Yesterday and Saturday were the two greatest days that Lake Manawa has ever known, both in point of the number of visitors and the pleasure of all who spont even afew hours at the cool and breezy vesort. Saturday the number of visitors reached the 12,000 notch, and yesterday there were but fow less. The motor trains ‘were unable to carry all the muititude, slthough each trmin had five coaches. Hundreds of carriazes and other vehicles belped to make up the deficiency. At Manhattan beach Saturday night and after- noon there were over 600 bathers, and there would bave been many more if there had been more bathing suits and bath houses. The great crowd yosterday was excep- tionally well behaved and was orderly as a Chnutauqua gathering. There were many attractions besides the lake itself and scores of private picnics and fraternal organization gatherings. The royal Japanese show and the two bears playing on the lawn delighted the old and young. Captain J. T. Anderson has been in charge of the big steamer Max Moyer and vesterday distinguished himself by breaking the record of big londs, makine five trips that averaged 20) passengers each, The little propeller, the Liberty, also broke the record for quick time, muking the mile run across the lake in five and a half minutes with thirty-six passengers.

BLUFFS Thoughtless Boys Almost Wrack a Rook Island Mail Train, OBSTRUCTIONS PILED ON THE TRACK Long Series of Maliclous Assaults on Prop- erty Calminates the Plan “to Seo the Engine Make the Stuft Fly" Some Council Bluffs bovs have madea practice of dolng small jobs of lawlessness of late in the country just east of town, and no- less something is done by their parents the chances are that they will get into scrious trouble. They have been breaking down grape vines and apple trees, throwing stones through windows and committing other depredations of a more or less serious nature. Nearly all the windows In Green's packing house have been broken by them. Saturday afternoon four boys of thils kind were loafing about Greendale, on the Rock 1sland and Milwaukoe roads, und they con- ceived the idea of piling a lot of rubbish on the track for tho fun of seeing what would happen when the train struck it. It was no sooner said than done, and a big pile of fence rails, timbers and such other obstructions as happeved to be at hand soon adorned tho track. The boys then retired to a secluded spot to await developments, They came, A gang of section hands were out looking over the track and they huppened to come across the rubbish rne just a few minutes in advance of the ma'l and express train, which was due at the local depot at 4 o'clock. They at once went to work to remove the timbers, and got the work done just as tho train went whizzing by. In the meantime the boys had discoverea that their fun was knocked in the bead. and they undertookl to sneak out ana run for home. But one of the section men happened to see them and started im pursuit, The chuse was for avout two miles, and when it ended the boy was prisoner. He was brought back to Council Bluffs on a hand-car. He gave his name as Georgo Carson and said he was a son of Judge Carson of this city. He also satd one of his companions was a son of J. Swanson, who keeps a music store. After tho youngster had been glven a lec- ture and a good scare he was allowed to ae- part in peace on condition that ne would never try any such dangerous pranks again. Tho members of the gang are ail from 15 to 17 years of age and ought to know better. The farmers of the community, so Elihu Mayers suys, have determioea to put a stop to the reckless deeds of the boys, and unless the doting parents look to their knitting their sous may be laid up for repairs. SEVERAL WILLING TO SERVE. Thomus Bowman's Official Shoes Will Not Boggring. The democratic congressioral convention s nearly & month in the future, but already the candidates are beginning to build their fences. A number of promising boomlets have been started, and the prospects are that the democrats will have no trouble in finding some one who is willing to wear Congress- mau Bowmnian’s gaiters providing enough re- publicans can be duaced to vote for him to insure his election. Lucius Wells is one of the most promi- nently mentioned candiaates and his actions on the school board recently with reference to public expenditurcs are pointed to with a good deal of satisfaction by his friends who are holding up bis lightning rod. Jobn Schoentgen is also mentioned, although he hus not stated, so far as knowu, whether he will accept the nomination even if itsbould be tendered him on a tray. B. Wadsworth has been prominent in Jocal democratic circles for a long time past, and when his name is spoken of in connec- tion with congressionul honors some of his admivers are almost always near to shout, “Amen.” Judge McGee is also mentioned, but it is a noticeable fact that most of those who do the mentioning are republicuns, he having apparently read himself cut of the demo- cratic ranks by sccepting an ofice from a citizons party. Whether the crop of candidates will prove to be equally good in the rural districts as in Council Bluffs is yet to be seen, but the sup- position is that the outside democrats will not hide their lights under a bushel basket for the benefit of any oné who lives in the city. It is stated that there is u strong feel- ing throughout the district that the best move that can be made by the democrats is to nominate a popular man from Council Bluffs, in the hope thatin this way enough votes may be drawn from the republican candidate to secure an