Relter's new spring goods, The clty council got no quorum Satur- day cvening. The Oross cass will be called for trial at Glenwooa to.day. Seventeen lodgers were accommodated n the city jail Saturday ulght. The inmates of the *‘three niaes” have got out of town, *‘bag and baggage.” William King got too full to navigate and was placed in jail Saturday night. Rev, D. D. Proper, of Des Moines, preached in the Baptist church yesterday. A number of saloons were closed yes- torday, but the pets were running the same as usual, The adjourned meeting on the court house question will be held this evening in Masonle temple. Interesting quarterly meeting services ‘were held in the Methodist charch yester- day, Elder Smith officlating. The sermon preached Saturday Rev. J. T. MacKay is unavoldably left out to. day, but will appear to-morrow. John Linnehan, while making some im- provements on his property, No. 1,110 Eighth street, .fell from a scaffold and broke one of his legs, Wouldn't it be a guod idea tc com- pletely demolish the unsightly remnant ot the building 707 Broadway, that was some time since partly destroyed by fire? Vote for men who will let coal con- tracts to the lowest responsible bidder, and who will glve everybody a chance to know when bids are to be received and convracts let. There was communion services at the Congregational church yesterday morn- Ing. Ia the evenlng there was a service In the Interest of the Y. M. C. A., Prof. Baldwin of Des Moines, being the prin- clpal spesker. Davy Mottaz, the special pollceman at Bebbington’s lumber yard, says he never saw such a crowd on lower Main sireet late at night as he did on Saturday night at eleven o’clock when the saloons in that vicinity closed and all hands made a dash for home, Mr. Pettibone’s idea of a school houss fencs is a high tight board one, like those ‘which are put around the bawdy houses. This goes well with Mott's idea of a Sun- day echool being a place where children draw obscene plctures. Thore must be something very fascinat- ing about an office that has no salary when men will hire thirty or forty work- ers at the polls to secare their election. No salary, but lots of contracts to let and patronage to distribute. Mott's idea of a Sunday echool is very vague, as he has doubtless not attended one for years. He thinksall they do is to draw obscene pictures on the black- board and befoul the outhoutes, This is insult added to injury. 1t cost Oharles Adolf, of the Bachtele, several clgars yesterday for informing a gentleman that he was putting his letters into the mail box without any stamps on them, The envelopes were marked *‘of- ficial business, U, S. treasury,” and Charlie “tumbled” very gracefully. W. P. Aylesworth, beaides success- fully completing the ralsing of A. B. Walker's large brick resldence, {s now ralsing the residence of Mrs, Splegel, corner of Seventh street and Eighth avenue. It is to be raised seven teet, He has als) contracted to raise Thos, Of- ficer's large brick residence, The declsion In the case of Scofield & Cavin is, the clty does not affoct the pav- ing question as some suppose. It is simply the old grading cortificates that are Involved, the total amount of which is supposad to read $40,000, and the su- preme court may declde difierently from Judge Connor, The cass will be carrled up by the city. It is understood that of all the names mentioned for school directors only four remain—Casper and Bell on one ticket, Mott and Petttbone on the other. Mr, Casper has had¥ experience in school matters, and Mr, Bell is alsoa citizen who stands well among all classes, 1f eleoted, there is no doubt about their protecting and furthering the interests of the public, There is nothlng to lose, everything to gain, by a change. From J, L. De Bevolse, the unlon ticket agent at No. 507 Breadway, the Anteresting informatlon 1s gleaned that those holding emigrant or third.class tickets to California will now be allowed to stop over at points in that state ghort of destination, for the purpose of inspect- 1og lands with a view to settlement. By these new arrangements immigrants can stop over at any point in California for ten days. Mr, Pettibone's son Is sald to have boen given the job of filling up the ground of the Second ward school house, and also the one In the southern part of the city. Suppose that some other man isnow put In Mr, Pettibone's place, and some other man’s son given a part of this work. It might be just as well, The democraté especlally have been calling for a change. Buppose they help make one now, Itien t on the letting of coal contracts alone that thereis reason to complain It is stafed that while the comtract for cutting down the ground for the Stuts- man street school was let to Mr, Kelly for §1,000, still the board _allowed him over twice that amount, as he claimed he was losing money. Still, Mott and Pett!