E dences of tho good it had done were visible on every hand yesterday. The paved streets for the most part were s clean as a floor, an amount of work being done that could not, or at least would not, have peen done by the street supervisor's gang and the cha gang in a whole summer. Large heaps of debris were piled up neatly in low places along the streets, and it will be a comparatively small job for the chain pang to gather up the heaps and cart them out of the way. Ever since spring showed signs of comiog on Indian creck has been an eyesore and 4 nose sore to the peo- ple living all along its banks and for a block or so on either side. Everyone had been in the habit of dumping refuse into the stream, and as there was not sufficient current to carry the stuff off tke result was a condition of things which wovld have made an angel weep. Saturday night the water in the creek raised at loast six fect, as was shown by the marks along tho banks yest Six hours of bombarding by the water too much to be resisted, and yesterda, the first time in many months Indian creek took on the apvearance of a modest, self- respecting stream. The condition in which the stream was before was such as to cause many to begin ain to think of somo way of keeping In- dian creck from being the nuisance it has always shown itself since Council Bluffs came along to disturb its tranquility. The plan of building a brick aqueduct for it h been talked of in the past, but has never been adopted on account of tho expense, As long as the creek is left open, it will be the catch-basin for all sorts of discase breeding refuse, and it is evident that sooner or later the present way of dealing with it will have to be wbandoned, expense or no expense. The cedar block paving at the corner of Willow avenue and Fourth street was torn up Saturday night for a space of about ten or fifteen feet squ nd the blocks wero deposited in the adjucent streets by the flood. The paving at the junction of Willow avenuo and Bluff street was not torn_loose, but the ground underneath was so moistened and softened t portions of the paving sunk below the s1x or cight inches, ren- dering the strect so uneven as to be lutely dangerous, The entire inters will undoubtedly have to be repaved at the expeuse of the city.

He is first assistant dog-catcher, and although his dutics are supposed to bo mainly in con- nection with the canine portion of the city's population, ho hus magnified his ofiice by acquiring & reputation for taking a good many other things that do not happen to be nailed down.

He jumped up, and, as the horse did not seem to have any’ fricnds at hand, jumped on his back and was going to take & ride. But Middleton's massive eyo had been at work afd he lostno time in making young Pinney get off and turn the horse over to his dog-catchership. The horse was landed in the pound, whither he was soon followed by the owner. The pound master refused to give the horse up at the request of the owner, who claimed to have simply left the animal stauding on the streot unhitched for an instant.

He was a mild young fellow, and, as his sweetheart imagined, without much force of character, as he kept putting off the “‘ask papa” day indefinite So the young woman prompted him to be sure he was right and go ahead. “You see, papa has a great deal of bluff and bluster, but when you come right down to it he is perfectly safe. Only you must show him that you have Teta ol pluck—real grit, that's what he likes.” “AlL right; suppose you ask him to step in now. I may as well get my hand in, if that is the way it works.” “But, dearest, he is awful big and strong, you know.” “‘Oh, if it comes to personal violence, I will defend myself with the furniture. Trot him in,"” “*And you won't let him bluff you?” ‘‘Not a bluft! “Then I'll tell him you want to sce him.” There were two chances of escape for the young man, says the Detroit Pre Press, one by way of the door, the other by the window, but hedid not avail him- self of either. When the father strode into the room with his best knock-down- and-drag-out air, the youth rose indif- ferently to meet him. “Well, well, what's all this about? I understand you want to see me. Well, look at me now, and be quick about it,” growled the pater, SH'm.

