Dcntli of Mrs. lIllltiH. Died at Don City , on the evening of the 17th , of malarial fever , Mrs. U. C. Hlllas , aced 41 years , wife of a prominent business man of that place. Over ten years ago MM. Illllao was a victim of malpractice and after trying every known remedy and submitting to many painful operations , she was told by the best physicians that her case- was hope less. This sad decision did not extinguish the sunlight of her disposition and DO word of sensurc escaped her lips for those who wcro responsible for her misfortune. To her "Life was real , life was earnest. " So kept her place In the family and social circles and her homo was a favorite resort of both the old and young. Her Ufa was full of good deeds , many of which were unknown until after her death , and her eclf-sacrificing chn&tian spirit loft its Impress on all who knew her. Her death was most edifying and consoling to her family and friends. Her funeral took place on Sunday morning , from the Catholic church at Dunlnp , Kov. Father McCormlck officiating. There never was a more generous tribute paid to woman's real worth or more genuine sorrow manifested outside of * family ties.

It Is rather doubtful whether or not the saloon men will have the necessary nerve to open their pluco of business to-day , after getting such a dose last Monday morning Tor keeping open on Sunday. Chief Luc.is says he will continue as ho has begun , and will arrest the law breaker In every instance. This docs away with the Sunday saloon , nnd is soon as .Mayor Itohrer returns from his Missouri trip , there will bo some fun for the iquor dealers. Some time ago he Insisted .hut the saloon men should pay n monthly Hue of ? 25 to the city , under penalty of be ing shut Up. They paid the required amount for one month , but they were shortly after ward closed up by the Law and Order league , which sn disgusted them that they vowed they would not p.iy the mayor another cent us ho could give them no protection. They liavo thus far kept their word , ana the city treasury is running low. The mayor kept hoping they would repent , but all in vain , and he will now proceed to make good his statement that the saloons must "put up or shut up. " Ho has given the quor dealers an nmplo opportunity to come to time with the cash , and has decided that they do not Intend to pay a cent. The only course now left for him Is to give the chief of police orders to close them up , and plainly prove that he means just what ho sa.\s anil that his order was not n mere "bluff. " If Chief Lucas Is to arrest those who insist on running saloons to-day ho should BOO to it that all are served alike , rich and poor. It is claimed that last Sunday only a few out of the many were molested. Some weie or dered to close , and on agreeing to do so no more attention was paid to them , and as soon u H the ofJcer's back was turned they pro ceeded to business. There should bo no such ioolIimiicH'i. What is good for one is good for all. Of Council Bluffs Lots at Aucl. : n.

For several mornings Utoly the proprie tors ot the Conner book store have been un able to find their Omaha Herald , although the carrier boy insisted that ho had loft it as usual. The only conclusion to bo arrived at was that some one r."as stealing it , and Cap tain O'Crien , of the merchants' police , was put to work on the case. Yesterday morning ho secreted himself in the vicinity , and the carrier was instructed to mark the paper so that it could bo Identified. Ths plan worked very well and the thief was observed to deftly abstract the paper from the door and coolly walk away with it. At this juncture the "cop" nailed him , and shortly afterward he was taken before 'Squire Schurz for trial. Ho javo ; the name of Charles A. Gagor , and said that he WHS married and was In the em ploy of a leading florist of the city. He was lined W and costs , and experienced considec- able dilliculty in securing that amount. This hnuit of stealing morning papers has made considerable trouble for the various nows- paner olllces , and they have determined to "cinch" the offenders whenever they are caught. Papers nro furnished nt a very low price , and there is no excuse for the petty thieves who make a pr.ictico of stealing them. In this case the culprit got oft very easily , but others of his Hue who do not take timely warning , will have to take their dose full strength. J. G. Tipton has a number ot bar gains in residences on the installment plan. The Hallway CrnssincH. Since the change of grade on Sixth street the railway companies have neglected to put In suitable crossings over their tracks. This has caused a great deal of complaint among the citizens In that vicinity , and they have sought redress nt the hands of the city coun cil. The matter should receive prompt at tention. The railroad companies are very in different to the wishes of this city , nnd should bo brought up with a round turn. They have received almost everything that they have asked , but show no disposition to return any favors. No matter how small tlio desired change , it requires very decisive action on the part of the council to secure It. Some time ago the council ordered the ob structions under the Indian creek railroad bridges removed , but it required saveral visits of the city marshal , and the serving of innumerable papers , to bring the attention of the interested parties to the matter. Tills Indifference causes u great deal of needless annoyance , and the council is under no obli gations to bundle the companies with silk gloves. The council is supposed to have those matters under Its own control , and should assert Its authority , Instead of allow ing tliLso domineering corporations to sub ject the citizens to whatever annoyances they may desire.

