An Important New Enterprise.
The agitation of the question of brick prxv-
ng , and tbo consequent investigation of Its
ncrlts and life material required , hnvo re
vealed the fact that sufllclont brick can not
io supplied by the yards now established
icro , nnd also that the quality of the brick
lorotoforo turned out has not been up to the
standard. The result has been to cause steps
0 be taken to establish a largo brick yard In
or near this city , for tha special purpose of
.urning . out llrst-ctns * pavlni ? brick In very
arga quantities.
1'artles from Chicago , Burlington , Omaha
and Council Bluffs hnvo become Interested in
.ho scheme , nnd capital to the amount of
SoO.OOO will bo forthcoming from these cities
to establish the plant , if certain preliminary
urrangetncnts can bo mndo as desired , Ono
> f the projectors of the enterprise Informed
Tin : BUR yesterday that ail the encourage
ment they desired win that contracts for
about 75,000 yards of paving should bo let
this year , in which case they would ito
ihcad immediately with their work. The
limit , now in operation at Lincoln cost $75-
)00 ) , but n better onu cau be built hero for
1 ess money.
The city of Lincoln ordered 175,000 yards
of paving to Induce the briekmaklng plant
: o locate there. Brick is selling there for
$10 a thousand , and It is ntntcd that the same
price could be duplicated here.
At present the contract is let for about two
thousand yards of paving , nnd there are
about half a million brick in the city , which
would Just about suffice to do this work.
The council has Just ordered about twcnty-
llvo thousand yards additional , but the ma
terial to do this extra wont will have to bo
purchased outside , unless arrangements can
be made for the establishment here of this
new plant. The projectors ask that con
tracts bo let for about three thousand yards
in addition to that now ordered , and guar
anty that it will not be necessary to go out
side the city to 11 ml material , us they will
furnish all that can be used. They can not ,
however , furnish It this year , us It would ba
near the close of the season before they
could get In running order , hut tue contracts
must be let this year for work to bo done
next season , in order to assure them that
there will bo a home market for their brick ,
which would bo ready for use in 1800.
It seems to be a foregone conclusion that
there will be little more block paving laid in
this city , as it is rotting out too fast to give
general satisfaction , and the action of the
mud und water , which get under the blocHs ,
makes the cost of repair rather in excess of
what the property owners are. inclined to
relish. It Is conceded that block paving
makes one of the best drives that can be put
down , and the Bluffs has been very fortu
nate in securing some of the finest jobs of
this kind of work that have bean done in the
country. Tills , coupled with the fact that
brick paving has not .vet been extensively
tried In the city , leaves many warm sup
porters hi defense of the ceJar blocks.
The strongest argument that has neon
made In behalf of the brick paving is that
the money for paving material , which in
variably amounts to a very considerable
sum , is kept at homo. Such , nt least , would
be the case , if the plant above referred to
is established here. Then uunin , there is
far less trouble to remove brick paving to
make repairs to sewers , gas pipes and water
mains , and the paving can Ue rclaid much
more satisfactorily. With the block paving :
it is necessary to remove u section sixteen
/cot long , no matter how small the Intended
excavation is to bo.
These and many moro arguments arc
heard daily in favor of the brick , and its ad
vocates nro rapidly increasing In numbers.
The paving laid on Willow avenue last year
is pointed to as an example of the superior
advantages of the brick , und yet this pave
ment was only laid as an experiment and the
bricks nro not of the hardest and best qual
ity. The matter is one of considerable
financial importuned to the property owners
of the city , and * a careful investigation
should bn accorded by them of the compara
tive merits of the twri materials.

Mvrinds of Locusts.
In the willows and cottonwoods along the
river banks there uro clouds of locusts , and
for the past few duys people on the olcctrlu
motor trains have heard a din that is louder
than the rush of the Hying train as Boon as
they reach the river bottoms. Investigation
reveals the fact that the little songsters uro
the genuine sovontei.m-.vcnr locusts , and they
have arisen from the sand m such numbers
that they almost equal the leaves upon which
they feed. The luxuriant foliage , the bnlray
air and the bright sunshine drive them wild
with Joy , and their music can bo heard a
mile distant from the bushes. In the evenIng -
Ing , when the stand commences to cool off ,
the ground Is literally covered with them ,
At no time during the periodical visits of
thcsa strange Insects has the number ever
been greater In any locality than they are
here , and the fact that they cannot bo found
anywhere clso In the country is not a little
remarkable.
Tho. willows especially seem to bo their
choicest food , and the young and tender
twigs uro being ravenously harvested by the
shrill-voiced Insects. Specimens captured
and examined are found to be the true lo
cust , wltn tha cabalistic "w" on their
wings. In many places twigs half an inch
thick have boon cut off by the hungry little
fellows , nnd the portontlous "w" is certain
to mean war on the willows , at least.

