A strong pressure Is being brought to bear
upon the cly officials to Induce them to
take some action by which th Omaha Bridge
anil Terminal company may be enabled to
resume th. work which was so suddenly In-
turupted by the Injunction proceedings. The
controversy between the city and the com
pany seems to be confined to the question of
taxation , th. ' city claiming that the company
should settle the city's demands before being
grunted any privileges. The company , and
seme of the leading citizens not Interested
except as citizens , are urging thj officials to
let the company proceed with Its Improve-
mei ta , nnd let the courts decide the tax
question. They argue that the city Is a little
uhort Just noxv on Improvements of all kinds ,
and that a lib ral policy should bo followed
In the treatment of anybody and everybody
who feels Inclined to expend money along
any legitimate line which will tend to give
the unemployed a ben tit. The worklngmcn ,
while lees philosophic In their pleadings , are
ivcn more enthusiastic , and hotly picture the
ohtcliito need of employment of soim sort
to drive uff the wolf. The company has
made Itself especially In favor with the
laborers by keeping Us promise to cm-
ploy none but Council Bluffs worklngm.n on
this side of the river.
All the various pleadings seem to revolve
about the csntral ono that the city officials
In striving to force the company to a set
tlement of the tax cnntrov. rsy outside of
the courts are gaining nothing toward the
aicnmpllshment of the purpose , nnd ot the
same time they are staying Improvements
wl.lch cannot but be beneficial to ths city.
Tip worklngmcn say the company can wait
foi the slow grinding of the cases In court ,
but that tholr stomachs can't. It Is not
unlikely that the pressure may cause the
city to como to some agreement by which
the work may go on without the rights of
the city being jeopardized.

A watch belonging to Hon. Nick Fritz of
I'ender. Neb. , was sold by Sheriff Hazcn
yesterday at public auction to satisfy a judg
ment of $114 agaliibt him held by A. W.
Askwlth. The judgment Is something like
twenty-five years old , and represents the
cost of a wooden leg fcr which Fritz de
clined to pay. H had dropped out of sight
fur various reasons , and was outlawed ac
cording to the statutes of Nebraska when its
existence was discovered , so that It could not
bo transcrlpted across the Missouri. Askwlth
caught Fritz last summer when he happened
to visit Council Bluffs and had him taken
before Judg ? Smith for an examination as to
hlu effects. The result of the examination
was that a gold watch which Fritz carried
with him was seized. It has bsen In the pos
session of the sheriff over sine ? until yester
day. Dick Hoist , acting for Fritz , put In a
bid of $29.40 , and the watch was knocked
down to him. This Just pays the costs K > far
and the judgment Is consequently as large
as It ever was. Askwlth states that he will
begin an action In Nebraska for tha rest
of the amount. There Is no use of his wait
ing for another visit from Fritz to Council
Bluffs , for hereafter Nebraska's cx-senatcr
will undoubtedly leave his valuables behind
him before crossing the Big Muddy.

Harry West , a shoemaker who lives at 71S
Washington avenue , was arrested yesterday
afternoon on the charge of beating his wife ,
Dora West. For some thus they have been
living apart , on account of West's inability
to let the flowing bowl evaporate of Its own
accord. Mrs. West has been In Kansas City.
When she came home she claims West was
on his muscle and destroyed her peace of
mind by giving her a besting. West was ar
rested by Officer Murphy yesterday after
noon as he was putting up some bills for ths
opera house at the corner of Broadway and
Sixth street. He was very wrathy when
notified that there was a warrant out for him
and denied that thera was anything In the
charge. Ho said he was merely the victim of
rplte work.
West Jumped Into some little local promi
nence about a year ago by being arrested on
the charge of setting flre to the Ogden livery
s.table. He was discharged for lack of evi
dence.

Al Rackwltz was given a trial In the dis
trict court ycyterday on the charge of steal
ing a fish met from J. P. Kramer. The
staje showed that the net was stolen from
Kramer's corncrlb , and afterwards found In
Rnckwltz's mother's possession. Rackwltz
told the police that he had found It In the
willows near Manawa. He called on Kramer
nnd tried to effect a settlement , offering to
pay him for his trouble and give him back
the fish net If he would dismiss the case.
The circumstantial evidence was rather
strong , but there was no direct evidence-
prove his guilt. The Jury took the case nt
3 p. in. , nnd at 8 o'clock last evening re
turned a verdict of acquittal.
The case against Tom Brown , who was Im
plicated with Rackwltz In the alleged thaft ,
was dismissed by County Attorney Saunders
without trial.

