The city council is to meet to-night Considerable interest is manifest as to whether anything will be done about the fire alarm system, Everybody of do- pendenco upon the present system is surely worse than having no alarm, Among Cupid's latest captives are an- nounced: George E. Rarey and Eleanor E. Schofield, both ef Whipple; Daniel Keeler, of Cedar Rapids, and Sarah M, Wilson, of Rochester, N. Y.; Harry Seott and Laura Hoyt, both of this city, Council Bluffs ought to be ashamed of itself for teing a city of 22,000 people, and not & single public hospital.

Oue loving couple appeared before Justice Abbott yesterday for marriage, and when he asked her if she would take this man, ete,, she chirped out, *‘You ’% b':. 1 owill.” Tl:l'l oerenll‘uny was W] reporters call peculiarly im- pressive, if not solemn, Some mischievous fellow stuck a light- ed candle.in one of the electric street lamps, and got a erowd to gaping at it, and wondering if that was all the light that electricity was to give.

In the district court yesterday most of the day was spent in a hoearing of the e of W. S. Packard va. M. L. Span- who were formerly in business to- t, the suit growing out cerning partnership mat ters and business deals while they were in partnership tegether. Charles Strock, the catcher of the old Council Bluffs club, has received an of- fer to play with the Sioux Citys next year, but has declined asfhe has several offers from eastern clubs and will proba- bly accept one of those. McSorley, the old pitcher, has signed with the Chicago Unions for next year. I'rom a communication in The Chicago Tribune from W. S, Ament, lately a law- yer in this city, but now of Harvard, Neb., it appears that he with others have organized a young republican Robert T. Lincoln club there, for the avewed pur- pose of helping Lincoln into the presi- dential chair next season. It takes cheek to be anyways connected with the evaning democratic sheet, but cheek ontcheeks cheek, when a special call is made on Tue Bee office for an extra copy of this paper to clip an item of news from, and then the item is repro- duced without any credit, save a sneer at “‘an Omaha paper.” The tissue paper festival of the Epis- copalian ladies opened at Dohany’s last evening, with much promise of being a great success, The bazars were trimmed with various colored tissue papers, and the hall very prettily decorated. Var- ious articles are to be voted for and otherwise disposed of, and excellent re- froshments are served. Little Nina Gates and Dell Wheeler, while returning from school yesterday, near the corner of Sixth avenue and Sev- enth street were attacked by two largo dogs, who threw the little girls down in the mud and tore their dresses, but did not bite them, The owners of such dogs ought to be called to the front. There is a dangerous place on the street between the Rock Island and the Milwaukee depots. Just at the end of the culvert put in by the Rock Island company there is a deep hole with no protection about it, and anyone on foot is not only liable to step off mto it, but teams are liable to tumble iuto it at night. More books would be gratefully re- ceived by the trustees of the public en torprise. It is everybody’s library, and all citizens should take an active interest init, They would feel still more of a personal nterest if from their own pri- vate libraries they should select volumes to donate to the public use. Those who have this much publicspirit and whohave books, can do no better with them, Council Bluffs lodge, No. 48, K. of P., has elected as officers for the ensuing term: J. E. Metcalf, P. C.; G. W, Mc- Coy, 0. C.; John Hammer, V. C.; G. M. NEWSY NEOLA. A Vartety of Items Gathered by “The Bee' in that Lively Town. Correspondence of THe Bre. Nrora, Ta., December 10.—The town has been unusually busy in the last fow dags. The streets have been full of toams daily, loaded with produce for this market. The Preshyterian congregation have a committee of ladies at work soliciting subscriptions for a fund with which they intend to reseat their church more ele- gantly. The fair committee, acting under in- structions of Father Moran, are having quite a success in gathering up articles contributed by citizens here and in tho vicinity for the coming Catholic fair to be held in the near future, guarantees success to such undertakings. The fire shines brighter in the home of Justice Clark since the advent of his as- sociate justice, a ten-puunder. Tur Bek family are quite numerous in this little village. All business men who thoroughly understand business take Tur Daruy Bek. Quite atrial has been going on in the crimmal court for fhe last fow days. About seven miles east of this place there lives a lawless family by the name of Whittaker. Last Friday they associ- ated themselves with two other boys by the name of Schuman and went over to the farm of one Jacob Bartels and threatened to annihalate the entiro Bartels family. They were promptly entertained by Mr. Bartels and his two sons who are men grown, Sam. Whitt- aker, the leader of the gang, got several severe raps over the head and forehead with a pitchfork in the hands of Mr. Bartels. This demoralized the boys and thoy skipped out at once much wisor than when they came. Hence the law suit, Freddie Witt, one of the boys here, gave the people a genuine surprise last night when he walked into the Union hotel and spread the name of F. M. Witt and wife on the register. Mrs. Witt (nee Lawrence) has been among us for several years and has a hest of friends. We congratulate Fred on drawing so rich a prize and may his shadow never grow less, and may the happiness he now enjoys be ever- lasting. Mrs, Norris, wife of John W. Norris, died at her home this morning after a long lingering illness of malarial fever. The family have the sympathies of the entire community in this their hour of trial. The deceased was near on to fifty years old and has been a resident of Iowa for twenty-five years. Quite a crowd of excited citizens gath- ered in the street in front of Bland Richstan’s store the other day to see ‘‘the elephant” that he advertised he had bought at a cost of fifty-two thousand dollars, They demanded his presence, and when he appeared in his ‘‘Bland” like way, he satisfied them all by point- ing to Jumbo the big elophant sign on Neola always Washburn, prelate; C.

