A Season of Depressing Dulluou.
It looked llko old times In police court
yesterday morning with the benches
Insldo the railing filled with pris
oners and the outsldo benches crowded
with curious people who , having noth
ing else to do , dropped in to sco the fun.
As a rule Monday mornings la pollen court
are busy times , but for several woolcs noth
ing special turned up and the grist was very
light.
A half dozen drunks came first and were
lot oft with a small fine ; tben came the
vagrants and thcro was some fun. As each
"would not work" appeared before his
honor ho was given n street sentence or al
lowed to depart , provided he loft the city nt
onco. 'Frank ' Allen , an old timer , drew a
tjilrty-day ticket , nnd his chum , Will Davis ,
got thirty-flvo days in jail. Both man are
chronic vagrants and prefer to spend their
tlmo imprison to getting out and hustling for
something to cat.
. Two little negro schoolboys were locked
up for shooting firecrackers before the
Fourth. They pleaded pretty hard , and the
kind-hearted Judge told thorn to go. The
boys didn't even stop to thank his honor ,
but made a short cut through the crowd for
the nearest door.
No Monday morning session is complete
without Pat Kearney , and after business had
slacked up a llttlo the Judge uskod Sergeant
Ormsby where his old standby was. "Oh ,
ho is hero , " said the sergeant , and up trotted
Pat. "It's $10 nnd costs , " quietly remarked
the Judge as Pat moaiod up. "But I am
going to stop drinking , your honor , and go to
work. " The court murmured something
about that being n chestnut and then said :
' I will flno you $23 and costs and suspend 1
the sentence , but if you over como hero
again I will enforce It. " Patrick thanked
the court kindly and went forth a free man.
Charley Hare and Frank Ilorton , both
tough looking , tried to explain why
they were rubber-soled shoos and hung
around the residence portion of the city.
They could not do U. and so both will clean
streets , gutters and alloys for ton days.
By the tlmo Frank Johnson came to the
front the Judge was looking cross and
, wanted to know why the prisoner carried a
lot of skeleton keys and a crooked button
hook. Sergeant Whalcn was called and said
that Johnson had boon arrested late Satur
day night by Ofllcor Ellis , and whllo on the
way to the Jail had tried to throw away the
keys and hooks. "Whero did you work
last , " asked the Judgo. "I was a waiter in
Denver , " replied the prisoner. "I guess , "
said his honor , ' 'that several people arc
waiting for these ko.vs ; forty-five days on
the streets. "

