Permit to wed was yesterday granted Col. D. Sadle, of Dakots, and Mias Oatherine L. Brock, of Hancock, Jerry Myers who has lately sold out his saloon, has been complained of for not settling his last quarters’ license. The fire committee of the council yes- terday purchased of E. B. Preston & Co., of Chicago, 500 feet of hose, and a new hose cart. The Presbyterian sociable announced for Friday evening of this week has been postponed until Taesday evening, December 9th, Still Bates was run in again Monday night for being drunk. It seems about time that Still quit such foollshness and got down to business. A conventlon in commemoration of the centennial of Methodistism s being held at the Broadway Methodist church and clozes this evening. The Pacific hotel compapy has succeed- ed Markel, Swobe & Co., at the Union Pacific hotel at the transfor. There has been no change in the clerks yet. The entertainment given by the Y. M. 0. A. rooms last evening was fully up to the high standard. These weekly enter- tainments are growing in popularity. In the Parks mills robbery case Sweig art and Buckminister have been held in the sum of $1,000 to await the actlon of the grand jury, while Brown's case has been taken under advisement, and Dona hoe discharged, Davy Mottaz, who serves as private watchman at Bobbington's lumber yard, detected a sneak stealing a sack of feed from a grocery store near there Monday night. The thief got away, but the feed was captured by Davy. Herman Frederick, who is in jail awaiting trial for burglarizing A, Loule's restaurant last summer, now claims that one John Grubb, who worked in a hotel here, was implicated in the affair. Grubb is in Lincoln, and the marshal there has boen telegraphed to arrest him. The Svendsen Concert company which gives an entortalument at the Congrega- tional church Friday evening, is very highly spoken of. Johannas Svendsen is a wonderful violinist, and his wife an excsllent p st and organist. A fine elocutionist accompanies them. The tickets aro only fifty cents. The old grandmother lately pitched into the roller skating rink, claiming it is an immoral amusement, Now ehe complains that the rink is so popular that the crowds go there instead of to the the- atre. The admission shows that not only the old lady’s opinion has no welght with the community, but it is also evident that her policy is dictated whclly by the amount of advertising or patronage she gots. Poor old body. Sympathy should be felt for her in her second childhood. Steps should be taken to place the lit- tle girl, Lizzie Ball, in some reformatory school. The sensation lately caused here by her wild hack drive with the Davey boys, has proved a badly mixed affair. Her mother, aud the man Smith with whom these children were living, do not seem the proper persons to care for a young girl properly, and the atmosphere sarrounding her seems unsavory and im woral, The little girl, though only thir- teen, shows the brazenness of one who has been years in crime, and her seeming unconcern in telling the story of her get- ting drunk, and driving about town with these men, indicates the need of a strong hand, It seems strange that such a showlng of family life cannot be reached by the law, but 1t is claimed that their home belng in Omaha, the authorities of that city should attend to It. Oae thing is certain, Such a case should be at- tended to somewhere, THE EARLY BIRD, He Oatches His Room-Mate's ioll and Filics Away. Yosterdsy mornlog T. J. McCormick, & boarder at the Main street hotel, found bimself th viciw of robbery. He has been boarding st that place for some time, ocoupying & room by himself, but the night before, the house being crowd- ed, a steanger was put in the room with him, Awaking yesterdsy morning he e 'I'HRI L l)AYS OF GRACE vl Must Then ot Honse and Be Vacated, Yesterday the city marshal wan serving upon the county officials notice to vacate accordance with the city the court house in following ordinance passed by the council Boe it rerolved by the Board of Health of the city of Council Bluffs, That the ~ | auditor of satd county and his deputy or deputies, the sherifl and his deputy or doputies, the clerk and his deputy or depaties, and the treasurer and his dep- uty, the jailer and hin deputy or deputies be and they are hereby ordered, directed and required to vacate and abandon the county court house in said clty, and with- i three days from and after the service of this resolution by the city marshal and that said sherifl and said jailer be and they ore required to vacate and remove the prisoners from the jail and said court house within the time above mentioned, because said court house and offices and any room therein including sald jall, is absolutely dangerous, unsafe and hazar- dous, and the lives of all persons in sald building are jeopardized by remaining therein and because the samo is & public nuisance, and the city marshal be and he 1s hereby ordered and directed to serve this action of said board of health upon #nid county officers at once and report his doing’thereon to the board of health, The fact has become apparent that the court house Is no longer safe, and the actlon of the council clears the board of health of all responsibility in case of any calamity. The serving of the notice caused a consultation, which resulted in a call for a meeting of the board of health, county officials and county board, to be held last evening. The county board mests next Monday and some thought it would be ldvinhlu to defer further actlon until that time. The foellng in favor of a new court houso is growing in the east end of the county, where there has been 8o much opposition to such a move. The stern facts pre- sent themselves that the present building is unsafe, and that the ex- pense of keeping the prisoners elsewhere, and leasing suitable rooms for the county offices and courts will in- tail a groat expense. Aside from the necessity, it is equally apparent that this county, increasing as It Is in wealth and population, free from debt, and one of the leading counties in the state, shall in justice to Itself have a commodious and substantial court house and jail, one that will not only meet the present requirements, but will be ample for years to come. This county cannot afford to put up a cheap, stingy sort of a building, There should be some county pride shown,as well as meeting the actual necessitios. It being evident that the county must bulld, it should build in a manner worthy of such a county, and in keeping with the needs. e —— Window shades at cost to close them out.

THE CITY SCALES. The Weighmaster Now Gets the Coun- cil to help Him, The equabble over the matter of city scales has boen “long kept up, and has boen sadly{mixed. The city weighmaster, with his office at the city bullding, has not had enough business to warrant him in staying in his offico at all, or at least it would seem 5o from the fact that ho is seldom there. The Main street scales, owned and run by private partles, who paid the city $50 a year license, have beon having the run of business, and the hay murket has naturally contered on Main street. Protests have been made that this was a nuisance. Orders having been igsued against teams standing there, & hay and wood market place has been designated next to the city building, where the oflicial scales are. The mar- shals have tried to carry out the various orders. A temporary injunction has been gainod restraining the oity from interferlng with the Main strest scales until a hearing can be had iu court, The olty weighmaster has been threatening to sue the city for $2,000 damages because the council li- censed scales to take away his fees, he belng elected by the people, and this licensing of other scales virtually abolish- ing the office, Now the council has come to his help and repealed the ordin- ance licensing other scales, and thus he is loft in sole control of the wolghing of the clty, Whether this will be fought in the courts is & question not yet settled. A large number of property owners on Maln street have petitioned the council to lot the scales remain on Main street. 1t looks now as if by the time the squab- ble is ended the weighmaster's term of oflics will bo oxpired. — Orders by telephone for nuur. foed, wood, coal, and hay, will bs promptly filled by Cook & Co per, 700 Broad- way. e Telephone to No. 113 for dry hard atove wood and kladling.

Al though these wax-works were famous al over the world, they were not pleasant to look at. The faces of the persons ropre- sented had an unhealthy and bilious look, just like those hosts of peoplo we soo along the streots every day. Why do people look this way!