The fellows In town had warned him so
ho knew All about hr that she boasted al
most as many victims as rim had frtcndt , am
that her smiles and her wiles were fcr all
Indeed , rome ono had mentioned caeuslly
relates the Booton Post , that she had thirteen
on her list during the summer , and that one
regarded thirteen as an unlucky number am
was on the lookout fcr another who flioul <
break the spell.
"And I'm hanged If I'll bo that on ? ! " he
said to himself. So ho was quite ready foi
her when ho was presented on the coo
verandah of tbe hotel , but he wis not pro-
pareJ fcr her beauty , th ? glancing light o !
her eyes , and the glint of her hair , nor for
the proud young grace cf her form -and the
charming fit and exquisite taste ot her gar
ments.
"Why didn't they tell me she was such a
binuty ? " he askeJ himself as he bowed
But , possibly , like the sirens of old , she had
lured them all on and then left them so mis
erably In the lurch that they could no longer
see her beauty.
"Forewarned Is forearmed , " he mentally
remarked.
He felt llko n warrior chief advancing
wllh bent crwt and iMvercd ppear to mtcl
his fee on equal ground. There was much
pomp , and many civilities were exchanged ;
but , although all was 10 calm nnd serene
Just now , It was to be wur to the knife
presently. "I am very glad , Indeed , to meel
you , Mlsa Adalr , " ho mid. "I have heard
so much about you from people whom 1
know. "
"Have you , really , Mr. Remington ? I hope
they haven't been faying anything veiy dread
ful about me. "
"Not at all , I assure you. They have only
b n saying the mart complimentary things ;
how could they do othetwlse ? "
Mlm Ailalr laughed nnd twirled her wMte
parasol. "I hope you arc going to be a little
kind to me , " went en the young man , "for
I am only to be herea short time , nnd wo
have so many mutual frlMids. "
"What constitutes boinf ; kind ? "
"Permitting mo to take Borne pleasant
strolls with you , or drives , If you prefer ,
and favlng some dances for me In the even
ings ; also allowing me to present you with
a bunch of tlioos swsot peas that are
btomlng > ; o fragrantly In that shop across
the way. "
Again Miss Adalr laughed.
"But I call that being kind to me , " she
argued , not ungraciously.
And so It all bgan. But unlike her other
victims whom she had led on by her arch
snillci' and enchanting graces , till ! one was
fighting her with her own weapons. There
was ever the recollection of that hideous
fourteenth before his eyes ; and never , for
a moment , did he forget that she was play-
Ing.
Ing.He
He lured her on by every charm a man
could exercise , lie never so much as glanced
at another ; he was always nt her beck and
call , always praising , always approving. Hav
ing gone much Into the society of women ,
ho had learned their whims and knew what
they" liked ; and for the benefit of this fair
Circe he exercised his lore. He humored
her fancies ; ho never saw the beauties of
nature for the greater attractions of her
face ; ho promptly forgot every one to whom
she presented him ; he stood and waited for
her , holding her fan , while she danced ; and
wherever she expressed the slightest desire
to go he was always at her side In an In
stant , fully equipped to escort her.
Ah , how sh ? smiled upon him In those sum
mer days , and how her eyes brightened at
his approach ! She would leave any ooterle
or gathering , however entertaining , to winder
on the beach with him and play out her game
r hearts.
There were times bah ! what a fool he
was ! when he wished that It was not all
frivolity. And there were1 other times but ,
of course , this was utterly Idiotic when he
believed It was < not nil frivolity , after all.
For Instance , there was one evening when
there was a yachting party In the moon
light , and when he and she had sat apart
from the others In the shadow of the rigging.
Her cool hand had stolen close to his of Its
own accord , and she had looked up , bewltch-
Ingly , Into his cyes _ , andr-buvthere { ! he was
not going to admit' that he' bad fallen into
the net , as the other poor fools had done- .
At last the end came that hateful day
when the calendar recorded the fact that
his holiday was over , and thai he must
leave this sylvan retreat for the dull , dusty ,
alley-llko streets In the city.
Was it by accident or design that she
never had looked so well as she did that
last morning , In her pink frock , In the gar
den chair out under the trees ?
Ho came toward her with outstretched
hand. "I've come' to say goodby , " he said.
"Goodby ? "
"Yes , and to nsk you to forgive me. "
"Forgive you ? "
"I am afraid that perhaps my part In
the little comedy lias bored you. "
"Bored me ? " she repeated his words ,
dreamily.
"You see , " ho went on , "I know that you
and I have been playing a little game. You
well , you are yourself. It has been very
good of you to put up with me so long. Your
fame as a please forgive me a flirt had
reached me , and I determined to fight you
with your own weapons. Aftdr all It had
been very jolly and don't you think we can
shako hands and cry quits ? "
Slowly , quietly , she rose from her chair
and cast upon him ono withering , blighting
glance that swept over him from crown to
toe. Then , holding herself right royally ,
and gathering up her draperies that they
might not even touch him as she passed ,
she swept by him Into the house.
Remington went back to his office ; but
somehow , during those dull , listless Sep
tember days that followed , as he sat with
briefs and legal documents before him , the
figures danced and capered before his eyes ,
and the affairs of his client went clean out
of his mind.
Ho was asking himself for the millionth
Lime if he could possibly have made a mis
take.

