Frank Wagner , a brake-man on the
Northwestern , and Engineer Hall had a
ouarrel over the queil'ion as to whether
tlie engine had enough coal on to run it
to Council ItlulVf , at Westsi'du on Friday ,
morning , and Wagner is now laid up with"
a fractured leg.
It is stated that a certain young man is
liable to be horsewhipped if lie is found
in a certain location trying to become
acquainted with school girls hereafter.
The young man in question is a plugger
in a gambling hotiio , and has enough to
do to take care of his mustache.
The ollicers have recovered all the
proneily which was stolen from the
Jk'cntele hotel Saturday evening , and
U illiani Paxton , tiie colored porter , is be

Buchtclc was found behind a pile of lum
ber yesterday morning , where I'tixton
sent the ofllocrs to search for it.
Abe Lincoln post < T A. H. has decided
to engage Miss Kmily Hvans for an elo
cutionary entertainment at an early date.
She is said to bo excellent , but after the
hliui patronage given the entertainment
by that prince of imiwrsonators , IStir-
bank , it seems a discouraging outlook
for one who has not so wide a reputation
in that line.
Colonel Daily , as chairman of the com
mittee to prepare new rules for the gov
ernment of practice in the district court
of this county , has reported the same to
tlie court , with a rcaiu t to have the new
rules spread nnon the minutes. Judges
Carson and Thornell favor them , but
tlioy will wait until tlio two other judges ,
Deemer and Loofhoiirow , have Mail an
opportunity of passing upon them.
Thu new hospital stalled by the
Christian women is now fairly opened.
It is located on Williamsstreet , but a few
blocks from Broadway , and is under tlio
jnatronage of Mrs Dougherty. Hesides
the rooms lilted for the living of the
matron and her daughter , there arc three
hospital rooms , prepared for the care
and comfort of patients. This has been
ti great need in Council lilulls , and now
it Is so that if a stranger ii injured or
taken ill while in the city , he can bo as
sured of homelike care.
Tlio sermon delivered by Kev. (3. ( W.
Crofts at the Congregational chinch yes
terday morning , was concerning General
John A. Logan , whom he entitled ' ' 'Die
Christian Hero. " He did not seek to
preach a memorial sermon but to draw
certain lessons from tlio life of the dis
tinguished man , Unit IIIH hearers might
prolit thereby. He pictured the traits of
character which made Logan so beloved
and esteemed. Ho urged his hearers to
cultivate these same traits , and that they
were as worthy and precious in the life
of n humble man , as in the life of tlio
greatest and most honored. A diamond
was a diamond whether sparkling in the
necklace of a princess , or buried in the
dark soil of the earth.
Tlio case of C. A. Itcobo against the
K < | iiitublo Mutual Life insurance com
pany , of Waterloo , is to bo taken up
ttgafn to day. In this case Mr. Iteobo
seeks to make ( lie company pay for fur
niture purchased by the company's agent.
Itandall , for lilting up the ollli-o. Kan-
dull camn here with a great nourish of
trumpets and cut a llguru. After throw
ing money each way and running heavily
In debt ho suddenly disappeared , and ( lie
report ot his sudden death at Kansas
City followed , It seems that lie sent the
telegram himself , or caused it to be sent ,
for ho wn * afterward * , seen alive ami
hearty , but he has not returned. There
were numerous creditors , but the com
pany claims that Kaiulall was simply
Working on commission , that ho had no
authority to contract such bills , and that
the creditors must look nKowhero for
their pay , as it wa HandaH's personal
matter. The case is being lought along
the linn of technicalities and every step
is being contested sharply.
The probability , at least the possibility
of another terminal line to Council
lilufl's , is being discussed by those inter
ested in tin ) progress and prosperity of
the city. The new line refonvd to is the
extension of the VanWert line , which is
really the Toledo , 1'ooria it Wassaw.
'iho location of the line is not deter
mined , or at least not announced , but it
hinted that it will probably cross near 01
nt Crcaton , ami then run directly to this
city. It is said that a corps of engineers
will bo on this line between now and the
middle of the no\t month , In case of tlio
line being as rumored , probable , there
might be some show for a friendly riv
alry botweou C'reston and this city as to
securing thn location of tlio shops. The
Nonpareil , whoso editor , Mr. hiteadman ,
Hvrs at Crcston , in its editorial yester
day , after stating the nbovo fact's sug
gests tliut Creston will probably bo the
favored loc.ition , as It is deemed to pos
sess a better ireopraphical position , It is
dilllcnlt to see how a better point than
Council BluH's could bo chosen , nnd
probably the suggestion in Creston's
favor results from a huufablo feeling on
the part of Mr. Stcaduiiui of loyalty to
bis old home.

