thrown upon the dashboard of her carriage

that they do not believe there was culpable
neglect, but owing 10 the discovery that there
was no street where the accident happened.
The Manswa road cuts across lots at the
point, and although II has been used as a
public highway for years It is on private
property, where II is intersected by the newly
opened Twenty-third avenue. This would give
the city a perfect defense and leave the plain

annual reunion with a clOuded canopy over
hanging this vicinity, and as the day pro-
gressed rain began to fall, and continued un-
til about . o'clock. When it cleared up the
sun came out warm and soon dried up the
streets. People began to pour in by the hun
dreds from 10 o'clock, and until 3 p. m. Several
hundred people were kept away on account Of
the rain who had to come from afar. Good
judges of large crowds estimated the atten-
dance at $500 people. The grand parade
scheduled for $3.50 a. m. was postponed un-
til l o'clock p. m, starting from the camp
grounds. Adjutant L. p. Brown was in COM
mand and headed the procession. Then came
Mendel's drum corps, eight small boys, aged
from S to IA years, Prof. Kings Minor club

cornet band in full uniform, the Nicola vol
unteer fire department No. 1 and Council
Bluffs High School Cadets in full military
uniform, commanded by Captain Seaman,
with McFadden's drum corps, while a long
line of old soldiers brought up the rear, some
carrying clubs to represent guns. Hugh
Bowling, an old veteran, carried upon his
shoulder a rooster to represent the eagle.
They were followed by the Knights of Pythias
Crystal lodge of Carson with their banners
flying, with Avoca Knights of Pythias Crys-
tai lodge close in their rear, the parade being
about four blocks long.
The procession marched through the prin-
cipal streets with band and drum corps play

returned to the grounds, where they listened
to a most patriotic address delivered by Hon.
Frank Shinn, the only speaker present who
had promised to speak. Hon. A. L. Hager

we're on the program, but failed to appear.
The balloon ascension, due for 1870, was

The effect most desired in a Folding Bed
Is that 1t shall be anything but a bed by
day and nothing but a bed by night.
Step by step we have improved II at both
these points, and the Folding Bed as now
perfected is a triumph OF ingenuity.
By night it is a full fashioned, luxurious
bed with not the slightest suggestion Of the
"cabined, cribbed, confined" berth above it.
The sides are open their entire length, and
the bed could not be detected from a regu-
lar bedstead. Furthermore, In this bed there
is a perfect system Of ventilation through
out the day, and this removes the last pos
sible objection to a folding bed.
In the day time when this bed is made
up" its owner would not be able to recog-
nize it.
Buy no folding bed Of any make until you
have personally examined our beds. Prices
from so to $50.

NATURES CRUELTY.
The Ichncumon Fly Makes It's Natural
Enemy Serve Its Purpose.

Tho Ichncumon Fly Makes It's Natural
Enemy Serve Its Purpose.
Tho ichneumon fly of Ceylon is the
natural enemy of the spider. This insect
is green in color and in form resembles
"a wasp with marvelously thin waist.
IL makes its nest Of well worked clay
and then goes ON hunting expedition.
Its victims are invariably spiders Of va
rious kinds, hut all are subject to tho
same mode of treatment A scientific
sting injects some poison, which effec-
tually paralyzes the luckless spider,
who is then carried Off to the nest and
there fastened with a dab Of moist clay
Another and another victim is brought
TO this chamber Of horrors. Then the
president mother ichneumon fly proceeds
to deposit her eggs, one in the body of
each spider, which can just move its
legs in q vague, aimless manner, but
can offer no resistance.
This done, the fly returns to her work
as a mason. She prepares more clay and
builds up the entrance to this CHASTITY
cell. Then she commences new CELL
which she furnishes in like manner and
then closes; then she adds yet another
cell, and so proceeds until her store Of
eggs are all provided for, and her task
in life being accomplished she dies,
leaving her evil brood to hatch at lei
sure In due time these horrid little
maggots come to life and find them
selves graded in larder of fresh meat.
Each poor spider is still alive, and his
juices afford nutriment for the ichneu-
mon grub till it is ready to pass in the
chrysalis stage, thence TO emerge as a
winged fly fully prepared to carry ont
the traditions of its ancestors with re-
gard to spiders. Ashton Reporter.

