The recent find of conl near this city has not been lost sight of, but the weather has been such that but little more could be done. As soon as practi- cable steps will be taken to follow up the find, and determine just how much there is to it. That there is coal is settled. The question remains whether it is in sufficient quantities to pay to work. It is believed by many that it is abundant, and of good quality There is something rather strange about the city’s gas bills for the month of Janury, in the fact that they are con- siderably larger than fer the month of December, The gas bill for the patrol house for December was about $16 and for January it was about $27. The days are getting longer, but the amount of the gas bill is in sed. It is the same for the various flre houses and the city jail, The same number of burners are used, and the extra amount is hard to be accounted for. *Squire Biggs says he is through 1s- suing warrants for the arrest of persons unless there is some urgent and piain reasons for so doing, or unless the county attorney orders the issuance, It has got to be a common practice for an appeal to be made to the strong arm of the criminal law every time n petty spite or a sudden anger dictates, or to collect bills when the civil proc would not serve that purpose. Ther have been several instances in which ersons have been arrested for obtain- ng goods under false pretenses, in which all that was desired was to get the bill paid. The person arrested would settle up with the complainant, and then the case would be dropped, leaving the county to pay the costs. In some few cases the complainant has settled the costs, but thi - tion. The present justices are inclined to follow the same policy as outlined by ’Squire Biggs. and the county board is protecting the tnxlpnycrfl by refusing to allow any such bills On the market for over twenty years.

The rooms of the Council Bluffs club ate lighted by a sort of gasoline mix- ture, which is stored in a tank on the top of the building. The underwriters are just looking into the matter, and say that unless there is a change made the insurance companies will put rates on property in that vicinity a good deal higher tha1 the tank is. Chief Temple- ton is also inking a hand in the matter, for if a fire should occur there it would be difficult for the firemen to accom- Klish anything where the blaze would e fed by rly one hundred gallons of this gasoline mixture. The matter is attracting much attention, and the club is in favor of making a change. Looked at from mevely a financial point of view. the increase in insurance rates would be too heavy to make a continu- ance of the method practicable, The manufacturers of this new sy tem of gas lighting declare that there is not any danger, and that the alarm is needless, The matter is to be in- 1 degree of safety » determined. vt of my office, No. 606 Opposite new postoffie . B Judd i Testing a Home Made Engine. Unlike some of our business men the Council Bluffs water works in place of sending away for a new steam engine, placed their order with the Ogden Iron works. of this city, and have reaped a just reward as shown by the tests made within the past few days. So well stis- fied is the management of the water company that they claim to have the most economical engine in this part of the country. The engine is covered by the patents of Mr. Ferris Ogden. and is not ouly beautiful to look at, but operates with aceuracy. During the test the load was taken off the engine by the pumping of all the water out of the lake, and notwithstanding the revolutions of the engine were counted, no difference was apparent ¢ This goes to show how beautifully Mr, Ogden’s governor woi The test demonstrated that with prop- erly constructed machinery Counc Bluffs hasa just position as one of tl most advantageous points in the cou try for manufacturing purposes.

