For the Cyolone Sufferers, Thie committee which was appointed by Mayor Lawrence to solicit subscriptions for the aid of the sufferers in the Pomeroy c) clone has been hard at work for the past two days making the rounds of the citizens. The terrible results of the cyclone had evi- dently touched the sympathies of everyone, for but very few declined to give such aid us was in their power. The report of the com- mittee to the mayor will be made this morn- ing, when it will be known _just how much the citizens of Coun- cil Bluffs gave to this worthy cause, but it {s thought that the amount will not be less than &%, with the probability of its exceeding thatamount. Mayor Lawrence deserves credit for his readiness in issuing his proclamation, and the committee, which sisted of J. N. Casady, V. Jennings, . A. Wickhum, F. 0. Glenson, Theodore Guittar, J. H. Pace, A. T. Flickinger and S, B, Wads' worth, deserves no less praise for its ener- c labors in behalf of the sufferers, None of the subscriptions were over £10, and by far the largest portion was in amounts of &1, which shows how general were the sym: pathy snd the fechings of generosity on the purt of the people of Council Blufls, There is nothing in this country like the fruit kept in Wheeler, Hereld & Co.’s cold stovage.

Nearly all were found to work prop- erly, and such as were defective were quickly put in good working order, s0 thut the ad- jacent premises are furnished adequate fire protection. The idea has beon suggested of making an order compelling certain property owners whero large interests are involved to put perforated pipes in their to insure good protection, TI thing is consilered especially ry in the implement houses on lower Main streot. Many of them are packed with the most in- flammable materinls, and if a fire should ever break out there the entire destruction of the establishment would bo almost inevi- table and the loss of life very probable, By means of perforated pipes jets of water could bo thrown into all parts of the building at once from the street, and the danger would be greatly lessened.

It was passed to meet decisions ol the courts, which, pursuing their usual custom of very strict constructions on that subject, nmflm-gclv neutralized the apparent intent of previous legisla- tion, as well as to meet the demand for larger freedom over their estates by married women, The act provides that a married woman may have the same right and power as an unmarried person to ac- quire, use, lease and dispose of property, but she may not mortgage or conve real estate unless her husband joins. She may also make any contract in writing or otherwise which is necessary, appropriate, convenient or advan- tageous to the exercise or enjoyment of her rights of property, but she may not become accommodation indorser, maker, guarantor or surety for another. She may sue and be sued civilly, but she may not sue her husband except for divorce or to protect or recover her separate property when deserted or re- sed support, and he may sue her for divoree or to protect or recover his prop- orty when deserted by her, but she shall not be arrested for her torts. In suits between husband and wife both shall be competent witnesses, but cannot testify to confidential communications unless by agreement. She may dispose by will of all her property, but the husband’s right as tenant by court aflected. The act of June 3, 1 and all other inconsistent acts are repealed by this act, which was approved June 8, 1803, —_— PADEREWSKI’'S BORROW. He Lost His Wife When He Was Young ana Poor, Paderewski was younger once—it goes without saying: moreover he was more handsome, but less interesting. He was gay and light-hearted, and full of ambi- tion. His wife, sho was young, too, and very womanly and very sweet to look at. She had blue eyes and brown hair, and a little dimple in the left cheek. She was devo! to her husband—full of aspirations for him. She expected to sec him a great man. He played to her always what he wrote, and she lay on the couch and listened and admired him. They lived in a plain, little room Paderewski was not great in those days, and they were very poor. Things got worse. All their plans miscarried: and the castles they ouilt fell so quickly and in such ruins! Did he hope for an engagement—behold, the manager died! Did he arrange to play at a concert—it was never given. Had he a private recital—a felon came on his hand. So it went on, and the wife—she was not less cheerful, but she remained on the couch for hours every day. She grew thin. She became a consumptive. 1t was the worst form, and you could see her change from day to day. +The doctor came and said: “Take her away from here. Go to France or Italy. Sheneeds change of air and scene.” The husband could not do it. *‘Then give her wine and good food.” He could hardly do that. He tried. Only he and shoe and very near friends knew now hard he tried. Fate was all against them and she died. What he now receives for one evening of his music might have prolonged her life for a year. S Two Old Soldiers, Judge: “I was in the war myself,” suid the stranger to a man with a Grand Army of the Republic cap on, after the parade was over on Decoration day. Ah! Shake.” The two shook hands. “Yes I was there through it all.” “Went all through the war, eh?” “Yos “So did 1.” ““Had great times, didn't we?” “T should say so. Youn killed lots of Johnny rebs, T suppose?” I don’t think T ever killed one.” “You went all through the war?" h¥as *‘In a score of battles, then?” “Yos.? “‘And don't know that you ever killed a reby” “‘Don’t think 1 ever did. pretty sure I didn't.” “How do you account for that?” “‘Well, maybe the fact that I was a rvebel myself had something to do with it.” Then they changed the subject, e Lo il WEATHER FOKRECASTS, He In fact, I'm Nebraska's People Are Promised n Varlety Weather for Today, WasHiNato, July 13.—Forecasts for Fri- day: For Nebraska—Light local showers, followed by clearing weather in northeast portion; fair in southwest portion; south winds: warmer in eastern portion.

