The board of trustees of the institution for the deaf and dumb last evening con- cluded their two day’s session. The event of the meeting has been the change in the management. Heretofore the super- intendency has been one of ftinancial as well as ed For s0we time ing the advisability of separating these two departments, as it has always been diflicult to secure a superintendent in whom could be found s combination of excellent business ubilities and superior teaching qualifications. The duties were too numerous and varied, and one de- partment or the other was liable to be slighted. Superintendent Wychoff has served for a year very wucceptably. The teachers were umited in his Suppo| and the business mat- ters moved along _smoothly. He was lected at the lust June meet- ing for another year, and his work for the year past was pronounced as success- ful and satisfactory. The board realized, ever, that it was difficult for him to d to all the details of the business of the institution, as they took his time and attention from the educational department. -‘T'he ides of separating the two departments grew, and after consul- tation = with Governor Larrabee and others, the bourd decided to make the change. They have elected as superin- tendent of the institution Hon. H. W. Rothert, of Keokuk, whose duties will be to look after all the financial and busi- ness matters, buildings, ete. His salary will be $1,500 u year. Prof. Wyc- hofl has been elected us principal of the schools at a salary of $1,800, an 1ncrease of $300 over his previous salary. He will now be retieved of all responsibility and care as to everything except the educa- tion of the pupils. The corps of teachers is under his direct and sole control, and he is the head and front of the school roper. Thus relieved of financial and usiness duties, he will be able to devote his entire time to bringing the scholar- ship of the institution to the hizhest rank possible. He is an admirable man for such work, thoroughly experienced, and a leader in whom all " the teachers have the utmost confidence. Senator Rothert 1s well known through- out the state. He has been 1n positions of trust and honor for a score of years. He was register of the land office at Cheyenne under President Arthur, and was supplanted by a democrat when the change came in the national control of patronage. He was strongly urged for the position of saperintendent lust year, but the board preferred to have an ex- perienced teacher. During yacation the buildings at the in- stitution have been greatly improved, new floors laid, paper and painting done, and all put in readiness for the coming year of school. The water supply is now all that could be desired. The artesian well forces water to the fourth story, thus doing away with the pump and res- ervoir system of supply. Miss Sarah E. Wright, who has served as matron under five diflerent suverip- tendents, has returned from her vacation, to resume her duties in that position. e The Official Finding. STATE OF Iowa, POTTAWATTAMIE COUNTY, An inquisition holden at the court room in the City of Council Bluffs in Pottawattamie county, lowa, commencing on the 6th day of August, 1887, before llenr{ Faul, coroner of said county, upon the bodies of C. E. Ferson, C. W. Cartwrignt and Jos?h Newnian, de- sed, and after a full and thorough inves- tigation by the coroner’s jury, into the dis- aster that caused the death ‘of the said C. E. Ferson, C. W. Cartwright and Joseph Newman, ‘The jurors \])!ton their oath say and . Ferson, C. W. Cart- find that C. wright and Joseph Newman came to their death on the night of August 4, 4857, by being drowned In the waters of Lake Maonawa, in _Pottawattamie county, Iowa; that shortly before being drowned the satd deceased persons and twenty or more others boarded the so-called steamer Manawa at what is knowu on the beach landing of sald boat as passengers to be carried by sald steamer to the hotel landing, a distance of nearly a mile; that shortly after the steamer left her beach dock, and about 10 o’clock and 10 minutes of said night, and when about 200 yards from shore and dock, the steamer suddenly sank in about fourteen feet of water with about twenty-nve passengers on board, Including the deceased, who alone were drowned, according tothe best informa- tion obtainable by the jury. ‘The jury further finds as the causes leading to the sinking of the boat that at to her fialn lown she was and stillis wholly unfitted and unsuited for the carrying and transporting of passengers, ‘That her capacity was very limited and her construction bad in almost eyery essential to a good and safe boat. That she sank under the pressure of a strong wind, a rough water and an over-load, considering her capacity, defects and unseaworthiness, ‘The jury further suggest and recommend that hereafter the steamer Manawa and all such be restrained and prohibited from in any manner carrying vpassengers for any purpose of hire or profit on the waters of said lake, and that Immediate steps be taken for the appointment of a competent board ot inspectors of all boats—whether propelled in whole or in part by steam upon sald lake for the carrying and transporting of passen- ers for prolit or hire; and that it shall be the uty of said board, after examing any boat or vessel, and on finding the same unnit and unsafe for the purpose of carrying passen- gers, to condemn and prohibit the operation of such boat or vessel on said lake.

