The motor company illcd a motion for a
change of venue in three cases which are
now pcncllm ? In the district court against It.
The plaintiffs In the suits referred to nro
Mary White , Anna Xirschllng nnd I. N.
Wllklns , and each la an action for damages
There nro other suits of n similar nature
pending , and it is supposed that other
motions of n llko nature will bo llled , as It Is
evident that the company now takes It that
war is declared by the citizens. The motion
does not say what court It prefers to beef
brought hoforo , but leaves It to the decision
of .Tudgo Thornell , before whom the case wll
be argued probably thU week.
Suyn thn 1'uoplo Are rrojiidlccd.
The motion Is accompanied by a lengthy
nflldavlt from John N. Baldwin , one of the
attorneys for the company , and it alleges
that the citizens are so prejudiced against it
that it cannot expect to receive Justice nt
the hands of nny Jury that can bo selected.
'All the papers iu Council Bluffs , " It says ,
In Hiibstanco , "havo been filled with articles
written by different people in the city , as
well as editorials anil local items , nil of
which have been directed against the motor
company anil Its management. The papers
of Omaha , which have largo circulations in
Council Bluffs , are also llllod with these
articles , all of which are of the most
violent and Inflammatory nature In
their tone anil expression. Many of
these articles are anonymous. In
them the company and Its management are
charged with the grossest misconduct , the
terms fraud , robber , cheat , defraud , have
been used in speaking of the company , it has
been charged with trying to defeat the col
lection of taxes and using unlawful and im
proper Influence with the mayor nnd city
government. It has been charged with rob
bery , corruption and oppression. At present
the public Is wrought up to the greatest de
gree of excitement , and the matter is dis-
usscd everywhere on the streets anil in
mblic places. Almost every opprobrious
pithct that could bo thought of Iu the Eug-
ish language has been applied to the de-
emlant. "
The nflldavlt then goes on to name some of
, ho actions that are now pending acainst the
ompany In which the forfeiture of its
harter is demanded. It bears the signature
if John N. Baldwin. It is accomp-inled by
wo other aftldavlts , one of which is signed
) .v John T. Stewart and George F. Wright ,
he president and secretary of the company ,
vhich states that they believe the state-
iicnts to be truo.
Sympathize with the Company.
A Uiiril aflldavit Is also furnished , signed
iy a number of gentlemen , who say they are
iot connected with or interested in the
notor company , and that they also believe
ho statements to bo true. The gentlemen
who sign this are E. W. Hart , manager of

men , and that he nnd Christiansen wcro
buryinj the bodies when Cumberland hap

Edmund Randall , Who was all through
: ho war of the rebellion as a Pennsyl
vania volunteer ofllccr , tells an interest
ing story of how successfully a game of
jluff was played by the confederate Fit-A
Hugh Leo upon a regimental commander
from Philadelphia , now dead. The
southoiners ; were in sere straits , sur
rounded upon all sides , It seems , and un
able to find an avenue of escape , just
after the battle of Gettysburg. Within
their lines was an orderly who had been
raised at u fort surrounded by perpendic
ular cliffs near the Pennsylvania bor
der , lie told the rebel general that if
they could strike that particular pluco
there would be u fair cnanco of escape ,
providing there wore none of the enemy
near by. A rcconnoitering party re
turned with the report that the coast
was clear , but that the men would have
to pass through in single file. The con
federates prepared for the movement
and wore soon on the inarch. As they
i cached the ford they wore astonished
to bee on the eliUs above them a regi
ment of union soldiers with arms stacked
nnd bayonets glistening in the sunlight.
Leo was in a trap unless ho could re
sort to blutT. Reining in his horse he
summoned u corporal to bear a Hag of
truce to those above him. It read : "I
demand your surrender in fifteen min
utos. " Then taking out his watch lie
waited with hated breath after tlio re
turn of the truce bearer , fearing every
minute that the union forces would open
lire. Ten minutes went and then twelve ,
when suddenly the drums begun to boat
upon tlio clilTs and the northern men
marched a way. The rebels could scarcely
realize that they wore saved. In con
federate accounts of the war the state
ment ib made that not u man could have
escaped had the Philadelphia com
mander opened fire. In the report of
the latter particular mention is made of
tlio masterly retreat of the union regi
ment , whereby it escaped complete anni
hilation by the rebel army.

