Contracts for the laying of approximately
seven miles of brick sidewalk aro to bo let
by the city council tonight, the bids for
which were opened at tho meeting of the
council last week nnd referred to tho city
engineer for tabulation. This tabulation
shows that L. C. Hesley Is low on tho six
and five-foot walks and that, taking the
grndlng Into consideration, John P. Weaver
Is low on tho four-foot walks west of Eighth
street nnd Ilesley low on the four-foot
walks east of ibat dividing line.
Of the four-foot walks there aro six and
a half miles to bo laid, of which four and
a half miles aro west of Eighth street nnd
two miles cast. Thus If tho council In
nwardlng tho hlda takes tho grading Into
consideration Hcsley will secure by far the
largest end of the contract. Of the six and
five-foot walks there are 2.S00 lineal feet to
be laid. Tho bids as tabulated follow:
Slx-Foot Walks John Shlnklc, 41 cents.
John M. Harden, 40 cents; E. A. Wlckham,
37H cents; John P. Weaver, 34 cents; L. C.
Besley, 34.54 cents.

Weaver. 204 cents; Desley, 3 Hi cents.
Four-Font AValks Shlnklo, 20 cents; Har
den. 2S cents; Wlckham, 211.9 cents; Weavor,
24. ft cents; Hesley, 25 rents,
Tho prices quoted for tho grading by tho
several bidders are as follows:
West of Eighth Street Shlnkle. 25 cente,;
Harden, 25 cents; Wlckham, 23fe cents;

East of Eighth Street Shlnkle. 25 cents;
Harden. 25 cents; Wlckham. 23M, cents;
Weaver. 25 cents: Hesley, 23 cents.
Considerable grading will havo to bo done
and consequently the prices quoted for this
part of the work will. It Is expected, cut
quite a figure '.n the awarding of the con
tracts. The bids are said In the engineer's
offices to bo tho closest on record.
Mnynr Phillips tn Slinkr llniuls.
Mayor T. J. Phillips of Ottumwa, demo

to bo In Council Hluffs Wednesday. No
arrnnsementa havo been made for a public,
mooting and It Is not believed that Mr.
Phillips will mako any nttempt to mako a
public speech. Ho Is not a plntform orator
and will content himself with meeting tho
local lenders of democracy and formulating
plans for the campaign In Pottawattamie
county and this city. Ono of tho leading
democrats unlet yesterday: "Mr. Phillips
will not make any speech while, here, I be
lieve, as ho Is no talker, hut he Is a great
handshaker. His visit hero Is simply to
meet tho leaders of tho party In Pottawat

of having a public meeting on tho day Mr.

No Ten pot Full of Gold.
A story to the effect that $10,000 In gold
hidden In nn'old tin teapot had been found
by a workmnn while cleaning out the cellar
of the old Offlcor & Pusoy bank building,
wont the rounds of tho city yesterday, but
was without foundation.
As tho story went, the workman, who
was employed by Colonel Charles R. Han

uncovered an old tin teapot and was much

tho workman found tho pot was full of
shining $20 gold pieces to tho amount of
$10,000.
How the story got started could not be

