Lafayette addition to the city of Councl
Bluffs Is probably one of the worst sells that
wns perpetrated upon thn public in the
vicinity of this city ana the victims nro mini
bored by the score. The addition was platteO
about two years ago bv Frank H. Jo romp ol
Omnbn , and from that time to this the s lo of
lots has been going on , the purchasers resid
ing all over the country from the Atlantic to
the Pa--lnY. It has been represented to each
of them that the property U very valuable ,
and the fact that It lies convenient to the
cities of Council UlnlTs and Omiiha has been
called attention to as an Inducement to pros
pective purchasers. There Is only ono thing
that tends to depredate- the value of the
property , and that Is that moro than three-
fourths of It lies i t the bottom of Lake Man-
awn nnd the MUsonri tivor. The sellers ,
Ijowover , have not been in tbo habit of re
ferring to that fact In making their sales.
The land Is practically worthless , uut lots
have sold all the way from $30 to fl,500
apiece , and every few dixys letters of inquiry
are received from parties in the cast , which
shows how widely the company that pldttcd
the addition has cairlcd on it. operations.
Yesterday there \vos it now development in
the deal which mav servo to lighten thc'load ,
of grief on the minds of these who have boon
taken in. It will bo remembered that many
of the deeds to the property were made out
In the nauioof FieO M. Bender ns grantee.
Just what connection he had with the affair
was not known at the time the sales wore
made , but It became known yesterday when
ho appeared nt the court house and made a
number of Inquiries as to the welfare of
Lafayette addition. In n conversation which
ho held with ono of the ofllciuls it leaked
out that Bender was a partner of Jerome
in the deal , and that ho was to all intents
and purposes as deep In tno mire as the
other.
Ho stated that a contract had been entered
into between him and Jerome by which six
teen solid blocks wcro to be deeded him by
Jcronio for a tluUtious consideration. Bender
was then to maku out deeds to the property ,
the names of the purchaser being left blank ,
in order that Jerome might till them out as
fust as ho made the sales. In this way Jerome
was apparently acting merely us an agent for
"
Bender , and"so a largo shore of the
responsibility of the crooKcd business
would bo shifted off his shoulders.
In con i Id oration for thus matting
Bender into a cat's paw , Jerome sold to him ,
"dirt cheap , " as ho culled It , ono lot in each
block , making sixteen In all , for $ J.r > 0.
Bender claims ho did not know just what
sort of property he was buving , although thu
circumstances connected with the deal ap
pear to bo sadly against bun.
At any rntii. the sale was consummated ,
mid Bunder , being unable to raise the neces
sary $250 In cash , gave Jeron.s a mortgage
for the amount on about JoOn worth ol house
hold property. Time went by and he was
unable to pay off the mortgage , aud thu con
sequence was that a day or two ago Jerome
levied on the mortgaged property and took
everything Bender had In thu world , leaving
him in just the shape in which the two part
ners hud expected to leave all their victims.
Bonder's mission at the court house yester
day was to looic over the records to llnd. If
possible , some Haw in the deeds by which ho
could got out of his bad bargain , but it was of
no use ; the corners wcro all nailed down , and
the only consolation lie could llnd wus that ho
could sympathize with sotno of the others
wbo had been duped by the fraudulent trans
actions of himself and Jerome.
The county o 111 cm Is arc in favor of some
thing being dona to bring the parties who
have been guilty of the fraud to justice.
Every few days a now deed comes in for
record In which the consideration named is
tar abovetbo actual value of the land sold ,
and the result Is that the victimized parties ,
when they find out the true state of affairs ,
steer clear of Council Bluffs real estnto In the
future. It is probable that Lafayette ad
dition has done moro to damaeo tbo standing
of Council Bluffs real estate in tbo eyes of
foreign capitalists than any other calamity
that has over done business In the city.

COUNCIL BLUFFS , la. , Aug. 27. To the
Editor of TUB BEE : As the Omaha
picnickers are still kicidng about their
Manawa lunch , I wish to briefly correct some
statements made by "Royal Arcanum" In
yesterday's BISK , i know and can prove ,
when the time comes , that this Omaha par'y
was furnished with the following : Ono
hundred and 11 Hy loaves bread , 4 hams , S
pounds cheese , US pounds roast beef , 38
pounds tongue , 10 gallons Ice crcum , 11 cakes ,
54-woith of olives.
Tlioy managed to get away with nearly
every bit of this , which is pretty good for
Kickcis , who have not paid oven buo penny.
