THE NEWS IN THE BLUFFS , Anxious Inquiries About tha New Union Depot Project. A TEXAS TEAM OF RUNAWAYS. t Cntholio Laillen limy With Bazar Preparations Unfair Bower An * BCflftiiicntn MoDntignl. Lia ble to Bo Looked , Up. Where In the Union Depot ? What has become of the union depot enterprise ? No very definite or satis factory answer follows the many repeti tions of the query. There are whisperIngs - Ings that the men having an active management of the aflalr are not wholly inactive , but are moving as rapidly as they well can In view of the magnltudo of the enterprise. These nro whisperings , however , and the general feeling Is that the enterprise is being allowed to fall into a fatal slumber. This ought not so to bo. Among the many now enter prises which have been the outcome of this year of boom , none is of more im portance , except , perhaps , the bridge. and that hardly moro no. The local depots of this city arc a disgrace , not only to the railways which use them but to the city itself. The real union depot Is what , is known as the transfer , and that in located far distant from the center ot the nity and is used but little for local trallUs. The city lias shown a disposition to help along the en terprise of a new union depot to any le gitimate extent. There seems to bo no real obstacle in the way of speedily se curing this depot. Unless there are some underhanded and hidden hindrances the enterprise Is apparently retarded * by lethargy. Several of the railways cen tering in this city have through their olllcials expressed themselves as being favorable to such a depot. It lias been openly declared tlmo and time again that the reason rickety old shells called de pots wore not replaced by suitable build ings was that it would soon como to pass that a fine , largo union depot would bo built , and that the shells wore there fore retained for temporary use only. The Union Depot company tiled a bond with Iho city that if Tenth avenue was given up to the Union Pacific the union depot would bo built , and the Union Pacific , which has been looked upon as rather hostile to the enterprise , lias over the signature of President Adams pledged itfolf not only not to oppose the scheme , but to co-oporate in it and work with the Iowa roads for its completion and occupancy. The improvements being made bv the Union Pacific indicate that it will not belong long before , as has been intimated long ago , the present buildings at the transfer would bo needed by the company for freights and other business , so that the building of a union depot IIP town would not cause them the expected loss by the abandonment of the largo and costly transfer for passenger purposes. The enterprise is apparently simply waiting for a waking up. How that can best be accomplished is a question. The citizens should take some action speedily. An Unfair Mayor Gronowcg has been examining the causes of complaint concerning the assessment for the .Fifth avenue sewerage and ho embodies his ideas in the follow ing communication , which lie has placed in the hands of a council committee , to gether witti the other papers in the case : Gentlemen ot the Council : I desire to call your attention to the mode of assessing the cost of construction of sewerage ajjalnst fronting and abutting property : Heretofore , i believe , it has been the ens' torn to charge the actual cost of the sewer to tne property , that Is If there was a six-Inch sewer It was so charged , or if there wns a larger sewer It wns also chanted at Its actual cost. This , I claim , is radically wrong if car ried out in the future , and If there has been a mistake made before It is now hlcti Umo to correct It. before the new special assessment Is imule for the sencrugn now buinc con structed. .The location of our city Is BO pe culiar that the former mode of taxation would bo Inequitable and bo unjust to a great number of our citizens , for the reason that whore our largest and therefore most ex pensive sewers are constructed the property is a ure.it dual cheaper than In that portion of the city where a smaller sewer Is sufficient and 1 contend that the sewers In the lower part of town are constructed moro for the purpose to furnish an outlet to the sewers In the upper part of town than for sewerim ; the locality In which they nro built. Section 117 of the laws of IOWA , relating to cities of the first class , reeulatos the mode of paying for the construction of sewers and it points out four distinct methods for the assessing and collection of such tax , and it liirthersucgcsts that any two ot these methods mav bo pursued. There being so many different ways to ad just this matter In an amicable way , just and fair to all concerned , and thinking this of the hlzhest Importance. I would recommend that the linnnce committee look Into this , and take the advice of the city attorney , and , if necessary , other legal advice , and report at the earliest opportunity a system of assessing the coat of soworaco which shall bo equitable to all , and which may thereby facilitate the prompt payment of this part of our tax.

