HE DAILY BEE QOUNCIL BLUFFS. Wednesday Morningy Aoril 29, No, 12 Pearl Btreet. " MINOR MENTION, The Y. M. C. A. gave another of thelr pleasant entertalnments last evening. Dr. 8. Mosher, of 8loux Oity, is to be at the Scott house to-morrow to attend to the afflicted. Tiokets are selling well for the elocu- tlonary entertalnment to be given by Miss Jemsle Couthoui at the opera house May 8th. A, M. Wilson has commenced sult sgalnat the city for $10,000 damages to her property by reason of the overflow of the creek in 1883, The family of J. B. Atklns recelved a telogram announcing the desth of thelr daughter, Mary, at the residence of her grandmother at Boles Clty. Rev. N. F. Scallon, of Yankton, lec- tures In the Cathollc church this evening, his subject belng: *‘The Inflaeace of the Oathollc charch on clvil liberty.” He haa the reputation of belng a fine orator. The monthly confersace of the Omaha and Oouncll Bluffs Y. M. O. A. was held here Monday evening, and proved profit- able and Interesting, although the at- tendance was not as large as on some of the former occasions. Mr. and Mrs. Jno, Keller will enter-|c taln the members of Harmony Chapter No, 25, O. E. S., at thelr home, on Fourth street, this (Wednesday) evening. All members are cordially invited to at- tend. The dime museum and theatre not only opened well, but s Increasing In favor. The Georgla minstrels give an entertalnment which is well worth sev- eral times the nominal sum asked for ad- mittance. No wonder that the show draws blg crowds. The following persons will asslst the vlolinist and tenor at the opera house Friday night, May 1: Miss Onectah Mc Millan, of Vassar college, pianist; Misses Jones, Merkel, Tostevin and Gerner, vo- calists; Miss Julla Officer, accompanist. Renerved seats at D, W. Bushnell’s, Miss Mamie Craig, Miss Belle Hatcher and Miss S, D. Rehse are planning on having a loan art exhibition at the bulld- Ing No. 502 Broadway, next to Officer & Pusey’s bank, on Tuesday and Wednes- day, May 5 and 6, afternoons and even- Ings. The Misses Merkle are to glve sume cholce vocal muslc in connectlon with the exhibitlon. Mavor VAuGHAN having returned from his eastern trip, Is beset by inquirers 88 to what he Is golng to do about the saloons. He says he has not had any occaslon to change his position from that stated In an Interview with Tme Bre man just before his departure, and pub. lished at that time, This was In effect that he would act simply as he thought the people really wanted him to, and not merely to suit some faction or clique. On Monday a big fat slick talking in- dividual arrived in this olty and began working the merchanta for from $1 to $6 each for the privilege of letterlng their show windows with sosp, He pushed the soap In good style, having his busl- ness down fine, but the rain of Monday night washed the soap lettering off the windows, and tho big fat slick talking in- dividual on Taesday morning could not be found, having left for some dry weather town, Oouncll Bluf’s new patrol wagon still remains n the engine house, and there seems to be no immed!ate prospect of its belng used by the police, as there is no team, and no driver, and 1f there were there are not enough ooccasions to use 1t to pay for the expense of maintalning the service. As Omaha is talking of starting police patrol service perhaps it would be well to try and sell the wagon to that city, It s proving a foollsh Investment ¢+ present, at least, and by the time the clty needs the wagon it will be aged. ———— Artlsts' Materialsat G, R.

The 0id Fellows Celebrate their Sixty- Sixth Awniversary With Enthusiasm, Dedication of The New Hall Yesterday was a gala one for the Odd Fellows, it belng the sixty-sixth anniver. sary of the order, and the new hall belng roady for dedloatson. A large number of vislting brethren were here and the elaborate arrangementa for the day were oarrled out very happlly. The procession in the afternoon presented a beautiful sight, and was participtated In}by many, and witnessod by a large crowd of Inter- ented spectators. The day was an almost perfect one, and there seemed nothing to mar the pleasure. After the parade the services of dedleating the new hall, in the opera house block, were held, and were attended by a large namber of Iadies and gentlemen, The new hall s a vory pleasant and commodious one, al- though not 8o elegant an one as so flour- ishing an order should have in & city of this size. The prospect of the Odd Fel- lows within a short time putting up a bullding for themselves is probably a rea- son for not expending too lavishly on this hall, The new home, s, however, one which answers the present purpose well, and compares favorably with most lodge rooms, The services were In accordance with the programme glven in yesterday's Bek, and after the ritnalistle portions of it were carrled out there were exercises of a varled character. The music was ex- lent. The Bavarian band furnished the martlal music, and in the hall there was some cholce vocal musio. Mr. Wescott, who has as sweet a tenor voico as there s in the clty, gave a solo, which was enthu. sinstically recelved, and glven an encore. The Misses Merkel gave a fine duet, and the audience would not rest content until they called for them another. Mr. W. H. Treynor sang a grand bass solo, and received hearty applause. ~Mrs. Novada ‘Ward also favored the audlence with a well rendered song. The first address was by D, O. Bloomer and was an excellent one. It conslsted of a brief, clear, outline of the history of the order In this country, beginning with Washington Lodge No. 1, which started In with only five members, and which was still in active working order. Now the order has In (6 grown In this land, so that fully 8,000 lodges were this day jolng In the cele- bration of this anniversary, and the liv- ing members numbered 600,000. The speaker raised the question as to what had caused thls remarkable growth. It was not the fact that theve were secrets 1n the order, as there were many secret societles. The name kad not done it, as to many the name might be an objection, Instead of an attraction. He then read and commented on the definition of Odd Fellowshl given by Webster and by the American cyclopedia, and pointed out the faultincss of these definitions. The order was not a charitable soclety in the common acceptation of the word; that is it was not a mere alms- glving moclety. It believed in chsrity in the sense In which it was used by Salnt Paul—love for humanity. It was not a merely social organization, al though there was much good-fellowship In the gatherings, It was organized for the purposes of mutual rellef, based on & regular system of contributions and of disbursements. 