ALL DEPENDS ON AN INSECT
Effort to Establish smyrna Eta In
dustry in California Bids
Fair to Succeed

WASHINGTON. June 25.-The Agricul-
tural department has issued bulletin
treating Of the probable success OF the
effort to establish the Smyrna AZ industry
in California. L appears that the truitng
Of the Smyrna fg is dependent upon the
introduction from South Europe and the
esta blishment in California OF a little in
sect which fertilizes the ag.
Experimental introductions Of the insect
were begun and some Of them brought over
in 1898 have succeeded IN penetrating the
closed flowers Of the Capri igs growing at
Fresno making the first step Of the ex-
perimental work a success. The bulletin
adds.
Since the insect has maintained itself
for an entire year there is reason TO sup
puse that it will continue 70 breed. and that
California in the near future will be able
to place a fig upon the market which will
possess the same superior flavor as that
which has given the imported Smyrna figs
their pre-eminent commercial rank

no MORE SUNDAY SHAVING
BARRIERS Are Determined 70 Have the Sunday
Law Enforced.
RESISTING ToSsoRAL ARTISTS ARRESTED
Fritz Bernhnrdi Refuses to Join As
sociation and Keeps His shop
Open and VIII Have to Appear
Before Justice Ferrier.

The BARRIERS Of Council Bluffs who re-
Gently formed an organization are deter
mined that no tonsorial work shall be per
formed on Sundays u the law will uphold
them At meeting OF the organization
few days ago it vas decided TO commence
the Sunday closing yesterday, and in con-
sequence there we're only two shops n the
whole city where a man could get shave
or a 1air cut. One was the shop conducted
by Fritz Bernhard. in the Grand hotel, and
he other is run b. a barber who is a
Seventh Day Adventist and keeps Saturday
the Sabbath and closes his shop on that
day As soon as IL became known yester-
day that Bernhard mad his shop open, and
was attending TO the wants OF the public
the officers Of The organization hunted up
their attorney ana aled informstions against
Bernhard and two of his assistants for vio-
lating The sunday law Warrants we're is
sued from the court Of Justice Ferrier and
Bernhardi and mis- two BARRIERS gave bail for
their appearance in court this morning. The
penalty for violating the Sunday law is a
fne Of from 81 to s. and costs.
There is no knowing where the move
ment started by the BARRIERS will end. Mr
Bernhard. in his younger days. served in
the German army with distinction. and is
reputed 70 be a fighter from Fighterville
He will not tolerate any Interference with
his business, and will probably go the other
BARRIERS one better. He says that II they
want the Sunday law enforced he will see
10 IL that they obey II 70 the strict letter.
II any OF the tonsorial artists contemplate
spending Sunday in fishing or engaging in
base ball or in any other recreation. he will
be after them red hot. He SAYS he does
not expect 10 see any Of them in church,
but II they want the law enforced. he in
tends that they shall stay AT home on sun
day and be good. Although Mr.. Bernhard
mas not yet settled on any definite line Of
action. he is contemplating. II the other
BARRIERS insist his shop being closed on
sundays. having the law generally enforced
throughout the city. Drug stores and sa-
looms and other places Of business. such as
restaurants. candy stores soda water Soun-
tains. all keep open on Sunday, and Mr..
Bernhard is reported as saying ne may re-
ta!iate by having them close also. II he is
compelled 20.
One Of the BARRIERS belonging 70 the bar
bers' association, whose place was kept
closed yesterday. said: We are IN this
fight and mean TO carry It through IL the
law will uphold Us. There js no reason
why BARRIERS, more than any other class OF
men, should be compelled to work seven
days in the week. We need the Sunday rest,
just the same as anybody else With few
exceptions any man who does not shave him
self can get the Job done Saturday night and
not wait until Sunday morning. The trav-
cling public may be inconvenienced some
what, but 1t will not kill a man to go one
day without shave II he happens to be
unable to get his face scraped Saturday
night"

Accident at the Park that Delays
Traffic for Three Hours


Traffic for Three Hours
The band concert at Fairmount mark yes
terday afternoon and evening proved as
had been fully expected, an immense draw
ing card, and was the means OF attracting
crowd OF between 1000 and 5000 people
10 that popular resort.
About o'clock in the afternoon an un-
fortunate accident while luckily not serious
in its results, interfered with the running
Of the cars. Just as one of the large
motors was passing through the cut on its
return trip from the park Il mass OF earth
some seven or eight tons in weight. came
tumbling down from beneath the high
bridge. This mass Of earth only missed
the car about five feet. Had il struck the
motor 1t would have crushed in the roof Of
the car and the occupants undoubtedly
would have been seriously injured Sew
eral persons who we're on root following the
car through the cut barely escaped being
caught
The dirt completely covered the tracks
and prevented the cars from entering the
park. Passengers we're forced TO alight
AZ the entrance 20 the cut and make the
remainder OF the Journey on foot climbing
over the obstruction.
For a time 1t thought possible that
the bridge itself would come tumbling
down and Park Commissioners Schmidt and
Harding remained on the ground TO keep
rhe people away In case Of further accident
General Manager Dimmock of the motor
line lost no time in having the construction
train and a force OF men on the ground and
for three solid hours the men dug away at
the heap OF dirt By O'clock in the even

faction 10 itself and the public, Manager
Dimmock says it is absolutely necessary
that the company be permitted 10 place
sifings on South First street so that a
three minute service can be maintained
Yesterday all the long open cars we're run
through direct from Omaha 10 the park
but owing TO there being no sidings be-
tween Broadway ana the park itself, there
was necessarily considerable delay and cars
at times became punched
South First street is too narrow TO permit

Are Opposed to Increase of Valuation
on ReaI Estafe.

Real Estate.
Considerable opposition to the action OF
the County Board of Supervisors in raising
the assessed valuation Of real estate in the
city 25 per cent has manifested itself. Even
some of the city counclmen are Kicking
despite the fact that the city would be in
a bad shape financially year from now. II
the board had not taken the bull by the
horns and made a radical increase. The
matter, II is said. will be brought up at the
meeting OF the city council tonight. and it
is reported that some OF the city fathers
are in favor of contesting the right of the
supervisors 70 make the raise. II the city
council should decide on this 1t can. in it's
capacity as local board Of review, appeal
from the action of the county supervisors TO
the district court within twenty ydays.
Some OF the heaviest taxpayers in the
city are considerabIy wrnught up and have
declared their intention Of taking the mat
ter into the courts They claim that the
Board Of Supervisors overreached its
authority in the premises; that the law
only gave it the right TO equalize the assess
ment as between cities and townships, but
that in the case of the city of Council
Bluffs It had no other city in the county to
which il could be compared and that, there
fore 1t had no basis on which to arrive at
its action in ordering a general raise OF %
per cent on all real estate.
On the other hand. there are many prop
erty owners and businessmen who believe
that the board acted for the best and that
Il was case of absolute necessity to in
crease the assessment so that a sufficient
revenue could be obtained with which to
run the municipality for a year from now
County Auditor Innes says the state
board would have raised the assessment in
all probability II the supervisors had not
and that, therefore. the action Of the
county board simply torestalled that OF the
state board.
