In splto of the dntnatre done by the heavy rain of Saturday night in filling up cellars anil otherwise rendering llfo miserable for property owners in various parts of the city , the storm was not an ummved ovll. Evi dences of the good It bad done wcro visible on over.v hand yesterday. The paved strcots for the most part wcro as clean as a floor , nn amount of work being done that could not , or nt least would not , have ocen done by the strcot supervisor's gang nnd the chain gang in a whole summer. Large heaps of debris wcro piled up neatly In low places along the streets , anil It will bo a comparatively small Job for the chain gang to gather up the heaps nnd cart them out of the way. Ever since spring , showed signs'of coming on Indian crook has been an eyesore nnJ a nosd sere to the pco- plo living all along its banks anil for a blocker or so on elthnr sldo. Kveryono hail baoii in the habit of dumping rcfuso Into the stream , anil as there was not sufllclcnt current to carry the stuff off , tbo result was a condition of things which would have made an angel weep. Saturday night the water in the crcok raised at least six feet , as was shown by the marks alone the tianlta yesterday. Six hours of bombarding by the water was too much to bo resisted , anil yesterday for the first thna In many months Indian creek took on the apucaranco of a modest , self- respecting stream. The condition In which the stream was before was such ns to cause many to begin again to think of some way of keeping In dian creek from bchi the nulsanco it has always shown Itself since Council Bluffs came along to disturb Its tranquility , The plan of building a brick aqueduct 'for It has been talked of in the past , but has never been adopted on account bf the expense. As long as the crcok is left open , It will bo the catch-basin for all sorts of disease breeding refuse , and it is evident that sooner or later the present way of dealing with it will huvo to be abandoned , expense or no expense. The cedar block paving nt the corner of Willow avcnuo and Fourth street was torn up Saturday night for a space of about ten or fifteen fcot square anil the blocks wcro deposited in the adjacent , streets by the Hood. The p.iving at the Junction of Willow avcnuo anil Uluff street was not torn loose , hut the ground underneath was so moistened and softened that portions of the paving sunk bulow thu rest six or clprht inchc ? , ren dering the street so uneven as to be abso lutely dangerous. The entire Intersection will undoubtedly have to bo ropaved at the expense of tlio city. HUSTON STOUI3 10-Ilny .1 mio S lo Now Open.

Ills latest capture was : horse belonging to a herder In the western part of the city , and his zeal in getting in habitants for the city pound scums llitolj to give him some trouble unless something is done toward patching up the diniculty. Saturday Frank PInnoy , n son of Dr. C. H Pinney , was playing near the comer o Pearl street and Fifth avcnuo , wh n a straj horse came along. Ho Jumped up , and , a : the horse did not seem to have any friend : nthand , Jumped on his back and was golni to take a rldo. liut Mlddlcton's musslvo oyi had been at work nnd ho lost no time ii milking young PInnoy got oft and turn thi horse over to his dog-catehcrshlp. Tin horse was landed In the pound , whither h < was soon followed by the owner. The pouni master refused to glvo the horse up at th' ' request of the owner , who claimed to havi simply left the animal standing on the strce unhitched for an instant. Yesterday morn ing Middlcton'a name was written on thobli book nt the police station , and opposite i was written the word "larceny.

A Modern Young Mnn nnd a Frowning 1'npn. Ho was a mild young fellow , nnd , as his sweetheart imagined , without much force of character , as ho kept putting off the "ask papa" day indefinitely. So the young woman prompted him to bo sure ho was right and go ahead. "You see , papa has a great deal of bluff and bluster , but when you como right down to It ho is perfectly safe. Only you must show him that you have lots of pluck real grit , that's what ho likes. " "All right ; suppose you ask him to step in now. I may us well got my bund in , if tlmt Is the way it works. " "But , dearest , ho is awful , big and strong , you know. " "Oil , if it comes to personal violence , I will defend myself with the furniture. Trot him in. " "And yon won't let him bluff you ? " "Notabluill11 "Thou I'll ' toll him you want to see him. " There wore two chances of escape for the young man , says the Del roll Free Press , one by way of tlio door , the other by the window , but ho did not avail him self of oithor. When tlio father strode into the room with his best knock-down- nnd-drug-out nir , the youth rose indif ferently to meet him. "Won , well , what's all this about ? I understand you want to see me. Well , look at mo now , nnd bo quick about it , " growled the pater. "H'm. Can't say as you're much to look at , Mr. . I merely wished to mention to you that Miss Clara has en gaged herself to mo with my consent , and I propose to 1111 my part of the con tract to the letter. " "Idiot ! Idiot !

