The city council is to meet this after- noon at 3 o'clock for a farewell meeting & closing up of the business of the old council. The new_council will meet for the first time next Monday night. ‘The funeral of John F Morris yester- day forenoon was yery largely attended. There were nearly one hundred car- riages in the procession which followed the remains to their last resting place. The ball in the temple hall last night under the auspices of the A. O. H. proved a happy finish to St. Patrick’s day. The attendance was very large, and all seemed to enjoy themselves hugely. A letter was received here yesterday stating that W. H, Cox, a sub-contractor on the Colorado & Western railroad, under J. J. Brown, of this city, had been shot by one of his men and mortally wounded. Conrad Geise recently went to Kingley, Kan,, to sturt n cattle ‘ranch, and now comes the news that a prairie fire swept over the ground destroying most of his personal cffects. The loss will reach into the hundreds. A delegation from near Weston yester- dry took out their citizen papers. ~ They were Christian Anderson, Lars Chri Thompson, Martin Nelson, Lars Chris- tian Larison, Carl Christian Peterson— all Christians but one. P. C. Miiler is putting a dome into his store, both to secure more light and to afford an opportumty to display his ar- tistic work. He is very skillful'as a_dec- orator.

A colored boy named Wilson wasa short time ago sentenced to nine months in the county jail for the larceny of an overcoat from L. C. Baldwin's residence, the coat belonging® to Mr. Beers. The boy is suffering from consumption, and it is predicted that he will not live ont his sentence if kept contined. An effort is being made to secure his release on this account, and the authorities rather favor the move for his release. A fellow, giving his name as Brown, who has just served a term in jail for stealing a pair of gloves, was no sooner released than he began looking about for some fresh opportumty. Captain Ander- son noticed the fellow watching for a chance to steal a pair of shoes from the bankruptstore on Main street, and after satisfying himself that the tellow was crooked, he ran him in. He was yester- day given a chance to leave the city, and he upparently has improved it. Complaint is made by the residents in the ne shborhood of Fourth avenue be- tween Ninth and Eleventh streets that horses are allowed to roam about the street and cut up the parking. It seems that the owners of the horses in the barn on the corner of Fourth avenue and Tenth street allow their horses out night and morning and much damage is done thereby. ‘The authorities should put a stop to this immediately and the owners made to pay the damages.

Thrown in Jail By a Wife With Whom He Never Lived, THE IRVIN MYSTERY UNSOLVED. The Bluffa' Remarkable Fire Record ~Lively Experience With Foout- pads on Broadway—Why the Police Quit Manufacturs ing BSensations. Loved Two or Three Well. There is behind the bars at the city jail a young Swede, almost a boy, who is booked for,adultery on complaint of his wife. He has scarcely reached his ma- jority, and yet his matrimonial life seems to have been very thorny. LastJuly, when in his twentieth year, he was mar- ried by Justice Schurz to a girl, Anna Hunsen, three years his senior. The marriage was not of his own seeking. He had been going with the girl, but was not ready to marry. She was, however, and as she realized the approaching re- sponsibility of motherhood, she insisted that the young man should bear the re- sponsibility of a father. Rather than have greater trouble, he at last con- sented, and the ceremony was per- formed, He dechined to live with his bride, and she seemed not to be anxious to have him. A short ume ago an arrangement was made between them by which she was to procure a divorce, He was to pay her 150, a part down and the balance on monthly installments. The papers were drawn up and he sup- posed l‘mt was the end of the matter, until an ofticer arrested him yesterday on this charge. The wife claims that he has been running about too much with other girls, and she does not propose to have him 8o frisky until he is fairly free from her. The young fellow is in a world of trouble and complains bittorl?' about his fate. He will have a hearing before Judge Aylesworth to-day. The wife, on the other hand, claims that heis a wretch, and that besides ruining her he is the father of a child born a few days ago to another woman and that still another is soon to become a mother by him. e i For acre property, residences and busi- ness property call on W, C.