Under the sky afar, Watching some distant star, Smoking o Koo cigar, Asking no_pard. Fanned by soft breezes fine, Listening to strains div Sipping life's rosy win On the roof garden. It must have been 4 very modern and very masculine versifier that lead pen- cilled these lines in a dashing, dovil- may-care hand across a Japanese fan which lay upon a table on one of the big roof garden theaters one night last week as we seated ourselves benecath a spreading palm tree and discreetly whispered an order to the Franco-Swiss waiter, who vanished into a grove of green like a genius disappearing in the air, There were three of us—an artist, a poet and a writer—but we all ordered steins of beer, says the New York Herald. O, Tempora! O, Mores! The lights flashed about us like a thou- sand stars amid the walls of shrubbery: the perfume of & jacque rose mingled with the evergreen odors, and a woman’s soft laugh sounded from a nearby table, where a girl with straw colored hair sat sipping a glass of wine and looking almost beautiful in the pink light which flickered from above, casting a tracery of foliage in a shadow across her face. It was a summer night's dream in w York. Far off in the distance, it seemed, was a stage, and upon it a serpentine dancer was undulating amid tluttering drapery. Under changing lights, now red, now green, now yellow, she flashed about like a gorgeous butterfly. Mandolins sound »d the music of a waltz in time to swerving movements, and her golden slippers twinkled about her head in rewildering succession The poet gazed dreamily at the stars, the artist looked at the dancer and the writer took notes. It was a new experi- ence for nim. The roof gardensiof New York during the summer season present a phase of modern life which is d v local and intensely American. ‘There siae by side sit the millionaire and the clerk, the opera queen and the avistoerat. In the theater the rvail of the private box sep- arates the prince and the commoner, but on the roof all are equnal. It approaches nearér to an anarchist idea of heaven than anything on the earth below or in the waters under the earth. “‘The roof garden theater.” said' the poet, “is the elevated stage. You can't get any higher than this without wings!' Life as presented ix stories in the air’ takes on-u different ‘aspect to ordinary existence on terra firma. It is unreal and far away from the everyday annoy- ances of life. Thereis a sort of stago glamor over everything, and in its in- fluence we forgive our enemies, forget our dyspepsia and the bills we owe wund f2el toward the entire human race like a man and a brother, “The roof garden,”said the poet, ‘“is one of the great moral levers of the age. It implants in the human breast that universal charity to all men that we are taught to believe is the foundation of religien. Have another with me.” We acquiesced silently, and the waiter glided off like Hamlet's father’s ghost with our three steins dangling between his finger and thumb. The tables near to us presented an in- teresting field for study. The girl with the straw-colored hair leaned her elbo upon the table and talked volubly, with many gestures of her bediamonded hands., The two men with whom she conversed werc stout and prosperous looking and seemed to vay little atten- tion to her words. Near them, under the shadow of a palm, sat a pale, girlish little woman, the leading ingenue at one of the fashionable theaters, and with her is a broad-shouldered English actor—the idol of the matinee girls of New York. Next to them, and forming part of the magic circle around us, are a party of men discussing a recent poker game, and touching elbows with us on the other side is & Wall street broker and his type- writer, a pretty girl with a Brooklyn- esque air, Some one is singing “After the Ball,” but no one seemed to heed it. Conve sational bits break in upon the melody at every turn. “You see it is this way,"” suid one of the poker men, “Ttwas a jack pot and it went round three times, then [ raised him ten and took three,” then the straw colored girl broke in, “I'll make her prove everything she said about me! The furniture of the flat was mine and I fuess I can take it where I please. Am right?” The broker's voice is low and ruffled cautiously, but his companion’s words are plain and are heard distinctly, “Well, I don't-want any one's wife raising a rumpus when I am'about,” she is saying, “‘and it Jhad any idea that she was coming to the office today I would baye—" “He simply can't writo plays a little Dit,” says, the English actor. **He thinks he cap phain critics to their seats on first night (during four acts of that rot, but they:won't have it. They make a break dfter thg first act and roast him in the pagler the next morn- ing.” - “It was a_jackpot, T tell you, and there was $350 ron: the table, Well, '{hulupsun got out,and we stayed alone. Then——" 3 1'd rather not gay any more about it” (from the hleuchflfi?