The Facts Concerning Like Attempts and Like Progross in the Past and the Needs of Prospects ‘I'he receipt of the following tele Hepburn hopes of gram from Congressman gladdens and revives tho those who have so long been striving to got a governmont building i Coun- cil Bluffs: Wasnisaron, D, C., Febroary 7, 1882 — Puin. Arsouvnr: The Council Bluffs court house and postoffice bill by the committee on public buildings. W. P. Hernuns, That the bill has reached such a stage is cheerful tidings, indeed, to the citizens here, all of whom are so interested in the success of the meas- ure, and Congressman Hepburn is justly ontitled to praise for what he has accomplished, and Liearty support, in the furtherance of the measure to a successful passage. The Nonpareil in secking to give hini credit, how- ever, shows its school-hoyish spite against those who have in the past won equal credit, and ns usual, wan- tonly butchers the truth to satisfy this spite. While Tue Bee would add to, rather than take from, any praise given to Congressman Hepburn In this matter, it deems the public as entitled to the real facts, and in view of these facts it becomes apparent how far tho Nonpareil will go to sat- ivfy its porsonal spleen, and how ready 1t 18 to deceive its readers, At least twice before a similar bill hus reached just the position in which the present one is, a fact well known to The Nonpareil, notwithstanding its assertion that previous attemps “have failed in every particular.” In the Forty-fifth congress, Col. Sapp, then the representative, introduced a bill appropriating $100,000 for a gov- ernment building here. This bill was unanimously reported favorably upon by the committeo on public buildings, thus reaching the oxsct po- sition of the present bill. Tt was further placed on the calendar of the committeo of the whole. Judge Humphreys, of Wiscousin, and others joined in the attempt to et a suspen- sion of the rules for a consideration of this bill and others, but the at tempt failod to securo the two-thirds vote necossaty, and had to await its turn in the regular order. The bill was not reached before adjournment, and wont the way of all such bills, In the Forty-sixth congress a like bill was again introduced by Congress- man Sapp, who was so vigilant that it was the first bill introduced for a government building, and it was hoped by thus being early it might be crowded in successtul passage. The committee to whom it was referred desired certain facts, on which it wished a report from the mayor of this city, and stated that if the facts reached there the bill would be re- ported on favorably at once. Mr. Sapp called on Col. Cochran, the mayor, for this report and was prom- ised it, but not receiving the report, came home from Washington in per- son toget it. Hegot J. W. Bond, e8q., to hunt up the facts, and N. W, Pusey, esq., made out the report, and it was signed by Judge Joues, after he became mayor. The report was sent to Washington, and in less than o week after receiving it the commit- toe reported uuuummunlf' in favor of appropriating $100,000 for the erec- tion of a government building here. Col. Sapp moved a suspension of the rules to take up that bill out of its or- der on the calendar, but failed to se- cure the two-thirds vote necessary. The bill had to bide its time, and not being reached in regular order on the calendar, was killed by adjournment. Thus, it will be seen, that twice be- fore a like bill has reached this cheer- ful point of u favorable report trom tho committee, just as Congressman Hepburne's has now., The present outlook is, however, more favorable, On both of the previous occasions the democrats had control of congress and had & majority of the committeo, wiaking it more uphill work for repub- lican members to get their will and wish, ow the latter are in the ascondancy, A further fuct is worthy of consid eration, At the times of the previous attempts to pass such a bill there was no United States court held hero ox cept the district court. Daring the Foriy-sixth congress Congressman Sapp mtroduced a bill providing for holding the Umted States circuit court at times and places where the district courts were hold, there bein Dubuque, Keokuk and Council Blufls This becamo a law, und now gives an additional claim for having a govern- went building here, and is & pont in favor of such building which did not exist before, Previous attempts had been made to susuro the passage of such a bill providing for- Uuited States oircuit courts, but had failed, During the Forty-fourth congress Judge Me Crary introduced one, but failed to get it through, Judge Sampson, of \!lu Sixth district, of Towa, made a similar attempt, which failed in the Forty-fifth congress, sud in the Forty- sixth congress the bill introduced by Col. Bapp passed. Al about that it 18 not only an important law, but it is @ strong point bow in favor of the preseut appropriation bill, In view of which has been done, it does seem despicsblo for The Nou. pareil, knowing the facts, to go out of way, whilo justly praisini the pros. ent representative, to slyly slap his predecestor, There is one strong rewson why the citizens of Uouncil Blutfs should 1, croase their activity and rally w0 far as practicable to the support “of Cou- gressman Hepburn's bill. A bill ha been introduced by Governor Carpen- ter, providing for a division of the state into two judicisl districts, This bill has been alwo reported fuvorably upon by the Judiciary committes, It No. 26 Pearl street. fob7-tf provides for United States district and | cireuit courta for the southern district | to be held at Davenport, Keokuk, Des for the northern district at Sioux City, Moines and Council Bluffs, and Fort Dodge, and Dobuque. Tt will be seen by this that if this bill s congres it three new places, Davenport, Sioux et Dodge, and there will o8 for holding court where there will have to be government buildings provided, instcad of two— Council Bluffs and Keokuk- as now, It behooves the citizens of Council Bluffs, therefore, to give to Congress man Hepburn all the aid they can to | get his bill through before the Car- penter bill becomes a law, for if the | latter passes first it is doubtful, in fact almost impossible, that the noeded appropriation could be secured, for there would be five cities with a like clamor, and the number wment buildings asked for would out- number those of any state in the union. TItisto be hoped, therefore, that