PUT UNDER BONDS.- An . Officer Bwling the Illver to Catch 1'rlsoncr Colonel Keatlojr Gets Political I'lum A Ulscour- liiiunilrjinan - Hewers KunnlrtK Up Hill.- llarr.v . Hlrkinbinc , of the waterworks company , is EO exucrioncod nn engineer that his opinions of the much discussed sewerage are worthy of consideration.- Ho . was naked yesterday by a BEE man what he thought about the talk there was concerning sewers being running up- tiill , and being imperfectly constructed , etc. "I've heard a good deal about the scworu not being right , and that in some places they made them ruu up hill. The iroubli ) is that nobody can build sewers n this soil , the way they are built , and lave them do good servicn for any length of time ; a brick sewer laid on this soil ought to rest on plank to keep it trom- settling. . I don't care how good the bricks are. You cannot help getting in some through which water will liltcr. After a little , wherever the sewerage liltcrs through these brick into the soil , there will be u settling , and soon you liavu your sewer curving up nnd down like n snako. Then the sewer doesn't carry on", gets stopped up , and folks begin talking about the sewer having been built crookedly and about trying to makn water ruu up hill and all that. " "You think , then , that planks should be Inid and the suwer rest upou these. " "Yes , with all brick scwcra in this soil. Then , too , I think that instead of build- ing ¬ the sewers round they should bo egg- shaped , thu small end down. If you stop to think a minute , you will sec that this sort of a Bower will clean itself easier. It gives the narrowest space at the bottom , so thht if there is any water running through the sewer it will huyo How enough to clean out the sediment. I should lay the plank first , then build up the sewer , so as to leave an egg-shaped channel , and then throw a simple arch over the top. Then 1 would have the connections made near the top. As it is now the connections arc being made right into the side , about the center. If a sewer gets over half full , the dirt and sediment of all sorts washes into thoyo connections , and stops them up. There is danger of backwater , too , running into these connections. If they were put in at the top or near it , there would not bo these dltliculties. " Struggling For a Prisoner. Two men nt work near the river got into some sort of an altercation which ended in one of them , Ira Jonus , shooting at the other , John Shipcow. The latter lind an information tiled in Justice Schurz's court charging Jones with as- sault ¬ with intent to kill. Deputy Mar- shal ¬ White drove down to the river yes- terday ¬ to got Jones. Ho found his man , 3Ut Jones wanted to got his shoes , which were in : i boat near by. The otllccr ac- commodated ¬ him and Jones , getting into the boat , proceeded to push from the more , intending doubtless to make good Ills escape to the Nebrnsna side. Into | H an emergency man , and in an instant ho was in the water and After the boat. He rruulo Jones come- back to Iowa , and on landing Mrs. Jones 'nino to the rescues of her beloved iius- jnnd. - . Shu waged war on the olliccr with a piece of fence board , until the officer pulled his billy , which was soon knocked out of his hand in the struggle. She got possession of this , nnd "beforeVhito could rally had hit him over the head twice with it. As the others wcro taking an occasional hand in , too , he pulled his revolver and road the riot act. The crowd nuieted down and ho took his mnn in Ins buggy and brought him up- town. . Jones claims that ho did not aim at Sliipcrow , but that ho fired his revolver iu the air just to frighten him. For Sale Harry Smith's photograph gallery cheap. Inquire of Harry Smith.- A . MUsliiK Partner.- A . few months ago there appeared in this city a stirring young man , appar- ently ¬ a Jew , who busied himself in intro- ducing ¬ a now carpet cleaning process , securing considerable patronage , and giving fair satisfaction to his customers.- A . short thno ago ho bought an interest in the Council lilufTs laundry , with Amos Hurg , buying out Burg's partner for ! r00 ! ! , paying only $25 down , and the bal- ance ¬ in promises. Ho was to have home money from the old country by the 1st of August , and would then settle for the rest. In the meantime ho drew from the receipts of the business enough to pay his board and meet his personal ex- penses. ¬ . On the 3d of this month Fisher disappeared suddenly , nnd having not Ouon seen or heard from since , his part- ner ¬ is convinced that ho has skipped out.- Ho . ligun-s up that ho is out of pocket about $150 by his relations with Fisher. Just before Fisher disappeared there was a tire at the laundry which did considera- ble damage , nnd which was not covered by insurance. It is possible that this loss caused Fisher to decide to seek new past- ures ¬ , instead of staying by and helping meet the loss with his partner.- At . the Pacific house you will save from BOc to $1 per day.