In regard to crossing the lake , two smaller
stoameis carried the entire party over In
forty uilnutas , and continued to make regular
trips every twenty-live minutes until a half
hour after all the Omahans had loft the
beach.
When the party alighted from the Omaha
motor the Manawa train was only two blocks
away , so that there wa s practically a close
connection made , and the train reached Man
awa on schedule time.
I hope I shall have no further occasion to
correct such gross misstateraent of facts.

"Tho Mikado , " Gllborj } ' ftid Sullivan's de
lightful comic opera , wa'j welcomed last
evening by n largo nvllllbnco nt the Grand
opera house , with n wnrmth and enthusiasm
which betokened tbo pretence of an old
friend. It Is too late nqVr 'to speak of the
merits of "Tho Mikado , " for It has been In
the repertoire of every Ungllgb opera coin-
pony slnco Its prcmorc'hnd ! , lie ( old wine , It
grows moro delicious with the years. Its
humor is Irresistible , itsl attire as keen ns n
Damascus blado. showing with no uncertain
force the folly of a former craze for every
thing Japanese.
From nn artistic standpoint the opera was
not up to tbo standard tnado by "Tho Bo-
homlum Girl. " and It was only tbo nlcaturo
experienced by the audience ever the pro
duction of n great favorite that assisted ma
terially In Its fairly successful presentation
The principals 'vith one or two exceptions
wore painfully nervous and when the llnnl
curtain shutout the picture , the judgment
was , that the opera haa been badly cast In
several particulars.
Miss Luuru Clement , with a very English
Intonation , who was heralded as the original
Yum Yum o.i this sldo the water , gave n
negative Interpretation to that most delight
ful of comlo opera heroines. While &ho
slnK" well , she lucks the humor of the role ,
which Is so essential and which was n distin
guishing feature of deraldlno Ulmnr's per
formance.1
Miss Lllllnn Swain made a wondnrfully
fnvoralilo Impression as Plttl Sing. She has
cliic and beauty and slugs the score as
Omaha people have not hoard It In years ; In
fact she made tbo distinct hit of the perform
ance on the female sldo.
Mr Charles Drew was inimitable In the
low comcdv nart of ICoko , a part with which
he has been Identified for years. He is one
of the few excellent comedians on the lyric
stage , and while he now and then takes liber
ties with the book , ho never steps beyond the
narrow bounds which divides comedy from
buffoonery. Appreciating no doubt the rela
tive weakness of some of the members In the
cast , ho gave n thoroughly pleasing perform
ance.
Jesse Jenkins , ns the Mikado , was very
good , his work being clean cut to n degree
which cannot bo said of Mr. H. T. Lester , in
' .ho role of Pish Tush. In fact It would
have been to the advantage of
the opera , to bavo cut tbo part out , so far as
Mr. Lester was concerned. Mr. John E.
Brand , us Pooh-Buh. wus as solemn as bis
combined dignities and titles warranted , yet
ho fulled to bring to light the line shading re
quired to fittingly portray ono of the
strongest characters In the realm of opera ; n
character which requires a most subtle
humor , n delicious appreciation of Gilbert's
satire aud still in a self-satisfied manner the
roiiBic which has bctm Intrusted him.
While Mr. Brand Is a good musi
cian , and conscientious to a degree ,
ho Is not In hU best form
In the character of Pooh Bah. Miss Tilllo
Dixon sang Katihsn in u mediocre manner ,
showing n woeful lack of familiarity with the
business of the 'part.
The female chorus was excellent. The
male chorus needs strengthening badly and
when this is done , there Is no reason why
the Gnrrow company should not glvo a very
enjoyable season of summer opera.
Uut the orchestral Only the presence of
several policemen In the house pre
vented tbo princlpalsii from a personal
encounter with the gentlemen in the band :
oven Mr. Henry Hallatr ) , who sung the part
of NnnkI Pee very acceptably indeed , giving
a finished portraiture of- that light juvenile
role , showed signs of < nn"intornul struggle
when his solo was reached , while Mr. Drew

XllKY 3IAHK A GOOD FIGHT.
Last Day's Proceed Ings of Patriotic
SOIIH or America.
