who was sent to Jail for ten clays for thetbelt
of some money from Hancock's second band

white woman with whom ho bad been living ,
and It has boon shown that It wns an assault
with Intent to commit murder. The woman
1ms been ilotcrred from prosecuting on
account orlior fear that Crlss would kill her.
Her dread of him is so great that she has
left the city , but tbo onicors have decided to

they can secure suniclcnt evidence to send
the coon across the slate , and thus got rid of
him for awhile.

crctl ailnor Mention.
A mnn named Cowan , who has been trad
ing In horse's , had a rather startling Thanksgiving -
giving experience ! near Crescent. Ho hud
noticed two fellows who sccincil to bo follow
ing him about , nnd as ho had considerable
inouoy on his person ho naturally concluded
that they hud learned thu fact nnd were de-
tcrmlnc-d to rob him. About three miles from
Crescent he stopped at n farm house , and In
formed the folki there that ttieso two men
had been following him , anil ho wanted to
stay until tliuy had soue aloni ? up the iuul.
They soon passed the liouso lu a buguy , and
lifter they hud gene ho started on. licforo
ho had proceeded far one * of the follows ,
whosu nutiio proved to bo George
Johnson , stopped him , nnd pointing u
revolver at him declared Unit ho wanted him ,
ns ho was an ofllcor. The startled horseman
demanded to see the wit-rant , to which John
son replied that the otticr fellow , who was a
little ways oft In the buggy , had the warrant.
The mun refused to bo taken into custody
under any such n demand , and when the
other fellow came up with the bug y , ho
could produce no warrant. The other mun ,
whose nnme was afterwards ascertained to bo
Bryan Hlloy , was too drunk to Imvoproduced
n warrant u he had one. After the attempt
to work this blull had fulled the fellows drove
off , nnd the horseman went to Crescent , filed
an Information , and soon oflk\rs wcro after
the two men. They succeeded in arresting
both and brlnplnp tnetn to Crescent. They
wore charge ; ' , with attempted robbery.
Both the men arrested are residents of Mis
souri Vallov , where they hired a team In the
forenoon of that day for the purpose of tak
ing a drive. Johnson s said to have had n
rather hard record. Hilcy is said to bo nn Inoffensive -
offensive citizen , whoso mends say ho was
evidently led into the scrape by being full of
reckless whisky. One theory of the affair is
that the horseman , who had been at Missouri
Valley , had been cunningly followed Into
Crescent township for the deliberate purpose
of robbing him at the nrst good opportunity.
The other Is that the two men were Just
drunk enough to want a llttlo scrap , and
that they came across this niiiii by chance ,
merely giving him a scare as tbo result of u
drunken frolic.
Cmsccnt was badly torn up ever tne affair ,
and the news that two highway robbers had
been captured went like the wind.

