IVlint Are You Golnjrto do About It ?
To the Editor of Tim IJKK.
As there is A great deal of agitation in
the minds of our citizens at the present
time regarding the question of court
house bonds and the coining city olcc-
t'tona , would it not bo well for some of
our prominent men to answer the fol
lowing ( juestinno :
1st. Is it true there is at this moment
n hundred dollars in money belonging to
the city in the hands of a certain alder
man that should ho ia the city treasury ,
without Iwing inquired into by the or
ganization called the botrd of trade , sup
posed to ba composed o nearly all our
leading business men , wko are earnestly
favoring thu issuing of the caid bonds ?
2d. Is there not enough of manhood
in Council Blulfr that ut least will force a
public carrier to loep his oflico open , es-
paclally during this old weather , f < r
the accommodation of our ladies and
children in return for the forfy-two
thousand dollar "Union Avenue" given
away , moderately speaking ?
3d , Is there any head to our police
force , and if so why docs ho permit hi
subordinates to hang around gambling
dens nnd places of like diameter !
3d , Do our loading citizens know that
seine prominent men are keeping strang
ers from coining to this city on the plea
that lifo. property and character are in
danger oven in broad day light ? If those
( { uostions cannot bo answered satisfactor
ily wo certainly should not ask cur neigh-
bora otitsido to assist in oven such neces
sary improvements n/i / n now court house
and jail.
Being in favor ourselves of the build
ing of the now court house and jail , wo
would emphatically , in the language of
the lao "Boss" Tweed , nsk , in tlio event
of defeat nt thn polls , "what are you go
ing to do about it ? " Our advice would
bo to lot these opposed to tlio issuing of
county bonds understand that our board
of supervisors , who thus far have con
ducted our nflnirs in A manner to place
themselves before the pnoplo above reproach
preach , nro neb tlio same kind of men
who have for a year or moro manipulated
our city government. Thi matter in-
te'ligpntly sot bofote the voters of this
city , if posaiblo by the county supervis
ors , at a public mooting , to bo called nt
the court house or olsuwhoro , for such
purpose , would give moro weight in the
right direction than n trunk full of circu
lars issued by the board of trade , or ar
ticles sent out through the proas.

THE TARANTULA'S BITE.
I > vlJ Lowry In The Chicago Current.
Among nil my acquaintance none scorn
ed happier than Eugene F 1 named
him Fortune's Favorite. Ho had n beautiful -
tiful and liighly accomplished wiTc ; his
children wore the prettiest and best man-
norcd 1 have over mot. AH the wonjon
considered Mrs , F ns near perfection
as mortals can achieve ; all the men voted
Kimono F as clever ft man s one
could desire to claim fellowship with. Ho
was rich in associations , in the integrity
of a name that commanded the respect of
four generations. How few aspiring
Americans can say as much. Ho posses
sed the advantages a liberal education
givoa ; his place was assured as well as it
is possible to assure nny thing in a country
whcro the wheel of fortune obliterates
the accumulations and reputations of
generations and lifts men and women out
of obscurity in u day. That is to say , the
company that employed him was the
oldest , most reliable awl the richest organization -
ganization of its kind in the country.
Finally , in addition to ft salary of S30UO
ft year. Eugene had good reason to count
upon an inheritance in the near future
that would render him independent.
The noteworthy trait fellowship vrith
Eugene F revealed was his equable
spirits , born , ns ho assorted , of content
ment. Up was satisfied with his place ,
his belongings and enjoyments. No man
had more to make him happy _ , ho said.
No man enjoyed lifo moro philosophical *
ly , or fretted himself less over the big or
little things beyond his control. It was
his equipoise , and , doubtless , his ignor
ance of the trials and bitter experiences
of loss favored pooplu that rendered
Eugene F indilfercnt when the mis
fortunes and temptations of the poor wore
discuosod. Gonurous to n fnult , howas _
unnblo to comprehend the dire necessities
that diivo tha unfortunates to despera
tion and death. Ho was severe could
with dilliculty find language strong enough
to express his contempt of the average
suicide.
A Door man who sought employment
and failed to liud it , weary with fruitless
ollbrt , despairing under the world's rebuild -
build , plunged recklessly into the un
known The means employed empha
sized the poverty of the wretched creature.
