The park commissloners are waiting until they have some money in the new park fund before they can do much in the way of improvements, They are getting a survey of Ieland park, and are planning some great improvements there, which will make It a popular resort. With small expenditures, wisely bandled, Oouncll Bluffs can soon gain a wide rep- utation for the beanty of ils pleasure drives and its parks, Arrangements should be made for somo systematle cleanlng of the paved streets, 8o that when It Is dry weather there will not be so much dust flying, and when it rains there will not be so much mud, In other clfiss the paved streets are kept #o clean that a rain slmply washes off the little dirt that may chance to be on the streets, making them cleaner than ever, Instead of making several inches of mud, as is the case here. Officer Kirk had quite a struggle ye- terday with a man giving the name of Dragoo, who had just pald oft a chattle mortgage on some stock, and having some money left, proceeded to fill up with fiehting whisky, and got so much on board that he was golng to throw brick- bats at some who offended him and shoot others. He gave the officer a hard tussle, and his wind had to be choked off two or three times before he could be landed in the cooler. There ls at the police statlon a young man, who appears to be out of his head. He was found lying in the rear of the masgonle building, and seems reticent as to himself. Yosterday he was questloned asylum of Cook county, Illinols, and that he had run away from there. He also stated that he had once been in the ponl- teutiary at Jollet, but weuld not say for what crime. He glves his name as Wil- liams, and will glve no information as to his home or relatives, A young man glving his name as Eugene Evans hired a horseand buggy at Bennett's livery stable, Thursday even- ing, and not having money to pay for it, was preparing to return the rig to the stable by a boy, when one of the em- ployes at the stable collared him and forced a settlement. The young fellow drew a check on one of the banks, and offered Ithls, but it appearing that he probably had no money In the 1t was Insisted that he must put up some of his clothing, which he did, going off in a sadly un- dressed condition, He was afterwards arrested, and as a final compromise he himself personally to decide. The mayor assured the clerk that he had many friends in and out of the coun- oll, but that there wasdanger of the city’s Interests sufforing, and his friends there- fore thought it best for him to retire. He suggested that Mr. Troutman be em- ployed to assist the new clerk, and to help the olty attorney in some cases pending In the court. the perlod of sach employment to continue three or four wooks., Several of the aldermen spoke favora- bly of this suggestion, but while Mr. Troutman expressed himself as willing to help the new clerk as far as possible, and give him any needed informatlon, still he waa expecting to leave the olty, and get employment elsewhere, and he counld not, under the circumstances, accept of such a temporary posltion as was suggested. The new clty clerk, Mr. Dalrymple, then took his seat and proceeded to keep the minutes, while the old clerk dlsposed of papers on the table with which he was more familiar, The squabble in regard to the chief of the fire department is to be dlsposed of later. Itis clalmed that this lssue has somoe phases pacullar to itself and differ— Ing from those In the clerk’s contest. The old olerk clalmed to hold his office by virtue of the statutes, while the chief holds under a clty ordinance. The ml- nority of the councll, by its actlon, have conceded that they werein the wrong about the conmstructlon of the statute, but they are not yet willing to concede that they are wrong In their vlews as to the ordinance under which the old chief holds onto the office. It has been a hard dose to swallow, in regard to the clerk, and it is hardly to be expeeted that they would willingly swallow the other d:se, to the chief of the fire department. The bonds and oath of the new poll~ tax collector, C. J. Beckman, were pre- sented, approved and filed. The clty attorney presented a number of reports on suadry matters. Alderman Bhugart offered a resolution cord of the nuwber of dirt tickets iesued by him, so that the city could know at any time its liability In this re- spect. Adopted unanimously. The question of sewering Fifth avenue, 80 that the new court house could be ac- commodated, was referred to the com- mittee, 8o that a plan could bs presented next Monday night, for securing the im- provement. The mayor called attention to the fact that the Iowa press association was to meet here June 9, preparatory to start- ing on its western trip, He thought the newspaper men should be enter- teined in fa manner becoming to such a clty and such an important gathering. Be wanted the councll to take some appropriate action. ¢.0n motion of ;Aldermsan Siedentopf, the mayor and the whole councll were appointed a commlttee to arrange for entertalning the gentlemen, in conjunc- tion with the board of trade. The councll then adjourned, and the aldermen as a bosard of equalization went to work on the assessors’ books, ——— Tired of Life, News reached this oity yesterday of OLD JOHN ROBINSON, COCKE & MORGAN 347 Broadway, Council Bluffs, iy Goods Must Go Cocke & Morgan wlll make prices this week that cannot bo daplicated.

The Contention Over City Clerk Ended and Dalrsmple Seated, The Chieftainship of the Fire De- partment Still in Dispute, Arrangements for Entertaining Towa Editers-Other Doings of the Council, For the first time in several days the slx aldermen managad to all get into the councll chamber at one time, yesterday afternoon at a little past 4 o'elock, the |* hour set for the daily meetlng, The mayor was in Omaha, and it was Inform- ally declded to walt until the arrival of the dummy train, 8o as to give him a chance to be present. The time of wait- ing was spent In whispered coasultations a8 to what should be done, and how the squabble should be settled, _On the arrival of the mayor, Alderman Siedentopf requested that the mayor should call the roll, as there was a dfs- pute about tho clerkship, and they did not care to recognize Mr, Troutman as clork, The mayor did so, first stating that the matter had been settled and Mr, Troutmwan would retlre at the closs o the meetlng, or the passage of the resolu- tlon which hod been prepared, Alderman Siedentopf then presented the resolution, which read as follows: Whereas, There seems to be a frlendly but honest diffierence of opinion exlsting as to the rights and powers of the coun- cll to elect annually its subordinate ofticers, and Whereas, The clty's Interests are being neglected hd’ r n‘mn of eald difference of opinion, and as it is imperative by statute that the board of eqnnllpzntlnn ma{t daily, therefore bo it ) Resolved, That E, A.
