It was a llttlo hit amusing to tno members
of the two Knights of Labor lodges in this
city to road yesterday morning under glaring
head lines In two morning papers and nn
afternoon sheet nn account of an alleged de
falcation of the treasurer of a co-oi > 3rativo
concern tlmt occurred and was settled six
months ngo. That was a big live "scoop"
that the journals have every reason to bo
proud of.
The great , Evans-Henry cattle case , which
1ms been on trial for the past seven years , Is
Hearing an end. UcfereoL. W. Hess , who
has boon taking testimony with slight inter
missions sluco last , spring , has granted an
adjourn inent until January U , when the llnal
testimony will bo heard. Ho will tiioa make
his report , and the court will then render n
decision. The case involves nearly $100,000 ,
and has been stubbornly contested on both
sides.
In the district court yesterday Judge Car
son nnd a Jury wore listening to the case of

The only enlivening feature of the day was
when one attorney charged another with mis
representations. It seems that n lawyer
might gut used to n little tiling like being
called a liur , but this ono hadn't , nnd JumpIng -
Ing up h3 assured the court and thooffcnding
antagonist that If the remark was repeated ,
"I'll smash him in the face. "
"William Smith , n small man of middle rue ,
discovered the use for two small plcces'of
scantling yesterday , nnd instead of going to
the lumber yard and purchasing them ho
foliud what ho wanted attached to ono of
Billposter Micol's bill opards on Upper
Broadway , and appropriated the stuff.
Nicols niudo complaint to the pohco of the
depredations made upon his bill boards , nu I
when ho discovered that Smith hail carried
nway some of the lumber , had him arrested
upon an information charging larceny. Jus-
tlco Schurz found him guilty and assessed u
line of i and costs.
Some of the eager reporters nro trying to
revive a sensational report concerning u largo
defalcation on the part of the treasurer of a
secret sooioty. The simple fact is tint u
move was started alma a year ir < o for , the
organization of a Knights of Labor cooperative
tive storo. The shareholders had boon piy-
Ing in for about six months when it was
learned that the treasurer , A , N. Scrlbnor ,
had been using .somo of the accumulated
funds in his business , Ho was deposed , an
other man put In his place , and ho and his
bondsmen made the amount good. This was
six months ago , and the settlement has been
so satisfactory that there has heoii no iinvo
on the part of these concerned towards prose
cution , or oven publicity to the affair.
The llro department was called out last
night to look after a llro tlmt had broiccn out
In a vacant building on Ninth street , between
Sixteenth nnd Seventeenth avenues. It wns
the old shanty formerly occupied by the
notorious "Mother Pike,1' and used ns
n rendezvous for the gang of hood
lums who torrorl/od the southern
portion of the city a short tlmo
ago by attempting to break up a Sunday
nl ht meeting in the Fifth avenue Methodist
church and other mischief. It was ono of the
worst dens In the oily , and wis only vacated
by a woman a few days ago. The alarm wns
not turned in until the building had been well
nigh destroyed , and by the tlmo the depart-
meat got on the ground there wns not much
of It loft. The neighbors seemed very anxious
_ to have none of it remain , and urged the de
partment not to turn on a stream.
It transpired that there wore two men
, assaulted nnd beaten In Scheffcrll's saloon on
Tuesday night. A. T , MoKnturf , whoso
nntno was given yesterday morning , was ac
companied by his brother-in-law , II. O. Poar-
soii. who wns nioro serlou ly Injured than
McEnturf. Doth of the men are residents of
Mlndcn , and are honest appearing Scotch
men. They earnestly assort that they were
guilty of no conduct that Justlllod the assault
that was inndo upon thorn. The warrants
for the four assailants , Forgraves , Ed and
Jim Maher and P. J. Gallagher ,
were served and all the men
placed under arrest. Bonds were given
for each nnd their hearing was llxod fo , ' last
evening at 5 o'clock , Both of thu prosecut
ing witnesses were present ready to proceed
with the case , but the defense had engaged
na attorney to look after their interests and
demanded n jury trial. It wai too late to em
panel a Jury and thu court was obliged to con
sider the motion of Attorney West for thodc-
fcnso fora continuance. Snmoof the friends
of the prosecuting witnesses , who nro poor
men , have taken an Interest in thu mutter and
will employ mi attorney and prosccuto tlio
cose to the fullest extent.

