Tho board of trustees of the inatitu tion for the deaf and dumb met here Thureday and inspected the new build- ings and looked over matters generally, They expressed themselves as greatly pleased, and pronounce the buildings ss well constructed, both as to workman- whip aud as to arrangements for the pur- poses needed. Last evening Cocke & Morgan had a brilliant openlng which was largely at- tended. Tho stock of dry goods, fancy articles, and various novelties for the holiday season, was shown off to good ad- vantage, and was conned by many ad- miring oyes.

Pottowattamio county should be proud of such a struc. tare. ftseems thst this propping is no great protaction, for if the ground gets soft the poles will give, just as well as the foundations of the building, and it looks as If the work, though done aa well as such worl gonld be done, would really #mount to little, At aregular meeting of St. Alban's lodge No, 17 K, of Py, the following off cors were elected for the ensuing term F.

Its Opening Presentation a Grand Success, Last evening was the opening presen- tation of the ‘‘Great Republic,” the pre- paration for which has so greatly inter- eated this community for some time past. “The Grea:c Republic” Is a historical drama, presenting in a vory vivid manner the chiof events in this natlon’s history up to the close of the war and the re- turn of peace. A large number of the school children with ome of the teachers and several local amateura took part, the whole number participating being be- ing between 400 and 500 persons, gI‘he presentation charmed the audi- ence greatly, and all the arrangements moved off nicely, although to-night they will probably move more smoothly. Some of the scenic effects were ¢rand, and while there was no display of great acting, yet the participants carried out thelr respective parts excellently. There has evidently been much labor in prop- erly preparing the play, and those upon whom the burden has fallen may well congratulate themselves on the success, which will doubtless be still greater this evening. There will also be a matinee this aftornoon. e —— . Closing out eur entire stock at gresatly reduced prices for 30 days. Call early.

Herch, has been arrested by the police on suspicion, and they are holding him under a charge of peddling without a license. He had some silver knlves, forks and spoons, and was trying to sell some of them, which attracted the at- tentlon of the blue coats, who run him in., He seemed very surly yestesday about answering any questions, and his manner strengthened the suspicion of the officers that he was not exactly straight, but as yet they have been unable to find any owner for the silverware. The young man's own explanation is that he is ped- dling silverware in the country right along, and merely chanced to be in the city, but was not trying to peddle here. e ——— McClurg's self-rising buckwheat flour always ready for use.

Hazen, Dentist, 100 Main st. ———— UPSET SALE AT METCALF BROS, e — Waiting for the Postoflice, With the election of a democratic president there have been numerous con- jectures about the position of postmaster Lere, and who would probably succeed Phil Armour. 1t has been generally sup- posed that Thomas Bowman, who has done much compaign work for the demo- cratic party, and has proved so shrewd a manager, would bo given the position, but it seems that there are other aspirants, prominent among whom {s Mr. Wells Cook, who seems to be quite confident of gaining the appointment, Othera think that there will be no change in the office until Mr. Armour's term ex- pires, one year from next spring. The democratic president will not be in- augurated until March, and then there re many more important matters to bo adjusted during the summer months than the Council Bluffs postoffice, so that at best Mr, Armour's case could not be reached until a few months before his term expires, and the party then might as well wait and let him thus retire in- stead of attempting to remove him or force him to resign, e —— STENOGRAVHY, WESTERN I0WA COLLEGE, Soveral ladies and gentlomen have re- quosted us to organizs an evening oluss n short hand, .