‘rl). “I hope I am tog/ much of a lady to talk about a woman because she is so old and uglf that-no one will look twice at her, but if I hear any more of her talk I'll just"— I saw him off at the pier the day alter they closed, ‘God bless ye, me boy,’ he said with tears in his cyes as he shook my hand. ‘Take care of your- sell. Pl write from Queenstown.’” But he never said a word about that 300 he touched me for.” I may live in Brooklyn, but I'm not 80 unsophisticated as people think.” I know it's not right t0 go out with married men—and"—— “He won it, I tell you. He scooped the whole d—d boodle and eaid, ‘Da, da, boys, I'll see you tomorrow at the track,’ and we didn't oven have our car fare. Oh, it was cruel.” “Thirty! Yes, thirty in the shade for the last five years. DOn't tell wme any ghost story like that. I'll take seltzer.” Just then @ hush fell on the audience. LY BEEY FRIDAY, JULY 14, 1903, Glasses stopped clinking and every one bent forward to listen. “Hark!" says tho poot, ‘to the strains of representative American melody for which our farce-comic souls hufigor and thirst.” A long, lank vocalist bogins to sing in jog trot time and “Man in the Moon” tune: “Her brother came up to my rooms And stole all my souvenir SpOOns, In l'rwl i\ln!h r Hubbard she went to the cup« honrd To get her poor brother a bone from-my pocket. Hor season {t closes {n June, 1 hope she'll get work v m‘- woon, For ILnlI it no joke, with my clothes all In sonk. Twish T was the Man in the Moon Bursts of applause groet the singer bows to an encore. The poet wipes away a tear from his off eye and the artist shudders. The next performer is a man who comes upon the stage in an apologetic way and ns to talk in o rambling sort of fashion which seems to please the audience immensely. ‘T went down to a German wake the other night,” he says. “Now a German wake is very uncommon and I'll tell you why. When a German is dead he's dead. He's at rest and that's the end of him. But you've got to watch an Irish- man for three nights and sit on his grave for about a year before you can bo sure that he won't turn up again and make troubl And after this langh is stilled he continues:—"I'm not feeling very well at all tonight. I've been com- *!lufnfin;z for the last couple of days and called down tosee the doctor today. He didn't give me much hope. He said 1 had an ingrowing face and that it was chronic. In this wise we are entertained and the hour grows late, the merry plunk of a banjo succeeds the ancedotist and familiar darky songs sound in a lively n‘u-, sure. Some college boys begin to sing. Don’t you hear dem bells, Don't you hear dem bells, A Dey ave ringing out de glory of de M. Don’t you hear dem bells— But at this point they are promptly sat upon by a waiter. Now there is a flutter and a rush, and aclatter of voices and laughter. The theaters are out and both the audiences and the actors are being landed upon the root by the elevator full. The ‘‘well Kknown" people do not reach the sky gardens until 11 has sounded. Then the ‘‘nota- bilities™ arvive. There is_the man who jumped off the bridge and afterward developed into a full fledged sport, and then began to dally with philanthropy. He is talking to a bold, black-browed woman, who is attended by two broad brimmed dudes. She has just come from the stagoe of a near by music hall, where every night she sings sentimental songs in deep chest tones. There is a celeb criminal lawyer with a burlesque actress who has a couple of divorce suits onher mind just now, and who likes to see her name in the papers. Three men in evening dress enter together—a notable trio. The first, a popular little humorist, leaning on a cane, whose is us familiar and as welcome as his j His companions are the captain of a base ball nine and the son of gn ex-president. See the pale faced man who is seating himself with a thin, oldish looking woman in bluck. That is a champion middlewcight pugilist, and the woman with bim is his wife, a skirt dancer who has gained undying fame through her ability to kick backward. It is getting late now and the early comers are taking their departure, leayv- ing their chairs to their late arrivals. The Brooklyn girl and her broker have gone long “since, the pokerites have wended their ways, and the “‘fyshion- able” element, what there was of it, is entirely gone. These gay peovle, who talk so'gayly and greet one” another so effusively, are types of metropolitan life —Bohemiun New York, not the fash- ionable imitation as found in swag- ger studios and “literar loons, but the real article—the people who see and know and hear and feel all that life offers. Their faces are like maps, upon which one can read their different callings and vocations. The *'sceiety” cast of countenance is only represented here by the callow dude who always hovers around scenes like this to which he can gain access at the box office. Even the little chorus girl in her sailor hat, her mannish shirt waigt and her russet boots has begun to show her emotions in her face, and their no need for her to teil t she has secured ‘4 summer engagement in Chicago at a small but sure salary, for you can read it in her eye; Under the summer stars they sit until the hour of departure arrives ahd the lights ave quenched and the musiciuns scurry off with unseemly hast “There is a popular delusion,” says he poet, looking nervously at his wateh, speefally in the feminine mind, that the night was made to sleep.” What time more beantiful than the night to give fancy reign and travel to the stars? To meditate upon the comedy of life, to laugh at its delusions, to study its com- plexities and glory in its jovs? And what more fitting place thin here be: neath thesky, whore musie,laughter and song and the light of woman’s eyes carry us far from prosaic New York toa world of languorous airs and odors, lit with blossoming stavs and six stories above the earth! Oh!a check? I had for, ten that. What's that? Two forty-fi That seems high, but take it, take'it all. We must be off!

