An in- vestigation and a little detective business satisfied the management that some of the boys, after selling thelr papers, picked up subscribers’ pipers and returned them to the office as unsold. When the boys were charged with the conspiracy and checks refused them there was a lively scene, Hurd words filled the air and a general whoop of war weut up.

There is a fine ico field ready for operation on this side of the river, opposite the smelting works, where for a mile streteh there is extra good ice extending a width of 400 foet.

A Plan for Making Wagons and Carriages in Coun- cil Bluff's, A Proposition Backed Up by $50,000 Cash At the citizens’ ning a very important propo- meeting held Sat urday sition 1.. Shugart, which was to the effect that five men of means had §50,000 in cash ready to invest in a w a8 presented through M, mand car actory, but the location was not finally decided upon. These men proposed to locate the new factory property of the old agricultural works can be so- cured forthe factory purposes. There ,000 of this stock of the old agricultural works which had been do- here, providing that the was nated to this new enterprise, so that $20,00 of this old stock needed to be secured. This could he bought up at about ten cents on the dollar, and part of it conld be secured, doubtless a donation. There were three lots in the blocks which ought to be purchised. Tt was estimated that to buy wup the balance of the old stoek of the agri- cultural works and to purchase these three lots about 00 would bo needed. Tt was proposed that if the citizens would raise the amount necessary to secure the balance of this st and the lots, these five men would put in them $50,000 cash, and would as speedily as possible have in operation here a wagon and carriage factory, of as great an extent as could be conducted on 850,000 capital, and as the business warranted more money would be put into The fact was Inuuth out that some time ago on a proposition to start a wind-mill factory a committee ot five citizons secured subecriptionsamount- ing to about $4,000. That enter-. prise fell through, and it was sugzest- ed that this same committee hunt up this old subscription list and revisit theso samo subscribers, it being be- lieved that nearly all of them would consent to transferring their subserip- tions to this new and better enter- prise. It was decided that this old com- mittee should be thus called upon to serve, and to roport at as carly a date as possible, The men who thus stand ready with $50,000 cash are anxious to begin lay ing brick at once, and if this old prop- erty now lying in disuso and ruin, ¢ bo procured at once the new tactory will be located here, and will hegin its To secure this from 0 will be needed, There remains the simple and proeti cal question whother the citizens wio t the factory bad enough to give thi amount, From the sentimonts cx sed at the mecting, it seemed would be no trouble in securing enongh to foster those making this proposition and establishing the fac- tory on the site proposed. only about c- PERSONAL, Judge 1 opens court i Audubon county t ¥ County Super rested at home y F.

The Citizers “eem Apxious to Becure a New Opera House at an Barly Date. The Plans Suggested and the Steps Taken, There was a large attendance at the citizens meoting held Saturday night at the board of trade rooms to con sider the question of building a new Shugart called the gathering to order and on motion opera house. E. L W. C. James was callod upon to pre- side. There chanced to be present Rev. Dr. D, Banks McKenzie, of Salt Lako City, who has had considerable experionco in erccting largo buildings for various charitable purposes and was called upon to give the citizens tho benefit of his experienc the details of the Lake City, which is just ahout heing completed, at a cost of 0. He stated that the necessary funds were sccured by issuing stock m one dol shares, which were gure to bring per cent interest, in time, Mr. J. J. Brown was called upon. He rencwod his proposition, already mide public, it being that he would furnish suitable ground and invest £10,000 in cash beside, provided vhe citizens would tuke enough interest to raise the balance needed. He would do this provided he had control of the enterprise, but did not jmake this proposition because of any scheme of his own, but simply becauss he folt that the city needed # new opera house, and he desired to see some plan earricd into execution which would attain that olject. He had no particular plan to insist upon, but said that he would, Hesides furn- ishing the grounds, issuc bonds, run ning twenty years and drawing si per cent. interest. He would him- self put 510,000 into these bonds, and lhnuu ens conld take the rest, ring the honds to be held -thm than sold in the market. He th it ho could secure a location at the col r of Brooklyn and Sixth strects 000 or 8 1t had been suggested to him that a stock company be formed, If this could be done successfully he would go into that, but thought the bond system would prove better, as stock companies were cumbersome and more liable to troubles arising concerning the management of the enterprise, Mr. Shugart stvongly favored Mr. | Brown’s plan, and thought the latter to be just the man to manage the mat- ter. He thought the proposition should awaken prompt action. Mr. L. W. Tulleys expressed him- self in favor of the bond system, and thought there would be no trouble in having the bonds taken. The Omaha opera house bonds were at par. Dr. McKune said he was in favor of the bonds rather than stock. With a stock company there was no knowing where the power would drift toin course of time, The bond plan was simple and more satisfactory. He moved the appointment of a commit- tee of seven to consider the matter, and report to a meeting to be called by them. The motion passed and the chairman was given until to-mor- row to anrounce the names of those selected by him. . — The Circuit Court, He gave building in Salt One week from to-day the circuit opens its term, Judge .
