"I am Inalternbly opposed to nny un-
noccsfinry draft upon the geneial fund , " re
marked Major Carson last evening , whsn
discussion of religious subjects was for n
moment lost sight of by contemplation of
the condition of the streets , "but the con
dition ot the streets of Council Bluffs Is
such as to demand at least conservative ex
penditures of the public monej. The weather
during the winter has bsen very favorable
to the accumulation of mud and filth on the
paved streets , while the uncovered stresta
have been cut up to such an extent that many
of them are neaily Impassable. There has
been no street cleaning during the winter ,
nnd the nccumulntlons on the paved streets
are greater than would occur during the
eamo period when the earth Is frozdn and
covered with snow. One of the objects of
the opeclal meeting of the council on Mon
day evening Is to have this matter taken
up for consideration. It Is cheaper to gathci
up the mud from the surface of the' streets
and hnul It awny than It Is to dig It out
of the storm sewers. If the streets arc left
In the condition they are now In until the
spring rains come all of this stuff will be
washed Into the sewers. A larg ? part of It
will stick In the condulto , entailing heavy
expense for removal. AV'o will take the
necessary stcpa to enlarge the powers of
the street commissioner nnd his department
to he can do this work at once The council
last fall by a scries nt resolutions restricted
the expenses of the commissioner's depart
ment to a limit that only provided for
emergencies nnd precluded the possibility
of any street cleaning. The city's financial
condition Is such that the greatest care and
economy must bo TiseJ In all departments ,
but I believe that all of the members of
the council -will agree that it Is the part
ot wisdom to do this work now and thereby
save much greater expanse later on. "
No Information could bo given as to the
amount of money that would bo placed at
the disposal of Commissioner Morris , but It
will be sulllclcnt to cover the expenses.
The question of street cleaning will re-
celvo greater attention this season than It
has for several years. Many of the citizens
Incline to UBO the police court crowd for
street cleaning work , and the buncomb reso
lution adopted by the domo-popullst conven
tion condemning It Is generally taken for
what It Is worth and what Its authors meant
It for , a little bit of cheap dcmogogy. Many
of the aldermen are favorably dluposcd to
the plan of purchasing at least one impiovcd
Btrcet bwccplng machine' . Several of them
have been In correspondence with the makers
of sweepers , and ono kind has particularly
recommended Itself to them. It Is a box
sweeper , with a steel brush sixteen feet
long , set In the frame obliquely to enable It
to cut n awatli eleven feet wide. It gathers
up all of the dust and filth from the pave
ment and deposits It In a box attached to
the machine , from which It can be auto-
mntlcally dumped Into n wagon that Is
driven alongside or unloaded at stated In
tervals. The machine can bo operated con
stantly , day and night , If desirable , and In
twenty-four hours would have sufficient
capacity to sweep once about ten mllea of
paved streets. The cost of operntlng such a
machine would bo alight , Involving the expense -
penso ot the team and driver for the ma-
clilno Itsclt and the ueo ot ono or two
nagons to haul away the dirt. It would keep
the business streets , Broadway , Main and
Pearl , always clean and solve the dust
problem.
Thcru Is also a strong disposition among
aH of the present members of the council
und It will likely bo shared by the now mem
bers who will bo elected to encourage street
paving this season , Thcro ought not to be
a single block ot the rotten and unolghtly
cedar paving left In the city by the time the
Transmlaslbslppl Exposition opens. The re
cent change In the law that enables the city
to charge up the cost of Intersections to the
property ot the blocks benefited removes nil
objection so far as cost to the city and In
creasing the public debt Is concerned. At
the present time thcro aio a majority of the
property owners living on wooden paved
streets who nro willing to Incur the expense
} f repaying at least two miles , nnd they will
ilgn petitions asking to have the old blocks
removed and replaced with vitrified brick.
Die brick makers are also anxious to have
the work started , and all of the conditions
seem to bo favorable for n largo amount of
public Improving during the year.

