NEWS FROM COUNCIL BLUFFS , Qcorgo Metcalf's ' Brief but Interesting Ex perience with a Burglar. SOOTHING QUALITIES OF A SIX-SMOOTER , Though Not Disposed to Sleep , Ho Kcadlly Ulicycil ( he Instructions ofHU Determined Mid night Aoiiitnlntancc , Ocorgo Motcalf had a brief but Interesting experience \vlth a burglar ut nn early hour yesterday morning at his homo on Woodbury nvcnuo. Ho was sleeping the sleep of the just us hard as ho knew how , when bo was suddenly awnlcnca : by feeling something brush against his foot , which happened to DO lying outsldo tlio covers. Ho sat bolt upright In bed , and wh n ho fairly got his eyes open ho found himself looking squarely Into the mu/zlo of a revolver that looked as though It might go off any time , and hoard a low but decided voice telling him to llo down In bed or there would bo a funeral which Mr. Mutcalf would bo sure to attend. Ho obeyed with alacrity , and for what might have been half a minute or half an hour ho lay still. Then ho c.iutiously nrosoaml looked at the door where the burg lar had dlsappcitrnd. The revolver was still there , however , and again bo heard the same voice rudely admonish him to ho down , Tno burglar then approached the bedside , and placing his gun within a hair's breadth of Mr. Motcall's nose , ho snla : "Now , my good friend , you go to sleep. " Mr. Motcalf dhl not feel at that moment In union of a mood for steeping , but ho said ho'd try , and shut his eyes in such a way that he could see the burglar leave the room backwards , with his mm in front of him. When ho thought the man baa eono ho cot up quietly , and sniilng u largo chair that lias been a member of the Motcalf family for 100 years , hurled it at the door , hoping in that way to confuse .Mr. Uurglar so that bo might slide out through another door to a room where ho know where there was n rustv old horse pistol tel without any bullets in it. At the same time ho called Co.- help and aroused the whole family. His TUSO to frighten the burclar failed , as the burglar liU ; already loft the house. The hired girl looked out of the win dow ana saw three men climb into u buggy and drive away. So far as is known nothing was taken , although there was quito u sum of money In ono of Mr. Motcalf's pocxots , which the rob ber had overlooked or bad not titno to llnd , The only damngodono was to the 100-year-old chair , which was broken Into kindling wood by the vigor of its contact with the door.

Saturday afternoon a handsome , dwrk-oyed young widow of petite , willowy form , whoso ctiarms had been ripened by less than 24 years , appeared in the onico of a well known loan broker on Broadway and asked to sccuro a small loan on a valuable diamond ring. The jewel was a bandsomo soltuiro with old and well worn gold sotting. The woman dis played her widow's weeds with entrancing modesty , and every necessary allusion to her dead husband brought u quiver to her shapely lips that created a powerful inducement to oiler surcease for her sorrow In n rlpo , warm kiss. Hut the loan broker recollected his Sunday school oiigaeemei.ts tortho morrow and offered only words of condolence Instead. The lady was dressed in deep mourning of costly material and gave evidence of rolincmont and the acquaintance quaintance- bettor days. She said she Una lust arrived from Dos Moluos , where her husband had died , and as she had just suc ceeded in getting into desirable employment hero , she bad decided to remain permanently in tbo UlufTs. Her household furmtura was still In Dos Molnos covered with a chattel mortgage for $10. She d < lrod tbo loan broker to rent her n suitable cottaco and ad- vunco money enough on her diamond ring to lift the iJos Molnes mortgage. Sbe said the ring was the property of her late hus band and she prized it dearly. The loan agent examined the Jewel and agreed to rauUo the loan provided the diamond mend proved to bo genuine. Ho submitted it to u Jeweler near by , who pronounced It to bo n good stone , worth aoout $100 at whole sale. When the broker returned to his oflleo ho made out the usual short tlrno note , to which tlio woman appended In delicate ohirography I ho name of "Mrs. W. A. Foster , 'Dos Molnes. " Wullo the broker was writing theohcck upon which she was to obtain the desired money the ring lay on the desk In front of him omy a few inches from his bunds and the woman stood by his side. Suddenly she reached over and picked up the Jewel and pressed It to her lips , murmuring fervently : "O , you darling precious thing , how can 1 part with you , oven lor so short a tlmoi" Then going around the table she lala tlio ring down again , at least mio hud fondly hoped she had made the broker think she bad. But n big suspicion had entered his mind , and ho picked up the stone and examined it intently. The gold setting was Identically the same , worn in the same manner , but ho imagined there was a llttlo difference in the shape of the face ot the Jowel. Ho held it down in the shadow of the desk , and it didn't sparkle as It did n moment before. Tno sweet , pleading face of the llttlo widow eloquently precluded the possibility of such a thing , but the hard-hearted broknr shut his oycs nnd blurted out bis suspicion that the genuine ring had boon dexterously changed for a spurious pasta affair , and informed her taut ho could not lot her have the chock until ho hud submitted the Jewel to a re-examination. The widow Hushed deeply , and snatching her ring remarked that there were other places where sbo could got the monov on the prop erly , suddenly loft the onico. It has boon discovered that the woman Is on adroit and successful swindler , and tha t her stock In trade consists of ttio genuine diamond mend ring and a largo numbnr ot pasta imita tions , which she Is engaged in distributing among ttio loan brokers. Her description also tallies exactly with that given of tbo woman who robbed the cusn box at the charity entertainment of the Married Ladles' Social club Saturday nttornoon. My dear sir , I love your daughter and want to mnrry her , but she says you have a con dition to your consent.

