A communication from H. II. Ileitz
hausen of the Hotel I'lattsinouth was
read In which he asked the council to
take some action in regard to his claim
for damages against the city, resulting
from the smallpox enso. As it was in
definitely post posed at a previous
meeting the council was poworleea to
take any action oji the matter on a
communication. It was the opinion of
the members that a new claim would
be the only manner in which Mr.
Heitzhauaen could get the attention of
the body.
A batch of claims against the city
were read and referred to tho claims
committee.

The Plattsmouth Telephone com
pany submitted a resolution which was
read by the cle-k in which the com
pany offered to furnish the city a tele
phone free if the council would bind
itself not to hire or use any other tele
phone. The resolution was unani
mously adopted and the lighting com
mittee was given power to select the
location of the 'phone.
An opinion of City Attorney Ileeson
was read in which he stated that the
council should take some action to
prevent contagious diseases from get
ting into the city limits', so far as pos
sible.
Sattler brought up the matter of
locating a "hay market"' in the city
in order that loads of hay, etc.. could
be kept off the streets. Considerable
discussion followed and the matter
was referred to the streets, alleys and
bridges committee, and effort will be
made to compel expressmen to hitch
their team9 on a side street or some
place other than Main street.
Sattler made a motion that all claims
against the city be allowed except that
of Mr. Boyer for extra time while he
was here acquainting himself with tht

Messrs. Hinshaw, Whelan, Buttery,
Lutz and Messersmith wanted some
repairs made in their respective wards
and the work was ordered done.
The Nebraska Telephone company
asked permission to t-et some new
poles on Main street. Sattler said he
thought the company should place
their poles in the alleys. Ilerold did
not think they should be granted the
privilege; that they could use the
poles now in use until such time as
others were absolutely necessary, then
they should be sat in the alleys.
Hinshaw made a motion that no new
poles be set on Majn street and the
same carried.
There being no further business,
upon motion of Messersinlth council

l. Hull, Ksq., and Uncle Sam
Swallowing PlUs.
Lead
In
It has been lately discovered that
'ne-le Sam has an unrecorded feather
n his cap. He not only consumes more
-liisky, beer, etc., than any nation in
he world, but, as a direct cause or
onsequenee, he annually swallows
Jiore pills. England is a close sec
ond, but then the second man, like a
vice president, has always sunk into
he bottom of oblhion. There is no
ieed to put off rejoicing. We lead
uankind in patent medicines. The in
rcduction of machinery has in pill
' a king, as in all other trades, greatly
inpiiiied and increased the business,
:ere formerly chemists and appren-
( es. were engaged, there are now ma
i.ines to mix. coat, box and count the
oods. The output in Great Britain
n consequence of the extreme ease in
which both the medicine and the
money may be made, has yearly in
reased until it is now estimated that
250 hundred weight, or about 40,000,000
Dills, are consumed each week. In
.he United States the figures run over
;0,000.000. This means that five
Immans out of six take a pill every
seven days. The uses to which this
mass of medicine is put are of course
manifold. The majority are for so
called incurable diseases, while, of
course, a great portion are panaceas.
The advertising from the business is
enormous, $50,000 per week in England
and $75,000 in America being a mod
est estimate. The profits are said to
be monstrous, as the ingredients in the
most cases cost little or nothing.
America is a great, although uncon
scious, believer in faith cure. Her
generally extraordinary health has
been by some attributed to the fact
that the majority of her people, before
calling a physician, will dose hem
selves with there ready-made pills.
Securing Gibraltar's Oates.
Perhaps the favorite sight of Gibral.
tar is the daily procession at sundown
for the locking of the town gates. The
Keeper of the Keys, looking very like
a prisoner, despite his uniform,
marches through the town in the cen
ter cf a military guard, preceded by a
regimental band, which plays inspiring
and familiar tunes. The keys of enor
mous size, are borne aloft before him
as an outward and visible emblem ot
the vig'lance of Britain in guarding
her prime military treasure. On arriv
ing at the gates the guard salutes, the
martial strains strike up with a re
double;! paean of triumph while the
great doors slowly swing to, and are
solemnly locked for the night. Then
right-about-turn, and the procession
marches back to the convent to deposit
the l eys in the governor's keeping,
conveying by its passage an assurance
to the people and garrison that they
may rest in peace. Once the gates are
shut it were easier for a camel to pass
through the eye of a needle than foi
any unauthorized person to go into
Gibraltar. Even a belated officer re
turning from pig-sticking beyond the
lines would be confronted by so many
formalities, and the necessity of incon
veniencing so many high personages,
that he would probably prefer to en-:
counter the discomforts of a Spanish
inn without.