The move for scouring a Chautanqua assembly hero Is ono which interests so many and is of such vital importance to the city that ono general meeting is to bo hold in the hope that this gathering will causa the closing up of all the pre liminary arrangements necessary. The committee of arrangements have planned for a grand rally at tbo opera liouso Sunday evening , and it is exuoctod that most , and probably all the churches of the city will so arrange their services as to leave all free to unlto in this meet ing. It is necessary that the needed amount of subscriptions should bo sc oured at onco. if this city is to have its opening assembly next summer. Those cities which have such assemblies are already arranging their programmes for next season , and there is munh prelimi nary work to bo done hero. Those havi ing the matter in hand wisely prefer to have a sure financial basis before mak ing any contracts or getting into any complications. The rally Sunday night will bo for the purpose of hastening the completioh of these arrangements. Close or the Federal Court. Tno closing cose of the present term of the United States court was that of Ham ilton vs Pearcy. This was a suit growr ing out of a corn contract. The plaintiff and defendant wont into an agreement for cribbing about 100,000 bushels of corn nt Ncola , and this was to bo sold under certain agreements at an assured profit , or else bo held for a certain period of timo.The suit involves several thousand dollars , and has been in the courts for some timo. The court was in session last evening and the case will bo closed this morning so as to adjourn. The two principal criminal cases have been continued. One was that in which Crawford , a former mail clerk , was charged with purloining some registered packages at the transfer , whore ho was employed. Ho has given bail m the sum of 13,000. The other was that of C. II. Converse , the Oakland attorney , who was charged with sending obscene letters through the inatH it being an apparent outgrowth of a family trouble , ho and his wlfo haying been divorced.

Ilnrt In A Runaway. i'cstorday afternoon George E. Leeds , of Mineola , was the victim of a runaway accident. Lately ho purchased a team of Texas ponies , with which to deliver meat to his country customers , ho being a butcher engaged In selling principally among the farmers. A few day > ago the ponies Indulged In a run , and smashed about fifteen dollars worth of spokes and straps. Yesterday the same team started into a run , about a mile and a half from this city , near Benton's plnco. Ho was just opening a gate when the ponies started. Ho jumped for their heads , but missing a hold , grabbed the reins and was dragged some distance , when the reins gave way und the ponies continued the run until a barbed wire fence served an injunction on them. When Leeds gathered what there was left of himself ho found that besides a general shaking up and numerous bruises , ho had a bad wound in the right arm , tliu supposition being that an iron of the wagon brake had struck him , entering the flesh clear to the bono. Ho hastened to this city , and had his injuries cared for by Dr. Hoburtson. Dr. J , T.

Chief Engineer Templeton undertook to prove to several reporters , Tuesday night , that the lira alarm system was working all right , and the result was very satisfactory. An alarm was turned In from box lifty-four , at the corner of First axonuo and Eighth street , and in 8:38 : Rescue No. 3 hose cart wns on the ground , having gene seven blocks. No. 1 hose was seventy seconds later , and No. 1 hook and ladder still a minute later , having to ire nine blocks. No. 1 hose was delayed by one of the horses going back into his stall. The test was as fair as could be , the men being in bed at the time , and knowing nothing what ever of tno mtpuded move. The chief had no intimation of the proposed trial until he was awakened at u few minutes after midnight , so no extra preparations had been made. The alarm worked us perfectly us could be , and the time was very good. A system is not far from per fect when an alarm can be sent half a mile , and have a machines on the scene in two minutes and a half. A few bless ings were called down upon the heads of the instigators of the move , and then the department went back quietly to bed. List your property with Cooper & Judson , No. 120 Main st. Ask H.

