thliiKr IN Done Very
Shortly.
Theie has been very little Ice cut so far
this season , and the Ice dealers who have
been delaying the commencement of the
work In the hope that some old fashioned
v/lntcr weather would prevail , are , beginning
to get decidedly blue. Several dealers * have
sources of supply that lisve been most favor
ably affected by the little cold weather that
has prevailed , and liiey have harvested ono
clop of twelve-Inch Ice , but those who have
to depend upon the river have not put away
a pound.
"Thero has only been one year In the las' .
twenty when the Ice crop was a fal'.uro ' , "
salil one of them vesterday , "and fl-al was
In 1877. " During that season the snly cold
weather came early In , the winter , bjfJro
the holidays , but the Ice men wilte.l just
as they did this season. From the rtrct of
January until the first ot March thsu was
not sufficient cold weather to froszo ! co over
* 1\ Inches thick , and nearly all i < t tiie Ice
houses In tlic city wcro fillrd with Ice of that
thickness. In condition ? that have prevailed
so far this year , the present wln'.er U al
most a counterpart of that year . No snow
whatever fell In the north or wjat of.s ,
and tli ? weather continued to be moist and
mild until spring opened. There cannot be
cold weather In this country without general
snows to the north of us , ind unless we
have some heavy falls within the next two
weeks the lea harvest \vlll be ruined. The
only thing that gives us any hope Is the
fadt that during the hst two years we have
had all of our cold weather In February.
Two yearn ago the mercury did not get above
zero during the first week In February , and
last winter we had a solid week of zero
temperature , between the 9th and 17th. Dur
ing this time the temperature dropped to
about , twenty below. But the conditions
that made that extreme cold possible do not
prevail now. The first week of the month
was stormy and snowy , with heavy snows In
the south and blizzards In the north. Now
we are having regular spring rains in the
south and mild and balmy weather almost
to the Canadian line. Ice machines will
bo necessary or Ice next summer will bo
more thtn ever an expensive luxury If the
giound hog's predictions are realized. "
Field Cluh'H I. nut Performance.
The second and concluding performance .of
the Council Bluffs Field club minstrels last
night was perhaps not quite up to the high
standard of their opening night , chiefly for
the reason , no doubt , that the audience was
not so largo and enthusiastic. But It was
nn unique , finlbhed performance , and was
enjoyed Immensely by thosa present. The
"box of Topseys , " whose presence Was almost
a divine Inspiration to the boys on the
previous night , was not there last night , and
this was a potent source of disappointment.
Many new local hits were made that kept the
audience convulsed. The music was much
hotter than the first ? night , and this was the
source of much satisfaction. It required a
second appearance for the audience to real
ize the fact that some of the young men pos
sessed ability that should class them among
the top notches on the mi'nstrel ' stagt ? . This
was particularly so of W. L. Douglas , the
Eagle laundry man , who , as the "Leader of
Company B , " captured the boxes and the
whole honae.
The members of the club and all others
who took part have excellent reasons for
congratulating themselves upon the brilliant
success of every feature of their show.

WANTS A IMCTUIIU OF TII12M.
County Amlllor After PlntM of Ir-
rcKiilnr I'lcccn of Property.
Ccunty Auditor Matthews Is sending out
seme notices these days thai will cause him
leu of grief later on. As the law requires
the service ho Is performing , he has no al
ternative , and Is going at the work In a
resigned frame of mind.
Pottawattamle county Is pretty badly cut
up , topographically speaking , by hills and
creeks and groves of timber. There Is a
lav on the rtatuto books that all property
must be recorded with the auditor , with n
detailed description of Its boundaries and
other formations. When a farmer sells nn
Irregular tract of land that begins at a
Bate post and ends at the west bank of the
creek on his pasture , the law of Iowa wants
something more definite and requires the
owner to file a plat of such property with
the county auditor.
This work has not been attended to for a
number of years , and several thousand prop
erty owners arc now being requested to come
In with their plats. According to the law , the
? n'rlrnmlSLbe ; ; ! Blvc.n nollccani1 lf e fa"s
the
required plat the work must
bo done by the auditor , or under his direc
tion , and tlio cost taxed to the property. It
Is these original notices that are now being
sent out.
