Not a thiag was broken, and even the solitary truuk in the wazon was not tipped out. The ead news reaches here that Frank Kern, who was one of the late firm of H, B. Hora & Co., cigar dealers, died at his home in Allentown, Pa,, the latter part of February, consumptlon being the cansa, The mayor reccived & communication yestorday from the association ot real es- tate dealers of Iowa stating that the as- sociation would soon hold its annual meeting, and acking what Inducements Counctl Bluffs would offer if it could bs held hera, The chief of police has amended his order so that the gambling houses, as well as the saloons, must clese: at 11 o’clock every night and keep closed all day Sundsy.

The river has been in such a condition for the past few days that the Bee has been belated In getting its papers across, there being too much fco to permit the starting up of the the Ber's ferryboat, and not enough for the BEk to use sleds, The readers cf the Bee will please have patience for a day or 8o and it is then hoped that the papers can reach the Council Bluffs side at the usual early hour, 3 *‘Millions of gpiritual belngs walk the earth unseen, both when we wake and when we slecp.” Spirltual circle to- morrow (Sunday) afternoon and evening at 2and 7:30 o'clock, in Spiritual hall, Entrance on Main and Pearl strests via the staire, two doors south of the postof- fice.

Mr, BellIs also an estimable citizen, who would probably be an im- provement over some in the board. The vame of D. C.

They have paid taxes year after year, and while other parts of the city have been im. proved they have had little or nothing. To see the creek overflow and eee their property damaged or destroyed is more exasperating than any one csn realize who bas not been subjected to the trlal. Then they have been almost driven out of thelr homes by the stench of a fertllizingestablishment. They have petitioned and protested in valn, At last they united as one man and Insisted on having a representative of their own in the councll. They wanted to bo set aside as a district ward so as to insure this end, but this was denled them. Then they rallied and forced the nomina- tion of Mr. Reed, who has done them great sarvice by being their spokesman to air their grievances and present thelr wishes at different times, The public seeing thatfMayor Vaughan and his clique gave at least an outward sapport to Reed, concluded that Reed it elected would work in Vaughan’s Interest, which was a great injustice to Mr. Reed, but yet it counted agalnst him and he was dofeated. It is not to be wondered at that some of these citizens feel a little sore. They are not to ba blamed for this, but now comes the report that a few of them pro- pose to get ravenge by voting agalnst the court house and jull propositions. If there ara any who feel thus, they should stop and consider what they are do'ng. 1f they propose to wreak vengeance, or right a grievance in this way, they ar mistaken, for they are only epiting them- selves. They should walt until some mora oprortnne chance to get even. There will be plenty of such chances in the futare. As it 1s, Mr. Shugart has pledged himself publicly and privately to be a repressntative for these citizens as as the whole ward, and do al In hls power to these causes of complaint remedied 8o soon as possible after getting into tha councll. He is a3 sirongly pledged to look after these matters as Mr. Reed was. Mr. Shugart will doubt- less redeem thess pledges. But sside from all this, even those who are still bent on ravenge cannot afford to take it this way, but should watt until they have a chance to strike without having the blow recoil harder on themzelves than on those against whom they atrlke. A thouphtful view of the situa‘lon will convince any unblased mind that It is sulcldal for any citizan of Counctl Bluffs to vote agalnst the court house to punish the city government While it is important to every farmer in the county that a new court house and jall should be built, to thus eave eoxtra expense and to protect their titles and records, it is for like reasons Important to every res- ident of this city. Then, it is still ‘more of an object for Council Blufls to stand its share of the tax, for besides the other advaatages, shared in common by all in the county, this clty will get some special advantages, If the court house proposi- tion carries, the little etrip of ground on which is now situated the old Episcopal church, will be parchased, and the money Wil enable the new church building to go on thls season. Otherwise, it will walt another year. If the court house i3 built, a syndicate