The boys are about eleven years of age, and it is the old story of ‘‘wanting to see the world.’” They are now looking at it from behind the "bars while waiting the arrival of friends to take them home. The American Contractor, a trades paper of Chicago, gives numerouns para- tuphn to the buildings contemplated in Jouncil Bluffs this season. It speaks of the new Catholic church, the new_city hall, the buildings at Manawa, and the new union depot. It makes the predic- tion that the depot will be “‘one of the most imposing buildings west of Chi- cago.” There are several buildings on Broad- way, near Main street, that would be much more pleasant to fiazu upon if the proprietors, who have allowed the same old fronts to remain in them the past twenty years, could be induced to put in new fronts to keep pace with the times, and not set back and sec the younger men, with a much more limited bank account, do all the improving, without even a word of encouragement from the mossbacke. The Missouri river at Pierre fell nearly elfhl feet in the last twenty-four hours, while at Sioux City it was reported at 6 o'clock last evening to have fallen five inches. At the Union Pacific bridge it raised from 17 feet, 6 inches at 6 o'clock iumrday morning to 18 feet last night. t takes abcut twenty-four hours for the water to run down from Sioux City. Civil Engineer Birkinbine, manager ot the waterworks, said yesterday that the 18 feet was the highest reached this sea- son.

SEWERAGE The Improvements in the Unfon Fa- cific Yards Start Up—Col. Keat- ley's Scnsational Theory of Lattimer's Disappearance. MUCH ORDERED. Public Improvements, The new city council has taken hold of affairs with a determination to have the municipal improvements keep pace with private ones, Yesterday a hasty esti- mate was made of the probable cost of the sewersalready ordered. The amount will reach nearly $50,000, figuring only on that which already been ordered. Of course the most of thisamount will be paid for by special assessmgnts on private property, the city paying only for the in- terseetions, The paving ordered will amount to at least $100,000. With such improvements on the streets it cannot be said that Council Bluffs is lacking in faith in itself. Property owners were never so confident as to the growth of the city and they are enthusiastieally calling upon the city to go right ad, make the Assessments upon them and they that the improvements are p: iis confidence of the citiz themselves 1s one of the most encour ing features of the present boom, The Levee Tested. The rising waters of the Missour: ached the new levee Saturday night d went up two feet on its side, but there the water remained, showing that the levee was built none too soon, and that even in its present condition it 18 enpable of protecting that portion of the city for whose benefit it was built. Yes- terday the river was falling, and the cit- izens were everywhere cracking dry jokes, with every indication of unshaken confidence in the western part of the city, even the lowest of it being kept from any overflow. Even if the river should take another rise there 1s no dan- ger. Mr. Moore, the contractor, says that the water can come up three feet higher than in the \vomlcr‘ul rise of 1881 and still the city will be fully protected. The water -'uufll rise even more than three fect, but this would be a surely safe point. The levee, when completed, and when it becomes more solid with age and other improvements, will be still better and it seems that there can not be MK possible trouble any more from the tickle Missouri. The cost of the levee is small, as it will not exceed $83,000. palia e, Was Lattimer Murdered? Colomel Keatley appeared among his old friends here yesterday. The new demo- cratic daily, at Sioux City, having gone by the boards after a week’s struggle with short breath, leaves him free to en- ter new ficlds. There 18 talk of reorgan- zing the enterprise, and going ahead with it, but Colonel Keatley says he does not care what they do with it, for he has had euough of it. The mysterious disappear- ance of the business manager, Mr, Latti- mer, seems to have been the cause of the sudden demoralization of the enterprise, which aside from that was :unvin%: along uite promising. Colonel Kentley holds to the theory that Lattimer has been foully dealt with, and thinks he has becn robbed and then put out of the way. This is a theory simply, as there seem 1o clues by which there can be any satisfactory traces followed out. Latti- mer was drinking, and had about $3,000 1n casbh in his poci{ut& While drinking he foolishly showed his wealth, and with guch a temptation it is not improbable that some ruflian has quietly got posses- gion of the money and disposed of Latti- mer. It appears that Lattimer had no reason for thus disappearing, and even if he was on a spree he would surely have been heard from by this time. Colonel Keatley says that inquiries of all the con- ductors of trains running