After n Sewer Contractor.
H. A. Cole Is m resiling with an Interesting
problem to property owners and
, If he suc
ceeds In solving it satisfactorily he will be
counted among the public benefactors. Some
time ago ho let
a
contract to a sewer con-
iwnnJ ° ° 'Vrt hl rcsldcn < : c ° n Oakland
avenue with . the
public sewer. A cesspool
LprCV'ou ' < ! ly bcen useu' but when the
intfi ? " 1 ° rPa'c < 1 a"'l a house sewer
decided ! . abannii"mcnt . ot the cesspool was
upon. The contractor
was given the
'aco nc = t the
cesspool with the
the , sewer ,
Intentions
being to let the old connec
tions between the house
and the pool re
main as they were. Cole was attending
to business and paid little attention to the
work , and- when It was finished settled ths
bill and thought , no more of the matter.
I-or the last
month or more the presence
of sewer gas has boon detected In the house ,
becoming stronger each day. Plumbers
were called In to examine- the plumbing ,
out the best of them were unable to dis
cover the source of the gas. During the re
cent warm weather the gas In the house
made It almost untenable and became a
terrible menace to health. Another plumber
was called and a most careful Inspection
made. He. discovered that the earth In
the basement and the basement walls of
the house were reeking with sewage , seep
ing through the earth outside and under
the foundations. The old cesspool was
opened and found to bo filled to the surface.
This was cleaned out and the caul's of the
stoppage of the outlet Investigated. This in
vestigation revealed an astonishing situation.
The sewer pipe was dug up and it was found
that the contractor had made no attempt
to connect It with the city sower. He had
discovered that he had laid his line of pipe
about two feet below the city sewer , and
Instead of rectifying the error ho filled the
ditch , broke the pipe In the yard not far
from the house and turned the outlet Into
the bank. This was also covered up before
It 'was discovered , and the contractor has
been congratulating himself that he easily
got out of a serious engineering difficulty.
The sewage of the house since then has
been practically turned Into the cellar of
Mr. Cole's fine residence , endangering the
lives of his family.
The sewer contractor proves not to be a
licensed plumber , but only the foreman
for a responsible contractor. Ho was out
of work at the time and took the job on
his own responsibility. Attorneys were lookIng -
Ing up the matter yesterday in the hope
that they could discover some law by which
the contractor could be adequately .punished
for his crime.

James A. Patton , flow a resident of
Boston , Mass. , with his family will arrive
In this city In the next wee'k or ten days
to take the position offered him by the
First National bank as cashier. Mr. Patton
though only 38 years old , has had more
than ordinary experience In the banking busi
ness. He is a native of Indiana. His father
organized the First National bank of Thorn-
town , Ind. , in 1830 , and was its cashier for
about fifteen years , until his death. Some
time after Mr. Patton went to Garden City ,
Kan. , to take charge as cashier of the First
National bank of that city , and very suc
cessfully managed It until he was offered
a more lucrative position. He sold his stock
at a good profit , and accepted a position as
cashier of the Planters and Mechanics
National bank of Houston , Tex. , with a capital
stock of $500,000. In a few months after
that he was elected president of the same
bank. Ho was re-elected at the fourth an
nual meeting ot Its stockholders and directors
without any opposition , but the he-avy pres
sure that came on , the hard labor of carryIng -
Ing the bank through the panic time , and the
malarial condition of southern Texas , broke
hla health , and he was obliged to resign.
Ho and his wife went abroad to Europe
and the Holy land , and during his trip
there he formed the acquaintance and warm
friendship of one of Council Bluffs' citizens ,
Mr. Edmundson , and his wife. Mr. Patton ha'i
visited this city on several occasions , and
has some very valuable acquaintances here.
Ho Is a eon-ln-law of Henry Luring , manager
of the McFarland Carriage company.

