Bushnell relates an amusing inci- dent of Lis eastern trip, which will serve as a text foe some good home trade sermons. In Philadelphin he was attracted by a di: pluy of “collarless nightshirts,” whicl emed so sensible a novelty, and one which he bad not found in Chicago, or New York even, that ho invested in a pair. On_ his re- turn his first thought was to show them to as a novelty just captured in ‘0 his surprise he found. in one of ig show windows i better display of Beno & C the east. collarles caught b nightshirts” than that whioh eyen the far east, and his pride 100k & still further tumble when ho learned that Beno & Co. had been selling them for overa year. Itis evident that when ono wants 1o find the newest and tho best in the dry goods or clothing line there is no need of going to Philadelphia or New York so long ay such an establishment as John Beno & Co.’s is Jocated n Bluffs, One of the most remarkable halloon trips, both in distance traversed and altitude at- tained, was mude at Manawa last evening at 8 o'clock. The big balloon was inflated at Manbattan beach, and when the seronaut, a ned Bernails, cut loose he was carvied up to an immense forty- daring young fellow na height, until the seventy-foot balloon foot parachuto and six-foot wan made a c bination that looked to be ouly u few iach long. The wiad carried the balloon directly over the lake, and it had gone over about half the distance when the parachute was cut loose. The drop was so great that the big umbrells completed the journey and dropped the man in the park north of the hotel. He shot down through the top of oue of the troes and got a serious fall from there to the ground, bruising him considerably. The drop created intemse excitement in the orowd about the hotel. 1t was first thought ho would fall on the hotel and be badly hurt, but he avoided it by the skillful manipula- tion of his frail airship. There will be a double ascension there today, one at 4 o'clock und the other at 7:80. Notice to Plenie Pariie Change in time, commencing Monday, Aug. 7.

However little success other people have had in similar ventures they were not disheartened, but put in the entireafternoon industriously got- ting on motor cars, prosouting 8 cents and then allowing the conductors to fire them off the train on the other side. Yesterday the * motive displayed itself through a ittle $10,000 suit that was instituted in the district court in the name ol the city of Council Bluffs, “The vetition, which makes a_bundle about the size and shape of a loaf of bread, alleges that the Omaha & Council Bluffs Bridge company is operating undera charter granted 10 it by the city in 1886, and that an ordi- nance passed by the city council August 2, 1803, limited the fare to be charged to 8 cents. * Then follows a detailea description of tho day's work above referred to of Messrs.

Mrs. Cline caught thecow and locked it up in her barn. Paulson went to get it, but Mrs. Cline puiled a long gun on him and after convincing him that it was loaded, offered in terms that could not be mistaken not only to turn her front lawn into a burying ground for Mr. Paulson’s ex- clusive benefit, but also to improvise a corpse with which to dedicate it. Mr. Paulson thought he detected a covert threat in Mrs. Cline's conversation and he lost no time in getting off the premises and allowing Mrs. Cline to hold the fort and the cow.

Mitchell Clatms the Right to Name the Piace for His Fight with Corbett, Cuicaco, Aug. 20, —Charlie Mitchell will sail from England September 16 and will be in this city the 30th, after spending u week in New York. At least, 0 the English box- ing champion informs Patsy Fallon in a let- ter. Charhe wiites a long letter, and in 1t he oxpresses his views fully regarding the wrangle going on botween the clubs as to which will get the big battle, Mitchell says that when the articles ot agreement. were first signed Corbet was arbitrary and refused 1o concede a single voint to him, but finally, after considerable talk, it was agreed that the English cham- pion should name the club before which the tight would take place. Mitchell further declares in his letter that he will claim this privilege when he comes here and he em- phatically declares shat he willl fight nowhere but at Roby, Ind. He rightly thinks that, outside of the previous agreement, he has as much right to dictate as Corbe.t, particularly as the latter will be in his own country and should be willing to contest before any of the clubs. Mitchell will be uucmnr.mitd here by Charles McDonald, Jim Hall, Juck McAuliffe and several other lesser lights of the sport- ing world, He speaks modestly of his pres- ent condition, but it is gleaned from b letter that bis hands, which always gave bim a world of trouble, are now in excellent condition, and he does uot anticipate any trouble with them while training for his con- test with the American champion. He ulso says that his general condition is far better than at any previous time in his career, und that he is almost as big and strong as Corbett. Won by the biritannta. Loxnox.

