The school board will meet this evening
and will allow hills , and transact other busi
ness that would properly como up at the
regular monthly meeting , which takes plnco
on the fourth Friday of the month. It Is
probable that hereafter the regular meeting
will bo held on the llrsl Monday In the
month.
One of the things that is to como up before
the board tonight fo.r settlement is the school
house matter , on Harrison street. The peti
tion of tno property owners uf the
north end of Harrison street asking
for a school house was presented at
tlio last meeting and most of the
member * were in favor of it. A ride was
taken by the board over the territory In ques
tion , and after the members of the boai-.t had
had a chnnco to look at the ground , some of
them decided that they did not want the
building , as there wore not enough people
living there to Justify the building of a
$10,000 school house and the expense of main
taining It. Member Shubert suggests that
the board build a two or three room building ,
at a small cost , unit build it in such a way
that additions may bo added to It whenever
it may bo thought necessary. This plan may
not bo adopted , but it Is sniu that the chances
for the building of the $10,000 house are not
so good as they were before \ho committee of

The Day at Mannwa.
The Mnnnwa motor trains were runnlntr
regularly yuslorduy , and although the day
was dark and chilly , many people went to the
lake for the purpose of seeing what changes
nml Improvements had been made , as much
as for the pleasure of the trip. The back
wardness of the season has enabled the work
men to push the improvements without Inter
ference from the crowds that pleasanter
weather would have driven there. The
changes already made an1 many and import
ant , and when all that are under way and
projected are completed last summer's
visitors will scarcely know the place.
Among the greatest changes is the moving
of the hotel from the old site to the lake front
and making it In fact a water front hotel ,
and enabling visitors to step from the lower
verandas into boats or steamers and iriving
loungers a delightfully eool and pleasant
place to sit whc re the dust on the windiest
day cannot lind them. Many other improve
ments of equal importance have been made ,
and the lake front Is In far better shape than
it over has been. By next SJunituy all the
work will bo llnished and several new steam
ers will bo running.
Visitors yesterday enjoyed themselves
boating , fishing and shooting.

The Council Bluffs Mercantile association
was formed several months ago , with a num
ber of prominent citizens as members. It
was oiganized soon after the Kisomou fail
ure , and the avowed Intuntlun of thu Incorporators -
porators was to form a stock company for
the purpose of starting a clothing , dry ijoods
ami furniture ) store , to take the Klsomai )
building niul to bo run in a metropolitan
fashion. It was hoped that affairs would so
slmpo themselves that the store could bo
opened at once , but for many reasons it was
thought best to put olT the beginning of
active orerations.
Mr. J. K. Kimball , who H Interested in the
scheme , stated yesterday that the negotia
tions had been completed , and It was a suru
thing that the llrm would open up in the
ICIsenun building about September 1. Mr.

that success wilt attend the new company
when it takes hold of thu business.

A mnn named Hlldrndge , who works at the
Union Pnclllc transfer , stumbled into a
IJroadway resort yesterday morning , stagger
ing unucr the weight of a largo Jag , and laid
down In the back part ot the place to sleep.
When ho awoke ho commenced to feel in his
pockets , and then shouted that ho had bacn
robbed of $15 which was In his vest pocket.
When ho entered the place ho had been ac
companied by John Maher , r.nd ho at once
had a warrant issued for Maker's arrest. The
arrest was nmdo last evenlng.bnt after closer
Investigation it was decided that although
Maker's record has not been of the best , It
would be hard to prove anything against him
and ho was allowed to depart.
Hlldredgc told a story that did not hang to
gether very well and It is feared that his
statement that he was robbed is simply a
scheme to help him account for the absence
of his month's waircs to the friends at home.
It was learned that ho had been painting
Omaha red all Saturday night and it is
thought the monov was spent there. It Is not