Ircluinl's Trno Nutlonnl Color.
Now York Sun : An interesting dis
cussion luis been going on in the Sun in
regard to Ireland's true national color.
This subject was very fully threshed out
in the Dublin newspapers about ton
years ago , and it was then conceded that
the national cold ? of Irolund was light
blue. Green us in Irish natioiuil color
seems to have come into vogue at the
United Irishineff movement toward the
close of the luslxiintury. It has been sug
gested with sonfo show of plausibility
that green wiis"aTrived ( at by the mixture
of orange and Ifiluo , thus typifying the
union between the united Irishmen
Presbyterians of th north and the Cath
olics of the south. The color of the
ribbDn of the Kiffghts of St. Patrick , an
order instltuteu"uboiit 1782 , is light blue.
All this , however , has nothing to do
with the place which Ireland has in the
union jack. ' A correspondent in the
Sun of today erroneously bays that the
blue in the union jack represents Ire
land's part in trro Hag. The original
Hag of England was tlio St. George's
cross , which wus white on a red ground.
To this was added at the union between
Scotland and England the sultiro known
us tlio cross of St. Andrew , which wus
white on a blue ground. As the St.
George's cross still kept its place
on the outbldo of tha united Hug , it
was agreed us u compensation to Be H-
luml that the ground of the first union
jack hhuuld ho blue. In 1800 , when the
cross of St. Patrick , which is a red
saltlro on a white ground , was added ,
very little change was apparently made
in the nppeuninco of the Hug. If tinted
who u o interested in the subject will
look iit properly mirJo union jack they
will see that the white and red htripcs
which run diagonally across the Hag are
of dilforent widths in ditforont parts of
the Hag. It would take too long to ux-
jiluln how the three crossea are blended
In the Union jack , but red and white
nro the only colors on it to which Ireland
can lay claim.

Aft 3r leaving Macon , in central
Georgia , by way of the "Suwaneo River
Route , " the traveler Boon enters the
level region In the southern part of the
state known as "Wire Grass Georgia. "
Hero the tall , long-leaf pines stand in
myriads , monopoll/.lng the land , except
whcro small lakes and streams encourage
other growth , and the wire-grass , long ,
trailing , billowy , is everywhere.
The geological formation of the coun
try , says a writer In the Now York Post ,
is much the sumo us that of northern
Florida a land reclaimed from the sea
in but a comparatively recent period'
Ono may almost hear an echo of that departed -
parted bea in the suggestive murmur
which sounds from the treetops us the
pine needles sway and Hush In the
breeze. This murmur is never hushed.
In the storm it is a lumrso roar , not un-
Hko ocean's own : In the harmless broe/o
It is the soft blending of a thousand
whispering voices ; in the stillness of a
calm it is still there us u mint , had moan.
The last days of November found two
convalescing invalids on the way to u
locally renowned resort on the Suwaneo
river , some thirty miles south of the
Georgia and Florida lino. Tlio ride wus
through ono inti'rminablo pine forest ,
which , however , is being fast thinned ;
the turpentine farmer's "blu/.o" may be
seen on almost every tree , and the saw
mill , with its burning slab-pit , is a fre
quent object in the landscape. King
Cotton has been dopot-ed hero.
White Springs the resort is not plo-
boianly now , whatever may bo wild of it
otherwise. A part of the rambling old
hotel dates ba.ck to the year 1820 , and
the giant sycamores and live oaks are
not tlio creatures of a few years. In the
swamps , the bcrub oak thickets , on the
live oaks , the sycamores , everywhere ,
the mournful "Spanish moss swings
in great gray drifts. The visitor
thinks that it is well enough
for the general funereal aspect of the
.place to bo enlivened by the voice of
youth. There is a largo and prosperous
school for so small a town , and its fume
appears to have extended oven as fur us
Cuba. Several brown and bright-eyed
little boys from that island wore said to
have learned to speak English in two
months.
Some 200 yards from the hotel , in n low
glen or ravine in Suwaneo's high banks ,
is the spring. The greenish water
gushes up turbulently into a basin of
about thirty to forty feet , emptying im
mediately into the river. Everything
it touches has a tinge of green ; the sul
phur is in the very air. * There ib much
and vehement certification of the water's
extraordinary healing virtues , taken
either externally within the precincts of
the primitive and uncomfortable bath
house , or as a beverage. Ono enthus
iastic native urged the drinking regu
larly of a gallon and a half u day when
well ami n double do&o when ill !
"But the chief object of interest nt
White Springs is the river made famous
by a pathetic little song. Beginning in
the very heart of that mystery , the ele
vated Okeefcnokco swuinp in southeast
ern Georgia , tlio river secures a south
western trend and , after devious wind
ings , enters the Gulf of Mexico in Flor
ida. It is never a great river. A school
boy can "skcct" u rock across it any
where. In many places he can wade it ,
and in some ho can almost leap it. 'In
some places it Hews between broad
savannahs , in others it winds through
the vustness of the swamp ; in others
still , us at White Springs , it Hews darkly
between precipitous banks. It has Its
shallows and its rapids , whore the dark
waters break .into a myriad facets. And
it hus its deep , cool recesbes , whcro the
lourf gray moss hangs thirty feet to
touch its mirror , and the inverted palm
etto gleams prettily up from its depths.
But everywhere it has picturcbquo-
ness and mystery , and there are the
charms of the Suwaneo. No man has
over seen its source. No man will ever
cleai1 its growth and leave it naked. A
hundred years from today the dark river
will How on under its overlapping trees
and the kingfisher hurl himself into its
pluoid Hood. " This description is a com
prehensive ono , though not without a
perceptible flavor of tlio enthusiastic
guide book whence it Is taken. It only
remains to bo udded that the waters of
the river appear to bo us red us wine in
the shallows and us black us ink in the
deeps u peculiarity of the streams in
this pine country.
There seemed a brooding melancholy
about the Suwunee and the mossdrupcd
village on its bunk at the facubon of the
fulling leaf. It followed one in the
lonely walks ; it haunted ono while
squirrel hunting in the scrub oak forest ;
it pursued ono even to the dining table ,
whore , however , there was doubtless
cause for melancholy tlio year round.
This region was visited in the last
, century by William Burtruin , the first
learned American botanist , who writes
glowingly of the orange tree , the live
oak and the Magnolia grandillora. In
his preface to the quaint old book , which
Is devoted to his travels in tlio south At-
luntic states and was printed in Phila
delphia in 1791 , the author speaks of
himself with something of a flourish us
the "son of John Burtruin , botanist to
the king of Great Britain und follow of
the Royul society. " There is un inter
esting mention in the work of the great
morass in southeastern Georgia , from
which tlio mournful Suwaneo draws its
life , und which is not u great distance
from White Springs. "A vast drowned
swiimp , " says Burtruin , "a mother of
rivers called by the Indians Onaqva-
phenoguu. " This Ouuqvaphonoguu , the
Ecnnllnocau of White's "Statistics of
Georgia" ( published some fifty years
later ) , und the present Okeefenokeo
"trembling earth" are evidently but
varyinir transcriptions of ono Indian
name.
The botunist refers to several Indian
legends connected with the Okeefenokeo ,
ono of them picturing tlio remote in
terior of the swamp us > a high and dry
land , and one of the most blissful spots
of earth , where dwelt bountiful women
called daughters of the sun. Some war
riors of the Creek nation , lost In the In-
torminublo bogs und jungloj , und con
fronted with sturvation und despair ,
wore rescued by these radiant creatures ,
and ore they were bent on their way
wore fed with dates , oranges and cjrn-
cako. Would wo could substitute am
brosia for the last , which upoils the pic-
turo. Corn-cuke is good und useful in
its own way ; so also is the potato ; but
something a little lossj commonplace
would seem more fitting in the realm of
legend. There are other legends ,
equally in keeping with tlio loneliness
and mystery of tlio great Okeefonokco
und its child , the Suwaneo.
The two invalids started olT on the
becond morning for a bout ride on the
river. A young negro hud been engaged
to do the rowing , but when the water's
edge was reached his clumsiness excited
fctinpiclon , and ho was ordered to row
across the stream alone in order to dls-
plivy his talents. His talents were not
of the first order , for ho wus boon help-
lejjly drifting down stream. A sugges
tion to abandon the plan was made , but
the determination of the Hojournors to
bsut on the Suwuneo wus fixed und un
alterable. The borvlces of a partly cdu
catcd mulatto were finally secured.
ThU ono was evidently desirous to show

