Mayor Vaughan, whose term is about to expire by the will of the pecople and by kindly providence, sent his resignation to the newspaper oflices, ns a free advertisement of some book that he is about to publish, and which is going to take all his time. The council at its last mecting made in- uiry as to whether any such document Sad boon filed with the clerk, and coula f(:t no information of its existence, further than what they had scen in the papers. Alderman Mynster, as president of the council, has béen recognized as the acting mayor, until Colonel Chap- man takes his seat. Mayor Vaughan lett for New York the first of the week., Now after resigning the ofi of mayor, and a mayor temporaril 2z, and & new mayor about to come in, another remark- able document i ic, purpor ing to be a veto fi y with the city_clerk, allegi igned by “W. R.” Vaughan, mayor, or's _oflice, Council Bluffs, March 9, 1836, This al- leged veto is on the ordinance pusse Monday night by the council muking the salary of the city enginecr $1,250, and that of the city attorney a like amount, ad of $1,000 as before. The little mayor of my cit, to be capable of doing xuany thing this is latest double act sen: ‘The ground sot up for the allege is that it is a dangerous precedent to e: tablish. 2 ugh the veto does not contain anything about his new book, nor about the amount of paving and street filling which has been done while he has been mayor; not a word how much he hus done for the working- men. This causes the document to be looked on with suspicion nd it ean hardly redited as having been tunlly written by the mayor, his marks being so startlingly absent. Pt g L seems A Botched Job. The newly-published book alleged to contain the city ordinances, compiled and codified, has been pretty thoroughly e amined, and the council, as well as oth- ers who have seen it, sustain the criticisms made by the Bee. Thebook contains a great deal of dead matter, many ordi- nances being printed which are of no sort of uso now, and the matter thrown to- ether, is stretched out until it takes twice ¢ space that it ought. The contract was with Col. Keatley to do the work of com pilation and codification for $500, und the Globe to do the printing, the bill of the latter being over $1,000. The council has justly rejected the book, as not up to contract. The job was given as a fat take for the democratic organ, but it proves to bo rather a loss. ~ The chief ault is laid at the door of Col. Keat! r. the printers being supposed to simply follow copy, and the compiler being re- sponsible for the preparing of the copy and the reading of proofs. Mr. Bowman himself frankly adwmitted to the council that the work was a boteh, und scemed disposed to do anything that was fair in the matter. The work had cost him over $500 alroady, and he wanted to arrangoe some way of ‘iming out of it whole. He acknowledged that it not the kind of o book which the contract called for, and wasnot one of which he was proud council talked thematter overinfor with him, and at last docided to ad on the agreement that the should go ahe. nd get out a book which conie ub to the contract, - Personal I’ Dr. Roy Name ot Shenandoah was in the city yesterday.

BOTCHED MUNICIPAL PRINTING. The Row Over Raising Salaries—An Alleged Veto—The Wabash Changes—Other Doings In the Bluffs. Raising City Salaries. The attempt to raise the sa city attorney and city engineer at the last meeting of the old council called out a spirited diseussion. The previous reso- lution called for the preparation of an ordinance making the salary of each of these officers $1,500, instead of $1,000. This ordinance was accordingly pre- sented. There were only five members of the council present. and it required th unanimous vote to suspend the rules for the passage of the ordinance. It was the last show for passing such an or uance, for with the incoming of the new officers such a rase would be ill('g:l\l during their term of office, so that it meant then or not for two years to come. Alderman Shugart alone held out against sich a raise. His position was that it shoula have been done before election, if at all; but that when the matter was weeks ago referred to a committee it de- cided not to do anything about it, g\n-l the committee did not even report. Now that men had run for the office, and been elected, with the unders mlinfg that the salary should be %1,000, he did not be: lieve that it was fair o rd ' although it might legally be done. 'L salaries of the mayor and other city officers was too low, but there was no de- mand for a raise of these, and he did not believe it right to just raise these two. The city attorney waxed warm. He knew that many of nds had for him with the distinet unc that the ) he had been given the same long ago by all the aldermen exc: Shugart. ~There was a great deal more litigation_here than in Des Moines, « yet that city paid $2,400. Council B id less than any city in the state. had been more work than in any prey ous year, and the coming year promised a great deal more. 1f the council proposed out a depleted treasury by taxing veral hundred dollars by actually robbing him of his justcarnings, he could stand it as well us any one. He shoulda stand by the people, but if the council was going to pinch him down to nothing, they must tal the consequences, He should feel at liberty to resign at any time, and then the city could employ some attorney and sce” what it would cost Alderman Shugart ofiered to compro- \t voting for a salary of $1,250. 5 was s 28 attor- ney for the Ith, which anounted to about $250 last year, so that tai would be about the same as be- fore. Mr. Holmes would not stand this, He didn't want to have any compromise He would donate the $250 to the church- es if the council wanted to go_into that sort of business. The city engineer’s sal- ary should, however, be made $1,500. 1t was an outrage to make it any less. The ordinance was at last amended so as to make the salary of each $1,250, and thus it was passed by a unanimous vote. The city attorney then warned the re- horters not to announce that he had had i ary raised. It had not been raised. For theamount named in the or- dinance the y_amounted to about what he received” last year, for now he had to do all the work for the board of th, without any of the oxtra compen- ion 'which was allowed him_last year. 'he city engincer’s oflice is growin more and more important ye: there is no doubt that an engine attends to his duties earns much more than he receives. P The office of city attorney is also be- coming very laborious, and the salary is indeed small, Aldornian Mynster opénly declared that if the salary was raised to $1,600 and he was offered the position he would not look at it. The Sz\ll\l‘?‘ even then would not compensate for the loss of rivate patronage and the amount of la- or involved. L Substantial abstracts of title and real estate loans. J. W. & E. L.

About 11 o’clock in the forenoon Mr. Percival was in hi whllice consnlt- ing with Judge Ca about matters of business and ex: ning some papers. Mr. Percival was seated at the table, his hand resting on his head, when he sud- denly groaned with pain, as if his head was bursting, and stag; ng to his feet exclaimed “this 1sawful.” Judge Ca helped him to reach asofa and as he suffering intensely insisted on having him taken home, but Mr. Pereival said it would be over in afow minutes, and a moment later he sunk into a comatose state from which there was no arousing, zo was summoned and Mr, Pe; cival was taken to his rooms at the r dence of Mrs. Sanders on Eighth stre Drs.

He eyed the woman contemptuonsly for a few seconds, und then sauntered back to the Union Pacific car, which was standing upon the track. The next mo- ment the car window was raised, and a black head and glistening, white teeth were protuded, and a clear, tenor voice trolled out: “If she drink not gin with me, What care I her grin to see.” “Dat’s jess like dat ole Bill King," Josie as she said paced to and fro upon the platform., ~ “He tings I'm stuck on drinkin' his ole gin.
