Commencing with yesterday the chari
table work of Mr. and Mrs. DcLong will bo
carried on by them under the direction ot
the American Sunday School union. For
years these good people have been recog
nized ns the most conscientious workers In
the cause of charity In Council Bluffs and
have received the hearty support ot the
public. With the close of the old year they
have completed their report of the work done
In 18DG. This report Is In the nature ot a
diary that Mr. and Mrs. DcLong have kept
of the manner In which they have extended
aid to the needy from day to day. They have
Introduced their nnnunl report In the fol
lowing manner : "The .Industrial school now
starts on Its sixth year. Until last year we
received our salary from the general dona
tions. After all bills were paid , Eomcttmcs
this netted us as high as $ JO and at other
times wo would come out behind. When
this occurred we would work at our trade
and soon catch up , as we commanded high
wages $5 per day. But the year closing
today we have received after nil expenses
are paid $30.70 per month. Thus far we
have kept our own accounts and the people
have had to take our word as to the re
ceipts and expenses. We have worked hard
and have done our best every day. We have
had for our motto , 'Glory to God ; Kindness ,
Gentleness and Mercy to Every Living Soul ' "
Then follows the announcement that they
will hereafter submit all their accounts nnd
reports to the American Sunday School
union.

James Stevenson has been arrested upon
nn Information filed by the church people
conducting the Fifteenth Street mlmlon
Stevenson Is a star member ot a gang of
hoodlums who have long terrorized that portion
tion of the city. The mission was started
In the hope that the hoodlum savagery rep
resented by young Stevenson could be
reached , but Ua civilizing Influence haa not
been strong enough. The mission has been
a. constant object of their attack. Two
years ago the mlrslon people thought It
would bo a I'hrewd scheme to appoint one
of their number ns spcclnl policeman to pre-
ocrve order. "Sandypoint" Adams was se
lected. Provided with club and revolver nnd
a big tin star he attracted a vast amount
of attention from the rough clement. He
finally ceased to afford them amusement , nnd
one night they nttackcd him , stripped him
of his weapons nnd star nnd nearly beat him
to death. The mission people have since
been unable to find a man willing to take
the r'sk ' of being killed for the privilege of
wearing a star , and they have been com
pelled to rely upon moral suasion to pre
serve order. For n week or more the toughs
have made It almost Impossible to hold the
nightly meetings ot the mission , and Stcven-
rion has been ono of the ringleaders. Ho
will have a hearing before Judge McGco thla
morning. He hes subpoenaed a large num
ber of his fellows , nnd cxppcts them to swear
that he was out ot town when the disturb
ances occurred.

"I have n theory , " said a hardware drum
mer , who was Industriously helping lo per
fume the air In the smoking room of the
sleeper , relates the New York Sun , "that
may or may not bo new. For aught I know ,
some philosophical sharp may have written
books about It , and may have proved the
truth of whit I firmly believe , bu' If so I
rcvcr saw the books , and as fci the theory ,
I made It up myself from the facts I have
teen , traveling around the country selling
goods. "
" 'Tlsn't likely , then , " said the man whoso
specialty Is school books , "that anybody has
written about It. Thcotlcs In books arc not
usually built up on that kind of a basis. But
what's your theory ? "
"I believe the degree of civilization to
which an Individual lias attained may be
told with tolerable accuracy by the weapon
ho carries. "
"Supposing he does not carry any , " said
one of the party. "I remember hearing a
lough-looking Irishman In a police court tryIng -
Ing to defend himself on a charge of fight
ing , and he swore solemnly that he had noth
ing In hU hand but his list when the fight
occurred. "
"If his fist was really the only weapon he
carried habitually , " said the hardware man
quickly , "he was very high up In the scale
or else he was pretty certain that ho llvci
In a highly civilized community. The
ultimate result of civilization , of course , la
the doing away with all weapons excepting
those which nature provides , of which the
fist Is the bust. It will be some time , though
before we reach that stage , and until wd do
I expect to go on celling a good many knives
and pistols. "
"Are knives used very generally as
weapons ? " aske.l another.
"More generally than people think , even Ir
the great cities , " was the reply. "Dut not
generally by native Americans In our
principal cities. Everybody knows that the
Italians carry them ; and use them , too , men
and women , on what seems slight provoca
tion. Americans almost always prefer
plstoU' , and the pistol Is unquestionably the
weapon of the most advanced civilized type.
There are communities , however , In the
south and southwest where It Is still com
mon for men to carry knives , and where they
arc very skillful In using them.
WHEN CLUBS AH13 DBST.