Kxtrniirillnnry Aptitude Dlsnlnyril hy
WmI Imllnn Children.
"Ono of the oddest things I came across
In my wanderings," said a traveler recently
returned from tho West Indies, to a New
York Tribune man, "was tho extraordinary
aptitude of negro children for mental arith
metic. I visited li good many of the public
schools nnd saw eomo astonishing exhibi
tions of this faculty, whlrh Is probably the
Inst with which one would credit tho grnnd
chlldren of African savages, as many of tho
West Indian negro children are. Tho cur
rency of tho Islands Is, of course, Hrlttsh,
so that calculations of any sort are more
complicated than with us. Yet an Inspector
or visitor ran ask a school full of ragged
urchins what would be tho cost of seven
gross of hnndknrchlefs nt 5 pence 3 farth
ings apiece and receive the nnswer nlmost
as soon ns tho words are out of his mouth,
and doubtless long before he had himself
worked It nut. This can he kept up all
day, to the great enjoyment of the chil
dren, who regard that sort of thing as
port.
The same children, when confronted with
a reader, may make sad work of It and
srem certainly llttlo above tho r.verage.
Even w'hen mndo to do sums on a slate thev
are not brighter than most white children.
Perhaps that statement should bo qualified,
for thero Is no doubt that the children of
pure-blooded Africans develop phenome
nally for tho first five or six years of their
lives nnd, Indeed, until 12 or 13 yenrs old,
aro fully tho equals. Intellectually of white
children. I havo never seen whlto babies
as Intelligent ns some of thoso negro In
fants at the samo ago. Hut when past 12
their minds seem full grown and Is Is not
easy to teach them except In cases hero and
there. All these observations, however, ap
ply to chlldron of negroes whose parents or
grandparents were brought from Africa
when full grown.
There nro many West Indian negroes who
do not speak English nnd there aro large
societies named according to the part of
Africa from which tho members or their
paronta came. A Nangobar. for Instance,
would not think of Joining a Congo society.
So they all stand much nearer to Africa
than do our negroes, which makes the ob
servation of their chnrnctorlstlcs very In
teresting. Unfortunately, they do not seem
to retain to any mnrked degreo this fac
ulty for rapid caulculntlon when thev
reach manhood. And oven If thev did they
would be so bnckward In other respects
that their value as clerks would bo slight."

(From a Staff Correspondent.)
DES MOINES, Sept. 2&. (Special.) The
people of Des Moines have taken a new
tack In regard to the numerous railroad
projects, which havo been exploited of late.
Tho matter was brought to'y head when
tho projectors of the Dos Moines & North
ern Iowa railroad asked for a" franchise
through one of the city parks nnd for right
of way through a well settled residence
section of the cast side. Llttlo had been
heard of the railroad project for a long
time and It was surprised that the sudden
revival of tho project was not In good faith.
A mass meeting of tile residents of tho
east side was held and committees were
appointed to fight tho proposition to per
mit the road to go through the city park.
This was followed by the appointment of
a committee to mako a thorough Investiga
tion of the business of the company and
to report on whether It Is n legitimate en
terprise. Tho impression prevails that several of
the projects aro more for the purpose of
Interfering with legitimate enterprises than
for tho actual construction of railroads, and
tho pooplp of Dps Moines purpose that there
shall be no moro concessions to anybody
unless they can show thnt they mean busi
ness. ntliinnl (irnln .tlrn'n Convention.
Preparations are about completed for the
national convention of tho grain men In
Dos Moines this week. The convention
will bo held Wednesday nnd Tlmrsdny, In

A feature of tho convention will bo tho

St. Louis. Seed and grain Inspectors of tho
country nro to be present. Tho eastern
delegates and visitors will be. taken to
Sioux City on special train after the con

Sniirrine Court In Meet.
The Iowa supreme court Is to meet In
regular session Tuesday. Several of tho
Judges hao boen at the state cnpltol the
last few days going over the records and
working on decisions. It Is expected tho
term will last nearly a month, ns the Oc
tober terms aro usually moro Important
than any others nnd there nro large mini'
born of cases noted for submission.
The two cases on the criminal docket
mott Interesting to the pubtir, the Kuhn
case from Keokuk county, nnd tho Hossnck
caso from Warren county, will not be