A Card from Mr. lloyt.
OMAHA , May 8.--Rov. William J. Harsha :
My Dear Sir : I have just beoa shown
your very honorable card of explanation. It
confirms my belief that you would not inten
tionally misrepresent us , for I felt sure that
your remarks , if correctly quoted , must have
been ttto result of a mistake.
If I n'nvo scorned rather sensitive In regard
to this matter it was because our profession
is so often attacked is so often held rcspon
siblo for the sins of those whoso only connec"
tion with It Is their own baseless claims to beef
of -that It has got a worse reputation than
It deserves and we of it who bellovo It to uo
honorable and respectable feel bound to defend -
fend its good chutacter.
There are black sheep in every fold. I rc-
grot to say that such occurrences ns you de
scribed are not impossible. But they'arc for
from being the rule.
The theatrical world Is losing Its former
Bohemian character. The amusement busi
ness has bccomo legitimately commercial. It
Involves largo investment and the careful
business management required in thn hand
ling of largo sum * of money. Such men as
A. M. Palmer , Frank Sanger , Eugene Tompkins -
kins and Henrv French have from $2.10,000 to
? 1,000,000 Invested In It , and with such largo
sums at stake they cannot afford to employ
dissipated or irresponsible people.
In my own case , could 1 with an audience
representing lust night ? I,1.M ) run the risk of
having actors In my company who by drunk
enness might be unable to give the perform
ance !
Last evening wo hud an audience of which
\vo had every reason to bo proud. Fair
women of evident refinement predominated
In the parqnette and honored us with their
nppluuso. Cnn I nfl'ord to have in my com
pany persons who by their behavior , on or
off the stage , would alienate from mo this
most dcslrablo clientele I
Simply for financial reasons , if for no
other , wo must maintain a standard of
respectability. Ami I assure you that Isn't
tlio only consideration with us.Vn have
our social ambitions , our respect for our
wives , our families and ourselves.
I am confident that the more you know of
theatrical people of tki legitimate class the
bettor you will think of us.
Bellovo me , sir , with ( ho utmost rood will
nml lespcct , very truly yours.

Union Pad Ik1 Director IMutnmi'r'H 3Ils-
HOII ! to the Piig < * t Sound Country.
Two Union Pacific special cars were
brought across the river from Council Bluffs
Saturday about S o'clock and run onto | a
sidetrack at the Tenth street depot. Their
arrival did not attract a great deal of atten
tion , but the occupants of the cars were pco-
plo of national reputation.
The party Included John F. Piummcr , gov
ernment director of the Union Pacilic , Hon.
Robert B. Porter , superintendent of the cen
sus ; f'oloncl A. U. Paine , president of the
New York & Pennsylvania company , nn 1m-
monso paper manufacturing concern , and Dr.
Charles . Sanders. The other members of
the party were Mrs. Porter , Mrs. Plummet' ,
Miss Piummcr , Miss Edith and Master How
ard Plummor.
Mr. Plummor was seen nt the depot soon
after the party arrived and readily consented
to nn interview.
" \\c have come out to this part of the
country on n trip which relates directly to
the industrial , " said he. "Of course my
trip Is also in the nature of nn inspection ,
but it relates moro intimately to the business
which brings these other gentlemen out this
way.Vo are bound for Puget sound , where
we intend making arrangements to establish
an immense industrial plant , including all
sorts of manufactories. Thcro have been
several stock companies organized to carry
this project into ellcet and It Is no visionary
scheme. These companies are backed by
millions of capital. These gentlemen and
myself represent the whole and our trip is
for the purpose of locating this immense
plant. Wo have decided to locate somewhere
on Puget Sound , but have not decided upon
the exact point. The people in that
vicinity nro very anxious to have it located
at various points and wo are going out them
fcr the purpose of deciding on that feature. "
"What manufacturing establishments will
be located there I"
"There will bo a branch of the American
steel barpo company , which Is located la
Duluth. This will bo a branch of the main
works but will bo the largest plant of the
company. There will also bo a large steel in
dustry and a largo paper manufactory , besides -
sides many other Industries which 1 do not
euro to mention at present. "
"What do you think of the recent action of
tlio Western'Craftle association C'
" 1 think it will go a long way towards
stiffening the market valno of stocks and in
creasing public confldunco in railroad securi
ties. "
"Is the Gould management of the Union
Pacilic satisfactory to the government ! "
" 1 think so. There seems to be u feeling
that the road Is in good hands with a proba
bility of making something of it. "
Mr. Piummcr then left to make arrange
ments for a carriage drive about tlio ' city say
ing that this was the llr.st trip of 'tho other
members of the party to this city and ho
wanted them to see what a beautiful and
prosperous city they had reached. Ho stated
also that the party would leave this after
noon in a special train for Denver and go
thence to San Francisco und up the coast to
Puget Sound.
At this juncture Mr , Porter appeared , ac
companied by Senator Manderson and Hon.
G. W. E. Dorsoy. Mr. Porter is u man of
medium height , dark , with black hair und
gray eyes that twinkle with merriment or
tlash tire In giving point to his positive state
ments. Ho literally bristles with ligures ; his
breath Is laden with figures and ho rolls out
statistics involving millions or billions in a
manner calculated to take one's breath
away.
"This is my lirst triptoOmahaslncotwcnty
years ago , " remarked Mr. Porter
pleasantly , "and 1 tun simply as
tounded at the changes which have

