6 COUNGIL BLUFFS. Town Talk in the ity Over the Way. The New Regime a Big Thing For the Mayor, General Noews Picked Up in Vari- >us Quarters THE MAYORALTY WHAT 1T 18 AND MAY SO0N BE If W. R. Vaughan is re-elccted un- der the new charter, he will probably have the following additional powers vested in him: He will be magistrate and conservator of the peace, having the jurisdiction of a justice of the peace in matters civil and criminal arising under the laws of the state or the ordinances of the city. His crim- inal jurisdiction is co-extensive with the county in which the city is sit uated. (He is not entitled to demand fees in criminal cases, 52 Towa, 311.) Code, section HOG, He shall keep an office to be pro- vided by the council. Code, section bH18. He shall keep the corporate seal. Code, section D18, He shall supervise the conduct of all city officers, examine into com- plaints against them, cause violations or neglect of their duty to be prompt- ly corrected or reported to the proper tribunal. Code, section H19. (We think the last provision is of wider scope, and confers a more definite and cer- tain power upon the mayor in this re. gard than is vested in him under sec- tion 11 of our charter.) He has, within the city, the power conferred upon a sheriff to suppress disorders and keep the peace. Code, section 519, His salary shall be fixed by an or- dinance, and shall neither be in- creased nor diminished during his term of office. Code, section H19). He shall, at the first meeting of the council, report to it concerning the municipal affairs, and recommend such measures as may deem advisable. Code, section H34 He shall appoint one chief of police, and as many subordinate officers and watchmen as the council may deem necessary, to hold during the pleagure of the mayor. Code, ion H34. He may, in cases of emergency, ap- point special watchmen, but their ap- pointment shall be reported to and subject to the action of the council. Code, section H34. He may, upon view, arrest any per- son guilty of a breach of the ordi- nances of tho city, or of any crime against the laws of the state, and may, u&m'l reasonable information, support- ed by aflidavit, procure process for the arrest of any person charged with a breach of any of theordinances. Code, section 637. These additional powers can but have the effect to exalt the position. As the powers of any office are en- larged as the contidence of the people is iucreased in its officials, especially its chief executive, in the same ratio the importance aud dig- _ nity of the office increasos, To such a citizen as the business men of -Qouneil Blufls will entrust the duties of the higu* andy, ygsponsible office of mayor of a first-cuse city, these additional powers can safely e conferred. Under the old charter the mayor is held responsible for the acts of his sybo dinates, and at the same time has not the power to re- move them from office on account of dereliction of duty. Under the new order of thirgs the menswho hold an office at ‘the will of the mayor will look to it, that his wishes are more minutely:carried. { Out no man fitted for the high position of mayor of Council = Bluffs would for a single instant take advan- tage of the powers the people clothe him with, and any man may, even without au thority, usurp powers not granted him, far more potent for mis- chief than the choice of subordinate ofticers. The mayor becomes more of aservant of the people and his re- sponsibility is greatly enhanced, To his door will be brought the blame for all neglect of duty of the officers he appoints; and the best of allis that the business men will be obliged to take part in the politics of the city, and see to it that none but first-class men --men of honor, of integrity, and of acapacity for business—are clected to the office. SPEARING FISH, At the round-house of the Chicago & Northwestern railroad is a little slouglh, caused by a depression which was formed by Indian Creek atan early day. Some boys were the other day wading in this slough after fish and succegded in capturing quite 8 num- ber of different kinds, Among the rest Frank Rogers succeeded in cap- turing a large black-mouthed bass, (microplerus pallidus) which weighed some three pounds. This fish was speared with a pitchfork. - We under- stand that the same boy the night previous killed at thesame place a fish of the same species that would weigh six pounds, Some ten years since large numbers of fish were taken at the same place, in fack they were ta- kenby the wagon full, " The fishes were undoubtedly carried into the place by the high waters this spring, This is only one of a few instances showing the eminent success of the plant of ‘whatare commonly called native fish, “by our state fish commissioner, Hon, B, ¥. Shaw. HEART OF IRON, The old cottonwood tree that has stood so Jong on the premises of W. A. Wynster was felled to the ground yesterday, when to the surprise of all who beheld it the heart of the tree was filled with old railroad iron, The tree was about eight feet in ciroumfor- ence and the iron was embedded in the center of it, How it came there, and how the tree could grow so smoothly around it, is a question we leave for others to solve. DRIVERS, BE CAREFUL, To-day we areto have anothercircus. “The last one that visited this city was theoceasion of several severe accidents. Circuses