THE LOUNGER IN THE
Herrmann Telia of His Experiences with
the Fakirs of India.
ATTRACTIONS FOR THE COMING WEEK ,
Wlmt the Theatres JInvc to Offer for
the Amusement of I'ntrotis
The Marino Hand Coming
to the Coliseum.
There is a subtle charm about the work of
the clover conjuror which is found in no
other branch of the theatrical profession.
Ono cannot altogether repress a feeling of
tbo supernatural as trick after trick , illusion
after Illusion , follcws each other In rapid suc
cession at the will of the prcstldlgltatcur.
In these days when magic has reached n
very high plane , and the world knows that
the magician depends upon tbo dexterity of
his hand to mystify his audience , still thtro
come * a feeling that all Is not deception of
the eye , but rather a performance in which
his satanic majesty plays no Inconsequential
part.
So clover are the wizards of our day that
Nostradamus , or Rugglcrl , or oven the
awful Merlin himself , could they see these
nineteenth century performances , would look
on In wonderment and maybe Inwardly remark
mark that truly thelroccupatlons wore gone ,
their proper places In the graveyard of burled
uopos.
' "Herrmann , who is a delightful talker , on
tcrtalned few friends the other evening
with some of his experiences in India , which
may prove interesting reading
Naturally on hlsfirstvislttoIndlaHcrrmann
was curious to sco something of the famous
Jugglers of whom travelers have told such
marvelous tales. Ho wont out of his way to
moot any famous performer who could only
bo reached In that manner and the result
was that betH eon the time ho landed at Cal
cutta and the time ho embarked nt Bombay ,
ho had witnessed about everything of note
in the Juggling line that thofountry afforded.
The opinion ho formed after seeing nil they
oould show him was that , apart from their
nklil as snake charmers. In the basket trick
and ono or two other illusions , the ability of
the entire fraternity of Indian Jugglers Is
beneath contomnt ,
"I had hcarif a great deal about the won
derful mango trick , " said this modern Merlin ,
"in which the native Jugglers were said to
plant n mango seed in the earth , whence it
would bo seen to sprout and gradually grow
into a full si/ed mango tree , blossom and
Ji ripen fruit in full view of the spectators.
"They further declared that the fruit
would bo handed around to whomever cared
to tnsto of it. Stories to this effect had boon
told by so many travelers of repute that I
really expected to find some merit in the
trick. At Allahabad. Cawnporo , Lucknow ,
Delhi and Bombay I saw native Jugglers who
Old the trick and each time they performed it
precisely as follows : The fakirs , usually
llvo or six in number , would squat on the
ground and tbo spokesman would asK the
spectators to select a spot of earth on which
they desired the trick to bo performed. This
being done ho would pick up the earth with
_ a small pointed Instrument In order to raako a
soft spot ; then putting up a skeleton frame
of tripod shape ho would throw a shawl or
cloth ( without which the fakir would bo like
n ship without a ruddcrjover it , so as to make
a sort of tent.
"Ono of the conjurors , wearing a long robe
with side sleeves , would then produce a
mango seed , and placing both hands and arms
under the Improvised Unit would plant the
seed , bis bands and arms being out of sight
under the tent during the operation. His
comrades would then perform some slmpld
tricks with cups , bulls , etc. , after which the
cover over the tripod would bo removed and
n small sprout would bo soon in'tbo side of
the mango seed.
"When the cover was again thrown over
the tripod the fellow with the long sleeves
would once moro put his arms under the tent
so formed. After another Interval of three
or four minutes the cover would bo again removed -
moved and there would bo seen a branch of
the mango tree about two feet In height ,
bearing a low mangoes , ? amo green , others
The secret of this trick is vosy simple and
so shallow that it requires llttlo explanation.
The man who placed his hands under the
cover first Inserted the sprout in the seed and
the next time ho drew from his umplo sleeves
a branch out from a neighboring mango trco
and thrust the cut end into the earth , wnich
had previously been softonod. "
Some one then asked Herrmann if ho had
over scon the trick performed of throwing a
ball of twlno in the air to form a sort of Jaulc-
nml-tho-bean-stock , up which the Juggler
climbed out of sight , pulling the string after
him , and that the pistol shot of n companion
conjuror brought the aerial climber to tbo
earth in fragments , which , when brought to-
Kftthor , bceamo a living , uninjured man
, again.
\j-v 'No , I never saw that trick , " replied Horr-
inatfn , "and the people who bollevo it can bo
done , must have their brains steeped in
hasheesh. You hear of this trick in India ,
but somehow I never was able to find n con
jurer who would attempt it. Most of the
wonders attributed to Oriental Jupplors have
never existed ontsido of the imaginations of
these who tell thorn.
"Tho feats of snake charming , howover.nro
marvelous , and If tricks , they utterly defy
detection. When I was at Allahabad a fol
low came Into my room with nothing on but a
breech clout and said : -Plenty big snake
hero , Sahib. Plenty big snake in room.1 I
told him to go off ; that I had seen all his
snakn trlckn.and did not want to bo bothered ,
but bo Insisted upon It that there wore plenty
of snakes In tha room ? so I told him to go
ahead and call them out If there wore any.
. , "Ho stood up In tbo middle of the room
aud began to play on a sort of ( Into ho bad
with him. Now mind you , there was no fur-
nltuio lu the room but a cot bed and two or
three chairs. Ho had not played two minutes
before I saw the sheet on the bed rtso up till
It looked llko a small tent , and then an enor
mous coora crawled out and celled itself on the
floor with its head erect aud its tcnguo dart
ing out in anger.
'In an Instant I saw other snakes crawling
from all corners of the apartment and they
placed themselves along side their compan
ion. The toklr , still playing on his flute , led
the wav in the door and the snakes followed
him. ilo paused at tha threshold and they
rcaied then1 heads in anger. Just as I was
beginning to get nervous another fakir crept
up behind them and cut their heads off with
n .sharp swbrd which ho carried.
"Now I have no other explanation for this
trick than that the snakes were trained to
wind themselves around the bodies of the
men undorcuath the breech clout. When
they entered my apartment my attention was
attracted to the spokesman , not to his com-
pnnlon , and ho might huvo placed the snakes
in the room while I was watching the lluto
plavor. This is mv only explanation. "
"What do you thin it of hypnotism as an ex
planation of some of the tricks rtouo bv the
lllndoosl" asked a listener.
"Well , I do know that mesmerism , which
1st rally a form of hypnotism , la yet in Iti
infancy , and the future will show wondorfi
results in this branch of occultism. It seems
incredible , however , that ono man should
jKissass the power of hypnotizing two or
throe hundred people , as thcro are sometimes
nround a fakir in India. But it is a profound
subject , and I don't pretend to solve It , "