Dr. Crofts- olllciatod , and the services were tcudoi and impressive. The words of cousola- tion were based on the passage of scrip- ture which speaks of the dust returning to dust , and the spirit to the God whc gave it. The speaker dwelt upon the idea that nature seemed ever reaching ur Its arms to receive the physical remains The dust returned to the dust. It was equally true that the arms of the loving Fattier wcro reaching out to receive the spiritual. The return of the spirit was no less certain than that of the dust. The the thoughts of the speaker were , as usual , clothed in well chosen words. The tlor l tributes of friends were numerous and beautiful. Among them wore pll lows of out flowers , one with the words "Our Boy. " The other had upon it i pet name , "Fritz.- Vhcn . " you arc in the city stop nt the Pacific house.

The establishment of a branch dlstrici court at Avoca has caused numerous legal questions to arise. Ono of these I- .an important one.

Ho decided that a trauscnp must bo iniiilu out at Avoca nnd sent hen for record iu order to make the notlci good.

One had n quit claim deed , convoying to his wife several cheap lots in the city , the consideration being "his love nnd nfFc- ction - for her, and one dollar in hand paid. " Ho was rushing for the recorder's oflicc- to get his document filed. The other man had an attachment ngainst his property , nnd he was rushing for the clerk's ollicc. The race was about two minutes in favor of the man with the nt- t.ichnicnt - , nnd the owner of the lots will doubtless lind that it has cost him fS.CO- to put on record a public assurance of the love which he has for his wife.

Ford in the Epoch : There is a comic side to what is called American assurance , and nowhere is this comic side more visible than in our at- tempts ¬ to build up a foreign trade , hong schooled to place their trust in congress ami the homo market , our manufacturers have scorned to seek proht in outside markets , and , content with nn artificial monopoly , they have produced until they arc rudely awakened to the fact that they arc in danger ot being drowned in their own fat , aa the home market , largo as it is , has not extended so rapidly as the powers of production. This schooling is the very worst that could bo depended upon in competing in neutral markets with foreign manufac- turers ¬ , and the little experience already had , shows how'different the factors arc m nn artificial and in n neutral market. Shut in from foreign competition , the American manufacturer feared only do- mestic ¬ competition , nnd that was slow in developing ; but when it did come , it forced him to improve his processes and utilUo every cost-saving aud laDor-say- Ing appliance offered. In ipitu of tiU- he | finds ho has rfbt advanced as much aa other nattous hnve. Still ho enters foreign markets , nnd his methods of entering nro worthy of- study. . Of course there nro many except- ions. ¬ . The natural monopoly of a high quality of petroleum has forced open the ports of the world , , und it still sells al- most ¬ the world over , iu spite of A rising competition that is backed by enormous capital and almost autocratic power. The Stcphonson oars nro to be met with all through the cltlds of South America , and the ammunition of some New Eng ¬ land works is preferred to European wares of that diameter. Natural ad- vantages ¬ , or a special adaptation to cer- tain ¬ uses , are two of the most powerful agencies for commanding markets , but n monopoly based upon thc e qualities is possessed by few of the staple products of the United States. And when It is wanting all the push nnd ingenuity of merchants seem to fail. Besides that , positive blunders are made through ignorance or thoughtless- ness. - . For example , a cargo ol American machine-made shoes was sent to ono of North African countries , where a shoe of- a peculiar shape , llexible sole and made of undressed leather was the only foot- gear ¬ known. Of course the consignment wits a failure , for the natives refused to lay aside their sandals , costing but a few pennies to make , and take up the bettor , because fnr nioro durable , American shoe. The power of fashion , habit nnd prejudice never seems to enter into the calculations of the American exporter. Possessed of common sense himself , hn cannot understand why n person should prefer n rod Inbcl on his cans to n blue , or- to have his * cloth twelve Inches wide and so many yards to the roll , to a wider cloth less or more yards of length. The result is that the traditional shipment of skates and warming pans to the tropics is imitated by similar vagaries , its when a large carnage manufacturer sent n cir- cular ¬ to Chinese inland towns addressed "To the lending carriage dealer in - , " forgetting that a carriage was as un- known ¬ and as useless in China as n sedan chair is in New York , and that even if he should receive an order it would be next to impossible to till it , there being no way of delivering the goods If the manufacturer could get his raw material at a lower price , it would result in a great gain to him. Then it must not bo thought sufficient to send out circulars and illustrated catalogues. Imagine an Egyptian fellah studying a picture of a mowing machine or a self-reaper ! Active nnd intelligent men must be sent out to study the needs of the market it is in- tended ¬ to supply , and to remain on the scene to reap advantage from every favorable circumstance. This is the way in which Germany has built up and is continually extending her foreign trade.- In . Mexico and South America , as well ns- in China and Japan , the rapid rise of German commercial interests has as- tounded ¬ the English factor. Many would extend the list of com- mercial ¬ curiosities by adding a system of bounties , in imitation of the mercantile system of Adam Smith 's dny. The home market was assmrcdUo manufacturers , in whole or in part , by a protective tariff ; now foreign markets must bo opened up- nnd assured by bounties , subsidies nnd liberal drawbacks.- Wp . have not seen any proposition looking to the foundation of American colonies , which would be the copcstone- to the modern mercantile system , but it- is sure to bo made , though where such colonies could be established this side of the moon is uncertain. let , nnd this is another difficulty , while seeking for mar- kets ¬ for their goods , our manufacturers reject the offers of Canada and Mexico to trade on reciprocal advantage , nnd pre- fer ¬ to play at the old game of high tariff and a home market. When , in the twentieth century , some latter-day Adam Smith comes to describe the commercial policies of the loading mercantile and in- dustrial ¬ nations of Europe and America in the nineteenth century , ho will find much to astonish him , but nothing more astonishing than the policy of the United States. _ "A Word to the Wino Is Sufuclent.- "Catarrh . is not simply an inconven- ience ¬ , unpleasant to the sufferer and dis- gusting ¬ to others it is an advanced out- post ¬ of approaching disease of worse typo.

