The members of the Council Bluffs bar held a meeting yesterday afternoon at the oftice of Sapp & Pusey to make ar- rangements for a proper dedication of the new court house, which is nearly completed. A committee of nine was appointed to confer with the board of county commissioners, and perfect all arrangements. The members have taken the m: tter earnestly into consid- eration, and there is no doubt but what the ceremonies will be very imposing, and well worthy of the beautiful struc- ture and the city in which it is located. The date of completion is not known at present, but it will probably be about the last of next month, at which time all plans for the dedication will be in readines: D. C. Bloomer is chairman of the committee and has the matter in charge.

The Domestrie, Oftice 105 e Short on Coal, The outrageously high price charged for hard coal, $1 a ton, has caused many to abandon its use and burn soft coal instead, While not so pleasant to use, still many eannot afford to pay for the higher priced, and others preferred to \un, up with the inconvenience of smoke and soot, rather than indulge in what secmed to them rather of a luxury, Now comes a threatened shortage of soft coal, Three dealers were applied to yesterday and not one of them had any soft coal. . Al the dealers seem well supplied with hard coal, but on all sides are predicted an increased searcity of soft. There ssems to be no special reason assigned why theve should be such a large supply of hard conl and so little soft counl, One dealer remarks that out of the forty mines in Towa only seventeen ave heing operated, but there is noreason given why the others are not operated. W hatever may be the cause of the scarcity, the effect will naturally be to force con- gumers to buy hard coal instead of soft.

To a person seeking for a home or a place to make permanent investments nothing is more important in recom- mending a city as its morals, 1Its edu- cational advantages are examined; its churches are numbered and afull inven- tory made of all factors important to the constitution of society, and as a city is abundant or lacking in these essentials, g0 will it be accepted or rejected by those who desire a home and business where law and order are maintained und the investment a capital scheme, The moral status of the youth is a safe criterian of judgment as to the future. To ascertain this the Sunday schools fur- nish many important facts, and belie ing that the entire community are terested in this matter the BEE here- with introduces a series of articles upon the Sunday schools of Council Bluffs.

LOVE AND LUCRE They had been pl and child lovers despite the difference in their positions. Bessic Lee was only a gardener’s daughter, while Ashton Winthrop would some day be the owner of the estate where her fathe ned his bread. There was good blood in the though they were poor, and neither of the parents were inclined to put a veto on the children’s friendship. As Bessie grew older she noticed that Ashton was less attentive to her, or she imagined so. He was engrossed with s young friends and his sports. she saw less and less of him. Her heart grew sad over the breach that was widening between them, yet when they met he had always a kind word for that cheered her he Ashton, to finish his ulm))vllml to spend two gent. ymates together Lees, her education. was years at a Ger- and Bessie thought that she had lost him forev Often in her ¢ room she sobbed herself to sleep ing of the lover she had lost, though keenly aware of the difference in their stations.

The next spring brought a long-ex- ed visitor to the Willows—La \\ son, the daughter of Mrs, Win- throp’s only sistel Bessie had often heard the young lady spoken of as very beautiful in person, lovely in charncter, intelligent and_accomplished. Upon an introduetion to her she found her more interesting even than she had ex- pected. Bright, sweet and winning, Laura found her way to every heart. She was a great favorite with Mr, and Mrs. Winthrop; and, alas! poor Bessie felt, a great favorite with Ashton. Of course, rumor soon g e to a report of a union between the heir of the W lows and his fair cousin. Many were the fetes, drives, excursions and boat- ing parties at Winthrop hall in honor of the lair stranger. "hat summer was a most heautiful one.

She found her dressed in a vich white silk, with no ornaments but a locket set in diamonds round her neck. She was folded in & warm embrace by the affec- tionate Bessie. Opening a jewel box, Laura took out an elegagt eross of hair, ichly set with pearls, saying, as she kissed Bessie's blushing cheek, “It is l\xhlnul hair.

Our lovers us there.” Puzzled more than ever by Laura’s words, Bessie accompanied her into an ante-chamber, where Ashton was sitting with another gentleman.

Jackson (Mich.) Patric We have before us a statement that, with respect to the consumption of sugar, British India must be considered the largest consumer in the world, it being used there in very large quantities. Greas ain comes next, with a consumption placed at seventy-one pounds per capita of its total population. In other lead- ing nationalities the ave tion per inhabitant is Jaivatad lows: United States, 50 pounds; F S; Holland, 20; Denmark, 19; Germany, Russia, 14: Belgium, 10. he most striking feature in these fl"u res is the small con “producing country in the world. To encourage production the government pays a bounty on all sugar exported; and to meet ‘this im- hat consumed in Ger $45 a ton. No doubt this has much to do with reducing the consumption, as it is an_invariable rule that the higher the price of commodi- ties the smaller is the consumption—a practical lesson that leglslators to the United States have not \u. loarned. The sum raised by the tax in Ger- s 1 paid back to the pro- ported, which en- ables the people of G are not compelled to p buy sugar cheaper than any other con- sumers in Burope or America, and hence their consumption is the la t b apita, It is estimated that B consumers are benefitted by the German bounties and taxes to the extent of #25,- 000,000 a year on the total quantity con- sumed. In 1801 the consumption of sugar in Greal I aged nineteen pounds for each pe t 13 shillings and 9 pence, while 1884 the sixty-s pounds consumed cost 9 sh pence. The consumption three-fold, but the total cost decre about one-third, In thiscountry the to consumers is nearly doule the pri paid in England, and if the sugar re- finers’ trust is carried into effect, as in- tended, the difference will be still greater.
