6 GOUNCIL BLUFFS. A Fow Shots Sent From the Shoulder., Horrible Death of a German Yesterday. This, That and the Other Gronped Together. A Word to Blufiites. We understand_there are a number of people in Council Bluffs who are regular subseribers for a_daily paper in Omalia, which, in ite cheeky endeavers to monopo* lize the entire newspaper business, issues both amorning and evening edition, To take a paper from another city and state isof course a person’s privilege, We are not finding fault with that, nor would The Nonpareil stoop to belittle the paper in the hope of injuring its sale wherever it is of But we take it for granted that the people of Council Bluffs feel an inter- est in their home city and institutions; that her business men prefer to see our own enterprises rish here rather than those of citirs which do not have a farthings's interest in our welfare, On Monday last, as all well know, a terrible_explosion oc- curred almost in the heart of our city, On the following morning the Omaha paper referred to came oyt with a lengthy, and in some instances a very inaccurate, report of the same, but took pans to so word the report as to leave the reader at a total I &s tulknnw just where the accident did occur, and whers the Rock Island's yards are lo- eated—in Council Bluffs or over the river. Such pains to cmtort a regort of an affa r of that magaitude so as 10 Jeave the reaader in doubt as to the exact location of the actual scene we think not only an out- rage, but an absolute insult to the place most interested and such out- rage and insult is just what the Omaha paper in question flung in the faces of its readers and subscribers in Council Bluffs. If they feel disposed to accept such treatment, and continue to en- dorse a paper guilty oi it, all well and good, hut we feel it a duty to refer to_the matter, and after due deliberation, allow 3he paper's patrons to decide the case for themselves. The Omaha Herald and Re- publican are legitimate newspaper enter- prises, and not only treat Council Bluffs courteously in respect? to news from here, but do not attemps to usurp territory that is wholly out of their jurisdiction, and which rightfully and justly belongs to another. ““Think on these things.” Such silly chaff could only emanate from an an alleged newspaper that is constantly imposing upon the creduli- ty of its patrons and has neither the ability nor the enterorise to publish the current news. Tne Bee is not disposed to apulogize for publishing two daily editions, nor do we deem it unprofessional to use due diligence in extending its circulation beyond the city limits of Omaha. It is very kind and considerate in the Nonpareil not ““to stoop to belittle TaE Bk in the hope of injuring its sale where- ever it is offered,” but ' the people of Council Bluffs would respect the Nonpareil more if it exhibited vitality enough to rival the BeE as a metropolitan daily and thus entered into active competition with it. But we digress; our intention in reproducing the above was ‘mainly to show how supremely absurd was the hue and cry raised by John Chap- man's organ about the so called in- sult to Council Bluffs in the Bre's account of the dynamite explosion. Tuesday ¢ morning's edition was largely devoted to reports of memorial . mervices at Cleveland, and elsewhere and these reports occupied the greater part of our space. The ~ dis- cription of the dynamite explo: sion had been written up and included in our Council Bluffs report, but when the paper was beiug made up the news foreman 'was unable to place it all on one page. The follow- ing noto was therefore inserted at the end of the Council Blufis news budget on the sixth page: ““A full ‘account of the explosion which occurred here yu-turdny will be, found on page eight.” But even if this note had not been inserted, the contents of our report plainly show that the explosion oc- curred in Council Bluffs, as will be seen from the following extract: ‘‘No sooner had the services been concluded at the park in Council Blufls than the whole city was shaken from genter to circumference. Every- body was shocked and astounded. In- deed did'some exclaim that the end of i come on this saddest of ." Men rushed gut of their places bewildered and amazed. It seemed o8 if every building on Broad. way and Maip street would tumblo to earth. Some believed that the city had experienged a TRERIDLE EARTHQUAKE 80 great was the shock. A city of mourning was turned into one of con- sternation and -alarm, Soon huge clouds of amoke were seen to arise in the southwestern part of the town. Nearly all the BUSINESS HOUSES on Main street ana Broadway were morg or less damaged. Havoe was made of gluss fronts, 1t is possible that our reporters made some error in minor particulars, ing John Chapman and a gang of satellites perpetually in office. In that it has served its purpose, but it has utterly failed to serve the interests of Council Bluffs. 