A now "ell has been sunk at the powcrl
hoiMa to produce water for the boilers and

celvo the now machinery. The additions will
bo built on each side of the main building
and In the center , giving the entire build

t-mokestack will bo erected oa the south
sldo of the building , the dimensions being
five feet In diameter on the taslde and 160
feet In height.
Under the now charter , every other Omaha
train will run around the Pierce street loup
after March 1 , and a number of colored
llghlj and Illuminated signs have been pur

end of thine trains , so they can be easily
designated as the loup trains The plgns
are so arranged that they revolve and can
ho made to answer for eny line. The slgna

E. O. French , president of the Southwest
ern Iowa Teachers' association , has Issued
a circular announcing the postponing of the
annual meeting of the association from
March 31 to some date yet to be ttxcd next
fall. The meetings have always been held
hero about April 1 and continue- for three
days and the usual dates were agreed upon
at the October meeting of the association
and again confirmed and ordered published
at the last meeting held In December. Pres
ident French uys that aflcr engaging
speakers , and while the details of the pro
gram were still under consideration , It was
learned that the executive committee , of the
Southeastern Iowa Teachers' association had
arranged , without knowledge of this pub
lication , to select the same dates for Its
meeting and had completed the program.
Superintendents Barrett and Sabln , Presi
dent Scerley and others had accepted places
upon both programs end It was urged that
the southwest meeting be postponed , the
state superintendent being especially de
sirous of calling together the county super
intendents at this meeting. It was found
that such postponement would bring this
meeting within ono or two weeks of the
meeting of the Northwestern Iowa Teachers'
association at Sioux City and would also oc
cur while most of the schools were to bo In
session.
In view of these facts , together with the
Important fact of the Transmlsslsslppl Edu
cational congress In Omaha next June , the
exocutlvo committee , after much corre
spondence with school men In this section
of tbo state , wherein Is found a very general -
oral sentiment favorable to such change , has
decided to postpone the meeting of the
Southwestern Iowa Teachera' association un
til next fall.
It Is expected that the program will then
ao carried out as far as arranged1 at present
and all persons who have accepted appoint
ments are requested to consider them per
manent.
It la whispered that a prominent Society
Adonis who Is now across the sea will bo
represented In the Jarley Wax Works to

The Smith case will be given to the Jury
In the district court this morning , and the
twelve men have what Is predicted to bo
a hard case to decide. Smith sued the Board
of education for the contract price of a
heating and vcnttllatlng apparatus which he
placed In the High school building at the
orders ot the board , but with the guaranty
that the newly patented device would aive
20 per cent of the fuel required to heat the
building and would also Improve the de-
fectlvo ventlllatlon , which had been a cause
of complaint. The board rejected the device ,
Smith sues for the price nnd $300 damages ,
amounting In all to about $500. The testi
mony yesterday was largely given by the
teachers of the High school as to the ven
tilating device. The evidence was rather
conflicting , but showed that the device would
certainly ventilate the building. Two of the
teachers testified that It was necessary to
close un the registers to shut out the rush
of cold air.

SIOUX CITY , Feb. 1C. ( Special Telegram. )
The members of the Sioux City Live Stock
exchange met today to consider the Emmcrl
live stock Inspection bill , now before the
Iowa legislature. The measure was unan
imously denounced as detrimental to Hie In
terests of the Sioux City live stock market ,
us it would tend to divert shipments of live
stock to markets In other states , where ouch
Inspection does not prevail. Inspectors at
local government abattoirs assert that of the
cattle killed here not more thaa one or two
Df a thousand arc afflicted with tuberculosis. .

lon-a Political \aton.
The democrats In the Second district are
mentioning Judge Hnyee frequently as a can
didate for congress against Congressman
Curtis.
Only one of the Iowa members of congress
hen expressed disinclination to run again
this year , and all of them have had two or
more terms.
A correspondent of the Chicago Inter
Ocean from Des Molncs says that Governor
Shaw Is a likely candidate for United States
senator two years hence.
Ackley Hubbard of Clay , Senator Hobart of
Cherokee , Frank Hclsell of Buena Vista and
G. W. Pitts of Sioux have all been mentioned
In connection with the republican nomina
tion for congress In the Eleventh district
thla year.
An 'Appanooaa county newspaper suggested
L. C. Mechem as a possible candidate for the
republican nomination for congress In the
Eighth district , but the Crteton Gazette says
It was wholly without authority from the
gentleman suggested.
The retirement of Homer A. Miller from
the race for the republican nomination for
state auditor leaves the contest between W.
S. Allen of Van Buren and Frank F. Mer
rlam of Delaware. Mr. Miller withdrew be
cause ho found It necessary to go to Cali
fornia with his wife for her health.
The republican press of the Ninth district
with very few exceptions Is eolld for the
rcnomlnatlon of Congressman Hager , says
the CrcstonGazette. _ Mr. Hager has made a
record In congress which dofe his district
and himself great honor. It Is probable ho
will too o candidate another time , and If ho
Is the Indications are very pointed In hla
direction.
loir a I'roHH Comment.
Waterloo Courier : The legislature Is
doing much good work this winter without
any brass bind features , either.
Cedar Rapids Republican : Neither the
gold nor the silver current was turned
aside In the least by Undo Horace Doles
and his little broom or was It his little
boom' ?
Council Bluffs Nonpareil : It Is estimated
that It wouU cost Iowa $750,000 to put Into
operation the scheme for uniform text
books , but that Is nothing to tbo cost of
getting It out of operation again.
Kcokuk Gate City : The present legis
lature has the confidence and good will of
the people of Iowa quite generally. It has
done good .work thus far and gives promise
of more of the same kind In the near fu
ture. If It shall continue as It has begun
the people of the state will have reason to
bo satisfied with It and the results of Its
labor for the most part.
Creston Gazette : The Ray bill for state
uniformity of text books Is meeting with lit-
tie favor In the legislature and there are
no Indications that Its progress will extend
beyond the committee room , The educa
tional Interests of the state are opposed
to uniformity and especially are ( hey op
posed to the plan as formulated in Repre
sentative Uay'a bill.
Davenport Democrat : The teachers of the
state , almost without exception , are opposed
to the bill Introduced by Representative ;
Ray , calling for statewide uniformity In j
text books. The teachers are opposed to
any legislation that will restrict them in
the selection of the best books , regardless
of whether they are printed in louu or
clsewliere. And most thinking persona will j
agree that the teachers are right.