The newspapers made much of it. It
was the item of the day , and proved n
base for cohinuiR. 1 dropped in on
Eugene one day when his hour's work
was done. Ho > > ad a newspaper in his
hand. Ho throw it down impatiently ,
migrly , as ho handed mo a cigar , and
pushed mo into a scat , saying : "I am
disgusted with you newspaper men. Why
do you give so much prominence and
space to that horrible suicide ? By all
accounts the fellow did all that was loft
for him to do. If ho had only displayed
common sense when ho was about it and
adopted easier moans 1 If a man must
kill himself why does ho disfigure him
self or impose unnecessary and horrible
agonies such as this poor wretch inflicted
upon himsclfi"
Aside from the fact that I have no
patience witli the speculation and theory
that cuts ground from under every Chris
tian's feet , 1 was tired. Eugene worked
un hour every day. I worked on an
average 12 at least , and did moro in one
hour than Eugene did in three. Since it
was cluar to mo that ho received at least
10 times moro for his mental toil than I
did 1 could Biiord to permit him to in
dulge himself in a prolonged dissertion
of the "survival of the fittest. " It pleased
him and amused mo.
"Now , " ho said , at the end of a chap
ter , "tell mo why a man who chooses to
kill himself , let ua say with a rat poison ,
should bo regarded as much above a rat.
Here is another account in this morning's
paper of a woman who held her head in
a tub of water until she drowned. Toll
me a woman who does that is entitled to
Iho bonelita uf the I'.Hh century ? Why ,
if such people wore fairly balanced on the
fence round heaven they would h ng
with their heads downward of course.
Human tad poles , all of them ! "
Eugene had a horror of death ; cemete
ries vrero his special aversion. Ho won
never known to attend a funeral. Ho
could not bring himself to witness tha
ceremonies in the house or at the grave.
Ho hud a prejudice against burial.
"Why can't avery body have vaults , with
nice , pleasing colors on the walls liavo
the interior as wo'l as the exterior orna
mented and made so attractive thai pou-
plo going into them would fool us they do
when they enter an attractive chamber
with a bed in it ? "
"Do you mean the dead ? "
"You know well enough I refer to
visitors to the living. "
"I am afraid , " I could not help saying ,
gravely , "you have yet to lo < trn , Eu
gene , that not all the religion , all the
learning nnd all the philosophy in the
world can over make death other than
death. "
"But that is no reason why everybody
should make death so horrible and
grisly. They make it ghastly , and in the
eamo bru.itli toll you it is the way to
heaven. The wuy to heaven ought to bo
beautiful. "
" 'Havo ' ' Pro-
you forgotten 'Pilgrim'a -
gresE1"
"A piece of rank plagiarism. The idea
is thousands of yours old ! "
"Why cio juu introduce discords in
music ) ' '
"Nonsenco ! I'll ' name you u thousand
pieces famous compositions without a
discord , " Eugene answered. "Tho fact
is the world doesn't believe what it pro
fesses. "
"Why don't you advocate'cremation ? "
I retorted. "If your theory is correct ,
burn 'oin all up ; bum the whole world
and carry 20 generations in a watch-
charm. "
A friend called upon Eugene F
and solicited his counsel and services in
a business matter. It was a responsible
trust. The friend was going abroad to
remain for years , perhaps permanently.
Ho owned , jointly with his sister , a piece
of property near the great oil bolt. It
ininht bo worthless , and it might prove
very valuable. What the friend required
was honest dealing. For himself ho did
not care. Ho had great wealth , but his
invalid sister was entitled to all that
could bo realized from her half of the
land It was for Eugene F . to dis
cover the value of the land , and to cxor-
ciso his judgment in disposing of it. Ho
undertook the task with ill-concealed
icpugnanco. Ho disliked traveling ; hnd
a horror of unaired beds and pot-luck. Ho
wont to the oil regions in a bad humor ,
When he returned u great change was no
ticed in hia manner. A month had worked
wonder ; .
' Just think of it , " ho eaid to me ,
when ho dropped in to shako hands in
his cheery , nearly way ; "L thought
those GOO acre.i worn worth about ? 5 an
aero. At the end of u week I won ottered
$10,000 ; in unothor wuok it jumped up
to t > 100COO , and finally I let it go for
$100,000. half ewJj , balance in three
nunths.
