" yiio reported attempt to burglarize the
Hock Island ticket onico grew out of a simple
mistake. Ono of the clerks m the ofllce had
a friend in thoioofterotllco hours , nnd when
they had llulslied their smoke and their chat
they started for borne , going out of the rear
door and locking It. Seine one who saw the
two fumbling with the door , and disappear
ing ooforo ho could reach them , hurried oft
to spread the warning tint burglars wore
prowling nbout nnd had been frightened
away by his approach.
The city council this evening will decldo
the Important question of whether it is bettor
to widen tbo old levee or build a new one.
The public opinion among the people most In
terested w hi'revcr it has been given expres
sion , Is stronely In favor of applying the ex-
pcr.se necessary to rebuild the old bank upon
the now embankment , and it isery probable
the city council will barken to the general
desire , and advertise for bids for the now
work nftor deciding to abandon the old. " Iho
general feeling Is tint any money spent on
the old levee will simply amount to nothing
but a temporary Improvement while the pro
posed noiv bank , which will cost hut llttlo
moro , will bo a permanent linpioveincnt.
Mrs. Abigail Crane Downs , mother of Cap

Chief Carey and his men are engaged Iu
looking up two cases of burglary that were
reported yesterday , but no Information sufll-
clcntly definite WM obUincd to vv.irr.mt any
arrests.
Shoitly before noon Mrs , Juno Carroll , the
only xvoman snloonkeeuur In the city , who
runs a place at SO'i Main street , reported to
Ofllcer ICetnp thut her saloon had been bur-
glnrl/cd vvliilo she was attending church , and
robbed of $100 in cash. She had only boon
absent from the place abou t an hour , and before
fore leaving had t iken nil the money she baden
on hand and concc-Jled It In what she im
agined was a safe place In a room adjoining
the s iloon in the roar , The operation was
evidently witnessed by seine ono through
the rear winnow , for when she ro-
tinned from church the window bad been
foiced and her monoj.taken , OfllccrlCemp's
examination revealed nothing in the way of i
duo but the Imprint of a very largo boot hco
In the dust at the bottom of the window.
The woman herself has some infortnatloi
which she thinks will enable the police to ur
rest the buiglar.
AtS : : ) o'clock Saturday night the resl
deuce ot Geo.-goT. Plielps. on tlio corner of
Sixth street nml Willow avenue , was burg <
bed. The servant nirl had gone out and Mrs
Plielps had stopncd across the street to chat

the doors unlocked. She was only absent i
shorttlmo , but during the time a rear win
dovv was raised mil tlio house raided. Tin
matter w.is not icported until jcsterdaj

