Texan Misses a $1,200 Pocket Book Soon After Leaving the Transfer. A The other day Tue Ber received a brief cemmunication from a man named Waterhouse stating that he had his pocket picked at the transfer. The fol- lowing end faller particulars of his loes are given by The Leader man, who gained them at Malvern, where the un- fortunate fellow etopped over: A man and two small children got off the *‘cannon-ball” at this place last ¥ri- day evening, and put up at Ben. Gar- man's boarding house. He gave hi name as C. N. Waterhouse, and evinced considerable mental anxiety. He stated that he was en route to Austin, Tex.; that he bought ¢hrough tickets at Omahw aud had 80 in woney left, which he put in his pocket book, together with two drafts, one for $438 and the other for §500, and two notes, the wholo amount- ing to about $1,200. After the train left Council Bluils he discovered that his pocket book with it contents was miss- ing. He sensibly coneluded that he had been robbed either at Omahs or the Union Pacific transfer on this side. Upon stooping at this pluce he made known his trouble to A. L. Young, who tele- graphed the banks {o stop payment of the drafls. Mr. Young then kindly ad- vanced the gentleman suflicient expense money to carry hiw throush, holding as security his trunk check and freight bill, and Waterhouse went on his way rejoic- ing at the happy termination of what had appeared to him a few hours before # bankrupting calamity. Jeremiah Folm hias become so inter- ested in the Home of the Jriendless that : he has gencrously donated seven cords of wood for its use, and also given 26 cords at a low price, 80 that the Home will sell this for its benefit. Those who want any wood will find this an excellent chance get it, and, in accomodating themselves by getting good wood at a reasonable price, will benefit the Home, Mr. T. R. Brooks will take orders for the wood, and those not seeing him can drop him a postal card. Mr, Folsem's action is deemed & very generous one, and the Home will doubtless have no difticulty in #3lling the 25 cords, eight cords being sold yesterday at $5.50, B ‘What Are You Going to do About It? o the Editor of Tur Brx, As there is a great deal of agitation in the minds of our citizens at the present time regarding the question of court house bonds and the coming city elec- tions, would it not be well for some of our prominent men to answer the fol- lowing uestiens: lst, s it true thero is at this moment a hundred dollars in money belonging to the city in the hands of a certain alder- man that should be i the city treasury, without baing inquired into by the or- ganization called the bosrd of trade, sup- posed to be composed of nearly all our leading business men, who are carnestly favoring the issuing of the aaid bonds? 24, 1s there not enough of manhood in Council Bluffs that at least will force a public carrier to keep his oflice open, es- pecially duriog this ¢)ld weather, for the accommodation of our ladies and children in return for the foriy-two thousand dollar “‘Union Avenue” given away, moderately speaking! 8d. Te there any head to our police force, and if 8o why does he permit hie subordinates to hang around gambling dens and places of like character! 3d. Do our leading citizens know that some prominent men are keoping strang- ers from coming to this city on the plea that life. property and character are in danger even in broad day light? 1f these questions cannot be answered satisfactor- ily we certainly should not ask cur neigh bors outside to assist in even such neces- sary improvements as a new court house and jail, Being in favor ourselves of the build- ing of the new court house and jail, we would emphatically, in the language of the late ““Bosa” Tweed, ask, in the event of defeat at the polls, ‘*what are you go- ing to do about it!” Our advice would bo to let those opposed to the isswing of county bonds understand that our board of supervisors, who thus far have con- ducted our aflairs in a manner to place themselves before the peoplo above re- proach, are not the same kind of men who have for a year or more manipulated our city government, Thin matter in- te'ligently set befoxo the voters of this city, if possible by the county supervis- ors, at & public meoting, to be called at the court house or elsewhere, for such purpose, would give more weight in the right direction than a trunk full of circu- lars issued by the board of trade, or ar- ticles sent out through the pross.

A Narrow Escape from Instant Dearh. Yesterday morning a laborer named Boyington, who was at work shoveling at a bluff, was suddenly caught under a big slide of dirt, some thirty or more wagon loads, and buried beneath the dirt, his head alone being uncovered. He was gotten out as soon as possible and taken to his home, No. 1102 Eighth ave- nue. There seemed to be no bone proken, the most serious injury being about the thigh, and the squeeze that the heavy weight of dirt gave him. The land.slide struck a wagon_ also, breaking the spindle off one v, heel, sharing *some- what the force and weight of thy falling dirt, It was a narrow escape from an instant death. The injuries are not thought to be such as will probably re- sult fatally. s O Horstord’s Acid Phosphate, Well Pleased. Dr. C.

The Water Works to be Tested To- Day. There is much interest felt in the test of the water works, and many were out yesterday expecting to see the streams put on, but the weather was unpropi- tious at least so far as wind was concern- od, and it was thought bost by Mayor Bowman that it go over until to-day at 10 o'clock, when they willbe made sub- iect to the same conditions of favorable weather and no wind, e e— Beats the World, This is what H.

