The Probability That They Will Call a Special Election, The county bosrd of & no regular session yesterd rvisors held and [took the new By, no formal action In regard to court house, but it is understood from very good 5 that they will probably oall a special and submit the matter to the people. One of the great reasons warranting, In fact demand ng such action on their part, is that officials, yar election sworn to look after the Interesis of the county, they find that no facllifes are &t present afiyrded for doing the county’s businees, aud no eafe place is provided for the resords and papers, affecting the title of every Inch of property in ths coanty. They feel that they must either have fire proof vaults or a new court house, and that by submittiag the matter to the people, they will only perform a plain duty, Another fact stares them in the face, and that is tha! It becomes ap- parent from yesterday’s meeting that Council Bluffs paying two.fifths of the county taxes, a majority of the taxable proverty through ita representatives arc in favor of & spacial election, and a new court house. The board is made up of men of pretty good stuff, and if they are thus convinced, as they seem to be, that it is their daty, &s well as the will of the people, to have a special election, they will surcly call one. e e— A Rush ot Boys, When the recently organizad assocla- tion for helping the boys was put into active operation, it was intended simply to provide work or homes for destitute boys. The simple plan was hit upon of haying euch boys leave thelr names and addresses at some business office, and then anyone wanting a boy could apply there. Judge Bond and Mr. Sibley, the coal man, whose offices are under the Citizen's bank, kindly consented to take the names of such boys. Col. Hogeland, in his enthusiasm, however, did not seem to make the plan quite plain enough, and the boys getting an Idea it was some sort of a society, and that ali who wanted ribbons and big dinners should go there, the opening of the office was accompanied by such a rash of boys as has never been seen before. Boys of all conditions in life, of all sizes and ages, of all colors and garbs came storming in to get blue ribbons snd joln whatever st of a ‘‘hurrah” there might ba. Poor Judge Bond was nearly driven wild, and eought rest by getting oat of the office, after wrestling with names and addresses, and asking questions for a few hours, and Mr. Sibley, with all his bueiness coolness and tact, was beaten out. The press of the city was appealed to that the rush might b stopped by announcements that only needy boys need apply. The plan begins to be better understood now, and promises to ran not only smoothly here- aftor, but to result in giving practical halp to those who need it €0 greatly, 5 GHOSTS, Jim Keene Drops Out of Sight—How Speculators Retrieve Their For- tunes—A Wiser Plan, Special dispateh to the Globe-Temocrat, New York, January 31.—The enfore- ed ssle of James R, Ksene's last horse, and bis disposal of his final remaining share In a large apartment house, mark the failare of his latest attempt to recoup. This hss reminded busy Wall street that Keene still existed, but needed some- thing of the sort to recall him to nemory, for he has dropped entlrely out of the noancial world, and is no more a factor in the making of prices than is any bro— ker’s office boy. Yet Keene had a bril- liant career while it lasted. He came on here with §3,000,000 or thereabouts in his pockets and struct the boom of 187980, and at one time was worth not far from $15,000,000, The riff raffand the hangers-on and the ad- venturers of thesirees fastened on to him, flattered him, told him of his mission in life and his duty toward mankiod wes to break Jay Gould, and offered theiradvice and influence. Keene made money fast as long as prices advanced. He bought with great freedom and courage, and his name was in every one's mouth. But when the tide turned Keene was loaded. He did not have the sagacity and celerity of Gould, who has a knack of turning even misfortunes to good accouny, but kept on gatting in deeper until the in evitable rapped at his door, and he found he had lost all. Keene's crror seems to have been the crror common to beginners in Wall street. He wanted to trade all the time. The cool-headed operator walts until the market suits him. Three or four times a year all hands in the street agree that stocks are very low. There has been a flurry, and prices have gone down 10 or 20 per cent.; they ara sure to react within a comparative short time. Then itie that theprudentmancomes to the front with his cash, Bat the 1 who goes down into the street every day and buys or sells for a short turn feels as though he must do something every day and thet kind of trading never fails to wreck the longest purse. Keene was always In the market, and he was always buying. The sharp set of fellows who manipulated Denver and Rio Grande up to 110 or thereabouts and sold a great lot of stock to Keene,and he was compelled to take more to hold the price against thelr ralds when they had sold it ehort. He never was cunning enough to concea! his operations, and the sharks of the street marked him from the first, He was Indiscreet enough to quarrel with Joy Goull and to threaten him, and Gould thereafter did not count him as s friend, It is very much better for a young Wall street man to have Gould's friendship than his ¢nmity. And so Keene floundered until his money was gone, He bids falr to becoms what the boys call a ghost of Wall street, WALL STREET GHOSTS, Tha' thoroughfare is full of ghosts—of men who have been rich and who now are penniless, They march down to the street every moralng regularly as do the millionaires and wander from onebroker's office to nnother, banding over the tape and talking all day long about the market and predicting its courss, Once ina while they up a 85 Lill in a bucket-shop and strut around like fighting cocks if they increase it to £10; out that is the end, for they immediately stake the £10 and lose it.

But the most engaging and lovely objest paled into insignifi- cance beside the peerless women of this blessed country, and you may well be- lieve that when the camp was struck the eoldiers lost no time in making their way to the surrounding cottsges. Soon the music of the violin was heard, and the shufiling feet kept time to the music, while, for a time, the soldier’s face was it with old- time joy. At one of these cottages the belle of the valley reigned suprame, while eeveral southern soldiers vled with each other in paying homage to the gueen. Among others were two young soldiers— one from Georgia and the other from Miesissippi—wlio were speclally cner- getic in their attentions, and so marked had this become that those present watched the play with constantly fncres. ine interest, fully believing that both ex- hibited a caie of love at first sight., This surmize on the part of those present was only too truc, as the tragic _event which followed fully proved. The Georgian seemed to have tho lead on the Massielp- plan, and when the dancers were called to take their places he led the belle of the valley to a place in the set. At this point the Mississippian was eccn to ap- proach the couple and heard to claim the lady’s hand for the dance. An alterca- tion eneued, but both were cool, brave soldiers—two of the best ehots in the army—who did not believe In a war of woras, So It was ended by the Georgian danclng with the lady, and the significant remark of the Missiesippian that ‘I will see you after this set.” “When the dance was over the Georgian was ecen to seek the Mississsip- ian, and together they each calleda friend from the crowd and departed. When outstde both claimed that an insult had been passed, which could only be wiped out in the blood of the other, and that a duel to the death should be arranged at once.
