Now that the weather permits new and permancnt signs are taking the place of the mushn s hat were hurriedly put together to advertise the real estate firms during the beginning of the great rush for Council Bluffs real estate, There is some uneasiness as to when the fire and volice alarm is going to be tested and the system either approved or disapproved. The old counci! will prob- ably let the matter go over to the new one. In the meantime the system can be informally tested, and kept in use. Deputy Sheriff O'Neill started last nignt with three of his boarders for Fort Madison, where he is to leave them. Whipple, Paxton and Fales formed the trio. Jimmy hated to part with them but 50 long as they had to go he seemed to feel better about having them change to Fort Madison than to any other place. Bob Graham and Burt Tostevin had a lively time hunting ducks. Their horse ot 80 interested in waiching them that he stood on his hind legs, the better to see how they were getting along. He tumbled over backwards, into the buggy, smashing it so that they had to ride home horseback, tandem fashion. The boys yesterday sat on the softest cushions they could find in Hattenhauer’s while watch- ing the wicked buggy being patched up. Two smart follows were arrested Sun- day night for disturbing the peace of the Salvation Army meeting. Those who go to these meetings simply to be enter- tained should not try to give an enter- tainment of their ‘own.” They never make a success of it and their efforts are not appreciated. Someway the rest of the audience do not realize how smart these smarties are. On account of the verdancy of the two fellows arrested Sun- day night they were allowed to go free after being given a short lecture. The new council will probably proceed to elect a street commussioner. “The city should select some good man, pay him well for his time and see to it that {m de- votes his time to the city. The nced of more attention to the condition of streets is becoming more apparent daily. What is everybody’s business should be placed in the hands of some one good man, who will see to it that the streets are looked aftcr. If not there is hiable to be & suit which will cost the city more thy one month’s salary for a stréet commis- sioner. -Fourth street for a block south of Broadway is in a deplorable condition so far as sidewalks are concerned. This is one of the most valuable blocks in the city, and if there is need of sidewalks anywhere there is the location. It seems strange that this portion of the center of the city should be allowed to remain year after year a disgrace, when the property can well afford the expense of the best sort of walks, The council should see to it that the bad spots are supplied with needed improvements, There is oue lot in front of which there has been no sidewalk for years, and pe- destrians have had to wade through mud there season after season. ‘I'he lot is a yaluable one, and if the owner, whoever he is, has not the enterprise to build a walk the city should build 1t and tax it up. There are several poor excuses for walks, und several bad places where a rson’s life und limbs are jeopardized. ight in the heart of the city to allow such a state of affairs is a sad comment on the enterprise clmimed for Council Blufts. ——— One of the most valuable corner busi- ness lots on Broadway can be had at a bargain if taken soon, Inquire at No. 41 Main street. o e Store your Heating Stoves with Cole & Cole.

ALL PROPOSITIONS DEFEATED. Ex-Policeman Morse Disturhed By a Burglar—The Work On the Levy Commences To-day— Last Night's Ccucil, The School Election. The school election yesterday did not excite the interest which its importance demanded., Many did not go near the polls fand there scemed Dittle of that ani- mation which causes a full expression of the will of the people. A early hour in the morning there was a move made for starting in some tickets bearing the f some lady as one of the dircet- ors, The suggestion was in muany re- speets an admirable one and one which would have met with much favor had it been made earlier. It came late and the group of enthusiastic citizens hardly knew how to handle it. It was decided, however, to have some tickets printed with the name of Mrs. Jacob Sims as one of the members of the school board, As Miss Squire she had been one of the most successful and popular teachers here, and her name for such a position would have been voted willingly by many, but consultation with some’ of her fricnds! and the fact that it was late to makesuch a move eaused the decision to be changed and the tickets were withdrawn, The fact that no registration was re- quired for this ciection caused some dis- cussion and no little confusion. There was much difference of opinion as to the details of voting., Various old registra- tion books were used and voters who had to swear in their votes found after- wards that their names were on the books. So far as known no one was pre- vented from voting, but the election was ns satisfactorily conducted. report that it had been *d by some who i looked up aw carefully t o al registra- tion was nceessiry, and that for lack of it the whole election was illegal. The 1umor went so far that it was reported an injunction was to be served on the board” to prevent the canvassing of the vote. The following was the result by wards: Macrae, 76; 73; Bryant, 85; Rain, 169; Lawson, 151; DeHaven, 152, st proposition for 33, against 195, :cond proposition for 74, agmunst 150, Third proposition for 87, against 132, Total votes cast, 243.