election. dopperiiged FIELD’S STORY OF THE LOST CABLE" How the Cable Lost at Sea was Recovered in Midocean. At a dinner given to Mr. I'ield by the New York Chamber of Commerce on November 15, 1866, he told about the re- covery of the cable which waslost in the ocean’s bed, in these word “*After landing the cable safely at Newfoundland, we had another vask—to return to midocean and recover that lost in vhe expedition of lust ye This achievement hus, perhaps, excited more surprise than the other. It was the triumph of the highest nautical and en- gineering skill. We had four ships, and on board of them some of the best seamen in England—men who knew the ocean us u huntpr knows every trail in the forcst. There was = Captain Moriarty, who was in the Agamemnoa in 1857-8, “He was in the Great Eastern last year und saw the cable when it broke; and he and Captain Anderson at once took their observations so exact that they could go right to the spot. After finding it, they marked the line of the cable by & row of buoys, for fogs would come down, and shut out sun and stars, 80 that po man could take an observa- tion. These buoys were anchored a few miles apart. They were numbered, and each had a flagstaff on it, so that it cou!d be seen by day, and a lantern by night. Thus having taken our bearings, we stood off three or four miles, so us to :come broadside on; and then, casung over the grapnel, drifted slowly down upon it, dragging the bottom of the ocean as we went. At first it was a lit tle awkward to fish in such deep water, but our men got used to it, and soon could cast u grapnel almost a5 straight us an old whalor throws a harpoon. **Our fishing line was of a formidable iz It was made of rope, twisted with wire of steel, 50 as to bear a strain of thirty tons. It took about two hours for the grapnel to reach bottom, but we could tell when it struck. 1 often went to the bow and sat on the rove, and could feel by the quiver that the grap- nel wus dragging on the bottom two miles under us. But it was very slow business. We had storms and calms and fogs and squalls, “Sull we worked on dav after day. Once, on the 17th day of August, we got the cable up, und had it in full sight for five minutes—a long, slimy monster, fresh from the ooze of the ocean’s bod— but our men began o cheer so wildly that it seemed to be frghtened, and suddenly broke uway and went down into thesea, *This accident kept usat work two weeks longer; but finally, on the last night of August, ws caught it. We had cust the grapnel thirty times. It was a little belore miduight on KFriday night that we hooked the cable, and it wus a little aftor midnight Sunduy morning when we got it on board, Whut was tho anxiety of those twenty-six hours! The strain on every maa's life was like the strain on the cable itself. When finully it skmrud it was midnight; the lights of the lhlglml in the boats around our bowe, as they fashed in the faces of the men, showed them eagerly watching for the cable to nlmenr on the water, “‘At length it was brought to the sur- face. All who were allowed to approach crowded forward to see it. Yet nota word was spoken, only the volces of the officers in command were heard giving orders. All felt as if lifoand death hung on the issue. It was only when it was brought over the bow and on the deck that men dared to breathe. Even then they hardly believea their eyes. Some crept toward it to feel of it, to be sure it was there. Then we carried it along to the electrician’s room, to see if our long sought treasure was alive or dead. “*A few minutes of susperse,and a flash told of the lightning curcent again set free. Then did the feeling long pent up burst forth, Some turned away their heads and wept, others broke into cheers, and the cry ran from man man, and was heard down in the e rooms, deck below deck, and from boats on the water, and the other ships, while rockets lighted up the darkness of the sea. “Then with thankful hearts we turned our face agaln to the west. But soon the wind rose und for thirty-six hours we were exposed to ull the dangors of a storm on the Atlantic. Yet, inthe very height and fury of the gale s I sat 1n the electrician’s room a flash of light cume up from the deep, which, haviug crossed to Ireland, came back to me in midocean, telling that those so dear to me, whom I had left on the baunks of the Hudson, were weil and following us with their wishes and their prayers. *This was like n whisper of God from the sea bidding me keep Leart and hope. The Great Bastern bore herself proudly through the storm as if she knew that the vital cord which was to join the two hemisphores hung at her stern, and 80 on Suturday the 7th of eptember we brought our second cable safely to the shore.’” Afterwards in spoaking of his greatest work Mr Field said: “It has been a long, hard struggle, nearly thirteen years of anxious watch- ing and ceaseless toil, Often my heart has been ready to sink. Many times when wandering in the forests of New- foundland, in the palting rains or on the decks of ships, on dark nights—alone, far from home—I have almost accused myself of madness and folly to sacritico the peace of my family and ail the hopes of my life for what might prove alter all but a dream. “T have seen my companiors, one and another, falling by my side, and I feared that I, too, might not live to see the end. And yet one hope has led me on, and T have prayed VRt Te Eip BYy o tasie of death till this work was accom- plished. That prayer is answered, and now, beyond all acknowledgments to men is the feeling of gratitude to Al- mighty God.” —_—— Mrs. L. R.

