AVIth not a sucgoition ot a shiver In the
nir , with a regular May sunshlno bathing
the worm earth and clothing the swards ami
flolds with bright green vcrduro , Christmas
day catno upon Council Uluffs with noth log
to indicate the fact but the happy confusion
of the children nnd the beautiful feasts that
were spread alike in palace and horol Old
Winter , the ever present guest who has
never failed horotororo to give zest to this
most jojonsof all the festivals of the year ,
failed to make liitu olt felt , but in his place
was the warm breath from the aotlth bearing -
ing the odor of orange blossoms , The day
will long be remembered as the warm
Christmas Houses were open , birds sing
ing uml twittering in the open windows ,
croquet and luwn tonnls being played and
nil kinds of outdoor sports and games In
dulged In
ttK.ven in the hovels whore ninny ot the so-
called necessaries of llfo are often wanting
there was n feeling of pleasure thatthu hope
less , aimless inmates seldom experience , for
nsido from the fnct that the exceeding mild
ness of the wonthcr was not trnking inroads
on the fuel , the less fortunate ones m all
pnrls of the city had been generously re-
moinberod by these blessed with a larger
portion of this worlds goods Hundreds of
wolf filled biskt't * were distributed , and
mnny a bundle of half worn clothing brought
comfort nnd something ukin to contentment
to these whom Christmas would otherwise
have boon a dny lo be blttorly romombared
ns nn occasion that brought out oen moro
forcibly than uuul the painful contrast be
tween the faVorcd uud the unfortunate , the
rich nnd the poor
In many liomes family reunions or frioudly
gatherings wore bold and the hours sped
pleasantly Special features nnd attractions
for the amusement mid entertainment of the
pleasure suckers were not numerous , nnd the
citizens were left to dovlso iheii own plans
for passing the day nnd it must have re
sulted successfully , for on nil sides pleasant ,
contented faces abounded , and the general
opinion seemed to exist thai little was want
ing to make it a model Christmas
It was nn unusually happy Christmas for
nil classes of people During the morning
the churchgoers filled all tlio places of di
vine worship that were open In nearly all
the churches special services were hold In
St Paul's Kplscopul church n splendid ser
vlco was carried out The holiday decora
tions were nbundunt and beautiful Kcv T.
J. Mackav read the usual servlco and
preached n powerful sermon , the music was
un especially line feature and tlio surpllccd

Special scrvlcos were held In the First
Baptist church , chlcllv for the idiildrcn The
house was filled with llttlo people , who were
addressed by pastor , Ilov Ur Cooley
In the other churches the Christmas soi-
vices were carried out us announced in yesterdays
terday's Heb , and largo congregations as
sembled in all of them
At the charitable Institutions there was
joy and feasting Cieuerous and kindhearted
citizens had remembered tbem all , nnd none
bad cause to bollovo that they had been for
gotten or neglected In tbolr sicmiess , Infirm
ity or misfortune
The effect , of Christmas was noticeable
nt the Jails Judge Aylesworth
gave every prisoner at the city
Jail his liberty as a Christmas
gift and allowed them to seek luruey where
they would This was , of course , out of the
question at the county jail , anil Sheriff
O'Neill ' provided a gonulno turkey dinner
lor his numerous boarders At the institute
for the deaf and dumb Supcrluiondont
Hothori uiovidod n grand feast and the fes
tivities were of tlio most enjoyable character
At the hotels the tables were supplied
with almost every thing that the Inner man
could desire At the Pacific , Jameson ,
Ocdon , Kiel , Creston , Hovoro and others
olnborato Dills of fare were offered , but as Is
generally the case , the patron.igo was rather

for about eighty iots There are now only
about twenty lots more to place at an aver
agoof OO each , or $1,000 moro to ralso to
plnco this grand institution in excellent
financial condition , The oxocutlVo commit
tee Insist that the required amouut be fully
provided before they will authorize the con

oxoolleuco of the future programme is dependant -
pendant on the iminediato provision of this

time beu ) make up the small amount heeded
' 1 ho selection of eighty lots will Insure the
building of twenty-Uvo cottages with the
opening of spriugund further increase the
number of the rouidont families on tlio
grounds It Is evident that 200 persons are
Intending to purchase lots and so have acorn
fortablo summer homo Tbo longer such
parties wait , with so many lota sold , the
farther they will need to go from the amphi
theater and there will also bo less
lots from which to choose , Wbou

