The Snlcllec Dead.
Two hundred and seventy-live feet above
the business part of the city , In the noithwest
corner of Fairview cemetery , is located the
new soldiers' lot. U Is on the highest point
of ground in the vicinity , mid aside from Its
location its natural beauty is sulllcient to
make it very attractive. Dining HIM past few
weeks , however , it has undergone some
changes that have made it still more so.
These changes are by no means complete , but
enough has been done to give a very go < xl
idea of what the place will resemble when
the proposed plans arc carried out. A icpre-
sentatlvoof Tin1 Bir : yesterday accepted the
kind Invitation ot Mr. ! ' . A. Siickett , one of
tlio members of the cnmmlttee In charge of
the work , and visited the grounds. It should
bo understood that the ( ! . A. K. ha- > relin
quished Its claim on Us old lot , situated
nearly In the center of ihe cemcton , mid the
property has been deeded back to 'tho ceme
tery association. The new lot was on the
\erj brow of a narrow ridge , but a vast deal
of grading was done , the cut on one side be
ing fourteen feet deep , ami a lill of thirty
feet was made at the otherside. The grading
alone cast fYXI. The lot proper Is INIx.'iKJ
feet , but considerable space outside of this
was graded up in order to make standing
room for carriages. The approach is from
the south , through the cemeterv promir , and
the main drive through the lot { s uvulslmpc.il ,
and is known us Slmsart avenue.
I ho uvcintoi running east and west are
designated as Campbell , Cousins , Steadimin
and llopor avenues. Noilh mid south run

twice that size.
Thirty-eight evergreen trees mid twenty-
eight catalp.is have becu set out nlonir Iho
drives and alwut forty more will bo set out
as soon as the masonry work In the center Is
completed. The grounds have been seeded
to blue grass , ami It N desired to have them
In shape for holding Memorial day exercises.
In oiiler to accomplish this more money must
be raised. It will cost jl.'JOO to complete the
work , and less than iinc-thlrd of this amount
Is now on hand. The city has appropriated
fVX ) for the work and the county $100 , and
the request that the county supervisors do
nate another $1,000 Was not complied with.
As it Is desired to have everything com
pleted by Memorial day the old soldiers are
naturally getting anxious about the matter ,
and call ujioii the citizens generally to help
them out. Inasmuch as they need hut . * M)0 ) ,
nnd the purpose for which It Is to bo used Is
so commendable , they think they ought to
experience no dlftlciilty In raising the sum.
They certainly will have a beautiful burial
spot when It Is all In readiness and the view-
is so extensive and pleasing that It cannot bo
equalled from any other point about the city.
From this point is to bo seen the whole ex
panse that is only to be seen from Fairmount
park and Prospect point , and besides this Is
shown the expanse of country east of Big
lake and on the vicinity of upper Bcnton
street on the other side of the Bluff. It Is a
grand outlook and the place will bo ns much
frequented as any of the other points of Inter
est about the city. It will undoubtedly be
visited today by hundreds of people.
The four old thirty-two pounders now lying
near the old lot In the cemetery will soon bo
mounted and pointed out through ominous-
looking portholes In the battlement. These
guns are old relics and bear the stamp of the
yearl.yi'.i. They weigh about 7,100 pounds
each and will be much mute impressive lookIng -
Ing In their proposed location than where
they now lie.
The remains of the old soldiers now buried
In the old lot , of whom thcro are twenty-
eight , will be taken up and reinterred In the
new lot.

An Illuminated Fountain.
Before the new fountain is'set In Bnyliss
park , it is respectfully suggested to the park
commissioners that arrangements be made
for lighting the fountain from within. The
fountain will be one of the handsomest made ,
and if brilliantly illuminated will be even
more beautiful at night thnn during Iho day
time. It has been suggested that it could
bo much moro attractively lighted with in
candescent than with arc lights. It is pro
posed to place a number of incandescent col
orcd lights so as to bo under the water. Tlio
lights would bo of ditYoreiit colors , and tlio
water falling outside would produce an effect
that would be as unique as it would beautiful.
About twenty of Iho thirty-two or fifty can
dle power lights could be so placed as to make
the illuminated fountain a grand sight. All
the colors of the rainbow flashing through
tlio water would bo the result. The electric
light company would undoubtedly bo glad to
.show what it could do in the way of fancy
Illumination , and favorable rates could bo
secured. It would givatly enhance the beauty
of the park , and it is hoped the commissioners
will investigate the practicability of the plan.

