This shows the substantial manner in which outside cap- atalists pin their faith to Council Bluffs, and is indisputable evidence as to how her pros- pects are regurded abroad. Two fires occurred last evening, the first being the awning at Sam Ford’s place on Upper Broadway, and the second at a dwell- ing on South Main street owned by Mrs. Donahue. Both fires were caused by fire- crackers. Damage slight. While running to the fire on South Main street the small hook and ladder truck struck a man at the corner of Main and Broadway and knocked bim down, breaking his shoulder blade. As Mrs, Brewer,an elderly colored woman, was about to alicht from the motor carat the corner of Eighth and Broadway yester- day afternoon the train started and she was thrown off buckward, She was badly bruised about the head and was also injured in- ternally. The physician has not been able to determine the extent of the internal in- Jury. One of the passengers on the out-going Burlington train had a satehel containing $400 stolen last night. When the train stopped ut the crossing a man picked up the satehel, dropped off the train and disap- eared. The police are looking for the thief, ut as the owner of the satchel can not give much of a description of him the chances of finding him are slight. Mr. H. H. Inman and Miss Juha C.

TESTING THE WATER PRESSURE. The Aldermen Not Inclined to Cen- sare the Water Works Company-— The Day at the Lake—Oarbee Again in the City. Patriotic BlufMtes. The national holiday vassed quietly, but patriotically, in the Blufts. The small boy and his grown up brother devoted the morn- ing hours to industriously establishing ef- fective connections between burning pieces of punk atd firecrackers of all sizes and cor- responding degrees of noise. A short rest during the middle of the day enabled them to get to work in the evening with greater energy than before, and the result'was ap- parent in the increased racket of the closing hours of the Glorious Fourth. As far as the Bluffs was concerned the day was a very large one; in fact, one of mammoth proportions, if the expression may be allowed, There were very few disturb- ances, and these wore not of an aggravated nature, and the attention of the police was directed largely to keeping in check the overflowing patriotism that welled from the hearts of the rising generation. The motor trains and street cars were unable to meet the doemand made upon them, and dozens of would-be passengers were left at each trip, unable to secure transportation, During the forenoon nearly all the travel was to the Chautauqua grounds, and train load after train load was whirled out to that beautiful spot. The programme there is elsewhere given. In the afternoon every- body wanted to go to the lake, and Colonel Reed was unable to furnish cars fast enough to take them. It seemed as if all of Omaha had come over to this side of the river to spend the day and assist in its proper cele- bration. T'nose who could not secure pas ago on the motor took carriages and 'busscs and were not long in joining their friends on the lake front. % It seemed during the afternhon as if the day was going to be decidedly tame in the central pertion of the city, but the evening more than made amends for oversight of the earlier hours. The display of fireworks was quite extensive, and the cannon cracker fusilade was terrific. The streets were filled with sightseers, and all contributed to the general hilavity of the occasion. It is pleasing to mote, in connection with this, that there were no fatalities or sad casualties to mar the pleasure of the day. Of course, there were the ususl number of burned finzers and a few singed mustaches, but there were no distressing accidents to call for public attention. It was a grand and patviotic display, and its features were nearly all of a pleasing nature. The observance of the day was creditable to the city, and may be classed among its successful events. gl e Important to Ladies and Gentlemen.

