The occupations given were, gasfitter, tailor, tolograph operator, lumberman, brick- Iayer, blacksmith, farmer and laberer, making trades enough to have given start to a colony of themselves, The various residences given by them were Omaha, Chicago, Philadelphia, Waltham, IIL, Cloveland, Hartford, Conn,, Boston, Plattemouth and Missouri. Assossor Stone does not find much con- sistency in the action of the board of equalization. Lust year the board low- ered ,his assossment £60,000. This year he made the assessed give statement under oath, and the board increased the assessment £100,000, For several jyears the asssessor has put the bank stock on the list, and the board has cut them off. This year he left them off and the board has ordered them put on. So it goes.

The salo of unclained packages by the Amorican oxpress company yesterday drew o largo crowd, and created much merriment. Tho collection of goods was amotley ono, as it had boon gathered from all points in the state, and consisted of packagos, valises, trunks, boxes, ete. Those were auctioned off to tho highest bidder without examination, so that there was much luck and chance about it. The worst sold man of tho day bought a fine looking box for $1.25 and on opening it found it to contain nothing but patent medicine, almanacs and old ones at that.

The room waa crowded and the excitement kept up all day. — Coroner Connell was doubtless chosen auctioneer of the express companyh salo because there was so mang-aéad give-a- ways and stiffis. He wmade a good one, anyway, and probably got more money out of the crowd than any other man who could have been selected.

The Oolored Voters TInsist Vaugh- an Shall Keep His Promise and Appoint a Darky Policeman. The colored voters claim that Vaugh- an has promised to appoint one of their number on the police force, if they would meet and agree as to who they wanted on the force. Three different gatherings have been held to decide this mighty mattor, They claim that Vaughanprom- ised to come and act as chairman, but at none of the meetings did he appear. At a convention held the other night, those present decided in requesting that Harry Knight should be appointed on the force, but this called forth some dissatisfaction, as it was found that Knight had only been here about three months, and had no special claims to the appointment. Another meeting was held Wednesday night. The old building formerly used by Mr. Knave as a harness shop was se- locted as the place. The colored gentle- men borrowed strawberry boxes and half- bushel mensures at Maltby’s store for seats, and it being decided that every colored voter in the city was entitled to a seat in the convention if he could borrow one, the candles were snuffed and businoss proceeded. A committee was appointed to draw up some resolutions, and retired to the rear room of the build- ing, but finding that the caving in of the bluff had smashed one side of the room, they got shaky about staying there, and without waiting to reduce their report to writing they hurried back to their breth- ren and gave an oral report denouncing Vaughn for not keeping his promises to the colored voters, Ed Ollison gave the boys a straight talking to. He said that he was a demo- crat, and that the democrats had paid the darkies $2.50 each at the last election for their votes. 'They had got their pay and had no business to expect any more. The democrats had done all they would, and if they wanted any more they should make the republican party do something for them. As long as they sold their votes, instead ol voting on principle, they need expect nothing but the prico of their votes. He declared that Vaughan had fooled all Council Bluffs, and he would of course fool them. Atfer some talk it was declded to rec- ommend Joe Banks as policeman, This was made unvnimous and on motion an adjournment was taken to Wagner's saloon to get the beer on their nominee, and after the delegates had returned their borrowed strawberry boxes they repaired thither and drank heartily to Banks’ nomination. They will now wait to see which one of the new uniforms will be vacated to make room for Banks. B PERSONAL. Oscar Allan, ex-president of the Towa far- mors’ association, was in the city yestorday. Frank Shinn, the attornoy, talks of settling here. 2 J. P. Wilbort has gone to his ranch in Custar County, Nob., on u trip merely, and not to remain there as reported.