"Birls, o= TOUGH EXPERIENCE OF SOLDIER-PUPILS T p— 1) Fuature Defenders of Uncle Sam's Territory Given Somethihg to Docupy Thelr Time Every ‘Minute Tkhe Day. Ci10Aa0, Aug. 26.—A most serious state of affairs exists at Jackson park. The future welfare of the country so dear to us all is being gravely jeopardized. A gloominou cloud hangs over the government section of the exposition. If the country shallgo to the dogs in the future, if Siam should come over here and with one fell swoop take pos- session of everything, or it the company of big, black, Dahomeyan warriors now at the fair should carry us all home with them, the responsibility can bo easily placed. After this, before & man is appointed to a high of- fice, an important ofMce, an office of trust, it should be ascertained beyond the shadow of are exaotly what they should be on the subject which has caused the fracturing of so much good ozone by oratorical eloquence a doubt that his vie: —“Protection.” Had this condition bsen enforced we would not now be confronted with this dreadful Jackson park dilemma. For one high ofticer, the secretary of war, nas been guilty of criminal recklessness and d_hundreds of young souls in peril. He has willfully, {f not malicicusly, turned loose in the exposition grounds, in'the midst of the hungry horde of World's fair girls, 284 of Uncle Sam's indiscretion which has place embryonic soldiers—West Point cadets. And if his detachment of bright young war- riors shall return to him but a battered, tat- tered relic of their former selves, the derelict sccrotary should be called to ' striot ac- count, that he may be made to solemnly promise that it will never occur again. The guileless young soldiers arrived in all the glory of gray uniforms, brass buttons, broad shoulders, swelling breasts—and some of their discomfited rivals aro mean enough toadd, heads—at noon. August 18. They went into camp on the plaza, east of the government building, on the bank of the lake, right out in the open grounds without evena fence around the encampment—no means of protection whatever. Of course there arc a number of Uncle Sam’s guns scattered around, but they are &ll pointed toward the lake—the invasion does not come from that qgarter—besides, they are not loaded. Thereare those 200 odd future defenders of the country exposed to the cruel mercies of at least 10,000 sum- mer girls, of the most killing kind. With her "usual promptitude ‘‘ahe” has classed all mankind at Jackson Park into two classes—West Point cadets and just men. She displays an overwhelming pas- sion for gray in color, gray uniforms and brass buttons. The smart little white tents are surrounded throughout the day. So are the cadets. Ono of them (the cadets) canuot go fora stroll or drink of penny-in-the-slot Hygiea water without being pounced upon by small skirmish parties of from two to six young women. Herotofore, it is, true, they have always returned him to his tent in time for taps, but it 15 problematival what would happen were a couple of his' admirers to find a cadet alone, uparmed and near one of the exit gates. By constant.and vigilant exercise of their authority, the sentries who march up ana down ‘ip front of the camp have managed to prevent an open attack. How- ever, at times the crowd around the camp- ing ‘ground of tho young men threatens actually to force, oyer the guard line and carry all bofore it in, one mad foray. When it is remembered that there are so few of the cadets, numerically, and that the number of young women desizous of wearing cadets by their sides is practically unlimited, it witl be seen thut the West Point young men are in grave danger. Unless a sea wall is buily around the camp or tho sentry line doubled and a dead line established the country need not be surprised to hear that the contention vetween the cadets and World's fair girls has led o serious engagements. Not Defending Themselves, The most devlorable feature in the case is the young men are making no_effort to de- fend themselves. It is impossible to ascer- tain whether it 1s from ignorance of their reul danger or a wish to display their valor or diplomatic military tactic But the fact remains that they are actually courting the advances of the enemy. It is too bad, for they are a nice, trim, supple, sun browned, muscular lot of young men. They form the most strictly disciplined body of troops in the world. A German military officer, now at the fair, who comes from the land of well disciplined armies, says that the military contingent of no other country 18 subjectea to the rigorous training that these slim-waisted youngsters undergn. The cadets wear clothes like those worn by Grant, Sheridan, Sherman and Thomas before they had dreamed of fame, and by Edgar Allan Poe before he bad made the acquaintance of the dolorous “Raven.” The late General herman once remarked, ‘‘Cadets on graduation ure straight-bodied, strong, rough riders and made manly by four years of harder work than is asked of any other 300 boys or men anywhere on the facé of the globe.” Visitors who see these youthful soldiers hardly realize that these same boys can lay a pontoon bridge, draw a topographical map, mount and dismount a twenty-ton gun and play & game of stratogos with u skill equal to that of the students of schools of those countries where war isa trade and arms a professior. They give a dress parade every evening at sunset on the government plazi, which I8 always witnessed by just as many people as can find foothold within seeing dis- tunce. The parade is perfect. The move- ments all down the long line look as if made by & single leg and arm. No stop varles an inch in length. They move as a single man. Few people realize that in conjunction with all the military practice, etc., these young men keep up a course of studies which, alone, would be considered a hard task oy most boys. They undergo examina- tions at stated intervals which are extremely rigid, To fail in any one study from French to tactics pronounces the delinquent as inel- 1gible to fight-Judians. Yet these boys who arise at 5 o'clock in the morning winter and summer and who are busy every minute of every day are universally considered dudes and their lives at. West Pownt are looked upon as one contnued round of pleasure by the American publie. A congressman from Missouri keeps his district unrepresentod at the academy, declaring ha will send no boy to o **dude factory.” Uhe mistaken impression owes its existénceito summer visitors to the plutesu on the Hudson. The cadets stay in camp all through the hot months of summuer, and if they have a permitand are noton guard, nor in arrest;uor confined in the com- pany street for a petty breach of discipline, they may be seen atthe hotel hops as late as 9:45 o'clock three evenings in a week. It is on this extensive amount of dissipation and frivolity during camp time—the only time the year when they have any play—that the July and August visitor bases the pelief and circulates the same—that a West Point cadet’s life is riotous with pleasure.