The annual encampment of the Fifih reel-

Red Oak , commencing August 13 and con
tinuing until the 10th. Two companies of
regulars from Fort Omaha will ba in attend
ance nnd give the boys au insight of real
camp and discipline. It Is expected that
Governor Lnrraboo , Adjutant General Alex
ander nnd other dignitaries will bo present
on the day of grand review. The Dodge
Light Qunra.of { his city , belong to the Fifth
regiment , and will attend.
The recent disagreement regarding the
election of a now captain la far from being
settled , and Colonel Castle , of Sbenandoah ,
has been bent for with a view of restoring
harmony. It will bo Impossible to hold an
other election ueforo going Into camp 'and
affairs look a tritla dubious for the boys so
fur HI their securing any prl/o Is concerned.
Both the lieutenants are greatly
mifffd regarding recent developments and
it is understood that they will
resign before It is tlmo to start for camp.
Tlio n wly elected captain It also billed fur a
resignation , so that the indications nro that
the company will flnd Itself without a com
manding onlcor Just about tournament time.
If this should bo the case , It would ho a dls-
grnco to the Bluffs , as the company would bo
simply a squad , without place on parade ,
nnd would bo assigned to some other com
pany , oven if not actually ntuitored out.
Those are decidedly unpleasant possibilities
to consider , and tbo urgent need for a speedy
cessation of internal dissension and a res
toration of unanimity nnd harmony Is readily
apparent. This Is no time to Indulge in any
boylih spiito work , for the continuation of
the Dodge Light Uuard as an organization
and the credit of tho-city of Council Bluffs
Is at stuho.

