MINOR MENTION ' Chapman'’s benefit to- mght Seo J. Reiter’s spring goods. Additional local on seventh page. North Main street is wrongly named. 1t has no main. The city council begins its work o: equalization Thursday night. The board of trade will try again to get a quorum next Monday nighr, John Dunn's little girl is very ill with lung fever, but is thought to be gaining. W. W. Chapman’s connection with the rink ends with the benefit this evening. Bervices are being held daily at the Catholic church. High mass on Thurs- day. Bill Perry and Frod Mullen were given the usual dose yesterday for being drunk. All railroad tickets bought o! D. W. Bushnell are guaranteed, also all rebate orders given by him. The Missouri river was falling yoster- day, there having been a drop of three feet in twenty-four hours, George H. Moore and Philip Doyle were arrested yesterdsy afternoon for disturbing the peace while drunk. The benefit at the rink to-night promises to be a fine affair, tho skaters to appear in fancy dress costume. Justice Schurz yesterday married at his private parlors Poter Rasmussen to Hannah C. Peterson, both of this city. James Nicoll's old city bakery build- ing is being cleared away preparatory to being replaced with a fine new two-story brick, A. Rink and J. Clinch were arrested yesterday for clinching each other and having a fight. The case was settled in some peacemaking way. Roy Mayne, son of P. T. Mayne, is planning to open a feed and boarding stable, having leased James Goulden’s barn on Broadway. John Pendegrast and James Brown, two boys charged with testifying falsely ina vecent trial before Justice Schurz, were discharged yestorday. The basement of the Methodist church has been rented for school purposes by the board at $20 a month and Miss Ella Molntosh chosen as teacher. A young man was foolish enough the other day to buy some groceries and give in payment a fictitious check for §3.50, and now the officers are after him. The gamblers and prostitutes began coming in yesterday by invitation of the city authorities. The former gave up 854 each and the prostitutes $29 each, Permission to try it was yesterday given to Isaac Walters and Mary Hop- pington, both of Logan; also to Jens Olsen and Ave K. Havsen, both of Council Bluffa, J. P. Hulett has commenced action for a divorce from his wife, E. 0. Hulett, to whom he was married 1n 1856, He claims she deserted him ten years ago, and doesn't come back., Walter, the adopted child of Mrs, E, Wiley, died suddenly Monday ‘evening. He appeared as well as usual until about 4 o'clock, when he was taken with con- vulsions and soon died. The board of trade seems dying of in. exortion. One reason is that its meet. ings are held on the same evening as the regular coancil meeting, and the alder- manic show draws best, G. H, Sicker and G. O, Brown are the committee on invitations for the benefit to-nigh t, and those who intend to parti- cipate can procure of them. Spectators need not procure invitations, The monéy order department of the postoflice will hereafter be open from 8:30 & m. to 4:30 p. n. except on Wlduldayud Baturday evenings when it will be'open. until 8 o'clock, Some of . the' new goods with which Thos. N. Bray is to open’ up ‘here began arriving yesterday, Wi Hollings- worth, from Des. Moines, will be in mummu» uhbluh- hfi-wdfldmn. Redpath and others the jury found for the plaintiff and held that M, A. Moore, the contractor who sublet to Redpath, was liablo for the unpaid wages, having guaranteed thewm, Moore takes an appeal.’ The presence of the city enginecr at council meetings is much needed, and thinking that perhaps his, absence has been due to the lack of au invitation, _the aldermen have issued s formal one in the way of & resolution, A.

