between four candidates , C. I ) . Will-
tors , the present chief , William Ilaigh ,
Frank Levin and John Bonn. They received
from one to four votes each , and after n good
deal of discussion the matter was laid on the
table , whilu the council proceeded to elect n
street supervisor and poll tax collector. F.
Johnson and A. ,1. MeLcren were elected to
the respective olllces , and a very general re
gret has been expressed that thu veteran 0110-

was retired.
Ballotting for chief of the fire department
was then resumed and a largo number of bal
lots were iaken without result , and the coun
cil adjourned until yesterday afternoon.
Upon reassembling at 'A o'clock the alder
men went into the struggle for the chief
taincy of the lire department again. It lasted
not long , for came that had six HtUo ayes in
it for Frank Levin , nnd ho was declared
elected.
A linal attempt was nmdo to pass the anti-

council , hut when put upon its linal passage
it was killed , the four republican members
voting for it and the three democrats against ,
six being necessary to its passage.
Several other minor ordinances were

The general merchandise store of Chris.
Larson at i > 07 South Main street was burglar
ized at an early hour yesterday morning , and
about < )00 worth of goods taken. The bur
glary attracts a little more than usual attention
for the reason that it was so boldly planned
and executed and such a large amount of
heavy goods taken. The store is located in a
two-llopred frame building , and Is protected
from the alley by u high board fence which
encloses a small yurd. Thu proprietor lives
above the store with his family , and has the
reputation of being very vigilant in protecting
his worldly g < x > ds and treasures. But despite
his caution , bolts and burs , the thieves drove
up to his premises on the alley side , broke
open the alley gate , forced the rear door of
the store and carried out a full wagon load of
grocoritts and dry goods. Thonoiso awakened
Mr. Lai-son , but he supposed it was some be
lated teamster putting away his team , and
turned over with a mental malediction upon
the night owls in general and went to sleep
again. When hu camodown to open the store
In the morning it resembled old Mother Hub-
bard's cupboard. It was very , verv bare.
The goods taken covered every line the un
fortunate merchant carried , and it must have
required an hour's steady work for the
thieves to carry the -stuff uwuy and load it in
their wagon.
The noise they made also attracted the at
tention of others. Charley Foxley , the deputv
city clerk , was held in the city building until
after o'clock by the extended session of tlio
council , and when passing in front of the
building on his way homo heard the work
going on , and afterwards heard the team
being driven rapidly away.
Larson places his loss at u higher figure-
than JiKHi , but a careful estimate placed upon
the value of tlio goo'ds taken indicates that it
will about approximate that llgure. The loss
is a heavy blow to Mr. Larson , who is ono of
the best Scandinavian citizens in the city ,
and has built up u prolitublo business In thu
face of serious ditllculties.
The police have several pretty dellnito clues
to work upon. One of the new officers ar
rested a stranger who gave the name of AV.
P. Duck , on suspicion and on general princi
ples. Ho was required to spend the night In
the city Jail and will have a hearing before
Judge Mugeo. this morning. Ho will prob
ably bo discharged immediately after ar
raignment , as there is said to bo nothing con
necting htm with the crime.
' Yesterday afternoon the ofliccrs working
on the case found two suits of old clothing
hidden in the alloy near Larson's store.
When taken to the central station thuy weru
identified us the clothes worn by two young
vagrants , Charlie Hanson and Albert Sum-
inomls , who completed u ten day's sentence
on Myaday mornim ; . They have loft town
and the probability Is they wore some of tlio
clothing taken from Larson's. The officers are
t.utlulled they wore implicated in the burglary
and had an accomplice who owns u team anil

