An Important Declsion on Sewer As- sessment—Personal Mention and Brief Bits of News From All Around Town, Another Burglary. Yesterday morning when John Thomo- son, living at No. 714 Fourth street, awoke he found that some one had en- tgred his room during the night. En- trance had been gained by a window.and from the feelings of the victim, and other cireumstances, it appears that chloroform had been used upon him to make him sleep. His pantaloons were found in the yard, but his pocketbook containing $120 in cash was gone. The job was worked well. It secins that the same gang is do- ing all of this work lately in Council Biufls, and that the burglars are resi- dents of the city. It seems that the po- lice onght to be onto them by this time. They had a good chance to nab them the other night, when they were shadowed, and were evidently about to get at work, when by the eagerness of one of the offi- cers the gang was alarmed, and nothing could be done. 1t would pay the city to huve an oflicer detailed to shadow the suspected fellows, and watch them until a good opportunity presented itself for nabbing them. The burglaries are get- ting altogether too frequent. Lol icina The Assessment Law. A decision has just been rendered by the supreme court, which is of special interest to this city, as it isupon a ques- tion which Las been several times raised here in regard to improvements to be paid for by special assessment. The con- stitutionality of the present sewer laws, by which assessments are levied is fully sustained. The suit was brought by Davis against the city of Des Moines. Davis brought suit to cancel the contract which the city had entered into with Mr. McCauley to construct a sewer along the street adjoining his property, and to as- sess the cost thercof against said prop- erty, and to enjoin the city from in any manner attempting to enforce said con- tract. The plaintiff contended that the city is ulre:ulf' indebted beyond its constitutional limit, and thut this contract creates a debt and would therefore be void. The question determined is: Does the contract in uestion create a debt against the city? The court says: *‘It seems to us that the contract i question does mot create an indebtedness against the city. There is no doubt that the city is authorized by law to make specinl assessments for im- provements of this character upon prop- erty adjacent to the improvements. Such are the plain provisions of our statute. See chapter ulra laws of 1878, and section 16, chapter 168, laws of 1886. The con- tract involved in this case, expressly pro- vides that the certificates issued by the city shall be accepted by the contractor in full payment for his work without re- course on the city. The city can never be held liable to any action_for the con- strnction of the sewer. Its resources cannot be affected thereby. Its contract is fully and completely performed by as- certaining the amount of property chargeable to the adjacent property and the issuance of assessment certiticates to the contractor. Miss Lillian Lewis, who for two nights and a matinee has appeared at the opera house, hus won high praise from those who attended the entertainments. She is certainly an actress worthy of the titie of artist. She is intensely emotional, and while she has not a pretty face, she has a grace of manner which makes her charm- ing. Her costumcs are elegant and her appearance is 50 ensy that she is evi- dently so much at home before the foot- lights as to render her fascinating. The greatness of her ucting is, however, not in her personal charms, uor in her dress. She has a strength which is a pleasing re- lief from the rush of prettily dressed dolls who are upinn&to histrionic honors. Her voice is not effeminate, and at first im- presses one as too coarse for one of such race of manner, but the distinctness, the faeling which she throws into every word, and especially in the stronger displays of emotion, renders it a powerful feature, handled with great effect. Her stage falls are grohnbly a8 wonderful as any one of the details which make her so pleasing an actress. As Cora in “‘The Creole' she falls down a flight of stairs, not with any of thosa apparent self-savings so common to the stage, but the fall is a genuine one, und fairly startles the audi- ence. The wonder is that she does not break her neck. She is quick in sction and enters into her lines with sn earnest- ness which shows that her heart as well as head is in the part she takes. ‘The company supporting her is excel- lent. Itisnota Inrglg compuny, but ex- vellently arranged. There are no sticks, and several of them are of more than or. ninary ability. It is to be regretted that there were not larger houses, but a va- riety of circumstancesrendered the dates a littleunfortunate. With the reputation she has established here, her next appear- ance will ensure for her a full house, ———— The Bridge is Sure. That there will be a speedy building of the wagon bridge at the foot of Broad- way there is no longer any good reason to doubt. The preliminary arrangements are being rapidly completed. It is ex- pected that the bids will be in so as to be opened and the contract let by the 20th of April. The contract will call for the completionof the bridge by the 1st of next January at the latest. The bridge will be the basis for numerons other en- terprises, which are mow ensured, as there can be no longer any doubt as to the bridge. Council Bluffs is entering upon the most prosperous year in its nis- tory, .and the building 1mprovements already in sight indicate that the growth of the city this season will be marvelous. ‘Those who have been investing in real eatate are confident, and are not eager to sell even at an advance, prelernnfi to invest more, rather than pull ont. With the new bridge alone Council Bluffs will be given nan impetus which - will cause property to continue to advance rapidly. The other enterprises are mov- lnfidulnngyoll, and Council Bluffs has a solid basis for ita hopes of a future growth. In Memoriam. Hawkeye Lodge, I. O. O.

LA S An old hunter living in the Crazy mount- ains of California caught a young beaver soon after its birth and earried it to his cabin where he gradually made a pet of it. Asthe oungster approached maturity he got to ullding dams, and each morning the huunter found his cabin floor divids b{n dam which reached from wall to wall, the component parts of which were tirewood, boots, articles of clothing and other movable articles in_the house that could be reached or transported, To add to the confusion a basin or bucket of water,if ible, was ca| sized and flooded over the floor.

Mather, in Popular Science Monthly for March: When the Emperor Charles V of Spain retired to the monas- tery of St. Yuste, he tovok with him his clock-muker, in order to while away the time by constructing the movements of clocks. So wonderful were some of the pieces of work which they made, that the monks would not believe any one except the devil had a hand in them, until the machinery was shown to them by the ex- emperor. It was ordered by Charles that when he should die all of these clocks should cease running—and it is said to be a fact that his orders were obeyed. Another king of Spain eame to Geneva to see a clock which had been made by Droz, a merchant of that city. Upon the clock were seated a shepherd, a negro und a dog. As the hour wus struck, the shepherd played upon his flute, and the dog pla; gently at his feet. But, when the king reached forth to touch an apple that hung from a tree, under which the shepherd rested, the dog flew at him and barked so furiously that a hve dog an- swered him, and the whole party left in haste. Venturing to return, one of the courtiers ed the negro, in Spanish, what time it . There was no-reply; but, when the stion was repeated in nch, an 4 er was given, This frightened the courtier, who rejoined his companions, and all ot them voted that the clock was the work of the evil-one. Upon the belfry of the Kauthaus, in Coblentz, there is the head of a giant— bearded, and helmeted with brass, The giant’s head is known as “the man in the custom-house;"’ and whenever a country- man meets a citizen of Coblenty from that place, instead of saying, are all our friends in Coblentz?” h ‘‘How 18 the man in the custom-house?” At every stroke of the bell which sounds the hours upon the clock, the mouth of the giant open and shuts with great force, as if were trying to say, in the words ot Longiellow, “Time was—Time is—Time is past.” . —oip Why Lord Churchill Left England. London Truth: The fhalicious and medacious organ of the Primrose league announces that Lord, Hartington Land Mr. Gladstone, having, “‘declined to meet Lord Randolph Churchill,” he “conse- quently went off in a huft shroad.” These statenients ate pure fiction and there is no foundation whatever fo¢ the spiteful innuendoes contained in them.
