NEWS FROM COUNCIL BLUFFS Return of Madame Pollard to Push Her Libel Buit Against the World-Herald, TWENTY THOUSAND DOLLARS ~ ASKED That Sum W Fel edws Balm for Her Wounded Becaase of the Publioation of an [tem Reflecting on Her Charact Madame Nathalie Pollard has returned to Council Bluffs, This statement will be read with a groat deal of interest by the many peoplo who became acquainted with her in 8 WAy & year or two ago through the <coup- 1ing of hor name with that of & young man namned A. Z Bowen, who traveled with her as business manager. Mrs. Pollard has been engaged in her business of lecturing ever leaving Council Bluffs and her success ting her name bofore the public and keoping it thero has been hardly less marked than while she was in thatcity. She achieved a national roputation by having introduced into ~ congress o bill providing for abolishing ~ all ~ divorces in _ the District of Columbia, The member of con- firess who introduood it would not father it, ut disclaimed any interest in its passage. ‘When it passes congress and the senate and becomes a law its success will bo owing 1o the untiring efforts of Mrs. Pollard an her powers of fascinating the men who stand at the wheel of the national government. Mrs. Poilard states that her bill is bound to become n law, and, as an Indication that others.think as she does, she pownts to an overwhelming crop of divorce suits insti- tuted in the District of Columbia since her bill was introducod, the men with anti- matrimonial instincts evidently thinking it a wise plan to lay in a good supply of divorces in view of the impending famine. Inhorited » Vast Sum of Money. Since leaving Council Bluffs Mrs. Pollard has fallen heir to an almost fabulo! mount of money through the sad death of a brother. Herobject in returning uow is to look after the welfareof a 20,000 damage suit which she commenced in the United States court in the Bluffs about o yearugo against the World Publishing company of Omaha, by reason of certain damaging statements that 1\;; ared in one of the issues of the World-Herald. Sho says she engaged when the suit . was started have been neglecting their business and she has come back to admin- ister a dose of forked stick to them, and arouso their interest by showing them that she still has money. When she leaves Monday she will go directly to Chicago, where she has accepted an invitation to de- liver a specch on the subject, ““Foot Free in God's Country,” on the 19th, before one of tho sessions of the woman's congress.

Omaha Sewer Is Emptying Its Fllth Into ‘Water Used for Drinking Purposos, A matter has just como to light which de- serves the immedinte attention ot the city council of Council Bluffs, A new sewer has recently been built in Omaha, intended to drain o large portion of the northern part of thecity. The district 1v covers is 4,940 acres in size, according to the plans drawn by City , Engineer Rosewater of Omaha, and the main outlet is at Florence, a few miles north of the city. This throws the filth from the entire district into the river at a point above the place where Council Bluffs gets her sup- ply of drinking wat This state of affuirs is one that should not be allowed to exist a day longer than is nec- essary. The attention~of City Physician Macrac has been called to the matter and he intends to give it his immediate attention. He states that from what he has heard he thinks the outlet of the Omaha sew: 0 far above the sourco of the water supply that no danger need be apprehended. The sewer is not used as yet to any great extent, but as North Omaha builds up it will go on \pouring out a constantly increasing amount 'of filth into the strcam and pollute the water until it becomes a breeding place for discase, By requiring the water works company to move its pumping station above Florence this trouble can be done away with, It is probable that some action wiil be tuken us soon as the city physician has time in which to make a report. There is nothing in this country like the fruit kept in Wheeler, Hereld & Co.’s cold storage. No matter what the weathor is it reaches the customer in erfect condition.

The rocession started from the vil- age of Magetta. When the people along the route see the six stormproof, one-story houses moving along on wheels they will guess the scheme is one of Kansas or Oklahoma design. On the running gear of six farm wagons have been constructed light box shanties, each provided with sleeping and living apartments. The light boards which cover the houses are waterproof, and the contrivance looks like a very low one-story Kansas duflut. Inside five of tho wagons are beds, chairs, tables, provisions, and every conven- ience for travel. The sixth wagon is the dining car, and in the rear end is a asoline stove for cooking purposes, ‘armer John Stiteon, who tfnnuzurnwd this plan, said: “‘There are twenty in our party—four familles, It was the cheapest way to take the women and children along, and aside from the matter of seeing the fair we will have lots of fun along the road. ‘We have a quartet of fine singers and a nnmber of musical instruments, and we propose to stop nights and hold alliance revivals, Uncle Billy Sunders can talk populist doctrines and he will lecture on the late war in Kansas, 80 you see we Ppropose to spread the gospel along the route through Missouri and Tillinois oing and give Iowa and Nebraska a ittle touch of Kansas calamity on the vm[t back."” The trip as outlined will take in many small towns, it being the intention to koep away from the large cities.