Harper's Weekly : Major William McKlnloy has for some years past been bo conspicuous a llguro in American politict ) that it is not necessary at this limn , oven after his election over Oov- orner Campbell In Ohio lias placed him III tlio very fore-front of republican politicians , to more than brio IK- review nis public career , lie was born In Kilos , Trumbull county , O. , fifty years ago. His father , who is still living , was an iron manufacturer , a man of substance and consideration in the community , The son was educated at the com mon schools and the Poland academy. At the age of 17 , when the war broke out , ho enlisted as u private in the Twotity-thircl regiment of Ohio infan try , of which General W. S. Hoseorans and tJonoral Rutherford B. Hayes were olllcors. Ho was promoted to bo com missary sergeant , and then second llou- tenant , and rose to the rank of captain. IIj participated in many of the severest battles of the war , and belne mentioned in general orders , was brovottod major by President Lincoln for gallantry at Opuquan , Fisher's Hill , and Cedar Creek. IIo served upon the stalls of Generals Hayes , Crook , nnd Hancock , nnd was mustered out of the service in the summer ol ISO. ? . After the war McKlnley studied law , and settled In Canton , which Is now his homo. In 1SUO ho was prosecuting at torney for Stark county , and in 1870 ho wont to congress , In which ho sat until the 'Uh of last March brought the Fifty- first congress to an end. Ho wns de feated for re-election to the next con gress , his district having been somewhat changed by the legislature. From the beginning of his congres sional career ho has been u member of the ways and moans com mittee , of which ho was chairman when the famous bill was prepared which bears ills namo. In all of the debates Sn regard to the tariff ho has been conspic uous on the republican side , having been a leader In the light against Mr. Morri son's bill and then against that of Mr. Mills. When the last congress was elected ho was a prominent candidate for the spcakorshlp , but defeated by Mr. Heed in the caucus. At the last ro- puhlican national convention ho was a delegate from Ohio , and was pledged to support Senator Shor- men. Not a few of those in Chicago cage watching the nrcliminary skir mishes before the balloting began looked upon Major Mcivinley's chances for getting the nomination as very good. Ho , however , would consider no over tures , and maintained that it would bo disloyal to Senator Sherman for him to tiormit liis name to bo used. To make Ills feelings perfectly plain , no stated his position in a short speech to the con vention. His manly action at that time cost him no friends , but confirmed him in the regard of honorable men. In personal appearance ho ' is short and stout , and his face Is said 'to bo of a Napoleonic type. IIo is an approach able man , easy , affable , and courteous , but always dignllled. In dcbato ho ulwnys carefully prepares his speeches , and docs not depend on any quickness of repartee for olTcct. But ho is so well informed on his side of tlio great tariff question that ho is an awkward antag onist for any save a master to haiullo. His wife Is an invalid , and his devotion to her , oven when most immersed in public affairs , has always been most considerate nnd tender IJoWitt's Little Karly Hisors for the liver. * THE BHIGGSVILLE KUGLE STAFF. II * . //dWiclii in Harper's "Vc'tJy. Mr. Bernard Borgoois was startled. Ho jumped visibly and nearly dropped a handful of typo ho was taking from a galley to a form on the imposing stono. It was incompatible with the dignity of the foreman of the mechanical depart ment of the Briggavillo Bugle to lose his self-control iiuthis way , and ho looked around uneasily as a Huffy-haired girl at a case near by sniggered and made a whispered remark to another compos itor ; then they looked at him and laughed. What made the foreman jump was a whistle from the speaking tube not far from his oar. Ho did not immediately obey the summons , and another whistle , moro pronounced and longer than the first , made him glue his mouth to the tube and bawl back , "Ilolloi" "Como into my room at once. Don't you understand1" Mr. Bernard Borgcois thought ho un derstood , and taking off his apron wont into the hallway. From an adjoining room ho hoard the clicking of a type writer at intervals with n steady "plunk ! " and then with brl of intermis sions of silenco. Ho hesitated before Icnocking at the closed door , for when the "old mnn" used his machine that way It was nn ollico maxim that ho was in a , bad temper. And the "old man" was in n bad tem per when Mr. Bernard Borgeois must ered up enough courage to