IlcMmi of tliu Delegate" .
A portion of the Council HlulTn delegation
to the deep harbor convention at Denver have
returned. P. C. IJo Vol nnd F. II. Hill re
turned Friday. Secretary Xoverly , of the
board of trade , J. M. Oursler , and II. W.
Tllton , of Tin : HEC , returned yesterday.
J. J. Hrown remains In Denver for some
time yet. He expects to bo Joined this week
by J. N. Cnsady.
The Council Hluffs representative1 } at the
convention accomplished moro even than
thuy expected. The establishment of ono or
moro deep harbors on thu Texan coast does
not alTccl Iowa as directly us It docs other
states icprcii'nted at this convention. It
being a national movement , however , nnd
ono which Iowa's representatives In congress
will bo called upon to consider. It is essen
tial that lownns should bu posted in regard
to it. The advantages of such Increased
commercial facilities nto claimed to be so far
reaching that Iowa itself will share to some
extent.
Another reason why Council Uluffs de
sired representation was that Mich it grow
ing , cntci prising city should bo heard from
In every such great gathering of business
men. It was no little task for Council llluffs
to nialto its presence felt in a gathering of
this magnitude and importance , but its llttlo
squad succeeded.
The chief move madn by the delegates
from this city was to secure the position of
permanent secretary for .Mr.overly , of the
board of trade. Thcro were a number of
oilier Iowa cities represented , among them
DCS Moincs and Davenpoit. In the Iowa
caucus , Mr.overly was solidly endorsed by
the entire Iowa delegation. Ho was nlso
generously backed by Omaha and the Ne
braska delegation , Council IJluffs nnd Iowa
In turn standing by the choice of Governor
Tliaycr for permanent chairman. In thu
committee on permanent organisation , con
sisting ol three from each states thcro was a
sharp contest for the position of secretary.
The outcome was that it was deemed best to
have a secretary who lived where the con
vention was being hold. Mr.overly wus
honored by being made his assistant.
The next convention will bo held at Topeka -
peka , and the following ono at Omaha. Such
Ls thu present arrangement. When the con
vention is hold nt Omaha , It is probable that
the secretaryship will bo given to Council
UluIVs , Nebraska having got the chief honor
at the Denver convention , and it being moro
convenient to have a secretary chosen from
the immediate locality of the convention.
Another interesting struggle In which the
Council HluITs delegates took part was In
the committee on resolutions. Mr. F. II.
Hill , of the Knipkio hardware company , was
onu of the thrco representatives from Iowa
on tills committee. Sceictiiryoverly , was
made the secretary of this committee , lloth
worked hard to defeat any and all attempts
to favor any particular location for the har
bor improvements. There was a strong pres
sure brought to get this committee to so re
port to the convention as to favor certain
schemes , but it was in vain. Tnero were
some big real estate interests which cropped
mt , but the committee refused to allow any
of those to cree in.
Council Uluffs got quite extensively adver-
.Iscd by its representatives at tins conven-
; ion. Maps and circulars presenting the nu
merous advantages of the city were scattered
among the delegates , and placed in all the
chief gathering places. These have some
fruit. Strangers from various p.irts of the
country would pick out the blue badges of
the Council UluiTs delegation , and inalco in
quiries' which were gladly answered.
Ono liuds occasionally a face familiar to
Council Bluffs. At Wells , Fargo & Co.'s
oflico in Denver Mr. Hay A. Wells greeted
Ills old Council UluiTs friends most cordially.
IIo was forseveral years traveling auditor of
; ho American Express company , with head
quarters in Council Hluff.s. Hccently ho has
ueen agent and assistant superintendent of
Lho Wells-Fargo express at Denver. A day
or tXvo ago ho received notice of his appoint
ment by W. II. Hancock to the position of
general superintendent of the company's busi
ness for lines east of Chicago , with hcad-
piarters in that wonderful metropolis. This
will bo gratifying news , indeed , to his many
friends hero. Air. Wells is quite young for
so important a position , being but twenty-
eight years of ago. His experience nnd ability
will doubtless prove amply sufliciont.
Among others located nt Denver Is
J. M. Urownoll , who used to bo Pull
man ticket uRcnt at Council Hluffs.
IIo is now general manager for Denver's
great hotel , the Windsor , which was head
quarters for the delegates. Mr. Urownoll
takes great pains to make a Denver visit
pleasant to all the guests , but thcro is an
extra squee/o and a llttlo wanner grasp for
a Council BlutTs or Omaha hand.
Ex-Ciovernor Manning who at ono time
was so near and yet so far from being the
congressional representative from this dis
trict , is now located at Denver. Ho nnd his
Linilly have rooms at the Albany , and judg
ing from the fact that his hotel bill is * 2CO a
month , without extras , it appears that a po
sition ns railway attorney must bo reason
ably lucrative.
