NEWS FROM COUNCIL BLUFFS Entertainment of the Young Men's Christian Association Yesterday , PRIZE WINNERS IN THE VARIOUS EVENTS Athlete ) Mnko Oooil ItccunU In the Mnnjr Contojtn of the Day Much In terest Tnkon In the SpnrU of the The Young Men's Christian association provided nn entertainment yesterday after noon for the pcoplo on holiday enjoyment bent. The entertainment was in the form of n Hold dajynmt although the patronage was hardly up to the expectation of the com mittee that hud the matter In hand , there was a very good attendance and a handsome sum wn icnllzod , which will go toward pay- Ins up the back salary of General Secretary Koso. For the past two weeks the arrangements had boon In progress and the young athletes had been in constant training , so that the program was an attractive ono nnd some of the records wcro very pood. The audience wan an appreciative ono , iCnd any especially brilliant piny on the part of the contestants wns greeted with enthusiastic opplauso. Dalbcy's band discoursed excellent music all during the afternoon. K. 13. Hurt , I. M. Trcynor and T. C. Dawson - son acted as judges ; br. V. Li. Troynor as roforco , D. Fred Grass as starter , Will J. Wallace as cleric of the course , nnd Fred Johnson as time keeper. Jj. C. Dale's lungs wcro brought Into piny In making the an nouncements until his physician ordered him to got a substitute or lese his voice. " No lnck or Interest. There were several entries in each contest , nnd the interest was kept at a high pitch throughout. In only ono was thcro n luck of entries , Miss Ethel "Watson being the only ono to enter the ladies' half-mile safety race. The only decision of the judges to bo received with signs of dis approbation from the audience was the polo vault , and the dissatisfaction in that cnso was probably duo to a misunderstanding of the facts rather than any injustice on the part of the judges. M. P. Kao and Fied Grass had run the record up to something over ten fcot , when llao failed thrco times in succession to clear It. Without announc ing that Grass was the winner the Judges al lowed Kao to make another trial with the rod four Inches higher than before , nnd ho made what wns decidedly the best , jump of the Afternoon , clearing It in a manner that called forth loud applause. The decision of the Judges in the fuca of this brilliant ploco ofvork did not suit the audience , and it took no pains to conceal the fact. Hue's fail ure to make the lower Jump , however , of course gave Grass the prize. The following is the result in each contest : KceutK of the Contort.

In tl : peed old days of geese quills , loose ear for blotting and line scaling wax for ai liosivo purpobes , delicacy and doxteril in putting the wax in the right plat without burning one's fingers was nceesbary part of a liberal educutio Nowadays the art has id most passed ot of remembrance. Hero is the oorrei method of sealing u letter : When tl letter is ready lay the seal on the tab ! V fttyour rlpht hnnil , nnd in such n posi tion that when used the impression may ho sqnnro nml right side up. Then hold the wax nbovo the flnmo ol the gas or candle , but not near enough to burn. When the wax has been gradually softened apply it with a circu lar movement , upon the place to bo scaled ; rub it well around and down un til you have n circle of proper slzo nnd thickness. The wax , still soft , has cooled sufficiently to take a clear im pression. Hold the envelope n little dis tance from the ilamo until Iho wax has again bccomo soft , then moisten the seal nnd apply it. The result will bo n clear cut impression. There will he no ad hesion of wax to seal , no breakage nnd no irregular wax strings hanging about the paper. The letter cannot bo opened without destruction of the seal itself , which , in old conventional style , wilt borvq a * n remembrance of the sender nnd of the hccurity of the contents of the letter. THE CHAMPION MOIOB. And Also the Chiimplun Story of the Winter Clrl , Ltwt winter , during a visit paid n Florida plantation , u novel and effective method of catching alligators came under my notice , says a wr-iter in the Now York Tribune. There were half a dozen young pcoplo in the honso at which I was staying , and , wearying of commonplace comfort , they decided to camp out for tv few days. A pleasant piece of woodland was chosen and pre parations began at once. The camp was near the plantation , but was separated from it by a creek , one of the innumer able tributaries of the St. John river. At least twice a day some of the young people went over to the camp In nn awkward but roomy old flat bottomed boat , carrying various articles which they supposed Would bo useful. Tlio day before our outdoor life was to begin the old boat made a great many trips. On ono occasion there were four of us going over and wo were burdened with tools , hammer and nails , ropes , canned meats , etc. As wo were Hearing the op posite shore n young woman in the party ospicd some beautiful wild flowers. There was a submerged log directly in front of the bank where they grow , but as our boat was strong , nnd she said that she would bo broken-hearted unless slip could have them