Apply to Dr. Lawrence, 728 Willow av- enue, A burglar was prowling about W. G. Oliver's residence Friduy night, but was frightened off before he secured any plunder. There will be a regular business meet- ing of the W, C. A. at the residence of Mrs. J. B. Atkins Monday afternoon at 8 o'clock. All concerned are requested to be there promptly. The case of the four men, Samuel Will- fams, George Rockwell, William and George Stilen, charged with beating Theodore Brown, has queen continued by Justice Barnett until the 18th inst. The salvation army fellow who made himself so much of a reputation by try- ing to get Miss Hastie's trunk, has ap- parently concluded to *‘go happy on his way,” rather than wait for a warrant to be served upon him. He was not to be found in the city yesterday. The four electric hights were started for the first time last ¢vening at the top of the new court house tower. They roved very satisfactory and considering he fuct that the four now hung there are of ordinary power, it seems evident that with the use of the larger lamps, as pro- posed, the effect will be brilliant. ‘With the closing of gambling in Omaha, and the opening of races here, a gang ot roughs, crooks, tin-horns, nutshell fakirs ete. have come to the city. They have been allowed to hang around long enough to see the city, and tis now getting time for the police to wake up, and tell them to move on. Yesterday morning the steamer Man- awa went to the bottom of Lake Manawa rather suddenly, but from what cause it 18not known except to those who were in charge. They claim that some one bored a hole in her” during the night. Others claim that the crew overslept and did not bail her out as they ought. The boat was soon raised and she is now running all right. A tailor named Voight, who has gained some notoriety before, was before the police court yesterday, for wife beating and general disturbance of the peace. He got off with a fine. Voight is the same fellow who served once as a special Follcemnn, and who foolishly sent a bul- et into the thigh of a young man whom he thought was making too much noise on the street. ‘The fellow arrested on suspicion, hav- ing some silver spoons marked “E. A. C..” was yesterday sentenced to thirty days as a vagrant. No owner for the spoons has yet appeared, but the officers are confident the fellow stole them some- where. He says he bought them of stranger at Missouri Valley, ‘Lhe stranger whs out of money and was so oorly dressed that he did not dare to ry to sell the spoons lest he should be ur- rested as a thief. He offered them cheap and so the fcllow took them., The story is a summer gnuze. The old Union Avenuc hotel 1s not im- proving its reputation in any way. The old structureis below grade, and needs to be built all over, or something of the sort. It has long been below grade in reputation. Here it was that the confi- dence man, *““The Major” shot and killed Hughes. Since then the house has been unoccupied most of the time. Now a doggerel has been startedin the base- ment, and since the keg has been opened trouble scems to break forth afresh. The other night a fresh young man from Le Mars fell into the company of sharpers there, and was soon confidenced at the dummy depot. Two nights ugo a fellow who had been drinking there, and who had_got drunk, was robbed while sleep- ing inthe yard in the rear. The fellow who is charged with robbing him was a chance acquamtance picked up in this #ame saloon. It seems that the reputa- tion of the place does not improve with ®ge any more than the building itself. el s T Sunday Services.

