Tho street sprinkler is now fighting dust. The ox-firemen say they caught 114 fish. Bushnell sells railroad tickets cheap to all points. The district court will get fairly at work to-day Try a **Young Turk” 5 cent cigar at the opera house. In Vaughan mostly mayor or justice That is the question, Two blocks of paving are nearly com- pleted on Main street. Attend the workingmen's this evening at the court house, meeting There will bea dance at the rink Weodnesday ovening; everybody is invit- ed, The opera house cigar store has its windows adorned with new and attract- ive lettering, the work of G. R, Beard. Two tramps were asleep in the park at an early hour yestorday morning, having evidently been sleeping all night there. The police force seems to bo a sort of constabulary force to drum up business for Vaughan’s court instead of the police court., By a change in the Wabash time-tablo the Peoria and Chicago express now leaves here at 1:20 p, m. and arrives at 8:05 p. m. The caso of Frank Phillips, for imper- sonating an officer, was continued before Justice Abbott yesterday to the 16th inat. The stone for the tramps to smash up is being delivered at the pound. Now let the fellows come on. The city has a place to work them, J. Simons has two complaints lodged against him in Justice Vaughan's court, one for larceny of a pair of boots from J. J. Donahue, the other for reslsting an officer, Joo Adams was booked by tho polico as “half drunk.” Judge Aylesworth yos- torday decided that the law did not pro- vide for fractional drunksand so dis- tharged him, By a change of time yesterday the Mis- souri Pacific will now leave at 10:30 a. m, and 8:30 p.m., which enables Council Bluffs folks to take the morning train if they desire. The notices of raises of Jassessments have been posted up, and those who want to kick are invited to appear before the board of equalization on the 16th, There are 132 names on the notice, Yesterday afternoon a suit of clothes was taken {from the Colorado house on lower Broadway. The officors are on the lookout for the fellow,and as he is known there is a show of getting him, The district convention of the Y. M. 0. A. will open next Friday morning at the rooms and will hold a two day session there. The evening sessions will be at the Baptist church, except Sunday even- ing when it will be in the opera house. John Steffen, of the transfer force, has a new boy at his house; a friend intimat- ed that John now believed in boy-cot- ting. John has hardly récovered from the effects of the horrible pun, but moth- er and child are doing well, C. R. Scott complains that dirt is being hauled away from his hill. Yesterday one of the men thus engaged was fined onedollar and costs by Justice Abbott and made to haul the dirt back from where he got it. With this sort of a warning others will be apt to bo more careful where they get dirt. At a meeting of thestockholders of the Council Bluffs & St. Louis Railway com- pany held in Council Blufls yesterday the following persons were elected directors : D. 8. H, Smith, W, 8. Hages, A, A. Talmage, James F. How, Willis H. Blodgett, all of 8t. Louis; D, H, Solo- mon, Council Bluffs, Iowa, John Peters, Mike Killdear and Geo, Peters were before Judge Aylesworth yesterday on the charge of disturbing the peace, they being concerned in the beer- glass carnival at Bokemper's saloon, They pleaded guilty and were each fined $14.60. Ioformations have also been filed against them before Justice Vaughn, Mayor Vaughan has often said that his salary of $50 a month only left him 3 amonth on which to live and pay for postage, bands, ete., he having to pay his clerk $47 & month, What he loses in the mayor's salary he is in a fair way to make up as justice of the peace, He has had 36 state cases since the lst of May. Arthur McDermott was yesterday be- fore Justice Vaughn ona charge pre- ferred by John Jay Franiey, who claims that McDermott sold him & horse which was the property of McDormott's father, Two informations were filed, one charg- ing young McDermott with larcony, and one with fraudulent conveyance of por sonal property, He gave $800 and waived exsmination, 1o another column appeats the report of the Home of the Friendless, which it will be seen, is in many respects very a‘mu.iuhmldcndaol that insti- The needs of the work are in- I}E]J}_lvrming continually, and the demands that the courage, are constantly pressing, so friends, while taking fresh should show fresh zeal, and readily re- spond to the appeal for continued hely, while those who have made promises, should meet them promptly. Business at the Clyde has been so live- ly of late that Ira Corpron has been thinking of gotting some assistant clerk to help him out. Yesterday he received a telegram stating that there was one who would take the place after awhile. The telegram was from Maquoketa where his wife's home is, saying that the new boy weighed eight pounds, and all was well. A driver for one of White's freight transfer teams was yesterday so beastly drunk that he tried to drive over a nost at the corner of Pearl and and when he tried to get off soat to seo what was the matter, he Broadway, the high fell headlong into the street, but was too drunk to break any bones. Bystanders got the wagon started again, and the last seen of the fellow he was driving