Goldstein had no desire 0 win renown in the fistic aveus, and be refused. Conway finally said he would do the fighting for two,” ana suiting the action to the word, began 1o raiu blows of arious weights about Goldstein's head and shouiders, finally driving him iutohis saloon for safety. L. Brown, Goldstein’s fatherin- law, flew to the rescue aud he wus wiven a narcotic of the same kind.

Jurvis’ wild olackborry is the best NEWS FROM COUNCIL BLUFFS Even th Towa Prohibition'sts Were Satis- fied Yesterday, EVERYTHING WAS COVERED WITH WATER | Broadway Sewers Were Clogged Early and the Avenue Became n Raging Tor- rent—Damage from Indian Creek Was Not Lar The rain storm of vesterday afternoon was oneof the hardest that has been known in this city for years, but owing to circum- stances the damago done was lcss than on Previous occasions when the rainfall was no ereater. For an hour, lasting from 2 o'clock until 8, there was a stoady down pour, and when at last the sun broke out through a rift in the clouds it looked down upon a water supply that was adequate to the demands of even a prohibition city. Every streot was trausformea iuto a r ing river, which varied in depth from thres inches to a foot. | Broadway was umpassable for uearly half an hour after the rain had ceased, from the fact that it caught the water from the glens and the severs becoming clogged up rendered it impossible for it to be carried off by the usunl route, Tndian creek rose almost to a level to its banks throughout nearly its entire length, so far as could bo seen in the city, but the fact that the Northwestern bridges on Twelfth street nad been raised in the last few months prevented an overflow such as took place last spring and covered the entire bottom. Had thoe bridges been as they were formerly, lower Broadway must have been submereed aud the dumage would bave bepn much greater. As it was, a few cellars wore filled o0 lower Broadway, as well as 1 other parts of the city, aud pavements were torn aw: Some idea of the amouut of water that rushed down the strects may be wained from the fact that bricks were carried down 1o Broadway from the brick- vavds on upper Harrison street, fully three-quarters of a mile away, and soine tele- phoue poles that had bacn left Iving at the upper end of Oaklund avenue for the pur- pose of making repairs along the line floated down the avenue as easily as they would down the creck. Harrison strect was left in very bad shape by the flood, and it is doubtful whether travel can be had oo tho street for a number of days. The electricity played a number of pranks during the storm. Oficer Kemp and James Nichols were standing in the doorway of a building on Upper Broadway when one of the sharpest flushes of lightuing happened along. They each sustained u severe shock, and it was several minutes before either of them kuew just what had hoppened. The samr flash struck tue telephone wire leading into the Neumayr hotel and caused conster- nation in the plice. Other telephones in the city were served in tho same, and innumer. able wires were broken or crossed by the wind. It wili be several days before the sys tem can be put back into its former good shape. e 1 have had to give up my business for days atatime on account of severe headachcs.

The statement has been mado many times that those who want to see n good_theatrical performance must go to Omaha, but when Modjeska was advertised to mppear a great many who have becu going to Omana lately decided to patronize tho home theater, and the result was a well filled house, All during the ovening the gailery gods woro rather noisy, indulzing in conversation that could be heard all over the house, aud smoking cigarottes, whose fragrauce ‘was walted down into the parquet, but during the lastact their behavior was such as 1o cause a numbver ot people to leave tho bouse. Mme. Modeska berself finally came to the front of the stage and stood with her eyes fixed on the gallery for a fuill minute. This bint caused a cessation for a short time, when the noisc went on with redoubled energy until the close of the play.

