Main St. MAYOR ROHER'S RECEPTIO Bluffites Do Honor to Their Newly Elected Ruler. SHERIFF REEL GETS A WATCH. Feeble-Minded Fugitives Recaptured —The New County Board—New Corporation—Light for the City—Notes. The New and the Old. Yesterday at high noon there was a gath- ering of the city oficials and prominent citi- zens in the elegant parlors of the Council Bluffs club to witness the new mayor, M. F. Rohrer, take the oath of office. President McConnell, of the club, was master of cere- monies, and performed his part well. He called the gathering to order and addressed them as follows: Gentlemen :—It is with great pleasure that 1 welcome you here to-day in the name of the Council Bluffs club, to witness the adminis- tration of the oath of office to Mayor-elect M. F. Rohrer, who has been chosen from among us to il the vacancy caused by the resignation of Hon. William Groneweg, who has been elected to the state senate, and to whom this club extends its good wishes in _his new capacity. I believe this club was instrumental in bringing before our honorable city council the name of M. F. Rohrer, and as he is one of our members we feel justly proud of him, and belicve he is the right man for the place. While we are not a political organization, yet we will support our honorable mayor und council in_all measures that tend toward the up-building of Council Bluffs, We are now entered upon a new year, and to me it seems a year full of great prospects of development of this city, and I believe that the social and financial tercsts of this club are more closely alllied to the interests of the city than any other or- ganization within its limits. What we want todoisto work and pull together for tie prosperity and _up-building of our fair city. Our watchword should be Council Bluffs first, lust and all the time, The retiving mayor, William Groneweg, who has been chosén state senator, was then led upon, and made a short speech. He said he was glad of the opportunity of ex- pressing his thanks for the good will shown him, and for the hearty support he had met on all sides. He was grateful for the har- mony of action that had been manifest, in the council, and among the citizens, The: tried to work for the interests of th 3 He had no axes to grind, 10 encmics to_pun- ish, or friends to favor. He had simply tried to do his duty. He had been acused of violating his oath of office by not enforcing all the laws, If he was guilty of this, it was cause he had simply followed the prece- dents laid down for him, and because he had tried to comply with the principles as they had been expressed as the will of the cit 26 When he was in Des Moines recently, ing to get some uction taken by which the assessments would be made in_accordance with the law, the valuation to be at cash rates, instead of 40 per cent, Governor Larabee informed him that whatever the law might be, the precedent was clea) 1inst such a mode of assessment. If pi edent was better than law, oras good, for the governor, it was good enough for the mayor of this city. He was glad that Mr. Rolirer had been’ selected as mayor. They had both come to this city ith out acent. The speak twenty-seven years, twic lived in his native town. Who could have more interest in the prosperity of thecity than those who had thus lived here for years, whose only all was here? At the close of Mr. Groneweg's r 'Squire Burke rose and_administered the outh of office to Mayor Rohrer. The new mayor then addressed the gathering as fol- lows: “President McConnell, Members and Guests of the Council Bluffs Club—Gentle- men: The solemn duty just performed by Judge F. A. Burke reminds me_anew of the fact that our worthy board of aldermen have conferred on me an honor that I do not merit and, I am fearful, T cannot sustain. Theonly consolation I can find at this moment is that my t in office will be short and I hope will be to the city’s advantage The kind and thoughtful invitation of the club through our energetic_president, S. P. McConnell, to have the oath of office admin- istered in these pleasant, homelike rooms as- sures me that you fully ¢ndorse all the grand public _improvements begun during the year 1887 by Mayor William Groneweg and Aldermen J. Danforth, L. Hammer, S. S, Keller, P. Lacy, George Metcalf and Lucius ‘Wells and that you desire them pushed for- ward to completion, and new ones inau- gurated, in order that our city may keep pace With our rapidly growing population, Your presence here, to-day, gentlemen, leads me 10 believe that you confirm the action of our city council in my sele as mayor, This to me is extremely g , und in return all T can possibly promise, is that I will try to do my best for the city at large, aided by the wisdom of my able cabinet. The past few days I found mysclf, for the first time in my short life, in the hands (unsolicited on my part) of our seven leading daily papers—the largest and most powerful daily press enjoyed in the commonwealth of Towa. I thank them for the tender and, I trust, harmless manner with which they have handled me. I am fully aware of the fact that the mayor of any city i8 by custom the first representa- tive on which to get service, and by so doing reach the city itself. 