Hewers KunnlrtK Up Hill.-

llarr.v.

Hlrkinbinc , of the waterworkscompany , is EO exucrioncod nn engineerthat his opinions of the much discussedsewerage are worthy of consideration.-Ho

.

was naked yesterday by a BEE manwhat he thought about the talk there wasconcerning sewers being running up-

tiill , and being imperfectly constructed ,

etc."I've heard a good deal about the

scworu not being right , and that in someplaces they made them ruu up hill. Theiroubli ) is that nobody can build sewersn this soil , the way they are built , andlave them do good servicn for any length

of time ; a brick sewer laid on this soilought to rest on plank to keep it trom-settling. . I don't care how good thebricks are. You cannot help getting insome through which water will liltcr.After a little , wherever the sewerageliltcrs through these brick into the soil ,

there will be u settling , and soon youliavu your sewer curving up nnd downlike n snako. Then the sewer doesn'tcarry on", gets stopped up , and folksbegin talking about the sewer havingbeen built crookedly and about tryingto makn water ruu up hill and all that. "

"You think , then , that planks shouldbe Inid and the suwer rest upou these. "

"Yes , with all brick scwcra in this soil.Then , too , I think that instead of build-ing

¬

the sewers round they should bo egg-shaped , thu small end down. If you stopto think a minute , you will sec that thissort of a Bower will clean itself easier. Itgives the narrowest space at the bottom ,so thht if there is any water runningthrough the sewer it will huyo Howenough to clean out the sediment. Ishould lay the plank first , then build upthe sewer , so as to leave an egg-shapedchannel , and then throw a simple archover the top. Then 1 would have theconnections made near the top. As it isnow the connections arc being maderight into the side , about the center. If asewer gets over half full , the dirt andsediment of all sorts washes into thoyoconnections , and stops them up. Thereis danger of backwater , too , running intothese connections. If they were put in atthe top or near it , there would not bothese dltliculties. "

Struggling For a Prisoner.Two men nt work near the river got

into some sort of an altercation whichended in one of them , Ira Jonus , shootingat the other , John Shipcow. The latterlind an information tiled in JusticeSchurz's court charging Jones with as-

sault¬

with intent to kill. Deputy Mar-shal

¬

White drove down to the river yes-terday

¬

to got Jones. Ho found his man ,

3Ut Jones wanted to got his shoes , whichwere in :i boat near by. The otllccr ac-

commodated¬

him and Jones , getting intothe boat , proceeded to push from themore , intending doubtless to make goodIlls escape to the Nebrnsna side. Into| H an emergency man , and in aninstant ho was in the water andAfter the boat. He rruulo Jones come-back to Iowa , and on landing Mrs. Jones'nino to the rescues of her beloved iius-jnnd.

