NEWS FROM COUNCIL BLUFFS
Formers Near Orescent Think Their Fruit
Drops Ruined.
ATTRIBUTED TO THE HOT WINDS
'
Joseph Abal Is Satisfied Friday Nights
1'rost Ilnil Nothing to Do with
Apple Muds In
Ills Vicinity.
Joseph Abel , a farmer living near Crescent ,
was In the city yesterday exhibiting a sprig
off an apple tree which he says Is a fair
sample of the way things are looking In his
vicinity. The buds , which had just begun
to take on the fruit form , were blackened
and withered , and on consulting with his
neighbors he found that nearly all their
apple and plum trees were In that condition ,
Ho attributed the fact to the hot winds and
thought the recent frosts had nothing to do
with It. All his hope of a big fruit crop has
gone glimmering.
The frost Friday night did but little dam
age , so far as can bo ascertained. In this
Immediate vicinity. Spencer Smith had all
his preparations to give Jack Frost a tussle
If he should make his appearance. Ho had
the low places on his farm cast of the city
loaded up with dry brush wood , nnd at the
first sign of a frost had planned to apply
the torch. Abel had laid his plans 'n ' the
same way , but neither of them had nesd to
carry them Into execution. The frnst did
not touch the highlands , and on the lower
ground was very light. At several places In
the city , however , the weather was cold
enough to cause water to freeze the thick
ness of ordinary window glass.

OPPOSITION TO Tin : FKKKV SCHEME
Ircnr tlntt Morn Direct Communication
with boiith Omaha Mill Divert Trade.
The meeting which wai held in South
Omaha Friday night for the purpose of tak
ing steps toward the establishment of a
steam ferry line to Manawa has developed
no small opposition among the people of Coun
cil Bluffs. In this case the fight will be. In
all probability , between the people of Omaha
and Council Bluffs on one side , and South
Omaha and the farmers of western Potta
wattamle county on the other , and there Is
considerable doubt as to whether the party
of the first part will be able to throw enough
cold water on the scheme to put It out.
The South Omaha people want the farmers
to grade and keep In repair for a term of
years a road running from the east shore
of the lake , just north of Manawa , about
a mile In length. This , with the ferry , will
give the farmers direct access to the packing
houses of South Omaha , and will cut off
about nine miles of their present roundabout
way. At present the farmers have to pass
through both Council Bluffs and Omaha , goIng -
Ing and returlng , and generally manage to
drop some of their cash at the stores of
both cities. If the plan of the people of
South Omaha ! s carried Into execution both
cities will be left out In the cold , and the
stores of South Omaha will receive the bene
fit.
"It will be very hard to convince the farm
ers that It will not be for their Interest to
have the new road opened up and the ferry
established , " said E , H. Odell of the Mer
chants' and Manufacturers' association of this
city yesterday. "Our association will cer
tainly fight the proposition as hard as we
can , although what we can do more than to
use moral suasion with the farmers I do not
know. "
In this fight Mr. Odell will occupy a two
fold position , being president of the Mer
chants' and Manufacturers association and
the chief owner and proprietor of Manhattan
beach. In the former capacity he may , of
course , be expected to oppose the ferry
scheme , but as a private citizen and prop
erty owner he cannot be blamed very much
If he regards with pleasure any move that
will Increase the attendance at Manawa and
Manhattan beach. He states , however , that
the Increase In the size of the South Omaba
contingent at the lake would be so small
that he feels his patriotism rising to the
emergency , and he will help the association
do all It can to prevent the ferry from be
ing put Into operation.

I'orgrnvoii' liraln Win I' By.
Lloyd Forgraves was asked to tell what he
knew about there being gambling at the Man
hattan saloon on Broadway yesterday morn-
Ing. William Crlssman , his friend , was like
wise Invited to tell what he ! : new about It.
Judge McGce was the Interlocutor , but both
of them had pains In their recollectorles and
had as little as possible to say.
Forgraves was having a hearing in police
court on the charge of disturbing the peace.
His frlenJ Crlssman had paid a midnight
visit to Judge McGee , so the latter said , and
was filled with righteous Indignation to think
that gambling should bo permitted In Council
Bluffs. He told the Judge that he and For
graves Intended to see that John Scheffler's
place was closed before daylight , because
Forgraves had lost $2 bucking the tiger. But
when Crissman was put upon the stand yes
terday mornlg he had lost all his Indignation ,
and his story was so much modified from
that told the preceding evening that Judge
McGeo's curiosity was considerably aroused.
Ho propounded a large number of questions
to Crlssman , but the answers displayed an
Ignorance so dense that even the judge was
obliged to give It up as a bad job. Ho Im
posed a fine of $16.40 on Forgraves for dis
turbing the peace , and so long as the present
feeling of amity exists between the city offl-
lals and the gamblers there will probably be
lathing more done about the case.
In Forgraves' pocket , when anested , was
ound a letter from a girl at Vail , la. No
ame was signed , but Its contents indicated
hat she had been * staying at the house of a
hlcken raiser , and that she had become In-
Imate with Forgravea. Tiiere were some
'oferences to - an extended visit to
ouncll Bluffs , and an operation she
xpected to have performed when she got
here. The police arc searching for more
Ight on this feature of the case.

