A Narrow Escape From a Pistol Ball, The most important interest con- aected with any city government 1s that which touches the vockets of its tx payers, yet there is no interest so little understood. The people annual ly elect their mayor and city council, and into their keeping put the run- ning of the government and the gen eval caro of our city affairs. They, o be sure, have the to protect them, but it is only now and then we have a tax payer who is interested snough in the welfare of the city to see that those who have the handling of the purse-strings are kept within its pale. Some time ago our city fathers were brought to realize the fact that there was something wrong in the way they were managing our city affairs. They found that they had, contrary to law, made SPECIAL LEVIES for several purposes, as, for instance, Fairview park, Indian creek, Vaughan avenue and Union avenue. Several of our tax payers began to beheve that the matter of taxes, unless they were checked, would become a ques- tion of serious thought, and they com- menced proceedings to n-nljnin the col law lection of said special levies. The conncil, about four weeks ago, a resolution that all levies for special purposes should be consolidated with the general fund. "Phis, of course, was contrary to law— for when a special levy has been made for a special purpose they have no right to divert it from ITS PROPER CHANNEL antil the work has been completed, when the surplus may be turned into the geneial fund. Under Colonel Cochran’s administration the council passod an ordinance thatorders should not be drawn on the general fund to exceed ninety per cent of the levy As will be seen by Recorder Burk's report, general fund orders have reached, since April 1, $38,835.8), which is $8,635.79 in excess of the “luvy last spring for general fund pur- poses, being one per cont of the $3,000,000 valuation. Finding out the above condition of things at their last meeting, the council rescinded the CONSOLIDATING RESOLUTION, separating the special from the gencral fund levy, and all special work here- atter done will be paid for in orders drawn on funds illegally levied, and these orders will be worth whatever g«ple make up their minds to value em at, Now, we have always been willing to give our city ceuncil credit for be- ing business men of unswerving integ- rity, but when we view the financial record made during the past year, we oonclude that they have certainiy been LED ASTRAY by some means, and have put upon this community thousands of dollars worth of paper without any legal fund 10 meet it. With a general fund levy overdrawn and the special funds ille %al, according to several decisions of our courts, it looks to ‘‘an old salt up a pine” as if ‘“‘them ar fellers steerin’ that ar craft dun't put the helin hard a port thar'll be a wreck on this 'ere coast.” Some months ago, on motion of Al- derman Keller, the council voted to take from the mayor all PURCHASING POWER, which deprived him of the commis sions usually allowed the head of our city government. There has been no vote of the wouncil restoring this power, yet we are informed that our city recorder has issued an order to Wy the mayor these commissions, © hope that this 18 not true—not that we would not like to see our mayor reatored to full power in this regard, but we want it 1‘] ne through the proper channel. The council found a legal way to tuke it from him, and the same way is open to restore it if they deem proper. ATROCIOUS ASSAU About the time the crowd filled the Methedist church to listen to Rev . G. Lemen's celobrated lecture on *Crime in Our City,” a most atrocious and cowardly assault was made upon J. Jennings, one of Council Blufls ost honored and respected citizons, who carries on the grocery business with his son, on Upper B.oadway. Mr. Jennings left his store about dark to go to his supper. His little dog accompanied him. . When in the icinity of the residence of William Po , opposite the church, he met a young man by the name of Shields, who was accompanied by a companion and A BULL boG, At sight of Mr. Jennings' bird dog the bull dog made fight, closing his teeth on him. At this Mr. Jennings grabbed the bull dog and tried to pull him off. Mr. Shields, the owner of the bull dog, stepped up to Mr. Jen. nings and struck him a cruel blow in the teeth, fellng him to the ground. He then jumped upon him and struck him several times, until the old man was insensible, in which state he left him covered with blood. He was CARKIED TO HIS HOME, Shields was immedi tely arrested ? Ofticer Clough, taken before udge Burke, and bound over to an swer to a charge for assault with ir tent to commit great bodily injury. Mr. Jennings is & man about 50 years _ age, peaceable aud inoffensive. His assailant is & young man about 22 and has recently been employed at the transfer, EDITH GREY, the celebrated shootist, was taken from the county jail yesterday after noon, and in charge of an officer was marched to the police headquarters to answer to the charge of discharging firearms within the city limits, Her would-be “‘game”’ not entering any complaint of a graver nature, no other person scemed disposed to in tertere in behalf of the state. On the call of lier case she answered ‘‘Not guilty,” but soon after retracted n_nd plended guilty. Judge Burke im posed the highest penalty under the ].