-. Shu waged war on the olliccr with

a piece of fence board , until the officerpulled his billy , which was soon knockedout of his hand in the struggle. She gotpossession of this , nnd "beforeVhitocould rally had hit him over the headtwice with it. As the others wcro takingan occasional hand in , too , he pulled hisrevolver and road the riot act. Thecrowd nuieted down and ho took hismnn in Ins buggy and brought him up-town. . Jones claims that ho did not aimat Sliipcrow , but that ho fired his revolveriu the air just to frighten him.

MUsliiK Partner.-A

.

few months ago there appeared inthis city a stirring young man , appar-ently

¬

a Jew , who busied himself in intro-ducing

¬

a now carpet cleaning process ,

securing considerable patronage , andgiving fair satisfaction to his customers.-A

.

short thno ago ho bought an interestin the Council lilufTs laundry , with AmosHurg , buying out Burg's partner for!r00!! , paying only $25 down , and the bal-ance

¬

in promises. Ho was to have homemoney from the old country by the 1st ofAugust , and would then settle for therest. In the meantime ho drew from thereceipts of the business enough to payhis board and meet his personal ex-penses.

¬

. On the 3d of this month Fisherdisappeared suddenly , nnd having notOuon seen or heard from since , his part-ner

¬

is convinced that ho has skipped out.-Ho

.

ligun-s up that ho is out of pocketabout $150 by his relations with Fisher.Just before Fisher disappeared there wasa tire at the laundry which did considera-ble damage , nnd which was not coveredby insurance. It is possible that this losscaused Fisher to decide to seek new past-ures

¬

, instead of staying by and helpingmeet the loss with his partner.-

Laid at Itcst.The funeral of Frcddio Hill , aged

eleven years , son of F. C. Hill , of theEmukio Hardware company , was heldyesterday afternoon at the family resi-dence. . There was a largo gathering olsympathizing friends. Rev. Dr. Crofts-olllciatod , and the services were tcudoiand impressive. The words of cousola-tion were based on the passage of scrip-ture which speaks of the dust returningto dust , and the spirit to the God whcgave it. The speaker dwelt upon theidea that nature seemed ever reaching urIts arms to receive the physical remainsThe dust returned to the dust. It wasequally true that the arms of the lovingFattier wcro reaching out to receive thespiritual. The return of the spirit wasno less certain than that of the dust. Thethe thoughts of the speaker were , asusual , clothed in well chosen words. Thetlor l tributes of friends were numerousand beautiful. Among them wore plllows of out flowers , one with the words"Our Boy." The other had upon it ipet name , "Fritz.-

Avoca Court.The establishment of a branch dlstrici

court at Avoca has caused numerouslegal questions to arise. Ono of these I-

.an important one. It is whether a judg-ment rendered in the court at Avoca if

duo notice to the public ns a judgmententered hero. Judge Carson had a castrecently before him which involved thli-point. . Ho decided that a trauscnpmust bo iniiilu out at Avoca nnd sent henfor record iu order to make the notlci

good. The cleric of the Avoca court hitsbeen following tljo opposite policy andholding the opposite opinion. Hereafter ,

under this ruling , m judgement in Avooawill not be really complcto until atranscript of it is filed hero.

Legal Race.Yesterday afternoon there was a hot

race between two men , to sec whichcould get to the county building first.One had n quit claim deed , convoying tohis wife several cheap lots in the city , theconsideration being "his love nnd nfFc-ction

-

for her, and one dollar in hand paid."Ho was rushing for the recorder's oflicc-to get his document filed. The otherman had an attachment ngainst hisproperty , nnd he was rushing for theclerk's ollicc. The race was about twominutes in favor of the man with the nt-

t.ichnicnt-

, nnd the owner of the lots willdoubtless lind that it has cost him fS.CO-to put on record a public assurance ofthe love which he has for his wife.

Commercial Cnrln8ltlcn.Washington C. Ford in the Epoch :

There is a comic side to what is calledAmerican assurance , and nowhere is thiscomic side more visible than in our at-tempts

¬to build up a foreign trade , hong

schooled to place their trust in congressami the homo market , our manufacturershave scorned to seek proht in outsidemarkets , and , content with nn artificialmonopoly , they have produced until theyarc rudely awakened to the fact that theyarc in danger ot being drowned in theirown fat , aa the home market , largo as itis , has not extended so rapidly as thepowers of production.

