The nnest body or Ice In this county covers
the broad surface or Lake Ianawa at the
Present time. The delightful lay yesterday
anti the , , knowlellge at this tact threw 'u. a great
crowe of people down there. The additional
attraction of n n\'e'lle skating race between
a local flyer and an Omaha champion swelled
the . croll during the afternoon . and there
wnf a continuous procession of carriages
headed for the lake until late In the after-
nOon. Never at any time during the past
ten years has the Ice approached the absolute I
perrectol or the present season For the :
first time It froze all the way across 01 a
atihi . coM night , when there was not wInd
enough to make a nipple on the surface The
result Is n sheel of ghassy , hickory ice , without -
out spot or blemish , amid lol a hummock any-
where. No snow of any consequence has
fallen since the treeze-up , anti , that little scur-
ned across the glassy surface only little
Ilatches here and there remalllng , only the
fraction or an Inch In depth , ali offering no
obstruction to the keenest pair of skates.
There are only two or three air holes In all
the miles or surface , all they are near the
easter end , where some large springs are
boiling lii ) . These conditions male something
like a Illrallse for skaters , and all who were
there yesterday enjoyed Il to the fullest ex-
tent. Scores of bicycles ! were on the ice . all
some or the world's records for speed were
said to have been broken. With careful balancing -
anclng and straightaway riding there was no
danger or the rubber.tred vehicles slipping ,
and there were some exciting raceG on the
smoothest and finest track a bicycle wheel
ever touclued An Iceboat , with 100 square
) yards or sail . set the pace , and there were
some magnificent races for wheel and skate .
1'hc splendid , , condition of the Immense body
or lee and the great enthusiasm of the big
crowd thal found its way there yesterday II
all sorts of vehicles has caused Colonel Heed
to make prepartons to start UII his motor
trains , altl 11 necessary orders were given
by him last night. As the crossings are out
on the Iock Island , Milwaukee and Wabash
tracks . Il will take a couple or days to re-
place them and get the track In order for
regular trains. This will b dOle by Wed-
nesllay evening , and Manawa wi be opened
for the first time In its history lS a wInter
pleasure resort. Colonel Reed will Illuminate
the whole lake front heat the buildings at
bite ends or the pavlion and make I generally -
ally comfortable for pleasure seekers. The
tact that Ice has frozen so smoothly will
make It sure that good skatng will be
afforded all winter notwlthslam11ng future
snow storms. In ordinary snow storms , with
the high winds that usually accompany them ,
the snow will find no chance for a lodgment
on the smooth surface and It a wet snow
falls a large portIon or the surface will bo
swept and kept clear. The lanlltln beach
people are willing to )011 ) ( Colonel Heed and
get up some big Ice caniivals. ! Possibly an
Ic palace will be among bite attractions , but
toboggan slides and other simIlar means for
affording enjoyment will be provIded. The
moonlIght nights , which wi be a feature
for the next week or more and the miles of
Ice wIll be sufficient to attract great crowds
al the start. 'ednesdry e\nln ! Colonel
Reed will have n banl or muslo and the
skaters can keep time to the strains ot their
most popular waltz. A popular feature will
be that everythIng at the lake front will bo
free , and the gates or the Grand Plaza
thrown open to the multItude. Skating par-
ties will be the fad for the next few weeks.

W. J. Davenport , the local freight agent for

amount that would ordinarily be . spent In
carrying on their services to blue poor of the
city than by opening theIr doors once a week
to the sleek \el.tetl people , who generally
go ta church. Title proposiion has brought

o'clok. after tottering on the brink of death
for more than a week. The put lwo or
three days he had hardly ben conscious at :
all , and the end came peacerul ) ' .
Ir Jelerlo was born In Newcastle county .
near Wilmington , Del. , February 10 , 1828.
On his father's side he wn descended tam
an ancestor who came acres with Wiiam
Icnn , anti , on his mother's from WIlliam Van-
Ilevecr , who was burled In IG59 In the old
' wll ! burial ground near Wilmington . lie
received his early education at Kennett
Square , near Ihlatlelphla , and was In the

