The Danishicitizens are preparing for a great dance at Bloom & Nixon's hall on the evening of the 15th. The railway tracks of the C. B. & Q near David Bradley & Co.'s building, have been raised toconform with thegrade. T. 8. Conche is raising his residence, corner of Sixth avenue and Eighth streot, 80 as to have it up to grade, and above all possibility of dampness. A complaint was yesterday filed by Charles Curtis, colored, against Schwe- der, who keeps a saloon on upper Broad- way, charging him with selling liquor to some small colored boys. The trial of the case is set for next Friday. There was a report spread about the street las evening that the grand jury had decided not to indict Dr, Cross for killing Dr. McKune. The report seems to have no foundation in fact, The grand jury has not yet found an indict- ment, but has the matter u.der consider- atiou, 1t is now expected that thejwaterworks will be turned on in full by Wednesday of next week. Steam was turned on and the centrifugal purrps started a week ago, and the Knowles pumps will soon be started, the only wait now being for a man to arrive from the Knowles company to start these pumps, as they are guaran- teed to work satisfactory, and the water- works company prefer to have the makers of the pump start them themselves. W. J. Henry, of Kansas City, who has a fire plavm system known by his name, proposes to put in fifty boxes here for $3,000, using the present lines. This is much cheaper than the Gamewell boxes, but whether they will prove cheaper in the long run is yet to be determined. One thing is certain. The city needs a new fire alarm, badly, and it has already been shown that there is such a thing as extravagant economy. The money ex- pended on the present system has been almost like money thrown away, Hans Peter Jensen, had his examina- tion before Justice Vaughn yesterday, and there was a cloud of witnesses from Bloomer township. There were three cases against him, but most of the time was spent in the examination of the charge of selling mortgaged property. Witnesses were introduced who testified that Mr, Fenerhanken, who held the mortgage, fhad told him to sell it and Jensen was therefore discharged. The two other cases were then dropped. Mueller, whose name is quite familiar to the public, calls special attention in other columns to his stock of holiday goods. His large store indeed seems to be the headquarters of Santa Claus, and never before has there been displayed such a quantity, such a varioty, so many novelties, and such rich goods, as this season, Everyone should visit Mueller's, for there can be surely found gifts to suit friends of all ages and of all tastes. Drop in and look at thedisplay. It speaks its own praise. | ———— Mrs. M. Carroll, fashionable dross- making, cutting and fitting a specialty, Apprentices wanted.

Then having folks and the police, and the fellow was taken to headquarters, where a charge of burglary was entered against him. He waived exumination, was taken down to jail and now the grand jury will con- sider his case. He gave his name as Jack Williams, and was very reticent about his previous record or whereabouts. When asked what he was doing in the house he simply said that he was look- ing over the houso with a view of rent- ing it, a very flimsy excuse indeed. No property was found on his person, and no valuahles have been missed from the house. — Diptheria is prevalent., Use Dr. Jeft ries’ (Council Bluffs) preventive and cure, or buy a coffin, “You pay your money %nd take your choice. o — TO PAY ORNOT TO PAY, Can tl.e Council Assess the Cost of Grading Streets to the Adja- cent Property? Yesderday morning in the distyict court the case of Beecroft vs. the city was called up, and argued before Judge Reed. This case, involving as it does, sess the cost of filling streets to the ad- jacent property, naturally interests all citizens, and the arguments were listen- od to with close attention by quite an audience. C. R. Scott, who appeared for Mr. Beecroft, took the ground that if a street had been ordered paved, then the adjacent property owners could be made to bear the expense of filling up the residence of J. L, Forman, on upper | him thus imprisoned theysent for the men [ the question of the right of the city to as- |4 everything was ready for the start last ed yesterday afternoon that the boiler of the engine which was to furnish power to drive the dynamo machine was out of order, leak- ing, and not in a safe condition to use. Men were at once put at work on it, and will be kept at work day and night until that is fixed. Whether there are obsta- cles yet to cause delay remains to be seen, but there appears now no reasor why as_soon as this is attended to the lights should not_start, as the circuit has been tested and found complete, and the lamps are already in placé, and every. thing else ready fer actual work e— it was disco night, but Six per cent city and farm loans. 