A Blg Grove Young Man Pays Well for a Lesson in Life, — Yestorday a husky young man from Big Grove was sceing the city. He struck the acquaintance of another young man who went the rounds with him, treating and being treated, until in the course of their wanderings they reached a saloon just morth of Do- hany's opera house. In the course of talk there the city young man sud- denly found himselt short of change and borrowed §14 of the Big Grove presentative, putting up as security a sheck for 8300, which he proposed to get cashed as soon as they could k down to the bank together. Be- fore starting for the bank the city mng man 'wf"'"d out of the rear r into the alleyway for a winute The minute proved one of the long- est minutes in the Big Grove man’s experieuce, It hasn't come to an end et. The loser by the old game says is a new one to him, amfunun. he had never read anything about any such doings. It was quite a time be- fore the young man could be made to realize that the money was gone for. ever and that the check was worthless. asan Manager Council Bluffs Circulation, AGAINST AVOCA. A Further Move to Prevent the Lat- ter's Proposed Division of the l County. A mecting of the Bar association was held yesterday morning at the | ypa¢ court house to take further action con- | cerning the proposed holding of terms of court at Avoca, thus dividing the an oastern and western The county into judicial distriot, committee ap- pointed at th peting reported the facts wh they had gathered, showing why no such court_should be established at Avoca. These facts have been already presented in Tae Bee, they being mainly in regard to relative taxation and to the amount of court business done by the eastern and western portions of the county. The showing 18 that not one-tenth of all the cases arise in the eastern portion, and that most of these are unimportant, v fact there is not enough business which would natur- ally fall to the court of Avoca, to warrant the extra expense and the trouble. In regard to taxation it is | shown that the eastern portion of the county receives far more than it pays, and it is an advantage to be linked to | the weatern portion. The judiciary committee of the leg- | islature, to whom is referred a memo- ral requesting the establishment of | these terms, and the division of the county into jndicial districts, is to meet this afcernoon in Des Moines to consider the matter and hear all sides of the question, In order that the facts might be shown as viewed by those in the west- ern part of the county, and as gather- od from the records might be proper- ly presented to the juaiciary commit- COUNCIL BLUFFS AND IOWA NEWS.

A young Jady 1n Council Bluffs who | had been vaccinated on one of her Jower limbs, circulated the report she had recently become pos- seesed of a “legacy,” and her beaux became 80 numerous compelled to tell them the joke. Towa has 227 coal mines in opera- tion, which produced during the cen- sus year 1,461,116 tons of coal, val- ued at 3, while 5,024 men were employed in’ said mines, whoge y wages aggregated 81.555,697. The report of the railroad commis sioners show that during 1881, 108 poreons were killed and 194 injured upon Towa railroads. Of theso twc passengers und twelve employes were killed from causes beyond their con- trol, and five passengers and fifteen employes from their own misconduct or want of caution, cers and thirty-nine employes were injured from causes beyond their own control and one passenger and 107 employes from their own misconduct or want of caution, One passenger and four employes were killed at sta- tion or highway crossings, five pas- sengers 2l cighteen employes steal- ing rides, uad twenty-eight passengers and twelve employes trespassing on track. The commissioners recom- mend an enactment to prevent people from exposing themselves useleasly to dangers irom walking on tracks. The Rallroad Lands. Dunlap Reporter.

In the language of the Regist- er, *‘And if they can be used to gain for them the introduction of a new system of railway into that part of the state they should certainly have the chance.” So says The Reporter, es- pecially the new system. We think it about time to use the public proper- ty or domain for public purpose, and tee, a number of delogates wore chosen this morning to go to Des Moines to attend the meeting this afternoon. Those thus chosen were Judge Jar N. M. Pusey, Jobn Baldwm, C. R. Scott Marshail Key, F. B, Hart, Jacob Sims, D. B. Dailey, George Carson and Joseph Lyman. The committee have a statement of the judges that there is no time to be given to such terms of court as are proposed, as there is more business now than can boe properly attented to. It is probable that such an array of facts and figures when clearly pre sonted will cause the memorial to die a natural death, and that no more ac- tion will be needed. DOOMED TO DEATH. Such Seems to be the Fate of One Family. Last fall a family’ named Cornet was living happily in Leadville, when by a sudden accident in a mine the husband and fattier was kiiled, inga wife and two interesting and rather prepossessing little girls, one about thirteen years old and the other much younger. leav- A fow days lutera sudden illness laid low the mother, and she, too, pussed away, leaving the girls orphans. Mrs. Livingston, a sister of their mother, tuok the little girls in charge and came with them to this city, and renting a modest house on Main street proceeded to earn such a livelihood as she could for herself and them by fortune telling. A short time ago she sunt the girls to a private school at Plattsmouth, where they could be looked after by an uncle living there. Last week she receivad a telegram stating that Myrtle, the elder girl, was very ill with diptheria She hastened to her bedside, arriving but a fow hours before death came.

Their loss on that duay was terrible, greatly exceeding what we had at first supposed it to be From the most correct estimates which we shave since been able to form, it exceeds 2,600. I know the world will be 1ncredulous when they hear the story that, with a force inferior in number, in discipline and in [all the preparations for war,we should have remained for twenty days oo open plain, within cannon shot of sucn an enemy, and in one engagement have repulsed them with so terrible a loss on their part and so small a one on ours. I agree it is a caso without any parallel in history, but be assured it 18 nevertheless true. It has thrown the enemy into perplexity from which 1 believe they would be glad to extri- cate themselves, but’know not how. Whether they are at present awaiting the arrival of re-enforcements, or pre- paring to return to their shipping and abandon an expedition so unfortunate inits beginning, I know not.

An or- dinary knowledge of the Chinese language does not suffice for the full and correct translation of these com- mandments, which are written in cipher and taught only to members of | the society BY DEGREES. One of the striking principles enun- ciated in these commandments de- clares that “‘we shall defend and pro- tect our members, right or wrong.” The remaining commandments, .80 far as can be ascertained, contain nothing very startling or aggressive, but are deftly constructed for the apparent purpase of concealing their real mean- ing which ‘s made known only to the most advanced and trusted members of Chee Kung Tong, and is zealously kep: from the knowledge of all outside barbariaus.

It is in this temple that the society holds ite its secret sessions and acts as a board ot arbi- tration in nearly all cases of Chinese criminals, The Chicago, Milwaukee & St. Puaul railway company has now sold the balance of its lands east of Des Moines river, about 30,000 acres in Kossuth, Palo Alto, Humboldt and Emmet counties, in Jowa, to N, C.

We have made them how- ever, abandon several of 'their bat- teries and spike many of the cannon, Does not this point to a retreat?
