Coroner Troynor will hold an Inquest this
morning on the body of an unknown man
found yesterday morning In the , Missouri a
1 south' of the tUnlon Pacific
bridge.
The body , which appears to have been
In the water for about ten days. Is badly
decomposed and swollen , so much so that
the features are barely recognizable. From
the appearance of the face , which has become -
como black from decomposition , it at flrst
was thought that the "floater" was n negro ,
but a later examination nt the morgue dis
closed the fact that the body was that , ot a
whlto mart. There was nothing on the body
to iglvo any duo to Its Identification. The
matf appears to bo about 45 years of ngo
and has a slight growth of grey beard. Ho
Is about flvo feet niuo Inches in height and
would wolgh about 150 pounds. He is dressed
In a brown suit of cheap material , with
traw hat , which was found several feet
J away from the body. In place of shoes or
boots the man waa wearing slippers. The
body * whcn flrat noticed was lying In about
a foot of water about 200 feet south of the
Union Pacific tridgo on the Iowa side. The
police were notified and they in turn notified
Coroner Treynor , who uccompnulod the un
dertaker to that place and after viewing
the body ordered it removed to Undertaker
Eatop's morgue , > where It Is now lying.
Coroner Troynor la of the opinion that
the man mlcbt bavo possibly been the vic
tim of foul play as tied about the neck Is a
piece of rope to the end of whloh Is attached
a piece of scrap Iron weighing about ten
jxmnclc.
It le also thought possible that the body maybe
bo that cif the stranger who at an early hour
lu the monilns several weeks ago Jumped
off the motor ocrapnny's bridge. Th height
nnd build of the "floater" an wer the de
scription riven at the tdmo of the man who
Jumped off tha bridge. That the man failed
to rlso to the surface after reaching the
water may have been duo to Uie fact that
bebad tied the iron around hie neck with
tbo Intention of making his suicide doubly
euro. The decomposed condition of the body
found yesterday , however , will make Iden
tification almost Imixwiiible except by the
wearing apparel and the peculiar fact that
the man wore house slippers In plooo of

CAUCUSES CALLED FOR FRIDAY NIGHT

Ticket Cnin'mliiH l'ut Up
n. Good
The near approach of the republican
county convention , called for Wednesday ,
September 6 , lias stirred up matters polit
ical In Council Bluffs and the various candi
dates who are out for the nomination for1
the several county offices are hustling. They
realize that between this and Friday night ,
when the caucuses will be held and dele
gates Bolectcd to the convention , some good
hard work will have to bo done. Chairman
Brown of the city central committee called
the caucuses for Friday night of this week
Instead of on Saturday , as br the call ot
Chairman Everest of the county central
committee , In order to give business men ,
who on a rule are busy on Saturday nights ,
an opportunity to got out and attend the
primaries.
Owing to the contestover , United States
senator the caucuses Friday night promise
to be the battle Around between the fol
lowers of Senator Qoar and the friends of
Hon. A. B. Cummins. The control of the
caucuses will practically mean the control
of the convention , and both sides nro workIng -
Ing hard with a vlow to getting their full
force out that night at the primaries. The
establishment of the Cummins headquarters
In the Annex to the Grand hotel has proven
a good move on the part of the workers
for the Des Molnes candidate and the Cum
mins men are far better organized than
they -were two weeks ago. The Gear crowd
nro not doing much talking , but are put
ting In n good deal of hard work , and the
primaries Friday night next will , It Is ex
pected , bring out the largest attendance In
many years.
Situation Somevrlmt Compllcntca.
The senatorial contest Is complicating local
matters scunewhat aa the delegates will bo
chosen on this issue , thus making the can
didates for the county offices a secondary
consideration altogether. The candidates for
state senator are Colonel C. G. . Saunders , an
avowed Cummins man , and A. S. Hazelton
who Is being groomed by the friends of Sen
ator Gear. Major Conslgnoy of Avoca Is
also said to be In the field for the nomina
tion. For representatives , O. M. Putnam
Alexander Osier of Careen and J. L. Blanch
ard of Avoca , and possibly others are ou
for the two nominations.
Next to the senatorial contest the noml
nation for sheriff Is attrabtlng most atten
tton , there being several candidates out mak
Ing active campaigns. John S. Morgan , the
present incumbent , who has served tw <
terms , feels that under the rule recognized
In this county , ho Is entitled to a third term
but Is meeting with considerable opposttlon
In some quarters. Captain Lee B. Cousins
district court bailiff , Is working hard for
the nomination and wilt undoubtedly go Into
the convention with a largo following. Ed
Slade of Avoca , H. B. Crofts of Oakland , N.
Frum of Pleasant townsElp and Harley
Mayno of Crescent are candidates from out
side the city. Deputy Sheriff Joe Weight-
man Is also out for the nomination nnd ,
like- Cousins , 'will go 'Into the convention
with his s'haro of the delegates back of him.
For superintendent of schools there are
three candldatca named. Prof. W. S. Paul
son of this city , P. B. Cook of Carson and
J. ti. McManus ot Neola.
For 'county ' coroner Dr. V. L. Treynor , It
Is said , wilt have no opposition and his ro-
nomlnation Is practically aESUred. B. E.
CooU will alto have no opposition for a rn-
nomiiiatlon as county surveyor. Henry
Brandos of Hancock , the retiring member
of the Board of County Supervisors , Is a can
didate for rencxmlnatlon , and It is said that
there are others who would llko to have a
sent on the board and their names will be
sprung at the convention. William Arnd , It
Is conceded by all , will have no opposition to
being renomlnatod for county treasurer.

