Yesterday the county clerk and as sistants were kept busy making out pa- pers for pensioners ‘who are getting ready to draw their money from the treasury. There were sisty three of these and the: amount of mouey was about §2,100. The annual exhibition of the institution for the deaf and dumb is to be held at the institution at 10:30 o’clock Tuesday next. These exercises are alw very interest- ing, and it is to be regretted that arrange- ments could not be perfected by which the exhibition could have been given in the opera house. That would huve en- abled more of the citizens to be present, The city has purchased for the use of the fire départment the horse owned by Charles Sanderson, which has already seen service. It is probable that an- other horse will be bought so that the city can use the patrol wagon when needed. This will increase the efticiency of the police department, by running the wagon in connection with the new police alarm, The Fifth regiment band went to Wal- nut Friday to furnish music there.

The jury in the Jones case was a wise one, if l*u brings wisdom, as it should, The total number of years represented by adding the individual ages together was 672. The first vote after getting into their room was nine to three for convic- tion. The jury was out about twelye hours before unll.ln% in a verdict of guilty. Jones on the first trial wasfound guilty and sentenced to fourteen years in the penitentiary. The next time he was sentenced to seven years, and now the penalty will probably be cut below that.

They gave their names as Robert Doone, John Ganey and arry Freeman. 1Itis said that they got into the Kansas City round house” and stole some torpedoes, such asare used on the tracks.

The News of the Bluffs Gathered Up For the Bee Readers. A RUNAWAY ACCIDENT' Mr. Hay and Mr. Wright the Victimg ~What It Costs to Run the City —1The Rails Here For the Motor Line. The Hired Informers, The arrest of Darville and McEwen in Omaha is still & topic of controversy. Numerous and varied statements have been made concerning the matter. The BEE learns from one who is thouroughly conversant with the details, some inter- esting facts. As is generally known, the two men are the ones who claimed to have gone the rounds buying iquors at_diflerent sections, and then making aflidavits of these facts as the busis of inction suits, It is claimed signing these aflidavits for the prohibiti ts, they thought to make another stake from the saloon men, and thatthey approached the latter with a writ- ten proposition T’mf would sign aflida- vits to the effect that all they had sworn to before was false. Their price was $1,200, After some ncgotiations the sum of $700 was agreed upon. An aflidavit was drawn up by an attorney here, and made clear and strong, setting forth various facts in regard to the previous aflidavits. The substance was that the prohibitionists had hired them to make these aflidavits, and that they had sworn to them recklessly and by wholesale; that they did not know anything about most of the es where they had claimed bought drinks, and did not rinks there, as stated in these afli- The aftidavit contains a sensa- 1 account of the manner in which se aflidavits were prepared. The two informers, or saloon deteetives, or what- ever they may be termed, agreed to sign such an aflidavit for $700. They wanted to be outside of the state, how- ever, and insisted going to Omaha, They were given = %25 and went across the river. The next day they were met there by so saloon men, and the afliday duced for them to sign. It 1s claimed that they did sign it, not in a_private room, butin a drug store on Fifteenth street, a notary being called to acknowledge the instrument. l’l‘hnn $30 more was given them, and it was arranged that th should go to the hotel, where they w stopping, and where they had some mem- orandas and papers, which the saloon men claimed they wanted to get pos- session of. The balance of the promised money was to be paid when these were turned over, As they started for the hotel and Zot about half a block n.wny the oflicers stepped up and arrested them, on is the statement as learned by from one who ought to know, doubtless does know what really spired. It is further stated that aflidavit ~ there were who heard the statement made by these two men, and who at the proper time will swear to them. The money was marked and each bill regis- tered, 50 as to prevent any slip on that point. It seems thatit was a deliberate scheme o entrap these two men, and break the force of the affidavits against the suloons. As a part of the scheme it seems the in- tention to keep thesse men in Omaha so that they cannot appear to testify in court. * It is understood that if they give bonds on the present charge, that they will be immediately rearrested on another, and so on, charge after charge. On the other hand, the prediction 18 made by the prohibitionists that these men will be here by the 13th, the time set for the hearing of the cases. The prohibitionifts also claim that the men were not bribed, and thatit was be- cause they could not be bought off that they were arrested on this charge. = Sermons and Services.

Mr. Hay was in company with Mr. Wright, the superintendent of the building of the hotel, the two pro- ceeding down Sixth street in a buggy, and just as they were crossing the Chi- cago, Burlington & Quincy railway track a veloclg_ude came along, frightening the horse. The buggy was overturned and both gentlemen thrown out, while the horse succeeded in smashing the bugey into kindling wood. Mr. Hay had his ankle badly sprained, and Mr. Wright's knee was injured, Neither were able to walk, and it 18 said that the rider of the velocipede, whose name 1§ reported as being Chapman, laughed at the request to go after a doctor. It 18 hoped that the gentlemen will not iong be disabled by,the accident, e AnOmaba Night.

There were in the barn horses, harness and a buggy be- longing to G. Diederich. The horses and buggy were saved. The barn was valued at #250 to_$200. The insurance is not known. Prompt and good work bg the ih-nurlmnnl saved the surrounding build- ngs. Yesterday a carload of steel rails arrived here over the Rock Island, so that the work on the new motor line can proceed at once. The delay has been in gecuring material, and now there is no reason why the work should not be pushed forward to a speedy completion.

