Great Western Options.

Council Bluffs, Sept. 5.-Interest in the
building of the Great Western railroad
into Council Bluffs has been revived by
the announcement that the real estate
firm of Greenshields & Everest has been
employed by the railroad company to
secure options on residence property
along the north bank of Indian creek
from Frank street to the Illinois Central
depot. The options call for the pur-
chase of the property January 1.
The securing of these options is taken
to indicate that the Great Western In
tends to use the Indian creek route thru
this city. The cost of a right of-way
along this route would be Immense and
there are people who express the opin-
ion that the Great Western will never
build along the creek, but that its Sc
curing options along the creek is simply
ruse to cover up its real route in order
that it may secure its right-of-way
without property being doomed to ruin
Gus prices. 1t is believed the Great
Western will follow the plan of the 1lli-
nois Central and secure the greater part
of its right-of- thru the city thru
agents purchasing the property in their
own names The Illinois Central mar

Want TO Blow UP Dam.

Burlington, Sept. Sit was decided at
u conference yesterday to call mass
meeting of citizens at the Citizens AS
ISOLATION rooms Friday evening for the
purpose of getting the matter of river
Improvement before the people.
1t was suggested that the best plan to
lursue would be to appoint committee
of three business men to go Washington
to place Burlington's danger before the
proper department and get an order for
the removal of the trailing dam which is
causing all the trouble here. 1t is real
lied that the government officials now
at work above the city have no power in
themselves to remove the dam, and
must go to headquarters for their or
ders. So it is believed the quickest way
out of the difficulty will be to place the
situation before the Washington officials
| at once.
If the government is unwilling to go
to the expense of removing the dam,
| there will be little trouble in raising
funds locally to blow it out.
1t is hoped the meeting Friday will be
/ largely attended by business men who
gre vitality interested in the welfare OF
our river commerce. Their advice and
cooperation are needed in the impor-
tant undertaking.

will be made later after the arrange.

Circus Man cupid,. captive.

Vincennes, Ind, Sept. 5.-One month
ago the John Robinson circus visited
Mount Carmel, H., and one of the pro-
prietors saw Miss Olive Harper on the
streets, but failed to make her ac-
quaintance. A few days later she re-
ceived $3.50 diamond from him, also $50
in money, the latter for her to use in
ascertaining what reputation he bore
in his home city. Last week, when he
learned that she was entered in the con-
test for floral queen in a pageant the
Elks of Mount Carmel We're preparing,
he sent a draft to the bank for $1,000,
saying it was to be used in buying
enough ballots to insure her election.
The contest was decided Tuesday night
in Miss Harper's favor, she having a
majority of almost 1000 over the twenty
young women entered
She is beautiful brunette of 10 sum-
mers and belongs to good family.

gan the raising of sugar beets, Professor
Galloway said, has almost taken the
place Of corn. Michigan will manufac-
ture enough sugar from her beet crop

of the state. There is danger that the
production of sugar beets in the middle
west may be excessive and cause q

corn suffering from differentiation,
the farmers in many places having evil

DIVERSITY OF CROPS.
Professor Galloway Says That Fact
Has Helped Western Farmer.

Washington, Sept. 5.-Professor Cal
loway, chief of the bureau Of plant in
dustry at the department Of agriculture
who has just returned from an inspec-
ton of the drought-stricken regions of
the west, reports that he finds much to
encourage him in the changed condi-
tions. The farmers are more generally
accepting the advice of the department
to diversity crops, and are not stalking
their prosperity on one crop. as in years
past. Professor Galloway says that the
beet sugar industry is attaining very re-
spectacle proportions. Sugar beets. he
declared. need much closer attention
than most grains. corn for instance, but
that it has been demonstrated at one of
the experiment stations, which has gone
into the beet raising business an rather
large scale, that a profit Of about $15
an acre can be realized. The planting,
cultivating and harvesting of an acre
of beets, which will bring an average Of
$50 on the market, Represents an outlay
OF $s5, which includes the cost Of all la

minister to the court of the emperor of

From the mouth of your imperial high

The latter must not delude them

Assertion at Medical Meeting.
Denver, Sept. 5.-Dr. e. P. Hershey,
known as the leading surgeon of Dem
Yer, stirred up the Interstate Medical
Association yesterday with the positive
statement that the vermiform appendix
has function to perform in spite Of the
reiterated statements of the worlds
wisest medical men that 1t is without
use and may be removed with impunity.
DR.. Hershey advanced the theory that
the appendix has secretory function,
serving as lubricant to the great in
testines, and that any interference with
the organ brings about other forms of
sickness and multitude of disorders,
Including fatal constipation.
These statements led to many pas
sionate criticisms, the speakers all pro-
esting against allowing such heterodox
theories to go forth as the indorsed sem
timent of the meeting. Finally by res
olution DIR. Hershey was instructed to

GAIT WORKERS OF cADlz.
Curious Ways of strange Glass I.
Thnt City.


