Tlio committee which was appointed by
Mayor Lawrence to solicit subscriptlbns for
the aid of the sufferers in the Pomeroy cy-
clone has been hard at work for the past
two days making the rounds of the citizens.
The terrible results of the cyclone had evi
dently touched the sympathies of everyone ,
for but very few declined to give such aid us
was in their power. The report of the com
mittee to the mayor will bo made this morn
ing , when it will bo known Just
how much the citizens of Coun
cil Bluffs gave , to this worthy
cause , but It Is thought that the amount will
not bo lesi than fO'JO , with the probability of
its exceeding that amount. Mayor Lawrence
deserves credit for his readiness in issuing
his proclamation , and the committee , which
consisted of J. N. Casady , V. Jennings , E. A.
Wlckhum , F. O. Gleason , Theodore Gulttar ,
J. II. Puce , A. T. Fllckmgcr and S. B. AVads-
worth , deserves no less praise for Its ener
getic labors In behalf of the sufferers. None
of the subscriptions over $10 , and by
far the largest portion was in amounts of $1 ,
which shows how general were the sym
pathy und the feelings of generosity on the
part of the people of Council Bluffs.

protection. The idea hns been suggested of
making an order compelling certain property ,
owners whcro largo interests are involved
to put perforated pipes in their places , so as
to insure good protection. This sort of nsa
thiug Is considered especially necessary In
the implement houses on lower Main street.
Many of them nro packed with the most Jt.n -

ever break out there the entire destruction

MARRIED WOMEN'S EIGHTS.
The New Law Fniiod by the I.cRlMnttiro of
The now married women's law passed
by the late legislature is deserving of
the attention of all having business with
thna class of persons , says the Plttsburg
Times. It was parsed to meet decisions
of the courts , which , pursuing tholr
usual custom of very strict constructions
on that subject , had largely neutralized
the .apparent intent of previous legisla
tion , as well as to meet th6 demand for
larger freedom ever their estates by
married women.
The act provides that a married
woman may luivo the snmo right and
power ns an unmarried person to ac
quire , use , lease and dispose of property ,
but she may not mortgage or convoy her
real ebtato unless her husband joins.
She may also make any contract in
writing or otherwise which is necessary ,
appropriate , convenient or advnn- t
tngcons to the exercise or enjoyment of
her . rights of property , but olio may not
become accommodation indorser , maker ,
guarantor or surety for another. She
may sno and bo sued civilly , out she
may not suo.hor . husband except
for divorce or to protect or recover her
separate property when deserted or re
fused support , and ho may sue her for
divorce or to protect or recover his prop
erty when deserted by her , but she shall
not"bo arrested for her torts. In suits
between husband nnd wife both shall bo
competent witnesses , but cannot testify
to confidential communications unless
tobj agreement. She may dispose by will
of nil her property , but the husband's
right as tenant by courtesy shall not bo
ullected. The act of Juno I ) . 1887 , and
all other inconsistent acts are repealed

Paderewski was younger once it goes
without saying : moreover ho was more
handsome , but less interesting. He was
gay nnd light-hearted , and full of ambi
tion. His wife , she was young , too , and
very womanly and very sweet to look at.
She had blue oycs nnd brown hair , and
a little dimple in the loft check. She
was devoted to her husband full of
aspirations for him. She expected to
see him a great man. Ho played to
her always what ho wrote , and she lay
on the couch and listened and admired
him.

Pndorowski wns not great in those days ,

Did ho arrange to play at a concert it

So it went on , and the wife she was

It was the worst form , and you could see
her change from day to day.