face him. His eyes gleamed through a pair of gold bowed spectacles , nnd his hair , which was turning gray , was rumpled ever his forehead. IIo gave the tardy foreman a reprimand for his slowness and then made a remark that quito upset Mr. Bernard Borgoois. "Send everybody homo , " ho said. "I don't think I quito understand , sir , " tailored the foronvin , "it is but a little after 4 o'cloolc. " "That makes no difference. Can't yea hear ? Send ovovyono awjy from here oxcont my ollico boy. That's plain enough , isn't it ? " Every now nnd then the "old man" would absently strike a key with his lin ger , and then look up and jerk out a few words. "But there nro five columns to sot " began the bewildered foreman. "Como cnrlior in the morning , then. I don't want anybody around now. How can a man write with these presses out tlioro making such an everlasting noise , and you people in the composing room giggling nnd making the devil of a racket ? Why don't you have better discipline out thoroV" Mr. Bernard Borgooln had no answer ready. TTo was nonplussed , Never be fore in tlio course of his professional career had ho received such an order ns this. "Send everybody liomol" Was the "old man" going insane ? Did ho not know that tomorrow was publication day ? "Thoro are IIvo columns " ho began ngaln. "Send your flvo columns to the doucol" interrupted the other , furiously. "I don't care whether there nro live col umns or llfty , eo long as every ono of you gets out of horo. Send mo my ollico boy 1" Now the ollico boy , who , by tlio way , was named Cox , but who was known to his intimate friends as "Swlpcboy , " was much moro pleased with the orders ho had received than tlio worthy foreman. IIo wont down into the lower ollico , and eat in an easy chair , with iiis feet on the desk in front of him , and watched the other employes Illo out with a lordly air "Hope you hnvo a very pleasant time , " ho said , politely , to the llully hnlrod compositor. "Wo can run this ollico nlono this afternoon , wo can. I write the eddytorlals and sots them up , The old man , ho'fi writing important letters and can't bo disturbed. Good afternoon. " Cox made himself comfortable in the caskst chair ho could llnd , and amused himself by looking ever a pile of ex changes on n desk nt hand. Presently tilts begun to bore him , nnd ho began rummaging around the room. It was seldom that ho was in the lower oflleo alone , and ho amused himself by climb ing up on n high stool , I'lul liking a pen and Ink and scribbling on some of the ollico paper. "I can do this when I am ono of the cddytors , " ho chuckled to himself. Jufat then ho heard sotno ono coming up the btulrs slowly , nnd turn in nt the door of the ollico. lie ralbiul his.head nnd looked ever the desk and saw n woman standing thoro. She had n very pale face , hut was very handsome. She looked nt the boy wearily. "Is the editor in ? " uho asked. "Well , that depends , " said Swipesoy , still scribbling vigorously , find looking up between dabs at MI.O . white paper boforc him. "Which ono do you want to see ? " Tlio woman sighed wearily and then said , with an olTort , "Mr. Orlswold. " "I am very sorry'bcgan the boy. hitching his stool u littto forward and grabbing his cap off ami , laying It carefully - fully down before him"but , ho Is very busy very busy Indeed and gave or ders that no was not to ba disturbed. If there Is anything I tilth do ' ' and ho paused , expectantly. "Nothing , " she replied , and sat down in u chair near the wlmlow. "Will you plcaso tell him a lady is waiting to SGJ him when ho is at liberty ? " Now the ollico boy scarcely know what to do. Ho did not exactly care to go up stairs on an errand like that ; it would ruin his dignity , after the remarks ho had already mado. Besides , the editor was in a nasty temper and might throw an ink bottle at him , or something , if disturbed. Tlio speaking tube there was his salvation I Ho jumped from the high stool and yelled the mess-ige up. There was no reply , but It answered every purpose , and ho turned to the lady and said : "Very good ; ho will sue you when lie Is not busy ; but you may have to wait. " This was the first time- that Swiposoy hadsoon , tlio lady face to face , and ho .started a little , and looked at her again. Then ho put his hands behind him and stared at the floor for a moment. "I know what you are , " ho said , presently. "You are his wifo. " The woman looked up quickly and raised ono of her hands to her forehead. She seemed a bit da/.cd , and asked , in a way that convinced Swiposoy that she scarcely know what she said : "How did you know ? " "I knewl I guessed ! I put two nnd two together and I know moro about the old man