AN AMUSING ADVENTURE.
A stupid Corporal, an Embarrassed Colo
mel and a Tactful Woman.


A superior officer Of the B. garri-
SON was some time ago the hero Of a
most amusing adventure. Colonel z
had received from Nine. " an in
vitation to dinner, but on the day ap-
pointed, and just as he was about to
start. he was seized with q violent at
tack of neuralgia and decided to forego
the pleasure in store for him. The colo
rel wrote a letter Of apology, called his
orderly and said:
Guy, you will give this letter to
Nine v and then go and fetch me
my dinner. "
Here the plot commences. Guy set
of after carefully secreting the letter
ia his breast pocket along with his to-
bacco pouch. He arrived at Nine.
VS.. delivered his message and
,.ood as rigid as a statue. The lady of
the house was surprised and inquired
what no was waiting for. Guy replied:
''The colonel told me to fetch him
his dinner. "
Nine. V saw the mans mistake,
gave certain orders, and the servants
handed the faithful linesman set of
dishes emitting fragrant odors. More
over. Nine. v slipped a half bottle
of champagne into the soldiers pocket
and said;
you will serve this to the colonel at
dessert. "
Guy came back, and, upon my word,
the restaurant seemed to have provided
such host Of good things that the colo
mel got up and took his seat at the table.
Over the soup he slowly began to recover
his appetite, to his no small surprise.
The side dishes made him quite raven
Gus, with the entrees his pain disap-
peared, he was stupefied at the roast
meat and dumfounded at the game, and
still his wonder grew at the marvellous
dishes supplied by his chophouse keeper.
At the dessert the orderly, obeying his
instructions, set the bottle Of champagne
on the table He was asked for an ez-
PLANTATION, when everything came out.
The colonel in despair thought the mat
ter over and then gave his orderly 10
francs, telling him to buy bunch Of

Nine. v. Then our colonel, salts
fed that he had done his best under the
trying circumstances, settled down in
an easy chair and composed himself to
sleep. An hour and half later the door
opened, and Guy walked in and gravely
deposited two 8 franc pieces ON the ia
BILE. The colonel questioned him with
some anxiety.
"The lady paid for the nosegay, I"
said the honest warrior, apparently well
pleased with the general turn of affairs.
Nine v, ON receiving the bou-
quet, had given the soldier francs by
way Of tip, on receiving which the
latter simply replied:
1T isn't francs, please, ma'am; it
is 10 francs. "
Colonel Z was confined to his bed
for three days, to the great alarm of the
whole Of the garrison. -Progres Illustre.

SHE SPOKE TOO SOON.


In front Of Trinity church a stylishly
dressed young woman stepped from the
sidewalk directly in front Of a team Of
heavy horses attached to well loaded
truck. She was endeavoring to catch the
eye Of cable car gripman and did not
see the rapidly moving truck bearing
down upon her. Passersby expected to
ace her ground 10 earth, but one of two
fashionably appearing young fellows
with slightly dudish proclivities rushed
to the curb, and lifting the woman by
the arms quickly swung her around and
landed her out Of danger ON the side
walk.
She, all unconscious Of her dangerous
predicament, turned on the young man
sharply with an indignant How dare
yon, sir" and looked as if she were
contemplating an assault ON him with
her parasol
The young fellow looked surprised.
and then, taking Off his hat, bowed and,
with an Excuse me, madam" passed
on with his friend.
She turned toward the street again
and for the first time observed the
truck, which now stood in her path.
The driver Of this calmly remarked;
THAT dude saved your life. lady. Why
don't you scratch his eyes out?''
The woman. for the first time realiz-
ing her narrow escape, hurried after the
rapidly disappearing youths. who had
nearly reached Rector street by that
time. Touching her rescuer's arm, she
quickly apologized for her rudeness and
thanked him for his timely act.
Don't mention it, please. The pleas
uro is entirely mine. l assure you, F"
was the response. Two hats were dotted,
and the blushing woman was left ON the
sidewalk with humiliating sense of
her previous rudeness.

disappeared in the arcade leading to the