R — ©lose of Chautauqua. Yesterday was the closing and crowning of the Chautauque assembly for the season of 1850, It wasa grand, intelligant celebra- tion of the national natal day. Other cele- brations may have had more noise in the air and more red in the lemonade, but none had more to move the emotions or exercise the thought. There were about six thousand men, women and children who took in more or less of the day’s doings at Chautauqua. The fore- noon entertainment in the great amphi- theatre was opened with national airs by Rogers' band. This musical organization has wade itself very popular with the Chau- tauqua audiences, ‘The excellent rendition of classical picces is_enough to warrant the praise rities, but it is not by this that the popularity of the band is caused. More is due to the ‘introduction of musical novel- ties, as is evidenced by the repeated calls for hunting song, in which the crack of . whips, firing of guns, bayig of the hounds, e ; the applause called forth by The Forge in’ the Forest,” with its gleam- ings of light, and merry anvil chorus. Yes- teraay these and other favorites were again rendered. Auother excellent feature of the musical programme of the day was the presence of the Schubert quartette. Like Rogers' band, they render the most difficult selections with wonderful effect, and then they combine with this excellence a successful appeal to the popular ear and emotion by their novel- ties of “Baa, Baa, Black Sheep,” “Petor Piper,” ete. The audiences were really wild, and would hardly let them rost their voices. They were very accommodating, and in- dulged the appreciative hearers liberally, singing to the very last minute, and then jumping into the ‘bus _to catch the train, while hurrahs and the Chautauqua salute of waving handkerchiefs bid them God speed, and expressed the wish for a safe return next our, y'l'lw orator of the day was Hon. R. G. Horr, of Michigan. He spoke for over an hour, aud pictured in his own happy, bumor- ous way the greatness of this country and its people. He is an optimist, and his snn- shiny views tinged all the oration, The keen wit ~caused the laugh to go round and round again, until the many wearied sides were rested by the bits of pathos, introduced ns a happy relief, Then there > flashes of eloquence which called forth ause uutil the palms of many hands were reddened, Many of the perplexing questions Mr, Horr sought to solve by having the reform start in tho howmes of the land. ‘The nation being a banding together of individuals, the better- ing of the weifare of the individuals would necessarily lead to a bettering of national life. Thehome being the greatest Influence on the individual life, it was to the homes of the lund that all must look as the basis of nationsl prosperity, In the afternoon there was a musical treat —n real concert—in which the band, Schu- bert quartette and the assembly chorus took part. ‘There was interjected a little prosiac, but necessury information in regard to the financiul condition of the great enterprise. Dr. Gillette, who is the superintendent of instruction, gave a summary of the literary and scientific feast which has been in pro- gress for the seventeen days. There bad 241 lectures and public enter- tainments, classes, etc. Of these 135 bhad Dbe of the popular order, The season tickets being only $3, it made each entertainment cost any oune less than 3 certs. ‘’bis was sufticient evidence that the Chau- taucua was for the masses. These enter- taininents were of such high order that one would, during the winter season, have to pay from 25 cents o §1 w0 hear any one of them. Tho 185 popular entertainments would average 50 cents each in any city during the winter seas Yet at Chautauqua the ad- mission to all of them was only $3. Dr. Gillette said it was the intention to have as good or better IJ'PU gramme next vear, The gato receivts aud other revenues were put right hack into the enterprise, Hence it depended wholly on the publi¢ spirit aud geoerosity ol)mtrnnugn, as 1o the success and enjoyment of the assembly. The enshusiastic applause throughout his address indicated the willingness of the public to stand I)i the enterprise. Rev. Dr. Phelps paid a befitting tribute to the sacrifices made by the manager, J. E. Harkness. e attributed the starting of this enterprise o his untiriug encrgy and wisdom. ‘I'iere were cries for *Harkness,” “Harkness,"” and axud much applause he made his first sppearance on tie platform, He spoke but briefly, modest:s disclaiming any desire f(or personal praise o promi- nence. It was not an individual enterprise, but one of tho people and for tho people. Tts success depended upon the people. It was theirs, and as such they should rally to its support and make it 80 strong financially as to be beyond all peril. Rev. Dr, Phelos made a_statemont of tho financial condition, the figures being approx- imately correct. The programme this season had cost about #,000, including. expenses of Rgate-keeers, ato. The receipts from tiok- ets, tents, etc., had only reached about $4,000. This left a deficit of $3,000, and mado_tho total debt about $20,000, There was about 5,000 of subscriptions which had not y been paid. These delinquonts should pay at once, and §30,000 more should bo_raised to put ' the enterprise on a solid founda- tion, The trustces haa given _their individual notes to borrow #4,000. They should not be allowed to carry this burden, for it was an enterpriso which was for the people at large. Of the £0,000 additional needed there was about 6,000 which had been voluntarily pledged by public spirited citizons, some of wnom had of their own accord promised to pay $1,000 cash if tho debt was cleared off. All these facts were presented, not for the purpose of rais- at this mecting, but that all might be informed, so that when the committee waited on them they would bs prepared to give liberal support to the enterprise. At4 o'clock in_the afternoon there was a campfire, at which Colonel Champion Chase, of Omahia, Judge Hubbard and other speak- ers made enthusiastic speeches, In the evening it was expected that Rev. John De Witt Miller would speak, but a cablegram was received explaining his in- ability to reach here, Fireworks and iliuminations closed the day and the assembly session for 1889, i i M.