A Town In Germany Entirely Wiped Out by an Artestan Well, A curious fate has overtaken the little town of Schneidemuhl, in the Duchy of Posen. The people of Schneidemuhl had & town pump which had supplied them with water for many Jour Dur- ing the cholera epidemic lust summer the water fell under suspicion, which analysis seemed to confirm. It was thercfore determined 1o go deeper and the pipes of an artesian well were put down.” Ata depth of forty-four meters an underground reservoir was tapped and the water, pressed on by the superincumbent soil, rushed up with great force. When the artesian pipe was stopped the water forced its way up outside the pipes, bringing up with it quantities of sand. All the efforts since made to stop the flow have been uscless, and as the water rises the earth sinks. The ob- vious inference seems to be that so long as there was no escape for it the water formed an incompressible stratum on which the upper earth rested in safety. Every hydra.lic press illustrates the enormous force water will bear and will convey when no outlet is provided for it; but let there be a vent and it yields to a touch. So with the hidden water stratum under the - Posen town. It bore up the weight of fifty-four meters of solid earth so long as there was no outlet, but the artesian l’lilm let it loose and it rushed out from ts confinement, and the soil it had borne above it necessarily sank down. There is nothing remarkable, nothing altogether unexpected. It has been often pointed out that there is a danger $o Whioh artesian walis may expose us, Alarm has sometimes been expressed at s gem and the possible, though not probable, re- sult of tapping to any large extent the | wator-boaring strata under London. The caso of Schnoidemuhl {s porhaps the first in which this dangor, which has always been theorotically recognized, has beon roalized toa very serious ex- tent. - ENGLISH ARMY TO USE CORDITE. It 18 More Powerful Than Miack Powder And 1s Smokele The smokeless powdor which has boon adopted by the British government for use with the naw Lnglish army rifle ie known as cordite. Cordite derives its name from its structurey the powder being made up in strings or cords of varying thickness, from about 300ths of an inch to hall an inch in diameter. The thick cordite is cut inlengths of fourteen inches. The cordito wsed in field guns is cut in strips measuring eleven inches in length. The small-arm ammunition is made up of sixty strands to a load. According to Colonel F. W, Burke of the British artillory, the new cordite is a_combination of nitro-cellulose and nitro-glycerine. The combination is 37 per cent guncotton, 58 per cent nitro- glycerine and & per cent vaseline, to which is added a proportion of acotone distiiled from wood. The mixture takes on a stringy form, In a magazino rifle a charge of soventy grains of black gunpowder gives a ve- loeity of 1,830 feet a second, while thirty grains of cordite gives the same bullet n velocity of 2,000 feet. To obtain a locity of 1,710 feet a second in a field gun requires @ black powder chargoe of four pounds. The same velocity is ob- tainable from one pound and a half ounce of cordite. Cordite, it is stated, has succes: withstood all climatic tests impc the ‘mw\lur works at Waltham, England. Cordite samples have been exposed in an open case inun open pouch to rain, snow, and the sun, and retained their force unimpaired. e Abreast of the Times, Detroit Tribune: The doctor placed his feet upon the operating table and laughed discordantly. He was not a handsome man, but de- cidedly intevesting in appearance, which 1s the best that can be said of people who are not_handsome.

It is not strange that some people do wrong through ignorance, others from a failure to investigate us 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 upon them. Iigh-toned, wealthy manufreturing firms will offer and sell to retail mer- chants, articles which they know to be infringements on the rights of proprie- tors, and imitations of well known goods. We sant to sound a noto of warning to the retailers to beware of such imita- tions nud simulations of “CARTER’S L1 TLE LIVER PILLS.” When they are of- fered 1o you, refuse them; you do not want to do wrong, and you don’t want to lay yourself linble to a lawsuit.
