The amount of improvements In this clty promises this year to boe greater than ever before in the history of Council Bluffs, Already & large number of dwelllngs are being erected, and the building improvements on the outskirts of the city are especlally notlceable, There are few if any carpenters in town but have all the work they can handle convenlently. There is atill a little bad blood between the police and the marshal's fores, Yes- terday one drunken 'man was arrested, and taken to police headquarters, there searched, and personal effects kept there, the ohlef claiming that the mayor had not countermanded hls order to that ef- fect. The marshal on the other band clalmed that under the ordinance the prisoner should have been searched at the jall and the effects put in the jailer's kecping. .

Street Talk Concerning the Mayor's Order, Acoording to the mayor's order, the gambling houses are to be cloted on and after 10 o'clock this evenlng. Ther soems to be many theorles a1 to what patticalar motive actuates the mayor in issuing this order, and many of the theo- ries advanced do not indlcate that any too great confidence is felt in the sincerity of themayor's motive In issuing the proe- lamation, Others advance {heorles which indicate a desire to make It appear that the mayor s actuated by some sor- did or selfish motive, and thus try and break down any moral support which the public generally may give to the proposed reform, With mapy it matters little what the mofive iz. They feel that It {s high timo to bring the gamblers Into a clear under- standing of the fact that the people will not allow them to run the town. If, as it secme, it is necessary to completely close these places In order to teach them this lesson, then they shall be closed. Among the gamblers themselves there seemed a general understandipg yester- day that they would obey the order and cloee their places. Some intimated that {t would not be leng before they were opened again, Others talked as though Councll Bluffs was was going to losea great deal by having the place shut up, and that Omaba would galn the trade, and in fact some charged that Omaha gamblers were at the boltom of the attempt to shut up the business here. As for hurting the legitimate [business of Oouncil Bluffs by closing up the gambliog housss no fear need be felt. Business men have long looked with alarm at the way clerks, and the wage- workere, laboring men, boys are be- Ing drawn Into these placzs, and dropped their hard earnings, and are led to pllfer from their employera to try thelr fortune again. Men who would otherwise pay thelr bills promptly equander thelr money, and the merchants are either de- frauded, or obliged to wait for thelr pa; ‘Whatever the motive of the mayor the move is a good one, and if he per- sonally hes any scheme, there will be time enough to get at that, and opportu- nity, but the move to shut up thelr places will not be stopped by trying to draw attention off from the gamblers and directing it toward the mayor, The better class of citizens, without regard to whether they like the msyor or not, w'll endorse the move and stand by it. 1f the mayor tries to use afterward for personal or political capital, 1t will be time toattend to that by and by. At present the question s whether the gam- bling koutes shall be closed or not. The demand is decldedly in favor of closing them. The mayor's reformatory orders also includes the closing of raloons at 11 o'clock every night, and all of Sundays. This has caused some flarry among the saloons, and was probably the rter of the jorder in regard to the gambling houses. The saloon men could seeno justice in closing at 11 o'clock when tne gambling houses kept open all night. Now some of the gamblers, lay- ing the cause of the trouble at the door of the sallon men, threaten that if the gambling housos are to be closed altogeth- er, the raloons must cloee, too, and that they will not allow the city to licente the saloons, in vlew of the state prohibitory law, unlees the gamingfjtables are allowed the freedom of the city. They threaten that if they,are closed all saloons must cloze, and they prediot that this will make Councll Bluffs so dull and cut off 8o mauch revenue from the clty that the citi. zens will gladly get the orders revoked. Yenterdsy a number of the saloon men pald the balance of thelr Jicense to May 1st, Last year the saloon men pald $100 each three months In advance, but on the 1st of Febrnary last moat, if not all who d, only pald 860, and now the other $50 is belng collected, paying up to May 1st. A few hang back, and informatlons are to be filed against these. Some still refuse to close at 11 o'clock at night. They clalm to haye lunch count- ers, which neceesitates keeping open all night. About 1 o'clock yesterday morning the police made the rounds, They found the back door of the Pha:nix unlocked, and going 1n there arrested George Smith, He promised to appear in court in the morning, Ed Sherlock, Henry Wagner's partner, was also put under arrast, and promised to appear 1o coure, Wm, Lacy refused to recognize the anthority of any arrest unless the officers had a warrant, Yesterday morning the cases were contln- ued antil next Monday. Just what will be the outcome does not appear clear. The mayor finds him- eelf criticised on one eide for doing one thing, and criticised on the other for not dolag another, If he has the nerve, however, to go right ahead, and tee to it that in all falr play the city is reformed, and that without any partiality the ordl- nances of the clty are carried qut, he will find many standing by him, —— Afine organ, half price, at Beards’ wall paper store, next to postoflice. e — Attention Ladies, While clo ing out my notlons, wili sell all hair goods at twenty-five per cent dis- count, 300 switches, 200 waves, bangs, etc., to eacrifice.