At a market town in Rutlandshire the following placard is aflixed to the shut- ters of a watch-maker, who had de- camped, leaving his creditors minus: “Wound up, and’the mainspring broke.’ As pithy and curious was the notice lately stuck up on the window of a Lon- don coftee-house: *“This coflee-room re- moved up stairs till repaired.’" In a respectable luncheon bar in West- minster the writer was once amused by seeing a placard announcing the arrivil of fresh ‘“‘muscles.” After this he was not surprised to see a street hawker in Cheapside bearing acard which informed the public that bird “‘warblers,” as he callfid his whistles, were only one peuny each, ‘There are many curious signs and busi- ness announcements to be found 1n Lon- don, of which a few are: ‘Sick dogs medically attended by the week or month. Birds to board. Ladies’ and gentlemen’s feet and hands profession- ally treated by the job or season. Round- shouldered persons made aight. Babies or children hired or exchanged- False noses as good as new, and war- ranted to fit. Black eyes painted very neatly."” In the extreme west we hear of a shanty which bears the sign: ‘Here’s where you get a meal like your mother used to give you.” A kind of witty contest has sometimes been carried on between sign proprietors. For nstance, we are told that Mr. Isaac Came, a rich shoemaker of Manchester, who left his property to public charities, opened his rirst shop opposite to the building where he had been a servant, and put up a sign which read: “I. Came —from over the way.” Somewhat like this was thesizn of a tavern-keeper named Danger, near Cambridge who having been driven out of his house, built another opposite and inscribed it: “Danger--from over the way." The successor retorted by putting up a new inseription: ‘‘There’is no danger now.” —-— A Parist ctress' Farewell, Paris Letter to London World: The theatrical reports announce this morning that Mlle. Roselia Rousseil will take the veil at the beginning of next month, but that before bidding adieu to the world she will play once more ‘“Phedre,” and the performance will take place shortly at the Kden theatre, with the support of the artistes of the Comedie Francaise. The Parasinns must have strange ideas of decorum and moral tact if they find notninguhockinfi in such an announce- ment at this, There is certainly some- thing more than disrespectful in this salad of church hnd stage mixed to- E(;,ther in the same advertisement. Mlle. ussell is a very beautiful and unlucky lady, the daughter of a proscript and of a worthy mother who kept a tlower stal) on the Place Cadet. wenty-five years ago she won the flirst ‘prize for tragedy at the Conservatoire, beating even Sarah Bernhardt, who only obtained the second prize. Since then both have met with all sorts of ad. ventures, the blonde Sarah has known all the joys, all the triumphs and all the notoricty of success; while the black- baired Roussell, with her majestic and statuesque beauty, has been in vain ad- mirable in antique tufmly, superb in “Chimene,” superb 1o ' ‘“Les Nooces d’Attila.” superb in *‘L.'Article 47,” and yet always a martyr, and always strug- gling against poverty and the stupidity of wanagers. The only place for Mile. Roussell was the Comedie Fran- caise. Whose fault is it that she 18 not there? Whether Mile. Roussel's _vooa- tion be or not as serious as she belicves, there 1s still something shocking in this farewell performance of ‘‘Phedre.” Why does the convert sup once more with the devil? Why does she appear once more on those boards which the church ac- counts accursed? ‘T'o this Mme. Roussell rephes: ‘‘Because 1 hava debts, and | wish the public to pay my creditors, so that 1 may begin my new life of re- nouncement and mortification with a clon'n couscience.”” A strange cast, 18 1t not e A Bold French Adventuress.

HENRY EISEMAN & 00§ People’s Store, Nos, 314, 316, 318 and 320 BROADWAY, COUNCIL BLUFFS, - - IA She is a thin, delicate, amber-visaged woman, about forty years of age, who described hersolf as n descendant of the famous first grenadier of France, whose name is still called out at the muster pa- rades of his regiment, the reply being drmnatically}f!ven. ‘‘Dead, on the field of honor.” " Her name, in short, was ;{_rin(ed on her cards as Henrietta de la our d’Auvergne, and she passed as the illegitimate daughter of a prince of that house, and accordingly as a niece of the archbishop of Bourges and of General de 1a Tour d'Auverflnn.wha died in Algeria. Assuming this title and name, the sham princess bamboozled a lot of pious peo- k]o, priests and parvenus, who like to ang on to a scion of nobility, and she actually lived luxuriously and in great state on the donations which were sent to her for the poor. Strange to say, the present Prince de 1a Tour d’Auvergne knew that the woman was passing her- self off as his natural sister, but never took any proceedings against her. It appears that the woman had been a nun, and while enm\fied in hospital work was criminally assaulted by a relative of one of the patients. The man was con- demned to ten yearsselitary confinement and thenun, who became seriously ill, had to leave her convent and return to the world. Then she began her career of adventure by pretending to make a matrimonial match between the daugh- ter of a Mme, Bigot, whom she had met i church, and a ‘uegn gentleman, Mme. Bigot had been mulcted for a sum of £160, which she lent as a friend to the self-styled princess. After this the mur- der was out. Mme. Bigat discovered that the.fmmlamln from Gascony was a mythical perionage, and she lccordlnfily commenced proceetilnrm recover her money. During the trial the prisoner's veil was thrown off, and she stood re- vealed before the gaze of the public as one Emerancienne Boudean, whose only relatives were a brother who keeps a wine shop, and a sister,who occupies the responslble position of concierge in a Paris house. The sentence of the pris- oner was deferred. - ——— A Very Good Poker Story. Indianapolis Journal: A game long talked about on the river was that played by Goveruor ‘George Poindexter, of Mississippi.