The announcement that < JJler3 ] , had been
given to hurry up the coniru'ctlon of the
torpedo boat now being bunt 'it1 ' Baltimore ,
says the Boston Advertiser , has aroused
some general curiosity as to , tbc nature of
that craft. U Is very quesntiaablo whether
the Holland torpedo boat * so called from
the name of the Inventor , will ever be used
far away from the Atlantlc'coist , or possi
bly the Pacific , so that noW that the war
scare Is over It Is very unlikely that the
vessel will see any active strvJca for many
years to come. Still the fact that such a
boat Is In existence , and In the possession
of the United States government , may do
much to Inspire other nations with a whole
some respect for the defensive powers of
the United States.
It Is now six years since there appeared In
the East river a submarine boat , which for
a time attracted much wonder by her pranks ,
as she would dlvo under a boat wh'ch was
going ahead full steam. She tried this trick
once lee often , however , and was struck by
n ferry boat , her pilot only escaping with
some difficulty from drowning , while the
boat Itself was swamped. The experiments
made with this vessel , however , showed that
It was possible to navigate a boat at a fairly
rapid rate of progress under water ; and
finally the government agreed with the In
ventor for a pubmarlne torpedo boat.
H Is this vessel which Is now being con-
Dtructcd under contract for the United States
government , and which Is expected to do
much toward revolutionizing naval archi
tecture.
The American torpedo boat , when com
pleted , will net bo the only submarine tor
pedo boat In existence. A Spanish lieutenant
has already designed an electric torpedo
boat , to bo operated by storage batteries.
The French government now owns two tor
pedo boats , which are small , neither of them
being over eighteen feet long. It IB current
rumor that the Russian government owno
Boveral torpedo boats , which have been suc
cessfully operated under water. Whether
Germany and England have any Is not ab
solutely known , but If cither country pos
sesses a single submarine torpedo boat that
works satisfactorily the fact Is not generally
known to naval experts.
None of the torprdo boats In use abroad ,
however , are likely to equal this boat which
Is being built for the United States , and
which Is to have a length of eighty feet , a
maximum diameter of eleven feet , with a
displacement varying from 120 to 140 tons ,
according to the amount of surface sub
merged. The tests which will be Instituted
for the government will be severe. The boat
will bo examined before acceptance , and
must show satisfactory conditions for supplyIng -
Ing air to the crew , also for the escape of
the crew In the event of any damage to the
boat , and , still again , for the safe storage of
projectiles and ammunition. An automatic
attachment must bo constructed for main
taining the vessel at any desired depth , and
the machinery must act so promptly that
within one minute after the order has been
given to that effect the vessel , running at
full speed on the firfacc , must be brought
at least twenty feet below the surface.
Only $150,000 Is to bo paid for the boat ,
and the contractors have been required to
give a bond for $180,000 that , " the vessel
will be satisfactory. In any "pase , there
fore , the United States seems vto bs safe
from loss ; while. If this , submarine boat
fulfills expectations , she wjll , Indeed prove
a formidable menace to any l > nypdlng navy.
With such a vessel It would bq possible to
destroy an attacking fleet "with , .perfect Im
punity within the course pf half an hour.
No missile could reach this/ / mysterious har
binger of death. No defanse Could guard
oft Its unforseen blows. There would be no
safety except In flight , ana even here the
swift-going torpedo boat , wlih , her triple-
expansion engines , could follow after with
a speed that is rarely attained by the aver
age hsavlly armored fighting vessel.
'Of course , the torpedo boat obuld nut be
kept forever under water ; but as its attack
upon a'hos'tlle fleet could be finished within
an hour or two Its 'need for taking In air
during that time 'would not be great , as It
can remain under the water for slxi bours-al
a time before the lack bf ! ijlr forces , the
crow to go back to the surfo.ce.1 If i the ne-
ceralty should arise , however , the torpedo
boat could be kept under water for several
days , as it Is equipped with a float with a
hose attached , so that this float could be
quietly released at night , or In the morning ,
and at noon , and at sunset , and fresh air
could be taken Into the boat by this means.
It requires only a few minutes to absorb
air to last for another period of six hours.