Georgia McClellan of Denlson was present at
the dedication of the cemetery at Gettys

deliver the address which has become Im

great event and likes to talk of It. It was
a bright fall day that opened for the dedi
cation and early In the morning people be
gan to gather for the services. She lived
upon Cemetery hill near the Inclosure , and
upon the Baltimore pike , the main road from
the town to the cemetery. All forenoon a
steady stream of people poured along the
thoroughfare past the house , but Mrs. Me-
Clcllan had not Intended to go to the serv
ices , for she was III and still unrecovered
from the terrible experiences of the battle.
About 11 o'clock Lincoln and his escort of
soldiers and notables of the town came rid
ing along on horesback and so Impressed
O8 she by the president's appearance that
averythlng was put aside and without delay
she made her way to the grounds. One of
the saddest and mo t Impressive sights of
the procession was a delgatlon of fifty
Bounded soldiers from Yoik hospital , men
who had been Injured' , In the battle but a
Tew months before. < 1 t

the march to Lattlmer and then said :
"The sheriff stopped us at Lattlmcr and
got hold' ' of two of the men who were leadIng -
Ing us. Ho pulled them out of the line and
let them go , and aiming his revolver at a
man standing within a few feet of him ho
fired. The man fell , and cried , 'Oh , God ,
help me. ' The next moment there was an
other shot , and then a volley. After that
there was a number of shots. "
On cross-examination Meteschlk was
asked If he could tell what man It was the
sheriff shot. Ho did not know his name ,
but thought ho could remember his face.
Attorney Lanahan for the prosecution there
upon asked the commonwealth to produce
him , but the man could not be found.

confess that he had not told the truth when
he made various statements.
Before the court adjourned at noon Mike
Mullado , the man who was shot by the
sheriff , was brought Into court. Metcnchik
was asked If he recognized Mullado ait the
man who was shot down by the sheriff.

BABY'S COHINQ.
Nature intended that
every woman should
look forward to the com-
inp of her baby with joy
and hope , unclouded by
anxiety. Almost pain
less parturition is quite
the usual thing- among
uncivilized people ,
Even in our own country
it occasionally happens
with women in robust
health and good condi
tion. It ought to be the
rule instead of the excep
tion ; and it is a fact that
a very large proportion
of the usual pain and suf
fering maybe avoided by
looking after the mother's general health ,
and specially strengthening the particular
organs concerned in parturition.

la this etory Mr. Hagc-ml makes
a now demonstration ot his won
derful power In the field of pure
romance. Ho once moro boldly
lifts the curtain that hldco the fate
of nations dead and burUd In the
nses of wMoh no record rcraalne ,
except in the silent ruins of their
cities.
ZImboo , n Inland trading city
that flourished In the heart of
Africa. 3,000 years ago , and peopled
by the Phoenicians , Is the scene of
the story. To this city cornea
PrJnco Azlel , a grandson of King
Solomon , accompanied by Isaachar.
a prlcct of Israel , cad Metom , a
Phoenician trader , who brings a
caravan of merchandise ) .
In Ellesa , daughter of Sakon , king
of Zlmboo , the prlnco meeta his
fate. King Ithobal , lord of many
legions of sivneo warriors , 10 al
ready a suitor for her hand. Ho
sues ID true barbarian fashion ,
seeks to carry her off by force , nnd
) a foiled In the attempt by Prlnco
Azlel. The atory unfolds Itaolf
around the feud between the Prince
of Israel and the savage King Itho
bal. Ellaaa lus clvcn her heart
to Azlel , and loaths the barbarian
monarch. Isaachar , the priest , la
determined that no prince of the
house of David shall wed.a . heathen
maiden , whoso people worship Baal.
An a result of his Intrigues , Ellssa
Is elected the high priestess ot
Daal.
Thla fixes an Impassable religious
gulf between her and Azlel. Their
passionate love socks to surmount
all barriers. Meantime , Ithobil
dravts his huge army ot savages
orounrt the fated city , and dcma.no >
ing HI I am. ] n marriage , proparea
to destroy It If ho U refused. How
Ellesa vlo'atfn her oHh no high
prUsless and prepares to fly with
Azlel ; how they are both discovered
and threatened ) with death by the
priests of Daal ; how , to Bavo each
other , ehe , by her right ao the high
priestess of Daal , names him her
husband , while ho renounced his
faith and offers Incense to Ooal ;
how Ithobal's horde of savages
storms the walls of the city , and
both Azlel and Ellsiu fall Into hi *
power ; and how , at last , Azlel ca-
caprs _ wlth his llfo by Ellraa'a
feigned ubmlstlon to Ithobal , she
In .turn escaping Ithobal by killing
hpfaclf. Is all told in Mr. Haggard's
most faaclnatlng manner.
The awful ceremonies In the tern-
plo of Baal , the weird rltca In the
acrod groves of Blmboo , and the
barbarous battle teenies of ( hit far-
off time , are dcscrlb d with all the
author's marvelous wealth of Iraag.

It Is a story that will surely rank
