Complaint was made yesterday of the ac- tlons of two colts wio have no fear of motor cars in thelr hearts. They have a tantalizing way of stationing themselves on the car tracks near the corner of avenue A and Thirty-fifth street and standing there coyly until the motorman gets oft and drives them away with a stick. This has delayed the trains somewhat and aroused the ire of the motormen even more. The owner of the animals was notified that it he does not keep them at home the motor company will not be responsible for the consequences. Farm loans made in western Iowa at low- est rates.

The two little flower girls, Misses Jean Van Kuren and Ethel Pheips, held the white ribbons which formed the aisle. The bride was attired in _white corded silk crepe trimmed with silk lace and pearls, her veil of silk_and tulle having been worn by her sister, Mrs. Carpenter, eighteen years before. The rooms were profuscly decorated with green smilax and asparagus, white roses and American beauties. Messrs. Beach, Morgan and Stambaugh acted as ushers. At the conclusion of the ceremony a shower of roses from a floral bell suspended in the archway fell upon the heads of the happy bride and groom. There were more than 100 guests, many of whom were from a distance. Bach guest reccived a package of the wedding cake, together with a souvenir in the shape of a 'piece of Mrs. Carpenter's wedding cake, of the harvest of 1877. The gifts were tich and numerous. Mr. and Mrs. Butterfield havo already commenced housekeeping at their new home in Omaha, 3715 North Nine- teenth street. All the indications point to “Powhatan, the comic opera to be given at the New Dohaney the 18th and 19th, belng as much of a success, musically and socially, as the management promised when the opera was first arranged. The Woman's Christian asso- ciotion was fortunate in getting many of the more energetic class of Council Bluffs musicians and soclety people to assist, and while the time allotted to prepare the opera was short, the rehearsals went on, marked with enough vim and enthusiasm to insure the work being well in hand. Mr. W. C. Baker, the director, is indefatigable, and from carly 'In the morning until sometimes the next morning, he is busy with the principals, the chorus, or the ballet of little folks. Mr. Bugene Allen, who sings the title role, Powhatan, is well known to the musi- cal people of this city, and is well adapted, naturally, for the part he has to fill, which requires ‘an element of dignity that mo one else in the cast seems to have. Of course, Powhatan had a smooth face, and Mr. Al len’s characteristic moustache was lost about a week ago. Mrs. Simons, as Pocahontas, and Miss Bessie Stewart, as Laughing Star, are a ¢ upls of Powhatan's extremely interésting young daughters. The libretist has taken a good many libertles with history in this portion of the plot, but no one cares for history In a light opera, except, perbaps Mr. J. H. Simms of All’ Saint’s’ church, Omaha, who vlays Captain John Smith. Simms® fame as an amateur on the boards of his native "eath preceded him to this country, and his friends are watching his first transatlantic perform- ance with more than ordinary Interest, C. H. Judson, as Captain Rolfe, first name unknown, has ‘the “prettiest” part In the whole opera, and to say he can't fill it would be doing him a rank injustice, He is daily being congratulated by Allen, Trey. nor, Badollet et al on being cast for a part that permits a moustache to be worn. To hear some of the groans that go up, as ons by one the bays appear with smooth facos Is to understand why Judson Is in luck, W. S. Rigdon, as Panther, and O, B, Aitchigon, as’the Medicine Man, are respec- tively the heavy and light weight comedians of the company. They hope to be uncon- ventional, at least.

