Music The Bluffs house which was burned a fow months ago is being rebuilt by Peter Bastin. John Beno is fitting up the hall in his block very nicely, decorating and fresco ing it very attractively. Thero is much sportat the driving park every morning now, there being many fast stoppers spoeding there, The Congrogationalists had a pleasant social last evening at the residence of F. J. Evans, on Oakdale avenue. Kirkland, tho jeweler, is removing into Lee Mitchell's old place, No. 314 Brondway. The interior is fitted up nicely, Complaint is made that Sixth strect bridge is being used as a carpot-cleaning establishment, and that horses aro fright- ened in crossing by the carpet-beating. The 50 reward offered the finder of sorrow they may be able to catch some glimpse of the silver lining. Among the many who have hearttelt sympathy for Clark ir his trouble, he will find none foeling more tender than his fellow news- gatherers, some of whom know what it is at times to try to meet the daily demands of a reading public while the heart is heavy with their burdens and the hand weary with other duties. May sympathy give the stricken ones higher hopes and sorrow greater strength, The young man Hearn was taken to Omaha yesterday to answer the charge of watch and chain from He was caught on by Officer Austin who noticed stealing a gold Minnie Ferguson, this side him carrying the watch in his coat-sleeve, and Austin having his suspicions aroused, had the good sense to nab him, It was afterward discovered to whom the watch belonged, and he will now have to stand trial, Lee Bennett, the happy presiding genius of Hall's news-stand and cigar case in the Pacific house, is among the latest victims of sneak thieves, some one having got away with his privato till in which the boy had $1.65. The letter carriers aro getting up city diroctories of their own, each carrier be ing provided with a book in which he puts down the name of everybody in his district, #o as to facilitate the delivery and increase the acouracy. J. C. Mitchell, thoe ticket agent of the Wabash, yestorday put on salo, for the firat time here, Missouri Pacific tickets, the buyers of which are carried across the U. P. bridge without charge, . Ex-Officer James Brooks has now got a carriage with which to sorve the public. He makes his headquarters at Patton’s stable, and all orders left there will be promptly attended to. Alderman Keating is preparing to lay a new sidewalk tn front of his Broadway property, the walk to be of a new sort of tile, received from St. Louis. Dandy Dunn’s $1,900 pocket book, has been won by his own child, who found the missing property lying in the yard, nesr Dunn’s own front gate. ““There is a life beyond and man can can know it.” Spiritual circle to-morrow (Sunday) afternoon and evening, in Spir- itnal hall at 2 and 7:30 o'clock. En- trance on Main and Pearl street stairs, two dooes south of post office. The concert given by the Bavarian band In Bayliss park proved very enjoy- able, and drew quite a crowd to the park. Tt is hoped some Jpermanent satisfactory arrangements may be made by which the band can be secured for regular weekly concerts there. The annual bluster about trimming of shade trees, removing dry goods boxes and other obstructions from sidewalks, pulling in street signs, etc., has begun. The marshal is expected to make a little flurry about these things at this time of year, but it is not expected to last more than thirty da; R. J. Redpath, of this city, has the contract for building the new opera house at Walout, and work has already com- menced. ‘It is to cost §2,850, including the fnrnishing. The building is to be first occupied as a skating rink, having been leased by J. C. Spangler. The building is to be done July 15, or sooner. An adjourned meeting of the working. men is to be held next Tuesday evening at the court house, for the purpose of more thoroughly and permanently organ- izing. 1t seems the intention of the workingmen to organize n such shape that certain of their number shall keep a sharp lookout on matters of city concern, and when they deem necessary call a meeting. There are a number of im- portant matters which need looking after and not only will the meeting next Tues day evening be an interesting one, but |: the future action of the workingmen will be watched with eagerness A terrible report comes from Galland’s Grove to the following effect: It is sald that a young man, only twenty years of age, by the name of Culver, was out rid- ing with a young lady whose name we have not learned. At a certain place in the grove he drew his revolver, leveled it at her head and compelled her to descend from the buggy at the peril of her life, Having accomplished his villainous pur. pose he compelled her to get into the buggy with him, He then drove until he arrived at a neighbor's house, when the young lady jumped from the buggy and appealed for protection, He again leveled his revolver at her and swore he would kill any one who dared protect her. He is now under arrest, but fur- taer particulars we have mnot reccived, Mr, L. Swain, who recently returned from Grove township, relates the above. It is certainly a terrible exhibit of im- morality, and we sincerely hope it is not as bad as this first report would indicate. —Harlan Tribune, Little Gracie Estella Clark, daughter of C. S.and Ella Clark, died yesterday morning at 6:40; aged just seven months The funeral will be Sunday afternoon at two o'clock at the residence corner of Mynster and Scott streets. This simple announcement ot the death of so young a babe may mean but little to the general reading public, but it meansa crushing weight of sorrow to poor Clark and his wife, and in this community where both are 80 well known it will call forth the tenderest sympathy. Little Gracie was born on election day, and little Rush, the boy, died on election day just one year before, In little Rush their hopes seem- od 80 centered, and their affections clung to him so closely, that his taking away almost took the life of the parents. With the coming of little Gracie fresh hopes sprang up in place of those tram- pled out, and it began to seem that the sun was shining again, when now the BCulnmlnue on membership- darkness comes on denser than ever, It is to be hopod that in this socond grest The grass in the Bayliss’ park has now got such a atart that the benches can now be put out under the trees.

