When he arrived at the edge he forgot to stop , and wagon , horses , and all went down twenty feet into the creek. Aside from breaking a few straps and the coupling polo of the wagon , there was no damage done. Judging from Smith's personal appearance , he must have landed upon his nose. Ho was lucky to escape so easily. GIFTS TO OUIl TRADE ! Until January 1st wo oiler the public the very best values in every department of our immense stock.

A Spicy Letter From California The Tnle of a KattlcMiuKo I'olleo Com I DoliiRs Minor MiMillon mill 1'ei'HonalH. 1'nre Water. Through the courtesy of Manager Blrkinbine a representative of the BKI : was taken over the city and bhown the workings of the water works s.\ stem , -and inasmuch as the facts exhibited are of interest to the general public they are herein given. When the waterworks company took the contract to furnish this city with an adequate supply of pure water from the Missouri river the public thought the the thing could not be done. It was not suppo-ed possible to take the water af the "Big Muddy" and cleanse it so as to make it lit for use. A scheme was llrst devised to purify this water. No artificial means could be employed which would do the work and it was de cided to do it by natural means i. e. pre cipitation and evaporation. The law that water will purify itself by llowinga , certain distance was fully and admira bly demonstrated. The place at which the water was to betaken from the river was located about a mile above the pumping works. A conduit , or ditch , wa.s dug connecting these two points. This is large enough to carry the full supply , even should the consumption bo much grater than it now is. At the head of the conduit stands the conduit engine , the pumping capacity of which is 15,000 gallons per minute. The suction pipe extends into the channel of the river and only ' 'live water" is taken up by the engine. On account of the treacherous banks , which are liable to slough ott at any place and without warning , it was impossible to put a permanent building here , and the house which covers this portion of the works is of the most temporary charac ter. It is of wood , constructed in sec tions , and hooked together so that , should the necessity occur , the whole thing can be taken down in a very short time and placed at some other point. A lake of considerable si/.o is being formed near the pumping work's. Here the water received from the conduit comes to a stand still and piecipitation is very rapid. From here the surface water passes into a "pump mill , ' ' from which it is taken to the two reservoirs situ ated south of the works. These contain (1,000,000 ( gallons each. From here the motor is pumped through mains into the immense supply reservoir in Prospect park , with a capacity of 4,000,000 gallons lens , from where by gravity pressure it is distributed to consumers all over the city. It will bo observed that at the lake , the well , and the settling r.eser- voirs the surface water only is taken. Thus the sediment is left behind and when necessary it can b'o taken away. By this method of purilication the con sumer gets pure water. From a personal inspection of many of the cities situated on the largo rivers of the west , as well as the east , the writer is safe in saying that no better water is had anywhere , except it be taken from the potsdam sandstone by artesian wells ; and in the matter of purity the comparison is favorable to the water wo have. The "works" contain three engines and four boilers which have a capacity of 7,000,000 gallons per day. As the present consump tion is only 1.700,000 gallons it wlr- bo seen that all the reasonable piVsiljRi. lies of the future as to the growth of the city , etc. , are amply covered. About twenty-live miles of pipe are'"now laid , over 'one mile having been jmt dowiui during the past year. Two hundred and one hydrants are distributed throughout the city , and the best and most complete fire protection is secured. Every pipe lias been tested rt 300 pounds pressure , which is more tin n double the amount required to do the work they have yet had to do. At u recent test of u hydrant on Park avenue , the register showed a pressure of 135 pounds , which is equivalent to an altitude of 800 Tins demonstrates the sulliciency of the system , for every house within the city limits can be reached , with pressure for its full protection. Now the reader may ask , "For all this are not the water-works company re ceiving ample pay ? " In the matter of rates , yes. The people are paying all they can afford and enough to get the best service ; but the company have not , as yet , received a cent in dividends. The establishment of such u system looks to the future for its pay , but it will be some time yet before this company receive even the average per cent , re- uli/.ed from other investments of a pri vate character involving the amount of capital hero invested.