On the roof garden.
It must hnvo been u very modern and
very masculine versifier that lead pen
cilled thcso lines in a dashing , devil-
may-cnro hand across n Japanese fan
which lay upon a table on ono of the big
roof ganlon theaters ono night last
week ns wo seated ourselves beneath a
spreading palm tree and discreetly
whispered an order to the Franco-Swiss
waiter , who vanished into n grove of
green like a , genius disappearing in the
air.
There wore three of us an artist , a
pool and n writer but wo all
ordered steins of beer , says the New
York Ilcrald. O , Tampornl O , Morosl
The lights Hashed about us like a thou
sand stars amid the walls of shrubbery ;
the perfume of a jacquo rose mingled
with the evergreen odors , and a woman's '
soft laugh sounded from a nearby table ,
where a girl with straw colored hair fiat
sipping a glass of wino and looking
almost beautiful in the pink light which
lliekerod from above , casting a tracery
of foliage in n shadow across her face.
It was a summer night's dream in
Now York.
Far off in the distance , it seemed , was
a stage , and upon It a serpentine dancer
was undulating amid fluttering drapery.
Under changing lights , now rod , now
green , now yellow , she Hashed about
like a gorgeous butterfly. Mandolins
sounded the music of a waltz in time to
hoi * swerving movements , nnd her
golden slippers twinkled about her heat !
in I'owildoring succession.
The poet gazed dreamily at the stars ,
the artist looked at the dancer and the
writer took notes. It was a new experi
ence for him.
The roof gnrdensiof Now York during
the summer season present a phase of
modern lifo which is ( f istinotly local ajid
intensely AmcricaiJL'horo } siao by side
sit the millionaire ? nnd the clerk , the
opera queen and the aristocrat. In the
theater the rail of the private box sep
arates the prince aml.tho commoner , but
on the roof nil are oqiml.
It approaches nearer to an anarchist's
idea of heaven than anything on the
earth below or in tho'waters under the
earth. ' , '
"Tho roof garden.theater. " said * the
poet , "is the elevated stage. You can't
got any higher than tjiis without wings ! '
Lifo as presented eix. . stories iri the air'
takes on-a different'aspect to ordinary
existence on terra firma. It is unreal
nnd far away from the everyday annoy
ances of lifo. There is a sort of stage
glamor ever everything , and in its in
fluence wo forgive our enemies , forgot
our dyspepsia and the bills wo owe and
f 20 ! toward the entire human race like a
man and a brother.
"Tho roof garden , " said the poet , "is
ono of the great moral lovers of the age.
It implants in the human breast that
universal charity to all men that wo are
taught t to believe is the foundation of
religion. ' Have another with mo. " Wo
acquiesced silently , and the waiter
glided fi f oft like Hamlet's father's ghost
with i our three steins dangling between
his 1 linger and thumb.
The tables near to us presented an in
teresting field for study. The girl with ;
the straw-colored hair leaned her elbows
upon the table and talked volubly , with
many gestures of her bcdiamondcd (
hands. The two men with whom she
conversed were stout and prosperous :
looking and scompd to uay little atten
tion to her words. Near them , under
the shadow of a palm , sat a pale , girlish
little woman , the leading ingenue at ono
of the fashionable theaters , and with her
is a broad-shouldered English actor the
idol of the matinco girls of Now York.
Next to them , and forming part of the
magic circle around us , are a party 10of
men discussing a recent poker game , and
touching olbowa with us on the other
side is a Wall street broker and his type
writer , a pretty girl with a Brooklyn-
csquo air.
Some ono is singing "After the Ball i , "
but no one scorned to heed it. Conver
sational bits break in upon the melody
ut every turn.
"You see it is this way , " said one of
the poker men. "It was a jack pot and
it went round three times , then I raised

colored broke in "I'll '

are plain and are heard distinctly.

shook my hand. 'Tako care of your >
self. I'll ' write from Queenstown. ' But
ho never baid a word about that 300 ho
touched mo for. "
"I may live In Brooklyn , but I'm not
BO unsophisticated as people think. "
"I know it'a not righl to go out with
married men and " -
"Ho won it , I toll you. Ho

"Thirty ! Yes , thirty in the bhudo for
the lutit live years. Don't toll mo any
ghost story like that. I'll take eoltzer. "
Juat then a hush fell on the audience.
f
Olas o3 stopped clinking nnd every ono
bent forward to Haton.
"Hnrkl" says the poet , "to the strains
of representative American melody for
which our fnrco-comlc souls hunger nnd
thirst. "
A long , lank vocalist beprlns lo sing in
jog > trot tlmo and "Man in the Moon"
tunoi.
"Her brother came up to my rooms
And stoln nil my souvenir spoons.
InTo n red Mother Hubbnrd she went to the cup *