1 am' convinced that your public reception given me now, is not a compliment_due me, but-on the other hand, due to the city of Council Bluffs the coming largest city in the state. I, therefore, on behalf of our 85,000 people, return you their thanks for your presence. The members of the club have kindly tendered me the use of the rooms the balance of this New Year day. The doors will be open to the publi and I shall be pleased to hav: u all remain and to receive any other friends who may call. In conclusion, allow me to wish you all many hadpy returns of this prosperous year.” Other short specches followed. C. M. Harl, who has rightful_claims to being the silver-tongued orator of this portion of the state, made an eloquent address. M. H. Shepherd was called out and made a hit. He hit the croakers bard and expressed his satisfaction that the growth of the city and its numerous enterprises had gived the lie to the doleful predictions of those who had no faith in Council Bluffs. He was full of confidence for 1888, and after paying a high tribute to the new mayor, expressed the belief that so long as Roher was mayor lots in Beer's addition would never drop a dollar in value. Hon. W. H. M. Pussy was called for. He said he supposed that he and others of the old, gray-haired citizens had been invited there as frightful examples. They had lived here for years, and all had their turn in the council. “They were here when this city was a hamlet. There had been great changes since the days of the old, jerky stage coach. It was probably the infusion of so much young blood that had brought these changes about. He wanted to express his hear operation with the younger men in their at- tempts to make this 'one of the fofemost cities in the west, The very opposition by which the city had been surrounded could ‘be util- ized to'its good. The gray haired men were secing things they did not” dream of thirty years ago. He wanted rn the new inayor of the dangerous position in which he found himself. 1t was risky to be mayor, Cleveland was mayor once. In closing he spoke more seriously of the intent of govern- ment, and he gave the new mayor some very wholesome advice about *being stern in his handling of the disorderly element of the city, and yet not to become intolerant in his exercise of power. Colonel Sapp was uext called, and made a happy speech. He congratulated the council on having made the choice of so energetic and honest a man as mayor. He sboke of the great changes wrought in the city since he first came here, and expressed the belief that the city was now on the eve of such prosperity as was never dreamed of by its most enthusiastic prophet. Alderman Wells was made to follow. He had been of the first to suggest Mr. Rohrer's name for mayor. He did 50 because he be- lieved that he was not only full of energy but level headed. The progress made th past year was great, but it was but the be- ginning. After the speeches informal congratula- tions followed. Mayor Rohrer remained at the club rooms all_the “afternoon receiving and hospitably caring for his friends. e He Was Well Watched. Yesterday afternoon a few of Sheriff Perry Reel's friends perpetrated a genuvine and marks, - pleasant surprise upon him. As he was fak- ing a last, lingering look at the quarters he has filled, he was approached by Clerk Shea and asked what time it was. Perry knew and gave the desired information, but the ques- tioner dissented from the reliability of the sheriff’s timepiece and tendered him & beauti- ful $225 watch, which he said would keep more time and do it in better shape than _any other watch in the county. The sheriff ac- ceptea the gift and neatly expressed his thanks. —nnn Cross-cut saws, Odell & Bryant. — - 1f you desive to get a new Hall type writer cheap, drop a postal card to H. A. P, Ber ofice.

Council Bluffs, as a ¢ has just closed the most prosperous year of her existence, and with the public improvements now under contemplation there will be much more ac- complished during 1888, but there is need more vim and push with the capitalists of our city. The new bridge will be completed in June and the motor railway will soon be in operation to lake Manawa. These two enterprises of themselves will have a tend- ency to attract large additions to our popula- tion. Business men secking to open up new enterprises can be induced to remain here and becomne citizens with us, provided proper steps are taken to show them the advantages we have here. But in order to do this we must have an organization that will bring about concert of action. Where is our board of trade! We have heard nothing of late about it, further than the facts that the pro- jectors have no money, and that there is not enough interest taken in the organization to insure its success. The board of trade should be reorganized, and solicitations made for membershipamong our young and encrgetic business men. Matters of vast importance need looking after, by them, and they and they alone as an organization, can do it. We must have a fine hotel built this year. We must have a fine union depot. We must encourage manu- facturcrs and many other enterprises here before we can expect to attain the greatness that our natural facilities demand. Let us have a general reorganization of the board of trade, throw plenty of new blood into it and then let us all roll up our sleeves and help to make the year 1538 the grandest in its history. — -— City Council.

Hurd of his alleged kidnaping Saturday morning last is not believed by the police. Captain Buck- ley, in whose district the Kidnaping is said to have taken place,laughed heart- ily when he read the account of Hurd's strange tale. “Forty-five years old, gray hair and mustache, and just as he was about tobe married. That's hard. Left his home, 75 West Nincteenth street, Saturday morning, stayid away three days, re- turned to the woman of his choice terday and was marvied shortly afte Well, that’s a great yarn,” the captain said. “It's the first’ time I ever heard of the case and I'm not inclined to take any stock in story. No report of any mysterious aisappearances has been sent to this station, which, I think, would have been done,had any man been miss- ing in any part of the city.” SDo you believe, captain, that an organized gang of kiduappers exists in this city?” **No, sir; most assuredly not.” *To what, then, do you a story?” *It looks to me very much like too much Christmas festivity, although in his interview Hurd says he never ibe the T e R DO YOU INTEND TO BUY L PLIAITO OR ORGAIT?