A river of 3,000,000 mouths that flows 556
gallons each minute , or $00,000 gallon
dally , U running down the throats of the
Inhabitants of Greater New York. That I
the amount of beverage consumed each day
uncording to th New York Herald. 1
all the fluid were formed together It woiih
occupy 107,000 cubic feet of space , weigh C ,
J20.000 pounds , and would make a goo <
load for an ocean freighter 350 feet long.
These figures are as correct ns they are
astounding , for they come from , the bcs
statistical sources ,
In this river Is Included all ot the various
liquids that find their way with willing 03-
sistance Into the stomachs of New Yorker *
Including water , which cannot bo sepa
rated from the rest , ns It Is a necessary par
of all. It enters Into all the spirituous and
malt liquors , la the vehicle for tea , coffco
and cocoa , and is nearly nil of carbon.itei
drinks.
Excepting water In Its pure ttatc , whlct
Is one-half of the entire consumption , we
find beer at the head of the list. We arc
told by Hermans that It Is the creates
civilizing drink , nnd we know that Its con
sumption Is Increasing bejonJ the Increase
of population. In Greater New York the an
mill sale of beer ten years ago was 5,000,000
barrels. Now It Is 7,000,000.
Of this vast quantity of beer 212,000 gal
Ions ate consumed nt home each day , or
moro than a million and n half ot glasses
vnrjliig from the "ponies , " that hold nbou
a Kill , up to the "schooners , " that carry
altnuU a quart. Tli la quantity of bee
makes a bulk of 28,340 cubic feet. If we
hould build n barrel to hold Greater New
York's ono day's supply of beer and place
U beside the obelisk for comparison , I
would be found to be as tall and nbou
Ihrce times its mean diameter. A large
band to bo emptied by a community cacl
day , but the 'Community Is equal to the
task.
task.When we coins to the beverage milk we
must have a separate can so as not to have
the portion that we drink mixed with tha
which weect , for wo are now considering
only drinkables. A large quantity of the
milk consumed goca Into solid food ? , llko
butter nnd cheese , and Into general cooking
besides being frozen Into the temporarily
solid luxury. Ice cream.
But outside of this 110,000 gallons arc
utllbed each day as a drink , either clearer
or mixed with other beverages. Our little
people1 , not yet educated to the use of beer
are the principal consumers of these gallons
lens , which measure 18,700 cubic feet.
If we follow the example set by the beei
barrel and make a cin for our milk nnd
place It beside Castle Garden it will be
thirty feet In diameter and Its top will
reach the roof.
Then thcie la „ the whisky and kindred
spirits.
If wo mnke a demijohn for our daily sup
ply of straight and fancy alcoholic drinks
It must have a contents of 93G cubic feet
which will hold 7,000 gallons. This Is tha
amount consumed each day In the year In
Greater Nevvl York.
This supposed demijohn will be ten feel
In diameter nnd thirty feel high. If placed
beside the Herald building Itn' cork would
bs but a little below the cornice.
If , to balance this , we place a siphon on
the other side of the building to hold the
00,000 gallons of carbonated waters that nre
consumed dally , we will have a bottle wltl
a contents of 8,000 cubic feet , which wll
measure fifteen feet In diameter and stam
with Its top as high as the roof , or fifty fee
above theground. .
Greater New York also drinks wine ant
corks are popping at the rate of about twenty-
live a minute from the various sized bottles
If these bottles were all quarts there woult
bo 10,000 of them and their contents woulc
measure 534 cubic feet.
If one wlno glasn Is made to hold all this
It must be thirty feet dfeep and fourteen feet
In diameter. Thcro Is no more fitting wav
to emphasize the size of this glass than b >
placing It In the upraised hand of Liberty
and thus change her from a torch bcaier
lighting the world to a cup bearer about to
drink to the health of the world.
Greater New York drinks coffee , tea and
cocoa to ths extent of GG.SOO pounds dally.
The coffes weighs 40,000 pounds and a
canister to hold It would hnvo to be twelve
feet high and eight feet In diameter. If this
canister wai loaded on n wagon it would re
quire tie strength of twelve good horses to
haul It over the most favorable stieet In
New York.
As to tha ten , we dally consume 25,000
pounds of It , or the contents of 278 tea
chests. The e would make a moat delighlfu
pyramid to the eyes of John Chinaman 1
piled with the eighty-one chests 1n the bottom
tom layer , then narrowing the width of one
clicat on each succeeding layer until the top
layer of nine chests was reached. Thlo pyra
mid would bo fifteen fee-t s > quaro at the * base
and eleven and a half feet high.
The dally cocoa can for Greater New York
would contain one cubic yard , for we consume -
sumo ns a beverage 1,500 pounda each day.
Then there is aa much more used in manu
facture.
As the excise law provldca certain regula
tions for places where Intoxicating liquors
are sold , wo get some Interesting flgureD
from the records.
T.iero are 13,000 licensed buildings where
liquors are sold In Greater New York , nnt
If thcao buildings wcro placed side by elde
they would reach a distance of 123 miles , or
blx times around Mnnhattnn Island.
These buildings nil together contain 1,040-
000,000 cubic feet ; EO , If they were maosed
Into a single cube It would measure 1.18C
feet on each side and be 260 times as large
as Madison Square Garden.