The Art IMiililt.
The exhibition of the Council Bluffs Art
association the past week has been the attrac
tion at Chapman's art parlors , and crowds of
people from this city and Omaha have
thronged the beautiful rooms and found
profH.iblo and ploasureablo entertalnnfont.
Among the visitors wore many patrons of art
and competent art ciitics , whoso opinions are
valuable , and the members of the association
Icel Justly proud of Iho compliments contained
In the oft-repeated assertion that It was a
most creditable display. They treasure still
more the frank expression of opinion of such
patrons of art as Mr. G. W. I.lningcr of
Omaha , who declared the exhibit was far
ahead of the recent exhibits of the Omaha as
sociation , which must not bo construed into
anything but a compliment for the Omaha ar
tists , lor , the cata'oguo ' shows that they were
all represented and well lopresentod with
their best work.
The high character of the display arises
fiom the fact that the greater portion of the
pictures were from professionals , and repre
sented their best work. This made it a se
vere test for the amateurs , whoso work was
lilaced beside that of the best artists In the
ivest. That the contest was so favorable as
lo elicit general remark makes n line showing
Tor our local men mid women who paint.
Tliero were Hit pieces catalogued , but
thcro were many others hung up after the
catalogue was printed , and among them was
foand some of the best work of local ar
tists.
Among the pieces from outside artists that
attracted u great deal of attention was a
splendid canvas In oil representing Fair-
mount park looking south from thonotth
hill. It was from H. H. Bairg of Lincoln. It
shows tlio lake and fountain , the dreamy
hills , Lake Manawa and bright glimpses of
the river shining through the tires on a lovely
Juno morning , with great fidelity to nature ,
ami the great city spread out below Just as
It appeai-s to the delighted oeholder who
climbs up to the benches on Prospect Point
and looks down on the beautiful scene below.

Si.CentH ( o Omaha.
Many of those who travel on the motor are
still ignorant of the fact that there is a ti-cent
faro between Council Bluffs ami Omaha. It
was estublishe t some time ago , but it lias not
been very extensively advertised. The ar
rangement is peculiar. The company sells to
those who cesiro to walk over the bridge
fifty tickets for 50 cents. This makes the
cost of dossing the bridge on foot only 1 cent.
The regular faro from any part of the city to
the bridge is only 5 cent ? . Thus n mini who
wants to avail himself of a ( i-cent rale to
Om iha paj s 5 cents fo ride to the bridUe. and
netting out walks over for n penny , making
the cost but ( i cents.
The company charges him 5 cents more in
stead of a penny if lie keeps his seat in the
car. Tlio car * goes .across just the .same ,
whether he keeps jiis scut or vacates it. The
company has to piovide'the facilities just
tlio same whether' hp walks or rides across ,
and there is practically no apparent increase
in their expenses if ho rides or if ho walks. If
aiivtldng there Is more wear and tear on the
bridge if he walks across , especially if ho has
big feet and coai.sc shoes. Jt is the horny-
handed , rough-jiiclcetod , linuer-iiail brigade
which the company Ims condescendingly
sought to favor. The man who is striving to
live by an holiest day's work and tlm girl
whoso daily toil docs not bring sufficient re
ward to warrant her spending 20 cent.s a day
to get to and from her work are the
ones whom it is supposed aie thus
favored by being allowed u 11 cent rate. They
cannot see wliere it saves the company any
thing by compelling them to walk acrois the
bridge , and they reason quite naturally that
if the motor capitalists can afford a li cent
rale by such an arrangement , they could eas
ily for the same price let them retain their
scats clear across the bridge.

TIIK DEACON'S ' WOOIM ,
TJppIncoU'n Magazine : The sun had
disappeared behind IWo hills of Now
Hethany , and the lingering light on the
mountain tops was changing from ro o
to purple when Deacon Pinch .stopped
his melancholy old mare In front of the
vlllago poslolllco. It was Saturday
night , the only time when Now nuthnny
routed Itself from its lethargy and
showed any nlgns of life and energy.
The rest of- the week It drowned and
languished after the fashion of small
country towns remote from railway and
manufacturing centers.
