CARRY ON CONVERSATION WITH NEW YORK
Council 111 M IT * CltlzeiiH Cnjoy n Novel
In TeMliiK the
Jimt Completed.
The Long Distance Telephone company
ormally opened Its Council Uluffs office yes-
urday , and during the afternoon and even-
ng held a levee In honor of the talking ma
hlnes. The reception was held In the League
tub room In the Grand hotel from 2 until
o'clock and was attended by nearly all
f the business men of the city , many of
hem accompanied by the wives and dough-
ers. President Yost and Manager Lane
f the Nebraska Telephone company and sev-
ral other business men of Omaha wcro pres-
nt. Mayor Carson and the city ofilclals
on ml time during the afternoon to run In
ml talk to people In Chicago and the At-
antic seaboard cities. The telephone In-
trumcnts wcro ln > charge of George C.
Irooks of Chicago In the company's contract
epartmcnt ; George M. York , chief Inspector ;
Iranvlllo Howard of the contract department ,
St. Louis , and A. S. Nelson of the rlght-of-
vay department , New York. , The gentlemen
lad pieparcd ample facilities for all of those
ircscnt to test the wonderful effectiveness
of the service. Only one transmitter was
used , and from temporary central stations
arranged on a couple of long tables In the
center of the room forty receivers were
provided for the use of those who were lls-
enlng to the talking that was going on
vlth people located In cities along the lines
between here and the Atlantic ocean. Mayor
Carson and Mayor Carter Harrison of Chicago
cage enjoyed a pleasant conversation and
closed by congratulating each other upon
icing now so near together that they could
converse ns readily as If they were In either
of their private offices. Others took the In-
trument when the two mayors had concluded
and conversations wcro carried on with
'Ittsburg. Baltimore , New York , Boston and
other cities nearly 2,000 miles awaysby the
shortest railway route and still moro widely
separated by the tortuous line followed by
the wires of the long distance company ,
which mainly follow the public highways
and the country.
CALLS UP A FRIEND.
F T. True called up John C. Steltz , busl
icss manager of the Now York World , with
whom he happened to bo acquainted , and
ntroduced him to the CoJncll Bluffs crowd.
Mr. Steltz , when told that ho was talking to
Council Bluffs. 1,500 miles away at once rc-
illcd , "Well , then , this is Mr. True I am
" conversation of several
talking with. After a
eral minutes' duration , Mr. Steltz Introduced
\ friend who happened to bo In his office ,
and he at once began to question Mr. True
about business prospects In the west , In
quiring particularly about the corn crop In
Nebraska.
After long conversations had been carried
on with people living In all of the principal
astern cities , the Chicago operator Intro-
luced Gus Williams , the comedian of Chi
cago. He told funny stories. Jokes , sang
Itumorous songs and recited dialect pieces.
The forty people at the long tables never
missed a .word. The exhibition was highly
successful , and during the afternoon hundreds
of people wcro permitted to listen at the
tables or talk at the transmitter.
The transmitter used is apparently similar
to the ordinary long distance 'phones used
around town. The battery that supplies the
current Is three Lee-Fuller cells , that give
a power of six volts. But two of these cells
arc used In common Instruments. The
creat power of the Instrument Is In the
pcrfcctncss of the adjustment and the copper
wlro circuits used. The company's line be
tween this city nnd Chicago Is composed of
two No. 8 und two No. 12 wires. Induction
Is overcome by crossing the wires on the
cross arms of the poles every 1,300 feet.
This adds greatly to the actual distance that
the current Is compelled to travel between
given points , and many of the conversations
yesterday wc'e carried on over probably more
than 2,000 miles"of wire.
Last evening the telephone men enter
tained a brllllart crowd of society people ,
the majority of whom were women. A very
entertaining progiam was provided , Includ
ing vocal and Instrumental music In Chicago ,
Milwaukee , PIttsburg and New York.