Robbed While Drinking With a New Friend—A Combination toSecure Cheap Homes On the Bot- toms—Brief Bluffs News. Dagged a Burglar. Yesterday morning about 2 o'clock Of- ficer Thomas, of the merchants’ police force, was going through the alley south of Broadway and east of Main street, when he saw a colored man coming up out of a cellar way of a saloon, No. 101 Main street. On seeing the officer the fellow broke and run. The oflicer gave chase and fired two shots at the fellow, but he would not stop until the officer was close upon him. e then turned and showed fight. The oflicer at close range ordered him to throw up his hands, but the fellow’s nerves were ap- parently of iron, and he looked down the barrel of the revolver and refused to throw up his hands, saying: *d——n you, you daersn’t shoot.”’ The officer snapped the gun but it failed to go off, and he tried it again, with like result. The fel- low, seeing that business was meant, started to get out of the way by another run, but the officer grabbed him and took him in. They found in his possession two boxes partially filled with cigars, and in his pockets were some loose cigars and a dollar's worth of nickles and dimes. It was afterwards learned that the cigars and change had been taken from a saloon. Entrance had been ned by the cellarway, and the fellow was just coming out when discov- soner gave his name as He has a wounded finger, which looks as if he had been shot there, and he himself accounts for the wound b i dentally. been in some similar scrape before, thus received the wound. liminary hearing before Justice Biggs yesterday, and was bound over to the grand jury in the sum of $500, in default of which August. got shot acei- upposition is that he has and He had a pre- ail until auts’ pture. feat- y from he will remain in j It seems that the me: police have made an important c Che force is becoming an essenty Ofticer Thomas has for some time real- ized that his revolver was not such a one as he ought to carry, and his experience in trying to shoot the black burgular has caused him not to delay longer in pro- vidin, miss on he would have made it very interest- ing for Thomas weapon not missed, been a case for the coroner. himself with one which will not re.

To encourage the building of homes a move is on foot which will doubtless resultin a favorable building boom. erty owners to agree to sell lots at a low price and on easy terms to those who will build themselves homes upon these lots. ment, naming the lots which the owner ‘I'he scheme is for prop- ‘The plan is to enter into an agree- will sell on these conditions at $200 cach, the purchaser to pay $20 down and $10 a month until paid for, The person sell- ing agrees to forfeit $500 for refusing to sell such lots as he names in the agree- ment for the sum named, and the condi- tion of the sale is that the pur- chaser must at once begin the ercction of a home. It is believed that a large amount of property will be brought into this syndicate, and thus secuve for the workingmen and others who want cheap homes all the advantages which they can desire or expeot, With a chance to get a lot at $200, so near to Omaha, aud also to this city, with a wagon bridge and a rail- way bridge connecting the two cities, there should be no difficulty in any man securing for himself a home of his own. Council Bluffs will gladly encourage the building of such homes, and whatever prices may be for those who desire sim- ply to speculate in these cheap lots, the arrapgements now being made will se- cure for those actually wanting to build, the advantage of » lot for a mere song. ‘T'hese lots are worth more than the sum named now, and will rise greatly in the future. but it is well to thus encourage the actual settler and give him an inside figure.

Boston Letter: It was my good for- tune to be seated one pleasant afternoon recently on a bumm!ull lawn overlooking # most exquisite sweep of country, My chair was placed near thatof the mistress of the country seat where I was calling and on the lawn were her two grown-up dnu{;hterl. They are both lovely girls, well educated, accomplished, faultlessly dressed, and thoroughly accustomed to thie best society both in shis country and abroad; yet the mother sighed as she asked: “'Did you ever see anything so ugly as the way those girls waik?" I was able tosay truthfully that I had seen a good many uglies things, “They walk like camels,” she declared, ignoring my disclaimer. L should certainly not have thought of ownhl% it, but one could not but be struck bp the force and truthfulness of her com- parison. They did walk like camels. They could swing divinely; they play the piano extremely well; one sketches very prettily while the other is no mean performer on the violin; French, German and Italian they read easily und speak at least well enough to make themselves intelligible to persons who know the single tongae to which they were born: and literature they have an interest which has led them to read with very considerable appreciation the masterpieces of two or three coun- tries. But with all these accomplishments the fact remains that they cannot walk well. They hold their elbows by their sides and wiggle themnselves forward ina fashion which would be most painful to gee were 1t not that we are so accustom- ed to this method of locomotion that we have almost come to regard it as the nor- mal one. “Ldo wish,” my hostess continued, ‘“‘that somebody would establish a walk- ing school. [t'is a popular lulluc{ that if u girl can dance she must know how to walk, but it is nonsense. Elsie dances like a .