"Whoa , Mary Jane , " said the deacon ,
with unnecessary emphasis , throwing
the reins on the mare's broad bad ; , and
snrlnglng to the ground.
Hut the despondent Mary Jane had al
ready ceased her shambling from sht'or
force of habit. A ton years' sorvluo
with the deacon had made her perfectly
familiar with Iho auuustomed round of
stopping places. Wednesday night It
was prayer meeting ; Sunday , the church
service , and Saturday night Invariably
the postotlleo , and , as a Into variation ,
an after patno at the house of Mrs.
Hot oy 11 111 , the milliner , who , for a
quarter of a century , had supplied Iho
women of New Helhaiiv with headgear
fearfully and wonderfully made.
The moment the deacon stepped inside
thoollli'c ho know , from the unusual
bttxof conver.iation , that something ex
traordinary had happened.
"Heard the news eh , deacon ? " asked
one of the villagers.
The deacon looked up inquiringly.
"Miss ICey.iah's had an ama/lif streak
of luck. "
"It's been nothin' but an nimr/.lif
streak of luck over binco she was born , "
returned the deacon , "if ownln' the
best farm in town and bavin' money at
interest isn't luck , I'd like to know what
it Is. "
"Yes ; but this is homething out of
common. You used to know her broth
er who died years ago and left his only
child for Miss Iveniah to bring up ? Well ,
when the old man Mead died Miss i "o-
/.iah took the farm as her share of the
property , and her brother bein' of a rov-
lu' turn of mind , took the few thou&and
of personal property as his'n and invent
ed em in western land- , which turned
out to boworthless , and he lost every
cent ho put in. Folks always blamed
him for bein' so foolish ami hasty , and
they say grief and inortillcation like
hastened his death. Wa'al , it turns out
they have put a railroad square thro'
tho'land , and it's sent real estate way
up , nobody knows where. Misi Koxlah's
boon offered nigh onto $8,000 for the
lands , and they sny she will get ever bo
much more if she only holds on. "
"Von don't mean it ? "
"I dew ; it's as trew as Scripture. "
"She'll hold out , never fear , " said the
dencon , ' 'and I hold it to bo our botin-
den duty , as neighbors , to advito her to
that end. "
Instead of lingering , as usual , for the
village gosbip for Xew IJethany post
olllco on Saturday night answered the
purpose of a weekly paper the deacon
seemed in a great hurry to get home.
It was the night of the choir rehearsal ,
and in driving by the church ho saw
Mary Mead , Mis's Kexiah's niece , going
tip the step . lie suddenly whipped up
his sleepy old mure and drove home at u
break-neck rate of speed.
"Now'h your time , Solomon Pinclr , " ho
muttered to himself. ' 'It'sinebbo a long
while afore ye'll hev such a good ehaneo
ag'in. She'll bure to be alone for a
couple of hours or so hi , old lady ! no
stoppin' here tonight,1 ho added , gi'ving
tlio lines a buddi-n twist at. Mary'.lano
showed an inclination to stop before
Mrs. Betsey Hill's house ; "we've other
fish to fry now , old girl. "
When he reached home he drove the
mare under Iho horse shed and tied her
there , instead of tmhariiej-sing lavas
usual. Then ho entered the house , and
hastily swallowing the scanty supper
which' the hired woman placed before
him , donned his best clothes and drove
off again at H rapid pace.
"Lahiikos alive ! " exclaimed the
woman , amtr/.ed. "The deacon's got
sinnthin'on his mind , sure ! It'i > the
llrst time I over know him to diaromom-
ber to ask a yiesning. "
Kver since the death of his wife Dea
con I'inch had looked on MUKe.iah as
her probable successor. l''or years he
had g'a/ed with covetous e eon the line
Muad farm , with its substantial build
ings , but ho could never screw bin courage -
ago up to the point of facing the snap
ping black eyes of its owner , Of bile lie
hud been see'n several times knocking al
the door of Mrs. Hotsy Hill's little
brown house , and the worthy milliner
was overjoyed at - the opening Of the
brilliant prospect before nor. Hut the
news of the sudden rise in western lands
caused Mrs. Hill , with her small pos--e.s-
sions , to sink into insignlllcanco by the
side of the rich woman , with her woll- ,
tilled acres , her overflowing barns
and her prospective thousands of del
lars.
lars.Tho
The idea of failure in his matrimonial
venture never for n moment entered the
deacon's head. "Tlio way before yo is
as plain and straight as u nipe-slom ,
Solomon Pinch , " ho murmured , rubbing
the palms of his hands together , as ho
walked toward Miss ICo/iah's side door.
