JURY SECURED AND STATEMENTS MADE Twelve Mm Selected irltli Little Diffi culty inmiritticc. . Companion Show mi Active Intercut la tlic Cnne. In the district court yesterday the day was spent In getting n Jury to try the damage suit of Deere. Wells & Co. against the Chicago , Milwaukee & St. Paul Hallway Company. The twelve men were finally agreed upon late In the afternoon and the attorneys made their opening statements to the Jury. The Jury Is made up chiefly of fanners , and Is composed of V. B. Perry of Quick , farmer ; Thomas Flndley , Council Bluffs , former railway clerk In the Wabash olllces ; George W. Spencer , ( Neola , farmer ; J. 'H. Murphy , Council B'luffs , formerly .a contractor , now a farmer ; Oliver Smith , Council Bluffs , farmer ; IH. J. Smith , Coun cil Bluffs , fruit raiser ; John Barkhuff , Loveland - land , farmer ; A. Louie , Council Bluffs , re tired restaurant man ; J. P. Walters , Coun cil BlulTs , mcdlc.il student ; J. D. Johnson , Council Bluffs , real estate agent ; K. W. Fro- hardt , Keg Creek , farmer ; Frank Hoosa , Weston , farmer. A majority of the Jury men were entirely unfamiliar with the Inci dent of the destruction of the big agricul tural Implement warehouses toy fire. The most Interesting Incident that trans pired during the day occurred when Flnley Burke appeared as one of the counsel for the plaintiffs. John 'N. ' Baldwin , the chief counsel for the defense , objected to the ap pearance of Mr. Burke In the case at this Juncture and asked the court ta require him to make the proper showing that ho was engaged by the plaintiffs. The order was promptly compiled Avlth by 'Mr. Burke showIng - Ing that ho had been retained by the Insur ance companies that had paid $54,000 of the losses on the stock and 'buildings ' destroyed. This was chiefly Interesting for the reason that It showed for the first time In an offi cial way that the Insurance companies which bad paid the losses aggregating $97,000 were Interested In the prosecution. In the opening statements the attorneys detailed the story of the fire which on the evening of December 13 , 1895 , destroyed two of the largest agricultural Implement ware houses In the city and a factory for making combination fencing. The fire broke out shortly after G o'clock In the evening , ap pearing first In a wooden warehouse belong ing to the Shugart Implement company , which adjoined the large brick structure filled with the goods of Pecre , Wells & Co. and spreading across Main stfcct to the fence works. Th"6 suit was partially tried In the federal court two years ago and after running for ten days was dismissed by the plaintiffs without prejudice and started anew In the district court. The whole suit will turn upon the question of the direction the wind was blowing at the time. The plaintiffs claim that It was coming strongly from the southwest and had carried sparks or 'burning ' papers from a pile of rubbish and weeds that the Milwaukee Hallway com pany's employes had been burning during the afternoon on a triangular piece ot ground belonging to the company and located on the west side of the street Just south of the fence works. The defendants Insist that the wind was blowing from the southeast , mak ing It Impossible for sparks or burning bits of paper to have been carried Into either of the .buildings , If the men engaged In watching the flre had been careless or negli gent. The assertion Is made , however , that the men were not negligent and that all the fire had died out 'before ' 5 o'clock. Slack Peterson , who had charge of the gang of men engaged In the -work of burning away the rubbish , end -who Is a track foreman , was made a. party defendant by the attor neys for the plaintiff for the purpose of bringing and maintaining- suit In the state court. Nearly 100 witnesses are to to examined , which will Include all of the members of the flre department on duty at the time , attaches of the weather 'bureau at Omaha and a largo number of railway men and citi zens , who will ejideavor to satisfy the jury AS to the direction of the wind. The mass of evidence tobe taken will carry the case along for a couple ofweeks. . 1'lctnro Frame * Half Price. All frames and pictures just half their former price. Not a frame or picture re served.

In some manner Otto or "Duth" Kaylor , a young man who was present , be came Involved In the difficulty , and formed an alliance with the southern army man and took ! a leading part In the assault upon the northern veteran.

