The District Court Convenes.
The August term of the district court
is now opened , : tnd has fairly started in
on the long list of cases to be ground
out before the opening of the Novem
ber term. Tuesday morning at 10
o'clock was the time set tor opening the
term , but Judge Loofbourow was not on
hand , and the matter was postponed
until yesterday morning. At that time
court was opened in the usual form , but
his honor being still absent , an ad
journment was taken until 2 o'clock
in the afternoon. At that hour the
court took his seat , and in u very few
minutes the routine work of the lirst
day of the term was in full blast.
There nro now twenty-eight prisoners
in the county jail , tiwalting the action
of this body , besides a large number
who are out on bail , and several origi
nal informations will also be brought to
the attention of the grand jury. The
calendar was gone through , and eve v-
thlng put in smooth running oroer.
The remainder of this week will bo devoted -
voted to the hearing of equity causes.
Next Monday the petit jury will bo
called. There arc (170 ( cases on the
docket 82 criminal , 2 < tl equity , and
347 law causes. Trial notices have boon
served in sixty-three equity and ninety
law causes.
The court empanelled the grand jury ,
but a legal question then came up that
stopped all operations in that direction.
At the last session of the legislature an
act was passed allowing the east end of
the county to hold grand jury sessions ,
in connection with the term of the dis-
U'iet court at that place. Among the
members of the present grand jury are
several from the eastern part of the
county , and a question of their eligibil
ity now comes up. If they are to have
a grand jury at Avoca , it'is argued that
they have no place on a jury in Council
BlulTs. The court took the matter under
advisement , and will pass upon it to-day.
In the meantime the men .summoned to
servo arc en joying a vacation.

As Mr. A. Louie was returning from
Lake Man awn Tuesday evening ho was
met by three men in a wagon near the
bridge , about half way between the
lake and the city. Two of the party ap
peared to bo sober , hut the third fellow
was evidently raving drunk. As Mr.
Louie passed the wagon this third party
gave vent to a volley of obscene lan
guage. Mr. Louie paid no attention to
the insult , but kept on his way. The
trio had boon left in the roar not more
than fifty yards , when the drunken man
alighted from the wagon nnd , drawing
a revolver , fired two shots at Mr. Louie ,
the first ono passing uncomfortably
close to his head. Mr. Louie whipped
up his horse and soon got away from the
roughs. He saw a pool of blood in the
road a little further on , and looking
around to ascertain the cause , ho dis
covered a bull lying at the side of the
road writhing in the agonies of death
from a bullet wound. Mr. Louie told
the authorities of the occurrence as
soon as ho arrived in the city.

How III ; ; Money In Aliiilo
Money safely invested is the greatest
'money maker" in the world. Through
thfs process , investing the money of de
positors , banking institutions become
Iveulthy , while the ' 'depositor" gets
ittlo return from his money. Is there
not some wnv by which these legitimate
earnings can come back to the "de
positor. " where they properly belong ?
Wo answer , there is. The National
Building , Loan and Protective union ,
of Minneapolis , Minn. , has solved the
H'oblom and devised the best scheme of
'banking" known to the world. Here
s the plan :
A person subscribes for from ono to
ono hundred shares of stock. Tlieso
shares are $100 each and mature in GO
nonths. Ho pays as follows :
Membeiship fee $ > ,00
Monthly payment , COo per mouth (00 (
months ) 30.00
Quarterly payment , lioo per quarter ( 'M
quarters ) 5.00
Total $411.00
Thus at the end of live years ( CO
months ) the certificate of shares having
matured , is worth $100 , showing a hand
some profit of $57.00 on every share ho
takes. Don't say this earning is im
possible , for it is being demonstrated
every day of the year.
Now , suppose a subscriber wishes to
secure ft loan of $1,000. Ho subscribes
"or thirteen shares of stock nnd must bo
a member at least six months prior to
making the loan. Ho pays as follows :
In fifty-four months , quarterly in
stallments $ 871.20
Add eighteen quarterlies uty.li5 each C8.50
Attorney fees 10.00
Advanced payments durinK first six
months 70.80
Total $1,019.00
His thirteen shares are now worth
their face value , $1,800 , which leaves
him a not profit of $281. All will agree
that this is a better return on money
than can bo secured by any other plan.
The character of its investments makes
it absolutely safe.
Although this organization is less
than three years old , its shareholders
are numbered in nearly every state in
the union. There are now several in
this city. Among thorn nro Thomas
Officer , James R. Rico , Harry McGee ,
Taylor Woolsoy and others , whether
you wish to either deposit or secure a
loan , you should investigate this plan
fully. Johnston & Van Patten , 8:5 : Main
street , will furnish you all necessary in
formation.

