J. Brown yesterday pleaded guilty of keeping a house of illfame, and was fined 20 and costs. City warrants on the general fund were yesterday selling at 93 cents, an advancs of two cents on a month ago. The new avenue on which Col. Sapp has been 8o zealously at work, will be ready for the public by Saturday. W. N, Wells and John Umfelt were corralled on Main street and led up to the calaboose yesterday for being drunk. The case docket for the Augustterm of the circuit court is now out, and it shows 186 cases, old and new. Rather light. There are fifteen divorce cases to be dis- posed of. The project for gétting up a new city directory for Council Blufls, has been abandoned. There never has heen one published hiere, that is, one in fact as well as in name, Delia Robinson, charged with hitting another dusky maiden over the head with a beer glass, was yesterday discharg- ed, the evidence being that the other girP was on the war path and Delia was act- ing in self defense, To thote who know the local political combats in which the two names have figured prominently, it scems a little odd that Vaughan should, while in Des Moines, stop at the Morgan house. He speaks highly in its praise, too. Omaha is to have a grove of the United Ancient order of Druids, the first one planted in the state of Nebraska, E. Rosencrans, of this city, the district deputy, has been given a special commis- sion to institute it, and the time set is this evening. To-morrow evening a_reception is to be tendered Rov. and Mrs, Do Forest, at the residence of A, B. Walker. The many friends of that worthy couple are all invited to improve the opportunity thus offered of grecting them and menting them socially. While Alderman James is talking so earnestly about the need of city improve- ment, at the expense of the property owners, would it not be well for him to Took after the sidewalk, or rather the ex- cuse for n_sidewalk along W. C, James' property in his own ward. The concert given last evening was an enjoyable one. Miss Pusey and Mr. Palmer are favorite local vocalists, and in their numbers last evening did them- selves credit. Miss Bangs, the pianist, sustained her reputation as an artist, while Mr, Skelton, as cornetist, won much praise, « Property owners who prefer to do their own filling on Broadway, can do so, under the supervision, of course, of the city engineer, The fact of the city let- ting the contract for the work is no bar to this, so those concerned can let the city do the work or do it themselves at their option. A colored man, engincer at the Ogden house, was yesterday afternoon so se- verely attacked by asthua, that it was thought he was dying and there was a lively stir. The man become light- headed and it was some time before he could be restored to any sort of a com- fortable condition. Three keen young sambos were arrest- ed for vagrants, but claimed to be Chica- go bootblacks making their way through to the Pacific coast, being anxious to see San Francisco. Judge Ayleswordh con. cluded to let them have until evening to t out of town. One of them thanked him, and at once added: *‘Shan’t I shine ‘em up, sir, only ten cent: The judge declined, aud Q.Ko dusky ones left court. Rev. M. M. Thompson, formerly of Glenwood, and who has friends and ac- quaintances throughout this part of the country, was in the city yesterday. He is now located at Siloam City, Mo., and is manager of the Siloam mineral springs which are becoming very popular, and awhose curative powers are becoming well known, The place is a favorite resort, and Mr. Thompson's management is growing in popularity. “ The city has an official organ—a small one, but still called one, and it is suy- posed to publish the ordinances, but the ordinance giving Union avenue to the Union Pacific was given also to the Non- pareil, which was whining for a spoonful of pap. As long as the city give up $40,- 000 of esrulmrty to the Union Pacitic, and Toceiv the railway company might have paid at least for publishing the ordinance. 1t is to be regretted the board of trade cannot get a quorum half of the time for its appointed meetings. There are many things which the board could and should take hold of, to benefit the city and in- directly all who do business or own prop erty here. The members should wake up, and those who are not members should become so. If outsiders don't think the board is running to suit them let them become insiders and run it themselves. It ought to run someway. e ——— J. W.

