Jam. eson, of the C, B, & .; Mike McCabe, of tha Wabash, A ocectain married man of family, who passes muster for a gentleman of respect- abllity, entered the house of one of our citizens in the suburbs of the town, on Saturday, while the owner was away, and proceeded to make indecent proposals to his wife, He was met with a warm re- ception, however, and was compelled to beat a hasty retreat at the muzzle of a 28 calibre Smith & Wesson, By request all names are suppressed, but it would be well for others to keep a lookout for the H. Hart, aprominent citizen of this place, died at hls residence here of cere- bral congestion quite suddenly, at G o'clock this morning. Mr. Hart has been a resident and banker of this city SHOULD BE INVESTIGATED, Uharges of Neglect in the Cate of a Small-Pox Case, If one half that Is carrently reported, concerning the treatment of the small pox case, is true, there should be an officlal invesiigation, and censure placed upon whoever has been in fault. The glrl named Froharty, who was taken down, was removed from her home on Seventh street to the pest-house, and the house quarantined. The girl may have been properly cared for there, but, if not, it will be very difficult to get at the facts, The poor girl dled there Friday night. The family, quar- antined at their own home, are said to have been neglected both as regards food and clothing, and it is sald they have actually suffered from hunger and from cold. The bedding and bed which was in the house when the girl was taken sick were burned by the authorities and some blankets sent to the house to take the place, but it is sald that most of these blankets were taken with the girl to the pest house, leaving the family without sufficlent bedding. It is claimed for elevon years past, belng the pioneer In that business in this part of the state. He was intimately indentificd with the financlal affalrs of our city, and stood high as a gentleman of wealth, and one who was always foremost in pushing for. ward every enterprise calculated to butld up the city of his home or his portlon of the state.”” Dr. and Mra. Hart returned home yesterday. The blow to them has been a very heavy one, and calis forth the greatest sympathy here. Bé sure you get McClurg’s self-rising buckwheat flour. UPSET SALE AT METCALF BROS. I0WA'S EXHIBIT. How It is Bing Pat in Shape at the New Orleans Exposition, Laboring Under Difliculties, The last number of the Exposition Towan gives a lengthy but interesting account of the progress of the work of preparing the exhibit of this state, The accldent which befell part of the goods in shipment Is already familiar to TuE Bek readers. It has necessarlly caused great delay and damage, but a noble rally s being made. Superintendent Chase knowing that his pyramid for the grains of Iowa had been destroyed, promptly gave an order for a new ene to be built. Professors Akers and McBride were the first to take off thelr coats but they dlscovered that thelr education- al exhibits had been limited to a space of only 20x35 feet. After three days pro- testing and beseeching they secured double this space, and went to work pre. paring the exhibits. It was intended only to provide tables and racks, but when it became apparent that adjoining spaces were belng adorned hsndsomely, a decorator was employed, handsome designs selected, and Iowa's educational space speedily transformed into a parlor. The space on the ground floor, intended for the general state exhibit is 55x1856 feet, and platted into four main divis. fons with a circle in the middle of it, These divisions are awarded to the agri- cultural department, the flour an grain . exhibit, tho mechanicel exhibit, ‘and the fourth t, the geological exhibit of wood, fruit, etc, the Intervening spaces to be filled with miscellaneous articles. With lumber and other articles ordered in the city, five miles away, with ralny and cold weather, and the rush on all sldes, it has been slow work to get the exhiblts In shape. Col. Brackett, much disappointed at the preparation and temperature for his fruit in the horticultural hall, decided to make his largest display inthe state ex- hiblt, The superintendent to whose lot una- voldably came the most annoyance, was Col, C. W. Huntington, He had just un- loaded upon the Iowa space splendid specimens of carrlages, wagons, reapers, scales, barb-wire,* etc., when the man- agement of the exposition Interposed an objection to the placing of manuiactnred products and heavy machinery in the that there was a lack of food also, and some private parties have sought to re- lieve the wants by sending in clothing and food. The daughter has thus beeu taken away to dle in a pest house, and be buried with none of the family near. The wirl was removad from her home on one of the worst days of the season, and this may have caused her death. To satisfy those who believe that the family have not been used humanely, there should be an ofticial inveatigation, and this should be done in justloe to those who have by their officlal position had some- thing to do with the matter, and yet are not toblame, If there has been neglect, it should be known, snd the neglect should be placed at theright door. e UPSET SALE AT METCALF BROS. ———— McClurg’s relf-rising buckwheat flonr is the best, Try it. e — ‘Wall paper and interior decorations at P.

A Farmer Loses a Large Amount of Money on Broadway, A farmer who lives about nine miles from here was In the city Saturday doing some business with P.J.McMahon and had an envelope containing a large amount in notes and $380 in currency. He dropped the package on Broadway, and in com- pany with Mr. McMahon made a search for it. The envelope, with the notes was at last found in the gutter, but the money was gone. The pollce are now trying to find polnters, but with not much success, and the probability is that it is gone forever, ——— UPSET SALE AT METCALF BRO'S. e —— Dr. C. C. Hazen, Dentlst, 100 Maln st, o —— Sale of Bonds, The sewer bonds to the amount of $85,000 have been sold, and the cash placed in the Citizens' bank. Tt is un- derstood that Mr. Reagan made the sale through J. W. and E. L. Squire to a banking house in Montpelier, Vt. It is understood that the bonds were sold at 95 cents, $15,000 of them being inter- section bonds, and that the Vermont purchasers sold them to other parties at 08 cents. It Is also said that Messrs. Squire Bros. were allowed one-half of COUNOIL BLUFFS MARKET, Wheat—No. 1 milling, 57; No. 2, 55; No, 8, 45, Corn—New, 21c, Oats—For local purposes, 23c. Hay—84 50@6 00 per ton; baled, 50@60, Rye—sbo.

The contro- versy at last accounts was still unsettled, There has been great delay getting the woman's work department adjusted. Mrs, Scott had agreed to go with other states, upon certain conditlons, in the gallery opposite the Iowa space, but after namerous meetings and conferences the the ohlefs of the department have not been able to make much progress toward getting ready for the seversl lady super- intendents to place thelr goods. The sanitary exhibit was ready for inspection on the opening day. In the centerof the Iowa space, a week or more ago, the much talked of corn houee was erected and in charge of Mrs, T. S, Dunham, Owing to the rainy weather much of the corn sent the lad; was damaged, It will require a weel longer to complete It. From the review of the work that has been done on the Iowa exhibit, it will be inferred, and rightly too, that a large amouht of work remains to be done, but aa nearly every otherstate ls in the same condition, the Towa commlssioners feels that they have company.
