The de facto city council met at the city building on last Friday, and in the face of the fact that they are not recognized as the de jure council of Oouncil Bluffs, went through the usual routine of transacting business. Churchill, Dawson, Unthank,;Keller, Fonda and Spetman, on call of the roll, answered. The minutes of the previous moeting were approved with- out being read. Bills were allowed without let or hindrance. Several mote ealoons were eatablishod, The salaries of police depart- mont were increased, to enablo them to better ferrot out crime, including the chief of police, who was allowed 00 per month. Without roquesting it they raised tho pay all around, and to make the money come a little easicr an extra policoman was added to the force, with the increasod alary Tho reason given for raising the salary of our police force was that srovisions and clothing had advanced. o hope theso gentlemon will remem- per this when they come to count out their own money to their hired mon next pay day. The report of George W. Drake, engincer appointed to resurvey ave- nue G, shows that thero woro 9006 cubic yards of dirt hauled under the contract with John C. Leo, which is from 76 to 100 yards more than our city engineer made it; so this will for- ever yut at rest any imputation that Mr. Judson connived with any party to cheat or defraud the city. Justice Abbott, clerk of finance committee, made his report of ac- counts audited, amounting since April 1st, 1881, to the sum of $16,732.86. These figures do not include the finan- cial operations for October Mr. Ab- bott, in making his veport, explained our inabody to Grand Army hall, on Pearl stroet, where the camp fires were burning and a most sumptuous soldier's ropast was spread. YITHIR COUNOTL, ORNSURED BY “Would you like to attend this connc “No, not this council, kome other council ““Ta, ta, coune 1." King Richard IT1, act 2, scene 1. Among the proceedings of the city council, not included in the report of the previous regular program, was the adoption of the following elaborate preamble and resolution, in which the expressions “‘this couneil” *‘the coun- cil” ocour seventeen timos, indicating the literary taste of the autlor: Whereas, tho common council of tho city of Council Bluffs have always been courteous and accommodating to the persons engaged in the roporting of procecdings and news from the common council in the eonsideration of public business being transacted by the conneil, and to this end have at no time hindered any newspaper ro- porter in this business, but hove will- ingly permitted tho uso of and granted every opportunity and facility to make and havo the proceeding of the coun- cil published for the benefit of all por- sons interested therein; and Wiennas, We find and see on the adjournment of every council the greatost abuso of the courlesy ex- tended to one C. K. Adame, the local reporter of Tix OMAHA Bk, o news- paper puplished in & foreign city, in tho statement of facts and record proceedings of the council, and that the said Adams, without rerard to facts, misrepreseuts the proceedings of the council, as well as the motives of the indwvidual members of the council and other officers of the city of Council Bluffs, in an ungeatle- manly way, as to himself and to the common council, in the wilfully per- verso medium of his misrepresenta- ion of facts and procecdings of this council, therzhy wilfully abusing the confidenco of this council and tho public as to facts, and the courtesy ex- tended to him by this council; thoroe- fore be it Resolved, That we hereby express our contempt for such willful abuse of ourselves and the public as to pro- ceeding, and the facts scted upon by this council, and that the said C. K. Adams may still enjoy the courtosy of this eounctl in the wuso of the city ehairs and desks to prepare articloy of accomplished graduates of standard medical achools, among whom may be creditably mentioned Mrs. Dr. Bur. roughs, whose office and home are on First avenue. During her educational course this lady had two years hospi- tal practice at the Cleveland Medical College, and since she has resumed this &8 her home has been gradually surclyiwerking her way into an ent practice both hero and at Omalia, which city she also visits twico a week. For obvious and sat- infactory reasons the expansion of her practice {8 among her own sex, and her success in cases is already attract- g favorablo notice, G. A R, CAMP FIRE, Wo have attended several camp fires given by the Grand Army boys since the war, but none that surpasscd the one