s [} GOUNGIL BLUFFS. General Ucr;urrancss Over the Way. A Wife Searching for a Faith- lees Husband, foott Goes for the Council and Quotos ths Lawe-Nows in Brief ——— THE L AST FOLLY. WHICH THE CITY COUNCIL HAS PEI PETRATED, Friday evening was certainly a sad one on board the little craft. Sick and disgusted with the whole outfit, the captain ordered the gang plank hauled on board. The roll was called and Keller, Spelman, Cavin, Dawson, able-bodied seamen, responded like the boy who stole the mince imeat. Fonda was not present, and we were thankful that he was not there to put himself on record in the meanest, most contemptible role ever enacted in the city council chamber of this city. Churchill and Phillips answered as if they knew what was right and just and had sense enough to allow no man to pull the wool over their eyes. Gen- tlemen of the city council, for the sake ot your standing in the commit tee, take that resolution introduced by Alderman Phillips from the table and pass it unanimously. What right have you to belittle this city in the manner you have done! . Have you no ccmmon sense! You aro all good business men. What right, we ask, have you to trample the wishes of twenty thousand people under yourfeet at the beck of a few who areas void of sense as brains? On Friday afternoon you did an act that will disgrace Council Bluffs for all, time to come, On the same evening Alderman Phil- lips offered the following resolution: Whereas, The error in the mayor's proclamation calling a special olection October 3, for the purpose of sub- mitting to the uulifiué electors of the city of Council Bluffs the question of abandoning the special charter of said city, and organizing under the general incorporation law of the state, was wonly u clerical one and one the law will not recognize as affecting the lo- gality of said election, and WuEREAs, the courts have decided that the misprint or change in word- ing of a ballot does not invalidate said ballot 8o fong as the intention of the voter is shown. Resolved, that the common council of the city of Council Bluffs proceed immediately to canvass the vote cast at the special election held October 3, 1881. Such was the opportunity offered you to place yourselves right upon the score. You refused to do so; and why? There is not one of youbut has sense envugh to know that there was no law, no justice, no sense in your act refusing to canvass the vote in the afternoon, Why did you refuse to perform your duty? ou cannot give an intelligent auswer any more than you nonlnfii asked why you allow 100 tons of rotten, stinking, nasty filth to be piled up in the very heart of our city, breeding pestilence and death. Wesupposed your intentions were good, but the course you are taking 1n regard to the new charter has dispelled all such belief. *‘Uncle” John Phillips says that by taking off his coat he has carried the «<ity once for the new charter and he belicves it will be considered sufficient under the law for all purposes intend- ed. But if it should be otherwise de- cided in the courts and weare driven to another election he will pull off his vest, and if need be, his shirt, LAWS QUOTED BY HON, C. R, 8COTT TO SHOW COUNCIL VOTED ILLEGALLY, To the Editor of Tix Bxe, Covxcin Brurrs, October 8,—On my return home I find that the city council on last Friday refused to can- vass the vote of the election held on last Monday to abandon the old and incorporate under the state incorpora- tion law. This is a stretch of as- sumed authority on the part of the mayor and city council in %0 face of 257 majority against them, well cal- culated to alarm and astound even the “friends" of those hangers-on to the city teet. Now what reason do they ive the people for this assumption of Jjudicial authority. First, That the mayor in his proclamation calling said election, designated 9 o'clock a. m., of the 3d inst, as the time of opening the polls, and 6 o'clock p.m., the time of closing the same, and also that no proclamation was made at or before opening the polls, and half hour be- fore closing same at said election. And sec. 011, code 1873, is cited by them to sustain these two points. That section has no application whatever to a specialfelection held by the electors of a city acting under a ap;oul charter to change her charter, ut section refers to and is only ap- gfclble to general elections lwl«f un- r the laws of the state for state, county and township officers as pro- Vi% cluglar 8 of the code. Bec- tion to 430 inclusive of chapter 10 contain scparate and special provis- sions and the only provisions govern- ing and controlling such elbe- tions as was held last Monda, and no provision is theremn mulz whatever for J)Mhmlfiofl at polls, of opening and closing; nor is there any vision therein for the mayor to