'aliero was moro than the usual number ot
Sunday visitors at the laxo yesterday. Aside
from the ordinary attractions of a flno body
of water with unsurpassed bathing und boat
ing facilities , there were no special features
to draw n crowd , but these wore ulouo suOl-
clcnt. Manager Heed was compelled to run
full trams of four cars each every half hour
to accommodate all who wanted to visit the
lake , and the grounds at that famous resort
presented a very animated appearance
throughout the day and evening. Next to
the motor line , the bath houses hud the cream
of patronage. There were no complaint of
"nothmir going on , " or "nowhere to go , " und
everybody seemed satisfied. The objection
able clement has been eliminated from
tbo crowds patronising the lake , and the re
sult Is eceu in the constantly increasing num
bers of the most respectable people of the
twin cities who now visit Manawa whenever
U is possible for them to do so ,

"Well , you couldn't ' have heard It any
strnlghtcr , " was the reply made yesterday
by a leading republican , when THE Bin ; In
formed him that there was a report In
circulation to the effect that the said poli
tician was anxious to place a goodly number
of slmolcons on the appointment of Post
master Bowman's successor , In otncr words ,
that ho wanted to bet as to whom the now
appointee would bo.
"Yes sir , I want to put a few silver
shekels on the result , " ho continued , "and
I will toll you Just how I want to bet. I
won't nirrce to nick out the man , for I always
want n double-header , so 1 will say that ho
will botmo of two whom I will name. Now ,
then , it Is my firm opinion , and I am so cor-
liiln of lithntl will stakn every dollar I
have on It , that the next postmaster of
Council Bluffs will bo cither .1. J. Stuadman
or I. M. Troynor , with the chances strongly
In favor of the latter. No , 1 have not re
ceived a pointer from Judge Reed , but that
is Just the way I want to bet , I know there
are a number who think that Judge Heed's
nephew , Will Beers , will got It , but I don't.
They argue that the fact that Gcorgo Phclps
has been given u place in the postofllco Is a
dead sure pointer that Beers will soon bo
transformed Into n lightning rod , but they
are a long way off.
"It is reported that Beers has already re
signed his position on the other side of the
river , but if ho has , ho will soon bo hunttnr
another one. My money says that It will
cither bo Stead man or Troynor. and if you
see any one Who Is Just as positive thut it
will not bo , you will confer a favor by send
ing him my way. Nominees lor county of
fices ! Well It h'ratucr hard to tollanythlng
doflnlto about that Just yet. I take very
kindly to the report that Tom Bowmun is
laving his lines to capture tbo nomination
for tieasurcr. . He IB cither after that or tha
audltorshlp , It seems to bo a settled fact in
the minds of the local democracy that the
Globe must Imvo one of the three principal
ofltces tnat become vacant this tall. There Is
no question but thut Dan Fnrrcll wants to bo
sheriff , and cuino up here for that very pur
pose , but he don't ' stand a ghost of a show
this year. Jimmies O'NoiU's friends wouldn't
stand It , and I rather think Fan-oil has
abandoned all hope of it for the present.
That leaves only the auditor's and treasur
ers oftlco for Bowman , and ho will un
doubtedly capture one. It nil depends on
how they can patch up matters , us to Just
which one it will be.

A Knthcr Unusual Until mil.
The following appeared In yesterdays
Issue of a morning paper :
"At the coming meeting of the board of
supervisors two things should bo done : Pro
vide for the cure and maintenance of the
sick and indignant and arrange for the
s.vstomlzing und proper care of the county
records. "
It is hardly probable that the writer of the
ubovo fully realized what It would east to
carry his advice into effect. It is all very
well to provide for the care and maintenance
of the sick , and such u move would un
doubtedly meet with the hoartv approval of
every good citizen , but when It comes to pro
viding for the maintenance of the indignant ,
the load becomes altogether too heavy.
