Tipton—"I'm disappointed. 1 ex- pected the city would be in a regular blaze, and when I saw them lighted I felt so bad I could hardly sleep that night atall. 1kept thinking of ‘Twinkle, twinkle, little star.’ I believe the lights are too high. If they were down they would be all right. It worked better last night, though.” Henry Spetman—'*All right.”” C. B. Waite—"They don't seem quite so bright as last summer, but perhaps that's & notion. I guess they're all right.” Judge James—"A great improvement. I believe, though, they can be made to do still better. There's o shade, put on, as 1 under- stand, to protect from snow, and that casts » shadow.. I think this shadow can be done away with.” Alderman Wells—"Think it Is doing well. We cannot expect perfection in aday. It will be better, probably, than now." City Attorney Holmes—*'I guess they are pretty good. The time to test them is in stormy weather, when we need them. There is one thing certain, they don't come up to the expectations. Judge Aylesworth—"Tt's first rate. I sleep all night now, without a light in my room. It even casts a light down cellar so that I can get my coal without a lantern. Great thing.” Patrol Driver Nicholson—*""They ght up the city in great shape. There is no troublo in ‘‘getting there” now with the wagon.’* Carl Morgan—*'I doun’t think they amount to much, They don’t come up to m tations, but may do better after a while, Dell Morgan (brother of the ubove)—It's a big thing.

It hus been my idea all along that lower lights would "be better. Caun't tell much about it until the other lights are out, and 1 don’t stay up that late.” ‘Auditor Kinnehan—'They are too high. It may be a good advertisement for the city.” Weighmaster Amy—'‘The are too high, too far apart, or not powerfulenough. Some- thing wrong.” James O'Neil—They are all right. They are well distributed over the city, and fincly located.” Chariey Moore—"Pretty good so far. I think they are a great improvement on gas.” Squire Schurz—"It's all right. It's way ahead of anything we have had yet.” Jucob Sims—They are all right, I guess. Hard1y enough of them.” Joe Bacharach—*They ought to take oft two lengths. All joking aside, they are a great success. When they get to running in good shape they will be 0. K." M. J. Alworth—"I think they are a good thing and much better than gas.

Can see to read a newspaper in my window.” Frank Guanella—*I don't think they are near as good as they might be.” G. W. Ferguson—"I don’t know as they have had a fair test, but thus far the object has not been -attained. The tops of the buildings are lighted, but the streets are dark. 1 regard them as unsatisfactory.” Policeman Unthank—‘Much better than gas. After the other lights are out the city is well lighted with them. They are doing first rate.” S William Arnd—"I guess they are allright. Can tell better after the gas goes out.” J. C. Mitchell-*I think its a success, used to be sodark in our part of town couldn’t tell whether you was on the bridge orin the creek. We can see now to read a newspaper.” Ira Hendricks—*I think they are all right but not enough of them.” 8 W. H.

Pusey—"A grand success. A dark night will show their power, aud that is when we need light the most.” Dr. Waterman—“A fine thing; give a splendid light.” Frank Yenawine—*Very favorably im- pressed with their work so far.” James Anderson—'*More advantage to resi- dence portion than the business part of the city. It impedes our work, for a burglar or crook can see us before we can see them.” George Rudio—**Very nice.” Jerry Shea—"The towers are too high. They are going to take off a couple of lengths.” Harkness Bros—''We like it very much.” We get very littie benefit hero.” k 'W. A. Maurer—"'Quality good, not enough quantity.” 8. S.