- bone make a geeat show of cconomy be- cause they ‘‘dock” & po-r teacher a fow nickels, There {s one cause of general satlafac- tion In regerd to to-day's school election, The question of superintendency does not seem to come into the election In any form, none of the candidates named hay- Ing any desire for a change, and none having sny pst whom they want to sup- plant the present superintendent. The attempt to get Clarendon back as superin. tendeat will not be made again probably, and it fs to be hoped that this has died out of school elections here for ever. This tine there is no pledging of candi- dates for or against any part!calar man for snperintendent. e —— Dr. 8. Mosher, of the Sloux Clty Chronic Disease Institatz, 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, T0-DAY'S ELECTION. Tmpartant Facts For Voters fo Con- sider, Mott Got Hot, Although there are not so many loaves and fishea for the ward workers to scram- ble after as in an ordinary city election, yet to-day’s school election 18 no lees im- portant, and every voter should see to it that his ballot is cast for good men and true. The school board disburses more money and controls more patronage than any other department of the city gov- ernment. Financfally 1t s of the utmost importance that the best citizens be chosen as directors. The dutles of di- rectors are arduous aud the pay nothing, 80 that when men ara so anxious to get the position that they will use column after columu in the pavers to help their candldacy, the effort 18 looked upon with suspiclon, Not only are the pocket books of the present generation largely in the hands of the directors, but the heads and hearts of the uprising generation. Financially, intellectually, morally, to-day’s election is therefore of greater Importance than the mere favoring of the wishes of two men, who want to keep in office. Tue BEE called attention to the official record of the two mea whoss term mnow expire. It eaid not a word agalnet their private record but, in fact, spoke favor- ably of that. Their official career is pub- lic property and Tue BEE troated it as such frankly and honestly. 1n response one of the two, Mr. Mott, devotes a column of the Nonpareil to abusing the Councll Blufls’ editor of Tae Bee. For this abuse THE BEE man cares not & whit, for 1f aman 1s so ashamed of his officlal career that ho gets mad when the record s glven to the publlec to whom 1t belongs, then let him get mad. In his rage, however, he should not so far forget himself as to make foolish and false state- ments, Tue BEe was not *dlsappolnted in not getting a lady friend electad as teacher in our schools.,” No such ap- plicatlon has been made, no hint of such a wish even was ever made, and in fact no such lady existed to the knowledge of TrE BEE man, In fact every word, let- ter and intimation connected with th: statement is false, and no one of the di- rectors, or any one elec can produce any evidence to support Mott's charge. The attempt to mislead the public by making any such false statements, and by puttiog such a false construction on the motive of THE BEE man, shows into what straits desperats ambitlon wlll lead an office-seaker. The statement is false, but if true It would count for nothing, It does not change the facts of the official records of Meesrs. Mott and Pettibone, In his statement Mr. Mott does not deny the thrae facts stated in Tue Bek. First, that teachers are *‘docked” for every day In which the board orders the echools closed. A practice In existence no where else in the state. Second, that the board has not adver- tised for bids for farnishlng the immense smount of coal used by the schools. Third, that they are responsible for misslon schools being forbidden the use of the school bulldings under any circum- stances Mr. Mott merely seeks to explain theee. He says the law requires the “‘docking” of the fow nickels from the hard-worked and not over-paid teachers, A year ago this *‘dockiog” was trled, but falled, as it was not n the teachers’ contracts, and it was conceded that under the law the board could not deduct the few nickles sought to be taken, This last year, Mott and Pettlbone, knowlng that the law was not sufficient, and that it mus be done by spacial contract, made the teachers sign an agreement to that effect, or else they would not employ them, Why the need of these special contraots if the general law was sufficlent? Such parsimony is not shown to employes in other places, and it {s not common to the employment of peraons in either pub- lic or private houses. 1t is predjudiclal to Council Bluffs; it is a part of the llib- eral pollcy which enables other cittes to get some of our best teachers awa) In regard to the letting of coal con- tracts, amounting to thoueands of dollars the county, the deaf and dumb Institu- do! nd other publio institutions get bide, go that the public treasur: saved all poseible cxpense, r. Mott does mot deny that a contract was drawn up ready for signivg, without any adver- tising for bids, ~After The Bee exposed the matter, thea the prices of other deal- ers was obtained, but not till then., Tug Bee believes In lettiog all have a chauce to bld, and then letting the contract so as to save the clty all possible expense, W1 regard to mission schoole, the only excuse Mott and Pet fbone offer is that the result of mission schools {s “‘that children’s bocks and slates are carried off, obscene characters made on the black- boards, outhouses befouled, ete " | This if true would show a depth of immorality among the young which demands more moral lostitations. Just how children in & Sunday school would pe engaged in drawlng obscene pictures on the black- boards, does not appear. This excuse is too gauzy, The fact 1s that when the people whose money bullds the school houses petition forthe privilege of having a mfssion scheol, wherethey pay extra for the oxtra expanse, where they pay the janitor for taking charge of the building Sundsy as on other days, where they Jffer bonds of retpontible ci'izane, cover ing any poesible damege to public or private proparty, why are not the people allowed to uee the people’s house, just as throughout {he country, where there are no other buildings to use. School houres ara used not merely for rellgious services, bat for political meetings. ——— Afine organ, half prics, at Boeards’ wall paper store, next to postoffice. S — PEKSONAL, J.