W, LaiNa, e —— Death of Jeremiah Folsom, The news of the sudden death of Jere- miah Felsom went through this commun- ity like a suddon shock yesterday. Mr. Falsom was aroundfon Thursday as usu- al, but at nlght was taken slightly 1ll, and by 10 o'clock in the morning death had come, before the friends realized that his condition was really dangerous, Folsom was upwards of sixty-seven yoars of age, had lived hero for thirty years. Ho was a native of Now Hamp- shire, but in early manhood moved to Michigan, During his residence here he has been engaged in mercantile business, farming, ltuuL raising and roal estate. He owned a large amount of property. A case involving above $100,000 worth of Valley. Aprii 26 he wrote the firm {rom there that he had had bad luck, and had oither lost the money or had his pockets picked. He asked that his mail be for- warded to Sioux Falls,jDakota, and said that he had to borrow five dollars to go ahead with. This last action aroused suspicion, and an investigation proved that he had not been doing his usual work on the road and his sample trunk was disccvered at the Northwestern depot in this city. It had been checked from Missouri Junc- tion and arrived here April 26, on train 52, check numbered 12,0 Delivery by check wasat once forbidden, and yet it remains in the baggage room. It afterwards came to light that Eppstein had pawned the check with Cheney Bros., proprietors of the Cheney hotel, of Mis- souri Valley, to secure a debt of 810, Having lost his samples he went on, and on Sunday the following was received from him: “You will find the check for the trunk at Cheeney’s hotel, Missouri Valley. The trunk is either in Des Moines or Missouri Valley. The check at Che- neys.” The check is No. 12 055. I have disgraced myself. Will write to you from St. Louis as soon as 1 get there.” Nothing has been heard from him since. He will not be prosecuted unless he comes back. Cards, wine and women are to blame for his downfall.

A Little Spurt Toward Enforcing the Bow-Wow-Wow Ordinance, Now that the mayor has issued a pro- clamation and the council hes passed an ordinance, and a pound has been built, an attempt is being mado to enforco the boycotting of dogs. The new ordinance in one respect is a strong one. 1t makes it unlawful for any dog to run_at large at any time without being muzzled, “‘nor at any other time of the year,” 'I'his ought to corner most of the time, Another section provides that “it is the duty of the mayor at any time to issue his proclamation directing the owners of dogs to confine or muzzle their dogs for such time as he thinks proper, and any of the canine specie found run- ning at large without being 80 muzzled during the time named in the proclama- tion shall be killed, whether the dog has boen registored and foos paid, or notify H.H.

CoNGLL SL0ES IUWA Al Orderl by Mail Promptly Attended N etcalf Bros., WHOLESALE DEALERS IN the owner or owners.” This section es- ecially as regards notification of owners, ity peculiar clearness which charac- terizes thelegislation of thepresent|council, The ordinance provides that a liconse of $1,25 must be paid on each male dog, and $2 50 on each female dog, and the metallic check fastened on the neck of the animal, and the marshal is instructed to impound all dogs found rnnnm;i at large without such a check. A rack or cage, fitted onto an express wagon has boen preprred and is now going the rounds with expert dogcatchers, who, by deftly throwing a wire about the neck of the unsuspecting canine, lasso him, throw him into the cage and cart him off to the pound, Here the dogs are kept for two days. If an owner desires to redeom his dog, he must pay not only for the needed license, but _also pay the marshal’s fecs, and for feeding the dog. If not redeemed the dogs on the third duy are offered for sale; unless receiving a bid equal to the amount due on the dog, the slaughter commences. Not only does a penalty hang over the dog but also the owner, for any owner neglecting or refusing to pay the license is Jiable to a fine not to exceed §20. Any person who has a fierce dog which while at large bites anybody, is lisble to alike fine, unless he kills the dog, and the marshal is instructed to kill on sight llli!uLh anjmal found running at large. one, not even the nmruhnl is al- lowed to prepare or use poison for killing dogs, and if they do may be fined $25. Yesterday there were a dozen or more dogs put into the pound, and the work is still going on. OFf courso there were many complaints on_the part of dog owners, but it is hoped that there will be a goneral cleaning up. Those who have dogs which they value at all, can better afford to look after them lhnn to allow their biting those who do not want dogs atall. e J. W.
