Important KUNJIICSS Change.
An important business change was made
yesterday , the stock nnd li.xtures of Ilark-
ness Brothers being sold to Fotheringham ,
Whltclaw & Co. , a new firm. The death of
Mr. E. E. Harkncss necessitated some
change in the business , thu other brother ,
Mr. J. E. Ilnvkncss , having his time so oc
cupied as manager of the Chantanua Assem
bly ns trf prevent Ills giving personal atten
tion to the dry goods business. The change
is one which is far better for the city than
if the stock had been merely closed out and
the business stopped. The now firm is com'-
posed of young men from the east , who have
abundant capital and long experience in the
dry goods business. The "Co. " consists of
FowlerDick & Walker , who have very largo
houses nt Wllkesbarro.Pa.and Binghampton ,
N. Y. The tlrm of Hurkncss Brothers has
made Its name a familiar one throughout this
part of the west , and they have had a large
business. It is fortunate that this falls into
such worthy hands for Its continuance. The
now firm purposes making numerous radical
changes and Improvements. These changes
will bo uiado as rapidly as possible. The
malting of them will necessarily interfere
somewhat with ' .he waiting upon customers
nt present , and the doors were closed yester
day to permit of these changes. In duo time
the opening will come , and it is safe to pro-
diet that Council Bluffs will be proud of the
establishment , and give it a liberal patron-
ace. They purpose enlarging the stock , and
and not only inalntaing the reputation of the
house but making it more popular than ever.

Ijoolc Out For Foot Pads.
There are evidently a few individual ! , in
the city who nro exceedingly "hard up , " nnd
they seem to bo possessed of the idea that
more fortunate persona should replenish
their impaired pocketbooks , either forcibly
or otherwise. It is now several weeks since
Mr. J. W. Dickey was sandbagged and
robbed , but Just as the citizens were begin
ning to breathe easy and hope that the thugs
and foot pads had laid up for the season ,
now conies the report of their further work
right in the heart of the city. Tuesday night ,
us Mr. Rodda , one of the employes at the
People's store , was returning homo , ho was
stopped on Oakland avenue by a man , who
demanded to know if ho had any money.
Ho replied thut ho was not accustomed to
carrying money at that time of night. The
stranger then told a pitiful tale of poverty
and hunger , mid begged for assistance. The
Btory was well told , but failed to mvo the
desired effect , as Mr. Hodda kept his pocketbook -
book out of sight. The follow then grew
rather abusive , but after carefully "sizing
up" ills intended victim , concluded that ho
had hotter not tackle him , and Hnally skipped
out. There is no doubt but that the follow
intended highway robber , and was only de
terred by his doubtful chances of success.
About 2 o'clock the sumo night , us Henry
Wagner was passing along Broadway ,
in front of the lot on which the
new Eiseman building is being erected , ho
was accosted by a man , the description of
whom exactly tallies with that of Mr. KoJ-
da's interrogator. "Hollo , whore are you
golnpy. ' demanded the follow , Mr. Wagner
supplied that it was an acquaintance , al
though ho failed to recognize him , and stated
that lie was going homo. The stranger re
plied that ho was going down to the Metro
politan and walked along by the side of Mr.
Wagner. After going a short distance the
latter began to feel a little uneasy , and notic
ing a couple of policemen passing on the op
posite side of the street , ho called to them to
comb over. The suspected highwayman did
not wait to see the result of the investiga
tion , but started down Broadway as fast as
his legs would carry him. No attempt was
made to stop him and ho was quickly out of
Bight. Mr.Vagner is of the opinion that ho
would have Inul a lively tussle to keep his
wallet , but for the opportune presence of the
policemen. The crooks are getting bolder ,
and citizens should keep n sharp lookout to
protect their property. There is a bare possi
bility that If this work Is persisted in some
body will got hurt , as some people object to
the questionable proceedings of the footpads.
In the meanwhile the police will keep a vigi
lant watch on all suspicious characters , so
far as their limited numbers will permit.

"As I came west in November I
stopped in Rochester , " continued the

"The men then wanted her to carry
the money to London and thence take it
to America. She refused to take the
risk but they threatened to kill her and
anally frightened her into it. She
made to elude the customs officers , a
gingham skirt of immense plaits. In
these plaits , which served as pockets ,
she packed the notes away so smothly
that the dress did not appear at all
bulky , and in this way she passed the
customs ollicers. But from London she
refused to go to America , and so ono
night her husband chloroformed her ,

Oil Iloniimi.
Titusvillo ( Pa. ) Herald : It is attain-
toresting fact not generally known that
Mr. Andrew Carnegie , the big iron
manufacturer , whoSo income was the
subject of BO much newspaper comment
during the campajgh , made his first big
money in the oil business. The death
in Pittsburg of David A. Stewart , chair
man of Carnoglo Bros. & Co. , suggests
a reference to the Columbia Oil com
pany , of which Mr. Stewart was treas
urer and the active manager , and Mr.
Carnoglo ono 01 several stockholders.
This company bought and operated the
Story farm , on Oil crook , between
Titusvillo and Oil City , a history of
which reads like n story of the Arabian
Nights. It was the rlehott farm over
developed in the oil country , nnd from
hia interest in this farm Mr. Carnegie
became comparatively a rich num. The
farm was originally owned by William
Story , who barely made a living from it
prior to the discovery of petroleum.
It consisted of 400 acres , and Mr.
Story offered the place for $4,500 , one-
third of which was to bo cash
and the bnlanco in throe annual pay-
menta. Ho could find no purchaser , un
til oil was struck on the creek and then
ho sold it to Mr. Carnegie and his
friends for $33,000 cash. The Colum
bia Oil company was organized to de
velop it May 1 , 1S01. Mr. Carnegie
was ono of its directors. The capital
stock way $ i)0,000 , divided into 10,000
shares of $25 enco. The farm proved to
be productive beyond all expectation ,
and in the entire history of the petrol
eum industry no other farm has up
preached it as an oil bonanza. It's
first year's output was 20,800 barrels ,
and the following year it was increased
to 89,000. In two and a half years
after the incorporation of the company
dividends had bcon declared amounting
to 130 per cent on the capital stock.
In 1804 the production of the farm in
creased to 141,508 barrels. During the
year the avciago price of oil was $9.873
per barrel. During the firot six months
of thia year four dividends were de
clared amounting to ICO per cent on the
capital stock. A month later Iho capi
tal was increased to $2,500,000 , and
a dividend of 5 per cent on this
amount was at once declared from the
earnings of the farm. Before the close
of the year live dividends were de
clared , making in all -o per cent on the
increased block. Ton years after the
first well was struck on the property
the production of the farm was 142,0(4 ; (
barrels for that year. In tlicso ten
years 1,715,072 barrels were nroduccd
and the whole amount of its dividends
was 401 per cent on the capital stock.
In a lawsuit in Erie , in 18S5 , Mr. Stew
art , treasurer of the company , testified
that the Columbia oil company had sold
oil from the farm to the value ol be
tween W,000000 ; and $7,000,01)0. ) Esti
mating the amount of oil produced by
the farm since that time , iho total out-
ut is placed by practical oil men be
tween $9,000,000 and $1,000,0(10. ( Al
though Hio Story farm has been con
stantly operated for twonly-seven years ,
il is siill producing about one hundred
barrels a month. All the old , original
wells have been drained and abandoned
some years ago , and the present pro
duction is from now wells drilled within
tlio past few years. Hundreds of farms
in the oil region have yielded vast for
tunes to their owners , but none of thorn
have a record equal to this , and from
this form Mr. Carnegie received a start
Hint has made him ono of the money
princes of the world.
