nnd was committed by the commissioners
to St. Bernard's hospital for observation.
After a few days' treatment there his con
dition was BO much Improved that on Sep
tember 10 ho was ordered discharged. A
few days ago , however , ho suffered a re
lapse and commenced to again show signs
of mental weakness. Thursday night his
wife missed him from the house and found
him wandering up and down the garden.
When ho percehed his wife coming ho ran
around the house , calllnc to her not to
stop htm , that he had to go up to the moon ,
ns the people up there had Bent him word
that they wanted him at once. An ex
mnlnatlon by Dr. Thomas of the Board of

A tabulation by City Engineer Etn > rc
of the bids for paving opened by the city
council Wednesday night shows E. A. Wick
ham to bo the lowest bidder on all classes
of brick and the contract will undoubted ! !
ho nwaided to him nt the regular meeting
of the city fathers next Slonday night. The
total amount of paving ordered Is In round
numbers 16,000 square yards and the amount
of .tho contract will depend on the brick
used for the top course. The choice of kind
of brick has been left by the council with
the property owners Interested and who
will have to pay for the paving Should
they decide on the homo product for botl
top and bottom courses It will mean a. sav
ing on the cntlro contract of about $4,000 ,
as ithe cost ot the paving If only Council
Bluffs brick Is used will amount to some
thing like $20,000 , while If Des Molnes brick
Is used for the top course It will cost somr
$4,000 more , and If Qnlcsburg brick should
bo selected as the material for the top
coutso It will Increase the amount of the
contract about $7,000.
Wlckham's bids were DCS Molnes brick ,
$1.39i ; Oalesburg brick , $107'4 ; St. Joe or
Nebraska City brick , $1.32. These prices
vvero for cosh , with G per cent added foi
certificates , the bottom course In each case
to bo Council Bluffs brick. His bid foi
Council Bluffs brick , both top and bottom
courses , was $1.22 for certificates , less It
per cent for cash. The cost of the paving
will have to bo figured on the certificate
price as none of It It Is expected will bo paid
for In cash.
It may bo that on nil the streets ordered
paved the same material will bo used , al
though that will not bo known until the
meutlng of the city council Monday night ,
at which tlmo the Interested property own-
era are to state their preferences. There
Is qulto an agitation for the use ot the
home-mado material and several of the al
dermen are strongly In favor of using Coun
cil Bluffs brick exclusively , provided all
'things ' are equal. Aldermen Chrlstenson ,
Brough and Johnson are three of the city
fathers who are most outspoken on the
matter.
Argument for Homo Brick.
The champions of the home-mado product
point to the paving on Willow avenue ,
where nothing but Council Bluffs brick was
used , as an example nnd an argument that
the money expended on paving should be
kept nt home. The paving on Willow ave
nue they claim is as good today as It was
when laid several > ears ago. They also in
sist that the Council Ulufts brick when
propel ly burned nnd laid Is not as liable to
chip at the edges as the Des Molnes vitrified
brick Is. That the DCS Molnes product is
liable to chip at the edges , they assert , Is
demonstrated by the paving on Pearl street.
With the exception of some on North
Main street It does not appear that many of
the property owners interested in the pav
ing are in favor of using Council Bluffs
brick for the top course. It is admitted by
many of them that undoubtedly Just as good
brick could be made here as anywhere else ,
but a creat deal would depend on the effi
ciency ot the Inspectors employed by the
city. For Instance , they argue that the
manufacturers of the Dea Molnes brick
would not rlak shipping out any defective
brick for fear of having to pay the freight
both ways on It If discarded by the con
tractor or Inspector , while , on the other
hand , the local brick maker would only be
at the expense of the haul from his kilns to
the street being caved and unless the Inspector
specter Is constantly on the alert there will
bo opportunities for poor brick to escape his
attention and be laid. This , however , the
local manufacturers say they will guard
against and If their product Is used will
guarantee they will make and provide Just
as good brick as ever came from Des
Molnos , Gnlesburg or anywhere else.
Alderman Johnson stated yesterday when
discussing the matter that he Is In favor of
using the homo material , first , last and all
the tlmo , provided the local brick makers
will nut out a brick that would equal the
foreign article.
It Is said that the majority of the prop
erty owners on Aveni'e F , ono of the streets
ordered paved , are In favor of DCS Molnes
brick for the top course and will present
a pcteltlon to that effect at the council
meeting Monday night. Several of the
property owners on Bryant street have also
expressed themselves In favor of the Des
Molnes article.
Some Mar Go Over.
It Is doubtful If Washington avenue Harrison
risen and Frank street will bo paved this
year. At the time that the council passed
the resolution ordering the street paved a
verbal agreement was entered Into with the
abutting property owners that no paving
would bo done this year unlcbs n , majority
of the property owners petitioned for It.
Phil Wnrcham , who heads those anxious
for the work to bo done this year , pre
sented a petition nt 'the ' last meeting of the
council , which at the time was said to
be signed by a majority of those Interested
Henry Rlshton , who owns considerable
property on the avenue , has another peti
tion protesting against paving this year
and says his protest bears the signatures
of the majority of the property owners.
Some of those Interested are said to be
indifferent whether the paving is laid this
year or next and have signed both the pell-
tlon and the protest and the council will
have to figure out for Itself next Monday
night which faction has carried.