In 18:3 , and opened n ! wml In what
h now the northwestern part or
the city. lie bough 320 acres or land for
the timber that was on I. Giving this up
ho purchased 1,000 acres or land lear Smith-
land , In Ionona oounty . and wenl Into the
buslnen of raisIng stock Later on he went
into the real estate business In this city , anti
platted several Rldltcns , tlC or which , Jef-
r rls' sub , bears hI name. Several years
were passed In mining out west and he had (
all lot. the vicissItudes that fall to bite tuber's
lot.A bClt the year 188G his son.ln.law , Pin ley
Burke , commenced loklng lP the tithe to the
tmber lan,1 , northwest of the city. In the
years that hall pas3ld since ho had closed imp
hL sawmill Dr. Jelerls had nearly forgotten
that he hal , any claim on the land , anti supPosed -
Posed that whatever title ho had once had
had been burled Olt or sight long before
The land was considered PractIcallY god for
nothing , anyway. After n proper mnount or
investIgatIon had ben gone through with I
was found that he had a clear tle to forty
acres , and I caIm of some strength on the
other 2S0. lIe gave a quit claim deed tf the
East Omha Land company transferring to
them the 280 acres and received $3GOO for
it. For thc forty acres to which his title
was good ho received $50.000 In spot cash ,
and was unexpecledly made IndeNndent for
the rest or his life.
Dr. Jeferis took an active part In building
up Omaha , as well as Council Bluffs , and It
was largely due to his efforts that In platting
the former city blue street were made so
wide. Alhough he was a man or firm opin-
ions he granted other the same rIght to
their beliefs that he claimed for himself .
Thorn was never I spark or malIce In his

The sliver dollar of 1794 , wIth the head of

n decIsion his been rendered by Judge Car-
penter of the United States circuit court de-
daring that the Berliner telenhon" ! tent
mutt be decreed null Ill void , the telpho I
monopoly Is nt an end While the extrnor-
Ilnar ) ' skill with which the busIness Inter-
eats and the alleged unbent rights of this
monopoly has seemed to have been so IU-
rected as to maIntain for. the company this
Berliner patent , nevertheless the suspicion !
was arolsll n little while ago tbat this :
energy was after all In the nature or a blind.
The Berliner patent , which Is Important In
the transmission' or I telephonlo message ,
has because of these ltgtons and contesl
ben conspicuous whereas certaIn other pat-
ents hlve been but little heard of , Some
things indicate thal It has been the purpose
ot the telephone moncpoly so to direct these !
ltgatons as to force Itenton to the Berliner
patent and to cause bite cthers to be o\'er- :
looked. o'er:1 :1
The fact Is blunt the patents upon which
the tllephone monopoly mosty relied for the
malntenlnce of their exclusIve privileges
were ones commonly called blue EdIson ml-
crollhono patents , and the opinion Is that
White these patents or mechanisms are neces-
sary for the commercial use or the Berlner
patent , on the other hand the Berlner Inven-
tons are not Ibsolute ! necessary for the
commercial use or the Edison patents. In
other words , I the Berliner Inventions should
be made tree to every one , nevrtheless the
telephone monopoly would be able to maintain
its superior advantages by reason or Its control -
trol of the Edison palents.
These Elson patents , were Issued about a
year and n half ago and there are rcur or
thienu But although the date or Issuing Is so
recent as that , nevertheless the patents were
applied for nearly sIxteen years before they
were gramited They represent : Ir. Edison's
especial aellevements ) In telellhone invention.
In them Is contained whatever or meri Is
duo to Edison as an original Inventor In con-
necton with the telephone. 'fhe tune bias so
Icng past since bite controversy was first
raised that It Is now almost forgoten that In
1S7G.7 there was a great dispute throughout
the country whether Del or Edison had right
to claim originalIty or Inventon at that In-
strument. Mr. Edison lt thut tme was
under contract with the great telegraph monopoly .
nopoly and he was therefore compelled to
turn over 10 It all of his Inventions which
depended In any way upon the use or elec-
trlctty. In pursuance or that contrlct he de-
Ivere to the telegraph monopJly his tele-
Ilhone In\entons , ami a company was organIzed .
Izcd and controlled by the larger capitalists
who were also In control or the telegraph
monopoly. A very fierce competition was at
once begun , and as a great , deal of money
was behind both the EdIson and Del companies -
panics , the contests thratened to be very
costly , amid , every bUJness man saw thal It
could only eml lu comp mlso. Thil coat-
promise was finally effected ! , the telegraph
monopoly making an arrangement . by which
It would withdraw from the telephone busi-
ness and also the use at nil , the patents and
advantages whIch had accrued to the Edison
company. ,
Among these privileges were the patents
which were applIed for by Edison as long ago
09 18i. and for the microphne transmItter.
That was an invention which , made the tele-
phone commercially a val lcr . . The Del peo-
plo had used the simple tbellke ; , Instrument
both for receiving and transmitting . the
patent for whIch expired 'tyoor ' three years
ago. Edison's invention 'calred \ the voIce

