The lecture to be given Friday evening at Broadway Methodist church by the pastor, Rov. J, Z. Armstrong, is for his own benefit.

Both sides were dissatisfied, and the case is now te go to the superior court. No ono can complain that there is not enough forco of water at the drinking hydrants, In turning the faucet one needs bo almost as careful as in handling a gun, for it goes off whon least expected and douses the drinker complotely. The othor day Mr. A. W. Stroot got a war- rant at the anditor's office for the amount in the library fund, ho boing one of the trustees. Stepping to the hydrant with the warrant in his hand to get a drink,he was surprised to have a stream thrown all over him,and the warrant was so drenched that it nearly annihilated the public library fund, tho warrant being made illegiblo. Whero is the mayor’s offico? That is a hard question to answer., Most cities— first-class cities—have such a place, but Council Bluffs has simply a dosk sqoezed up in one corner of the city clerk’s office. The mayor tried to occupy it yestorday, and his comferences with callers were first broken into by a brace of soiled doves who wanted to pay their fines, and then a swarthy ono appeared. A peddler broko in mext, and then some other equally annoying caller, who wanted somothing or other of somebody else.

Gus § ert will Recover from His Gunshot Wonnde—Other Items Gleaned for The Bee, Correspondence of Tre B OartaNn, la, March 24,—Quite serious accident happened in our usually quiot village last Satnrday afternoon, and caused great oxcitement and anxiety among our citizens for a few hours. The = cause of the excitement was the accident- al shooting of Gus Beiffert by Elmer Freoman. They were out duck hunting, and when about one-half mile from town Seiffert was walking about two rods in advance of Freoman, when Freeman's gun went off, the whole charge striking Seiffert in the lower extremity of the back, falling him to the ground. In a few moments word was brought to town and a toam at once dispatched after the unfortunate man. The wound was drossed by Drs, McConnaughey, Stewart and Bucler. It was found that about 160 No. 4 shot had entered the body. Although the wound is a serious one, the chances are favorable for a recovery. Mr, Seiffert is the proprietor of the lum- ber yard here, and nephew of Hon. Mr. Seiffert, of Avoca, and cne of the best business men in Oakland, Late in the afternoon of the same day word was brought to town that the house of James Humburt was on fire. Mr. Humburt lives a short distance from town on the Carson road. By the timely effort of a fow the house was saved after it had been damaged about $100, which was fully insured. The funeral of Frank Rudolf took place on Friday aftornoon, the service boing conducted by Rev. Thompson. John Norton, of the firm of Norton & Bryant, has been very sick, but is im- proving. ; Rev. D. C. Morris has been sick for the past week. A telegram was received here on Sat- urday that Thomas Collison, a former citizen Oakland, was very low and re- questing friends to come at once. Charley Norton, of Avoca, was in town ovor Sunday. T, T — A FAIR AFFAIR, The Lucky Ones at Weston and the Fair a Big Success Financially. Westox, Towa, March 23,—The Cath- olic fair here passed off quietly and was a grand success considering the weather, mud and rain. The Currie band, from Underwood, furnished the music for the oceasion. Your humble correspondent held ten tickets in the fair, but it was like the Dutchman’s *‘nix come rouse.” The lucky parties in the fair were as fol- lows: The Hon. Gi Holmes, of Council Bluffs, drew the H-year-old horse. Mr. Richmond, of Council Bluffs, was tho lucky man on the harness. Miss Nelly Kinney, of Hardin township, drow the Indy’s saddle.