than the rest of the people ; and do you know , If you will let mo say it , I think you haven't treated him right. " The woman Hushed , and looked at the boy angrily. "Don't got mad about It , " ho advised her , in a fatherly way. "I mind my own business. What you two people want to do is to makeup and stop this , " Ho paused , with a judicial air. "How did you know this ? " the woman asked. "Docs Mr. Grhwold make a con fidant of nn olllco-boy ? " SwiDosoy was all dignity thon. "You are mistaken there , llo never said a word to mo about it. I don't know very much about it , only I have put two and two together. I remember about six months ago , when lie bought the paper , that ono day some ono was In the ollico and asked him about you. Up all at oneo became very cool , and said , in an uneasy way , that you wo'ro in Californy for your health. And ono day I was cleaning up his desk , and I found a picture tlioro your picture. I put it back where I found it ; and ono night , when I had to como back to the office with some copy to leave for the compositors to begin on in the morning , I found him in the darlc at his desk , sitting there and crying , with the picture in his hand. Ho didn't Icnow I saw him , but I'did just the samo. And that's why I'm sorry for him ; I had never soon a man cry boforo. And when bo's cross and hard with us people about the office , I know ho ain't rcully that way , but that the paiil drives him to it , and ho Is trying to forgot about every thing , " The oflicc-boy told all this in a grave manner , and his quietness evidently im pressed itself on the woman in his favor , for she said nothing , and allowed him to go on. "Sometimes I would see in the otiior papers that 'Mrs. Griswold , wife of Ed itor Griswold of the Briggsvlllo Bugle , is in Santa Barbara for her health , ' nnd then you would bo In Tacoma and all sorts of places ; but h never spoke of you in his paper , and you never came hero. I have heard talk. too. of a quar rel you two had , and of course I have have surmised that something was wrong. I don't know what separated you , or why you loft him , or ho you , and it isn't any of my business ; but now you have como back to him , I hope you will stay with him. " The woman looked at Swipesoy's in telligent freckled face , and saw the brightness of his small gray oyos. She was impressed with his red hair and his snub noso. And she humored him ty asking : "Is that what you would advise mo to do ? " "Certainly , " answered the boy , with out hesitation. "That's what 1 would advise you to do. " "But suppose ho wants mo to como moro than half way ? Suppose , after all , ho doesn't want mo tp stay1' "That's all right. I'll fix that , I can manage it. He's boon waiting for you a long time , I guess , but he's too proud to toll you to como back to him. He's up-stai'rsnow writing a letter , and" hero Swipcsoy looked at her brightly "I think it is to you. Sometimes ho has started letters , which I have found in the wabto basket torn or partly burned , beginning , 'My dearest wife , ' but I don't think ho lias over sent them. However , that is none of my business. But today what do you think ho did. lie sent everybody homo in order to bo alone that ho may write. It was noth ing connected with the paper , I know , for the copy is all In. I think ho is writing to you up-stairs to como back , and ho doesn't know you nro hero al ready. " "If ho will only say ho is wrong and ask my forgiveness , ' the woman mut tered , looking out of the window at the pattering rain. Then she started up , seemingly unaware of the boy's presence. "But I musn't ask too much. [ was in the wrong as much as ho. " "Now I tell you what to do , " said Swipesoy , with eagerness. "If you put this Into my hands wn'll fix it up all right. " His eyes shone , and ho took a few stops foreward , with Ills small hands clasped together and his face raised hopefully toward the wbman. "You lot mo go up-stairs andbort of prepare him. I'll not say who wu'ifttt ' to see him. but I'll just glvo him a liiilt. And then you go up and surprise him' nnd if you look at him and smlto , and if you toll him you are sorry , I don't thDilc ho will send you away ; now , do you ? ' * The woman looked 'down at the lad , and smiled Badly at him. She could not help being amused iit'hla eagerness to help her and the lonely man up stairs. llo Doomed to divine what bho was thinking of , for ho sa fl ; "O , you mustn't think I am dipping my'finger into some thing that ain't my blwlnoss , for I should like to hoar him lau ras ho did a long time ago ; and bosideSj'U Is not right for two people to bo apart' ' tlio way you and " ' " him aro. Tlio woman laughed nervously. "I don't