These purchasing the first 100 lots will got
30 pur cent from the appraised valuation of
the lots This will uot bo given after the
llrst 100 are tuKen Only twenly moro lots

These few lots being placed , attention will
bo given to the programme , it is proposed
to have a programme lu no way interior to
that of 18SU. It is also the purpose to erect
cottages ana make other improvements on
tbo grounds , to secure bettor facilities ot

which afforded niuusomont to nil these
pn8 eiicor8 who became nwnro of It , suys
the Now York Sun Hu wns seated di
rectly behind tlio last cross se.U in the
cnr In front of lain was a young woman
who was devoting her time to watching
the windows on the opposite side of the
street as tlio train sped along She was
young and pretty Without her knowl
edge n few tresses of her blonde hair
had escaped from under her bonnet , and
had fallen ever the shoulder ol the man
behind her , and lmd In sotno unex

one or two dellcuto attempts to remove
the wiindonng tresses , but was so timid
thai , ho only entangled them the moro

fingers trembled and after fumbling
away until the guard had closed tlio

she gave ono violent yank at the two
tresses breaking them off and leaving
the ends still entwined around the miserable -

IN THE CliUTOIlCS OP A HIIAU
An ISxclting Kxparinncc in North
western Wisconsin
One of the most remarkable and exciting -
citing experiences ever recorded . in
connection with the sottlomcnt of the
northwestern Wisconsin wilderness is
reported from Unity , a station on the
Wisconsin Central railway
Ono duy last week a woodman named
Kleinert , together with his two small
children , a boy and a git'l.wcnfinto
the woods a short distance from the
station to pick wild blaekborrics
Kleincl't , as 5b customary with bottlers ,
tnklnir along with him his Winchester
rifle
riflo.Ho
Ho had become somewhat separated
from the children , when ho was startled
by hearing the little boy screaming at
the top of his voice , and upon running
to the spot , wns horrillod to find that n
largo black boar had dashed from the
dense thicket near which the children
wore nicking berries , nnd , catching up
the little girl , was making off with her
through the woods at a rapid rate
The scronins of his child , who was in
the clutches of the bear , nerved Klein
ert to immodiuta action , says the Mil
waukee Sentinel , aud grasping his rifle
ho hurriedly followed throuirh the
woods in the direction from which the
screams proceeded
Owing to the denseness of the forest
ho could see neither the child nor bear ,
und was mainly guided by the scream
ing of the child After ho had pro
ceeded about twenty rods ho suddenly
canto upon the bear , who was standing
upon his haunches in u little opening ,
with the child struggling and sercaming
ut his foot
The boar showed fight and inado
ready to potmco upon Kleinort , when ho
brought his trusty Winchester into use
and firodshooting the bear through the
head nnd killing him instantly
Beyond being badly scrutohed by the
bears claws and her clothing torn to
shreds , the little girl was unharmed ,
and at present writing appears to sudor
no Injury The bear was a largo ono of
the male species and weighed 4:50 :
pounds

