Fremont West and David Redmond have
been parties to a dispute of long standing
over a parcel of corn which , while of not
great value , was great enough to Involve them
In a pitched battle In "C. O. D. " Brown' ?
store yesterday afternoon. West owns 160
acres of land near Honey Creek , nnd his
brother formerly owned thirteen acres adJoining -
Joining , but sold them to Redmond. The
latter claimed that a crib of corn standing on
the land went with It , but Fremont West
claimed that It belonged to him because hlx
brother owed him for rent. Tuesday West
sent his father up to get the corn and Rjd-
mend refused to let him have It , applying
n great many abusive epithets to the old man
nnd accusing him of bslng several things , ac
cording to West's story. Then Redmond
sent his hired man down to haul the corn
nway , and Fremont West came out nnd cr-
dcred him elf the place. The hired man
bent a retreat. Yesterday afternoon the two
men met In Brown's stora. Which of them
commenced hostilities Is a matter' of some
uncertainty , but It seems they were- both
ready for n moderate amount of trouble.
At all events , Redmond struck West a couple
of times , and West struck Redmond , using
n sort of club made of twisted wire. Red
mend was not particularly hurt , but his
feelings were , and he ran to the city build
ing and swore , out a warrant , charging West
with assaulting him with Intent to do great
bodily Injury , Judge McGee fixed the bond
at $50 , nnd West secured It. He will ap
pear for a hearing this morning in police
court.

Rev. Henry De-Long Is usually considered
onn of the busiest men to be found In Coun
cil Bluffs. I'rolnb : no man hie done quite
to much In th > way of bringing two cla'sse *
of people together those who have and those
flho need. During the month of November
ho provided 221 perswns with clothing. They
ranged all the way from babes to persons with
moro than Hirer ecoro and ten years to their
credit. The work has been done during In-
tcrmlwlon * In his regular business , and the
fact that It Is charity pure and simple on
the part of the giver as well as the recipi
ents makes the accomplishment of nil this
work so much the more wcrthy of mention.
Some of the clothes turned out were not
very good , but they were better than the
ones they rrplaced , and gave the needy ones
sincere cause for thanksgiving.
In the Homo Delight , a paper devoted
mainly to the Interests of the Girl's In
dustrial fchool , where girls who have no ad
vantages at hctne are taksn every Saturday
afterncon nnd given moral and religious train-
liiC , as well as taught to do nil kinds of
plain sewing by n number of the prominent
ladles of the city , Mr. DeLong gives an In
teresting account of rome of the visits he
has made whll. engaged In looking after the
wants of HID poor.
"I received n card saying that If I would
rail nt No. street I could have sJinsthlng
to help me In my work to relieve th ? poor , "
ho writes. "When I entered the house I
found a man nnd his wife , with their little
girl , amid as pleasant surroundings as heart
could wish. While the lady went up stairs
to g i' the bundlj the child ald : ' 1 will cn-
tcrtnln you while mamma is getting some
of my things for gome poor little girl whose
papa drinks nnd spends his money for beer ,
and whose mamma has to wash just to get
them something to eat. Man"inn says there
are a great many little girls who have no
nlco home like mine , and they have no nice
clothes or shots. I am awful sorry for them. '
From this home I went to the hut where
another little girl about the fame ago lived.
Here was nothing but poverty and want. The
girl woo clod In n thin summer dress p.nd you
could see daylight through the cracks In th ?
shan'y. A little old cook stove , and nothing
but a few green willows for fuel. I said to
the \\oman : 'Where Is your husband ? ' She
answered , 'I suppose he Is up town some
where ; he wfnt away yesterday morning , and
hasn't como back yet ' and here she broke
down crying. 'Oh , I would have such a good
husband If It were not for one thing , nnd you
Itnow what that Is. If It were not for my
child I should not cara to live any longer. '
I remember seeing this sim& woman when
shn was a young girl , surrounded by all the
comforts of a Chris'lan home. The young
man who Is now her husband was a bright
respectable fellow , the pride of his parents ,
who had made many sacrifices that he might
secure an education. But , alas ! he has ben
caught In the meshes of the mightiest curse
of the world the drink habit. But I have
gotten away from my subject. Here I am In
this dreary place called home , nnd I thank
God that I am thus nbl ; to help them. I felt
fully repaid for all that I had done as ? the
mother and the little girl took me by the
hand and thanked me heartily. After leaving
the things given mo by the first little girl's
mother 1 went to another homsi to get some
sho:8.
"When I returned home I found Mrs. De
Long had furnished shoes for three pairs of
feet and an overcoat 'for a poor half naked