"One thing , I have noticed , seems to
dovetail In with my theory , If It does noi
go to prove It. A man who Is accustomed
to carry and even to use any kind of a
weapon Is ICES afraid of that same weapon
In another man's hands than he Is of a
ruder weapon. An , Italian padrone firsl
called my attention to that. He said : 'If
an Italian over attacks you with a knife
don't attempt to defend yourself with n
knife. He knows all about knives , Is usci !
to them , and Is not In the least afraid o !
them. Use a club. Almost any Italian will
run from a club , eycn after he has drawn
his knife. ' And I . believe that even the
toughest characters 'in the wilder parts of
the pistol , would rather face a levelled
revolver than a drawn bowle knife. Yet the
knife Is certainly less used than It was a
generation ago , very much less than seventy
ycara ago , when. Colonel Bowie designed the
knife that bears his name , and won a
world-wldo fame by hla skill In the use of
It. "
"But , If they arc so tough , and If they
fear the knife the most , why don't they
carry them ? " asked the schoolbook man.
"Ah ! That I cari'tsay. Some of them do
as I said , but the pistol Is the favorite.
I'm not explaining the theory , I'm only
stating It. But those who carry knives arc
usually the most Ignorant as well as the
most desperate. "
"Did you ever see any fighting with
knives ? " was a natural question.
"Yes , " said the drummer , "several times.
The first time I ever-eaw a man killed WCH
In a knife fight. I was standing on the
upper deck of a Mississippi steamboat , about
thirty years ago , on my first trip south.
The boat had stopped at Helena , Ark. , to
take on freight , and I was watching the
roustabouts bringing It aboard. It was a
tremendously hot day In the late summer ,
and I , standing In the shade of an awning
on the upper deck , looked down over the
gangway end the lower deck In amazement
to sec how the poor devils could work ca they
did. for they ran to and fro like ants , while
the mate of the boat stood shouting his
orders and cursing them for their laziness.
They didn't seem to me to bo lazy , but It Is
the fashion to call a roustabout so and to
curse at him pretty steadily while he works ,
Just as a mule driver swears at his train
on general principles.
A DUEL TO THE DEATH.
'Meat of the 'roustcrs' were black , or part
negro , though there were a few who looked
like white men , and probably were , and there
was one fellow that I thought had both
Indian and negro blood In his veins. He
was a strapping big man , and l noticed that
while he carried as heavy a. load each time
as any of the others , ho carried It without
any perceptible effort and without the strain
of muscle that the others showed. They
were all stripped to the waist for the work ,
us 'roustcro' usually are , or were then , In
the hottc.it weather , and I noticed his phy
sique with admiration. He looked the most
powerful man In the gang.
"Suddenly ho bumped against another
man who was coming off the boat for a
fresh load as he was coming on with his.
I could not see whose fault It was , or
whether It was a pure accident , but In an
Instant lie had thrown his load to the deck
and struck at the ether with hla fist. The
other man was a very black negro and con
siderably smaller than the half-breed , but
ho was as quick as a cat , and Jumping back
ward ho avoided the blow and stood on the
defensive.
"Ho WES very much on the defensive , too ,
for as he Jumped he put his hand to hla belt ,
and as ho struck his attitude ho hold out
a murderous knife with a blade almost If
not quite ten lnphs long. It was a pecu
liarly shaped Unite , too , for a weapon , for It
wcs stralrht and narrow , with a tapering
point and only oneedge , but the back was
almost half an lu'cli thick , and , of couruj
very heavy. It was. almost like a chopping
knife. I noticed , too , that ho held It with
the blade out from the thumb , OB a man
holds a sword. It Is not the way a knife-
fighter usually holds his weapon , and I
understood , whan' r had tlmo to think It
over , why ho warlted so heavy a knife , for
some of his blowq' ' wcro delivered broad
sword faihlon , 'wliljo others were thrusts ,
"As I say , It wruiafterward that I under
stood this , I hadn't ' time to reason It out
till the affair was all over , for the half-
brccd whipped but his knlfo as quickly as
the other , and -ju/nncd / forward like a cat ,
In attack. HlH lUiIro was a regular bowlo ,
shorter , of course , , ' than the other man's ,
and much lighter , and ho held It In the
approved style * with the blade at the little
finger side of the hand , They wcro together
In an Instant , and there was an Instantane
ous babel around them , for the other men
yelled savagely as they crowded around
and the mate roared tike a bull OH he Jumped
toward them with the evident Intention of
separating them , or perhaps of knocking
them down lower-deck fashion. Whatever
his Intention wes , ho abandoned It before
getting between the two men , and I thought
very wisely. From where I stood , Juit
above them , I could nee every motion , and I
would as ooon have Jumped Into a railroad
collision as to have tried to Interfere In
that fight. It was very short , but whllo It
lasted It was about the mast exciting thing
I ever aaw ,
THE FATAL THHUST.
