MONKEY'S VEGEANCE FIERCE
Cartoas Story . of Simla Passloa
Cornea from aa AfIcaa
Freight Steamer.
A curious story of love and revenge Is
told by the man who has charge of Bar
turn ft Bailey's simian collection. The
fact that it Is the love and revenge of an
African monkey doesn't abate the human
Interest in the narrative. The man who
tells the story had charge of a shipment
of some 900 monkeys which Were Intended
for the Barnum St Bailey menagerie. The
monkeys were confined In a large room
near ' the furnace (the steamer was a
freighter).
Among them were two unusually Intelli
gent simians who were released during the
voyage and permitted the freedom of the
ship. Unhappily a sudden storm came up
and one of the playful creatures was
washed overboard. The remaining one,
who had not seen his comrade's sudden
taking off, searched' the ship for hours,
and finally betook himself to the rigging,
where he remained three days, refusing
food and avoiding all efforts to capture
him.
No doubt he held the sailors responsible
for the death, of his partner, and it would
appear that be was formulating a scheme
for revenge. Anyway, the third night he
released all the- monkeys in the hold, and
for two days .the simians made life mis
erable for the sailors. They bit and
soratched and tougnt, and it was only after
a number of them had been flung over
board that the balance could be captured
and secured. And In all the forays and
fleroe charges the revengeful monkey was
In the van.
Whatever may be contended concerning!
the reasoning powers of the brute creation
there have been many instances recorded
oi their remembrance of past Injuries. And
this fact would seem to give the story of
monkey vengeance some semblance' of
truth.
When Barnum A Bailey's Greatest Show
on Earth comes to Omaha next Tuesday J
you will Ilnd the monkey cages worthy a
few moments' visit. The little creatures
hold a fascination for the majority of man
kind which la truly remarkable. Boys love
to torment them, but men enjoy studying
their almost human behavior.

I Sohols Visit Iowa City.
IOWA CITT. July 7.-(pecial Tele
gram.) Members of the national conven
tion of Bokola In progress at Cedar Rapids
visited Iowa City this afternoon. The local
lodge banqueted WO delegate. Assistant
National Commander Frank Flllp of Ce
dar Rapifla and others spoke.
After a continuous ..session, lasting from
SO until 12.30 yesterday, during which the
city council heard the complaints and rec
ommendations of the Commercial club, the
closing of the street lighting contract with
the Cltl sens' Gas and Electrlo Lighting
company and President Nash of the
Omaha Light and Power company was
not accomplished but was deferred tor
final action untlr 9 :30 this morning.
The failure to approve the Contract wa
due to the discovery at the last moment
that the new set of copies which had
been drawn by City Solicitor Kimball
omitted the clause fixing the rates for
electric current at 14 cents per kilowatt
for the first three kilowatts and S cents
for additional kilowatts, or the rate that
is now prevailing In Omaha. Neither
President Nash nor Attorney Emmet Tin
ley, counsel for the company, both of
whom were present, was aware of the
omission, and insisted that the clause was
there until a careful perusal of the copy
disclosed Its absence. Mr. Kimball was
not present, but It was Intimated that the
change waa made by the city solicitor for
the purpose of securing for Council Bluff i
the advantage of any reduction that might
be made In the future, which tha adroitly
made chance provided for. All of the
members of the oouncli also appeared to
be In Ignorance of the change. Mr. Kim
ball was out of town all day yesterday
and could not be questioned, but one of
his near friends explained that the change
was purposely made, and that if the con
tract was approved without it being de
tected all right, but If detected It was
expected Mr. Nash "would go up in the
air."
Ttash Accepts Change.
Mr. Nash Insisted that the original pro
vision should be incorporated and that the
provision Mr. Kimball had slipped In
should be Included and be more explicitly
stated. . He directed Attorney Tin ley to
enlarge this section and dictated Its lan
guage. When completed it fixed the max
imum rate to be charged at the figures
stated and that "all reductions msde In
Omsha during the life of this contract
shall prevail In Council Bluffs." and that
"the rates to be charged In Council Bluffs
shall at all times be the same as charged
in Omaha."
In the absence of Mayor Maloney, who
la in Kansas City with the members of the
Water board. Alderman Younkerman pre
sided, and insisted that further considera
tion of the contract should cease until new
and complete coplea could be made..
The objections of the Commercial club's
representatives were not very clear or ex
plicitly made. W. A. Maurer said that the
whole opposition to the lighting contract
was, against the use of the, new flaming
arc lights and that he had not seen any
city where they were used. Electrical ex
perts were present, ready to show that the
new lamps were the latest development of
electrical science and were Just being put
forward by the General Electric company
with positive guarantees of efficiency and
were as distinct an advance over present
methods of street lighting aa the first arc
lights were over the old street gas lamps.
The ' experts, however, were not called
upon. Mr. Maurer said the only UgKt he
wanted on the streets were the single in
candescents on gooseneck posts, which the
cltisens should provide at a cost of About
$20,000, and the city furnish the current at
a cost aggregating several . times more
than the giant arcs will cost the tax
payers. . -

nue, Mrs. R. S. Golden gave birth to twins
late Wednesday afternoon, and for want
of necessary care both children died. Mrs.
Golden's own life was only saved when her
creams were heard by neighbors, who
hurriedly secured medical assistance.
Owing to the Intense heat that prevailed
at the time the house was closed and blinds
drawn, and when Mrs. Golden waa un
expectedly taken sick ' she was unable to
make her calls heard. She fainted after
the first child was born, but when she re
covered had strength enough to . scream
frantically for help. When the neighbors
arrived one child waa dead and the other
perished soon after.

arrived both children were dead.- Mrs.
Golden's condition was precarious for sev
