The O1a Lady is Satisfled that the Woman Grown is Her Long | Lost Child, There is one happy home in Council Bluffis, caused by the meeting yester- day of mother and daughter ¥ho had not heard from each other or met in | thirty long years. A fow days ago ;’l'm»: Bee gave the details of this | colored family’s history, to the effect | that the mother, Mrs. Clara while in slavery, about thirty ycars Brown, about them, unul a «eek or so ago, when word came to her at her home in Denver that her city, he daughter was living name bemg Mrs, Eliza Brewer. s old lady became sufliciently satistied of the identity of the daughter by correspondence, and started once for this city, She ar- rived here yesterday morning. Her denghter missed the street car going to the transfer, aud s0 waited on the in this corner tor the arrival of her sirech mother, whom she had not soen sico girlhood. The old lady was met at the depot by another colored friend, and as the two atepped oll thic car the daughter was waiting. Tbe meeting was a touching and a ludicrous one as a finale of thirty years' separation and siionce. The mother and daughter flunyg their arms about each other's necks, tears rolled down their dusky the (ol the way the domocrats, through their organs, have published cartions of them. ~In the circuit court yesterday the time was taken up in the further hearing of the case of Billwiller Bros, va, George W.

He has engaged a band for election day. He has blown his horn until he has got tired, or at least onght to be, and now has to hire. The workingmen will not be caught by wind though. They are not so ignorant as he charges them with being. —Mary McLand, known familiarly as “L ng Mary,” made the night wir hideous by her hysterical und drunken howls and Officer Barhyte had to guide her into the city ¢ She resisted and yelled, laid down in the mud and screamed, but she had to go. Recorder Burke gave the usual $6,85. —There scems to be a difference of opinton as to how long a man must live in the city in order to vote, Vaughan says that the city ordinance requiring a resi- dence here of six monthas is unconstitution - al, as the stututes of the state make six months residence in the stite and sixty davs in the city the requi . Vaughun's decision does not seem to gh very heavy with the boaid of registry, as they ar- going by the city ordinauce requirin residence in the city of six m uths, Mem- bers of the board say they ace not the su- preme court, and it is not the r province to decide the matter, They h.ve an ordi- nance and are going by it, nd leave it to the prope- authorities to .'ccide whet er theordinance isunconstitutional. Vaughun 18 ot 8o modest, and has taken upon him- self to deci le for the court, SCHEMES WOR THE SCHOOLS. The Propositions to be Voted on at the Annual S8chool Blection. Un Monday March 13, one week after the city election, the annual election of the independent school distriot of Council Bluffs will be held, thé Furst ward precinct beiug at the Western house, the Second ward, corner of Scott and Broadway, the Third ward at Rogers' livery stable, and the Fourth ward being at J. M. Palmer’s oftice. In the heat and excitement of the city election, the questibns to be voted on at the echool election should not be overlooked. They are: First, Shall tho sum of $2,600 be levied and appropriated, or bonds be issucd for said sum for the construc tion of an addition to Stutsman streot school? Becond. Shall the sum of 83,000 he levied and appropriated, or bonds be issued for said sum for the construc- tien of a new school house in the southwest part of the city! Third, Shall the sum of $3,000 be levied and n.pJaruprintad, or bonds be issued for eaid sum for the repair and enlargament of the Washington street «chool Fourth, Shall the sum of §3,000 be levied and appropristed for the pur- chase of apparatus and school furni- ture! taces, and just as the good old lady exclaimed, ‘‘Bress de Lor', chile, bress de Lor’,” the two tumbled and fell flat in the mud, which covers the street inall directions. They man aged to scramble up, somewhat the worse for the tumble, and without paying any attention to the mud clinging to their dresses in great patches, they continued their embrac- ing and weeping for some little time, and then walked iv the daughter’s home, a block or two distant, The old !ndy left the prepared meal almost untasted, and busily visited with her daughter, asking all sorts of questions as to her past lite, and the incidents of her childhood. She was satisfied from what she had heard by letters that it was really her daugh- ter, but still she could realize more fully when hearing the proof from her own lips. Mr. Brewer could re- member her twin sister, now dead, whose name was ‘*Paulina Aun,” aud could recall her uncle’s features and name. The mention of the name of *‘Pau- lina Ann” seemed among the most touching of the proofs of identity to the old %ndy, for she said no one olse could have known about her. The old lady, Mra. Brown, has lived in Denver since 1858. She told Tur Bek reporter that they called her the first woman settler in Denver, but that they were mistaken in this. She was one of the first, but not the first, She L ocame acquainted with a colored woman named Mrs. Saunders, who, about two years ago, retnoved to this city, and is now livin; at No, 537 Broadway. Mrs. Saunders acciden- tally became