Cheap railroad tickets at Bushnell’s, Buya revolver of Cooper & McGee and make it warm for the burglars. An official inspector of wood and weigher of coal would be a pretty good thing for consumers, The sale of seats for the Lights of Lon don is the largest yet had for any enter- tainment in the new opera house. Mr. D. F. Hawkes, who was in the city the other day hunting for his missing son, has found the boy in Davenport. T. 8. Couch is having his lot corner of Sixth avenue and Eighth street filled up, and is making other important improve- ments to his property. The wood teams which are in the habit o standing on Bryant street, near Broad way, have proved such an obstruction to travel that they have been told to ‘‘move on.” Attempts have been made, but in vain, to burglarize the residences of 7. T. Lindsey and Mr, Olmstead. The fellows got frightened away by the awakening of members of the family. The thermometer got down in the mouth again yesterday, or down in the bulb, the mercury touching twenty-three below at daylight yesterday morning, and continuing rather low all day. One week from to-day is the last one of service for the February term of the circuit court. The docket is looking very meagre, and there is every indica- tion of an unusually light term. This will be the first appearance of Judge Ly- man on the bench in this city. There is now a nioe little oftice for the city weighmaster at the city building, and a set of scales, but where, oh, where is that official? Clerking in the postoftice, disgusted at the way the council has used him and the office to which he was elected by the people. Cuff Johnson, who has been wanted by the police for some time, was picked up yesterday at the Ogden house by Ofticers Clough and Cusick. Johnson is the col- ored fellow who was complained of for thumping his woman, and on being ar- rested at the time broke and run from Officer Beswick. A number of Red Oak parties were here yesterday to see about the case of one of their fellow townsmen who was arrested and brought before U. 8: Com- missioner Key on a charge of selling whisky. There was found to be no foundation for the charge, and the ac- cused went off happy with his friends. Mrs, A. Bryan, dressmaker. itting a specialty, 8. Main st., upstairs. An Awful Threat. It isn't the easiest thing in the world to be a justice of tho peace. The man who tries to deal out justice squarely and fairly is not even free from annoyance. As a sample of some of these annoyances which come in the form of anonymous letters from those who are soured by some decision against'them, is given the following: 3 “‘The wonder is if anybody has been ashamed yet he who will deside for truth isliable to bewaid in a balance and found wanton in the course of time votes will be precious articles and)the friends of the law will look to the same for strength and of coursa will get such. Annon we may laugh at their calamity and mock when there fear comoth. The numerous burglaries romind us that our doors and windows should be more securely fastened. Cooper & Mo- Gee have necessary implements, Call on them at 41 Main street. e — MAKING VAGRANTS, .The Mills Which Grind Out This Kind of Grist. —_— There was yesterday brought before the bar of the superior court a rather ordinary looking Teuton, charged with 'vagranoy, . He gave the name of John Botches, and pleaded not guilty. His ‘Thistory appears to be about as follow: He worked last summer on a farm, and, with the closing of the season, got paid _ off and came to this city to look for work for the winter. He got drawn into a gambling house and it - took every bit of ~ his $35 of savings to learn how the game went. Having wasted all his substance _he went to work at the waterworks, and, gotting paid off the other day, he sought 1o get back the money which he had lost w] board. Bill 't the § . " . ) THE DAILY BEE--COUNCIL BLiJFFS, FRAIDAY, JANUARY 25, 1884, THE USUAL SCORE. Barglars Cunfinn& 1l; Make Two or Three Visits Ech Night, The Unlon Pacific Twenty Dollare. Losos About The burglars and sneak thieves stifl seem to have it their own way in this _ | city, and each twenty,four hours there is one or more raids made, and yet the po- lice do not seem to catch any of the gang. On Wednesday night thers was an at- tewapt made at the house, No. 127 South Fourth street, occupied by A. B. Nicho- las and H. D. Harle. The fellows by the use of the jimmy or other tool suc- ceeded in forcing open the closed blinds, and attempted to raise the window, but a stick,over the window casing on the i side thwarted them, and in their attempt to got this out of the way they awakened some of the family, and of course they skipped out. The Broadway flag-house of the Union Pacific rond was visited by burglars in the evening. The “‘depot,” as it is som times called, was closed, as it often is between trains, and the thieves took ad- vantage of the agent's absence to force an entrance, getting about $20. It is to be expected, perhaps, that some of the pas- songers who have had to stand and shiver on the platform of the closed depot while waiting for the dummy train, will roll this news as a sweet mor- sel under their tongues, and feel that it served the company right. It may be a consolation for such to know that it cost . P. $20 for its habit of keeping passengers locked out in the cold, but still there has been so much of this sort of thieving lately that the public gener- ally gets freshly indignant at each new outbreak, or rather, inbreak. How long 1t is to be kept up, the thieves and the police only know. GREETED BY A REVOLVER. One Nocturnal Visitor Fin Loaded Revolver I'ut Under His Nose, W. 8. Cooper, of the Main street hard- ware firm of Cooper & McGee, has been 86 aroused by the numerous reports of burglaries, that he goes ‘‘primed and loaded for bear.” Of late he has been deprived of much sleep by the severs ill- ness of his child, over