From the Boston Globe it appears that Miss Lewis does the most remarkable fall at the end of the third act of *‘The Creole.” After the fall for a couple of scconds, all is stll as death, then the cheering begins, and Boston was set wild night after night. Billy Pierson and a fellow named Bweigart, who have been occupying an old rookery together, got into some al- tercation yesterday which resulted in Sweigart being put behind the bars on a charge of assault and Pierson being laid out mn one of the hospital rooms up stairs with a bandage over his head. The scalp weund will probably heal soon. Another beauty of the dear old lady’s “‘boiler iron" edition was apparent yes- terday morning. One column of its choice reading matter had a double head on each end. The top was concerning Mor- monism, and the botton half of the col- umn was l:rsidu down and finished off with & heading, also upside down, con- cerning Cassius M. Clay. Itisn't every- one who can muke up a paper so that two men can sit opposite each other and read with equal ease at the same time and in the same column two different arti- cles on two different subjects. The old lady should get a patent. The first duty of the new council should be to tind some outlet for the Pearl street sewer. The business houses along that street have been wnilinr( patiently for some move. The sewer 18 laid along the street to Fifth avenue, but as there is no sewer for it to run/into the pipe cannot be used. The nearing of completion ot the court house is a reminder of the ne- ceum‘y of having some sewerage for that building. It has been proposed to build a Fifth avenue sawer for that purpose, and let the Pearl street sewer empty into that, but what shall the Fifth avenue sewer empty into? It's a puzzle, but the city fathers will doubtless solve the prob- lem. One thing is certain, it has got to be solved in some way, and the soover the better. An Omaha couple, Hugh Thompson and Anna Mach, were married here on one Sunday in .fnmmry by Justice Bar- rett. Now turns up wife No. 1, who claims that Thompson is a bigamist. De- tective Edgerton was over here last week looking up the record, and now Thomp- #on has got to face the music. The wus- ding is well remembered here, as the couple got lost on the bottoms and had quite an experience, which was narrated in the BEE at the time. Thu{ were very particular about having the BEE reporter excluded from the room during the cere- mony, and warned the officiating justice not to let the marri: be published.

Sl Wild Over Lotta. ‘The opera house last night was packed with an enthusiastic audience, who gave o most hearty welcome to Lotta as ‘‘Mu- sette,” or ‘' r|fihr. Eyes.” Seldom has there been such a scene in the opera house as last evening. From beginning to finish there was the greatest enthusi- asm, and applause followed applause in- terspersed only with labghter. Lotta appeared ae ever, inimitable, indescriba- ble, a bundle of nerves with the quick- ness and keenness of litzhtnlng, and the winsome simplicity of sunshine.

A Soft Stranger Relieved of His Roll While Seeing the Sights—One Workman Hits Another With a Spade. Was He Murdered? The finding of the body of the man Irvin near the Broadway crossing on the Northwestern railway, continues to be a mystery worthy of the shrewdest detec- tive investigation. The supposition that while drunk he carelessly eame to his death by being run over by the cars does not seem to satisfy the friends, and vari- ous circumstances indicate that sucha theory 18 not altogether reasonable. Yes- terday another brother, from Madison, Neb,, arrived here and spent the dayin investigaing the matter, by the aid of Chief Mullen. A number of cir- cumstances are considered as so adding to the myster as 3to make it at least possible that the man was foully dealt with, and then left there for the train to finish, The railway men are puzzled over the fact that no one knew when he was run over, or how. No oatery was heard, and nothing at all known of the occurrence until the finding of the body at deylight, It s said that seldom, if ever, an accident of this kind occurs, without there being seme cry or groan toud enough for some of the trainmen to hear. The most suspicious re in regard to money n ortunate man left his brother's heme in Madison, Neb., with a cou on the 21st of last month, He then with him several hundred dollars 1n cash. He was not given to spending moncy, and nad um.l:lmnk anything for months, although before that time he had some, and oceasionully got on a spree. He went to Fremont county, svllm{: ome patent right which he had. On his per- son were found some tax receipts, show- ing that he had recently paid some taxes at Sidney. It is possible that he may have bought some real estate there with his moncy, but equally probable that he got the real estate in trade for his patent. He had in his pocket about 5 ’K w found, but as he was in the ng more mouey than tl awakens some suspicion. More sus 1on is aroused, however, from the that neither his watch nor revolver were found upon him. A search was made about the city yesterday, and at stein’s pawn shop on upper Broadway, were found a watch and a revolver which are believed to belong to the dead man, The brother is certain as to the watch, identifying that positively. As to the revolver he is not so sure, but thinks 1t was the one he owned. Mr. Goldstein says the revolyer was sold to _him for %5 and the watch pawned for $7 by a man who came there early in the evening of Monday last. He describes the man who left the articles there, but the description does not tull{ with the description of the dead man. It resembles it somewhat, however, enough to raise a question as to whether Irvin did not dispose ot these articles himself. ‘This idea is scouted by his brother, who says he had no occasion to pawn anything, for if he ran short of money he knew where to get it very readily without resorting to any such method. It is a significant fact also that no pawn ticket was found on the body. The man gave his name as Smith, and from this and other circumstances the theory is advanced that someone robbed lllxc man and then disposed of these arti- cles. It is also urged that the appearance of the body and the marks about the place where the accident occurred, were not such as are usually found in the case of a live man being run over by the cars. ‘There was less blood, and the condition of the body indicated that life had been extinct for some time, The snrposluon that he had been foully dealt with and then this means adopted to cover up the crime, seems to be grow- ing in favor with those who have been investigating the details. Whether enough will be discovered to settle this question is a matter of doubt. The chief circumstances against the theory is that the locality is too publie, apparently, for thus