pocket.
Her ocn on It closes in June ,

Tor i find U no Joke , with my clothes Ml In
Mink.
I wish 1 was the Man In the Moonl"
Bursts of npplaitso greet this trem nnd
the singer bows to nn cncoro. Thopoot
wipes nwuy n tear from his off eye and
the artist shudders. The next performer
is n man who comes ujwn the stage in nn
apologetic way nnd begins to talk in tv
rambling sort of fashion which seems to
plcasotho audience immensely.
"I went down to a Gorman wake the
other night , " ho says. "Now a German
wnko is very uncommon and I'll toll you
why. When a German is dead ho'a
dead. He's nt rest and that's the end of
him. But you've got to watch nn Irish
man for three nights and sit on his
grnvo for about a year before you can bo
sure that ho won't turn up again and
make trouble. " And after this laugh Is
stilled ho continues : "I'm ' not feeling
very well at all tonight. I've bcon com
plaining for the lust couple of days and
I called down to see the doctor today.
Ho didn't ' give mo much hone. Ho said
1 had an ingrowing face aim that it was
chronic.
In this wise wo are entertained nnd
the hour grows late , the merry plunk of
a banjo succeeds the unecdotist nnd
familiar darky bongs sound in n lively
measure. Some colletro boys begin to
sing :
Don't you hear dem bolls ,
Don't ' you hear dem bolls ,
Dcy nro ringing out do glory of do M.
A. C. A. C.
Don't ' you hear dom bolls
But tit this point they are promptly
sat upon by a waiter. Now there is n
flutter nnd a rush , and nclattor of voices
and laughter. The theaters are out and
both the audiences and the actors nro
being landed upon the root by the
elevator full. The "well known"
people do not reach the sky gardens
until 11 has Bounded. Then the "nota
bilities" arrive.
There is the man who jumped off the
bridge nnd afterward developed into a
full Hedged sport , nnd then began to
dally with philanthropy. Ho is talking
to a bold , black-browed woman , who is
attended by two broad brimmed dudes.
She has just come from the stage of a
.nearby music hall , where every night
she sings sentimental songs in deep
chest tones. Thcro is a celebrated
criminal lawyer with a burlesque
actress who has .a couple of divorce
suits on her mind just now , and who
likes to bee her name in the papers.
Three men in evening dross enter
together a notable trio. The lirst , a
popular little humorist , leaning on a
cano , whoso face is as familiar nnd as
welcome us his jokes. His companions
are the captain of u base ball nine and
the son of an ox-president.
Sue the pale faced man who is seating
himself with a thin , oldish looking
woman in bluck. That is u champion
middleweight pugilist , and the woman
with him is his wife , a skirt dancer who
has gained undying fame through her
ability to kick backward.
It is getting late now nnd the early
comers are taking their departure , leav
ing their chairs to their late arrivals.
The Brooklyn girl and hoi- broker have
gone long bince , the pokorites have
wended their ways , and the "fashion
able" element , what there was of it , is
entirely gqno. Thcso gay people , who
talk so gayly and great ono another so
allusively , are types of metropolitan lifo
Bohemian Now York , not the fash
ionable imitation as found in swag
ger studios and "literary" sa i-
loons ] , but the real article the
people who see and know and near and
feel all that lifo oilers. Their faces are
like maps , upon which one can read
their different callings nnd vocations. )
The "society" cast ef countenance is only
represented hero by the callow dude
who always hovers around bcones like
this to which ho can gain _ access at the
box ofllce. Even the little chorus girl
in her sailor hat , her mannibh shirt
waist nnd her russet boots has begun to
show her emotions in her face , nnd their
is no need for her to toll that she has
secured a summer engagement 18n
Chicago at a small but sure talary , for >
you can rend it in her eyes.
Under the summer stars they sit until
the hour of departure arrives nhd the
lightn are quenched and the musicians
scurry off with unseemly haste.
' 'There is a popular delusion , " says
the poet , looking nervously at his watch ,
"especially in the feminine mind , that
the night was made to sleep. " What
time more beautiful than the night tote
give fancy reign and travel to the stars ?
To meditate upon the comedy of life , to
laugh at its delusions , to study its com
plexities and glory in its joys ? And
what more fitting place than here be
neath the sky , whore mufeijlaughtor ( , and
song nnd the light of womun'b eyes carry
us far from probitic New York to u world [
of languorous uirs and odors , lit with
blossoming eta"8 and six stories above
the earth ! Oh ! n check ? I hud forgot
ten that. What's that ? Two forty-five !
That seems high , but take it , take it all. '
Wo must bo off ! Wo had missed the
last elevator. "
Balloon tonight and tomorrow night.
A STBANOE AOOIDENT.