E:ipuu in his proclamation time of opening and closing the polls. Hi assuming to do so is mere surplusage and has no force or validity. All he was authorized to do in his proclama- tion was just three tln‘u{;n, and noth- ing to-wit: lat, give no- tice of tion; 2nd, the ques- tion to fbe voted upon. and third day and places of voting. (See soction 436, code 1873.) But if he was required to give such notice and cither did not or made an error as to soine of it, it would not invalidate the election. Such matters are merely «directory and do not effect the legality of the election, (Towa, 212,) Nor will the election be invalidated by the omission of some duty of an officer <harged with giving notice thereof if ' in fact held. such_an election was (30 Towa supra.) The law states Jwhen the polls open and close, and the ms proclamation cannot add to or take from the law any of its pro- visions. The people are presumed to know the law. Now, had the mayor and city council any authority to re fuse to canvass the votes and order an election of officers to fill their place. We say no. Section 437, chapter 10, supra, pro- vides that ‘‘the abstracts of votes shall be returned to the city conncil, which was done,) who shall canvass the same and declare the result, which shall be entered on the journal,” And section 438 of the same chapter pro vides “that if a majority of the votes cast at such election be in favor of the abandonment of the charter, the council shall immediately call a spec- ial election for the election of officers for such corporation accord ing to its * class and defined by this chapter.” They have no authority or discretion in the matter but to canvass the vote and_call the election. 7th Iowa 186. The City Council must re- ceive the returns and count them. They have notning whatever to do with any legal questions that may arise, 'They are not judicial officers, but ministerial, ib 1d., and also p. 390 supra. In that case the court say “It is not correet to suppose that a board of canvassers (not even of this county) possess the power or authority to Judge of theso matters. The canvas- sers are only to receive the returns and count them,” citing numerous au- thorities in support of that principle. And yet in the face of the law and those adjudications these councilmen openly defy the laws of the land, and the pronounced will of the pevple at the polls and refuse to count or can- vass the vote for the sole purpose of perpetuating themselves in offices which the people have in no mistak- able tones demanded them vacate. Will they persist in thwarting the sin, in which city he worked at his trade, that of contractor and builder, while she kept a boarding house on a small scale on Lake strect. Finally, by dint of economy, they managed to build a house of their own on First avenue, Everything | went smoothly until a sister of hers came into the family. Sho was rather a fine looking girl and it was not long until an intimacy grew between her husband and sister. Her husband’s affeetions were transferred to the sis- ter and it became evident that the sis. ter was tho angel of that household and the wife was the slave. She had forgiven the two many acts, on ac- count of the relationship between them. But on one oceasion the wife was eye witness to a transaction that sank deep down in her heart. Ske waited until the performanc was over, when she confronted the hushand with a charge of infidelity and told him that one roof could not cover her sister and hersclf. “Very well,” he replied with a smile, ‘‘than your sis- ter must leave; T can never give up my wife for her.” In a very short time one of the hacks of the city car- ried the sister and her trunk to the Northwestern & Lake Shore depot, where she took her departure for Racine. Soon after her husband was taken with the western fever and a hack took him and his trunk to the same de- pot. The next his wife heard from him was through a letter written by him from Fremont, Nebraska, and mailed in Council Bluffs, Her sister has never written since she left. He wrote her at intervals of about three weeks, and all letters, barring the last one, which was received about Sept. 24th, were dated at Fremont and mailed in this city. The Iast letter was dated and mailed here. In this (referring to a communication from his wife wherein she declares her pur- pose of se'ling out there and coming to Council Bluffs) he speaks very dis- couragingly of the prospect, telling will of the people? C. R Scorr, CHURCH HISTORY. AS GIVEN BY REV. MR. CLELAND, THE PRESBYTERIAN CHURCH, Rev. T. H. Cleland preached an historical discourse yesterday en the quarter centennial anniversary of the organization of the church. That part referring to the history of the church is as follows: Rev. John Hancock, of