The artesian well at Lake Mnnawa Is attrnctintf a good deal of attention and many roinnrkablo euros are reported as having hoon made by the use of Its waters. Last spring the well was sunk to n depth of 185 foot , and a handsome pavilion built around it. The well was originally sunk In 1880 , when the hotel was being built. Its strong mineral qualities were at once discovered and a quantity ot Iho water was sent to Prof. August Hodo of Milwaukee , with the following roHult : Sulphate of iron , 0.9. Sulphate of magnesium , 4.6. Phosphate of magnesium , 8.8. Chalybeate , 3.4. sulphate of sodium , 3.0. Chloride of sodium , a trace. Reaction Slightly alkaline.

SEWS FROM COUNCIL BLUFFS , Approach of School's ' Beginning Brings up a Burning Question. - WHAT THE NEW SCHOOL LAW FOSTERS. Monopoly of MniullliiK Text llnnkH ICHtulillHlicd , and a Complete Change Ordcrcil Cheering l''uluro I'r A weak from today tlio public schools open and preparations nro n I ready being made for the opening of the tonn , At that time tha parents of tlio school children \\ill lie al lowed to test the now school book law ana llnd out whether or not they llho it. As al most the cntlro list of books used in tlio schools wits changed by the board at its last regular meeting It will bo necessary for the patents to buy new books almost entirely. This fuel will probably cause a good deal of imimblliiK at the outset , as many of the old set of books are still In such condition. Unit they could have been used had not the change boon ordered , out It Is thought by the member * of the board that the best In terests of the schools will bo advanced by the new system more than they would Uavn been by the old. The book sellers are crumbling over what they term the injustice * of a rule of the board that gives ono book sollur a monopoly of all tlio school trudo , and compels them to go out ot the school book business altogether or else sell the books at cost a thing which they could not do very well and nay expenses. The contract , for the s lo of tbo tiooks has been lot to D , W. Ihishnell. without pay , and the consequence Is ho will liuvo quite au advantage - vantage over the other book sellers in the way of advertising , although he , like the rest , must sell bis goods at cost. It Is said , however , that this state of affairs Is not to lust long. "In the course of a j oar or two , " said a member of the board yester day , "wo shall find that the publishers of the text books which nro to ho Introduced in the schools this your will bo nblo and willing to sell the books at qnlto a discount fio/n tbo prices which wo are to. pay. Five years Is a long time , especially in tbo life of a school book , and those that are now selling ut par will probably bo selling anywhere from ' . ' 3 to 50 per cent below par InskJo of three years , on account of tlio frequent revisions that they are nut through. There lias boon a decrease of about MO pur cent in the last five year ? , and there is no reason why the same ratio of decrease should not take place in the next five. As soon as the books dcnrcclato In valno so that the stores ran handle them at n prolit the hoard will probably find that its business In that line will bo gone , although it will still bo neces sary for us to keep on baud enough of n stock to supply those who want to buy of us. There is no doubt that the system has its disadvan tages as well as its advantages , and it only remains for us to sco whicn is in the ma jority. " _ Confession of n Burglar.

In hib confession ho said : "When I sue a man putting his money in his pocket , or even in a bank , I always fool that there is tome show for mo to got it in some way , but when I see him putting his money into one of those lots in Morningsido , I know I can't rob him.

Ho was put behind the bars , wheru ho at once proceeded to make trouble. Ho kicked and cuffed ouo of the other prisoners , a small boy , until bo had to bo put into a cell in order to prevent him from seriously Injuring als 'victim. ' A couple of ladles went to the jail in tbo after noon lo hold rolitilous services , when the fellow commensed to abuse them as well as ho could from hit * position behind the bars. All manner of disgraceful epithets wora applied bv him lo Ihe ladies , and all efforts to induce him to behave himself wore with out avail.