Washburn, trus- tess; G. M. Washburn, D, D. G. C. In tho district court this morning the arguments will be made in the case of Harry Beecroft against the city for grad- ing North street from Broadway to the creek. There is also a suit pending against the property owners who refuse to pay the amount asscssed against them for the work., Of course the laborer is worthy of his hire, and proposes to get his pay from some one, and the decision of one case will probably determine the other, A very sick man was picked up in this city yesterday by the police and taken to headquarters, His tongue was so badly swollen with some throat trouble that he could not talk and but little could be learned about him, except that his name was Miller, that he had just arrived from Colorado, and had a brother living in Jefferson county, Towa Word was sent to the latter, and as the sick man had no mouey he was taken to the poor farm, and placed under medical treatment, pending somo word from his friends. e —— THE NEW DYEWORKS, F. R, Hurlburt has opened, at No. 34 Pearl street, a steam dlyinu and French drY cleaning works. Plumes and tips, volvots, silks, eatins, gent's clothing, merchant’s sholf worn goods, all made as good a8 new. — THE LIGHTNING'S LIGHT. It is to Be Tested To-Day and Be Blazing this Evening. Yesterday afternoon the globes arrived for the electic light, and the promises arc made that to-day everything will be in readiness so as to test the machinery and apparatus, and it is expected that the lamps will be set going so that to- night they will show up in all their glory. Council Bluffs has talked much about having an electric light, and now it looks as if within a fow hours it would surely have it, o —— making, cutting and fitting a specialty.

A Good Thing, Dr. Adam Miller, Chicago, I, says: “I have recommended Horsford’s Acid Pho;shlte to my Rntiantn, and have re- ceived very favorable reports. 1t is one of the very few really valuable prepara- tions now offered to the afficted. Ina practice of thirty-five years I have found a few good things, and this is one of them.” THE BOARD OF TRADE, Legislation I'or Improvements. The board of trade held a meeting last night. N. M. Pusey, of the committee on leg- islation, reported a bill for bonding cities of the first class for improvements, The report was adopted, and the bill referred to the city council for consideration and approval, On motion of .J, M, Palmer a commit- teo was appointed, consisting of N. M. Pusey, W. ¥. Sapp, . L. Shugart and S. P, Casady, to go to Des Moines, Jan- uary 8th, to meet other representatives of Towa cities to secure needed improve- ment bond legislation, The council is asked to endorse them, as delegates in addition to the delegates from the council. Mr. Pusey reported in relation to the sowerage tax, and offered a bill for the legislature, which was approved and re- ferred to the city council. J. P, Casady, N. M. Pusey and W, ¥, Sapp were chosen to lay these bills be- fore the council, Tho board gave unanimous expression to a desire for stone instead of brick for the new government building o .