Mud shoes for horses are common in certain parts of Washington state, being used on horses in plowing the low and wet lands of the valley north of Sumner nearly every spring. The mud shoe sts of a heavy board about eight es wide and from eight to ten inches long, rounding in front. On this board a redhot shoe of the size worn on the horse's foot for which it is intended is placed until it burns into it to a depth almost sufficient to bury itself. It is necessary that the shoe have a long toe and long corks!” A piece of circular band iron to fit over the top part of the hoof is then attached to the board and over the hoof to hold the mud shoe sol- idly to the foot. 'One end of the band is fastened to the board with a screw, which when tightened holds the board as squarely to the bottom of the hoof as if it had grown thére. The horses be- come accustomed 40 wearing them, and after a day or swo experience no diffi- culty in working in them. Iy this means farmers are énabled to plow land in the spring where without the of the mud shoes horses would mire down* —_—— DEFYING A SUPERSTITION. Members of New York's Thirteen Clab Dine Well und Live Long. The Thirteen club was organized on January 13, 1882, with thirteen original members, says the New York Sun. They have dined together regularly ever since at thirteen minutes after 8 on the 13th day of the month with thirteenata table, Of the original membo only four have died, two of them within the past year. This is a record for longevity which the members of few dining clubs can show. The total membership at the close of the year was 1,144, and the total number of deaths twelve, Of these twelve six, or just half, had never at- tended a dinner, and 8o had not violated the thirteen superstition. This, too, makes it seem that the members of the club who attended the dinners and sat thirteen at a table on the 13th day of the month have better prospects for long life than the members who stay away from the dinners. In order to strengthen its defiance of the thirteen superstition the Thirteen club has increased its number of officers until it now has thirteen. It would also try to dine on the 13th of the month and on Friday, but the 13th and a Friday do not always coincide. It has done the best 1t could, though, by fixing the initiation fee at $1.13 and the dues at 13 cents a month. George Francis Train, one of the most active members of the Thirteen club, and its unofficial poet, is also opposed to the Friday superstition. The Thirteen clubare with him here, for their his- torian has compiled a record of the events that have happened on Fridays, including a great deal of old Anglo- Saxon lore. The first of the facts about Friday in American history is that Co- lumbus sailed from Palos on a Friday; he aiscovered America on a Friday, and ho arrived back in Spain on another Fri- day. George Francis Train has boiled down a number of these Iriday happen- ings in this paragraph: “Washington born, Queen Victoria married, Napoleon Bonaparte born, bat- tle Bunker Hill fought, America dis- covered, Mayflower landed, Joan of Are burned at stake, battle Waterloo fought, Bastile destroyed, Declaration of Inde- pendence signed, battle Marengo fought, Julius Cmesar assassinated, Moscow burned, Shakespeare born, King Charles 1. beheaded, battle Now Orleans fought, Lincoln assassinated.” Mr. Theodore W. Davis, the historian of the club, writes that in Constantino- ple and in Spain Tuesday was considered an unlucky day. A Spanish rhyme trans- lated rea On Tuesday neither wed, shap, nor leave thy wif There is an old _English superstition that Adam and Eve ate the forbidden fruit in the Garden of Eden on Friday; hence the day has been unlucky ever since. In IFrance it was thought unlucky to cut your nails on Friday, but in Hol- land there was a superstition that cut- ting the nails on Friday would cure a toothache. In England” hardly 2 per cent of the marriages are celebrated on a Friday. The Chicago records show that 43 per cent of the Chi- cago weddings are on Friday. In Scot- land there is the contrary superstition about weddings that Iriday is the best day to be married on. In Glasgow nine- tenths of the marriages are celchrated on [riday and none on Sunday, while very few take place on Saturday and Monday It shows how confident the members of the Thirteen club are of long life, that at the one hundredth dinner of the Thirteen club last January two centen- nial Thirteens, one headed by Hon. John H. V. Arnold and the other by Dr. George W. Boskowitz, sealed and stored thirtcen bottles of wine, which are to be opened and drank at the two hun- dredth dinnev of the Thirteen club, which it is figured out will take place in about thirteen years. S SO MISSOURI'S RICH BOTTOM. nor go aboard Millions of Dollars and Much Whisky Lost J an River Wrecks. There are millions of dollars in the bottom of the Missouri, or somewhere near it, but the trouble is to find it. Some of it may be found some time, but that some time is very apt to be when present generations have passed away and the wrecks and contents of the steamboats exist only in tradition. Bx- ploving companics have been formed in the past, a number of them, but they