It is well known that when the council passed the notorious *‘back-pay” resolution that alderman drew the $100, which was his share of the grab, and that when the resolution was rescind- ed, although he votcd for rescinding it, he did not pay the $100 back.

It is high time that some powor was used to stop any more jobs or grabs here on the part of the Union Pacific but it is to be regretted that the veto power in this case is not strenger, It may be strong enough, but the law provides that the council may pass a resolution or ordinance over tho mayor's head by a vote of two-thirds of the council. As here the council consists of six members, it takes four votes, but four votes is but a majority of the coun- cil, too, so that in fact a bare majority of the council may pass an ordinance, and the same bare majority may overcome the veto, The new law granting the veto power provides as follows: Soction 1. That the mayor of every city of the first and sezond class, excopt of less than eight thousand (8,000) inhabitants by the last consus report, in' the state, shall sign every ordinance or resolution, by any city »f the first and second class, bofore such ordinance or resolution shall take effect or be in force, Section 2, 1f the mayor of any city of the first and second class, only as above excepted, shall refuse to sign any ordinance or resolution after it has boen passed by the council of such city, heshall call a meeting of each counail within (14) fourtoen days after the passage of such ordinance and resolution, and shall return the ordinance or resolution to them, with his rensons for refusing to sign the same. Section 3,—Upon the return of the ordi- nance or resolution by the mayor to the city council, they may place the same, upon the call of ‘the yoas “and nays, by not less than two-thirds (1) vote of all the members of said council over the mayor's veto, and the clerk or recorder of such city shall certify on said ordinance that the same was passed by a two- thirds (§) vote of the council and sign it offi- cially as clerk or recorder. Section 4,—But if any ordinance fails to obtain at least a two-thirds majority of all the council elected ofy such city, after being ve- toed by the mayor, then such ordinance or resolution shall be void and of no effect.

LUFFS: MAX MOEIN, Proprietor, CRESTON HCUSE. The weather was not very favorable for the opening of the lawn tennis grounds Saturday afternoon, and yet there was a largo attendance. The grounds are very nicely arranged, and attractively decorat- ed, and with seats under the awning fer 240 people, it is all that could be asked for. The shower interfered somewhat, and an adjournment was taken t this af ternoon at 4 o'clock. The Bavarian band will bo in attendance as on yester- day, and the invitations issued will be good for this afternoon. There are now about 180 members in the club, about thirty of whom were pres- ent Saturday.

It is expected that a calcul ated, large number of the members will secure suits, the gents 'to wear white flannel shirts and pantaloons, and the ladies to have their dresses of stripes of the color of the club. Some of the ladies appear- ed thus Saturday. There is need of a club house of about four rooms, a cottage ‘with a recepton room, gents and ladies’ rooms, etc., and there is talk of erecting such a one at a cost of $2060 or 8300, with a verandah from which the game can be watched. R. 8, Ryan and O. T. Stewart merit praise for their enterprise in superintend: ing the preparations thus far made. The grounds were badly flooded by Saturday night's rain, but these gentlemen had them ned yesterday so that thoy could have all possible opportunity for drying. There are two tents up, one for the band and one for spectators, A shed has also been built for the protection of the balls, eto.

All for 20C! —— High Compliments, The last issue of the Musical Critic and Trade Review contains the following concerning the Hardman pianos, of which J, Mueller, of this city, is the general western agent: It is safe to say there is no firm in the ccuntry that has made greater progress during the past year than that of Hard- man, Dowling & Peck. They have made many valuable improvements in th struments, and are constantly striving, rogardless of expense, to better their pi- anos in every way. Owing tothe many improvementsmade, and the best quality of workmanship and material used in the piano, the firm have been compelled to raise the price on overy style. This is only just, and all their agents are business men who at onge see the necessity of this advance in order to maintain their present high standing, and are perfectly satisfied, as- suring the firmt that they will push their pianos as hard as ever. They have just completed & splondid concert grand to be used at the May fes- tival, and are at work on a small parlor grand, which will soon be presented to the public. The firm of Hardman, Dowling & Peck desorve much credit for their untiring energy, and the sucoess they have at- tained, and we believe that under its present management the firm will con- tinue to advance the pooularity of the Hagdman pianos. — Special prices for the next ten days un| ostrich plumes and tips at i Mus, Noxgs', 106 Main 8t. | ivil Enefiineer ROOM 6, NEW OPERA HOUSE, COUNCIL BLUFFS, I0WA.