A glance nt the city's books roronls some
interesting facts , cipcchlly In regard to ox-
pctnllturcs. It nppcnri from tlio amounts ox-
pontlod In the past eight months , tlmt by n
llko ratio of Increase during the rest of the
j-c.ir the axpanditurcs will exceed those of
the preceding your by from $ .10,00 } to $10,000.
The receipts from saloons , Hues , etc. , Imvo In-
crtnsodlii much larger ratio tliiin the expendi
tures , but the total from tills source Is but
small In comparison with the tot.il expendi
tures , the bulk having to bo secured by taxa
tion. While the expenditure ? nro increasing
the fact should bo remembered in connection
therewith that the city Is growing , the
assessed valuation is Increasing nuil . the
needs growing dally. The ( iiicstion to bo
solved Is whether the expenses of the city
nro growing faster than the real needs of the
city.
It is noticeable that \vhllo the totnl expend
itures hnvo Increased since March 1 nbout
" 0 per cent , the expenses or the police depart
ment have increased ( V ) pur cent ; these of the
Ire department ! W per cent , while the city
narsh.il's department htw been cut down
' .1 per cent , although ono nioro deputy is cm-

.Street Cleaning.
Although the temperature was uncomforta

handed and out of door , Olllcet Wynlthndhi !
street cleaners at work sweeping up the dns

Ittlo hillocks ready to bo hauled nwny by thi
street supervisor.
Except stormy days when it was imnosslbli

orval when the ofllcer was do
, alled upon other duty , not a working dny has
Kissed since bistspring.that bo has not hud n
; un of street cleaner. ? nt work without cost
: o the city beyond the expense of fccdm g
, hom. The men worke.l have been these sen-
; encod to terms of bard labor by the police
ludgo. The number of men worked ha * ! > ol-
lomly fallen below ten andofton has exceeded
t. nnd tlio work they have done has reached
In round numbers a llguro of dollars an d
cents that will exceed $15,000. Onirer Wvatt ,
while maintaining n close watcti upon the
men placed under bis care , has also t.ilccn an
Intelligent interest in their work , antt the
result is bettor cleaned streets during tbo
past summer than the city lias over known
boforo.
It is scarcely probable that tlio pleasant
weather that hns prevailed so long will con
tinue much longer , bat when bad amt snowy
wo.uhor comes the trainp3 ani Indigent
drunks will not be permitted to lie around
tbo city Jull in idleness. The pane will bo
marclied out daily and kept at work shovelIng -
Ing off the snow ns fust as It accumulates on
tlio sidewalks , not only in the busino3S but in
the residence portion of tlio city. This
work is of ns much Itnportnnro ns
tbo street sweeping has been , but the pub
lic generally will not took upon It with tbo
same degree of complacency that they have
been wont to regard the street sweeping.
Under the provisions of nn ordinance passed
ninny years ago , but very soldomly enfoiceil ,
they will bo required to pay for the work
done by the tramp biigado on tno walks In
froiit of their promises. This course lias been
dollnltely decided upon , and it is of two
fold interest , for it Insures clean sidewalks
nnd will compel indolent people to assist in
the work or have it done by tno city mid tbo
expense taxed against their property.