Globe-Democrat : ' "What does it cost to como to congress ? " said : i veteran representative , repeating my query. "Well , there would bo HOI ) and more different replies from as many congress men. On an average I should say that it costs a year's wil.iry , or half of the salary for tlio term , that is to say , * o,0H ( ) . "Does your estimate cover the cost of senatorbhipsV "No , indeed. If wo count in senators .the average would run a great deal higher. By 'member' we mean a mem ber of the house of representatives. Some members got elY with little or no expenditure of money ; others are bled from tha word 'go. ' Those from the largo cities , as a rule , find the congres sional toy and their pretty title of 'hon orable' most expensive , but it is not always so. A man's ability and general fitness are minor considerations. Long public service countssomothing in miti gating the damages , but a long purse is the most effective campaign document the country over. Even where n man has no opposition he has to come down with the cash to buy oil for campaign machinery. Take the case of Amos Cuminingti , the bright hewspupor man who represents the Sixth New York district. The nomination of his party came to him unsought nnd on a silver salvor. It was what wo call 'a aoad buro thing' a nomination equivalent to election but , all the sumo. Amos had to spend probably $ ( ! .0M ! before ho draw a month's salary as a member of con gress. " "For whatV" "Oh , for many things. For assess ment by campaign committee * ; for the maintenance and equipment of clubs and other political organi/ations ; for benefits , balls , picnics and excursions ; for banner * and banner-raising ; for charitiot to the poor and needy of the district , and to boats and bummers whom it is impossible to escape. Of course some of tneso expenses might bo avoided , but not by a good-hcartod fol low who likes to bo liked , who accepts no favors that ho cannot reciprocate , and who would mix freely with his con- Htituoiits. Yet the cosUf congressional honors to a man like Cgmmiiigs , in a district like his , is small compared to the outlay required of men like Belmont - mont and Blsss , of Now York ; Bayno , of I'ittsburg ; Bingham , of Philadel phia ; MorhO , of Boston , and Foltou , of San Francisco. In addition to being good follows and high livers they are reputed to bo men of wealth , and must pay to sustain their reputation whether they value it or not. 1 doubt whether any one of those gentlemen , or of n dozen others that I might name , gets to Washington without spending two years' salary for his footing , and the bleeding goes on from session through session , so long as they are here. Yet every one of these members has an experience - porionco and an acquaintance with methods in legislation which should yield him a biennial dividend in a cer tificate of election clear of cost. It is to bo said , however , that after a few years here a fellow learns to avoid many of the money traps that besot the congressional aspirant and the novice in congressional life. Politics are like any other game most expensive to a beginner , although a beginner may now and then win a big pot on n small stake. "No , I do not call'William ' L. Scott n beginner. Ho probably paid a bigger price than any of "ub for his whistle , but ho knew what ho yfns about , and footed the damages like a little man. When ono millionaire sita down to capture a district conceded to the opposition , and has another millionairens his opponent , the circulation ot national bank notes is very active. Twenty-five thousand dollars lars is a reasonable guess of the amount that Bill Scott may have expended legit imately , as campaign expenses go , in such an undertaking. I know men who have spent as much nnd then failed. Just lot a known millionaire take a re publican nomination in ono of the Now York districts with a top-heavy demo cratic majority , and ho will find it easy enough to got rid of a year's interest on his fortune. Thorndiko Rico and Larry Jerome are not millionaires , but they could throw some light on the subject. " "What about the men who read their title clear , term after term , without much oxponsol1" "There are such congressmen , but I must Bay that tlwy.aro 'growing fewer every year. At the head of the list EXPECTED MB. B. T. N. , NORTH PLATTE , Neb. Dear Sir. We have the goods you mention and have expressed to you to-day the the samples you want.