1f John Chapman is afraid that his paper will lose its grip, let him publish a metropolitan daily and Councll Bluffs will give him generous support. MRS. NORTHRUP'S DEATH, The dark angel of death has again entered one of our homes and taken away one of the best of wives and mothers. Mrs. E. L. Northrup pass- ed away from this life at her resi- dence on Sixth streel about eleven and one-half o’clock Wednesdaymorn- ing. Mrs. Northrup was taken about one week ago with what the physi- cian denominated typhoid pneumonia, at a time when in a condition peculiar to her sex. For a few days under the care of Dr. Poulsin it looked as if she would stem the tide, but the terrible explosion which took place in our city gave her a set back, and the next day she be- gan to sink rapidly until Wednesday morning. No hope was entertained of her recovery and at the hour above stated her'soul took ita flight. Mrs, Northrup was a woman among a thou- sand; of more than ordinary intelli- of keen sensibilities, she quick- ly distinguished the line between right and wrong. Wherever she was her presence was felt and whatever cause she espoused she put her whole heart and soul to the task. So pronounced was she in her temperance views, her manner of working at times would be deemed fanatical. She was an accom- plished reader, asall who have listened to some of her effeorts in that direc- tion will bear testimony. She died on the thirty-fifth anniversary of her birth, at nearly the same hour, She leaves a husband whom all who have dealt with have recognized as a man of integrity and true worth. In life he worshiped her. Her death is a terrible blow to him, Mrs. Nor- thrup also leuves a little girl about thirteen years old and many dear friends who will mourn her loss deep- ly.* At the time of her demise she was a prominent member of the Uni- mentioned in yesterday's Beg, she had been all alone in the house, her hus- band, Mr, Lauberchamer, having left home to meet an engagement in the country, some ten or twelve miles dis- tant, on the morning before. The man, Mr. Wahlgner, who made the discovery, says his attention was at- tracted by cows in the yard standing and looking steadily at some object. He nnfcmg'lm yard and found the vor lady lying upon her face. She {:(ml turned black in the face and it would seem as if she must have lain there some time. The news got on our streets that evening that a foul murder had been committed near the broom factory, so the sidewalk be- tween here and Mayne & Company's broom factory was lined with peo- ple anxious to learn the truth or falsity of the report. The mistake ocourred from the fact that the house wherc the dead body was found is situated near the old Grooner broom factory. Coroner Faul, on hearing the facts, ordered Constable Rosecrantz to summons a jury. The following gentlemen were selected: T. W. Haven, J. M. Thomas, and J. G. Harrington, ““They hast- the scene of supposed crime, braving which for years has benighted democ- racy. and a deluge of the fluid which, in years almost beyond memory, they used for bathing proverbially bare feet.” The above was taken from our morning contemporary’s roport of the affair. They little dreamed ‘that a Bek reporter was right behind them | | on that awful night. the jury rendered a verdict that the woman came to her death by falling as above stated, . CHANGED MER MIND. 1t seems that after the coroner's in- quest over the body of Mrs. Lauber- chamer, Mr, Faul, finding the body was in a state of decomposition, and there belng no relatives about the premises, turned the remdins over to he undertaker for interment. Of courss a pauper’s casket and grave was the result. Yesterday a daughter of the deceased woman made her ap- pearance, went to the coroner's office stormy Wednesday tarian society of this city, and super- intendent of their Sabbath school. THAT CONFIDENCE GAME, Tue BEE reporter met a rural youth yesterday at the transfer who gave his name as William Perry and his age as sixteen, He hails from Guthrie coun- ty. This youth was diligently secking for a professional sharper who assumes the name of Madison. Young Perry tells the following story: He was on the west-bound passengor train Wednesday where he met a man who gave his name as Madison, represent- ing himself to be a Colorado ranch- man, He claimed to be on his way home from an eastern trip. The sharper at once saw he had a “bite,” and he hauled him in. He at once employed young Perry to go with him to his cattle ranch and herd for him. When they entered the train a third party confronted Mr, Sharper with a bill amounting to $25 that had long been stending, and requested him to pay the same. He was very sorry that he did not have the money with him, but said ho had plenty at Omaha, where he would remain pver night, and if he would go over with him or call at & certain_place, naming it, he would pay the bill in full. Of course this would not answer at All. The man wanted the money then and there. He