The Coon, and the Clam and the Hare.

Ihe COOh, anu tne VIdWl ANU ue Uo'o'
A Clam, who was taking ramble
over the meadows one day, met a
Hare, and after remarking that
winter would soon be here, he added:
ooh, by the way, wanted to shy
that l don't believe in Christianity"
"You don'tr'
"No, nor In the Bible"
''Is it possibleT'
"And ] may as well add that !
have become an intidel."
"Dcar, dear mel" gaspcd the
Hare, and with tears in her eyes she
argued and coaxed and pleaded and
reasoned with the Clam to change
his views. She was still wasting her
breath when along came the Coon
and called out:
"Good-day to both. Why these
tears, Mrs. Harc?"
The Hare explained, and the Coon
turned to the Clam and inquired:
SIS it true that you do not believ
in q God or a hereafter"
"Strictly true" was the reply.
"And what if you don't!" con-
tinued the Coon. "You are simply
ono Clam out of billions. What you
believe or don't believe won't affect
even one blade of grass nor disturb
one grain of sand. Please shoulder
your opinions and move out of the
path. "-Detro6 Free Press.

Bair and Maud s,

The story tonight is that Mr.. Wander
bilt is dissatisfied with Bair, the trainer
of Maud s., and ordered him to CONF
back to New York. In the opinion of
the public it will be a great pity if Mr..
Vanderbilt should bring Maud s. home
for his own use, as he talks Of doing,
before she has been put to the limit of
her powers this season. There is a story
that her present record wa by no means
all she could have done on the day she
made it. Bair was told to make her do
her best at Rochester, and her send
her home. But he wanted to wait
until the circuit horses should reach
Hartford, as he believed that
to be a faster track. He intended to Just
drop within her record of 2:1OY, if posi-
Bile, without going so fast that her owner
would be satisfied that she had done her
utmost, and so obtain permission to take
her to Hartford, where she would have
the most favorable conditions for great
speed. She trotted in 2:10l, but then
anne the accident to her hind leg, which
threw her out of training. Now she
seems to have more speed than ever, and
if left in her trainers hands it is more
than likely that 2:10 will be left behind,
although to do that a horse must go to
the half-mile pole in Los, and come home
just as fast as no went there.

A SOLDIER.

Mr.. @. F. Bowles, OF No. "a, Common Street Lynn,
Mass, says:
"While in the army, at the battle of Spottsyl-
vania, l fell while getting over a rail-fence and
was badly injured and left for dead, but after
a time l was picked-up by comrades, and upon
examination it was found that my back was
badly hnrt and my kidneys seriously injured,
and ! have suffered the most excruciating pain
since, and conld obtain no relief although
treated by several physicians, and 1 had given
up all hopes of getting help when I was re-
commended to use HINTS remedy. I pur-
chased several lottles at one of our drug stores
in Lyp-, and began to use it as directed, and
o-n nov attend to business and am free from
the pains I formerly had; and l wish to say to
my friends and comrades that Hunts Remedy
will do all that it is claimed for it, and worthy
of all praise. You can use my testimony when
you have occasion to, as l most heartily re.
commend it to all that have kidney or liver
troubles"

COUNCIL BLUFFS.
ADDITIONAL LOCAL NEWS.
THE POWDER HOUSES.
Will They be Forced Outside the
City Limits?

The informations filed against those
who have powder houses inside the city
limits were a short time ago dismissed,
the understanding being some change
would be made in their location. The
ordinance provides that they shall be To-
Gated on some site which the mayor and
chief engineer of the fire department
shall approve. Since the complaints have
been made the agents here holding pow
der have been in correspondence with
their houses, and have decided
to get some piece of land which
the official may approve of, and
build their powder houses together
on that site, but the council has
in the meantime by resolution declared
that the houses shall not be anywhere in
side the city limits, and as the limits take
in the whole township, it virtually drives
these powder houses into some other
township, where they will find it difficult
indeed to make any terms, as these outside
towns care little about commencing or
protecting Council Bluffs business, hav-
ing naturally more Interest Ill tnelr OWN
immediate neighborhood, The powder
men will also be subjected to great incon-
%vience, as they are not allowed to carry
but a little stock at their places of bust
ness, and they are practically driven
out of the city, so far as that
part of their business is concerned.
1t seems that somewhere inside the
limits of Kane township there might be
found some spot where the property
would not be injured, or life endangered
by any possible explosion, but it is claimed
there is none. Most folks feel very skit-
fish about being in the vicinity of a pow
der house, even though it is securely
built, and every possible %precaution is
taken against accident. The late storms,
with the sharp lightning, which has
characterized them, has caused the
nerves to be on the tightest tension and
further informations are being filed tc
again drag the matter into the courts
The cases called up yesterday have beer
continued for two weeks.

A Monkey In a Bag of Cocoanuts.

Philadelphia Record.
p. M. O'Connell, dealer in confec-
TONERS supplies, was surprised yesterday
afternoon, while e~mptying a bag of cocoa
nuts, to find nestled among the hard
shells a grinning monkey of diminutive
size. The little fellow rose from his
c%rouching position and began to chatter
in a lively manner. His dark, bead like
eyes fairly sparkled. With surprising
agility he sprang from the bag and scram-
bled about the floor, as though enjoying
the freedom. He was captured and
placed in a cage. A few days ago the
schooner Ella A. Warren arrived in port
from Meyoguez, Porto Ricco, with a large
cargo of cocoanuts in bags. Usually
theya re brought in bulk, but in this in
stance bags were used. From this lot
Mr.. O'Connell made his purchases. Evil
IDENTIFY the little fellow, imbued with the
curious prying disposition of the monkey
tribe, ventured into the bag while it was
being filed in his native cline. How he
escaped being crushed to death when the
bags were thrown promiscuously into the
hold of the vessel, ard also when the
vessel was discharged at this port, is a
mystery. The nuts provided him with
meat and drink during the voyage. A
number of them in the bag in which he
was imprisoned had been gnawed open
and the contents eaten by his monkey
ship. The voyage occupied about ten
DAYS.