Mr. Starr , who lately was In charge of the
Council UluiTs bureau of the Omaha Itepub-
llcan , was among these who greeted the
Bluffs delegates. Ho is connected with ono
of the hotels and is doing some special news
paper work.
A younger brother of O. II. Brown , the
Main street druggist , was found seeking
health at Maniton Springs. Ho is gaining
rapidly and will remain until October.
George Marshal , formerly superintendent
of the street car line hero , was seen at Den
ver , where ho is living with his daughter ,
who i the wife of H. A. Wells. Ho is not
decided whether ho will go with Mr. nnd
Mrs. Wells to their new homo in Chieatro ,
but will probably do so If ho can arrange his
business nt Denver satisfactorily.
D. 1J. Kecler , general agent of the Union
Pacific- Denver , was especially courteous
to the delegates and saw to it that the over
land route was made as pleasant possible.
Among the railway men of familiar face
was J. A , Munroo , general freight agent of
the Union Pncillo. IIo returned Irom Eu
rope about a month ago. Ho Is looking well ,
and is as indefatigable a worker us over.

The Y. M. C. A. Gymnasium.
Few of our citiiens realize what Council
Hluffs has In the gymnasium of the Young
Men's Christian association. A state ofticial
who was in the city recently , remarked that
it was the "neatest gymnasium in Iowa. "
Arrangements are in progress to accommo
date a largo number in the classes during the
fall nnd winter , which are already being or
ganized , work to begin about September 10 ,
The system of gymnastics in use is u won
derful improvement over that of ten years
ago. The object is no looger to produce a
big biceps , but by the proper use of light
gymnastics and the bath , to build up every
part of the physical system equally. All ox-
crciscs are simple , safe , beneficial and pleas
ing lust the thing for men whoso nerves are
overworked. At the Council Uluffs gymna
sium e-.ory member who desires may bo ex-
nniiiud , complete measurements taken , and
special work prescribed free of cnorgo. Hy
th'i ' method any special weakness may be
overcome , besides strengthening the whole
body nnd lessening the chances of sickness ,
ahls is a great advantage over ordinary nth-
Ictlo sports , most of which are incomplete as
far as general cxcrciso is concerned. Ever j
young man nnd every business man in Coun
cil Hluffs could nnd in the systematic use ol
the gymnasium what ho cannot get in ani
other way- good health. This institution i
jono'thntougbt to boon during the cotuiuj
season , and with such n low membership fee ,
$ 'i , the association will doubtless have all
the applications they can attend to. With
nn energetic now president , now secretary
and n rattling good gymnastic department ,
the Young Men's Christian association will
surely bo n strong Influence toward luiprov-
lug the morals of our young men.

Kan Away AVIth Her Trunk.
Some time aim Kosio Fisher , a domestic at
the Ogdcn house , was ono of the parties to a
brief though exciting little episode that oc
curred in the hotel laundry , and in which
Hilly Smith nnd n pail of scalding water were
also prominent factors. Hose skipped , and
laid low for a time , but has lately been doing
housework in the city. A few days since ,
she left the place where she had been work
ing. A short time afterward , .lohn Ford vis
ited the house and presented an order for her
trunk , which was given him.
Hoslo now appeals In a frenzy nnd says
that tliu order was a forgery , and that all ot
her earthly possessions , amounting to some
thing over $ IW ) , have gene with John and the
trunk. The festivu Johnnie stinted for Kan

panion. The chief of police has telegraphed
the police at the latter city to bo on the look

"Talc of Two Cities. "
About four months ago a lady of moans
and prominence in the community in which
she lived called on one of our leading real
estate dealers. She stated that it was her
first visit to Council Bluffs , that she had
spent several days in Omaha with the inten
tion of locating there. However she con
cluded to sco Council BlulTs before making a
decision. The real estate dealer invited the
lady to ( vivo , and as they drove along she ex
pressed iarprlso at finding the street paved ,
saying that nn Omaha dealer had told her
that there was not a paved street in Council
BlulTs , and many other things which no ono
with any fear of thu future would attempt.
Wo w i merely state that the lady is now.
and as been ever slnco a resident of Council
Bluffs ; owns a number of pieces of property
and is now erecting eight handsome dwell
ings. She Is nn enthusiast on Council Bluffs

TOBACCO.
The Pleasure That Slay flu Obtained
1'Toni \\ceilTliatSootlieN. .
Tobacco is a nasty weed
Which from the Devil doth proceed.