ICinniliintlon No Letter to the Sec
retary Until After Monday.
The South Omaha Live Stcck exchange
held a special meeting yesterday afternoon
: o hear the report of the committee appointed
o draft a reply to the letter to Secretary
lorton of the Department of Agriculture re
garding the competency of the Inspectors
ccently appointed by Mr. Morton. U was
'xpected ' that In the face of Secretary Mor
on's letter denying that he had appointed
nen as Inspectors for purely political rea-
ions a rather emphatic letter would bo sent
o the secretary of agriculture In reply , but
such was not the case. The committee re
ported as follows :
"We have heard a great many complaints
n a general way regarding the Incompctency
of the government live stock Inspectors.
There U no doubt in our minds that there
is room for Improvement In the present In
spection force at these "yards. We would sug
gest that , Inasmuch as civil service rules are
soon to take place In this department , this
exchange requests Secretary Morton to re
quire the present Inspectors to undergo the
examination. "
The report of the committee was adopted ,
but Secretary Lott was Instructed not to
forward the resolutions of the exchange to
Mr. Morton until after the meeting of the
exchange on Monday next.

FENCIBLES DID KOT GET IT
Fall to Itecovor More Tlian Stipulated
1'ortlon of 1'rlza Offered.
The lawsuit between the National Fenclbles
of Washington , D. C. , and various citizens of
Omaha , who comprised a citizens' committee ,
laving in charge the national competitive
drill which took place In Omaha three years
ago , has been decided by a Jury against the
Washington contingent. Acting under the
direction of the court , the jury returned a
verdict for the defendants.
A national competitive drill was had In
Omaha In June of 1802. Its objects were
similar to thoco of the present Memphis en
campment , which the Thurston Rifles and
Omaha Guards are attending , and the Na
tional Fenclbles , "also , who have lost their
'aw suit. In flaming colored posters the fact
was announced that 4,000 crack soldiers
would fight sham battles and afford the
Omaha public some military entertainment.
When the encampment was thoroughly In
augurated It waa found that only 600 men ,
all told , could be mustered Into service on
the sham battlefield. Prior to this commit
tees had been working among the merchants
and securing handsome oubscrlptlons , but
when It was found that the affair was a
; orgeous failure many of the subscribers re
fused to pay. This left the committee with
out sufficient funds and a meeting of the
captains of the various companies was held
and an agreement made that 60 per cent of
the prizes offered should be accepted In full
payment. As a matten of fact It was shown
on the trial that the Fenclbles received
J3.7CO , or 75 per cent of the $5,000 prize. At
the time of the agreement to take CO cei.ts
on the dollar they were well satisfied , but
under the leadership of Captain Charles S.
Dormer they brought suit against W. J.
Broatch and others of the committed to re
cover the $1,250 balance on the $5,000 prize.
This sum the Jury decides they are not en
titled to. One of the chief defenses made In
the trial of the case was that the tournament
was a "sham , a fake , a swindle ami a fraud
perpetrated on an Innocent public. "