As boon as my wife that is to bo can conveniently pack up her belongings , wo will go. " "Why , you impudent " "Oh , keep cool , keep cool ! I could hold you out of the window with ono hand and call for the police with the other. I was champion hitter and slugger nt col- leiro. Look at that muscle , " and ho clenched a No. 7 hand into a really formidable list. " 1 never was so " "Nor I. Call it quits. I want your daughter , and I don't care u continental for your money or your blessing. Wo cun begin the world without either , just us other young fools have dono. This is business , sir , business. " The father felt of his own head to sen if ho was going to have an apoplectic lit , then answered grimly : 'All right ; I like your stylo. I should have said yes , anyway , if you had given mo time , but you took mo by surprise. I may say I was never so surprised in my "Nor I , " assented the lover , as ho sunk almost fainting into a chair , "but I'm a hustler , and don't , you forgot it. I don't stand any foolishness , cither in love or war , " and ho wiped the cold perspiration off his forehead with a nervy hanu.

Nobody knows whither ho has gene , but after awhile Swindler No. 2 , his swell friend , comes 'round to look up the accounts and tell people they are really worthless , but ho will pay them o Uttlo if they will gut it into a Judgment , Of course a good many do it rather than go tc luwing about it , for although No , 1 is the owner of several farms , his swell iriond No. 2 has It amalgamated so that if anybody wants to maku his claim good ho would have to buy half the county. Now comes the best part of it. After all the money is mudo tlmt could bo made , No. 1 appears ugaln upon the sec no nnd calculates to have his share of the spoils , but No. 'J calculates to reap all the bcncllt himself , and No. 1 has to pay every cent ho owed besides cost and interest , which of coin-so is right , but the poet creditors had. bolter bo careful another time , JHovmnenU nf Ocnuii Stn.uutir * Juno 4.

Mrs. Williams lives at Twenty-eighth nnd II streets and keeps a few boarders. Reports have reached tlio police on Bovcral occasions that her house was conducted a little on the easy order , hut she was never arrested. When the officers entered the house they found James Lynch and W. Mor ris there , and they were also taken into custody. Johnson says both the mother and daughter are bad. Mrs. Williams was Interviewed by n BEB reporter and denied that her daughter had over entertained the company of vicious men. That she was pure and virtuous und worked every day for an Omaha firm. She says that Johnson came to her house with ono of the boarders and another man whom she had never met. The stranger seemed to have plenty of money , nud Johnson said ho was going to "roll" him. She told him not to do so , at least while lu her houso. Johnson says the "giowlor" was rushed sovernl times nnd everybody got pretty well filled up. But that about ti o'clock ho was fired out , and it made him hot. That wns why ho had the house pulled. If Johnson's statements can bo bo ver ified the carryings on in the Williams house hold nro unsunlly bad , and an effort will bo made to have the child sent to the reform school or some other plnco where she can bo properly raised.

Mud shoes for horses are common In certain parts of Washington stutu , being used on horses in plowing tlio low and wet lands of the valley north of Suinnor nearly every spring. The mud shoo consists of u heavy board about eight Inches wide and from eight to ton inches long , rounding in front. On this board a rcdhot shoe of thu bi/.o worn on the horse's foot for ' \VHloh it is intended if placed until it , blfj'iis into it to a depth almost BUlllcient to bury Hsolf.