Now York Commercial Advertiser :
I do not known what is the proportion
of nicotine in a whill of smoke. 1 do
not know the statistics of deaths from
tobacco poisoning nor how many slaves
of tobacco have confessed and repented
on their death-beds. I have read sun
dry harrowing talcs of the fatal olToots
of smoking , to which kind and interest
ed friends have called my attention ;
and who shall say , merely because ho
novci-felt , saw or'heard the like , that
they are not truoV But 1 can not say
that I over smoked my pipj with any
'ess comfort and satislaotioii after the
ending. Perhaps it is unjust.but I can
icvcr believe that these warnings were
ever written by anyone who hail ever
enjoyed the epicurean pleasure of a
lioice Havana or the succulent com-
ort of a well-seasoned pipe. The writer
presents himself to my imagination a
slim , bilious wight , minutely anxious
is to the digostibility-.of 'his dinner ,
earful of a draft , a littld asthmatic , so
tlmt a taste of smoke in the air sots him
coughing , still' and upright in his pos
tures , unconscious of the pleasures of a
oungo. If he knows iwlytliing of the
weed by experience , it is in a cigarette.
Tlio cigarette smoker knows nothing
of the pleasure of tobacco. Hven if ho is
conceded the pure leaf ill his little toy ,
he has not the deep and .growing pleas
ure in his smoke that the user of the
old form knows. There is the same liku-
less in his pungent , thirsUpvovoking ,
Darching roll of paper f.6"RTull-llayored
cigar or pipe as in a glass of absinthe
to a foaming tankard of ale.
But who lias seasoned a good briar
. ) ipo or a meorseham , or who ha
smoked a real Cuban cigar , not too
trong , not too dry , nor yet too moist ,
ind docs not know the pleasure that is
ijddon in that-magic leafy What more
graceful than the shapes in which
the blue wreaths floated up
Like incense on the air.
as the rich brown of his cigar changed
to ashen grays and adeonsenso of peace
stole round him , while all the brightest
scenes of the past lloatcd dreamily
through his mind , and ho felt
Hope brighten days to come
And inom'ry gild the pastf
But , as to the quintessence of the
simmer's enjoyment , give mo my pipo. _
It is not elegant , perhaps. "A pipe's
very good , but you can't smoke it in tlio
street , you Icnow , " said an "exquisite"
once , niter a fashionable dinner. * 'Oh ,
yes you can , " said his host , "if you are
'not too proud. " It were better , per
haps , if our manners were so improved
that wo did not want to smoke in tlio
street , where many get the bone.Ill of it
to whom it is no pleasure. But in the
woods , upon the breezy hilltops , along
the rippling streams with rod and line ,
alloat on a shady river , or sailing over
the long surges of the summer sea , or ,
best of all , by one's own liresido on a
cool winter's evening , what is HJ $ a
pipe ? Whether it is a curiously carved
meerschaum whoso deepening brown
tills the owner's heart with pride , or a
serviceable briar , or a democratic corn
cob , matters'not , so that it is mellowed
with that indescribable quality wo call
sweetness , telling of long use and many
tragrant clouds that have circled
round and through it. A good pipe is
a good friend. As you take it up and
tenderly 1111 it for a smoke you are re
minded of all the pleasant times it has
helped you to enjoy , of all the adven
tures it lias shared with you. . Perhaps
it was the gift of a human friend , pur-
haps picked up in some by way of travel.
Then you recall the beginnings of ac
quaintance not so pleasant , as is often
the case with the llrst formalities ; but
gradually you become accustomed to ono
another , and then what delightful com
panionship was yours ! A friend as dis
creet as a book and more sympathetic ,
always present when f , wantea , never
tedious , never a bore , always able to ho
laid aside when other , .interests call.
Are you cold , it will jjcufl a glow of
genial warmth through your veins ; arc
you hot and tired'twill soothe and re
fresh you ; are you hungry' , it will make
you forgot the gnawing pangs ; have
you dined , it will lona'a pleasure to
digestion greater than | Inat of the lotos
eater. . Are you happy and'prosporou 8
your pipe burns the liicohso of grati
tude ; are you weary.sad and discouraged
it calms the troubled fever of your
mind , nnd. as you smoke'peaco and con
tentment insensibly descend upon you
through the clouds , anp , in the smoke
wreaths , visions ofhopqui l cheer rise
in bright succession to your view. The
world can not look very dark to the
smoker by his firesidejwhilo the good
genius of tobacco rises in the clouds
from his pipebowl , like the spirit in the
Arabian talo. At homo nud abroad , in
youth nnd ago , in trouble or in ioy ,
what pleasure , what comfort is like
this ?
Then smoke away till n golden ray
Lights up the dawn of the morrow.
For a cheerful cigar , like a shield , will bar
The blows of pain and sorrow.
Gossip About Masters , Old anil Young
Neally Stevens , in the Etude : I am
often asked to relate some anecdote of
Lis/t.
