Weaver made one of his flying trips to Council Bluffs last week and was closeted for a whole evening with a number of the party leaders. He had learned of the determination that existed among some of the local populist leaders to put up a county ticket this fall, instead of fusing with the democrats, as had been the first inten- tion, and the main object of his visit was to nip the scheme in the bud if possible. It is related by one of those present, who for ob- vious reasons does not care to have his name mentioned, that the general raked certain Individuals over the coals pretty warmly and gave strict instructions that hereafter the populists in the Ninth congressional ditsrict should pay no attention to anything except to secure his election; that would be all they had any time for. As dictator for his party he gave it out cold that ony one who advo- cated the idea of putting up a county ticket would be considered a traitor to the populist party. The talk in which he indulged caused a sensation among those who heard it and had two sorts of effects. Those who believed in all around fusion before were strengthened in the belief, while those who wanted to put up populists’ to be voted for at the county clection had their wrath raised by being vanked up and lectured lke a lot of school boys who had been caught clmbing over the fence at recess to steal green appies. Among populists of this lattr stripe it is the general opinjon that Weaver did not help his caze any by his talk, and the democrats who bel in standing up for democratic principles are still standing around waiting for a chance to stick a pin into his congressional boom on the sly.

The law went into effect at midnight last night, so that all dealers or others having playing cards for sale will be required to make and forward to the office of J. C. Lange, the deputy internal revenue collector in this city, a sworn statement of the number of packs of such cards in thelr possession, in- cluding therein an application for the number of stamps required, accompanied by a money order in payment therefor, upon receipt of which the office will furnish the dealer with the stamps.

DES MOINES, Aug. 27.—(Special Telegram to The Bee.)—One of the most fiendish crimes ever perpetrated in this city came to light this evening. It was perpetrated by two vil- lains Saturday night in the of the city and has been kept quiet in order ti give the autherities a chance to arrest the perpetrators, but which is not yet accom- plished. The victim of the outrage is Mre, Kate Pathoff, a widow. About 2 o'clock Sunday morning she was aroused by a noise and got upto see what was the matter. As she opened a_door upstairs she was confronted by two burglars, who demanded her money. She said she had but little, which the fellows were allowed to se- cure.” They threatened to cutrags her and she fought desperately to get away. Finding she would not yield, the villain threatened to outrage her little daughter, and to save her child the poor woman submitted. She is terribly prostrated by the assault and the excitement, and although she will recover, it will be many days before she will regain her normal condition. She describes the fellows as young, with clean shaven faces, over which they had smeared dirt or blacking to disguise their features. They wore good clothes, and talked as though they had been burglars for a long time. The neighborhood Is aroused, and it will go hard with- the fellows if the people can get their hands and a rope on them. Enlarging Shenandoah Churches, SHENENDOAH, Ta., Aug. 27.—(Special to The Bee)—Both the Methodist and Congre- gational churches of this city have been closed most of the summer for the purpose of repairs and the building of large addi- tions to both bulldings.

SIOUX CITY, Aug. 27.—The Credits Com- mutation company’s answer to the Manhat- ten Trust compan’s foreclosure proceeding against the Sioux City & Northern Railway company has filed in the United States eire cuit_court. The petition alleges conspiracy on the part of the Manhattan Trust company, trustee for the first mortgage bondholders of the Sioux City & Northern, the Union de- benture company of Jersey City, N. J., J. Kennedy, Todd & Co. of New York and J. J. Hill of the Great Northern road, to get the varlous properties referred to and particularly the Sioux City & Northern road in their hands. In pursuance of this scheme, it is asesrted that they loaned to the officers of the road large sums of money at usurious rates of interest and they worked together in numer- ous ways to depreciate the stock in the hope that they might buy it at less than it was worth. Mystery of a Council Bluffs Killing. DES MOINES, In., Aug. 27.—(Special Tele- gram to The Bee.)—A couple of weeks ago a young man was killed at Council Bluffs by b:ing run over by a train, the body being cut in two. The remains were finally identi- fled by Al C. Roper and wife of this city as those of their son and the funeral was held from their home in this city. Today, how- ever, they were greatly surprised and shocked to see their son walk into the house alive and well. He left home the first of May to travel with a circus and had not been heard from since. The identification of the victim of the railroad accident |s now more of a mystery than ever. The body was marked with the initials of F. R. on the left arm. There was a broken tooth and other marks identical with those of young Roper, and the resemblance was remarkably strik- ing in many ways. Work of Incendlaries, CEDAR RAPIDS, la.,, Aug. 27. — (Special Telegram to The Bee.)—The large barn and granary of George Hoadley near this city were totally destroyed by fire this morning, causing a 10ss of $3,000.