. "Women is mostly alike eager and
willin' to embrace matrimonial oppor
tunities. They'll snap at an oiler like a
hungry trout at a worm. She has got
the money and I hev got the prominence
and inlluence. That'i a p'inl not to be
overlooked and deacons isn't to bo had
everyday. Put her money and my In-
llucnco together and 1 rather guess we'll
stand about top of the heap in New
liothanv.
Miss Ko.iuh was sitting by the table
knitting , as usual. She had just begun
to narrow for the toe of the Mocking
when a stop sounded on the walk. She
throw down the stoe.klng and opened the
door , and , holding the lamp high above
hor'head , her eyes rested on tlio amiu-
Ing spectacle of the deacon in all the
Sunday magnlllccnco of white shirt and
shiny black broadcloth. "Woll , 1
never , " she ejaculated , and then , feeling
that bur reception had been hardly bos-
nitablo , she lowered the lamp nnd said
kindly : "t'omo in , Deacon , como in. "
"Thank yo , thank ye ; 1 don't mind if I
dew. "
"Take n seat , Deacon. "
"Thank you ; don't mind If I dew. "
The deacon surveyed the attractive
room , which , with its cheery lire and
o.mifortablo cushioned chairs , boomed a
veritable paradlso in comparison with
Ills untidy , ill-kept home. Ho placed
Ills hut on the floor beside his chair , ills-
lilnylng his scanty gray locks , ingenious
ly phibtored over the top of his head so
is to cover as iiiuoh of tlio bald surface
as possible. Tliero was a long pause.
' 'Anything going on , Deacon1" asked
Miss Ko/.lah , ivsuming her knitting.
She was greatly pu//led to account for
Lhoso Sundiiv clot bos.
"Nothin'within the range of my ob
servation. There won't bo much a-goln'
> n now till 'lection time ; things'll bo
pretty lively then , "
"Want to buy any hay this year ? "
hlrped Miss Ke/Iah. "Mlno Is extra
; end this season ; my hired man says it's
ho heaviest jield in town. "
"I rather guess I'll huv * enough to
arry mo thro" the winter. If I don't I
shall know whore to como far hay as Is
my. I declare your farm doea boat all !
I fed kind o' I'ltux-d 'iUo when 1 think
the host farm in town Is managed oy a
woman. "
ss Kiv.hih smiled graciously , nnd
the Deacon drew his ohalra little nearer
his hostess. "H must bo a great load
for yo to carry alone. Such a large farm
Is a tretncnduous responsibility for a
lone womun. "
"O , I don't mind II ; it keeps mo proper
busy. "
'
T'ho deacon hitched his chair along u
few Inches further. "Yo'd oughtor huv'
u brother or cousin , or some relative
like , to share Iho bunion with yo. "
"My shoulders are plenty stVong , " returned -
turned Mlsslve/lah.good-naturoly. "I'm
glad to show folks that there aro'wotnon
who are good for something besides
glddv-gaddlng and tattling. "
" \ Is , yis. " answered the deacon , Vwo
can all testify to your valley and worth ,
you're a real honor to your sex. You're
--xon'ro u bright and shlnln' boacon-
light to the trilUn' and valn-mlndod
women of the world ; " and the speaker
waved his hand at the conclusion of this
1111 lo oratorical flourish.
Then hitch , hitch , hitch wont the
ohaiv Miss Ke/.lahward. "Don't you
fool sort o' lonely at spells ? " he asked
insinuatingly.
Miss Kexlah glanced suspiciously at
the rapidly advancing chair. .Sho
dropped her knitting and went lo the
llro and piled up the bhr/.ing stacks of
wood. Then she came back to the table
ami set her chair on the further side of
It , thus putting a barrier between her
and hotvisitor. . "I'm never lonely ,
Deacon. Plenty to do is the best med
icine for loneliness. "
"Hut woman's a tender , dependent
ereattir' ; woman's a vino" bore the
deacon took Up his weekly prayer meet
ing drawl "and needs sulhiil' to cling
to when the troubles , desolutin' waves
and winds o' alllielion and borrow roll
over her. "
"Stuff and nonsense ! " exclaimed Miss
Ko/lah , with a contemptuous snill. "I
shouldn't have expected that a man of
your sense , Deacon , would repeat such
silly trash. 1 have no patlimco with the
people who are always talking as if a
woman couldn't stand alone and needed
propping up like a rag doll that hadn't
any backbone. I'm no vine or such
creeping , helpless thing , I can tell yon.
