VALUABLE ONLY AS A CURIOSITY
Mnkri Up In Heticrnl Cnmnilncm Wlint Ho
Lack * In LrRH-IIli Mauler's Inven
tion to Amlit the Ilruto'i
Locomotion.
Mr , Simpson , who lives at the corner of
Bcnton street and Washington avenue , has
a dog who has never had but two legs and has
no prospects of getting any more. Ho Is a
colllo shepherd , 3 years old , and has ono of
the most active brains and vicious dispositions
to be found tn the- cast end ot the city. Both
the legs are nt his southern end. The joints
of the front legs nro perfectly formed , but
they stop right there. Sometimes ho walks
upright , like a man , but most of the time he
walks along on his legs and breast , resem
bling somewhat a kangaroo , but lacking the
speed sometimes attained by those animals.
He will fight anything In sight. His con
stitutional Infirmity prevents him from leapIng -
Ing at a man's throat , but ho will com
mence at his feet and chew him all the way
up. This unhappy disposition has prevented
him making many friendships outsldo his
own family , but ho nevertheless has had a
good many callers. Simpson has undertaken
to do for his pet what nature left undone ,
and Is having a wheel mode to help him In
propelling his front end. The wheel will
have a saddle attached , nnd the saddle will
bo strapped about his shoulders. When his
"unlcyclo" Is finished nnd fastened to him
his facilities for cheulng his friends will be
greatly Increased , and his list of acquaint
ances greatly widened.

The ladles of St. Bernard's hospital an
nounced yesterday that they had perfected
arrangements to moro than double the slzo
of the Institution. The work of excavation
will commence this week. The new buildIng -
Ing will be more than as largo again as the
present entire plant. It will have a frontage
ot eighty feet on Frank street and sixty on
Harmony , and will be located Just north of
the present building. It will be four stories
high , with a basement. Mother Vincent had
the medical advisory board In consultation
with her yesterday afternoon for the pur
pose of determining Just what the physicians
want In the way of an operating ; room. They
were given carte blanche and will have the
finest modern operating room In the west.
It will be 20x20 feet , composed wholly of
glass , Including floors , walls and celling. The
operating room proper will bo a much
smaller apartment , and will be surrounded
by an amphitheater cut off from It by glass ,
where spectators may witness an operation
without Interfering with the operators. The
basement will bo above ground and will con
tain'the general kitchen , storage rooms , bath
rooms , toilets and the like. The first floor
will be devoted to the vestibule , reception
rooms , parlors and the hospital department.
The second floor will comprise the operating
room , which will have two special rooms
connected with It , one for the reception room
of patients , the other the etherization room.
The third floor will contain general apart
ments and the sisters' chapel. The fourth
floor will not be finished this season , but will
bo nearly a duplicate of the third. The en
tire building will furnish
seventy-five addi
tional rooms and wards. When complete It
will cost between $30,000 and $40,000. The
sisters have devised their own plans , and
they will be submitted to the architect this
week. The boiler plant Is In the rear 'of the
building , and In a separate building of its
own. The newt wing will be separated from
the present building by an area way ten feet
wide , connected above the second story. The
work of construction will be pushed through
as rapidly as possible , and. the building will
bo completed and ready for occupancy the
coming summer.

Arthur B. Tremalno , also known as L.
Kdwln Sinclair , the theatrical man who was
arrested a few days ago on an Information
filed charging him with committing a felon
ious assault upon James Harris of car-burg
lary fame , had n preliminary hearing in
Justice Vlen's court yesterday. Harris was
there , but the court said that his testimony
would have very little weight as long as It
was uncorroborated by any other evidence ,
for ho had a criminal record that was alto
gether too long. Tremalne told his story
and convinced the court that It was true ,
and ho was discharged.
During the day the chief of police received
a telegram from a man In Des Molncs , who
signed his name as "J. J. Simpson , " stating
that Tremalne was In reality a woman mas
querading In men's clothing. The chief
called on him nt the Jail and found htm with
a three-days' growth of grayish stubble on
his face , his teeth covered with tobacco
stains , and with other characteristics usually
considered masculine. He convinced the
chief that the letter was false. He left for
St. Joseph last evening , having secured a
position In ono t > f the museums as spe
cialty man. _ _

effect Immediately.

