This is n question which nt present Is ngl-
tatlng the t citizens of Council Bluffs very
gro.itly , but many uro Inclined to think thnt
they can sco In the notions of the motor com
pany yesterday indications that the com
pany thinks It is not. Ever slnco thu motor
line has been In operation the Omaha trains
have boon run up Hroadwny , around the
Plerco street loop , and back. About two
year * npo a change was Introduced byvhlch
only half the trains were run up llroailway ,
every other Omaha motor running down
Main Direct to the Hock Island depots for the
accommodations of the public In that part of
the city. Yesterday still another change
was inndo , and from now on all Omaha
trains will bo run down Main street. A
stub line Is run from the corner of Pearl
street up IJroadvray anil around the Plcrco
strcot loon , to take the place of the double
trains that liuvo heretofore ) been operated on
that portion of the line.
A Hen reporter was one of the first to
board a train on this stub line yesterday
morning. When ho tendered three bright
new pennies In payment for his ride ho was
Informed that thu laro was fi cents.
"Isn't the it-cent faro ordinance in force
now I"
"I don't know anything about any ordi
nance , " replied the man who handled the
bell-punch : "all 1 know Is that wo have
orders to charge passengers 5 cents a trip. "

What the motive of thocompany Is In run

just at this particular time is a question that
bothers u great many people , but develop
ments within the next few days are hoped
for that will RIVO some Idea as to the nature
of the knothole which the company is mak
ing for Itself. A rumor was started during
the moraine 'that the company , in its won
derful wisdom , had found some way by
which it could charge 3 cents for all passen
gers on Upper Hioatlwiiy to I o irl street ,
and 10 cents more from that point to
Omaha. This , however , was a mistake , as
the company has so far made no effort to
raise It" prices.
It Is understood that the city ofllcials will
make no effort to enforce the new ordinance ,
but will leave that in the hands of the com-
inlttetrbt 100 citizens , whoso executive com
mittee drew it up and had it passed by the
council. A test case will bo mudo by causing
the arrest of one of the conductors who in

the case has been carried to the supreme

Judge Deemer held n short session of the
district court yesterday and rendered a de
cision In the famous case of H. L. Henry
against William Evans and others which
was started a number of years ago for the
purpose of getting n division of the pro
ceeds of a cattle venture in which the plain
tiff and defendants were alleged to hnvo
been Interested. Judge Deemer decided
several years ago that there was a partner
ship between them in what was known as
the "Oregon venture , " but as Henry's claim
U > have been in with them in another vnu-
uh'o later on was controverted by the de
fendants the court appointed L. W. Hess
referee and instructed him to ascertain the
facts in the case and the amount , if tnero
was any , that was duo Henry.
The report of the referee was submitted to
the court about eighteen months ago and has
been held undcradviscmunt by Judge Deemer
ever since. In It ho found that thu partner
ship did not extend beyond the limits of thu
, Oregon venture and llxud $10,000 as the
amount which Henry was entitled to re
ceive. In his decision rendered yesterday
Judge Deemer sustained the referee's report
in every particular , and overruled the mo
tion of the plaintiff for a setting aside of the
report. IIo handed down a judgment for
the sum of $1,000 in Henry's favor and
ordered the costs to bo paid by the plaintiff
and defendant half and hnlf. Huforcc Hess
was allowed $1,000 as his fco. Thu decision
is highly satisfactory to the defendants , us
they had conceded Henry's connection with
, the Oregon deal and hud made him u tender
of his share of tlio proceeds of the deal , which
was refused.

For the third time within three months
: the bank of E. E. Hart on South Main street
was broken Into and robbed Monday night.
h : The burglars took a now way of getting in
' this time by boring a hole through the brick
wall of the vault from the outside of the
building , The Job was evidently done by
, some ono who was well acquainted with thu
interior of the building and the arrangement
of the things inside the vault. There is no
steel lining to tlio vault , so that when the
marauder * got tholr hole bored through the
masonry they had nn trouble in working
their way through. A pllo of old clothing
was thrown down on the ground for the
bricks to drop on to that the nolso of their
operations might not roach pusscrshy on
ho thu street , Once inside the burglars pieuod
up u small sack containing about (8 in