lighted on Pearl strect Friday evening, Wo followed afar off the members of the city council, and be. hind them and the mayor we entored the hall, There the council wore met by Colonel I. B. Dailey, who escorted tho honorable body ~ through the apacious hall into the auditoriom, This room was brilliantly lighted and very beautifully and tastefully deco- rated with flags and bunting. On the bascat the right were seated Hon, Joseph R, Reed, Colonel W. F. Sapp, Captain Georgo Carson and Justice John W, Baird. Everybody was moving abatit in the most socinl man- ner. Several picces of familiar and appropriate music were played and sung, while the *‘aldermanic beans” and other edibles were being prepared in an ante-room. Presently a porter announced that all was ready, and the mayor and city council, escorted by Colonel Dailey, J. C. Da Haven and E. F, Holmes entered the ante room in which the supper was pre- pared. Everything that could please a soldier or a hungry councilman was spread before them — cold ham, cold mutton, baked beans, ‘hard tack” (but not so hard as we were provided with during the wm?. hot coffee, ete. Well, you ought to have seen those aldermen and Abbott, who sat at one end of the table, go for the baked benns. It was enough to make a Yankeo blush away back behind his ears, and one would have thought to have seen Keller, Fonda and Spetman eating that it was their last meal be- ore execution. The mayor was misrepresontations and deceit as ho has herotofore done, and that we do hereby express the most complete con- tempt for the said ‘‘Omaha Bee” and the person aforesaid employed by it to deceive and misrepresent tie facts and prosceding ot this conusel, gained rom public meetings of this council; and that these regolutions be printed and entered on the recordsas « part of the proceeding of this council. ‘The foregoing was written by our city attorney and 1ntroduced before to the council what the the word mis- cellaneous meannt, in a very, (school) masterly manner Permission was granted N. J. Bond to ocoupy ocity property for tho pur- pose of erecting corn shellers and scales for a term of five yoars, A communication from city engin- eer Judson was read wherein ho cau- tions the city council in regard to tak- ing steps to construct the Levee, That it should be built to the high ground in Street's addition {f com- menced beforo work 18 suspended, He thinks that before anythinz is done he should be furnished with spec- ifications, Dawson offered a resolution, that the council allow Mr. Vorhees the sum of 860 for services while he has been laid up with a broken ankle, caused by his horse falling upon him in some way. The council voted to cut off all li- brary funds, excep ing what they were obliged to raise under the laws of the state. Petition of H. J Roynolds, for a remission of his licenso monay for a saloon, was granted. Col. D. B. Dailey appeared for Mr. Reynolds, and in a few sympathetic remarks re- minded the council that Mr, Reynolds was & member of the grand army of the republic. That fora long time 10t only had he been sick and unable o do work, but that his wife and amily had experienced the same hard ate ~ He hoped tho council would onsider Mr. Reynold's condition and remit tho license feo. Mr. Dailey then, in eloquent terms, praised the council and extended an invitation for them to ropair at the close of the council procecdings to the spacious hall of the grand army of the repub. lic, there to aid in disposing of a sol- diers’ feast in time of peace, The following names as candidates for policeman were presented: By Churchill, Mr, Tyson; by Fonda, Ed, Bates; Koller presonted the name of Mortez; Mr. S, otman the namo of Plum Jackson. 'The balloting began and resulted in the sclection of Mr. Churchill's man The committee to whom was re- forred the mutters of Messrs. Ofticer and Purcival, in regard to Indian creek damages, reported adversely. The council nrduch the eity enginver to survey and give Mace Wise the line of Indiau creek, Mz, Field roported the amount col- lected for saloon licenses during the month, §1,156; circus, $75; *‘Princy of Whales,” 810, The mayor, with a wink, remarkdd 1at this was quite a good showing for second class city. The report of the city surveyor owed that he had weighed 719 loads ¢ coal during the month, The peti- aon of Wm, Welch to be allowed to erect .scales on Tenth street was granted. The petition of the members of Res- eue engine cowpany to be allowed to solect the driver of the new hoso cart was, on motion of Mr. Chucchill, ro- ceived, to be considered with other lpg‘liunu. 