WASHINGTON, Aug. 27.~+When the house of representatives receded from its disagree- ment to the tariff bill it granted ten days leave to print to all its members. That is to say, that all members whe had not been given time to speak duriug the debate were glven leave to print their speeches in the Record as though they had been delivered. Only thirty-six speeches onsithe tarift have been printed gince this permission was given. Part of these are speeches! that were, in fact, delivered on the floor, ‘but were with- beld for revision. 1In severalicases one man has more than one speech ingerted. In the senate during the long considers- tion of the bill the aemocracs have, very gen- erally refrained from makmg speeches on account of the time it would require The bill has passed and a few democratic senators sought to make speeches on the bill, but the republicans objected to their de- livery, and there being no voting quorum of senators in the city they were able to pre- vent it. It will be sein that the majority of congressmen of both parties do not intend to present tariff literature to their con- stituents this fall in the contest they are making for re-¢lection. sl Lk Refased to Resteain Carlisle.

How Fireworks for “Lust Days of Pompell” Are Made. Fireworks possess an undying fasciriation for the young and old. Their meteoric life —or rather death, in its various fiery phases —is more or less familiar to all, but few are the facts popularly known as to the trade that yearly produces millions of dollars’ worth of scintillant beauty — truly as mys- terlous an art as the alchemist's of old Many thousands congregate each night of the performance at Courtland beach to see the gorgeous pageantry, splendid acrobatic specialties and other features incident to the “Last Days of Pompeil,” but it is not pre- suming to say the greatest interest centers in the fir:works display that terminates each performance, and surely interest will not be decreased by an explanation of the caus producing such effects—the blowing away, it were, of the dense smoke that so mysti- fles the fiery art Back of the huge sceneries and buildings at the Pompeilan park are several workshops where a large forc> of Messrs. Pain's ex perienced men are daily engaged in prepar- ing fireworks designs for the forthcoming ex- hibitions. Not all the firzworks are made here, as many come direct from the Long Island factory, but what the workshops did not reveal was made up by a trip through the big Ircn-sheathed magazine, where the factory products are stored. Proably the most eccentric of all fireworks is the “water devil.” Each piec: consists of two distinet parts, the propelling power, which is represented by the cylinder, which is the foot, and the effect, which s the head. These two parts are set at an angle to each other S0 as to propel the piece in a 2igzag path. The propelling forc: is the same fn principle to that which propels skyward the rockets. Skyrockets are among the most generally known of fireworks devices. There is a vast difference in the size of these, the smallest used at “Pompeli” being of one ounce size, while the largest is six pounds. This large size requires a stick six feet long and one inch square to guide it in its Aight. In or- dinary rockets the stars are independent of each other, and when the paper cylinder bursts during the downward fiight they fiy in every direction. In the hanging chain and festoon rockets the stars are attached to a string, but in such a way as to be burned before the stars have become extinguish:d. The parachutes to these rockets are some- times made of silk, but usually of Japanese paper designed especially for the purpose. When the rocket explodes the chain, which has be:n carefuly rolled up so as not to be- come untangled, unrolls, and by its fall automatically opens the parachute, causing the stars to float in midair. Bombs or shells are probably the most popular and at the same time most expen- sive fireworks used. A description of the way bombs are manufactured was given in The Bee a few days ago The tourbillion or “tabl rocket” is another interesting plec:. It hisses like a rocket and sends out @ shower of stars which assume the form of an umbreila. In the large size the stars fill an area from twenty to thirty feet in diameter, producing an exquisite and novel effect, No great display of fireworks is complece without its set piece, or as it is technicaly termed, ‘“lance work.” Portraits, mottc:s, pictures of buildings, In fact, almost eny- thing that can be drawn on paper can be produced in this way with surprisingly vivid effect, even to