M. Matthews, of this city, has been appointed deputy grand master of the 0dd Fellows for this district, including Pottawattamic and Mills county. The officers now, when thoy arrest a man, unless he is to drunk too move, take him to the county jail, for fear that he might fall asleep in the calabose and roll out, George Ferguson, of the Pacific house, is showing up some pretty good corn from his farm at Persia, considering that the weather has made 1t hard to coax it along. The Round table meets to-morrow evening at Dr, Montgomery’s residence, the programme to be the same as that arranged for last week, that meeting hay- ing been broken into by the storm. The grand jury has found an indict- ¢ ment against young Lloyd, the mere boy who was arrested for trying to get a check cashed at the Citizens’ bank, with the forged name of J. R. Davidson. however, no immediate prospect of sell ing the buildings, as the sums offered are too low for the council to accept. The city could probably get a higher price by waiting until spring.

The sooner something is done the better, as under the present circumstancerthe city is worse off than if it had none. The challange of the Farling shooting spted by Council Bluffs, rd for the 22d inat. at Earling is to be represented by H. S, Crogans, Cal. Calli- son, W. W. Maysont, Al Dickey, D. M. McKennie, and E.

The mission Sunday schools serve the peace and order of the state by educating the children in honesty and virtue, and therefore should be admitted to the szhool building.” A short time ago an inquiry came from the east concerning some Council Blulfs city bonds, on which the interest had not been paid. A search was made through the records by the auditor here, and no such numbered bonds could be found registered here. At once the con- clusion was jumped at by the sensational reporters that a big forgery had been committed,and they dovoted column after column to the imaginary fraud, 1t now appears that the bank making the in- quiry made a littlo mistake. The bonds hey wanted to know about were some issued by Council Girove, Kan, The promiso is now made, as it bas been many times before, that the Coun- cil Bluffs tolegraph facilities were to be enlarged and improved. It is almost would be well for the head officials to get enough of a force so that if there is need of sending telegrams at night the need swl, 7, 7 could be met, As it is now there is one ering too easily by the ta thicas who want to oppose every sort of an jmprov- ment., e Mrs, M.

The suit was brought on damages claimed on hams shipped them, and was similar to another suit brought by a Mobile firm for a like amount, §2,000, and which, like thie, was docided in favor of Mr, Stewart. The case of Groneweg & Shoentgon vs, Thomas Meristein, of Neola, occupied most of the day, and was given to the jury Saturday night.