'he petition of George F. Wright, D. C. Bloomer aud others that Biuff street be opened was, on motion of Mr. Unthank, referred to the alder- men of the third ward, to report at the next mueting. The petition of J, J. Stewart, at- torney for ,Bearbu-y, asking that the city take immediate action to seti o the caso was referred to the city ut- torney. Communication from Peter Hordic published in Tiux Ber last Saturday offering to furnish the city with a system of water works was read, re- ceived and placed on file. After transacting other unmportant matters, the council uccepted Col- onel Dailey's iuvitation and repaired our “‘do facto” city government last Friday ovening by one of the Big 4 ‘“‘de facto” aldermen, E. R. Fonda, one of the U. P. cabmen, better known as ‘‘Chapman’s hairless cheru bim.” In presenting the above, the cabman stated that he had been abused and stung by Tur Bke long enough. That he was tired of it. “Theother day that paper said I was foolish, and if they are allowed to go on I am afraid taoy will prove it. If it appeared in some papers I would not say one word, but ‘I'nx Beg has & wide circulation all through this state and the west, is taken all over Ne- braska, away up the Platte river, whero Lam known. Theso are my reasons, gentlemen, for asking ycu to pasas this resolution,” After the cabman had concluded, Mr. Churchill moved that it be laid on the table, Mr. Dawson said that Tz Bre had made light of the proceedings when they should be treated with grave solemnity. He for one should vote in favor of the resolution. A vote was taken, resulting in its passage; Fonda, Dawson, Keller and Spetman voting in the aflirmative, Churchill and Unthank in the negative. Phil- lips and Cayin wore not present. As will bo observed theso charges are mado without any “‘in that's” or specifications of what was pub- lished which has been = considered cowardly and dishonorable. Hyen among the filth and slimoe of an ancient or modern “‘Asatia” sinca lost, with- out money or without price, on Monday mornings, following each council mecting, we have given ' full and completo account of tho proceed- ings of the city council. That we have at vimes erred in our report wo do not deny, but we say in truth, dur- ing all this time neithor by letteror word has our attention been but once ealled to a mistake we had made in our report of facts and this was a mistake in a financial reckoning. Wo have not always pnblished tho de- bates ver batim, we have too much ro- spect for Council Bluif and her system of free sehools. They censuro us bo- cause we dared to accuse them of wil- fully and maliciously diagracing our city in the eyes of the civilized ‘world, in rofusing to examine the returned abstracts, declare the rosult and call a new eloction as the law requires them to do. We say no mattor how honest personally theso men may be, to defy tho will of the voters of this city ex- pressed at tho polls (which said in lan- guage as plain as that which appeared on the wall at the feast of Bel- shauzor, ‘“You have boen weighed in the balance and found wanting”) is a willful, disgraceful and foolish viol tion of a public duty on general prin- ciples. Ordinarily we should feel very much grieved to be cansurod by the city eouncil of a city of 20,000 in- habitants, for trying to do our duty towards them by attacking wrong wherever it way appear, on our streets,“in our saloons or in the halls of our city legislsture, But coming from a set of men who, like dunces, are t0o iguorant to be of any public uso and too stubbora to learn, who for willfully refusing to do a sworn duty are existing daily under the shadow of a criminal proseeution, and areonly kept from behind the bars by the honds of sympathetic friends, we shall resorve our tears for a move fit- ting occasion, DESERVED SUOCESS. Notwithstanding the unfavorable season for the liea th of westorn citics, owing to heavy rairs and the conso- quent tendeiey to bad malaria, Coun- cil Bluffs is remarkably healthy this season, The doctors aro only reason- ably busy. Of these, however, weo have a considerable nwmbor, all well- read in their profession. The female sox is represented by several who are dreaming of the million that is in storo for him when the Herdics get under full headway. John Baird sat there watching both tins of beans of best he could, while he plied the spoon to the nearer ono. Wa did not eat much, as our attention was entirely taken up with thoughts of that resolution. The mayor and city council can thank Col. Daily and the Grand Army