COUNCIL BLUFFS.
Lightning Talk.
Arrangements have at last boon completed
for the building of a telephone line to Lake
Munawa. ana this much needed convenience
will bo supplied within the next ton days.
The various parties interested at the lake
realize tuo need of telephone connection
with the citizens of Omaha and Council
Bluffy and have clubbed together to furnish
it. The line will bo built by them , and a
small fee for connections will bo charged. It
is expected that the line will bo used enough
to assist very materially in paying for Itself ,
whllo the convenience afforded guests as well
as property owners at the lake will bo of far
greater value than the actual cost of the lino.
The next move should bo to extend the same
service to the Chautauqun grounds.
Communication with the latter resort Is
lamentably InsulUciont and unsatisfactory.
It is true that the grounds are connected
with the city by telegraph , but owing to the
fact that there is no operator there , this ser
vice amounts to very little. Prof. D. W.
McDonald has charge of the matter , and
being a very line operator , although slightly
out of practice , ho is well able to attend to it
wore it not for the fact that his duties as
superintendent of the grounds are constantly
culling him In other directions. The present
wire to the grounds was put in just before
the session opened , and is simply a loop run
ning up to the grounds from ono of the
through wires on the Hock Island. Several
telegraph messages have been recnivcd
at the city ofllco lor parties at the
Ctmutnuqua grounds , but as it was Impossi
ble to raise the operator there , it was neces
sary to delay their delivery several hours.
Telephonic connection Is greatly needed , but
the telegraph could bo made to supply the
deficiency if an operator could bo stationed
at the ofilce on the grounds during the day
to attend to all messages. Thus far , the
management has Leon so busy getting thorough
rough ends smoothed up , and everything in
flno running order , that no ttmo has boon devoted -
voted to these smaller , yet by no means un
important , details. They will doubtless all
be attended to as soon as possible.
A. Flut Settlement.
A lively fracas occurred on Graham ave
nue yost erday afternoon , among some work
men employed in excavating for a couple of
now dwellings to bo erected by Horace
Everett. The difficulty arose from tha fact
that Mr. Everett allows parties who owe him
to work out the amount of their indebted
ness. On Friday night , Theodore Hatch ol
der , who had been working on a contract to
cancel a certain Indebtedness , finished the
same , and was discharged to limit6 room for
others who wished to work out a debt ,
diaries Itoborts was the only man whoso
services were retained , and ho was directed
to superintend the work of the now men.
Yesterday afternoon Batchcldor and hovoial
of his men appeared and endeavored to pro
voke a quarrel with Uoborts. Falling In
this they attacked him and beat him se
verely , both with their fists nnd a club ,
Roberts was badly bruised and cut , Qua secured -
cured the services of a policeman , who ar
rested the sluggers. Dutcholdcr states that
Kobom had misrepresented matters to Mr ,
Hoberts. and had secured his discharge.
This is denied by Roberts , who claims that
ho did not Interfere at ail. The case will
conio up for a heu ring to-morrow morning.
Ioolcs OrookuU.
Considerable surprise was occasioned on
the street yesterday by tbo annonncomout
that J , ii , Hume , bookkeeper and account
ant for Duquette & Co. , wholesale confec
tioners , was a defaulter to the extent of
several thousand dollars. A suspicion that
something was wrong has been entertained
for some tlrno by Mr , Duquette , but Hume ,
when questioned , had given vury satisfac
tory explanations. Money did not come In
as fast as It should have douo ,
and. Hurao'g employers finally decided
to have an expert go over tha books ,
Hume was accordingly sent to Silver City on
a business trip and during his nbsonco the
Investigation was commenced. Ho returned
before the InvcitiflaUon was completed aud
was sent to Defiance. When ho returned
from that place ho was confronted with the
fact that ho was a defaulter to the extent of
about $ J,000. Ho confessed everything dud'
promised to make full restitution.
His method of proccoilure was to raise an
expense bill from $2 to S1U , and afterward
orasn the added figure , putting the uxtra $10
in his pocket. The peculations covoiod a
period of nearly two'years and in that , tlinu
ho had made mtinv false entries.
Attention was first called to Hume's man
ner of living by n neighbor. A now bouso
on Madison street , horao and buggy , stylish
clothes and numerous other things seemed a
little too stoop for rt salary nf $ JO u mouth.
No arrests have been made and it is re
ported that the matter will bo settled quietly.
Huino has given up all his property , but
there Htill remains quito a little balance
ugalnst him.
The defaulting book-koopor and cashier
was formerly In the omuloy of J. H. Snyder ,
commission merchant , and report has it that
a similar dlfilculty occurred thoro.
It will bo remembered that a few weeks
ago , Hume was knocked down and robbed of
nearly 100 just after getting In from a col
lecting trip on the road. The pollco refused
to touch th < vciio at the tlmo , alleging that
Hume had undoubtedly converted the money
to his own use , and Inflicted a few slight
wounds on hlmsolf to give color to his story.
Hcccnt developments indicate that the
theory was vury pluusiblo.

Prof. Sholton's pig-fooding experi
ments go to show that farmers in the
west , whore pork making is the inulii
business , should us u measure of econo
my , continue to ube corn us their staple
fattening fqod , says the Rural Now
Yorker. Doubtless this conclusion is in
full accord with local conditions. In
Kansas , na Prof , Sholtoii Buys , milk ,
nous nnd other supplies o ( nitrogenous
food are not to bo thought of they cost
too muuh to i > rociuco. Prof. Shelton
docs not ( five un opinion as to what
would follow in a socllon whore thcso
foods can be secured. As a matter of
fact , such un opinion has littla to do
with the business of the Kansas farmer ,
whoso object it is to produce all the port :
ho can at the cheapest possible codt. It
ia the R , N. Y.'s opinion that the farmer
wiio can establish a reputation for pro
ducing "loan" norU will bo able to worlc
up a profitable business for that product.
Wo mean pork with a greater proportion
tion of lean than is found in that sold
in the general market. 'The demand it
for lean pork , there can bo no use in de
ny ing the fuel , and it seems evident
that this loan product la to bo produced
outaidu of whut is known as "tho corp
bolt. "
