falrmount Park Qprnlnsr.
The announcement of a concert by Co
valt's Manawa band at Falrmount park
attracted an Immense crowd to that popu
lar resort yesterday afternoon. The aft
ernoon was an Ideal one and the beautiful
park was In its best garb. The glens and
hillsides In the vicinity of the bandstand
swarmed with people who evidently appre
ciated the excellent entertainment provided
for them by the park commissioners.
The concert all through was a most en
joyable one and the playing of the march
"King Bee." composed by Arthur Smith of
this city and dedicated by him to Covalt's
band, was enthusiastically received und
the band was forced In response to the
demand of the large audience to repeat It.
Mr. Covalt gave a cornet solo, which, us
usual, called forth an encore.
The motor company had evidently not
anticipated the big crowd It was called
upon to handle and the service on the
Falrmount park line was entirely Inade
quate. Hundreds of persons after waiting
at the street corner In a vain effort to
secure a seat on the cars were obliged to
walk to the park. Others went home.
Tlie beautiful afternoon also attracted
quite a few visitors to Lake Manawa and
a number of row boats were to be seen on
the lake. Quite a few anglers availed
themselves of the car service to the lake
yesterday and spent the day fishing. Sev
eral good catches of bass were reported.
At the Rowing association clubhouse there
was a good attendance and a number of
yacht owners were busy getting their
boats In shape Severe.1 autoboata were
out on the lake.
The grounds at I.ako Manawa are In
splendid condition and rarely has the place
looked prettier or more Inviting that it did
yesterday.
Fire I .on Its I.Ike Incendiary.
The cottage at 19 South Seventeenth
street was badly damaged by Are at 3
o'clock Sundav morning. The blaze was
fortunately discovered at its early stage by
Oscar Henderson, a motor. . xn who was
returning home after taking in the "night
owl" car.
The cottage was formerly the home of
the late William Hasklns, who was drowned
at J.ake Manawa, and It formed the prin
cipal part of his estate, over which there Is
now a controversy by members of the
family claiming to lie the heirs. Until a
week or so ago the house was occupied by
James L. Hasklns, a brother of William
Hasklns, but he vacated It on order from
Judge Wheeler of the district court, and
Alderman Thomas Maloney, administrator
of the Hasklns estate, had sold It to Joseph
Molcysehaska, who was preparing to move
Into It with his family.
Mr. Moleyschaska had remodeled the
house and had Just Insured It, so that his
loss will be fully covered. Chief Nicholson
gave It as his oplr.lon yesterday that the
fire was of Incendiary origin and the au
thorities will Investigate.
MINOR MENTION.
At the opening session Monday afternoon,
June .12, County Superintendent McManus
will address the teachers on "The View

PUSHING WORK ON CAPITOL
Every Effort Being Made to Hare it Com
pleted by First of January.
STONE FOR HISTORICAL UUILDINGON HAND
Rlltht of Coo nly Treasurer to Main
tain Tax Collector at riaee Other
Than County Seat Being
Tested.
(From a Stan correspondent.)
DES MOINES, May 21.-iSpecial.) The
Capitol commission is making a big effort
to get the work of the Improvements at
the state house completed well within the
time allowed by the act of the legislature.
The commission has till January 1 next,
but at the rule the work Is progressing there
Is Bomi) little apprehension and an effort
is being Hindu to crowd the work forward.
The members of the commission and Artist
Uarnsey of New York were at the capltol
most of lust week attending to details.
An endks array of small things were
cleared away, Including the adoption of the
Inscriptions which will adorn the walls
with the decorations. One of these was
commenced yesterday. Beginning at the
right of the entrance to the house cham
ber on the second floor and going around
the rotunda Is the last sentence of Lin
coln's Gettysburg speech: "This nation
under God shall have a new birth of free
dom, and government of the people, for
the people, und by the people, shall not
perish from the earth."
It bus been decided to treat the limestone
columns on the tlrst floor with sandstone
to clean them, but nothing will be done
with tliem beyond that. The treatment of
the walls with the decorations is designed
to empliusize the mussive and substantial
character of the building. It will yet be
a couple of weeks before the' decorators
can commence work in the house cham
ber for the reason that the work of put
ting on the scagllola has been delayed in
an effort to get exactly the right tint.
Stone for Historical Building-.
Stone Is again on hand for Uie Histori
cal building und the work of carrying up
the walls will progress rapidly for the
next few weeks. The contractors claimed
that stone could not be had because of a
strike at the quarries, but the executive
council Informed the contractors that stone
must be had and the work could not be
delayed. Then It was but a short time
before more stone was on hand.
Talk Worries Governor.
Talk of the governor being a candidate
for re-election for a third term is causing
some worry for the governor as well as for
his friends. The talk this week has grown
In extent and it is feared it is being used
to his detriment. The governor's friends
claim that In no case will he accept an
other term and break the precedent of two
terms, and they claim that the talk of his
running for a third term is being done by
his political enemies.
Teat of Deputy Tax Collector.
The answer of the county attorney of
Black Hawk county has been Hied in the
deputy tax collection case of that county.
The county treasurer maintained a clerk
and office at Cedar Falls for the benefit of
the people of that place, as It would be
more convenient to pay there than to como
to the county seat. Frank T. Wilson asked
for an injunction restraining the county
treasurer from this action, claiming that it
Is illegal. County Treasurer Illingworth, In
his answer, claims he had acted on the in
structlons of the Board of Supervisors and
that his action was governed1 only by a
desire to accommodate the public. The
case will go to trial as a plain question of
law and will be watched closely by every
county treasurer in the state, as a decision
of the court will have a far-reaching effect.
There are many counties of the state which
have more thun one large city where it
would be a convenience to those in the
, city not the county seat to have a tax col
lector there.