Asu matter of fact , there are thousands of
indignant people in Council Bluffs uttho
present time ; Indeed , there are moro of thorn
here than la any other city of similar size in
the country , ana it is safe to say that If the
advice of the paper above quoted was fol
lowed , it would bo but a short time until the
entire population would DO overwhelmed in a
fit of Indignation over the result. TUB BEG
believes that the county should make
better provision for its sick ; in fact
it has repeatedly urged the necessity of the
erection of a county hospital or of making
adequate arrangements , on liberal terms ,
with cither ono or both tbo hospitals already
established , to care and provide for these
unfortunates. The pittance of 50 cents or a
dollar a week allowed the hospitals by the
county for each of its patients sent there is
little less than an insult to the noble ladles
in charge.
It would bo wretched compensation for
curing for a healthy person , to say nothing
of the multiplied attentions required by ono
prostrated by illness. It must bo under
stood that there are regular charity patients
to be cared for by tno hospitals , which fact ,
of itself , should protect them aguinst any
such imposition on the part of the county , as
in now practiced. In this particular there is
u demand for u radical change , und It can
not come too soon.
But when it comes to a proposal to furnish
wet nurses for all the indignant ones , TUB
BbB takes its stand with tbo opposition.
The condition of these patients is not in the
le.ist dangerous. It is a disease that will
cure Itself , and when the indignation swells
sufficiently , it will break upon the offending
cause , and when the smoke clours away
there will not bo onouirh of the cause loft to
lead to a recurrence of the disease. This
being the case , it is respectfully suggested
to the board of supervisors that there is no
need of their Interference In the matter , us
there are positive indications that the ma
jority of existing cases will bo cured on the
first Monday in March , at which time all
such cases of municipal indignation usually
find an effective panacea. As to the "sys-
leinizlng and proper care of tbo county rec
ords , " it may not bo out of place to inquire
"what's the matter with the court house und
county oftlccrsl"

Small Fruit.
There are few people who realize the 1m-
menso magnitude of the fruit growing Indus
try Of Council Bluffs. That it is one of the
most Important is admitted , but its extent
and the product in dollars and cents will
perhaps bo a revelation to many people In
the city us well as out of It.
TUB HEB has been making some Inquiries
und Investigations and finds there are ninety-
four fruit and vegetable gurdnors within a
radius of two miles ot the court houso. Only
n portion of these are engaged in fruit cul
ture , less than ono half of them , but their
combined product for every year is remarkable -
*
able but for the present year It is
simply astonishing. TUB BBC'S in *
qulrius have shown that during the
pieaeut season these men have harvested
and put Into market $100,000 worth of small
fruits uloau. This includes only berries of
all kinds , of wblcti the harvest is over. All
of these growers have largo vineyards and
the grape crop , or thut portion of it which
will be put on tbo market , will reach another
$100.000. Two hundred thousand dollars for
small fruits alone In one season makes the
fruit Industry of Council Bluffs suddenly
loom up into proportion of suniclcnt alzo to
attract attention all over the country ,
The products of the vegetable and flower
gardens xvill exceed the figures named , and
another . ' 00,000 can bo added us the exclu
sive product of kindred Industries , making u
grand total of nearly one-half million del
lars for the year as the product of the bills
Immediately surrounding Council lllulTa.
There are counties in the state whore the
product of the farms which reaches
the market anil returns In the
shape of cash U less than this small
portion of Pottawattauilo county. It U a
source ot wealth that ia perpetual and will
bo ever Increasing , for the market U as Inex
haustible ns the ftupply. Perhaps two-thirds
of all the Bluff ratted and sold has been de
livered in Omaha and the other third in
Council Bluffs. The ropld growth of the
two cities will afford n market that can never
bo glutted , that U within an hour's drive of
the producers nna that will always command
the best prices.
The figures show the valtto of the hill
property arottnd Council Bluffs , nnd contains
a suggestive hint to far-seeing speculators
and capitalists.