and la the soft earth beneath th
\vlndow on the outside were th

In the City Jail.
The police register yesterday morning I
op showed that the usual number of tinfortun
IIill
ntcs had found their \vny Into the city ill
and were spending the bright Sunday in th
thick atmosphere of the small cells and nar
row corridor thnt inako the city prison any
ist thing but a pleasant place to stay in. y10
.so ds cells and conidor are ventilated on sclcntlll
ho principles , but it would require somethln
homl
ml more than the operation of an air blast t
ho carry away the foul odors as fast as they ai
.In created ,
Yet despite the crowded condition and tin
many discomforts , many of the unfortunates
were managing to get n great deal of enjoy
ment out of It. Thosoundof a banjo and tlio
musical voice of a colored man who has ono
day more to servo to complete a ten day's sen
tence for Intoxlcntlonnrosclnstevenlng above
the hum of conversation nnd the clutter of
awl ft feet keeping time to his music and ap
plauding his minstrel songs.
"Yes , the old place Is prcttv well filled , "
remarked Dcputv Mirshnl White , "but wo
don't consider twenty-live or thlrtvmuch of
n crowd. The entire size of the room occu
pied bv these men J About 1-txJJ foot , minus
the thickness of the plating and tbo walls of
the cells. Thoio are only bunks for about n
dozen Thoroinalnder havoto hunt asoft place
In the cement lloor , but If they have n
blanket that Is about as comfortable as the
buiiki , for the softest side of the bunks is
composed of chilled steel.
"What is the largest number of prisoners
wo have ever h id hero nt one tlmo ! Forty-
eight , I bcllovo. The hold of the old building
was full then , and the overflow reached up
Into tbo upper rooms. At thnt tlmo the eltv
jail was the most compactly Illled building
In the city. Besides the inultltudo of
prisoners wo had to furnish accommoda
tions for the police headquarters , about all
the city papers thit had accumulated slnco
the town was incorporated , the marshal's
ofllee , a largo pirt of tlio tr.ifs and belong
ings of the cltv engineer's onico , nnd n lot of
other stuff. That was ono of tho'blgnest
davs wo have over had. The stieets were
full of drunks and the ofllcers had run in
the parilciimnts In half a doen lights , nnd
when wo thought wo were about Illled up a
gang of twenty-live or thirty tr.mips attacked
Detective Price nt the Milwaukee yaids and
nil the oftlccrs that could bo sp.irod were sent
down to assist him and capture the gang.
They get a lot ot them and the arrests for
the day amounted to moro than fifty , Tlio
Milwaukee tr.imps were the most vicious
looking snt of thugs I over saw , ntul wo
picked out the worst of the lot and sentthom
down to Jlinmlo O'Neil , to bo cared for In the
county Jail. You recollect they catno pretty
nearly murdciing the detective , and if everyone
ono of them was not a murderer then their
countenances libeled them. Sheriff O'Ncil '
still sa\s the 11 f teen wo sent him were tlio
hardest g.ing ho over had in the big cylinder.
They gave him lots of trouble aim ho had to
Keep them caged all the time , and onca was
compelled to turn the hose upon thorn and
neaily diovvn them before ho could reduce
them to subjugation.
"Yes , wo have had lots of murderers in
heie , and none of them has over made his
escape. I think there have at least been
thirty. There has only been ono escape since
I have been hoio in llvo J cars , and that was
whoa nioung fellow who is well known nnd
need not. bo named got into the rear of the
cells and mndo his osenpo by digging through
the brick wall.
"Wo are hotter fixed now that wo over
were for taking care of the boys. Slnco the
police headquarters have been moved Into
the new building -wo have nil the up
stairs , nnd Marshal Tcinplcton has ariangei !
thrco additional room * , giving us four whoio
wo used to have only ono , enabling us to keep
about seventy men hero at ono time. I don't '
think there Is another building in the city of
tbo same size that you could con line that
number of men in and not have a repetition
of the black hole horror of Calcutta during
the Crimean war. Any pluco for women

each prisoner's ' ambttton to got on the gooi
sldo of the Jailor and bo permitted to occupj

"Never since I have been hero have thcro
been out two occasions when the jail wa <

from ono year to another there are hundred !

Another Burglary.
The third burglary reported In the last
twenty-four hours occurred last night at the
icsidcnco of Mrs , Hoagland , on tbo corner of
Third avenue nnd Ninth street. The fnmily
had gone to church , and the burglary was
committed between 7:80 : nnd 0 o'clock , at
which time Mr. tloagland returned to the
house and saw at a gl.inco that it had been
thoroughly overhauled during his absence.
A fuithor investigation showed that a rear
class door hud been broken open to gain an
entrance. A bundle or clothes lying oa the
icar porch had been use-l to inufllo the sound
and the glass in the door broken. Tlie buig-
lais v\ero apparently not satisfied with the
opening thus made , but had loiccd the door
open by breaking the lock and splitting the
casing on the inside.
A hasty Inventory of the household ( roods
showed the absence of a line chinchilla over
coat belonging to the head oftho family , a
blue dress belonging to Mrs. HoaglanU.n gold
headed cane , n , razor and other smaller arti-
clcs. If nnvthing clso was taken it was not
discovered and reported to the police. Olllcer
Wcgetlc Investigated the case but could ilnd
nothing to servo as a clue.
On Saturday night an attempt was made
to enter the residence of P. H. Hill in the
sumo block , but it was not attended with
success.
The police think this last burglary gives
some evidence of the presence of profession-