AM VHKMKXTS. In this work-a-day world of ours , which the late Mr. Dickens spoke about so feeling ly , novelty and originality are sought after with as much zeal as characterized Do Leon's search for the fabled fountain of youth , and as often they fall to materlali/o. Theatre-goers , satiatod. with the many types of character which have boon ex ploited behind the footlights , now and then are permitted to enjoy a distinctive ly now creation and in conbcqucnco crowd tbo tbo theater upon whoso stage u character now to tbo drama is being devel oped. Such a condition of alTalrs obtained last night at the Favnani Street theater whou "Ole Olson , " "Just from Oklahoma , " applied for a ' 'yob" and before the llnal cur tain terminated the play , had ecu rod not only a position but a place in the world , duo to a native shrewdness and thorough adapta bility for whatever was required of him. No field Is more fertile for the play-right than the developing of the Scandinavian character , and when Gus Ileego last season gave to tbo stage a plav the central llpuro of which was a Swede , the press and public recognized that a now personage had been added to the countless typos of people who inhabit stage-land. Crowded bouses every where payed tribute to tbo author and actor , ttbo in a season Jumped from obscurity into popularity because ho had gone out of the beaten track for his story and had drawn inspiration from a sturdy , industrious nation whose representatives , are found exciting no little influence upon this side the w'ator. Last evening one of the largest houses over seen in tlio old Boyd theater enjoyed to the utmost the complications which surround a Swede , whoso name , Ole Olson , would have probably been answered by a hundred other Olcs In tbo bouso had some one called it out. out.There There is some attempt made at a plot in tbo play , certainly a moro ambitious offoit than is usual with farce comedies , and.tbo brunt of the story is born by Ole Oteson , which this season is played by Hurt Handrlck * , a very careful , painstaking comedian , whoso work is qulto oiual ) to that of his predecessor. In dialect ho particularly cxrolls although ho lacks the unctlousnoss which was a characteristic feature of Mr , Hcogo's performance. His singing U good , nnd.wllb a handsome stage presence to send the hearts of the Swedish maidens in the audience to beating taster , bo leaves little to bo desired.

' < Iiiilc SOUTH OMAHA , Neb , Atifr. 20. To the Editor of Tin : BKC : I would like to add this little tribute to the memory of the distinguished jurist that has ono to his loiifr homo. It is simply a little story , justa little part of the story of his noble life. The episode occurred in the dark days of the war March , 1801. The place was at the great sAlt basin , just west of whore the city of Lincoln now stands. I was a resident at the basin at Ihe time. Judge O. P. Mason was provost marshal for the district of southern Nebraska and ho visited the basin on the track of two deserters who had escaped from a Kansas rcplmont about' year previous. The marshal had formed an acquaint ance in Nobra ka City with the writer ami know that as a union man ho could trust him. The marshal , accompanied by a driver , approached and after the usual salutation said : "Do you know one - and ono "Yes , sir. " "Aro they in any way related to you ? " "No , sir. " "How long have you' known them ? " ' Probably eight month's. " "Can you toll mo where they live ? " "Vos , sir ; but why all those ques tions11" ! The mnrsliall seemed troubled and asked , " ( ! ati I put full confidence In you that you will not betray moV" "Most certainly1 was the answer. " \Vollt those mon are deserters and I am after them , ' ' was his reply. "My(3odl Is that so ? 1 would never have dreamed It , Why , Mason , these men have always appeared to be the most stanch union men in the country. They have always seemed to hate the rebels and would do anything to further the union causo. " Ho piled many qttostloiH to mn ns to how they were situated. They were lo- Oated on claims on the Hluo river , just north of where Howard now stands. They each had largo families of young children and were poor. The winter of ' ( IH-4 had been very severe and there had been great loss of block by sta.'vatioti , and the men had lost a largb portlo n of theirs and at this very tlmo their cattle and horses were but walking shadows. Their families were like all others on the frontier pinched with poverty. I said , "Mason , I want to bo loyal to my country , and yet these people ple nro my frlonds. If you take those fathers away , I see no way to save the poor women and children from starvation , and what's more I am expecting one of the men at our house this very evening on his wny home with a load of provisions from Gage county , what sliall I do ? " Night was fast approaching. I had invited the marshal to share with us out1 humble homo for the night Wo wore momentarily expecting the deserter to drive up , and thai troubled me , and I soon loarnul that it troubled the mar shal. Simper being qyor ho told the driver to look after the team and then said to me'lot's take a walk. ' Wo walked some distance. Then ho gave vent to his feelings in the manner fol lowing : " 'What shall I do ? What shall I do ? I am sworn lo my duty as an ollleor yet how can I drag'theso men from their wives and children , and lo-ivo them on this frontier to starve and perish ? " The position was certainly most try ing. By accident the deserter did not reach our house that night. The marshal finally catno to this con- elusion. That ho would go liomo and report the deserters as having loft the basin for the west the previous summer. Then ho asked if I would make haste and bee them and have them take their families to tholr friends , dispose of their property and go to Nebraska City and urrondor themselves , with his promise | i o see them reinstated without punish - mont. The men did make nroparation and gave themselves up and served to the I end of the war. ' Now ono of these gentlemen is a 1 wealthy farmer of Gage-county and it was my pleasure to pay htm a visit two years ago. I have lost sight of the , other. The cause of their desertion was abusive treatment on the part of a swellheaded - headed captain. FOR The Cheapest and Best Medicine for Family Use in the World.
