NEWS FROM COUNCIL BLUFFS
Botnrn of Madame Pollard to Pmh Her Libel
Bait Against the World-Herald.
TWENTY THOUSAND DOLLARS ASKED
Thai Sam Wanted m Halm for Her Wounded
, llecanie of the Publication
Madarao Nathalie Pollard has returned to
Council fluffs. This statement will bo read
with n great deal of interest by the many
people who'bocamo acquainted with her In
n way a year or two ago through the - coupling
ling of her name with that of a young man
named A. 2. Bowen , who traveled with her
as business manager. Mrs. Pollard has been
engaged in her business of lecturing over
since leaving Council Bluffs nnd her success
In getting her name before the public and
keeping it there has boon hardly less marked
than while she was lu thatclty. Shoachloved
a national reputation by having Introduced
Into congress n bill providing for
abolishing all divorces In the
District of Columbia. The member of con
gress who Introduced it would not father It ,
but disclaimed any interest in Its passage.
When It passes congress nnd the senate
and becomes n law Its success will bo owing
to the untiring efforts of Mrs. 'Pollard and
her powers of fascinating the men who stand
nt the wheel of the national government.
Mrs. Pollard states that her bill Is bound to
become a law , nnd , as an Indication that
others.think ns she does , she points to an
overwhelming crop of divorce suits insti
tuted in the District of Columbia since her
bill was introduced , the men with antl-
matrimonial instincts evidently thinking it a
wise plan to lay In a ( rood supply of divorces
in view of the Impending famine.
luhnrltvil it Vast Sum of Money.
Since leaving Council Bluffs Mrs. Pollard
has fallen heir to an almost fabulous amount
of money through the sad death of a brother.
Hcrobjcct In returning now is to look after
the welfare of a 0,0'JO damage suit which
she commenced In the United States court In
the Bluffs about a year go against the World
Publishing company of Omaha , by reason of
certain damaging statements that appeared
In ono of the Issues of the World-Herald.
She says the attorneys whom she
outraged when the suit. was
started have been neglecting their
business and she has come back to admin
ister n dose of forked stick to thorn , nnd
arouse their interest by showing them that
she still has money. When she leaves
Monday she will go directly to Chicago ,
whcro she ban accepted an invitation to de
liver a speech on the subject , "Foot Free in
God's Country , " on the l th , before ono of
the sessions of the woman's congress. On
August 5 she will deliver another lecture at
the same place on "Bubbles. "

Unialm Sewer U Emptying Its Filth Into
Water Used for Drinking Purposes ,
A matter has just come to light which do-
servcn the immediate attention ot the city
council of Council Bluffs. A now sewer has
recently been built in Omaha , intended to
drain n largo portion of the northern part of
the city. The district it covers is 4,0-KI acres
I in size , according to the plans drawn by City
Engineer Hosowuter of Omaha , and the
main outlet is nt Florence , a few miles north
of the city. This throws the filth from the
entire district into the river at a point above
the place where Council Bluffs gets her sup
ply of drinking water.
This state of affairs is ono that should not
be allowed to exist a day longer than Is nec
essary. The attention of City Physician
Macrae has been called to the matter and ho
intends to glvo it his Immediate attention.
Ho states that from what ho has hoard ho
thinks the outlet of the Omaha sewer la so
far nbnvo the source of the water supply
that no danger need bo apprehended. The
sewer Is not used as yet to any great extent ,
but ns North Omaha builds up it will go on
.pouring out n constantly Increasing amount
of filth into the stream and pollute the
water until it becomes a breeding plaoo for
disease. By requiring the water works
company to move its pumping station above
Florence this trouble can bo done away
with. It is probable that some action will
bo taken as soon as the city physician has
time iu which to make n report.

