Prospective Compromise.
The special city council committee, con-
sisting of Aldermen Johnson, Brough and
Sayles, will hold a conference this evening

settlement of the controversy over the ex-
penditure of the road fund without further
appeal to the courts. The majority of the
city council is now in favor of an amicable
arrangement and is anxious that the con-
troversy should reach a speedy settlement.
Several OF the councilmen are in favor
OF allowing the county to do the work. the
city reserving the right to direct where
and how 1t shall be done. One of the sug-
g%estions made is that the city's portion of
the county road fund be expended in impro-
wing Lower and Upper Broadway, both por-
tions of which thoroughfare are sadly In
need of work on them. Several of the al
dermen favor expanding the road fund on
Broadway by laying Sherman gravel on 1t,
which, when 1t works down and becomes
amalgamated with the Stag macadam al
ready laid, will pack and become as hard
as asphaltum. Broadway Is, they say, I'M
doubtedly the most travelled thoroughfare In
the city and the money could not be spent
to greater advantage than in putting it in
good shape at both ends. The portion OF
Broadway from the Northwestern tracks to
First street is paved with granite blocks
and this needs no improving. but the east
and west ends are in bad shape.

WASHINGTON, June 16,-Practlcal steps
will be taken by the War department in a
few days looking to the payment OF the
claims of the several states and territories
for expenses incurred by them in the sub
sistence and maintenance of the volunteers
prior to their muster into the service OF
the United States. 1t has been determined
to refer all such claims to a board consist
ing of an army officer designated by the
secretary of war and an official Of the
Treasury department. This promises to be
a work of considerable magnitude, as every
state and territory and the District of Co.
lumbia have been put to more or less ex-
pense in providing for the volunteers before
they were mustered in, and 1t viii be the
duty OF the board to settle them with a view
to the best protection of the governments

SNEAK THIEVES ARE LUCKY
Visitations Interrupted by a Householder
Whose Shots They Escape.
MAKE A RAID ON THE HOME OF 7, |. SMITH
Two Gold Watches nnd Some Cash
secured by the M~nrnudcrs. who
Proceed with Great Cool
ness and Dclibcrntion.

Sneak thieves and hold-up men who for
several weeks past have steered clear of
Council Bluffs, have apparently decided to
do a little work on this side of the river.
Following close on the heels of the hold-up
at B%oysen's saloon, thieves got in their work
between the hours of 2 and 3 o'clock yes
iterday morning at the residence of T. l..
Smith, 1922 Sixteenth avenue. Among the
occupants of the Smith residence are two
United States express messengers, Ben Ven
able and Jesse Morgan, and they now both
mourn the loss of a gold watch apiece aud
some 50 in cash. Messrs. Venable and Nor
gan occupy a room on the ground floor and
II was while they were asleep that the
thieves raised the window of their room and
entered. Taking the clothes of the two
sleepers, the thieves backed out Of the win
dow and seating themselves on the lawn,
l~eisurely went through the pockets of the
garments, securing two gold watches and
some 80 in cash. The thieves had no use
for the clothes, SO they folded them neatly
ana laid them under a tree on the front
lawn. Emboldened by their success, the
thieves decided to make another attempt to
enter the house and this time selected the
room in which Mr.. and Mrs. Smith sleep.
Mrs. Smith, however, was awake and when
the men approached her window and com
menced to raise the sash she called to he1
husband. This scared the robbers and they
started to run across the lot. Mr.. Smith
hastily secured his revolver from the burear
and took a shot at the fleeing forms. but
went wide Of the mark. The shootint
aroused the %neighbors and a search wa.
made for the thieves, but they were gon,
and had left no trace behind them.

The VulcanizinQ Process.

Crude rubber up to certain point
receives the same treatment, no matter
what it is intended for. The vulcaniz.
ing process was discovered many years
ago in a purely accidental manner by
Charles Goodyear, who had spent much
time and moneyin experiments along
this line. 1t is related that he sat one
night bordering before the fire with a
lump of sulphur in one hand and a
piece of crude rubber in the other. The
combining of these two substances
would produce the desired result. but
he could devise no way to effect the
union. AT last, becoming discouraged,
he cast the contents of both hands in
the fire and retired for the night. The
following morning he discovered that
his rubber and sulphur by the action of
the heat had combined to form vulcan
lite, tho substance he had sought for so
long. Dry Goods Economist.

from distressing kidney and bladder troub-

back of and very close to the bladder, and
Tor that reason any distress, disease or
inconvenience manifested In the kidneys,
back, bladder or urinary passage Is often,
by mistake, attributed to female weakness
or womb trouble of some sort.