Piiii.xnnLriiiA , Pa. , Aug. 27. At the con
elusion of tbo reports of the various commit
tees nt the meeting of Patriotic Sous ot
America today the question of admitting col
ored men was again Indirectly trkcn up. The
question came up under tbo guise of a resolu
tion , offered by the Pennsylvania delegates ,
tnat a two-thirds vote should bo necessary to
amend the constitution. The western Hole-
gates , who have opposed , almost to a man , the
admittance of colored members into tbo order ,
wore taken oy surprise at this sudden move
of the eastern members , but they felt Ilttlo
alarm that it would bd successful , knowing
tbo sumo number of votes would bo requisite
us was required to amend the constitution seas
as to admit colored members ,
Tbo debate that followed the offering of
the resolution was a long and hot ono.
When the vote wns finally taken the resolu
tion was defeated bv n vote of HO to 30 , thus
settling in the negative for another year the
question of the admittance of colored
members.
When the Pennsylvania members found
that they bad been beaten on the colored
question , they put into execution the throat
that they hod boon holding out to the west
ern members , that Is the power given them
by their largo representation in the camp to
select tbo next pluco of mooting and to elect
officers pledging themselves to the support
of the proposed amendments. Lebanon , Pa. ,
was selected as the next place of mooting ,
nnd the third Tuesday of September as the
time.
Following are the officers elected for the
ensuing year :
National president , CUronco E. Ruth of
Pennsylvania.

Chicago Intcr-Oconn ! From 1844 to 1801 Is
not very lopg. but It is the measures of time
between thu days In which the mall wns the
sucedlost method of cotninunlciitlni ; with
distant persons nnd those In which the men
grumble If n mossngc bo not sent to nn
answer received from New York In something -
thing considerably less than an hour. Thnro
nro two men now llvlnc who helped to
lay Morss's first line between Washington
and Baltimore. Ono of them is still nt
work on telegraphs ; the Treasury Depart
ment bus given tbo other n sanctuary In
which , It Is to bo hoped , ho may end bis days
in peace. The man who kept the govern
ment in Washington Informed by wire ot the
doings of the Baltimore rioters in Ifcrtl allH Is
In the telegraphic service , nnd so Is the man
who bundled the wire when Enrly's raiders
were repulsed in front of Washington.
No class of civilians did better service for
the union during the war time than the tele
graph operators , and not Infrequently the
boys with the wire were exposed to n > > great
danger as the boys with the bayonets , For
many years the great railway companies
wont among the telegraph operators In search
of the best material from which to make
beads of departments. In other branches of
business or of science Carnegie und
Edison beur witness to the vuluo of
the tolegrnph service as a training
school. Thu convention of veteran telogrHph
oporntois recently In session nt Washington
had much honorable history to roho.\rso , nnd
Mr , Plumb's proposition for an orgnnl/ution
of the operators who followed the nrmlos and
partook of their hardships atml dangers ,
while conveying messages between tbo gov
ernment and its defenders , was welcomed
wnrmly.
The time may como when a telegraphic
corps will bo as needful n complement of nu
army as an engineering corps. It is quite
possible that the services of the telegraphers
wore ns essential as these of the engineers
during the warof the union. So it is nut
unnatural that the operators who served
with the urmy should desire , ns Mr.
Plumb stnted the case , " .something
to show to our children that wo
too , \\oro in the service nnd did what wo
could for the government. " As Mr. Plumb
disclaims for himself nnd his brethren of the
wire any desire for "bounty , pension , or
other kind of emolument , " it would bo u
graceful recognition of the patriotic service
of the tolegrunhcrs If thov worn grunted an
bonory place upon the rolls of the nrmlos of
the union.
A DoniOHtlu Klro Itrnnd.
The ndvont of a baby with red hair In n
Butte family promises to laud the parents in
the divorce court. The unhappy father
searched his genealogical trco in vain for an
explanation of the brindle hirsute , and the
inothorwilboqual zeal denied that her family
wore rod headed. Whence came the color !
There's the rub. The father tried to havn
the mother arrested for giving birth to a rod
haired baby. The mother attempted to secure
the father's nrrost for throwing cruel Insults
and insinuations at her und the sunset kid.
At last accounts It is apparent the baby must
dye to prevent divorce proceedings.

GKN1US AND TIIK SCIl.VWJj.
Th3 Ij-itter K-ircl.v nn Indication of
the Former.
