The conncil has been debating of late what material shall be used i the future in paving the streats. After spending nearly half & duy in sossion as & committee of the whole, they liave decided that they will do some paving the coming year, but have not determined just how much, It was ugreed t seo the property holders on certain streets and get theic views on this question, and if they favor paving, to see what material they preferred. The prevailing sentiment favors wood, but there is u decided preference on some streets in the residence portion of the city, whero thero is little heavy trafie, for brick. Non of the aldermen, however, are in favor of wooden paving, as it not only wears out quickly but is uuhealthy and ex- peusive in the end. The only thing to vy ommeud is the first cost, and property own- crs are already beginning to realize that it is far from being a permanent paving, The apidity with which the blocks a1e decayi on streets that were paved three years azo, together with the fact that eastern cities have declarcd against them, has set many of the citizens to thinking quite seriously, Itis evident that the streets paved with blocks will have to bo repaved bafore the last asscssment for the present paving be comes due, and this has called for consider- able fizuring on the part of several property owners, While brick is the choice of the majority, 1t is apvarent that_the brick thus far used is not the proper article. It is & question whother really first class paving brick can be manufactured here, ‘Urials thus far made, while they resulted in the production of much better material than the ordinary hard building brick, havenot turned out unything that can compare with the celebrated Gales- burg brick. The local brickmakers claim to be uble to produce an_article that will give satisfaction, but it is not yet forthcoming. The £50,000' piant that was promised in caso tain contracts were let has not, been put in, and there is no indication that it will be. The paving question is one that will soon have to be solved permanently, and 1t is of suflicient importance to attract considerable attention.

At a meeting *held Tuesday evening Hon, George F. Wright introduced a motion to dispense with Zevely's services and it carried. As has been previously stated, the relations between Mr. Zsvely and some of the moembers uf the board have not been of the most cordial nature, anl matters finully came to such a pass that severai"of the members refused to continue as mem- bers of the organization if he was retajned in the position of secretary. Oficers were to have been elected some time ago, but in view of the existing trouble it was deemed best to postpone it for awhile and see if the storm would not blow over. It failad to biow, and it became evident that the board totrade would drop into innocuous desuetude if the wait was prolonged until those de- manding a change submitted to the wishes of the minority. Accordingly the desired con- cession wus granted in the interest of har- mony So it happens that Mr. Zevely will be able hereafter to devote his full time and atten- tion to the reai estate exchange, of which he is also secretary, and to newspaper work, in which he indulges more or less for recroa- tion. Whatever Zevely's faults may be, or however much ground there may be for the charges made uxainst him, 1t is cériain that he has made the board a most eflicient secre- tary. He his worked most zealously in the interestg of the city and tho board may find it difticult to get a more energetic and pro= gressive man for the place. It is possible that he will be re-elected to his old position whnen the board effects a new organization in the sweet subsequently, but the indications Aro not promsing. stood that the position will not again be offered him. Since it became aoubtful whether or not & new organization could be effected the charter members of the old board have been rather uneasy. It wus argued that if Zevely was not dismissed, and the new board ¢id not materislize, he might possibly hold them for another yecar's salary, and they did not take kindly to the idea. For this reason they wera quite auxious to have the relation seve that they might feel relieved of avy responsibility, This had very material weight in leading to the dis- charge of the secrotary. It is stuted that the board now has fifty members ready for bus- iness this year, and they will shortly meet to elect new officers, e loventory clearing sale at the Hoston store, Council Bluffs, e F.

A Time-Honored R:medy W Considered Efficacious, The practice which is known as “'‘breaking up a cold” appears to have arisen, says the Toronto Globe, from a povular belief that a cold consists of an incrustation of solid ice somewhere in the system and that this can be got rid of only by the application of divers hot tiauids, a process analagous to the thaw- ing of frozen water-pipes. The prac- tice, as we have heard, is some- thing like this: About 10 o'clock at night the patient de- clures that, by George, he has got an awlul cold and that he means to break itup. He then disuppearsand shortly returns with a bottle of some kind of medicine, which is certified by the label to be foar or seven years old, according to the degree of mendacity of the bot- tler. Wateris then heated to about 14= Fahrenheit, poured into tumblers and mixed with sugar, lemonsand other articles intended to remove the fluvor of the medicine, which is declared tobe extremely unpleasant. It is customary for the friends of the patient to partake of the mixture, in order to show their sympathy for him, and to some extent 1o share his suffer- ngs. While the patient is drinking his bed is propured with unusual care, It is covered with an_abnormal number of blankets, intended to give aid and comfort to the hot stuff in its conflict with the aforesaid icy incrustation. A tendency to kick the clothes off is resi ted by Tastening flatirons and other weighty articles to the coverings. The patient wakes in the morning covered with a perspiration which he confi- dently believes to be the remnantof the conquered cold, Far be it from us to cast any doubt upon the efficacy of this time-honorad remedy. We are informed, however, that many persons regard the princi- pul ingredient in the hot mixture with dislike and even loathing, and that were it not for the extreme danger of neglecting a cold they would never par- tuke of it. We have, therefore, much pleasure 1n being able to state that the opinion is gaining ground that this nuauseous mix ture may be discarded and that the cold will y!efd as readily to the enlivening hot lemonade u the tooth- some gruel. This advice is all the more valuable - because lemons ana ont- meal, unlike the other ingredient to which we nave alluded, can be procured at u grocery store which does not pos- sess u license. e The Froper Thing for Evening.