A renl nice looking young man who has
plowed through twenty-three annual corn
fields In the neighborhood of Ids home In Ma
nilla , In. , came to town yestenlay mid told all
whom ho met and became acquainted with
that his name waa Nelson AVestover ami that
ho had about f''O In his pocket. He did not
have It long. Ho meandered through the
streets nml saw n good many things novel
and strange. Finally he saw thu great post-
office building looming skyward and wonder
ing what It could bo ho concluded to wander
through it. Ho found among other things an
Interesting stranger. Hu wus n well dressed ,
slick , smooth fellow who had apparently
reveled In this world's blessings , but Just
then he was badly in need of $2U. The man
from Manilla had It , and the interesting
stranger offered to borrow It for Just a few
moments , und would give him as security for
its safe return n check for the vast amount of
* 1,100. The young man from Manilla hai
heard of but had never seen so much money
and ho longed to get the crisp look
Ing paper Into his possession for * an
instant anyhow. The stranger felt the same
way , and it was not long until the aspirations
of both were grattlled. The Manilla man was
content to hold the valuable piece of paper in
his hand while the stranger took a little walk ,
hut he was sorely tempted to run away will
the check , yet was honest enough and
wouldn't stc.il the stranger's monev and rush
away to the bank and get It cashed. No , ho
would satisfy himself with looking at It
a while and dreaming what ho could do with
it if it was his , and then he would go and hunt
up the owner. Ho tried both , but
failed completely in the latter. The strangei
had disappeared , and could not bo found. The
man .from Manilla cannot understand yet
whether ho went up the elevator or up in u
balloon , or was caught up Into heaven as n
reward for leaving so much money in Ids
hands. -
AVhcn the banks open this morning he will
got his check cashed , or if ho cuu't do that ho
will work around town until he gets enough
money to pay his expenses to Manilla , or if hu
don't succeed in that ho will walk home.

Judge McGco is an early riser. Breakfast
ing at 0 o'clock , ho is able to reach the city
building by T o'clock , when ho opens court for
i short session. This is for the uecommodu-
-ion not merely of culprits , who arolun hurry
to establish their innocence , but for the con
venience of officers who , having been on duty
ill night , want to cruwl into their cots. A.
lumber of drunks were thus disposed of yes
terday morning. Under Judge McGee the
est of an ordinary drunk in Council Bluffs
las been raised from the old time $7.00 to

D. Ferguson , who was arrested for Indecent
cent exposure of person , wus fined $2'J. ' < ! 0.
At the. regular 10 o'clock session of court
ho more complicated cases were heard. The
aost interesting of these wus that of the "rag-
shop riot , " in which Officer Doyle figured as
ho hero of law und order. There
vero four whom hu arrested for dis-
urbing the peace. Ho pictured tlio
scene as ono of great fury and turbulence. It
H'eurred on Lower Broadwav in a rag shop
cept by M. Xultsmun. AVhen Officer Doyle
'ntorcd the place Xultsmun hud his brother
lown und wus stumping the life out of him.
/ultsman's wife was holding tlio babv ami
crying. A young man named C.illinski wus
seemingly a looker on. Doyle rounded them
ill up , and calling assistance drove them to
ho bastile. The trial revealed the fact that
he woman had been guilty only of sobbing
oudly when the battle was at its height. The
udgo very promptly discharged her. The
'oung man who bud been guilty onlv of look-
tig on was ulso set free. The two Xultsmun
irothers were closely questioned. The cause
if the trouble was learned to bo the receipt
of a purtnorship'letter from the father In Pal
estine. Each wanted the first reading of the
lurentnl epistle , and within five minutes
ifter the postman had left it ut the store the
wo brothel's were quurclling over it. They
lenlcil fighting , but udmitted talking "kinder
oud like. " The Judge lined them each $100
ind costs , the total bill being . $115 , enough to
lay postage on seiiurato letters hereafter.
I'ho old folks will doubtless bo uAvlscd to
lercufter avoid trying to muko one letter do
or both brothers.