In a pickle. The first work of the commit
tee upon opening headquarters In Des
Molues was to prepare and scud out to all
the well known leaders In the party nicely
worded Invitations to take nn active part
In the campaign. These letters were
couched In language which fairly bristled
with patriotic sentiment nnd glowed with
hope. It was said that the piesent cam
paign presented the opportunity of the cen
tury to defeat that enemy of good govern
ment and free silver , the republican party.
Clerks carried these mlsslvefe to the post-
ofllco by the armful nnd the committee set
tled Itbelf comfortably to await returns ,
but the answers that hnvo been received
arc most surprising to the committee. The
men who have always scncd ns wheel
horses bay they cannot swallow the
Marshalltown platform and positively refuse
to take the stump. Some do not stop with
this , but politely Inform the committee that
they will act with the republicans. Even
ex-Governor Boles sent a declination
couched In unmistakable terms.
Walter Collins , the 13-year-old son of

toothache for some time and visited the
dentist nud had it extracted. For some un
known reason a heavy hemorrhage set In
and though several doctors were called the
bleeding could not bo stopped. His life
gradually < -bbe < l away and a llttlo before

The first letter asking for tiansportatlon

for his men who nro due at Camp McKlnley
on the 20th of October. The Fifty-second
men arc duo on the llth , nearly ten days
earlier. Transportation as far as possible
\\111 be sent to company stations and the
soldiers at the adjacent points will bo ex
pected to start from there. Where the men
are entirely removed from company stations
they will bo scut transportation directly
from their homes to Des Molnes.
Goveinor Shaw authorized the statement
this morning that any ot the soldiers home
on furlough and wishing to return to local
hospitals , where they will receive the best
of care at the hands of the government , will
be furnished transportation. This decision
ho has made because of numerous letters
which come to him asking him to pay doc
tor bills of Blck boys who have gone home.
Ho says the state cannot aftord to pay the
hills , but that It will gladly bring the boys
back hero nnd care for them.