we rowed directly ever the log and ouo of us leaned ever to pick the blossoms. Suddenly our boat began to move in a most extraordinary manner , croing neither forward nor backward , but straight up. "Alligator ! " shrieked someone , and wo instantly realized that the supposed log wo had seen was in reality n living saurian. Tnreo of us were almost paralyzed witli fear , but the fourth and brightest of our party was equal to the emergency. In far less time than it takes to toll it ho had snatched the hammer and nails and was using the first article to drive the second end through the bottom of the boat , "You'll have to help ; wo must bo quick t Take oiT your shoos and Ube the heels as hammers ! " ho cried , and realizing the necessity of blind obedience , we began driving nails too. His intention dawned upon us by the time it had become a fin ished action , and wo complimented him on his idea of pinning the alligator to the boat with nails. But our prisoner was not pleased and began thrashing the water violently. Again our clever friend came to the rescue. "Does either of yon girls wear black stockings1 ' said ho. Ono of us did. "Then sit up in the end of the boat nnd dangle your feet in the water. No , don't put your bhoes on ! Now swing your feet to the right ! " Tlio young woman followed his directions and , won derful to relate , the boat slowly moved to 'tho right. Oars were useless ; the alligator bore us home on his back nnd wo showed our gratitude by putting him out of his misery as soon as wo could. "But how did you know ho'd carry the boat , and why did ho go whorelbteered ? And , above all , why wcro black stock ings necessary ? " "Havo you ever heard of tioing a car rot to the end of u whip and dangling it in front of a balky horse to muko him go ? My idea was based on that. You swung your foot in the water , and seeing the black hosiery , the 'gator' fancied you were his favorite article of diet a nico. plump little darkey. Ho followed where you led ; the nails prevented his reaching you , though his hide was so tough they hurt him but little , and cer tainly didn't interfere with his powers of locomotion , as wo'vo been. " THE GROWING COKE INDUSTRY. It Has Glvan nn Knorinons Inipulno to the I'roilurtloii oT i'lif Iron. The output of nipr iron from the blasl furnaces in the United States luis in creased to a surprisiiiK extent Hinno 1880 , Tlio En incoring Mngiulne publishes ar avticlo on the coke indtiHtry by Mr. Wil liam Glydo Wilklns , a Pittsburp en- ginuor , who says that whllo the influ ence of improved forms of furnaces , hoi blast stoves and blowing engines is to be considered , it is undoubtedly ti-uo that a very lai-tfo bharp of the increase is due to the substitution of coke for coal as fuel. In 187u Mr. John Fulton , in a report port of the Pennsylvania state geologi cal survey , wrote : "It is also manifcsl that eoko is destined to become the lead ing fuel for blast furnace- * , and to re tain this position from iU almost inex haustible soiu-jily , co of sup its calorll'u intensity , and itb continued economy. ' The results in prosou blast-furnnci practice have more than justlllcd lili propho . Previous to tlio year las named the amount of unthraclto coa to produce one ton of pig-iron wai 1.85 tons. Now , in the Pittsbtirg ' dls trict , where there are twonty-throi blast furnaces , the yield of pig-iron I ono ton to ono ton of coke , while furnaci l'P" at tins Edgar Thonibon steel work lias used as low as 1,845 pounds of coki to produce ono ton of iron. Stimulate ! by the demands of tlio furnace men , tin manufacture of coke in the Unitei States has increased to a vory' largo ax tent. In 1801 the coke industry was ir progress in no loss than twenty ntatca requiring -10,245 ovens. The output n coke for that year , according to tin United States census , was 10,115:2,083 : ton The manufacture of coke on a larg scale in the United States was lira started in the Gonnollsvillo region , 1 Pennsylvania , and this state still hold the lead in the number of ovens and o * tent of output. It is conceded by blasl furmico operators that the Connollsvill product gives better results than an other coke made hi the United States and it is shipped to all parts of th country to winch freight rates are nc BO high as to prohibit its ute. The Coi nollBvillo practice has become thobtaiu is. ard Doth for method of construction < plants and manner of operation , an hardly a day pusbes that persons intei ebted in the manufaoturo of coke i other parts of the union do not visit th region for purpobes of investigation. iy The Coiinellsvillo coke region tak < 10 its name from the town of Connullsvill 1(1 ( near which the manufacture of uoko wi d- begun. A history of the region woul dty ty bo practically a history of the II. ( tyIV Prick Coke company , who own and coi IVn. trol lOUJof ) , ( the 17,315 ovens in the basil n. or considerably more than half tl tit entire number. The llret coke made I ct this region wab made in 1841 by McCo ID mick , Campbell & Taylor , in two oven built neur the mouth of Illckint run. TLcac two ovorw were butlt from n description given Ihom by an English man of th'j ovens In WUrhnm , Eng.