There hadn't been a buar seen m Whltojcy county for a year until lust Sunday. Iho chicken roost of .Farmer Bob Gentry , who lives about eight miles north of Willlamsburg , had been twice raided by some wild animal , nnd Mr. Gentry , who examined the footprints , said it wns a bear. Ho and his neighbors took their guns anil dogs nnd hunted the moun tains for two or three days , but they found nothing. Thcv concluded that the bear was not pleased with the taste of the fowls in Whlteley and had emi grated to another county , where ho might nnd morsels morn Milted to the tusto of an ursine epicure. They gave up the hunt. Last Sunday wns baptizing day nt the New Saem | Baptist church which stands on the banks of South Fork creek , one mile south of Farmer Gentry's. The con gregation on that day was much larger than usual. In the mountains li baptism is a great event. Everybody goes. This xvas a big ono. There were twelve con verts , eight men and four women , to be Immersed. The preliminary services in the church lasted two hours , nnd the building was crowded. The llov. Mr. Bell preached one of his great sermons. Five persons came forward to the mourn er's bench. After the sermon all wont out to the baptism. The creek is very shallow in some places , and the preacher had to go quite a distance in order to so- euro a place deep enough for the immer sion. At a point where it entered a channel between two lulls his enterpris ing panshoncrs had built a dam across the stream , and the water was up to a man's waist. The hills on either side rose pretty steeply and were covered with trees and underbrush. At thu foot of each was a narrow piece of level green sward , on which the congregation assembled. Preacher Bell waded into the water , his parishioners on the bank began a hymn , and the lirst person was immersed. The services continued without hindrance until the seventh convert was reached. Mrs. Eliza Kbtill was the wife of one of the most provident farmers in Whitley county , and her confession of the Baptist faith had been a source of great pride to the good Mr. Bell and the members of his congregation. She was a largo woman , turning thoscalcof two hundred , and some of the wicked boys were very doubtful of Mr. Hell's ability to go through thn ceremony with her without accident. Thn woman wadetl into the water , anil the full chorus of the hymn of praise echoed back from the mountain bide , as she stood with her eyes closed ready to bo plungc'd under the water. Mr. Bell reached out his hands , and a woman on the bank uttered u shrieK : "Look there ! " she screamed , pointing to the hill bad ; of her on the south side of the stream. A large black animal was scrambling through tlio trees and over the rooks toward this crowd. "A bear ! " shouted the men. They had eft their weapons ni home. One of them licked up a boulder and threw it at the nimal , striking him on the Hank. Bruin growled and accelerated his approach. All the bapti/.ors lied in dismay. Those ho were on the same side of the water vitli the bear jumped into the stream , ind , gaining the other bank , ran towartl heir homes. Mr. Bell abandoned Mrs. Mill in the middle of the stream , and , caving his ooaton the bantc , joined the ugitives. Mrs. Kstill was sorely frightened , but ho couldn't faint in the middle of the ( ream. She attempted to reach the . here , but her dress , inllnted by thu water , made her progress slow , and be- ore she could do so the bear was upon ho bank. Here the animal .stopped to levour a hymn book , and while he was masticating it Mrs. Kstill reached dry ground , and , in spite of her stoutness , vas soon making rapid progress toward ionic. When it hail been ascertained that all of the congregation were safe , a do/on lion armrd themselves and .started out hunt the irreverent bear. They went Kiek to the scene of baptisal , but ho had rene , lirst having lunched oil'of the ivmn books that had been abandoned , \hd torn the minister's coat into little strips. From the creek the bear's foot steps led Into the hills , where his trail was lost in thti rocks. The dogs wore nit on the scent , and after a chase of live lours the bear was discovered on the ithcr side of the mountain in a thicket. The doirs ran him out , and a couple of jails dispatched him. He was brought to Willmriisuurg , and with the hide on he weighed -107 pounds , lie was one of the biggest bears over killed in these parts. THE TYPICAL AMERICAN , A Tiicillc Const Oraclii Says lie HUH Not Vet Appeared. San Francisco Chronicle : In a recent conversation with the prince of Wales , Mr , Blaine selected Chatincoy M. Depew as the typical American and Mr. Dopew in his turn pointed out Governor Alger , of Michigan , as the typical American. The truth is that neither was risrht , nor can the typical American be identified , for the very conclusive and satisfactory reason that ho does not exist. A few years ago the English were dis posed to accept the overdrawn and exag gerated portrait of