The Enchanted Mesa" in New Mex
leo has long been an object of myster-
ious interest. The Indians have a
legend that il was, hundreds Of years
ago, inhabited, but one day the rock
ladder or path to the top was destroyed
by food, leaving some Of the inhsbi-
tants on the summit, while the others
we're working in the fields in the plains
below. The latter we're unable to sgain
scale the Mesa and could only hear the
cries of their perishing countrymen on
the summit. OF course it was no
trouble for the white man to climb the
Mesa when he gave his mind to it.
The other day Prof. Libby of Princeton,
by means of a United States life saving
service gun, fred a cord 5000 feet long
oyer the top of the Mesa, then man
climbed up along the rope and Prof
Libby and others went up $50 feet in a
travelling chair as people are brought
ashore from wreck. When the top Of
the Mesa was reached, no traces Of the
persisted Indians we're found save sOmt
breastworks they may have thrown NJ
a thousand years ago. There we're No
remains either Of human creatures OF
babitatiOns. There we're flowers wav
ing in the wind, and of these a grea
collection was made, with the hop
that they may tell something Of thr
age of the Mesa.

The report that the poisonous Mexican
loco weed had appeared near Crescent and
Honey Creek stations and was killing horses
by the wholesale has wrought up the citizens
of that vicinity to a great extent. Farmers
who are living there and engaged in rails
ing and selling hay are holding nightly in
dignatlon meetings declaring that the loco
weed is not there and that no horses have
been poisoned by it and denouncing the
men who have been circulating the story.
L. S. AXtell of Honey Creek, one of the lat
ter, has gone to some trouble to show that
the weed, whatever it may be called, is
surely responsible for the death OF number
OF horses. He gathered number of sam
pies OF 1t and sent them to Prof. Pammel
chief botanist at the experiment station con-
nected with the Iowa Agricultural college
at Ames, and asked to have them analyzed.
Yesterday he furnished Mayor Carson with
copy of the reply he had received from
Prof. Pammel, who says that the weed is
the genuine rattle-boX crotalaria sagitals
which is known to be poisonous to horses.
He urges the farmers to unite for it's eXter-
minaton, but asks Mr.. AXtell to save about
forty specimens of the perfect plant with
matured seed pods and send them to the
station for further Investigation

from the city authorities denying them the
privilege to sell their hay on the market

BOOMING THE EXPOSITION.
Council Bluffs People Proceed to Com
pIctc Their OrEnnizntiOn.


pIctc Their Organization.
The adjourned meeting to perfect the Or
ganization OF the Council Bluffs Transmits
sissippi Exposition association called out a
large attendance last evening. There was
considerable interest apparent in the work
of selecting the big executive committee
that will have the directing management
OF the association. This interest assumed
the form OF a strong personal feeling on
the part of some of the gentlemen present
and there was a good deal of wrangling as
to the methods to be followed in selecting
the members of the committee.
The original committee OF five. which was
instructed at the previous meeting, to pave
the way for a solution of the problem of
getting an executive committee OF fifty mem
bers, presented list OF 100 names and
recommended that the meeting select another
list OF 100. This suggestion was followed and
the names We're selected and written upon
large sheet OF paper posted on the wall.
IL required some more time, and a confusing
number OF motions and amendments before a
plan was decided upon. 1t was then agreed
that the meeting vote for five sets OF names
OF ten each, to be selected from the 200
suggested. The ballot was secret, and II
required a long time to do the voting. The
ballot for the fist ten showed that several
hundred names had been presented and
voted upon, and that just one hour had
been devoted to the work, This put
a decided damper upon the ardor OF the
gentlemen present, who desired to secure a
place upon the committee, and a motion to
reconsider and choose another plan was made
and carried 1t was decided that the first
ten elected should constitute a committee
to choose the remaining forty, with instruc-
tions that they select men representing the
greatest number OF important industries and
interests and report the names selected
through the newspapers, The result OF the
ballot showed that the ten elected were #.

men getting the same number OF votes
These were all thrown into a hat and Mayor

then adjourned without fixing date for an

various Reasons Assigned by BUSH
ness Men Interviewed.
SIOUX FALLS S. D., Aug 3.-(Special.)-
Reports received here and printed in a
local paper, from 300 merchants in South
Dakota, giving their own statements, show
that their business for the first six months
of the present year has increased from 10
to 100 per cent over the business transacted
during the same period last year These
statements come from populists and re-
pubicans alike and are free from prejudice.
About a dozen of the 300 reports indicate
no perceptible change, and all show that
there is great promise forl the immediate
future. Lumbermen all report increase
of trade, and some of them say the increase
has been 300 per cent. Nearly all Of the
sales are for cash. 4 The reasons given for
this gratifying condition of affairs vary.
Some attribute 1T to the great number of
creameries that have been established in
the state during the past year, others say
it is due to the large crops, and again
others attribute it to a restoration Of con-
idence that has brought money from hiding.
Interviews with thirty bankers develop the
fact that every one of them has personal
knowledge Of individuals who have had
large sums buried or otherwise hidden, and
that some of that money Is being de-
posted in the banks because the depositors
have confidence that an era of prosperity
is at hand.

