The Harlan Tribune say, the new five cent pieces are getting thick. One would naturally think that, like other coins, they would get thin by use, rather than thick. William Read, for being drunk, had yesterday the distinction of being the only one to step before the bar in the po- lice court. He got the usual dose, and paid cash for the prescription. A brakeman named John Coakley, em- ployed on the C., M. & St. Paul railroad, was fatally injured Tucsday, at Earling, by being cnugi’\t somo way in the turn- table on which was an engine. The circuit court opens its term one week from Monday. The calender is quite light the.s being only 189 cases, and of those more than half are old ones, and many wil' be settled or con- tinued. There is some talk of haying special excursion rates to Spirit Lake. This would give a good chance for many of our citizens to visit that beautiful resort, and if enough are desirous of going, it is :Imnght an excursion could be arranged or., No one has yet been chosen to fill the superintendency of the institution for the deaf and dumb, but it is not improb- able that the present superintendent of the Arkansas institution at Little Rock will be called. B. F. Clayton, of the board of trustees, has gone there to in- terview him about it. John R. Martin has gone to work on the steam heating apparatus of the Bloomer school building, the board of education having wisely concluded to get it in shape before the cold weather comes on, as much trouble has been experienced in the winter time by defects in the ar- rangements, The other night a search warrant was issued for one of the gambling houses, and placed in the hands of Officer Leonard, who visited the place, but was kept from seizing the gambling pera- phornalia by order of the mayor. The scarch warrant has not been returned into court, and there is some curiosity to aee what kind of a return the officer will make. Bring it in, A Danish family named Nelson, living at Harlan, seems to have more than their ahare of trouble. The husband and father was killed about five years ago, NG SIMPLICITY. The OMoiala Olaim Not to Know That There 18 Any Gambling Going On. “Say, Marshal Jackson, why don’t you close up tho gambling houses 1" “Well, I'll tell you, young fellow. 1f anybody wants to file a complaint or fur nish me the proof, I'll seo that they are prosccuted; but as long as 1o one will give mo the proof, what can 1 do? 1 “|don't know that there is any gambling going on. Where are the witnesses!” The questioner replied that he didn't think it would be very hard work to get witnesses, but Officors Clough and Mul- len appearing in sight the city marshal turned on them— “Clough, do you know of any gam- bling going on?” “Why, Mullen and Lare on days. How should we know?" “Why, yes, wo are on days. Ask some of the night force,” chimed in Mul- len. It was suggested that the gambling houses did not confine their business wholly to night hours, but neither officers was willing to testify that they knew anything of their own knowledge, and could not be of any value as witnesses. Chief Field camo along, and the mar- shal tackled him: “‘Say, chief, do you know of any gambling going on in the city?” “Why, 1 thought that was your special business. That belongs to you to look after. How should we know anything it Jackson then collared the city clerk, who chanced to bo standing looking on and listening: “‘Say, Troutman, do you kuow anything about there being any gambling going onl 1 want to find some witnesses. These newspaper men are howling about the gambling. Have you seen anybedy gambling?" “Well, [ don't go to gambling heuses myself, but I'll bet you ? can find & hun- dred witnesses, if you want them.” “Oh, that's what they all say, they can fiut somebody, but I don't know of any- ody who will testify themsclves. I don’t want hearsay evidence.” Two or three respectablo citizens passed by. The marshal stopped them with the same query. They denied that they frequented gambling houses, and hence could only give hearsay evidence. ““There, you see,” said Jackson turn- ing to the original inquirer. T can’t find witnesses, nebody to prove it by. Give me the proof and LIl prosceite them.” “But why don’t you drop in yourself, and see for yourself " +Oh, well, Idon't go to such places. 1 don’t frequent gambling houses, That's the reason.” The simplicity of the marshal and officials—as shown by tho above conver sation held yesterday, is refreshing. It is a commonly known fact that gambling houses are running here, and yet no proof can be had of the fact. Be- cause private individuals do not care to take upon themselves the prosecution of cases, the officials excuse themselves. The council here directed the marshal to enforce the ordinance. The marshal says they don’t mean it, and that the city attorney shall file tlte injunctions. The city attorney says he will if the offi- cors will get the proof and sign the com- plaint. Thus it 1s shifted from shoulder to shoulder, making the whole thing a farce. If the city council want to return to the old system of monthly fines, let them say 80 in plain English, and let the pub- lic 8o understand it. 1f the marshal feels that he must obey the instructions only of the council, let him say openly what those instructions are, and if he don't know, let him not rest till he finds out. : The public is sick of hearing the au- thorities say one thing and mean another. If proof is wanted with which to pros- ecute, any officer can get it by marching into any gambling house now running and taking names. There seems to be a guard kept at the door to warn the in- mates or shut out intruders, e ———— J. W.