A STUDY IX BLACK ,
Mnuriuo Thoinpf-on In Now York Indo-
eentlont : AA'lmo on n horxebinMc
journey thron li n Hcoltuled nnd
Homewlmt watery nook of .Koulh-
crn Louisiana , 1 lent my wily unir
wandered for tlio whole of u bright nml
brcosty afternoon through n region at
once the wildcat ami most funereal in IIM-
jicet thnt ever met my oyon.
No houses , no plantations , no pignH of
huniiin life , FIIVC wlmt an occasional herd
of thin , wiry , domestic cattle might .sug
gest , as breaking forth from homo fringe
of reeds or scampering across n verdur
ous opening in the gloomy woods , the
half wild little animals lied from me with
deer-like agility , and what made the sol
itude most notable , tlio booming of alli
gators came from certain bayous and
ponds near which 1 passed.
The sun was low in the west , almost
down to the horizon in fact , when , after
breaking through n dense tangle of bay
bushes and making my way for some
distance under mossy , low-hanging live
oak boughs , I came upon u considerable
bluff , overlooking a beautiful , lake-liko
expansion of ono of the bayous. Hero
my tired horse slopped of his own ac
cord , and , lifting his head , neighed
shrilly.
No scene could be more lovely than
the one before me. The water was as
blue as the wing of n jay and as still as
the sky over one-half of it , wlfilo over
the other half the breeze was leaping
gleefully , bearing white wavelets before
it. The sunlight , reddened l > y a slight
fog that was beginning to rise beyond
thu lake , fell level across a vast grassy
marsh like a sheet of ( lame and struck
the water with long blades of criiriTon
and gold. Southward- lay a dark ,
solemn cypress swamp ; northward the
lagoon swung round the live oak wood
and was lost. 1 was not very near the
gulf coast , but the unmistakable salt
fragrance was in the air.
It was .May and the magnolias were
beginning to blp.om ; my horse's feet
were bathed in fountains of blue and
wild violets. Everywhere the colors of
the rainbow fla6he < tand on every breath
I drew in a bewildering sense of per
fumes.
I thought the spot a good one on which
to pass tlio night , and was preparing to
dismount when u dog began to bay just
beyond a thicket of cedars. It was a
deep-voiced hound barking as if for
sheer idleness. The sound was as wel
come as it was musical , for it told mo
that a cabin must be near.
Settling myself at ease in my Middle I
listened , A noise of row-locks or of a
padillo touching a - skiff's' fcido now
reached my ear ; und 1 wondered why I
had not before noticed the pirogue a'nd
the person that propelled it. Scarcely
! 300 yards away , and skimming swiftly
over the water , the graceful little vessel
came shoreward. Its occupant , a slender
girl apparently , sut near the stern and
wielded the paddle with vigor and ease.
Evidently the dog was baying her wel
come as she returned from some , voyage
'
across the now rapidly darkening ba'yon.
The sun had fallen below the horiV.on ,
the fog was turn-ing from rose purple lo
silver gray , and I noticen that the nearly
full moon was wan against the eastern
sky. Above the dark jungle of the
swamp some wide-winged birds were
slowly sailing southward.
"Iloo-la ! hoo-la ! hoo-co ! " quavered a
loud sweet voice from the piroque.
"Iloo-la la boo , la-hoo-hoo-eo ! " an
swered a , baritone from the shore just
beyond the cedar thicket.
The girl waved her paddle in the air
and replied with a yodel that sent its
silvery ripples to every dreamy nook of
the bayon.
I know now how to suggest the feeling
that came over me ; it was as if 1 had n
glimpse of old Arcadia , as if a waft of
perfect peace and quiet joy had reached
: no from bonio hind of eternal applo-
jlooms.
Overhead Fomo wild fowl were blow
ing their clangorous pipesand ; although
[ did not look up I know that their
wings were shining against the sap
phire hky. In my mind Hocks of poems ,
ike strange singing birds , rustled their
silken phrases and Hooded mo with un-
ulterablfe melody.
Very BOOH the pirogue touched shore
it seine distance from me , and I saw the
tall girl spring out and loop the little
iMiintur around a stake ; then , springing
i ] ) the bin IT , she was lost lo my view. I
could not clearly make out her features ,
jut I felt that she was not ill-looking ;
ler form was litheness itself and the
very embodiment of wild grace.
Quite sure of finding u house on the
other hide of the cedar thicket , I turned
ny horse's head that way and rode