Yesterday was a great day for Falrmount
park , the number of people that visited that
charming spot during tbo day reaching well
in the thousands. Comparatively few of the
visitors drove to the park , nnd It Is not
probable that a single ono of them walked
up , although n few made the descent on foot ,
but the great bulk of travnl to and from
the park was over the electric
motor company's Madison street extension.
It showed clearly nnd indisputably what a
difference that extension is to make to the
park , it amply demonstrated the truth of
the assertion made many times heretofore
that tbo building of a line to the park would
would bring it close to the thousands of
homes of Council Bluffs nnd Omaha , und in
crease the number of Its visitors an hun
dredfold. Up to this time , many who bad
been the beauties of the place seldom vis
ited It because ot the tedious climb nec
essary In order to reach there , nnd
n great many moro had never mndo oven
their first trip for the very same reason. All
this difficulty Is now removed , nnd hereafter
the park will not lack for visitors. Yester
day there were fully a score of merry picnic
parties scattered alontr the grassy knolls
und through the shady glens of thin prottlost
of pretty parks. Many of them were com
posed of residents of the Bluffs , some of
whom had lived hero for years but 'had
never boioro visited the place.
Hut by far the greater number of visitors
were from Omaha. It was estimated that
between 1,000 and 1,500 of the residents of
the latter city spent the whole or n part ot
the day in the park. Even yet the goaoral
public does not fully understand what Is In
store for them at the end of the motor line ,
and there Is not the slightest doubt that
when they do realize what attractions are to
be found there , the motor Rorvico will bo
taxed to Its utmost capacity to accommodate
them.

Prof. M. F. Woyman , the gentleman who
has been elected first assistant teacher in the
high school , was scon yesterday by a BUB
representative , nnd asked concerning his Im
pressions of the city.
"Well. " said ho , "I must admit that my
first impressions wore anything but pleas
ing ; indeed , the city appeared quite distaste
ful to me , and I was inclined to bo wofully
hotncslcit , but this feeling was only momen
tary , and I will tell you what caused it.
"I came into the citv over the Kansas City
road , arriving at the local depot of the Bur
lington road. When I saw Unit rickety , turn-
ble down old rattletrap and the little cluster
'of ono-stnry cottages that He off to ono side
of it , I concluded thut Council Bluffs was
not tbo most attractive place In the world.
Since then , however , I have bad occasion to
change my mind. 1 have looked about the
city , and I am moro than pleased with it ,
nnd am convinced that it must be a
pleasing place in which to reside.
One thing which captivates mo is the num
ber of beautiful lawns which are to bo found
all over the clty.Jn the business center as
well as In the suburbs. Now , in Cincinnati ,
all this was different. You might almost
say that there isn't any croon in that city ,
and if you want to see a fine lawn you must
go out two or three miles. Hero it is so
different that you can imagine what a pleas
ing change it must bo. If ruther puzzles mete
to tell how everybody keeps their yards
looking so nicely.
"I find Council Bluffs to bo a city of at
tractive homes , and 1 also find rents very
reasonable for a western city. Yes , I met
Prof. Stevens the first day after I arrived In
the city , but it was not my first meeting with
him. Wo mot in Milwaukee , where I filled
the place as professor of natural sciences for
a time. Oh , I am well pleased with the out
look , and anticipate an enjoyable residence
hero. You have flno school buildings , pious-
ant people and an attractive city. What
moro would any reasonable man wanii"

THE MAN UNDER THE BED.
How a Woman Got the Host of.ft Vil
lain Who Wax Kant on KoW'urv.