"It was Impossible toy me , and I think It
would have been tor any one , to follow all the
motions of the two men , though I watched
closely , for they wpro both tklllful lighters ,
and their thrusts and parries were as quick
as the lingers of a preatldlgltator. It must
have becu less than a , inlnuto before It was
all over , though It fpoincd a quarter of an
hour as I watched , The half-brred mudo a
feint nt the other's neck , as he Jumped for
ward , but changed the direction of the blow
as he delivered It , so that the thrust was
really M his right side , The negro , however ,
parried It BO well that the sparks flow in
tl-e two knives clashed. Ho parried with a
downward stroke , and , swinging his arm
nround In a quick return , twlslcd his wrist
over , so nt to bring bin edge forward In. a
back-handed awkward-looking slash at the
other's Jugular.
"Awkward as It looked , It was the wick
edest blow I ever t w struck , and must have
been cither an Inspiration or the result of
long study and practice. Ills elbow was
raised In bringing the knife back as ho did ,
nnd the half-breed , unable to get his knife
back quickly enough to parry after It had
been struck downward , ducked Just In time
to save his neck , but got a glancing blow
across the scalp that laid It open. Closing
In , after this frightful beginning , they broke
each other'n guard and stabbed nnd slaHied
till'they both fell. The half-breed's knife
was driven squarely Into the negro's heart ,
and his victim never moved after he fell.
'Twas no victory , however , for the negro , as
bo got his death blow , avenged himself with
n. terrific slash across the throat that half
beheaded his enemy , nnd after a few seconds
and one or two convulsive shudders , he , too ,
was dead. "
There was a llttlo pause after this story ,
nnd the drummer lighted a. fresh clgnr.
Presently some one asked htm to tell an
other.
"I was In Lcadvlllo soon after the carbonate -
ate fever had made that place the hottest
' ' " ho said.
anywhere near 'the great divide ,
"You see , our firm makes n specialty of small
arms , which Is why I have paid so much at
tention to them. Fully one-third of my trade
Is In revolvers , and r pick up a great many
orders In any new place where there Is n
rush , for , of course , every man who goes
thinks he needs a pistol , whether he docs
or not , and , although ho Is certain to carry
one with him , he Is very likely , for some
reason or another , to buy a new one when
ho gets a chance , and the local traders all
keep thorn In stock. I suppose Loadvlllc
for the first year or so after the rush began
was about as 'wide-open' as any town ever
was. The boom was a mighty one , and there
was more money there than was really con
ducive to morality. I stayed there two or
three dajs longer than I really needed to. for
I wcs Interested , and I wanted to learn as
much ns possible about It. knowing that If
the growth continued I woulu have to go
there frequently.
A KNIFE ARTIST.
"One day I had Just finished dinner when
a stranger spoke to me In the hotel. Of
course , ho Invited me to drink. That's the
way jou Introduce yourself In such places
when you seek a friendly acquaintance , and
there are no other circumstances to lead to
n conversation. We chatted for a minute
or two , nnd then the stranger , whose name
I afterward learned was Harry Connor , or
Black Harry for short , asked mo If I was
not selling hardware. I told him I was. and
he said he wanted to buy a knife. I said I
had some knives with me , but only as
samples , and that of course I never sold
samples. 'Well , ' ho said , 'that's the reason
I came to you. I hunted the town over this
morning to find a knife , and I couldn't find
one that was worth carrying. I thought
probably you might have one or two good
'ones , and that you would sell one. I don't
care what the price Is , so It suits me. ' I still
refused , but he persisted so urgently that I
finally consented to show him what I had
thinking that when he hat1 picked out the
one he wanted I could make some excuse
for refusing to sell It. So we went to my
room and looked over my samples.
"I never saw n man examine a knife us lit
did the one he selected. I had , perhaps ,
forty different ones , but he gave only a
glance at the lot , nnd picked out the beat
one there In nn Instant. Picking It up he
weighed It In his hand , turned It over nnd
over , ran the edge of It across the back of
his thumb nail as a barber tries a razor ,
fiickcd the point with his nail , scrutinized
every fractional part of the blade and hilt ,
and then , grasping It firmly , swung his arm
In the prettiest sort of knife-play , as If
.testing Its weight and balance still more
carefully. Then , stepping over to a wooden-
bottomed chair , he drove the blade squarely
through the Inch-and-a-half wood with a
powerful blow. It was n remarkable dis
play of strength , but nothing to what fol
lowed , for It was comparatively easy to drive
the blade In , but I did not , think It could
be pulled out without splitting the wood.
Connor , however , put his left hand on the
chair near the knife , and pulled It out with
out trouble.
"Then he threw It nt a knot In the
wooden partition that separated my room
from the next , and left the knife sticking
squarely In the knot. I exclaimed In sur
prise , for he had thrown a distance of at
least twelve feet , and he looked at me with
a llttlo smile which I didn't at first under
stand.