The Board of County Supervisors spent
nearly all of yesterday examining and al
lowing the regular bills of the county that
have accumulated during the last quarter.
A petition for a refund of liquor license
was acted upon , and the board ordered the
midltor to draw a warrant for $50 In favor
of John Llnder or S. Newel , after ono or
the other had proved his right to the money ,
These liquor refunds have been the source
of a good deal of trouble to the board. The
mulct law requires the county license of
$ GGO to bo paid In advance , and It frequently
happens that the saloon keepers who take
out the permits to sell encounter difficulties
that make It Impossible for them to con
tinue in the business during the full term
the license calls for , and they petition the
board for a refund , In adjiutlng the cases
a great deal of time Is consumed , for tha
board must have rojeonably good proof that
the man has not been utlng his license dur
ing the period for which ho claims a re
fund.
The judges and clerks of election were
named who will look after the county elec
tion next November. The board expects to
complete the business of thu session and
adjourn today.

DES MOINES , Sept. 10. ( Special Tcle-
gramO The striking miners In this district
scored another victory today , when nearly
half of the 100 miners In the Christy Coal
company's shaft laid down their tools and
joined the strike for a uniform scale of 85
cents a ton. This leaves about seventy-five
miners working In the district and these
are all colored. The strikers marched this
afternoon to the Christy mines and were
ordered off the property of the company by
President Christy. They retired to the right
of way of the Rock Island road , which runs
within a few yards of the shafts. Mr. Christy
ordered them off the railroad track on the
ground that he holds a lease right to mine
coal under the right of way , but the men
declined to retire. Christy has threatened
to demand the protection of the sheriff and
today Adjutant General Wright of the state
mllltla said he feared a demand would bo
made on him by the sheriff for military sup
port. Thus far , however , no such request has
been made. The operators are nearly all
ready to grant the S5-cent rate , but will not
do so without the agreement of the Christy
company. Indications are that the strikers
will carry tholr point In a few days.

CHICAGO , Sept. 10. Only n few people
were gathered arounjf tuo entrance of the
rlmlnal court building this morning waiting
or a possible Invitation and a pass which
would enable them to enter the room where
hey might occasionally get a glimpse of
\dolph Luctgort , alleged wife murderer , and
) > continued attention catch a word or two
f expert testimony ns to chemical analysis
on the bones and si I mo said to bo all that
cumins oi Mrs. Luctgert. For the first time
n the history of the trial at least halt of
ho number In attendance at the morning
session were men.
Shortly before the session opened two mus
cular officers brought In the dry goods box
with Ita grcwsomc contents of bone , flesh
lime and recking canvas , by examination of
vhlch the expert witnesses for the state arc
expected to establish both the possibility nnd
.he fact of a human body having been dls-
ntcgratcd In the long wooden vat In the
basement of the sausage factory.
At 9:30 : o'clock Luetgcrt entered the court
room , closely followed by the Judge and Jury.
3y the s'do ' of the prisoner were his son ,
\rnold , William Charles , his friend , and sov-
ral expert chemists who assisted Attorney
Vincent iu cross-examining the expert wit
nesses.
Prof. Del a Fontaine , whose examination
was begun yesterday , was the flrst wit
ness placed on the stand by the
atate. The almost Inaudible tones
of the professor were barely
icard beyond the stenographers nnd hardly
a word. It Is believed , distinguished by the
tury. The witness Identified several bits of
jono which ho had received from Inspector
Shaack , asserting that the particles were
taken from the allme which was designated
as being the residue taken from the ilclce
leading front the vat. After a few minutes
of questioning , the witness positively Iden
tified the bits of bone as human , asserting
that they were portions of Joints from fin
gers and toes. This Is one of the most im
portant facts which the state expected to
establish , It produced no effect on the
equanimity of the prisoner , who , tilted back
In his chair , wearing his usual expression of
Interest betrayed no emotion na ho listened
closely to testimony.
PROF. HAINBS TESTIFIES.