At the regular adjourned meeting of the
city council last nlgtit the discussion of the
'win ' City street railway company's charter
ceuplcd the creator part of the evening.
'ho ' mayor and all the members were pros-
nt. Dr. Mercer and Mr. 1'aul , the principal
importers of the demand for n charter , were
resent , and watched the proceedings with
nuch Interest. The amendments nnd changes
uggcsted at the meeting of tno comnutteo of
ho whole on Tuesday afternoon were offered ,
nd the charter considered again section
> y section. Tl.oro wore no amendments
o the first , second , third nnd fourth sections ,
' .nd they wereadopted. . Alderman Kneffor
'hjectcd ' to the sixth section on the ground
hat It did not properly stnto that the com-
ny would bo compelled to pay for paving ,
nit on a closer Investigation , it was shown
hat the section covered the deslreil points.
A protracted discussion took place when
.ho section was reached specifying the faro
o be charged , and what constituted a fi-csnt
'arc. In the charter , as amended , a fi-ccnt
'nro was provided for ono continuous passage
iver the whole lines , but Ur. Mercer ohjcctud
o It , The wording was llnnlly changed
.0 read over the whole of their
wn or leased lines. The section was then
.greed . to , hut some of the aldermen did not
'col ' that the object so greatly desired , a 5
: ent faro from any part of Council Uluits to
.ho business center of Omaha , had been
icourcd with absolute certainty. Mr.
Cnopher then offered nn amendment that n
'aro of not to exceed 5 cents shall bo charged
'or carrying a passenger from any part of
Council li luffs to any part of Omaha over Its
nvn or leased lines In Council DltilTs or
Omaha. Dr. Mercer said ho would agrco to
.Ills , and announced with a good deal of
pint that his company was hero asking for a
only bce.ufso the present motor com
pany has been charging 10 cents for ono faro
lOtwcen the two cities.
Sections 7 and 8 were adopted without do-
ljutc. They relate to the streets over which
ho right to construct lines had been granted ,
ixcmptlng Lower Broadway and other
trects to bo used as boulevards , and declur-
ng that the charter does not grant exclusive
Ights OH any street.
Alderman Lacy asked to have section 8 of
ho Interstate charter incorporated. This
section provides that the road shall ho built
ivithin a specified time mid provides for for-
'eituro of the charter by the failure of the
. omp.iny tot'omply with Its condition. The
rote .sustained thu motion uud the section
, vns Incorporated.
Alderman Kneppcr offered nn amendment
n regard to the assessment of paving on
itreels prior to the building of the lines. The
imcndmont was prepared by City Attorney
Stewart to reined v a defect In the state law ,
, vhich docs not provide directly for the reim
bursement of property owners In such cases.
After some slight changes In the phrascolgy
the amendment was adopted.
The ordinance was then put upon its final
passage and p.is = ed , all the aldermen voting
ive except Alderman ANood , uho had a great
big no recorded on account of objections to
several of thu sections.
After the charter business had been settled
Mr. Loomls nnd Mr. Dunn , representing the
Illustrated West magazine , asked the councl.
to assist m defraying the expenses of an
Illustrated edition of the paper , devoted to
showing the beauties ami advantages of
Council Illuffs. Heforred to the mayor and
finance committee with power to act.
Kcyes Brothel's asked for cxeinntion froir
taxes under provisions of the ordinance ox
cmptlng manufacturers.
At this Juncture Colonel Dailoy arose ami
thanked the council in well chosen language foi
the courtesies shown the Twin City company ,
and then shivered the members with n pro
found surprise , Colonel Uailey has acted as
the attorney for the company during Its negO'
tlations with the council , and nftcr ho had
been in consultation with Dr. Mercer and Mr.
Paul , was instructed to announce the conclu
slon of the company not to accept tin
charter on account of the restriction1
nnd conditions Insisted upon , which wore of
such a nature that the company could not
hope to dispose of its bonds to procure money
to roustnict the lines.
The announcement created something of a
sensation , but the council reconsidered the
action promptly and the matter of a charter
for the i ivnl company was laid over l.idofl-
nitoly.
After transacting some routine business
the council adjourned.