have all been without reward, none of them ever having found even a trace of the prizes sought, says the Globe-Demo- cr Other companies are now talked of, and a number of St. Louisans stand ready to gamble a stake with any one who takes the lead in organizing. The whisky buried in the sand and bars, if it is ever recovered, will pro- auce a period of the ravest intoxication to the tablespoonful, There could be no better process of curing it than by bury- ing itin the damp sand of the river bed or bars. Then, too, the whisky of those days was real whisky, and had age and body at the time it was lost, and if it was on sale now it would have a market all its own, and it wouldn't be at 20 cents or 25 cents a drink, either. The chances would be, rather, that it would go into private cellars to be handed out only on rare occasion® Tho oldest wreck of which there is now any knowledge, and it is as ncarly traditional as anything could be, is of a Spanish boat that was sunk at the mouth of the river Des Peres in South St. Louis, The year inwhich it went down, the character of the boat, the nature of the cargo, all is tradition, But it is suid among the oldest of the old river men that a boat did go down there *‘in the early years” and that it was laden with rich Spanish goods and arms and gold of immense value, The exact spot at whicnh she sank is not known. “In the early years,” also, it is said that efforts wore made to locate the wreck, but without succ It is also said, by the way, that the Spanish vessel had on board a goodly stock of liquors. Tke oldest wreck of which theré is any record or knowledge, with people now living, is thut of a government steamboat which sank away back in the early 's at Arrow Rock Island, near Booneville, It was on its way up the river to pay off the soldiers, and had on board & large amount of gold and a considerable quantity of whisky. When it went down it was to stay. Efforts were made at the time to recover a por- tion of the cargo, hut the condition of che river was such that this was impos- sible. It has been a fascinating hidden treasure for the people of Booneville, Highest of all in Leavening Power.—Latest \). S, Gov’t Report, Roal Baking Powder ABSOLUTELY PURE and dozens of companies have boon organized to soarch for it. So far as known, however, none of them has ever suceeeded in getting any traco of it. The Arabia is ®ill anothor steamship which went down and was brokon up, with a considerable amount of go!d and several hundred barrels of whisky on board. The Arabia went down in 1854 below Parkville. She was a fine side- wheel boat and her loss was a consider- able one. Efforts were mado to save her cargo, but it was practically a complote loss. There have been a number of searching parties who were filled with the m.mw\wminu and digging up the treasure, but, so far as known, they have never had any trace of it. As in the caso of the government boat, there is a story that some of the plunder was recovered, but in this caso it was of the whisky instead of the gold. The place where the Arabia went down is now solid ground, grown over with tim- ber and grass, some of the timber being two and threg feet through. That is, this is the condition of the place pointed out as the Arabia's grave, though ther no such thing as a chart to show it conclusively csscsifiinacsies World's Falr Hotel Accommodations, Write for rates at the new Rossmore hotel, Chicago, and receive beautiful map of World's fair buildings. Address Hauk & Lee, proprietors, D Saved by fis W Youth's Companion: Although it is a familiar saying that an Irishman is always spoiling for a fight, still there .is one kind of fighting to which even the brave sons of Erin are sometimes averso —that is dueling. A story well illus- trating this fact has recently come to us. A _certain Irishman, having been challenged to fight a_duel, accepted the conditions after much persuasion on the rt of his friends, who felt confident of success. His antagonist, a lame man, walked on crutches. When the placo for the shooting had been reached, the lame man's sceonds asked that he be allowed to lean again: a milestone which happened to be there. The privilege was allowed and the lamo man took his stand. The Irishman and his seconds drew off to the distance agreed upon—100 feet. Here Pat’s courage suddenly failed him and he shouted to the lame man: “I've a small favor to ask of ye, “What is it?” asked the cripple. Pat answered, 1 tould ye thot ye might lean agin the mile post and now would like the privilege of leaning agin the nixt one.” The laughter which followed spoiled everybody’s desire for a fight and the whole party went homeo without a shot having been fired vy LGt i) Gosslp That 13 Protitable.

It is not strange that some peoplo do wrong through ignorance, others from a failure to investigate as to the right or wrong of a matter. But it is strange, that individuals and firms, who are fully aware of the rights of others, will per- sist in perpetrating frauds upen them. High-toned, wealthy manufrcturing firms will offer and sell to retail mer- chants, articles which they know to be infringomonts on the rights of proprie- tors, and imitations of well known goods.