On Thursday night of this week the over
popular "T K. " gunrtotto of this city will
take their first benefit nt Young Men's Chris
tian association hall They are fortunate in
being able to secure the services of the cele
brated violin virtuoso , Hans Albert , as the
attraction for their concert. Ho is without
doubt ono of the greatest artists now before
the public. Herr Gabm , who will accom
pany him on the piano , has also a wldo repu
tation as a pianist and bos consented to play
a solo. The programme arranged is an excel
lent ono and will glvo an opportunity to the
audience in judglnir of their ability both insole -
solo and concerted numbers.
Arrangements have been made with the
celebrated Marino band of tbo national
capital to give a matlneo and evening per
formance at the Coliseum April 33 , under the
management of Hoedur & Boll , the tour
of the band being under the direction
of David Blakoloy , who has represented
P. S. Gllmoro for years. In December Man
ager BlaKciy wrote the navy department that
music lovers all over the country were eager
to hoar the baud aud that they were pre
vented because they could not afford n trip to
Washington , where the band makes Its head
quarters , lie suggested that a trip of from
four to six weeks in the principal cities of the
country would advance the public Interests
of first-class music. Secretary Tracy then
sent for Director Sousa whom every Wash-
ingtouian knows aud after laying the
schema before him sent him to talk it over
with the president.
The bandmaster told the president that by
sending tbo bund out on a suml-ofticlal tour
the American taste for its own music would
ho lnnrnfi nil i\nH thnt. nvnrxAmnrin.ln wnnlcl
bo a bettor citizen for having heard such
music. This seemed to catch the preMdent's
fancy , and ho gave his consent. The govern
ment is put to no expense in the matter , but
simply permits the band to take a leave of
absence under the direction of Mr. Blakoly.
In addition to the band concert Mile. Marie
Docca , prlma donna soprano from her majes
ty's Italian op-ra , London , will appear in a
programme of song. She is ono of the great
singers aud alone would be considered a very
strong attraction. _
Manager Lawler of tbo Eden Musee has
prepared n dainty entertainment for his
patrons this week. Miss Sherwood , the
famous harp player whoso beautiful and en
trancing music Is making her n name , is ono
of the stars engaged. Charles Diamond is
also a harp player of national renown. The
Spanish troubadours with their harmonious
instrumental music will provo a pleasing
feature. Mile. Holtairo's musical glasses
form a pleasing diversion. The Dixon
Brothers are artists of well kuown ability
and will sing and dance as only
tbo Dixons can. Sig. Jimonezoy Is known
throughout the world as the Mexican mando
lin player , and his engagement will only in
crease the high standing of the show. The
Glcason children in an olio of songs and

