Specululiuh ,
The condition of the county ) all has been
a hive Issue with the hoar. ) of Supervisors
for a member of years , livery grand jury
for several years has reported on the filthy
condition of limo building and every sheriff
and jailor has had a tale of woe from month
to monthr and has had a standing petition
for the general cleaning imp of time place.
It was decided at limo January session of
the hoard of Supervisors to have the jail
clcaneti and repaired throughout. The work
has been done , the bills paid and the people
are now able to knoww just how dirty the
place veal , it many surprise some people
to know that it required over 400 days' work
to clean the jail , just in labor alone , but
such Is evidently time case for time bills are
on file in the auditor's onice. One man
wound have been compelled to work a year
and a half to get the cleaning up done and
forty men would have found work with soap ,
scrub brushes and lye for over ten days ,
according to the bills that have boot rendered -
dered and paid ,
\\'lien tire vo k was talked of ft was
supposed , that about $300 would fir the
place up in apple nle order , but the bills
paid have now reached nearly $1,000 and , according -
cording to the last report of the grand jury ,
the prisoners still have bedfellows that cause
annoyance. In the light of the work that
has been done , according to the bills , it is a
source of sonic surprise , to sonic of the
men who are intereste1 , that tire jail was
used at all before tire recent hnprovemcnts
were ordere.t ,
The claims filed in the auditor's office
for work performed on the jail have all
been ok'd by Supervisor linker , shmo hind

Between 4 anal 5 o'clock yesterday there
was a variation of the hall and rain storms
that had followed one another all afternoon -
noon and a miniature cyclone swept over
the city. There appeared to be a swiftly
moving current of air far above the
lops of the tallest buildings and the trees.
A wLlle fleecy scud was flying beneath the
storm clouds and the clouds were twisting
and writhing like great monsters in mortal
agony. The appearances were decidedly in
favor of the appearance of a genuine twirler ,
and thousands of people were watching the
clouds with some interest and anxiety. At
tile corner of Eighth street and Broadway
lire white scud wooed to drop n little
nearer to the earth , and for an instant a
while horse tall cloud swishiest downward
amid enveloped the top of the electric light
tower , 150 feet above time pavement. For an
instant the wires and the lamps at the sum-
malt gave forth a shrill staccato sole , the
frame of the tower trembled , and in another
instant the guy poste on the north and west
shot high in time air anJ the tower came
crashing down , It fell parallel with the
curbing , and in falling struck two telegraph -
graph poles and carried down more ( hnn
n hundred telephone wires anti cables. The
network of wires farmed a powerful cushion
and broke the force of the fall to a great
extent. Only the last fifty feet of the
structure reached the earth , The rest of
it remained suspended by the wires upon
w9dch it had fallen.
For a few moments after the accident there
was a lively scene , 1)azens of telephone and
telegraph wires had fallen across the motor
wires , and die street was filled with dang-
Ihhg end that were emitting spiteful hleees
and showers of sparks , it wan also about
the time the electrl llghling station was
expected to turn err lima current for the in-
coidcseent lights , and Officer Peterson ran
to the station and stopped what minglrt have
added more serious complicatlons to the
accident. Telephones were uselers In that
humcdiato vicinity , and all messages had
to be carried by muscular power , ] t for-
( innately happened tint the motor power
house line was intact , mind a message w aa
sent ordering a shutdown.
The loss to the electric light company
will be about $1,000 for damage to the
tower.VIdle lire rods are not all destroyed ,
they are bend and twisted , and the ccst of
gettlug them apart will amount to as muck
an new material will cost.
Tire cause of the accident was undouitedly
the severe gust of whin that was moving
high above tire earth. The oak posts to
whlclr lire guy wires were attached were
broken off close to the ground. They appeared -
peared to be rotten , but an examination
showed that the wood was apparently
sound , with the characteristic appearance
that red oak has after it has been in earth
for some time. The posts had beer in tire
ground about six years , arid were supposed
to be entirely safe. One of them , the northwest -
west one , did not give way until the elx-
strand guy wire had beene snapped like
thread.