8. W Fergusson & Co., 39 Pearl St. mw& e FADED FLOWERS, A Mussy Muss—An Enraged Woman With jan Axe~Threats to Kill and Ulouds of Cuss Words, Monsicur and Madame Le Fleur, whose names for a long time have been associated with various sensational chap- ters about *‘the dug-out,” have changed their residence onto lower Broadway, where the madame has started a laundry. She recently employed as help a woman named Maggie McBride, who has been living in Omaha, working at various ho- tels. Tuesday there appeared on the scenc a fellow giving his name as Hyde, who claimed that the McBride woman was his aflianced and he wanted to get her away from such a house. He abused the house and Madame Le Fleur in turn abused him, as she has one of those tongues which is hung in the middle and wags at both ends. As a finale to the controversy it is claimed that the madame raised an axe and made for Hyde with the intention then and there of layin, him out in his own gore. He hurrie off and got Constable Fox, who returned with him, and another stormy session followed, but Madame Le Fleur was arrested for threatening to kill and she in turn preferred charges against Hyde for disturbing the peace. Her examina- tion was had yesterday before Justice Schurz and resulted in her discharge, the evidence showing that it was a dirty sort of a row for all concerned. THE NEW DYEWORKS. F. R. Hurlburt has opened, at No. 34 Pearl street, a steam dying and French cleaning works. Plumes and tips, velvets, silks, satins, gent's clothing, merchant's shelf worn goods, all made as good as new. | — City Council. The city council held a meeting last night and decided to invite Mr. Wil- liams, of Chicago, an engineer, to visit the city for the purpose of reporting a practical system of sewerage as suggested by the board of trade. the street to receive the paving, and to be assessed with the paving also, but the mere filling of the street, with no order for pavement, must be paid for out of the general fund, and could not he made a special tax on the adjacent prop- erty. The orders passed by the council directed that the streets shall be brought to grade ‘‘preparatory to being paved.” This he denounced as a cheat and a fraud, for there was no evidence that the cit; contemplated ever paving the streets this orde) fitted. There was no expecta- tion of ever paving many of these streets. There must be, in his opinion, an order for the street to be paved before the city could make the owners of the abutting property fill the street up to grade at their own expense. He cited numerous autheri- ties, and discussed some close questions of law, but this was the chief burden of the argument, City Attorney Mayne, on the other hand, agreed in the most part with the statement of law that the ordinary filling up of a street must be paid for out of the general fund, and that the only way to assess it up to the abutting property was when the paving was to be done, but he claimed that the papers in the case showed that the wnr{( was ‘‘preparatory to paving,” and the court could not infer that the city did not intend to pave. He claimed that the work could be done in sections, That the filling could be or- dered this year and the paving next year, and there was nothing in the case which showed but what the city had already entered into contract for having the streets paved. The case was closoly argued, and as many authorities were cited and many lesser "(uestions raised, the court will probably "be several days in reaching a decision, WOLVES BY THE WAYSIDE. A Grand Ohance for a Sportsmen and Hounds. Deputy Sheriff McFadden had occasion to go out in the country Tuesday to sub- peena some witnessos, and on his return lato at night he was somewhat surprised on reaching a place in the road near the Knott's farm, by the city limits, to have his horse suddenly stopand stand shaking with evident fear. McFadden himself soon had occasion to feel somewhat of tho same trembling, for there, a short distance in front of him, stood three lank, gaunt-looking wolves, He yelled at them, and they moved slowly to one side of the road, while he, thankful for this much consideration on their part, put the whip to his horse and lost no time in getting into the city, It is sug- gosted t there is an excellent chance for a wolf hunt, and as there are several good hounds in the city, and same crack shots who would delight in the sport, thoy should join in a wolf hunt, and rid tiié country “of the hungry trio, as from reports it appears that they have boen feasting off pigs, chickens, cte., to the great annoyance of the farmers in the outskirts of the town, e —— A LEAKY BOILER. That s Now the Cewse of Delay in the Electric Light, By this time the people of Council Bluffs must be pretty well satified that there is much delay in starting any sort of a public enterprise. The waterworks have been delayed by various obstacles, the new government building has been delayed, paving is still a watter of talk and planning, and the electrio light, which it was expected would start up last week, has met with its obstacles causing dolay. It was supposed that Alderman James presented a resolu- tion for paving Broadway from Third to Eleventh, also for paving Main street from Broadway to Sixteenth avenue, and Oakland avenue from the cemetery to Washington avenue. Adopted. A committee of the board of trade presented to the council two bills which they desire the coming legislature to pass. The first is for sewerage and the second for the issue of improvement bonas. Referred to appropriate com- mittees. Adjourned. The Brakeman's Weapon. A young man, who arrived last even- ing on a Northwestern train, got into an altercation at the depot with a brakeman, and, inthe fight fellowing, the young man received some bad wounds on the head. He claims that the brakeman struck him with a coupling pin. He was taken to the Metropolitan hotel and cared for. The cause of the trouble is unknown, The young man is very re- ticent about the affair, and no arrests have heen made, e —— Horsford's Acid Phosphate. For Overworked Professional Men.