Darville and McLaren, the two inform- ers, who have been so long in Omaha, behind the bars, were brought over to this side yesterday. It will be remem- bered that they were held in Omaha by the saloon men on & charge of bribery, but really to prevent their coming to this side, and giving their testimony in the cases then pending. The prohibivionists, not being able to get them over here, got other witnesses, so as to proceed with the cases. Still they were rather anxious to have them here, too. On being released in Omaha they were arrested as being fugitives from justice from lowa, there having been an information filed before Justice Barnett, of this city, charging them with carrying concealed weapons. Attorney Sims filed the charge. In the meantime the saloon men wanted to have control of these two in- formers, and so filed an information in ’Stlulro Briggs' court, charging them with perlurr n the Ritter case. On ac- count of this complication of affairs, the Prohlbmonlnu went about it very auletly 0 get these men over this side of the river, and succeeded iuwrdly in getting them into court, without attracting any attention. Justice Barnett read the charge and they hurriedly pleaded guilty. They were fined one dollar each and costs, and Attorney Sims went security for them. They then slipped out as quietly as the slipped in and disappeared. Their whereabouts are not - known, but the prohibitionists say they will be on hand when needed in fHE OMAHA DAILY BEE: WEDNESDAY. AUGUST 10. 1887, court. In the meantime the saloon men have changed their minds about want- ing the two men. Itis understood that the committee having this part of the work in hand in behalf of the saloon men, are disgusted because there are so many saloon men who will not put u the necessary money for expenses and will not help out in other ways. The two men will doubtless keep shady however, and not parade in public until they have a chance to examine the ground for themselves. et~ W Wanted —Immediately, a tirst-class bar- ber. Must be a sober man. John Shicketanz, 104 Main street, Council Bluffs, —_——— Latd at Reat, The funeral of Charles Ferson was held yesterday forenoon, and was a pe- culiarly sad one. All the circumstances surrounding the death of this estimable young man, and the sudden shadowing of the home, so happy, called forth the tenderest sympathy throughout the com- munity, The last sad rites called to- gether a large number of friends and citizens. ‘The house was filled Lo its ut- most, and outside were many others, who sought by their presence to pay their tribute to the memory of the one whom all mourned, and to express their sympathy for those wupon whom the blow fell directly and with full force. Rev. Dr. Phelp: of the Presbyterian church, offered a very ten- der pri Rev. Dr. McCreary, of the Methodist church, of which deceased was ar conducted the services. The Mer! rs rendered some ver touching sel “‘Beyond the Smil- mg and the Weeping,'! “‘Peace, be Still,’”” *“Tha Half has N Been Told.” The floral tributes were numerous, and arranged with rare taste.

Eastern Dakota is old now and no new thing can come out of it to startle the world, and since the delicious Buffalo berry acknowl- edged to a Pierre lady, a year ago, that it was discovered, men of science have crossed the “Big Muddy’ into the wilds beyond, and their discoveries are numer- ous and even more wonderful than be- fore. A Dakota editor and his wife while out snaking recently discovered several new species of snakes, the most inter- esting of which was the “fish snake.” Two years ago the pop-weed first made "~ its appearance along the borders of civilization from the interior of the Siouy reservation; and cattlemen along the Missouri bottoms have had in- teresting times ever since. Itis quite late in the fall when the pop-weed ball begins to roll like tumble weeds over the praries. ‘The pop weed is a rank grow- ing weed known only to this section; it hus a stalk like the cabbage plant, with a round top the size of a Hubbard h and about the same color. There \ousands of acres of the pop-weed in the reservation and they are very numerous and grow to & pros igluun 8ize in the vicinity of “‘alkali beds.” When the “‘terrific northwest winds'’ blow late in the fall the pop-balls become de- tached from the stalks and roll for miles over the prairies; until they reach un- even country or other obstructions where they accumulate and pile up hke high banks of snow. Behind these banks weeds the wild buffalo found shelter in mid-winter from the fierce bli If the pop-weed ball comes forcibly in contact with any hard object while roll- ing it explodes with a tremendous re- port, a clond of tine powder bpasses on through the air, and thousands of shar fine needles aro thrown out in every di- rection. These necdles are the seeds of the pop-weed, and®are what produce the mischief with stock, for they are very penetrating. A ‘“‘eritter” will run from a rolling pop-weed like a jack- rabbit from a coyote. The Indians now located at Brule agency tell strange and interesting stories about the weed. It is said that the young braves of the tribe for discipline and to prepare themselves for great torture, would select chiefs and ar- ray themselves in battle line and fight with these pop-balls like schoolboys in a snowball coutest. “The battle of the pop-weed'’ was held once a year, and wus witnessed by the whole tribe with great pomp and ‘parade. This day was to the young braves what the Fourth of July is to the American youth. There were thesmoke and noise of battle to perfection, and the fine, sharp needles cansed intense pain. The greatest ex- hibitions of bravery were rewarded by promotion in the tribe, and presentations of handsome bead work were made by the young braves’ best girls. But this famous weed, that once sheltered the wild buffalo of the plains from the winter storms and was used in the sham battles of the young Sioux braves, has since become very obnoxious to the Missouri river cattlemen, and they are agitating the question of the best method of obtaining protection from it. In the *'Village of ’op-Weed"’ (so called by the Indians be- cause the weeds cover the ground for miles at this point and grow very large) are the arrow-grounds. Just before starting on the annual hunt they went in Iarge numbers to the pop-weed village for arrows. The needles from the largest pop-weeds are very long, and when baked in hot ashes become very hard and strong, and make good arrows. When they found a large pop-ball they would shoot into it with arrows and cause it to explode and throw out its needles, which they gathered and prepared for use. The Indians went arrowing late in the fall, and before the pop-weed ball commenced to roll over thes prairies all the Indian villages were deserted. This was the order of the tribe every fall to get their horses and other stock out of the way of the dangerous pop-weed to prevent them from running away. The pop-week is #s yet unknown to botanists, A ForuMeRr DAKOTIAN, The Late Uonju Hermann, London Globe: He seemed to defy the hllllol!lhle. I remember once,on 'Change in Buenos Ayres (where, by the way, fiu was an extensive and most unlucky oper- ator), at an hour when the building was crowded with men. after a short delay, on being challenged to exhibit some tour de force, he lifted his hat and displayea his own boot on his head—this, be it ob- served, without going near a table or, as far as any one had noticed, seeking any concealment for his bare foot or oppor- tunity to remove his hat. For speclal occasions he spared no time, trouble or expense beforehand that some feat might wear the gpearance of complete spon- taniety. Mention has already been made in some of the newspapers o( his casting the sultan’s watch into the Bosphorous. That I did not witness, but I was in Con- stantinople when he dined with the Brit- ish minister and a number of other gen- tlemen. In the course of the mufe he raised his glass, which had just been filled with champagne, above hls head, and, attracting the attention of fl{ guun( by Cansedthe charapase bo Sk In the plcs 0l ampagne to sink in the glass and vanish. ' On being rep! unuhed‘ the, same thing occarred; the third time the glass disappeared also. Now, the glamor of this seemed purely incidental to the situation, but I' happened to know the forethought and energy which had been expended over it, especially in connection with the difficulties of ascertaining the recise pattern of the champague glasses ikely to be used and of matching them, Specialties like this were planned tor execution at all-the courts where his skill was manifested; and there is no doubt that his personal influence, his adroit- ness, and his extraordinary familiarity with all tongues and patois were invoked more than once by those in authority for other ends, He would never suffer himself to be outdone by any other necromancer; hence his possession of apparatus which he de- spised. His gold-fish bowls were larger than those of other prestidigitateurs (one, before me us I write, now scrves as a sufliciently capacious bath for a family of thirty little Japancse snakes); where they worked with pigeons, he used fowls and geese; and from the hat he would produce not merely tin goblets, card- ard boxes and comrrenmhle balls, but motal tea kettles and lighted lamps. = His singularly long,spare body,admtted of his dress-coat containing two tiers of “load- ing pockets, " and aflorded great facilities for concealment. When at Cairo he was rivalled by a troupe of Arab snake- charmers, and, in spite of his detestation of serpents, he forced himself to imitate their maneuvers with two cobras from which the fangs had been taken, Such was his horror of these reptiles, however, that more than once he was impelled to rush from the stage and tear off his coat, where they were lying, snugly stowe away in the profondes. He designed an ingenious wand for transformation into a living nake. This was o hollow tube, painte blac to resemble his usual magic wand. A snake of suitable length was caused to enter this, and a metal cap was screwed firmly on as soon as its tail was in. The head would now project about an inch at the other end, over which a rather loosely fitting cap was placed, the whole then fuokinx exactly exactly like an ordinary ebony baton. To the screwed end a fine silk cord was attached, ‘mssiux up the sleeve, ncross the chest beneath the shirt front, and down the other arm, where it was tied around the wrist, the length being so adapted that it uditted of the wand beiny held with both hands when the arms were bent, but effected its rapid withdrawal up the sleeve when the opposite arm was ex- tended. (Une of the vanishing bird cages is managed on a similar principle.) The loose cap was to be removed and palmed with (say) the left hand, the snake's head exposed, grasped and drawn forward, the action of extension causing the wand to disappear. The effect was marvellous, but he never used it in_ public, nor would he avail himself of the services ot o couple of your.g boa-constrictors which I tamed for'him at his own request. In South America, however, he sometimes turned a cage full of brilliant plumaged tanagers into bloated swamp toads, though he didn't like them either. g *BOBBIN UP SERENELY. How the Son of Abraham Lincoln Was Recelved in lowa, There was a reunion of old settlers at Mt. Pleasant, Iowa, which is notable not only for bringing together men promin- ent in national politics, but for the fact that Robert Lincoln was the leading fig- ure of the occasion. He was there be- cause he was the son-in-law of ex-Senator Harlan, and he made the speech of the occasion. Ex-Senator Saunders, a relative of the Harlans, Kirkwoods, and- other prominent Mount Pleasant people arrived home this morning. He describes the meeting oh Saturday as an immense affair. It was surprising, ' said the ex-senator, ‘*how the Bob Lincoln fever exists in lowa. Why, I can remember the time when 1 went to my old home 1n_Mount Ploasant the question used to be ‘Are you going tospeak? The same was the case with my brother-in-law, ex-Senator Kirkwood. "On Saturday it was simply ‘How d’ye do® When is Bob Lincoln coming?
