This production, which is a patriotic melo-drama, is said to have made one of the successes of the season, being Interpreted by a thoroughly competent com- pany of artists. The plet deals with life during the earlier portion of the century, and is described as being of intense interest, {Te sltuations being both novel and exciting. Sandow, one of the most talked-of men of modern times, will make his firs: appearance In Omaba on Thursday evening, at Boyd's theater, when he will appear with a famous organization, known as the Sandaw Troca- dero Vaudevilles. Sandow has thus far appeared in less than half a dozen cities of America, and yet his marvelous feats of strength have ~excited sueh extraordinary comment and notice that his name has be- come a verltable household word, as it also is in Burope. A more magnificent specimen of physical mnahood never lived. Eminent scientists have declared him to be “the phys- fcally perfect man.” He is not only the athlete of the century, but even ancient times do not afford a record of achievements in physical strength which can compare with ivhat he accomplishes, Among his feats of strength might be mentioned the see-saw- ing of three horzes om his chest. He also bears on his chest a platform with twenty men standing on it—a welght of 3,800 pounds, He also raises at arm's length above his head a buman dumbsbell, in the shape of two baskets, each one of which contains a man who welghs 130 -pounds. The organization ineludes “The Lucifers,” grotesques from the principal music halls of London; “Tom Bfowne,” the eminent double-note whistler; “Billy Van," comedian, for several years principal comedian with Prifirose & Wesl; :Mir, Marguerite.” the beautiful and accompifsied equilibrist, her first appearance In America; “Miss Scottie,” the clever calculator. and card playing collie dog, exhibiting the highest animal intelli- gence ever attalned; “flen Dunham" (late Marlo and Dunham), the premier bar per- former of the world; ““Amann,” Europe greatest facial mimic, ‘Elving life-like re- productions of world-Jamous men; “The Mar- velous Jordan family,”" . astonishing aerial acrobats, in indescribable feats, and the peer- less Sandow, in hi§' Témarkable acts. of strength, which have so astonished the world, The entire entertalnment is under the per- sonal direction of Mg, Ziegfeld, jr., late conductor of the Trogadero Music ‘hall in Chicago. The sale,of, seats will open to- tomorrow morning. 1o u Thursday afternoon 4t 2:30 o'clock, San- dow, the strongest and most perfect man in the world, will glve 'one of his celebrated private entertainmentd at his rooms in the Millard hotel for the benefit of twenty doc- tors and newspaper men. The entertain- ment will consist of a lecture and several private tests not down on the public bills. b Did Not Know They Were Stolen. Frank H, Miller has been arrested on the charge of stealing & number of fine rugs from the Columbus Buggy company. He told the police what disposition he had made of the property, and said that he had sold the rugs to Andrew Bell and John Tuthill, two saloon keepers. The officers immedi- ately filed complaints against Tuthill and Bell, and have served warrants on them charging them with concealing stolen prop- erty. ‘The cases will be heard on January 22.° The saloon men clalm that they did not know the property was stolen, and have slven bonds for their appearance i the palice court. IN COUNCIL BLUFES (Continued from Third Page.) the coming season’s trade to get the best seeds to be had for money. All of our seeds are of the best known variety. We are In the market to buy all high grade lots of timothy, clover and millet seeds. We also handle flour, feed and grain. With the promise of a favorable geason, the outlock for the next year Is very bright S, A, PIERCE & COS TESTIMONY. “With the whols clvilized world in a state of financlal turbulancy, it could not be ex pecied that Council Bluffs should escape un- scathed in the financlal hurricane that has swept over the land in the past tw sald Mr. Plerce, tha veteran member of the shoe firm that has been such a factor in the shoe trade in the Missouri valley for so many years. “Our trade for (he past season ha more than met our expectations, while profits have been reduced, the amount of sales will exceed those of last year. With good crops the coming season, Council Bluffs will rank as one of the most prosperous cilles in the west."" THE IOWA BUSINESS COLLEGE. e year has been a prosperous one with tho Western lowa Business college.” sald Prof. Paulson, Its president and founder. “It is affording just the facilities demanded by the young man and woman seeking the best preparation for commercial pursults. Young men are realizing more than ever the necessity for thorough prepacation, and this gives us a full school of earnest, hard working students. We fit them for all the principal work in commercial life, and send them out fitted to compete with those skilled by long experience. The pretent winter term s remarkable for a large attendance, and the indications are that we will have the largest attendance in the history of the institution. MEASURED BY ARCHITECT