However , James , CqeJiran and others saw nn opportunity Ln the business and lca cd the plant.\inl ( In 1812 they Bold in Cincinnati 13,000 bushels at 7 cents. James Cochrancontinued in the busi ness and is today part owner in tlfrco plants of 750 ovons. Prom this small beginning has grown a business that in 1891 amounted to an output of nearly 5,000,000 , , tons , of nearly one-half the product of the UliHcd States , giving direct employmont'"to nbjut 18,00J men. . _ THE WIDOWS MEEI. Mr . U. S. nrnnt iitul Alri. JttlTorson Davis ( Iri-t-t Kncli Other ConlUlly. Twcnty-nlno years after the close of the civil war the widows of two of the principal figures in the great struggle mot for the llrst time in their lives , in friendly intercourse. Mrs. U. S. Grant , the widow of the soldier who was fore most among the union loaders in bring ing to a close the civil strife , made the acquaintance of Mrs. JolTcrson Davis , relict of the leader of the southern con federacy , on Sunday last. Mrs. .Toller- eon Davis had been stopping at the Marlborongh hotel in New York City for some timo. At her southern homo , Bcnuvoir , Miss. , Mrs. D.ivis had rccjivod as a guest Mr. Henry Cranston , pro prietor of the hotel at West Point ; and \vhcn Mrs. Davis came north a short time ago she received an invitation from Mr. Cranston to stop at West Point dur ing the hot summer months , nn invita tion which she accepted. The mooting of the ladles took place at Cranston , the famous hostelry at West Point where so many celebrated men have stopped. It was at West Point where bjth of the great leaders on either side received the education which fitted them almost wholly for the part each played in the civil conllict. For many years Mrs. Grant has spout her summers at Cranston. Mrs. Grant , who had been informed of the expected ar rival of Mrs. Davis , was at this time dressing. She finished as Mrs. Davis stopped from the carriage , and began to walk down to the public narlor as Mrs. Davis entered the elevator. When Mrs. Grant reached the parlor she was told that Mrs. Davis had gene to her rooms. "O , I am so sorry , " bald Mrs. Grant. "I had hoped to meet her hero. " Mrs. Grant then walked upstairs to the first lloor , went to Mrs. Davis' room , and softly rapped upon the door. Mis. Davis herself came to the door and opened it. "I am Mrs. Grant , " announced the widow of the famous union general , "and I have called because I wanted to toll yon that I waited to meet you in the parlor , and I am very sorry I failed to greet you there. " ' 'I am very glad to meet you , " re sponded Mrs. Davis. "I wish to say it was very kind ofyou' to call upon mo. I fully appreciate , ylhir kindness and thank you for youivcourtosy. " "I hope your Btaj'tivt Cranston's will bo very pleasant , " "responded Mrs. Grant , "and 1 hope \\o shall see each other fre quently. " J' v "It is very kind Of you to say so , " re plied Mrs. D.ivisj"fatid I again thank yon heartily. " ' Thereupon Mrsn Q ant withdrew to her own apartments , t - f - - PEANUTS BY THE MILLION. ' i ri - An Unusually Largo' ' ' 'Crop ' of a Valuable Plant. The "goober" industry of Norfolk is unique.Hero is a little city in Virginia that has become the greatest distribut ing center of peanuts in the world. A peanut is a pretty small-item , but an an nual crop of something "like 5,000,000 , bushels , worth millions of dollars , makes a pretty big item. The demand for goobers has doubled within the Ia3t five years and the supply does not yet fill the growing demand. Pew people know the curious uses to which the goober has been put in trade quite of late years. No other single plant raised in thia country i * used in BO many different ways. The Chinese say that the cocoanut - nut palm has as many useful properties as there are days in the year. The goober is not so universal as that , but it has as many valuable qualities as there are days in the week , says the New Yorls Independent. The solid part of the mil is peculiarly nutritive , and supplies fruit and food for many a family. The vines make fine fodder , some say as good as clover hay , while hoga fatten or what is loft in the fields after the has been gathered , If yon grind the nut you got a sweel quality of flour , with which the house wife makes delicious biscuit. If yoi squeo/.o it you obtain a valuable oil , re sembling olive oil and used for similai purposes. This oil albo enters largely into the manufacture of the bettor grade of boaps. The kernels are roasted foi coftee. The roasted kernels are nlsc used in the manufacture of some kind ; of chocolate. The confectioner helps t < ruin our digestion in boyhood dayu witl peanut candy ; the Georgia cook aloni Knows how to make rich pastry o pounded peanuts. The artist , will paint brush , silks and satins , create novel and beautiful peanut ornu monts ; so that peanut dolls and othei curios may now bo been in the shop windows dews , especially around the holidays These are some of the ways In which th leguminous nut is useful to us. Tin goober is grown more or loss in all tin southern states. The bulk of our BUJI ply comes from Virginia , North Carotin : and'Georgln. Dawn south those edibl nuts are called "goobers" or "plndors. They are not known as peanuts. No\ \ that the demand is incroaHing and goo prices nro obtained , more growers ar going into the business every year. Fo\ \ crops are easier to raise than th goober. It is a hardy , prolific plnnl and requires no more care and uttontio than a crop of potatoes' * PARLOR JQAft NABOBS. Triuellnc In LuxutluittlCurg Tenili to Sol Imppftaueo.