\'{]ph, but as I said, she walks like a came She has been tmlp]'hl to dance, but hasn’t been taught to walk.” ““But who is there to teach?"’ “That is just the question. There ought to be somebody. You know how iss Blank teaches whtst.” " I said, Miss Blank is & clever young woman of a fine old Boston family, who finding her- self in need of earning n living, had the origimality to hit upon the unique method of teaching whist as a means of doing it. She has plenty of pupils, 1t is said, and does her work well enough to deserve them. “No, why,” continued my companion, does not somebody who is nice and a Iady and necds to'earn a living take to teaching girls to walk? I'm sure she'd make uL]ut of money and be confering a great benefit on the community as well, Lam going to try to find somebody and have the thing started next fall, It is something we really need, and 1t is time we had it.”” The idea is not a badone, and certainly there 1s room enongh for a walking- school here. R R AN ESSAY ON BOYS. Bill Nye's Advice to a Father Who Has a Son Who Despises Liabor. New York World: The following note addressed to the editor of the World has been passed over to my bureau for elu- cidation To the Editor of the World: Please inform me the best things to do with a boy that won’t work in summer. M. L. B. This was doubtless referred to me be- cause I have given more attention to human industry than anything else per- haps. I have also been interested in the accumulation of boys. But to get right at the solution of this question, Mr. M. L. B., without stopping to try and find out what your name is by carefully scrutimzing your initials, 1 would say at first blush thatif I had a boy who would not work in summer 1 would use him as a winter boy. Nothing interests me more, M. L. B., than the careful study of boys. I would rather put on a base ball mask and watch a boy than to go stealthily into a hole in a neg- lected canyou and pull a grizzly bear out by the tail. Tt 1s more exciting, too But I think that industry among the boys is not making such fearful ravages asitdid when Iwasaboy' Boys seem now to be more able to restrain them- selves in the matter of forming industri- ous hdbits, and do not become the slaves of manual labor. 1 can seo that 1over- did it ns a boy, and now that I am abun- ‘dantly able to take life easy and enjov well-merited rest, my whole being seems to be soaked in a morbid desire to work, that even in England where it is looked upon with horror for a gentleman to ex- ert himself, I frequently lost caste by do- i"f chores around the bara. n the south, where the industry is controlled almost solely by colored peo- vle, Ican see that I lowered myselt by giving way to this wild, uncontrollable yearning for toil. So that boys should not be allowed to think that industry is the one thing for which we are created. I wish Imight say this in an impressive way, so that boys would heed it. {ow would it do for the World to send aman down to your house, M. L. B,, and see what he can do with your boy in order to make him a summer boy? The World wants to do what is right by its readers, but the trouble s to get its friends to harmonize on a policy. few weeks ago & subscriber for the puper wrote to this office asking how to pre- serve watermelon rinds so that they would not work in summer, and here you come with a wild and a Macedonian cry for a recipe that will make your boy work during the same trying season, I am anxious to adjust” this matter so that both of you will be pleased, but I have a good muny other things to think of, and it is hard to give your matter the time and thought it really merits. would like to dwell at greater length upon the horrors of industry were it not for several far more important questions that are waiting here for a reply. On my desk there is a pressing inquiry as the best methods for the amchoration of pimples, which it will notdo to ignore. There is also a tear-stained note from nt, ., asking whatto do to restore ion and induce artiticial respira- tion in a hen that has fallen into a swill barrel through no fault of hers. Another subscriber, in a spint of bandinage, 1 presume—for surely no one could be so ignorant—asks what he can do to make his hydraulic ram sing while moulting. So you can see, M. L. B., thut a man who answers all these questions during the week and then writes the matter for a thirt{-etwo page Sunday paper is what might be termed a busy man. Some would tell you if your boy will not work in summer to lilY him up with New Orleans molasses and set him 1n a warm place, but that is no way to talk to a parent. I say either use him as a win- ter boy or swap him with some man who has a boy that won't work in winter, “BrLL Nye-" ———— For female diseases and chronic dis- eases of all kinds, call on Dr. Rice, No. 11 Pearl street, Council Bluffs, Iowa.