down Pearl street, trying to take in both sides of the streot at once, and whipping his mules into a trot. taken charge of by the authorities here being kept hero. Ho was ve terday and neatly as could be learned by a countryman, his name is Anderson and Fairbury, Jeferson y quiot yes he was enrouto for county, Neb., his brother being there. The poor follow seems to have got over- excited and under-fed. His lunch bas- kot contained somoe terrible remnauts of » son voyage, and ho claims to have been confidenced out, of $8, all the money he had. e would not eat anything at the jail becauso he had no money to pay for it, and it took some time to assure him that it would coat him nothing. It has beon decided to hold him here until to- day at least, and if he keeps on gatning in health and spirits as much as he has the past twenty-four hours he will be sent on his way. Council Bluffs people arogetting protty woll up now in the decorative art, and there is & demand here now for richer wall papers and more artistic decorations than ever before. Much of this advance- ment in taste is dae to George R. Beard, who I8 a sort of a pioneer in the decora- tive art here, having introduced many new styles, and always keeping ahead of the city itself, in quantity and quality of stock. As soon as anything new and nice in his line comes out at any of the factories, ho immediately puts in a sup- ply, and then keeps ahéad of the demand. Among the decorative work done by him this senson, are ths Ogden house, Burn- ham, Tulley & Co.’s office, Dr. Wood- bury's office, and many others, as well as a large number of private residences, and there aro now many of theso rooms beautiful and attractive indeed, which bespeak praise for Beard. With all his success he still keeps tho prices down within the reach of all, and is always will- ing to compare with any houso in any city in prices as well as quality of work, Beard makes a closestudy of hisbusiness, and has for years, and what he don't know about wall paper and decorations is hardly worth knowing.

The committee reported as follows: Wo have carefully examined the report, comparing it with receipts, and fiud it correct. J. P. Fiuserr, T, R. Brooks, Auditing committee. On motion, the report was approved and ordered published, together with the following statomont : We are now caring for eighteen at the Home. Mrs. Rodd, whom we received some months since, is able to bo up and is rapidly regaining strongth. For sovoral weeks thero was litcle hope of her recovery. She is & widow witk two children who are at home also. She has asorious lung trouble, Compelled to wash for a living, she so exposed her- self during the wintor that she was prostrated and life seriously endangered. We feel that the care bestowed upon her has been the saving of her life. We can not speak too highly of the matron, Mrs. A, M. Compton, for her self-sacri- ficing (labors in this case. For weeks Mrs. Rodd loy and groaned from morn- ing ti | night and from night till morning. During this time, the matron never had an unbroken night's rest. Yet she nover wearled in her efforts to aid and comfort the afflicted one and never complained of the duties imposed upon her. In this connection we feel it to be our duty, and a pleasure also, to speak of Dr. A. J. Cook, physician to the Home, who has given his services since the founding of the Home, free of charge. We have had & number of very serious cases there. Nota deash has occurred, but in every instance the patient has been rapidly restored to health and strength, Thoro is an old lady at the Home also, over seventy years of age, It is certain- ly a labor that wo all delight in to pro. vide a home where the afilicted and the aged can be tenderly cared for. There are two lads, who were taken last fall, poor and homeless. They have been given a year's echooling and are making good standing, Such work is of o most practical nature. If these boys can bo given a few years achooling, it will bo a greater blessing to them than ten thousand dollars. The balance are boys and girls—one about thirteen, the others ranging from three to ten years. It will be noticed that there is only $2.50 in'the treasury. There are several small Dbills for groceries, dry goods, etc., still due. Then there are the current expenses to be met. There is enough due on monthly subscriptions to meet all these debts and we trust that each one, knowing himself indebted to the Home, will remit to the manager, Rev. J. G. Lemen, without further notice. We trust also that many who are not sub- scribers, who read this report will send to the manager a liberal donation, We feel that God is blesaing the work. Already we have considerably over a hundred monthly subscribers and the names are npidfy coming in from all parts of the state. Wo hope, pray and lieve that the day is not far distant when we will have funds to buy a large tract of land and erect larger and more suitable buildings than are now owned by the association. Kor this happy con- summation, we ask the prayers and co- operation of all, Done by order of the association, this May 12th, 1884, Wil O, GARMAN, Becrotary. | — Real Estate Transters, The following transfers were filed May 12, 1884,and reported by P, J.McMahon, Council Bluffs: Emma Fitts to PhilanderJudson se qr, nw qr, 16, 76. 44, §2b.
