Kiel's stable on Bancroft strect is be- ing enlarged by an addition, making the whole 50 by 100 feet in size. Mandemaker & Van, the contractors builders, are about concluding several contracts for important building improve- ments. Mr. Bixby is putting in standpipes and fire protection in Stewart's packing house, the work Dbeing extensive and complete. P. McEvoy, of Elkhorn, has in train- ing at the driving park Zulu and Clive, both fast trotters, belonging io A. J. Pop- pleton, of Omaha. Lee Bennett, the little genius who presides over the Pacific house news stand, is making out of cigar boxes a very ingenious model of the Brooklyn bridge. H. R.

The pavers are planning to go ahead at once and finish up the work st the inter- section of Pear] and Broadway without waiting for the street car rails which can be put in place afterwards, There were two more wild steers re- ported as runnivg at large yestorday, who escaped at the same time that the one did who was shot day before yester- day. They were on the bottoms and were causing considerable commotion yesterday. Stlle Bates, who was arrested for dis- turbing the peace, he having had a row with Bill Cupp in Bokemper's saloon, was yesteraay fined §9.60.

Davis, who lives a short distance out, has been born a girl; Mr. Rood, who is employed at Howe & Son's, has a brand-now boy; and Charles Frisby, who is in the employ of Deere, Wells & Co., also has a new boy. The ordinance forbidding the driving of cattle along streots which are parked seems to be wholly lost sight of, Cattle thus driven along are apt to get out of the roadway and cut up sod and break foliage before the drivers can interfere. A feow fines would remind the careless of the existence of the law, B. B. Mann, of the Mutual Reserve Association, of New York, furnished 'I'nx Bek with a partial list of the business he has taken sinco his arrival in Council Bluffs, The listis found in another col- umn, and worthy of attention, as it shows the confidence that some of the best busi- ness men have in the company, and their approval of this firm of insurance, The matter is well worth investigation. Thomas McGeer, a constable from No- ola, was hero yesterday hunting for John Hanley, the blacksmith, who some time ago claimed to have been robbed of $500 in gold, which he had hidden in the bel- lows of his blacksmith shop, It is claimed that Hanley is wanted to answer to a charge of being too itimate with a Danish girl. The constable was inform. od that Henley was at work at Glen. wood, and started there for him, A detective association has been for- med with office in the Masonic temple. A, F. Clatterbuck is the manager, Goo, Edga, the assistant, and O. E. Boswick the secretary, These gentlemen aro all well known here, and all three aro ex. perienced officers, who huve had much to do with the capture of criminals and re covery of lost and stolen property, Thoy will doubtless find plenty to keep them busy. Council Bluffs has an opera house of which itis and should be proud, and with some good sconery and a fow ad- ditional improvements the opera house would compare favorably with that of any clty. The lack of good scenery is felt at overy entertainment. Much of the time there is virtually no orchestra either, It1s to be hoped that in music, programmes, and sconio effest there will il l be improvement ore long. A girl named Minnie Foster, with strong temper and a weak virtue, hau a little altercation with A Barnstein, and _helped him to get outof the house in a BEE, |ttvely manner. He went before Justice d complaint, charging the Schurz and fi 1 she th assault. On being arre plended guilty, and was Paid fined €5 and costs 7. W. Kinsey, & painter, was arrosted | Officer O'Brien, on the yontorday by board charge of larceny. o had been ing with W, H. Maywood at Streetsville, and as several articles had been missed, including several rings and some money, a trap was set, a silver dollar marked M W. belng part of the bait. On being ar rested and searched, this marked doliar ™" was found upon Kinney's person. None of the other articles missed were found. 1. Russell has filed a complaint before Phillips is claimed that Justice Schurz charging with a mayhem. 