COMPASSES. “You really need look no further than to the building trades to get the surest indica- tions of the degree of prosperity we have en- joyed as a city during the past year,” said W. Woodward, of J. C. & W. Woodward, architects, Everett bleck. “It indicates every- thing in the way of financial conditions. In times of stagnation architects have nothing to do, but when there is fdle money and an outlook for good invesiments people build houses. The past year has really been a busy one with us, and our books show that in the city alone we have done $75,000 worth of business. We have been in competiticn with lots of spirited architects and have only got- ten our share of the work, and this indicates a pretty healthy condition all around. An- other thing that pleases us is the standing we are acquiring out of town. We have put up some fine buildinge in other cities, notably the Malvern school house and the Young Men’s Christian association building in that thrifty little clty, besides many other build- ings, public and private. We aim to give our patrons the very best there s and the newest and handsomest. We do all our own super- vising, and save every dollar possible to the builder. The outlook for '95 is very bright, and we're going to do all we can to make it 2 hummer.” The Woodwards have to their credit some of the finest residences in the city. They are pre-eminently “home” builders, and there is something agreeably satisfying and com- plete abcut their buildings in addition to ele- gance and stability. They commence the new year with a §10,000 residence for Hon. L. E. Williams at Glenwood. WHAT THE DRUG TRADE SHOWS, “I am not at all dissatisfied with the year's business,” sald Paul G. Schuelder, the well known down town druggist. “While it is true that we could have handled more busi- ness without Increasing our force we have been very busy during the whole year. My balance sheets show that the volume of frade \as up to that of last year, and in such a year as we have had this is some- thing to be proud of. I am carrying a larger line of goods than ever, and I am glving my patrons the full value of every cent spent in any (department of the store. I feel positively suré wd have seen the worst, and that our commerclal crafts will.all have much smoother sailing from now on. There are many indications of the substantial prog- ress made by the city during 1894, There have been mo failures and we have added several new establishments, among them the Council Blufts Medlcal college, located in the upper rooms of this block. This glves some prestige to our drug store and requires the addition of several new lines, giving us about as complete a stock as any city in the country can boast of. This is especially true in the prescription department, where the physician can ba assured that his pre- scriptions will be compounded faithfully with the purest and freshest drugs, and the equally pleasant assurance to the patron that he is not being robbed.” Mr. Schneider's drug store is one of the fargest and finest in the city, and his busi- ness might well serve as an_indicator of the business situation during the past year, and his confident predictions an earnest of the feeling generally for 1895. ONE GREAT SOURCE OF WEALTH AND PROSPERITY. “If there is anything that ought to Indicate more than anything else that there Is ono grand industry that is exempt from the many mutations of fate it is the record of the last year in the fruit and vegetable Industry around Council Bluffs,” sald Mr. F. J. Day of the real cstate firm of Day & Hess. “‘Busi- ness property in clties .and towns is often nonproductive, and thousands and millions of acres of high-priced farm lands have not paid the cosi of seeding this last season, but there s not an acre of fruit or garden lands in this vicinity but has returned wonderful remuneration for the labor put upon it. The facts are that the average returns for fruic and vegetable lands for a serles of years has approximated closely upon $200 an acre. The year just past was perhaps the worst for the fruit business ever known. In the first place the unprecedented zero weather in March jn- flicted some damage, and when this in turn was followed by freezing temperatures in May just when the grapes were in full bloom, and this again followed by the drouth, all the un- favorable ccnditions possible were provided for a complete fallure. But there was no failure by any means. The average yleld was perhaps a liitle more than one-half what ft should have been in the grape crop, bu: there was about a full crop of berries, The prices ranged generally better than on previcus years, and the final result is that the owners castng up their accounts for the new year find they are as well off in almost all in- stances as they expected to be. The extra- ordinary meteorological conditions left the soil in better shapo than it has ever been for fu- ture crops, looser, freer from weeds and In every way better than at the close of last year. The moral is shiningly con- spicuous. I know of no avenue open alike to all classes that offers the same sure and magnificent returns as the fruit and garden business