MINOR MENTION, See Joseph Reiter's fall goods. | Additional local on seventh page. Cheap Railroad Tickets at Bushnell's, J. H. Jones, of Audubon, was at the Pacific yesterday. The public schools reopen to-day after a holiday vacation. P. Coylo, of Honey Creek, was in the city yesterday and took a plate at the Ogden. Council Bluffs has during the past year made about 81,500,000 of improve- ments, Mr. and Mrs, Samuel Haas entertained alarge gathering of friends at their resi- dence New Year's eve. Herman Martin hae about completed his new brick block at the corner of Pearl and Fifth avenue. About a thousand new residences went up in Council Bluffs last year, and there are no vacant houses to rent. Most of the business houses observed yesterday as a holiday, closing their places for at least half the day. Council Bluffs lodge No. 49, 1.0.0.F., is to hold a public installation of officers on Thursday evening of next week. Ferguson & Son, of the Pacific, made a speoial spread yesterday, and their bills of fare were on elegantly engraved cards, The ladies of the Baptist church give a sociable Thursday evening at the resi- dence of Mrs. Barnard at 728 Mynster street. ; One New Year's drunk, who had shat- tered his good resolutions, was picked up by the police yesterday, and was too far gone to tell his name. Mr, Bechtele has provided his Euro- pean hotel with excellent samplo rooms for the commercial tourists, who want while stopping there to show their goods to customers. New Year's day opened up nice and cool. At 7 o'clock a. m. the thermome- ter stood at ten degrees below. At 10 oclock a. m. at six degrees below, and at noon one degree above. Mark Duryee, the manager of the Og- den House, yesterday had some unique bills of fare for the New Year's dinner. They were firinud on postal cards, with a ‘‘Happy New Year” and the advice in closing “Swear Off.” The piano recital to be given by Miss Neally Stevens next Tuesday ovening Ppromises to be a great musical event for Council Bluffs, and her many friends here will gladly improve this opportunity of hearing so accomplished a young artist. Some sneak-thief yesterday stole an overcoat from the Creston house; the garment belonging to a guest who was at dinner at the time. Later in the day the coat was found in a secondhand store where it had been sold for $2. Yesterday afternoon there was a pleas- ant wedding affair at the residence of Na- than Weston, about three miles south of the city, the bride being his daughter, Misn Fannio A Weston, who was. given in marrisge to Mr. Elmer E. Nichols, Rev. J. G. Lemen officiating, Frank Friner, who was arrested for stealing blankets from Mr. Sealey, and 'W. E. Sims, who stole some articles trom Mr. Cole's stable, have been sent to jail for thirty days each. That was about what they wanted, they evidently being anxious to get out of the cold, A company of the employesand friends of Chris. Straub, the contractor, called upon him Now Year's eve, and headed by Mr, Max Mohn, presented Mr, Straub with the slickest kind of a silk hat. The resentation was mado the Creston ouse, and then all adjourned to the Miennerchor hall, A number of persons celebrated the incoming of the new year by firing off revolvers in the stroet. Just what sig- nificance there can be in this it is hard to determine, unless it be that the shoot- ers were 8o far dazed over their swear- ings off as to want to make the dying year die more quickly. The Mienuerchor ball on New Year's eve was not as largely attended as usual on sush occasions, partly on account of the cold, blustering night, and partly be- cause some expected that invitations would be 1ssued as on former occasi which was not done. Those who did attend, however, enjoyed it hugely, The annual uerade of the society takes place in February, At a New Year's dance glven by the 'was started and the razors pulled. There was an exciting melee for a fow minutes, but thus far only one wounded is report. i3 : ] ) i g flowed freely, but which did not prove to be very serious, The police are investi- gating the matter, and some arresis will probably follow, Rev. J. G, Lemen has accepted an - vitation to deliver the series of scien- tific lectures, lately given here, at Pella, Towa, the first of the course to be given next Friday evening, Pella is the seat of the strongest Baptist educational institu. tion in the state, aud these lectures are to be :lun before the university and there, the leaders in which be. lieving that they will not only prove en- h‘dnh’ and instructive, but will pave the way for a further awakening of christ- ian thought and sctivity, ‘The Bachelor's club watched the old year cut and the new one in at Baker's gallery. There were about fiftyin at- THE DAILY BEE«-COUNCIL BLUFFS,, WEDNESDAY, JANUARY 2, 1884, There wers, tableaux, refreshments and chit-cha'ting, and all in all a very morry time ‘segulted. As the clock struck the kn.all of the old year and announced the sirth of the new, a very appropriate tab- leaux was being given, “The Death of the Old Year.” Tho Bachelor's club is always planning some happy social doings, and despite the n]upnhmiun of the organization they scem to find the ladies requisite. Many evidently intend to start in the new year right, and an unusual number of marriago liconses havo boen therefore issued, among them the following: Orange A. Penn and Joseph 1. Colvin, both of Neola; Samuel Hodder and Hattio 8. Lee, bothof Avoca; Charles Young and Sarah Bay, of Honey Creek; Walter Rutherford and Della C. Sher: wood, of Weston; Sol Foster and Flora Groen, both of this city; H. C. Conn, of Omaha and Jessie Hardenburg, of Lewis township. There was a large gathering of friends last evening to witness the marriage of Mr. Joseph J. Maurath to Miss Ada G. Rich. The ceremony was