Mr. ttungay has a store In Spokane , and
In front of this place of business , ' whenever
the weather would permit , Pat has been In
the habit of taking up Jils station. Hls
original task wan to guard the store from
all the nuisances that walked in that di
rection , nnd 1n this capacity he has long
been uneaualed. Mr. nungay has spent no
little time In teaching him that whn a
horse and buggy were left In front of the

Interpo&ed an objection that , alwajo had
weight , for he Is a stocky dog and weighs
a good deal more than his looks would lead
one to think. i
The climax in Pat's career came a few
days ago , when , as he was lying on the
steps of the store apparently sleeping- peace
fully , a horse and buggy came dashing down
tho'sticst at n tremendous pace. The buggy
was empty , for the horse had broken his
hitching strap , which was swinging wildly
In the air as the frightened animal toru
down Sprague street. Pat compiehendcd
the situation at a glanceAb the horse
ncarcd the Duugay store , Pat gathered
himself together on the sidewalk and
waited. A moment later the spectators saw
a white dog swinging in nil directions at
the end of that portion of the liltchlng strap
which remained attached to tbo horse.
For a tow minutes the horse did not seem
to mind the animal that clung like grim
death to the hitching strap , Pat would
swing wide of the her o and up In the air ,
i ! ml then conn down with n thud that made
the people who heard It sorry for .him.
Every time ho came down , however , ho
braced himself nnd gave the horse's head
a vigorous pull. The result of Pat's meth
ods was that within a comparatively short
llstanco the runaway was brought to a
standstill. The dog , rather -scratched and a
peed deal bruised , sat calmly down by the
foaming horse , pulling the btrap at Inter
vals , as If to sny "Von might Just as well
stop first as last when 1 get hold of the
strap " Of course there was any quantity
of men readv to hold the horse after Pat

way while It was on the run.

