The Board of County Supervisors con-
tinued their session yesterday and transacted

1000; surveyor $1,000; superintendent of

universal kindness and consideration toward
the other members Of the board and testify
ing to their appreciation of his high character.
The matter with reference to the cancella-
tion Of the taxes upon what Is known as
"Overton's Mission" was brought up. The
city council cancelled the taxes on the prop
erty some time ago, but after consideration
the board came to the conclusion that 1t was
private property and consequently not eX-
empt from taxation. They refused to ratify
the previous action of the council.
j, l., Foreman, overseer of the poor, re-
ported that he had expended 1916. IA since the
last meeting. His report was adopted and

tain members OF the board in accepting
~, 209,B0 as payment in full Of all taxes due

CLOUD ON LUNA,s FACE.
Total Eclipse of the Moon Due Next
SUNDAY

A total eclipse of the moon is to occur on
Sunday evening, November 10, visible more
or less to Europe, Asia, Africa, the Atlantic
ocean, North and South America, and the
eastern part of the Pacific ocean, which will
be a spectacle well worth observing, and one
particularly interesting to the general pub
lie. Over the western portion of the United
States tho eclipse will begin in the after
noon, before the moon appears above the
horizon, snd the phenomenon, when first
visible, will be well advanced, the moon rls-
ing immersed in the shadow of the earth,
ana appearing dimmed, as If covered with a
dark veil. But as the total phase will be
quite generally visible throughout the coun-
try at q convenient hour il the evening, the
eclipse will occur under favorable conditions
for all to observe the imposing spectacle, and
it may be seen to excellent advantage should
the sky be clear and the weather pleasant. 1t
will also be the privilege of observers to view
the exhibition without any optical assistance
whatever, and a telescope will not be re-
Quired, for an eclipse of the moon may be
seen just as well, if not even better, by the
naked eye, and all Will be able to witness
the S pectacle with advantages equal to those
enjoyed by the professional astronomer In
his well-equipped observatory.
The coming eclipse, says the Minneapolis
Tribune, should no clouds obscure the sky,
promises to be the most interesting celestial
event of the year, and, occurring as it does on
Sunday evening, when most persons, re-
lieyed from business cares, will have an op-
portunity to enjoy the spectacle, it will
dou btless be observed with unusual interest
throughout the entire country. For the
benefit of those who would like TO observe
the eclipse we give the time of its various
phases, which will occur in Minneapolis,
meridian or local time, as follows:
Moon enters penumbra. ............ 400 p. M.
Moon enters unlbra, or shadow ..... sos D. m.
Total eclipse begins $50 p. m,

The condition Of the drama in Council
Bluffs, past, present and future, as viewed
by the organization which has been trying to
run the opera house. has a far different look
when viewed through the eyes of Mr.. Do
hany, the veteran manager and owner of the
building. He does not appear at oil alarmed
at the threat that If he does not release the
organization from its lease it will keep the
opera house closed for the rest of the season.
When asked by n reporter what he intended
to do he had little to say beyond the state
ment that the company could close the house
If it saw fit, but it would of course be respon-
sible for oil damages resulting.
He has made the company what he deems
a very generous proposition, by which ne
will resume the management, but the com
pany has not seen fit as yet to either accept
or reject it.
In regard to the securing of attractions the
date book and CORES pondence are cited as
evidences that it was through Mr.. Dohany's
influence and endeavorS that nearly every
one OF the best attractions bad been booked,
and that some companies absolutely refused
to come here unless under his management
Mr.. Dohany has numerous reasons for not
feeling that the pathway Of an opera house
manager is strewn with roses. When some
years ago lie yielded to the public Clamor for
a new opera house, he was assured by a COM
mittee of citizens that he would receive a
bonus of $4,000. There was Only 81, 400 real
lied from the subscription, and some of that
came only by the pinch of lawsuits. Instead
OF the city piling and protecting the creek
bank, it neglected to do anything but make
good promises, until a heavy flood came,
washing away the rear of his buildingand
causing a damage Of several thousand dol
lars. Then, his attempts to provide attrac-
lions have been so poorly sustained that it
has been only by care and economy that eX-
penses have been met. The citizens
who have spent several thousand dollars in
discovering that there is no morev in
running the opera house, now threatens to
close it unless he takes it off their hands on
their own terms. This is the way the situa-
tion appears from Mr.. Dohany's standpoint.
He is an old citizen, and has not only in
vested his all here but has been carrying
heavy financial burdens in endeavoriug to
build up Council Bluffs" Those who are
shouting this cry so vigorously should be the
first to give him just consideration and en-
cOuragement.

Clever Japanese Rogues who Can steal
Fifty Cents from an Eagle.
The methods of the japanese, who,
fer the purpose of defrauding the gov
eminent. will spend days on the scoop
ing out of a small silver coin, which he
eventually fills with baser metal, art
much improved on in these progressive
days. A large number of short weight
gold coins are in circulation, and the
frequency with which they are met
with has led to Investigations which
show that there has been for some time
a systematic scheme for robbing the
government by stealing metal from the
coins.
Some years ago a series of tests were
made by the government for the pur
pose of defining he actual loss by
abrasion in the mocing Of gold coins
It was found that FIVE dollars was lost
by abrasion every time $1,000. 600 il
gold coin was handled. Bags con
tanning $, 900 each were lifted TO 2
truck TO be removed 10 another vault
and the mere lifting Of the 200 bag
caused the loss stated. and their trans
fer from the truck again made a second
similar loss.

"The story Of the Chicago knights
Templar who barred their arms TO the
surgeons knife that the life Of a brother
knight might be saved through skin
grating is an interesting one, said a
gentleman the other morning, but il
is doubly interesting to one who has
passed through the ordeal. According
to accounts the skin was removed from
the arms of the Chicago knights by the
aid of a razor. 1t was not so in my
case. The surgeon on that occasion
used a pair of scissors.
About four years ago an intimate
friend of mine was burned by an explo-
sion In a steel mill. The wounds were
not dangerous, but owing TO their pc
culiar nature healed very slowly. He
tretted under the necessary confine-

wise a friend, remarked that the patient
could be greatly benefited by skin graft

for the next day was made, and was
kept by the physician and me alone.
