ADDITIONAL CITY NEWS. o The O1d Lady's Dotage. The Omaha Brg is the only paper in this section of the country that refuscd to publish the Associated press report concerning the corporation of the Coun- il Blufis finprovement company or giv any notice of the enterprise.—Nonpareil, The above from dear old grandmother's serap book is another mstance of how far the old lady can get from the truth, There have been several such instances lately. Only a week ago. in one of her stolen editorials, the old Jady forgot to make what changes were necessary to make sense, and declared that “Mrs, Whitney owns an clegant residence on Fifth avenue in this city Tt is furnished regally, and is said to be worth 700,000." A short time ago the old lady in one of the pages of her serap-book. filled with old steoretyped plates, reproduced from the Bre a full deseription of the new county jail here, which had been g the rounds of the country press for sev epal months. The Nonpareil, in intro- ducing the degeription, declared that the new jail was located i Oma instead of Council Blufts The above paragraph is a like showing of the old | ‘s failing memoy The iles of the Bex show that this paper was e the formation of such a company, months before the project be- gan to take any shape. 1t has kept urg. ng the formation of the company since the organization has been the facts in detail, and giving publicity to them over a wide expanse of territory where the old lady has not an acquaint- ance and her serap-book not a reader. Of all the papers here the Bk can justly lay claim to being the father of this pro- Jeet, and lest some credit should be given the Beg, the snivelling old dame shows her dotage in this way. If the old lady would spend half as nueh time in getting fresh news for her little family of readers as she does using the shears and peddling lying -zossip about her neighbors, she would not have &0 much occasion to complain of the great falling oft’ of her friends and patrons, Sl e T After the Battle. an. 30.—The struggle for the postollice here has been attended by some hard feelings, some bitterness and much eargerness, but with the appointment of A. B. Keith as postmaster the struggle is declared virtnally ended, although he hag not been confirmed as yet. The sore spots are being healed, and passions have 80 cooled off that men arc able to talk over the contest, and even smile, Despite the disajpoiutments of other candidates, and their friends, there seems general satisfac tion at the outcome. Mr. Keith is & young man, who has shown much ability in his editorial management of the Crawlord County Bulletin, whose col- umns so sparkle that he has gained the raputation of being one of the sharpest, in the state. By his nen he not only has done much for his party, but tor Deni 1d henee there is much satisfrcti his getting the plum, he having earned it. s an indication that the cruel war is the ludicrous side begins to show up, and to-day there was hung upon the walls of one of the prominent business places here a big poster, whichattrac general attention and made much merri- ment, It consisted of the broad, smilin; face of onc of the comedians of 'S ip;wfi by the Light of the Moon,” and beneath the smiling countenance was printed the following: OUR NEW POSTMASTER! “Well I shoutd smile!”—A.

Fncouraging Manufactories, T'his cily takes the lead in lowa in being the first to encourage the location of new manufactories here by exempting them from city taxes. Ata recent mecting of citi 5 the action of the council was not only indorsed, but it was urged that the state jegislature should take similar action to relieve them from state s, It w expected that Senator Carson would pr sent a bill to this efivet. Such a bill by been introduced, however, by Senator McDonough, and it, or some similar one, will doubiless receive the hearty support of the senators and representatives irom this county. It provides as follow Seerion' L.

Aupia, Towa, Jan. 28, 1886.—[To the Editor:]—One of the greatest storm periods of the year 1886 will commence its ravages on February 24th or 25th and continue fully four weeks. The heaviest storms for that period will occur about February 25th and March 3d, 6th and 15th, with periods of comparative quict between those dates, These storms - will isit nearly ov part of the United tes and are likely to be I iest where the January storms were lightest. All shipping inferests, by railvoad, sea and lake, should guard against these storms. On the dates Igive above, these storms will pass a meridian drawn north and south through Omah:a. W. T.

Laght- hall, the “Diamond King” and medicine 1k 1 Antonio, Tox., and who left $50,000, closes a very remarkable career. Six years ago, Lighthall, then only 24 ars old, took the role of a “‘cure all” and sold what he called “Indian Oil” on the street corners. He made money and soon employed a brass band of eight )i to attract a crowd. He added to his stock a cure for consumption, tooth powder and blood purifier.

The band played during the operation, to drown the yells of th (- tient, Two years ago the party worked Nashville, Tefin., there being eight men two women in the band, among George Roberts, of Elmira, a reat favorite with the doctor. From shville the party arifted southward, when Lighthall discovered thiat another band of fak selling Indian oil. He then changed the name to Spanish oil and increased his company to sixty- one persons, by taking in several Span- iards, Indians, and Mexicans, and_there- after showed in a 100 foot round tent. Concerts were given while Lighthall was Kept busy passing out medicine and his assistant fakirs sold it among the audience. Big crowds were attracted everywhere, and money volied in very fast. The company oceu- pied tents, did their own cooking and “lived on the fat of theland,’ as Roberts expresses it The medicine, except the consumption cure, was manufactured at Peoria, Iil., by Lighthall’s mother and her third husband, Isaae Wright, former- ly a resident of Miilport, this county. From Peoris shipped in bat- rels to eamp, wher yut up in bot- tles and labeled. Lighthall’s father was a chief of the Tonawanda Indians, qu te ago he left his wife.
