badly. The doctor gave ma medicine ,
but it did me no good. Ho said the

Upon examination , ho found there
was a Fibroid Tumor in raj' womb , and
gave mu treatment without any benefit
whatever , About that tlmo a lady
called on mu , and recommended Lydia

eaid she owed her life to it. I
eaid I would try it , and did Soon
after the flow became more natural aud

The committee appointed at the special
meeting of the city council on Monday after.
ioca , consisting of Mayor Careen , Jacob
Jims and George P. Wright , as a conference
: ommltteo to adjust the differences betwcin
.he citizens , the city council and the motor
: ompany , that appear to stand In the way
jf the passage of the new motor company
: harter , held a lengthy session yesterday
iftcrnoon In the office of the mayor. The
jccifercnce was not strictly cntre nous , but
whenever an Inquisitive reporter called he
wa entertained In the front office of the
mayor's apartments moat plessantly by that
oillcial , and could only hear the hum of
earnest conversation In the adjoining room ,
which filtered through the tightly-closed
door and shut transom.
It Is the Intention of the committee to
arbitrate oil differences and arrive at a con
clusion by mutual concessions , and fix up a
charter that will be acceptable to the people
ple and at least bearable by the company.
It Is believed that these discussions can be
bettor carried on without the presence of
the public car , and the differences adjusted
equally satisfactory and much more promptly
than If every suggestion and argument wca
retailed to the public. It Is believed that
very substantial progress was made yester
day , and that a special meeting of the coun
cil will be called within a few days to ratify
or reject the compromise effected.

I'ri-iiari-H Itn lli-imrl.
The finance committee of the city councl
held a meeting yesterday and agreed upoi
the -tax levy for the coming year. Clt ;
Treasurer Gorham and Finance Clerk Tru
furnished the committee with the statlstlca
Information required and the estimates neces
sary to meet the obligations of 1838. It wa
the desire of the committee that the condl
lions might be found to bo such as to Justify a
still further reduction In the annual levy
but this hope was blasted when the member :
were confronted at the start with the figure ,
fiom the assessors' returns showing a grcu
reduction In the total of the assessment fo
1SOS. In making the levy It has been foun
possible to make a slight reduction eac
year for the last two or three , making
steady decrease In the amount collected fo
city taxes. Last year the total city levy fo
all purposes was 27M : mills , and when th
committee discovered yesterday that It wouli
be necessary to Increase this levy by the
addition of 2 mills It was a great disap
pointment. A little figuring , however ,
showed that notwithstanding this apparent
Increase , there would bo an actual reduction
of the total amount of taxes to bo collected
from the property owners approximating
about $18,000. Then the committee felt a
yood deal better , and the reluctance to pre
sent Its report to the couucll vanished. The
levy agreed upon follows , the table allow
ing the old and the new levy :

-
Total 27.5 23.5
The reduction of the assessed valuation of
the realty of the city has amounted to a good
many thousand dollars , and while the tax
levy Is 2 mills higher than last year the
taxes will be less. Last yea- bonds to the
amount of over $34,000 were paid , and this
. year there will bo a further reduction of
ibout the same amount. There Is now In
he sinking fund to pay maturing bonds
an amount of about $30,000 , and the rjew
evy of 2V4 mills will produce about $10,1)00 )
moru. This will be used for taking up a por-
lon of the $70000 of bonds that will fall
lue. The balance of the $70,000 will be re-
'unded. ' There hs been no levy In the
> rldgo fund for two years , aud there Is still
a balance on hand large enough to meet
all of the requirements of the coming year

. "Old Pat , " the veteran flro horse , was
found dead in his stall yesterday morning.
Death cnmo to him In the night so softly
and gently that none of the friends of the
-
horse knew of his presence. Ho simply laid '
down in his stall and went to sleep. Death
was , of course , duo to old age , but an ex
amination yesterday revealed the fact that
It was greatly hastened by the extraordinary
length attained by his front teeth , which
prevented the back part of his Jaws from
touching by nearly an Inch. The old horse
has been In the department for about twenty
years , and he was 10 years old when ho was
purchased. Ho has had a. most enviable
record in the department. From the first .
ho had an Intelligent conception of his
duties and ho performed them faithfully and
faultlessly. During the time the department
was equipped with ono horse carts hie
record showed that he had gotten his cart
first to the fires more frequently than any
other born ; In the department. Ho has
not a elnglo runaway charged to his ac
count , and for ten years of his tlmo he took
care of his cart after the fires were reached
without any assistance from the other mem
bers of the department. He was never tied
and no amount of excitement could cause
him to leave the fire until the hose was
reeled and tbo driver on the seat. The carl
ho pulled for so many years was no common
affair. It was made by the manufacturers
far exhibition at the Paris International ex-
poultlon and won the gold'medal , Every
scrap of metal about It was either gold
sliver or nickel plated. And the old horse
was Just as proud ot It as the members ol
the department. Hut when the four wheeled
carriages came Into Ube the old cart wai .
relegated to the rear , and with the old
horao drawing It has been doing duty will
the sewer gang for the last five or six years
I'at led an active life until the last sb [
montliu of his existence , when he was laic
off and permitted to enjoy all of the com
forts of life , with none of Us cares a ld
hardships. He was burled yesterday in i
respectable grave.