At the regular meeting of the executive committco of the Council Bluffs Exposition association last night the assistance of the women was asked In aiding the association to carry through Its plans for the construc tion of the wigwam and making the contem plated exhibit. A resolution was passed asking them to assist In raising funds and a committco was appointed to confer with the officers of all of the women's clubs In the city for that purpose. , A now plan In connection with the ulterior use of the wigwam structure after It shall have served Us usefulness on the exposition grounds was discussed. It suggested that It should bo be brought back and erected as a permanent structure , provided a suitable and central location could be secured , and used for any purpose requiring a largo auditorium. The plan was looked upon with a good deal of favor , and It Is believed It will assist the committee In raising : money by subscription If It Is known that the building will become a permanent and useful structure. A com mittee , consisting of V. B. 'Bender , J. P. Hess and J. P. Qrcenshlclds , was appointed to look around for a suitable site and obtain propositions from the owners of vacant Jots centrally located. General Test submitted a resolution , which was passed , looking toward Inducing the Burlington Railway company to run Its castbound fast trains through Council Blufts Instead of Plattsmouth , and also suggested the advisability of making better connec tions at Pacific Junction and Crcston. President Graham and George F. Wright wer& appointed a committee to go to Omaha this morning and close the negotiations pendltrg with the exposition management for the wigwam site. Secretary Judson reported a conversation with Senator Pusoy concerning the situa tion at 'Dea ' Motncs In relation to the appro priation for the Iowa building and exhibit. The situation was very discouraging. Senator Pusoy declared that he stood almost alone In the senate In favor of the appropriation , and Representative Potter was In the same situa tion In the house. All of the senators and representatives who were so favorably Im pressed with the prospects of the exposition and declared themselves so heartily In favor of a liberal appropriation on the occasion of the recent visit had heard from their con stituents , and the cry of poverty and state debt had been renewed to a degree that Us effect had become almost paralyzing. The senator was making the hardest kind of a fight for a good allowance and declared that he would not let up until he bad accom plished the much desired object or was shut off by the final adjournment.

VlewH of HIP PreMldent of the Nn- tlonnl ConurcHM of 'Mother ' * . In an Interesting Interview In the Now York Tribune iMrs. T. W. Blrney , president ot the National Congress of Mothers , during her last visit to New York , liad this to say about the best way of bringing up a child : "There Is a natural tendency on the part of parents to exhibit their offspring , and every ono Is more or less familiar with the process of 'showing oft tbo baby. ' That such a proceeding is Injurious in Its effect upon the character of a child no thinking person can deny. The child of 2 years or thereabouts who Is regularly called upon to lisp his newly learned phrases tor each guest and to attempt the singing of some popular comic song has an Injustice perpe trated upon It which should not be tolerated In this enlightened age. "Anything which tends to make a child self-conscious Is a demoralizing factor In Its education. The greatest charm of childhood Is Its unconsciousness , its spontaneity ; these attributes , destroyed through the sclflsn egotism of parents , with what result ? Chil dren who are p rt , jiarroty llttlo prigs , manifesting- the ( undercut age a desire For admiration and attention which Is simply appalling , when one conBlders to what It may lead. There Is no picture In the world more beautiful than healthy , happy children at play , and why not leave them their dollies , their sand plica , or their blocks when callers como ? A glimpse ot them thus will bo en joyable , refreshing ! and , bellevo me , the suestwill carryr away a far pleasanter memory than If bojed ; by a forced display of baby's 'wonderful , guteness. ' "Ono need only watch for an hour or sea a few babies at pay | , { o discover that eorao of them are already J(3vain ( , as fond of show and as Intolerant of the rights of their com panions as the menraijd women ono not In frequently meets In ; society. " "But what Is to bo qono In such a case ? " Interrupted the reporter , with a owltt recog nition of the truth of the picture. "Such children are to be pitied , " said Mrs Blrney , "and their parents condemned. Ig norance of the proper method to pursue In training a child can no longer