He leaves a wife and five children, The Improvement of Klel's hotel stlll goes or, There are very marked changes now belng made in the office, 1t belog fitted up Ina very attractive and convenlent manner. The Avoca Herald, in commenting upon the saloonlsts of this ocity, an- swers the question ‘'Will they kick?" by saying: “They have no right to kick on account of the license. It is certalnly very low for a clty the size of the Bluffs,” Yesterdsy being Ascension Day, or Holy Thuraday, speclal services wero held at the Catholic church, in con- nection with the misslon in progress thero. All of the services of the misslon are belng very largely at- tended, Justice Schurz declded the dog case yesterdsy by discharging the defend- ant, Honry Boye, virtually holding that a man had a right to shoot a dog if 1t came on his premises and chased his chickens: Ata little soclal gathering of young folks the other evening, It is said that some too practical jokers doped the candy 80 that a number of the par- ticipants were made qulte sick, some rather serlously so.

His lecture on “London Soclety,” which he Is to dellver here, Is pronounced as one of the most popularones. Prof. L. Schelmann, of Cleveland, a muslcal Instractor and composer of no mean abllity,*ls in correspondence wi'h Mr. J. Mueller, the well known masic dealer of this city, with a view of muking this place his home. This clty surely needs oue or more good mueloal instructors, It Is to be hoped that the people of Councll B uffs will realize the high character of the entertalnment offared this evening at Dohany's In the lecture tobe given by Mr, Armstrong, Asa thinker and orator he is so well known that the mere announcement of his coming should draw a crowded house, Mrs. R. N. Morrlam, wife of the Broadway grocer, died yesterdsy af- ternson about 1 o'clock, at her home on Sixth street. Qulck consumption was the cause of death. Mrs, Mer- riam had many frlends in this clty who will mourn her death, and the bereaved ones may rest assured of mauoch heartfelt sympathy In thelr sor- row. John Ahles’ new lecture, which he dellvered to a small company of his friends the other evening, has becn very favorably commented on, and as 1t treats of sclentific philosophic ques- tlons which are now interasting the public mind greatly, it is to be hoped that arracgements can be made by which a larger audience can bave the privilege of hearing it, as It preeents many thoughts that are entirely new to the aversge man, L B.

Why not be Y | Liacy’s supposad pet gamos, GOING FOR THE CAMBLERS Som of the Inside History of the Sudden Reform Movement. Biters Got Bit and Masks are Torn Off, .| An Iateresting Yot Ludicrons Bat- tle on Hard. When the olty councll lssued the order that all gamblirg places In the olty shall ba closed, one knowlog one was heard to remark that it woald be esay to get them closed, and hard to Ret them open again. Most people thought the opposite would be the fact, that it would be Impossible to shat up the gambling places, and that they would soon be running agaln, but It ssems now that ‘‘the kaowlng one” may yet prove to be right. There {s much below the surface in this commotton about gambling places. To an cutsider snd ocaeual observer it would appear that tho clty council had suddenly woke up to the fact that in no ci'y In the unlon is gambling carrled on 80 openly and eo gonerally as in Council Bioffs, and that tho aldermen, inspired by sowme sudden snd mighty thrill of moral in- spiratio ., had risen In the!r might and doiermined to wipe out the great evil. All bosh ! Theto is to start with the fact, ad- mitted on all sldes, that Council Bluffs needs to have a house cleantag, morally speaking. Almost every sa- loon has had some sort of a gambling game runcing, and openly too, besldes the regular gambling houses, The moral people are dlsgusted and demand aroform, The business men insist an a matter of businees policy, that there shall not be ¢o many traps open to catch thelr customers’ money. A large number of saloon men want to see the gambling stopped, because those sa- loons with which regular gambling entablishments are connected are do- Ing most of the bar business, especlal- ly in the eveninge, leaving thelr own sample rooms dreary and lonesome, and thelr tills empty. Added to thoso opponents of the gambllng saloons are some of the gamblers themselves. They find the business {s all chopped up, and a fow aro kicking greatly because they cannot moaopolize it and divide the profits between two or three Instead of fifteen or twenty. With such a feeling it secoms natu- ral for some actlon to reenlt, and henco the move. The ind catlons are quite apparent that in view of the way business was belog run, a little clique of gamblers concelved ths brilllant idea of using their politloal power to get an order passed by the council shutting up certain games, thus throwing to them and thelr games the benefit of all the business, This clique Is the one of which Pat Lacy seems to bo the acknowledged head and front. The sudden discov- ery was made by Lacy's friends that keno was a robbing game, ton times worse than faro, and that something ought to bo done to protect the boys and workingmen from being robbed by it. a It s well known that Ben Marks O'Ronrke’s sult agalost the city for $16,000 damages for a leg broken by a fall on & Main rtrect stdewalk Bids of Wickham Bros, & M. A Moore were opened for paving the alley in the rear of Shugart's ba ldlng on Main street. Referred. Adjourned tlll this evening.

Alderman James handed over the resolution to Alderman Wood. He looked it over, saw the omission, and belteviog that there ehoula be a fair dea! all} around, lnserted ‘“‘faro,” and in that form the resolution was passed, it belng too late then for any one to object, and there being no chance to object very much without showlng up the real fight which was going on in the ear, Pat Lacy stood in the lobby watching the proeeedings with inter- est. There were ome or two other reeolutions passed the same evening, both ordering improvements in Licy’ property. This was all the business done at the meeting, and it seemed a Licy arrangement pretty thoroughly. The resolution as adopted provided for shutting up all the places. This was not what was planned for by the Lacy clique, but having gone so far there was no backing out. The order belng lsened, all the gamtlag h-uses closed at once, each party not car- ing to glve the other ono a chanca to ralse & rumpus by violatlng the order. They also are quite willing to keep shut up, bellev- ing In the survival of the fistest, and each in the hope of tirivg others out, so that when they resume thers will be fower to do tae buelness and the profita will be larger. The funny part of it is that now sented to an order to close, and have complied therewith, there are some i the council who propose to take them at thelr word and keep them closed 1f pessible, It is thought that it will effact two things. Iv will teach the gamblers that if they try to use the councll as s club to thump some other gamblers they are llable toget clubbed with their own weapon, It will also have the effect to lessen gambling here, and drive it into quist nooks, ard under cover so that iv will not ba an open temptatlon for the yourg and the poor, The eweat box has been shrewdly constrreted by one clique for another, batit locks now as if ‘both cliques wou!d be aweated ia it, Which can stand {t the longest remalus to be seen, At & meetlng of the council last night Aldermaa Sledentopf withdrew his protest against the legallty of the special meeting, at which the 1esolu- tion was paesed shutting off all gam blirg houses, He then moved that the police committee—Ald, Wood, Eicher and McMahou—be empowered to carry out the resolution, the mar- shal 80 obey their orders In the mat- bealthy, robust, and strong, by using Brown's Iron Bittersi ter, Notice was given of Mrs, El'zabeth that the gamblera have yirtually con- |h “‘London Society.” All who have heard 1t have been charmed and de- lighted, and it is declared to bo one of the best of that orator's many able leotures, The high rank which Mr, Armstrong has reached among echol- ars and thinkers entitles him toa large audlence, and none can go away disappolnted.
