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. The
nurglar liiaao no effort to conceal bis face
during his visit with his host and the latttr
had n good cbanco to observe him carefully ,
sn that if ho turns up In the future ho will bo
recognized. _

Kxporicncos of u YOUIIK Widow In. a
Lioaii Urokcr'H Ollloo.
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.
( Jortalnly sir , 1 want you to promlso you
will always ki-op Hullor's Sure Guro Cough
Syrup and Hullor's German Pills for the

All right you hava my blessing.

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

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

obtain the genuine imported article only ,
which must have the signature of "Kis-

' 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

The hand of time
deals lightly with a woman in
perfect health. But all func
tional derangements and dis
orders peculiar , to women
leave their mark. You needn't
have them. Dr. Pierce's Fa
vorite Prescription comes to
your rescue as no other medi
cine can. It cures them. For
periodical pains , prolapsus and
other displacements , bearing-
down sensations , and all " fe
male complaints " and weak
nesses , it is a positive remedy.
It is a powerful , restorative
tonic and nervine , imparting
strength to the whole system
in general , and to the uterine
organs and appendages in par
ticular. It keeps years from
your face and figure but adds
years to your life. It's guar
anteed to give satisfaction in
every case. If it doesn't ,
your money is returned.