acquainted with Mre, Brower, and knowing the story of the old lady's life, was surprised on hearing something of Mrs. Brewer’s life to tind 8o many coincidences as to lead her to think that Mrs. Brewer was perhaps Mrs. Brown's long lost daughter. She sent word to the lat- ter, correspondence followed, and the old lady started for this city, and here found her long-felt hope fulfilled by a joyful meeting. The old lady’s story as told to Tue Ber was touching, and could only be fully appreciated by hearing it from her own lips as given in her simple language, while the tears rolled down her withered cheeks. After telling how they had becu cruelly separated by slevery, sho said: 1 allus prays overy wgat, for saint and omner, tha they might be remin’ed of deati and de judgment aud den Talius praged ’specially for de chilren for L thought the Lor' would keep ‘em somehow, but for a while back I got ter thinkin' as how E'iza might be dead an’ gone ober, an’ dar waren't 10 use a prayin’, Den I get kinder worried like, yér know. an’ T pray more an’ more dat I might ) s}e deur ohile again somehow. Well, only las’' week 1 went to de Lor’ an'I tole him us how I wish if Eliza was dead an’ gone, dat in somehow he'd let me know an’ remove de bur- den of de worryin' 'bout her, an’ if de dear chile were 'live he’d somehow let me know dat fer sure, Bress de Lor', in a day or two 'long came de letter tellin' "bout de chile. T tell you de Lor' sent dat letter, sure,” ‘The old lady can hardly realize the change in her daughter. Sold from her arms wheu only two or three yours old aud separated from her entirely at the age of eight, she has aeen or heard nothing from her until now she greets her a woman of 38 yours and the mother of nine chil. dren, one of whom now in Texas, has a little babe, so that the old lady finds herself not only a grandmother but a great-grandmother, She expects to remain here a few weeks only and then return to Denver, hoping to have her daughter accompany her. The old lady says she has got to go back, for when she came away she was so overjoyed and so eager to get here that *he left the front door of her hittle home wide open and run for the train, forgetting everything in her great joy. e A Poor Moses, There has been much credit claimed the working people g0, was separa‘c: (eom her children, | one daughter beiy a woro child, | Since then ahe lus heard nothing by Vaughan for all the improvements made in, the city during his term of office, and he would, if he could, make believe that whatever employment was given them parties, THELOMAHA DALLY BEE WED COUNCIL BLUFFS AND IOWA NEWS. was due to his kindness of heart and Ius enterprige. Of course this is all as it wos neither the may or's voice that ordered the work, nor the mayor's money that paid for it. nonsense, It was the city council with him that | ordered the work, and it was the peo- ple’s money which paid the ilis, and not Vaughan's money. It may be difficult to determine how much of a part taken in mprovements, and how wise a managor he is in city affairs, but in one enterprise it is casy to sec what manner of man he is. His Herdie scheme is a fair showing of how he personally can conduct an Heo promised the people that Herdic coaches should be put on the streets long ago, and sold many 85 bundles "of tickets, and thus secured capital | and yuragement from the pockets of those who had worked hard for the money. The Herdics came - four- wheeled ones - and after a big [ flourish and whoop at the end of & | fow days were put into the stable and there remained. A mnth or more ago, in order to satisfy the clamor raised about his ears, come two- wheeled Herdics whro brought horo, it being claimed that, the fovr: wheeled ones were too heavy. Then the promise went forth, to quiet the people’s clamor, that as soon us the harnesses were changed into single ones the Herdics would roll torth, and the people would have a chance to use the tickets they had bought months before. The Her- dics: did not come forth, though Then came the excuse that the Herdic’s could not sun until the roads get settled, and thut the failure of the enterprisn was duce to the fact that the citizens were too old fogyish to pave the streets, Paved streets were needed. Still the clamor goes on among those who wive their hard earnings to help along the enterprise, and want to get a chance to take their monoy out in rides ayor Vaughan, who claims to be 80 much of am who claims to have the people’s interests snugeling so close to lus great heart, has managed this one enter- prise, and with this result. He knew when he promsed the Herdics, and when the tickets were sold, just s well as he knows now, the condi- tion of the streets. He had lived here long enough to know what kind of strects springtime brings each year. To put it in the most charitable form possible the Herdic enterprise shows Mayor Vaughan to be an impulsive and unwise manager, and an unsafe leader. It is a fair test ot his shrewdness and forethought, and he is found wanting in both, It comea with ill grace trom such a man to claim that the working people are ignorant; that he alone can give them light, and that he also can be their Moses. There are hundreds of workingmen who would have shown better judgmeunt. One of the Keg Creek Assas- Vaughan has | terprise, | SD RKD OAK RASCALITIRES Concerning Tramps, Vagabonds and Crime, | .