stand ready to buy the old Catholle church property, and this will let the building of the new Catholic church property go on this ecason, The syndicate cannot afford to let $20,000 of properly stand idle, with the paving taxes, etc., to meet, and that property will be improved. None of this building will go on if the proprietors sre defea If the court house propoeition carri there will ba 180,000 of buildings; th&n the churches and other buildings which will be put up will amount to $75,000 or $100,000 more, There is the new gov- ernment batlding, ,000, making at least half a million dollars of building improvements for Council Blofls, to ssy nothiog of the hundreds of buildings which will be started on account of this boom. While an injustice Is done those no lving in the clty, and while the farm- era aro only paying one cent an acre each year In order to bulld a court house and protect their titles and save expenses of rent, etc., this city, in paying its share, will gain all these great advantages. Council Bluffs has a chance toglve itself aboom, The workingmen | were anxlous to have paving done, but most of the money for paviog went to the quarrymea and to the railroads. In this coming building boom there will bs a smaller per cent go out of tho city for material, and a larger per cant go for labor. Docs it pay for workingmen to keep money out of their own pockets in order to spite the city at large? Goin for the boom, wark for it, vote for it, and let the de- sired revenge seek some other way of ex- presslon, Don't spite yourselves, but make yourselves stronger by helplng make the city better, the valuo of prop: ty higher, and in greater demand, work mora plenty, wages higher. Joiain and swell the boom, and reet assured that there will bo plenty of chances to punish the new city government if, like the old, 1t does not redeein its pledgee, e — A Bold Atempt, Shortly after 7 o’clock Thuraday eve- ning a bold attempt was made to burg- larize the residence of Dr. Hanchett, on Fourth street. The doctor and his wife went overto Omaha on the 6 o'clock dummy, and probably the crooks thought the house was left alone. There were, however, in the house two women with the children, and on hearing & pecaliar sound stepped 1nto the front bedroom and saw a man at the windew, She sounded the alarm, and the other going to the front door eaw the man skip off up the street. The window was found to be partly open. The fellow was a bold one, as the lights were burning in the house, the window was near the street, and the house is close to others. A fellow called at some other houses in that viclnity the tame evenlog asking for food, aud it is thought that the two were idertical, o — Reported Robbery, Will Tleyner on going home Thursday night found a man lying on Mrs. Benson's door s'ep, who was badly batered up, and clalmed that he had been sluzged and robbed, He was taken to a hotsl where he gave his name as Tyrone, and said he belonged in Avocs. Later ft was dis- coverad that a saloon man had bis gold watch and about §7 of his money, he havirg lefe ¢ with bim for ra‘e-keeping while he went thesounds of the tows, Whelher he received bis injaries by a fall or by a genulne slaggirg scoms a matter of doubt, but the police reemed to favor the theory that the man took too many tumblers and tumbled. e — Dr. 8. Mosher, of the Sloux Oity Chronic Disease Institote, will be at the Scott house in this city, Thursday, April 2d. Will attend to, patients and all who are sfilicted will do well to give him a call. Consultation free. THE PUBLIO SOHOOLS. An Important Election to Take Place Monaay, Sandwiched In between an exclted city election and an fmportant court house elec'ion, comes an electlon no less im- portant, that which is to be held Mon- day. There ara to be at that time two members of the school beard elected, the terms of Mr. Mott and Mr. Pettibone expiring. Itisncedless to remind the citizons of the Importance of the educa- tional Interests of the city. Not only s there more money to be expended than in any other department of the city gov- ernment, but thero are the chaacters and the Intellects of the next generation in chsrgs. Clean handed, clear headed men should be choeen to take charge of theso Interests; men who are interested inand have knowledge of edacational matters. Mr. Mott and Mr, Pettibone are sald to be candidates for re-election, ~ While In many respects they are estimable cili- zens, yeot It seems that the public inter- ests would be bettsr met by a change. The objectlons agalnst them are notso much as to thelr personal character as to their officlal resords. It is