A considerable part of the province Of
Caaiz, in Spain, is low, nagshy ground,
unit for cultivation. Nevertheless 1t IS;
turned to good account by being utilized
for the production of salt by evaporation.
This Is one of the most extensive indus.
tries and sources of reSenue in. TIE PROV
incc: It gives employment to thousands
of workmen and makes Cadiz an irnpor7
tant seaport, as more than two-thirds of
the 100000 tons annually produced Is ex,
ported to foreign lands.
The pans are dug out In the muddy soil.
They vary in size. but are OF uniform
depth of ten inches. All the salt pro-
ducing land Is intersected with innumer-
able small canals. From June to Sep
TENDER is the season for salt production.
During this period from three to four
harvests are gathered.
The salt workers form distinct class
of workmen. One generation follows an
other. They are born and bred to it and
form one huge family. No outsider need
dream of getting work there.
1t is a curious sight to see the men at
work and the way they get about. The
business requires considerable skill. The
soil is muddy and is almost quicksand.
ANY person unacquainted with the work
setting foot on salt pan would be
drawn down and swallowed up in very
few minutes. The way the salt workers
get about this dangerous ground, one leg
at time, barely resting the toes and
knee on the mud, isan art in itself.
All the work is done in the most prim-
Tive fashion, and 1t is useless to attempt
to introduce innovations. The men will
not tolerate new methods. In making
sluices for the passage of water from pan
to pan and from the larger canals they
cannot be induced to use any other i'm
plement than their toes.
The salt. as it is collected, is piled up
into pyramids about 80 feet square at the
base and rising to height of about 81
feet. and for at least 20 miles before
reaching Cadiz and travelling by rail the
traveller is struck by the sight of hun
| dreds and hundreds of these pyramids
wherever the eye can reach. At night
the glistening pyramids form scene at
once fantastical and imposing.
| The whole OF the salt business is in
the hands of the salt workers. from the
| gathering of the salt to the putting of ii
into the holds of the ships. Dock labor
ers and harbor men who do all other
kinds OF loading or unloading are exclud-
ed. The salt workers have their own
special craft for carrying the salt from
the pans to the harbor.
The process of salt loading is curious
The ships holds are lined with mating
and as soon as the ship is ready to take

DYING PLEA REuNlTEs.
Estransed Couple Brought Together by
Their DAUGHTERS Death,


Their Daughters Death.
Rockford, ILL.,, Sept. 8. = Estranged
from her husband because of the acct
reconciled and reunited with him after a
separation of seven years by the death
of their only daughter, is the sad and
romantic story in the life Of Marie Mel
sen, the actress, a sister of Alice Mel
sen. the famous singer, now in Paris.
When Marie was young she married
Frank Kingsbury, a rising young bust
ness man of Kansas City, where the
Nielsen's lived. The couple lived hap
PLY together until seven years ago.
when their only son, a boy years old,
was drowned While skating on pond.
The death of the boy nearly distracted
the mother. She blamed her husband
for allowing him to go on the ice. A
quarrel followed and led to an estrange-
ment. Finally Mrs. kingsbury left the
home and decided to take up stage life,
resuming her, maiden name.
A few days ago while her company
was playing at Be1videre word came of
the critical illness of her only child, a
daughter, in Omaha. When she reached
the bedside of the dying child she and
her husband spoke for the first time
since their first great sorrow had sepa-
rated them. The daughter pleaded with
her mother to give up the stage and
live with papa; then she sank into her
last sleep. Husband and wife looked at
each other for a moment, the reconcilia-
ton came. and both kissed the still
warm face of the loved little one whose
last words had reunited them.
After the funeral Mr.. Kingsbury ac-
eompanied his wife to Belvidere, and
Miss Nielsen made the announcement
that she would retire from the stage.