Oco'-go II. Korshon is tlio nnmo given
by the narrator of the tale. Ho says ho
Is a native of Kngland , but left that
country when n , lad for the gold llehls of
Australia , whore sevorol years were
passed. New Zealand , Capo Colony nnd
California were also visited , and in his
fortieth year ho joined a party of minors
who were bent on exploring the seorots
of ico-bouiul Alaska. Korshon Is a
hardy looking man , with a well knit
frame , indicative of nn ability to with
stand physical hardship , while his clear ,
blue oycs are a surety that whatever ho
undertakes ho will carry through.
" \es , " ho sahl , "I think 1 am the first
white man who over gaxed on the frozen
city of the north. In tlio summer of
18b8 I was ono of a party of six who loft
lioro to go north prospecting. Of tlio
other live I know not where they are.
\Vo took the stonnior to Juncau , where
wo left her , buying a small sloop to take
our kits up to Yukon. After several
weeks of awful toll wo reached a fork.
"I was for going up this fork prospect
ing , but the other live were against it :
but as I was determined to go 1 loft the
party , engaged an Indian canoe , with
'wo musks , and started up olt this mi-
cnown fork. Wo had a terrible time.
This stream narrowed la bolweon high
clllTHimd shot with di//.y swiftness down
'ho gulches , making it necessary to tow
ho canoe by moans of a line from the
banks , two doing this while the third
man rested. Progress was necessarily
slow , and lor many days wo tolled before
.lie range of olllTs and mountains were
.Hissed. Oaeo a 100-foot waterfall bar red
is , and it took three days to got around
"After that It was a bit easier. The
Ivor broadened out and the country was
nero level. The banks were well wooded
nnd game was plentiful. Mro kept on
iiko this , always going north , when ,
ifter six weeks , a range of mountains
ivas sighted. I bellovo this to bo the
liend of the rlvor , and pressed on to
[ oaeh It before tbo cold weather sot in.
"Snow was now falling very often , and
It was evident that the summer was
nearly done. At length wo reached the
wild country again , and tlio stream ,
which had been subdividing itself into
lesser ones , soon became too dilllcult to
navigate. This was almost at the foot
of the mountain range spoken of. Hero
I determined to camp for the winter , and
jood quarters were found. Kvorytlilng
was made snug , as the weather up there
is something awful ; but wo were in a
Ooop ravine , overrun by high clifl's ,
which broke the fury of the winds , mid
the best was made of it. Gnmo was
plentiful , and largo quantities of moose
and bear were shot and fro/.on for use
ddring the long winter months.
'Boforo long the cold came , and at
times it was impossible tostirfromeovor.
Especially was this the case when tlio
wind blow. At other times it was com
fortable , although the lack of sun made
It gloomy enough. Toward the end of
winter it began to got lighter and the
gales wore less frequent.
'Ono day I determined to try to facalo
ono of the mountains near us , IIH I got bo
tired and weary with bolng penned up in
such a coallncd place. This idea I put
before the Indians. Ono of them said ho

shortly nt-oso , blowing heavily for three
day * , but at Boon ns the wonthor Inul i
soltlod myself tuul the Indian started oil
on our trfi > .
" \Vo wont right up the line of the
frozen river , which , bclnj ? u solkl rnnsd
of ice , inudo 11 Knntl romlwiiy. Following
this for iibout twenty mile ? , nt u pretty
stcon rise , wo reached tv ntutcuu between
tlio foothUlHiuul high ranee , lloro the
stream ended , ana wo started to climb
one of the bltf hills. Aftorti lot of hard
work we reached n point neur the sum
mit. A wonderful vlow was hud from
hero , but tlio strangest thing was a city
lu one of the vnlleys.
"You may bet I was surprboil to see
It. At Hrst I thought it was some fan
tastic arrangement of the Ice and snow
which assumed the form of a city , but
examination with n glass showed that
such was not the case , It bolng too reg
ular In appearance.
"It was a city , sure enough.
"Detormliiod to see more of It , 1 com
menced to work downward , although
the buck was rather frightened , ho evi
dently not considering 11 "good medi
cine. After hovoral hours of hard work
1 readied the outskirts of tills myste
rious city , and found tlmt thla place was
laid out in hlroots , with block : ) of strange
looking building : * , what appeared to bo
inosquoH , lowers , ports , etc. , and every
evidence of having been built by art.
"The whole was of solid Ice , or boomed
to bo , but blows from a hatchet on ono
of the walls disclosed the fact that bo-
ncatli this barrier of Ice was some sort
of building material. It looked to bo
wood , but of htoao-liko bardnosj and ap
ptirront'.y pelrilleil.
"Tlio silence around the place was
something ghostly. Not the slightest
sound broke the awful .stillness of the
place which , lidded to the weird look of
tlio empty streets , inndo It growsomo
enough. 1 soon got tired of Investigat
ing1 the oity , ns the streets wore blocked
in many places with husio masses of ice ,
rendering passage almost impossible.
Tlio buck , too , became uneasy and wo
started on the return trip , reaching
camp the next day , tired , but satisfied
that wo had boon tlio llrst men togn/.o
on that silent city for centuries.
"After spring had broke i mudo some
strikes in nugget gold at tbo head-
valors of the river , working uith the
Indians throughout the sununcr months ,
leaving camp for the Yukon about the
end of August. Wo reached the river
all right , the trip down being easy , and
in duo time I irot back to .luneau , where
I tool : tbo steamer for the boutli.
"It wits while 1 was at Jtineau I saw
newspaperswlthanaccount of the mirage
scon at Muir glacier. I did not make
any allusions to this , though , as I did
not think any ono would bullovc me , but
I am positive that the mirage of Muir
glacier is the rullcction of the fro/.uo
city found by mo. "