claimed that they are largely responsible for too greay economy in some respects snd too little In others. It is not generally known in this city, nor will it generally be en- dorsed, that teachers are ‘‘do:ked” for every legal holiday. The board, not the teachers, direct what day ths schoo's shall be clcsed, and yet if the schools are olosed for a day, by order of the board, the teachers have theic wages cut down that much, although thelr time is not the disposal of the board, and they are ready to do the teaching which they sra employed by the month to do. THey are not employed by the day, and they get no extra pay for any extra hours they msy devote to school work. Under the law they could not thus be compelled to losy a day's wages, were it not for the fact that the school board in its contracts at the begin- ning of the year, Inserted this clauee. It is clalmed that nowhere elsa are teachers thus treated, and If this is so, it will not be long before other cities get Council Blufls' best teachers away, this oty never having pald as high wages as are paid elsewhere. The responsibllity of this short-stghtedness and close-fisted policy Is said to be dute to Messrs, Mott and Petttbone. In other matters, for some reason, thelr is sald to be lavishness. Take the coal contract for instance. It was underatood that Mr. Pettlbone, as purchasing sgent, had a contract all drawn up ready for signing, by which the board was to pur- chase all of the iImmense amount of coal needed of one firm, withovt getting any bids from others, TaE BEE aired up the matter at the time, and as a result, in- stead of a secret contract, some other dealers got a chance to bid, and it was given to snother firm at a lower price. If Mr. Pettibone, in go important a mat- ter, does not cara to advertire for bids and get the lowest possiblo prices, it seems that some one should be elected who will thus guard the school fund. More money conld be wasted by one foolish contract for coal than could be mada up in years, by taklng out of rome teacher’s wages a dollar cr so, for not teaching when the board, by closing the school for some legal holiday, prevented them from teaching. Another objection to Messrs. Mottand Pettibone is that they were the ones who preventsd the mission echools from occupying the school houses Sunday afternoon. These echools are un- sectarian, and doubtleas do mach good, gathering in boys and girlsa on Sunday afternoon, who would otherwisa be ran ning the streets. To strengthen the morals of the young, as well as to strengthen their Intellects will bea work which the board of education should gladly see succeed. These men do nob object to political meetings being held in court houses and other pablic, buildings erected for different purposes. Much indignation was excited dgainst Messrs, Mott and Pettibone at the time they locked the doors against thess mlssion schools, for they had been allowed to moet ia these bu ldings for years withoat molestation, To sum up. The people want school directors who will pay teachers a fair sal- ary, and pay it honestly and equarely, as others who are employed by the month are paid. Directors are wanted who, on making a purchase which rups up into thousands of dollars, to advertise openly for bids, and let the contract publicly to the loweet bidder. Directors are wanted who are broad enough guaged to let the people use the people’s houses, which have been paid for by the people's monoy, throwing, of course, about them sach re- strictions as will sscure the greatest good to the greatest numbor. o —— Afine organ, half price, at Beards' wall paper store, next to postofiice, e — Before you buy a harness call on Beck- man & Co., 5256 Main stroet. e —— OOMMEROIAL, OOUNOIL BLUFFS MABKET, Wheat—No, 1 milling, 65; No, 60; No. 8, 50, L Corn—New, 250, Oata—For local purposcs, 23c, Hay—85 00@6 50 per ton; baled, 50@60, Ryo—85e, Corn Meal—1 80 per 100 pounds, Wood—Good supply; prices at yards, 6 00@ 6 50, A Ooal—Delivered, hard, 9 50 per tonj soft 0 per ton Lard—Fairbauk's, wholesallng at 8§c, Flour—Oity flour, 1 50@3 90, Brooms—2 95@38 00 per doz, LIVE BTOOK, Oattlo—Butoher cows §35@3 75, Butoher stoers, 8 7564 00, Sheop—2 60@3 00, Hogs—4 00@4 £, et TS oul vo chickens, per doz. 800;!dress- od chickens, 8¢ dressed thrk o ed ducks, 9¢; dressed geese, Butter—Oreamery, 20@26 18@20: —27 per_dozen. ‘egetables— Potatoes, 50@26% per bushel; onlons, 60c per bu; apples, choi ot Orsagoa—S 02 por b Lemons: 5 00 ver box MANDEM AKER & VAN, ARCHITEQTS, CONTRACTORS AND BUILDERS No. 201 Upper Breadway, Councll Blufls, “MURDER MOST FOUL,” To Allow Anyone to Die of Diphtheria.