Itstiuckus all as a surprising streak
of luck , and everybody put it thut way ;
but Eugene , who was a convert to the
"belt" theory , held it wai simply a mat-
tor of rnnnngoment and business oxpori-
unco and sagacity. He assorted there
was abundance of oil territory undovcl
oped , and his friends wcr surprised
bayoud expression when ho announced
hisrosoho to demonstrate the correct
ness of his conclusions. Ho undertook
iho task of developing , and , like many
another who started out on the "bolt
theory , ho ended "wild-eating. " In
other words , ho assumed extraordinary
risks. His ollorts were attended with
varying success. Ho experienced down
right bnd luck , and rare good fortune ,
too.
too.In
In a year loss time hia old friends
scarcely know Eugonn P . Ho was
cneryiHicconfident , positive and decisive ;
n voiy f.iir specimen of thoroughgoing
American bushmss man. His ventures
proved profitable in the main , and then ,
nil nt once , accident tilled his pockets
ono ni ht while ho slept. Ho was the
possessor of half a million. Ho was in
the middle of the current , n prominent
craft in the stream that allured thou
sands , floating n fraction into safe harbor ,
and stranded a great Majority.
I noldom mot Eugene now. Wo were
in dilloront channels. Chance brought
us face to ftico ono dny in ( rout of The
Era ofllco.
"How are you , Ned ? Had dinner ?
Como with mo. I want company. No
refusal now. "
"Mako it to-night , at home , and I'll bo
on Imiid. "
ul wish I could ; but the truth is , 1 am
so seldom at homo now I don't know
when 1'vo spent night , or raU'or ' an
evening at homo. "
And this was my bookish friend who , a
yonrngocould not bo induce : ! to leave IHA
snug library , or cosy living-roam , where
his wife and children were his chief com-
panionn.
Half an hour's conversation proved tome
mo that my friend the man 1 had re
spected and loved was as dead as the
Pharaos. In hia place 1 found a man
'
who 'scorned a bundle of nerves lie hud
lost the repose of my old friend , and
vrith it his grace. While it was impossi
ble for Eugene F to become either
co.irso or brusque , his positive manner
and tones , his decision , gave him an an
gularity than was less to bo admired
than his former ease and urbanity.
"Now you have made your pile , Eu
gene , I suppose you will bo oil' to Europe
gome of these days. Possibly wo may
loose you altogether. "
He looked at mo with undiguisod as
tonishment. "What makes you nay
that ? "
"They say you are worth nearly o mil
lion. "
"Seo here this is confidence. Ned
they say a great deal that isn't truo. But
in this instance they are not far wrong.
But why should I quit on n million ?
Have some moro musliroons. This is the
only place I can get a decent steak in
town.
"I've seen the time you would have
boon content with aquaitcrof a mil
lion. "
"Yos ; in the long ago. Do you know
I was a fool in these days. Nature never
intended a man should bo content. Ho
ought to bo just as eager to make his 10th
yes , his 100th million for that matter
as his first. For my part but mind you
don't lot your hive know it ; T don't ' care
to get thorn after mo I've no intention
of quitting till I'vo made five millions. "
"You have only 'another step to take
and you will establish your claim to all
the privileges enjoyed by the aristo
crats. Ho laughed.
"No , I am too sensible for that , " ho
replied , "although , for that mittar ,
I always hold nature had made its divis
ions. There will be hnwerti of wood and
drawers of water as long us grass grows
or water runs. "
"I nior.nt thorp is dango that ono day
you will look with contempt on n man
with less than ton thousand a year. "
< "Don't blame mo , my boy , " ho replied ,
in a patronizing manner I immediately
I'oBontcd ' , "if 1'vo set my peg for five mil
lions. "
"I'vp seen the time you were as well
off , enjoyed the world , literature , arttho
society of your friends , and above all , the
companionship of your wife and children ,
and all on less than 3000 a year , for I
happen to know you gave liberally and
lent freely. "
"I can only repeat five million is my
figure. And I'yo only made the first
notch on that Rtick. "
"How if yon fail ? You never know
when the sec-saw will bump you on the
ground. "
The next day Eugene F lost § 100-
000. A > vouk later ho was not worth $10.
There came out of n contest , such as was
npvor witnessed before nor since between
oil operators , moro wrecks of men men
tally and morally , physically and financi
ally , chief among whom was Eugene F
The tarantula's bite had poisoned his
life's blood. Ho was no longer the
brisk , neat , scrupulously dressed , quite
mannered gentleman. Ho was unshaven
half the timo. His eyes wcro shifting ,
never steady , and partly discolored.
