The calendurs being distributed by the Union Pacific do not meet with a very cordial reception among the Council Bluffs business houses. Unfortunately the calendars make public the fact that the Union Pacific runs between Omaha, or Kansas City, and_ wes| ern cities, but omits the name of Council Bluffs, its starting point and terminus, not even putting it in small type. The Blufites do not relish being thus ignored. One i werchant promptly tossed the offensive ¢ endar in the stove: the minute he noticed the omission, The council committee has considered the protests of those who object to the special assessments for sewe of Fifth avenue, and has reached the conclusion that it is too late now to remedy the causes of complaint. "The aldermen do not evidently believe in the saying, it's ne too late to mend.” The intimation is made that the mode of assess ment is not fully equitable or fair, but the assessment has been made and, faulty or not, must stand. 1t is not unlikely that the courts will be asked to review this matter, Charl *holson, the driver of the patrol wagon, 1id to have lost his budge of office in a rough and tumble with a young fellow named erson.

By @ notice given in another column it appears that there is promise of an awakening or resurrection. It is proposed holding a meeting at the club rooms next Monday night for the purpose of considering some method of reorganizing the good work, which started long ago, and was for a time carricd forward with so much enthusiasm, 1t is suggested that there is no need of keep- ing both organizations in active operation, and that the club can add easily the neces sary features for securing the results for which the board was organized. The social feature of the club isan assured success, Th re many members who would like to see a little more attdntion paid by this organ- ization to matters which are of practical moment to the city, the securing of various enterprises, the furthering of moves which Will build up the city, and the encouraging of all measures helpful to the husiness interests of Council Bluffs. These matters und others will be talked over at the proposed meeting, and there should bea full attendance, not only of the members of the club, but also of the board of trade, and others who feel in elined to join in the move to help build up Council Bluffs, — Splendid Business Opening For the right man_who has a capital of $10,000.

A Brilliant Reception. The reception given last evening by Mr. and Mrs. 8. P. MacConnell proved fully as enjoyable and clegant as was anticipated. Expectations ran high in advance of the com- ing social event, but *was fully met in its realization. The reception was given in the rooms of the Council Biuffs club, of which Mr. MacConnell is the president, to the members of which organization, with other friends, the reception was tendered. The in- vitations numbered 350, and so large a ma- jority responded by a personal presence that the parlors and rooms were as well filled as comfort and convenience would permit. The guests were received in the large par- lar, Mr. and Mrs. MacConnell being assisted by their friend, Miss Haskell, of Atchison, Kan., an accomplished young lady who has been their guest during the holiday season. Mrs. MacConnell was dressed in white silk, en train, trimmed with lace and wore pearls; Miss Haskell wore a yellow and white pro- ilk, also en train. One of the happiest ts running throughout all the details arrangements was the use of the two , yellow and white, which were promi- in'the costumes of the two ladies. The ntion parlor w. attractively ar- ranged and tastefully decorated, smilax grac- ing the chandeliers and cut flowers adorning the mantel. The orchestra, stationed in_the oftice, ren- red soft, sweet music, and when the hour was passed in the fricndly greetings, the rooms, which had been eanvassed for dancing, : thrown open. Other rooms were de- voted to card tables and other modes of en- tertainment for the guests who did not choose to dance. The music was furnished by Dalby’s orchestra, there being sixteen nuni- bers, chosen with rare good taste, and exe lently rendered. The numbers embraced se lections from the lighter and more popular operas, and some numbers which were of § local interest, one being the waltz by Mrs. Skeiton, “Queen of the and one or two others of the compo- sition of Prof. Dulby, of this city. As a pleas- ing change, there were no small programmes furnished, but at cach end of the room ap- 1 1 upon the walls the order of dances in ters of gold on white, the two colors which were prominent in other arrangements. The lettera were of Mikado art, and the orders being bordered with smilax proved an at- tractive as well as convenient form for im- parting the desived information to the guests, Tn none of the features of the entertain- ment did there appear more good taste and individuality, than in the rooms where the refreshments wi served. There were two large tables, and about an hour after the dancing parlor had been thrown open, the doors of the dining room opened and guests made their ingress and « and enjoyed the hospitable spread most heartily. The tables in their arrangements and adorn- ments brought out the favorite colors ot the evening, Both tables we actly alike, so that the description of one will suf both. Tu the v wasa large square yellow plush. This was bordered with smilax. Upon the plush resteda fruit de- sivn, made of orangcs and white gr other combination of the two colors. diagonal corners were white carnations tied yellow ribbons. On the other corners Mikado napkius of yellow and white, rranged in rosettes. The souvenirs of thé evening were very happily ted, they be- ing policemen’s clubs, very small, made of white wood and tied with yellow ribbons. The club members especially appreciated this humorous touch upon the name of their ganization, These little_souvenirs were rranged at one end of cach_table $0 as 1o n, in Mikado letters, the initials of the president of the club, *S. P. M, while on the opposite end the little clubs Were made to form the initials of the club, “C. B. C.” The gue © served with coffee, French flutes, olive ices and cakes wereall of the prevailing colors, white and yellow. Lemonade was served through- out the evening from a large cake of ice, the purity of the color, with the golden of the lemons, being in harmony with the white and yellow. ‘The arrangements thus happily made were carricd out with charming ease and resulted in making the occasion a most happy one for all participants. 1t was a social event which will ever occupy & prominent place in mem- ory's record of this sea s i The Central drug store, under the management of J.