performed by Rev. J. G. Lemen, # the home of the ~ tendauce, ladies belng iuvited to add to| "% [ e sopial enjoyment of the ocoasion;] bride's parents, and as both of the con. tracting parties are well known here, and have many friends, the event was one of more than ordinary social interest. Mr. Maurath is connected with Z. T. Lindsey & Co., and is a young man of much busi- ness ability and enterprise, while the one he has now will surely prove a most worthy wife. Congratulations are there- fore hearty, and well wishes numerous. PEPPERING THE JallER. A Bold Dash o Conviets Who Wanted Prosh it Strong Muscle, a P! Woman and a Few Bulletas Stop Them, There aro in the jail several hard cases who having been caught, convicted and sentenced to various termsin the peniten- tiary are very reluctant about going there. They formed n conspiracy st Sunday night for effecting an escape. They got one of the heavy iron cell doors off its hinges, and were to use this as a battering ram to knock down other doors, Their scheme was to make a break as the jailor opened the door to pass in their suppers, and armed with the cell door they could easily batter in the wooden door at the side of the entrance, which would lead into the jailer's apartments, by running through which they could easily gain the outside, For some reason the plan was not put into operation until New Year's eve, The young Lloyd, who has been sef tenced for forgery, seemed the chiof acter. Ho had emptied the pepper box which had been sent in with food at a previous menl, and as the jailer opened the door with the food he stood nea by, Tho two persons_whose duty it was to tako the food and distribute it were also standing there, and Jailer Schontz or- dered Lloyd to step back.

Police Pickings. The following is the report of Chief Field, showing the number of arrests made in December and the various of- fenses charged: Drunk. . . Disturbing the peace. Larceny Lewdness . Assault and battory Forgery Insane . 5 Malicious ats Tnmates of houses of prostitution Burglary TR h Suspicions charactors Cruelty to anfmals, Vagrancy . Robbery 00t One would think from the report that there were no gamblers in the city, but few prostitutes and scarcely any vagrants, but all ens know that gambling places are running more open than the police station, while prostitutes and va- grants are numerous. It is probably mere nonsense to suppose that vice can be suppressed in any city of this size, but it is a fact that in Council Blufls there is no sort of attempt now to check or rogu- Iate these places. In no city, even in the wild west, are gambling houses and houses of ill-fame run so openly. ° It is about time the annual spasm scized the city government, and it might be hoped for were it not nearing another city elec- tion, and local politicians are fearing to offend. ¥ e ——— Tt is tho exception rather than the rule that promises in reference to the delivery of job grin ng are kept. But at Pryor’s Bee job oftice, 7 Pearl street, all prom- ises will be fultilled. e — The Last and First. The last day of 1883 was busily occu- pied by Justice Vaugh, all day and up to near eleven o’clock at night, with argu- ments by attorneys N. M. Pusey and John Lindt, in an attachment case, and the justice had hardly taken his rest on the first day ot January, 1884, when a double marriage was performed by him, as follows: Charley Young to Dora Bay. Mr. Young is a substantial farmer, of this county, and his bride is from Honey Creek. The second marriage was of Wm, F, Chapman to Nellie V. Co verse, both of Omaha, Neb. They were accompanied by Ex-Justice Dunkle, formerly of Crescent, this county. ——— Go to Hurlburt s fancy steam dyeing and French dry cleaning works at 34 Pear] street. - —— PERSONAL, D, 8.

Palmer, New Opera House, e — TAPPED A TILL, The Ogden House Baris Visited by Burglars, BSoon after the ushering in of the new year thieves made & raid on the Ogden house bar, gaining an entrance by a rear window leading into the store room and then into the bar room, They contented themselves with taking the contents of the till, about $4, about fifty-five im- ted cigars and a few bottles of whisky ~—enough to celebrate the No ¢l to the thieves has been fo friends, Ho s looking well, and there is as | 6 00. doing #o he made a dash for the door, and as he reached it threw a handful of pepper in Jailer Schontz's face, evidently hoping to blind him while he crowded by. In the meantime a number of other prisoners rushed for the door, and in a body pushed with all their might, intend- ing to force it further open, enough to oass out, but Schonts resisted with all is strength and’ succeeded in hold- ing them at bay. His wife, who is about as plucky as he, was standing by the outer door, which was closed and locked, and she got the revolvers and passed one to Schontz, The prisoners rotreated as Schontz fired two shots, although he did not attempt to wound_them, they feared the worst and hurriedly slunk into the corners and got out of the way of the flying bullets. By this time help had been sent for and a number of citizens rushed in and the trouble was over. Yesterday the prisoners concerned in the attempt to break out of jai were put into their cells, by them- selves, instead of being allowed the liberty of the large room during the day. They were also put on rations of bread and water and spent most of New Year’s day in howling and making themselves and others as uncomfortablo as possible. Later in the day young Lloyd claimed to bo very sick, and a physician was sent for to attend him. Although a mere boy he is a hard one. His real name is sup- posed to be Bynon, and he came from Salt Lake, where he has run quite a ca- reer despito tho efforts of very respecta- ble relatives to stay him. L —— A Fair Light, Rev.
