F. Hendricks and A, C. Graham re turned yesterday noon from Des Moines, where they wont to attond a mesting of tho boards of superyisors of the various counties of the swte. Thirty-four counties were represented by atout 100 delegates, and an interesting meeting was held, The main item under consideration, so far as Pottawattamie county 1s concerned, was (hat of the tax levy for county purposes. As before stated, by n peculiarity of the law s it now stauds on the statute books, Pot- tawattamie connty is the only ofin the stato except Kossuth which is linited to 4 mills on the dollar for county and boor pur- poses, all the rest being limited to ¢ mills, This peculinrvity was not noticed until this year, ulthough tho present law has been in force for the last four years. T'he amountin the county nnd poor funds is nccordingly reduced this year from $05,000 to 255,000 and the county financer @ cripplea seriously., This matter was brought bofore the con- vention and & resolution adepted favoring the passage of a bill repealiug thoe present lawiand allowing all the counties in the state 1o levy taxes on the 6.will basia. The action was concurred in by the delegat: The represeutatives from Pottawattnmie county while at Des Moines had a bill drafted and presented to tho fogisiature, it being introduced on Friday, and referred to the senito committes on ways and means with reasonable assurance of its bein passed. ‘The bill provides the desired relief by placing atl counties on un equality in the matter, ‘The bridge tax question also received a preat deal of atteution. The samo legisla- turo that passed the gueer rule under which county taxes are now leviod also passed a law providing that cities of the tirst class might levy their own bridge xes. The consequence is that Sioux City, and in fact ulmost evory targe city in tho e, has ne glected to ‘levy auy bridge taxes whatever, and has allowed the whole expense of build wg aud maintaining bridzes to bo vnid by the county at large. The amount of tax lev ied in this way on L'ottawatiamie county outside of Council Bluffs is §1,2i0.54. The Board of Supervisors of Woodbury count, in which Sioux City is located, was the fi to call u halt on this way of doing, and tho whale board and county attorney were pres- ent at the meeting to entera decided protest. A resolution favoriigihe repeal of toe clause allowing eities of tho first cluss to levy their own taxes was adopted. A bill embodying the substance of this resolution was the Woodbury conuty delezates stay: gineer it througn the legisiature.

Both of the pro- posed offices are in Keg Creck townsh One 15 to be located ut Frastus Campbelt store, located a little west of the cen- ter of the township. It is to be christened Keg Creek postoftice. The other oftice asked for for is at Perkins farm near the northeast corner of Keg Creek township. Quite a little town has already sprung up there, there being a good general store, a meat market, a public hall, and a drug store. The little village is asort of a baby boomer and is very ambitious. It is vearning now for two accessions—a doctor and @ postofice. It s in a fair way to secure the ter and probably the former. This smart little town has the unique name of High Iive. It was thus christened when “the corners’ was the meeting piace for those who delighted in passing a social bour with neighbors and frieuds, nnd the favorite gavie was innocontly ullowed to fasten its nawe onto the place itself. Now that the growth of the settle- meut is approaching the diguity of a village, the people, who are a very intelligent and thrifty class, feur that there may avise a mis- apprebension in_ the public mind as to the character of the inhabitants and reputation of their village. They ave, therefore, anxious to have the name changed from High Five to one of move dignity and fitness, In their ition tor a postofice they request that Uncle Sam christen it ‘eynor, in hounor of Council Bluffs’ efMicient{postmaster, — We have our own vineyards in Califor nja.

Stilwell, a duiryman living near the deaf and dumb institute, had an experience last Friday witha tramp whose gall, if it had been developed in the right direction, would put him into a paying field of business as o lightning vod man, Mr. Stilwell and his wife left home during the afteracon to come o the city. As Mr. Stilweil alighted from the buggy to open the gate the horse began to *act somewhat frisky, and a rather seedy looking individual who was plodding along the road came forward and took the fractious aulmal by the bits. He at ouce calmed down, and they proceeded on their way. When they returned in the evening they found that some one had taken a hammer and broken in 8 back window, after which ne had gone through the house, looking everything over and taking what sdited bis fancy. Lying on the center table in tne parlor was tho over- coat that had been worn by the accommodat- ing tramp when he saved Mrs, Stilwell's life. Mr. Stilwell's brand new overcout wus gone, 50 that the prece of bric-u-brac that adorned the parlor was not to be considered as gift. A suit of clothes was also missing, although nothing had been left to take 1ts place. The tramp was traced for some dis- tance toward Council Bluffs, but was fnally lost track of. —— Lost—Gentleman’s watch charm in shupe of horse shoe, set with dinmonds and rubies.