A remarkable petition was filed In nets
olllco of the clerk of the district court yes
terday. It was un application for an Injunc
tlon to prevent any further Improvement !
or development of their property by the people -
plo who have expended thousands of dollar )
to convert Lake Manawa Into a great sum
mer resort. The Injunction is abked for nby ;
a farmer named Malone , who owns a tsmal
tract of land In the vicinity. The Injunc
tlon U asked as against the Lake Manaw :
Hallway company , Colonel Heed and tin
capitalists who have a fortune Invested li

hat tan Reach Improvement company and all
of the property holders on the south Bid
of the lake.
The petition Is very long and contain
thirteen distinct allegations of damages to
Farmer Malone's property caused by the
efforts of the lake promoters. He asks the
court to enjoin the defendant * from ever
repairing the dam acroso the outlet of the
lake , which has been annually destroyed
by unknown persons. He asks the. court to
require the men who turned the current ot
Mosquito creek Into the lake to turn It
hack again Into Its natural channel , nnd In
the end asks that they be restrained from
In any way attempting to maintain the water-
Ill the "pond which was once the bed ot

The city council held a brief session last
veiling for the purpooo of receiving the
eport of the finance committee and fixing
ho tax levy for 1808. The levy as reported
y the committee was approved and ordered
o be certified up to the county treasurer.
Whllo the council was discussing the
financial affairs of the- city Alderman Atkins |
sked If thcro was not some means by which
ho city could get the benefit of something j
n the way of Interest on the funds that
are required to be accumulated In the slnk-
ng funds. Ho thought that the report of
.ho finance committee that there was over
$30,000 lying Idle In ono of these funds
should attract the attention of the council
and call for the suggestion of some plan
whereby the city might get some of the
earnings of this fund. The very fund for
which this money was set aside consti
tuted ono of the largest Items In
he city's Interest account. It required the
annual payment of an Interest charge ot $15.-
000 , and he thought there ought to be enough
ntcrest collected on the $30,000 to pay an
equivalent amount of Interest on the bonds
t was hoarded to pay. The question of de
positing It In the banks and taking a bcrnS
from the banker to secure It was dlscu.ssec ?
n the committee meeting during the after
noon , and the fact was discovered that such
a course would exonerate the bondsmen of
the city treaburcr from all liability , and It
was not pressed any further ,
The bridge committee was authorized to
purcha e a sufficient quantity of oak lumber
to repair the Scott street bridge without
delaying the work to order a carload.
Alderman Atkins made a verbal report
that seriously affected the police regulations
on Cut Off. He had been Instructed by the
council to investigate and report upon the
advliablllty of renewing the lease of a small
building on the 'Island that has been used
by the city for a number of years as a tem
porary Jail. The alderman reported against
continuing the Jail. He said his Investiga
tions disclosed the fact that although the
city had been paying for the use of the buildIng -
Ing all of the time It had not been used for
any purpose and not a prisoner had been
confined In It for more than two years. The
rental was only $5 a month , but that amount
was simply given to the owner of the old
shack for no consideration whatever. He
also reported against the advisability of con
tinuing one of the regular police officers on
duty there , and said that his Investigations
had shown that the officer was as unneces
sary as the empty Jjll , and he advised the
discontinuance of both. After some- unavail
ing objection by Alderman Shubert , whoso
ward embraces the Island , the report was ap
proved and the Island Is now without a Jail
or n police ofllcer.
After the transaction of some minor busi
ness the council adjourned to meet
at 9:30 : Saturday evening.