servo as an excuse to the average parent , since the world Is waking to a recognition that ot all the wonderful things which claim Its attention at present , the latent power for good or evil In the llttlo child Is the moat wonderful. Hcnco all current literature teems with ar ticles helpful to the mental , moral and phys ical well being ot the little ones. "If mothers would give one-tenth the tlmo that they so cheerfully devote to fashlcn plates and magazines to etudy of child na ture , from the point of view of those whoso lives ate spent In this work , we would soon have another race of beings. "U Is qulto true that a child cannot be taught manners and consideration for others too early , but It Is one thing to have the toddler extend a nco hand In greeting or adieu and qulto another to make It the cen ter ot Interest throughout a visitor's stay , "Such Influence upon the character of the child Is bad from the beginning and most of the jealousy which children manifest toward their younger brothers or sisters has Its ori gin In the Indiscreet adulation lavished upon baby whllo ho was monarch of all ho sur veyed. " "In what way does this effect the growth of character ? " questioned the reporter again. To which Mrs. Blrney responded : "There U no characteristic which will re tard true development so much as that of self-sufllclency. Ttio boy whoso homo life has been such as to foster the belief that what he docs Is beyond criticism Is Ill- adapted to receive Instruction In any field , as his me.iUil attitude Is combative , rather thin receptive , and his assumption of 'I know It all' prejudices teachers and pupils alike. "Many evils follow In the train of a spirit of Intolerance , and It Is this spirit into which the willfulness of a little child often develops. The waywardness of a pretty baby Is at times amusing , and tlicro Is a dis position to make light of chlldlrd ebullitions of temper , but the lesson of self-control cannot bo taught too early , and none cut deny ttat tbo parents who have boqucathu thla Inheritance to their children have glvci them that which Is of far more value thai all the wealth of Golconda.

In the Mnrrh Century there Is an artlcl on "Tho Mammoth Cave of Kentucky , " bj John R. Proctor , formerly state geologls of Kentucky , with Illustrations by Andr Castolgne. Mr. Proctor. In describing- tour of the cave , says : Some dlstancp on wo come upon two ston cottages built against ono of the walls o the avenue. These are the remains of a number that were built In the cave In 184 ! for the abode of consumptive patients. I was believed that the pure air of the cave would effect o cure and fifteen consumptive took up their aboJe hero , and remained fo five months without going outside. It Is raid that when they did go out three died before they could reach the hotel. Something more than purity Is required sunlight. It is said that the saltpeter miners had remark able health whllo working In the cave , am persons with weak lungs are certainly ben efited by short walks In this atmosphere I believe. In tlmo , that these Immense res ervoirs of dry , pure , antiseptic air will bo utilized for the euro of consumption anc asthma , not by sending the patient Into the cave , but by bringing the air Into sun- lighted sanitariums on tbo dry , well-drained elevated sandstone plateaus about the caves We know the air Is dry , because the timber carlrrd In In 1812 has not decayed , and Iron lilnges have been here since 1843 , and show no sign of rust. We know the air Is pure , because hero animal matter does not decay , but simply dries up. The mummies found In the caves were not prepared memmles , but simply desiccated bodies. The uniform temperature of from 53 degrees to 54 de crees the year round has -been - demonstrated. Consumptives take long sea voyages ana visit high altitudes to get the benefit of aceptlo atmosphere ; but they suffer from variations of temperature , from storms and at high altitudes exercise cannot be taken , while the cave air predisposes ono to take exercise with llttlo fatigue. I have known delicate women to walk for nine hours In the case , clambering up steep ascents and over rocks , and come out of the cave feeling no sense of fatigue until they reached the warm , Impure air outside , charged with the odors of decayed vogenrtlon , when they would almost faint , and would require assistance In ascending the path to the hotel. Wo think the atmosphere In the glen at the entrance remarkable for purity before we have become sensitive by hours In the pure atmosphere of the cave. I once w ent with a friend and a guide to Roaring river and several other remote places , which re quired remaining In the cave over night. It wcs night when we came oat , and w o had become GO sensitive by our tay of thirty-six hours