around Council Bluffs, Our land does not cost one-fifth as much as California lands and it is ten times more easlly culti- vated. Then we are not handicapped for a market like California and the extreme south. They are away off to one side and must ship long distances, while we are right in the center, with markets all around us, besides the splendid home market created by the center of population in three cities of nearly a quarter of a million people. Our gardeners and fruit raisers are fast getting wealthy. The history of the last few years shows that our lands will produce from $100 to $200 per acre in grapes, $300 In strawberries, $150 to $200 in blackberries and $260 in raspberries. People with small means who want to get & foothold must get a hustle upon themselves, for the price of our fruit lands is steadily rising. There is Do nicer or safer business and all who are engaged in it are so well satisfied that established fruit farms are not for sale. We have several hundred acres lying within two and one-half miles of the postoffice, which we have platted in five and twenty-acre lots or any other amounts, to suit purchasers. They are the choleest garden lands in this natural garden. Most of it lies on southern and eastern hillsides and it abounds in ideally beautiful sites for homes. We have cut rcads and built bridges, and cvery portion of it is easily accessible. The soll is a rich vegetable mold spread over the deep alluvial hills. It is astonishingly productive and ylelds its profits at once. We have made many people happy during the year and will make many more prosperous and contented before the present year passes. An industry that has carned $500,000 such & year as we have had is certainly a profit- able one, and it will double in importance each year.' THE SMOKE OF TRADE. We're cleaning up a year's business that has heen extensive and profitable,” said |t they years,” | William Moore of the great wholesale firm of Peregoy & Moore, who have for years dominated the cigar trade in a territory as large as some of the empires of Rurape. “The general impression seems to be that 1894 was a year of struggles. And there was no doubt lots of fighting for existence. Taking this view of the situation or Its opposite that peace hath her victories, we can look back over the year and see lots of smoke wo have made. Our business is cer- tainly a good measure of the business pros- perity during the past year. It shows two things very distinctly: the first, that the people of our territory are just as ready to buy goods as ever, and _ second, are inclined to cconomical. This has cre- ated a demand for lower priced goods, and has been the chief means of making our sales for 1894 equal or exceeding the num- ber of cigars consumed any other years, and at the same time has fuily maintained the financlal record of any previous year. We have not laid off a traveling man during the year or permitted one of them to miss a trip. _Rven in the drouth districts of west ern Nebraska our trade has held up re- markably well, and our traveling men will continue to cail upon our patrons out there whether they get any orders or not, en- couraging them by hearty good wishes, We have not pushed any especial brand this sea- son, although I am confident that the sales of some of our old favorites have exceeded any- thing in the cigar business in this country We glve the trade just what it wants, and tho best there is in the world of that grade. Of course, we have had to increase our stock, and now carry more than 300 brands of ocigars alone in addition to everything else made of_tobacco. “We don't like to talk about our business, for the barest statement of the facts would sound too much like boasting, but on an occasion like this we naturally feel in a reminiscent mood. We thought we had reached the limit some years ago, but each year shows a growth both in the number of customers and the amount of goods bought. This cannot be attributed alone to the un- precedented advantages afforded by the mag- nificent railwsy facilities of Council Blulfs to all jobbing interests, but to the fact of still greater importanco to the trade that all of our goods are just what they are represented to be. We don't build up a demand for a special brand by bating, put- ting in the highest grade of stock at the start and then easing up on it as the demand Increases and be- comes fixed. All of our special brands that we have put out by the milligns are made of the same high grade material today that they were when first introduced, and as long as they are handled they will be kept right up to the same high standard. Our local trade, which means Council Bluffs, Omaha and South Omaha, sizes up with our best years. The outlook for '95 is very satis- factory. and we will push our trade more vigorously than ever, raising the standard of our goods where that is possible, and making the boxes that bear the name of Peregoy & Moore more than ever an absolute guaranty of highest excellence. “Give our heartiest compliments to the public, and say that we earnestly hope that all may share in assured prosperity of the coming year.” INDICATED BY THE MONEY