nue. surface road were paid OFF to-day Super
intendent Newell has advertised for new

OF the belt line left work at 1 p. IN. They com
plain of discharges on frivolous preteXtS, and

ten hours daily without eating or rest. A

A Fruitful VINEYARD.

1t cannot be said that this is not fruit
country so far as grapes are concerned.
One of the finest vineyards in the west is
owned by Mr.. Alexander Wood, and is
located just outside of Council Bluffs.
Mr.. Wood has eight acres IN his vineyard
all under the best cultivation. He has
been engaged IN the business for ten
years, and has had great deal of expe-
rrence with different varieties. The Con
cord and Warden grapes are about as
near perfection as any fruit can be, being
large and very sweet and juicy. For sew
eral years Mr.. Wood has been supplying
this market with grapes, one firm, Branch
d Co, paying him as high as 81 400 in a
single season for grapes. Mr.. Wood
knows how to pack grapes for the market,
selecting only the large, perfect lunches
and putting them up in baskets, with his

AN INSANE HOSPITAL.
What Commissioner Timme Thinks
% .... ...r. .a. a.. About 1t. .


"The people of this county," said Com
missioner Timme last evening, will
make great and grave mistake if they
do not assent to the proposition to build a
county hospital for the insane"
"How's that?' asked reporter who
was standing near.
Simply because the way things are
running the county incurs big RESPONSE
bility. l mean in allowing the insane
patients to be mixed up with the other
inmates of the poor house. 1t is abso
lutely dangerous to do so. Some of these
insane patients are frantic at times, and
comparatively unconiined as they
are, there is no telling what
they may do. Why they are
liable to set the house on fire, or kill
some of the other inmates of the place.
For these and other reasons that 1 could
name. there is great necessity for this
hospital. The fact is that the county
will have to increase room next year
anyway, and unless this measure is
passed, will have to erect a temporary
ward or structure as il did last year"

New York. August 24.-l Special Telegram

FOUNDER. She will sail about Monday next.
The statement of American officers of the
North Atlantic squadron, who have been
visiting the fishing grounds, contained in
Portland dispatch TO the effect that the do
minion government had taken Captain
Quigley, of the Terror, in hand for being
too severe on American fisherman, has no
foundation. 1t is true that the government
was investigating the matter Captain Scott
had spent all day at that very work,
but had found that Captain Quigley did
not exceed his duty in any particular,
and that none but general instructions
had been given him and no new
orders had been issued to him. The amount
of it is that American fishermen have been
allowed to do about as they liked; Ihey
came down TO Canadian ports and traded
without even reporting at the custom house,
and violated the law in many other ways.
On account of the treaty the enforcement
of customs regulations have been very lax,
and this state of affairs has been going on
so long that Americans bave come to look
upon these privileges rs vested rights and to
imagine that there are no laws OF CANADA
that they are bound to respect. Not long ago
Captain Scott was talking with q man who

during the whole period had he boarded an

rich Islands: "rhe people OF the United
States have a very imperfect idea of the
Sandwich islands. The old native popu.
lation is dying out and a sturdor and
more active people are taking their
places. The trade of Honolulu is sub
stantially increasing. There are over
seven hundred American residents there,
all of whom are engaged in paying in
dustries. My father was one of the old
forty miners of California, and after a
residence there of some years he went to
Honolulu where he has remained ever
since. He is intimately acquainted
with King Kallakua and he has
been American consul for some time
and has represented several American
interests there ever since he took up his
residence on the Sandwich Islands. The
climate there is elegant in every way.
We have no extremes of temperature,
the mercury never rising above 76 de-
grees in summer, and the entire winter is
very similar to your Nebraska autumns."

a Denial.

A gentleman who for some time back
has been connected with the Belt line,
denies that any person has any contract
to show that the Belt Line company de-
cided for a consideration to locate a
depot on its line ut Walnut. 1t is also
denied that the line received any con-
cession in the price of the land winch it
designed for depot purposes at that
place, while it is equally strongly
claimed that the line paid for the prop
erty in question more than has been for
adjacent property under condemnation.
There are, II is stated, couple of acres
whom the land was purchased by the
company, desired to receive back from
the latter at their original price. But
the desire was not gratitied and the same
is still IN the possession of the Belt Line
company.

Sad Fate of the Great Eastern.

London Letter: AS we steamed down
the Mersey three days ago on our way
toward the open sea, there arose before
us, towering over the entire jungle Of
shipping like some giant ''locustwood"
above the lesser trees of a South Ameri-
can forest, a vast black hull, crowned
with six masts and four smoke-stacks,
beside which Nelson's s.atelicst three
decker would have seemed no bigger
than Yacht Twenty-seven years ago
that huge inert mass was the talk and
wonder of Europe and in very deed the
"iloating city, which Jules Verne styled
her in one of his most brilliant romances
Thousands of men looked forward exult-
ingly to the time when she should carry
across the ocean whole armies at once,
and should reyolutionze all the estab
lished conditions of modern transport
But now, having fallen far short of the
splendid promise of her youth, and
achieved only the gloomy .renown of a
magnificent failure, the Great Eastern
has sunk into gigantic advertisement Of
a well known Liverpool store, whose gilt
lettered announcements glitter upon
every part of her towering sides and
dome-like paddle-boxes.