boys for a most enjoyable midunight feast. NOT PARTICULAR. A family consisting of man and wifo and threo children applied to Mr. Brown, foreman in the Nonparoil book bindery last Saturday for work. Mr. Brown asked the man if he ex- pected to get work for the family, he said ho was not ‘‘particular as ter that if the old woman could get a job. Ho would stay ter home and take keer of the chilaren.” RANDOM SHOTS. Personally we have nothing against the city council in their private bus- iness they are men of honor and the highest basis capacity. But while they are filling a public trust we claim the right to criticise their acts, aud they eannot frighten us by resolutions either. The printing of those resolutions of censure oost the tax payers of Council Blufls $20. Any one would suppose that the Big 4 had never been stung by a “Beo” Bo 4. WANTED TO SLAP HIM. Quite a_ disgusting scene was wit- nessod on Broadway, A man whose business seems to be to carry a banjo around under his arm got into a war of .words with a woman, presumed to bo Lis wife. He was threating to strike her and soemed to be trying to get her on 8ome out-of-the: way “street, where unmolested by a citizen he could carry out his threat. At the corner of Bryant street and Broadway he wanted her to go down the former street. But she was too sharp for him. He grabbed hold of her arm and declared she should go that way or ho would give all she wanted. A man by the namo of Kenne happened along and remarked to the man that if he dared to strike that woman there ou the street ho should take a hand in the affaiv. The wife declared if her husband didn't let her alone she would slap him in the face, big as he was, “Never mind his size, madam," said Kenne, “slap hima good one; 1'll go you halves.” Between Kenne and his wife the man became quite recon- ciled to the fact that he better let her alone, and they walked down quite peaceable to their boarding house, PRESENTATION. At the Grand Army camp fire on Friday evening, Mayor Vaughan, in behalf of himself and members of the city council, in an upprnrrinu speech presented the boys with a splendid to improve the moral condition of our city and give it a higher tone. * A regular monthly meeting of the board of trade will be held this even- ing at their rooms on Pearletreet. A largo attendance of members is de- sircd, as important busidess will be transacted, Cy. Danforth has so_far recovered n4 to be able to come down stairs and joke a little. He has passed the criti- cal point, aud will no doubt recover very rapidly now, We are informed that a couple of young bloods from the country came to the city quite Jate on Saturday night, got on considerablo steam, re- paired to one of our “alley girl” dens, hitched their horses ontside, where the poor creatures remained until about b6 o'clock on Sunday morning. But perhaps the horscs will feel the best in the long run, A man under the influenco of the ardent, appoaring more like an escaped lunatic than anythmg, walked into the stoel engraving of the battle of Get- tysburg, The beautiful picture will be formally accepted at the camp fire next Friday evening. BTEAL OR STARVE, A woman, mother of a lad who was arrested yesterday, appeared at polico headquarters yesterduy in behalf of her son, to try and get himn released. She said that she was out of fuel, and her boy was all she had to depend upon. That sho was in destitute cir- cumstances; that all she had had for a month from the county was one sack of flour; that she must have fuel to keep them warm if the police arrested them in the act. Sho said that the city had only one oflicor who had a heart in him, and that was Mayor Vaughan, and his wife was just like him, MISCELLAN EOUS NEWS, Look out for the grand Herdie pa- rade. To-day the Herdies will be formally introduced to the publie. Thoy will be drawn through tho prin- cipal streots headed by the Herdic band. Cyrus Hawmlin, in hissermon yostor- day afternoon, very eloquently and foclingly pictured the condition of BOIG ufv the boys upon our streets, who he claimed were wanderers on the faco of the earth, satiated with pro- fauity and thoughts of crime. He thought it the duty of the business men of the city to doall in their power council chamber during the session of that honorable body, and inquired if | co he had a friend amongst them that would furnish him a night's lodging. Mayor Vaughan informed him that 1f [P he would go down and make applica- tion to Chief Field he no doubt would bo accommodated. This the man did with success. A horse belonging to Georze A.