'Some plan must bo adopted by which wo
can keep tab on the street commissioner , "
said Major Furay at tbo special mooting of
tbo board of public works hold yesterday
morning. "The way the office Is run at the
present tlmo wo have no way of telling
whether ho has ono man employed or 100.
Ho can certify to a pay roll and
wo take it for granted that it is correct ,
after which wo certify the sarao to the city
council and the monny Is paid over. "
Major Birkhausor said that ho had always
found the street commissioner honoat.
"That may bo true , " continued Major
Fumy , "but'it Is not the way to do business.
Wo have to take the street com
missioner's word when
wo approve -
provo his bills and right now I
will say that wo know justas much about the
bills of tbo board of health lu wo do about
these thit this man presents. "
The members decided that It would bo im
possible for them to visit the places where
men were laboring and check up each day.
As a way In which to got out of the difficulty ,
the chairman was instructed to confer with
the mayor.
Councilman Olson appeared before the
board and talked permanent sldowalks.
His Idea was to have stone walks laid on
all streets within tha old 11 ro limits and brick
'walks along all curbed and paved streets , or
at least whenever now walks are laid , or old
ones ropaiicd.
The members of the board nerced to this
and an ordinance providing for the same will
bn drafted and ure.ieatcd to the city council.
The bill of ( j. C. Squires , amounting to
$015.19 , for cleaning streets , was presented
and ordered paid.
The old question of four-horso sweepers
was again agitated by the chairman , but no
was shut off-by Mr. Squires , who informed -
formed him that such n machine had
boon purchased aud will bo ou band and
ready ! uo next Wednesday.
Owing to them being a largo number of
applications on hand for iK ltlons as inspec
tors , the secretary was instructed to have
blank applications printed that u record of
the applicants may bo kept on file.