Klilcr Oman Jlytlo Wni the IMttnr nnil Ho
of , n 1'nictlcnl 1'hll-
oioplicr Method * of CourUhlp
mill MurrliiRC ,
Elder Orson I lily o bears the distinction of
being the first newspaper editor who ever
Installed an odlco cat In Council DHifTs , or , as
It was then known , Kauesvllle. It Is many
years since ha has gone to a better land , where
printers' devils , coupons , prize pumpkins
and monthly duns arc unknown , but In the
early flies of The Frontier Guardian , which
are now In the possession of E. Huntlngton
of this city , he has left a monument which
might bo envied by some of the newspaper
men who have rehashed tariff editorials
and dodged the silver question In these later
years.
There Is but llttlo Information to bo had
concerning the personality of Klder Hyde ,
for most of his friends went out , as they
came In , with the tide of Mormon Immigra
tion , but between the lines of his writing
can bo seen Indications that he was the oracle -
clo of the town ; his word was law ; his ad
vice came a good deal cheaper than that of
a lawyer and was followed even more 1m-
pllclty ; his curse would send his victim shiv
ering with dread out of the synagogue and
his editorial mention of Urothcr So and So's
store would fill Hrother So and So with a
feeling of sweet security and send the cus
tomers flocking to drop their half dollars
Into his strong box. All In all Elder Hyde
occupleJ a very enviable position In the llt
tlo town , secure from libel suits , and , so far
as can bo learned , having very little else to
fear , unless It should be the trusty six
shooter of some of the toughs and disrepu
tables who lived In Council Bluffs In those
days.
BinTH OF THE GUARDIAN.
The Frontier Guardian started out In 1849
as a semi-monthly publication , Issued from
a llttlo log hut which stood across the street
from where the Broadway Methodist church
now stands , but was replaced many years ago
by a larger building bearing the number
101 Broadway. In his prospectus Editor
Hyde announce : } that he should not enter
the ( fold of political strife and contention ,
but should use his best energies to put the
man In power who should best represent the
editor's views. The columns of his paper
should bo devoted to astronomy , the signs
of the times , the prophecy , the arts and
sciences , religion and the public schools. Ho
said but little about news , and the later edi
tions of the paper < 3o not Indicate that he
had any great ambition to excel In that
line.
"Keep a close mouth , " said ho In one of
his "news notes , " "In. the presence of him
that Is curious to Know all the particulars
of your affairs , " arid It Is probably due to
the fact that hla subscribers accepted his
dictum and kept Jbelc , mouths shut in the
presence of the reporter that the columns
of the Guardian arc slnjgulary free from sen
satlons.
As the keeper of the" public morals Editor
Hyde was at his best , although there are
numerous lndlcatl6iia'-'tiU ! ; he found it no
small task to keep1 hls'friends pegging away
at the Ten Commandments and remember
ing ' ! to love their pwn wives better than
those of their ncle boijs. A Mr. Thompson ,
who kept a grocery , grig shop and gambling
house , was an especial thorn in the sldo ol
the good editor. * '
THREATENED WITH DEATH.
One day when business was a little dull' ,
Mr. Thompson closed up his place and went
to attend a revival meeting that wag In pro
gress up near Pigeon creek. When ho came
back he found " that some one bad gajnyd
an entrance"and'had cledtied out the"place. .
All traces of his stock of groceries , bo'h
wet and dry , and his apparatus for keeping
the money In circulation , had disappeared.
The proprietor of the place evidently liaa a
large suspicion that Editor Hyde was In
some way responsible for this master stroke
at purifying the public morals , and lie made
numerous threats about what ho would do
If reparation were not forthcoming at onctv
Among other things he said he would bring
In a company of Sioux Indians and show
the people of Kanesvlllo what this cleaning
out process was like when It was- carried tea
a conclusion.
Editor Hyde's only reply was through the
columns of this Kanesvlllo Thunderer. He
called attention to the fact that Thompson
had kept a place where drunkenness and
gambling on th" Sabbath day were notorious
"Some of the members of our church have
been drawn Into your snare and been Inducec
to get drunk and gamble for money on the
Sabbath. They have confessed their sin an <
offered to get down on their knees If we wll
only forgive them. "
Thompson's threat to bring In the Sioux
Indians did not alarm him , for at the close
of a philippic that must have wrung Thomp
son's soul , If It was subject * to bslng wrung
ho suggested that he follow the rest of his
friends and go out to the gold diggings , where
ho might get killed and do his fellow men
a good turn. History does not relate whether
the advice was taken , but Thompson's name
drops out of sight suddenly.
AS TO THE GOLD FEVER ,
The paper contains many Illusions to the
gold fever which was setting the tide of Immigration -
migration westward , and one Item conveys
the information that some real estate man
with more acres than conscience started
boom In clay banks by circulating the report
that gold had been discovered In the bluffs
around Kanesvllle. This boom was uncere
moniously nipped In the bud by Editor Hyde ,
who gave It as "our opinion" that It was all
a fake , although ho did not use language as
undignified as that.
The postal service was another thing that
bothered Editor Hyde. Ho did not have any
trouble so serious as having to put gumless
stamps on his letters , but the postmasters
along the route would persist in an unpleas
ant habit of theirs , stealing the money that
the letters contained. One Saturday he re
