special car bearing Mr Bryan and the escorting committee arrived and the band begai to ilay and people passed the word from one to another that Bryan was here they came from every direction not singly but in flocks The afternoon was given over to Bryan It Is not exaggerating to say that business was deserted One large mill owner came to the World Herald office immediately after dinner and asked that he be Informed by telephone whn Bryan arrived "We have eight men working for he said and every blessed one of is for Bryan and they want to see him and har him speak We'll have to let them cortie

eastern friends in our knowledge of this country We come nianv of us from the east and coming from the east and having our friends and relatives back there as we go back and visit them we become

that there can be no permanent prosperity In this nation unless that prosperity is broad enough to take within its embrace those who are tillers of the soil (Great ap plause) Our prosperity rests upon

rotunda of the hotel and for half an hour longer received the throng of people who pressed forward to grasp his band and speak words of encouragement inally the special motor backed down to the hotel and Mr Bryan and party made their way to it But he was not so easily to escape for he was followed to the car which was speedily surrounded and he was called upon to perform the diffi cult task of shaking hands on both sides of the car at once Men and women and children crowded to the side of the car and reached up to take his hand on one side while others climbed the steps on the other side and reached for him from all directions until amid cheers the gong rang and the car moved away Bryan's visit was the match which touched off a powder magazine of dis cussion and during the remainder of the afternoon little else was to be heard wherever one might go in Council Bluffs except talk of Bryan and free silver and several hot discussions attracted eager crowds of listeners The presence of several representa tives of the metropolitan dailies and the presence of several short hand re porters was an emphatic illustration of the terrific scrutiny to which even the smallest public act and utterance of Mr Bryan is subjected The occasion was of an informal and non partisan charac ter but every word and every gesture was watched and there was no escape RAILROAD COURTESIES At the request of the reception com mittee and other democratic friends of Mr Bryan and in their behalf the World Herald expresses their earnest thanks to Superintendent Dim mock who gave tne use of a special car for the occasion Mr Dirnmock offered to carry the committee free but all pre ferred to pay their way On the re turn trip however after Mr Bryan had gane Mr Di i mock announced that no more fares woud be collected The com mittee expressed their appreciation by hearty cheers The committee also desires to make a public expression of their gratitude to the Military band which gave Its services free out of compliment to the democratic nominee They enlivened the gathering at the Grand with stir ring national airs and accompanied Mr Bryan and party back to Omaha The return trip was made in seventeen min utes from the Grand permitting Mr Bryan to catch the train to Lincoln The committee and band accompanied him to the union depot in Omaha and he took his departure amid the strains of music and the cheers of the large crowd which assembled to see him off COCHRAN PARK WALKS INISHED There Arc 1 S(J85 Square eet and the Cost Will Be si 75 113 The artificial stone walks in

effect that Lou Spelts a well known commission man at the stock yards had been arrested in connection with a difficulty and taken to David City by the sheriff was an error growing out of the fact that the information calling for the arregt of "Lou did not specify that it was there being a junior and the police stated that it was Spelts the commission not knowing the son As a matter of fact the Spelts ar rested was a son Lou Spelts jr The father of the boy states that at no time has the boy been connected with the commission firm of which he himself is a member He also stated that the cause