Cable Ono day a few months ago Mr. Blaine, then secrotary of state, appeared bofore & com- mittes of the hovse of represeatatives and made an argument against the granting of & concession to a F'rench submarine cable com- pany to lund any of its cables on the shores of the United States, The pramises on which Mr. Blaine based his erguments were that the Brazilian government had promised to grant to the Fronch company the exclusive right to control all the cable businoss be- tveen Brazil and the United States, and that by the establishmoent of this monovoly the Mexican, Central and South American Cable company—an American corporation dosirous of running lines to Brazil—would be denied a participation in the business. The Societe Francaise des Telegraphes Sousmarins, as the French Cable company is oMcially designated, already owns several lines in and about the West Inaies, says tho New York Times, and, in order to bring into its control the Brazilian circuit, has, within the last few months, effected a landing at the port of Vezen in Brazil, at tho mouth of the Anazon river, wheace the land lines of the country strétch to Para ana to the south- ward, touching at all the principat towns and cities of the republic, as far down as Monte- video in the republic of Uruguay. ‘T'he run of the submarine cables so far laid down by the Societe F'rancaise is as follow: From Vezen to Cayenne, thence to Para- maraibo, both Guiana ports, thenco to Mar- tinique and Guadeloupe, French West India islauds, thence to Porto Plata on the north- ern shore of San Domingo. From Porto Plata a land line crosses tho country to the town of San Domingo, where the cable is again met leading direct to Curacao, and thence to L Guayra, the main seaport of Venezuela, whence interior places are reached by land lines, ~ Returning to Porto Plata, it is found that the French cable goes by sea to St. Nicholas Mole, on the coast of Hayti, and thence to the capital of the Black Republic, Port au Prince. In addition to this short line to Port uu Prince, the French cavle extends across the bottom of the Windward Passage from St. Nicholas Mole and comes to land at Santiago de Cuba, the present termiuus of the French system in Amerlcau waters. The importance of these lines of cable com- munioation to the world at large will be bet- ter appreciated when it is known that all the places montloned aboye owe thelr electrical connection—Guadeloupe and Martinique ex- cepted—to the submarine cables laid down by the Societs Krancawse; for no other catle company in these waters runs lines to the same places. It therofore follows that the French company myst. recsive a certain amount of patronage. For example, to reach Hayti or Venezuela, a message must come overlana in the United States to Peint Rassa, in Florida, wnere the Western Union cable will take 1t to Havana by way ot Key West. Thence 1t will cross Cuba to Cienfuegos, where the Cuban Submarine Telegraph com- pany will dispateh 1t to Santiago, from which pluce the French company will transmit it to its destinution, There is another important cable system traversing the waters of the West Indies aud connecting the United States with South Awerica. This line, the property of ths West Indiz and Panama Telegraph company ofgEngland, has ite~headquarters at Kings- ton, Jamaica, whenco the, .cablos radiate as follos One line to Santiago de Cuba and thenca as before stated to the United States, ana so to Europe. Another line runs from Kingston to the Virgin island, St. Thomas, and then down through every one of the Windward group to Trinidad, the 3 Kingston direct to Colon on the Isthmus of Panama, thence the way lies across the land to Panama,where the lines of the west coast of North ana South America are met, thus bringing into communication all the many places along the west coast af fur south as Valparaiso. And even as Valparaiso the conuinuity cannot be sald to be broken, for there 15 a land line stretching from Santiago ing Chil across the Auder and the pampas fo Argentine 1nto the city of Buenos Ayres, where u short cable is met that leads to Montevideo and thence to the principal places along the east coast of Brazil. The cablo lines aown the west' coast of Central and South America are not the property of the Pupama and West Indies compavy. So much of the wires as run from Panama to Calldo belong to the Central and South Americun Telegraph company. From Callao in Peru down to Valparaiso in Chil there are two lines: one, known as thy West Coast of South A:verica Telegraph ccmpany, is an Enghsh corporation, and the other 1s'a new extension laid last year, be- longing to the Central and South American Telegraph company. The former cowpany operates a way. cable only, whereas tH¥ latier company makes but a single stop between Callao and Valparaiso, at Iguique.. Thus the Central and South Americau company owns a complote cable- way from Panawa to Valparaiso. At the minus at the southern end of the line con- ction