Dr. F. W. Houghton has taken charge of Foster's upper Brondway retail drug store, and he and his family will become permanent residents of this city. This will be gratifying news to their many friends, Despite the injunction issued the Min- den saloons are still ruuning. The deal- ers there are ing their eyeson Coun- cil Bluffs, and when' the suloons here are closed they will close. If they wait for that it may be some time, but they seem to feel that a large city should have no greater freedom than a small town, The fire alarm test is still a coming event. In the meantime the city is hav- ing the use of it and plenty of opportu- nities to try it.

Cole & Cole, 41 Mainst. ——— Pierce Discharged. Constable Pierce, of Des Moines, had a hearing here yesterday, as to whether he should be fined for contempt by Judge Love, of the United States court. Pierce and Liz deputies had seized the Hurlbert & Hess stock at Des Moines, the liquors being sei under the state law. A St. Louis brewini company sought to re- plevin the goods, and brought an_action in the federal court, and got a writ of re- plevin. Pierce refused to deliver up the 500‘“' and he was cited to appear before udge Love to show rcason why he should not be fined for contempt. Judge Love discharged Pierce, and ruled that 80 long as the goods were 1n the posses- sion of the state a writ from the federal court could not take them out of the state’s possession. He gave it as his opinion that any other course would in- volve the state and federal courts in end- less clashes of authori = Dr. Hanchett, office residence, 120 Fourth No. 10. 0. 12 Pearl street; street; telephone sl Contractors and builders will find it to their interest to get prices on lime, ce ment, plaster, hair, etc., from Counc Blufis Fuel company, 539 Broadwa Telephone 136.

THE NEXT HOPE OF RELIEF. A Prisoner Makes a Successfal Jump From a Train—-Threatening to Shoot—The Benefit Cone cert To-Night, Parching Their Throats, The serving of injunctions on twenty- two saloons still caused much comment yesterday, and there was much curiosity as to what the saloon men were going to doabout it. The curiosity was speedily satisfied by seeing the enjoined saloons closed at once, There have been appeals taken 1n the ca and preparations made for a further fight in the courts. The transcripts of the cases have been filed in the federal court, but while these questions are being raised there seems but one thing to do, and that is to close. ‘The risk of violating the writs of injunc- tion seems too great for men of ordinary prudence to take. The least violation of the injunction would render the offender liable to be brougnt before Judge Thor- nell, who would evidently show little merey. The least fine he could impose would be $500, and to this he might add a three month’s imprisonment. Itis well enough to talk about getting out on writs of habeas corpus in the federal court, but few hike to run the risk of such a writ working us desired. ‘The owners of the buildings are also held financially re ponsible, so that they will allow no ten- jeopardize their property. Another feature of the law is peculiar. Even if a saloon is closed, but there are he place, the finding of these icient proof that the writ is The nextray of hope comes from the federal court. The questions raised there are to be passed upon at Dubuque on the 14th of April. It is understood that Judge Love and Judge Shiras, both of whom are holding court here now, are not exactly reed concerning some of the points at issue. Judge Love is said to be inclined to belicve that there are some questions raised which should be considered by the federal court. Judge Shiras is said to favor remanding the cases to the state court. Itisconjectured that the reuson of deferring the matter to that place and date is because Judge Brewer will be there then, and witha full bench the questions can be more satisfactorily decided. It seems that un- less there 18 some change in the views of the judgesthat Judge Brewer's decision will virtually settle the matter, Judge Love being on one side, and Judge Shiras on the other. Judge Brewer has already remanded some cases back to the state court, but there are now ques- tions in these, so that there is little chance to draw a conclusion as to what he will decide bf his other decisi If there should be a dec federal court to the effect that there are federul questions raised, the writs of in- junction will be of little avail. Then the enjoined saloons will open up again, if will be a prolonged one. How long does it take to close a saloon ? present cases is, three months. The petitions 1 these cases were filed December 31. — Brick, We have 200,000 good brick for sale. THOMAS GREEN & SONS. b gy Money to loan on real estate. Counci Bluffs Real Estate Loan and Trust Co.