" 1 wish you would say that the Iowa fuel
nnd power company has not surrendered iu
charter and does not Intend to surrender it , "
said ono of the Interested parlies to THE Bui
yesterday. "Tue Bin : Is the only paper thai
has not given currency to this falsehood , am
I wish yon would contradict it again. Tin
company Is Incorporated under the jaws ol
the state , and the company that Is being or
ganlzcd hero has filed Us articles of Incot
poration with the county auditor. I'assur
you that it is an entity that can sue and bi
sued , and if there Is not loss freedom used ii
talking about its affairs tticro may bo som
libel suits instituted. "
The general history of the organization ha
never been published , and there has been
good ueal of mystery surrounding it. Th
gentleman , when press-jd for informa
tion concerning the enterprise , gav
Tin : BBIJ n brief history of it an
a rough description of the proecs
used to make fuel g.\s largely out of the tw
elements , water nnd air. A company eon
posed of reliable men has purchased th
right to introduce and use the process ii
Iowa and has about concluded negotiation
for a similar right for the state or Nebraska
It is their Intentlnii to establish plants 1
every city In the two states that Is larg
enough to support an old-fashioned gas works
To do this would require nioro capital thn
the company could command , and the ofllcei
have determined to enlist local capital i :
every city where they establish n plant.
They wore anxious to establish the firs
plant erected In Iowa at Council Bluffs , fc
the reason that it is the only Important guti
way between thu east mid west located In th
state. The plan Is to make this the princlp :
parent plant , nnd the company would mak
. .heaviest Investment here. The f 10,000 t
local capital asked to bo subscribed is not 1
be paid In until the plant has been partial !
erected and the practicability of the procet
demonstrated by actual work. Then tl :
amount Is only to bo paid In small instal
ments , the linal installments not to bo pal
until nearly a year after the completion c
the works.
The process used is ns different from an
other known as tha method of producing a
electric light Is difterontfrom that of makln
n tallow candlo. It is known as the Hall pn
cess , and is the result of profound invcstlgi
tion and the application of recent clicmici
discoveries , It is based upon the deductlo
that the amount of oxygen necessary to coi
sumo a pound of coal equals so many cab
fret , nnd instead of permitting the combui
tion tp take place In an ordinary retort b
the application of Intense heat around It U
coal Is consumed in n retort hcrmctlcall
scaled and into which the requlsll
number of cubic foct of atmosphoi
has been forced under pressure , it
estimated that 28S cubic feet of atmosphoi
is required tooousmmo ono pound of coal , un
If a ton of coal has boon1 placed In the rote
then 2,000 times this amount of air Is force
In mixed with steam. The coal is consume
and the entire product of combustion tluul
goes into the gasholder. It has more tl
character of vapor of alcohol or ether than i
ordinary carhurotted liydroinm and buri
when Ignited In tbo open air with an lutcus
ly hot blue ilumo as free from sinoko as i
cohol.
By this process they claim to bo nblo i
demonstrate that they can produce sever
hundred thousand feet ot fuel gas from tl
combustion of n single ton of boal. This
sutllclcnt to Indicate that they can furnli
gas at 85 cents n thousand to the consum
iuul niako n big profit.
Council Bluffs will eventually have tl
pln.it , but unless the small amount of stoi
offereel is token nt OHCO them will 1
some delay in petting it , and this w
not bo the initial point to bo visit
by thousands to sea the first cheap fuel g
plant in the west. Sioux City men liavo c
force ! tq Bubscribo the amount U9k ° d for
once provided the company will muko th
town the initial point. Tlio proposition
being seriously considered , and unless the i
innlnlngf 1,000 or M.OOO worth of stock U
taken at once they may accept the Corn
llusker's offer , It Is certainly of n great doiil
of Importance to the city , and ns the parties
who take stock will not'bo nskcd to pay In
their money until after a long Interval , nnd
then only upon condition that the process Is
a complcto success , no risk is being ran. If
the stock is raised nt once two Immense standpipes -
pipes will bo erected near the transfer and
will bo pouring n volume of fhnno into the
sky before .Tnnunry 1 that will equal any of
the famous "gasscrs" in Iho natural gas re

were present and they sailed through the
buplncs as smooth as summer sens , with the
exception of ono little hitch.

hnd accepted the special assessments un-
matured on some lots in Gccndulo addition.
A communication wns received from the
state superintendent regarding the attend
ance of teachers at the state teachers meet
ing. The superintendent urged the attend

Chairman Hunter of the finance committee
reported that the committee hnd been unable
to negotiate the bonds Issued for the new