The neiiinrUnhlc Family of * n Cali
fornia AVoiiian.
In an almost Inaccessible mountain fast
ness In Mendoclno county , California , elgh-
: een miles northeast of Ukluh , Is
the home of nlno children , all triplets. The
mother of this remarkable family Is Mrs.
George Walters. All the children arc well
and happy and the last trio , are as healthy
a set of youngsters as can be found any
where.
The Walters home Is In
on out-of-the-way
> art of the Mendoclno forest district , says
.ho San Francisco Examiner , Two of the
sets of triplets were by Mrs. Walters' first
tusband , Orvllle Orrln Oates , a Mlesourlan ,
Three years clapstd between the birth cf the
Irst and second triplets , and twelve years
jetwcen the birth of the second and third
sets ,
Mrs. Walters' maiden name was Ellen
Glalno Emmery , She was born In Quebec
about 1855. She met her husband during
the Centennial exposition at Philadelphia.
After their marriage they moved to Alton ,
Mo. It was at Alton In 1879 the first triplets
were born. They were named Wheeler
ilenry , James Rutherford and Martha Clirls-
Ino , being two boys nnd ono girl.
The family moved to California In the fall
of 1880 and settled first In Inyo county.
From there they moved to the Little Bear
valley , San Bernadlno county. There , In
October , 1SS2 , the second triplets were born.
They were all girls , and were named Matilda
Ann , Rbccca Elizabeth and Mary Louise.
Wh'le ' out on a prospecting tour seeking
a fortune for his fast growing family Mr.
Oateo became lost In the vast deeerts of
western Arizona , and was never again
iear < ! from. The widow then determined to
move to the upper part of the state with
icr six children. They traveled north by
easy stages and on the way uli& met Mr ,
Walters. He helped her and her children
along the way , proposed marriage and was
promptly accepted ,
They kept on their journey north , seeking
'or some faraway valley , where they could
set up their home. They found It In the
ocatlon already described. There. In June ,
.894 , the- last triplets were born. Tluy were
named Grover Eldreil , Jacper Otis and Ruth
Ellen.
The children of the first two sets of trip-
eta do not resemble one another at all , but
ho last , the babies , look so much alike that
hey cannot be told apart. The- only way to
distinguish them Is to dress them differently ,
and when put to bed they wear different
ilnds of nltftit dresses to that the mother
n the morning can tell which Is which.

olic cemetery at Kenwood. Those having
charge cf the cemetery refused to permit
the boJy to bo interred there for the reason
she was an aspotate , and the Catholic priest
refused to conduct the services. The O'Con-
nells owned the lot and determined to bury
there anyway. Shortly afterward Sexton
O'Toole and two assistants went to the
grave one night , by order. It Is alleged of
Father Sullivan , took up the body and re-
Interred It just outside the cemetsry. The mat
ter was laid before the October grand Jury and
It has Just bean learned that It has re
turned an Indictment against O'Toole for
desecration of the grav ? , he having ben ar
rested yesterday on , a bench warrant.