Transylva- nia presbytery, was commissioned by the board of domestic missions to labor in Courcil Bluffs, to gather to- gether and build up a Presbyterian church. ' After two months labor it was decided to organize. According- ly, on the 12th of October, 1856, the organization was effected in the third story of Empire block, by Rev. L. G. Bell, under the care of the Presby- tery of Des Moines, with the following members;, Narcissa Beck, Malena R. Hardin, Martha E. ‘Hug- hart, C. W. Boyers, Sarah Ellen Pu- sey, Marin J. Hancock, Henry'P. Warren, Hannah L. Warren, James B. Rue, Thos. Officer, Eliza M. Offi- cer and Susan Lee. Thos. Ofticer and Jas, B. Rue were elected ruling cl- ders, and Cincinnatus W. Boyers, deacon, Services were held in Em- pire block, Concert hall, Keller's hall and the Congregational church. Mr. 4lancock’s pastorate continued till the spring of 1860, and he was succeeded y Rev. Wm, McCandlish who began his labors November 1, 1860, and re- mained two years. Rev. Jas. H. Clark succeeded as pastor December 1, 1802, and remained until the spring of 1866. Rev. Wm, Hamilton sup- plied the church temporarily. ' The present tor, then a licenti- ate, preached his first sermon here August 12, 1866, and was invited to become stated supply for one year. He was afterwards called to the pas- torate and was ordained to the gospel ministry and installed over this church April 28, 1867, The firat church building owned by the congregation was a plam frame structure erected on Pearl street, where the building of J. W. Rodefer now stands. The foundation of the present house of worship was laid in the summer of 1857, but owing to the stringency of the times the super- structure did not follow until 1860, It was completed and dedicated, free of debt, in November, 1866. The total OF her that the west was no place for her, and that (as she had expressed a desire to visit her mother in England) he would send her the money. She got the money, but instead of going to visit her-mother, she concluled to come west and find her husband, and, if possible, to discover what woman it was that was keeping her hushand so contented that he would be willing that his wife should cross the ocean and be gone a year or more. The woman is convinced that her hus- band and her sister are living together here in Council Bluffs or Omaha. The husband is a medium sized man, light complexion, rather good looking, has a large D in blue indelible ink on his breast, as put there by the English government after desertion from the army. The sister, who the wife thinks is with the hus- band, is a woman about fiveand a half feet in height, dark complexion, has black hair and eyes and is quite good looking. Mrs, Smith has placed her case in the hands of Officer Sterling, and it is to be hoped the guilty pair will soon be found. SPAULDING'S BENEFIT, A grand ball for the benefit of Jo- seph Spaulding, who lost an arm while engaged in firing a salute on Monday, the 26th of September, dur- ing the observance of the memorial exercises on the death of President Garfield, by the premature discharge of the cannon, will take place in this city next Wednesday evening, under the auspices of Abe Lincoln Post No. 39, G. A. R, and the Knights of Pythias. No object could be more worthy, Mr. Spaulding is a young man with quite a large family to sup- port, and all the means he had was the strong right arm that he lost. We hope to see a large turnout onthis occasion. HE DIDN'T KNOW, Saturday one of the newsboys rushed out of the Globa oftice, crying at the top of his voice, ‘‘Here's yer evening Globe; all about—" As he turned the corner on Broadway he met a stranger who purchased the pa- per, and stepping oneside and began its perusal. Up Broadway camec the boy again, “Here's yer evening Globe; all about—" _ The stranger looked at him a moment, and then said, ‘“‘My boy, ‘ail about’ what?” The boy litt- ed his uppur lip, grinned a little, and then replied, ‘‘Damfino; they told not to say all 'bout somethin’, I furgit witch," and around the corner he lit, cost of the lot, edifice and turniture was $17,270. LITTLE COUNCIL BUSINESS, Aside from the report of officers and the clerk of the finance commit- tee, Mr. Abbott, there was not much business befora the city council at its last sessi They did not feel much like it. Churchill had just purchased a new suit to wear to Chicago and this took up his attention. The committee appointed to investigato the powder house on Benton street, roported ad- versely. Churchill tried 1o get a sidewalk resolution through to estab- lish a walk on the east side of Sixth street, but it was voted down, Mr. Holmes introduced [ resolution requiring the mayor toissue his proclamation calling a second eleo- tion to vote on the question of aban- doning our city