Theoretically , at least , the submarine tor
pedo boat seems to answer every require
ment of the service. In practice It Is quite
possible that some defect will bo demon
strated ; but so long as American Inventive
ness exists such defects can bo satisfac
torily remedied as they appear from time
to time by the adoption of now devices. Con
sidering ; the small cost of such vessels , It is
to be hoped that should the first one prove
a success others will be speedily built , and ,
with this development In naval construc
tion , It Is not at all unlikely that the time
will come when all the battles of naval war
fare will bo fought beneath the waves.
AVAll.1I FEET.
They Arc KNKeiitlul to Health Proper
Covering for the Feet.
You will never be In gc l health and
never do your best work if your feet are
constantly cold , siya the Vocalist. Gravu
diseases of the throat and lungs are caused
by cold feet alone , and these troubles are
always aggravated by a frigid condition of
the lower extremities. If proper fcotwear
docs not glvo relief , consult a physician ,
for the chances are the system Is "run down"
and radical measures are necessary. In nine
cases out of ten , however , the foot covering
Is to blame , cither because of Us shape or
its material. Save in warm weather , and
for low-cut shoes , leather , as ordinarily pre
pared , has serious objections. ' It lacks two
prlmo qualities porosity and capacity for
absorption being In this respect too much
like rubber. No foot can remain cither com
fortable or healthy If kept In a perpetual
bath of Its own emanations and excretions.
Leather , especially that of the more porous
varieties , may be tolerated for 'the ' outside ,
but for cold weather It should always be
lined with woolen cloth , or , better , with
wool felt. In fact , for all cold climates , and
for winter wear In all climates where there
Is any winter , a footgear made from all-
wool felt approaches < the ideal , According to
modern notions , any Illness on one part of
the body may be occasioned by some Irritat
ing causa far removed from the seat of
trouble. Just how this Is cinnot bo clearly
explained , but that such connection does
sometimes exist Is beyond dispute. In the
matter under discussion , If the nerves of the
whole b : < ly are Irritated by a tight shoe , or
the extreme coldness of the extremities
makes extra demand upon thb/blood supply ,
there Is neither nerve force nor'blood ' enough
left for other functions , > olina

DES MOINES , Feb. C. ( Special. ) There
In an undercurrent of scntlmont , especially
In the lower house , In favor of making some
changes In the State Library board. This
board Is now practically under the control
ot the judges of the supreme court , and
an examination ot the catalogue discloses
the fact that of the more than G0,000 volumes
contained In the library fully one-halt of
them , Including the more costly , relate to
the legal profession. These law books ,
which cost the people a large sum of money ,
are purchased for the special benefit of tha
attorneys of the state , and embrace almost
everything on the subject that can bo pro
cured. The miscellaneous and biographical
selections have been on a liberal scale , but
the standard works on agriculture , horti
culture and kindred subjects seem to be
almost entirely wanting. There- are scarcely
100 books of this character , barring the re
ports which cost nothing and the formers
In the general assembly feel that the agri
cultural classes should be represented on
this board.
The most Important bill presented In the
general assembly today vas Introduced In
the house by Mr. Nletcrt of Linn , prescrib
ing a standard form of Insurance policy. A
summary of the bill Is here given :
Section 1. This company pball not ba
liable beyond the actual cnsh value of the
property at the time any loss or damage
occurs , and the loss or damage shall be
estimated according to such actual cn h
value with proper deductions for deprecia
tion however caused , and shall In no event
exceed what It would then cost the Insured
to repair or replace the same with material
of like kind of quality. Said ascertain
ment or estimates shall be made by the
Insured and by this company , or. If they
differ , then by appraisers , as hereinafter
provided ; and the amount of loss or damnRt *
having been thus determined , the sum for
which this company Is liable pursuant to
this policy ( Including nn award there
under ) , shall be payable sixty days after
due notice , ascertainment , estimate and sat
isfactory proof of the los have been re
ceived by this company , In accordance with
the terms of this policy. It shall be op
tional , however , with this company to tnUe
all or any part of the articles nt such ascer
tained or appraised value , and also to re
pair , replace or rebuild the property lester
or damaged with other of like kind and
quality , within a reasonable time on giv
ing notice within thirty days after proof
of loss has been submitted. In case of
total loss of property Insured if the whole
Insurance nt the time of the loss shall ex
ceed the value of the property Insured , this
company shall return to the Insured the pre
mium on the excess of Insurance pro rata ;
or If there be other Insurance thereon , suchi
prqoortlon of such excess premium ns the
amount hereby insured snail bear to the
whole amount Insured
Sec. 2. This entire policy shall be void
If the Insured has concealed or misrepre
sented In writing or otherwise , any ma
terial fact or circumstance concerning this
Insurance or the subject thereof ; or If the
Interest of the insured In the property be
not truly stated herein ; or In case of any
fraud or false swcarlim by the Insured
touching any matter relating to this In
surance or the subject thereof , either be
fore or nfter the loss.
