Shortly after dark on Thanksgiving night a valuable horse and buggy belonging to Liv- eryman Georgo Wesner, were stolen by some unkuown person. The horse bad been hitched for a few moments in front of o business house on Main street. When the gentleian who had hired the rig came out it was gone. He reported the fact to the pro- prietor of the stable and the police were notified, During the night no tidings of the lost rig could be obtained. Yestorday morn- ing efforts for a more extended search were arranged. At noon yesterday John Cook, a young farmer living & short distance east of the city, came to the oity building with the missing horse and buggy, u«'s‘l\l!\\“lllh’\l by his wife and baby, He roported that he had found the horse 100sg at the foot of the Canning hiil, between the fity and the Chautauqua grounds, The horse was dripping with perspiration, and had apparently been driven very hard.

An Alleged Attempt at Highway Robbery near Oresent Uity on Thanksziving, TALKS ABOUT ~ CHEAP FUEL GAS. How the New Company Oan Afford to Make it Cheaper than Naturval Gas—Stolen Horse Recove ered--Minor Mention A man named Cowan, who has been trad- ing in horses, had a rather startling Thanks- giving experience near Crescent. He had noticed two fellows who seemed to be follow- ing him about, and as he had cousiderable money on his person he naturally concluded that they had le termined to rob him. About three miles from (o] nt he stopped at a farm house, and in- formed the folks there that these two men had been following him, and he wanted to stay until they had goue along up the road. They soon passed the house in a bugey, and after they had gone he started on. Before he had procceded far one of the feilows, whose uar prove to be George Johnson, stopped him, and pointing a revolver at him declared that he wanted him, as he was an oficer, The startled horseman demanded to see the warrant, to which Jobn- son replied that the other fellow, who was a little w off in the buggy, had the warrant, The man refused to be taken into custody under any sucb a demand, and when the other fellow me up with the bug.y, he could produce no warrant. The other man, whose name was afterwards asceértained to be Bryan Riley, was too drunk to have produced reant if he had one. After the attempt ork this bluff had failed the fellows drove off, and the horseman went to Crescent, filed an informution, and soon offic.rs W after the twomen, They succeeded in arresting both and bringing them to Crescent. The, ‘were charged with attemote . Both the men arrested s of Mis- souri Valley, where they hired a team in the forenoon of that day for the purpose of tak- inga drive. Johnsoa s said to have had a record, Riley is said to be an in- tizen, whose ds say he was ¥ led into the serape by being full of reckless whisky. O heory of the affuir 1 that the b who had been at Missouri Valley, had d into C of robbing him at the first good opportunity Theother is that the two men were just drunk enough to want u little scrap, and that they came across this man by chance, merely giving him a scare as the result of a drunken frolic. Crescent was badly torn up over the affair, and the news that two highway robbers nad been captured went like the wind. —— A BUSINE PROPOSITION, We Have One to Talk to You Abo BUSINESS FOR_YOU AND BUSINESS FOR US.

The company is incorporated under the laws of the state, and the company that is being or ganized here has filed its articles of incor- poration with the county auditor, I assure you that Sued, and if theve is not less freedom used in talking about its affairs there may be some libel suits instituted,” The general history of the organization has never been published, and there has been a good deal of mystery surrounding it. The gentleman, when pressad for informa- tion concerning the enterprise, ave Tue Bee o brief history of 1t and a rough description of the process used to make fuel gas largely out of the two elements, water and air, A company com- posed of reliable men has purchased the right to introduce and use the process in Towa and has about concluded negotiations for a similar right for the state of Nebraska, s their intentian to establish plants in every city in the two states that is large enough to supportan old-fashioned gas works. To do this would require more capital than the company could command, and the officers have determined to enlist local capital in every city where they establish a plant, They were anxious to establish the first plant erected in Towa at Council Bluffs, for the reason that it is the only important gate- wiy between the east aud west located in the state. The plan is to make this the principal or parent plant, and the company would make its heaviest investment here. The #10,000 of local capital asked to be subseribed is not to bo paid in until the plant has been partially erected and the practicabllity of the process demonstrated by actual work. Then the amount is only to be paid in small install- ments, the final installients not t0_be paid until nearly a year after the completion of the worl 2 The process used is as differont from any other known as the method of producing an electri it is different from that of making ndle. It is known as the Hall pro- the result of profound investiga- ion and the application of recent chemical discoveries, It is based upon the deduction that the amount of oxygen necessary o con- sume a pound of coal equals 5o many cabic feet, and instead of permitting the combus- tion' to take place in an ordinary retort by the application of intense heat around it the coal is cousumed in a retort hermetically soaled and into which the requisite number of cubie feet of atmosphere has been forced under pressure. It 18 estimated that 288 cubie feet of atmosphere is requived to consume one pound of coal, and if & ton of coal has been' placed in the retort then 2,000 times this amount of air is forced in mixed with steam. The coal is consumed and the entire product of combustion finally goes into the gasholder. It has more tho character of vapor ot alcohol or ether than of ordinary carbuvetted hydrogen ard burns when ignited in the open air with an iutense- Iy hot blue flame as froc from smoke as al- cohol. By this process they claim to be able to demonstrate that they can produce several hundred thousand feet of fuel gas from the combustion of & single ton of boal. This is sufticient to indicate that they can furnish gas at 2 cents & thousand to the consumer und make a big profit. Council Bluffs will eventually have the plaat, but unless the small amount of stock offered is taken at once thery will be some delay in getting it, and this will not the initial point to be visited by thousands to ses the first cheap fuel g lf&nl in the west, Sioux City men have of- ered to subscribe the amount asked for at once provided the company will make that town the initial point.

