"Doc" Wright , senior proprietor of th o
Ogdcn , who lias been suffering from a dan
gerous attack of typhoid fever , is still In u
precarious condition. For the last two clays
bis friends have had little encouragement to
hope for his recovery. Last ovcnlng bis
physician discovered n slight change for the
hotter nnd now thinks ho has a uhanco for
his life.
The street cleaning gangs under tbo
charge ot police officers arc doing splendid
work. This recalls tbo suggestion that
Olllcer Wlatt has so frequently made to the
council that tbo uurcbaso , of a couplo-of
street sweepers and an extra team of horses
would enable him to do at practically no
expense whatever tbo work that costs other
cities thousands of dollars annually.
Eugene Mottoz , driver for Wheeler & Hor-

Wednesday afternoon by the upscttingof bis
wagon when backing up to the parking to

killed. Only two or tbreo energetic women
saw the accident and they rushed to bis as-
ilstanco and helped him out.
A letter was received last evening from
the eastern buyer for Bcnnlson Bros. , ad
vising them of an enormous purchase which
lie had made. Over $30,000 worth of fine
merchandise had been bought at forced sale
nt CO cents on tbo dollar. These goods were
bought September 1 and shipped to the Urn
in Council Bluffs September 2. They arc
now on the way and will bo hero In a few
days. "Look out for the greatest sale on
record , " was the sententious remark of Mr.
Frank Bonnlson last evening.
An old man named McDonald , who is now
n charge upon tbo county , has been rendered
completely helpless by n stroke of paralysis.
The old man has lived hero for years , nnd
1ms been very actlvo In supporting himself
until of late. Ho Is a veteran of the Mexi
can war , and In that war caught a bullet In
his leg , tbo result of the wound
being a running sere which has
never healed fully. Ho docs
not receive any pension , however , and the
reason for this Is peculiar. The old man has
always been very sensitive about growing
old , and has always represented himself as
younger than he really Is. His daughter
says ho Is 8' ) years old , but bo Insists that ho
Is only 74. In making an application for a
pension bis dcslro for a youthful reputation
olung to him so tenaciously that bo gave bis
ngo as about fifteen years less than It really
was , and this discrepancy showing up on
comparison with the muster roll at Wash
ington has caused his application to stay in
the pigeon holo. Ho has all the other
proof necessary to establish bis right to a
pension , but the discrepancy in ages makes
the onlcials suspicious. His freakof pride
is keeping him now from receiving the need
ful to mnko him Independent.

In this city has been torn down to mnko way

avenue , near Twelfth street , there has stood
for-so many years tfmt the oldest Inhabitant
Has lost track ot its origin , n queer nonde
script bulldlnif , composed of all kinds of
building material , ancient and modern. It
Is said to have been erected when Council
Bluffs was still a Mormon settlement Known
as Kancsvlllc , and its architect , bulkier and
liroprlotor was an Indian with a nmno that
tias not survived the assaults of fifty years
of change ami forgctfulness. Thcro have
boon some wlcrd stories told of the old
Bbanty , uncanny stories that dealt la ghosts
and hoba-obllns , with an occasional mys
terious disappearance of some settler or vis
iting redskin. A crowd of gazers have
watched the- process of tearing away tbo old
place with a morbid curiosity. Nothing ,
however , has been discovered that will Jus
tify their loss of lime.
NOTTllH MANAWA. CilNli.
Colonel Herd Hmllr * ( Irhnly Over -tlio
Council' * Now 3-Ont Onllimnce.
Colonel F. C. Heed , general manager of
the Manawa motor line , Is enjoying a sort of
LcatherstocKlng laugh at tbo cxpcnso of tbo
city council. The occasion Is found in the
amendment of Alderman Hathaway to the
3-ccnt ordinance gotten up for tbo benefit of
the clcetrlo motor line , making It include
not only the Mauawa line , but requiring
that company to accept and Issue transfer
checks , carrying any passengers who may
present an electric motor check , and carry
ing thorn free at least as far as tbo city
limits.
"I would HUe to have the council comedown
down and glvo an exhibition on my lawn for
the bciioilt of the public. I believe It would
bo a great attraction. They are bettor Jokers
than the end men In a minstrel show. Of
course , they know that such an ordinance
could not bo enforced , and they are only put
ting in their tlmu punning. But I don't
know what they are going to gain by it. In
my opinion it weakens their efforts to bring
tbo electric motor to time by discrediting
their work and intentions. Thcro is not a
school child In town but knows that
such an ordinance. Is unconstitutional , be
cause It is Unjust. Thcro will bo no b-ccnt
faro on tbo Manawa line for some time to
como. nnd unless the motor company bu.vs
out the line motor 3-ccnt checks will not bo
accepted for passage to the city limits or
anywhere else. Wo haul people anywhere
this slue of Manawa for 5 cents to and from
the Broadway depot , and that is tbo very
best wo can do at the present state of the
trauic. "
It was tacitly agreed at the moot
ing of the council when the or
dinance was passed that Alder
man Smith should be the person to make tbo
test case on the Manawa line by tendering a
motor check or a ! i-cent faro. It was argued
that ho was the best naturcd and fattest
member of the body and it would hurt him
less than any other member to bo violently
ejected from the train when It was Hying
through the cornfields south of town at tbo
rate of twenty miles an hour.