It will be a dressy affair, and one rule of the house will be for the ladies to remove their hats during the performance. Not that anyone will be put out of the house for not complying with the rule, but the management merely requests it. Friday night Mr." and Mrs. John T. Stewart gave a reception in honor of the new rector of St. Paul's church, Rev. Mr. McDonald, and his wife. A large number availed them- selves of this pleasant opportunity of meet- Ing Mr. and Mrs. McDonald. Light refresh- ments were served, Miss Stewart and Mrs. B. W. Hart presiding, and all the detalls of the reception were charmingly arranged. The invitation was a general one and many out- side friends joined with those of the parish in giving hearty welcome to the new rector and his wife. Mr. McDonald is the young- est rector which St. Paul's church ever had, he being but 81 years of age. Soclally he made the like favorable impression which marked his first appearance in the pulpit last Sunday. Mrs. Dr. Houghton gave an afternoon tea to about twenty ladies on Friday in honor of Mrs. Hewitt and Mrs. Keith. The social at the Congregational church parlors Friday evening was a very pleasant affair. One of the most enjoyable features of the evening was the singing of the qua tet, consisting of Messrs. Gould, Askin, Haverstock and Edwards, Mr. and Mrs. D. W. Otis entertained a few friends at dinner Thursday, giving them the pleasure of meeting Mrs. Hewltt of Des Moines and her daughter, Mrs, Keith of Sioux City, who have been visiting thelr old Council Bluffs friends for a few days. Mrs. Charles D. Parmalee also entertained a party of lady friends last week in honor of Mrs, Hewlitt and Mrs. Keith. Mrs, W, Watson of High street entertained a party of friends Thursday evening in honor of her guest, Miss Watson of Pennsylvania. A musical program, of which Miss Allle Haz- ard had charge, was charmingly rendered by Misses Clark, Witter, Hardell and Messrs. Rush, Rishel, Witter and others, after which dainty refreshments were served. Friday evening Miss Mary Anderson enter- tained a few of her friends at a pleasant party at her home on Ninth street in honor of her 1Sth birthday. Refreshments were served and an enjoyable evening spent. Those present were Miss Maud Manck of Omaha, Misses Anna Anderson, Hattle Golff, Stena Anderson, Mary Anderson, Emma Bretch, and Messrs Lawrence Castersen, James P. Jensen and J. Minnick. The reception and membership committees of the Y. M. C. A. met Friday night to or- ganize and plan for the winter's work. W. H. Luring, chairmen, presided. W. H. Nor- ton was elected secretary. The committee selected the first Friday of each monuth for regular business meetings. The committee is not as large as desired, and other members will be added.

M Griffith’s house at 209 East Pierce street, commonly knows as the “Bee Hive was the scene of a small blaze yesterday morning. The garret is packed full of every sort of bric-a-brac from a toothpick to a threshing machine, and the fire is supposed to have originated from spontaneous com- bustion, as it was located directly under the west gable when the fire department arrived. The damage only amounted to about $125. The excitement caused was much greater than the damage would indicate, however, for thero are nine widows and about nineteen unabridged families in the building. When the alarm was sounded the widows and the families commenced to emerge in squads and battalions from the various exits, while those left inside commenced to hurl cabinet organs and secretaries through the windows. Some little confusion was also added by the ap- pearance on the scene of a juvenile fire de- partment composed of the Keeline boys. The apparatus consisted of a wagon drawn by a goat, a ladder four feet long, and fifteen feet of garden hose. The goat grew nervous at the noise made by the falling of the cabinet organs and started to run away. The ap- paratus flew in all directions, and it was not until two of the boys jumped astride the goat and bore him down to earth that he al- lowed himself to be soothed.

'So he ran around through the alley and nipped Selly's pugilistic as- pirations in the bud by putting him under arrest. After breaking a water bucket and one or two other articles of vertu In the Jail he was locked up in the steel cell.

An Army Officer Who Had an Em ttooed on Hix Hreast. An Interesting story of the universality of Freemasonry, says the Washington Post, was related to a party of friends yesterday by a retired army officer, who was long stationed In the west. In the early part of the 70s Major Avery was captured by a band of Sitting Buli's warriors, who proceeded to have a Roman holiday by roasting him at the stake. Preliminary to this prospective barbe- cue, while the major was tied to a stake with the faggots all around him ready to be ig- nited, the young warriors experimented in hatchet throwing by whirling their toma- hawks through the air directly at Avery's head and body, just to see how near they could come to him without cutting off a lobe of his ear or some other redundant portion of his anatomy. While the majority of the bucks were thus enjoying themselves, a number of war- riors stood by appearantly watching the sport, Major Avery noticed one Indian standing a short distance from him Intently watching, not the play of the hatchet men, but ap- parently eyeing a Masonic mark tattooed on his naked. breast. ~ Avery concluded to tr the experiment of exasperating the savage 50 as induce him to bury his hatchet merci- fully in his brain, and began to call him all “the insulting names he could lay his tongue to in the Indian vernacular, but with- out making the least impression on the red skin. ~ After another close Inspection, the Indian joined the main group, and Avery noticed that a great dispute of some sort en- sved, in which the Indian referred to took a prominent part, The hatchet throwing was suspended, and by and by half a dozen Indians approached the stake, and