The scientific prInciple adopted by both the
BerlIner and the Edison Instruments are too
technIcal and Involved to bo explained In a
runnIng report. They are similar In some
things , but very different In others.
TIE lONOPOL Y'S CUNNING.
Some four weeks ago the Press contained
a report or a very remarkable case which
was being heard before the supreme court
of the United States. On Its face It was a
litigation Involving the validIty or a patent
for a butcher's refrigerator. The amount or
money Involved In the case was less than
$500 , and the orIginal record or the case less '
than four pages. Yet when this case was
brought Into the circuit court there were
found representing the plaintiff some of the
ablest lawyers In this country and the briefs
that they presentel covered some SOO pges.
When the case was taken to the supreme
court for argument In November these same
lawyers appeared , and upon the other side
an equally strong array of counsel. These
counselors represented really the great Inter-
eats of thC Del telephone and other colossal
business Interests whIch are opposed to a
contnuance or the Del patents There was
James C. Carter the leader of the New
York bar : ex-Judgo MItchell , formerly pat-
ent conunuissiotuer and Mr. Storrow a very
able patent lawyer who has been now for
some years exclusively employed by the Del
people. On the other side were Wheeler H.
Peclhal , Etmul1 Wetmore ex.Secretary at
the Treasury Bristcw and three or tour
othuers representing different Interests , but
11 engaged In a common cause The Press
then told how the telepholil Interests had absorbed -
sorbed this little refrigerator case , because
the principle Involved In It was precisely !
similar to the vIew which bite Bel people
took of their rights Then It was made ap-
parent that what was lught was a decision
or the supreme eurl , which , without going
Inlo tint technicaltes or the question , would
result In the extension of these Edison ml-
crophon" patents untIl the year 1909. Then
It was made plain to business men , who have
watched these things with close Interest that
It was nol the BerlIner patent thlt the tele-
phone monoply was so anxious about as the
Edison microphone patents , and that the
posseilon ot these patents Is the key to
the permanence or theIr monopoly until 1909.
I the supreme court shouhl construe the
law as Mr , Carter presented It In the ostensl-
blo refrhgerator case then the telephone monopolY -
nopolY will enjoy for fourteen years more
an Imllrtanl patent privilege whch : they
have already enjoyed for eighteen years.
Very likely the decIsIon In the Berliner case
will be appaled , but ater fill I may not
be , sInce these Edison 113tft questions are
now before the supreme ! court under disguise
and I decision upon them , .wl be reached
probably before argument CGul1 he had upon
the BerlIner case I bite decision Is against
the telephone company's'vlew , , then blue Der-
liner patent Is of no partcular value to that
corpratlon ; If the supreme court decides
that the Edison patent runs from 1893 , the
tIme It was issued , Instead or from bIte dale
or Its apllcatou , then agilimi the Jerlner
patent Is of no especial C T8equence. since

I Is very Illaln that the telephone peple I
expect , however , their I gr'eatest protection '
from their enormous plant and command of
facilities . Thin recent , \ ncase or stock Is

years the company will lave pvery considerable -

Is going to do a very profitable buslnesl.
The use of long Clstano Instruments between
New York and Boston , Phiadelphia , Wash-
Ingten and even Chicago and Milwaukee has
Increased very rapidly within the past year.
Stl , there will be created a very great num-