whom he has watched tenderly night following upon night. At alate hour the other night, while setting in an easy chair and nod- ding a little he was aroused by hearing gome one at the front door, and his vei: tingling with the oxpectation of a burg- larious visit he seized his side-arms, and as noiselessly as possible slid to the front door. The door was not locked, but very well protected with weather strips, opened a little hard. Sure enough, some one was quietly but firmly pushing it open. As the strange visitor pushed open the door far enough to enter, Mr. Cooper cocked his revolver and at first glimpse of the man’s face shoved the re- volver under the stranger’s nose. The latter naturally jumped back, and as he did so Mr. Cooj ized in the pal- i s partner, Mr, MoGee—anything buta burglar. Expla- nations followed as fast as the breathless reaction of the incident permitted. Mr. McGee had been down to the opera house to an entertainment, and before goin, home thought he had better step aroun to Mr. Cooper’s house and find out how the child was, Not wishing to arouse other members of the family he thought he would alip in quietly and inquire of the “rtinnt watcher, whom he knew he would find on duty. The recollection of looking down the mouth of that revolver has almost cured him of his delicacy about arousing a whole family when he wanis to make a kindly call, while his partner has also taken a fresh vow to be sure he is right before going ahead with his burglar-shooting. PROFIT FOR SOMEBODY, Some Queries as to the Prices Paid for Dirt Hauling. The perplexities attending the bring- ing of streets up to grade are many, and pending the settlement of the vexatious legal questions involved there is a fever- ish sort of uncertainty among property owners and contractors, This may ac- count for some of the contractors charg- ing extra prices. One instance will suf- fice: One property owner, who owns corner lots informed Tue BEE man yes- terday that the contractor who is to fill the street on one side of his property has got the contract for 22 cents a yard, and has arranged to get the certificates cashed at 20 cents. Another man has the con- tract for filling the other stroot, an oasier haul of the two, and the council has given him the contract at 20 centsa yard. The property owner believing that the city and not himself will eventually have to pay for this street- filling, does not feel disposed to take any personal part in the street work, but he has contracted for having his lots filled 8t 18 cents a yard. There appears then a difference of eight cents on the same class of work, the private individual con. tracting for 18 cents, i 4 S W s o gl ey, foe 98 additional profit? If these figures hold on work ughout the city, and they -m to, it amounts to several hundred d a day profit for some- body! The teamsters complain that, 4 man, team, and wagon can only oarn about $1.90 a day, even less than when the city was &:ymg less for dirt. R ot aeaet, T o o isddtaiidad perty owner out of later pay these certifiostes, face and in- terest. If contractors can haul dirt at 18 cents and make a profit, somebody, " Will those t will the contractors—in lmtm' There " | appears from this tical illustratior drfluwuo! w-’.:fwm Wp::on.l een cash and certificates of wesess- ts this 40 or sop.‘: at once, for the property owners of Coun- cil Bluffs, either individually or collect- ively, have got finally to pay this extra amount.

Rehse. Studio No. 12 N. Main wireet, b COMPULSORY EDUCATION. The Council Bluffs Board of Educa- tion Believes in It, The showing of the attendance of pu- pils upon the puplic schools of the city is such as to attract even the attention of the present board of education, and they, are impressed with the idea that some- thing must be done to secure more regu- larity. The abstract of the monthly statistical report of the teachers for the month of December shows the number of pupils enrolled from the beginning of the school year, 2,356; number of pupils in attendance during the school month, 2,009; average daily attendance of boys, 876; of girls, 917, making a total average attendance of 1,792, out of an enrollment of 2,366, The average per cent. of mem- bership was 91, the number of days ab- nence 3,271, and the number of pupils neither absent or tardy only 522, At the last meoting of the board, Mr. Atkins offered the following, which was unanimously adopted: Wiereas, The pl{ing of school taxes is made compulsory by law, and the at- tendance of pupils is left a matter of plessure or convenience; and Waereas, The superintendent’s report for October shows that 2,125 pupils were enrolled and that 1,780 was the average attendance, and that only 414 actually attended as contemplated; and ‘Wueneas, The amount paid for teach- ers, janitors and fuel for October was $3,345, which amount provided fully for all the pupils enrolled, thus uselessly ex- Eending a large sum of money for the enefit of those who demand and need it, but who indifferently accept it; there- fore, beit Resolved, By the school board of thein- dependent school rict of Council Bluffs, Tows, that we respectfuliy peti- tion the honorable senate and house of ropresentatives of the state of lowa to pass a table law making the attend- ance upon our public schools compulsery. Resolved, That we ask all school boards throughout the state to give an expression of their views of the matter, and further we ask the papers in the state to publish the foregoing — Prof, A, Berns proprietor of the Great European College of Anatomy, now on exhibition at 317 Broadway, is expected to arrive to-day on his return from an extended European trip, where he has been purchasing a great many life sized anatomical figures, alarge num- ber of life-sized anatomical wax hgures, which he will plase on exhibition in this city for the first time in America, T Real Estate Transfors, e RUBBERS!