A Kcd Hot Day.
Yesterday was ono of the hottest Sundays
experienced in the Bluffs , thus far this year.
The mercury skirmished around In the nine
ties from early In the morning until nearly
sunset , und there was not enough air stirring
to concentrate a bushel basuotful of coolness
inside of the limits of n whole block during
the entire day. It was a red hot day und
everybody knew it. The congregations of
the various churches discovered the fact
early In tha day , and the preachers found it
out shortly after arriving In their pulpits ,
and gazing down at tna deserted pews.
At none of the churches were the congre
gations very large , although all who at
tended seemed to llnd the hojces of worship
about as cool and comfortable ns did their
less devout neighbors the lawns and back
porches , whore they passed the earlier hours
of the day.
It was impossible to flnd any ireczo to
npoak of , and n few square feet of dcnso
shade w s ns near an approach to comfort as
any of the seekers found.
As If by common consent , attention was
turned nt a comparatively early hour
toward the electric motor line for relief.
Hundreds of people rode up and down the
line , a good many crossing the river as often
as four times , peemlug to llnd niori comfort
in that way than could otherwise bo ob
tained , nnd It is fair to presume that they
would have continued it all day , but for the
fact that shortly after noon travel became
so rushing and the cars so crowded that
transit by motor was divested of the little
comfort thut had previously attended it. It
was' absolutely impossible to accommodate
all who desired transportation , and scores
were left by every train at cither end of the
lino.
In the evening the greatest rush ensued ,
and the trains were packed almost to suffoca
tion. Extra trains and extra cars were put
on , some of the motors pulling two loaded
couches , and wcro kept running until very
late.
late.Many of the passengers , ns previously
stated , made the round trip , but there were
thousands who did not , and the question that
was constantly asked was , "Where do they
all go ( " A single glance at Buyhss
or Fairmount parks or Lake Man-
awa would have answered the
query with indisputable correctness.
Almoct from sunrise to midnight Bayllss
p.irk was full and running over. Every
bench was filled and hundreds wcro stretched
out on the grass in every position imagina
ble , oblivious of everything except their own
personal comfort.
It is safe to say that never before has Fair-
mount park contained such a liberal represen
tation ofOmahans as visited its windlngdnvcs
and walks and countless shady glens and
sequestered nooks yesterday afternoon.
Hundreds saw and admired its beauties for
the llrsc time , while many could not muster
up the necessary courage to climb the bluff ,
and regretted that the electric motor line
extension was ns yet incomplete. Had the
motor line been completed and electric cars
been run Into the park yestorduy , 10,000
would have been a very low estimate of
these who would have visited the placo.
How much patronage the company is miss
ing will not bo known until after the line is
In operation. *
If everybody spent the day in Fairmount
park all their relatives must surely nave
gone to Manawa , for In no ether way could
such a crowd have gathered there. Colonel
Reed , of the Manawa motor line , thought ho
had seen some pretty good days before , but
was convinced of Ins mistake , and remarked
shortly after midnight that "Sunday is go
ing to last until the middle of the week this
time. "
At the hotel the rush was tremendous.
Judge Robinson , the presiding genius , el
bowed his way to the front as each motor
steamed in. gasped for breath with which to
ask , "Is this the lustof 'cml" and it was
then dlfilcult to get sight of him until an
other whistle was heard.
Everybody wanted a bath , nnd some of
them wcro not particular bow they got it ,
whether In the conventional way , via the
bath house , or by tumbling overboard back
ward from the deck of a steamer , if It so
happened that they eventually landed in the
water. "Why , you may not believe it. " said
the proprietor of ono of the bathing cstab-
tnents last evening , "but it Is un actual fact
that they wouldn't wait for the suits to dry.
It wouldn't ' take long in sucn u sun , but they
were so crazy to get Into the water that us
soon as a suit was wrung out there
was somebody right there to put it on.
That Is the way it has been going all day
and you sco tbo water is alive with them
now. Every suit wo hnvo Is in the water.
Our receipts to day will amount to between
$150 and $200. I guess Manawa is nil right. "
Notwithstanding the heat all seemed fairly
good-natured and the day passed without
any serious rows or diftlcultles. Every train
going toward the lake was filled until after
10 o'clock , and it was 3 o'clock before all
had been brought back to the city. Scarcely
any arrests were made and taking it all
around it would pass for quite a model sum
mer Sunday.

The veteran park policeman of Fairmount

ho resumed.

She's tn the Asylum Now ,
Ono of the oldest undertakers in Snn
Francisco , formerly a member of the
firm of Cowon , Potter & Co. , recently
told an Examiner reporter that ho would
nut exchange occupations with any mini
in the stuto. Said he :
"I toll you there is n singular fascinn-
"tion in ministering to the wants of the
dead , in placing over them garlands of
llowora , nicely arranging their white
faces , nnd laying tholr pale bodies in
the lastcoflkot. "
The old veteran went on portraying
the pleasures ot his pursuit , and ns ho
gave the
DETAILS OF 1JI9 AVEIUD VOCATION
ho grew into an ecstasy not unlike the
reveries of an opium cater. Continu
ing , the undortnKor said :
"Experience has taught mo that fa
miliarity with tlio dead takes the sting
from the grave. My business puts
death in n loss terrifying light than the
pictures which the Imngitmti6n draws
whore the actual is seldom witnessed.
I liavo put so many in their last homos
that I no longer look upon death with
the old fear. I agree with thoman who
said , 'Tired of the heat and glamour of
the day wo ho'ir with joy tlio rustling
garments of the night. ' I look upon
every now face that comes Into my
quiet sleeping apartments over there as
ono moro lucky traveler who has reached
at last his journey "send. "
"Does it not pain you when the body
of a lifelong friend is brought into your
parlors ? "
"Oh , my boy , " said the veteran , with
the gruesome manner of the gravediggers
gers that prate over Yorlok's skull in
'Hamlet , ' ' ! see that you do not under
stand what I have boon tolling you.
"Well , it does not surprise me , for nobody -
body but an undertaker can have any
idea of an undertaker's pleasures. Of
course I do not like to hnvo my friends
suffer , nor do I enjoy having them die ,
It makes the world lonely ind makes
tombstones out of life-long comrndes ,
but when a friend is dead it pleases mo
very much to give him every attention.
Ho becomes my guest , and it plains mo
if any of my servants neglect him or do
ANYTIUNa TO MAK HIS VISIT.
There is , aftor'nll1 ' , a quiet pleasure to
know that your tiSst friends tlo not , have
to die , that aching hearts tire forever at
rest in the everlasting sleep. "
"Do you ever have favorites among
these whom you did not know during
life ? "
"Very often , indeed. I have had
people come hero' ' and I felt from the
lirst glance that I would love them for
their winning ways. "
"Well , sir , I like modest people with
frank countenances , whether in life or
death. Some corb&es have mean coun-
tonauces. I would have declined an
introduction irulifo , and so I do not
cultivate their society in death. Some
seem to stare nt mb , while others look
like sneaks. A dead roan's face is n
good photograph of what ho was in life ,
and it has the advantage that no trick
of an assumed expression cau deceive
the eye of tbe observer.
"Thoro are lovely men and women
who come hero , and when they leave us
wo miss them and wo fool lonely. It
give me great pleasure to pin a little
bouquet upon tueir garments , or to ad
just their heads upon tiioir pillows.
They often need these little attentions ,
nnd they seem pleased when wo are
Kind to them. Of course , they never
speak , but there is golden eloquence in
tiioir silence. Different positions of
their quiet faces give a language to
them , and a slight change in attitude
makes the contour and whole effect dif
ferent.
"Let mo toll you about a young
woman who used to assist mo whore I
formerly lived. She made handsome
bouquets nnd garlands during her leis
ure , and she also kept the entry books.
"That girl had much good philosophy
on the subject of death. She liked to
read about the old Greeks who dressed
their dead in white , sand odes to im
mortality , and placed lloral decorations
on their tombs.
"I often noticed that she spent many
IDLE HOUItS AMONG TUB COFFINS
after the bodies were prepared nnd