and Growth.
ONCE IT WAS STALWART REPUBLICAN
When "Iionc" 'Tones Hun It Into a
Lib'l Suit How it linn
Prospered Slnuo Its
Itcforiiintlon.
CHICAGO , April 11. [ Special to THE
Tbo circulation of the Chicago llcrald
boomed from the very beginning. The 'ast '
Issue of the Daily Telegraph , which It pur
chased early In May , 1831 , was 1,010 copies.
When Its successor , the Chicago Herald ,
made .its bow to the public Mny 10 , 1SS1 , Its
salutatory went out In 1,0(7 ( copies.
The founders of the Herald wore James W.
Scott , Frank W. Palmer , A. M. Jones aod
Daniel Shepanl. TUo Mr. Jones referred
to Is none other than Mr.Long"
Jones , the famous political machinist , now
chairman of the republican central committco
and late managing editor of the anti-Palmer
forces ixt Springfield. Mr. Palmer and Mr.
Shcpard were also strong republicans , and
the paper Itself was established as the repre
sentative of stahvartlsm. But Its allegiance
to the party was short lived. Intended as
the ropres ntaUvo of Logan republicanism ,
niter Its first year it maintained allegiance
to no party , and before Its first presidential
campaign it bccamn the exponent of Cleveland
land democracy. It was lively , bright and
aggressive from the beginning and one of Its
llrat achievements was to incur a libel suit
brought by the late E. J. tiobman us a re
sult of which a verdict for $ . ,000 was ren
dered against it. A compromise was effected
under which Mr. Lehman and the Herald
each paid W.OOO to charitable objects.
Tufa libel suit resulted in the sale
of the Interests of I'almcr , Jones ,
& Shcpard to John U. Walsh and Martin J.
Kussell. Under the reorganization Mr. Hus-
sell became edltor-lu-chlof and Horatio W.
Seymour assistant editor. The paper ,
which under Mr. Palmer's management had
attained u certain degree of success as a
party organ , now began to develop Jute a
newspaper m the truest sense , but
did llttlo beyond making its own
expenses. It was a seven column
folio , as at present , and as beautifully
printed and sold for 2 cents on week days ,
and on Sunday llrst at a and afterward at 5
cents. The dally issue consisted of four
and the Sunday number of olfht pages
When Mr. Seymour was made managing cdl
tor the paper had a circulation of about
twenty-live thousand Copies. It had a good
standing in the Journalistic Held , and among
the people at large , but was not a financial
success. The cautious management of Mr.
Hussell , which was eminently adapted tenet
not a now paper on its foot , was
entirely too conservative for n paper which
had the ambition to take its place at the toj
in a city Hko Chicago. The accession of Mr.
Walsh to the list of stockholders at once
placed the Herald in n position to enter vigor
ously into the struggle for Journalistic
supremacy. It was the money of Mr. Walsh
combined with the brains of Mr. Scott in th
business department and Mr. Seymour in
the managing editor's chair that carried the
Herald almost at ono stride into the front
rank of American newspapers.
Mr. Seymour's llrst net on assumingchargo
was to enlarge the daily issue to eight pages ,
with a largo edition on Saturday and a whola
library on Sunday. The price remained the
same and its circulation u'egan to increase at
a marvelous rate. Moro than any ono other
stroke of enterprise this contributed to the
phenomenal growth of the now paper. With
the increased space to ill ! It was necessary to
expand the news service. This was done
regardless of the expense It entailed. Cor
respondents wore instructed ttiat the Herald
was above nil a newspaper and that it must
have the news at all times. The paper was
not hampered by any traditions as to what
constituted nows. It wont on the theory that
there are things in this world worth print
ing and paving telegraph tolls on outside of
the old classifications of crimes , disasters ,
politics and obituaries. News meant the first
account of anything which people would
care to read about. Now features , now
ideas were eagerly sought for and liberally
paid for. The custom of distinguishing matter -
tor sent by tno paper's own correspondents
from that furnished by the regular press as
sociations was disregarded. The manage
ment of the Herald believed its readers
wanted news which was fresh and reliable ,
and cared very little where It came from.
At first the news service of the paper was
furnished almost entirely by special corre
spondents. The Associated press then
had a practical monopoly and it
was impossible for the Herald to become a
member of it in Chicago. In making this
newspaper it became necessary to perform an
architectural feat quite common in Chicago.
It built the very ground on which it stands.
The Herald and the United press to all In
tents and purposes are twins.
When the Herald bought the Dally Tele
graph tno latter held a franchise In the Na
tional Press association which very shortly
thereafter went out of existence and the
United Press association took its placo. Mr.
Scott was elected president both of the Herald -
ald company and the Press association and
ho applied the same energy and good Judg
ment to tno management of both. The phe
nomenal success of the paper contributed
grcatiy to the succors of the association and
it was only a comparatively short time until
this young and vigorous rival of the Associ
ated press was furnishing news to papers in
nearly every Important city in the country.
Mr. Seymour , who now has charge of the
editorial page of the paper , is from the same
stock as the late Horatio Seymour
and is as thoroughly a democrat as
was the latter although the pa
per has very independent tendencies
and can not always bo depended upon to fall
into line at sound of the partv buglo. Tbo
Herald was the originator of the Palmer-for-
senatoi * idea and nursed It into a full grown
Doom.
There is no snobbery about the Herald
ofllco. Mr. Taylor , tbo present managing ed
itor , is ono of iho most gcniul of men. Like
everybody else in the establishment ho Is a
very busy man , but bo is always approacha
ble and universally popular. Ono of the old
est employes on the pajrar said to mo :
"I think the wonderful success of the Her
ald is due , more than any other ono thing , to
the enthusiasm which Taylor and Seymour
have always Inspired in the men who w.ork
under them. Its the same sort of devotion
which soldiers feel for their commanders.
Everybody has a deep personal interest In
the paper and works as hard in whatever
Held ho may bo assigned to as sf ho held sev
eral blocks of stock.1'
The present homo of the Herald is in strik
ing contrast , so far as appearances is con
cerned , to the paper Itself. It has few con
veniences except such as are essential to the
getting out of the paper. Every man is
his own elevator. There are four
llcors , the second , third and fourth , which
ara reached by stairs fee bio with ago and
worn deep with the tread of many foot. On
the first lloor is the counting room and It is
anything but the dream of white pillars and
marclo counters to which the patrons of THE
BEE nro accustomed. On the satno floor is
tuo oftlco of Mr. bcott , which is reached by a
loup system similar to that employed by the
North and West Side cable roads. Oh the
second iloor is Mr. Taylor , Mr. Seymour , th <
literary and exchange editors , and the edito
rial writers. Next above is the telegraph
room , tbo reporters , and the United Press ,
and on the too iloor are compositors and
atcreotypors. The Herald expects to raovo
into its ilno now building on Washington
street some time in Juno. The birth of that