The amendment was defeated by 100 majority. During the debate ou article i of Section 2 of the bill, Count Herbert Bismarck made a speoch that aroused geweral interest. He declared that he was satisfled with the bill though ho was opposed to the two years ser- vice system because the socialists, through the short term of service, might corrupt the army. There would not be time in two years to expel the socialist, poison from theso re- cruits. The third yesf of service would serve as a reformatory sohool. Jhls remark caused a great uproar. When order was restored, Herr von Kardoff of the Reichspurtel appealed to the house not to allow such a scandalous violation of the right of debate. unt Herbert, proceeding, explained that he voted for the bill because vhe government had not fixed two years as the permancnt term of service, Chancellor von Caprivi followed Count Herbert. Count Herpert fret}uunuy inter- rupted the chancellor, who at last appealed to Herr von Levetzow. The latter called Count Herbert to order. The chancellor then proceeded, and at the conclusion of his remarks Herr Bebel, one of the leaders of the social democrats, said that in listening to Count Herbert Bismarck the house had heard the father speaking through his son. The great father ~ had 'been unablo to kil social democracy, and still less was the son able do “'so. With regard to socialism permeating the army in the two years system. he could assure the government the permeation had already been effocted, and, in tones of triumph, he concluded: “We exist. You will not be able to get rid of us except by killing us," Herr Bebel's remarks decided sensation. Later, in the _discussion of article if, Cornt Herbert Bismark planted himselt before the chuncellar in reference to article i of the bill. This gaverise to another uproar. Herr Von, Levetzow reminded’Count, Her- bert that the article on which he wishea to comment had been passed by the house. Count Herbert returned to his seat amid a storm of howls from the social democrats and Richterist members. Toward the close of the discussion Bis- marck apologized to Count von Caprivi for his interruption, The chancellor bowed his acceptance of tho apology. caused a most PARISIAN BLACKMAILERS, e They Bleed M. Bulox Out of Large Sums of Mduey. Parts, July 14.=A great sensation was caused in literary circles today by the expose of a gang of blackmailers, who, for a long time bled M. Charles Buloz, editor of the Review des Deux ‘Morides, of an immense sum of movey, said by some to the amount of 16,250,000 francs. The blackmailers are said to be men of ‘the best Parisian families, who moved and stfll mdve in good society. These men had for’their sccomplices dis- solute women wha had carried on liasions with M. Buloz. These, women imparted to the men all the sécrefs of their relations with M. Buloz and sti¢h other matters con- cerning him as ¢Amé % them. Then the blackmailers wotld “write to M. Buloz threatening to exji0sé ‘hum to his family and acquaintances if hé'dfd not pay to them cer- tain sums of money;, " " i M. Buloz, it' appears, was fearful lost knowledge of his wrongdoing should come to the ears of his wife, and he paid the money demanded of him. ~Some time ago M. Buloz wok & vacation. He' left the city and has not since been seen. . It is feared by somo that part of the money he paid out belonged to the Revue des Deux Mondes. During the firat part of his absence he wrote frequently to his paper and to his wife, but no ono knows where he now is. The discovery that he had been blackmailed was due to the fact that a note made by M. Buloz fora large sum of money fell into the hunds of Mume. Buloz, who at once started an inyesti- gation that resulted in an expose of the whole scheme, Mme. Buloz, who was married to M. Buloz in 1878, i3 the daughtor of Prof. Richel, a member of the Academy of Science. She has entered an application for a divorce. It is reported that among the women implicated in the affair are three who contributed arti- cles to the Revue des Deux Mondes. The shareholders of the puper will hold a meot- 1wg tomarrow. Mme. Buloz will probably be made editor of the periodical. The exposure’ of M. Buloz's derelictions has been a great shock to his friends, who always believed that his character was above suspicion. Further developments are awaited with much interest. IT WAS A MISTAKE. Attack by the French on the Siamese Con- trary to Orders. Loxpos, July 14.—A special from Bangkok, Siam, says twenty Siamese were killed and fourteen wounded yesterday during an ex- change of shots betwcen the forts at the mouth of the Meinam river and French gun- boats. In the House of Commons today Mr, Glad- stone stated that the foreign office had re- ceived news of the ascent of the Meinam river by a French fleet, but it had not heard of active hostilities between the French and Siamese. The prime minister added that he relied upon the assuranceson the matter given to Great Britain by the French goy- ernment being kept. Mr. Gladstone's state- ment_was greoted with cries of “Hear, hear.” BANGKOK, July 14.—The French minister has informed the Slamese government that the commanders of the gunboats Comete and Constante misunderstood the situation when they fired upon the Paknam forts and ascended the Meinam river. Their instruc- tions contemplated no such action. The anxiety which prevailed throughout the city yesterday and last night has been partiall; alloyed by tho arrival of anothor Britis gunboat. The anppuncement. was made to- night that an armistige has been concluded ahd the incident might possibly be explained by France as regretable.