ANOTHER MATRIMONIAL MIsFIT
Nan Named CIcrmont Opprcsses Iii,
wife with Persecution.

Wan Named Clcrmont Opprcsses His
wife with Persecution.
Doe Cermont proprietor OF a small
lunch counter on Broadway, filed an in
formation in Justice Vien's court yesterday
charging his wife with adultery and naming
as correspondent commercial traveller. The
woman was arrested and arraigned, when it
developed that the prosecution was only
ruse on the part of the husband to compel
his wife to live with him again. Mrs. Cler-
monl has had a great deal of trouble with
her husband and has been compelled to
cali upon the police to interfere in her be-
half number OF times within the last year.
Several months ago she notified ali OF the
saloons not to sell her husband any more
r;oXicants. This was a last resort to
compel him to end a spree OF several weeks
duration. For this display of interest in
her husbands behalf she received beating
that proved to be the last she was inclined
to suffer. She left the man and has been
making her own way working as domestic.
All overtures to return to her husbands
home proved unavailing, and numer-
Gus threats likewise. The arrest fol-
lowed as last resort. lmmedi-
ately after the woman was arraigned
Clermont informed the court that he was
willing to dismiss the case IL his wife would
consent to live with him again. The scene
that followed was dramatic. The woman
stood up and with flashing eyes denounced
the little man who had been her prosecutor
for so long and invited him to go ahead with
the case and defed him to prove that her
character was not without blemish The
court ordered Clermont to proceed with the
! introduction of his evidence. The man
hesitated, stammered and then frankly
| admitted that he had no evil
| dence and only suspected his wife
The woman was instantly discharged, and the
costs taxed to the husband An execution
was issued for the costs and his lunch
stand was levied upon. Before the woman
could leave the court room Clermont renewed
his solicitations for the woman to again take
her place in his home, and with such fervo1
that the court officer was obliged to inter
fere to protect her from his fury. He was
held in the room under threat of having a
/ case of assault docketed against him until
| the woman could get away.

YANKTON. S. D.. Aug. 3.-tSpecial,)-
A. II. Weber of Sioux City, assistant en-
gneer in the office of Captain Sanford, who
is in charge of the improvements to be made
to the Missouri river at and above Sioux
City, has made thorough inspection of the
river opposite this city. The mayor of Yank-
ton ascertained that the appropriation of
S32, 900 for the improvement of the river at
this point was ready to be expended and that
If movement in this direction was delayed
until fall there was possibility of the ap-
preparation reverting to the United States
treasury. and he Immediately sent for the
engineer to come forward and lay plans for
the preliminary work.
Mr.. Weber devoted two days last week to
the inspection of both sides of the river, and
found that the channel had changed some
what since the government survey was made
two years ago. On the Nebraska side, nearly
opposite Yankton the river had cut in about
400 feet there being very little change on
the Dakota side, however. The cutting on
the Nebraska side will make it more ex-
pensive to complete the work.
The plans for the work stipulate that a row
of jetties, to be constructed Of Sioux Falls
stone, shall be put in about one mile above
Yankton on the Nebraska side of the river
which will force the current against the
sand bars on this side, cutting them out

RAILROADS ASSESS THEMSELVES.
Governor Lee Proposes to Take Fig
mrcs from Ehcir own Sint m mis.


urcs from Their own Statements.
PIERRE, S. D., Aug. Especial Tele-
grem)-There were several warm passages
today over the assessment Of railroad prop
erty at the meeting OF the State Board OF
Assessment Governor Lee had demanded
that assessments on ali roads be made at
least one-thlrd Of the cost OF construction.
as stated In the suits brought in the United
states court against the railroad commission,
This would put them all at about Sc 600
per mile. The assessment was made on most
Of the roads at the same rates as last year,
with the exception of the Great Northern
lines, which were raised from 800 to 5000
per mile on the different branches. The
governor then moved that "all railroads be
ASSESSED at actual value or the same as all
other property in the state" which passed
unanimously. Assessment OF any further
lines than those already taken up was then
discussed and a resolution was adopted to
pootpone further railroad assessment until
further information Is obtained The mat
ter may come up at any time during the
session of the board