Among all my acquaintance none seom- od happier than Eugene F—. 1 named him Fortune's Favorite, He had a beau tiful and highly accomplished wile; his children were the prottiest and best man- nercd 1 have ever met. All the women considered Mrs, F-—— as near perfection | as mortals can achieve; all the men voted Euogene F-—— as clever & man as one could desire to claim fellowship with. He | was rich in associations, in the integrity | of & name that commanded the respect of | four generations, How few aspiring Americans can say as much. _He posses. | sod the advantages a liberal education gives; his place was assured as well as it 1 possible to assure anything in a country whero the wheel of fortune obliterates the accumulations and reputations of generations and lifts men and women out of obscurity in w day. That is to say, the company that employed him was the oldest, most reliable and the richest or- 5{nniuninn of ita kind in the country. finally, in addition to a salary of 83000 a year. Eugeno had good reason to count upon an inheritance in the near future that would render him independent. The notoworthy trait fellowship with Eugene F-—— revealed was his equable spirits, born, as he asserted, of content- ment. He was satisfied with his placo, his belongings and enjoyments. No man had more to make hin happy, he said. No man enjoyed life more philosophicil- ly, or fretted himself less over the big or little things beyond his control. 1t was his equipoise, and, doubtloss, his ignor- ance of the trials and bitter experiences of less favored people that rondered Eugeno F—— indifferent when the mis- fortunes and temptations of the poor were discussed. Generous to a fault, he was unable to comprehend the dire necessities that drive the unfortunates to despera- tion and death. He was severe—could with difliculty find languagostrong enough to express his contempt of the average suicide. A poor man who sought employment and failed to find it, weary with fruitless effort, despairing under tho world’s ro- plunged recklessly into the un- known The means employed empha- sized tho poverty of the wretched creature. The newspapers made much of it. 1t was the item of the day, and proved a base for columns. 1 dropped in on Eugeno one day when his hour's work was done, He had a newspaper in his hand., He threw it down impatiently, angrily, as he handed me a ciygar, and pushed me into & seat, saying: *I am disgusted with you newspaper men. Why do you give so much prominence and space to that horrible suicide! By all accounts the fellow did all that was left for him to do. If he had only displayed common sense when he was about it and adopted easier means! If a man must kill himself why does he disfigure him- self or impose unnecessary and horrible agonies such as this poor wretch inflicted upon himsolf?” Aside from the fact that 1 have no patience with the speculation and theory that cuts ground from under every Chris- tian's feet, 1 was tired. Eugene worked an hour every day. I worked on an average 12 at least, and did more in one hour than Eugene did in three. Since it was clear to me that he received at least 10 times more for his mental toil than 1 did 1 could afford to permit him to in- dulge himself in a prolonged dissertion of the *‘survival of the fittest.” 1t pleased him and amused mo. Now,” he said, at the end of a chap- ter, *‘tell me why a man_who chooses to kill himself, let us say with a rat poison, should be regarded as much above a rat.

Why, if such people wero fairly balanced on the fence round heaven they would hsng with their heads downward of course. Human tad poles, all of them!” Eugene had a horror of death; cemete- ries were his special aversion. He was never known to attend a funeral. He could not bring himself to witness the ceremonies in the house or at the grave, He had a prejudice against burial, ““Why can’t every body have vaults, with nice, pleasing colors on the walls—have the interior as we'l as the exterior orna- mented and made 80 attractive that peu- ple going into them would feel us they do when they enter an attractive chamber with a bed in it?” “Do you mean the dead!" “You know well enough I refer to visitors—to the living.” “I an afraid,” I could not help saying, gravely, “you have yet to learn, Eu- gene, that not all the religion, all the learning and all the philosophy in the world can ever make death other than death.” *'But that is no reason why everybody should make death so0 horrible and grisly. They make it ghastly, and in the same breath” tell you 1t is the way to heaven. The way to heaven ought to be beautiful,” ***Have you forgotten ‘Pilgrim's Pro- grese!"" piece of rank plagi ism.