placing a body, it being right on Broadway. Still it is urged that it might have been placed there at an hour in the night when there was hardly anyone passing. The investigation 18 by no means cnded, and the brothers with the officers pro‘pose to search thoroughly every trace leading to the discovery of the truth. —— A Higher High School. The proposition to change the high school building on the hill into a normal school having been defeated by a vote of the people, aud the proposition to build another school house having likewise been lost, the school board will now have o make some change to accommodate the needs. The high school has been re- moved from the hill, and has been ocen- pying the portion of the Bloomer build- ing. It is now proposed, and the idea will probably be carried out, to change back again, placing the high school classes in the big building on the hill. The young ladies and gentlemen will thus be obliged todo some climbing every day, Tt has been pretty wel settled, from the experiences of numerous fam- ilies here, that this climbing is by no means healthy or helpful to the young folks, especially the girls, and some cases are reported 1n which even fatal injuries are aitributed to this cause. There are many who will not send their children to school on the hill, They prefer to send them to some private school, or send them tosome other city to*ez their school- ing. The attendance will be cut down, and the school system of the city will sufter somewhat, but it seems that such a change must be made to accommodate all, During the past year scholars in some grades have had 10 do without seats or desks, squat on the edge of platforms, or occupy benches in the hall, but as there can be no new build- ing put up, it 3eems that the crowdin; will have to be got along with the best way possible. 1f children suffer from being thus packed like herrings the parents cannot with much counsistency find fault except with themselves. The only way to get any relief seems to be to remove the high school to the hill and let the Bloomer building be occupied by the smaller pupils. 1t is expected that there will be con- siderable complaint, as there will be many inconvenienced. Many will object to jeopardizing the health of their daugh- ters by sandmf them up the hill, tut they can hardly find any fault with the board for thus arranging matters. The voters have taken the responsibility of suying that is the way they want it, and the board can but carry out the wish thus expressed. e A Soft Stranger. Charles McCloud and Tom Brooks were yesterday lodged in the county jail to await a further hearing on the charge of robbery. The statement of the attair in which they were concerned, as learned from those who caused their arrest, is that the victim of the robbery 1s an Iili- nois man, who was en route to Columbus, Neb,, to’ testify in a case which was set for trial yesterday: The strauger went into Metealf's saloon, where McClovd was tending bar. He fell Into conversa- tion with McCloud and Brooks, who was hanging around the place. They, learn- ing that he was from Illinois, at once struck up a friendship on the ground of having lived there themsclves, and be- tween the narration of reminiscences, drinks were taken and the dice shaken. The stranger got pretty mellow and flashed his money foolish Then a hack was taken, and Brooks and McCloud took the stranger around to see the sights. In one house of prostitution Me- Cloud ordered three bun‘cfl of beer, and when the girl came for her pay, MeCloud turned his back as he opened up the pocketbook belonging to the stranger. A looking glass happened to be where it reflected the situation to the girl, who says that she saw McCloud not only take out of the stranger’s pocketbook enough to pay for the beer, but also slip out a number of bills, After a little the pocketbook was returned to the stranger, and while he was listening to the guay talk of the girls, McCloud and Brooks shipped out of the house, leaving him alone. He rds found that his vocketbook had been filled with some picces of puper, so as to make it seem fat, fql_l that all of his money was gone, about $50. On finding that he had been robbed he notified the police, who began investi- gating the matter. ‘The two young men were arrested, and their bonds set at $1,000 h. They are to have a prelimi- nary hi ng next Tuesday. T . ger was anxious to go on his journey, but romises to return to prosecute. As he had no money with which to get to Co Iumbus one of the friends of the young men is said to have lot him have $10. It is possible that the affair may be squared 80 as to prevent uny further publicity. 1f Brooks and Me(C'lond had a better repu tation the ev i m would not seem so ong, they have =0 acted as to make it e of belief that they might yield to temptation, sl Contractors and builders will tind 1t to their interest to get prices on lime, cement, plaster, hair, ete., from Council Bluffs Fuel Company, 539 Broadway. lephone 136. -~ Substantial abstracts of titles and real estate loans. J. W, & E, L. Squire. No. 101 Pearl street, Council Blufls, S o Played a Spade. A little difficulty arose yesterday among some of the men emnloyed in cutting away the trees and making various im- provements about J. C. Stewart's resi- dence. An old man, George Dresden, was being plagued by some of the younger men until he lost his temper, and in his rage he lifted his spade and with it struck one ofthe young men, named Stil a blow over the head. Stiles did not seem to be seriously hurt, and did not even stagger, A few min- utes later, however, he fell to the ground unconscious and remained in_that ¢ dition over an hour. Dr. Mongom was called and made a careful examina- tion, but no fracture of the skull was dis- cernable. ~ Stiles was removed to his home on the bottoms, and it 1s thought that he will speedily I all right again. For a time yesterday, while he was lying apparently dead, it scemed that the affarr was a very serious one, and the reports concerning 1t did not grow less as they went. e _ Star sale stables for mules and heavy draft horses. e b A FPamily Reunion, Mr. and Mrs. W. N. Young yesterday celebrated their twelfth wedding anni- versary and last evening they were the happy victims of a surprise party. The peculiarly pleasing feature of the gather- img was the reunion of Mrs. Young’s brothers and sisters. John Templeton, chief of the fire department, is a brother. Mrs. W. H. Campbell, of Missouri Val- ley, ong of the sisters, was here also with her husband and daughter. Othersof the relatives came, it being the first reunion of the Templeton family for twenty-five fieu:'s or so. They all seemed happy in- eed. e -— For acre property, residences and b ness property call on W. C. Stacy & Co. No. 9 Main street. —_— New Embroideries just received at Harkness Bros.