Unrest and the fovcr of speculation loft
their traces stamped I should say
branded him as an unsuccosefnl man.
I once hoard a man ( and ho belonged
to my own guild , moro's the pity ) , nay
that all labor was degrading. Ho cited
our great manufacturing centers point
ed to the homes of the workern wlioao
products are very pillars of the earth , so
far as its commercial , moneyed and many
of its social institutions are concerned ,
and proved to his own satisfaction that
the tendency of all labor was to brutal
ize , to harden ; to destroy the sousibill-
itios. lie made the too common mistake
of confounding ell'eces with causes. I
wonder what this student would nay if
somebody should cite to him the case
of Eugene F It might pur/Jo him to
define the precise value of the patent of
nobility ho derived through tvro year's
intercourse with the men wliocovorn the
world's marts and represent the rumilkd
interests of the trade ,
Eu cm was ruih'ng ' ho never wall el
as other men walked now- past mo ono
day , when I caught his arm.
"Hollo ! Howd'y , old boy , " . '
"That's precisely the question I have
determined to atk you. Como in here
and have a glass of wine. " As I led him
into a litllo snuggery few frequented , ho
answered , "permit mo to nominate bran
dy or whisky for mine. "
"Tho battle has gone against you. "
"Yos , I haven't a dollar to my name ,
Nod. "
1 was amazed. I thought there WAS
something left that ho could turn into
cash , and 1 could 1191 help expressing my
thought.
"No , nal Nothing of the sort. I
could have in fact I thould have man-
uged diilorontly , and put aside something
n little bit in real cstnto.or a few bonds
but I didn't. "
"What nuxt ? "
"What next ? " ho repeated dreamily
and drearily. "Oh ! 1'vo not made up
my mind. "
"Eugono , " I said briskly , "go buck
and ask for your old place I believe ita
there for the asking , And in six mouths
you will look back on your experiences
in oil as a bad dream. "
"You are right , Ned. I always thought
you n slow goorbut you are right 0 times
out of 10. I'll act on your advice ; nnd I
tlmnk you from the bottom of my soul
for the interest you manifest in mo.
Ho was as good as hia word , But be
fore the month was out ho joined forces
with another clerk and made $150 on a
turn in oil. Ho was _ bobbing up beside
the dashing operators inside of a month.
A month later there was a battle royal
lasting three days , in which the bulls
and bears were so thoroughly blended
that it was with extreme dilliculty the
best informed observers could determine
the rotative posUions of the horned and
clawed competitors. Immense sums
were made and lost. On the first day it
wan reported that Huge no F cleared
§ 10,000. On the third day it was rumored -
morod ho had accumulated § 250,000. ,
At noon , in the presence of a throng of
men whose frantic actions and loverish
fi\cos oxibitid every phase \ > ( a gambler's
experience , Eugene announced himself
"ahead of the game $300,000 , " at 2
o'clock ho hnd not enough money to pay
for his lodgings ,
1 was coming out of Iho Era ofllco
about 2 o'clock the next morning. Some
body telephoned from n livery stable
there was a good "Horn" in Slado's building -
ing , n locality well known to the police
and press gang , The last were disgusted
with iho sameness of these "items" the
promises furnished , and concertedly
called for strenuous action on the part of
the authoiities. The morning was wet
and chilly ono of those sleety , dismal
mornings that diives man and beast into
hasty common ehelter. I refused to stir
at first , then something 1 have never
boim able to explain to myself ( certainly
it was not fear that our contemporaries
would aocuro an item the renders of the
Era would bp deprived ol ) caused mo to
change my mind , 1 mndo my way to the
notorious premises indicated , nnd stum
bling into the hallway ran against a
policeman.
"Ilo's had an awful time , poor devil.
I never saw anybody stiller so much. It
was awful awful. " "Hero's what's thu
mutter , I guess , " said another policeman ,
as ho picked up a small label marked rat