requested young Perry, who had just been employed by him, to lean him the money, which he very kindly did on the arrival of the train at the depot in Omaha, The young man was in search of his employer, butallto no purpose. He and his confederate had disap- peared in a little better shape finan- ©ally than when he met young Perry, who had lost all the money he had in his possession, excepting enough to got him home, for which place he took the first train yesterday morning, a poorer but a wiser boy. ® DEATH ON THE RAIL. Rum yereterday morning added an- other to its long line of victims, Waednesday night about 12 o'clock, a man named Eville Sohinoke, who claimed to be in the employ of the Omaha lead company, went to tho little flag house on the Council Bluffs end of the U, P, bridge. To John Anderson, who was in charge, he stated that he had missed the train and requested that he be permitted te walk across the bridge. The man in charge refused to grant’ his request. Sohinoke was drunk at the time, and had a bottle of whisky in his pocket. He remamned at the watch house at the end of the bridge, all night, and early this morning went out and started down the track to- wards the depot. As he started he drew the bottle from his pocket and drank freeyl. The next seen of him he was found lying dead at the side of the embankment of the approach to the bridge, with his left leg complete- and severely upbraided him for pury- ing her mother 8o quickly and in the manner that he did, stating that she wanted him to show her where the grave was that- they might take her up and give her a decent burial. Mr. Fl:ul went with the girl to the potter’s field, and behold! the mother still remained this side the grave, the digger neglecting to bury the body until yesterday morning, The coroner approached the sacred spot, ened,” in the langunge of another, “*to | i on the way darkness worse than tha®y Pt After taking the testimony | " s of to-day agroe that ed by disordered kidneys the kidneys and liver are perfect health will be the time and for years people s without beini able to find re of Warnor's §afe Kidney and anew era 11 the treatment of the Made from a simple contains fust the cle and invigorate both os that canse body—for Torpid Dizzincss— Gravel Liver and Urinary Organs, and medy_for females 1t will control Menstruation Leucorrhwa or Fallng of the Womb, As a Blood Purifie the organs that i This remedy, w the L. upon the market. and is sold dealers at 81,25 uire for WARNE Ttisa POSIII H.

THE BLUFFS IN RRIEF, Tur Bk yesterday missed the early train to this city on account of the furious storm, consequently 1t was late in reaching 1ta patrons. We are not often taken that way and are will- ing to be forgiven. William A. Mynster has returned from Glenwood, Mills county, where he has been attending court. Hon. James F. Wilson addressed a large and appreciative audience at Dohaney’s Opera house Wednesday evening. Every greenbacker should ‘have been present to hear the gentle- man discusss the financial question, Quito an addition is being erected by J. 8. McAlister to the Western hotel on the north side of upper Broadway. Thoy are coaling up and our little ship of state will sail to-night at 7:30 o'clock, Some pretend to say that the Her- dics will not run in muddy time. Grand chance to try them yesterday. The lawn grass in our parks or any where else should not be cut after the 1st of August, The shockpof the dynamite explo- sion was felt in Missouri Valley, and also Atlantic; in the latter city quite sevorely. United States Senator McDill. was in the city Wednesday, at the Ogden. Geo. Smith, of the firm of Lund & Smith has retucned home, M. Chase, editor of the Atlantic Democrat, was in this city Wednes- day. Hon. H. H. Trimble of Bloomfield, was at' the Ogden Wednesday. Our morning contemporary calls the citizens of Council Bluffs, *‘Blufites.” a term used by the slums of other citics. We resent it and ask why they used that term, Rey. Jyrus Hawlin left this city Tuesday morning for Corning where he gees to attend the meeting of the Congregational association, which con- venes there this week. W. ¥ Erdman, of Omaha, came over the river yestorday and registered at the Ogden, ly severed above the knee, a deep in- cision across the forehead, as if wade with & sharp instrument, and several cuts on tho back of the head, Exactly how he came to his death is not known, but the probabilitios are that being drunk he fell on the track and was struck by o trmn coming from Omaha. Some are of the opinion that he wus struck with an instrument on thefore- head making the gash that was found and then ‘l)lum] upon the track, but this would seem not to be the case as monoy was found on his person. but on the whole Tik Bee published From a memorandum book found in the most complete and correct repert one of his pockets it appears ho was uite & good sccountant and a toler- of any paper on either side of the gbl.gmd writer.