the board and stated that they could not do
much bettor than sell them nt par.
There wore strong symptoms of n row when
Member Hunter announced that ho hnd
placed $10,00(1 ( Insurance on the Twentieth
and Second avenue sciiool buildings. Ho
stated that ho had called nt Mr. Walte's of-
llco to consult him , but did not ilnd him and
went ahead and placed the insurance. Mr.
\Vnlte objected to Hunter's action and stated
that the placing of the Insurance belonged to
the committee of which ho was chairmanand
Hunter had nothing ut all to do
with it. The matter elicited a good deal of
tbo olel style of acrimonious debate , nnd when
Mr. Schocntgen moved to accept the report
Mr. Wells seconded it , the vote showed the
same old deadlock that has caused so much
trouble , and the president declared the mo
tion lost , Mr. Hunter ex plained that he had
called upon Mr. Schoontgen , ono of the mem
bers of Air. Wnlto's committee , nnd the two
placed the insurance. Mr. AVnlto again ob
jected to receiving the policies , and Mr. Wells
moved that ? , " > ,0)0 , ( ) on the Suconel nvenuo and
the $3,00(1 ( on the Twentieth avenue and * i , 000
on the same building bo accepted. There was

accepted nnd It was currleell
The contractors were allowed $ lr , > 00 for

An order was ordered drawn on the contin
gent fund for the amount.
Prof. H. W. Sawyer , the newly elected
superintendent , was present and wns IntrO'
duced by Mr. lUrmini , and although suffer
ing from nil ncnto tora throat , ho made n
Humorous speech that highly pleased the
members. After putting the board iu good
humor with itself , ho very eloquently stated
tnat ho had como here with the clearly de
fined intention of doing his best to make n
reputation for himself and to labor for the
best interests of the school. At the concluS'
ion of his speech ho asked to bo granted ti
leave of absence until next Wednesday , &tnt
ing thot it would bo necessary for him to return
turn to St. Joseph on the 10 o'clock train lusl
evcniin } . ' The request was granted. The
president assured him that ho couW ontei

port of all thfl members of the board. Mr
Sawyer Is n tine looking man of about fortj
years of ago. Ho is of rather heavy build
.full black whiskers and mustache and has :

The bill of Architect Maxnn for plan.i
for the Second aveuuo building , whlcl
wcro accepted and subsequently rejected
was called up. Mr. Hunter gave it as hi :
opinion that the board was indebted to Mnxoi
to the amount of his claim , $300 , for his reJected
Jected plans , less 100 already paid him. Tin

Strange Story of a Condemned Mur
derer's Sclf-Sjaorillco.
The recent tloiith in Canada of Mrs.
Storling' , the mother of Chnrlus M. Ster
ling , who wns executed hero for the
murder of Lizzio Grombnckor , has un
veiled Btrango facts doncornlng nn inci
dent that occurred bliortly before the _
execution , snys a Youngstown , O. , special -
cial to the San Francisco Examiner.
Sterling's mother cumo hero from
Maxwell , Canada , and though ho hnd
loft homo when but a lad , with niatormil
Intuition she recognized him when
brought to his coll. Sterling , without a
( | iiiver of a luusclo , said :
"You are mistaken , madam ; I nm not
your son. "
She implored him to recognize her ,
but ho refused , and she returned homo
half convinced that she was mistaken.
To his counsel .Sterling said :
"Sho is my mother , but I could not
break her heart by telling her that hot-
son would bo hanged. Keep it secret
until she dies. "
Her death during the past week caused
his attorney , Anderson , to break the seal
of Hilcneo today.
"It was the most dramatic scene I over
witnessed , " miiel Mr. Anderson. "I
have teen all the tragedies of the past
quarter of a century but none that com
pared to the scone on that occasion. "
"The mother , every line in hnr face
showing intense suffering , and her heart
nearly broken , wliilo the son , knowing
that tlio truth would kill her , stood like
a statue , his face showing the paler of
death , showing her that she was mis
taken.
"Such intensity of , notion was never
produced on tiny Htngo. It could
not uodono. "

liloaoliliig Dried Fruit.
According to the Experiment Station
Record for October ( United blutcs de
partment of agriculture ) , Director 1111-
gurd of the California station believes
that the public should bo taught to pre
fer "healthy , brown , high-flavored fruit
to the sickly-tinted , chomicnllv-tnlntod
product of the sulphur box. " When
freshly sliced fruit is treated with sul
phurous acid for a short time , the effects
nro slight , yet such ns to protect the
fruit from insects. When thoroughly
sulphured after drying , however , the
fruit is injured in flavor : nnd , worse
still , sulphuric acid is formed in Kulli-
ciont amount to bo Injurious to health.
By analysis sulphureld apricots huvo
boon found to contain ' ,2.'t2 per cent ol
sulphuric ucid , or nb6lit25 grains of vlt-
rol per pound , and priihes .Ii-10 per cent
of sulphuric acid. In , inost , countries of
Europe the sale of sujpliured fruit is for
bidden.

