THE NEW HOTEL Other Bits of News From the lowa Side—Points Personal and Short-Stop Items. PROJECT, A Boom Meeting. In response to the call for a mass: meeting to consider various matters of interest to Council Blufis, the opera house was crowded last night, most of the audience ns, only a few o1 ulby’s new band musical inspiration to the ing. Atthe entrance of the rra house was placed on an easel a view of the proposed new hotel, five stories in height, with a frontage of 150 feet. Muany on entering stopped to get boom inspiration from this beautiful it of architecture. Mayor Groneweg set the ball rolling, anked the citizens for their pre 1. He stated k at the past, and future of the city, and to ters which wight add to its Council Blufls had rich nat- ural advantages, but like a piece of farm land, it n 1o be developed i J. Steadman ring open- ing sy He urged the cityto im- prove its present rare opportunities, for such opportunities come but once in a lifetime. He said that the inter-state commerce bil! would of itselt force man- ufacturing westward, With its nine great railroad lines Council Bluffs was bound to be a great commer- cial center. Energy and liberality were needed. Council Bluffs would soon be a part of Omaha and the two cities would form the great commercial ceuter of the west. The address was brie but full of fire, and the audience was en- thusiastic in 1ts applause of the senti- ments ut Colonel WV app followed. He spoke of Council Blufls as it was twenty years ago and made a happy comparison with 1ts present condition, noting the many improvements and changes for the bet- ter. The county a score of years ago only had a population of 4,000 and this city only had 2,000. Now the county has 50,000 and the city now has over 25,000. Twenty yeurs ago lower Broadway and Main street were meandered roads only. Stewart’s packing house was way out of town. Hazel brush covered th2 now beau- tiful Oakland avenue. T'he censusshowed that from 1860 to 1880 Council Bluffs grew more rapidly than any other city in Iowa, He contrasted the difference in various locations of the city, the new buildings, ete. The city had depended too much on its natural advantages, and had not ex- erted itself as it should. Now was a criti- cal period in its life, 1t should push ahead for it had the chance. The ci zens should unite in helping every enter- prise, Judge Carson was the next speaker. He also made some striking contrasts be- tween the past and present. Citizens should realize these advantages and this growth. He urged the encouragement of manufactories. Congressman Lyman was called out to further the boom talk. He had lived here since boyhood, coming to the county when there was not a school house in it. He made some 1interesting comparisons between then and now. In speaking of the future he believed that the inter-state commerce law would, if enforced, make great manufacturing centers in the west, and this city might be one of them if its citizens so willed, There were many of the members who voted for the bill who were not fully satistied with it, but it was the only one that all could agree upon. He thought the railways should ol Y“ in good faith and its real defects could be remedied. By trying to make it as obnoxious as ossible they were reall; hnrtln* their own interests. S#;el ing locally he believed the intereats of the two cities were really one and there should be no jealousy. He gave rsonal assurance that the contract for he Broadway bridge would be closed within thirty days and that it would be built before the 1st of Jnnnnr{ next. He spoke also of the need of a ‘large new hotel, commensurate wita the size and prospect of the city. It rested with the citizens whether it had this and other lmfirovumenu. r. Harle then spoke briefly and en- thusiastically urging the need of united, earnest effort. Mr. Steadman then stated one of the principal objects of the meeting, it being the presentation of a proposition for the erection of a modern hotel, The parties offer to build a better hotel than the Pax- ton, if the citizens will donate the ground, or will have the botel owned by a stock company. They wanted to know what the citizens would do in the matter. A start was then made to secure the $20,000 necessary to ensure the new hotel %rojecu ‘The Council Bluffs Loan and Trust company subscribed $1,600, Cook & Morgan added $1,000, Mr. Hayes, in behalf of Minneapolis capitalists, another $1,000, and William Moore $500. As it was getting late the matter of securing additional subscriptious was referred to a committee, composed of A, C. Graham, E. L. Shugart, J. W. Peregoy, B. W. Jacobs and L. H. Wells, who ‘will com- mence the work at once. A Don't forget the fact, the Quick Meal Vapor stove 18 the best made. It is soid only at one store. See it and save money, worry and danger.

The charge made that they had been guilty of trespass in crossing McCune'’s land while taking their prisoners from the lake to the road where their wagon was waiting, was dismissed at the cost of the county. The charge of larceny, be- cause of the nets which they gobbled with the offending fishermen, was dis- missed, and the costs taxed to the prose- cution, The officers thus being freed, were enabled to return home rejoicing. The feeling has somewhat subsided on both sides, and the future transactions rowing out of the attempt to enforce the f-w in regard to fishing will doubtless be characterized by less excitement and more gocd nature, P Odell Bros. & Co, have without doubt the finest list of choice property for sale that can be found in the “twin cities.” Call on them at No. 108 Pearl street be. fore purchasing and see their bargains in lots und acre property.

Judson as wanager of the American District Telo- graph company, is to take effect on the 1st of May. The directors of the com- y yesterday chose as his successor ‘Mr, M, E. Myers. Mr, Myers is a thor- ough electrician, ns well as wide awake in business matters. He will doubtless 80 manage the business that it will con- tinue to grow, and with the publie the enterprise will increase in favor more and more. DU “Dead Shot” for Bed Bugs.

One Square North of the P. O. Building. v Treatment and Baths Given Ladies by Mrs. Dry Richards on Tuesday, Thursday & Saturday. Electricity is a remarkable natural agent which has long been known and utilized as a remedy for discase, and continued experience has enlarged its sphere of useful- ness and improved its appliances by which it is employed until its utility and virtue has become second to no other known remedy, in the treatment of certain forms of disease. This agent is employed here in all its most serviceable forms by the aid of large batteries, static machines, electric cabinet baths, electric_water baths, the elec- tric chair and electrodes for treating all parts of the body. We are prepared to do all that can be done with these great remedies. In cases of Rheumatism, Neuralgia, Paralysis, Spinal Irritation, Rectal Diseases, Nervous Diseases in females arrising from Uterine disorders and many other chronic and subacute troubles, it stands at the head of all known remedies or methods cure. A thorough study of it for yea and the successful treatment of hundreds of cases, after all other remedies had fail- ed, is sufilcient evidence of its great worth and perfectly satisfies us with its good effects on the diseased body. In the great hospitals and sanitariams of America ' and Europe, electricity is leading all other methods of treatment. In all leading colleges the professors are teaching electricity as one of the potent remedies and a special chair is appointed in many of them, ‘Many of the ablest physicians of all schools are making a specialty of electricitv to the exclusion of almost everythins ' else. This great remedy has often fallen into disrepute by being recommended an: used by persons, and physicians, perfectly ignorant of its propertics and powers, who would advise as often and use the wrong current as the right one or depend upon it in diseases for which it is not adopted. We are sure that when the people become educated in the use of electricity for many diseases with which the body 1s afllicted and find the great gyod therein, the medicines and patent rlgxl;ned nos- trums upon which they now rely will grow old and dusty on the shelves, ~Electricity is nature’s great remedy and to fully understand and skilfully apply it is our effort and aim in life, For further information call at the office or send for de- scriptive and illustrated pamphlet on Electricity and Electro Therapeutic Baths, by DR.