It was ascertained lnst evening that tire
etorni had done corsiderable damage in
vartotte places In limo city. The Thirteenth
street sewer was badly injureei between
Fifteenth , Sixteenth and Seventeenth a'e-
nues. This wee the point where the sewer
tvac atratred and crecttenh two yeas ago.
For several blacks along there the street
is not up to grade , and lire sewer manholes -
holes rise above the surface like. chimneys.
The prearul'e of the sealer woe too great for
the strength of the brick work and the
light svcight of earth above it , and it gave
way In several places. Deluges of water
poured nut In the street.
A break was reported in the sewer on ,
Thlyd street and Fifteenth avenue , but the
extent of the dannrge was not ascertained
last night.
On'Illow avenue and Fourth street the
rusk of time water forced the cover off a
sOw cr manhole , but if any further damage
was done it vvas not discovered in the dark-
ness.
ness.At 9 o'clock the motor people were a trifle
anxlouc about their bridge at Thlrteentim
street. The water was running up to the
tics and was cutting away tire embanlcrnent
at each end , it waaalro , up to the track on
time Northwestern bridges , but did not Interfere -
terfero with tire traffic ,
The telephone company got the greater
number of its broken wires repaired hart
evening , and less than a dozen llnes will be

TIIE MYSTERY EXPLI1t 4ED.
The Nonpareil of Srmnday morning con-
taiied the story of the midnight hanging of
a pine board between two trees , at time
corner of Eighth street and Second avenue.
The board is six feet long and elgirt inclres
wide and is suspended in a horizontal posi-
ticn by two wires , about twenty feet above
the ground. The probable purpose of hanging -
ing oho board as it is , is set forth in the
following conjecture3 :
Council Illuffs , fa „ May 10.
Editor Nonpareil : The heard was undoubtedly -
doubtedly hung there for an advertisement ,
which will probably bo that of Moore & Ellis ,
tire well known cigar dealers. A. C , 13.
Council Bluffs , Ia. , May 10.
Editor Nonpareil : The biggest brushers In
town , Mcoro & Ellis , will emhcllls5 the hoard
with "Sultana" and "Corner , " the name of
their celebrated cigars , W. S. 11 ,
Council Bluffs , la „ May 11.
Editor Nonpareil : Mast be a i'chenra for
advertising that elegant line of walling sticks
to be bad at the Corner Cigar Store , owned
by Moore & Ellis. i' . fl. C.
Council Bluffs , la „ May 11.
Editor Nonpareil : It is to catch time eye
of lire bicycle riders on Second avenue and
to announce to them there is nothing llko a
caolhng , sootidng smoke , such as one gets by
ung ! tire "Sultana , " or tire "Corner" cigars ,
\\'M. M ,
Omaha , Neb , , May 11.
Editor Nonpareil : In all probability the
board will soon contain time words : "Moore
& Ellie have purctaaed : the sole right to sell
cigars at limo Athletic park this summer. I
understand that is what they have done. "
\V 11. C ,
Council Illutts , Ia „ May 11.
Editor Nonpareil : Imiasnsuch as Moore &
Ellie have manopollzetl all the available am-
vertising space in town 1t must be that they
era going to do some aerial advertising and
have had the hoard swung laetwcen tire ueee ,
to give it a trial , 11 W. T.
Council Bluffs , la „ May 11.
Edllor Nonpareil : There is only one solution -
tion to thin mystery of the heard , it origl-
nated fir the fertile minds of Moro & Ellis ,
They purpose to utilize it in advertlm'ing the
bert cigar and the best tobaccos on the rnar-
kei E , I7 , C ,
Ahlunlic , ha , , May 10 ,
Editor Nonpareil ; ) t array too that Inghi
grano cigars must ho advertis3d at an alti-
tude. In that casa , lock out for "Sultana"
on the board referred to , \ VV ,
Council Bluffs , ia „ May 11 ,
Editor Nonpareil : The board was put ( irate
to direct everybody to the "Cora r Cigar
Store" owned by Moue & Ellis , and the
meat populur resort In town for e'erybady