This schooling is the very worst thatcould bo depended upon in competing inneutral markets with foreign manufac-turers

¬

, and the little experience alreadyhad , shows how'different the factors arcm nn artificial and in n neutral market.Shut in from foreign competition , theAmerican manufacturer feared only do-mestic

¬

competition , nnd that was slow indeveloping ; but when it did come , itforced him to improve his processes andutilUo every cost-saving aud laDor-say-

Ing appliance offered. In ipitu of tiU-he

|finds ho has rfbt advanced as much aa

other nattous hnve.Still ho enters foreign markets , nnd

his methods of entering nro worthy of-

study. . Of course there nro many except-ions.

¬. The natural monopoly of a high

quality of petroleum has forced open theports of the world , ,und it still sells al-

most¬

the world over , iu spite of A risingcompetition that is backed by enormouscapital and almost autocratic power.The Stcphonson oars nro to be met withall through the cltlds of South America ,and the ammunition of some New Eng ¬

land works is preferred to Europeanwares of that diameter. Natural ad-

vantages¬

, or a special adaptation to cer-tain

¬uses , are two of the most powerful

agencies for commanding markets , but nmonopoly based upon thc e qualities ispossessed by few of the staple productsof the United States. And when It iswanting all the push nnd ingenuity ofmerchants seem to fail.

Besides that , positive blunders aremade through ignorance or thoughtless-ness.

-

. For example , a cargo ol Americanmachine-made shoes was sent to ono ofNorth African countries , where a shoe of-

a peculiar shape , llexible sole and madeof undressed leather was the only foot-gear

¬

known. Of course the consignmentwits a failure , for the natives refused tolay aside their sandals , costing but a fewpennies to make , and take up the bettor ,

because fnr nioro durable , Americanshoe. The power of fashion , habit nndprejudice never seems to enter into thecalculations of the American exporter.Possessed of common sense himself , hncannot understand why n person shouldprefer n rod Inbcl on his cans to n blue , or-to have his * cloth twelve Inches wideand so many yards to the roll , to a widercloth less or more yards of length. Theresult is that the traditional shipment ofskates and warming pans to the tropicsis imitated by similar vagaries , its when alarge carnage manufacturer sent n cir-cular

¬

to Chinese inland towns addressed"To the lending carriage dealer in -, "forgetting that a carriage was as un-known

¬

and as useless in China as n sedanchair is in New York , and that evenif he should receive an order it would benext to impossible to till it , there beingno way of delivering the goods

If the manufacturer could get his rawmaterial at a lower price , it would resultin a great gain to him. Then it must notbo thought sufficient to send out circularsand illustrated catalogues. Imagine anEgyptian fellah studying a picture of amowing machine or a self-reaper ! Activennd intelligent men must be sent out tostudy the needs of the market it is in-tended

¬

to supply , and to remain on thescene to reap advantage from everyfavorable circumstance. This is the wayin which Germany has built up and iscontinually extending her foreign trade.-In

.Mexico and South America , as well ns-

in China and Japan , the rapid rise ofGerman commercial interests has as-

tounded¬

the English factor.Many would extend the list of com-

mercial¬

curiosities by adding a system ofbounties , in imitation of the mercantilesystem of Adam Smith 's dny. The homemarket was assmrcdUo manufacturers , inwhole or in part , by a protective tariff;now foreign markets must bo opened up-nnd assured by bounties , subsidies nndliberal drawbacks.-

Wp.

have not seen any propositionlooking to the foundation of Americancolonies , which would be the copcstone-to the modern mercantile system , but it-

is sure to bo made , though where suchcolonies could be established this side ofthe moon is uncertain. let , nnd this isanother difficulty , while seeking for mar-kets

¬

for their goods , our manufacturersreject the offers of Canada and Mexico totrade on reciprocal advantage , nnd pre-fer

¬

to play at the old game of high tariffand a home market. When , in thetwentieth century , some latter-day AdamSmith comes to describe the commercialpolicies of the loading mercantile and in-dustrial

¬

nations of Europe and Americain the nineteenth century , ho will findmuch to astonish him , but nothing moreastonishing than the policy of the UnitedStates. _"A Word to the Wino Is Sufuclent.-

is not simply an inconven-ience

, unpleasant to the sufferer and dis-gusting
