The Date of It Opening at Last De- cided Upon, A Citizens' Meeting to Hurry Up Ticket Sales, The query as to when and how thenew opera house is to bo opened is at last an- swored. Thursday, January 17, has been settled upon as the date, and the Chicago Church Choir company is to give thofirst entertainment. , This will be glad news to the many citizens who have been ab- staining from indulging in public enter- tainmenta because of thé city affordingno suitable place for a first-class company to appear. Tho new opera house will bear favorable comparison with that in any western city, and there scems*no reason why Council Bluffs, in the future, should not have the best entertainments and well patronized. Saturday night, in response to a call for a citizens' meeting in Dohany’s hall, a number gathered there. The purpose was to talk over ways and means for dis- posing of the remainder of the ticketsfor the opening night. the opera house project the citizens, to help the enterprise along, contributed for the purchase of the ground, and it was understood that 1, tickets at §6 each would bo taken for the opening night.

Ahles and W. R. Vaughan be added to the committee, and if this was not enough the committee could add others. On motion of Mr. Ahles it was decided that the name of purchasers of tickets and contributors should be published from time to time. —— PERSONAL, Mr. N. W, Williams and his sister, Mrs. W.

The ¥Flames Lap Up a Goodly Amount of Them in Empe's Store. The drug store of I. N. Empie on Upper Broadway was badly damaged by fire Saturday morning. The flames were discovered about b o'clock, the fire origi- nating in the corner of the store room where were kept whiskey, oil, gasoline, eto. 1t spread rapidly, and had already got through into the second floor before it was discovered by tho sleepers up stairs. The attempt to turn in fire alarms showed tho rocklessness of the city government in depending upon such afaulty and uareliable system. Two boxes were tried, and as they failed, a messenger went to the engine house and | 7 thus an alarm was given. Despite the delay the boys got at work in good shape and succeeded in squelching the hot blaze. The loss on the stock will reach about 3,600, om which Mr. Empie has an insurance of $2,500 in companies rep- resented by Marshall Key. Thoe origin of the fire is a great mystery. There was no fire in the store, and the store was some distance from where the fire start- ed. The night before some young men assing the store noticed a smell of burn- ing oil, and aroused Mr. Empie, who sleeps upstairs. Mr. Empie made a care- ful examination and could discover noth- ing, and so went back to bead. It was cold work for the fire lads and ears, fingers and noses were nipped, but when the work was over, Mrs. Eph Huntington and Taylor Woolsey served up to tho boys hot coffee and other good things to warm them up, making them feel that there are those who appreciate to some extent what it isto work at a fire. e — COMMERCIAL, COUNCIL BLUFFS MARKET, ‘Wheat—No. 2 spring, 70¢; No, 8, 60c; re- jected, 60c; good demand.