A Town In Germiiny Kntlroly Wiped Out
lir nn Artcninu Well.
A curious fate has overtaken the little
town of Schnoidemuhl , in the Duchy of
PoBuii. The people of Schneldumiihl
had u town pump which had supplied
thorn with water for many ycum Dur
ing the cholera epidemic hiat summer
the water foil unuor suspicion , which
analysis seemed to conlirm. It was
therefore determined to go deeper and
the pipes of an artesian well were put
down. At a depth of forty-four meters !
an underground reservoir was tupped .
and the water , pressed on by
the superincumbent soil , rushed '
up with great force. When
the artesian pipe was stopped the
water forced its wuy up outside ho
pipes , bringing up with it quantities of
sand. All the olTorts since mudo to fa top ,
the flow ha vo been useless , and an the
water rieea the earth sinks , The ob
vious inference seems to bo that so long
as there was no escape for it the water
formed an incompressible stratum on
which tho.itpjwr earth rested in safety.
Every hydrajllo press illustrates the
enormous force water will bear'and will
convoy when no outlet is provided for if ,
but lot there bo a vent and it yields to u
touch. So with the hidden water
stratum under the Poson town.
It borp up the weight
of llfty-four motors of solid earth so long
us there wus no outlet , but the artesian
plpo lot it loose and it rublicd out from
its conllnemcnt , and the soil it had
berne above it necessarily sunk down.
There is nothing remarkable , nothing
altogether unexpected. It has been
often pointed out tlmt there is a danger
to which artesian wells may expose us.
Alarm has sometimes boon ox pressed ut
the possible , though not probable , re
sult of tapping to any large extent the
wntor-bnarlnc strata under London.
The rneo of Schnoidemuhl Is porlmp *
Iho first in which this danger , which lini
always been theoretically recognized ,
has bcon realized to n very serious ex
tent.
ENGLISH ARMY TO USE CORDITE.
It Ii Mora PoTrrrfiit Tlinn lllnck I'ovnlur
mill lit SinnkolrM.
Tliosinokclosopowdor which 1ms boon
adopted by the British government for
use with the now English army rlllo is
known as cordlto.
Conlito derives its name from its
structm-Of the powder bolnp made up In
strings or cords of varying thickness ,
from about 300ths of an Inch to halt nn
inch in dlninotor. The thick cordlto is
cut in lengths of fourteen Inches. The
cordlto uVcd in Hold guns is cut in strips
measuring cloven inches in length. The
small-arm ammunition is made up of
sixty Btrnnds to a load.
According to Colonel P. W. Unrko of
the British artillery , the now cordlto la
a combination of nitro-celluloso anil
nltro-glycorino. The combination is 37
per cent guncotton , 53 per cent , nitro
glycerine and 5 per cent vaseline , to
which is added a proportion of acetone
distilled from wood. The mixture takes
on a stringy form.
In a mngn/lno rifle nchartjoof seventy
grains of uliiok gunpowder gives a ve
locity ot 1,8,10 , feet a second , whllo thirty
grains of cordite Rives the same bullet a
velocity of 2.000 feet. To obtain n ve
locity of 1,710 , feet n second in a Hold
gun requires a Wack powder charge of
four pounds. Tno name velocity Is ob
tainable from ono pound and a half
ounce of cordlto.
Cordlto , It is stated , has successfully
withstood all climatic tests imposed at
the powder works atWnlthiun , England.
Cordlto samples liavo been exposed In
nn open case in un open pouch to rain ,
snow , nnd Iho sun , and retained tholr
force unimpaired.
AUroant or the Times ,
Detroit Tribune : The doctor placed
hie feet upon the operating table nnd
laughed discordantly.
Ilo was not a handsome man , but do-
cldedly [ intorcbtinsr in appearance ,
which ; is the best that can bo said of
people who are not handsome.
"Vqs , " ho remarked , as ho pared his
finger nails with a scalpel , "I am
diagnosing many cases as more debility
this year which a twelve month ago I
should have called nervous prostra
tion. "
The doctor pondered.
'But what are you to do , " ho de
manded , "in times of financial strin
gency ? Nervous prostration"
The doctor picked his teeth reflec
tively with tv probe ,
"Means a trlu nbroau. Moro de
bility means the bcashoro for a couple of
days.Vo have to keep our finger on
the public pulHO , you knowl"
And the doctor laughed discordantly
some more.
IN HIGH PLACES ! It is
v/ not strange that some people do
wrong through ignorance , others from
a failure to in vosiigato 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 manufacturing
firms will offer and hell to rotnll mer
chants , articles which they know to bo
infringements on the rights of proprie
tors , and imitations of well known goods.
Wofnni to sound a note of warning to
the retailers to beware of such imita
tions aud simulations of "CAttrnu's LIT
TLE LIVER 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 n lawsuit. Bon
Franklin said "Honesty is the best poli
cy" ; it is just as true that "Honesty Is