What is there to be Baid new of the
Moifitor ? His great genius and his
beautiful nature are o universally
known and loved. I recall this inbtnnco
of his boundless generosity ttnd kind-
ness. Avhich I believe has nt \ -
the public , and it was one of ovory-dny
occurrences. Ivns dining ono day
with Liszt Ah , that clear little dining-
room ; how distinctly I see it now , plain
and neat , the square table at which I
have had so many charming hours , and
the weird etching that hung on the
wall , of n belfry tower full of bats and
owls. As wo were flu lolling our repast ,
I saw through the open door a poor po
lish girl , who was in the master's class ,
slip deprecatingly into the salon.
Liszt saw her. too , and rising wont to
her and brought her to the table and gave
her a glass of wino with the same cour
tesy that ho would have shown a coun
tess. AH wo loft the dining room , I
noticed that he slipped something into
her hand. Frau Appol , his tnrifty
housekeeper , saw it too , and she came
to mo with a rueful face. It scorns that
Liszt was in the habit of regularly giv
ing this girl money wherewith to go to
her home , and she as regularly spent it
and continued to remain in Weimar.
Her talent was not remarkable , and she
was too poor oven to rent a piano. For
that the mastcivalso paid. IIo wished
her to go back to her parents , nnd was
continually providing her the means
for such purpose , but she would not go ,
no doubt preferring Lits/.t's bounty to
the poverty of her Polish home. Liszt
was generous to prodigality , and this is
but one instance.
1 know of a very amusing anecdote
concerning Dr. Von Bullow. For once
the erratic llttlo doctor was the victim
of ills own caprice. Bullow is excessive
ly fond of the ballot , and while conduct
ing an opera ono night , ho was so
charmed with the dancers that ho in
vited tlio entire corps clu ballet to a
supper , and travo orders to the stewart
that they should have whatever viand
most pleased their astonished palates.
From premiere down to eoryphio they
till ordered lobsters , which tire tremen
dously dear in Germany , and for his
spnmn of enthusiasm Bullow paid nearly
WOO , a small fortune in Hanover. The
matter made quito a little stir in local
circles.
Theo. Kullak is known chiefly as the
greatest teacher of the piiinofo'rte , the
absolute master of piano didactics. To
see him about his teaching is ono thing ,
always severely critic'il , often cross and
sarcastic , with untiring vigilance over
the faults of his pupils , ono would fancy
ho had no existence outside of his study.
But to sco Kullak after ho has had'a
few glasses of champagne is quito an
other thing. IIo is then sparkling ,
witty and interesting in conversation.
I was dining with him , one day , when
Mos/.kowski was among the guests. At
the table also sat a young lady , who was
soon to make her debut , and was dread
ing tlio terror of stage fright.
Several amusing anecdotes were re
lated aprnuoo of this subject , and Mos/-
kowski , in his inimitable manner , told
tlio most laughable one of a pianist
who , being quite overcome with stsigo
fright , and linding , as he seated himself
to play , that ho was too far from the
key-board , instead of drawing his chair
nearer , seized the piano with a frantic
clutch and tried to pull it to him.
Speaking of Mos/.koivalci , ho is ono of
the most charming of men. Ho is sin
gularly modestand seems not to realize
iiia great reputation , evidences of which
ilways 1111 him with wonder. I recol
lect an episode which will illustrate his
child-like nature.
I called to take my les.-on ono inorn-
ng and found him in despair , because
, he housemaid , in sweeping and dusting
his study had broken the leg olt a tiny
toy dog , worth about two cents. He sat
regarding the treasure with mournful
eyes his eyes , by the way are beautiful ,
like forget-me-nots dipped in dew.
The situation was pathetically nbaurcl.
He tried to make his dosr stand , but of
course it toppled over constantly. At
last ho propped it up by incluis of
another dog that had escaped the maid's
duster , and exclaimed triumphantly :
"There , lie can str.nd in the world by
the aid of his companion. " There was
not a bit of affectation about the whole
all'air. He was simply unhappy over
the accident , as a child would have been.
Xavier Scharwenka is the opposite of
Moszkowski , and yet ono often sees
these names together. An atmosphere
of absolute nature surrounds the latter ;
with him ono always thinks of Hold
flowers , running brooks and green
forests : with the former ono moves in
the atmosphere of a conservatory llllcd
with orchids and exotics. With'Mos / -
kowski you are in the sunlight , with
Soharwonka under the gaslight.
Scharwonka has a superb presence ;
ho looks like a Russian prince and car
ries himself like a soldier. Ho is
affable ami fascinating and surrounds
himself with luxuries. Ho lias the
taste of a Sybarite , his study is hung
with eastern draperies. His wife is a
Russian lady , and ho had , when I knew
him , an interesting family of four little
girls. It may bo understood how popu
lar ho is with ladies when I state that
even his mother-in-law was simply devoted
voted to him.