through. To my Mirpriso I came upon
irango orchard of perhaps live hundred
arge trees beyond which the low , broad
roof a vino-covered cottage showed dim
ind gray under the wide boughs of an
enormous live-oak. The pioluro struck
no as ono of remarkable expression a
sort of vignet from some old romance.
Hiding around the angle of the or-
hard I came in font \ of the house and
mlted. A clump of pour trees grow at
one side and it grvat bower of hcupper-
long vines llankutl a little rose gank-n.
[ n front of a wide veranda a magnificent
loander spread its glossy greenery. A
paelous hall run entirely through the
ow , apparently almost rotten building ,
jiving mo a glimpse of luxuriant tufts of
lag-liko plants bearing great red and
gold ( lowers growing in a sort of rude
back court. The place had a very an
cient look , asif / the IIOUHO had
been there , so long that it
was sinking Into'.tho ground while the
grass and viiics.aiil | moss were envelop
ing it. The boards of the roof were
warped , spongy and covered with lichens ,
while the walls , nmdo of nine logs , were
awry from the decay of tlio foundation ,
and the rude posts of the veranda were
weather-beaten and far from popomllcu-
lur.
lur.Tho girl and a man who had mot her
at the landing turned at the threshold
to look back at mo when tlu-y heard my
horse's feet. I saw that they wore
father and daughter ; their attitude and
appearance told this.
Immediately the man came toward mo
and spoke to mo in French , which was
midway between that of Now Orleans
and the patois of the negroes. Ho was
very dam , almost black , with wavy dead
black hair and Inward , but his features
showed little , If any , African | R-culiar-
ily. Looking overhi * la-ad and his
daughter I saw that she was a shade-
darker than he , and thu negro dubh ap
peared to have como Into her face with
some omphaslH , but not disagreeably.
In a moment I was n guest. My horse
was cared , for by a lad and 1 was wel-
coyiod Into the squat but spacious house ,
where the llrsl thing that attracted HIV
eyes was a rack of antlers upon whicli
lay three long , heavy Hint-lock gunsone
of which was magnificently mounted with
silver. Skins hung about the walls of
tin1 hall or were spread upon the lloor ,
two of them occupied by lank , long-
eared , snoo/ing hounds.
An air of rude cleanliness that was
almost luxury pervaded the place and
the voices coming from the adjoining
rooms were haunt ingly sweet nnd rich.
1 noticed that the doors , one on either
side of the hall or passage-way , were
very wide and stood open , giving into
large , low rooms , Into ono of which I
was conducted by my dusky host.
"Sit down , * ' ho said , and left mo , re
turning a few minutes later with a bottle
tle of wine nnd a cup of coffee.
"While ho was out I glanced over the
room. In ono corner a magnificent
mahogany four-post bedstead , exquis
itely carved and curtained with red
brocade , curious and old , in another a
low sofa of the same rich stulT , much
worn but still beautiful , and over the
rude mantel a grimy , smoko-dimined
( minting of the Virgin , were strangely
in contrast with the rough walls and un
even board lloor , to say nothing of the
withe-bottomed chairs and the little
homemade cvprcss table , on whicli
burned an antiquated iron lamp. At the
ono square window some tattered but
care-fully darned heavy silk curtains
rustled In the air that Mowed through.
"How long have you lived hero ? " I in
quired , involuntarily , as I took the chair
the man offered.
"I bayn yah w'en I's bo'n , sail , " he
answered , politely striving to mate his
English with mine.
"You were born here ? "
"An' my fahtor gran'fahter , bo'n
yah , yas , sab , all bo'n yah. "
Ilis story was iv simple ono when pres
ently ho told it. An ancestor he was
not sure of the generation back had
come from San Domingo , Hoeing from
the awful insurrections , and had settled
here on this very spot with his slaves.
Doubtless ho had history sadly mixed ,
but there was internal evidence that the
larger facts of the tradition were well
preserved and authentic.
Some ono of the forefathers , probably
not the original Colon from San Do
mingo , had been a great scholar , so my
host said , and had collected many books
and a few pictures during his annual
visits to Paris and Avignon , the real
ancestral place of the family.
"lie was vareo supeyoo man , znt an-
caystor. Yah , sab , vareo supoyoo. "
lie led me across the hall into another