charter, Alderman Phillips asked further timo for his committee tu investigate Hon, O, R. Scott on the ground that it was almost impossible to keep them together lon, enough. Granted, Council adjourne to meet on call of the mayor, THE MAXOR WAS ADVISED, Mayor Vaughau says he was advised H men whom he supposed to be post- in regard to the hour the polls should be kept open and when ho found they were mistaken he went to every Preoinotlnd ordered them closed "at 4 oclock, AN ERRING HUSBAND. His BEING LOOKED FOR BY HIS ABANDONED WIFE, A well dressed and apparently re spectable lady arived in Council Bluffs SBaturday in search of hor way- ward husband, who has forgotten his marriage vows to such an extent as to leave the bosom of the woman he had sworn to love and cleave into that of another. To make it still harder for his outraged wifo that other is he own sister, Tur Bex reporter inter- viewed the grief stricken woman and [rum her own lips guthered the follow ing story: Beven yours ago last March she and her hushand cawe to Ameri- ca and settled in Milwaukee, Wiscon- The stranger folded up the paper and went toward the Ogden hntu‘. FURQUSON'S FOP LING, Dan Furguson was arrested last Sat- urday on complaintof a woman named Pikham, charged with an assault with intent to kill. This was a hard blow to Dan, harder than the one i icted on Mrs, Pinkham, in fact, for the reason she had becn, as she sup- posed,working herheartinon theassail- ant in the absence of Mrs. Furguson, his wife, for a year or more. It was cruel in the extreme in Furguson to 80 conduct himself in her presence as to believe he would take the life of tho woman who had secretely bestowed her affections upon him. But then he was drunk, It was whisky that maddened lus brain and made him forget even that he had a heart for a womsn to “affectionate” upon, and he took a knife in his hand, and flourished it in the air. She got frightened and believing her life endangered rushed to police headquarters and made the complaint as stated. Furgeson was arrcated and in default of l com- mitted. Now came Mrs, Fur, No. 1, hearing that her unfaithful husband was in trouble, With the instinct of a first love she was on deck ready to do anything to alleviate his sufferings. She at once put her iuge- nuity to work in his alf witha view if Souible of procuring the neces- sary bal REMENYI CONCERT, The Remenyi appeared in this city at Dohaney’s opera house Satur- day evening, and great in every sense of the term he proved to be in the eyos of a crowded house. Nearly overy chair was occupied by the best class of theater-goers. Everybody was delighted. He touched not only the ear but the heart. Some of Coun- cil Bluffs' best musicians ; pronounce him the peer of Ole Bull, " Tn fact he tock the house by storm, He appeared again Sunday evening on whigh occa- ) the management gave a sacred concert, E BOONE BEAUTY Miss Carr, the Boono beauty, says that her friends were altogether too ready to believe that she was about to THE OMAHA DAILY BEE: choose ways that were friends the fewer a girl or any one else has the bettor. The facts are that her father telegraphed the Sisters of Charity here to meet her at the de- pot. They were not there when the train arrived, and she not knowing where the school was did the next Yest thing, went to a horse car and gfcesoted to the Oftlen Hotel, There she met a gentleman friend who in- formed her where the school was, to which place she proceeded without delay.} ENJOYADLE GERMAN, Miss Lulu Jones and Miss Lihbie McMahon, at the residence of Mrs. John Jones on Sixth street, in this city, on last Friday evening, gave a “German.” The evening was exclu- sively devoted to dancing the “Ger- man,” which we understand has been recently introduced here and has al. ready become exceedingly popular. The entertainment was the finest and most select that has been given thus far this season. Among the ladies and gentlemen present on the above occasion we mention: Ernest Hart and Miss Lulu Jones led, followed by Chas, Stewart, Miss Dora Smith, W. E. Lawrence, Miss Libbie McMahon, Fred Kimball, Miss Maggie Do- hany, Burt Clinton, Miss Carrie Kintz, Dell Church, Miss Fannio Walker, W. F. Sapp, jr. Miss Ada Everett, James Bowman, Miss Emma Phillips, George Brown, Miss Sue Badolett, Horace Evans, Miss Hattio Moran, R. Ryan, Miss Mollie Rice. The figures danced were entirely now, qluitunnumber of them being original very odd and pretty. THE *BLUFFS IN DRIEF. C. R. Scott says the Council Bluffs returning board had no richt to go behind the returns to keep themselves in office against the wishes of the people. J. M. Palmer says: ‘‘Pitch the whole can can out of the back win- dow. " The Herdic coaches will be running on our streets as soon as they are paid for. Due notice will be given.