In the pure air of the cave that wo were almost overcome by the suffocating mephltlc odors amd oppressiveness of the outer air. We dreaded to Inhale It Into our lungs , and returned again and again Into the pure air flowing from the cave. Air freed from bacteria Is ono of the main reasons for success In modern surgery and n sanitarium Into which this air could bo pumped would doubtless be resorted to for difficult surgical operations. Consumptives In high altitudes are compelled to remain in doors In winter weather and breathe the vitiated air of closed rooms , while In sani tariums supplied with cave air , by letting the art In at the upper part of the rooms and out at the lower part , all exhalations would pass out and pure air would , bo constantly rushing in at a uniform temperature , winter and summer. Then It would bo a boon If wo could escape the oppressive heat of sum mer Into hotels kept cool and pure by the air from these great dry caves. IXST FOR TK.V DAYS. Experience of Tuo.Men 111 11 MIclilKim Illlxxuril. George Avis and Patrick 'Barry ' recently had a terrible experience In northern Michi gan which lasted ten days and during which they suffered all the Imaginable pangs of cold and hunger , on a small Island eight miles from Thessalon , and as a result of tbo hardships they endured George Avis died and his companion may not recover , Mr. Avis formerly lived at Sault Ste. Marie and Is well known , relates the Milwaukee Wisconsin. He was a brother-in-law of Mrs. Barney Doyle. Mr. Avis was aiiixirlntendent of the Cockburn Island operations of the Dolour Lumber company , 'Mr , Avis and his companion drove from the Island with a team across the Ice to ThesEalon , twenty- Soap Sharing- isn't pleasant to think of. It's slovenly. and unclean. Put how are you going ) to be sure that your soap is used only ! by yourself ? Particular people use ) Pyle's Pearline. That solves the problem. They fill a salt shaker or sifter with Pearline. Then they use that instead of soap , for the toilet or the bath , with no fear , of using it after anybody else. A Pearline bath is like a Turkish bath in freshening you * and bracing you up. three mllee distant , after mippllcs. They loft Thess.ilon the following morning At 7 oclock. The weather was bitterly cold and etormy. They had A heavy load. About 10 o'clock the next morning their sleigh got Into n largo crack In 'tho Ice , through which water had flowed , covcrlnc the Ice several Inches deep. Their sleigh stuck fast. Night cnmo And they had been unable to cxtrlcato their rig. They covered themselves up as best they could In the sleigh , blanketed the horses nuJ remained tlicro that night. The following morning , convinced that It was an utter Impossibility to free their sleigh , the two men concluded to got on their horses and make- for homo. While Berry was getting the team ready Mr. Avis accidentally stepped from the Blclgli , went through the crust and got wet to above the knees. A blizzard WAS raging. The men hung onto the horses for awhile and then- decided to try to mnko their \\ay homo afoot. 1I1XTS FOIL THIS VliliT. Never come from high hcols to low heels at ono jump. Never wear n shoo that presses up Into the hollow of the foot. Novcr wear a shoo that will not allow the great too to He In a straight lino. Never wear leather solo linings to stand upou. White cottcn drilling or linen Is much better and more healthful. Never wear a shoo with a solo narrower than the outline ot the foot traced with a pencil close under the rounding edge. Never wear a ehoo that pinches the heel. Never wear a shoo or boot so largo In the heel that the foot Is not kept In place. Novcr wear a shoo that pinches the heol. Mover wear a shoo or boot so largo In the hcol that the foot Is not kept In place. Never wear a shoo or boot that has depres sions In any part of the solo to drop any Joint o rbearlng below the level plane. Never wear a shoo with a solo turning up very much at the toes , as this causes the cords on the upper part ot the foot to con tract. . Never wear ono pair of bhoes all the tlmo unless obliged to do so. Two pairs of boots worn a day at a time alternately give mori fiorvlco and arc much more healthful. Novcr think that the feet will grow large from wearing proper shoes. Plnclikig and distorting makes them grow not only large but unsightly. A proper , natural use of all the muscles makes them compact and at tractive. Never wear a ehort stocking1 , or ono which , after being washed , Is not at least ono-hnlf Inch longer than the foot. Boar In mind that stockings shrink. Bo sure that they will allow your toes to spread out at the extreme ends , as this keeps the Joints In place and makes a strong and attractive foot. As to shape of stockings , the single digital OT "one-toe" stocking Is the best.