The court de- cided to hold him to the district court, the bonds being$300. Unable to furnish the amount, he was jailed again, An anonymous uw.l;.iler in one of :lhe evening e attention to the fact that ‘F‘u‘f Ber was the only paper here which aired up to the back pay grab of the city council, and that it was several days before the other papers moticed it. He raises the question why it is that Council Bluffs citizens have to take Tue BeE in order to keep posted as to the doings of the councill The answer is a simple one, Tue Bk is the only paper that has enterprise enough to ot the news, and pluck enough to pub- ish it, It has no petty political ax to &ind, and it does not suppress news for e sake of keeping peace with ward politicians. The long drawn and constantly contin- ued case of Paul Brackert, charged with assault,came up again before Justice Ab- bott yesterday. Mr, Sears appeared for the prosecution and Mr. Hart for the defense. The latter atttorney raised a tfiuenion of the jurisdiction of the court and attacked the information as defec- tive, and quite a long legal tirade follow- ed. ' The court decided that it had juris- diction but that the information” was faulty, and gave the prosecution until 9 o'clock this evening to amend. It seems that attorney Sears only wanted a few minutes in which to make the amend- ment, and wus as rmvukud at having the case delayed till another day that he e —— Dr. West, dentist, 14 Pearl streot. e— GRAND CONCERT, At Bock's garden_ to-morrow afternoon and evening, Good music, WM. BOHNING, e — BACK PAY, It Begins to be Paid Back, and All Trouble Prevented, Since the resolution of the city coun- cil voting themselves $26 a month from the first of April last was shown up by Tux Bee there been not only much com- ment but threats of prosecution Under this resolution the amount already due each alderman up to August was $100, As already stated, Aldermen James and McMahon had received their orders for that amount. ~ Alderman McMahon did not cash his order, but in view of the apparent illug&li'{ of the resolution, and the prospect of objection on the part of tax-payers, has returned the order to Auditor Burke, and takes his receipt for the same He was not present at the meeting, when the resolu- tion was passed, and hence did not vote on the question, He says that he, of course, wants all the money that ke is entitled to, but he don’t want any uore, and so long as there is a doubt about his being entitled to this $100 he does not | ropose. to tako it.

It is understood that Ald. Jones has | already cashed his order, but then an- other ‘100 would probably be accepted in its place, if he feels disposed to turn the money back into the treasury. The other aldermen had not yesterday eavo his share of the appropriation in | B0k, drawn their salaries, and as there is to be a regular meeting Monday evening there will probably be nothing done about it until then. The council will then have a chance to undo_their action, if they are convinced, as they must be by this time, that the public will not stand this way of handling the money of the city. If they feel that the aldermen are working too much for honor and too little for money, and are getting too little of cither, they might see to it in some way that some future aldermen get a raise of salary; and that the present aldermen 8o change their policy as to get more honor right away, even if they can- not get more money. ———— Spiritual cirele in rooms No. 4 and b, Shuggart & McMahon's block, tomorrow (Sunday) afternoon at 3 o’clock and even- ing, at 8 o'clock.

A short time ago the body of a man was found hanging in the woods about soven miles from here, it proving to be that of George W. House, who had dis- appeared about ten days before, and who had undoubtedly been hanging there for several days. At the inquest little could be learned of who or where his friends were, beyond what could be learned from his discharge papers, and other army doc- uments, which showed that he was from Maine. Coroner Faul has since that time been writing to parties there, and now has re- ceived in reply the followingletter which is self-explaining: StaTE OF MAINE, Execurive DEPARTMENT, Avausta, July 31, 1883, Henry Faul, DeAr Sik: Your letter of July 24th to the postmaster of Wil- liamsburg, Maine, in regard to inquest over the remains of George W.

He has a wife and three children in Lee, Maine. Her address is Mrs. Laura House, Lee, Me. His effects should be sent to her. I shall notify her of his death to-day. Will you please write me the particu- lars of his death and all you know of the case. Thanking you for your effort to find his friends, T am Yours very truly, Mau. C. J.