The cruiser Republica which was vrdered to protect that port, has reached the bar outside the harbor, and it is belleved that Wandelkolk's ship, the Jupiter, and the gunboat Camocen, which joined him, are hemmed in where it will be dificult for them o escape. Owing to the fact that the government is making such unusual efforts to repress the news it is difficult to get the exact situation. It is known, however, that General Salgado and General Saraiva with 8,000 revolutionists are expected to reach Rio Grande do Sul tonight, and will Join the small force of insurgents which ar- rived back of thecity a few days ago. Gen- erals Salgado and Saraiva were expected to arrive at Rio Grande do Sul about the same time Admiral Wandelkolk reached the har- bor with the Jupliter, ana the appearance of Lroops gave rise to the impression that their troops were all massed for battle. May Yot Relleve Wandelkolk, Swollen streams, however, delayed the arrivalof the main body, but when theso com- manders reach there they may be able to capture the town and relieve Admiral Wandelkolk of his embarrassment by giving shelter to him and his force on land, should ho decide he can not fight the cruiser Republica: The situation all over the state of Rio Grande do Sul is giving the authorities in Brazil a good deal of trouble. President Peixotto has ordered the warship Bolivia and two gunboats to Salto. This move was probably caused by the reports thut Uruguay is alding the reyolutionists. Castilhistas Deserting. From Rivera the Herald's correspondent telegraphs that wavy of Castilhistas are deserting and joining the revolutionists, but the fighting around Santa Anna has re- sulted unfavorably to the rebels. General Tavares is again throatening Boge with a very largely increased army of revolutionists.

Long before mankind ever heard of this little carth and started its conquest from sea monsters, says the Twcoma Ledger, the area that now s dis- tinguished by the name of Palouse coun= try had been subjected to violent up- heavals and radical changes In topography. A great inland sea rested here for many centuries aud tlre chemi~ cal action of the water enriched the soil simultaneously with leveling the sedi- ment in the form of a vast plain, In- ternal oconvulsions, whether from yolcanic aoction or from shrink- ago of the planet oonsequent upcn the cooling process then going on—perhaps botn combined—raised the submerged plain high and dry, with » steep decline to the westward. The rushing flood cut the land into ridges and ravines, high bluffs and lonely rocks being scattered promiscuously in living evidence of the rovolution, The surface thus presents s broken and picturesque scenme. Chief among tho wonderful products of theso prohistoric convulsions and deluges is a canon over in the northwestern part of. ‘Whitmaun county containing Rock lake, a sheet of water twelve miles long b about 100 rods wide, bordered h{ cliffs ascending perpendicularly to heights of 1,700 to 2,500 foet. The canon of Rock lake runs east to west. It isa deep hole in a plateau of solid rock and the bottom never has been sounded by man. The ecastward extremity falls abruptly from the bed of a smail creek, down and down 500 feet, over a cascade, down another plunge of 600 feet, and off finally over a second ocascade 300 feet to the bottom. Above the land rolls away insmall heaps of stone and barren slopes for flve miles on either side. Down at the botton is a valley, one by three miles in extent, and covered with the prottiest coat of tropi- cal foliage to be found anywhere. The climate in this declivity is as tropical and delightful as that which gives Hawaiian envied fame all the world over. The temperature seldom falls below 60= Fahrenheit and rarely goos above 90=. The cold of winter is seemingly unable to reach the level of the valley, owing to the internal warmth naturally be- longing to a hole 80 deep. The heat of summer is tempered by the cooling in- fluences of the lake adjoining, The west end of this little garden of Eden jumps abruptly over & precipice 100 feot into Rock lake and the western end of the lake, twelve miles farther on, finds an outlet through a narrow passageway between hills sloping sharply and soon breaking into dismembered pyramids of basalt rock. The surface of Rocl®lake is not much above sea level and the unfathomable deptheof the water, clear as crystal, con nected with weird surroundings affords a theme for philuun‘;hic meditation not surpassed by the sublime ruggedness of the Alps.