They both reside at No. aplace of rather shadow reputation. Their testimony was so violently contradicting that the judge ordered the chief of police to “pull” the house and bring in every inmate. The patrol wacon was sent down, and shortly afterward a load of the colored aristocracy was whirled up Broad- way at a lively rate. There were eleven in all, ranging in age from two years to fifty. Two of the party, William Greenand Charles Jones, were released, as it was shown that they rented a room there and no charge was preferred against them. Several witnesses were examined, and established the fact that the cause of the outbreak was an 11l feeling that had long existed between the ebony-hued Ida and her mother-in-law. Mrs. Washing- ton, sr., insisted that Ida was too old to live with her son Jake, and had on one occa- sion brought a hatehet into play, to help enforce her arguments to that effect, and at another time a younger son, William, had taken it upon himself to administer a thrashing. Mrs, Jake maintained that she was well able to attend to the needs of her husband, and that she s going to do it. She claimed that she was paying rent for both families, and that “‘dem odder folks )t to git out. Here's dis yer ole white gal hats libin® wid dem niggers, and I'se a portin’ ‘em all.

The spanking was a severe oue, and the marks of the paddle were visible for several days. ‘The claim was made that the boy was side A d - s R o waeep oo JANUARY 6. 1888, alarming. Other evidence was introduced, however, to show that the very evening after the whipping he was out and about, engaged with his sister in bringing 1n wood for the house. One neighbor said that the next day, or two days, after the whipping the boy was playing with other boys and turning somer- saults, and uot always striking on his feet. There was the inference thi some of the marks upon his person might have been caused by this ground and lofty tumbling. The boy insisted that the statement of this wilnx' should be corrected. He was a bet- ter athlete than that, He struck on his feet every time, From this it appeared that he must have been in better physical condition than was represented. The testimony of the doctors was to the ef- fect that the boy had evidently been struck pretty sharply, but none claimed the wounds to be dangerous or alarming, The board did not attempt to sottle the question as to whether there should be cor- poral punishment in the schools or not. No attempt was made to determine the question whether a lighter punishment would not have been wiser or more in accord with the nature of the offense. The only question sought to be settled was whether ‘the charge was true that the teachers had “‘cruelly and unjusti- flably" punished the boy. The board unan mously decided in favor of the teachers, find- g that the charges were not sustaine he young ladies have suffered much by the notoriety given to the affair, more prob: bly than the boy suffered, und surely less de- servedly. It would seem that with this find- ing of the board, and the facts as they were developed, the ' father of the boy would not care to press the matter further. He seetns to be on the warpath, however, and threatens to appeal to some other tribunal. The public interest in the case will die away, however, there being a feeling of confidence that th ofticials who have investigated the case fully are fully competent to judge and are honest enough to give expression to their convic- tions, [ — er Music Co.'s Prizes. e drawn ller Music drew the Mu The following numbers ! prizes at the store of the Mu company: Ticket No. 4,208 organ.

The readers of the Be: will remember the appearance of an item some two weeks ago in which it was stated that a young lady, Emma Mott by name, had applied to Justice Schurz for a warant for the arrest of a young man_living in Monmouth, 1ll.

Bald- win, The Silent School. The attendance at the institution for the deaf and dumb is increasing steadily, but still it is not so large as it has been in prev- ious ,years, One of the causes assigned is the fact that under the new law the pupils are not given the reduced rates for railway fare, and as many of the parents are poor they shrink from the expense of sending their chilaren here to school. At the present rate of increase, however, the attendance will soon reach the full numbers, The annual report of the institution is not out yet. 1t is being printed in the office of the institution, and for some reason the work is not progress- 2 as rapidly as it ought. The annual re- ports of the other state institutions are all distributea. There has been a demand that teachers in the institution should be oxmln- the as teachers public schools.

Their eristics What They Think About the Land Question, The great Indian warrior chiefs, ting Bull, Red Cloud, Spotted agle, Hump, and Charger, have been busy the past summer with their followers dis- cussing the Dawes reservation bill, says aletter from Pierve to the Indianapolis Journal.

The adviee of Bull is weighed and he is an extraordinarily intelligent Indian and realizes that his name is khown throughout the ecivilized world, Four years ago the old chief passed through Pierre on his through Standing Rock from Fort Randal, where he was held as prisoner of war. His arvival drew hundreds of people to the steamboat landing, and the old chief did a rush of business sell- ing his autographs at 50 cents apic On this oc ion he had cau 0 become enraged over the duplicity pr d by Colonel Dell Coy. He handed Sitting Bull a half, and requested that he sign is name on a f from a book which »xtended. He did so.and the colonel retired with twelve autographs which he presented to his friends at 25 cents apicce. His book was manifold. Bull realized that he had been duped, and had he been favored with an opportunity he no doubt would have made bad medi- cine for the colonel. Hump was one of Sitting Bull’s lead- ing war He is now chicf of the Indian police, and lives sixty miles from here. He has doneaway with the tepee, erected log house, and also induced some fifty of his people to do likewise. He has also discarded his long hair, the blanket and breech-cloth, and donned the attive of a full-fledged American. He takes a gruat pride in beiag compli- monted on_ his natty appearance, and if all the Indians possessed the ability of Hump the Indian question would soon be settled advantageously to the race.