"Because you write a bad hand do not
therefore mistake yourself for a genius ,
and do not fancy that bad penmanship is
a surosign of ponius. " This was written -
ton once by a sensoned editor to a slap
dash correspondent , whoso easy writing
made very bad reading to editors ,
printers nnd proofreaders , nnd who un
dertook to justify his scrawls by quoting
in evidence the very bad hand that
Horace Grooloy wrote. True it is that
Grooloy's penmanship was atroci
ously bad bo was Rovordy John
son's. But the world tolerated the
almost illegible chirogrnphy of these
eminent worthies , Editor Grcoloy and
Lawyer and Statesman Johnson , because
they were unable to do that kind of
work any better not because of genius
nnd wo have the evidence of Mark
Twain in his "Innocents Abroad" tint
Christopher Columbuscould , not pen as
good looking a letter as any ordinary
scholar in an American primary si-hoot.
Their penmanship , however , was bad ,
not because they were geniuses , but because -
cause they couldn't help it. Bad hand
writing is not mi unerring sign of ingonu ,
ity of nny kind , and , contrarywiso
the fact of being a genius does not noc-
cssarily Involve handwriting so hard
that it nearly sots editor and printer
cra/.y to decipher it , so hard that it
would provoke- these patient and long
suffering public servants into the use of
language that would bo much more
pointed than polished if they ever gave
way to such profiuio inllrmitios.
No perbon but ono who cannot write a
legible hand is at all oxcubablo for send
ing to another handwriting that is dilll-
cult to read. Whenever such writing is
sent by man or woman who is able to do
bettor , the Bonding of it is in the nature
of an affront to the recipient , except in
the instance where the Kin-awl is caused
by lack of time. It is , liri t of all , an inti
mation that the writer has no considera
tion for olthor the loss of time to which
ho puts the receiver of the scrawling and
bcrambling letter , or to his or her dis
comfort. It is a general intimation that
tills writing , shabby as it is , "ib good
enough for you. " In the next place the
sondincr of such a letter puts dilllculty in
the way of the writer's own purpose ,
whatever it may bo. If the letter goes
to a busy person , almost continuously
occupied with urgent alTalrs , it is almost
certain to encounter dolny. It is at
once laid aside to wait a more conven
ient opportunity for plodding through
ItH hard hieroglyphics , or it is put away
In a pigeon liolo or a drawer for the
lolsuro hour that may bo u week or a
month in coming. Once oil the track ,
Htich a luttor Is not only delayed , but the
object of the wrltor may bo totally do-
Touted , The purpose of the letter or any
written communication is to convoy in
formation , to make bomething known ,
or to explain something to the recipient
of the written paiior , and therefore the
wrltor should endeavor to wrlto in a
way that will plainly effectuate that
purpose , and especially not In a way
that may hinder or possibly defeat it.
When you next sit down to write remember -
member this.
Habitually mid penmanship IB rarolv
welcome in u newspaper olllco , and nlno-
.eon times In twenty is mont unwelcome.
Wo uro speaking now of that uonerlption
of bad penmanship that is dilllcult to
cad because of carnlestinoss in the
'bcrlbbllng" writer or because of too
nuoh "llourish" by the ornamental
commercial college graduate. The plain
land ot the ordinary unprofessional pen
is always preferable and rarely falls
lo get prompt consideration ,
Ho Prcnsed the Ilittton.
The transformation wrought in the
members of the local Four Hundred ,
says the San Fi'iuielseo ' K.xnmltior. by a
few months' sojourn in "Yorrup" is gen
erally so striking that it is no wonder
the teller of ono of our banks refused to
cash a check presented by the son of
ono of its directors the day Attor his to-
turn from a hasty trip "across the pond ,
yor knaw. "
"Your face Is somewhat familiar , "
said the teller , rolloctlvoly , "but I'll
have to insist on your being identified. "
The other morning a couple of drum
mers got into the bay-bound overland
at Sacramento and noticed a very
"globe-trolting" looking individual in
the next compartment , with "sldors , "
bobt.iil check suit , inch-solo shoes , oto.
Winking at the other pnssongerf , ono
of them tapped the tourist on the
shoulder and alTably said :
"Just from London , 1 suppose ? "
"JtHt , " responded the other.
"Seoti any bulTalo coming over1' '
"iVobulTalo. "
"i'hoy are a little scarce this season
for a fact but you'll llnd plenty around
"Frisco.Vholo droves of 'om como into
town every night to got away from the
Indians. "
' 'Do , ohV" sold the check-suit man ,
much interested.