The nbovo note to Tin ? nni : advertising
man , written by Mr. Simon Elseman on a
telegraph blank , was tlio invitntlon to the re
porter sent to enjoy an hour In rambling
through the half nillo of aisles on the IIvo
lloor of the Elsomans' preat cominorclal
palnco. Tlio hour wim Insulllclent to see nil
but enough was noted to support Mr. Else-
inim's assertion thut there was no person
about the building who could llnd time to
wrlto advertisements without neglecting
patent customers.
On the Hist floor Saturday afternoon thcro
was scarcely standing room. The l.idioa
were miking their purchases ol dress goods
from the grout display of raio bargains for
tlio liolldav trade. It was as busy n scene as
Council llluffa ever witnessed. Clerics wcio
almost concealed behind the piles uiul
stacks of goods that had been taken
down to suit the varying1 tastes
of the shoppers. Kvorv loom In the
clvill/cii world had contributed to the stock ,
and the lady who did not buy hud no oicuso
to pie id except the single ono that she had
alre.uh bought too much for her purse In
some of the other departments.
The greatest attraction was on the third
floor , which is devoted wholly to the toy do-
pirtment ntul tlio holMny goons. Of itself
Ills us largo ns two ordinary stores , but
every fOt of room that was not Ukenup by
thu crowds of people was occupied by stacks
of goods designed for presents. SantaClnus ,
the real live old gentleman In llcsh and blood ,
was thcro making his way through the crowd
followed by troops of happy children. The
hundieds of visitors were unstinting In their
commendations of the clegmt exhibit , anil
the children especially weio cxubei.int In
their exclamations of delight at the many
things peculiarly attractive to them
Santa Glaus was in nil his ( 'lory and
tlio kindly olri king of the Juvenile heart was
followed ubout .is ho led the way from onu
attractive exhibit to another by a band of
enthusiastic children wild abundantly as

partment which is a veritable museum of
curiosities , embracing -cvervthlue that the
genius of Invention has brought out for
tlio amusement ot the children. Tlio
mechanical and stciun toys were paiticulnrly
attractive mid elicited the most \oclforous ex
clamations of delight from the llttlo ones.
While Santa Claus Was escorting the Ju
veniles through the crowded and beautifully
in ranged departments allotted to them , the
older visitors weio finding gratification in an
Inspection of the superb stocks in which
there are hundreds of appropriate gifts for
geutloiiion , young and old , unique and desira
ble presents for ladies of all ages , and many
articles useful and hoiutlful , which aio
always in demand.
Hero is a partial list of thelhollday display ;

There are more plush goods on this floor
than used to como to the city in nn entire
season , and everything is of the newest and
handsomest design , and tacked to each is
the startling legend "half price. "
On the second lloor is displayed the finest
and largest line of cloaks and Jackets to bo
found in any house in the west. This depart
ment was likewise crowded , and the fact
that so many people from abroad , as well as
from the city , wore buying was explained by
the clerks , when they would tell the custom
ers that the management had determined to
clobo out the season's stock by the Una of the
year , and rather than carry over anything
had cut the prices on every garment to the
wholesale figure. Among the purchasers
were noted several dealers replenishing tbolr
stock.
In all the other departments the same busy
scene is noted , proving the assertion of the
management that Elseman's is the hradnuart-
era for this western country lor every line of
dry goods.

Rev. Wlllnrd Scott q ( the St. Mary's nvo
nuo Congregational church delivered alec
turo lust nicht upon ' -Tho Spirit of the Purl
tans. " V " *
The discourse dealt < vvlth the early settler :
of Virginia , and of tu'o Massachusottes col
ony as well as with thb Purlsans who cann
over iu the Mnyflovvcr. The latter , Mr
Scott said , were but a fragment of these win
suffeicdnnd believed practically the siinu
things. The Pilgrims , ns the Mayflowei
vo ) tigers were called , were soon absorbed uj
the Massachusetts colony but ns i
moral episode the expcilcnco of tin
Pilgrims was grind. Puritanism reall iyf. ;
began with the revival of learning In the lit
f.o
tcenth century , was stimulated by the reformation
oIS
formation in thu sixteenth century nnd wa
still further ilpcncd and brought to Its ftilles
development by the involution In the seven
tcenth century.
There vvcro thrco classes in the church of
England that were dlstatUlled with oxutlni !
regulations. First , tlio > o who vvcro incllnei {
toward more llborullty for Catholicism in the
o lurch ; soconil , the o who were kin vvn as
conformists at d want el to reform the churcl
fiMn will.in , and third , the separatists , vvh
had given up the tiopc of remaining in the
church and having the religious freedom they
desired.
Those three sects wore represented ninon g
the Purltatls. The sop iratlsts had been vir
tually driven out of Kiulutul. They went to
Holland but found that their children were
rapidly adopting the ways of the Dutch niul
would eventually bccomo n , Dutch people so
they cnuio to America. Besides these three
fleets from J'nglaml there woio Puritans
from Scotland , franco and Swltzcilnnd.
What was the belief of the 1'urltans I They
wanted more simplicity In religious worship.
Tnoy wanted n religion that had not so much
of the mystoilous about It and was free from
the formalities and ceremonies of the churh
of Kngland. They wanted priests who should
Iw looked upon ns men not ns mysterious
beings endowed with nny special power.
They wanted a religions state based upon
Boelety that should bo established by them
selves. . They wished to bo consid
ered the subjects of King James ,
but wanted religious freedom. They
caino for conscience sake , but it was
for tlio sake of their own consciences. Th oy
never Intended to tolerate In others what
thov did not believe themselves. The bible
to them was supreme and they Intended to
enforce It ns they understood ft.
Tbo non-conformist ol Boston was no moro
liberal than the non-conformist of London ,
but the men were larger and hotter than
their creed , Tlictoas no nrlstocracv in
property for there was plenty of land. They
recognized no exiwnont of the word of God
ns high ns the word itself. Magistrates
had to keep Its commands niul kings had to
look up to it The theatres and other amuse
ments that they prohibited aio not desired in
the present day. They were laughed at Just
as tlio strictly lellglous of all ages nro
laughed at , but the great central truths that
they clung to regarding simplicity of ro-
llglous worship and the dealing away of the
mysterious authority that used toclotho the
priests and ministers arc n pirt of our belief
and practice today. Wo of the
presei.t do not bellevo in the
things which they fought npnlnst
Why has the Puritan declined ? Because
work ho had to accomplish lias been done.
Church and state in this country mo sepa
rated. The priests are now ministers with
only the authority of num. Hullgion is ap
plied In n rational way to soclctv and the
evils that the Puritan strove against ha\
disappeared.
The struggles of puritanic days are over ,
but wo should bo grateful for the work the
Puritans accomplished. Wo should feel
grateful for the heroic men ami vigorous
characters of these days , and wo should ro-
iDPinoer that tnelr efforts shaped the relig
ious customs and the religious freedom that
we ciijoy.