out of Sioux City lead to the belief that Lattimer has not left the mf‘ at least by rail. The theory that he has skipped of his own ac- cord is the one most commonly accepted, but Colonel Keatley thinks the disappear- ance is not a voluntary one. Lot b 8 As Seen By a Visitor. E. A. Snyder, one of the editors and publishers of the Cedar Falls Gazette, re- cently visited this city. He investigated the situation closely and looked at the foundation of the boom. So satistied was he with the condition and prospects of the city that he is planning to invest here some., He has had experience and made money in real estate, and hence is a good judge of booms. Since his visit to Council Biuffs he pens the following editorial for the columns of s paper: A short visit at Council Bluffs and a dis- tant view of its large brother just across the “Big Muddy” gives the impression that a promising future Is before them. ‘The first contains about 25,000 inhabitants, and Omaha i3 about one-third larger, These cities, which have hitherto pulled against each other, are soon more closely connected by two bridges, the Union Pacific company being now eneaged in the construction of a new railroad bridge with foot, wagon and street car conveniences for crossing, while bids are now being received for the construction of what is to be known as the Broad Farnam street bridge at a cost of $700,000, all of the stock having been taken, It will be for foot, wagzon and street ear pas- sage, brlnflnr the two cities, now about three miles apart, into more intimate relations, supplying a bond of interest that must result advantag aouslf' 10 both, ‘The bottom land between has been chang- nfihmdn in tracts at $500 to $1,000 per acre, and Is being laid off into fitteen to twenty thousand building lots, for which $200 to $1,000 each Is asked. The demand for them will be greatly increased by the construction of the new bridges and street car lines, giv- ing mechanics and others in Omaha oppor- tunity to build homes across the river, in Council Bluffs, less than a mile from their business, while they are now seeking high prices for lots four, five and six wiles back over the steeps and bluffs surrounding maha. ‘The *'boom" 18 not off in these clties, but apparently slowing up for the ‘‘roads to_set- tle.” lmprovements for this season have Dot been un{ inaugurated, but there is a contident belief that tte plant is healthy and liable to greet the sun's bright rays most any morning. Real estate has witnessed a large advance, but gives promise of beating its recent achievements, and owners may con- dently assunie that theirs is not a boomer- ang. Council Bluffs, in addition to a lively interest In the two bridges, is to have a large new Unlon Pacific depot near the business part of town ; also several miles of extension of its motor line and connection by motor be- tween the city and a beautiful lake, three miles below, where an abundance of fine beach for bathing s tound.

The threatened injunctions against the saloons still excite much comment. There was little change in the situation yesterday. J. J. Shea, clerk of the county, had not issued the writs ofj n junction as ordered by Judge Thornell, of the district court. 1f he had he would have been in contempt in the superior court, for Judge Aylesworth, of that court, had granted injunctions restrain- ing Shea from 1ssuing the writs ordered by Judge ‘Thornell. Judge Aylesworth had also enjoined Sheriff Reel from serv- ing the writs if issued. The probability is that the clerk and the sheriff will be relieved from the embarassment of deci- ding which judze to obey. An attempt will be made this morning to have the injunctions of Judge Aylesworth dissol- ved. Attorney Sims, who appea the prohibitionists, will on the op ng of Judge Thornell’s court to-morrow morning file motions for the dis- solution’ of the injun:tions from Aylesworth’ court. The law provides that none but the de ants can ask to have the injunction dissolved, but Sims appears as attorney for the defendants, S‘u'x\ and Reel, a rather peculiar posi- tion. He will probably be met by an af- fidayit that he has no authority to thus appeal. He will meet this by showing that the state isreally the party inter- ested, and will appeat for the state. This will enuse another contest, probably, but with the position taken already by Judge Thornell. and the views held by him, he will probably act promptly in solving the injunctions issued by the superior court. With these dissolved there will be nothing to prevent the clerk from is- suing the writs ordered Judge Thor- nell.” The opening of court this morning will thus see the climax reached. What new move will be made on the part of the defendants is not clear, It is reported, as alrendy stated In the BeE, that 'if the injunctions are 1ssued, they will be vio- lated, and if Judge Thornell ecommits anyone to jail, xhcl’i’cdoml court will be appealed to {o release on a writ of habeas cdrpus. i, St st L.