have become so frequent it seems ug if people. could long citumgnf & 0isds parade fha b ¢ without getting so gxgit .'fifi people'wil ge?w fi u‘r?dér C awg‘-‘ t thiere| is no controlling them. Now, we ad- vise all persons who come to the cir | cus with teams to see to it that they | are securely fastened. No matter | | how safe a horse you may have, never stand him on a side_street facing the | stroet through which the procession is | passiv A little caution exercised in this regard may prevent accidents to- | day and perliaps the loss of lives, TRIED ANYHOW, Two cowboys who gave their names respectively ns T. B. Wilson and | George Welman were arrested on the strosts yesterday on complaint of | chief Field, charged with drawing a revolver on a ‘'coon.” There not be- ing sufficient proof to substantiate the charge. They were raked in for carry- ing conceoled weapons, two revolvers having been found upon their per SOnA. AN ACCOMPLISHED WHISTLER, Goneral Mosby was arrested ns a vagrant or an individual of color wan- dering around as the officers of the law supposed at the time without any visible means of support, But when they got the youth up at the city building and he raised his upper lip and began to whistle “IMhe Mocking Bird,” they came to the conclusion that there was a ke somewhere, Ex-Mayor Dr. nee being present, declared that or heard Mosby's cqual as a whistler since he went out of office. The general 1s certainly a character. Not only can he whistle but he sings and dances and passes around the hat like an Itatian piper at a Donnybrook fair. Judge Burke gave him the lib- erties of the court room, and so| pleased was ho with the general’s ac- complishments that he not only dis- missed the case but heiped to make up & purse for him. SCHOOL CENSUS, E. H. Odell, secretary of the board of trade, has completed the school census, with the following result: Whole number of pupils between the ages of five and twenty-one, 5,411, I'here are more females than males, there being 2,760 of the former to 2,651 of the latter. WORTHY BENEFICIARY, A grand ball for the benefit of Jo- seph Spaulding, who lost an arm by the premature discharge of a cannon some time ago, we understand will take place on Wednesday evening, October 12th, under the auspices of Abe Lincoln post No. 20, G. A. R., and the Knights of Pythias of this city, a notice of which will in due time be given. VERDICT AGAINST THE RATLROAD, In the case of McCormick vs. the Chicago, Burlington & Quincy railroad company, the jury, after being out about two hours, returned a verdict in favor of the plaintiff for $4,600. A settlement of the case will probably now be effected. The company filed a motion for a new ti + P, Flick, L. Evans, G. L. Finn 1 Leymand appeared for McCormick and J. W Blzll,he, W. P. Hepburn and Hon, H. H. Trimble for the company. UNITED STATES COURTS. JJudge Love has disposed of all the criminal part of his docket, including about forty-six cases for defrauding the revenue, A few have been sent to the penitentiary, but in the major#| ity of the.cases the judge hag im- posed a fine of 810 and costs. *Among those who escaped so emsily were Stephen Talman, C. W.” Downing, Charles Austin, Claus Stolley, John Powers, Frank Lehman and Penilo Washington, NOW, ON TRIAL, The casé »ow on trial in the U. 8, circuit and district court is entitled the McCormick Harvesting Machine company. vs Allen & Allyrs, Lyman Evans, Thoyst & Sons nsssisted by Sapp, appear for the plaintiff, and Atkinson & Som, A, J. Johnson ana W. P. Hepburn for the defendant. THE BLUFFS IN RRIEF. Col. W. F. Sapp and Hon. Geo, Casson addressed the citizons of Avoen on the momentious questions that are now agitating the public mind. Hon, H. H, Trimble having finished his business before the U. 8. court, has returned to his home, N. P. Dodge has gone to Davenport ona business trip, E. R. Page left yesterday on his regular lecturing tour, Samuel Hass and son have returned to the Bluffs from quite an extended western trip, Miss Kittie Barnett loft yosterday for Pueblo, Col., on a visit for health and recreation, Miss Smith, who has been confined to her residence with an attack of acute rheumatism, was very much better yesterday. Miss Morgan has recovered from her recent illness and can be found at her old post of duty at Friedman's, C. 8. Keenan, of S8henandonh, was at the Ogden yesterday, Frank Cox, of Atlantic, took in the | first-class city yesterday. G. H, Champ returned yesterday from a visit to Chicago and the east. Tha city council will meet to-morow afternoon to canvass the vote of last Monday. On account of the scarcity of mon- ey smony drunkards the stone pile is receiving quite a hit, This is good weather for coal deal- ors, we should say, from the amount of coal moving on our streets. The colored men of Council Bluffs ave manifesting quite an interest in our c‘:i:y affairs since they find ‘‘we is 8 fust-class city.” They held a meeting the other day for the purpose of taking into consideration the best means *‘fur to promote de” ravid growth of our city. Addresses were made by Messrs. Curtis, Johnsonand Alliers, Tho annual tax sale which began in this ity Tuesday was continued until the 17th. There was considerable scrambling after the property offered, Ninety-nine carloads of stock were received at the Union stock yards yes- terday. M. G.
