To Clothing Dealers—We are now pre- pared to furnlsh Rubber Clothing in any quantity wanted, Z, T. Lindsey & Co., Councll Bluffs, Towa. J. G. Clark, the fellow arrested on |P: sasplelon of being a burglar, and having in his possession a brace, bit and plane, is now lying in the county jall as a vagrant. The new clerk made another formal demand on the old olty clerk, yesterday morning, to tarn over the office, books, and papers, but the old clerk refused, and held on. Wood is 8o scarce for fuel at the fair grounds that, it s reported, those who remaln there with the horses are tearing down fences, etc., to build fires to do their cooking, etc. Tom Horan, Tom Bonstead, — Stephens, Maring, Andrew Thomp- son, John McLaughlin and John Hosen were fined yesterday for being practically autl-prohibltionists, Thomas H. Paste, who has already been to the asylum at Mount Pleasant twice, Is agaln being examined by the board with a view of sending him back, his head seemling to trouble him agaln. Three carloads of horses arrived yes- terday for the running meetlng, making over fifty horses now at the track, and there is every assurance that when all are here there will be over a hundred, the finest gathering of running horses ever seen in this part of the country. The district court was to have met here this morning, but in accordance with a telegram from Judge Loofboarow, who s at Des Molnes, the court will be ad- journed until Friday morning, and the jury will be excased until next Monday, as there Is some doubt as to whether the judge will be here before that day, the judictal contest now occupying his atten- tion, and it betng uncertaln when it will end., Little Fanule Cade, aged about thir- teen, dled yesterday after an illness of nearly two months. Her case was a pe- cuilarly sad one, the illness seeming to have been caused by jumping rope, she having gone beyond her strength in jumping the rope over two hundsed times without stopping to rest. The vlolent and continued exerclse seems to have fected her stomach, and at last ulceration resulted, and finally death. Thera have been many suralees about the old well found on Pearl street, The Bek learns from an old resident that the well was in use when the Bloom & Nixon hall was built, and that afterwards it was covered, and a force pump set In the sidewalk for public accommodation, the pipe leading to the wellin the street, bat after a while the pump was locked, 80 that it could not be used, and soon aftar was ramoved altogether, being con- sidered a nulsance. The well was left covered over, This was In 1873, T. K, Stateler, of Des Molnes, the travelling passenger agent of the North- ern Paclfic railway, was one of the callers at the BEk offico yettorday, and kindly supplied the office with copies of two new pablications, iswed in the In- terest of the road, but con* taining much Interesting reading matter, in regard ts the scenery and attractlons of the far west, and needed informatlon in regard to all matters concerning which any one intending to take a trip would be glad tolearn, Ope s entitled *“The Wonderlaud Route,” and the other “‘Alice’s Adventures in the New Wonder- laud,” and both are very attractive pub. licatlons, which may be had by abyone requesting M, Stateler to do so. ——— Substantial abstracts of ttlos and real estato losus, J.

The City Council Caretally Avoias & Quoram. There were a number of intereated spoctators waltlog at the oity bullding at 4 o'clock yesterday afternoon for the promised meeting of the clty counell, which body had adjourned until that time, Among the waiters were the mombers of the county board, and the county attorney, who desired the council to take some immedlate actlon in regard to having a sewer laid on Fifth avenue, so that the new court houss and jail might be provided for in this respect, the board not wanting to go ahead with the bu'ldings until this should bs settled. Among the other anxlous waiters was the old city clerk, Mr. Troutman, who was in his chair and accustomed place, while the new clerk, Mr. Dalrymple, held down a chalr instde the raillg and busied himself quietly reading an old volume of the clty crdinances, A minute or two before 4 o'clock Alderman Myns- ter peeped into the building and de- parted. About ten minutes later Alder- man Gelse put in an appearance and took hls t, patiently waitlng, while the outsiders present put in thelr tifne chatting and wonderlng whether the ab- sent mayor and other aldermen were afrald to come together and have another clatter, 3 At half-past 4 o'clock Suporvisors Rishton, Jones, and Trum put out 80 as to catch the train for home, leaving Supervisors Kirkwood and Graham to wait tor and work with the counc'l. The clerk recelved a telephone me from the mayor about that time, stating that he had missed the dummy and could not get over from Omaha, and that the councll had