ceived three letters saying : "Enclosed fine :
$1.GO for a year's subscription to your great
and good paper , " but there was no money
enclosed. . He suggested that wherever possi
ble money should be eeni from friends abroac
by private conveyance , and breathed a fervcnl
prayer that the new administration woulc
appoint an honest man postmaster , if such a
thing were among ths possibilities. And sub
sequent developments showed that his prayer
was answered , for the new administration
soon sent Editor Hyde himself a nice parch
ment commission.i i >
WERE STANDING TOGETHER.
The same old doctrine of patronizing home
Industries which has'caused , Elder Hyde's
successors in the Cpuncll Bluffs newspaper
field so much pain was drummed relentlessly
Into the Inhabltants-of-KanesvllIe. Omnha , o
course , had not then been heard of , and the
ladles did not have.a , chance to buy their dry
goods In anothcrjlptaje. In fact , the enl ;
advantage the Inaiahjterrltory , which then
Included I Nebraska , Jiad over the Hawkeye
state was In the jrqstrlmonlal line , but this
ono branch of commerce was largely patron
Ized on the west bank of the Big Muddy ,
The Iowa law coiilrfinfed some very strlngen
provisions , and , In. fact , it was Impossible
for a man who hart already had one or more
wives to Increase his 'Stock on hand wlthou
rendering himself tllV'e ' to prosecution.
This little difficulty ) was easily clrcum
vented , however , by merely crossing Into th
Indian territory , wlttre the law was inor
elastic in its nature , and the expense wa
considerably ' less.
"The Idea of crossing the river to get mar
rled , " said the Guardian , "In order to uvoli
expense or the penalty for breaking th
Iowa law , is all nonsense. It Is true , yoi
may have expense and trouble , but you ma ;
set the time In the future when you wouli
give thousands of dollars to be able to prov
a legal marriage , BO that you might becom
heirs to large estates In this country or I
England. "
SOMETHING OF A I'HILOSOI'HKR.
Editor Hyde was a practical philosopher
who knew that his readers were long o
business sense if they were somewhat shor
on moralt , and knew fuey would find les
food for thought In the puestlon , "Is I
right ; ? " than in the more Important one
"Will It pay ? "
One day a halo of gore appeared In the airy
and took Its place directly over the Guardla
office. Whether the difficulty arose from th
fact that the editor had been trying to mak
a delinquent subscriber pay In cash Instea
ol rotten potatoes dcea not appear , but a
It events one M. H. Clark wrote a personM
cttcr to Orron Hyde , In which lie said that
e heard It Inthnntcd that "icvcral ot u
nust die by the hand of your people , I want
distinctly understood that I shnll hold
oa personally responsible for the lives ot
ny and all my friends , and that c\cry drop
' gentle blood shall be atoned for by double
he amount of blood of tl-ose high In the
ounclls of the Latter Day Saints churcU. "
nj In Ills reply the editor denied having any
ntentlon of nailing Brother Clark's scalp to
iis masthead , and made the tame suggestion
s he had made earlier In the year to
Irothcr ) Thompson , the gambling house
eepcr , that Is , that hp. go and Join the gold
Iggcrs ,
SUCCEEDED BY TUB BUGLE.
The Guardian was a religions organ rather
han a newspaper. It uns succeeded a few
ears later by the Council Bluffs Bugle ,
dltcd and published by J. E , Johnson. Only
no copy Is In the possession of
Ir. Huntlngton but that
ono con-
olns evidence that Johnson thought moro of
ie good things of this world than did good
.dltor Hyde. Hu devotes a half column In
lie editorial department to an account of
our visit last night to a country gahcrlng
few miles north of the city. The full moon
mlled encouragingly upon "our" Intention to
'o , and "we" soon ran across a cabin In a
eautlful valley. There had been quilting for
lie ladles during the day and mowing for
lie "gents. " Editor Johnson , however , true
o his journalistic Instincts , steered clear of
lie mowing and quilting and blushed upon
lie scene about the time supper was ready.
Us appetite needed no artificial whetting by
lard work , but he managed to hold his own
cry gracefully with those who had devoted
heir afternoon to utilitarian pursuits , while
ho had been holding down a store box In the
lorner grocery and discussing the questions
if the day.
After the pancakes and doughnuts had
iesn disposed of a space 6x6 was cleared on
'he cabin floor nnd dancing was Indulged In.
The soft , rhythmical measures of "Jim Crow"
and the "Virginia Reel" set the editor's
lead to whirling , and as ho looked out
hrough the window and saw here nnd there
wo forms that looked like one sitting under
he trees , with the leaves shedding just
nough soft moonlight to disclose the fact
hat the two forms were doing the "still
valtz , " an Irresistible Impulse seized him
o do likewise. As he himself confesses ,
orbiting "ourself" to be a married man ,
we" unfortunately found "ourself" hugging
some of the girls , and did penance by tcar-
ng "ourself" away from the scene of enjoy-
nent.
In the advertising columns of the Bugle
ore found some names familiar to residents
of Council Bluffs today. A. V. Larimer nnd
V. C. James , attorneys-nt-law , had business
cards Inserted , and Johnson & Casady were
'
'n the real estate and law business. The
lunlor member of the firm has been well
cnown to a later generation as the late Judge
J. P. Casady. Royal D. Amy kept a store
hen , as now , and In those days used to ad
vertise. Huntlngton & Pyper have a card
announcing that they sold boots and shoes ,
roccrles , sheet music and violin firings.
The senior member was the father of E.
Huntlngton , nnd the Junior an uncle ofVll -
lam Pyper of the Council Bluffs Savings
jank.