MIOA IS THE STUFF.
In These lny tlio Worlil Coulil Hardly
Worry Alnnjy VVlthnnt It.
Mica fills the interstices of modern
progress. A few decades ago wo were
seeking practical use and market for the
output of mica mines nlrciidy found !
now wo are soaking now mines to supply
the multifarious uses to which mien can
bo applied. Thus the law of necessity
changes in its relation to all things.
Mien Is now ns essential to thu various
uses of electricity ns this great force ia
necessary to human progress. In all ap
pliances for electrical lighting nnd
power , says tlio Chicago Inter Ocean ,
the most important reciprocal ngcnt en
tering into their mechanism is mien.
All nrmatures arc built up with its in
sulation , whether for dynamos , motors ,
generators or transformers. Without
its use as tin Insulntlon the core of tlio
armature would burn out with a Hash ,
but by placing sheets of mien between
the thin sheets of iron , which are secured -
cured to the shaft that runs through the
drum of the armature , insulation be
comes perfect. Thus armatures of oven
the largest generators can bo run for
twenty-four continuous hours without
heating them more than 80 ° Fahren
heit nbovo the temperature of the sur
rounding air. By this use of mica the
lines of force nro dissipated , but do not
lose any of their electrical energy.
In electrical safety appliances mica also
performs an important part as an In
sulator. To its infusible and indestruct
ible nature much of the .ntcross of the
rheostat can bo ascribed. This wonder
ful mechanism , which is applied as n
motor starter , a governor of speed , a re
versing switch , and an automatic safety
switch , is absolutely fire-proof , and can
bo subjected to n red heat without
mechanical injury. This is rendered
possible by making the resistance of
thin plates of iron packed closely together
gothor , but separated by mica.
Thus the lines of force operate on the
same principle , as in the armature.
Aside from thcso important uses of mica
in electrical apparatus , it is also applied
to a thousand minor ones , which make it
the constant and willing servant of the
great power that man has turned to in
telligent subjugation.
Mica is also an important factor in
many branches of manufacture and art.
Owing "to its peculiar elasticity and
toughness , qualities in which it is not
excelled by anything natural or jirti
lloial , it is used as an absorbant of nitro ;
glycerine , and when so used explosions
by percussion are rendered almost im
possible , while at the same time nothing
is taken from the energy of the nitro-
glycurino when exploded by fulminates
or similar device. For such purpose
the plumose mica is used , or that in
which the scales are arranged in feath
ery form.
The prismatic or foliated mica is also
used by passing it through a mill. This
vastly increases the mica's bulk and
forms masses of bran-like scales , trans
lucent and beautiful. The French sil
ver moldings are also made with this
ground mica. The unalterable nature
of mica and the fact that it entirely re
sists tlio action of corrosive acids , smoke
and dust , make it valuabjo ma-
tcrial for edificial ' decoration
It can bo readily colored or metal
lizotl. and its transparency preserves ii
all its pristine beauty anything to which
it is applied. This ground mica is also
used as a lubricant and axle grease , and
for such purposes has no superior ex
cept plumbago. Coarsely pulverized it
is also used for roofing material and as a
firoprooling for iron safes.
The cleavage of mica is so perfect it is
estimated that it can bo split or divided
into loaves 1150,000 to an inch. The
largest plates of mica with such folia-
clous structure nro obtained from the
Siberian mines , anil they sometimes
attain a diameter of 5 and 7 feet.
Crystals over U feet in diameter have
been found in Pennsylvania , 18 to 114
inches in Now Mexico and J4 inches in
North Carolina. Blocks of crystals
weighing ever 100 pounds are frequently
mined. The North Carolina mines are
supposed to bo very ancient.
Mica plates found in them when first
discovered were trimmed to particular
shapes , and it is supposed they were
used for windows , mirrors and orna
ments. The number of the mines and 1
the magnitude of these ancient opera
tions excite wonder. Some of the mines
are tunnelled to a considerable length ,
and distinctly nhow marks of ohisol-
shapcd touls. Mica in some form exists
nil ever the earth , but not in quantities
of any commercial value. It can bo
found in granite and quartrubollito ,
green tourmaline , feldspar , lopidolito
and other minerals , also in granular
limestone , gnoib's and slate. It varies in
color from white through green , yel
lowish and brownish shades to black.
Its chemical composition is siliclte of
alumina and potash , with a small amount
of iron , magnesia and soda , and about
per cent water.