betrer be adjourned untll 7 m. On learning this, the walting crowd dispersed and all business went over to the evening session, Another attempt was made last even- ing to secure a quoroum of the council. The mayor and two democratic aldermen were present, but the republlcan mem- bera did not put in an apperance. The council s to meet again at 4 this afternoon. ——— To the Public. My wife, Mary Gerdes, having left my board and bed without cause or provoca- tion, I hereby notify the public that I will not be responiible for any bills con- tracted by her. HEeNRY GERDES Councir BLurrs, Ta., May 16, 1885, THE PARTY CRY. Those Who Ralse it Have Not the Right Sort of a R In the unpleasantness which is now troubling the city council and offizials, the cry has been raised that there being a republlcan majority In the councll, an attempt is belng made to use this power for party purposes. The BEE has never been partlean in local matters, and regrets that the present attempt of some is made to drag in party matters, but If this issue is to be the war-cry, the facts should be understood fairly. The present council has had the choosing of four officers, and, although there ara four republican mem- bers and two democratic, an equal di- viston has been made, two officers of the democratic persuasion being chosen, and two republicans, the newly elected chief of the tire department being a democrat, and also the clty physiclan. The city clerk and the poll-tax collectors are re- publlcans, {Such is the division of the honors by the councll, although having a republi- can msjorlty. Last year there was a democratic majorlty, and there was not a single republican who was given anything, and one of the last acts of the old council was to put into democratic hands the work of compiling and printing the or- d!nancas, although the work Is necessari- ly one which falls under the supervision of the new councll, and must be settled for by the new councll. It does not come with good grace for anybody to thus try to make a party fight in these matters, but 1t comes with peca- liarly bad grace from the democratic members of the council, who were aleo members of the old councll with such a record, and they ought to drop this part of their squeal as being inconsistent and too baby like. PERSONAL. | Dr. Poulson has roturn® from California, and will remain here for a few weeks. Fremont Benjamin, the Avoca attorney, was in the city yesterday, accompanied by his wife, J. 8. Goshorn, the adjuster for the Cedar Rapids insurance company, was in the city yesterday, Mra, E. A, Troutman and children have gone to Peoria, I1l,, to visit her friend, Mis, .

H, Tinley aud oldest son expect to start for California on Monday next on account of Mrs, Tinley’s poor health, The many friends of Bob Huutington now have a chance to congratulate him 1o earnest, he havieg st captured for his bride one of Davenport's favorite daughters, Otls Haynes and his son, I, A, Haynes, have ceturned from a month’s visit in Ne- braska, Mr, Otis Haynes being now connected with the western mutual benevolent associa tion, William Maxfield, of Norwalk township, has been presented by his wife with a twelve- pound boy, Mr. and Mrs, Maxfield are ac- cumulating much rich treasure for their old age, having now twelve children living, Mrs, R, E. Adolf left last evening for Ken- neth, Kas,, to jomn her sou Charles, who is getting his stock farm well underway, Her other son, Johu W. Adolf, accompanied her to Omaha and eaw her safely started on her Jjourney, and then returned to remain here, The Assessment, The assesiors have comploted thelr books and turned them over to the board of equalization, The total aseessed val- uation of the city, as it sppesrs from e books, ls $4,002 846, and the total d valuation as shown for 1884 way 10, the lncrcase over last year thus belng £139,960. This does not seem to bemuch of an increase, considering the bullding Improvements made here and the rlse in the value of property, but from the assessors It Is learned that some of the outside, wunim. proved property has been reduced a little, the former assessments on this claes of property being deemed too high. It is also thought that the aesessed valuation {s not. on an average, more than 25 per cent of the real cash valusticn, and if this s trae the total cash valuatlon of the property in the city is over §16,000,000. In view of the clty’s needs the board will probably make a general raise, and bring the amount up to somewhere near what should be. Bottlea Be ._ The elegant delivery wagon of Ed Maurer's extensive bottling works of Omaha, was vislble on the streets here yesterday. Mr. R. O. Lange, who s manager of the new establlshment, was skowlng up some of their excellent Tony Faust's bottled beer which in quality and purlty excels any bcer made in the Unlted States, and s cqual to any im- ported beer.
