He hadn’ (ot over his druni and after sober- ing up inthe station, paid the regular 86.85.

Much of the talk centers about the mayoralty, in part doubtless because Vaughan, who set the ball rolling, has been working up the idea that the mayor's officewas about the o.ly one worth con- sidering, and that Vaugban was about the only candidate worth cons dering for the office. He has harped so much about be- ing the only man who heeps the wirking people out of the poor house that many think the mayou's office is the chief one jn the nation, The reople should look out for good aldermen. Upon them depends much of the city's prosperity. ~—Among the needs of thix eity is a good commercial and business training school, where young men can be taught a thor- cugh system of book-keeping, and becowe posted in the ways and habits ot busine s life. Such a school properly conducted would afford an excellent chance for many boys and young men here, and would draw many to this city from a distance, A night school in connection therewith would be a grand, good thing for scores of young men, who would gladly improve the chance to improve their permanship, and gain practical knowledge in business matters, For the right parties there is o good opening here to start such & commer oial school. No concern, though, which tas for its only object the collecti n of tuition fees and the issuing of faucy diplo. . sense comniercial echool i+ what is need«d. ~Capital is fast floating from the cast westward and finding profitable invest- ment in agricultural and other interests.

The new engine house is rapidly ap proaching completion, avd in two or three weeks will be ready for oceu- pancy. The carpentering work is about finished and there remains little now to bo done besides the plastering and some painting. most conveniently arranged, and is to be occupied by the Rescue steamer and hose cart. The steamer is a new one, and the hose car' is one of this year's arrival, being a four wheeled beauty. The first fl.or of the new engine house gives room for this steamer and hose cart to stand side by side, facing the large doors opening upon the street. Back of them is the table room, where the horses will stand facing frontward, ready to start right along when_needed. The second floor is arranged for a good sized hall, while at the front are slooping apartments, closets * and other conveniences. This second floor is reached by an outside stair- way, the stairway thus being located 80 a8 to allow all the room possible in the building proper. A tower has been built sixty-eight feet in height, with a stairway inside leading to the very top,where the bell, now in use at’the old building, will be suspended. The public will appreciate t[hin change in the location of the bell. Where it is now located there are - buildings on each side, and the bell is iunu 80 low that an alarm sounded upon ‘it is heard only for a short distance. When hung in this new tower, it will be high enough and free enough from surrounding buildings, so that it can be heard for a long distance. In this tower the hose can be hung up for drying, and other conveniences will be provided. The tower was yester- day ornamented by having a weather vane placed upon its top, representing a fireman shouting through his trum- pet and on the dead run. A small flag, the first which ever floated from the summit, was yesteiday flung to the breeze trom the top. The chief interest to many centers about thoe little conveniences and ap- pliances which are to be provided for eaving time in getting out to a fire. The house is to be thoroughly wired, 80 that electricity will be made to do many things. It will be so arranged that when an alarm comes 1n over the wire from any point in the city it will not only sound the alarm, gut will awake the sleeping firemen, will cause the front doors of the engine house to fly open, will open the stable doors, and these doors by opening will loose the horses, who will be prompted to start for their places at the pole by a whip behind them, which, being made to revolve by the same electric moror, will give them an inspiring clip. The firemen will have their clothing so made and arranged that they will pull on pants and boots at one jerk, and will then slide down a pole, to the first floor; and here they will find the horses ready to hitch, Fire snaps will suffice to harness each horse, and the drivers juniping into their seats will need only to pick up their reius, touch a rope by which a chain stretch- ed in front of the doors to prevent the horses starting too soon, will be taken out of the way, and then speed out Such is the general plan 10 which tho Rescue boys are work- ing, and they hope soon to have 1t iu practical working in every detail, The boys justly take pride in the new engine house, and they propose to do all in their power %0 make such quick time and do such effective ser- vice that the citizens will feel that the money has been well expended. They promise some lightniug hitches when they get all the plans completed - Seadiain Eat and be Merry.