Tele. 145, et et GLEAMED IN THE NORTHERN Beautiful and are Visible In Many Cnicaao, 1L, Feb, 13.—A gorgeous illumin- ation of the heavens was visible tonight at cities over a thousand miles appart. It was the most wonderful exhibition of the aurora, or northern lights, possibly ever seen from American soil. Dispatches to the Associated Press show that the phenomenon stretched over a vast belt of territory from Iowa to tho Atlantic coast. The maguificent spec- taclo wus scientifically observed at the uni- versity of Michigan in Ann Avbor. Astron- omical Directoc W. J. Hussey of that insti- tution wires the result to the Associated Press as follows: Tae brilliant rose-red aurora visible to- night was not altogether unexpected, In a goneral way auroras have been predicted for about this time, Touight's display nat- urally follows the appearance of tho great sun spot which has been visible during the past week, Other aurora displays may be expeeted in the near future.’ Other aispatches to the Associated Press show that the phenomenon Was witnessed at New York, Louisville, Cincinnati, Claveland, Columbus, Toledo, Detroit, Irdiananolis and at 1liinois aud lowa points, but not at St. Louis, Kansas City or Memphis, At Cincinnati it was at tirst supposed that the city of Hamilton, twenty-five miles dis- tant, was on fire. The Associated Press cor- respondent at Lyens, (a., seuds a typical de- seription as follows: “F'rom east Lo west the northern sky here was lluminated by an immense half circle, flaming upward nearly to the zemth, Atfirst almost blood red, it dimmed at times to deli- cate pink and would brighten suddenly. The i as suot with rays of almost white all pointing outward frem the civcle, an at G:10 p. m. and for an_hour was a gorgeous sight. At 7 o'clock it bogan disap- peating. The weather had been very warm throughout the day, but after the aurora rap- 1dly grew cold.” Though not seen at St. Paul or Minneapo- Iis, the aurora was plainiy witnessed in it waukee. The peculiar disturbauce known to telegraphers as an electric storm bampered operators working wires stretch- ing north from the city, but did not wauteri- ally affect the lines going east and west. CreveLAND, O., Feb. 13. —One of the most beautiful aurora borealis displays ever witnessed here occurred b.tween ¢ and 8 o'clock. The entire northern sky was aflame, the color being a rose-tinted crimson, with arches above the horizon aad lines running to the zenith. The sky was perfoctly cloar at the time. The phenomenon attracted people from their houses, many supposing at frst that the illumination was caused by fire.

In the three movements of this inspired gem, the allegro, adagio and allegretto moderato, the tempo was perfect, and tho ciimaxes and phrasing, together with the colossal majesty displayed, showed the extensive cuitivation of a fin- ished style. The sudden transition from a° strong fortissimo to the most delicate piaaissimo demonstrated & powerful touch accompanied by one of feathery lightness, The ‘‘Presto” (Op. 7) of Mendelssohn was a piece of extreme diffi- culty, inasmuch as it required a light fan- tastic touch combined with great rapidity. Tausig’s “Valse Caprice” brought into full vlay the technical abinty of the planist. Chopin’s Bercguse was patheticaily rendered, and his Vaise in A Flat (Op. 4 wus received onthusiastically. Miss Aus der Onhe seemed to be particularly at her caso in the three etudes of Chopini ono of these was remarkable for the distinctness of the theme, oagoinst a brilliant obligato accompaniment. In rosponso to au encore of tie Chopin selections, Miss Aus der One gave a beautiful renaition of h waltz in 1 at. In the Tarantelle di Bravura (Liszt) she seemed to call to her aia all the soul, execu- tion and passion of her nature and she, as well as the audience, seomed to be carried away beyond the things of earth; being warmly applauded and recalled, the gifted artiste gracefully acknowledyed the compli- ment to her talent, by playing in character- tic style Wagner's “Spiuneniied” from the “Flyiag Dutchman, Miss Aus dgr Oho leaves todey for Colo rado Springs fo uppear 1 concert and thence sue goes to New York.

One of the Swiss railivays has at present about 120 of its cars lighted by electricity. The lamps are provided with a current from a storaga battery placed in each of the cars. To telegravh without wires, to get light without heat, to make solid walls in_effect transnarent—such are some of the strance possiuilities after whicl students of electric- ity may now strive with fair hopes of suc- ce Evidence of the Interest in electrical trac tion is found In the fact that one of tha lead- ing olectrical companies installed sixty-three new railways in the United States last year and now has on hand unfilled orders for 500 street railway motors, Tt is said that asyndicate of Swiss and English capitalists has been formed to utihize a part of the falls of the Rnine at Lauffen- burg for the generation of electric cnorey.

McDounell, day chief operator in the Western Union ofice in Tacoma, Wash., has developed and applied for patents on the sextuple system of telegraphy. upon which Edison claims to have spant £3),000 in ox- poriment, but which he failed to make work. It is difficuit for other than students of electricity to comprebena the intricacics of the sextuple, but all can understand what Mr. McDonnell claims for his instrument. It will add to any ordinary telegraph wire two phantom wires, at a very slight expense, say 20, which is the average cost per set of Morse instruments, whilo the battery re quired will cost less than one-twentieth of the first cost of that required o work other systems of multiplex telography. — -— POINTS ON PROGR.