to his infinite surprise, untied him and led him to one of the lodges, still securely bound, There he lay for several hours in frightful suspense, when at last the Indian opened the flap of the wigwam and cautiously crept up to his side. In a whisper he told him he was a Freemason, recognized him as a brother, and saved his life so far, but sentiment was against him, and unless the major embraced the only alternative open to him he would surely be executed the next day. The alternative was that he marry an Indlan girl and join the tribe, Rather than be served on toast, Indian fashion, Major Avery concluded to turn In- dian himseif, and so notified his brother Mason. That worthy drranged all the pre- liminaries as his bist man, even to the court- ing, and Avery became the son-in-law of Sitting Bull. For three years the major was as much an Indian as his dusky con- freres, and became the leader In half a dozen ralds on other ‘tribes and as many brushes that required a’display of nerve and involved bloodshed. In all that time he saw no chance to escape, ‘but an opportunity finally presented itself, and made his way ‘back to civilization. he FOou RIOUS CAVE. nr Discovery Made by an na Boy ‘While Swimming. Harry Washburn and Ray. Haymond, two young men of Waldron, Ind., made quite a discovery recently witle In bathing about an old mill dam near that place. On one side of this favorite resort of the small hoy, says the Indianapolis News, is a high, almost per- pendicular bluff; on the other a wooded val- ley, making it a 'very desirable place for bath- ing, and it is visited often by a majority of the male population of the town, both young and old. The water in the “swimmin’ hole" i3 from three to ten feet deep. IFrom sey- eral places in the bed of the river come forth +prings of almost fce-cold water that causes one to catch his breath as he swims over them. This makes it fascinating and gives one any kind of temperature desired. While they were enjoying themselves there, swim- ming, splashing and diving, Washburn made an unusual dive. After an absence of severa) minutes Haymond became alarmed and began a search for his friend. At first he thought it Singu was only a trick to frighten him, and that Wasnburn would come up at the last moment from some of the numerous secret recesses that the placa abounds in. ments flew by and Washburn But as the mo 0 did not appear ymond became more frightened, rushed (o © shore and made his toilet in' time that beats the record and started to town at bi- cyele speed. Just as he was climbing the railroad em- bankment that would give him the oppor tunity of signaling the town for aid he hear Washburn calling him. Turning about he saw him, perfectly nude, running along the bank of the river. He sccmed to be dazed and did not come to himself for an hour or more. He then told Ray that when he made his last dive he became fastened in one of tho crevices near the bluff, and in trying to extricate himself he passed through, and when he came to the surface he was sur- prised to find himself in a strange place, The light was dim and it took several min. utes to become used to it. He then Saw a sight that made bis blood run cold. Sitting standing and reclining in all pusitions were skeletons of animals long since extinet, The light by which he viewed the weird object was accumulated phosperous. He has no {dea as to tho size of the cavity he was in, The last thing he remembers fs that as his nerve and self-command returned to him he reached out his hand to possess himself of a wondgrful specimen, when a huge pile of bones” tumbled on to him, burying him be- neath the water and forcing him back through the opening he had accidentally dis- covered. He remembers no moro until he came to himself on the bank of the river. The experience passed through by these young men has caused much excitement and the place has been visited by hundreds of people. An effort will be made to explore this mysterious cave. e A Rusy Man.

For a hundred years to come there will be tales of treasure trove from that large sec- tion of the mid-south which was for three years of the civil war a debatable land, wherein, outside the army posts, there was no security of person or property. The in- vaders themselves, relates the New York Sun, had a pretty taste for looting, but they were nothing like S0 ra- pacious as the guerrillas, who plundered im- partially men of all sympathies, and as often sported blue and brass as the confederate gray. The guerrillas had, indeed, but a single active principle—pillage. Gold was at an enormous premium, and nearly all the rich agricultural country produced crops of cotton or tobacco, both equivalent to gold in the controlling European marts, The owners of such crops were in a way between the devil and the deep sea. It was extra hazardous to sell and hoard the proceeds, yet to undertake to store the produce was to invite the guerrilla’s ready torch. Then, too, the country swarmed with traders, so facile of conscience as not to turn a hair in swearing to support both the contesting gov- ernments three times in the same week. It was only by such facility that they managed to get what they bought, either north or south. ~ They gave liberal prices, enormous, indeed, on the face, when payment could be made In greenba It Kentucky bank notes were demanded by the seller, there was something of a reduction, but if the payment was In gold, prices went down, almost out of sight. Still, very many did insist on having gold, and found life a burden after they got it. The writer remembers, as a small child, the weeks of unrest that followed the coming into the house of a fat bag of double eagles in exchange for many hogsheads of tobacco In that time and place gold was more dan- gerous than dynamite. All the household heard with curdling blood tales of the tortures old men had endured during at- tempts to make them reveal the hiding place of their money. One, a family connection, had been