1t Phillips took a bite off one of fingers in a littlo tow in which they were Russell's indulging. The case was continued until next Monday. THE DESERTED BABE, Some New Itelations Concerning the Woman Who Now Admits Being the Mother, the news T following among its items “Upon the complaint of Miss Belle Brookings, of Tekama, Mr. W. H. Clark, of that town, was bound over to the district court on the chargo of bas- tardy. This is the lady who was arrest- ed at Council Bluffs about three weeks ago for abandoning hor child, Sho then gave her name as Mrs. A. W, Denton, and claimed that she was not the mother of the child.” The little item has caused quite a stir- ring up of what was at the time quite a sensation, It will be remembered that the young lady when arrested here ad- mitted that she had left the babe on the dooratep of the house where it was found but explained that in comlng in on the train from a vislt to a family named Mec- Donald, living near Red Oak, & woman who was a stranger to her, asked her to hold the baby a minute, and did not come back, and not knowing what to do with the child, she left it as described. Other statements were made, including the one that sho was enciente, and could Ber on Monday contained Nebraska not bo the mother of the new-born babe. The prosccution of the caso was dropped in a manner which camsed Tur Bgek to criticize the handling of the case, rather sharply, and in turn Tre Bee was taken to task by those concerned, who seemed to have a good deal of confidence in the girl's state- ments. The father of the girl came to thin city to openly refute all charges and vindicate her ° character. He was vouched for by one or two prominent citizens here who knew him, and his roputation for truth and veracity, and ho created an impression in his daughter’s favor, and much sympathy for her. The babe in the meantime was loft at the Home for the Friendless, where it still remains. It now appears that soon aftorthe woman was here, correspondence was opened to find out where the child was and how it was being cared for, evidencing an unusual interest in a child which sccording to her story had been loft on her hands by a stranger. It now appears that when she was in this city she was not alone, but that a man was here also, and that he was the one who wrote the letter, and planned the scheme of desertion. It is intimated that the man who was here was the fath- or of & young man, who is supposed by some to be the real father of the child instead of the one arrested, and that there will be some more developments to | ¥ startle the pooplo of Tekamah. While the question of paternity is being sottled it sooms that if the matornal responsibil- ity is admitted, the least that tho young woman and her folks could do would bo to take tho babo te their own home, and reliovo the Home of tho Friondless of its support and care. It is said, how- ever, that the partios concorned aro so well'fixed financially that they are not only able but willing to pay for its keop- | | ing here. Still, there in a heartlossness about it that seoms in keoping with the manner in which the babe was left on the doorstep. TURNING A TRICK. A Milwaukee German Buys ‘Worth of Experience, $35 Monday afternoon anothor confidonco game was played here, or rather, an old game was played over again. The victim this time was a German from Milwaukee, who had been out in Nebraska, and had returned o far as this city, intending to try and get work on some farm in lowa, At the transfer he met two men, and gotting somowhat acquainted with them, came up town. One of the strangers reprosonted that he was a farmer, and that the other was a man who had been in his employ. The hired man was about to Jeave him, and the farmer was to pay him off, and lot him go. This gave an opening for the Milwaukse Gor- man to hire out, and the farmer made a bargain with him to take the place thus loft vacant. The farmer in paying off tho man who was to leave was a little short of currency, but had plenty in the bank, of course, and would the newly hired man lend him a littlo till he could gotit. The Milwi induced to hand T §8b, farmer paid to tho “‘old hired wan,” who departed satisfied. Tho new employer and new employed took a glass of boer together, and the employer stepped over to the bank to draw some monoy., For some reason he was delayed so ho did not ot back as soon as was evpected, and the German, getting tired of waiting went back to the transfer, thinking he might be there. He did not tind him, and then he interviewed the police, who opened his eyes to the fact that he had been con- fidenced, e et— Move Mui, ‘man was thus which the koo Arrangements ara made political meeting at the Opera house, Wednesday evening. 1t is announced that Johu N. Baldwin will reply to Maj- or Lyman, Col. Sapp, and Mr. Scott, who o ably defended Major Lyman’s recozd, 8o bitterly attacked by Mr. Pu- sey.