Sioux CITT , Sept. 7. [ Special Telegram to
Tun DnK.JWack Skinner , a notoriously dos-
pcrato character , was arrested here today
by Sheriff Ungcr of Cherokee , la. , for the
murder of Martin Schultz nnd wlfo , near
that city. The murder of the Schultz family
was an unusually brutal crlmo and the citi
zen * ot Cherokee offered a rowan ! of $1,500
for tha arrest and conviction of the mur
derer.
Martin Schultz and his wife llvod on a
farm sixteen miles southeast of Cherokee ,
ml were hardworking Germans who had
ccumulatcd some property and wcro known
to Keep money scerotcd' ' in the house. A day
or so previous to the murder they took
some money from the bank In Cherokee for
the purpose of making a purchase of some
laud , they at the time being tenants on a
farm belonging to Mrs. Schultz's brother.
On the night of August 10 the house was
entered by unknown parties , and U is sup
posed that in their efforts to escape without
being Idcntltled the robbers thought it
necessary to murder.the old pooplo. On 'tho
morning of August 17 neighbors who visited
the Schultz home found Mr. Schultz dead In
bed and Mrs. Schultz lifeless In the yard , a
few foot from the door. The house
had been ransacked and the furniture was
In confusion. Mrs. Schultz's head was beaten
to a jelly and the husband's skull was frac
tured la half a dozen places , either of the
wouuds being sufficient to produce death.
The wounds appnared as If made by a ham
mer , but the Instrument of murder has never
been found and the tracks of the murderer
were so well covered that thoChorokcc county
authorities have been groping to Und a clew ,
but their efforts thus far have boon attended
with little success. Several parties have
been arrested , but wore released later.
County Attorney Ilobart of Cherokee , who
Is also hero , says ho has an amazingly strong
circumstantial case against Skinner. Skin
ner was near the scene of the murder Au
gust 10 and was not at homo that night. Ho
know ot the Schultzcs having money and
disappeared Immediately after the murder.
He never had ahy means ot his ou-ti and
slnco that time he has spent money lavishly
here and at O'Neill , , Neb. Skinnor's claim
when arrested that ho could prove an alibi
by a family named Gurtm , for whom ho
worked , was quickly exploded. Ho will Do
taken to Cnorokco tomorrow.