room ; 'and sure enough , there were
shelves of books , none of them es
pecially valuable unless an old edition
of Voltaire or of Rousseau or of Fen-
don could bo so called and
there hung some prints , once
beautiful , but now so smoked with
pine smoke that they were worthless.
On a peg in the wall above the fireplace ,
but below the high mantel , hung two
long Hint-lock pistols , the barrels of
brass with bell muzx.les , and each hav
ing the Hash pan on top of the breech ,
whore the vent was stopped with a
small quill from a woodpecker's wing.
AVhen dinner was announced I was
shown into a rear shed room , only one-
half of which was floored. This was
both kitchen and dining room , the
Moored part serving as the latter , the
earthen part as the former ; while
through a low window I could ( from my
seat at tlio immaculately tidy board' )
look right into a very dirty stable.
My host set at the table with me : but
no other member of the houshold joined
us. AA'e were served by a large , stout ,
jet-black negro woman , who scarcely
spoke during the meal , which was
homely , well-cooked , savory , delicious.
AVe ate by the light of a curious iron
lamp , whoso oil had the singular fra
grance of candle-berries. During the
meal two sweet and powerful voices sang
a bong , the words of which I could not
catch , some ono playing the air on a
dulcimer that I had seen in the library
( as I may call it ) and another joining in
with a flute.
"Dem's ma nctrrcs sintrin' zat sontr.
Yah , sab , ma ncgres , " said my host. I
give his pronunciation of English but
imperfectly , as the spelling loses the in
definable sweetness of the intonation.
"He call heshilrain ho negrcs , " lisped
tlio fat negress , with a low chuckle ,
winking at me.
"Mo shilrain cvair one at ? .o school in
Paris ; yah , sab , in Paris , /a been fo'
years wire , " quickly spoke up the man.
"Dem's me negrcs in v.aro singiif. "
The negress chuckled again , but said
no more.
"Me ouife , sah , she' in Paris too , " the
man added ; "she como back mix year
mebboso. "
"Hejknow vareco true oo's 'is puife1
murmured the woman with a knowing
smile and a shrug of her heavy shoul
ders.
"AVan mo ouifo como 'omo f'om Paris , !
bil' a now 'ouse : yah sah , vareo largo
nmnseeon , ' ' continued my host , as wo
arose from the table ; "a cateau mcbbeo
to. " '
The singing and playing stopped short
as our fool-falls on the passage-way an
nounced our approach to the room in
which the musicians had gathered. 1
hoard a scampering of the negroes as
they ran out through a side door with
much giggling and biipprcbsod chatter
ing.
ing.My host sat with mo until late , telling
mo much about his wife and children in
Paris and about the mansion ho intend
ed to build for them when they re
turned.
"Mo wife is vareo fair , vareo blonde ;
yah. sah , she vareo pale , " ho insisted ;
"an.em shilrain , too , m vareo fair
vah , sah , ouito as snow ! "
My bed that night was t-oft and sweet ,
faintly fragrant , as if perfumed with
some rare herb or dried flower.
Next morning when 1 looked out of
my window I wiw Mvo young persons of
ni'll'erent and regularly graduated ages
got into a small smack and hail olT down
the bayou. They had Hsh-nots and the
other "paraphernalia of well-equipped
fishing-folk. One of them I rucognlxod
as the girl I hod been in the pirogue the
evening before.
At breakfast my host was not no gay as
ho had been at dinner , and his face wore
a look , as 1 thought , of vexation. The
fat negress was very attentive to us , but
not much was Mild.
AVhcn 1 was ready to rehunio my jour
ney the man went to fetch my hon-o
wlillo I arranged some things in my
saddle-pack. As I came out of my room
I was confronted by the negress.
"That man in my husband , " she paid
in patois , "lie's ashamed of me and his
children because you are here. Ho
wlhhcs you to consider him a white man ,
but he's * a negro , just as much as I and
tlio children are negroes. lies a fool. "
She spoke very gently , without the
least hhow of feeling , smiling meantime
and rubbing her dead-black , closely
kinked hair with her left hand.
Her husband's foot bounded on the
veranda and she hurried away.
The man had brought out his own
pony , and ho rode with me to put mo in
thu right road come four miles distant.
All along ho tallied of his absent wife
and children , and sighed us ho remarked
that it would be a long whileto wait for
them to return from Paris.
I olleri-cl him money wlu-n wt- were