As has been previously stated 1n_these columns, there has been a lamontable lack of pressure at several of the fires that have occurred during the past few weeks, and the matter demanded an investi- gation. At the last eeting of the city coun- cil a committee, consisting of Aldermen Knopher, Lacy and Everett, was appointed to look into the matter and ascertain, if pos- ;ihln, what was peeded to remedy the de- ect. ‘L'he first move in the investigation was made shortly before midnight Wednesday night. The big ball on the central tire station was cut out from the main tircuit, and a false alarm turned in from box 2, at the upper end of Broadway. Hose 3, from the Broadavay fire station, &nd the chief’s wagon responded. In making the run, the latter vehicle met with an accident. A’ buggy had been left standing in the street i frontof Norman Green’s stuble, and the chief’s horse dashed into It on & dead run. Assistant Chief Walters, who was driving, was thrown out, and sustained some severe bruises. One hand and arm wére badly cut and he also received a deep gash on the left leg below the knee. Chief Walters was thrown out about fifty fect beyond, alighting upon his arm, which was badly strained, but fortunately no bones were broicen, Cor- oner Waterman, who was also in the buggy at the time managed to keep his seat, and stouped the horse after a wild run of about three bloc Had the accident happened on he granite instead of on the block paving, serious if not fatal injuries would buve un- doubtedly been the result. Upon reuching the hydrant near the box, two lines of hose wereattached. Oue siréam was turned on, and water was thrown about fifty feet. After full pressiure was received two streams were thrown, one sixty and the other fifty feet. As the nozzles used were each an inch and a quarter, this result was as good as the contract with the city calls for. The only trouble was' in the time required to get full pressure. As soon as the alarm was sent in the valves at the police station were changed, 5o as to throw direct pumping pressure on the mains. When the reser voir pressure was shut off the indicator on the pressure gauge ran down to 0, and there re- mained for nearly ten minutes, when it ad- vanced to 9) pounds, and in about thirty minutes from the time the alarm was turned in reached 120 pounds, where it remained until the pumping station was notified that the pumps might be stopped, The question that natural why it required so much time to get pounds pressure. The firemeu asserted that steam must have been allowed to go down, and that this was what had always been the trouble. It wus alleged that the water works company attempted to economize by allowing the stéam to get aown during the night, when the fires were banked, and that pressure could not be secured until the fires were raked dowa and a good head of steam tten up. This seemed the only reasonable xplanation, and it was geunerally accepted as the correct one, Such was the result of the test at the up- town end of the line, and Trr BEeE visited the water works pumping station yesterday for the purpose of ascertaining how things had worked there, and if there bad been any mishap to accouut for the delay. The engi- oer was scen, and his statement was as fol- ows : “We do not generally run the pumps dur- ing the night unless for some special reason, as during a fire or something of that kiud. Ilive just across the street, and when an alarm is received here the night fireman gives the signal by the whistle, This 18 done instantly, and it never fails to wake me. I hurry right over here and start the pum which requires but a very few minutes. We always carry from seventy-five to ninety pounds of steam, and can at any time pump fast enough to throw all the water necessary to maintein a pressure of at least 120 pounds on the mains, Lust night I had 120 pounds pressure after the pumps had beeu working five minutes, and all the while they kept tel- ephoning from the polico station that they had eignty or ninety pounds, or none at all, I know that they kept changing the stops, for I could tell by the work of my pressure guage, as woll as by the great chauges that they kept reporting. My pressure guage was not interfered, and it showed correctly what the pressure was. I know that I had 120 pounds pressure all the time, after the pumps began to work, which nov five minutes after the alarm was received.” As the pressure at the hydrant was strong and steady after the pumps were started, the statement of the engincer may be re- garded as being corrobrated by facts. It may be said without the fear of success- ful contradiction that the work at the police station was eminently unsatisfactory and unjust to the motor works company. A party of fully half a dozen men were grouped about the fire pressure machinery, slter- nately turning wheels and levers or whatever they could lay their hands on, Their movements were regulated and con- trolled by guess work with an occasional ref- erence 10 the vrinted directions. It may safely be saia that none of the party could correctly make the change from ‘‘reservoir’ to “'fire,” ov vice versa, without consulting the directions; yet this they failed to do and scemed to be simply experimenting instead of properly regulating the n[:lmrutul. for the purpose of making & fair and umpartial test, It would seem to an outsider that they were trying to see how badly the whole affair could be botched up. Several times the water was entirely shut off from the guage for ne minutes. Frequently the drain was closed when it should have been open and the influent was open when it should have been closed. The upparatus was changed at least a dozen times, and all this, too, without auy necessity or excuse whatever. This being the case, it is not at all surpris- ing thas the guages at the police station and the one at the pumping station should vary 80 materially, The test can not be regarded as a fair one, or even as any test at all. The using of the fire apparatus as o mere bplay- thing when its best services are needed can not result in good an efficient service. This burlesque of & test adds great strength to the argument made by Alderman Lacy at the last meeting of the council that this appa- ratus should be removed from the lice tion to one of the fire hous Said he: 'here are & qraul mavy times when the police station is locked up, and no oue there to attend to the apparatus in casc of an alars ‘There are frequently changes in the jailors on duty, and the new meu are not acquainted with the workings of it. If sta- tloned at a fire house, & man could be de- tailed for thls especial duty wheuever an alarm was recoives ‘Llis is but a straw to shiow which way the arose was, wind blows, or how this alderman stands upon the subject. 