Tom was very drunk and was placed in the cala- booke. Yesterday morning he denied be- ing drunk, but in the afternoon witnesses appeared, who proved he was mistaken, and the fine amounted to §10.60, his ob- stinacy having swelled the usual amount, He had liquidated so much the night be- fore that he could not liquidate the fine, and was sent back to stay until such time as he could break out. ~The council has placed the license for cirouses 80 high as to be almost prohibi- tory, and the sentiment has heen oxpressed that it would be better not to havecircuses come here, as they take so much woney out of the eity. Yesterday Cole's circuy was in Omaha aud actual count was taken tosee bow muny known Council Bluffs people went over there, T'ae tally showed 240, Now it can be readily seen that the policy of kepiug all the money here by keepiog circuses away is nousense so long as shows are within such easy reach, and every one who went to Omaha yester- day spent wmore than the simple circus ticket awounted to, These narrow guage financiers who fayor a poliey of driving everything away from Council Bluffs for- get that a city without attractions can draw in very fow people and very little money from the surrounding country. It is & foolish idea that two vartuers in busi- ness can make woney by locking them- selves iu & room so that none of the money already in their pockets can get away, It i8 no less foolish to hem a city, or try to, #0 that not & dollar shall get beyond the limits, That White Toad, It having been stated in last Satur- day's Nonpareil that a great uatural curiosity, in the forw of a white toad, had been captured last Thuraday night, we undertake to state the par. ticulars concerning its capture. This wonderful toad had already been aroused on its peaceful journey by s party, who tried, but in vain, to cep- ture him, but succeeded in driving him inio the light with sticks, and not knowing its value, let him go with- out further pursuit. Boon aficr we came along, aud knowing the value o such a being succeeded in capturin him tn a two bushel bran bag, whicl we procured of Bob Arndt, of the well-known firm of F. Arndt & Son Triumphantly shouldering it we pro ceeded home, and waited until the next morning to bring to light one of the rarest curioeities of the age. But not as stated in the above namer paper, it was not a_common _toad, which had accidently fallen into » flour barrel in some grocery store, but a genuine white toad, Any person having an interest in such natural curiosities can see it, as it will be on exhibition next Saturday under the management of a young dry goods olerk near Kiel's hotel. The curiosity is ®o great a one that it has been doemed worthy of having some dis- ve name of its own, and hence has been called Jacob. ““Jacob'’ will receive his friends, therefore, next Saturday. e 5 . - —— — THE FARMERS' ALLIANCE A Convention to be Held Here Next ‘Thureday—Other Conven- tions Called.

Tuesday, Creston, Wednesday, He First Hees Anderson us a Devil and Then cs an Angel. The Nonpareil man afcer being closeted with the “gallant” major un- ul the morning's dawn greatly dis- turbed the sweet repose of all good citizens with the startling monomani- cal shriek of & mad man just recover- ing from one of his demented par- oxysms—-‘‘curaka! eurcka! eureka! the blarsted bond is explained.” Then the little editor of the Atlantic Mes- senger and Bub of the Harlan Hub chimmed in, “me too” Master John, The little editor of the Atlantic Mes- senger, who, by the way, grew up be- fore he was born and hence could not follow Greeley advice, speaking of the the oppositionto Anderson says: ‘‘Re- publicans who are talking of voting against Major Avderson should stop and consider for a moment the great issues that are at stake, and let our readers ponder them well before they allow themselves to be deluded by the vaporings of disappointed politicians,” "'his is not only copied in The Non- tmrui), but boes John rolls it under his tongue as a sweet morsal, Now this little manipulator of the Messenger flourished in Atlantic about the year 1876, when the “gallant” major wanied to be dis- trict attorney, and had this to say of Anderson, (It will bo perceived the word *Yrallant” was not used then,) “The Nonpareil, in regards to tho proof produced by The Messenger, showing that Anderson was not a fi; man to be a republican nominee for any office, docs not dispute a single fact, but ondeavors to disposo of the damaging evidenco by slurring at us. Wo ask The Nomparcil to state whothor, in view of the immorality and enormity of Anderson’s conduct, that paper is still supporting Major Anderson? Doos that paper believe that, 1 view of the general demand for competent men of irreproachable character, the republican party can afford to put up Anderson? Caniv courtenance the candidacy, knowing that thef forcing of such men on the Rllrly of honest men! Does not The onpareil know that, in the event of Anderson's nomination, the opposi tion would bave brought to light the evidence of Anderson’s bad character? We ask that paper whether it is nov the duty of a public journal to acquaint the people before i:is too late of the bad character of candi- dates! Wo are not acquainted per- sonally with Anderson, We merely give tho public undeniable facts of hia conduct.”