every desired color. An amount of prelimenary work is required which seems out of proportion to the time that the picture actually lasts, but the impre: on left in the mind is lasting. The picture to be repro- duced s sketched by an arlist on paper laid off in squares corr:sponding with squares on the frame work upon which the lance work is to be done. In the case of the designs given at “Pom- peli” the frame work Is usually 25 feet high and 20 feet wide, comprised of ten blocks, each 10 feet long and 6 feet wide, lald off into squares 1 foot each way. The artist with a plece of chalk fastened to the end of a long stick, sketches the outline of the picture on the frame work and stage corre- sponding to the sketch in his hand. Assist- ants follow behind him nalling strips of rattan or bamboo over the chalk lines. The ten individual frames are then sawed apart where these strips joined them together. A boy follows the second man and puts wire nalls at (ntervals of four or five inches in all the bamboo and rattan tracing. Then another goes over the job with pinchers, clipping the h:ad of each nail. Another man follown with ‘“ances” of various colors and places one on each nail, glue and the nail holding it in place. When the lances are all set and glued in plac: a quick match is pinned over the upper end of each lance, connecting them all together as shown In figures. This pin penetrates a priming cn th: head of each i “lance,” which ignites the instant the fire is present. After all the lances are in position and the fuse applied, the whole design is elevated into its position each frame being securely tied into place, and fuses of cach carefully connected with adjoining ones When the design is to be presented the ple- ture is touched off at two different points, Biving an effcct of every lance, being lighted at the same instant. How nearly this is so can be judged from the fact that were a man to take one hundred feet of quick mateh used for this purpose, hold both ends in his hands and light one end, the fire would reach the other end before he could drop it. Gunpowder enters largely into the manu- facture of fireworks to serve for ignition, but not for color effect. Several grades and qualities are used. One kind, called ‘“‘meal” powder, being manufactured especially for the purpose. In the manufacture of fireworks extra hazardous compounds are avolded as much as possible, for at the best the risk is great. Many are the compon:nis used to produce the varled results. Saltpetre, sulphur, Paris green, sodas,charcoal, sawdust, cotton, mag- nesium, stroncha, steel and iron filings and other chemicals are used to produce the more common effects, while some of the colors and tints are produced by compositions known only to the head of the great fireworks firm. SURVEYING LAKE SUPERIOR. Murk Harrington Makes Interesting Obser- vations for His Weather Maps. WASHINGTON, Aug. 27.—Mark Harring- ton, chlet of the weather bureau, recently re- turned from a trip along the northwest shore of Lake Superior undertaken with the pur- pose of the survey in order to complete the weather bureau maps showing the currents of the great lakes. The professor was ac- companied by Mr. N. B. Comber, the Inspec- tor of the lake marine work. The trip was made In a sall boat with a crew of three men in which the professor approached the shore of Lake Superior and the Isle Royal. Owing to the character of the northwest coast of Lake Superior and the shores of the Isle Royal, which are very rocky and steep, showing the occurrence of a very heavy surf, it is impossible for the current bottles used in the determination of the lake currents to be landed without breakage. In fact only one current boftle has been re- turned from these shores and that in a deep inlet on Isle Royal which the seas did not reach, ‘Owing to the absence of nformation to be obtained in the usual way, Prof. Harrington was forced to rely on other methods such as the Indications of dry wood, the drift wreck- age and the accounts of fishermen; also direct observations of the drift of floating objects, the distribution of surface tempera- tures, ete. Prof. Harrington reports to the that from the information he has he has made it possible to finally the scheme of surface currents Superior as shown on the map which ac- companies the report. Many temperature observations were taken during-the trip, ob- servations which showed some interestin facts. 1t was found, for instance, that the temperature of the water in Lake Superior is very low and especially in the open luke, alling sometimes in July wnd August to below 40 degrees.