I must say 1 was not prepared for all I have
seen. "
"How Is work on the census progressing ! "
"Very rapidly. Wo have , ' ! , f > UO clerks at
work oa it nowl night and day , and the com
pendium will bo completed in time for the
next congress. This will uo tiiroo years and
a half ahead of the last census reports. Of
course the compiling of tno numerous special
data will require longer , but tlio entire work
will bo completed about seven years sooner
than ever before.
"Tho ligures of the census report show
some very interesting facts , " continued Mr.
Porter. "Tho increase in the average area
cultivated in the six principal cereals , for
instance , is very marked. During the last
decade the average acreage was 10,000,000 ! !
against 80,000,000 for the former decade , an
Increase of ( i : ! per cent. The product of these
fertile acres bus increased 511 per cent and
the average value of the crops 32 per cent.
Our wool products have increased from l.lli- ,
000,000 nounds in lbs.0 . to 240.000IOO in IS'.H ' ) ,
or nearly Fit per cent ; our nay crop , from
: i3,000,0lib tons to 47,000,000 tons , an
Increase of 30 per cent ; our vast
n'attlo Interests from value of $ ,
, a $1,14,1,000-
000 to ? . ' , .r)0r,000,000 , an increase of 73 per
cent. The average number of farm animals
per year has increased from SHi.OOO.OOO in the
decade ending in 1880 to 130,000,000 in the
ten years ending in Ib'JO , an increase of 4 , >
per cent.
Then again , tnko the coal product. The
output has increased enormously in fact , It
has exactly doubled during the past djcado.
In lbi > 0 the output was 70,000,000 tons , and in
IS'JO it was 140,000,000. The distribution of
coal mining over the continent Is almost as
interesting as the distribution of population.
In this particular the west is greatlv Inter
ested. Ten years ago the country west of the
Mississippi river dia not produce any coal ;
the census will show n production of Iti.OOO-
000 tons west of the Mississippi dining IS'JO ,
or 1,000,000 tons moro than the whole country
produced in 1 > > 70. The south also has made
remarkable strides In the direction of coal
productton , nnd last year that region pro
duced lb,000,000 tons of coal , or 3,000.000 moro
than the whole United IdUtos in Ib70. "
"What have you to say regarding the farm
ers' alliance ! "
"Tho census returns skpw that the actual
membership of the alliance is . , .V)0OIK ) , ) , but I
am of thu opinion that this number will
bo somewhat diminished by the present era
of prosperity for the farmer. The nllianco
was mainly formed to attempt to ameliorate
the condition of the fa'riner , and since the
marked increase In the1 price of all farm
products , resulting , of course , In a corresponding
spending improvement O/ / the condition of the
furmer.thero seems to be reason for buiicvlnir
that Interest in the alliance will lag somo-
what. "
"What part will the tariff question cut In
the next campaign ! " ' ' '
"Tho tariff will bo the leading question of
the campaign. The " republican party
will take thu ground that the
tariff should bo let nlono. The
general feeling Is In lavorof that stand , and
this 'monkeying' with the tariff will have to
stop , fora time at least. The present tariff
Is working well and there seems to bo no
reason for coini'lalnt. ' It is working In the
Interest of the farmer and is extending our
markets to n wonderful degree without caus
ing us to loao anything In that direction. "