B, Clark & ty | on filing othe *THE NEW DEAL The City Conncil Tries .to Tarn Up Jack, The Gambling Business More Mud- dled Than Ever, The action of the council as published in yesterday's Bee has caused no little stir among those who have been watching the progress of the gambling question, It was generally understood that the re- cent reopening of the gambling houses was due to the weakening of the city council and the determination to return ling run, conditional on the offenders being arrested and paying a fine once a month, To be sure the resolution passed some time ago ordering the places closed had not been rescinded, but the with- drawal of Ald. Wood from the duty of seeing that the marshal enforced the or- dinance, and other moves made lately by the council indicated that they did not object to the gambling houses running The adoption of the resolution offered by Ald. Wood, instructing the judiciary committee, of which Ald. James is chair- man, to draw up articles of impeachment against Marshal Jackson, for not keeping the places closed, came therefore as a surprise. The marshal was visible on the streets at an early hour yesterday morning. “Good-by—I'm going.” He gave one of his good-natured laughs, as though he didn't tremble very much at the prospect of impeachment. “How about this impeachment busi- ness, marshal?” “Well, I'll tell you. to get Dohany's hall and give me the gate mon at £1 a head, I'll agree that the house will be packed and none shall go away without having got their money's worth of fun., ‘Hark, from the tomb a doleful sound,’ ete. You have heard that haven't you? Well, there'll be a doleful sound for some before they get through this business.” § “‘But why haven't you been enforcing the resolution?” “Now, sce here, young man, what is that resolution? It'simply calls on me to order the gambling houses closed. did order them closed, and the did close, I did just what the resolution told me to do. It didn't s keep them closed, or to prosceute them, or anything of the sort. It isn't my duty to spy around of nights after working all day, and get evidence, and work up the cases. 1 am the officer of the superior court, just as Theo. Guitar is oflicer of the higher court. They don't ask him to file informations because he is sheriff. He serves the papers which the court gives him to ser If they furnish proof, ortell me to file informations 1'll do it. What's the use, though! Can I 1f they'll agree shut up the gambling places! The mayor Why has_got more pewer than 1 have, don’t he shut them up! He has whole police force to help him, don’t the aldermen shut them up? can do is to file informations. There were some filed a little while ago and some arrcsts made, and the cases were continued two ks. Now, if I keep informations, they would have been continued, too, and if 1 had kept on they'd commence to cry perse- cution, How about other things? = Why don’t they impeach me because houses of Ynmmm..u are running in the city. Can stop them! There are lots of other ordinances being violated every da Can I helpit? Why don’t they inipen me for that? Here's Ald. Wood wants mo to_impound all the cattle, and yet when I go up to the pound I find the fence down on oneside and a whole lot of ber piled up on the other. 1 can’t do everything.” 3 ‘‘But say, marshal, how about the im- peachment business being o mere bluff— a sort of understood arrangement between you and the council, by which you are to release them from.the responsibility of gambling houses running heref”’ “1 don’t know myself what they want exactly. I'vo tried to get them'to say what they wanted done about it. Some of the aldermen have told me they be- lieved in letting them run and collecting & monthly fine of them, as the city led money and (hese’ might be lot run enough to pay off the police. Last year Alderman Wood, as chairman of the police committee, told me to run it that way. 1 don't kuow what they are trying to do.” Little more could be learned from him, made h{ others, Some think that Jack- son is, by oithoer consent on his part, or by the force of circumstances, to B the scape-goat upon whose head is to be laid the sins of ILu aldermanic camp, and he is sent out before the public to stand the curses and relieve the rest. Others oxpect that if Jacksonissquees- ed 1.{ the impeachment process he will divulge some of the secret instructions received by officials, and will otherwise make things decidedly sensational, Others predict that Jackson will turn the laugh on tho other side by suddenly pouncing down upon some establishment, and dragging in some of the big fish before the court. There may be some sensational revelations in the result of an unexpected pull some night, Still another surmise is based upon the fact that Marshal Jackson intended to file some complaint this week, and had so said, and that some of the aldermen thought that if they got this resolution of impeachment passed first, he would be nothing in return, it seems as if | sshamed to %u ahead then, for fear the public would think that he had not boen forced to prosecute on account of the council punching him up to it, and hence would defer the matter, thus giving the gamblers a littlo more rope. A finishing surmise is that some of the couucil have a desire to throw Marshal Jackson overboard, and have got him into this kind of a boot purposely to got a hold on him, One thing is pretty certain, There is music in the air and more to follow. C L — T EXPRESSMEN, Some of Them Still Kick Lu About Lic Prow nse Without stion, “Chere aro some of the expressman who donot report to the call to pay $16 a year license as common carriers, and are employing attorneys to fight their cases, One of these, on being interviewed, stated that they would never submit until they had been beaten fairly and sauarely in the highest courts of the land, and that there was already #5600 to start the fight with, The causes of the protest are that they do not receiveprotection. They claim that while they have to pay license to the old order of things and let gamb- || o [lots 14 and 15, block 12, Stutsman’s but all sorts of guesses and surmises are | f y | arrested that they do not_require a like license of teams which haul wood, coal, dirt, ete., and that these teams often haul hou hold goods, baggs ete., and cut under the regular prices for sueh work,and take that much business from them. They also kick about the street cars hauling trunks up from the depot, and _yet they are not paying license. The claim that delivery wagons often take business which justly belongs to them, and that in var Jous ways their business is taken by others who pay no such license. They say that if the city council will pass an ordinance which will protect their busi ness they will then pay promptly and cheerfully, but until then they will fight. — Don't let your children die with dysen tery or other bowel derangements pecul- iarto the scason.

A fow mornings ago Tne Bek gave a detailed conversation with the city marshal, who claimed he knew of no gambling going on in the city. Now if that is a fact, and he is a proper person for marshal, if he being so ignoront of what is going on, I think your city council here done wise in ordering an in- vestigation, but they should have gone arther and suspend~ him pending the in- ou o Hon s L they find he knows of no gambling, e should be removed for incompetency, and should be convicted on his own evidence. 1.