1n 1883 there were pald out for the rellef of needy brothers over two million dollars, and since the ofgani- zation over sixteen millions, The main objkenu of the order were to care for the slck, to bury the desd, to provide for the widow, and to educate the orphan., The order was not Intended for a church, although it required a belief in God, and taught the practice of the virtues of right living. The growth of the order, and the many nd featares of the organization, ren- ored it most appropriate that this d. should be one of rejolcing and gladnes Dr. Harris, of Missourl Valley, also gave an address which was very timely, and was listened to with much Interest. He picked up some of the objections which had been urged against the order, and answered them in his happy, keen manner, making it plain that he had not been an Odd Fellow for forty years with- out seelng increasing beautles in the or- ganization, He declared there wore no secrets in the order any more than there were In a well regulated famlly, the purposes of the order, and its work being known to the world, and the only things which were kept within the lodge- room, were the minutiae of the workings, just as In a famlly, He gave a very py talk, and called out much enthu- tlo appla 'here were a goodly number of visitors here from other points, from Omaha, Plattsmonth, and from varlous places in Iowa, In the evening there was a grand ball given, which closed the festivities of the day. ~ The order observed the day in & very creditable manner, and one which reflected credit upon the clty. e — WHAT IS TO BE DONE ? The Saloon Question Still a Bother- some One, An attempt 1s belng made to collect | the back licenses for the qusrter ending [ 22 May 1st, a number of saloon men not naving paid, although the understanding was that they should psy in advance, The dellquents have been threatened with arrest and a fow of them have been thus induced to pay. One of the reasons of the backwardness in paylng has been the uncertainty asto what was to be done, the saloon men thinking that they might be made to close almost any day, and then their license money would be virtually theown awsy, the clty not be- ing able to offer them any protection if the prohibitionists should declde to close them up. The saloon men whe have pald grumble greatly about those who refase to pay, as they wisely say that aoy such refussl will cause an agl tavon, which will be quite spt to cause all the places to be closed, aud that the saloon men should be the last to start soy such agitation, It is expeoted that the prohibitionists will hold » meeting Thursday afterncon to decide on sume ocourse of action. It has been stated that one of the causes of delsy has been the tardiness in ralsing the needed funds, .|to business THE DATLY REK...0DINA v L ATmBYY AL and this has caused some wonder as to what the need might be for any amount of fands, as the getting out of injunc- tlons seems not a very expensive mode of litigatlon, under the prohibitory law, The resson for wanting a large amount of fands has been learned by the Bxe to be that it fs mot the plan to merely shut op the saloons, for this they think Is the easlest part of thelr proposed work, It is sald that they feel that the shutting up of the saloons will amount to but little, as there will be other o the thiraty ones to get thelr throat molst- ened, and the work of drylng up all the qulet fountains Is the really hard task, requiring much money and labor, 1t is said that they are planning to go for the druggists, if they oan find them violating the law in any respect, and that they will hunt up all the places where any drinks are belng sold on the sly, If thia is thelr plan, they certainly have under- taken a great task, and it Is not to be wondered at that they deem It neces to provice a Iarge fund before they start on the war path. There Is a good deal of wordly sense in the iden that even if the saloons are shat up the sale of Intoxicants will not be stopped, but that it will be snpplied to the public by other and more disteputa- ble channels. The reports from Des Moines are to the effect that while the prominent saloons are closed there are more drinking places than before, and that they are subject to no regulation, but are in the control of men who are reckloss enough to run the risk of prose- cation for the sake of the profits, which they make as large as possible, selling any sort of horrible decoctions and keep- ing the worst sort of holes, If the shut- ting up of the saloons {s slmply to have the trade In the hands of worse men, and conducted la worse the prohi- bitionists here think that the change is not what they want, and hence a goodly number of them are not in favor of mak- ing any more unless they are prepared to fight the battle to the bitter end, If thoee who thus think prove to be In a majorlty, the plans will bave to be made for a long campalgn, and much sand of all surts will be necessary. The many entanglements which necessarily surround the problem cause delay and slow move- ments. It is not expscted therefore that anything very rash will be done. There seems, however, to be a general deslre on allsides that something definite should be decided upon, as the uncertalnty exist- Ing preventa that permanent adjustment wei ls necessary to success. The council is on the anxlous seat, like all the others, and if the saloon licenses are to be knocked out of the city’s revenue, then they will need to declde on some new system for ralsing money enough to cover this shrinkage, either by taxing other lines of business, such as Insurance agents, real estate dealers, etc., or by some other scheme. Under the present clroumsatances all concerned are belng kept on the anxious seat, and they do not know what to pro- vide for. Hence they all seem ready to got at some ad?ustment of the trouble. e ——— Tea direct from Japan, at Taylor & Calef.