Two of the police force have had their turn in the sweat box. When they re- ported off duty early Tuesday morning they brought into headquarters a hat Wwhich one of them had picked up. They gave a glowing account of how they had chased a suspicious fellow, but he had escaped. They had got nis hut, though. The sensational features of the case were dwelt upon quite glowingly, and the other listening members of the force were filled to the neck with the narra- tion. The run had been a hard one. The fellow was fired at several times, and only escaped by dodging in among a lot of freight cars. hey didn’t know whether he was hitor not. The two nar- rators seemed to enjoy the sport of amaz- ing their fellow officers with the account of their mght's exrlolt, and they bung up the hat as a proof. A little later in the day the body of Irvin was found, who had been so mysteriously killed by the cars. The ~hat was identified as belonging to him. The two oflicers explained that they had simply found the hat, and that the story of a chase, with all its sensational features, was just to fill up the others, just for fun. The others have got even. It wae quictly whispered to the two romancers that 1t was sus- pected that their story was true, that they had chased this man. frightenea him, shot at him and then when he dis- nrpenrud it was owing to his falling, pierced by a bullet, and that he lay there in the darkness until the cars went over him. The two who were so eager to ‘‘guy” the others are not so anxious now to spin yarns. The next time they find a hat they will not try to weave a sensation out of it. It's too risky. 1f you don'tbe- lieve it ask Officer Dyer or Tamasieu. ———— Substantial abstracts of titles and real estate loans. J. W, & E. L. Squire. No, 101 Pearl street, Council Bluffs. Sl . Star sale stables for mules and heavy draft horses, e, The Fire Record, Chief Templeton is just preparing his annual report of the fire department. The facts in regard to fires are very creditable to Council Bluffs and ought to have a tendency to make insurance cheap here. During the year there huve been but thirty-five alarms, including all the false alarms, the still calls, and all. The year before there were in all seventy- seven alarms, What- is still more re- markable in the record is that the total loss bi fires durmfi the past year will not exceed $5,000, outside of the driving park fire, in which Stewart's stable of fine horses was burned. The loss in that par- ticular case is difficult to determine, the horses being thoroughbreds and very valuable. The record is one which is re- markable. In the city proper only $5,000 loss by fire in an entire year. The et- ficiency of the tire department is doubt- less cne cause for the total amount of loss being so low. The superiority of the Council Bluffs water works is another, ‘The swile of fortune isanother. Council Bluffs may well be grateful. ————— Star sale stables of Council Bluffs.

Telephone 136, After His Money. A man, who shrinks from the notoriety of having his name published in connec- tion with the item, relates a lively ex- perience which he had on Broadway night before last. He was in McAdams’ saloon, drinking a glass of beer with a friend, and foolishly exposed his money in making change. He thinks some one must have noticed that he had a little cash, although he thought little of it at the time. In going to East Broadway a little later, he was entirely oft his guard, both hands in his pockets, his hat on the back of his head, and just as he passed a man he got a thump on the back of “the head which would glve floored him had his stiff hat not been in such a peculiar position as to break the blow. He at once realized that it was an attempt to rob him, and as he found himself right be- tween two men, he proceeded to knock one of them down. Only stopping to give the prostrate fellow a kick, he turned for the other fellow, who by this time was on the run. The other one 3mckl got on his feet and followed lown Broadway. Y S L A Stranger Taken In, Yesterday morning a stranger en route for St. Paul was waiting at the transfer when he fell into conversation with a man, pretending to be a traveling sales- man, The traveling man. guided bim THE OMAHA DAILY BEE: FRIDAY, into the Northwestern train, and there worked him. After chatting together the traveling man suddenly remembered that he must pay #n express before the train went. He pulled out a $50 bill and wanted the stranger to chnm{s it for him. ‘Lhe stranger had but $30 and this the travel- ing man borrowed to go out and pay the express charges with, He would be back in a minute. Before his return the train started out, taking the stranger to Missouri Valley. He returned on the freight yesterday afternoon, but the )}ul ice could give him little consolativn. he traveling man and the $30 were gone. (o The Creole To-Night. Expection is high as to Miss Lillian Lewis, who to-night appears at the opera house as Cora, in “The Creole,” made familar to many by Clara Morris under its original title of ‘“‘Article 47.” Miss Lewis has a reputation which will cause the house to ve filled. The New York Times says she 1s becoming known as the handsomest dresser on the American stage, but she has more than dress. She is an emotional actress of more than common ability. To-morrow afternoon she appears in *Frou Frou, and to:mor- row night in “‘Leah, the Forsaken.” st ™ok Personal Paragraphs. Henry Shierbrock, of Neola, visited the city yesterday. Will F.