W. Spetman the other day met a man on the street wearing an overcoat which had been stolen from him a year ago Inst winter, The man explained that he had bought it of a tramp for &5, and had been wearing it ever since, and set- tled the matter as best he could. Tho “missing link” is to bo supplied, the city having let to J. B, Smith & Co, the contract for paving that portion of Washington avenue between the north end of Main street and Oakland vvenue, thus making a continuous line of paving from the Rock Tsland depot to the ceme- tery, a distance of about two miles, The city, in scttling with its laborers, ays $1.60 a day cash, or $1.75 in gen- oral fund warrants. The city thus ad- mita through its council tha: general fund warrants aro only worth about 85 cents, whereas they are selling from 95 to 97 cents, It doesn't seem business-like for a city to run down its own paper. The Y. M. C. A.has hit upon a happy socheme by its Tuesday evening entertainments. These gatherings have been growing in attendance and interest. Short essays and addresses, debates, con- versations, recitations, jokes, etc.,, make up the programmes, and those who at- tend seem greatly intorested and highly entertained. 1t don't seem to make much difference with the Union Pacific whether the street cars connect with its dummy trains or not. Krequently passengers wait and wait after the arrival of the dummy train for a car to go up town, and then wade up. Perhaps when it gets dry enough so folks can walk as well as not, the cars will run all right. 1t was & hard day yesterday for the county board of supervisors, They had t0 listen all day to petitioners and wit- nessos on road matters, and especially about some road in Knox township in which the neighbors all seemed greatly concerned, and divided in opinion. The board got no chance to do any other business. Tt scomed cheoky, but probably the deep mud in the streets served as an ex- | cuse for the man who drove up c¢nto the sidewalk in front of tho postoflie yester- day, frightening several ladies. drove off between the telegraph pole on the corner of First avenue and the build- ings, and walked his team along the side- walk lest he should lose them in the mud, William Engle believes in petitions, At its last meeting of its couneil, he pre- sented four, one for $160 damages of property by change of grade, one for a crossing at the corner of Main street and Tenth Avenne, one for city warrants to take its place of a certificate of assess- ment for atreet filling issued to Redpath for §700, and one for $1,600 damages, becauso the 0. B. & Q. had a track and run trains in front of his residence on Eleventh Avenue, The city ocouncil has rescinded the re- solution notifying the Union Pacifio that | Ci ita sight to occupy Union avenue would be taken away unless it ran its trains as agreed upon., What assurance has the ocounoll received to notify the rescinding of this resolution, Simply the promise of the Union Pacific to do something when the weather permits. It has had that promise for about a year past, and there seems as little prospect of its being kopt this season as last season, It is now predicted that the additional appropriation of $100,000 for the new government building here will be secured. It has already been reported upon favora- bly by the committee, and a telegram yesterday from Congressman Pusey to Col. Keatloy : “The house by a two-thirds mujority fixed Wednesday, the Oth, to continue from day to day, until all bills for publie buildings are dis- posed of, This insures the passage of all pending bills by a majority vote,” The ladies who aro interested in decor- ations, and all who have any love for the beautiful, should drop into George R, Beard's and ask him to show up those samples of ‘“‘Lincrusta Walton,” received by him yesterday. This is the first ever received here, and are indeed wonderful, They are used for decorating walls, ceil- ings, ete., and appear likethe finest cary- ing, the designs standing out in bold re- lief, and can be finished to suit the taste of the decorator, and are very handsome as they are. It makes the richest wall paper look down in the mouth, and while fow can afford to decorate’'a whole house with it, yet it costs nothing to look at and admire, as Beard is glad and even proud to show it, and well may he, for it i & curiosity, as well as a thing of beauty in this market. Drop in and look at it The aldermanic fathers do not seem very enthusiastic about Council Bluffs being reprosented at the firemen’s tour- nament in Des Moines, These tourna- xaces in which men run instead of horses. A running team has been or. ganized here and named after the mayor, and under the rules has to be recognized by the city at least sixty days before the tournament or they will not be allowedto enter. The council has refused to recog- nize them even as a volunteer company without expense to the city, the excuse being that they want to investigate the mattor a little further, the department could be changed, then professional runners could be engaged in regular service and draw pay from the city while training for the tournament. As that cannot bo done, the next best thing is to get *‘recognized,” e ——e o Foster, florist, on Harrison street the uncil Bluffs, has th He [ ments are geiting to be largely mere | will If the chief of |+~ HARD TO DIE. Pottawattamies Have a Hard Time Killing a Wolf, Frank Drake and Ed Bates, two of Oakland's Nimrods, were proud as lords when they returned home tho other day, having with them aa the result of their hunt forty-two ducks and a prairie wolf The wolf was enough of a capture of olf, but thoy created increased interest by narrating quite an adventure conneot- od therewith, which is thus given by the Acorn man; The wolf was chasing a flock of ducks and the boys were secreted in the tall gross which lines the creck, waiting for a shot. Whon they espied the shaggy monster they lot drive at him with a double-barrelad broadside, knooking him into the creck. The small duck shot Two made for the opposite bank. As he crawled out of the water they gave another charge and he tumbled back in- to the river and began swimming down stream. The boys then got into their boat and started in pursuit, firing several rounds before downing their game. Heo was hauled aboard and_placed in the gunwale, Bat Mr. Wolf geemed to be possessed of nine lives,and again came to the front, showing a row of ivories that were anything but pleasant to the hunters, One of the bravest took him by the nape of the neck and held him under the water until he was dead—or supposed to be. But again his wolfship got upon his hind legs and howled for vengeance, when a pocket knifo was pro- duced and his jugular vein severed, whereupon he gave up the ghost and the boys came home with flf’i"“ colors and feeling prouder than if they had captured a white elephant, This is the story as narrated by the hunters, and we have no doubt it is truo, at any rato the boys have in their possession the wolf's carcass to verify the truthfulness of the same. e — All the latest novelties in Spring Hats can be seen at L.