CALL THEMSELVES 'SAMARITANS® And Advoeato the Drinking of the Bood of Members of Their Order Who Will submit to the al. A Konen For some ti ligious the ter City ne rumors of a new sect, which has found birth 1n tory adjacent tothe Blue rviver, just enst of this city, have been afloat and huve reached the earsof the volice, who have been asked for humani suke to interfere with the rituals, says o Kansas City special to the Denver Re- publican. The matter was reterréd to the humane oflicers, who gave the re- ports no credence, as they were too hor- rible to believ According to these reports the rituals were founded upon the seriptural 1n- junction to do good to tha sick. This injunction has been followed to the ex tent that the sect has degenerated into a band of human blood drinkers, those who are well allowing themselves to be bled for those who are ill. The district in which these horrible rites are practiced is within the new v limits and the chief of police sent Human Officer Marran to investigate the e, which was reported in the fol- lowing letter reccived by Humane Sec- retary Huckett: “Mr. Huckett: There is somethin I think ought to he calied to your atten- shun at once which I think is bad for a civilized community. their is John Wrinkle and his 2 “children Ile has been sick and he is crazy on religion. his hittle girl Minnie is 18 year old and his boy Johu is 1. Wrinkle has hern that people drink blod at the sloughter houses for their health an he said he believed in the bible that it preact that the well should muake 3u for the sick. “He did blead his little boy and girl until they are recks and he did drink the blod. It has leaked out an unless somethin is done by you the neighbors will take the matterin their own hand and that quick too He lives in a little piece ol land near the new city limit. yours vespectfully GEORGE W *p. 5. send some officers.” Otlicer Marran’s investigation of the matter proved that the letter to Secre- tary Huckett had not told half of the horrible sin_vogue among the neople who believed in the savage rites. About a year ago there appeared amon g the peopls of that neighborhood a man named Silas Wileox, who went about the country preaching the doctrine of doing good for the sick. It was uot long until he had a sufficient number of adherants to his theories to warrant him in founaing a sect which he called the ‘“‘Sumaritans.” Gradually he widened his teachings to hislittle band. until he openly advocated the drinking of blood for all diseuses, giving as au- thority for such action the fact that the bible taught that tlhie blood was thelite. Almost auily pilgrimages were made to the packing houses by those who were ailing, and there they drank the blood of the freshly killed heeves. It appenrs, however, that Wilcox was not satisfied with the blood of these ani- mals, and he soon advanced the doctrine that it was well to show belief in the teachings of the good book by giving up human blood for the sick und suffer- ing members of the band. This idea was gradually established, the human vampire being the first to prolit by the horrible practic. Wilcox apparently became very sick and wus unable to make the pilgrimage to the packing house. He called upon the fuithful members of the band to volunteer to save his life.- A woman named Nancy Dixon was the first to show her belief in the doctrine, and she bared her arm for the extraction of the life-giviug fluid. Wilcox sucked the blood from her arm and the effect was marvelous, for he recovered from his illness the same day. This visible manifestation of the truth of doctrine made a great impression on the members of the band, and the result has been that from that day the habit or practice has increased and 15 now u regular practice among the sect of Sumaritans. At the home of John Wrinkle, men tioned in _the letter, wecre found two emaciated children as the letter had said. On the bed lay Wrinkle, who was apparently in the last stages of consumption. - When questioned about drinkivg the blood of the children he strenuously denied having doue so, and the children also said that such bad not been done. Their bloodless wppear- ance, however, excited the suspicion of the officer and he compelled them to show their arms., These members were in a terrible condition, being covered with scars around the inside of the elbow joint, showing pluinly the effects of the bleeding. When confronted with this evidence of the truth of the accusa- tion, Wrinkle ancknowledged thut he had availed himself of the opportumty and the cnildren had willingly given their blood to restore him to ¥|l:ll.llh. The man was in such a condition that he could not be moyed, but the children were taken from the house and placed in the children’s home. Chief Speers is anxious to put a stop to the vile prac- tice, but it appewrs there is no law which covers the case and novhing sun be done except to protect the children from the hubit. An investigation'into the rites of the sect_shows the folowing facts: The band of Samaritans numbers about twenty and holds regular weekly meet- ings at the houses'of the different mem- bers. Atthese meetings the sick or ailing members ask for assistance from the well ones, and these ure detailed to give their blood aceording to their con- dition of health und strength. When a member becomes very sick the well ones take turns in sapplying him with the life-giving fluid. They claim that they have as magk right to do this wher the blood is-a-voluntary contribu- tion as the physigiaps have to transfuse blood from oné person to another. — Nervous decility, poor memory, difiidence sexual weakness, ' pimples, cured by Dr Miles' Nervine.

