6 ~ GOUNCIL BLUFFS. Rocord of & Day's Doings Over the River. Discussing the Proposed New City Chartd. 0dds and Ends Pioked Up Hore and There at Random. TO BE OR NOT. A QUESTION WHICH THE VOTERS WILL BOON DECIDE. g on this picture, then on The very important question will goon come before the voters of this : Shall we change our garb and don a new one? To be surethere aro some bencfits that a change of charters would give us that we are As taxpayers we no matter now deprived of. would not werry, we clected as councilmen, in regard to the expenditure of our general funds. The conncil would be limited in their power of levying taxes for general city purposes, The peoplo would havesome- thing to say as to who should be the «eal advisor of tho city; in fact, all Wices would be eleetive by the peaple instead of being appointive by the mayor and council. We would ret the benefit of the past and future hcciniun» of eur supreme court on law points that are coming up at almost every meeting of our city council, On legal questions wo would not be afloat as we now are, No state in the union has more sound common law pertaining to the cities of thefirst class orthose operated under the general laws of the state than Towa, The people when they know the power invested in their chief mag- istrate, to be more particular in the selection made in the nominating con- vention, We will have a reduced number of aldermen, but those who are opposed to the change likewise have o story to tell. These are the views communicated to THg BeE re- orter by one our leading citizens. © says, when in the course of human ovents, it becomes necessary to aban- don the charter under which we have grown from a mere frontier hamlet to a oity, equal in importance to any in the state, a decent respect for the opinions of all citizens require that they should declaro the causes that impel them to this course, We hold these truths to be self-evident that all public improvements cost money, and that the only way to raise it is by taxation. Will the aban- donment of our present charter reduce the expenses? This is certain- 1y a very pertinent question. The ordinances we now have were recently compiled and published atan expense of over two thousand dollars. Would not a new set be required to meet the changes? Under the general law we must_have a police court, which is a court of record, having a judge and clerk. Would that be less expensive than the present recorder’s court, Under tho general law the mayor, auditor, marshal, civil engineer, sol- icitor, elork and street supervisor are elected by the people for two years, This may or may not be an improve- ment. But will the two additional offlcors reduce the expense? The new charter also gives the mayor entiro control of the police department. He appoints the chief and all other police- men and removes them at his own whom that if Judge James was mayor and J. M. Palmer recorder, they wouldn't think of a change. Seven car loads of cattle went enst over the old reliable C., B, & Q. rail- road yesterday, and th cars shipped over the se John Wilson was fined £10. r Vaughan, we understand, remit- 5 of this, not believing the man very guilty. The cireuit court, Judge Loofborow presiding, adjourned sine die yester- da Tho following well merited compli- ment was paid the present managers of our driving park by the stockhold- ers of the a tion at a recent meeting in this city: Resolved, That we herehy express the fullest satisfac- tion with and our implicit confidence in the present board of directors and manazors of the driving park for the able, honest and economical manner inw 1 said board has conducted the business of the association, H. H. Berry has received another large order for iron work from Ne- braska, He remarks that his little “ad” in Tne Bee pays him a hun- dredfold. Taking position into consideration, John Clausen’s property, on Upper Broadway, is the most unique in the city. Any one would suppose it was built upon an old fort. When the trees surrounding this residence are owa it will be a very attractive The broom factory. is putting in a large boiler for the purpose of heating the buildings by steam tho coming winter. Vanbrunt & Co. are erecting a very large warchouse near the Northwest- ern depot, and they will handle their goods with a large derrick. A large platform will be constructed, on which to load from the cars, and then hoist into the building. These laxge ware- houses are springing up all over the city, adding greatly to our metropol- itan. appoarance. Judge Burke wants it understood, if there is any prospeet of this city becoming one of the first-class, that he 18 & candidate for polico judge. He wants toenjoy a season of rest, when he can have a clerk and marshal to do all the work and he sit up above them and expound the law. He says it is easier to pronounce judgment in court than it 18 to keep a record of it. Under the new charter there wall be numerous applicants of superin- tendent of Council Bluffs market. There will be nothing for a man to do but draw his pay, and most any one who can sign his name would be com- petent, We understand that Miss Tizzie Pinneo has challenged Mrs. Burke for a ten-mile dash for $1,000, the gato money to go to the winner, When they rode hero the gate money was to go to the winner and the purse was $5,000, Butit turned oui that seventy-five per cent of the gate mon- ey was divided between the owners of the women. Besides Mrs, Burke sold soveral pictures of the winner of the 3 | to stay, she went out to look at THE OMAHA DAILY BEE: THURSDAY SE!"I‘E)IIH‘II: lr | relate, belongs to a very respectable family in this county.