—[Atlantic Messenger, April 20, 1876, Will The Nonpareil please copy? A r—g— They Want Law, When J, T, Clark took the position of general superintendent on the Mil- waukee & St Paull it was genorally expectyd that some one would very soon be appointed to fill his place on the U, P., and that person would be Robert Law, division superintendent at Cheyenne, The judgment of the public on this matter 1s that Mr, Law could fill the place made vacant by J. I, Clark, and the judgment of business men on a question of this kind is not far from tke mark, Men here whe have business with the U, P, road, know just as much about such men us 8, H. H. Olark, J. T. Clark, Mr, Vin ing and Mr, Shelby, as do the stock- holders in Boston aud probably more. Such men muko their mark as has Mr, Law, and the pub know Bright's Disease, Diabetes. Boware of the stuff that pretends to cure these discases or other serious Kidney, Urinary or Liver Diseases, as as they only relieve for & time and wakes you ten times worse afterwards, but rely solely on Hop Bitters, the only remedy that will surely and per- wanently cure you, It destroys and removes the cause of the disease so flectually that it never returns, TROUEBLE AT THE TRANSFER. A Well Known COftizen Insulted Be- cause He Refused to Patronize the Emigrant House. Yesterday M, Gentry, the manager e office in this city, look after & while at the transfer, waiting to cross the bridye, sauntered along by emigrant house and sat down, talking to a man He says that while thus peaceably employed one of of the tel had “downed” ocewsion to wire, and the for a few minutes, the attaches of the emigrant house came along and asked him if he didn’t want breakfast. He aeked him how | much they asked, and being told 25| conts, replied that he guessed he| would wait until he got over to| Omaha. On thus learning that there was no chance to get a quarter out of him, he was told to get off the plat- form and move on, and denounced | in words more forcible than genteel. He iuvsisted that it was a public place, and he had a right to be there 8o long as he behaved himself and did not interfere with anyone, Move he must, however, and he says they pushed him out of the chaic and abused him in every way, until a po- licoman in the employ of the U, P. found out who he was, when apologios | were made. The treatment which he relates indicates, however, what sort of a show a man will_have who is poor and friendless, and does not patronizs the honse. after taking some highly puffed up stuft, with long testimonials, turn to Hop Bitters and have no fear of any Ki({nry and Urinary troubles, Bright's Disease, Diabetes or Liver Complaint. These diseascs cannot resist the cura- tive power of Hop Bitters; besides it is the best family medicine on earth, - NEOLA, 1A, Crop Notes—Base Ball-Anderson and Hig Congressional Claims, Neora, Ta., July 29, 1882, To the Editor of Tue Rek: The two weeks of warm weather, just past, has made corn prospects in this vicinity loom up fifty per cont, but the rain of the last three days is makiug it very bad for harvest, and there will bo quite a heavy loss in small grain, Last Thursday I saw a stalk of corn that was taken from the field of E. E. Harris, which measurcd six and one-half inches in circum(er- ence, two fect from the ground joint, Mr. Harris' stand of corn was a_little too thick, and he found this stalk while walking through the field thin- ning it out, The heaviest thunder storm of the scason visited this place Thuraday morning. The heuse of J. C. Whit- ney was etruck by lightning and the roof badly ehateered, though none of the family were hurt. 1 have heard of no very serious damage from the storm, The increasing business of the Rock Island railroad at this place has necessitated their putting in turn tables here, The Miwaukee road is laying a a side track here. The new road takes on a great many passengers on the east-bound train at this place. Our athletic young men have organ- ized a bage ball club. They received their new suits Friday. "The boys have a good strong nine, and think they can “lay over” most of the clubs in this vicinily. A very saccessful party, under the auspices of the club, was had at Parnell's hal), Friday evoning. Music was furnished by Glenn’s band, of Council Bluffs ‘The sentiment against Anderson for congress i increasing in the repnb- lican ranks, and if Anderson has tho interests of the party at heart instead of purely kLis own personal aggrandize- ment, ho will resign the nomination, Otherwize doteat stares the party in the face, and tho Ninth district of Towa will be represented in congress by a democrat, and our party leadors, who claim to have only the good of the party, and peoploe at heart, should seo this before it should be everlast- ingly too late, I think there is not the least shadow of a chance of his being elected, and if he was it is questionablo whether he would be permitted to take his seat in the face of the postoffico bribe bond, The new Masonic . rder held a pub- on Tuceday evening, After the cere- monies were over those participating repaired to the residence of H, Men- del, whero a feast fit for a king was spread. The occasion was a very en- joyable one to all who were presont. 8. A M. ——— JMRSONAL, 1. L. Shugart bas returned from a short trip.

In some places theso creases are as much as six inches in length. At regular dis- tances of about a quarter of an inch in the crease are punctures as if made with a scratch-awl, extending almost to the center of the twig, and at the bottom of each of the puuctures are deposited fifteen or twenty eggs, or perhaps more, of about tho s1z3 of a hair and about one-sixteenth of an inch in length, so that each female, by depositing several hundred eges although she appurently kills he by the cffort, makes ample ~prov for the reproduction of her A true asslstant to naturc in restor- ing the system to pericet health, thus onabling it to resist disease, is Brown's Iron Bittere, GOUNCIL BLUFFS SPEGIAL __HOTIGES.