SUMMER HEAT IN NEW MEXICO
Views of a Visitor Who Was Not Favorably
Impressed with the Climate.
SCORCHING BREATH OF A BALL OF FIRE
Storr of n Now Mexican Soldier Who Died
Ho fcixmo Hack lor Jill lllnnkoti
After n Trip to 1'ur-
"Ilott" remarked W. It Morotz , a well
known Montana mining man at thd Mtllard
yesterday , "yes , It Is , Just a little. But
you ought to get down Into Now Mexico
about now , ns 1'vo been.
"You needn't say I said so , " ho added ,
"because , If you -do , they'll not do a thing
bat kill mo whenever I happen to'go back.
But , the fact is , If the Infernal regions arc
hot , Arizona and Now Mexico , just now , are
well , they're ' hotter.
"It begins to get hot bcforo you strlko the
castnrn Colorado line , and after you got into
Now Mexico It gota worse , and by the time
you got to ttlncon , N. M. , you begin to con
clude that Dante's Inferno was not all a
dream.
"After leaving RIncon the appearance of
the country Is quite deceiving. You think ,
maybe , It Is hades , but It isn't. It is only
the beginning of a stretch of territory in
Now Ivloxieo and Arizona that is so hot and
dry that the Inhabitants ilnd It dtnioult to
toll the truth. There was a soldier once
( probably moro than once ) stationed
at a post in southern Arizona ,
who died and was duly buried. About three
days after his death , however , ho aston
ished his comrades by appearing in the
barracks ono hot afternoon , shivering and
with teeth chattering as if ho had the ague ,
" 'Hullo , Smith I'said a sergeant , 'whore1 vo
you boonl'
" 'B-b-b-bocn In sheol an11 c-c-como b-baclt
for my b-b-olanketsl'
"Tho Inhabitants of the country toll this
as n Joke , but , somehow , It strikes the unae-
climated person too forcibly as having a
good deal of possible truth In It.
"Seriously , however , there are worse cli
mates than tills , barring the dryness. If n
few trees and a bit of grass could besprinkled
sprinkled about the country would bo quite
bearable. Despite the intense heat of tno
sun ouo can always keen moderately cool in
doors , and the nights arc Invariably cool and
refreshing. But the out of doors Dart of
life down hero Is sad and gives ono that
tired feeling , if ono hasn't it already. You
nan see Its effect on the Inhabitants , the ani
mals , and oven the scenery.
"Tho flirtatious and giddy prairlodogisloss
agile than his northern brothers , the hollow-
eyed and musical coyote , prlma donna of the
plains , scorns to assume aught but a
haughty , dignified gait and subdued vocal-
isms.
"And then , the scenery , as they nro
pleased to call It- down there. A lit
tle sand and rock , and a few
cacti and Spanish bayonets look well ,
indeed , Isolated in the conservatory or a
pork prince or a soap magnate ; but when
you see nothing but miles and miles of them ,
they have a depressing effect , especially If
you own the land aud your cattle are starv
ing to death on it. Tno unostentatious but
insinuating cactus and the stately and sapo
naceous Spanish bayonet ( In the vernacular ,
"soap-weed" ) look first-rate , in perspective
say , on the pages of a geography. 2,000 miles
from there but In that corner they
don't attract much attention , unless ouo Is
so unfortunate as to meet them in the dark.
The cacti are covered with thorns , same as
geography cacti ( known in Now Mexico as
cactuses ) , but they don't stick into ono so
very , very far , But the 'soap-weed , ' ( with
Its tail , straight polo , decorated at the top
with a cluster of largo blossoms very like
lilies of the valley ) Is different. 1 know , for
I've tried It. Ono of those long spoors would
jab throui'h a 2x2 scantling , and is long
enough to fllo a millionaire philanthropist's
annual grist of touching appeals on.
Practical Identity.
"The cacti , too , have blossoms , but they
are rather on the loud poppy style of beauty.
Cacti grow in curious shapes , the most uir-
comfortable of which Is the recumbent shape.
The plant in this shape Is not unlike a Hat
stone , when scon in the gathering gloom. It
is easy , however , to ascertain whether the
object is a flat stone or a cactus , by simply
, sitting on It.
"But , as I was saying , the scenery down
there Is Just line the rest of nature. It
doesn't have the sportive Kaunas cyclone to
shift It around twice in a while or so , but
Just stays put and doesn't seem to care ,
either. Ennui doesn't seem to have gotten
into that market. Everybody seems satis-
fled that Is , everybody who Is Indigenous.
It is said that an enterprising easterner
once shipped in quito a lot ol
ennui , hoping to got the natives to
indulge in it , got dissatisfied and
cl a move on , but for some reason the plan
§ idn't work. I reckon everybody wondered
what ho should want to bo discontented for
it's their way , and a go'od way , too , maybe ij
tending to oupopsy and a green old ago.
"Whon I went down there wo had dlnnei

down from nowhere nnd lit on the droarj
desert , 10 that people might got ol )

geously-palnted and solf-nssortlvo lltlle
town , and every man who lives In Deminf
seems to want you to know it , which is t
good thing for the town. All the same , . '