He asserted there was abundance of oil territory undevel oped, and his friends were surprised bayond expression when he announced his resolve to den trate the correct. ness of his conclusions, He undertook the task of developiug, and, like many another who started out on the ‘‘belt” theory, he ended ‘“‘wild-cating.”” In other words, ho assumed extraordinary risks, His efforts were attended with varying success, Ho experienced down right bad Juck, and rare good fortune, too, Ina yoar—loss timo—his old friends scarce'y knew Eugene ¥ He was energetic,confident, positive and decisive; avery fair specimen of thoroughgoing Americaa businass man, His ventures proved profitable in the main, and then, all at once, accident filled his pockets one night while heslept. Ho was the possessoe of half a million. Ho was in the middle of the current, a prominent craft in the stream that allured thou sands, floating a fraction into safe harbor, and strandod a groat majority., 1 soldom met Eugeno now. We were in dilferent channels. Chance brought us face to face one day in front of The Era oftice. “How are you, Ned? Had Come with me. 1 want company. refusal now." “‘Make it to-night, at home, and I'll be on haud.” “I wish I could; but the truth is, I am o seldom at home now—1 don’t know when I've spent a night, or rather an evening at home."” And this was my bookish friend who, a yoar ago,could not be induced to leave hia snug library, or cosy living room, where his wife and children were his chief com- panions Half an hour’s conversation proved to me that my friend—the man 1 had re- spected and loved—was as dead as the Pharaos. In his place 1 found n man who seemed a bundle of nerves Ho had loat the repose of my old friend, and with it his grace, While it was impossi- ble for Eugene F— - to yme either coarse or brusque, his positive manner and tones, his decision, gave him an an- gularity than was less to bo admired than his former ease and urbanity. “Now you havemade your pile, Eu- gene, 1 suppose you will be off to Europe some of theso days. Possibly we may loose you altogether.” He looked at me with undiguised as- tonishment. *“What makes you say that?” 3 ““They say you are worth nearly ¢ mil- ion.” “‘See here—this is confidence. Ned— they say a great deal that isn't true. But this instance they are not far wrong. But why should I quit on a million? Have some more mushroons. This is the only l)lnccl can got a decent steak in town,” “I've soen the time you would have })cen. content with a quarterof a mil- ion,” “Yes; in the long ago. Do you know I was a fool in those days. Naturo never intended a man should be content. He ought to be just as eager to make his 10th —yes, his 100th million for that matter— as his first. For my part—but mind you don’t let your hive know it; T don't care to get them after me—I've no intention of quitting till I've made five millions.” “You have only ‘another step to take and you will establish your claim to all the privileges onjoyed by the aristo- crats,” He laughed. *‘No, I am too sensible for that,” he repliod, “‘although, for that matter, T always held nature had made its divis- ions, There will be hawers of wood and drawers of water as long us grass grows or water runs,” T moant there is dangeg that one day you will look with contempt on aman with less than ten thousand a year.” 13*Don’t blawe me, my boy,” he replicd, in a patronizing manner I immediately vesented, *'if 1've set my peg for five mil- lions."” “I've secn the time you were as well off, enjoyed the world, literature, art,the society of your friends, and above all, the companionship of your wife aud children, and oll on less than 3000 a year, for I happen to know you gave liberally and lent freely.” ““I can only repeat—five million is my figure, And I've only made the first notch on that stick.” “How if yon fail? You never know when the see-saw will bump you on the round,” The next day Eugene F'—— lost §100,- 000. A week later he was not worth $10. There came out of a contest, such as was never witnessed before nor since between oil operators, mere wrecks of men men- tally and morally, physically and financi- ally, chief among whom was Eugene F- The tarantula’s bite had poisoned his life's blood. He was no longer the brisk, neat, scrupulously dressed, quite mannered gentleman. He was unshaven half the time. His eyes were shifting, never ateady, and partly discolored. Unrest and the fever of speculation left their traces — stamped — I should say branded him as an unsuccessful man. I once heard a man (and he belonged to my own guild, more's the pity), say that ull labor was degrading. Hu cited our great manufacturing centers—point- dinner! No is thousands of years old! “Why ao you introduce discords in musicl” “‘Nonsence! 1'll name you & thousand pieces—famous compositions—without a discord,” Eugene answered. ‘‘The fact is the world doesn’t believe what it pro- fesses,” “Why don’t you advocate cremationf'” I retorted. *If your theory is correct, burn ’em all up; burn the whole world and carry 20 generations in a watch- charm,"” A friend called upon Eugene K ted his counsel and services in @ business matter. It was a responsible trust. The friend was going abroad to remain for years, perhaps permanently. He owned, jointly with his sister, a piece of property near the great oil belt. It might be worthless, and it might prove very valuable. What the friend required was honest dealing. ¥or himself he did not care, He had great wealth, but his invalid sister was entitled to all tha could be realized from her half of the land It was for Eugene F—- to dis- cover the value of the land, and to exer- ciso his judgment in disposing of it. He undertook the task with ill-concealed repugnance. He disliked traveling; had a horror of unaired beds and pot-luck, He went to the oil regions in a bad humor, When he returned a great change was no- ticed in his manner. A month had worked wondere, ¢ Just think of it," he eaid to me, when ho dropped in’ to shake hands in his cheery, hearty way; *I thought those GO0 acres were worth about £5 an acro.

He was bobbing up beside the dashing operators inside of & month. A month later there was a battle royal lnsting threo days, in which tho bulls and bears were 8o thoroughly blended that it was with extreme difficulty the best informed observers could determine the relative positions of the horned and clawed competitors Immonse sums wero made and lost.