John Wall Is nn old man who staggered
Into the house of B. P. Shilling , about six
miles cast of Council Bluffs , Tuesday night.
Ho was not able to talk on account of some
defect In his linguistic apparatus , and so
Shilling Jumped to the conclusion that he was
crazy. Ha brought him Into the city yester
day morning and took him before the com
missioners of Insanity , who gave him an ex-
amlnatlpn. They were unable to find any sign
of Insanity , and were not. In fact , able to flnd
out much of anything else. Somebody sug-
gssted that ho might be a German , and Emll
Schurz , who happened to be passing through
the clerk's office , was given a position ns In
terpreter without pay. For about fifteen
mlnutca there was a miniature Babel , and
finally Schurz announced that several of
Wall's expressions sounded like Chinese , but
he couldn't make the others out at all. It
was finally discovered that Wall was Irish
and had been talking In the Gaelic tongue.
The Insane commissioners found that he
nau ueen run out or. umana uy tno Neoraska
authorities because he was poor and most
horribly dirty , and they consequently sent
him back. The Douglas county commis
sioners , It Is claimed , refused to allow him to
stay , and during the afternoon he wandered
back again. Just what will now bo done
with him has not yet been decided.
Thievi-H at Work.
J. McCall and Charles Owens are two corn
huskcrs who came In from Carson yesterday
by rig across the country. They had a bottle
tle or three with them when they started ,
and tticV had two Jags when they reached
town. They took their rig to Neumayer's
hotel for keeping , nnd went up Into the hay
mow to sleep oft their respective Jags. Mc
Call was the first to come to hlmsslf. H ?
clambered downstairs , and as he did so told
one of the stable hands not to let any one
go upstairs , as his companion had some money
In hla clothes. Owens awoke at lut , and on
feeling in his pocket found his purse- , which
had contained $23 , missing. He suspected
his companion of stealing It , and swore out
a warrant for him. When McCall was taken
to the city Jail nnd search ho was found
to have $23.13 in his pocket.
Some one went Into a room In the Chicago
house , a small hotel nt the corner of Willow
avenue and Main street , last evening and
stole a suit of clothes and an overcoat be
longing to Antone Jensen. Later In the even
ing Officer Slead found that the clothing had
been sold at a shop neir the Northwestern
depot , and obtained a description of the fel
lows who sold It.
The same parties are thought to have robbd

J. R. McPhcrson's floral exhibit at the
Western Iowa Poultry show attracts much
attention and excites much praise , although
Mr. McPherson did not enter the lists as a
competitor for any prizes or honors. He
I'lmply thought ho would add a little to th ?
attractiveness of the exhibit , as by a misun
derstanding In thC'datcs he found himself too
limited In tlmo to make any such extensive
display as ho could otherwise easily have
done. It was for this reason that on entering
he notified the committee not to consider bis
display as at all compclltlve.

PLANTING THE DOG.

1'ropiT -rcuioiilL-n. .
Probably the most novel funeral ever seen
In New Jersey occurred in Railway ono Sun
day recently , says the Buffalo Express.
The corpse was that of a dog , Bald to be
the smallest of Its kind In America , If not In
the world. Victoria was a pure black-and-
tan terrier. Her history la Interesting. About
fifteen years ago the late Mrs. Garbonettl
of Rahway , who was at that time a performer
In Harmim's circus , was engaged In a tour
of England with the show. She was ex
ceptionally clever In handling horses , and
she- frequently received pttee-nts from her
admirers , Ono day In Manchester a man
sent his compliments to the fair rider , ac
companied by a basket , which contained the
smallest mite of'canlnlty she- had ever beheld.
The dog accompanied her on her travels all
over the world , and though It never grew
to robust Blze , It was always healthy , and
she became sincerely attached to her pet.
In due course of time Mrs. Garbonettl left
the sawdust ring and settled down In Rah
way. Last summer she was thrown from a
buggy and killed , and her husband , who U
a farmer near Rahway , presented the dog to
Miss Mary McCann , who was with Mrs. Gar-
bonettl when she met with the accident.
Victoria was about six Inches lopg , and her
head was less than four Inches from the
ground. She weighed about eighteen ounces
when In good condition. She was not capa
ble of learning many tricks , but after years
of patient training her mlntresy succeeded
In teaching her to feet up on her haunches
and sneeze. This latter accomplishment , It
is said , was responsible for her sudden death ,
as she ene-zcj so much that asthma f.'t In ,
and after an Illness of less than an hour ,
she died , As a mark of regard for the de
parted canine , Mlus McCann had a Now York
firm manufacture a miniature coffin , 'which
wa covered with embossed white plush ,
The coffin was nine Inches long , flvo wide
nnd four high , and the body of Victoria was
arranged In It as If she Mas taking her dally
nap behind the stove. Before the body was
commuted to the grave an amateur photog
rapher wag called in , and several pictures
wen taken of the animal * The dog was
burled In MEB ! McCann's garden , and the
bereaved woman saya a monument will some
day mark the resting place of her departed
friend.