I'riinklln'R Address.
Almost within the shadow of the homo
where she wns roared , nnd of the stately
temple of learning whence she stepped forth
seven years ago a bright girl graduate just
budding Into womanhood , the friends Of Ncl-
llo Elguttcr's too short but happy lifetime
assembled yesterday afternoon to pay the
last tributes to the memory of n loved ono
gone boforo. ,
'Tho services were held nt the residence of
the deceased nt Twentieth nnd St. Mary's
avcnuo. School mntos of her girlhood , later
friends of her mature womanhood , and
friends of the family whoso acqualntnnco
dated back to the days when friendship
meant moro than nn empty word , gathered
there in silent sympathy to shed sorrow's
tears.
In the front parlor of the enshrouded
homo rested the casket wherein lay the re-
malim beneath a wreath of llownrs. At the
head stood a largo column of whltorosos and
carnations , surmounted bv a whlto dove
with outstretched pinions , clasping a tiny
whlto rosebud on a fragile stem , whllo
mantels and fireplaces were almost hidden
from sight behind mounds nnd pillows of
llornl gonis nnd unbunchbd flowers , mutely
eloquent expressions of a general nnd sin
cere griof.
It was Impossible for all to find room
within the entrance , and many stood
patiently without until the short services at ,
the homo were concluded. Hov. Dr. Frank-
Hn officiated , reading the Psalm XC , after
which a short , but fervent and tender
prayer was offered1. To the many sorrowing
ones ho extended sympathy and consolation
In thcso words :
' Mourning friends , a sad and sacred duty
has called U3 hero together this afternoon.
Wo have assembled In this house of mourn
ing to pay the last sad tribute of
respect nnd love to the memory
of ono who was dear to many hearts.
TThls young wife nnd mother Just enter
ing into the bloom of noblest womanhood ,
called from these she loved and these who
loved her , to that mysterious realm where
tlmo lapses Into eternity nnd where death
and separation are unknown. It la always
sad , my friends , to stand at the coffin of u
dear ono , or nt the open pnivo to bid the hist
farewell to ono wo love , but it is doubly sad
to do o when the ono called homo had
scarcely yet begun to live , nnd for whom the
sweets of life wcro all In storo. And there
fore , friends who stand about this coffin that
enshrines the mortal remains of Mrs. Nollto
Elguttcr , I mourn nnd grluvo with you. for I
know how deep must bu tllo wound that has
been inflicted on you.- But deep as is the
wound ; hard to bear anils the blow , is there
no balm to heal youn wounded hearts ! Is
there no solace to dryrrthoi , tears that will
not be restrained ? We know that in an hour
like this reason is cold and philosophy is
cheerless to the broken hrart ; wo know that
words full with the dul | | tUud of emptiness
upon the spirit filled wtiwgrlof , and religion
itself scarce penetrates -tho dark cloak of
sadness that encircles ( you. r But when the
first most bitter hour is jpast , wo feel that
our words will como back to you with force
redoubled to comfort and to solace you , and
therefore , in the very /aco of grief , wo
speak. Death , it scorns , Las robbed you of
the fairest gum in all [ the jewel casket of
your life ; of a daughtqr , faithful and affec
tionate ; a wife , sympathetic , loving , tender
hearted and forgiving born ins it .seems to
dlo , oven as the flower that bloom-
oth in the morning is dead and
faded with the eveninglight. . But she
who lies before us is not doad. She lives In
that llfo which to bring into existence she
has sacrificed her own. She has mot death
nt the altar of love , at tlio altar of duty , at
the altar of noblest motherhood. In the
child that she has borne , must bo your con
solation , thou husband so bereaved. Lot it
become the link that shall bind you in un
dying love to the memory of her whom today
wo bid to rest , nnd in that child must bo
your solace , too , you mourning parents ,
brothers , sisters , for in that child your dear
one lives , and with God's blessing shall live
on to honorable womanhood , Thank God
that In the very hour ho has aflllctod you ho
has granted balm unto your bleeding
hearts. Thank Him that the ono you
mourn wn ? such a nobio , girl , such n true ,
woman , such a faithful and self sacrificing
wife and daughter , and pray to Him for
courage to bear the blow that Ho has in
flicted , for Ho is the God that smltoth but
blndoth up again. Of her , for whom the
hour of parting has arrived , wo shall say
naught. Her many noulo qualities , her
kindliness of spirit , her loveliness of disposi
tion , nor true womanly modesty , nil apeak
moro eloquently than could I or any other
nuvn. To her returning soul , wuro ns It came
from the hands of its Makerwo say ono last ,
ono sad farewell , nnd in the words of the
sago of old , 'Give her of Uio fruits of her
own hands , nnd let her own works pralso In
the gates. ' Amen. " - .

