Four of the advance corps of Andress novelty show are at the Creston house, arranging for the appearance ot the show itself tor four days, commencing August 3. There was no session of the district court yesterday. The adjournment for the day was on account of the death and funeral of Mrs, Reed, wife of Judge Reed, of the supreme court. 1t is expected that Judge Carson will this morning declare opinion in regard to the application for a receiver for the Hotel Manawa. The saloon cases will be taken up again to-day. J. D. Doty and Miss Mead Moore were esterday afternoon mar n the par- ors of the Creston house, J ce Schurz officiating.

Day's of} nd a very en- couraging t made toward uring a large manufacturing enterprise, the owners of which are planning on remov- ing from their present lovation. ‘The move for establishing a Chantauqua assembly is going along all right. ‘The prospects are good for raising the neces sary amount to sceure agood location. Those interested are working nobly to get it started on a sound basis, and so ar- ranged as to insure its permanent success, There is still a demand for Langtry tickets. There have been three addi- tional rows put into the balcony and last evening there were only nine seats left in the whole house. The opera house will have its capacity fully tested Friday night, ‘The second alarm of fire turned in yes- terday afternoon was caused by “the starting up afresh of the fire in the stove in the laundry where the earlier blaze had been put, out. The smoke coming from thestove alarmed those near by, but there was found to be no further need of work on the part of the tire lads. One fellow who was before Judge Aylesworth yesterday morning on a charge of vagrancy, when asked what his business was, said that it was mainly having fits. 'The unfortunate wanted to work his way back to the voor house at Des Moines and was given a chance to try it. The old gasoline street lamps were being tuken out and stored yesterday, to make room for the new oncs, under the contract recently made by the city. The new lamps are said to be far superior to those now being cast aside, and if so they must be excellent, for the old ones were more brilliant than the gas. The board of trade is lying vpr{, dorm- ant at present. There ‘should 'be new life infused in this organization 1n some way. When wide-awake, and in work- ing trim this organization did much for the city, and secured scveral valuable enterprises, There should be a fresh hold ‘taken, even if the heated term is enervating. The new round house of the Union Puacific is to be a tine one. It will be of brick and with stone trimmings. It will large, and arranged so as to easily double the capacity when necessary. The location is fixed between the elevator and freight houses. It is to be built at once. ‘The stone and other material is being vlaced on the ground, and arrangements were being made yesterdsy for more brick. The public 1s gotting very imputient about the motor line. The season is rap- idly passing and there is little being done apparently towards completing the' line. The frequent promises to complete it within atew days, ora week or two, have grown chestnutty and there 1s little use to publish more of them. There re- mains but little to be done, but that little is quite essential. There is a rush for the lake daily, and with the motor line in runniuf erder better accommodations would be afforded. Notices were served on the Pacific house and the Ogden yesterday requir- ing the running of their sewerage into the Broadway sewer, instead of running into priyate sewers direct into the creck. The change can be readily made at the Ogden house, as the sewer how in use runs right across the hne of the Broad- way sewer. ‘Uhe change cunnot be made at the Pacific house without considerable trouble und expense. The sewer now in use runs from the rear of the hotel, and to change as required will compel the running of the new sewer from the rear right through the property into Broad- way, —_——— J. W. & E. L.