It a Very Dangerous Trick An Ingenious Italian Named Pinetti Invented It Away Baek in the A ear: 1785 How Magicians Apparently Catch Real Bullets Bancroft After the Secrets of the East Indian akirs than all myself Be no iri (Detroit ree Press) I began my pilgrimage on one of the swift Atlantic liners and here I am at sea in the calmest sort of weather mak ing my way on the first lap of this long trip that is ultimately to take me throughout India perhaps teach me a great many things of which I may be still ignorant I had the good fortune to meet as a fellow passenger an ex cap tain of the British army now on the re tired list who had passed a number of the best years of his life in various gar risons throughout Hindoostan and who like nearly all those whom I had met still persisted in recounting to me many of the marvels accomplished by the fa kirs of that ancient land But the cap tain like most of those who laud these performances as a layman is "sat isfied to be surprised at apparent mys teries that would perhaps hardly defy the scrutiny of a practiced magician for even a minute He told me of the mango trees and of the burial of a man six feet under earth and his resurrection after days of suspended animation ing a man of veracity 1 could peach what lie said And it Is for that reason more others that I want to see for and possibly in the near future display to American audiences the secrets of the eastern marvels 1 am going to India in no skeptical spirit however There must be something remarkable in tricks that have been handed down for hundreds of years and which have amazed generations of men It lias been the habit of necromancers to pooh pooh these mysteries am not in that frame of mind On the contrary while I know there is no occult effort in their work they must at least be marvelously dex terous to have deceived so many know of course at the start that I shall get no explanation from the fa kirs They have kept these mysteries to themselves for so long that it is not likely they will share their knowledge with any western barbarian no matter what the price offered' But I have a hope that by watching them I may ulti mately discover then secret I have had vine fund of amusement since 1 left the pier at New and that has been the rending of the exploits (described as marvelous) of a certain magician who sall be nameless who seems to have been taken seriously in his alleged invention of what may be called "the gun 1 say gun trick because that is the name it has gone by for more than 100 years back It is be ing shot at by one or several men and the catching of marked balls fired from rifles without injury to the performer fam not depreciating the trick It is very good one in its 'way and has been at times attended with a certain amount of danger But there is nothing new and I merely mention as a record that this trick was first publicly done so fur as known by an Italian necromancer named Pinetti in 17H5 To be sure jn those days it had mt received the elaboration that has since been given to it But the surprise of the people was probably as great when one gun was fired or one pistol as it is now when Jialf a dozen are em ployed In other oi ds the trick is thesame Thomas rost in his history of magic art mentions Pinetti as one of the celebrated men of Ills time and then acknowledged to have no superior The gun trick was a chance invention Pinetti had two college mates who be came officers in the army They quar reled and a provocation to a duel was the result Pinetti then in his youth and long before he thought of making a profession of magic was very fond of both men and wanted no injury to come to either His ingenious mind conceived the idea of so fixing the pistols with which the duel was to be conducted that no harm could result The second of the other party readily joined in his scheme to make the duel harmless And this is the way in which Pinetti went to work He pounded in the charge of powder but he had two tubes which he inserted in the pistols Tn these tubes the balls were placed in the pres ence of the combatants The seconds then went apart to apparently discuss the terms of the fight and secretly with drew the tubes leaving nothin in the barrels of the pistols but the powder Then the principals took their positions and fired' harmlessly The bullets were already gone It is related that the duelists were so angry at their failure to hit one another that they insisted on no fewer than three shots filing fired on each side But it was as easy to repeat the performance of the withdrawal of the bullets as nt first After that honor was satisfied 'and it is said that the two men became firm friends though Pinetti never re lated to either how it came about that they fired such bad shots This simple device has been greatly improved upon since The celebrated Prof Andcrpon who was known as tnc of the and for many vears the most famous In his line made the gun trick one of his specialties And he adopted even a simpler method than that of the tubes He was Jn the habit of palming the real bullet nnd substituting in Its place its exact coun terpart in black lead He allowed any one in the audience to pound the bullet down The more he pounded the more certain it was to become powder in the barrel of the Tnusket that he emp oyed Of course when the charge exploded the black lead flew out like dust and then he exhibited the leaden bullet in his hand Even this device has been improved upon but not always without accident A gentleman named De Grisy the son of an exiled nobleman of rance who in his youth was sufficiently fond of necromancy to give amateur perform ances to his friends finally upon the de cadence of his family and the poverty of his father determined to adopt pres tidigitation as a profession Though at first he made a failure in Naples he persisted and ultimately became fa mous traveling about Europe for fif teen or twenty years He was