All the members were present and they sailed through the busines as smooth as summer scas, with the exception of one little hiteh, The sccretery’s minutes of a previous meeting were changed to read that the board had accepted the special assessments un- matured on some lots 1 Geendale addition. A communication was received from the state superintendent regarding the attend- ance of teachers at the state teachers meet- ing. The superintendent urged the attend- ance of teachers at the meeting of the association at Des Moines commencing B0 and continuing four days. He also suggests that the board arrange a vaca- tion to permit them to attend, The communication was without action, The teachers committee reported that one room in the new addition to the Twentieth avenue school was completed and the board accepted their recommendation to elect Miss Ada Ainsworth as teacher for the new room he committee aiso recommended that the ary of Miss Belle Barclay be increased to b per mouth, and the recommendation was agreed to, The committee on supplies roported having ordered seats for two rooms in the Twentieth avenue building. The committee on itors recommended that the salary of the janitor at the Twen- tieth avenue school be fixed at #40 per month and that she be allowed #7.50 for extra work done in cleaning out the building, "The ve- port was approved after £.50 had been clipped from the fee asks for extra work. The basement was ordered to be filled up suitable for the residence of the jan- itress. The heating apparatus was = or- dered to be placed in position by the contractor to whom the work was awarded. A proposition for repairing and keeping in repair the heating appuaratus in the Bloomer building was rejected and the matter was referred back to the committee. Chairman Hunter of the finance committee reported that the committee had been unable to negotiate the bonds issued for the new school buildings at the mium expected by the board and stated that they could not do much better than sell them at par. There were strong symptows of arow when Member Hunter announced that he had placed $10,000 insurance on the Twentieth and Second avenue scnool buildings. He stated that he had called at Mr, Waite's of- tice to consult him, but did not find him and went ahead and placed the msurance. Mr. Waiite objected to Hunter's action and stated that the placing of the insurance belonged to the committee of which he was chairman,and Hunter had mnothing at all to do with it. The matter elicited a good deal of theold style of acrimoniousdebate, and when Mr. Schoentgen moved to accept the report Mr. Wells seconded it, the vote showed the same old deadlock that has caused so much trouble, and the president declared the mo- tion lost. Mr. Hunter explained that he had called upon Mr. Schoentgen, one of the mem- bers of Waite's committeo, and the two placed the insurance. Mr. Waite a i ob- jected to receiving the policies, and Mr. Wells moved that £5,000 on the Second avenue and the §2,000 on the Twentieth avenue and $4,000 on the same building be accepted. There was no second tothe motion. Mr. Wells moved that the policy of $,000 on Necond avenue be accepted and it was carried. The contractors w allowed 1,500 for work done on the Second avenue building. An order was o ed drawn on the contin- gent fund for the amount. Prof. H. W. Suwyer, the newly elected superintendent, was present and was intro- duced by Mr. Blaxsim, and although suffer- ing from an acute sore throat, he made a numorous speech that highly pleased the members, After putting the board in good humor with tself, he very eloquently stated tuat he had come here with the clearly de- fined intention of doing his best to make a reputation for himself and to labor for the best interests of the school. At the conclus- i peech he asked to be granted a bsence until next Wednesday, stat- ing thot it would be necessary for him to re- turn to St. Joseph on the 10 o'clock train last evening * The request was granted. The president assured him that he coul enter upon his duties with the full and hearty sup- port of all the members of the board. Mr. Sawyer is a fine looking man of about forty years of age. Heis of rather heavy build, duli black w! ers and mustache and has a Pai of restless gray eyes, The bill t Maxon for plans for the econd aveuue building, which were accepted and subsequently rejected, was called up. Mr. Hunter gave it as his opinion that the board was indebted to Maxon tothe amouut of his claim, £500, for lis re- jected plans, less $100 already paid him. The president stated that Maxon had aiveady commenced suit, and the board would have to pay the attorneys employed, and suggested that the matter be left us unfinished business and the committee be directed to confer with the attorneys and report at the next meeting, The remainder of the session was consumed in the allowance of the regular monthly bills, —_—— Money to loan at straight 5 per cent per annum, E.