Prof. Ilalncs followed. Ho said that on
three different occasions he had Immersed a
human body In a solution of crude potash
heated to a boiling uplnt and that a slightly
different result was obtained on each occa
sion. Bach time the hair , skin , leather
boots and woolen clothes were completely
disintegrated. The muscular tissues and
vital organs wore largely eaten away , the
degree to which they were affected varying
kith the different experiments. In all cases
the ribs and vertebrae of'bccics showed to
the greatest extent the effect of the action
of the alkali , becoming" partially disinte
grated and so brittle that they crumbled to
the touch. The skulT was not affected to as
great a degree as vertebrae and backbones.
the larger bones of ituo limbs being affected
but slightly and the-ijohiits of the foot and
hand least of all. The residue obtained as
the result of the expe.rjm.ent was of a pinkish
brown color and icxhaled an Intensely
strong and dlsagreeabloi odor. These facts
corcspond to the theory' ' of the destruction
of the body offered oy the state. Scrapings
from Luetgfrt's pocket knife were subjected
by him to chemical' and microscopical
analysis with tbtf resnlt that It proved to bo
blood end muscular tissue of some one of
the higher animals. '
Cross-exainhuUon failed to shake the tes
timony of the witness. > i
Osteologlst Bailey 'proved ' to be a very Im
portant witness on direct examination. With
reservations he asserted that one of the
bones found In the ashes of the street near
the factory resembled a certain 'bone ' In the
second toe of tbo left foot of a human being ,
possibly a woman. Tomorrow his testimony
will be concluded.
Attorney Vincent made a move In court
toaay which he believes to bo one of the
Important points of the defense. He esti
mates from the capacity of the vat In which
the body Is said to have been dissolved and
the amount of water said to have passed
through it that the amount of animal flesh
dissolved must have amounted to nearly 750
pounds In weight. Assistant State Attorney
McEwcn says that the large amount of water
was not admitted to the vat until after the
pinkish brown sjlmo had collected In the
sluices and that therefore the theory which
the defense Intends to advance Is built upon
false assumption.

S. A. Waller , who on Thursday , September
2 , was bound over to the district court for
pitting with Intent to wound George Con-
fare , escaped from the city Jail last Sunday
night. The police did not discover thM
Waller was gone until Tuesday , and pains
wcro taken to prevent the Information from
becoming public. Jack taonard was released
from custody a day or two ago , where he
had been kept for four days , and as soon
as ho wan out ho told sonic friends of Wal
ler's escape , but he positively refused testate
state how the trick was turned or who
assisted In the Jail delivery.
The police court records show that Wal
ler was arraigned on September 2 , and waived
a preliminary examination. His bond was
fixed at $1,000 and being unable to furnish
this ho was taken below. As soon as Waller
was bound over Judge Chrlstmnnn mauc out
the commitment papers and supposed that
hla prisoner had been taken to the county Jail
as is customary. The Judge knew nothing
about Waller being free until yesterday aft
ernoon. Chief llrenuan was called on for
Information and stated that Waller had been
taken to the county Jail Monday. Just why
ho should keep a bound-over prisoner at the
) city Jail so long before removing him he did
J not say. Jailor Shand , who Is In charge of the
county Jail , said yesterday afternoon that
Waller had never been brought up there for
safe keeping. Further than this there Is no
record of Waller ever having been received
us a prisoner at the county Jail ,
Later on Chief Urennnti explained how
Waller made his escape. He said that ho
was out of the city all day Monday and did
not discover that Waller was missing until
i ho went Into the prison Tuesday. Ho at
| I cuco made a careful search to flnd how the
delivery was effected. The chief claimed to
have found a monkey wrench In a llttlu hole
lit the south partition wall , This hole had
been made by removing a brick , the work
having been done some time ago. With this
tool the chief claims that W.allcr removed
the burrs from the Iron door which guards
the entrance to the jail. After removing
the burrs It would bo an easy matter , the
chief explained , to open the door enough to
got out. Jailor Shcehan , who was In charge
of the jail Sunday night , was away for quite
awhile during the evening , as ho had been
called upon to make two trips to the Fourth
ward to nerve warrants. Ono of the west
windows to the Jail shows evidences of hav
ing been tampered with. A portion of the
wood work around ono of the holts , which
holds the bars , had been broken and chipped
and thu bolt pulled out an Inch or more.