thut she was simply studying tlio busi

what we call artistic settings , for she

"Ono day her afllanccds for she was

presence ho lightly kissed her on the
brow and departed. This did not seem
to trouble her , although I noticed that
she blushed as her sweetheart dopurted.

I noticed that her ayes wore moist. I
believed that they had gone through a
little lovers' quarrel , and I thovght no
moro about it. At least I did not liavo
the slightest suspicion of the wonderful
alienation of her affections that was
taking place.
"Tho next day The body of ono of the
handsomest young men I over saw was
brought into our'parlors. ' Ho was un
known , but from papers found among
his otfocts it was ascertained that his
family lived inLondon , England. Ho
had been out Hunting , and , getting sep
arated from his companions , tlio gun
was dischargedftho charge entering
his thigh. Ho soon bled to donth. Of

for the coHln. Wo dressed him nicely ,
combed his beautiful hair , arranged his
very handsome mustache , gave his
cheeks a few touches of color with the
blender nnd lett instructions for our
young lady assistant to liavo a floral
tribute made for the Elks , who were to
manage the funeral. I then wont homo
to dinner , and I was gone several iiours.
When I returned the girl was working
over the face , She made a handsome
wreath and placed it over his brow.
Then she fairly raved about his beauty.
When J came back in llftoon minutes
she was still there , and she seemed to
bo talking to him. I heard her ask

soomcd to blush nnd laugh a little , but
I thought nothing of it. Toward even
ing tiio Elks and their band came after
the corpse. Will you bohovo mo when
I toll you my pretty girl kissed that cold
face nnd burst into hysterics so that wo
cold not calm her when it was removed ?
That was twcnty-llvo years ago , and she
was then about eighteen years old. "
" .And whore is she now' ? " asked the
reporter.
"I saw her when I wnshomo two years
tigo. She looked well and hearty , and
she was really handsome , although her'
hair was a little gray. She told mo she
hud been married many years , nnd then
she talked and laughed with her hus
band , but lie made no reply , for ho had
boon buried by the Elks many years be
fore. You don't uiidorstiindr Listen I
"Whon I loft her , gcntlp attendants
led her away from the gaslit parlor into
that part of tlio great insane asylum ,
where , for a quarter of a century , she
has lived and loved that young English
man , whoso body has rested beneath the
mossy marble since wo buried him there
away back in the sixties. As I stole
away I could hear her voice echoing
through the great * corridors , for she
was laughing and talking with her hus
band , the bodiless creation of ecstasy.
Her eye was bent on vacancy , yet she
was nappy. "