" 'That's a pretty good throw , ' I said. 'Do
yon think so ? ' ho answered Indifferently , and
when I said 'Yes1 he stepped over to the
partition and drew oui the knife , still smil
ing , nnd stepping back twelve feet , threw It
again.
"This time I was amazed , for ho had
struck the exact spot he had hit at first. I
examined It closely , and I could see but
one mark after ho had drawn the knife out
the second time. 'Oh ! That's nothing , ' he
said , and with the point of the knife he
scratched a rough circle on the wood about
: l-e size of a man's hand. Stepping1 back to
whore ho stood before , ho turned his back
: o the target , and then , looking at It over
nls right shoulder , ho threw the knife over
its left , sticking It fairly In the target.
Then ho reversed the trick , throwing over
ils right shoulder , and finally , planting
ilmself carefully In the same place , he
ookcd quickly over his shoulder , and then
urnlng his face directly away , threw the
cnlfo over his head , striking the same target
nnd leaving the knife an Inch deep In the
wood.
" 'I want that knife , ' ho said , rather
peremptorily , 'and I want It Just $50 worth. '
And ho pulled a $50 greenback out of his
) ockct and laid It on the table. I took the
noney. I thought a man who could use a
inlfe like that ought to have n good ono.
nd then I was traveling to make money , anl
ho price was a long one , even for that
cnlfe , and It was the best I had. I was
ory sorry , though , before the next day. that
had broken my rula not to Ecll samples.
THE THROW THAT KILLS.
"Men walked In the middle of the street at
night in Lcadvlllo at that time , but the
entrances to the barrooms and the gambling
aloons were brightly lighted , to that It waa
safe enough going In or out of them , ns a
rule. I had started out In the evening to
sco a little more of what was going on , and
lad looked In at three or four gambling
iclls before I came to ono where 'Black
larry' sat playing faro. He was a white
nan , fast enough , but at a dark complexion
hat gave him his nickname , I heard after-
vard that ho had lived a long time with
ndlans further west , and I have no doubt
10 learned the use of the knife among thorn.
lo sat with his left hand toward the door. ,
and I did not HCO him nt first , as there were
, wo others sitting between him and the
ntranco. As I sauntered up to the table I
aught sight ot him. Ho smiled a llttlo
and nodded , but'dld not speak , and I etood
ooklng at him for a moment or two , for no
> artlcular rason except that I know him ,
"Suddenly I noticed that ho was watch-
ng the door. He did not turn hla head ,
) Ut his eyes seemed to bo everywhere at
nee , nnd though he WBH playing ntcadlly
and with fairly good luck , too. as his pile
of chips Indicated , I was certain that ho
saw every motion that anybody made , any-
whcrp In the room , excepting , of course ,
right behind him , I was naturally Inter
ested In this , awl presently I noticed that
ho was watching a man who was Just com
ing In. The newcomer was a stout-built ,
ugly looking fellow , who looked carefully
around as ho entered , and who almcat Im
mediately eow 'Black Hurry. ' Ho started
a little , and then , evidently thinking that
Connor did not see him , aa his head wen
not turned toward the door , he stepped
carefully to his right till ho was almost
behind where Connor sat. Still Connor
did not turn his head , but I could BCD him
watching the other as ho stepped slowly
around until he was fairly out of the range
even of Connor's remarkable eyes , Then I
naw Connor suddenly look full at the
denier with a question as plainly expreaied
ati It could have been In words. So I natu
rally looked at the dealer.
' < Ho gave no sign at first , that I could
nee , of even knowing that Connor was In
front of him , but wer.it on dealing , OH If
there was nothing else In the world to do ,
Then In an Instant his eyei Deemed to bluzc ,
The eye bueluwv was tut wonderful to mo
as the knlfo play had been In the after-
nonn. When I saw the dealer's signal I
looked back nt Connor , and In nil InMmit
saw a tragedy. The newcomer was drawIng -
Ing n revolver , nnd at the same time Con
nor was turning hl head nnd throwing the
knlfo I had sold him , H ? rose from hla
1 chair nn ho threw It. nnd the stranger's
revolver exploded , hut the bullet went wild ,
for he enjik to the floor ns ho flrcd , with the
point of the knlfo In hla brnln.
" 'Gentlemen , ' said the denier , before
nny on < o else could speak , 'I cay Black Harry
done Just right. That white-livered cur
had sworn to kill him on eight , nnd wan
fihootln' frotii behind. And , gentlemen , It'a
none ot our business what the quarrel wna
about. '
"As n stranger In the place I thought
It best not to ask questions about what
was none of my buslncM , " said the drum
mer , as lie throw away his cigar.