Then follows the usual stipulations con
tained In the ordinary policy. The co-lnsur-
ince clause and pro rating privileges are
omitted.
KNOCKED OUT BELL'S BILL.
The house consumed almost the entire
moining session In debating a measure In
troduced by Mr. Bell , requiring all partici
pants In gaming , betting , dealing In lot
teries or options , keeping a club , room for
the Illegal use of Intoxicating liquors , to
give testimony , and providing that such evi
dence shall not be used against them In
any criminal proceedings. The bill was re
ported for Indefinite postponement by the
judiciary committee on the ground that It
was not only contrary to the ordinary rules
of criminal procedure , but reversed the
whole law of evidence.
Mr. McArthur of Des Molnes declared the
bill most objectionable In every sense , and
only needed some slight amendments to bring
back the days of the Inquisition.
Mr. Merrill , democrat of Clinton , pro
nounced the bill unconstitutional and un
worthy a moment's consideration.
An amendment confirming the provisions
of the bill -keeping gambling houses , was
lost. The house refused to suspend tAe
rules , and put the bill on Its passage , 43 to
54 , and the bill was Indefinitely postponed.
The bill was strongly supported by the
radical prohibition element , and only lacked
eight votes , in spite of the unanimous op
position of the judiciary committee.
The senate bill , prohibiting the manufac
ture and sale of cigarettes or cigarette paper
or wrappers , was then taken up. on motion
of Morrison of Grundy.
Mr. McArthur of Burlington read a letter
from Peregoy & Moore of Council Bluffs
protesting against the passage of such an
act , and moved that It be referred to the
committee on public health. Ho thought
this was a most important measure , and
should not be passed so hastily.
Mr. Funk said In opposition that the bill
has already been before one committee , and
for one he was opposed to the bill running
the gauntlet of every member of the house.
The house refused to send the bill to the
committee , 44 to 53 , and adjourned before
final action was taken. The bill will come
up as unfinished business -In the morning.
Bills Introduced In the house : By Gurly ,
to prevent poultry from running nt largo
In Incorporated towns and cities ; by Lander
providing for the erection of a hospital for
the care of persons afflicted with epilepsy ;
by Nlotert , prescribing a standard form of
Insurance policy ; by Lander , requiring only
a written notice as proof of loss , and making
the amount written In the policy the basis
of estimating damages.
The senate debated the resolution to pro
hibit the Introduction of bills after February
20 , but reached no conclusion. It Indefinitely
postponed the bills making February 22 a
legal holiday and requiring flags to be placed
on all school houses , the habitual criminal
act , and Rowen bill , authorizing editors to
justify by publishing a retraction In criminal
libel.
Bills Introduced In the senate were : By
Ellis , authorizing farmers' and citizens' vol
untary associations to Insure live stock ; by
Ellison , making appropriation of $ CO,44S
for the penitentiary at Anamosa ;
by Harrlman , to regulate mutual
building and loan associations ; by
Junkln , making appropriation of $102.300 for
the Institution for Feeble Minded Children
In Glenwood ; by Rowen , making appropria
tion of $30,000 for boys' department of the