AWOMANJUMPS FROM A WINDOW The Complicated Machinery For Abat- ing Nuilsances—Funeral of Mrs. Judge Reed—Sentiments of. Crot Case, A Laundry on Fire. About 7 o’clock yesterday morning the fire department was catled out to work on a fire which had broken out in the Council Bluffs steam laundry, No. 724 P adwny. The origin of the blaze is n known. When firstdiscovered it was in the drying room, and as the fire in the stove had been started but a short time before the reasonable supposition 1s that this was in some way the cause. The wood work of the room was dry as could be, and the flames spread rapidly. The fire department did good work, and gpeedily drenched the place, and saved further damage by fire beyond the cha ring ot the wood work. 'The building is [ owned by Mr. A. C. Larson, whose loss will reach probably #%1,000, on which there insurance to cover. The machinery in the laundry was very little damaged, the chief loss being the cloth- ing, most of which will require rewash- ing, und some of which will be damagea more or less. The loss to Messrs. Fisher & Burg, the proprietors of the laundry, will probably not exceed £300. The 18 diflicult of determination, pends somewhat on the eas ment with patrons whose clothing wasin the fire. As they have been using u\'l-ry endeavor to please the public, are both hard workers and doing their best to build up the business, those who have any claims for damaged linen will doubtless be generous in settling. The laundry will be in readiness to proceed with business as usual in a few days. J. H. D’Emery and family resided up stairs over the laundry. They were awakened by finding their room filled with smoke and they made a hasty exit. Mrs. D’Emery i‘umued from the uppor window and ‘fell upon the awning, from which she fell to tga sidewalk, striking in her fall one of the men employed in the laundry. She wasuninjured by her sensational leap. The damage to the furniture up stairs wus about $200. No insurance. Thke German Insurance company had a Kohov of $1,000 on the building, an on ouschold goods and $125 on machinery belonging to Larson. The London As- 3 nce company haa $1,250 on the build- ———— How Not to Abate Nuisances, The city marshul is being Kkept busy responding to demands for his oflicial at- tention to be naid to numerous nui- sances which exist 1n various parts of the city. Under the present complicated ar- rangement of laws and ordinances, it is difficult for him to act very promptly or satisfactorily. Any citizen complaming of a nuisance must first call the attention of the alderman of his ward to the exist- ing nmsance, That alderman must in- spect the place in company with the mayor, or with some other alderman, and after the two have got through smelling, they report. The board of health then instructs the city marshal to serve a notice to have the nuisance abated. If no attention is paid to this, then the board of health can instruct the marshal to file a complaint. Then a suit i8 begun, with the usual con- tingencies for delays and contests, Such is the outline of the complicated machin- ery. The city marshal really has very little power ip these cases, and yet he is naturally the first ohe to whom an indig- nant eitizen applies. There are many causes of complaint which individuals do not feel like taking action upon. Many shrink from complaining of their neigh- bors and wait for the city marshal to act. It seen:s that there should be a health officer in fact, as well as in name, one who would be paid for looking after these cases, and who would be held responsi- ble. ‘I'here are many alleys where alarm- ing nuisances are allowedto remain week after week, The strects, tco, are often used in a manner which would be an in- sult to a decent alley. ————— Kuneral of Mrs. Reed. The funeral of Mrs. Judge R. Reed was held yesterday afternoon, and was very largely attended. The courts of the city adjourned, and most of the members of the bar were present. ‘The services were very appropriate to the burial of one of her character and life, they being simple, but very impressive. Rev. Dr. Phelps, pastor of the Presbyterian church, of which she has been so long a member, officiated. The remains were in a richl) draped cloth casket, and the floral adornments were simple, but gracefully arranged. A plamn iold plate, with the siwple inscription of her name and age, was upon the casket, A targe number of carriages filled with sympathizing and sorrowing ones followed the remains to their last resting place. . Trying the Wrong Man. The Red Oak Sun has been devoting much space to the details of the Dr. Cross murder trial, and it expresses the sentiments of many in saying: Attacking the character and malign- ing the memory ot a dead man should be regarded ae unmanly in & court room as it would be anywhere else. The Sun has previously expressed itself regarding the treatment of several of the women in the Cross trial, while under cross-exam- ination, and the cruel and unfeeling at- tack upon the memory of a dead man 1n the presence of his widow. A