Angelica Haller of Anthon has been brought

The case of this unfortunate woman has
been heard of before , but her mania Is a
peculiar one. She insists that President Mc-
Klnley has $50.000 belonging to her , and she
wants It. This Is not a new hallucination
with her. Once before she startled her husband -
band by telling him of this gift of money
from the president. He knew nt once that

SIOUX C1TV , Sept. 30. ( Special. ) "No
Eectlon of the country has produced better
apples this year than has the territory con
tlguoua to Sioux City , Including north
western Iowa , northeastern Nebraska and
southeastern South Dakota , " declared 1. N.
S tone before ho took a train for Ponca ,
Neb. , at which placeho has n large apple
orchard.
Mr. Stone Is quite enthusiastic over the
possibilities of this section for apple grow
ing. Ih > savs the soil nud the cllmato are
well adapted to the production of apples ,
nnd ho thinks the prospects for the devel
opment of the Industry are bright , lu
imst years , It seems , some of the fruit
growers of this vicinity became discouraged
through the lack of success In growing np-
plcs and came to the conclusion that the
conditions hero nro not suitable for apple
growing. Mr. Stone declares now that there
Is not a section In the country which has
produced as good an apple crop this > ear
as has the Sioux City territory.
There are 6,000 apple trees In Sherwood's
orchard near Ponca , Neb. , which Is the
apple Held In which Mr. Stone Is Inter
ested with Day Bros , of Ponca. About one-
half of the tiecs bore fruit this year , the
other half being yet too young On trees
from ten to twelve > ears old the yield was ,
from three to six bushels per tree , which
Is nn excellent yield. About fifteen vari
eties of apples are grown In this orchard ,
the most prominent varieties being as fol
lows. Duchess of Oldcubcrg , Wealthy , Ben
Davis , Snow , Walbrldge , Jonathan , Jcan-
nctto and Hans.
All the apples which have been taken
from the Sherwood orchard have been bold
to a local commission house. This firm
has received apples this year from Michi
gan , Missouri and other sections , but the
buyer assured Mr. Stone that only ono ship
ment of apples received this year could
compare with the fruit which came from
the Ponca farm. The apples of which the
commission man spoke had come from Hur
ley , S. D , where borne fine fruit has been
grown this season. "Michigan and Mlssouil
apples , " said Mr Stone , "seemingly are out
classed this year by South Dakota , Ne
braska and Iowa apples.
"As for the unusual success with which
apple growers have met this year , " he said.
"I would say It IB due largely to two
caiibcs , besides the excellence of the boll
and cllmato. We have had no trouble what
ever with bugs , which sometimes play
havoc with apple crops This section of the
country Is llttlo bothered by Insects. An
other thing , wo have had no frosts to Injure
the growth of the fruit. Everything has
been conducive to the best success.
"To my mind , " continued Stone , "this
part of the country has a future before it
as an apple-growing section , if fruit grow
ers will only take hold of the matter and
take advantage of the conditions. If they
have met with dlbcouragements In the past ,
It was bocaiibo they did not have the benefit
of the expeilence of which they can now
avail themselves. Some tried to grow ten
der varieties of the fruit here nnd met with
failure because the conditions were not
adapted to such varieties. It has since
been found , however , that other vntletlob
can be grown hero with success and great
success , too. "

The athletic
woman is the wo
man of the day.
The past twenty
years has seen
wonderful p r o -
grcs3 in tins re
spect. That this
tendency will re
sult in a more ro
bust womanhood ,
better able to bear
the burdens and
duties and pleasures -
ures of life , there
can he no ques
tion. But this
result will he ac
complished by
the building up
of those women
already in rea
sonably robust
health , nnd the
killing off of their
weaker bisters.
Athletics will
mate a naturally strong woman stronger
and healthier ; they will make a naturally
weak , blclcly woman weaker and more
sickly , and if indulged in to excess , may
result fatally.
A woman who suffers from weakness nnd
disease of the delicate and important or
gans distinctly feminine , cannot hope to
recover her general health through ath
letics , so lone as she remains locally weak.
A woman suffering1 in this way is unfitted
to bear the strain of athletics just as much
as bhe is unfitted to bear the duties nnd
burdens of vvlfchood and motherhood.

nent cure for all disorders of this descrip
tion. It is Dr. Picrce's 1'avorite Prescrip