strapped to a board, and held with his feet to a slow fire untii they were so crisped he never walked again; yet to the last he had kept stoutly silent.” Another had been swung up by the thumbs through- out a long cold night, with nothing on but the garments in which he had been dragged fiom bed. An old woman miser had been beaten raw and her wounds washed with vinegar. Indeed, every variety of torture that flendish ingenulty could devise was sald to have been practiced toward the un- happy possessors of hidden treasure. So It became a matter of firat importance to be able to say truthfully that you knew nothing of such a thing. Heads of families, of course, bore the brunt of questioning, an it was therefore determined that the smalles of the family should be intrusted with th task of secreting the gold. To this day it brings a thrill and creepy feelings up and down the spine to recall going out into the big wood alone, wandering there for an hour, and at last scrambling up a big hollow oak into an upper cavity of which a heavy sealed tin box was dropped, there to remain, un- touched, unwatched, until its contents could be sent by a sure hand to New York City for investment. That was a year later. In the interval, If by any chance sudden death hal come, the money would most likely be there yet, as the tree stood '~ the edge of a bit of marsh land that is ur ever to be cleared and cultivated. Sudden death did come in many cases. One old farmer, who had held thres years' crops until prices were at their highest, got $12,000 in the yellow metal, took it home and gave it to his wife, bidding her do the best she could with it. She was an easy-going, un- thrifty sort of body, and buried it in the gar- den In plain sight’ of everybody about the place, taking only the precaution to set a straggling rose bush on top of it, and, further, to put above the gold a bag of silver that she herself had saved up. That was Friday night. On Sunday the family all went to preaching. When they came home the rose tree lay up- rooted, the bag of silver was gons, and so were a wagon and team, besides a family of negroes. They had taken all their be- longings and so much of their master's, and rn away to the nearest feders| outpost, which was twenty miles of Pursuit was _useless and ~ would have been foolish, The farmer eyed the rifled hole a minute, then thrust his arm down into it, scratched about furiously, clutched something deeper down, and brought up the bag of gold The silver had saved the gold. The de- spoilers, finding it, had not thought to dig decper, | But the owner was not satisfied to trust his wife's hiding further. He was a Godly man, but, Sunday though it was, he swung the bag over his shoulder and tramped off into the woods. He did not come back until the night was well on and said nothing of what he had done with the money. He never sald anything, in fact. Six months later he was found dead in bed of heart disease, and, though his heirs have hunted ligh and low, have asked the help of the divining rod and consulted clairvoyants, to say nothing of having cleared up the wood- lands and dug over almost the whole 1,000- acre farm, to this day they have never found a of the lost money. & “l;fipmp(r it waits for a luckier hand or has shared the fate of another bag of treasure, no man of them can say. This second bag was buried by its owner and his son deep in the woods at the side of a fallen tree. The place was far from any road, but a footpath wound not twenty yards away. Every night the head man of a neighboring plantation force passed along it to his wife's house upon an adjoining farm. The negro was smart and shrewd and had been marvellously faithful. He was so still to his master, whose secret places he kuew. These he left untouched, but something prompted him to look by the fallen tree. When he had found what was there he gathered up wife and children, ran off to the fort and went from there to Louis- ville, where he bought a house and lot and paid for them in gold. But, though the man who had lost the gold came to know all these things, he was unable to say that the money in the darky's possession came out of his bag, o that astute person lived and died unmolested, and left to his children the increment of his find. Still another 0ld farmer, who could neither read nor write and had a rooted distrust of all but the hardest of hard money, found him- self possessed of nearly all his ready cash at once, as the people to whom he had lent in times of peace seemed possessed of a sudden and simultancous desire to pay their debts. The uncertain tenure by which money was held perhaps contributed something fo the access of honesty, but however it came about the result was the same, the old man and bis wife had a heap more money In hand than it was either safe or convenient to Keep. Banks there were none, and private borrow- ers of undoubted stability were scarcer than white blackbirds. The old man was rheu- matlc and could barely hobble about the house, He could not bear to think of put- ting his money so far away that he could not keep watch over it, and yet to dig treshly was to invite suspicion. He had a big back yard with a high plank fence around it. Al at once he began to bemoan its treeless condition. It was a schame, he said, he had always meant to set it out with elms and maples, If it was to be done, he reckoned he had better get about it before he died of old age. So there was a great pother of men and wagons going out to the woods and digging young trees, which, a little later, they planted in straight rows all through the grassy yard. Nothing went under the trees, of that'the black men were positive. They swore to the fact a month after when a guerrilla captain sneered suspiciously at the old man's sudden desire for shade. In proof, their master bade them take up & tree or two. Nothing was found, and the guerrillas rode away grumbling, after ransacking the house and taking a few hundred dollars it contained.