stranger in the court room could have thought Dr. McKune was on trial for getting kille and that the witnesses in his behalf were accomplices with him 1 the crime of being shot to death. —_—— Returned With Honors. The excursionists returned yesterday morning from Spirit Lake, whero they went to attend the state regatta which occurred Tuesday and Wednesday. With them returned the Council Bluffs double, Messrs, Sadler and Livingstone. They won the junior race, making the fastest time on record. In the senior they had a ‘‘sure thing,” barring accidents, but in turning the stake boat they made a mis- calculation and sounded it wrong. This mistake caused them to take third place. Sadler and Livingstone having con- cluded their tour, after an absence of some six weeks, durinz which they were very successful and won several races, will now return to their daily labors. The entire party were all well pleased with their visit and treatment. E. H. Merriam of the Council Bluffs rowing association having been elected secretary and treasurer of the state asso- ciation, he, with others interested, will use their influence to have the next state regatta on Lake Mana ————— A Beastly Assault. A warrant was yesterday 1ssued @for Justice Schurz’s court for the arrest of Dan Grifin on the charge of rape. The complainant is Miss Sarah Wykhoff, a girl aged about sixteen, who lives in the southern t of the city. The statement is made that she went in company with Dan Griffin. Wednesday night to ‘‘the island," as it is called, and while there he overcame her by brute force,and after i amefully, left her to get she might. She was found about 3 o'clock yesterday morning, in a deplorable condition, and was brought to her home. Her sister came up town yes- terday to secure the arrest of the man. reported ghat the victim of the outrage was unable to leave her bed and that up till noon yesterday she was in an almost unconscious condition. Griffin is a rail- way man and the officers went after him last evening. —— Peraon aragraphs. J. T. Hartwell, an Omaha merchant, was in the city yesterday. B.

The Deep Vermillion Tint That Ho Gave Santa Fe, San Francisco Examiner: “The qu est character that has come to New M 1c0 In many years, and the one that has led the strangest caraer,is a tall, uncouth fellow called *Pine Tree’ Jim,” said J. D, La Werer, of Sunta Fe. *‘Pine I'ree” Jin is on old Californian, by the wuy. 1 do not know his real name, and I do not know that anybody else does down our way, for he neyer went by any other there. From mining in various places in this state, he went to Colorado,and had a series of experiences about the time that Leadville was on the verp top notch of its boom. I believe he never got anything there, tll()ufzh, thut amounted to anytning, and along in the spring of '81 he came to Santa Fo. He was about the hardest looking customer you ever saw--rough in appearance, was not particularly clean, as you may suppose, had 8 scraggly beard, and was the general picture of the impecunious mountain prospector. He was about six feet two inches in hcight, and has often reminded me of the pic- turesiyon see of Uncle Sam, supposed to typify our national character. It was on account of his great height that he took his name, ‘*An odd hfe he lead around the Santa Fe suloons, until he was so much on the ragged edge that he nad to do something, Then he got hold of an old burro, some bacon, etc, and a small outfit, and went twenty-live south, into the Cerilios moun- tains.” Below him, but near at hand, lay the old placeres, or placer mines, of the early Spaniards. These grounds were so old that work had very many years be- fore ccased upon them, thoy being, as was supposed, thoronghly worked out, Jmmense quantities of ‘gold had been realized from them, and Pioe Tree Jim conceived the idea that the place whence the gold came was high up in the Ce- rillos. “The fellow was right, forin three or four months he struck a vein of gold that while not very wiae, was astound- |||¥ly rich, and in less than a week he sold out for £2530,000. The purchasers of it were W. W. Griflin, president of the First national bank of Santa Fe, and T. B. Catron, and Waldo, wealthy lawyers of the town, the latter the solic- itor of the Atchison, Topeka & Santa Fe railroad. Well, that mine to-day is the best property in New Mexico. “*And what did Jim do with his clean quarter of a million? Got on the biggest tear you ever heard of. He came to Santa Fe and spent his money lavishly, royally. He was not a cultivated fellow; had no taste for Books or the arts, but he liked a good time, from the wild western standpoint, and he had it, The whisk; and champagne that Jim drank, -ni made other people drink, and the money he threw around was a sight to see. Then, too, Jim staked all his friends, and played everything with a lavish hand. “It couldn’t have been over three months again till the long, lithe miner didn't have a cent. He was plumb broke. Well, he started out on one ot his lone jaunts at prospecting again and wound up m Arizona.