T could not Insist , and so. bidding him
good-by with many Chunks , turned my
horse to go.
"Dem ncgres , " ho ventured to mur
mur ; "yah , Mill , dem negrcs bo varce

vev eel to 'em vareo easy yah. sah. ' '
I looked de-op Into his mild dark eves
as I handed him the coins fortJioiiogro" ,
and wondered how the man could bear
my scrutiny. There was not a flicker In
his counteimnco.

Mr. Oscar S. Straus , who succeeded
the Into S. S. ( 'ox as minister to Turkey
and who returned from the post last
August , is at the Hotel Uiehoiiou , says
the Chicago Tribune. In a conversation
yesterday afternoon ho said :
"There Is probably no country in the
world of which so little is known as Tur
key. Almost all the news sent out from
Constantinople is garbled to suit the de
sires of thu foreign representatives
there. America has more than live hun
dred schools In Turkey , attended bv
2o , ( > 00 Armenian and cjroek students.
Then there is the Hubert college at Con
stantinople , another at llarpoot , and a
medical and surgical college at Hoyroot ,
all American. Tho-o are attended bv
Christians , but the svstom of
public M-hools supported bv the TurkHi
government for the Mohammedans
has been greatly stimulated by our
schools , and it now compares favorably
with the public school systems of tIn
most enlightened Christian countries.
You Hud among the Turkish students no
elements of discord , no socialistic ten
dencies a.s in Russia. There does not
exist on the face of the globe a more
purely democratic government than
that of Turkey. Tlio general impression
is that the sultan does 'little but devote
his time and thoughts to pleasure. Asa
fact I don't believe there is a more hard
working sovereign in Kuropethan Abdul
Hamid. Both he and the Turkish people
ple generally have a surprisingly clear
knowledge of America and emu-cut
American a flairs. At the time of the
Johnstown disaster the sultan placed
2W in my hands for transmission to the
sufferers. lie was the only sovereign to
do such an act. Ho is constantly taking
money from his private pm-so to relieve
distress indifferent parts of histerritorv ,
and by his kindness lie has won the love
of all his .subjects.
"In their judicial system the Turks
have made a great , advance by adopting
that of France and by allowing appeals
from lower to higher courts. There is
no despotic administrative system as in
Russia. Hven greater reforms would be
made and a higher civilization reached
if it wore not for tlio constant interfer
ence in Turkish a flairs by the European
powers. It is generally believed that
Turkey opposes all great modern im
provements. Hut railways are being
encouraged there . and you can go bv
through train from Paris to Constanti
nople in sixty-two hours. The Deutsche
bank of Berlin is behind a railway from
Constantinople to the Persian gulf , a
distance of 1,000 miles , the road being
already completed as far as Angora.
AVhen completed it will cross all the
Turkish province ! ! in Asia. "

A few days ago , while strolling
through the Pincio , a public garden ii
Rome , the keeper of a cafe found a row
of pearls lying upon the ground , says the
Chicago News. They were strung upoi
11 broken string. "Aha ! " thought ho , "I
shall please my wife with the.se. " So
home ho trudged with thorn , and to bin
spoiibo ho quoth : " 1 should like to give
von something handsomer , but these will
nave to do. " "And what did you pay foi
them' : " ' she asked. "Five franes'nai 1
lie. "You paid enough , surely , " saiil
she , "for they are wretched imitations. "
Then the poor fellow confessed that ho
had found , not bought them. "Faugh : " '
cried the wife , "I'll wrur nothing which
has been cast oil' , ' ' and she threw them
behind her trunk.
Hy the merest chance ( ho husband
. read in one of the public prints the next
morning that Princess Olympia Doria
d'Avella had lost a row of pearls belong
ing to a famous antique necklace. For
the return of the treasure a reward of
1,000 francs ( * iiMI ( ) would bo paid. Then
the restaurateur ( his name was Poppo )
extricated the string of pearls from the
rubbish behind his wife's trunk and
took thu bundle to the Palax/o Colonna ,
where-thu prlncohs lived. Tlio princi-MS
identified the pearls as her lost treas
ures , and nho promptly and joyfully paid
Signer Poppo 1.000 Iranes , who took a
fiendish delight in taunting his wife with
the circumstance that she had spurned
a necklace which any queen might envy.
Tlio complete necklace , composed of
four rows of pearls , each row fastened
with a separate diamond clasp , was the
finest pearl necklace in Italy. Aside