The volntlons of these two men are never the same again. The sense of equality has been lost , and the parlor car man regards the other for ever afterward as a lower class clti/.on. It's the most pronounced case of the caste feeling. Parlor cars divide the people into nobility and ploblans just as much as titles of nobility in the minds of the occupants of the parlor cars.

The fresh ar rivals were pretty , but their style was hard faced and assertive. "That's a nice veil she's got , " said the short fat girl , referring to the tall girl on the other sido. The other girl sniffed. A few stations further the first two girls rose to leave the car. The taller reached the door and put her hand against it to brace herself for the stop ping jerk. It came. Her companion wns thrown against her. stopped on her dress , and wild , "Goodness ! " "Why don't she pick up her trail ? " asked the short , fat girl of her friend. The friend merely bullied. As the train moved away the short , fat girl said : "Why , she's going down the stops and she hastj't picked it up yet. 1 wonder why ? " "Because , " replied the tall girl , wisely and with some acidity , "sho wears a No. 7 shoo. I scon it. " > . Gluilstnno's I'orsimutlty. Personally Mr. Gladstone is an ex ample of tlio most winning , the most delicate and the most minute courtesy. Ho is a gentleman of the elder English school , bays McClure's Magazine'and , his manners are grand and urbane , always stately , never condescending , and genuinely modest. Ho alTcots even the dress of the old school , arid I have seen him in the morning wearing an old black evening coat , such as Prof. Jowott still atTects. The humblest passerby in Piccadilly , raising his hat to Mr. Glad stone , is snro to get a sweeping salute in return. This courtliness is all the more remarkable because it accompanies and adorns a very strong temper , a will of iron and a habit of being regarded for the greater part of his lifetime as a per sonal force of uncqualed magnitude. Yet the most foolish , and perhaps ono may add the most impertinent , of Mr. Gladstone's dinner table questioners is sure of an elaborate reply , delivered with the air of a student in deferentia , talk with his master. To thn cloth Mr. Gladstone shows a reverence that occa sionally woos the observer to a smile. The callowest curate is sure of a re spectful listener in the foremost Eng lishman of the day. On the other hand , in private convocation the premier does not often brook contradiction. His tem per is high and though , as George Rus sell has said , it is under vigilant controll there are subjects on which it is easy to arouse the old lion. Then the grand eyes Hash , the torrent of brilliant mon ologue flows with more rapid sweep and the dinner table is breathless at the spectacle of Mr. Gladstone angry. Afc to his relations with his family , they are very charming , It is a pleasure to hear Herbert Ltladstone his youngest and possibly his favorite son speak of "my father. " All of them , sons and daugh ters , are absolutely devoted to his cause , wrapped up in his personality and en thusiastic as to every bide of his char acter. .Of children Mr. Gladstone has ever been very fond , and ho has more than ono favorite among his grand children. irhtfttllni ; "Mou Are O. K. "Most people look upon whistling as a nuisance , " said Herbert C. Sutcliffe , who is at the Southern , "but there is no doubtttlmt a whistling man has a good deal to recomincud him. I have a friend who ib a warden in a largo penitentiary , and ho states that in all his long experi ence he never know an habitual whistler condemned to a term in the institution , and ho says , moreover , that although the rules as to quiet and older are fre quently broken , ho never remembers of hearing an attempt at musical whistle within the terrible looking walls of the institution. Whistling bocms to be the natural safety valve of good spirits and batisfaetion , and the grumbling man couldn't whistle if ho tried.