A new suit of clothes was gone, as wasa revolver and a small sum of money, the whole aggregating about 840, Running down stairs, he encountered the marshal, who at once started to the depot. About half way down he overhauled his man wearing the stolen suit. The burglary, pursuit and capture were all crowded into the space of' about thirty minutes. ‘The scamp is now_boarding at public ex- pense but will as soon as vossible ex- change these lodgings for more commo- dious quarters, where he will be able to do some work for the state The mayor of Red Oak is very *‘ten- der” with “‘travelers.” One recently fled from small pox and believed him- solf just taking it, but the mayor gave him 810 and cosis, to work out on the streots at a dollar a day, rightly con- sluding that the streets were in no dunger of taking the small pox, whether the tramp did or not Last summer ove of the fraternity refused point blank to work in sponse to the marshal's polite request, It wus a hot day and the fellow was allowed to nurse his ball and chain in’ peace but he lughed at the other corner of his mouth when the dinner skipped him., Refusivggto work in the after- noon he was sent supperless to bed, and was ‘‘excused” from the breakfast table the next morning. As he still ina moment he objected to work the marshal finally put him under the pump and ducked him until he agreed to change his habits, when he was allowed to con- tinue on the job for full time at a dol- lar a day and ‘‘grub.” It don’t pay very well to be a tramp at Red Oak. The readers of Tnr Bee doubtless remember the case of the two boys, Cooley and St. Clair, who were arrest ed about the holidays on the ck burglary. -They had a pretty wood “kit” of burglars’ tools, with keysand combinations of various safes in Red | tabh 0Oak, shooting irons, etc., and had ac- tually opened the safe of Mr. Holt, a merchantof this place, and secured $75, | a part of which money was found on their persons. Of course, if these facts be proven in court, the precious villains must “‘go up.” But it now seems a livtle doubtful whether they will be punished as their crimes de serve, Desperate efforts are being made to induce the prosecuting wit- sins and Robbers Caught and Confcsses. His Two Companions are Also No= torious Desperadoes, But are Still at Large- One of the three masked men who made such a deadly attack on Theo- dore Sturdenbecker, in Keg Creek, last Friday night has been captured, and now lies in jail in Omaha, He is a vegro named Jo Botts,. who has a notorious career, and has been in sev- eral notable scrapes, in two of which at least he has been severely wound- ed. Ofticer Morse and Sid Sterling, of this city, got on track of him as one of the parties concerned, and go- ing to Omaha, succeeded with the aid of officers there in capturing him, Tt appears that a negro named Jack Wal- ton was first concerned in the plot to rob the old farmer, und in company with two white men, Frank Murray, and ‘‘the Kid,"” both notorious charac- ters, came from Omaha to this side of the river, and proceeded five nesaes to decline prosecuting, andthus permit the state to lose the case. We freely avow our conviction that for these witnesses to permit the case to g0 by default in this mannerwould be a grave wrong to the community, and society ought not to allow it. What society can do in such cases to protect itself, is a grave question, and ought to receive the caretul attention of all good citizens, OBSERVER. —Vaughan at times pretends to haye grent respect for the law. He does not propoee to have it violated by any one in- tiraidating or buying voters. He has | ro- nounced the city ordinance requiring. six months residence here unconstitutionul. B.t, with his usual inconsi-tency, he at other times lai ghs at the law. Ln his re- cent alleged speech, in speaking of she city debt haying reached its constitutional limit, he said: * ¢ me a council and Bill Mynster for city attorney, and I defy your constitutional limit,” How do thoughtful citizens like the prospect of such a man for mayc LA PERSONAL. Tom U, Sovelle, agent of Frank Coton, was at the Ogden M. F. McNelty and wife, of Sterling, wiles out on the way to the farmers house, and then Walton weakened and backed out. The party returned to Omaha and cured Jo Botts to take Waltos place, Botts, Murray and ‘‘The {id” went on Friday night to the farmer's house and committed the robbery, the detuils of which have al- ready been given in Tue Bee. On the return to Omaha Walton saw Botts in a saloon, and said, “‘Well, you've done it, 1 suppose.” Botts told him that he had andtold iim all about it, admitting that he fired the shoi which will probably result in the death of the farmer, and was so badly rattled by his partin the affair that he oried as he told about 1it. Another party heard enough of this conversa. tion to give the officers a clue, and by it Sterling mauaged to get at Botts’ whereabouts, while Morse and Edger- ton of Omaha were getting the war- rant, A suflicient force was then got to capture Botts without any trouble, and Walton was also arrested aud held af witness. The anty overhearing the conversation will also appear as a witness if necessary. Tar Bee in compliance with the desire of the officers has kept still about the capture until it is evident that the publicity will not interfere with the capture of the other two, Murray and “‘The Kid.” They are being closely followed up, and will, it is thought, be in custody very soon, A requisition has been sent for to bring Botts over to this city, and Walton, the witness, to whom Botts confessed came over last evening, without any papers.