Vhat would happen If ( he president should

One day during the summer several na

amusing themselves by telling tall torlcs

the Portland Telegram. While so exigagei
old man Nubbins dropped In , chewing to
bacco like a threshing machine , as usual.
He listened a while , and finally , after copious
c\pectorations , asked :
"Hvcr hear about Busby's race with a
blacksnake ? "
Now old Nubbins h.id a local reputa
tion as. n yarnsplnner to bo upheld , nnd ,
although the story was familiar enough
to some , there was a chorus of "No ; tell
us about It. "
The patriarch chuckled at the reminis
cence and went on' "Busby lived 'bout
five miles up the pike , and a good bit of
his land was along the foot of the moun
tain. Ho used to pasttiro his horses In a
field right along there , which was sepa
rated from his house by two other fields ,
though ho alwavs druv the animals along
the plko to get 'em In and out of the pas
turage. Well , sir , he was the 'feardest
man ot a snake I ever hear of. Seems
that he had a bad scare from one when
1ia was a boy , and he never could get over
his feelln' of horror at theIght of 'em
An' ho always kep1 put of their way when
lie ) could , " nnd the old man thoolc with the
laugh ho couldn't keep down.
"What happened to him , Mr. Nubbins ? "
asked the duke , much Interested.
After recourse to the spittoon , the narrator
rater continued : "Ono Sunday cvenln'
after supper he went over to the field to
git one of the team , as he was Eoln' to
the mcatln' some miles up further. The
Mm had got behind the Blue Ridge , and It
was a sort of twilight where the horse was.
\fter chasln' him about a bit Busby was
goln' to round him up , when ho heard a
rustle behind him. Ho glv' a quick glnnce
back , and there was a big blacksnake a-
rearln' up and almost on him. Well , sir.
Busby let out a yell that most scared .the
old nag to death , and took out across the
field like a quarter horse.
"Over the fence he fairly flew , and , ns
ho made the Jump , ho saw out the corner
of his eye that turrible snake right behind
him. Gentlemen , Busby wasn't n young
man , but. he burnt the wind , I tell you
He tuk the second fence with only ono ham

hlttln' the high places , nnd every tlmo he
cut a quick glance behind him , there was
Mr. Snake right with him.
"Busby wan praying as he made the lasl

and he thought If he could only reach the

ho stumbled nnd fell , nnd the last thing he
sec before hlttln' the groun' was that big
blacksnake , and ho felt It fall across him
as big as a fence rail It seemed to him.
Busby clcscd his eyes , broke out In a cold
sweat , and held Ills breath , waiting for the
bite , but i > s ho felt none , ho cautiously
opened his eyes and looked at the snake
Then ho set up quick and began to boat at

Old Nubbins couldn't go on for laughing ,
or mnybe ho warc slyly holding the denoue
ment just out of reach , In order to arouse
his listeners to a fever heat. It did the last ,
anywiy , and the dude asked eagerly :
"Dirt ho kill the snake , Mr. Nubbins ? "
"Nnw , " chuckled the raconteur , "ho called

this Is right and c\cry man In Nebraska , no
matter In what line ot business ho may be
engaged , should give preference to Ne
braska products and all articles manufactured
by Nebraska Institutions. It Is patriotic ,
wlso and bcneflclil. Yet there Is one Institu
tion , located at South Omaha , that expects
the farmers and shippers of thlo state to ship
their hogs , cattle and sheep to It and urging
strongly as one of the reasons for so doing
that It Is a Nebraska cntcrprloe and should
receive all the homo support possible. Wo
believe- this Is right and that the stock grow
ers nnd shippers should consign all their
stock possible to the Union Stock yards of
South Omaha. Hut at the same time , when
this company goes down to Kansas and buys
nearly all of Its hay ( which it has done for
the last three or four years ) thus barring
out the hay crop of Nebraska , It seems to
me that It cannot \\lth good grace expect
the hay and stock growers of Nebraska to
feel much like going out and preaching
very enthusiastically to the people to stand
up for the South Omaha stock yards.
Why this Is done the people cf this state
do not know. Kantas Is doing all It can to
build up the stock yards of Kansas City ,
which Is laudable. These Kansas City yards
come. In direct competition wllh our stock
jards and jet with hay of joel quality , suf-
llcient to supply all of Its wants , within a
radius of 100 miles from South Omaha , this
company lets It rot ami ships Its hay In
from Kansas and begs the stock growers of
Nebraska to stand up for home Inbtltutlons
and ship their live stock to iln yards In
South Omaha Hy pursuing this course , how
much longer does It expect the people of
this state to labor for upbuilding of the
South Omaha stock yards ? FARMER.