POPULISTS ON WHEELS. .
Going to Chicago In Shanty Wagon nnd
rrc.icliliifj by the Wny.
In nbout thirty days there will arrive
at the World's fair a delegation of popu
lists from Kansas , whoso traveling and
camp equipment will challenge the attention
tontion of everybody. It is a novel plan
devised by four Jackson county farmers
to take their families to the World's fair
and have a summer's outing. The
procession started from the vil
lage of Magotta. When the people
along the route see the six stormproof ,
ono-storv houses moving along on wheels
they will guess the eohorao is ono of
Kansas or Oklahoma design.
On the running gour of six furra
wagons have boon constructed light box
shanties , each provided with sleeping
and living apartments. The light boards
which cover the houses are waterproof ,
and the contrivance looks like a very
low one-story Kansas dugout , Inside
five of the wagons are beds , chairs ,
tables , provisions , and every conven
ience for travel. The sixth wagon is
the dining car , nnd in the rear end is a
gasoline Rtove for cooking purposes.
Farmer John Stitson , who Inaugurated
this plan , Bald :
"There are twenty in our party four
families. It was the cheapest way to
take the women and children along , und
asldo from the mutter of soelhg the fair
wo will have lots of fun along the road.
Wo have u quartet of line sinners and a
nnrabor of musical instruments , und wo
propose to stop nights nnd hold alliance
revivals. Uncle Billy Sunders can talk
populist doctrines and ho will lecture on
the late war in Kansas , so you BCO wo
propose to spread the gospel along the
route through Missouri nnd Illinois
oing and give Iowa and Nebraska a
R ittlo touch of Kansas calamity on the
way back. "
The trip ns outlined will take in many
email towns , it being the intention to
keep away from the largo cities. The
lournoy will occupy about thirty days.
The party will orobs the Missouri river
at Loavenworth und will muke Missouri
towns as follows : Plutte City , Bmlth-
ville , Lawson , Bogard , College Mound ,
Monroe City and Hannibal , where they
cross the JlissiBsippl river. Through
Illinois the route wll | take in Payson ,

[ FROM TnSTEtlDXV's'SBOOXD
BEHUX , July U. A. vote was taken today
on the amendment to the army bill offered
yesterday , providing thnt the two years ser
vice system bo fixed legally. The amendment
was defeated by 109 majority.
During the debate ou article 1 of Section 2
of the bill , Count Herbert Bismarck made a
speech that aroused general interest. Ho
declared that ho was satisfied with the bill
though ho was opposed to the two years ser
vice system because the socialists , through
the short term of service , might corrupt the
urmy. There would not bo time In two years
to expel the socialist , poison from these re-
crults. The third year of service vfould servo
as a reformatory school.
This remark caused n great unroar. When
order was restored , Ho IT von KardofC of the
Holchspitrtel appealed to the honso not to
allow such a scandalous violation of the
right of debate.
Count Herbert , proceeding , explained that
ho voted tor ; the bill because Vho government
had not fixed two years as the permanent
term of service.
Chancellor von Caprivl followed Count
Herbert. Count Hcroort frequently Inter
rupted the chancellor , who at last appealed
to Herr von Lovctro w. The latter called
Count Herbert to order.
The chancellor then proceeded , and at the
conclusion of his remarks Mcrr Bebol , one of
thcleaacrs of the social democrats , said
that In listening to Count Herbert Bismarck
the house had heard the father
speaking through his sou. The gro.it
father hud been unable to kill
social democracy , and still less was the son
nblo to do so. With regard to
socialism permeating the army in the
two years system , ho could assure
the government the permeation had
already been effected , nnd , in tones of
triumph , ho concluded : "Wo exist. You
will not be able to get rid of us except by
killing us. "
Herr Bebel's remarks caused a most
decided sensation.
Later , in the discussion of article ii ,
Cornt Herbert BIsmark planted hlrasolf
before the chancellor in reference to article
i of the bill. This gave rlso to another
uproar.
Hcrr Von. LoTotzow reminded'Count Her
bert that the article on which he wishca to
comment had been passed by the house.
Count Herbert returned to his seat amid
a storm of howls from the social democrats
and Klchtorlst members.
Toward the close of tbo discussion Bis
marck a ] > elegized to Count von Caprlvi for
his interruption. The chancellor bowed
his acceptance of the apology.
rAI SIANs IACKSIAII.ERS.
They Illecd M. " llaio * Oat of Largo Sums
, July 14. A" great sensation was
caused in literary Circles today by the expose
of a gang of blackmailers , who , for a long
time bled M. Charles Buloz , editor of the
Review dcs Deux &tor&los , of ivn immense
sum of money , said by'somo to the amount
of 10,250,000 francs The blackmailers are
said to be men of , 'th'p best Parisian families ,
who moved and still'movo In good society.
These men badj fof * their accomplices dis
solute women who had carried , on liasious
with M. Buloz. These , women imparted to
the men all the s cere is of tbolr relations
with M. fiuloi and1stich other matters con
cerning him as catna to them. .Then the
blackmailers would /write to M. Buloz
threatening to oxjioso'Uim to his family and
acquaintances If he'dffl hot pay to them cer
tain sums of mone J' ' ; ' "v. ' '
M. Buloz , it' appears , "was fearful lost
knowledge of his wrongdoing should come to
the cars of his wife ; and he paid the money
demanded of him. Borne time ago M. Buloz
look a vacation. Hewlett tbo city and has
not since been seen. , It is feared by some
that part of the money ho paid out * belonged
to the Revue des Deux Mondcs. During the
first part of his absence he wrote frequently
to his paper and to his wife , but no one
knows where ho now is. The discovery
that ho had been blackmailed was due to
the fact that a note made by M. Buloz for a
largo sum of money fell into the hands of
Mmo. Buloz , who at once started an investi
gation that resulted in an expose of the
whole scheme.
Mmo. Buloz , who was married to M. Buloz
in 18T8. is the daughter ef Prof. Richol , a
member of the Academy of Science. She
has entered an application for a divorce. It
is reported that among the women implicated
in the affair are three who contributed arti
cles to the Revue des Deux Monties. The
shareholders of the paper will hold a meet
ing tomorrow. Mme. Buloz will probably bo
made editor of the periodical.
The exposure' of M. Buloz's derelictions
has been a great'shook to his friends , who
always believed that his character was
above suspicion. Further development * are
awaited with much interest.
IT WAS A.1 MISTAKE.