MARKET. “There is one very satisfactory, consoling thought when a fellow drops info a remi- niscent mood on occasions like this,” said Charles Burr Towle of Lougee & Towle, the big loan and investment firm, “‘and that fs that ‘whate'er betide, we've known the worst.' But this thought, however, only has a relative connection with our business dur- ing the past year, and applies to things in general, other people's affairs. It has not been an unsatisfuctory year to us by any means, for our business has increased, both in volume and profits. The fact that there have been no fallures in Council Bluffs and that progress has been steadily made in the face of most unpropitious times gives us a wonderful renewal of strength in eastern money markets. Our business is really the best Index to the prosperity of this section and it is the first, to indicate returning good times, for we feel the impulse long before it is_generally felt. 1In our eastern territory, which comprises Vermont, New ‘Hampshire and Massachusetts, good Council Bluffs and Iowa paper is quickly snapped up, I spent a large portion of the latter part of the summer and early autumn down there, and I know that the feeling of confidence in us is universal. Only a few weeks ago one of the large capitalists, who has $17,000,000 of insurance money to invest, made us a visit and went carefully over the ground. * Ho had already taken about $150,000 of our paper, and when he got ready to go home he told us we might increase that to $500,000 just as quick as we could. Another capitals ist, who represents large Interests, has writ- ten us fn the last few days, placing orders for all the gilt-cdged paper we can get. This inflow of eastern money would of itselt assure better times If there were no other active causes working to bring about - the same result. The fact that we are thus able to meet any demand that may be made upon us for money 18 an important one and will encourage, legitimate business. Another thing, the rates of Interest are lower than ever before in the history of the west, and any man who wants money for legitimate uses and can give approved sccurity will find no trouble or delay in getting it. Of course we make no wildeat loans, and the bullc is on improved farm property. The farmers are not borrowing money to pay off old indebtedness, but for new improve- ments. Another thing that js very favorable to us is the promptness with which maturing obligations are met. We have not a de- faulted ioterest coupon during the year, and every December obl gat'on is paid. “Our insurance business has also been very satisfactory. We carry none but the strongest board ‘companies, the Imperial, the Glen Falls and the Palatine, which are the strongest companles in the world, “Taking all things together I think we have much to feel thankful for and to en- courage us for the future.” WHAT REAL ESTATE BUSINESS SHOWS. “We've been rustling real estate in this city for seven or elght years,” said Alderman Nicholson of Greenshields, Nicholson & Co,, “and the last year evens up with the best of them. The country elsewhere has had a backset, from gome cause or other, but T don't know of a town of the same size that has suffered so little as Councll Bluffs, We have a good deal more than held our own. Prices have advanced and the transfers have been greater than last year, and If it hadn't been for the general backset, it would have been hard to keep down a boom here last summer. No sane man's confidence in the town has ever wavered, and the steady growth we have made Is one of the Inevitable consequences. I have the best of reasons for having the utmost confidence In the fu- ture, and tho immediate future at that, I have every confidence in the integrity and Intentions of the Union Land and Improyb- ment company and the Omaha Bridge and Terminal company. The big developments that were promised early in the fall are only delayed, and I have the best of reasons for saying that It Is only a slight delay and no disarrangement of plans. The promises that Council Bluffs would have 20,000 more people In two years were not vague ones, and, in my opinion, they will be realized, Nobody has lost any money in Council Bluffs realty, and It Las proved to be safe and prof- itable investment. And the present is the very best time in the entire history of the city to Invest, with the quickest returns as- sured. Conservative real estate men are working against any sudden rise in real es- tate value that might savor of a boom, and we are not encouraging wildcat speculation, Good, conservativo investments, however, are safe and profitable, and none of the men who are holding property will make a mistake.

The chief difficulty seéms to be that tho challenge is an open one, to date belng glven, and that the London Athletic club will be engaged in several important meet= ings before June, and therefore cannot spare its best men. Consequently it is not thought probable an English team conld be sent over until late fn tho summer, and if this fs ace complished it is believed the following ath= letes, supposing everything else to be satis- factory, will form part of the English party W.