Ire I. one. The Thirteen club was organized on January 13 , 1882 , with thirteen orlplnal members , says the Now York Sun. They have dined together regularly over since at thirteen minutes after 8 on the 13th day of the month with thirteen at n table. Of the original members only four have died , two of them within the past year. This Is a record for longevity which the members of few dining clubs can show. The total membership at the close of the year was 1,144 , , and the total number of deaths twelve. Of those twclvo six , or just half , had never at tended a dinner , and so had not violated the thirteen superstition. Tills , too , makes It seem that the members of the club who nttonded the dinners and sat thirteen at a table on the 13th day of the month have bettor prospects for long llfo than the members who stay away from the dinners. In order to strengthen Its defiance of the thirteen superstition the Thirteen club has increased its number of ollleors until It now has thirteen. It would also try to dlno on the 13th of the month and on Friday , but the 13th nnd a Friday do not always coincide. It has done the best it could , though , by fixing the initiation fee at $1.13 and the dues at 13 cents a month. GeorgO Francis Train , ono of the most nctlvo members of the Thirteen club , and Its unolllclal poet , Is also opposed to the Friday superstition. The Thirteen club are with him hero , for their his torian lias compiled a record of the events that have happened on Fridays , including a great deal of old Anglo- Saxon lore. The first of the facts about Friday in American history is that Co- 1 lumbus sailed from Pales on a Friday ; ho discovered America on a Friday , and ho arrived buck in Spain on another Fri day. George Francis Train has boiled down a number of these Friday happen ings in this paragraph : "Washington born , Queen Victoria married , Napoleon Bonaparte born , battle - tlo Bunker Hill fought , America dis covered , Mayflower landed , Joan of Arc buvncd at stake , battle Waterloo fought , Bastilo destroyed , Declaration of Inde pendence signed , battle Mnrcngo fought , Julius Ciusar assassinated , Moscow burned , Shakespeare born , King Charles I. beheaded , battle Now Orleans fought , Lincoln assassinated. " Mr. Theodore W. Davis , the historian of the club , writes that in Constantinople ple and in Spain Tuesday was considered an unlucky day. A Spanish rhyme trans lated reads : On Tuesday neither wed , nor go aboard ship , nor leave thy wife , There is an old English superstition that Adam and Eve ate the forbidden fruit in the Garden of Eden on Friday ; hence the day has been unlucky ever since. In Franco it was thought unlucky to cut your nails on Friday , but in Hol land there was a superstition that out- ting the nulls on Friday would euro a toothache. In England hardly 2 pot- cent of the marriages are celebrated on n Friday. The Chicago records show tlmt 4 } per cent of the Chicago cage weddings are on Friday. In Scot land there is the contrary superstition about weddings that Friday is the best day to bo married on. In Glasgow niuo- tenths of the marriages are celebrated on Friday and none on Sunday , while very few take place on Saturday and Monday. It shows how confident the members of the Thirteen club are of long life , that at the ono hundredth dinner of the Thirteen club last January two centen nial Thirtoons , one headed by Hon. John H. V. Arnold and the father by Dr. Gcorgo XV. Boskowitz , sealed and stored thirteen bottles of wine , which are to bo opened und drank at the two hun dredth dinner of the Thirteen club , which it is figured out will take place in about thirteen years. MISSOURI'S RICH BOTTOM. Millions of Dullaru und .Mucli Whisky Lust i Jii Ittvor Wrecks. There are millions of dollars in the bottom of the Missouri , or somewhere near it , but the trouble is to Und it. Some of it may bo found some time , but that some time is very apt to bo when present generations have passed away and the wrecks and contents of the steamboats exist only in tradition. Ex ploring companies have been formed in the past , a number of them , but they have all boon without reward , none of them over having found oven n trace of the prizes sought , says the Globe-Demo crat. Other companies are now talked of , and a number of St. Louisans stand ready to gamble a stake with any ono who takes the lead in organizing. The whisky buried in the sand and bars , if it is ever rccavorodj will pro- auco a period of the rarest intoxication to the tablcspoonful. There could bo no bettor process of curing It than by bury ing it in the damp sand of the river bed or bars. Then , too , the whisky of these days was real whisky , and had ago and body nt the time it was lost , and if it was on bale now it would have a market all its own , and it wouldn't bo at UOconta or 25 cents a drink , oithor. The chances would be , rather , that it would go into private collars to bo handed out only on rare occasion The oldest wreck of which there is now any knowledge , and it is ns nearly traditional us anything could bo , is of a Spanish boat that was sunk ut the month of the river Dos Porca in South St. Louis. The year in which it wont down , the chat-actor of the boat , the natura ol the cargo , all is tradition. But it is said among the oldest of the old rivet1 men that a boat did go down there "in the early years" and that it was laden with rich Spanish goods and arms und gold of immense value. The oxiict spol at which she sunk is not known. "In the early years , " also , it is said thai ollorts wore made to locate the wreck , but without success. It is also said , by the way , that the Spanish vessel hud on board a goodly stock of liquors. Tko oldest wreck of which there is any record or knowledge , with people now living , is that of a government stcuinboat which bunk away back in the early IIO'u at Arrow Rock Island , ncai Boonovillo , It wa on ltd way up the river to pay oil the soldiers , and had on board u largo amount of gold nnd t con&idorublo quantity of whisky. Whci it went down it was to stay. Effort ! wore mudo at the time to recover a per tlou of the cargo , but the condition o c ho river was auch that this wus impos Bible , It hits boon u fascinuting hidden trcusuro for the people of Boonovillo Highest of all in Leavening Power.