GOVERNOR GRANT ON SILVER
Situation is Not so.Entiroly Hopeless as Has
Been Qivon Oat.
VIEWS OF THE PRESIDENT OF THE SMELTER
Will Not Itednco Forces for n Month Under
Any ClrcumnUnccn irrect : of India' *
Action on the Sllvtr Question
Itenionetliatlon Ccrtnln.
'
Ex-Governor J. B. Grant of Colorado ,
president of the gro.U company that oper
ates the smelling and refining works ooth In
this city and Denver , came In from his homo
In the latter city Sunday evening for a con
ference with his business associates relative
to the silver situation.
To a representative of Tun Bsn , who found
him at the MJHard yesterday morning , Mr.
Grant said tnat the compan / would not dis
charge a man for the purpose of re
ducing forces cither In this city or
Denver for the next month nt
least , oven if affairs should take the
most unfavorable turn , as there was enough
ere in sight to keen both plant's in full oper
ation lor thirty days without buying an
other pound. No moro silver ere will bo
purchased until the situation resolves Itself
into something more ilolltilto than It is nt
present , though other ores will Ilnd n ready
market ns before. Mr. Grant admitted that
at present things looked dark for the mining
interests itud said that everything pointed
to the speedy repeal of the Sherman law.
Ho did not know what would bo done by
western Interests to prevent It , except by
the senators and representatives of the
mining states , though there had been a
little talk of big meetings to present peti
tions and protests.
When asked to express his views as to the
best and surest way of obtaining relief , ho
replied : "My plan would bo free coinage ,
limited to tno American product , In a ratio
of twenty or twenty-two and a half to ono.
It has been about twenty-five for thn past six
months , and that has been a llttlo too high.
There will bo no Increase In the production
at SO cents , while at CO cents there would bo
n tremendous fulling off. A great many of
the mines would not pay to work at that
llguro. I cxpoct to see a better price for lead
than for some time past , as there has been a
great deal of what might bo called incidental
lead produced from mixed ores that wore
worked for silver. The load in such cases
would bo produced even if the price was as
low ns a quarter of a cent a pound , but now
that the smelting of such ores will bo
stopped , there will bo a fulling off of this in-
cMcntul load product and a consequent
stiffening of price. The stoppage of free
coinage by India and the attendant dropping
out of the very bottom of the silver market
was a paralyzer to the silver men.
"India has been for years the great sink
hole into which both gold and silver have
poured , never to bo seen or heard of again ,
aud it seems to mo that this fact will sooner
or later result In the remonotization of silver.
That country will continue to raise grain ,
cotton , tea and opium , and the excess of its
exports over its imports will have to bo
represented In something or other that will
flow in there. Up to this time it has been
gold and silver , to the extent of about § 15- ,
000,000 of gold arid S4r > ,000,000 of silver every
year. The people take it and hoard it
practically bury it , and there it strays. Now ,
If they got the idea that silver is no longer
worth anything , they are going to take gold
and refuse silver , and the gold would bo
hoarded the same way , as they do not need
it to use. It would not take long to make
gold a very scarce article in London , Paris
and Berlin.
"It seems to mo that silver must ovontu-

Lho last six years thnt the silver production
has reached $100,000,000. Ln t year It was
MM,000IKW and the year before $141,000,000.
This IncrortJO was caused oy tho. bl produc
tion In Australia , and the Increased produc
tion In Mexico , duo to the opening ui < of novr
railroad * and the extension of old onos.
Nevada has dwindled to practically nothing ,
and Utah Is not Increasing. Idaho Is decreasing -
creasing , and Montana and Colorado are fur
nishing the bulk Of the production , Wo use

every year , whllo of last voar's gold iirodtn-
tlon of $30,000,000 , ? inoooooo was u d In the
arts. Deducting the amount of silver used
In Iho arts the Sherman law would take
care of the American tiroduct very nicely ,
nnd by putting tip the bars against foreign
sliver ami chancing the ratio as bcforo
stated. I think the iiuostlon would bo very
satisfactorily solved.
"Nebraska is all rteht. Good crops and
hogs will take care of her , If the farmers
can got anything for them , nnd they ought

I novcr saw the crops looking hotter at this

tween hero and the state lino. It struck mo
all the way along tlmt the fields were re
markably clean nnd frro from woods , and
that rain at the proper tlmo wns all that
was necessary to Insure an enormous crop. I
noticed by yesterday's papers that the hog
receipts at South Omaha were Inrccr than
at Chicago , so thnt ns far as rival packing
centers nro concerned Nebraska does not
seem to bo getting any the worst of it.
"No , we nro not contemplating any chnntjo

thirty , days from now will onnblo us to do-
cldo what stops to take after that tlmo , for

bridge company is not prepared to permit of
such nn innovation , and thu officers fulled to
appear nt the mooting in the council cham
ber yesterday afternoon to make known
their intentions.
The gathering in the council chamber re
sulted in nothing. It proved a tedious wait
and loss of tlmo. Council Bluffs wns repre
sented by Mayor Lawrence , " City Attorney
Hnzluton , nnd Aldermen Smith and Junnlugs
and Spencer Smith. They wcro promptly on

waited for ever an hour for others to put in

Friday.of this week.
The failure of the bridge company officials
to appear aiidnho absence of A. T. Hector ,
