i £ ; COUNCIL BLUFFS. General Ocourrences Over the Way. A Remark of Barnum's Fat Girl, Special Election Probable in the Near Future. SPECIAL ELECTION, ONE, IT APPEARS, MUST BE CALL AT ONCE. The question of what kind of a city government we are to have for Coun il Bluffs has heen finally setiled, and we have no doubt when we get to run- g under our new charter no one will be found who will not say it is for the best. There is another impor- tant question asked: Would it be best to have a new election immediately / Men who ask this question believe it would be the better plan to wait until our regular election in the spring, and give the fol- lowing among the many reasons: that should the city council determine upon calling an election at the present time they would be obliged to give ten days notice. After the clection it would take about thirty days before the old government was out and the new one in. There would only be about ninety days that the new mayor and council would serve before there would be another election called again., There is no citizen who would want the oftice bad enough to make the race for ninety days. The code (section 438) provides that if a majority of the votes cast at the election be in Jfavor of the abandonment, the council shall immediately call a special election, and that from and after the election and qualification of such officers the former charter of such city shall be considered abandoned. 8o it would seem that an abandonment of the old charter is not effected until the officers under the new charter are elected and qualified. and that our present city government will be in operation until these officers are elected and qualified, That the time between the election and the qualification of the new offi- cers elected is covered by the special charter to all intents and purposes. When the proposition to make the change has been received by the peo- ple, and they have voted in the affirmative, the work has only been commenced. That .the sumpls fact we have decided to abandon the old charter by a majority of the votes cast l{m‘! not work an abandondonment until we have ta- ken the other steps, elected our new officers and have them qualify for their duties, So there seems to be no al- ternative but to proceed now to the calling of a special election immedi- ately. There may be something in the shortness of the terms those whom we' elect will be called upon to serve, yet as our first city government is to be selected from our best citizens, without regard to party affiliations: In order 5:“. we may get started right, che time between now and our annual spring election can be em- ployed in geiting the machinery of the new city in running order, whereas if we wait until spring 1t wall be the first of June before we get down to businees under the new regime. THE FAT GIRL'S REMARK WITH THE PROBADILITY THAT SHE MAY BE CORRECT. While our City Attorner; Holmes was examining the little fat girl at Barnum’s side show, she would have it that he had no sense, and judging from the resolution he offered before the city council declaring the vote to abandon our city charter as illegal on the ground that the polls were not closed in compliunce with Mayor Vaughan's broclamation, at 6 o'clock, but instead at 4, it may be true. There may be some senso in such a resolution, but there is no law. The statute provides that on city election days the polls shall be closed at 4 o'clock, and the mayor's proclamation has no more to do with it than Mr. Holmes' or Mr. Judson's would. Mayor Vaughan, in his proc- lamation, intended to fix the hour in accordance with the code. Thinking it read ‘6 o'clock,” and finding his mistake on election day he went to each precinct and or- dered them closed at 4 o'clock. As to any mistake in the wording of the ballots thrown by some of the veters, 80 long as there was enough to con- vey the intent of the elector it is sufti- cient under the law. There is no use, tlemen, You can't escape living in a city of the first class, The edict has gone forth and tlie less troublo you put the people to the more skin you will have on your bodies when you go out of oftice. The best you can is to throw such chafly resolutions to the winds and meet like men, count the vote, find the expressed wishes of the elecrors and declare it. Then call the election and as many of you who wish to remain in the council enter the field and make the fight. SUSPENDING THE RULE, Alderman Dawson Phillips, and St. Alderman Andy Graham got in- to an express team in front of Eise- man's store on Broadway, and the horses were 80 embarrassed when they found so many noted citizens be- hind them that they kicked and twisted and turned; finally the off horse got his left hind leg over the pole.

One of our western girls is creating quite a sensation down at Vassar col- lege getting off jokes on the other young ladies. As there are some fif- teen or twenty there from Council Bluffs, the following may be of some interest: ““Oh, girls, I heard just the best thing to day, It was too funny. I can’t remember how it came about, but one of the girls said to Prof. Mitchell —oh, dear, 1 can’t remember just what she said, but Prof. Mitchell's answer was just too funny forany use; 1 forgot just exactly what he said, but it was too good for anything.” NO GROUND FOR IT. The case «f the state of Towa va, Wm. Wykoff, transferred from Jus- tico Franciz: to Justice Ab- bott’s court, was called before his honor yesterday afternoon, and there not beng sufticient evidence to sus- tain either charge against the young man, he was discharged.

The women declared that he fived a pistol at then It turns out however that he firing (as stated in I'nr BEE) at almost anything but these women.