The appearance of a porcelain jar ,
marked "Leeches1 and standing in
chilly proximity to a frosty window in
the front of one of the city drug stores ,
attracted thr attention of the BBI : man.
"Isn't that a rathercold berth for leeches ,
Charlie ? '
"No , not so very cold , for them don't
happen to be any leeches in that jar. Wo
don't keep Iceehof , any more. TiicroiiTd
to be quite a trade in them. Fellows
would come in witli a big eye , which
some other fellow had given them , and
they would want to haye it taken down.
We would sot a leech at work on them ,
and he would MMHI fetch out the blood ,
ami 3 on wouldn't know that the eye had
been hit. "
"Why don't you keep them now ? "
"Itecattsu it doesn't pay. U e used to
have some good leeches. They were
foreign-bred lollows. Imported. Why ,
they cost IH from seventy-live cents to a
dollar apieceIt is a good deal of work to
look after them. Sometimes they didn't
have any victims to work on for a long
while , and we had to feed them. We
used to get pieces of liver for them to
liractice on , so that they wouldn't get
hungry and discouraged. Witli all tlio
care given them every now and again
one of them would die. We only charged
a dollar or so for putting one on. After
one had tilled himself it was a horrible
job to empty them up ready for another
case. Sometimes they would die , and
then it didn't pay. Pirhaps you got : i
dollar for the Use of the leech , and that
was about what it cost , to say nothing of
having kept it and cared for it. Wo had
one old veteran. It seemed as if nothing
would kill him. lie was a caution. The
greatest sucker I eor saw , for'lie worked
jn t tor his board , when ho was wortli a
good deal more than that to us. 1
wouldn't dare say how many times we
u-ed that -tame leech. Did you over have
a leech put onto you ? "
"The I5ur. man thought he had hail a
good many leeches at him , but not any
of this sort.
_ "Well , " resumed Charlie , "the sensa
tion is nothing disagreeable but the
thought of it is what frisrlitens people.
and tlio sight ot it is sickening. One
evening 1 remember it well a giddy
M > rt of a girl came in hero with one eye
done up in great shape. She said she
had got hit and wanted to know what
could be done about it. She said she'd
give five dollars if we could li\ it so that
she wouldn't have a black eye. tor bhe
was going nway somewhere and she
wouldn't have a black eye for anything.
She fairly begged. Well , we told her we
could lix it all right , but we didn't tell her
how. She seated herself in a chair , and
we got tlie old veteran out of the jar
tlie big fellow 1 was telling you about.
The big leech was quietly put on her eve
without her knowing what it was. Ho
went to work with a will , and when lie
had got well lilted up did you ever see
one that way ? They are horrible. Well ,
just as he got about as largo as ho could
well be and was about ready to drop oil' ,
one of the boys , juit for the fun of the
thing , took a hand glass and held it up
before that girl's face and let her look at
it. She keeled over as though she had
been knocked down with a club. Fainted
dead away. 1 didn't know but what she
was dying or dead. It scared me nearly
out of my boots. Wo fetched her too
after awhile , but I'll warrant you could
not get that girl to have another leech
put on her eye if she had to carry it black
fora year.1
"What do they use now in place of
leeches ? "
"Oh , a variety of things have taken tlio
place. Leeches have jrono out of style
.somewhat. For black eves beefsteak or
oysters are more in demand. " .No , it
don't pay to keep leeches. "

The other day a boy named Medley
was arrested and his friends state an in
justice was done him , as ho is thirteen
years of age \ \ hile the Payne boy was
aged ten ; that the two boys were coast
ing ; starting from opposite directions ,
they collided. Walter I'ayne was s-liglitly
hurt but has not been laid up , as one
would infer from the 15ii : : article , nor
was he struck by the Medley boy.