SIOUX CITY , April 27.-Speclal ( Tele

city was house cleaning and concealed $3,000
worth of Jewelry in some safe plnce , Just
where , she cannot remember. When she
looked for It today It could not be found
The police believe It was stolen. They have
no clew to work on and have slight hops
of recovering the property.
An order was Issued by the district court
today for the arrest of Alderman H. H
Johnson. Johnson was administrator of the
estate of Abel Moe. Several months ago
Moe's widow secured nn order requiring
Johnson to make a report to the court.
Johnson has neglected to comply with the
order , and today the sheriff was directed
to attach his body and bring It Into court
to show cause why he should not be pun
ished ' ! for contempt.
The sheriff late this evening took John
son Into custody.
lo v Mlv-T Democrats Active.
DES MOINES , April 27.-Speciol ( Tele
gram. ) It Is very probable that the action
of the democratic conference this week In
declaring1 against the free coinage of silver
does not end the matter so far ns the demo
cratic party in Iowa is concerned. The
silver people are dlssatlslled and are mak
ing arrangements to call a conference of
silver democrats alone to meet here early
In May. The object will be to make ar
rangements for carrying the county con
ventions so as to sweep the state conven
tion In favor of silver ; also to place the
state organization of the party in the hands
of "new men" sound silver democrats
as one of them said to a reporter. There
la likely to be some fun during the summer
in the democratic ranks.

Mrs. Sarah J. Tuttle , 402J North 33rd

lias a wide acquaintance throughout the

Mrs. Sarah J. Tuttle , 4023 North Mnl street.
"IL Is a good many years since I began
to ffel out of health , ami my symptoms
have been so many that It Is hard to give
them all. .My stomach was the ilr.-U tn
suffer from constitutional catarrh. 1 had
a horrible dyspepsia that kept me In a
constant distress and prevented the proper
digestion of food. After a time a kidney
affection appeared , which seemed to be the
cause of my blouil and system filling up
with poisons. I suite red much with heart
disturbance and nervous weakness , wakefulness -
fulness ami general prostration. In fact ,
my whole sybtem seemed to be going to
pieces.
"I was In the same boot with many oth
ers , having chronic troubles , who need
competent medical help , but can't afford
to pay big fees and drug bills. I went to
Urs. Copeland and Shejmrd , who treated
me with such success that my health Is
practically restored. My digestion Is ex
cellent ; the healthful action of the kidneys
Is restored , and I feel that I am iwrma-
nently relieved of my serloim condition. I
am now 07 years old , and am thoroughly
enjoying my regained health. "

"In my case the bronchliil nnd nsthmatlo

which spread downward tlnough the lungs ,
placing the nlr passages In n chronic state
of . .u .
Inflammatory contraction , causing a
sense of hoot and porencfs throughout the
chest , making It dllllcult or painful to
breathe. I had spells of romixirntlve real
from the xoreness anil distress , but even
then I dlil not brenthe with natural full-

little- exertion the air passages would seem
to close tight and threaten me with death
from suffocation.
"Kevcry winter I became worse , and my