IT'S A DU.VUIjY INVENTION.
The Great Vnluo of Hminciisllo In
Nnvnl Warfare.
The oi'dnanco burcJut of the navy is
still oxnorimonting with the high explosive -
plosive invented by Dr. Stephen 11. Em
inent ! and known ns eminoiiBite , and it is
believed the result thus fur obtained in
dicate that another most important of
fensive ncfcncy will soon bo at tlio dis
posal of the navy , Bays a Washington
special to the Chicago Tribune.
The experiments bhow that the com
pound , when exploded with a fuhninnto
detonator , bus about the sumo explosive
force us jjun cotton ; that it is insensible
to friction and impact , and only locally
ignited by Hume ; thnt it is not affected
by { Treat changes in temperature nor in
jured by freezing nor thawing , and tlmt
it loses little of its strength nftor bolng
repeatedly naturntcd with water and
dried.
A largo number of projectiles loaded
with it have been llrcd from powder
guns without a single premature explo
sion or accident of any kind , and the
bureau ih now making preparations to
test it on a larger scale. For this pur
pose a special gun is to bo built ut tbo
Washington ordnance foundry capable
of throwing n projectile containing a
bursting churyo of 100 pounds
of emmensito. Thib gun is to beef
of stool , built up much as the regular
service rillo , but will not bo so long. It
will bo rather a rilled mortar , longer
in the tube , however , than the ordinary
typo of rilled mortars being built for the
army. The tube will bo short enough to
avoid the danger of premature explosion
by excessive ho.iting of the pro-
jeutile in tlio bore of the gun , as inignt
result if the long service gun were
iibcd , and it will btill bo long enoucrti to
o much greater range , and con-
oqucntly greater accuracy can bo ob
tained than with the ordinary mortar.
As soon as this gun is completed it will
bo taken to the now proving ground at
Indian Head , on the Potomac , and n
serins of tests will bo made to ascertain
Iho capabilities of the now explosive and
the limitations of its usefulness.
Just what place it is destined to oc
cupy in the arm.iment of war vessels
will not bo definitely decided until nftor
oi-o experiment ; ) , but it is believed that
it will bo specially useful for vessels that
are expected to fight at elo o quartern ,
suoh as the Ainmeii ram and the torpedo
cruisers. Tlio ordnnnco bureau has al
ways hold that high explosives in n.ival
operations should bo fired from a pow
der gun , and it is thought that
the now gun will provo supe
rior to the pneumatic guns with
which the gun cotton cruiser Vesuvius
is provided. The gun to bo built at the
ordnance foundry can bo handled just
the sanio as the otdinary torvico gun in
every respect , while the pneumatic guns
of the Vesuvius are built into her hull
and can only un aimed by maneuvering
tlio vosaol , and their range can only bo
varied by varying tlio amount of air ad
mitted to lire them.