Mead, stopping at the Durgan house, on South Sixth street, appropriated an overcoat belonging to another boarder anddeparted. As soon as the loss was discovered the police were notified, and Chief Mullen began a search for him. Bailiff Wall McFad- den, of the district court, was furnished with a description of the man,and found him about half past 8 in front of Gold- berg’s pawn shop, on ‘upper Broadway, with the coat in his possession, waiting for the place to_open. He was taken into custody and a charge of larceny from a building entered against him. Asthe witnesses could not be secured yesterday the hearing was postponed, and the case was to be tried before Judge Aylesworth to-day, but the pris- oner waived examination and the case goes to the grand jury. The defendant has been hanging around the transfer for several days, and was ordered away from there Thursday by the depot po- lice. His face bears the marksof an un- successful pugilistic encounter, and he is altogether a tough-looking specime There seems to be no question as to hi guilt in stealing the coat, and his chances are very good for a term in the pen. Don’t fail. ———— Visit the museum to-day. e The Delays of the Law, There was no business of importance transacted in the superior court yester- day. The docket was called and new assignments made for to-day. None of the cases in yesterday's assignment were ready for trial. A few motions were ar- gued, and the case of Wells Cook vs A. Cochran, to collect commission fees for the sale of real estate, was continued until Monday, as the attorneys were busy at the district court. The defend- ant is at present in California, and it is probable that his attorneys will ask for a chango of venue and take the cuse to the districe court. The case of F. H. Guanella vs Potta- wattamie county, for officer’s fees, is set for to-day, but ing to the fact that Colonel Dailey, county attorney, is busy with cases now in the district court, it will not come to trial before next week. The present tevm of court will adjourn about the middle of next week unless Judge Aylesworth concludes to extend the term to wait for some of the equity cases that it is desived to bring to trial before adjournment. r———— Wonders at the museum. 10 cents. Gone to Her Rest. Yesterday morning Mr. L. C. Empkie received a telegram from Des Moines giving the painful intelligence of the death of Mary J. Van Pelt, mother of Mprs. Empkie. The sad event occurred yesterday morning at 0 o'clock. Other than this no details were given, and at this writing little is known con- cerning the fatal illness. For some months she had been making her home with her sister, Mrs. Cox, at Des Moines, and although her health was delicato there was evidently no cause for immediate alarm. The deceased was the wife of Isaac Van Pelt, who passed away from this life eight years ago. Her age was sixty- eight years, For many years she and her ‘husband were residents ‘of this county, and their memory is held. in, THE NEWS IN THE BLUFFS. ] s univérsal regard. They. were acfive workers in the cause of the Master, and members of the Presbyterian church. They are now reunited in the home be- yond “‘and their works do follow them.” Four children remain to_mourn a her's death, These are Mrs. L. C. Empkie and Mrs. Isaac A. Miller, of this city: Mrs. R. L. Wood, of Kansas City, Mo, and Mrs. C. C. Staples, of Topeka, Kan. The lagt named have been notified of the death and will ar- rive to attend. the funeral. Mr. Empkie left for Des Moines yes- terday afternoon and will probably re- turn to-day with the remains. The remains will be laid beside those of the husband, in Fairview cemetery. The arrangements for the obsequies will be announced as soon as they are com- pleted. — The best people visit the museum. M2 The Mayor Doesn't See the Joke. Mayor Rohrer has a generous hand and a warm heart, and so when he was approached by a lady the other day and asked to contribute to the Home of the Friendless he willingly gave an order on a g 'y house for ‘‘one sack of flour.” Yesterday he stepped in to pay for the flous To his sur e he found that he was ed with 500 pounds. He began investigating and learned that his order for one sack of flour had been taken tooliberally and too literally. A special sack had been made by the solicitor of the home, a sack large enough 1o hoid 500 pounds, and this had been taken to the store. ordered filled and charged to Mayor Rohrer. He had in his mind a sack of 100 pounds, and for this he paid, but the home had in its larder a sack of 500 pounbs. Before settling the balauce the mayor pur- poses to look into the matter, and see why he snould thus have his generosity joked with, He doesn’t look on it as a bit funny.

The forenoon was spent in arguing points of law and selecting a jury, and the case was but fairly under way at night. The case will probably not be concluded this week. as to-day is the regular motion day and the motion docket is unusually full. All of the jurors not sitting on this case were dis- missed until 10 o’clock Monday morning and Bailiff McFadden also summarily dismissed the members of the bar. They obediently took their hats and started to leave the court room before he dis- covered his mistake. The Coffman manslaughter case is set for Tuesday, and will probably take up two or three days.

Sometime before death he made a will leaving his valuable farm to two of his sons, P. C. and B. F.T. Burford, on condition that they care for their mother during her lifetime. The other children, two girls and a boy, were not provided for. To-day the two favorite children of the deceased were in the city and visited the office of the probate judge to file the will for probate, Judge Bailey called their attention to the mutilated condi- tion of the document, It contained no signatures whatever, and the lower por- tion of the sheet of foolscap upon which it had been written was missing. The Burford boys said that yesterday they discovered that mice had taken posses- sion of the desk containing the will and other valuable papers, and had de- voured the missing portion of the docu- ment in which they were interested. The judge told them that the will was Wfll‘lilll!!xl, and through the work of the mice the disinherited children will come in for their share of the property. —_————— The most remarkable cures of serofula on record have been accomplished by Hood's Sarsaparilla.

New York, Feb. 10.—[Special Telogram tothe BEr.)<-All is not harmony between Henry George and the united labor party. Mr. George has practically retired from its ranks. Ever sinco George came out and stated that he did not think the united labor party should nominate a presidential candi- date, there has beeh grumblings all along the line. Dr. McGlynn, last evening, at a meet- ing of the anti-poverty society, in Pythagoras hall, thought that the party should not allow itself to be sidetracked by tariff tinkering, and should not allow itself to be made the tail of the democratic kite. “I no longer want Henry George for my candidate, and his candidacy would now be more hurtful than a help to us.” After adjournment Dr. McGlynn said a few words to a knot col- lected around him: “Henry George could no longer be the candidate of the party he rep- resented. There were other candidates, such as Smith, of Milwaukee, and Judgg Ma- guire, of San Francisco,” [ awyer Crowley and His Wives.