COUNCIL BLUFFS CARPET CO. stand old war horses like Kollcy and Hnndnll , Holmnn and Coxnnd acknowl edged party loaders like Heed and Car lisle , who have become more valuable to their dist-icts than their districts are to them , and who can afford to snap their fingers , not only at the strikers and camp followers * , but at local bosses. Generally , howovor. the men who find running for congress the least expensive nro from the rural dis tricts of .the south aud west , where politics has not become so much a matter - tor of money. In the south particularly , oratorical gifts , or 'talent' of ono sorter or another , goes about as far as money , and a war record or personal popularity goes farther than either 'talent' or money. Then if a southern or westerner or western youngster manages to make a hit , however , small , in his first term state or _ local jirido is very apt to make him his own successor. Members from agricultural districts with an oyc on a second term , have a great advantage in constituencies appeasable and purchas able with garden seeds and public docu ments , which are not a- legal tender m oug city politicians. But the trail of the money serpent is beginning to bo visible in the Fouth , too. There is a member from Georgia whoso first election cost him only S iM ) , and whoso lust cost him $2,000 ; and there is another from Louisiana who spent nothing to get here the first time , and was out of pocket $ .r,0K ( ) the last time he ran. " Suppose n poor man gets a nomina tion , how IH ho to meet his assossmciits and pay the costs generally of election V" "Now you are asking a question that every man must answer for himself.

' Now York Sun : Hiram Casf , a farm hnnil in the employ of Abncr Whitney of Clifton township , Pa. , had a thrilling iixporionce. Since tlio latter part of May Farmer Whitney has been pastur ing a droye of largo steers in a fifty- acre field on the mountain about thrcc- quartora of a mile from his house. The lot is separated from the main part of the farm by a strip of woodland , and there is a forest on the south and west sides of the field. There are four good springs in the pasture , and all the at tention that has been paid to the steers since they wore turned out was to feed salt to them once a week. Owing to some neglect no salt had boon given to the cattle in moro than a fortnight , and last Wednesday Farmer Whitney told Cnss to take a pailful of it up there and feed it to the steers. The moment the cattle saw Cass ou ter the Hold they galloped toward him at the top of their speed , and , before ho had time to place the salt on the ground in little heaps so that they could all got a lick , the greedy , Jong-horned nni- inulH completely surrounded him. They were so hungry for salt that half a do/.en of them tried to stick their noses in the pail at once , and Cass had to kick them in the jaws and yell at thorn to keep thorn from goring him and trampling on him. While ho was doing all ho could to make a passage between the uneasy brutes , the largest stper in the herd rushed up from behind with his head down , and , in his eager search for salt on the ground , he knocked Cuss's foot from under him. Cass lost his balance and tipped over backward , sitting squarely down on the steer's head between his long horns , and dropping the pail ns ho did so. Up wont the frightened steer's head , and Cass , fearing that ho would bo thrown , grabbed a horn in each hand. The steer then started to run like wildfire , and Cass clung to the horns for dear life. The other brutes became Frightened at the strnngospcctncloand , with heads and tails up , they ran bel lowing after the affrighted fugitivethat also bellowed at almost every leap. Cuss's legs prevented the runaway steer from seeing ahead very well , and three times in his terrific circuit around' the field the steer cnmo within a few inches of running his head against trees. The hired man is a strong follow , and gen erally courageous , but ho said that lie had never before in his life boon so thoroughly terrified , and ho know that , while ho was in danger _ of having his brains dashed out against a tree at any moment , ho would bo trmpled to death by the moving herd behind him if ho throw himself from the steer's head. On ho hung with all his might , pray ing that the steer soon \yould stop , and round and round the field the whole drove dashed UKO u herd of frightened bison. At the end of what Cass said seemed to bo half an hour , but what ho supposed was in reality not more that ton min utes , the steer panted as though his wind was giving out , slackened his speed a little , and dashed straight toward a strong brush fence next to the woodland. IIo leaped part way ever it , became entangled in the mass of limbs and sapplings , nnd fell unon his right side , whore ho lay struggling and kick ing long enough for Cass to Bprlng into the thicket at a safe distance from the slinrp horns of the scared nnd half-ex hausted boast. The other cattle did not follow the fugitive steer , stopping in their mad dash just as ho foil into the brush. Cnss said that ho was as weak as a cat for several minutes , and that his nerves were unstrung from fear and the energy ho had expended in clinging to the steer's horns. It was the most peril ous position ho was ever in , but ho was not permanently injured , nnd in the course of half an hour the steer was uono the worse for his long run. A.