WAS IT MILITARY MURDER ?
Tlio Tenrs Time Klowcd Amid tlie
CliiHti ol' Arum.
Atlanta Constitution : Was it murder ?
A group of ollieers stood in an Atlanta
bookstore one sultry afternoon in ' 01 , dK-
cussing the execution of a batch of de
serters. Jt was just , before tlio icge. Sher
man was on the other side of the Chatta-
hooehee , and as the ollicers talked the
the .sullen boom of cannon every now and
tliou interrupted their conversation.
Hut was it murder ?
This question was uppermost in my
mind as i libtcpcd horror-stricken to tlio
running talk around me. It had been re
marked that one ol the deserters who had
been .shot an hour before was a youth of
sixteen.
" 1 felt rather sorry for the boy , " said
the captain.
"Oh , it's all right , " observed tlie major.
"Discipline must ho maintained at any
cost1 put in tlie general.
"Yes , of coui > e , " assented tlie captain.
"Beyond a doubt , " was the major's
comment.
"Hesides , " said the general , "ho was
no longer a boy. He was a soldier , and
when he deserted lie know the cense
quences. "
' Just so , " echoed the other Mmultanc-
ously , but their faces wore a cloudy look.
The general pickx-d up .Jomini's "Art
of War , " and spoke of it as a greatly
overrated book.
'What is tlio price of it ? " he inquired.
"Fifteen dollars , " replied tliu book
seller.
"You sec , gentlemen , " said the general
"how those cormorants take advantage ot
our misfortunes. Fifteen dollars for a
book worth lifty cents. "
The military men all glared at the
1)ooksollor , who wisely said nothing.
"Yes"said , the cuptain , apparently re
suming his talk , " 1 was never so alVeetcd
in my life as 1 was when 1 saw that little
fellow shot. "
"Did ho Hindi ? " asked the major.
"Not a bit. Ho was very pale and his
eyes had that faraway look peculiar to
men wno are looking death in the face.
he stood it like a hero , never trembled ,
and had his wits about , him to tlie
last. "
"Died instantly , didn't ' ho ? " asked the
general.
"Yes. Four balls through the hcait. "
"So much the better , lie did not suf
fer.1' And the general nicked up Mahon
on "Field Fortifications. "
" 1 heard that the boy belonged to a
good family , " said the major. "He ran
away from homo , joined the army and
fought bravely. His desertion was moro
of a little escapade than anything else. "
"If Sherman was not pressing us so
infernally hard"interrupted the captain ,
"he would have been let oil' , but the court
martial just rushed things through and
there was nobody to look after the boy. "
Boom ! Boom ! thundered the cannon
over the hills at the front.
"Why ( should anybody look after
him ? " interposed the general. "We
must look alter the army and its difcip-
lino. "
Hoom !
"The fact is , " continued the general ,
"matters have reached a point where wo
must make an nxumplo of every man who
fails to do his duty. "
" 1 admit it.1 reiilled the captain , hut it
makes my blooil run cold to bluughter
mere boys , "
r Tim general tucked 'Jomini's "Art of
War" in hi.s pooketand paid tor it. Then
ho turned around and cleared his throat.
"Now listen to mo,1' 1m baul jmpres-
blvoly. "You certainly will give mo
credit for the average amount of kind
ness , sympathy and human feeling. Yet
cannot agree with you about that de-
orier. According to ail accounts ho was
a sensible hid. lie know his duty as a
Koldier. Ho know that if ho deserted ho
would bo shot. What did ho do ? . When
the enemy was marching on , threatening
this very city , endangering the existence
of the confederacy , he sneaked oil'to the
wouds. Homo .say ho was going to see
his mother. It does not matter. Ho
was a deserter. If wo .spared him others
would have to bo spared. The army
would be donuirali/cd. Desertions would
bo the order of the day. Wo had to shoot
him as an example , it could not bo
avoided. Now , let us drop the subject. J
know that 1 am right , and 1 should like
to see any one stand up and say that 1 am
wrong. "
Hoom ! boom !
Thcwavo ot thunderous sound rolled
o\er-.thc whole city , and * people stopped
to listen.
Just then a light wagon covered
with dust and evidently from the
country stopncd in front of the More.
Two women alighted and came in. One
was quite young , and the other , who was
old enough to bo her mother , leaned on
her arm.
"Itiuc you an evening paper ? " the
young woman asked the bookseller.
lie handed ono to her , and the old
woman , arranging her spectacles ,
glanced nervously over it.
"Yes. it is truu that thcro was an exe
cution here to day , " she whispu'ud hur-
rludly to her

For some reasons the ollicers relapsed
into an embarrassed silence. The major
with his index linger commenced drawing
fortilications on a map of Georgia. The
captain looked moodily at the lloor. The
general pulled Jomini's "Art of \ \ ar"
out of Ins pocket and then thrust ii back
again.
"Oh , mercy ! " exclaimed the young
woman in a low tone , "those people told
us the truth then. "
. "Oh , my God I My poor murdered boy ! "
So wild , unearthly anil piercing was
the cry that every man in iho room
fctartcd in alarm.
The old woman had fallen back in a
chair gasping for breath , with her face
as white as a sheet.
Her companion gently fanned her until
she laid her irray heail on her hand and
sohbed aloud.
Turning to tlio sympathetic and silent
spectators the j'oung woman pointed tea
a paragraph in the paper and haul :
"It was her boy her only sou. Tlio
paper calls it military justice. We call it
inurdcr ! "
The general gradually moved toward
the door. His head was bowed and his
haniis trembled. As soon as ho got out
side he walked olT at a rapid pace. The
major made several ineffectual attempts
to build a strong redoubt with his linger
tip on the map of Georgia , but suddenly
collap > ed and abruptly bolted. Iho cap
tain remained. He brought the old
woman a class of water , and fanned her
while he listened with a sad but kindly
lace to the young woman's story.
it seems that the boy's mother lived
thirty miles in the country. Vague re
ports readied her that her son was in
trouble , and she rode in with a neighbor ,
arriving an hour or two after the u.xccu-
tion. i caught tins much of it , and then
an eager desire seized me to follow the
example of the general and major. As I
went out of the door I looked back. The
old woman was silently praying , while
'
the tears ran down licfwitlie'red cheeks.
Her friend looked down upon her with
pitying eves , and the captain had one
hand over his bronzed face. The big guns
continued to boom all that afternoon , but
I dia not hear them. I had something
else to think of.
