THE HOUR OF GRACE.
BY Harold Carter.

BY Harold Carter.
During my year OF once as the
cars chief Of detectives frustrated
nine separate plots" said Casimir
Boutcheff But my nerves broke
down and | had to resign my post.
Imagine nine desperate men, each
reckless Of his life, each bent upon
wiping out his ruler In the most devil
ish and ingenious ways, and you can
imagine something OF my own dificul-
ties.
The ninth, the anarchist Strogoff,
was the immediate cause OF my resign
ing Nothing but the slightest over
sight, the most providential forgetful-
ness OF single natural phenomenon,
frustrated this last attempt. He was
the man who was blown 10 pieces in
the kings gardens, Copenhagen, by
some mysterious and never understood
agency"
The man who succeeded in obtain
ing post as assistant in the King OF
Denmark's Kitchen" asked the inter.
rogator.
Precisely" replied Boutcheff smil-
ing. AS you know, the car was for
merly very fond OF visiting his august
relative at Copenhagen. There he felt
free from the constant nervous tension
induced by the presence OF those who
wished his death. Here he would pic

the knowledge that no anarchist could
penetrate past the sentinels.

Vandals Smash
Park Hydrant
Several Hundred Dollars Worth Of
Damage Done in Fairmount Park
Reason Unknown,


One of the hydrants placed at the highest
point in Paramount park where the water
can be conveyed from the reservoir was
smashed some time Sunday evening and the
valve stem driven down and wedged 50
that the hydrant would be opened to its
fullest possible extent. 1t ran all night
and until discovered yesterday afternoon.
over 700 barrels of the artesian water in
the reservoir was drained out and wasted
and the earth washed away from the feed
pipe for long distance, entailing a loss OF
several hundred dollars.
When Park Commissioner Graham was
talking about 1t yesterday. he was about
as thoroughly Disguised and angry as 1t is
possible for him to become 1T seems
to me-" he said, that about one-third OF
the people of the world are foolishly in
sane, one-third are viciously criminal and
the other third of us are driven to the
point of nervous prostration and insanity
trying to prevent universal destruction.
There have been no public improvements
apparently more greatfully appreciated
than the splendid and expensive water sys-
TEN that we have installed In the park, yet
one of the hydrants where the greatest
number OF people get their supply of water
for household purposes has been smashed
with hammers three times this summer in
a spirit OF pure devilishness. 1t Is un-
doubtedy done by boys but the parents OF
these boys are to blame. They are educating
and developing criminals while believing
they are giving their children the best Of
moral training. II we can succeed ir
| getting hold OF some OF the miscreants

Dodge Guards
Back from Sparta
No Pleasure Trip by Amy Means as
Men Were Under Regular
Army Officers.

The Dodge Light Guards have returned
from the national encampment at Sparta,
Wis, where they enjoyed all Of the exper-
fences OF actual warfare except the
wounds Some OF them even had that ex-
perience. The sun shone at Sparta and
there were days OF work under boiling
conditions. Sunburns that were huge
blisters gave sufficient sensations of dis
comfort to make some of the young men
feel as II they had tried to stop ten-inch
shell. Officers and privates alike declare
the encampment was q most profitable
school Of instruction, and all have re-
turned with greatly enlarged ideas of the
duties and responsibilities Of the members
OF the national guard, They were under
regular army discipline during the entire
period OF the encampment.
The young soldiers were instructed by
regular army officers, and every minute OF
the time was occupied. Those who
imagined they we're going on an outing and
pleasure trip abandoned the idea in the
first thirty minutes of actual camp life

SPECIAL TRAIN FOR THE TRIP

Impetus.