BETTER THAN A GOLD MINE
ti Now Process for the Cheap Pro
duction of Aluminum
If nil that isclaimed , tor it proves true
Atlanta will como to the front with ono
• of the most viiluublo Inventions of the
ago , says the Constitution of that city
It is a process by which aluminum can
bo nroducod without the use of sodium
nhtl at acost , so exceedingly low us to bo
only nominal
Mr Saniuol Ooodo , ono of the four
gentlemen who control the now dis
covery , is conlldont that it will prove
nn entire success , both as to production
of the mottil nnd the cost iittendutit
thereon In fact , exports have ulrondy
tested the process , and recently Mr
Geode showed to the reporter ana sev
eral ether gentlemen at his olllco snm-
ples , both in the rough and finished , of
the metal us produced by the iuvontiou
in which ho is interested
IIo has had the matter under develop
mout for some time past , and has corre
sponded with exports ull ever the coun
try in regard to it The replies ho has
received uro of an exceedingly flntWring
nnturo , nnd tioffWintlons have already
boon oponcd will ! capitalists in Now
York for the initp oof putting the pro
cess into operation1 !
Aluminum is'qiui of the mosl vnlunblo
matuls known , ijit on account of its o.\-
poiiRlvoiiens it hitsJ bcon comparatively
little used It is lighter In weight than
wood and in sll ngth and hardness
onunl to steel Anuthor boauly of the
molal is that it toll not rust or corrode ,
but always preserves a beautiful , clear
surface Witht these qualities it is
easily seen how'psqful ' and what a revo
lution in many najs such an nrtlelo
would ninko if it c ' 1 o.lild only ho produced
at a nominal cost
Prof Henry Donning , nn eminent ex
pert to whom Mr Cioodo was recoin-
mended by the editor of the Now York
Journnl of Commerce , in a letter ro-
eeived the ether afternoon , staled that
if the newly dlscovorod process would
produce aluminum at the figure nor
pound indicated by Mr Geode in a low
years would without doubt bo the
wealthiest man in America Attempts
almost ns nuinorous as the efforts to dis
cover perpetual motion have boon mndo
to produce the wonderful niotal without
the use of sodium nnd nt n smnll cost ,
but so far all have fullod
The largest manufacturing establish
ment in tlio world where aluminum is
inado is located in Nuwbury , England
It covers eight acres of ground and re
presents nn invested capital of $ • ' 5,000-
000. There the minimum cost of pro
duction is $1.88 pot pound and nqwharo
else can it bo'tnttdo for loss than $5 per
pound In largo quantities it is whole
saled at $7.50 a pound , and rotuils In
many Instances at % \l \ and ? 11 an ounce
With these figures it will at once bo
seen what a bntuuuu is possessed by the
Ailnnta gentlemen They claim the
metal lias boon already produced by
their process , that they can manufac
ture the aluminum as low as sfl per
pound , and under favornblo circum
stances probably at a less figure
The sccrot tit the process , hays Mr
Geode , was discovered by a well-known
Atlanta man , a elienilst who has ex
perimented with it for eight years or
moro before finally bringing it to per
fection

