Father McMenomy will doubtless become the hhhugl. and the new church here will be a cathedral, It ds to be hoped so, surely, The city council is to take a look to- day at tza street which the C, B, & Q. want vacated for a new depot, Alder. man Seidentopf has already declared that will vote against the vacation because the railway has neglected to comply with the order for raising the track on Mis- souri avenue, U. H. White refuses to pay for the o ving of his part of the alley between Ein and Barcroft streets, does .80 on the ground that the city has never bought his part of the alley, and that he owns it as private property, but seems to it to the city if he is not compelled to pay for the paving, Another unhappy couple have their history filed at the court i entitled Auia Burke his earnings for drink, and that in boing set freo from such a husband she ought to be given the custody of their threo children. The Knights Templar who visited Council Bluffs were the guests of the Chicago, Burlington & Quincy railway, and much of the pleasuro of their visit to the city was due to the courteous at- tention paid them by A. B, West, the general ‘agent, who provided thom "with carringes and looked after their wants and desires closely, Yesterday afternoon a man giving his namo as James Wilson raised arumpus at the Bryant house. The proprietor tried to put him out, when Wilson turned and struck him, and in the struggle smashed all the glass out of one of the front doors of the hotel. Officer Hayes came along and took the man in. Wilson wasdrunk at the time, ugly drunk, There are noneof thesaloon’men proba- bly who are not acquainted with “Sport Miller,” The old man is too prone to drink, and it is a shame to load him up, Marshal Jackson now steps to the front and offers & reward for the proof of any one selling Miller any _intoxicating drinks. This may help Miller in his promise not to get roaring drunk any “| more, J. W. Mattock, of Crescent township, has captured a great curiosity, near his Lome, it being a little garter mnake with two porfect heads. Tho little follow attracted much attention yesterday, and has heen given a place among Temple- ton & Lamb's curiosities. The snake js more of a genuine curiosity than- the red bat. 1t is still_alivo and” gives promise of growth. ~ Each head is perfoct and " distirict tho juncture being about half an inch from thoe heads, Entries for the coming races closed on Monday night, and have exceoded the expectations of all. Thero are already over 80 entries, all the races being fillod, and among the number are somo excel. lent horses, and many new ones which have never appeared at Council Bluffy. The entries will not be made public until time has been given for all the mails to reach here, as other entries aro on the way. Council Bluffs never had such races as those promised at the coming fair, and with the great exhibitions in ali departments and the many novel fen. tures, the fair cannot but prove the greatest of the west this season, The question as to whether the streot car company i to pay for the filling up of that part of Main streot ocoupicd by ita tracks, or whethor the property ow. ers are to pay for it, still hangs unsottlod. There was to be an agreed case submit- ted, but the city attorney and the com. pany's attorney talked it over a little, and nothing else has been done. Some of the property owners on Main streot refuso to pay, and it is about time the question was settled. The same ques- tion arises as to the filling of Broadway, and it seems that the city council should have some au:horitative decision on the matter before there is another tangle and conflict there. At the colored voters convention there Wwas not a very large ov enthusiastic at. tendance, T;)’\mmuq Buckner called the meeting to order and was elected chair- man. R. H. Johnson served as secro- tary. Charles Curtis and W. H., Mills, the aspirants for the honors of being del- ogates to Louisville, made samplo speech. o8, and on a ballot being taken Willis re- caived 13 and Curtis 10. Curtis’ friends claim that there were three illegal votes, and made & motion to have another bal. lot taken, but it was lost, and Willis was declared the delegate. Curtis’ supporters insist on his going as a delegate also, In the meantime he proposes to do a little stump speaking, and~ will open at Glen- wood Friday night, There was a lively runaway on Ban- croft street yesterday., Denver Smith was hauling a”load of stovepipe joints for a hardware house, and stopping to tie a rope around tho load, some of which was falling off, threw