The following extracts from a lettoi to friends in this city , from one of tin many credulous invalids who hav < sought relief and a renewal of forme : _ health in the much extolled atmosphere of California , although not original ! ; designed lor publication , will furnish i few facts to the readers of the Biii : tha may be of interest and future use : "Dear L I am getting rested and i little used to dust and climate , but i nearly got mo down at first. I will not got the good I wished fron the climate , for I despise all I've seoi west of Kansas. Nothing but glarini sun and sand heaps , with Hies as numcr ous as the grains of sand , by day , am cold and "skeetors" by night. Uncl Joe and others used to say , "Can't tuk re cold in California. Lie on the grouin anywhere. " You can Ho , not on th Ih ground , but on sand , and the other par is one of the worst lies over told , know , myself , and have been told repeatedly poatedly by Californians , that one take id cold easier here , and it lusts longei isa than anywhere else. a Wo got here when what they term v- "norther , " hud just sot in. The win cornea through thc.pass in the mom ne tains , north , comes over the desert , an the air is full of sand , us you over sa' ' It , of snow. A man can't drive facin | these "northers. " They lust aboi three days. The nil"become ? hot , and everything burning up. We have seen scon lwu.in Iho three weeks that'we have been here. There is no place on earth that is landed like California. li is HOMO prin cipally by real estate agents. This plaeo. lias one dry good" store , two gro ceries , one bakery , and forty real estate agents. 'They ' meet you at the train , most large-hearted fellows "We don't wait for introduction * in California. " take you riding , and show you their list. \ ( you say , "No money , " they say , "Good day. " The only good that can come to any body here' , is the constant outdoor life thai he can lead in a nfly atmosphere. Hut it N bilious here , and in the sum mer the days arc exceedingly hot , and the nights are very cool. I can see little health in such extremes in twen ty-four hours. 1 am going to Los An geles in the morning , to get f-omething for my throat. I am nearly choked all ' the li'ino. H is barely possible that a few years in this climate might do you good , but I will not influence you to come. If I was well I would not stay hero twelve hours longer. Perhaps I have given you the dark side. T wish it had been given me. then I would not have been so disap pointed. I think that if you can settle well in Kansas or Iowa you had butter do to. But if you want to see this coun try , now is u good opportunity.Vo pay $112 per month for a room and J ! ) per week for board. It seems to mo that there is more sick ness here than in any placu of its size in Indiana. Not simply invalids who have come here , but the stout and apparently able-bodied. Some of our friends left pleasant homes in the east , and are liv ing here without comforts and wishing for the homes they have left , yet pos sessing hero an abundance of climate , for they have forty steps of stairs be tween earth and home , and have to "climb it" for daily food. Write soon. L. There is certainly food for reflection in the above letter , and parties who in tend to dispose of their stock of this world's goods in this part of the moral vineyard , and seek that priceless boon , health , in that 'wonderful Eden"oa the Pacific coast , will do well to pursue their investigations a little farther before making a change. There are many sec tions of the country that arc now being "boomed" for all they are worth , and ncarlv every not thus spread catches its full share of "suckers. " It is but a few days since a covered wagon drawn by a yoKc of antiquated oxen passed through the city in an easterly direction. A few months ago the same wagon , drawn by four line mules , passo'il along the same road in the opposite direction. On the outward trip the promised land was soon in anticipation , through the eyes of the real estate agent , but on the re turn they had seen it in reality for themselves. On general principles , the real estate man is doubtless a truthful and honor able personage , but when it comes to describing a tract of land , of which ho has the agency , his veracity may bo compared to that of a deacon in a horse trade. But the truth must bo known sooner or later , and Iowa in general , and Council BlulTs in particular , plainly demonstrates to their citizens that il they wish to enjoy every advantage , natural and artificial , they should re main whore they are and "let well enough alone.

This day has been set apart officially as a day of thanksgiving and praise. This docs not mean that wo shall bo thankful officially or that wo shall ren der our praise through our officials. It does mean , incidentally of course , that the average business man would forget that he had anything to bo thankful for and would loose his voice for "praise" entirely if a day were not set apart as a reminder. Men are rather peculiar. A horse gets along the year round bearing its burdens day after day eating its meals , when its fortunate enough to get any ; sleeping when its day's work is done ; and taking little interest in the matters that otherwise pertain to it. It recognizes no responsibility ; obeys no master but its appetite and the whip and finally lies down to dio. Again man is peculiar. Ho isn't a horse , and yet his life is somewhat after the same order. It is safe to assume that many > eoplo will cause the necessity that } orces them to lay aside the business of the day. A horse gladly welcomes a playday. No , a man isn't a horso. Other men never consider the serious side of lifo and recognize the fact of respon sibility to any power higher than their stomachs. A monkey does the sumo. But man is neither a horse nor a mon key and yet , what a similarity. Have you anything to bo thankful for ? Look over the past year and sec that. Have you been prospered in business11 ! Bo thankful. Have you been blessed with healthy Be thankful. Have your family and yourself been sick , and are you burdened with the bills of the doc tor and the lawyer ? Bo thankful that you are not dead.