LONDOS , July 14. A special from Bangkok ,
Slam , says twenty .Siamese were killed and
fourteen wounded yesterday during an ex

"My rrcatost fear wns that I would become

far tirolvo years and Bturtca from coldi L tool ;
A WONDEBFUL WBSTEaW LAKE.
thnt Matte It the Homo oTa Mon
strous Sen Serpent.
Long- before mankind ever heard of
this little earth and started its conquest
from sea monsters , Kays the TAtcoma
Lodger , the area tht now ia dis
tinguished by the name of Palouso coun
try had been subjected to violent up
heavals and radical changes iu
topography. A great inland sea rested
hero for many centuries and tbo chemi
cal action of the water onriehed the soil
simultaneously with leveling the sedi
ment in the form of a vast plain. In
ternal convulsions , whether from
volcanic action or from shrinkage -
ago of the planet consequent upon , the
cooling process then going on perhaps
botn combined rafcied the submerged
plain hig-b. and dry , with R steep decline
to the westward. The rushing ; flood cut
the land into ridges nnd ravines , high
bluffs and lonely rocks being- scattered
promiscuously In living evidence of the
revolution. The surface thus presents a
broken and picturesque scene. Chief
among the wonderful products of those
prehistoric convulsions and deluges is a
canon ever in the northwestern part of *
Whitman county containing Book lake ,
a shoot of water twelve mlles long by
about 100 rods wide , bordered by clius )
ascending perpendicularly to helghta of
1,700 , to ,600 , foot.
The canon of Rock lake runs cast to
west. It is a deep hole in a plateau of
solid rock and the bottom never has
been sounded by man. The eastward
extremity falls abruptly from the bed of
a siuail crook , down and down 600 feet ,
ever a cascade , down another plunge of
COO feet , and off finally ever a second
cascade 300 foot to the bottom. Above
the land rolls away in small heaps of
stone and barren slopes for flvo mlles on
either side. Down nt the botWn Is a
valley , ono by three miles in extent , and
covered with the prettiest coat of tropi
cal foliage to bo found anywhere. The
cliraato in this declivity la as tropical and
delightful us that which gives Hawaiian
envied fame all the world over. The
temperature seldom falls below 60 °
Fahrenheit and rarely goes abovoDO0.
The cold of winter is ( seemingly uuublo
to reach the level of the valley , owing
to the internal warmth naturally be
longing to a hole so deep. The heat of
summer is tempered by the cooling in
fluences of the lake adjoining. The
west end of this little garden of Eden
jumps abruptly ever a precipice 100 feet
into Rock lake and the western ona of
the luke , twelve miles further on , finds
an outlet through a narrow passageway
between hills sloping sharply and soon
breaking into dismembered pyramids of
basalt rock.
The surfuco of RoclPlako IB not much
above sou level ant ) the unfuthomublu
depth-of the water , clear us crystal , con
ncctcd with weird surroundings affords
a theme for philosophic ! meditation not
surpassed by the Bubllino : riiggodnoas of
the Alps.
An Indlnn legend ol this romnrkublo
lake makes it tbo homo of n nioiiHtrous
sen Borpont. The rorananta of the rod
tribes which Ufeed to frequent its shores
toll their white neighbors thnt no
Indian can venture into the wntor
oltliQr for a buth or a pleasure
trip in n canoe without being swal
lowed whole by the hideous reptile ,
and to this day the aborigines' look upon
Rock lake with the same npprohension
that an old-time orthodox ponders ever
the terrors of purgatory. Their legend
declares that un entire trlbo wan lashed
to destruction and caton not many cen
turies ago , all to satisfy the greed of
this very monster. At another time ,
during tne outbreaks quelled by Colonel
Stoptoe , in 1858 , n band of noble red
men , in their efforts to escape the vigi
lance of Unalo Sara's blue coats , tried to
conceal themselves above the lake in the
little paradise , but were overtaken by
the great fisli , the legend UVOWB , und
sent to eternity.