Thoiacowas from tlioScotland lightship

with all descriptions of crafts , from the
decks of which tlidusa'ruls of people wit
nessed the race. ii <
It was long after U 'clock when the sig
nal to start was KwyKy. The Vigilant was
the first to cross the hnu'and she was closely
followed by the Jaulhovand ? Colonla , These
wore the only star.crs ; the Pilgrim having
broken the jaws oriHWAaff bolorj the start
and withdrawn from tiieraco. A twenty-mllo
breeze was blowing .from the southeast and
the boa wus moderately rough , Five minutes
after the start It was'n.icod ( ? . | that Jubilee's
main mast did not look exactly right. "She's
broliun thu outer blouk.jOf her gaff , " said an
Oracle. A moment Iftyr the Jubilee swung
around and started back' for Now York like
u crippled pigeon. This loft the contest between -
tween iho Horeshoff bouts , und it was evi
dent that tlio wind und weather wcro too
much for the Boston bloops.
The Vigilant and Colonift were standing
off on different tacks. Through glasses , the
crews of the two vessels could bo seen cling

Colonla lay over far more than the Vigilant
and seemed to hammer the ca moro , but
she moved Hire a ghofct.
"She's holding her own , " said everybody.
So she was , for not uu apparent Inch hud

There were no stroaus of wiud or llukes

Vigilant hud burrowed her wuy up into the
wind , leaving the Colonla a ijuarter of a

five minutes luter.

Interested just now in the question of
time money nnd there is a decided
variety of opinion on the subject. A
well known nnd conservative broker
today euld :
"Timo money is undoubtedly now in
sight nnd call money promises to bo
easy is , in fact , fnlrly onsy now. Of
course money will not bo a drug in the
market until the clearing house certifi
cates nro retired , but tlio time when
their retirement will bo begun is evi
dently not very far distant.
Many things are combining now
to mnko money plentiful tthmil-
tnnootmly with the repeal of the
Sherman law. Superfluous currency is
being returned from the west. Tlio
country banks , too , nro much bettor prepared -
pared to provide money for the move
ment of crops. Consequently the de
mands on tlio banks of this city for
money to rnovo the crops is likely to bo
much lighter than usual. That is shown
by the fuel that the banks report this
week a very slight demand for redis
counts. Then , too , the banks in the
Now England and Middle Btntea are
finding that , they have no use for their
large supplies of cash on hand nnd are
tirinpr of keeping so much money lying
idle. Under the law they are
permitted to keep part of
their reserve on deposit with approved
reserve agents , and they nro tnking nrt-
vantugo of that provision again to send
money to this city and receive interest
on it. The savings banks arc also find
ing they hnvo moro money on hand than
they are likely to need , and much of tliat
will quickly lind its way back to tlio
banks. Exchange between Now York
nnd tho'Icnding cities is becoming nor
mal again , and the business blockade is
thorofo'ro practically over , so that every
indication points to money being very
plentiful in thistly in n very short
time. The banks have practically all
pot their legal reserve , and aa their de
posits increase , no doubt , tlio loan cer
tificates will bo retired. "

IN THE WOMAN'S BUILDING ,
It U rhoro n Mnn l Mncln to Feel HU
Utter InMRnlllrniice.
Somebody had been calling the atten
tion of the wife of the maharajnh of
Knpnrthala to objects of special interest
at Jackson park. "So that is the
Woman's building , " she said , as the
great white structure wns pointed out to
her. "Do they allow men inside its
walls ? "
The question is nmusinp in itself , says
the Chicago - llccord , and yet
a great big interrogation mark
of tlio same kind lias ap
peared before the blurred visions of a
thousand men who have paused at its
threshold.
It cannot fall of notice Hint the man
who wanders through the Woman's
building scorns invariably embarrassed
and ill ut caso. If ho go alone ho looks
conscience-stricken , glancing furtively
about us if expecting to bo ejected. lie
doesn't allow himself to become deeply
interested in anything and when ho lin-
ally reaches the brouv.o statue of
Leif Erlcson at the west portal ho feels
relieved.
Naturally enough , the married man
accompanied by his wife shrivels into
iiisignillcanco in this atmosphere ! Ho
becomes merely the husband of the
woman and looks on meekly ns she
makes thu rounds. 11 o feels about II
years old and 3 foot ? inches in height.
He may have boon always the self-asser

Yes , the women njlow men inside the

of things they can't encourage such in