Dr. .1. S. Wintormuto , complainant in
a $41,000 daniago suit against James
Stinson , a Chicago Ktuckman , on trial at
Tacoma , was accused in the United
States court of hypnotizing a witne.ss
who was on the bland. Wintormuto Is
said to bo able to mesmerize and hypno
tize people.
Stinson fiont him a lot of blooded
horses a couple of years ago. They
were placed on Wintormnto'K farm for
breeding purposes , and now Wintormuto
has sued Stinson for Korvicos nnd the
use of his farm properties. This morn i
ing the court denied a motion for u non
suit , and Stinson , who had engaged able
counsel , began to introduce hisovidonco.
One of his witnesses "could not re

- court the witness was being hypnotized
by the complainant , Wintormuto. Judce
Stindford did not hcom to consider thu
objection seriously. The examination
- was ordered continued and the witness
asked more questions , hut ho still

that ho waa under n hypnotic spoil
Wintormuto was observed to bo making

Tlio executive committee of ten , appointed
nt the meeting held in the school house ono
week ago when Ed Johnson read n report on
the actions of tha city council , mo' , at the
ofllco of John Dee last night. Although the
mayor and all the members of the city coun
cil nnd the city ofllclals were Invited to bo
present the mayor , city attorney and Coun
cilman Wyman failed to put In tin appear
ance. City Attorney Van Duscn sent In a
communication , however , stating that inas
much as the only Information or knowledge
ho had of the contents of Mr. Johnson's re
port was what ho had read In the dally
papers ho was not nt this time ready to
make any denlah , corrections or statement
to the committee. Ho would bo perfectly
willing to reply to any comments after ho
had been provided with a copy of the report.
The councilman present were Hulln , Conley ,
JUruco , Sohultz , Wyman , Mulluta and ICout-
sky. City Treasurer Hoc tor audi Garbage-
master Stilvelcy were the only city oflloinls
who attended. City Clerk Dltzou was longed
for , but never came.
There was a full attendance of the tax
payers committee. Mr. C. M. Hunt Is pres
ident , but did not arrive until late , and his
place was substituted by Hon. J. .1. llrccn.
Secretary S. P. Brigham was present with
bis minutes of the previous mcotlug , which
were read and approved.
Dave Anderson arose and announced that
the meeting had been called for the purpose
of giving the members of the council and
others referred to 111 the report an oppor
tunity to refute the allegations. He ex
plained that the coinmitteo was not after
any one's scalp , neither did It maku the
charge of boodle u crlmo. It was simply a
case , ho believed , of mismanagement and
blunders.
Councilman Wood said that ho was not
familiar with the contents of the report and
wanted a detailed copy of the same. The
council could then read it over. Johnson
said ho had notillcd the council that the re
port was In his olllcc and could be seen dur
ing business hours by any ono Interested.
Councilman Wyman , ho said , hud telephoned
him that he would bu up to his ollico to look
over the report , but later on telephoned him
that the city attorney would llrst take a look
at the document and that Wymau hud nuvor
been to see it at nil. Councilman Hullu said
he did not attend the meeting at the school
house , but ho was ready to answer
tiny questions thu conunitteo might
wish to fire .at him. Then
there was a whole lot of
discussion as to how tlio council was to eeta
copy of the Johnson re'port. Johnson , it
seemed , did : : ot want the manuscript to go out
of his olllcc , but was willing to be there and
explain In detail its contents to any person
tlio council saw lit to splid and get a copy.
Wood Insisted on the committee furnishing a
full and detailed copy to the council , and
then that body would notify the committee
when It was ready to answer. Anderson ob
jected to this. Brcen said the city was pay
ing a stenographer , autl ho did not see why
ho or she could riot bu asked to make the re
port.
"Is that report the Individual property of
Mr. Johnson } " ashed Mr. Uulln.
"Yes ; it is. " replied Mr. Hunt. "Ho did
the work under the direction of the com
mittee , but It was a big Job and the manu
script belongs to him. Mr. Brighum suggested
that - - and circulated
gested thoTcport-bc- printed
lated among tlidse nUlb 'were entitled to a
copy. JobiiBoti explained that the council
did not need only a portion pf his 'report and
added thut it would bo foolish to copy it all. "
"Let the council Judge what it wunts and
what it does not want. Give us the whole
thing that wo may answer it. intelligently , "
chipped in Mr. Bullu. This gentleman also
suggested that a copy of the report bo given
to thu council and then hold another muhs
meeting at the school house and give the
council the same chance the committee had.
Ho believed that n great deal of undue ex
citement had been aroused that could bo ex
plained away very satisfactorily to the
public.
Again Mr. Anderson took the floor nnd
stated that a new era would have to bo In
stigated. That the condition of affairs was
bad and needed mending. Ho considered '
that the council had hud ample time to post
itself and was opposed to any further time
being granted.
Councilimin Conloy said ho was ready for
any question that might bo asked. Council
man Bruce was not. Ho was ignorant of
the contents of the roport. Ho said ho had
no time to go to Johnson's ollico in the day
time and wanted a copy of the tliluir that
ho might sit down at homo and peruse it.
Conncilmeii , ho suld , were not all nneels r.nd
were as Ha bio to err as any one else. If ho
had made any bud breaks ho stood ready to
bo Jnckcdup.but ho wanted to know some
thing about the details before ho talked too
much.
It was finally agreed to have Mr. Picrco ,
the deputy city clerk , make a copy of the report
port In Mr. Johnson's ofllco for the perusal of
the council and lot that body give Us answer
ono week later at the same place.
Tills ended the business with the council
and tlio city olllciuls were next called to
time.
The charge hi the Johnson report made
against the city treasurer is that ho has
been collecting fees illegally.
City Treasurer Hector said that Inasmuch
ns the council had been allowed to go over
ho preferred to make his reply nt the same
time. Ho was ready and able , however , to
explain that all of his ofilcial acts had been
backed by law.
'Can ' you show us the law backing up your
acts ? " asked Mr. Anderson.
t "I think I can. "
"What are the fees for which you have
collected on delinquent taxes ? " *
"For collectors of the samo. "
"Who liavo been your collectors lately ? "
asked Mr. Johnson ,
"Hwiry Beal. "
"Havo you been taking fees on taxes vol
untarily paid ? "
"Yes , sir. "
"Then you deduot from all tnxes col 1-