WHY THE YOUNG MAN
Also Why the YOUIIK Woman nnil Her
Escort Ijoft tlio Train.
A gontlemnn riding on an elevated
train in com puny with a handsome and
fashionable youncf Indy became much an
noyed nt tlio persistently offensive man
ner with which an ornamental younjr
man opposite stared nt his companion ,
says tlio Now York Sun. The follow
lixod her with his eyes nnd in his face
was an expression of vulpar enjoyment
which amounted almost to grinning
amusement. In vain did the gontlomun
scowl across the car at the insulting
person. Tlio latter did not notice the
former's rage , having1 no interest in uny-
ono but the girl. Finally matters were
brought to a crisis by the young man ,
who , when the young woman
chanced to turn her gaze in
liis direction. Binilod deliberately at
her and made a sign to hor. This was
too much for tlio gontlomnn to bear , so
ho rose in his wrath , nnd , making one
stop across tlio car , leaned ever and
muttered into tlio young man's ear :
"If you don't stop 1 will throw you
from the train at tlio next station. "
Tlio young man looked back into the
infuriated eyes of the gentleman with
most astounding placidity , and re
marked quietly :
"Suppose you nsk the young ludy'to
look out for her laundry. "
Tlio gentleman turned and looked at
the girl. On her lap was a bundle , the
paper of which had burst. Down at hoi-
foot reposed a crumpled stocking , mid
from the orifice caused by the broken
pnpor projected tlio edge of
an unmistakable garment. Greatly
taken aback , the gentleman re
turned to his Bent nnd deftly
picked the stocking from the floor , at
the same time grjxsplng the bundle on
the girl's lap , presumably with the in
tention of hiding with as little awk
wardness os possible the telltale gar
ment that was obtruding itself. Ho
would bettor have loft it alone , however ,
for as ho clutched at the paper it burst
entirely , and a pretty girl's laundry was
outspread to the view of a car full of
amused spectators. Tlio gontlomun , now
thoroughly uncomfortable , hastily jam
med the clothing under bin overcoat and
made the girl leave the train with him
at tlio nci.xt station.

The Nuts of tlio Un'tcd States.
The department of agriculture ) is in
receipt of reports from different parts of
every state and territory concerning the
production of wild and cultivated nuts ,
and will embody tlio information in a
bulletin soon to bo issued by the pomolo-
gical division. The extent unit possi
bilities of nut culture are by no means
generally understood. In central Cali
fornia almond orchards of from two thou
sand to live thousand trees are not un
usual , and in tlio southern portion of the
same state the Madcrin nut , or English
walnut , as it is moro commdiiiy called ,
is cultivated in orchards of from ono
hundred to fifteen hundred trees. From
most of the other states also , the Ma-
derin is reported to bo grown for nut
production. On Staten island the same
nut is marketed green and for catsup.
The pecan is gro\vn in or
chards and groves in the
south-central and southwestern states ;
while the pinon or pine nut , though
quite unknown to people cast of the Miss
issippi' , is marketed in immense quanti-
tio.-i in the cities of the Pacific slope.
Uy selection nnd culture fruits are found
to improve almost as readily as fruits.
Thin shells and increased size are the
most common results of improvement.
Tlio pomologist of tlio department will
bo glad to add to the list of persons to
receive the bulletin the mimes of such
as furnish concise reports on matters
relative to nut culture. Others who are
interested may obtain the bulletin when
published by applying to the secretary
of agriculture , Washington , D. C.or to
the pomologist direct.