Victor Duquesne, the famous pistol shot of New Orleans, while traveling in Kentucky, suys the Post-Dispateh, stopped for a night at atavern in Frank: fort. in his day, pistols, like Ken- tuckians going to take a drink, went in pairs. 1o gentleman carried his twin derringers. After supper Du- quesne went to the office counter, be- hind which the proprietor lounged, and putting down a half-dollar, requested \im to change it. The proprietorswept the coin into his money drawer in a me- chanical way, and taking outtwo *‘bits,” or twelve and a half-cent pieces, shoved them towards Duquesne. The latter, seeing that the proprietor made no move towards giving him any more money, said: *Igave youhalf a dollar; here are only two ‘bits.’” “You gi’ mea quarter, sir,” responded the host. *‘Beg your pardon; you are mistaken. Look inyour drawer and _you will see.” Do you mean to say I don’t know a half dollar when I see it? I say, sir, you gi’ me a quarterand you've got your change for it.” Duguesne looked steadily at the tav- ern-kteper for a moment. The guests ;mnh)d around the fireplace became si- ent. “You are a liar!” said Duquesne in a low, even tone. Those terrible words meant something in Kentucky, and the speaker knew it. He felt nervously for his pistols. They were missing. He had left them in his room. The tavernkeep- er’s movements were as quick as if he had been charged by an electric bat- tery. He jerked open his money drawer, took from'it a pistol, cocked it and cov- ered Duquesne, who stood motionless. **Would you shoot an unarmed man?" inquired the latter, calmly. '}‘hut a&;penl is never without its effect in the old commonwealth. “An unarmed man has norighttogive an insult.” “Will some gentleman lend me his pistol?” said Duquesene, without re- moving his eyes from his antagonist, whose two brothers had now ranged themselves by his side. “Fair, play, the world over,” spoke up a burly drover, putting a pistol in Du- uesne's hand, while two more were :L‘uppcd into his overcoat pocket. The crowd parted. The men fired simultane- ously. The landlord’s right arm drop- ped to his side, broken, and his weapon }cll to the floor. Duquesne stood un- harmed and (fnictly exchanged his smoking pistol for one of the loaded ones in his pocket. One of the land- lord’s brothers, without a word, leyeled a pistol at Duquesne, but before he could pull the trigger Dugquesne fired and his new antagonist’s right arm dropped to his side, broken, “Any more?” inquired Duquesne, preparing another firearm. ‘*Yes, damn you!” exclaimed the third brother, firing one shot wildly and endenvur{ngw shoot again, Du- quesne fired quickly again, and that brother’s arm fell, broken, just as the others had fallen, “Who the devil are you?” cried the landlord, clasping his disabled arm. ¥ am Vietor Duquesne of New Or- le?‘lil‘.,: 2 A D ur pardon, Mr. Duquesne I'm satisfod it was & balt-dollar you g oy e FEBRUARY 11, 1888 me.

Wasmixaros, Feb, The bill granting +a right of way through the Indian Territory to the Choctaw coal and railroad company was passed. ¥ Mr. Anderson of Tilinois, from the post-of- fice committee, reported favorably the Per- kins resolution directing the posmaster-gen- eral to inquire in to and inform the house of the cause and foundation for grievances com- plained of in a Kansas newspaper regarding western mail service and also to inform the house whether the almost universal com- plaint prevailing in the west against the pres- ent unsatisfactory mail service results from insufficient appropriations. The com- mittee reported an amendment, add- ing to the resolution the following: ‘‘Andulso that the postmaster general be directed to further inquire and in- form the house, what, if any, improvements and extensions have been made in the mail of the west during the past two years.” The resolution was finally adopted after the insertion of an amendment offered by Mr. Holman putting the word ‘“alleged” before the word *‘complamt.” Upon reaching, in the committee of the whole, the bill for the relief of Nathanicl McKay, of the executors of Donald McKay, @ spirited debate between Mr, Springer and Mr. Cox of New York, ensued, the former antagonizing the measure. The committee finally decided to report_the bill favorably to the house and rose, When the McKay bill the regular proceedings Mr, Springer again opposed it and 1t finally went over until next Friday.