A number of ladles in Albright who are

held a meeting yesterday and gave the old
fellow a thorough airing. The conclusion

daughter they would take the gentleman tea

his bare body. The daughter refuses to
testify In court against her father , but has
told her story to a number of women In her

A lamp at the Keystone hotel was filled

and when the servant lighted It at 'J o'clock
there was an explosion which called out the
firemen. The oil flowed out on the floor and
caused considerable excitement for a short
time , but the damage was slight.
The wild Cossacks , llvinp away down
in the southernmost part of the Uunsian
empire , spend most of tholr time hur-
the Tnrkn. They are particu
lurly Biivitk'o in appearance. Tholr uni
form is the Cossack coat , full trousers ,
Hcarlot uiiuorciiat hooked up to the neck ,
big boots , and as an overcoat they wear
a bourku , a circular cloak made of
coarse felt with long , slmijffjy hair on
- ono side of it. This cloak is big enough
to cover the rider and inucli of the
liorso. The most ( listinctivo point In
, , tholr ilrosB , however , Is the cylindrical
hut of black astrachan which they wear
at all seasons. The top Is of cloth or
velvet. They form part of the Itusslan

News of the decision was received nt the

information had come that mutters In Paris
were not looKtna favorable for the United
Stales , Resides thprc had not always been
In administration circles extreme confidence
In the strength of the American CAMS , and
considerable difference of opinion uxlttcd ns
to the Justness of the claims mudo by this
government.
Secretary Orcsham declined to glvo an ex
pression of opinion in i'cnaid to the decision.
Ilo communicated the news to President
Cleveland at Gray Gables , nnd also had a
long conference with Secretary Carlisle. It
IE probable that nil the vessels composing
our licet In the Hcrlng sea will bo with
drawn except one revenue cutter , which will
bo used In maintaining the 'protective zone
hi accord with the decision ,
The decision of the arbitrators will compel
the United States to make compensation to
Urltlsh subjects for abstaining from the
capture of seals In Ucrlng sea during the
pendency of arbitration , This does not
touch the question of damages prior to that
time , and further information Is awaited aa
to the naturoof the ( hidings with reference
to tha seizures of 18S7 nnd lisS'J.
Senator Uutlor said the award gave more
than ho expected ; that ho never believed
the contention that if Hcrlng sea was closed
n sea could bo maintained.
Senator Fryo thought the court would
hold wu had property right In tlio seals , and
says the decision raises n very serious ques
tion as to the liability for past action.
Senator Sherman thought the adjustment
of a close season and the extension of meas
ures for the prevention of pelagic sealing
very acceptable , _

It Is not generally known that few
words can boast of so remote and widely
extended prevalence as "hurrah. " In
India and Ceylon "ur-ro-ro ! " which
scorns to bo a form of "hurrah , " is used
by the mahouts and attendants on the
baggage elephants. The Arabs and
camel drivers of Egypt , 1'alestino and
Turkey encourage their animals to ro-
newcd clTort by cries of "ar-re , ur-re ! "
The Spanish Moors use something of
the same expression. In Franco the
sportsman excites the hounds by his
shouts of "Ilnro , hare ! " and wagoners
turn their horses by crying "Ilnrbauh ! "
Irish and Scottish herdsmen shout
"Hurrish , hurrishl" to their cattle.
The exclamation is thought to bo a
corruption of the old Norsemen battle
cry "Tur-ato" ( Thor aid. )

them without a moment's delay

made in childhood arc speedy ,