Inulfforrnt 10 Surroundings ,
Bishop Potter Is credited with telling the
story which , more aptly than the thousands
of other stories on the same subject , Illus
trates the abject misery and utter Irresponsi
bility of seasickness. We hardly know why
It Is , says Eugene Field , but It cannot be
denied that any sea yarn Involving the horrors
rors of mal de mer is seized upon with avidity
by the public generally , and with particular
gusto by those Individuals who have them
selves suffered the Indescribable wretchedness
ot that grevlous malady.
"I was coming from Liverpool upon one of
the famous liners , " says Bishop Potter , "and ,
although the sky was clear and the weither
warm , a somewhat tempestuous sea had oc
casioned more than the usual amount of sea
sickness among the passengers. An I paced
the deck one afternoon I noticed a lady re
clining upon one of the benches , and the un
earthly pallor ot her face and the hopeless
languldlty of her manner Indicated that the
had reached that state of collapse which
marks the limit of seasickness.
"Touched by this piteous spectacle , J approached
preached the poor creature and In my most
compassionate tone I asked : 'Madam , can I
ba of an service to you ? '
"She did not open her eyes , but I heard
her mur/nur faintly : 'Thank you , sir , hut
there Is nothing you can do nothing nt all. '
" 'At least , madam , ' said I , tenderly , 'per
mit me to bring you a glass of water. '
"She moved her head feebly and answered :
'No , I thank you nothing at all. '
" 'But your husband , madam , ' said I , 'the
gentleman lying there with his hrod In your
lap shall I not bring him something to re
vive him ? '
"The lady again mover her head feebly
and again the murmured faintly and between
gasps : 'Thank you , sir. but he is not my
husband , I don't know who he Is ! '
A .Momentum Question.
Chicago Tribune : "My heart pleads for
you , Horace , " she said , unsteadily , "but do
you realize the anguish , the misery , the remorse -
morse that would follow a union hastily en
tered Into by two persons not wholly suited
to each other ? "
"Evando ! " Impetuously cried the young
man , "If two persons are deeply , sincerely ,
devotedly attached to each other are they not
wholly suited ? What more Is necessary ?
Docs the loving heart stop to reason coldly
when with every passionate throb It
"It Is not possible , Horace , " Bhe gently In
terposed , "to make a transient Impulse for
an abiding love ? Must there not bo at the
basis of all true affection a mutual respect ,
forbearance , toleration , that will endure
when "
"Thcro Is only one question , Bvadno

"Horace. Huckster ! " she exclaimed wildly ,
"there Is more than one question ! The mo-

"Evadne , hear me "
"Horace , I confess I have no other attach

With trembling lips she Interrupted him

"Then tell me , Horace Huckstep , " she said

It Is not In driving through the streets

East Sixty-seventh strest , the other day a
visitor saw 16 truck GO out to try new

a team of three driven abreast. The truck

of the treatment of Drs. Copelniul & Sheparil

wretched for twelve ycnra with these com *
plaints until Dr. Shepard cured me several
months nto. My catarrh WHS of the worst
form , not only In the head nnd throat , but
It went all through me , acting like a slow ,
blood poison. Some time after the cntarrn
appeared I began to have regular hay fever
with Inllamed nnd watery nosu ami eyes1 ,
sore throat , headache nnd n suffocatlnff
cough with paroxysm ! ! of pncczlng. In sum *

would cuugh and sneeze for an hour at a

exhausting that I was unable to work at

" The great thlnp about my treatment
was that It proved genuine and lasting. A
few treatments pave me comfort nndj
strength , and In a little while I got entirely
well and I have been free from every dWT

nothing- . Including nil medicines , being about
one-sixth the usual fee charged for such

He Would Not Understand.
He is a German and the keeper of a saloon
In Indianapolis , says the Sentinel. Ho had
been In America but a few short month's , and
consequently his knowledge of the English
language Is not great. It Is no wonder , then ,
that he should make a few mistakes as to
the Interpretation of certain sounds expres
sive of meaning in the language he haa
Adopted. He was sitting behind his bar walt

The \Vc ltli nf l.nlirnilnr.
Many suppose the Interior of Labrador to
be a barren country , little less desolate than
the Arctic regions , and entirely unfit for hab-
itattlon , says the rnlladeljhla Ledger. But
Mr. Low of the Canadian Geological Survey
who recently returned from a prolonged ex
ploration through that region , proves this
prevalent Idea to bo erroneous. Flora , almost
Identical with that of northern Quebec , la
abundant. Trees of great slzo cover the
country for miles In almost unbroken and
nearly Impenetrable forests. The rivers ana
lakes are filled with lake trout , white fish ,
land-locked salmon , and other valuable fooj
fl hei. But what will exclto greater Interest
than anything olsu Is Mr. IXIW'B discovery
of rare deposits of fine Iron ore associated
with Jasper. Such a picture as the hardy ,
explorer draws ot this hitherto almost un
known land Is quite likely to lead to Its being
In the near future opened up to settlement
beyond the present colonies * on the share line.
