintiff. Col. Richard Johnson who is so pro lific of surprises on his guests and friends, took everybody unawares last Sunday by converting his dining room into the supreme court chamber and without warning or due notice opened court, Bled a brief and demanded a verdict upon six points fairly well covered, Everybody was knocked out on the first point by being plunged into the soup, and stayed on the second noint because the guests had to eat spinach to save their bacon. The third point wasn't so difficult but every bodv beefed on the sirloin while the domestic goose and apple sauce was accepted under protest.

The fourth point was "a la Baltimore" while the entire party accepted puff fritters with custard sauce and asked "to be put off at Buffalo." The fifth point was simple enough. It was neithe- material nor immaterial. It was cliicken salad and the court's de vision wasreserved. The sixth point I was complex, inciuuing several aeieei able ingredients ot tne leader "as fruit pudding and brandy sauce. Other ernbellishnaents, too numerous to admit or a general denial, were nrodu ced and passed npon by the court with an alacrity which surprised the defecdants et al.

Wcyler Gives Up and Returns ont a Decisive Wow. New York, Nov. SI. A special to the Herald from Washington bays: Appreciating that tle return of General Weyler from the present campaign without making any he.vlway against Maceo's forces will greatly ag-gravate the already critical situtition in Cuba, ollicials anddeplomats in Washington have been earnestly discussi ng for some days various plans for relieving the situation.

The question of a Spanish-Cuban armistice has been widely discussed. If the conditions will admit there ia every reason to believe the administration will exercise its good offices to bring about an armistice in the event that affairs become more critical because of an unsuccessful campaign against Maceo. It is understood that one form of peaceful intervention which Consul General Leo has proposed to the authorities here contemplates the use of the good oflices of ilie United States to bring about a modus vivende for a sufficient time to enable negotiations to be conducted for securing the independence of Cuba by purchase, (he I'nited States guaranteeing the payment. General Lee has not advised the immediate adoption of this plan, believing there would hnvo to be a change in the situation bsfore it could be put into practical effect. HUULINOTON TIME t'AKD.
