Yesterday was the Hrst any of perfect rest
that Mrs J D Edmundson has known since
1S05 On the night previous tbo angel of
death touched the w eary oclids and closed
them in the unconsciousness of dreamless
slumber Years of patient suffering dating
from her early girlhood , when a playful
schoolmate was the innocent means of in
Hiding serious spinal injuries by pulling a
chair from beneath her , have endeared her
to her friends , an 1 hundreds received the
intollienco ( ibatdgath had rolloved her with
a sigh that had bopo in it and something
moro than simple sympathy They will bo
still further rejoiced to learn that death
cumo painlessly , like a holy benediction •
She died at tbo residence of her parents ,
Dr and Mrs H W Hart , where Bho and
her husband have lived for many years , at 7
o'clock on Wednesday evening She was the
only daughter and older child , aud was born
October 24 , 1848 in Rock county , Wisconsin
Sua has been a resident of Council
Bluffs for nearly twenty two years In
18T3sno was married to Mr Ldmundson , but
was then suffering from the oftectsof hcrun
fortunate accident Evcrv thing that tbo
best medical skill and the tondcrcst
euro could accomplish was done to relieve
nor but every moment of her life
was passed in distressing pain Three years
iio she rccoived a great deal of benefit from
motuphvsicil treatment , and was ublo to
walk and drive about the streets Her
friends wore verv much rejoiced , and in tbo
hope of effecting , ! ! still grcator improvement
Mr Edmundson took her on an extensive
Luropoan trip , visiting all the principal
pointB of interest and famous health resorts
on the continent On the return she was
stricken shortly af toi leaving Paris and was
entirely unconscious during the remalndor
of tbo trip borne As keenly as she enjoyed
the first part ot the tour , and us much as a
brilliant , educated woman like her could ob
serve , it was all lost and forbotton in tbo
complete paralysis that followed From that
attack she nev er-rallicd but was stricken to
complete bolplessuess
through all her sufferirgs she was bus
taincd by a Christian fortitude that was as
sublime as it was touching Sbo was refined
by her suffering , nnd her life was something
more than simply beautiful
Mr Ldmundson was out of town when
she dlod , having Btarted for Des Moines the
day previous It was his tlrst ab > once from
the city for months bho did not appear to
bo any worse than usual , but on the con
trary was reinarkod to bo brighter and moro
cheerful than ov < r up to within a moment
before her deatb bho bad been receiving
her friends during tbo early part of the
ovcnlng , had eaten her supper and boon put
to bed Her mother bad accompanied the
departing guests n short distance and only
her father was in the room bho felt tbo
approach of death and called to him She
put her unns about his neck and murmured ,
I cant stand this Good-bv , father , I am
going , " with the lust uroath she draw lho
imuiodiato cause of death was heart failure
Mr Edmundson was communicated with by
wire , but could not reach homo until morn
ing , too iato to moro th.iu kiss the lips that
bad never sy llabled a harsh word
lliu funeral will taKe place from the res

A BLOODSUCKING PLANT
Strange VcRotnlilo Growth round in
Central American bwitnips
Leiov Dunstan , the v\oil-known na
turalist of this city who htvs i < scontty to-
turned from Conttal Amarica , where ho
had spent notirlj tvvovearsin the study
of the ilora nnd fauna of the countiy ,
relates the II lull up of a slngultu growth
in ouo of the swamps which sutiound
the great lake ot Nictuasjua , vvntes aNew
Now Oi loans correspondent of the Richmond
mend ( Va ) State ilo was onpngod in
hunting fet botmical and entomologi
cal specimens in this swamp , which is
known ns Sail Sebastian's , when ho
hoard his dog cty out as f in ugony
from a distance Running to the spot
from which the animal s cries c imcMr
Dunstnn found him onvoloprd in a per
fect notwotk ol what seemed to bo a
fineo rope hko tibsuo of roots or floors ,
thonatutoof which was unknown to
bunTho
The plant or vine seemed composed
entirely ot buro , interlacing stems , 10-
sombllng moro than any thing else the
branches ot the vvoeplng willow denuded
of all foliage , but of t darknonrlv bl iclc
hue and covered with a thick viscid
gum that exuded from the pores
Drawing his kmfoMr Dunstan ondenv-
oiod to the animif free , but it was
only with the greatest difficulty that ho
succeeded in severing the fleshy , mus
cular flbor To Ins honor and amaze
ment the n ituialist then saw that the
dogs body was covered with blood ,
while his hniileas skin appe ired to have
boon actually bucked or plucked in
spotb , aud the animal staggered as if
from weakness and exhaustion
In cutting the vine the twigs curlnd
like living sinuous lingers about Mr
Dunstan's hand , and it roauirod no
slight force to free the moinboi fiom Its
clinging chi3p , which left the flesh red
and blistered The gum exuding fiom
the vine was of a dark grayish tinge ,
remarkably adhcslvo undo a dis igieo-
able animal odor , verv . powerful and
nauseating to inhale
The native soi vants who accompanied
M Dunstan manifested the greatest
hoiror of the vine , whicti they call la
sagenas de diablo , the devils soin , or
snare and wore full of stories of its
death-dealing powers , Ono of those1 !