Now York Letter : Ono day recently
in the rotunda of the Filth Avpnuo Ho
tel , a number of men were dismissing
the question of pluck and bravery fre
quently exhibited by persons advanced
in years. General IJun Mncauloy , now
n resident of this city , but forrnorly of
Indiana , related the most remarkable
Instance , as follows :
"Dr. Walker , about CO years of ago ,
and his wife , a few years younpor , to
gether with two grown sons , resided in
Indianapolis. Ono night Mrs. Wullcor
retired lute , but not to sleep , for she expected -
poctod her husband to como in from the
next room every moment. A light was
burning , nnd lyinij on horhod she could
see the floor at certain angles. Instead
of her husbana coming in she saw a vil
lainous-looking man , with a bowic
knife between his tooth , crawling
through the door ou all fours. In a
second ho disappeared under her
bod. Her husband then came
in , blow out the light , and .rot into hod.
"Mrs. Walker said nothing for a few
minutes , for eho was thinking of n
schema to capture the robber and snvo
herself and husband from being mur
dered. Finally she said aloud to her
husband : ' ! am thirsty ; I'll go and got
u drink of water. ' She got out of bed
and wont to the room whore her two
sons were Slcoping. Putting her hands
over the mouth of ono she whisuorod in
his oar that a man w > is under her bed
and that she wanted his pistol. The
son told her thai ho gnvo her the pistol
a few days ago , because she objected to
his having ono around loaded , Then
she remembered that she had hid it in
tbo basement room on top of n shelf.
'Wait , boys , I'll got it , ' &ho said. Go
ing down-stairs she passed another
robber , the pal of the ono under the
bed , though she was unaware of it ut
thut tiino.
"After stumbling around in the dark
she managed to lind the pistol and
hastily rushed upstairs with it. In the
meantime her husband suspected that
something was the mutter , hocauso she
had consumed so much time in getting
drink of water. The robber hocamo
'suspicious ' also and was milling himself
from under tlm bed , and had almost
assumed a sitting position , his
face toward the bed and the
knife still clutched between his
tooth when the old doctor was in the not
of springing to the floor. Without a
moment's hesitation the doctor tumbled
right on the robber and dealt him u
powerful blow in the faco. They both
fell to the iloor , the doctor on top and
gamely punching him at every oppor
tunity. It was a short ul'd ' desperate
struggle. The robber attempted to out
the doctor , hut the latter knocked the
knife out of his hand. In tumbling
around the robber got out his pistol
and pulled tlio trigger , but the old doo-
tor seized his wrltWth tlmo and the ball
Htruck the coilQy { With n strong
olTort the robber extricated himself
from the doctor nnd'Van ' for the door.
"Tho son , whunliad the pistol his
mother had broughti'lilm ' , thought that
hie father was dc.td/hnd resolved to kill
the murderer nt nll-'hn/.ztxrds. ' Ho mot
the robber face tdf ftto in the door nnd
ilrod point blank at his breast.
Instead of falUngtljij robber rushed out.
The doctor , hoariii'g the report of hla
son's pistol , thought the robber had
shot his wife in gftifig out. In a few
seconds the hrav id ] cottplo were safe
in each other's nrms. and the next
morning the body of the notorious roh-
bor nnd desperado. 'Hoosier' Bill .Rodl-
for. .vnn found in tno back yard with a
bullet through his breast. Nowuontlo-
men , don't you think that old woman
had pluck in a wonderful degree , and
that her husband was worthy in every
way to bo her matoV"
The Musical SOUBO In Horses.
The interesting report regarding the
development of the musical sense in
horses nas just boon made by a coinmlt-
tee of German zoologists and botanists.
The report says : "Tho investigations as
to the musical eon so in horses have
shown that that sense is poorly devel
oped in these animals. It Ims boon
proved beyond doubt that horses have no
notion whatever of keeping tlmo to mu
sic , and tlmt at circuses they do not
dance according to the tune , but that
the musicians have to boon time accord
ing to the stops of the nnfinals. Olhor
investigations show that horses do not
understand military trumpet signals. It
is only the ridorortho animal's instinct
of imitation whioh induces horses to
mnko the moves required by the signal ,
but no horse wltlout a rider , however
carefully trained , takes the slightest notice -
tico of a trumpet signal , and the saino
observation has boon made on n , largo
number of cavalry horses without rid
ers. "