one end of the rope around, accidentally hitting one of the horses. The horses jumped, tipping over the wagon, and ‘almost burying Smith under the load of stovepipe, while they dashed down the street. They col- lided ‘with a farmer’s wagon loaded with vegotables. The farmer, who was from Glenweod, was in a store trying to sell his produce, while his wife “sat waiting in tho wagon. This wagon was tipped over and its contents spilled, one wheel broken, and the woman narrowly cs- caped injury, $ The fatal epidemics, dysentery, dij- theria, ete. Dr, Jefferios furnishes to Piu Yntronu the true panacea, It is in- allible, e —— Pushing Into the Mountains, Col. John L. Burns, the commercial tourist, who represents Lachman & Jac. ohi, of San Francisco, and who has made during his visits to Omaha and Council Bluffs many acquaintances as well as cus- tomers, is now back on the Pacific coast, and the press is giving him quite an air- ing upon his latest expedition, Taking with him a guide and associates, he starts October 1, on a trip of 5,000 miles on horseback, through the northern art of Califernia, and J‘mlhin on into {l)regun, Ho is given the crerfit of riding o 83,000 horse, and his outfit, including pack mules, tents, provisions, etc., cost about 86,000, By the time he next reaches this part of the country he will doubtless have a bigger store ‘than eyer of his anecdotes of adventure and ro- mance, and will doubtless by the trip get rid of ua' ‘‘dudish” mannerisms he may have, Col, Burns is probably the richest commercial tourist on the road, his pos- sessions on this earth being estimated as reaching §2,000,000, to say nothing of what riches he has laid upin heayen, It is said too that he is engaged to a Pacitic coast heiress, and in fact he seems to have struck luck all around, and yet keeps travelling, e Prairie chickens and A, Booth's select oysters reseived daily at W, T.

The new city jail is fast ay proaching completion, and will ere long be in actual use as a substitute for the horrible hole called the calaboose, In this new build- ing, however, there have been no arrang- ments made for anything but a jail, and there is need for a new city building proper with room for the superior court and the city offices. The council has now arranged for this temporarily by the purchase of the two-story brick building owned by J. P. Goulden, and located near the new city jail, the city already owning the vacant lot between. The brick building is to.'be fitted up for a court room up stairs, and offices down stairs, and _will serve the pur- pose of a new city building until the treasury will warrant the erection of a larger and more suitable one. The old building now occupied is to be tora down, a8 it ought to have been long ago, thus permitting the opening of Glen avenue to full width, Thisold building haslong been a disgrace, and it is high time it was abandoned. The building just purchased will be some improvement, but still it is not what ity ought to have, but it may answer the purpose for a short time, The price paid Goulden is £3,000, The present occupants havelease of the build- ing for a year, so that the ity will have to effect some arrangement with the: they want to secure immediate occu- pancy. Dr. West, dentist, 14 Pearl streot. ——— CALLED TO DENISON. Rev. H. McMeckin to be Settled There as a Pastor, For several months Rev. H. Me- Meckin served as supply to the Preshy- terian church in this city, and gained here many friends and acquaintances. From here he went back to Canada where his family were and now he ro- turns to Iowa, having been called to the pastorate of the Denison Presbyterian church. The Bulletin says of che action taken by the church: After divine services on Sunday, Au- Bust 12, at the Presbyterian church, the members held a_congregational meoting in the evening, which was well attended, Mr. Hugh McWilliams having been called on to preside, put the question to the people, whether they desired to ro. tain_the services of the Rev. H. Me. Meekin as pastor, and the answer was unanimous in the aflirmative: not one dissenting voice. The vote was next taken on’ salary, and an advance of any previous subscription was proposed and carried. We understand if the board of missions come forward with their usual liberality to gid the congregation, the sorvices of this gifted minister can be secured. Rev. McMeckin is & man of experience in missionary work, and has filled some of the highest positions in the Presbyterian church, Ho had full houses Sunday, the 12th inst., and his congroga- tion is likely to increase, S ——— .