FACTORY FOR CAKE WALKERS.
A Place In This City Where Thojr Are
Turned Oat KveryDay.
From Chicago Chronicle: It may
not be generally known that Chicago
has a factory for the production ol
cake walkers. No machinery Is used,
the output being the result rather of
circumstances. In one of the State
street restaurants, which is nearly half
a block deep and which boasts the
longest lunch counters in the city,
about fifty colored men are employed
as waiters, and they all wear white
uniforms well stained by the drippings
from pies and the slop-over from
liquids. About 2:30 o'clock each after
noon the men take their lunch. They
all form in line in the rear of the res
taurant and march in single file down
to the front of the room around the
principal counter, countermarch down
the other side and sit at a counter
provided for them. The feature of
the march Is the cake walk swing,
which most of the men practice, and
it is no unusual thing for those whom
they pass to overhear such remarks
as:
"Get dat cake walk move right."
"Say, man, you'd never win no cake
with that walk on you."
"If I was a gal and you walked with
me like that I sure would pull a razor
on you." etc.
Some of the men are said to he the
most expert cake walkers In the city.
ITALIAN MAKES REAL PEARLS.
He Has Formed a Company and Will
Use Tame Oysters.
We shall have to alter that line
about "pearls from the ocean and gems
from the mine" now that an Ingenious
Italian has found out how to grow
pearls in aquaria by the aid of tame
oysters trained to do his bidding. This
is, of course, a very different thing
from the dodge of inserting a small
sphere in an oyster shell, which in
time will become coated with mother
of pearl and resemble a pearl, the
Italian's system is to make real pearls.
The pearl, as we learned In tender in
fancy from "Mangnall's Questions," is
an excrescence in the shell of the right
kind of oyster, the translucent lining of
the shell itself being mother of pearl.
The pearl is the result of irritation
something gets into the oyster's eye,
or he has a bad cold, is crossed in
love, or is annoyed because dinner Is
late and Mr. Comba, an Italian nat
uralist, has discovered how to treat the
oyster to make him manufacture pearls
at command. He has formed a com
pany which intends to breed pearl
oysters, and by preserving the spat
from the dangers of the seas it is ex
pected that a much larger proportion
of babies will be reared than usual.
Tickled in the right way these oysterB
will all produce real lustrous gems.
PAT'S REPLY SAVES SERGEANT
His
Colonel O -erlooked Qua
of
His
Nam jrons Sprees.
From the Washington Post: When
one of the rtiirtJnguished brigadier
generals of the regular army was th
colonel of an irtfantry regiment, sta
tioned at a far western post, he was
known as a deep, steady drinker.
Drink never showed on him. but It
was pretty well known throughout hl3
command that he was, to employ the
army phrase, "corned up" just about
all the time. One of the first ser
geants of this colonel's regiment waa
notable in the outfit as a corking fine
soldier and tip top non-commissioned
officer, but he had one fault. He was
bound to accumulate a huge, whoop
ing Jag every pay day and he had to
be "broke" "busted" to the ranks
that Is a number of times for this
reason. He was generally made a top
sergeant again, after a month or so
as an unchevroned buck soldier, for
he was almost an invaluable man in
the top soldier's billet. On one of the
occasions when this first Bergeant re
turned to his quarters after a two day
whirl in the town adjoining the post
he had been absent without leave
for twenty-four hours the colonel
and post commanding officer visited
the locked-up derelict at the guard
house. "Look here, my man," sali
the colonel, remonstratlvely, "why In
the devil do you engage in this kind
of funny business? You're too good
a man- to ruin yourself In this way,
You're the best first sergeant I've got
in my command, and here you've gone
and acted so again that I've got to
break you. Why don't you quit It?
Why will you persist in getting drunk
every day? Why don't you drink like
I do now?" "Because, sir," replied
the top sergeant with a grin, "if I did
I'd be dead In a week." The "old
man" grinned and walked off, and the
first sergeant vas not "broke" that
time.
German Db Steadily Growing,
The German debt is growing con
stantly at the rate of about $36,000,000
a year. In 1888 it was J173.000.000. At
the end of 1898 it wad three times as
great. These figures are from a Ger
man statistical paper. The total debt,
5540,000,000, 13 very small, as debts go
in this age.
The highest point to which man can
ascend without his health being very
seriously affected is 16.500 feet.