To the gencrous public: In our times practical Christianity has entered upon o broader conception and more generous in- terpretation of the brotherhood of man. As a vatural outgrowth of this spirit of mutual dependence and helpfulness has been the de- velopment of Christian charities and perma- nent institutions for the protection and care of the weak and unfortunate, Prompted bya desiveto contribute our share in this mighty evolution, five yeavs ago our associa- tion responded toalong felt want, and opened a cottage hospital in the northern part of the city.

Ster- ling, who was executed here for the murder of Lizzie Grombacker, has un- veiled strange facts concerning an inci- dent that occurred shortly before the execution, s cial to the San Francisco Examiner. Sterling’s mother came here from Maxwell, Canada, and though he had left home when but a lad, with maternul intuition she recognized him when brought 1o his cell. Sterling, without a quiver of a muscle, said: ““You are mistaken, madam; I am not your son.” She implored him to recognize her, but he refused, and she returned home half convinced that she was mistaken. To his counsel Sterling said: She is my mother, but I could not break her heart by telling her that her son would be hanged. Keep it secret until she dies.” Her death during the past week caused his attorney, Anderson, to break the seal of silence today. “It was the most dramaticscene I ever witnessed,” suid Mr. Anderson. i have seen ull the tragedies of tho past quarter of a century but none that com- pared to the scene on that oceasion.” *The mother, eve line in her face showing intense suffering, and her heart nearly broken, while the son, knowing that the truth would kill her, stood like astatue, his face showing the palor of death, showing her that she was mis- taken, - “Such intensity of action was nevor produced on any stage.

A gentleman riding on an elevated train in company with a handsome and fashionable young lady became much an- noyedat the persistently offensive man- ner with which an ornamental young man opposite stared at his compunion, says the New York Sun. The fellow fixed her with his eyes and in his face was un expression of vulgar enjoyment which amounted almost to grinning amusement, In n did the gentlernan scowl across the car at the insulting person. The latter did not notic ormer’s rage, having nointerest in any one but the girl, Finally matters were brought to a crisis by the young maun, who, when the young woman chanced to turn her gaze in his direction. smiled deliberately at her and made a sign to her. This was too much for the gentleman to bear, so he rose in his wrath, and, making one step across the car, leaned over and muttered into the young man’s eur: “If you don't stop 1 will throw from the train at the next station.” The young man looked back into the infuriated eyes of the gentleman with most astounding placidity, and re- marked quietly: “Suppose you ask th look out for her laundr, The gentleman turned and looked at the girl, On her lap was a_bundle, the paper of which had burst. Down at her feet reposed a crumpled stocking, and from the orifice caused by the broken paper projected the edge of an unmistakable garment. Greatly taken aback, the gentleman re- turned to his seat and deftly picked the stocking from the floor, at the same time ggasping the bundie on the girl’s lap, presumably with the in- tention of hiding with as little aw! wardness 8s possible the telltale gar- ment that was obtruding itself. He would better have left it alone, however, for as he clutched at the paper it burst entirely, and a pretty girl’s laundry was outspread to the view of a car full of amused spectators. The gentleman, now thoroughly uncomfortable, hastily jam- med the clothing under his overcoat und made the girl leave the train with him at the next station, R Pears’ is the purest and best soap ever made, you oung ladyto e D A Valuable Walnut Tree, A New York lumber dealer lately bought a black walnut tree in Harlan county, Kentueky, for $50, on which he expects to make a profit of $5,000, It is a curled grain walnut, between five and six feet in diameter at the base.

The department of agriculture is in receipt of reports from different parts of every state and tervitory concerning the production of wild and cultivated nuts, and will embody the information ina bulletin soon tobe issued by the pomolo- gical division. The extent and possi- bilities of nut cuiture are by no means gen 1y und ood. In central Cali- fornia almond orchards of fromtwo thou- sund to five thousand trees are not un- usual, and in the southern portion of the same state the Maderia nut, or English walnut, as it is more commoniy called, is cultivated in orchards of from one hundred to fifteen hundred trees. Froin most of the other states also, the Ma- derin is veported 10 be grown for nut production. On Staten island the same nut is marketed green and for eatsup.