There Is an anecdote told of an Indiana
man who was presenting a letter of Intro
duction to a merchant In the Ecuadorian
capital , Quito. Ecuador Is famous for Its
earthquakes. All the houses there are > but
ono story In height , and the windows and
doors of the thick walls are the universal
itches for safety.
The Indiana man has just finished an
elaborate pantomime In an attempt to con
vey without words his joy at meeting the
Spanish merchant. In the middle of It came
an earthquake shock. Llko a flash the mer
chant shot Into ono of the window niches ,
yelling to tlio stranger , "Pronto ! Pronto ! "
( "Quick ! Quick ! " )
The traveler was narrating It subsequently
when earthquake stories came up.
"I didn't know 119 Spanish , and I didn't
snow what 'pronto' meant , but you bet I
prontoed , " eald the //idjqna man.

During reconstruction d y , relates the
New York Prci , Cnptnln Hubo Clark and
his lleutonnnt , Itcynolds , guerrlllAit , were cast
Into prison nnd sentenced to be shot , Clark
hnd powerful friends , who were confident of
his release , but Reynolds , from Memphis ,
wag without hope nt nuccor. The prison at
Knoxvllle , To mi. , was nn Iron cage In a big
room , whose window had no sign ot n glass ,
and through the long winter Clark and Hoy-
nolds were confined there. Kor Mveral
months they suffered the agonies of the
damned. At last as the time for Reynolds'
execution approached It was noticed that he
was going crazy. Clark declares to this day
that Reynolds did not touch n morrcl of
food for three weeks. He would moan and
sigh and twirl his thumbs after the manner
ot a crazy person , recognizing no one nnd
laughing Incancly In Clark's face whenever he
tried to console him. Clark was sure of
his Insanity , Army purgcons and local physl *
clans passed upon ths case and Reynolds
was finally dlschirged as a lunatic.
Clark's friends Anally secured his release
and hurried him out of Knoxvllle. Two
entered n carriage with him two of his old
soldiers and drove toward the mountain ? as
hard as possible In the dead of night.
Reaching a house In a dense forest they
stopped and asked him to follow them to a
back room. Ths halls were darkened , nnd
In the room thcro was only the light of a
candle. On the bed In the corner lay a
man , moaning , sighing , twirling Ills thumbs
and giving other evidences of Insanity.
Clark recognized Reynolds.
"Poor , poor fellow , " he told , leaning over
the lieutenant to rtroko his forehead. A
tear came In his eye as he looked at the
wreck of his faithful officer.
One ot the soldiers shut the door , locked
It and approached the bedside.
"It's all right , Reynolds , this Is the cap
tain , " he whispered.
Reynolds tore off the blanket , sprang up
with a glad cry and threw his arms around
Clark's neck.
"Great God , captain , didn't I do It well ? "
he said ,
Thsy made all possible linsto and eoon
reached New Orleans , where Clark felt that
Reynolds would be comparatively safe. One
night as they left the opera and had reached
a lamp In the street an officer touched Clark
on the shoulder.
"I want you , " he said. "Make no fuss
about It , but lome quietly. "
Clark pinched Reynolds' arm and signified
that he must fly. The lieutenant needed no
second warning. Then Clark asked the o Ul
cer what he was wanted for.
"Hanging , " said the latter. "I have been
on your trail for three weeks. "
"But maybe you have the wrong man.
My name Is Reuben Clark. "
The officer toolt from his pocket a photo
graph of Reynolds and examined It and
Clark under the lamp. Instantly he saw his
mistake and began to swear.
"That Is the likeness of my friend , who has
Just left us , " said Clark , coolly. "His name
Is "
"Reynolds ! " shouted the officer. I've got
the wrong man ! "
Well , Reynolds was never caught. He Is
living In Memphis today , and has grown
rich. Clark Is rich , too , but that long term
In the Iron' cage affected his mind and he Is
the most absent-minded man In America.

Wire drawing was practiced In France n

According to consular reports It Is the
Intention of the Turkish authorities at Jeru
salem to establish a steamship lineon the
Dead sea. The existence ot asphalt In that
region has bcn ascertained , and It Is sup
posed that petroleum will bo found oUo. A
rational development of the Jordan valley
from Lake Tiberias down , nnd especially the
opening up cf the rich mineral resources of
th-i Dead sea basin , Is considered a very
profitable undertaking , for which , however ,
foreign capital will hardly be found , an the
legal status of property holders In those re
gions Is very unsafe.