a favorite of one of the popes who greatly ad mired his performances All I wish to mention re is the unfortunate end to which he came by overconfidence In performing his familiar gun trick He did it in a different way He called bis act that of AVilliam Tell: and he em ployed his wife a beautiful Italian to hold the apple on her head at which Dr Grisy would apparently shook The leaden bullet would of course be found In the apple He did this with unvary ing success for a great many years But on one occasion in Switzerland by some fatal error he left the leaden ball In the gun and thereby killed bls wife He went almost mad: and In addition to the grief he felt he was tried for murder and received a sentence if I re member right of six months in prison and the confiscation of his property It was such a blow to him that when he finally as liberated from jail his mind was affected and shortly afterwards he died of fever in Lyons rance destitute and mad as a March hare Other accidents have happened through the carelessness of performers playing this trijk But thia was tha vllC vlk ine and Avith Pearlin mof Ltragic that I derson in his long career on a single occasion To come down to the shooting trick of the present day the system under which it is performed makes it absolute ly impossible for the performer to be injured As a matter of policy I do not believe in exposing the tricks of the trade but the shooting trick cannot be called legit imate feat as done at pres ent for the reason that it does not de pend upon the skill or leight of hand of the performer but is entirely depend ent upon the confederates so that any layman could do the trick To begin with as recently done it was performed with the aid of six soldiers under the command of a sergeant At the rise of the curtain the squad marched upon the stage and took a po sition in oblique line on the right when after they had been brought to attention and order arms the sergeant crossed the stage to the left third entrance for the assumed purpose of depositing his gun and taking from the same place a salver on which the bullets were to be placed This salver was in the form of an ordi nary waiter about six by twelve inches and about one inch deep In the center there was a small hole or well large enough to hold six cartridges Con cealed in the interior of this salver was for all the clothes etc that aWH and torn to pieces in the wash? ever it is he or she ouMit to in the wn shiner hn 11 he dftnnwitJI that ruinous expensive rub! rub over the wash board makes all the trouble will bfl away with It isn't a little matter either needless Avear and tear enough to pay any man to look it and stop it Pearline savej only hard Avork but hard monev A peddlers and some unscrupulous grocers will tell yotl thisJCxlUL or the same os Pearline Pearline is t' 1 and if vour grocer sends you something in place Jj3ClC honcstl Amc 493 JANES PYLK Xew1 I 7 Nl another compartment exactly the same size as the exposed well containing six blank car tridges which were hidden from view Underneath this salver and Sl concealed by the hand in which the ser geant carried the salver was a small peg connecting the two compartments The salver was taken by the sergeant to the committee who deposited therein the six bullets which had been loaded and sealed The sergeant then passed among the audience and various persons took the six cartridges from the salver and placed marks upon the bullets They were then deposited back in the well The sergeant then marched on the stage with the salver held at length but as he was crossing the platform he moved the compartments down and the blank cartridges up into the place oc cupied by the loaded cartridges The loaded cartridges naturally were then covered up and nothing was exposed but the blanks This salver lie then handed to the soldiers and each one took out a cartridge This is where the mys tery comes in because everybody in the audience was ready to swear that the salver with the cartridges had never left their sight that the sergeant had held it at length and that each soldier had taken a cartridge therefrom and held it aloft AVhat they failed to notice was that the soldiers held the cartridges with the rim up and not the bullet end up After the soldiers had taken their cartridges the sergeant crossed the stage to the third left en trance for the purpose of returning the salver and securing his gun fi'his is where the fine work of the trick comes in The minute he deposits the salver two confederates who are in the third entrance take the cartridges extract the bullets and put them on a plate which had been heated so' as to make the bullets feel warm The performer who has been standing in the center of the stage all this time then tvalks over to this entrance for the purpose of secur ing the plate upon which he proposes to catch the bullets In the meantime the soldiers had loaded their guns with the blank cartridges and marched to the platform in the audience and faced about ready to fire The performer se cured tiie plate and bullets at the same time and concealing the bullets in the palm of his hand he held the plate be fore him and nodded to the sergeant to give the command to lire which was done and the performer then turned the plate over with the bullets on it amidst great applause The greatest care is taken to see Hint the soldiers have no ammunition of any kind and as there nre but six loaded cartridges in use and as the magician does not give the signal to tiie sergeant to fire until he has received the six bul lets it is easy to be seen that there can be no danger connected witli the feat as he lias the bullets in his hand befoie the soldiers fire AVhen I saw the amount of space de voted by the papers to this feat and noted with what excitement the audi ence witnessed the act 1 could not help thinking witli Puck: "What fools these mortals REDERICK BANCROIi'T MILWAUKEE ROAD It Has Not