The interest awakened here in the White Cross movement promises to re- sult in some practical geod being ac- complished. It is not probable that Council Bluffs 1s worse than other cities, nor is there any more need of greater social purity here than elsewhere. Still, those who are acquainted with the local happenings, as those mnecessarily are who gather the news from ull parts of the city, realize that there is enough 1m- morality and indecency here to demand some practical reform. Hardlya day passes but that the reporter sniffs some unsavory odor, whether he wants to or not. There 18 much scandal in the air, and many good reputations sufler at the hands, or rather the tongues of the gos- sips, but there arve aside from the work of the gossips, many actual occurrences which point to the need of a movement of reform in education and habits. Within a very short time the papers of this'city have had two excellent opportu- mties for furnishing sickening, scanda- lous sensations to their readers, if they cared to deal in that kind of reading. In both cases the young men were from the best families here. The feelings of friends, the hopes that the yonng men would save their reputations by future well behavior, has caused the matters to be passed over lightly. The instances are referred to simply as illustrating how the best young society of the city is cmE honeycombed. Rev. T. J. Mackey has been making a strong push for a helpful reformatory work. Mrs. Cole, of Mt. Peasant, has also been turning public tbought to this subject, The address delivered by her in St, Paul's church some months ago, and the one delivered by her Sunday night in the Presbyterian church, were both strong appeals for United effort to stay social evil. She is one of the pleasantest public speakers who ever addressed the people here. Her reasoning is clear, and her diction is beautiful. Such ab earnest und honest worker with her abilities can but accomplish much in inciling to thought and action, Besides her public addresses she has been giving some uddresses to the ladies, und arranging the necessary preliminary work for organization for permanent work along this line. J. W. Morse Not Only Loses Bleep But His Pocket Book and the Thief. Shortly before 1 o'clock yesterday morning the residence of J. W. Morse, No. 100 Bluf street, was entered by bur- glaris by a window. Mrs. Morse was awakened by smelling something burn- ing and discoverea a fellow standing in their bedroom facing the dressing case and holding a match in his hand, by the fiickering light of which he was evi- dently taking a survey of the probabili- ties for plunder. She awoke her hus- band, who jumped out of bed to grab the fellow, but the mm?nr was a little too nimble and he went'out of the room and jumped out of the window, Morse a close second, - Morse was not in travel- o mg trim and the fellow liad a great ad: Yantage over him in respect to clothing. There was little to do but o examine as to what had been taken. Morse found that the fellow had been deliberately in- specting the rooms, as a I:u'lgc- number of burnt match were scattered about. The fellow had gone through the pockets of Morse's pantatoons, and had taken his pocketbook containing $45, and a little bag in which there was 60 cents in change. Yesterday morning the empty pockethook was found on Fourth strect nearly in front of John Keller's resi- dence. Morse has done considerable service in catching thieves. burglars and crooks, having been on the police force for a Ion(F time. and having done con- siderable detective work. Having caught thieves 80 many times, it seems a turn about that thieves should catch him just once. He invites the same fellow to come | again, and ho declares that the next time the fellow won't beat him in the mid- night race to the window. ook 19 Electric door bells, burglar alarms and every form of domestie electrical appli- ances at the New York Plumbing Co. i fts & Co., are loaning monoj es of chattel securities at onc- 1 See them before securing your (et The City Fathers.