Council Bluffs boosters have decided TO
make another effort TO awaken several Of
the towns in the eastern end OF the county
After the failure of the Rock Island Rail-
road company to provide the special train
that had been promised for the Oakland
trip last Wednesday, the railway officials
were anxious to give the boosters the OPP
portunity.
Saturday afternoon George f. Hamilton,
chairman Of the publicity committee OF
the National Horticultural congress- and
f. II. DoolittIe, member OF the executive
committee Of the congress. and both also
active officials of the Commercial club, de-
cded to secure a special train to run from
Council Bluffs to Harlan The Shelby
county fair is being held there and Wednes-
day has been designated as Council Bluffs
day. The Rock Island officials were con-
suited and they were willing to go more
than half way in complying with the
wishes of the boosters. They guaranteed
a special train of as many coaches as may
be desired and 1t will be at the disposal
Of the Council Bluffs men all day. A
much smaller guaranty was asked than was
required for the Oakland trip.
The train will run under the combined
| auspices Of the Commercial club and the
leave the Rock Island city passenger sta
ton tomorrow morning at 9;+5, and make
but two stops between here and Harlan
Returning, 1t will leave Harlan about
o'clock in the. evening and run through
to Council Bluffs without any stops.
| The Harlan people have prepared a spe-
cial program for the day. There will be
trotting races in the 21s class, and pacing
races in the 214 class There will be auto
mobile races for machines Of from forty
| to sixty horsepower, in which there have
! been from six to fifteen entries, a compel
| tive brass band contest in which the bands
| from all of the surrounding towns have
been entered, and ball game between Har
Ian and Avoca. The Harlan Commercial
club has undertaken to provide dinners fo
the Council Bluffs crowd and show then
some other interesting things. The trail
will be decorated with big banners and fillet
with men who do things. The round tril
rate has been fixed at &1.A The Oakland
rate was 800 Commercials from the Com
mercial club and the congress will sell tn
tickets today. About 200 orders came il
last evening by phone after 1t was know
that the excursion would be run.

Council Bluffs
Younkerman
Hurries Home,
But in Vain
Needlessly Alarmed Over Likelihood
of Immediate Action by Council on
Water Company Franchise.

Alderman Younkerman FASTENED home
from Colorado because Of the disquieting
reports that reached him at Denver sat
urday morning, detailing the sudden re-
agitation OF the waterworks problem, and
he cut short his visit several days and
left Sunday night in order TO reach Council
Bluffs in time for the regular weekly Mon
day night council meeting, under the inn
preston that the council was likely to
grant the water company a new charter in
his absence. He was relieved, however
TO discover that there was no meeting
scheduled for last night ami none possible
until next Monday night.
Il don't know why Alderman Fisher
waited until l was absent to spring his
plan to give the water company another
charter" said the alderman. 1T will not
do any good, and all the harm that's done
is that It only cut short my visit several
days. There will be no charter granted II
1 can help It, and l viii fight 1t every min
ute 1 am a member Of the council. II the
people will let us alone we will solve the
problem all right, for we feel assured the
court Of appeals will affirm Judge Nc
Phersons decision in the Nash injunction
suit to prevent the completion Of the 100000
water bond issue. The decision should be
delivered in December. and by January /
we can have the money TO buy the old
plant or build a new one"
The Fisher proposition for any sort Of a
compromise that will afford a reasonable
solution of the waterworks tangle appears
to We very favorably regarded by the bust
ness and progressive interests of the city.
Many of the principle business men and
largest property owners have expressed
themselves in favor of q compromise that
will give the water company an opportunity
to make the improvements and extensions
50 sorely needed. The fight has now been
going on for more than six years, and three
sets Of alderman have had try at it, with
the result that the situation grew steadily
worse, ending in a receivership for the
company and transferring all OF its bust
ness affairs to the control Of the federal
court. Not a foot of pipe can be legally
laid in the streets even with an order from
Judge Mcpherson, and the city council
has no means by which It can have
the work done. Streets are being
paved where there are no water mains, and
where extensions of the service have be-
come absolutely necessary the property
owners have been obliged to pay for the
work. The growth of the town is bene
retarded and public improvements arrested
1t is this condition that makes a very large
number OF the taxpayers anxious for any
sort Of a compromise that will bring abou
Immediate relief, and which might result
now in voting a limited franchise to a re
torganized company.