The Arabia is Still another steamship which went down and was broken tip , wltti a considerable amount of gold and several hundred barrels of whisky on boardi The Arabia went down In 1851 below Parkvlllo. She was a flno side- wheel boat and her loss was a consider able one. Efforts wore made to save her cargo , but it was practically a complete loss. There have been n number of searching parties who wore llllcd with the Idea.of locating and digging up the treasure , but , so far as known , tncyhavo never had any trace of It. As in the case of the government boat , there is a story that some of the plunder was recovered , but In this case It was of the whisky instead of the gold. The pluco where the Arabia wont down Is now solid ground , grown over with tim ber and grass , some of the timber being two and three feet through. That is , this is the condition o ( the place pointed out as the Arabia's grave , though there is no such thing as n chart to show it conclusively. World' * Vulr Hotel Acronnnoilntlonn.

Youth's Companion : Although it is a , familiar saying that an Irishman ? Is always spoiling for a light , still there .is one kind of fighting to which oven the bravo sons of Erin are sometimes averse that is dueling. A story well illus trating this fact has recently como to 113. A certain Irishman , having been challenged to fight a duel , accepted the conditions after much persuasion on the part of his friends * who felt confident of iiis success. His antagonist , a lame man , walked on crutches. When the place for the shooting had been reached , the lame man's seconds asked that ho bo allowed to lean against a milestone which happened to be thoro. The privilege was allowed and the lame " mm "took his stand. The Irishman and his seconds drew off to the distance agreed upon 100 feet. Hero Put's courage suddenly failed him and ho shouted to the lame man : "I've a small favor to ask of yo , ser ! " "What is it ? " asked the cripple. Pat answered , "I tould yo thot yo might lean agin the mile post and now I would like the privilege of leaning agin the nixt one. " The laughter which followed spoiled everybody's dobiro for a light an'd the whole party went homo without a shot having been fired. Cousin Tlmt 11 1'rolltiiblc. In China there is a profession for la dies , strange , because openly and hand somely remunerated in the current coin of the realm. It is carried on by elderly ladies , who go from house to house of rich people , announcing their coining by beating a drum and offering their serv ices to amuse the lady of the hoiibo. This offer accepted , they sit down and toll the latest ecandal and the newest stories and on dits and are rewarded at the rate of half a crown an hour , besides a handsome present should some portion of their gossip have proved particularly accept able. PRIME IN HIGH PLACES i it is * - * not strange that some people do wrong through ignorance , others from a failure to investigate as to the right or wrong of a matter. But it is strange , that individuals and firms , who are fully aware of the rights of others , will per sist in perpetrating frauds upon them. High-toned , wealthy manufrcturing firms will offer and soil to retail mer chants , articles which they know to bo infringements on the rights of proprie tors , and imitations of well known goods. Wo want to sound a note of warning to the retailers to beware of such imita tions nud simulations of "CARTER'S LIT TLE LIVKII PILLS. " When they are of fered to you , refuse them ; you do not want to do wrong , and you don't want to lay yourself liable to a lawsuit.
