They Disceurse Excellent Music and Give the Promise of Still Better Things. This city has in its midst a youthful musical organization, which has been quictly and modestly at work for some montks, but, though deserving of it, las neither sought nor had public The organization is at present Blufls band, and consists of fifteen members, notice known as the Council Boys who are supplied with excellent in- struments, and by their persistent practico have beconno quite proficient. This band commenced only last July, Prof. Berry being the organizer and instructor. The boys at that time know nothing about music, but they applied themselves with a will, and under his able instruction have gained 0 much is not only to reflect great credit upon him but to entitle them to honor.

Among the plans on foot is one for attending the firemen's tour- nament at Muscatine next June. ¢ — TWO PICTURES. A Strange Contrast in the Life of One of Council Bluffs' Citizens, One of the old residents of this city, now enthusiastic in church work, and of respected standing, narrated the other eveningat the Broadway Metho- dist church a change in his own man- ner of living, He pictured two scenes quite glowingly. One of them was years ago, when he, a young man, was allured into the ““Ocean Wave,” which then stood on the present site of the Methodist church. In this “‘Ocean Wave"” he became charmed with the flash of a fast life, and was led into a life of gambling, which he kept up for years. He finally saw that there were two sides to a gam- bler's life, and that while one was brilliant and seemingly jolly, the other was shadowy and sad. While in one of his ({Ujuclud moods he strolled into a religious meeting and there became convinced that the best thing to do was to quit and lead a dif- feront lifo. Now after the passage of years he was standing on the old site of the ““Ocean Wave,” and was pray- ing and pleading and taking rank among the godly, He said he seldom entered this church without being re- minded of the two strange contrasts in his life, as suggested by the bit of ground on which two such atrangely different buildings had been erccted on the same place, e PERSONAL. Miss Gianmon, who broke her arm by a fall at the Revero house, is getting along nicely. City Jailer MeClureand Detectives Hazen and Neligh, of Omaha, were in the city yesterday.

There was & happy gathering of frionds at the house of A, E.

The company numbered about twenty, the invitations being limited to the relatives and & fow intimate friends, Rev. P. F. Bresee, pastor of the Mothodist church, officiated, and after duo expression of congratula- tions and well-wishes, the company werd served with tempting and abundant refreshments.

She he has wod is a graduate of the high schuol of this city, and has served for about five years most acceptably as a acher in the public schools here. hey will now settle in & new house on Mynster street, recently purchased by Mr. Stewart.

There is little plot to tne play, barely enough to string the incidents upon, and to serve as an ex cuse for dragging in sundry jokes and ludicrous situations. Soveral of the parts, especially that of Sheridan, as Widow O'Brien, excited much merri- ment. As one of the advertising schemes of the company,it was decided to give a silver trumpet whichever fire company received the largest number of votes from those buying tickets to the entertainment. As a result of this voting the Blaft City company re- ceived 480 and the Rescue company 365, The majority of 115 gave the trumpet to 1. H. Guanella, the fore- man of the former \pany, who re coived it in person and responded ap propriately to the presentation speech made by one of Jarrett & Rice's com pany S THE BARB WIRE MONOPOLY. Details of the Coon Recent Sale of the Patents—-The Farmers Unite for the Right. The following is trom the pen of Hon. L. S. Coffin, the agricultural editor of the Ft. Dodge Messenger: We have given in the agricultural columns quite extensive extracts from different pens in regard to the barbed wire muddle, but as many of our readers want to hear our own version, wo herein in as fe possible set forth the faet: The monopoly succeeded in buying Mr. Coon, whom Messrs. Carpentor & CGiven has proteged for years, He was an inventor, and like most such, was poor. Carpenter & Given fur- nished him means to experiment; af- ter several years' trial he at 1 brought out one of the best machine for barbing wire, and had it patented He also invented and patented one or two others. His bargain with Carpenter & Given was to give them each a one-third interest in these in- ventions, but there was no as ment of the patent in writing, as there should have been, and put on record. Carpenter & Given pur- chased all material for making the machines, building and power for running them, and, in fact, were the money part of the firm, which firm was in the name of J. H. Coon, with which the Farmers’ Protective asso- ciation contracted for making wire for its members. As said above, this one indiyidual man, Coon,was approached stealthily, and stubborn, without the consent or knowledgo of his partners, or any members of the association, he sold himself and patents to the monopoly for, as is reported, $12,000, and agreed to deliver up to Washburn & Co all the machines. The plan was, as we now understand, to got possesion of these machines in the night time by stealth, and deliver them to certain parties in Des Moines, on the delivery of which he (Coon) was to receive £6,000, An- other $6,000 was to be paid down on the signing ot the contract and as- signment of the patent, which imm diately went on record at Washington. arpenter & Civen, gotting wind of what was going on, guarded the building, making it impossible for Coon to carry out his contract to deliver the machines. The assignment of the sale was then mado to parties in Tlli- nois, making it possible to sue out a writ of replevin in the United States courts and take the machines, where- upon a compromise was made with Carpenter & Given by giving them $4,000, and they allow the machine to o and a decreo to be entered in the court against J. H. Coon, individ- ually and alone, leaving Carpenter & Given and the farmer's protective association perfectly free and at lib- erty to go on manufacturing wire the samo a8 though nono had been made by them. The association now stands botter than ever, both in the courts and in the mind of the general pub- lic. It has now made a strqng con- tract with Carpenter & Given to manufacture wire, and by the first of March they expect to turn ot a car load o day at least. OF course wo ex- pect to be sued by tho monopoly Very well- -we are willing. The far- mers of Towa are ot going to stop until the matteris fully investica’ed in an honest court. In such a court they have nothing to fear. In the meantime we are asked how are the farmers to get wire. it a pound of wire made by order of the nssociation can be sold excopt only to members of the association, But who are members! Every farmer who sends his name and his dollar to the secretary of the association at Des Motnes, G, H. Crosby, becomes a member, and can buy wire at 74 cents per pound, delivered on the cars, Now, will every farmer in the coun- try who understands this, take hold and help with his name, his dollar and his influence! The real question is, will the farmers of Jowa and the great west submit to the imposition attempted by the wonopoly! The prineiple at the bottom of all this is the thing to be considered. Has a farmer the right to live and breathe the free air that blows over American soil’1f we tamely submit to this im position we seriously doubt if we are worthy to breathe it, As the matter now stands, Wash burn & Co. must contend with almost universal sentiment of lo If we mistake not, ninety-nine out ofsevery one hundred men i the west who un derstand the watter are in sympathy with the farmers in this fight. This words as most contemptible of all methods, recently used by the monopoly, giving | limited, however, tha. no chance was | £20,000 to buy a decree in courty just udgment as they might wish ate by buying up by stealth one y to the defens a8 80 enraged common sense of held by all men, that a universal indigna tion has b begot that must er fall heavily upon of the monopolists. o low down and abjectly did this great, wealthy monopoly stoop and crawl along in its filthy slime to secure its | end, that to-day it is hard to find an attorney in lowa who is willing to own he had any hand at all in the transaction. The old saying, ‘‘give the devil rope enough and he will hand himself,” we think in this case wonld prove true, mers of Towa! let us all be ready to give that rope a tight pull, for we expoect to get it around the right fellow’s neck soon, Justice holds the scales in the United States courts yet in Towa, and God be praiscd. ustice as IOWA NEWS.