THE POOLOFB.ETHESDA
It Has Ilcen Discovered nt Ijast AVitli
Considerable Certainty.
Pall Mall Gazette : "Wo nave gen
erally an announcement to make , but
not often of so much importance as that
of this day. It is the discovery of the
pool of Bethosda. " So writes Mr. Waiter -
tor Bosunt , in the Quarterly Statement ,
issued by the Palestine Exploration
Fund. lie is jubilant , as all Palestine
enthusiasts are Jikoly to bo , that a
vexed question in regard to a site is ap
parently sottlcd forovcr.
Bethesda is mentioned only * by the
evangelist. In the fifth chapter of Ilis
gospel John says : "Now there is at
Jerusalem by the sheep market [ or
gate ] a pool which is called in the He
brew tongue , having five porches. " The
word translated "pool" in the author
ized version is given by some authori
ties as "swimming oath , " and the
phrase "pool by the sheep market" ie
possibly bettor rendered "shcop pool. "
Euscbius explains the occasional red
color of the water of this "sheep
pool" as being a trace ol
the carcasses of sheep washed
in it before sacrifice ; hence the name.
There were , according to the evangel
ist , five porches , or porticoes around
the pool. These , Dr. Goikie thinks ,
charity built for the accommodation of
sufferers. It scorns to us , however ,
equally probable that they formed part
of the original scheme for the bath.
Five porticoes would boom to imply a
pentagonal structure , but this is by no
means essential. A rectangular pool ,
with a portico on every side , divided by
ono across the middle , would answer
the description. "Bothesda" ( a Hebrew -
brow name which was very probably in
vented by John ) may menu either
"house of morcy" or "tho place of the
pouring forth" of water.
At the northeast of modern Jeru
salem , close to St. Stephen's Gate
stands the church of St. Anno. At th <
time of the Crimean war it was a ruined
nosquo , but when the French came
nto possession of it they restored the
church and handed it over to the Al
gerian monks. It is near the church of
it. Anne , and in connection with oxen-
( ( lions made around it , it was that the
cul pool of Bethesda has re
cently been discovered by Ilerr
Conrad Schlck. There is a
courtyard to the northwest of the
church , which loads through a newly
opened passage into another courtyard
some fifty foot square. At the north of
his latter court yard there was at onetime
time a small church. Beneath the floor
of this some time church are vaults , and
, hrough the floor of those vaults a cls-
crn is reached , cut into the rock n
lopth of thirty foot. The cistern is a
> ortton of the original Pool of Bothesda.
There is still water in it , but it is diffi
cult to say whence it comes. This , in
jrlof , is Ilerr Schick's report of April 6.
Since then further excavations have
jecn mndo , nnd ho has prosecuted more
extended inquiries. A twin pool has
jcon discovered. Further examination
will bring more details to light ; but it
may bo now fairly assumed that the two

Philadelphia Press : "Have you the
tiundle I sent hoio this morning ? " a
ood-looking young woman asked as she
rushed into Cox's laundry atThirtconth
ind Oxford streets last Friday morning.
She was greatly excited and almost
breathless. The young woman was
Mrs. II. Reed , who explained that she
had sent $1,000 worth of diamonds to
the laundry in n bundle of soiled
clothes. Mrs. Cox told her that the
driver , Charles Roberts , had not yet returned -
turned to the office. The excited young
\\oinun became palo as slio received
this information , and could scarcely
restrain hersolf. She paced the Horn *
for an hour and a half , anxiously wait
ing to secure her bundle again.
The driver finally arrived , and ns
each bundle came from the wagon her
eyes glistened. She quickly tore open
the bundle marked with her name , and
n an old felt hat were sparkling diamond
mend studs , diamond breastpins , nnd
diamond earrings and finger ringn ,
which she afterward said were worth
$1,000. The laundry girls stood as if
transfixed , with open mouths nud hun
gry eyes as the diamonds wore display
ed. Mrs. Reed said that she was from
Now York , and had hidden the hat
with the diamonds in her soiled clothes
for safety. She wont away with her
face beaming.
A Itnsli Prediction Fulfilled.
Scribner's Magazine : When the
roads forming the line between Phila
delphia and Hnrrisburg Pennsylvania ,
were chartered in 1833 , and town meet
ings wore hold to discuss their practi
cability , the Hon. Simon Cameron ,
while making a speech in advocacy of
the measure , was so far carried away
by his enthusiasm as to make the rash
prediction that there wore persons
within the sound of his voice who would
live to sco a passenger take his break
fast in Hnrribburg and his supner in
Philadelphia on the same nay. A friend
of his on the platform said to him after
ho had finished , "That's all very well ,
Simon , to toll the boys , but you and I
aro.do such infernal fools as to believe
it. " They have both lived to travel the
distance in a little over two hours.

Texas Sittings : A Now York man
visited the family of a relative in the
country , whore ho was not a welcome
guest by any means. After the visitor
had spent a couple of weeks , his much-
disgusted host said ono morning nt the
breakfast table :
"Dear cousin , don't you think your
family will miss you painfully ? You
ought not to leave thorn alone so much. "
"By Jove , that's so , " exclaimed the
Now Yorker ; "I'll telegraph them to
come right on bore. "