I Self-Playing Ouri The Listener of the Boston T'ranseript noticed a very odd placard in a Wush- ington street widow last evening: it read: “'Self-play-cards.” At the time he hadn’t curiosity enough to go in and find out what self-playing cards are, but the furtber away he got from the sign the more his curiosity was aroused, and the-more he was impressed with the no- tion that the inventor of these articles had got hold of u very good thing. Real self-playing caras that would sit up at the table and play themselves would be an unspeakable on to thousauds of people. With such an invention an in- vitation to a card party would not be quite s0 desoluting as it generally is ses Manufacturers® General Agents for Full Line of IVPLEMENTS now.

Nebraskan's genious Way Talking to His Deaf Daughter. A of *James V. Dorpman and daughter, Lodge Pole, Neb.,” is written in a bold hand on the register at the Ridgeway house, Market street and Delaware avenue, says the Philadelphia Inquirer. Mr. Dorpman of ty v with a long strongly tinged with gray. His ter is about eight has a pretty, intelligent face and the brightest and bluest kind of bright blue eyes. When Mr. Dorpman and his daughter fivst came to the Ridgeway house they attracted the attention and curiosity of the guests by their strange behavid Whether in the parlor or in the dining- room Mr. Dorpman always sat on the left-hand side of his daughter and tupped ner left arm constantly with the fingers of his right hand, as though playing on o typewriter. His fingers skilmed nimbly at random from the girl’s wrist almost to her shoulder and buck again. At intecvals he paused und the girl smiled, nodded her head, or else tapped her left arm in the same manner with the fingers of her right hand, the old man closely watching their movement. The strange actions of the couple were subjects of continual commentand speculation among the guests. Finally some one noticed thatthe father and daughter were never hewrd to ex- change a word. They always sat quietly when in each othor’s presence, and were always drumming on the girl’s left arm as il it were a pianoforte. The girl kept away {rom the other guests of her sex, and was never seen in conversation with any one. At the dining table Mr. Dorpmun gave the ordeys to the waiters both for himself and his daughter. When Proprictor Butterwroth met the young womin on the stairs last Thurs- day and said, affably, **Good morning,” she never auswered the salute. The strange actions of the couple occasioned such widespread comment and curiosity wnong the guests of the house that finall Proprietor Butterworth ap- proached Mr. Dorpman while he was standing at the cigar counter one day, und after a few minutes of general con- versution asked him to explain the cause of his constant tapping on his daughter’s arm, 3 “So you've noticed thav. eh?’ said Mr. Dorpman with a laugh. “Well, that is how 1 talk to Hattie. She is deaf and dumb.”’? Mr. Butterworth asked him how he was able to converse with his daughter by simply drumming on her arm. “You'll think it is easy after I tell you,” he answered. "You must re- member that we came from an obscure part of Nobraska, settled there with my wife a quarter of a century ago. KEigh- teen years ago when Hattie was born, there was not a house within a mile of us, nor a city within sixty miles. As the child grew older we discovered that she was deaf and dumb. We were at a loss how to communicate with her. We were far away from a civilized cum- munity, and no one we knew was famil- iur with the sign language of the deaf mutes, so that the baby grew up to be a child hefore we could devise some scheme to talk to her. “Fionally my wifé hit upon a novel idea. She got a clever young fellow who worked for us to tattoo the alpha- bet on Hattie’s arm, The letter ““A" began just nbove thé wrist and the let- ter **Z” ended just below tne shoulder blade. Hattie was then six years old. In less than o _year by this means my wife had taught her the alphabet. “Then we began to spell out words touching each letter very slowly with our fingers. As the chiid learned we became faster, and when Hattie was twelve years old we wereable to talk to her as rapidly s a person can spell out words on a typewriter. Hattie, too, learned to answer us by drumming on her tattooed arm, Of course for several years at first, when we wanted to tall 1w her, or she to us, she had o roll up the sleeve of her left arm. Graduaily her sense of touch became so fize that she knew without looking just where each letter was located, and her mother and I,by constant practice,were enabled to strike these letters with her sleeves rolled down. A I Beethoven's Lust t fano. The ‘‘Beethoven’s house society,” Bonn, has recently acquired Beetho- ven's last piano. It was mude by the court piano maker, Konrad Graff, who died in Vienna in 1851, says the London Stapdard. He went to that city in the beginning of this century, and soon gained a reputation by the excellence of his piunos. The nstrument in ques- tion was expressedly ordered from him by Beethoven. In consideration of his deafness it was made with four strings t each key instead of the usual three.

He was Mr, Henry Dodge of 911 Fourth street. He had just got a copy of vesterday's pa- per, and had searcely résted his eyes on it when the paper dropped from his hands and he covered his eyes with them and cried: **My God! I'm struck blind.” He leaned on the counter and sobbed, his shoulders shaking, and tears from his sightless oyes streaming through his fingers. Mr. Dodge wears on his breast the bronze emblem of the Grand Army of the Republic. A wound he had re- ceived in the army had injured his spi- nal cord. Fram the effects of the wound he has never recovered, and some time ago he suffered a partial stroke of paralysis. His sudden blindness probably is ot- tributable to the same cause. He felt no pain, he said, but his eyes were as sightless as though they had been plucked out.