think you had better meddle , after all , " she said. "You may bo a very bright boy , but it might make him angry to think I had allowed " "I never sot up to bo bright , " said Swipesoy , In an injured tone. "If I was an entire strantror ho might not like it ; but being on the stall' , It's entirely dif ferent sce ? ' The woman laughed again , and then T. lags sweet to taato Provo in digestion sour. -Uichtml IL Carlsbad Sprudol Salt in not sweet to taste but best for digestion. Bo sure to obtain the genuine imported article only , which must have the signature of "Kis- nor& Mondolson Co , Solo Agents , Now York , " on overybottlo. ' asked , "Whnt do you propose to do ? " "Well , you sit right down in that chair again , and I'll run up stairs. I'll not bo gene but n mlnu o , and then I'll come back for you. ' ' Before she could say n word to stop him , ho had whisked out of the room , nnd she heard him going up the stairs two stops at a time. She sighed again and looked down and watched the people plo passing. Then Swipcsoy was back with a oor- dlal encouraging : "Como along1. I'vo fixml It , Ho'llseoyou. " And they wont up the stairs up inlo the ollico , which had become quito dark now and was but a cheerless place at best. Swipesoy throw onon tlio doorsaying , "Horo she Is , sir. " The "old man" was scribbling. Ho had laid nsldo the typewriter for the pen , and ho kept on for n moment. Tlion ho looked up in a bowlldorod way. throw down his pen , rubbed his oycs , sprang up , and with a bound was across the room. "Grace ! " was all ho said. And Swiposoy smiled in a sort of self- satisfied way , and closing the door , left them alone. And when ttio editor came down Blairs into tlio lower ollico a half hour later , with a shining , happy look In his eyes , ho found Swipcsoy sitting in the chair , with his feet high up on the desk and his hat tilted on the back of his head , burled deep In tlio folds of a newspaper. "Como upstairs with mo , Cox , " ho said , joyously. "I want to Introduce you to my wifo. I want everybody on the paper to know her , " "I suppose so , " said the boy , discon tentedly. But then ho added , in his impudent way : "You needn't intcrduco mo to her. She and me knows oash other already. " ItOMAM'10 ' MISS fjKITKIt. A American Hello Blropn In DcHilo- mona'H Clinmticr. Ina writes from Washington : "Ot Miss Loiter , whoso father lias a long lonso of the Blalno mansion , there is a llttlo story being told now that smacks of the romantic. When in Vcnico re cently the Chicago bontity was shown a palace within the walls of which the famous pillow scene is said to have boon enacted , and was shown a room where Dosdemoim slept on that fatal night when Othello took her lifo. No ono is allowed to occupy the loom , and few show any inclination to do so , for the story runs that at night , when the fatal hour comes , strange things ap pear to its occupants. The Moor , with jealousy , love and anger on ills swarthy face , hangs ever the couch , and for an other time repeats the evil deed for which his soul still must wander and know no rest. Miss Loiter became possessed with the desire to sloop in that room. Dcsdc- mona's couch was a temptation not to bo resisted , and the idea that none had used the room for years made her deter mined to sleep thoro. It took an im mense amount of talking , but the per suasive power that finally proved effec tive was the usual tonic American gold and a good round sum at that. Miss Letter's mother was not there , but a trusty companion accompanied hor. She , however , was not to bo per suaded to spend a night in that blood stained chamber , and with the conpan- ion in the next room , Miss Loiter finally settled herself on Desdomona's couch. For 11 time between the rooms there was laughter and joking. Then the Ameri can belle fell asleep on the silken couch , and not oven a dream of the hapless beauty came to disturb a long night's slumber. Constipation poisons the blood ; DoWitt's Little Early Hisors euro constipation. The cause removed , the disease Is gono. Afraid of tlio Ilaptista. Atlanta Constitution : "Undo" Jason is a colored preacher who , in his way , is as original as Sam Jones. Ho recently preached a sermon , in which ho said that during a trance ho was taken to heaven , and while there ho saw the Methodists tlio ijresbyterians anu tlio , Episcopalians "way olt to ono side. " "And whar wur do Baptists ? " asked a brother in the congregation. "Doy was right at the t'ronc , " said Uncle Jason. "How doy cum dar ? " "Well , do Lawd say do Baptis' am such onrollablo raskals ho had to keep 'em wha' ho kin git his hands on 'em ! ' ' The hand of time deals lightly with a woman in perfect health.