"No end of 'om. Better always take
your rillo with you when you go down to
the postolllco in the morning. "
"Had. oh ? "
"You'll llnd a good many gri//.ly bearn
in the suburbs , too. Now , I biipposo you
carry your revolvers in your hip pockets
old stylo. Just take a tip from mo
and keep 'em in your outside coat
pockets. It's quicker. "
"Think so ? "
"It's the only way. The boys down
below are sliootln' pretty rapid just
now. Why there was a row started in
the Palaro hotel dining room the other
evening and the head waiter and twenty-
six guests were killed in 2:18 : } . Timed
it my&olf. Broke the record. "
"Groat lioavens ! "
"Fact. The only way to do when the
shooting begins is to shoot the man on
each side of you right through your
pockets and then duck under the table. "
"Gracious ! "
"But don't bo uneasy. I'll put you on
to the ropes , .lust lot mo have your
card ant' I'll call round to the hotel borne
night and show you the town. "
"Tnanka awfully , " and the tourist
handed the drummer his card , on which
the latter road : v
JUMUS K. JUIIKINS.
Commission Merchant ,
099 Hnttcry Street , S. l\
There was a long , painful sionco } after
this , during which the drummer looked
thoughtfully out of the window. Finally
the chock-coat man turned round and
remarked :
"Well how about this ? "
And with n. long , sad sigh the drum
mer reached ever nnd prefased the but
ton.
A Newspaper "Hull. "
I mot a newspaper man the other even
ing Mr. Choato of the World stall
who received his early journalistic
training in Texas , writes a correspond
ent of the St. Louis Republic. This has
been a sort of n Texas cok in Now
York , many prominent citl/.ons of the
Lone Star State being hero on business ,
among others thi popular "Bud" Con
nor , now serving his third term as mayor
of Dallas. They have all been moro"or
less reminiscent , but the best story I
hoard from nny of them was an oxporl-
once Mr. Choatc , now a Now Yorifor by
adoption , related , touching on his own
career at Dallas several years ago. Ho
was at the time a proof reader on the
Dallas Commercial , and ho lost his job
through the carelessness of the foreman
in marking two bets of "P" copy and
hanging it on the book at the same
time. The mistake resulted in about
the funniest newspaper "bull" that I
have heard of , by reason of the fact that
the separate takes of the dilToicnt copy
fitted together without a break. Tom"
Ochiltrco , the red-headed ox-congress
man and famous disciple of the science
of hyperbole , made a speech at the
opera house on the evening in question ,
and on the afternoon of the same
day a mad dog had boon killed in the
stroats. Perhaps fate recognised
an alllnity between Ochiltreo and
a mad dog. At any rate the
first "tako" of the Ochiltroc report and
the second "tako" of the mad dog item
cot mixed , and this is the way two para
graphs appeared in the paper the next
morning :
"Hon. Thomas P. Ochiltrco lectured
at the opera houbo last night to an audience -
once that was inclined to bo indulgent.
Before the hour sot for the lecture the
familiar llguro of the eloquent Texan
was prominent on the btago , where lie
sat talking to Colonel . Promptly
at 8 o'clock the colonel arose and in a
few appropriate remarks introduced the
speaker ot the evening , who bowed and
advanced to the front of the stage.
"With his tail tucked between his
logs ho begun to howl , to snarl and to
snap at everything in sight. Ho frothed
at the mouth , ho hlobbored and ho
pouted. Ills long and ugly tongue hung
out Hourly a foot ever his loft jaw-bono.
It was black and heavy. A citivon
recognizing that in such a condition he
was r menace to life , llshcd out a Colt's
i-ovolvor from his hip pocket and drew a
bead on him. A Mimm , whip-like re
port rang out nnd a pistol ball ponu-
Lrntcd the brute's loft oyo. Ho gave an
agonizing yelp , fell ever on his loft eido
and expired. "
Alnil OlHtrllmtlon on CIII-H ,
John Caldwell of South Bond , Ind , ,
who died last week , IH said to have been
the originator of the idea of distributing
mail in the postal cars to facilitate de
livery along the route. The Indianapo
lis Journal bays that Mr. Cnldwell , after
the war , was already in the railway
mail burvico through the inlluunco
of Schuylor Colfax. Ono day ho
was making a trip on the Wnbash road
when the string mound a bundle of
letters made up "Toledo , for Indian
apolis , " broke , scattering the loltoi'b on
the Moor. AH ho gathered up the loiters
ho noticed IhalHovoral of them were in
tended for towns along the road , and
through which , they would pasb anrouto
to IndtanapolJH. It then occurred to
him that clerks could distribute tiicso
lottofH on the train. At the earliest
opportunity ho laid ills idea before the
superintendent , and his pbiw were
adopted.