HEROES OF BUENA VISTA
It wns Not • IcfTerHOn DnviH who Snvcd
that Memorable llnttlc
George S. Fisher , Firs , t Illinois rogl-
mont , in the Washington Post : So
much has boon said and wrltton before
and sllico the death of Jefferson Davis
in eulogy of his bravery nnd military
skill that is entirely extravagant and
not in ncccrd with facts , that the writer
will bo pardoned for what ho now writes ,
mbro in sorrow than in anger , notwith
standing the exaggeration both of can
dor and truth
People so enslly forgot , much moro
enslly than they forgive , Many of the
ouloglsts of Mr Davis forgotthtit it was
the army of the United States ifs few
regulars nnd volunteer forces that
saved the bnttlo of Buena Vi ta , the
writer being ono of the survivors of the
latter force
Tlio glorifiersof Mr Davis , who clnini
him as the here ' of Monterey and
"BuotiU Vista , " forgot General Znok
Taylor , Old tick ; " General John R.
Wool , und Colonels Yell , McKee , Clny ,
Hardin and Bisscll in the parts they
took at liiiona Vista , all four of the
colonels falling , thrco of thorn in the
Inst grnnd repulse of Sautn Anna's
charges on that bloody field
The fact , the incontrovertible fact ,
is , so far from Dnvls and the gallant
regiment of Misslssippinns ho com
manded , saving that battle , the mon of
which were bravo as ever mon dnrod to
bo Davis blundering in the hazardous
formation of his regiment in the form
ot the letter V. thus opening his force
to recoiyo a charge ho and his regiment -
mont were only saved from annihilation ,
notwithstanding the bravery of his men
by the Second Indianiaus , under
Colonel Knno , and the Second Illinois ,
under Colonel Hissell , und but for Colonel
nel Blssoll's rapid movement there
would in all human probability hnvo
boon no Colonel Jell Davis and but fo.v
if any of his regiment loft to toll tlio
talc of Huona Vista The movement of
Colonel .ToiT Davis was a blunder , and
nothing but the lighting qualities of his
mon and that of tho-Soeond Illinois and
Second Indinna rogimunts saved him
then nnd there
As for Davis extraordinary military
manoouver being the turning point of
the great battle the greatest battle
ever fought on the continent up to the
war ot the rebellion it was not to bo
compared with the later repulse of the
charge by Santa Anna with 5,000 , in
fantry , supported by artillery upon the
plateau , wVicro tlio famous order was
given , "A little more grape , Cnptaiu
Ilragg " nor the ono later still , with
still heavier and moro formidable bat
talions , upon tlio pass of Angostura , ' '
between arnyos on the right und the
hill , " where Washington's battery ot
the Fourth artillery , supported by the
Second Kentucky and First Illinois
regiments and a few regulars , resislod
it , and where Colonels McKee , Clay and
Hardin all fell within a few yards of
each other _
Rcadors of history nncFcongressional
debates ought to remember , if not ,
miuy living witnesses do , that upon
that ocension the skill and bravery of
Mr Davis , the subject of debate in
congress , was said to have saved Gen
crul Taylor's army "a disgraceful rout , "
and northern bravery was discounted
at Buena Vista !
Colonel William II Bissell , then a
member of the house of representatives ,
denounced the above statement , and
declared it was the couardico of Davis
that nearly lost that Hold ; that north
ern troops saved that bittlo This led
to a challenge to Colonel Bisuoll by
Davis that lie ( Bissell ) must retract
his charge or" light Colonel Bisse'l '
accoptcd the challenge ; weapons ' dis
tance , time and place were agreed upon
for the meeting Colonel Bissell , with
friends and nsurgcon , was on thoground
on time Mr Davis did not como to
time
General Taylor was then president ,
the father-in-law of Davis , and by him
{ ho duel was provontcd by reasons ot
state that such disgrace should not bo
enacted for words spoken in debate ,
otc ; besides it became Known that the
weapons and distance meant death to
ono or bothf The truth was Colonel
Bissell meant business , no was not to
bo cowed IIo know his rights and the
kind of 8tuIV his antagonist was made of
and that northern blood and courage
were as sacred as southern blood and
couraL'o ever could bo
Men who knew the battle ot Buena
Vista , who were there , and who know
Davis and Bibsoll ut the time of the debate -
bate referred to , never doubted what
the result of that light would have boon
nnd the writer unhesitatingly affirms
that Colonel Bibsell would not in nil
probability have missed hib aim A
braver , nobler , cooler , truer Christian
soldier never pulled a trigger or drew
a blade , and ho contributed ton fold
moro to the saving of the battle of
Buena Vista than did JolTorson Davis
Had not Colonel Yell of Arkansas
boon killed by the unfortunate break
ing of his horses brldlo bit ho could
have told moro of this story than Mr
Davis wildest eulogists ever dronmod
of in their oxtravnganco ; and the deaths
of Colonels Hardin , McKee , Clay , und
Yell sealed lips that , living , could toll
of the bravo deeds of Buena Vista that
certainly Mr Davis look no part in , and
which had more to do in saving that
bnttlo , next to the undaunted American
heroism that survived it , that did not
know when it was whipped , " as Gen
orul Taylor oxprcssod it , than Mr
Davis qvor thought or dronmod of