a slab-sided , Inntcnn- jawed down east Yankee as a typical American , nnd ho has passed into his tory as Brother Jonathan. His picture still adorns the pages of the comic illus trated papers both nt homo and abroad , but it has come to bo well understood , even in Great Britain ; that it is pure car icature , and that if such a portrait could rcsemblo any Americans it would be only those from a small portion of the United States , a portion , too , where culture and elegance of manner and diction has reached as high a pitch as anywhere in the world. Later on Bret llarto gave to the world his John Oakhursts and John Hamlins , and then Europeans said : "Behold the typical American , the man born on the Atlantic coast , retaining his early educa tion , grace and suavity , but overlaid with tlio bronzed hue of the boundless prairies and lofty mountains of the great west and grown into a distaste for con ventionalities and Philistinism. " But wo know that the Oakhursts and Hamlins wore purely imaginary and were types of nothing that over did or could exist in America. Wo have had the typical south erner and the typical westerner and the typical Yankee. Across the pages of our literature have marched pikes and boos- lers and tar-heels and crackers ; wo have been inundated with floods of character sketches and dialect talcs ; wo have studied and philolo ized over Cable and Uncle Romusund MissMurfrccs ; wo have compared the natlvo of ono part of the country with the native of another , and still the typical American has not been discovered. America is entirely too cosmopolitan to furnish , as yet. any ono of her citi zens who can bo accepted us the typical American. Our population Is to-day moro diverse than when the thirteen colonies were settled. As a nation wo are a unit , but as a peopio , in the eth nological scnso , wo have not yet com menced to exist. And why should we ? No race was ever formed in so short a time as hus elapsed slnco the settlement ot America , to any nothing of thu con- slant accessions to our population from every country in the world. bo in-1,000 years from iiowwo shnll h Tc begun to develop the typical American , ' but not short of that time. Wo can point the prince of Wales to tvucs of certain American traits and cap abilities , and of thcso Governor Alger is a ( rood example , notably of the oppor tunities for advancement which our country oilers to young men of energy and Industry , but that is as far as wo can go. As for the thoroughly typical Amer- can , he Is non-existent. Mr. and Mrs. Cleveland. St. Louis Globe-Democrat , Oct. ! ) : The president is portly , liideod.nml llorid , the iloridity not being given adequate ex pression in the photographs , and there fore deceiving people Into believing that his portraits are flattering. His smile has a heartiness about It which scorns in fectious , and the impression is that if * ho was not hampered by his position ho'd just cut loose and bo a jolly good follow. Ho apparently pays little attention to his wife , but his apparent inattention is that of a man who is fond of his wife and feels that she can take uaro of herself. Though his size bo great , his move ments are not in the least elephantine ; In fact , there is an elasticity about his person , as m his manner , which makes people feel that ho is not vain. He is a olain , ordinary man , raised to a high ollico by the popular voice. Mrs. Clove- hind is a lady of equipoise' . She walks decidedly , yet graccftilly.and is not at all affected with the painfully apparent pre occupation which is hablo to bo mistaken by people In prominent places as solf- posscssiou. There is nothing about her suggestive of the person who forcedly looks ono way to create the imprcsssion that there is nothing interesting in tlio other quarter. She faces the crowd as .she faces her husband , frankly nnd ingenuously , and her face scorns to bo peculiarly mobile. Her smile is a revelation of lady-liko ploustirc , and the suggestion in tlio sparkling eyes is that it is a pity the ob server cannot have her thoughts and im pressions in plain language. Shu is ono of tlio people who are instinctively singled out as being good company. As H ) her beauty , poetical pens hayo touched upon it , and critics have dis sected it , but the result of it all is nothing , only that the beauty is there , indefinable , intangible as far as description is con cerned. Her beauty is a thought rather than a plan in which every curve is de scribed. She walked down the steps by her husband's side as she would have walked down the stairs with him at home , with no ono to observe hor. Ho doffed his hat to the crowd , and she smiled an accompaniment. The mayor , dressed in simple tnstc , with his lady , also attired in modest raiment , fol lowed after , and at a remark the four paused and in the most friendly , un constrained manner in the world , dis cussed some little point , just as if there were not a thousand people with eyes fastened upon them.