\w in such cases, namely, 830 and costs, which amounted to 85, The unfortunate girl is rather prepossess ing in her appearance, and no doubt is possessed of a very strong will. She stated before the court that on the evening of THE SAD AFFAIR, sho was robbed of twenty-five dol lars on the way to the county jail or after she arrived there. She claims that she had two tens and one five dollar bill in her stocking, and that it was certainly taken by some person who had charge of her. As she miss- ed her mark thistime we hope she has learned a lesson and when she wants to do any more shoting she will do it somewhere elee instead of in the public streets. AN ARREST. D. McDonald, sherift of Woodbury county, arrested H. A, La Al"orrun(, the young man accused of taking sev- enty-five dollars belonging to the por- ter of the Ogden hotel, Wm. H. Smith: also a thirty . dollar overcoat, the property ot one of the guests of the hotel. He was arrested at Sioux City. When he ved there he de- posited twenty-five dollars in abank, and drew the same out the day before the arrest was made He was taken before Judge Burke who held him to answer to the charge of grand larceny before the grand jury. In default he was committed to the county jail. CRIME, A man who gave his name as Rus sell was arrested by Officer Cusi¢ charged with the crime of larceny and wus committed to jail to await exami nation, Delia Nicholson, the Swede who was arrested Saturday for being drunk and wallowing in the mud and taken to the county jail until she was in a condition to be examined, was brought before Judge Burke who im- posed the usual fine. BARGE LINE BUSINESS, The parties intercsted in securing the south end of Big Lake from the city for barge line purposes complain that they have been unable to procure signatures to their petition for the right to occupy the lake as a site to er rect o basin upon, also the waters of tho same. They say that there are parties in St. Louis who have money they are willing to risk in the new en- terprise, which is a barge line between this city and St. Louis. They believe that the prospect is a feasible one, They ought not to have much dif- ficulty, if they really mean business, to procure what they ask from the city. There is no telling what some men can do when they sot out, and if they have money to put in a barge line between these two cities they should be encouraged. QUITE AN ACCIDENT, which might have proved very serious, happened on Twul}th avenue yester- day afternoon. A lady drove up to a house leaving her little girl outside in a buggy. The horse took fright at a piece of brown paper which blew across the street in front of him and ran away, overturning the vehicle and throwing the little girl out upon the ground, Fortunately she was well wrapped up or she would no doubt have received serious if not fatal in- juries, MORE INCREASING BUSINESS, The business before the auditor or this county has increased to such an extent as to demand larger quarters and the county board, at their last session, voted to take down the par- tition between the auditor’s oftice and the sherifl’s office. The recorder’s oftice will be partitioned off and the west ond used by the sheriff until a new court house is constructed. TO THE RESCUE. Rescue's will hold forth at & Nixon's hall to-morrow Everybody who can should attend, they will not only have a grand time but stand a chance of securing a grand prize. UNION SERVICES, There will be union scrvices this evening at the Baptist church, A short discourse will be delivered by one of the pastors of the church, LEMEN'S LECTURE, The Bloom evening, Rev. .J. G. Lemen had oceasion to be proud of his audience at the Moth- odist church. The spaciousauditorium was filled to overflowing at an early hour, hundreds being turned away for want of standing room. The lec- ture, with a few additions and changes, was the samo delivered orig inally 1 the Baptist church. The prenchor pictured in sad but vivid colors the crime that is openly and covertly carried on in our midst, and seemingly before the eyes of those in authority, without letting him dwell, Mr. Lemen, in eloquent terms, de manded that overy law-abiding citizen sot his faco solidly against the keepers of these dens of infamy, and take such courso as will show ‘o them on which side shey propose to stand in the future The discourse was listened to with the closest attention by all present The audience was made up of all classes and conditions of society, and yet the utmost decorum was main- tained to the end, ABLE SELECTION J. H. Rhodes, of Boston, who re cently visited Council Blufls, and was 80 fayorably impressed with its future prospects, has returned and engaged as traveling salesmen for Harrington & Newell, proprietors of the Cou Blufls stove polish and boot blacking manufactory. In selecting their sales men this firm makes ita point to pro- cure the ablest men wuihlu.mns in Mr. Rhodes they wi&l not be disap- pointed NARROW ESCAPE, If Justice Abbott had not dodged out of his chair to get his supper when he did he would have been the victim of the mad woman on Friday night, as one of the balls entered his window in direct range of the chair he was ocoupying. BAD BITE Officer Jackson says he has fished around in this western country a good many years and he never before has felt such a “‘bite” as the one he had Friday night, when he caught the in furiated female. GOVERNMENT JOI, Mr. E. Harold Hilton, A, M., re cent graduate of the university of Michigan, son of Mrs. Dr. Hilton, of this city, took his departure for Wash ington, D. C., last evening, to fill an appointment under Gen, Hazen, JACK, OLD BOY. Ex-special officer Jackson is very much worried for fear he may have an attack of the hydrophobia as a re sult of the bite from the mad woman last Friday night. PERSONAL, Gilbert and Eicher can be heard every day exclaiming: “I-c-e! what 1 sec The outlook for the cooling ingrediont next summer certainly does not look very flattering.