An attempt had been made to cover up the
damage to the window casing by plastering
a chunk of mud over the splintered portion.
As mentioned before , no explanation was
offered why Waller had been allowed to re
main In the city jail after being bound over ,
neither was any excuse given why a bound-
over prisoner was allowed the run of the
corridor Instead of being locked In a cell.
As to Waller's guilt there Is llttlo doubt ,
as he waived examination of his own ac
cord. The crime for which Waller was
jailed was committed one night a couple of
weeks ago In the notorious "White Row"
over on Thirtieth street. Trouble started
over a couple of women and In the general
tnlx-up which followed between the Barnum
boys , Waller and Confarc , the latter received
a couple of stabs.
Since the Jail has been In Its present loca
tion several prisoners have escaped. The
west windows of the prison open under the
porch which Is at the rear of the police
court room. Persons are frequently found
under this porch talking with prisoners und
passing whisky nnd tobauco In to them. To
prevent this barbed wire was run along thv
supports of the porch so close that It Is
now impossible for a man to get close to
the windows. It Is reported , however , that
articles not generally allowed In a well
regulated Jail flnd their way Into the city
prison even with the protection afforded
by the barbed wire.
It Is thought that small articles are fast
ened to the end of a stick and then thrust
through the wire fencing to the grated win
dows. The grating In the windows Is large
enough to permit the passage of a good sized
package , and It is a wonder that prisoners
icmalu there at all.
Judge Christmann thinks that heavy wlro
netting should be placed over the west windows
dews In addition to the bars. If this was
done it would prevent the passage of pro
hibited articles Into the jail.
Petition for Street
A petition is being circulated for the

TEYING OKDE ALS FOR WOMEN.
Mrs. Pinkham Tolls How Wo-
xnon May Avoid Painful
Examinations.
To a modest , sensitive , high-
strung young woman , especially
an unmarried woman , there is
no moro trying or painful ordeal
than the "examinations , " which
are now so common in hospitals
and private practice.
An examination by speculum , or
otherwise , is sometimes a positive / rc
necessity in certain stages of (
many diseases peculiar to women ,
so at least it is declared by the pro
fcssion. This would not bo the case if
patients heeded their symptoms in time.
If a young girl's blood is watxsry , her skin
pale and waxy looking , her lips colorless , bowels
torpid , digestion poor , her cars and temples throb and
she is subject to headache , begin at once to build up her
system with Lydia E. 1'inkhum'H Vegetable Compound.
Do not allow her to undergo a physical examination.
Here is n letter from a young lady who requests that
her name should not bo used , but gives her initials and
street number so that any inquiry addressed to her ,
will bo received. She says ;
" Dear Mrs. Piuklmin : It affords me great pleasure to be able to say a few
words in regard to the merits of your Vegetable Compound. I was tempted
to try it after seeing the effects of it upon my mother , nnd now I feel like a
new person. ' I am a stenographer and was troubled with fulling of the womb
and female weakness in general. I continued to work until I was so weak I
could no longer walk , nnd the last dny I was forced to stop nnd rest.
" I was then so ill that I was compelled to stay in bed. and bo nervous
that I could not hold anything in my hands. The least noise or surprise
would cause my heart to bent HO loudly , and I would become so weak that I
could hardly stand. I suffered for almost a year. It is different now. I
can go about my work with pleasure , while before , work was a drudge.
'Trusting that my words of praise may help borne other afllicted person ,
nnd bo of benefit to womankind in general , I remain , Youra iu gratitude ,