There has been some stir caused among the circle of barristers by the filing of a peti- tion for the disbarment of A. W. Askwith, of Avoca. Mr. Askwith is well-known through- out the county. He was a student in Wright & Baldwin’s office in this city, and soon after being admitted to the bar went to Walnut, and afterwards formed a partnership with Fremont Benjamin, at Avoca, He and Ben- jamin did not have the most harmonious-sort of a dissolution. There has been some bad blood shown on both sides, according to re- ports, and there are naturally suspicions that Benjamin is in same way connected with this attempt to have Askwith disbarred. The petition is, however, free from any such inti- mation, it being drawn by Buird & Meyerly, of Harlan. It recouuts a number of cases, which if proved, show Askwith to be un-’ worthy a place at the bar, The glst of most of these specifications is that he betrayed the secrets and .interests of his clients. It is claimed that in one case in which he was at- torney for a man who was seeking to make a railway company pay for some stock killed, Askwith acted really as the attorney for the company, and received pay from both sides in the suit. Other similar acts are charged. A still more serious charge grows out of his being attorney for the Walnut saloon cases, It is claimed that he represented fto these cli- ents that it was necessary to have money to ‘‘sugar up" the prosecuting attorneys, 80 as to secure desired continuances and 'delays, thereby securing for them the privilege of keeping _their saloons open for & time longer. The money was paid over and in, stead of being used for the purposes stated- it went into the depths of Askwith's pockets, while at the same time he was receiving his regular fees a8 an attorney. No one who knows the attorneys whose names are brought into unpleasant connection with the affair, would believe that they would be guilty of receiving any such money, even if offered by by Askwith. Askwith, himself, denies that there is any truth in these charges against him andgis preparing to fight the case. His former partner, Fremont’ Benjamin, is also in court. He was retained as attorney for Arch Coffman when the latter wus ar- rested for killing Jack Main. Benjumin claims that Coffman did not live up to their agreement, and that he must pay him $2,200 for his fces in the case. The suit against Coffman is now on trial at Avoca. Coffman claims that Benjamin betrayed his confidence. He paid Benjamin all that he was entitled to receive, and when he would pay no more Henjamin began a warfare upon him. Coftf- man.claims that Benjamin, after dropping out of the case, went ‘“‘over to the enemy;" in other words, that he went to the prosect ting attorneys and informed them of all the facts on which Coffman’s defence rested, thus betraying nis confidence. It is also claimed that Benjamin went to other attor- neys and sought to employ them to prosecute Coffman. If these matters are proved up it is predicted that proceedings for disbarring Benjamin will follow. e Always Busy. Never idle, but always at work, is Tip- ton, the real estate broker.

Roberts will, in a few days, leave for Penn- sylvania, to take the position ot h ead teacher i the institution for the deafand dumb, at Pittsburg. Prof. Roberts has been in this work for fifteen years or more, and is con- sideved o very fine teacher, as ‘is evidenced by his being offered this position. He has for over three years been connected with the institution here, and has proved himself tobea valuable map. The institution, to which he s now going, offered bim several hundred dollars more salary than he was Bere receiving, and naturally he accepted. | NO ADVESTISING SCHEME TO WORK OFF OLD GOODS, BUT — | X FAQOT|— MADE NECESSARY BY OUR REMOVAL 10 ANOTHER LOCATION, TWENTY PER ENT CUT OFF!

SWANSON MUSIC COMPANY, 329 WEST BROADWAY, COUNCIL BLUFFS, - — It seems that Towa is losing many of its ‘best men on account of the falscly economi- cal policy followed in regard to salaries of teachers. The legislature has been very much inclined to cut down appropriations for these institutions, without regard to the effect. One of the results has been that this state has been producing and developing teachers, only to have them quickly taken away by other states by the inducement of better wages. lowa does not seem to appre- nlinu: itsownas much us others appreciate them. Prof. Booth, born in this state, educated here, and one of the best teachers in the whole country, has been taken away by the Philadelphia institution. this state not being willing to pay a8 good @ salary by several hundred dollars. Prof. Kenne who also taught here, has been taken away by the institution at Jack- sonville, I1l. _He was also born in Iowa and educated in this state. Prof. Blattner is another instance of the result of a too niggardly policy. He was also a native Iowan, and was never outside of the state until he was called to Texas and given charge of the institution there, Texas recog- nizing his ability and the value of his experi- ence. A few hundred dollars a year more than Towa would pay him was all that took him away. Miss Christie, one of the most valued of the lady teachers at the institution here, is now filling a responsible position in the Wisconsin institution. There are many others who have been likewise taken aw: rom Iowa. With these facts right before their eyes it might be well for the legislators'in making their ap- propriations to consider whether they are not practicing a false economy in allowing Towa’s own intellectual products to be taken away by a few dollars of silver, ——— Tipton for any kind of a real estate deal, 527 Broadway. e — Kirkland will give you bargains in watches, clocks and jewelry, —_—— Fine mixed candies, 1le per lb., Troxell Bros. ——— Insure with Wadsworth, Etnyre & Co. - Opera glasses at Mrs. E.