By advice of friends 1 took a course of treatment with the Copeland and Shepard specialists and found it to be incomparably superior to any other system which I had er from to the symptoms the world was going well, some one asked a loan of the old man. He sat on the little porch jealously watching his young trees, which had begun to grow vigorously. He sighed as he looked, and said, without turn- ing his head: ‘L hate ter kill 'em—but thar ain't no other way,” and then he told the wondering borrower how in the war time, after the trees were set, with only his wife's help, he had dug up half of them and put bags of coin at the root before replanting. The coin was there still, and it cost him a pang to know that in reclaiming it he must destroy the green sentinels who had guarded it so well, Another man buried a pot of gold in a rickety barn, then set fire to the structure, being certain that nobody would think of rummaging in the ashes. And still another put $50,000 in gold and grebnbacks in the earthen floor of his smoke house, and let ft stay there five years, not daring to take it out until reconstruction was pretty well ac- complished. One of his neighbors, the thriftiest man in the county, was known to hav of his cellar, but to have grown distrustful of that hiding place, and so to have chosen another. Where the other was located never camo out; the man who chose it was secr tive, and did not tell even his only son. By and by he was stricken speechless and motionless at a time when he looked good for years of life. He did live s months, and throughout them he made de perate efforts to tell his secret, but all in vain, It is still a secret—except as to a few thousand dollars which his grandson found twenty years after under the rock pillars of an old corn crib. In numerous cases money was hidden in open fields, and the land plowed over to hide the fresh ‘earth. Then it was necessary in some unobtrusive way to mark the exact spot, or the hider would be none the beiter of saving himself from robbery. Somctimes the mark was a pecullarly shaped stone, sometimes a bit of iron, such as a worn-out plough point or king bolt, which might read- ily be left afield. More commonly it was a thin rod of hard wood capped with metal, or, better still, an old ramrod, driven into the carth above pot or jar, and left standing an inch above ground. One wise woman raised several broods of chickens which she declared later ought to be called golden pheasants, as they were all hatched in the fence cornier nest under which she had hidden by night a half-gallon fruit jar full of gold. Another wore ragged shoes and homespun frocks, and busied herself with spinning and weaving more to save herself from the suspicion of having money in hand, and all the time had $3,000 in a belt around her waist. It belonged to orphans for whom her husband was guardian, and while he was away fighting for the confederacy, she had no mind he should be made out faithless to | his trust. A third astounded her neighbors by developing great style in her hair dress- ing. She wore every day the cumbrous cush- ions then known colloquially as “rats,” and | it was not until years after that anybody came to know how she had worn for 80 many months a crisp new $100 greenback in the heart of each rat. Caves and crannfed banks abounded, but folks were, in_the main, shy of them. Th black people knew them by heart; besides, they were such likely hiding places that they were sure of search upon general principles. Though the negroes were as a class miracu- lously faithful to their owners, there was a | taint of suspicion against them all. You could not trust any, indeed, in face of the fact that those who were most trustworthy, judging by the past, often ran off upon no provocation whatever, and those who were trusted least stayed and proved themselves towers of strength and help. Among the blacks it was certainly the unexpected which | happened. Cynical owners came at the last to say, laughing as they noted extra good con- duct: “Hallo, Ned, or Tom, or Jack, or Bill, you must be fixin' to go to the Yankees; never saw you so smart before In your life."” obody thought of hiding money in a awelling house above the ccllar, for there was always the chance that guerrillas might burn it to hide their plundering, or soldiers, in re- taliation for bushwhacking shots. Watches, plate, jewelry, valuable miniatures, and heir- looms of small size were hermetically sealed in glass or metal and given in charge of some especlally trusted friend. Then the owner could take oath that he knew nothing of their whereabouts, the possessor that he owned nothing of the sort, For the most part the plain people were %o scrupulous and God- fearing that even the roughest of the rough ASTHMA IS CURED TLED AND SETTLED FOREVI yalelans Now Frankly Conceding s Final Mastery by the Method—Treatment Not Fr nnl L f iron in beefsteak, | zes | | ment two v | astima | dise i | my system so’ complete { H. put a very large sum in the rock walls [ Capt.

One such collection of valuables spent an itinerant existence, vibrating betwixt a sweet potato hill in winter, a beehive in early spring, and an empty flower pot the rest of the year. It was this way of hiding things in the most unlikely places that led the des spollers to such ransacking and overturning of all things. They smashed preserve jars not to get at thelr edible contents, but to sea it there was not a valuable sediment, probed pickle tubs, and lard barrels—even overset pot plants and knocked them to bits. Fop this, too, they ripped up upholstered furniture and smashed planos, scattered feather beds to the winds, and ripped the linings from quilted garments. Of course they had some pleasure in the wanton destruction, but for much the larger part of it the motive was robbery, e —