1t cannot bo disputed th Alderman Lacy is oneofthe best qualifind men in the city to pass upon the question (f fire pressare or fire setvice of any kind. He was for several yeats chief of the local department, and has servod on both the flre and water commit 1 the council. In view of all of his eXpsrience, his opinion must necessarily Sn, worth some- thiog. At tho " last meeting of the council he plainly stated that the trouble in the past had ubk /'been with the pressure, but with the'fire department in at- taching_too many lies of hose to a small main, Tnz Bee hins ropeatedly called atten- tion to this very thing since the disastrous acking house fire some time ago. Alderman Lacy particularly called, attention to the Strock Bros,’ planing milt fire, where there was amplo pressure, but too many lines on tho main, At the packibg house fire, five lines of hoso were attached to a four inch main, but the water warks company was cen- sured for neglect to give pressure. A little investigation has shown the diffi- culty to lie far from the doors of the water works company, in all of theso recent fires. The two above stated are not the only ones that may bo explained in a similar manner, At the fire at Snoemaker's house, corner of Seventeenth street and Fourth avenue, the hydrant was but partially opened and the swater, held back from its proper outlet, washed out a hole saveral feet in diameter, yot the same howl was raised of a lack of prossure, At the Blackman stable fire a few days ago, the alarm failed to come in at the water works pumping station owing to trouble with the electric Spparatis, and, pressirs was tot turned on until ordered by telephone, As 800n as ordered the pressure was given. It secms strango that all of this trouble has arisen of late when herctofore almost perfect service has been given, and there are many who coincide with Alderman Lacy thatthe trouble must be looked for outside of the water works system proper. Alderman Everett expresses the opinion that a thorough investigation is called for, to demonstrate who is to blame. He thinks that soveral tests should be made to seo if the water works company js complying with the requircments of the contract, which provides that any hydrant must bo able to furnish two fifty-foot streams from an inch zle. As the city is not provided withinch zzles this test is never made, and the alderman from the Fourth ward insists that they must be purchased at once for this purpose. The test of Wednesday night was more than equal to this, and other tests in various parts of the city are noeeded to see whether the same will hold true regarding all of the mains and hydrants, The circumstances, as thus far developed, indicate that Alderman Lacy’s theory is good, and that further tests will only tend to corroborate his opinion as already expressed.

Eey A WEB-SPINNING MONSTER. Big Spiders Found in the Mountains of Ceylon. Far up in the mountains of Ceylon and India there is a spider that spins a_web like bright yellow silk, the central net of which ive feet in diameter, while the supporting guys, as they are called measure sometimes ten or twelve feet long, and riding quickly in the early morning you may dash right into it, the stout threads twining round your face like a lace veil, whilé as the creature who has woven it takes up his position in the middle he generally catches you right 1n the nose, and, though he sel- dom bites or stings, the contact of his large body i thing but pleasant. If you forget yourself and try to catch him, bite he will, and, though not ve- nomous, his jaws are as powerful as a bird’s beak, and you are not likely to forget the encounter. The bodies of thesespiders are ve handsomely decorated, being br gold or scarlet underneath, while the upper part is covered with the most delicate slate-colored fur, So strong are the webs that birds the s1za of larks are frequently caught therein, and even the small but pow fully scaly lizard falls a victim. Often have I watched the yellow or scarlet monster, measuring, when wait- ing for his proy, with his legs stretched out, fully six inches, striding across the middle of {he net, and noted the rapid manner in which he winds his stout threads around the unfortunate captive, says a writer in Rare Bits, He usually throws the collnbout the head until the wretched victim is first blinded and then choked. In many unfrequented dark nooks of the dark jungle you come across most perfect skeletons of small birds caught in these terrible snares, the strong folds of which prevent the delicate bones from falling to the ground after the wind and weather have dispersed the flesh and feathers. el You can not accomplish any work or business unless you feel weil.

Farmeérs who grow evergreens either for utility us a windbreak or for orna- ment, lose much of their value by neg- lecting to prune them, says the Town Homestead. As a result, many of the varieties grow up seraggy and open. This is especially true of Scotch pine. It makes its entive growth for the s son in about six weeks ending early in July. All that is necessary is to take a pair of scissors and clip off half their new growth. This shortens up the spaces between the branches, and as a result the tree grows compact and dense, a perfect thicket of green leaves which the blizzards cannot penetrate.