NEW YORK , Aug. 2t.-The disastrous
operations by eleventh hour operators were
demonstrated In the wheat maket today.
Falling to secure the necessary amount of bull
news . these belated operators punctured the
bull bubble and the price ( ell with a crash tea
a point over S cents a bushel under the top
notch for the year. At the outset , although
signs of a collapse were manifest In the un
certain wavering of prlcra and freedom of
offerings , the- bull leaders endeavored to ar
rest the threatened deluge by pointing out
the comparative eteadln-as of Liverpool quota
tlcns and the frosty weather conditions In the
northwest. For n time those Influences had
some effect , but tlie market vvas unmistakably
tooheavy and soon broke through all re
stralnts , reaching the lowest figure In the
parly afternoon , when December , after having
opened at $1.00 li , sold at 93',4 cents. Forelgi
houses operated on both sides , but were
chiefly conspicuous as sellers , led by the con
tinent. A feature of the trading wns the
comparative heaviness of December , which
widened out to 24 discount under Septem
ber at onetlmo during the day. Frencti
c.iblca were particularly weak , clcelng at 20
centimes to one franc net decline on whea'
and 70 to 00 points lower on flnur. Th l.'v
erpool decline for the day was 3U
on futures , with cpot quoted arm at
decline.
Today's break shook out a great many o :
the weaker holders without disturbing tin
big lines , many of which still remain to
higher prices. In the early afternoon sell
Ing was sharply arrested by the heavy expor
purchases Induced by the dip In prices. Tin
news wad followed by a quick rise of a cen
a bushel , after which values again yielded ti
the pressure of long wheat , which continue *
mcTo or lesa freely all the forenoon. Sprint
wheat reports were offset by largo offerings o
wheat In the southwest. The market closec
unsettled at 3 % cents decline. Sales for th
day reached nearly 17,000.000 bushels , glvini
.some Idea of the enormous dumping of Ion
wheat. Some of the afternoon reports mad
export purchases upward of sixty-nine load ;
at Now York and outports , but thla could no
all bo confirmed. The range on September
wheat was from 97 % cents to $1.01. closlni
at 97 % cents. December sold from 95 % cent
to $1.01 % , and closed at 95 % cents. No.
northern , New York , was nominally wort
$1.05 % , and Mo. 2 red. $1.02 % .

CHICAGO. Aug. 24. Wheat broke 5 cent
a bushel today , and closed wlthlu % cents o
the lowest of the session. Weakness In Llv
erpool and selling here by Qudahy war
largely responsible for the , slump , althoug"
the market was In shape to break wjie
Cudahy began a raid. The hiarkj > t was give :
no support , and standing stop loss orders wcri
reached for over an hour after thp decline wai
started. People with so-called pyramid trade
and others with profits were In haste to ge
out. The market , however , was not broad
More timidity w'a ' exhibited even than o
the recent boom. Just before the close I
was asserted that the December wheat of th
bull crowd had all been liquidated , and tha
they only had now a line of the Septembe
option. The decided change In relative prlci
of the two options was one Qf the c\\i ] \
features of the day's trading. Septembe
which early sold up to 98 cents , finally went
la low as 91 cents , and left off nt 91 % cents
oa compared with 96 cents at the clcse yester
day. December , which quit yesterday at
35 % centsor U cent under September , fin
ished today at 90U cents , fully 1 % centa be
low September.
The bull pool which has been so success
fully handling enormous lines of wheat , corn
and oats on 'change , announced at the clcee
today that they were practically out of the
market with the exception of n little Sep
tember wheat which they say they will take
on delivery day. The announcement that
the pool had liquidated Its holdings caused
a feeling of great relief among brokers gen
erally. It had been felt for several days
that the pool had been trying to do too
much. When the campaign on wheat wrs
begun several months ago It was regarded
as a very difficult undertaking. The bulls
became masters of the situation , aided by
the news from abroad and piled up enormous
profits In a short time. When the same
pool went Into corn to the extent of about
10,000,000 bushels and oats amounting to
about G 000,000 bushels , nervousness was re
newed. So long as everything kept moving
up. however. It was not very acute.
The bull difficulties began with the spec
tacular calling of wheat on Saturday at
$1.05 , when It could have been bought
cheaper In. the pit. When prices began to
drop on Monday , margin calling Increased
- and the anxiety was relieved only by the
announcement tonight that practically every
thing had been sold out. Although It WED
believed that the line of December corn
showed a loss , George French , who has been
handling the deals for the pool , says every
thing was sold at a profit. He says that
several prominent grain merchants pooled
yesterday and forced him to unload. The
corn pit today was the scene of enormous
dealings. One broker sold In one hour
4,000,000 bushels owned by the pool.

When Davis died In 1S90 , his estate was
valued at $5,000,000. Of this Andrew J.
Davis , Jr. , a nephew of the dead millionaire ,
waa given stock of the First National hank
of Btltto valued at $2,000,000 , " by an alleged
deathbed bequest. The stock of the Hutte
and IJoston Mining company , valued then at
$2,500,000 , has since been sold to the re
organization committee of that company for
$180,000. An Inventory filed with the peti
tion gives the amount of cash In the ad
ministrator's hands as $972,000 ; real estate ,
$200,000 ; notes , $110,000 ; property In the

right away. In the agreement dropping the
contest all the blood relatives of the dead
millionaire are taken care of but Diana

The formar Is barred by the statute or
limitation , never having been a party to the
contest. Erwln Davis Is also barred for tht