People will lose confidence in them if they come too thick. Harrison county, never far bohind hand in any regard, will open up the agricultural products at their county fair, commencing October 4 and hold- ing threo days. All who can shoula attend, as the farmers of Harrison always make an interesting showing well worth the time and moneyspent. No person, no matter how good a team he may own, can go upon the track in vacation unless he is a stock- pleasure, the council having nothing to sny except to fix the number to be appomnted. Now, if we were sure of always having as puremen to fill the ex- ecutive office as thepresentincumbent, (this is not sarcasm, either), this would bo desirable, It is possible, however, that somobody might man- age to got elected mayor who could be in“uenced by l)extur{mfl‘giu or other considerations to look upon some of these littlo vicos with considerable allowance. At all events would the . expenso bo less. Would the council ui.der a general law be able to grade a street in these bluffs so to conform to every man's lot and obviate cutting orfilling! Beforeé making the change the people should scrutivize both pic- tures carefully, and leaving out of the question all é)nrty ties, go to the polls on election day and vote as their own convictiens lead them, This is not or should not be a party election., It is a question that every voter should give his candid and intelligent con- sideration, A LEADVILLE LAWYER. William Sears, Esq., formerly of Council Bluffs, now of Leadyille,Col., called at Te Bee office yesterday, Mr., Sears is very cloquent when he speaks of the present grandeur and the future greatness of his future home. He believes no city (save Council Bluffs) can compare “with it; and when a man, in common conver- sation with a reporter, can produse the following, one can imagine what his power can be raised to. Mr, Bears said: ‘'1 express it as my conviction that in all probability when our posterit shall have passed away Leadviile will atill be the grand metropolis amongst the clouds, while the rich deposits of mineral lying hidden beneath the base of the mountains which surround her will be still undeveloped,” John Lindt will hardly believe that the author of the above ‘was his old partner in the law business, Mr, Sears says that the cheap and unin- viting frame buildings are rapidly giv- ing place to more ooull{ struct- ures; in tact, the out; begins to put en a little of Council Blufls activity, His success since he left hero has been very marked. Ho carried Overman's case through very successfully, Overman, it will be re- membered, killed a man ina Lead- ville theatre, whom he ¢ ed with criminal intiwg with his wife, For this effurt, Mr. Sears says Ive was per- sonally complimented by the jud before whom the case was tried. He says that Tue Bee is quoted in their papers almost duily, and is cousidered cne of the live papers of the country, TUE BLUKFS IN BRIEY, When Col. Dailey invites a news- paper reporter to dine with him he nows just how to entertain him, in'l‘. J. E.h his bt‘;uu up I3 po yesterday, and went wver the river to take in the fair. Bome are mean enough to think holder. Now don’t the people wish they had patronized the races better. Jacob Williams has sold one of his houses on Willow avenue te Maj, Lyman, of the firm of Sapp & Ly- man, Mr. Barker, the photographer, has purchased a mew “‘view” wagon, for thie purpose of the instaneous produc- tion of views of this city and vieinity. ‘The Rescue hose company ‘met at | 5t their rooms last evening, Tug Bee thinks all that has been given our fire boys has been earned by them, and that we should say very little about the $250. Hon. Georgo Carson will spend a large portion of the coming winter at home with his family, Occasionally he will visit his friend Clayton over at Macedonia, The government has built a splon- did postoftico and court house away up in the clouds ont at Loadville. Now, Mr, Hepburn, if you don‘t—well, we will wait a while and then say it, but we want a postoffice at Council Blutts, twenty thousand of us strong, The Bluffs street grade will live in history, when the mayor, and council and Uncle John sleeps the sleep that knows no waking. How many citizens can tell the time of day by our new oclock only by the striking? And this they can” do ovor in Omaha, There will be good men up for of- fico on the democratic ticket unless one or two men we could mention coutrol the convention. Should this prove true, it will be quite an inter- esting campaign, Perry Reel don’t want the office, and will only run, like all the rest, to save the party. There is no doubt that both parties will be saved. J. J. Snouffer, of Cedar Rapids, Fitoh B. Stacy, of Mitchell county, and L. B, Coffin, of Fort Dodge, were in Council Blufts, and of course drove out and took a turn around the best track in the morthwest. We under- stand that they were delighted with it, and exsvmuml themselves in favor of giving the farmers in this section a chance: to show the people of Towa what they raise out here. They also expressed themselves pleased with the city generally. 1f Thomas Bowman runs for treas- urer the little girl will be undecided which one to tie to, She says it will bo a close contest. But won't that democratio. man feel mean to take an offico away from a girl. Why don't the democracy, to carry out the fun in good shape, nominate u fomale, 0 All other Paing aND ACHES.