'orr-rumu-rH of the .Modern Hli-yolo.
The llrst rudimentary bicycle was
mounted by Huron von Drais , n French
man livinir in Ciormany , who , early In
this ennttiry , invented n combination of
two wheels , a seat , and handles , which
ho called a "coloriforo , ' ' to aid him in
his work of ovoi seeing large estates ,
says St. Nicholas.
The oltl cuts of this odd mai'hlno ,
called , after the inventor , the "Urals-
ine , " show it to be in its general fea
tures the direct forerunner of the-hobby-
hi > r. o. "Dniislnos' ' were introduced
into England in ISIS , nnd a year later
they were soon in America , on the
streets of Now York.
In both countries they meet with great
favor , and ono historian relates that in
Now York "people rode them up find
down the Bowery , and on the parks , a
favorite plnco for speed being I ho down
grade from Chatham street to City Hall
park. " C'lumsy miu'hlnes they seem lo
our eyes two heavy wheels uonnootud
by a cross-bar to which was atttu'hcd
midway the cushioned seat for the rider.
In front of the seat was a raised cush
ion upon which , handles in hand ,
the tidor rested his forearms , gtild-
ing the machine. Ho propelled it by
pushing alternately with his feet on the
ground until the speed was sullluiont to
maintain equilibrium , when ho would
raise his feet and , in the words of a rider
today , "coast. "
The rage for these "Draisincs , " and
"podi-sti'inn curricles , " or "dandy-
horses" and "hobby-horses , " as the later
'improved" maHifnus were called , sub
sided rapidly because of the dllllcnlty of
making thorn practically useful , and because -
cause of the ridicule nlway excited by
the riders.
The curious sport of riding two wheels ,
joined , and running in the same perpoii-
ah'ular piano , therefore languished in
obscurity until after a lapse of moro
than forty years it again attracted pub
lic attention in a new form. It was in
ISIi.j that a French mechanic , I'iorro
Lallemunt , conceived the notion of
attaching foot cranks to the front wheel
of the old fashioned hobby-horse. Ho
made a machine embodying this idea ,
learned to rideit , and exhibited it at the
Paris exposition in 1M)7. The credit for
this invention is alsoelamod ! in England
for Edward Oilman , but bo the honor
duo to Frenchman or Englishman ,
hero , at all events , was the immediate
predecessor of the bicycle. It
immediately became popular in both
England and America. A great many
improvements and changes were neces
sary , of course , before the crude ma
chine of Lallcmcut the "velocipede"
of thirty years ago became the finished
bicycle of today ; but energetic business
men in England , and later in V is
country , saw its possibilities and began
the manufacture of the machines , im-
Di'ovcment has followed Improvement ,
until now there is little resemblance
loft to the old velocipede , or "bone
shaker" us it was flippantly called , and
"
it is diflleult to imagine in" what way a
modern bicycle may bo improved.

The Problem at hast Solved hy a
Cleveland Inventor.
Ci.nvni.AXn , O. , May 4. A company is or
ganizing In this city , with $1,00OJO : ) , which
vill operate one of the greatest inventions of
the age. The Inventor , Mr. Parkhurst , has
devoted several years nt leisure Intervals to
the perfection of the device which Is calcu
lated to reproduce any variable surfaces
electrically nt a distance or locally. The
llrst practical result of the Invention is the
reproduction of a photograph ut a distance
by means of electricity. The machine is n
small contrivance of brass and iron extend
ing ten inches into the air from a pedestal 10
by 1,1 Inches , connected by a single wire with
the telegraphic battery , The work is done
directly from the photographic negative ,
which must bo in relief about the thousandth
part of nn Inch. Uy means of a tracer a
perfect engraving is made in wax on mntal
at the other end of the line , from which a
print can bo taken. The photo Is entirely In
parallel straight lines running from riirht , to
left , resulting in a shaded picture. The
whole thing. Including the making of the relief -
lief negative , can bo done in three or four
hours. When the transmitter passes over a
light portion of the subject , the receiver
causes a depression or a maximum cut to bo
made upon the surface , and when the dark
portion of a subject Is umier the transmitter
the receiver will make no record. Should
the subject present a high tone , tko receiver
will interpret the same as a half tono. Iho
product of the receiver is In the shape of en
gravings from which stereotypes can bo
made lor printing1 upon ordinary printing
presses. The process is adapted to making
embossing dies automatically from a pattern
nnd to reproduce any variable surfaces elec
trically at a distance or locally.
Mr. Pnrlihur- says of the invention : "Wo
think wo have found a way to send a picture
by telegraph. In fact we did telegraph a pic
ture by it the other duy. The picture con
sists of three Iliruros that of a man and two
women -all In party costume. The group
was reproduced correctly at the other end of
the line , except one of the uumun lacked a
part of her head. The result was on the
whole much better than wo could have ex
pected. The maehlno Itself Is just a cylin
der. A sort of llttlo pivot or pointer goes
with it. You take the picture von wish to
send and wrap it around the cylinder nnd thu
point traces the lights and shadows of the
Picture , In reality the surface of the picture
is not smooth , but uneven , and It is traced at
thu other end on a sheet of golntme. From
the picture thus taken on the cylinder at the
end a photo may bo taken. The only reason
why our recent exj orimont was not wholly
successful was boc.inso our cylinder at this
und was not exactly round. It requires nn
absolutely round cylinder for such delicate
work. "