all their briefs. These aro both murder

"One of the most curious of Kentucky
stories, nnd one that never reached tho
ears of the newspapers, " gosslppcd n
Louisville visitor to n Ilrooklyn Eriplc mnn,
"occurred some years ago In our city. A
promising young man had come to the
city, had done well, wna of a respr etnblo
country family nnd had won the love of
one of the finest young women In thi city.
"An only child nnd motherless, she lived
with her father In one of the inmhllng
mansions In the outskirts of tho city. As
Is tho custom In many southern places, tho
servants lived In a small building In the
rear of the large plot of land surrounding
the house. Late ono afternoon tho father
told his daughter that she had better ar
range to spend the night with one of her
friends, ns he expectid to leave the city
on n business trip and would bo gone over
nlgi.f.
"She told him that she would not bo
afraid to stay In the houso alone. She ex
pected to go out to tho theater that even
ing with her fiance When they returned
she would ask him to see that all the win
dows were securely fastened and she would
feci perfectly secure after ho had gone.
"Her father somewhat reluctantly agreed
to this, and started on his Journey. The
girl nnd her finnco went out together, ns
they bnd arranged to do. It seemed a pe
culiarly happy cvenlni; to the young
woman. They returned to tho houso In duo
time. At her request her fiance examined
all the windows nnd doors to see that they
were fastened. She bndo him goodnight
nnd went up to her room, nsklng him to ex
tinguish tho front hall light and cloco the
front door as ho loft. Sho saw the light
go out and heard the front door slam.
"Thinking nil was safo she prepared to
retire. Just beforo getting Into bed nnd
while standing In front of her mirror,
combing her hair at a dresser Just opposite
tho door to the room und over which was
a transom, she saw reflected from the
transom tho faco of a mnn. A closer look
showed thnt It was the mnn she had Just
left nt the door.
"Bolng of a cool temperament and not
possessed of 'nerves,' she made no sign of
her observation, but calmly turned out
the gas and retired. She lay awake, wait
ing to see what would happen. In about
half an hour she was horrified to see the
figure of "this name Individual climbing
through the transom. Ho got Inlo the
room, walked to her dresser, took tho Jewels
from It, Including gifts ho himself hnd
made to her; ransacked tho little treasure
boxes she had and then stealthily returned
through tho transom. With oyea hnlf closed
the young woman watched the whole per
formance silently.
"Her father roturned home next morning
and heard tho story with extromo Indigna
tion. She begged blm not to creato any
scandal about It and aa tho young woman
was nearly riazed with distress he ro-
pccted her wishes. It was finally ngreed
that she should write to the young man,
telling him thnt sho hnd seen It all, asking
him to return her Jewelry nnd requesting
him nover to Ijt her see his faro again.
"Tho father took this noto to the young
mnn, who promptly delivered tho valuables
bo had stolen. Tho young woman's friends
wore told that tho engagement woo off
and It was not until very recently, sovcral
ytars after tho Incident, that the reason
was known to nnyono besides tho throo
persons dliectly concerned In this tragic
occurrence of this young woman's llfo,"

Several years ago, says ti writer In tho
Philadelphia Ledger, I was unwittingly the
Instrument of sending an Intelligent
Fronchmnn to the houso of correction on
a three months' sentence. It happened in
thla way:
With several newspaper men I was sitting
In tho Central police station when there
entered n rather genteelly dressed man,
who did not seem to understand a word of
English. He addressed 'he magistrate In
French nnd that official Immediately asked'
"Anyone hero who speaks French?" One
of the "boys" said, Jokingly, "Tho Tattler
does." "Do you?" asked the Judgo. I re
plied that I understood a little of tho lan
guage. "Well," he said, "seo what the
gontlcmnn wants." I turned to him nnd
bald: "Quo vouler vous?" In reply he rat
tled off a lot of words, but all I could catch
won "maleon do correction."
I told his honor that the man wanted lo
go to the houso of correction, and nt onca.
tho magistrate remarking: "I guess I can
accommodate him," wrote out a self-commitment
for throe months nnd handed It to
tho man, who then departed. It wns then
the winter season nnd nothing more was
thought of tho matter, as It was not un
usual for persons to hnve themselves com
mitted to the Institution
I learned afterward that tho man took his
commitment to tho correction and was Im
mediately ottlred In ono of the striped sulti
nnd placed In a cell. He offered no pari'
ular opposition, hut thought that the pio
cfdure was ono of tho regulations. His
friends missed him. however, and a general
alarm was sent out thnt night to all the
police stations. The next morning ho wus
served with hreakfast along with tho other
Inmates and nceined to enjoy tho exprrl
enee. The magistrate at tho Central wns
asked whether he know anything about the
case and he recalled having sent to the
correction the previous day n man who
answered tha description. Ills friend
started post haste for the Institution and
found their missing gucn sweeping one of
tho corridors. Explanations followed and
the man was soon released
It seems he came there to study the va
rious penal Institutions, and what he wanted
when he called on the magistrate was a
permit to vUlt the correction, A one of

Tho vagaries of the moon have been so

It seems a shnmo to mako that poor, over