SMALL CAPITAL AND RICH RETURNS M. ¥ tions on G ry €. Stoart's Toter Life mala’s Beautitul Women A Century Behind t ting Observa Republics— Only © Thmes. in Southern A young man not yet in his thirties, but & young man of wealth and distinction, is Heory C. Stuart of San Salvadore, Central America. He is now in Omaba and is the guest of Dr. S. D. Mercer, He arrived 1n this city Saturday from New York City, coming hy way of the Isthmus of Panama. 1n the cleeant and hospitable home of Dr. Mercer Mr. Stuart was calicd upon last might by a representative of Tus Bree. Heisa tall, erect man of magnificent physique and has o manly and digaitica carriage. His huir is black and ho wears n luxuriant mus- tache of a corresponding color. Heo also pos sesses a pair of sharp, piercing black eyes. As an entertainer he is exceedingly clever, and 1s apparently at bome with everybody. With that cordiality for which gentlemen of southern climes ara famous, Mr Stuart cour- teously receives you with a warm grasp of the hand, that at once puts you on frienaly aud hospitabie terms with him, By birth Mr. Stuart is not a soatherner, but he was born in a sunny, genial clime— California, This, together with bis twelve years life in Central America, has given him the experience of a southerner. Mr. Stuart _talks of Guatemala’s magnifi- cont and exuberant climate, of the beautiful and lovely women, of the rich aad profitable coffee estates, of the wealth of ureat sugar plantations, of the super-abundanco of trop- 1cal fruits, of the genteelness and bospitality of the peopie, 1n elowing terms. South American War Scares, “The telegrapbic reports received and published in America from the southern re- publics are very much exagerated,” said Mr. Stuart in alluding to Cuil's re- cent troubles with the United States aud the difficulties at present being had in Caracas, Venezaela. In speaking of President Palacio's tyranny in casting into prison the senators and deputies oi his republic, Mr. Stuart said that although there might bé an uprising against his tyranoical reign, his mettods of conducting uffairs was an unpleasantry often indulged in by the ofticials in power. Generally it had not gone so far as Presiaent Palacio had carried it recently, but since Mr. Stuarts departure from the south he knows nothing about the present troudle in Venezuela than what he reads in the daily newspapers, “So far as 1 am concerned myself," con- tinued Mr. Stuart, “1 would not want to go to Chili within thenext ten or fifteen vears, uniess 1 possessed English papers. At tho same time iy sympathies are with the Chil ians, For what reason? Why,on accountof the tariff over which the whole trouble arose, 'As to San Salvadoro I am, of course, more familiar with politics and government affairs. Notwithstandmg the presidential clection _everything there is quiet. Reina Barios, nephaw of the late President Barios of Gautemals, has been elected president of the republic, as you well kuow perhaps, and was to have taken possession of the offico March 15, As 1 left theve before thatdate I Lave not as yet been informed whether he has taken his seat or not. Young Barios was educated in the United States and married an American woman. 1 believe she 1s un Alabana lay. “I have been iu the real estate busincss 1n Guatemala and have made some big deals for Denver people. Iam now on my way to that city. Aside fromthat I bave interested myself ‘10’ some mines in Salvadore. They are fr e milling, gold quartz and a low grage ore. 'The veius are 1,000 feet in width aca I am vow ecugaged in running a tunnel in one of the mines. 1f the ore proves good there will be mulli init. Two mining en- gineers from the United States say the prop- erty is a freak of nature. There is only one other cre mine in the district and itis owned by two Enghsh gentlemen. Thus far th bave expended only £0,0000n thew mine, and its estimated value at present is 3,000, 000. They refuseda cash offer of §500,000. Kich Mining Interests, “All Central America is much richer in wealth of mineral und agricultural lands than 1s the United States. It is attracting year by year more and more American peo ble. Before I left in March 1 heard of a party of twenty-three young Americaus reaching Nicaragua, and they intend to start a coffec estate. Coffee estutes are worth §1 a tree und some estates haveas many as a million trees. This industry is wondertully profit- able, aud when a man once gets started he is uot many years in accumulating an im- mense fortune. Sugar plantations are aiso very profitable. Centrsl America is a great place for young Awmericans with smail capital togoto. Ithas the finest climate in the world. No climate compares with it. At Gautemala the temperature is v cn. In the highlands it never goes over 122, and on the coast it seldom reaches 50=. The rains come witn o great deal of regularity. For instance, 1t begins raining av 2 o'clock in the afternoon, it will continue until 5, then stop, give you time to go to dinner and visit the theater, commence agaiu at 11 o'clock and rain all night, stopping long enough the next morning for You 10 go Lo your ofiice. **Cocoa (chocolate) trees arealsoa very profituble industry, but 1t requires seven vears time for trees 1o bear thewr first crop. For this reason very few people engage 1n this business, as 1L requires considerable capital ana 1t 1s 100 long to wait befere any revenue is derived. I is the highest priced crop there is, There aré pumberless opportunities for farmers iu hog raising, dairics, produce and market supplies of all kinds, to make mouey. When I left Gautemuls butter was & a pound and eggs G cents apiece, Hog and poultry raising is the most profitable, The cattle busincss is also zood. The soll for tobacco is excellent and much of it is raisca, but the people dou't kuow how to cure it as ' weil as they do iu cither Cuba or Mexico. The forests and groves abound in all kinds of tropical fruit which grow wild and can be gathered at the cost of gathering it from trees. Little Lubor Required, ““The country yields its product without much labor, but now, don’t all you Americans waie & rush for ivat once, Business is good and profits are enormous.