Congressman Hepburn will be cheered on and help given him, if needed, to secure the passage of his bill. - — A HISTORIC BUILDING It18 the Scene of a Happy Surprise Party, Reviving Recollections of the Past. A number of the triends of the family of John Templeton gave them a pleasant surpriso on Tuesday even- ing by gathering on masse and taking posscssion of his home in the Phaznix Cards, music and dancing, wore among the happy features of the the enjoyment kept up il a hountiful was seryed, after which dancing was block on Upper Broadway. evening, and about midnight when anpper resumed until all were co ntent to re- | tire, The building where the party yus | held is full of historig intercst.” In 1856 the rooms were used as the United States land office, while the store room below, now occupied by G T, Smith, was then used by Babbit & Robingon, and the third story was a hall, where more than a quarter of a century ago, thy parents und \d- parents of those who there danced the other ing, were wont to step to the music of Field's band, just the sume as their descendants on this oc- casion moved to the measures of the same violin still in Chief Field's hands. Later the upper story was trans- formed into a theatre, aud it was here that the legitimate drama was first produced in this city. The second flhor became the council chamber. Uiiil later the upper story waa changed into a printing office, aud it was here that tho daily Bugle was born during the throes of the rebel- lion. Since that time it has becomo the propetty of Mr. G. 'T. Smith, who, by u singular coincidence, was one of tho original company who opened the theatrical sesson with the “‘Forest Rose,” during the memora- ble winter of 66, FURTHER FACTS. Showing Why the Hust End of the County Should be Satiefled. Some New Light Upon the Problem of Division. The proposed division of thiscounty into two judicial districts by estab- lishing terms of court at Avoca has little in facts or reason to give it strength. Tt is understood thut this measure is but another phase of the old question of dividing the county, and torming a new county out of the eastern portion, and in this view the entering wedge for such a split is more than of passing importance, It has already been shown that only one- tenth of all the court business comes from the eastern portion of the county and that these cases are small ones und not generally litigated. Tt has also been shown that the carting of records backward and forward would be impracticablo and annoying. It is also evident that the extra exponse would be great, and, further, that there is no time for holding such a court as is proposed. In fact, all the facts thus far gathered point to but one conclusion, that the move is im- practicable and ill-advised It 1s doubtless 1uconvenient for Fue to come from the eastern por ton of the county to this city, but it would to equally inconvemwnt for those from here who would Le called upon to attend court in Avoca, and those in the eastern portion could not avoid making trips here, even if the court was vstablished as desired, for the bill introduced does uot etfocy the question of our county seat, aud oll the county records and officials would center here then as now, For the satisfaction of those in the eastern portion of the county who feel thav they ave inconvenienced, facts have been gathered showing some of the advantages which they have derived from being iu the sarne county with the eastern portion and with this city, In the watter of bridge building, an importaut factor in the improvement of this county, there was expended in 1881 by this county §16,246, and of this amount two-thirds $10,027—was exponded in the eastern portion. The largest part of this wmoney, too, came from the western part of the county, The total valuation of property " in this county in 1881 was $9,482,602, and that of property in the eastern por. tion only 83,080,760, hardly any more than the valuation of Council ~Blufls alone, which was §2,020,200 for the same yoar. In other words this city wlooe puid as much to the bridge fuud as the whole of the eastern portion of the county, and the eastern portion received two-thirds of the money thus raised. T'he bridge tax for 1880, for the ! B8 , courts will thereafter be held of govern- | coutity, amounted to 8,604, OF th amount t} paid 82,027, very nearly as much the entire castern portion, The same ratio of figures is shown the bridge tax for 1881. Tho eas end ot the county was toxed 86,177 and Council Blutls alone $5,858 total brid f the county 818,065, « while paying than one ast end hus received two-thirds o | the fund ¥ Such are but samples of the bene fits derived by the east end by present relatiouship. 1 other fivul seems that the benefita « ffsct what in | convenience may ariso to a few Jaw yers and witnesses, by not having court established right under | enves, that | w BENEATH THE BED There is Where a Would-Be Thiel Hides Himself and i3 Captured. to rob the landlord, Max Mohn. About 8 o'clock in the evening he ac- room, and after sccing them snugly in bed, turned the gas down a little, and on going out locked the door and took the key with him. Mrs. Mohn heard a mysterious noise under the bed, and thought it must be a dog who had got into the room, but as the rusthing keps up, snd the cuuse of her alam crawled out from nnder the bed along the floor, she became satisticd that it was a man. She succecded in partly opening suother door against which a bed stood, and sereamed loudly. This summoned scveral from the office be- low inclucing her husband, who en- terng the room captured the fellow, A took hun down stairs, where he detained until Otticer Brooks ar- rived, who teok him o the station follow on - being captured was at once recognized as 4 young mar named James T, Stockdale, who has been bourding at the house for about two months, He was armed with a revolver and ou being searched was found to have a key to Mr. Mohn's room. He admitted that he had goue to the room to *‘make a raise,” and saiu he had crawled under the bed about 7 o'clock in the evening and had been there about an hour, when Mrs, Mohn and her children went to bed, and that he got so chilly that he had to crawl out. About six wecks ago Mr, room was burglarized one $70 in cush and a watch were He natuially suspects young Stock- dale of being the one who committed that crime, but the Jatter denies that in full, and also deuies that he had any accomplices.