I can stand alone .is well as anybody if
llm Lord so wills it , allho' I admit , Dea
con , that it's plea-anlei * to have some
one keep you company. "
"That s jest it ; ye'-hev' hit the nail
squar on the head ! It's pleusuntur to
hov' company in oui'bojourn on this mor
tal yearth. "
The deacon siczcd his chair with both
hands , and by a circuitous line of hitch
ing placed it within three seet of Miss
Ivo/iah's table. "Your a fore-handed
woman Miss Ke/.lab ; I'm a , man of prom
inence and influence in this community ;
it seems to mo that it would bo a gooil
thing if we could walk hand-in-hund
through tills vale of tear.- . Providence
seems to p'int its linger that way. " The
deacon was thinking nt that very mo
ment of the money ho would save by a
thrifty manager likeMKs ICe/iah in the
place of his cnellicient , wasteful hired
woman.
Miss Ke/.iah was dumbfounded. She
dropped her knitting and the ball of
yarn rolled ncro.-s the Moor. "Mercy , "
ho finally gasped.
"I'll make ye a first-rato hic-band and
, \e'll make mo a , good wife. Wu'vo buon
members of the same church for thirty
years or more , and we've been members
iif the same spirtnoal family ; we'll now
bo members of the same human family. "
Miss Ko/.lah straightened hor-olf up
in her high-backed chair and dioin
her chin , while her voice rang out shrill
and clear , " [ rather guess it'll take two
lo make that bargain. "
A scond look at the aged admirer , who
was edging up to her with a sheepish
simper , oxasporuted Miss Ke/.iah bo-
yomi control.
"The old fool ! " she said wrathfully.
The color came into the deacon's thin
cheeks , and ho started to his feet , look
ing anxiously toward tlio door , as if med
itating : i hasty retivat. lut ! the jam
\\iis wound around ills boot- , and he was
forced to remain.
Miss Ke/.iuh likewise rose , and folding
her band primly in front of her , re
marked grimly : "When you llrst be
gan jour talking 1 hadn't thu least Idea
wliat you wore driving at. f thought
you were hinting at Uetsy Hill and
wanted to take mo into join coiilidcncci.
I never dreamed that you meant me.
"Wh.v. I Mippo.-ed that wor.v onu in town
know that I would notguo' my free
dom for the best man living , lU-sty
IIill is a pious , likely womun ; sbo'll
niuko a good home for jou , and she
needs a home hor-olf. ' '
The deacon was completolj1 withered ,
and Miss Ke/.iah continued : "If you'll
Moil around n little livelier , deacon , and
pick up the sUtnes on your lot and put
them into good foneo , and mow down
those pesky woods , thr-ro's no earthly
reason whj your farm shouldn't look a
well as mine. If I've slid anything lo
hurt your feelings , deacon , I hope you'll
overlook it. "Why. you are nil tangled
up in that yarn ; I'll untangle it. "
The delay of unwinding the yarn from
the deacon's foot gaxo Miss Ko/.iah
chance- , for furlhor remark : "Ono word
moro , deacon ; have jou hoard about the
western lands ? "
The deacon wished ho was anywhere
out of the range of tho-o merciless black
n jos ,
' "I 1 think I've heorn toll siithin'
about Vin , " ho replied mcokly.
"I thought -o ! I thought -o ! " exclaimed -
claimed MNs K'o/.iah. savagoly. "Woll.
deacon , those lauds rightfullj belong to
mj nloco Mary ; I onlj hold thorn a * her
guardian. "
The deacon began lo look upon his re
jection as a blo-sing In dNgnit-o , for ,
without tbo wo-torn lands MNs Ko/lah'
attractions sooincd tame compared wjlli
those of mild , blni'-cjod , biiMim widow

"I shall not mention H. Now follow

"Thunl. ve , thanko ; I don't mind If 1