is made witn the transandean lana line, und so the eust coast, as above told, is brought into tho circuit. But the wires of the Central and South American Cable com- pany do Lot terminate at Pauama on the uorth, Instend, they run up the west coast of Gentral America, making calls at the more importunt ports until Sulinas Cruz is reached on the coast of Mexico. inas Cruz this Western American ¥ crosses southern Mexico by land wires tothe port of Coatzucoaicos, on the shoros of the Gulf of Mexico. T'lere a sub- marine cable is again laid, Whbich leads to Gaiveston in Texas. This section of tne long line of olectrical cable system is operated under the auspices of the Mexican Teiograph company, ‘I'hatis tosay, the Mexican und the Central ana South American Telegraph companies are one und the same organiza- tion, and their hesdquarters are in New York, so thut the system belongs to the peoble of the Unlted States, Now, the American company 1s desirous of handling the South,-American cast coast business, and s0 lony,#s the French company is kept out of the U States it can do this, It probably wauld ve able to bold its own cven were the bjsench wires brought to lund on our shores, urovided that the Bra- zillun and other Su‘\(m Americun nations made no invidious disérimination against the company; but with th#’ French enjoying.a monopoly, the farré#hing efforts of the Uuited States corporation, which has already negotiated for the owagxship of the trans- andoun liue, would fall, Brazil, 1t mignt be'fofeéresting in this con- nection to kuow, is in irect communication with Europe by medbs’ of a doudlo cable system belonwing to mf,llruzfl an Submariug Telegraph company. ond6bn.

This route fre- quently resorted to, for, until very rocently, the only other route was by wav of Lhe traus- dean wire to the wi coust lines, iLere are ten cables laid coross the north Adduntic ocean serving as comnectiug links between the new aod the old world. T'wo of the cables start from Brest, Fravce, six from 1n and wbout Dingle bay ou the west const of Ireluud, and two from Land's Eud, Eogland. On tuis side of the water four of the cables come to land at Trinity bay, Newfoundiand, two at St. Pierre, islaod of Miguelon, and fourin Nova Scotia. From these maio ter- minals short lengths of suomarine cables strelch out s0 #s 1o reach Lwo or three ports in the United States. The vames of Lhe corporations operating these transatlantio lucs are the Auglo- JULY 25, 1892. American Telegraph company, the original organization which, under the skillfal and determinod leadership of Cyras W. Field, laid, after many mishaps, the pioneer cable connecting thetwo worlds; the Direct United States Cavle company, the Compagnie Francaise du Tolegraphe de Paris & New York, the Western Union company, and the Commorcial Cable company. From KEurope a great Eoglish company carries on tho string of wires through tho Meditercanean sea, across the Suez isthmus, down the RRed sea, and across the Indian ocoan to Bombay. This loug line, with many bifurcations enroute, is under the con trol of the Eastern Telegraph company of Eugland: Some of the branca lives of this system run down the east coast of Africa and then back to the starting place in Eng- lund. Another line makes a cord binding 1nto one circuit-all the coast places of the vast Indiun empire, Then, under the namo of the Eastern Ixtension company, the cables cross over from Caleutta to the Malay peninsula and come to land in Australis, where the shore wires cacry messagos all over that vast continent. Finally, the sume company has a double liae of cabie stretched between Sidney and New Zjaland, There are still other submarine cables bo- longing to the Bastern compauy searcely less important to the commercial world than those to Australia and Iudia. They are the lines extending along the bottom of the China ana Japan sons and serve to bring into electrical connection all the places of the orient, This system runs fr Singa- pore and does not stop until the Chineso aud Japanese cities are touched, Thence Viadi- vostock is reached over cables bslonging to the Great Northern company. This remote Russian post is also brought 1nto touch with the west by means of a lorg overland wire that crosses Siberia and terminates at St Petersburg, The main airections of the principal cable tines of the world have only been briefly indi- cated, as a glunce at tho cible chart will at onoe show. ' It is observable, too, \n locking at the chart that the only body of water that not crossed by a caolois the Pacific ocean. ‘I'nere cun be no doubt us to the neeu of a lino bringifg Japan and the Sandwich islands into quick commuuication with the United States, and such a cavle would be sure to succeed, for the busiuess that now has to go over the castarn lines by tho route indicated—that is, via India and the Maditer- ranean—would find quicker and more aceu- rate dispatch could it come direct to the United States aud then cross over