Uees Mave Tongues. How many people are aware of the fact that hees have tongues, tongues 80 long in preportion to the size of the bee, that in com- parison & woman's tongue is nowheret In wandering through the east gallery of the ago the above valuable information was gained in the Nebraska honey exhibit—which, by the way, is oue of the finest in the section. On astand by a window stood a box abouta foot square covered all over except on the bottom with flng wire netting. About & Agricultural building a few da, ES million bees had been placed in’ the box They kicked and pawed and climbed over each other 1n a way that wa Istressing, when one realized what damage can be done with the business end of a bee. When the site for operations is carefully selected they can produce about the sume effect on the human physique that o blow from John L. Sullivan's fist usually does, The bees were all scrambling to got whack at a little dab of sugar. Of course the bees at the top got the sweets and _they could afford to show their tongues. If one noticed carefully he could see a little brown something protrude through the netting and into the sugar where it stayed but an in- stant. thenwas withdrawn. At first one wondered what it was. It couldn't have been an ear for any one would know, even if they were not up in_bee-ology, that bees don’t have ears. Besides the visitor could not recall that he had ever heard of any live thing feeding itself with its ear. It could not be its implement of torture because in that case 1t would poison itself to death. Likewise it could not be a leg for the insect is only possessed of twoand can't stand on one. . At this bewildering juncture Mr. B. Whit- comb of Friend, Neb., who has charge of the exhibit, arrived upon the scene and kindly volunteered the information that the bee eats with its tongue. After this astonishing bit of information the visitor would not have been surprised to learn that the model of in- dustry has teeth also. Tho tongue of the bee is not as long as the human tongue, but it must be one-fourth of an inch. After wiv- ing away this cobweb, Mr. Whitcomb pro- .Lida n 1876, to ork to attend the 100th anniversary of Washington's inaugura- tion in 18590; 1o marcn in the celebration of the battle of Benunington in 1802, and last October to the Columbus celebration in New York. It is no sinecure to be a West ceeded to explain some things about honey- making in 80 abls a manner that he con- vinced his audience that there was one man at the fair who does understand the busi- ness. He told of how beeswax is formed by a great number of bees collecting in a small space ana xor?‘ink themselves on swects, under which circumstances their tomperature rises until a moisture exudes from the body which is gathered of by other bees and of which the wax is made. Lots of peovle know that the infant bee is placed in a cell filled with liquid honoy, after which the cell is sealed up and left 8o until the bee makes 1ts way out. In this exhioit is displayed between sixty and seventy honey producing plants native to Nebraska, nrossed on large sheets of white paper, and as a number of thom have retained their natural colors they are very attractive. Mr. Whitcomb hospitably offered his guest a sample of honey madein Scot- land of Scotch heather; houey made in Russia; honey made in Greece, Russian cake sweetened with honey, honey made of roses and honey vinegar—did you ever taste vinegar as u dessert to honoy? The flavor of the Scotch honey was o strong to be pleasant. It tasted just as heather smells. -Fhe Kussian honey ~lacked sweetness and Havor—iasted more like sugar sirup than honey. The rose honey was ruther pleasant, as was also a samplo of honey made in Greece, but none of it could compare with the sweet clover honey made in Nebraska. Not the least atiractive feature of the exhibit is the display of bees- wax, molded and modeled into statucttes, fruits and flowers. 1t is the handiwork of Mrs, E. Whitcomb, wife of the obliging host of the exhibit. As a whole the exhibit makes a good showing for the bee industry of Nebraska. Nebraskans at the Falr.

INDIANAPOLIS, Aug. 26.—The securities that were carried away from the Indianapolis Nauonal bank a few days before it sus- pended by depositors who happoned to be favorites of President Haughey have been returned. The publication of the informa- tion that collateral has disappeared from the bank so aroused the indignation of de- positors that the persons who had been secured deemed 1t wise to return the paper. Receiver Hawkins says tl there is not now a dollar of the collateral belonging to the bank in anybody's hands. In a statement to tho state board of tax commissicners, Receiver Hawkins says: ‘1t is proposed to show to the United States suthorities that a dividond of 8 per cent de- clared on July 1 was illezal and should be paid back by those holding bank stock. “In my judgment the bank has been insol- vent for a number of years. The stock has s0ld high for the reason that the real con- dition of the bank was not known. It should not have returned anything to the asscssor April 1. Its stock actually was without value und was a damage to those who owned it, s will e shown whon a par assessment is made to pay the obligations. The tax for the last half of 1802 will have to be paid as a preferred claim, I suppose.” — Now York Bunk Statement.