stories was of an Englishman residing
in Managua , who , while hunting in the
swamps a few years bcfois , lay dowu be
neath i tree where a largo and powoi-
ful Bpocimon of this singular plant was
growing , and inadvertently falling
asleep , uvvoko to find himself enveloped
in its web , and in spite of every effort
made to extricate him , perished in its
deadly embrace
Another story was of an oscaDed con
vict who had hidden in the swamp , und
whoso bones had boon found in the folds
of the sagonas only a shoi t time before
Mr Dunstan's ' visit These stories , re
markable as they may scorn , are firmlv
believed in bv the people , but the only
thrco spccimons which Mr Dunstan
was able to ilnd were all small ones ,
though the incshos of the largest would
probably , if extended in a sti alght line ,
monsuro nonrlv of not quito 100 foot
Ho was able todiscovor very little about
the natuieof the plant , owing to the
difficulty of handling it , for its grasp
can only bo totn away with loss-of skin
and oven of flesh , but , as noai as Mr
Dunstan could ascertain , its povvor of
suction is contained in n numboi of in-
flnltcsmal mouths or littln suckers ,
which , ordinarily clcod , open for the
locoption of food
Tlio gum exuded seems to soivo the
two fold put peso of increasing its te
nacity and of overcoming a viotim bv
its sickening odor The plant is found
only in low wet places , and usually beneath -
noath a largo tree , and whllo dormant ,
seems only a network of dtydead vines ,
covering the black earth for several
feet , but , coming in contact with any
thing , will Instantly begin to twist aud
twine upward in a hoiriblo , lifelike
manner , breaking out with the gum
like substance spoken of boforoand on-
u nip tlio object with a celerity that is
almost incredible
If the substance is animal the blood
is drawn oil and the carcass or refuse
than dropped A lump of raw moat
being tin own it in the short time of live
minutes the blood will bo thoroughly
drunk off and the mass thrown aside
Its voracity is almost beyond belief , it
devouring nt ono time ton pounds of
meat , though it may bo deprived of all
food for weeks without any apparent
loss of vitality Mr Dunstun ttttompt ute
to bring nway a rootot the bagouas , bnt
it died during his return voyage , grow
ing bo foul with a strong odor of real
animal corruption that ho was obliged
to got rid of it '
HE BIT OFF ITS HEAD
How a JJexIcnn Indian Dnttlod With
a Boa ConBirlntnr
Ono dav last wool : an Indinn made an
excursion to a mountain near Cheyunt-
ziourm , state of Miehocau.in Mexico ,
look after bomo fuel for his hut Whllo
cutting up a diy oak ho suddenly felt a
bite on the cult of his log , given in the
f no lion of n second A moment later
ho felt , colling round his body , the terrible -
riblo folds of a boa constrictor Instinct
ively ho leaned his head over toward his
woundoa leg and was almost fascinated
by the glare of two bright basilisk o\es ,
that gleamed Hko liory coals in the
head of the serpent
QuioLor than a flash the Indian
ducked his head and ruught the neck of
the reptile botvroen his jaws , sinking
his teeth in the qulvoiing flesh and
clinging to it with the desperation of
the uy lug The hugo serpent lashed
its tail and niod to twist its head in eider -
dor to bury its tangs in the Indian , but
tbo latter clung on and bognn to ohew
away at the neck of the boa , which is
the thinnest aud moat delicate part of
the snakes anatomy After ehowing
for a long time the Indian succeeded in
beheading his antagonist , the folds
dropped from around his body and the

rirst Gun for Consnllilnllon
South Omaha vvns out last night in full
force Howloy's ball was filled to Its full
setting capacity with representative mon
who wantoa to hear the merits and demerits
of annexation discussed
They were disappointed when the Omaha
visitors arrived to learn that nothing la the
line of extended or statistical addresses
would bo made touching the absorbing sub
jeet of annexation About S o'clock Messrs
Christian Ilartman , Q M Hitchcock , Al A
Upton , W.V. . Crarv , D D Swoaton und
Morris Morrison of Omaha came Into the
Imll , and n programmo for the ovcnlng was
hastily prepared
David Anderson callcl the mooting to
order and mimed Muyor Sloauo foi chairman
11 C Lauo was deputized to act as sccro
tary
Christian Ilartman , prosldont of the
Omaha real estate oxchanco was
the first Bpoaker Introduced Ho
apologized to the meeting for the lack
ot a larger attendance from the committees
appointed in Omaha to agitate the question
of annexation , but explained their absence
by reason of the fact that it required tlmo to
work up tangtblo and rellablo statistics on
the subject and the Omaha people were not
prepared to do Justice to the points Involved
Inst night At a futura meeting they would
v lslt South Omnha bettor prepared to present -
sent their case
Q M Hitchcock was presented to Clay or
Sloauo Ho said ho would endeavor to show
some of the adv intagos of annexation 1 ho