A Sonsitorl il Simku .Story.
Stephen M. White of Los Angeles ,
who has j'ust boon elected United States
senator from California , is u native son
of the golden wcht and of oourno knows
and tolls numberless good storiuH of
pioneer life. Ono of the most remark
able of the.-o is a snake story , which sur
passes most of its kind.
"It was in the early days of Arizona , "
says Senator Whito. "A great python or
bou ravaged the land , killing many cat
tle and occasionally taking off an inhab
itant. It was noticed that the surviving
animals were wounded with a great
puncture larger thnn the puncture thnt
fangs would make.
"One day as a man , who may or may
not have been myself , was wandering
along n wooded river bank ho sa\v tlio
enormous reptile nnd immediately tuok
to his heels. The s > naki > , which was nt
least thirty foot lung , pursued. Justus
the frightened man dodged behind n tree
the snake coiled nnd sti'uck , not with the
head , but with the tail. On the tail was
a horny point , much like the point of n
stingray'H tail , but very much larger and
heavily barbed. It was this which had
caused tlio wounds in the cattle.
"Woll , as [ said , the snaito struck just
as the man got behind the tree. The
tail point entered the tree and penetrated
bo far that it could not bo with
drawn. The snake wriggled and
twisted , but it was of no avail.
Tlio man made his escape and
did not return to the place until the next
year. Then ho found at the foot of that
tree the monster nkoloton of the snake ,
the barbed tail still remaining in the
trunk , where , for all I know , it remains
to this day. "