'Iho difference , originating somctimo ago
between the South Omaha live stock ex
change and the American live stock commis
sion company , over the alleged violations of
rules of the exchange , has boon amicably set
tled. The llvo stock exchange rules , under
severe , penalty , prohibit members from cut

The American llvo stock commission

whoso stock is distributed only amou ? stock
owners and raisers. The profits nro re
turned to stockholders by dividends in cer
tain proportions on the capital stock held
and llvo stock shipped. This the llvo stock
exchange conceived was a virtual violation
of the rule prohibiting rebates and the exchange
change took action to prevent members from
buying from , selling to or traniclug with
the American llvo stock commission com
pany and others doing business In a similar
manner. The matter finally went Into
the district court on an application
made by a representative of the
American' llvo stock commission com

Mr. F. W. Brown , vice president of the

decided to remove the general offices of the
company to Lincoln and will tatco uphls resi

bo greatly regretted by Omaha people.
For a number of year I have boon subject
to violent attacks of inflammatory rheuma
tism which generally lasted about two
months. On tho-first of this mouth I was
attacked in the lnco and suffered severely
for two days , when I procured a bottle of
Chamberlain's Pain Balm and it relieved mo
almost instantly. I therefore most cheerfully
recommend it 'to tboso who are similarly
afflicted everywhere. R. D. Whitley , Mar-

The Warehouse Bill.
OMAHA , Neb. , April 10. To the Editor of
THE BKE : Apropos your editorial , the ware
house bill will not only help Omaha but every
city in the state. It will create home mar
kets at Omaha , Lincoln , Grand Island , Beat
rice , Nebraska City , Columbus and other
points in Nebraska. If tbo bill as passed
corresponds with the original text it will
ultimately result in giving employ-
meat to thousands. It cieates a now
lines of business licensed warehousing
under state control such as Nebraska has
novnrbnd. The warehouses known as class
C will cover the storage of every description
of property not specially hazardous. These
articles will embrace flour , provisions , gnus
seed , llax seed , hides , wool , butter , eggs ,
dressed poultry , dressed bogs , etc. By this
you will see our commission aud produce men
can solicit business from every state aud ter
ritory west of the Missouri river , and sell the
stuff "on ' " in Omaha
'change" to eastern , Eu
ropean and , under the reciprocity
system , South American buyers. Ul
timately it ought to give Omaha
at least $50,000,000 new business annually
more than it now has. This will bo exclusive
of the enormous developments in the balance
of the stato. Other benefits are conferred ,
ono of which gives the Nebraska farmer a
chance to hold his grain and other products
until ho wishes to sell Just as soon as the
warehouses and olovnors are provided to
handle this now business. In short , the
warehouse bill places JLnnaha and other Ne
braska cities on the cxuqb footing of Chicago
and St. Louis. THH DBF. certainly
knows what that yflieans m its tro-
moadous ( I use tbo WOTI ! advisedly ) advan
tage to the farmers Taqd business men of
Nebraska. I would earnestly urge tbo board
of trade , the banks , firsln , commission and
produce dealers and the warehouse men of all
classes to raako Immediate arrangements to
handle this new busings-so that when Gov
ernor Boyd signs the bill * and the law takes
'
effect , th'o business will bo organized an
other feature of tlio motrppolltan growth of
Omaha , and tbo magul 6ont development of
Nebraska. " - .
The Intent of the billo is ono of great ma
terial benefit to the peoplb of tbo state and
the trans-Missouri rlroV region of which