DES MOINES , Dec. 11. ( Special Telegram. )
The supreme court today affirmed the Judg
ment of the Plymouth county district court
In the case of the slate against Atle Hart ,
sentenced to n year In the penitentiary for
extortion. It was ono of th ? foremost cases
In the history of the state. Hart was a capi
talist at Sioux City , living across lhe Missouri
In Nebraska. He was nt one time prcmlncnt
In Ncbrarka politics and a newspaper editor.
Three years ago the Chicago Sunday Sun
bigan writing up scandalous articles about
prominent Sioux City people. J. L. Lewis
was the Sioux City correspondent and nude
n business of ex'ortlng money from people by
the threat to "write Ihtm up. " Hart acted
as a go-botw en to compromise these matters
and receive the money.
A trap wns laid nnd he- was caught receiv
ing money. After a long sensational trial ho
and Lewis were convicted. Lewis served his
term , but Hart took the case to the supreme
court , which has now held tint he must serve
out hln term. Hart clalnml that he had no
connection with Lewis nnd wns merely acting
as a friend of the people to whom lie went.
The supreme court holds the claim of
friendship was a mere pretense , "nnd there
hi direct evidence as to his guilt , " The opin
ion says : "In the aJtempt to extort from
Oilman and Hedges the record Is full of facts
and circumstances which point plainly and
clearly to his guilt. The appeal was taken
on errors In the admission and exclusion of
evidence , errors In the charge to the Jury and
In refusing to give Instructions nskcJ by th *
defendant. The Instructions given were full
and complete and covered every question nec
essary to be considered under the evldcncf ,
and they are In accord with Instructions In
criminal cases which have frequently be n ap
proved by this court. The judgment of the-
llstrlct court Is affirmed. "

Disease has played havoc with the great
herds of hogs In this section during the past
few months' . It has been supposed that chol
era was the prevailing ailment , and the best
classes of farmers , those who glvo special
attention to the care of stock , have lost all
ho way from twenty to 150 hogs. In many
cases the animals seemed to be In perfect
health until at night they would appear to
Imve a slight cough and In the morning were
'ound dead. Now It appears that the troubl :
a a lung disease rather than cholera. In
wenty hogs examined It was found the lungs
ivere terribly diseased , the cells and tissue
clng clots , and other evidence of malignant
disease. ' -

A writer In the Outlook says that some
years ago n friend of his wrote n short story
which a magazine accepted and paid $50 for.
The years went by , nnd the story still rested
snugly In the safe. Meanwhile the author of
the tale had become an Industrious man of
letters nnd had aqhlevcd some little reputa
tion. Ho one day met the editor , whom ho
had come to know , and asked him when ho
Intended to print that story. The editor re
plied that he could not tell , but probably not
In the Immediate future. The author went
home nnd thought the thing over , and then
asked the editor for the privilege of buying
the story back. The editor assenting to
this , the author gave him $50 and received
back his story. He read It over , made n
few minor changes In It , put a new title to
It , had It typewritten , and then sent It back
to the editor of the same magazine from
whom he had Just bought It. In a short time
came a check for $150 and a call from an
Illustrator who hail received an assignment
to make pictures for It , as the editor In
tended to publish It Immediately.

Lost I
How many wo
men do you know
who are struggling
along with burdens
'they were not
meant to bear be
cause their husbands have "lost
their health ? "
A man's health is an easy thing
to lose. A little care and the right
medicine make it easy to regain
lost health. Neglected disease
breeds death. Over work , expos
ure , wrong eating , wrong living
generally may engender disease.
Symptoms vary , but by far the
majority of diseases are marked by
a loss of vitality , a wasting of
flesh. The lungs and the stomach
suffer. Disease - germs enter the
system through these two or
gans.
W
Recovery means driving out the
germs and building up strong , I
healthy tissues. The medicine that
will do it quickest and most thor
oughly is the medicine to take. i
That medicine is Dr. Pierce's
Golden Medical Discovery. It
searches out disease-germs wher l
ever they exist and exterminates
them. It is a powerful , invigorat
ing tonic. It promotes digestion , i
creates appetite , cures biliousness
and all liver , kidney and stomach
disorders , and so all blood dis
eases. All medicine dealers.