The city couucll will meet In adjourned
session tonight nnd the session promises
to be an Interesting one. City Solicitor
Wadsworth will submit the new form of
advertisement for bids for the erection of a
municipal electric lighting plant. Several
of the aldermen are of the opinion that
the advertisement decided on at Uio meet
ing of the council last week covers the
ground nod will oppose any change. The
flnanco committee Is expected to submit Its
report on the tax levy.
The Board of Education will meet tonight
for the purpose of opening bids on the now
High school building. As State Superin
tendent Barrett's decision In the slto ap
peal case has not been received the award
ing of the contract may bo deferred or
given conditionally to 'the stnto superin
tendent's ruling being favorable to the
board. The board's urttiltcctB , Messrs. Cox
& Schoonlgon , have completed the plans and
they show but very little change sexcept
In a few minor details from the descrip

change Iras been made In the entrance portico

To roadh Pyramid lake ono must travel
over a parched , sterile country , the dull
uniformity of which Is cot broken until
iwlthln a mile of the lake ; then , aa the num-
tolt of a low-lying hill la reached , there
spreads out before ono ft T t sheet of rip-
pllng water , thlrty-flvo miles long by ten
nllos wide. Devoid of trees or shrubbery ,
jut saved from monotony by rugged shore
lines , peculiar voloanlo statuary and fre
quent etorrni , during whloh breakers roll in
upon the beach and dash against severe
cliffs with A tumult equal to a small Mzcxl
gale at sea.
As ono approaches the lake from the
west , there appears a white , conical-shaped
tele , rising In sUirtllng contrast to the dark
blue waters. From a distance the resemblance -
lance to the pictured pyramids ot the an
cient Pharaohs la remarkable , honca the
name Pyramid lake.
Aa the pyramid It about eight miles from
the western shore , a boat must bo taken to
obtain a ( bettor view. Undoubtedly . product
ot volcanic action , It looms up majestically
some 400 foot above the water. Near the
base , a white border , deposited from the
brackish , alkaline 'waters , sparkles In the
sun. A warm spring omitting gaseous
vapora , wells up la a hollow on one side of
this pyramid ; and from unknown depths below -
low bubbles of the same gas arise.
There la Just ono point whore man may
gain a foothold , and only then when the
Jake Is pcrf ctly calm. Peering down from

charm of the pyramid Is enhanced by the
presence of such hlntorlcnl-looklng birds.
White castellated Islets , about fifty yards

Along the eastern coast there Is a con

for dark , gray mosses that divide in pillars ,
whloh are capped iwlth curious mushroom-

In preserving a medieval aspect about the

lake.Dead
Dead Man's Cave , recently sealed up by
the Indians , has a growsome history. When
this cave was first discovered by white men
It had the appearance of a veritable garden
of skeletons. Human bones , heaped up In
ghnstly plica , alt but filled this cavern.
Whether It served as a vault for the dead
Indians or a repository for their white vic
tims cannot be ascertained.
Extending south from Dead Man's Cave
the greenish-blue waters sweep In three
graceful half-moon bays. Along their shores
are myriads of bleached pelican bones , which ,
with the borax deposits , whiten the beach
as far as the eye can see.
And then there Is a "Goat Island , " so
named from the wild goats that once thrived
there. They proved too tempting a prey
for the Indians , and have long since been
exterminated. Nevertheless , phantom
goats so runs an Indian legend wander
about their former haunts haunta that are
now literally swarming with awkward white
pelicans and screeching scaguls. Thous
ands of pelicans breed upon "Goat
Island , " laying their eggs In the sand. So
thick are these nests that one cannot walk
over the breeding grounds without treading
on eggs. The seagi i occupy a point of
"Goat Island" some lltiT distance from
tbo pcljcaus , and hero their eggs are laid in
crevices and small hollows.
These flocks of gulls and pelicans are
wonderful to behold. Until one sees them
for himself , PJ true account of their num
ber ( founds like an exaggerated "fish etory. "
Toward the mouth of the Truckec , nt
the southern end of the lake , the scenery
does not present many Imposing features.
Occasional elevations of grayish volcanic
rock are scattered hero and there , grand
In themselves , but Insignificant when
compared with the "Neodlos. " These are
evidently the culminating product of sub
terranean forces , lnctrumentn.1 In the beau
tifying of Pyramid lake. The Pyramid
Itself la the pre-eminent feature ; the
"Needleo" form also a re-emlnent group.
Clusters of spires tower 60 to 300 feet high
from a massive foundation.
The Indian settlements are located nt
the end at the lakfi. and the Plnfpn hnld
lordly sway ever its waters. No white
man , except the two families residing there ,
IB allowed to place a boat of his own upon
the lake. Thle fact , coupled with the un-
deslrablllty of the locality , offers scant
Inducement to sightseer and fisherman.
However , those who have enjoyed the re
markable good Rfihlns hero are anxious to
revisit Pyramid lake. The fish , weighing
anywhere from 1 to 20 pounds , are gamy
trout and afford exciting sport to followers
of Izaak Walton. A 300-pound catch In
one day Is a common occurrence.
Isolated mid barren wastes of sageland ,
embracing the reflection of Its own rugged
grandeur In brackish waters , Pyramid lake
la destined to bo admired In stole silence
by the noble rod man and widely shunned
by fashionable tourists.