IOWA'S ' WONDERFUL ICE CAVE
Peculiar Freak of Nature in the Vicinity of
Decoiali ,
ONLY ONE OTHER IN THE WORLD.
A Cavern Wliioh In as Cold n < * Greenland -
land in the Summer ntut ns
Warm as tlio Tropics
in Winter.
Hidden deep among the hills in north
eastern Iowa , far from the eyes of the
"special feature" writer , there exists ono of
the wonder works of nature. A phenomenon
which again proves that everything In art
and in mechanics bos for its suggestive Idea
some peculiarity or freak in nature.
Somewhere along the icy coast of Finland
Jn Russia thcro.is a great cave , having for its
iloor , its walls , and its celling great
masses of glistening , glimmering Ice , which
like a mirror throws back tno pale electric
rays of the aurora borealls as It quivers and
scintillates far in the mysterious north. ,
The ice cave at Decorah , in Winneshiok
county , Iowa , while it presents no particular
feature of beauty in itself. It bears tbo ency
clopedical honor of being the only ice cave in
the world besides the ono mentioned In the
far off land of the Fins.
Na turo has dealt lavishly with thcllttlo
town of Decorah , much moro so than art has ,
or over can do. It nestles sleepily in ono of
the most picturesque and beautiful valleys in
the state of Iowa "tho land of the beautiful
view. " To the north of the town perhaps
half a mile ttiore extends for a mile east and
west what is called "tho uallsado. " This is
a precipitous formation of rock worn perpen
dicular by tbo action of water ages and ages
ago. The cliff is 250 feet high , and at Its
basn winds in aud out among the trees the
beautiful Uuper Iowa river. A steep ascent
of nearly two hundred feet and you como to
the mouth of the Ice cavo. It must bo visited
In the summer tlmo for it Is then its remark
able feature is disclosed In all its pristine
glory. Take the very hottest day in July or
August and after having struggled up the
cliff to the mouth of the cave one is in excel
lent condition to appreciate this natural re
frigerator.
There Is a lodge extending out perhaps forty
feet from the entrance , and as soon as this Is
reached tlio icy draught caused by the air
currents passing in and out of the cave is
already felt.
The good people of Decorah have placed a
largo frame at the opening to prevent its
being closed by the rocks which nro con
tinually falling from the cliff abovo. Enter
ing the cave the air grows colder and colder.
There are two compartments. The first ex
tending downward aud in a distance of fifty
or seventy-live feet , nt the extremity of
which Is a sharp decline of ten or fifteen
feet : and If the thermometer registers 105
degrees In the shade outside you may bo sura
to Hnd hero a natural toboggan slide. This
is the first indication of Ice and nearly every
visitor is allowed to take the load at this
point , because of the astonishing surprise
awaiting him , A stop or two In the decline
and ho is precipitated clear to the bottom ,
the dcclino being plazed with a coating of
ice an inch or two in thickness.
It U a very interesting sensation to stop
out In the dark and in the twinkling of an
eye find oneself shooting down into some un
known and unlmaglned depth , and under tbo
proper 'psychological conditions ono can
think of a great many past deeds , good or
otherwise , as the case may bo.
But tbo slide brings uu , or down , rather ,
to the Ice cave proper.
This is a room forty foot long , ranirlng from
eight to ton feet wide , and so high that in
places you cannot aoo the top. Beneath ,
above and at the sides it is ono mass of pure
crystalline ice , two , three , and in places eight
inches In thickness. Tha ice Is as transparent
as a pane of glass , and In the rock beneath
can bo seen small petrified fish , snails and
eels. If you chip oil the Ice , and break off a
piece of the rock , it will remain damp and
cold for an hour after having left the cave.
A few minutes is as long as ono dare remain
in this natural Ice box , owing to the blub
temperature of the blood at this tlmo of the
year.
year.What makes the cave so peculiar Is the
fact that the thickness of the ice inside is
apparently regulated by the condition of the
atmosphere outside. Tlio hotter and dryer
the air , the colder and thicker the Ice on the
inside. And on the other hand , when it is
cold enough to nip ono's oars whllo walking
half a block , iusido of the cave it is warm and
damn , and the drip , drip of the water as it
continuously falls from tbo rocks reminds ono
of spring or the dropping of rain after an
April shower from the eves of a summer cot
tage.
This cave Is renowned in tso legends of
tno Winncshick and Culrkasaw Indians. Not
moro than sixty years ago old Decorah , chief
of all \Vltino5hloks , used it In summer
for preserving dressed game , such as deer ,
antelope , etc.
The town of Decorah has a population of
about four thousand , and it is located 123
miles northeast of Dubuquo.