The Hampton Chronicle has made the
suggestion that Judge W. D. Evans of that
city, now on the district bench, be a can

PAPILLION Residents of Forest City
precinct visiting papilllon state that tlie
recent rampage of the Platte river was
the worst since 1KS1. With the overflow
of the Platte, together with the Elkhorn,
the bottoms were . one Immense body of
water, making the rivers as one. Cuttle
were drowned and several narrow escapes
of human life are reported. Over (Son feet
of the old dyke on the, east bank of the
Platte went out early and then the water
covered everything to the foothills. Many
carp, buffalo and other fish were speared
In the wheat fields.

Platte river bridge were carried out last
Sunday night the residents of Pohocco
precinct In Saunders county have been

they can only reach the city by rail from
Cedar Bluffs or Valley and the rural car
riers are consequently unable to get over.
Yesterday a number of farmers were over
here consulting with Postmaster Hwanson
In regard to the situation. He has sub
mitted the matter to the authorities at
Washington and probably their mail will
be temporarily delivered to them from
some other point. It will be two or three
weeks before permanent repairs can bo
made on the bridge.

LIVES WITH BULLET IN BRAIN
Baltimore Man Is Recovering in
Spite of Generally Accepted
Theories.
BALTIMORE, May 21.-On May 3 George
Horst, 32 years of age, an employe In a
brewery here, attempted to commit suicide
by Bhooting himself twice In the head. The
bullets have not been removed, but to the
amazement of physicians who have Inter
csted themselves In this case, he Is not
only still living, but according to present
indications will soon be well enough to
be out of the house.
Of the bullets with which Horst at
tempted to end his life one entered above
tho right ear and the other below the
right temple. Ordinarily either bullet
would havo been sufficient to jiuve caused
death, but In Hurst's case they apparently
resulted In nothing ranro serious than par
alysis of the left and part of the right
side, which paralysis Is now disappearing.
Horst's mind began to clear rapidly after
tha second day and five days after the
shooting he smoked a cigar. His memory
Is perfectly good and he understands every
thing going on about him.

NEGOTIATING NEW TREATY
Ambassador Meyer Confronted with Eerious
Difficulties.
RESULT IMPORTANT 70 AMERICAN TRADE
Contravaillna; Duty on Russian Sugar
an Obstacle .Difficult to Over
come, bnt Doth Govern
ments Hopeful.
ST. PETERSBURG, iray n -The desli
abillty of securing the revocairon of the
ii-.ipoJltlcn by RusHla of the maximum duty
on' American products levied In retaliation
for the levying of a countervailing duty by
the Vnlted States on Russian sugars, which
Ambassador Meyer Is trying to adjust, Is
aHsumlng additional Importance owing to
the fact that tho new Russo-German tariff,
which goes Into effect at the end of the
year, will form the basis for a most favored
nation clause. That treaty reduces the
duty on machinery and other articles In
which American exporters to Russia are es
pecially interested, und the new general or
maximum tariff, with correpondlng In
creases, goes Into effect simultaneously.
Consequently unless the HusHO-Amerlcan
tariff dispute Is adjusted American Imports
are destined to bear still further burdens.
If the dispute Is adjusted the United States
will get the benefit not only of the reduc
tions swarded to Germany, but also under
tha rai commercial treaty about to be ne
gotiated with France. Tha Russian govern
ment seems to be sincerely anxious to
again place the United States on the most
favored nation basis, but naturally would
like to see the old status quo restored.
However, Rrr-i realises the difficulty In
th mutter i tho countervailing duty on
sugar, which without further legislation
was rendered res adjudicata Dy ins decision
f tha suDrema court of tha United States,
and, therefore, is willing to walva tht
question of sugar, but Insists upon the re
moval of maximum duties upon by-products
of petroleum, Imposed by the secrctsry of
the treasury, which affects English vaseline
and other products manufactured from
Russian naphtha. The Russian govern
ment also demands a guarantee similar to
the one In the new Russo-German treaty
against any possible abuse of the favored
nation clause by specifically binding each
country In the future under no circum
stances or pretext to levy duties In excess
of those levied on similar products of a
third power.
Ambassador Meyer has laid the matter
before the State department and Is awaiting
Instructions.

An Attack of Croap Varded Off.
"Our little girl, two and ons-half years
old, woke up coughing with tha croap on
evening recently. We happened to have
soma of Chamberlain's Cougb Remedy on
hand and gave her two doses of It. She
went back to sleep and woke up next morn
ing without a trace of cold. I". Is certainly
a great medicine," says A. J. Luglnblll,
editor of Star, Villa Rica, Ga. An attack:
of croup can always be warded oft by giv
ing this remedy as soon as the croupjr
cough appears. It has been In use for
many years and has never been known to
fall. It contains no opium or other harm
ful drug and may be given to tha smallest
child with perfect confidence.