She has kindly consented to appear thus bere for the benefit of the Cottage hospital, and the ladies having the arrangements in charge have by the generous co-opera- tion of others provided not only a rare musical treat, but so arranged the finan- cial details as to ensure for the hospital a needed benefit, with very little to be paid out of the vroceeds for expenses. The hospital needs the money and the enter- rise merits generous support. This lorm of giving it at the saine time affords the patrons a delightful feast of music which will mw:lfl repay them. Mrs. John N. Baldwin has very kindly thrown open her parlors to the public for this occasion, and there should be no hesitancy in the public for this evening filling it as freely as if it were a public hal), for such is the desire of the esti- mable lady who thus provides a place free for the giving of the concert, the 1adies being thus relieved of expense for such a purpose and the public afforded a pleasant place for their enjoyment. Let all join in giving the hospital a rousing benefit. ——— Miss Mollie Corcoran, dressmaker, 714 Mynster street, between Scventh and Eighth, —— Sherraden is still making cabinet pho- tos at $8 per doz., best finish.

THE MIGHTY JOSS. A Monster of Paper and Wood Gor- geously Plastered. _San Francisco Call: The close compe- tition in the Chinese joss business has spurred on some of the proprietors of r».sslmu&cs in Chinatown, who seem to have fallen behind somewhat in the 1dol- atrous ra cure a bo: to make extra efforts to se- josshouse that will,as it were, paraluze all rivals and turn the tide o wealth back into their pockets, The Bong Ah Lock Joss association, with this planin view, has had the plan for a new and territic dragon drawn up by its_head ,architect, Ah Fat. It was a Call reporter’s privilege yesterday to be favored with a private view of the plans of the new devil scarer. The design shows a figure of a dragon, 150 feet in length and about fifteen feet 1 girth, From the joss’ mouth wriggles a fiery red tongue, twenty-five feet in length, with a mlelll\v:\:gliufz attachmy arranged a a crocodile, which will sweep any impe- cunious and consequently irreligious Mongolian, at one blow, clear into the celestial sheol. The entire animal with green, red. blue and yellow In fact, all the hues of the_rain- bow will bevisible on his sides. When properly manipulated by concealed g3 he cannot possibly fail to to make any non-bungling-up Chinaman shake in his slippers with terror. The dragon joss is to be built entirely of paper, with wooden braces, and will be hollow, to afford small Chinese boys a chunce to be hid inside and work the tongue and tail attachments with due effect. This Mongolian work of idolatrous art is to be made in China and its estimated cost is 200, I'he. Bong Ah Lock Association of United Jossbuilders, however, do not be- lieve in plunging too recklessly into dis- astrous speculations, and with® this ob- ject in view have, before ordering, made application to the treasury department at Washington for the free” entry at this vort of the i'nss when he arrived here from Clhina. ‘Their petition for free entry is made on the ground that all statutes for religious purposes are allowed to be imvorted without paying custom dues. Should the department decide the dragon to be a religious dragon then he will not have to pay a 50 per cent_tax on his value for the privilege of scaring Chinatown. But if a cruel-hearted government thinks him an irreligious beast he will be com- pelled to contribute to Uncle Sam’s reve- nues, Collector Hager said yesterday that he knew nothing officially about the new dragon joss, no application for its free admission having passed through his hands. As to whether such a statue or representation of an animal shoutd pay no custom fees depenped entirely a3 to whether it was intended for religious or other purposes. Ifit could be shown to be a religious matter, it would be entitled to free entry. Pending the government’s decision the order for building the dragon is held back by the joss speculators. It was re- ported” yesterday in influential joss circtes that the new papler-mache idol would require the services of forty men to carry him through Chinatown, when he makes his annual tour through its streets. Some discussion arose between rival jossowners whether the fact that the dragon would have to be brought here in sections would not somewhat detract from its value as a joss. The question was undecided and turned over for fur- ther action to the highbinders of the different joss associations interested.