to Great Britain, ¥ Tho laying of cables is exponsive. The probable cost cannot be far from $1,000 & mile; this includes the making and the laying of the cables. Present expoerience gives from ihirty to forty yeurs as the probablo length of life of a'modern submarine cablo, but much depends ou the mode of preparing the outer strands of wire protection, espe- cially the galvanizing. Then, tao, the nature of the bottom of the sea, the rocks, ote., come into the question. There aro instances where a cablo has lasted only ten years. It 18 found that there are in round numbers 135,000 miles of cables, all told. Of this length Great Britain owns nearly 91,000 miles, of which the Enghsh government owns only 7,500 miles. In the list of owner- ship of cablo lines France comes second with 20,000 miles, of which 5000 belong to the government. The United States stands third, our three companies controlling something over 10,000 miles of submerged telograph wires. Germany's only cables are govern- ment owned, and are less than 8,000 miles ong. It 13 the same with ltaly, but her ength of line is about half that of Germany. The only other country opersting lines is Devmark, where a singlo private company works over 6,80) miles of wire. To lay cables requires a s pecially equipped steamer, and, as submorged wires are con- stantly suffering damage from some unavoid- able cause, it is necessary to have always reaay for servico one of theso cablo sbips. The telegrapbic floet is composed of no less than thirty-sight steamers, aggregating more than 60,000 tons. Twenty-six of these vessels are the propsrty of the private lines of England. The government lines control only two. The French lines are looked after by four ships, two of which are private propsrty. There are no cable ships belonging to the United States. In case of damage, it is customary to hire an tnglish vessel. The old ship Great Eastern used to be the most celobrated of cable ships. Since her demise the English steamer Silverton,of 6,000 tons. is probably the best known. There is also a French cable ship of the same tonnage. Cables are difficult to manufacture, requir- ing considerable complicated machinery. In general terms a cable conslsts of an inner core of copper wires surrounded by & mix- ture of soft rubber and jute fiver. This 1n turn is usually covered by four layers of pre- pared gutta percha, Then comes a winding in hemp or jute, weil coated with & tarry preparation, and finally the whole is guarded agaiust injury irom the rough shocks of careless handling and uneven ocean beds and rocks, etc., by an-outer layer of soft steel or 1ron strands. There are tv/o large cable factories in the world—one the Construction and Mainten- ance company of England and the othor the Freuch company at Calais, This last com- pany is a part of the Telegraphes Sousmarius company, tuut has boon making 60 caruest an effort to secure a landing on Amorlcan shores, PO sl DeWitv's Sarsapariiia 15 rolianle. SUSPENDED IN MID-AIR. A Novel Care Discovered for the Deliriug of Fever, At Charenton, near Paris, Mme. Labat was suffering from a violent at- tack of malarial fever. In the night ehe took advantage of the momentary ab- sence of her nuvse, and, in a fit of de- livium, jumped outof the window of her room:, located in the fourth story. Hap- pily her gown was cawght by the hooks of in iron gallery, and she remained hanging in mid-air. The cool night aic rapidly reduced her fever, and, becom- ing conacious of her dangerous position, she sot up fearful screams, which soon collected a crowd in the street. An _employe of the Lyons raitrond named Varennes, offered to rescue the woman if there was some one to lower him from the roof of the house. A five- man offered to hold him. A long rope was procured and tied securely around the waist of Varennes. The fireman standing on the top ridge of the roof slowly lowered the rope until Varennes, swinging down in front of the house, could reach Mme. Labat. With his left hand he seized hold of the iron galicry nd then took firm hold of the woman. But her weight was s0 at that his left hand slipped from the railing and they both were suddenly suspended in mid-air, The suddennes of the pull, for which he was not prepared, nearly’ threw the fireman off his feet,a calamity which he succeeded in averting by clinging to a stout chimney stalk rising above the roof. He had a firm hold of the rope, but was unable to pull up the load so us to enable Varennes to reach the window, So, steadying himself against the chim- ney, he let the rope glide down very slowly until Varennes and his precious load could set foot on the grouud. There wus o ringing hurreah from the anxious crowd when they weve uble to lay hands on the womun and Varennes and help them to firm ground. The fever of Mme. Labat was entirely cured by her dungerous passuge th.ough the night air. e - When you go to Danver swop at the Ameri- can bhouse. Itates $2.00 Lo $3.50. Remodeled througbout.