An Enthusiastic Company Mutual Improvement Bent on The Round Table is the title of a socicly ed mainly of young peaple, who have joined themselves together for the purpese of furthering their knowledge of literature and art, The society has been organized some time, but of late has revived its meet- ings, which owing to sundry circum- stances have been months, With this ‘resumption of meetings has come a revival of inter- est and an increase in members, A week or 80 ago they met at Mr, A I Walker' a very pleasureal W pr wosuion, Last Thursday evenin iet at Mr. Keith's rooms in Mr. Evaus’ residence, covner of Sixth street and Sixth euue. At this meeting they re- eleeted Rov. Mr. Hamlin as their president, and perfected their organ- ization by the appointment of som- mittees to look after the various phases of the work in hand. This evening’s literary exercises centered about gothie architecture and art Italy in the tifteenth ceutury. Selec- tions were read, interspersed with conversational documents. Some mis- cellaneous readings were also given, and music and nocial chatting filled the remaining time, thus making an evening of varied enjoyment, mingled with instruction, It was decided to hold similar meetings on Monday evening of each week, the next to be held at Mrs. Harkness' home next Monday evening. The members seem to take hold of the work with much enthusiasm and the seciety gives the promise of growing rapidly, a number of new members joining cach evening. It certainly has a high, healthy pur- pose and affording, us it does, an ex- cellent, oppc rtunity for self-culture, should receive a hearty support. e ANOTHER PLAN. A Petition Started on the Rounds Asking for a Bridge to be Built by General Taxasion. The proposed building of a wagon and foot bridge across the river, con- necting Omaha and Council Blufls, has stirred up talk, many various plans and a general discussion. The matter is well in hand now by the joint committees of the two cites, and it scems they have struck about the most practical plan. Another plan has been talked up by seme of the citizens, which will probably end in talk. It is set forth in the petition now being circulated for signers. It is rather blindly worded, but the ob- ject seems to be to get the states to jointly build the bridge by a general tax. The petition reads: To the Honorable the Senate and House of Representatives of the States of Iowa and Nebraska, in Legislature assombled: The undersigned petitioners, resi- dents and tax-payers of the states of Iowa and Nebraska, respectfully rep- resent that they believe it would beto the greatest good of both states to es- tablish free inter-state commerce by the construction of a free bride to conncet Council Bluffs and Omaha, and the said bridge cannot be secured without the aid of both common- wealths, They therefore respect- fully solicit you to grant this petition, now presented to your respective honorable bodies. much Snatching a Smoke. One of the clerks in Erb & Dn- quette’s store noticed a young man making queer motions as he stood by the counter Thursday night, and be- coming satisfied that he was shop- lifting, watched him while he quictly summoned the police. The fellow was taken hold of and owned up to having filched a box of cigars, which he tried in vain to drop unnoticed. Yesterday morning he appeared be- fore Recorder Burke, gave his name e John Mack, and was seatenced to three days in jail, i LA s S Deals In Dirt, The following transfers of real es. tate are reporled from the county records by J.

From a source which is regarded as perfectly reliable The Herald received the information of the beastly con- duct of a traveling salesman said to represent the grocery house of James M. Smith, 43 Lake street, Chicago. This thing in the guise of u man, boarding a passenger train a few days ago, on the Towa and Da- kota division of the Chicago, Mil- waukee & St. Paul, at Spencer, ticketed to Charles City. He entered the ladies car and took a seat immediately behind a highly respectable lady of Spencer. The wretch stretched himself out in the seat and so disarranged his cloth- ing as to make a beastly exposition of his person, while pretending to be aslecp, at the time shielding himeelf with a newspaper from the gaze of all passengers in the car excepting the lady above referred to. The lady finally, on changing her position, dis- covered the disgusting exposition the rascal was making of himself, and di- rectly moved to another seat in the car. On the arrival of the train at Muson City, the wife of the -con- ductor, Lyle Hoxsie, came aboard, and the lady informed her of the con- duct of the man, and she in due time acquaiated Mr. Hoxsie of the circumstances. Any one who knows this gentlemanly and high- minded conductor will readily imagine how quickly:-his blood began to boil when he had heard the story. As the train sped along toward Charles City, Mr. Hoxsie began to get madder and madder. Arriving at that station the unpnmcipled traveling man alighted on the platform, when the conductor immediately stepped up to him, de- manding his business card, the name of the house he traveled fcr, etc., which he obtained, and then, in the most systematic manner imaginable, and in the style of a pro- fessional pugihist, Mr. Hoxie proceeded to decorate his head with @ series of various colorbd embellishments that the salesman will carry forsome time. Our informant eays the train was held at Oharles City for about fifteen minutes, until the conductor had completed his job to the entire satisfaction of a large and highly appreciative audience. The traveling man did not remain in Charles City but a short time, but took the first train south on the Illinois Central, and his whereabouts row are not known, COUNCIL BLUFFS SPECIAL NOTICES.
