Four coaches for the new motor line are at the Northwestern yards.

Mr. Lawson was yesterday given the contruct for building the new boiler works to be located in connection with the Ugden 1ron works, The construction of these works will commence at once, and be rapidly pushed to completion. This enterpriseis a valuable addition to Council Bluffs, and will meet with hearty encouragement. The democratic organ is beginning to introduce Riley W. Briggs, of Carson, as an available candidate for assemblyman, By the way, the same organ grinds out a doleful tune about the republicans, B, F. Clayton and Frank Shinn, It seems that they are coming into prominence among those who are looking towards a possible nomination by the republicans, The discovery of the condition of some of the paving blocks on Oakland avenue is causing considerable discussion as to cedar block paving. This paving is now about three years old, and whilejthe sur- face looks well, if the foundations are so rotten as the samples indicated, another year will see Oukland avenue in a condi- tion needing re ving. It is fortunate that the discovery is made just now, for the council will investigate thoroughly before deciding us to more paving of this ster and Washington Lafayette Shepherd, of Louisiana, was the distinguished title given himself by a swarthy citizen who stood up boldly to face the charge of va- grancy yesterday. lle had an overcoat on his arm and a pair of overshoes on his feet. He had just come from New Orleans, and had” come prepared for northern cold. He expected to get a po- sition in the new hotel, The judge kindly told him to hunt up the new hotel and when he found it to come buck und et Mim kuow where it was located, Wash- iinx:un Lafayette is doubtless still hunt- ng. The members of the Southwestern Jowa Press association are to mect in Council Blufls to-day. As there are so many enterprises on foot, taking up the attention of the public spirited citizens, an attempt was made to get the editors to delay their visit to the Blufls, in order that arrangements might be made for a more publie reception and entertain- ment. The president of the association decided, however, that the meeting here could not be well postboned, und ex- pressed due appreciution of the courte- sies intimated, out said the association was to wmeet here simply for business purposes, and did not expect to be en- tertained by the city, The newspaper men will be made welcome, though, and their stay in the city will be made as pleasant as possible, THE NEWS IN COUNCIL BLUFES The Total Assessed Valnation Much Greater Than Ever, THE COMING FOURTH.