reasons given by some of tbo oupoticnts of
annexation in South Omaha wcro so vuguo
they were hard to answer The postolllco
question was explained and the assertion
that bouth Omaha would bo deprived of
her prcsont postal facilities dis
posed of New forks By stem of
postofllces was illustrated aud tbo same ays
tern under annexation would upplv In South
Omaha , glv ing her oven bettor postal faclli
ti"s than sbo now enjoys Taxation was a
question uppermost in the minds ot South
Omaha s property owners If they honostlv
could show that taxation would bo Increased
by annexation then ho could not blame them
for opposing it , for excessive taxation is ano
of the greatest burdens Imposed on | the
American people But taxation would not
bo increased in South Omaha by annexation
In tbo matter of municipal indebtedness
South Omaha has everything to gain by con
solidution Omaha s bonds sell at a premium
vvhilo South Omaha's go begging for pur
chasers In tbo financial marts of the world
Even now the spoiker asserted South
Omaha is bonded $100 000 more than
the law allows It to bo Nothing
need bo feared from annexation in
the pushing of i public improve
ments Tbo interests ot both cities are
common and the interest of one is the inter
est of all Consolidated thcro would boa
unity of feeling th it would promote the ad
vancement of both Ho had hoard it said
that the politicians and ofllccsoekers and
officeholders were opposed to annexation ,
fearing that the public flesh puts would
slip from their grasp , but ho did not be
lie vo it
Mr Hitchcock then took up the advantages
to bo derived this year , and only this year ,
from a good showing id the national census
report The record at , 1890 stands for the
next ten yeais , and the population credited
Omaha uo matter what her , growth during
the intervening years , Ms official and un
changeable lit all statistical publications
until 1SJO Whatever Omaha suffers from a
lower count than is expected , so must South
Omaha suffer Omhha and South Omaha
should emulate tbo example of Chicago and
her suburbs and take hold of the advantage
given them to make a creat name for thorn
Bolves throughout tbe land Chicago is now
the second citv in the land in population and
will enoy a remarkable growth and boom
as tbo result of annexation
J. H Van Dusen , esq , of Soutb Omaha
followed Mr Hltchcowr Ho contended that
tbo money lenders of the cast would look
with suspicion on an application for a loan
on property located four miles from the bust
ness center of Omaha and that would bo the
case witb South Omaha applications for
loans if annexation occurs South Omaha is

TURNED UPSIDE DOWN
How IJIk JTurtlOB are Cnpturctl by

The South sea islands are the place
for tui ties , aim the islanders are exports
at captuung the clumsy cie iturcs
There are sovoril cuiious vvajs of
capturltg thorn When hlticr asleep
on the vvator in tht sun , a canoe will
silontlv approach , Its crow soi/o the
animal and tumble him aboird before
ho knows where ho Is " Ho is turned
on his back , fet otherwise ho would
climb out and swamp the boat in short
order
A native will also swim up nuiotly
behind the sleeping crontuto , spring on
the back of his shell and hold on in such
a way that ho cannot dive Having no
idea of escaping in any othet wnv , ho
cm bo steered whithorsoevoi his captor
chooses Considerable ngllltv and
noivo are necessarv 111 accomplishing
this feat for if the man should miss his
leap and fall bade into the witer he Is
liable to bo dancerously cut bv the animals
mal's ilippors
An inexpert person , or ono who
wished to have some fun with the tur
tle might grasp him bv the tail The
turtle has his idea of a joke , too , which
is Instilltly to shut his tail close up to
his body , whereby the mans hand is
hold fast as in a vice , and then dive
with him to the bottom of the sea
Most of the turtles aio captured on
the beaches , whither the females land
to lay their eggs and the males accom
pany thorn out of gallantry or to keep
guard
. The eggs aio laid in a porpendlculnr
cavity about a yard deep , at the bottom
of a croat circular excavation , which
the female scrapes bv whirling round
hko a ily with its wings singed , and
violently plying its ilippors
When surprised the tut Uo offers 110
resistance , but makes off at a pace sur
prisingly rapid in bo clumsy nn animal
and which a good ruunor can haidly
kcop up with in the sand
To turn a turtle weighing 400 pounds
on its back and thus capture it whllo it
is scuttling through deep sand lequhes
moro knack than otiongth A turtles
progress on land iB bv a series of wi Ig-
gllng jerks fiom sldo to side , aud the
Usher , taking advantage of the moment
when it cants nway fiom him overturns
it with ease
lho young are hatched In a month ,
making their uppoiranco when about
the bizo of an American silvci dollar ,
and are propired to begin life on their
own hook at once , which they do by
rushing into the sea ns rapidly as possi
