Miss Mary Kelley died at her home, 621 Bluff street, Friday, of meningitis. ‘The funeral will take place to-morrow morning at 9 o’clock from the Catholic church, and interment at the Catholic cemetery. The deceased was thirty years of age. In the police court yesterday morning J. Gilmore was sentenced to fifteen days in the county jail for the larceny of a ham from Neunads’ market on South Main street. Ed Ryan. R. R.

T o teuien-wau rorD the society still re- fuse to divulge the menning of the mys- tic letters. The fact has been amply demonstrated that men do have curios- ity, and well developed. There scems to have arisen some mis- apprehension in regard to the banqguet being arranged h{ the bar association in connection with the dedicatory exer- cises of the court house. The banquet i8 not a public one, but for the associa- tion and their invited guests. The case of Stringham, for assaulting H. A. Baird with a billiard cue, has ! been continued until Monday, March 12, as the prosecuting witness 1s still con- fined to his home. Mr. Baird is recov- ering very slowly, and it will be some time before he gets over the effects of his injuries. A young men’s colored club was or- ganized in the city last evening with twenty-five members. Charles Curtis was elected chairman and Charles Jones secretary. A ticket was culled from the three already in the field, and the members swore upon a keen-edged “‘ruzzer” to do their best to elect it. The regumicnns charge the demo- crats with a disgraceful attempt to break up the ‘‘citizens’ convention” Friday night. The democrats came out equally stoutly that the rePublicuns tried to break up the ‘“‘citizens’ conven- tion.” It seems that both are wrong. It was ‘‘the citizens” who broke up the meeting. The dirty attack made through the columns of the Evening Herald against the members of the Council Bluffs club is simply an instance of how some men are s0 carried away by party zeal, or the hope for gnnly plunder, as to forget de- cency and self respect. The club will continue at the old stand. 1. N. Flickinger declares that he is in no sense an aspirant for office, and his name was used at Friday evening’s convention without any consent or knowledge on his part. He declines any and all nominations, and is clear out of the ruce. In fact, he says he never entered it, and objects to having bis name presented as a candidate. A number of prisoners were sen- tenced. Adams, who was so absent- minded as to drive off a pair of horses belonging to Chris Durr, was sentenced to four years in the penitentiary. Harry ‘Winn, for obtaining goods by a bogus check, was given three years. Sullivan, for larceny, got eighteen months. Frances, the old man, for larceny, was iven two years. He will have passed <his three score yearsand ten by the Aime he breathes free air again. " The two ward candidates for alder- men on the democratic ticket are said o be runnlnfi largely in the interests of Walters as chief of the fire department, ‘Walters claims that he is not an as- tirlnt for the position, but on the other and it is claimed that his only show to t there is in keeping shady. It is be- loved that if his aldermanic candidates were known openly to be in favor of his Jbeing chief, they would be defeated. The present chief, Templeton, is giving general satisfaction and many want to see him retained, but if a change is de- sirable it seems that there hre far better men to be selected from the present de- rtment than either Walters or icholson, who is ulso an aspirant. It seems still worse to have aldermen running on such a narrow guage road @8 the choice of a particutar man for chief of the fire department. e 8t. Cecilia Concert. The St. Cecilia ladies’ quartette of this city, composed of Mrs. Wadsworth, Miss Merkel, Mrs. Ward and Mrs. Evans, will give their first concert at the Congregational vhurch on next Thursduy evening, March 8.

Yesterday afternoon a fine-looking young man stepped into the First Na- tional bank and presented a check for 850, signed by W. R. Bennett & Co., of Omaha, in favor of E. Franklin. Thoe- dore Laskowski, the assistant cashier, informed him that as he was a stranger he woud have to be identified or get the check endorsed by some one.. He went out and came in soon after with the check indorsed by J. B. Atkins,the well-known druggist. The young man remarked that-he had been working in the store, The assistant cashiershowed it to Mr. Farnsworth, who thought it was the signature of Mr. Atkins, but to make certain it was taken over to Of- cer & Pusey’s, where Mr. Atkins does business. They thought it was a genu- ine signature, but there being a little doubt a telephone inquiry was made of Mr. Atkins, He chanced to be out, and while the fact was being learned the young man stepped out of the bank, say- ing he would be back in a few minutes, He did not return, and when Mr. At- kins was found he pronounced the in- dorsement of his name o forgery.

Previous to the assembling of the re- publicans in convention yesterday after- noon, a meeting of the ward delegates was held in the parlors of the Bechtele hotel. The purpose of this meeting was to outline some definite policy for BTHON ANA UACIAE, o L 46 Wee peassaias who, among the candidates proposed for the various offices, combined the most elements of strength. As to policy, the matter of putting up a com- bination ticket'was discussed at length, This plan was decided against by a small majority when it was put to vote. 1t was determined to muke the ticket republican throughout and depend for success upon the comparative merits of the nominees. What was done as to the selecting of candidates appears in the resuls of the convention. At 2:15 o'clock that body assc#ibled in the city building. It was called to order by W. F. Sapp, jr. Ed Mott was made chairman and E. A, Spooner sec- retary. The following committee on cteden- tials was selected, one from each ward and in the order named: W. H. Lynch- ard. C. S.

Hart was .named and he was also nominated by accla- mation. The same order prevailed with reference to auditor and L. Kinne- han was declared the nominee. C. M. Harl for city solicitor was nominated in the same manner. For the oftice of civil engineer Thomas Tostevin and C. R. Allen were presented. The informal ballot gave Tostevin 28 votes and Allen 4. This vote was made formal and unanimous for Tostevin. For marshal L: B. Cousins was nominated by accla- mation. For ‘alderman at large, long term, Peter Thall, and short term, L. A. Casper, were nominated by accla- mation. For nssessor Frank Peter- gon, for superintendent of markets L. Merkel, and for park commissioner Thomas Officer were nominated by ac- clamation.

Hubbard and James Patterson nomi- nated. J. Chambers was made chairman of the city central committee. The convention was large and enthu- siastic, yet in all the deliberations there was the utmost harmony.

The **Q" strike is still ‘‘on” in all its force, but the company is managing to get their trains cut nearly on.time. Yesterday the passenger service in and out of this city was as before the strike went into effect. The officials claimed that the freight trains on the Kansas City were running, and expect to get the main line *‘Q” freights running to-day. The “flyers” were put on yes- terday, and the officials lay great stress on the rapidity with which they are get- ting new men. A Ber r;e)ortar asked one of the prominent officers of the company what would be done with the new men in case the difficulty should be adjusted. “Why,"” said he, ‘‘we shall stand by the new men, of course. Perhaps they wouldn't be kept in their present places, for the company wants the most reliable men iu the responsible positions, but the new men won't be discharged.” He claimed that the new men were competent, but the reporter inferred from his remarks that he would'like to ive tha strikers the cream 1 they would return.

Graham, the efficient park commissioner, slipped over to Des Moines the other day to see about the bill there pending to cure all'seeming defects in the condemnation proceedings by which the city secured the title to Fairmount park. The park com- missioners do not admit that there are any serious defecte, but it has become apparent that even the technical ones, or the seeming ones, whether real or fancied, are f‘endlng to litigation, and they desire to get an act which shall m‘uvent any further such annoyance. r. Graham very quietly slipped over to Des Moines to see about the passage of this enabling act, and supposed that his mission was unknown to the others here, who are trying to wrest the title {rom the city. e was congratulating himself on his strategy, when suddenly Attorney Haldune appeared on' the scene. Haldane is generally wide awake, and this time, s usual, he was not found to be napping. The matter was broughs to the attention of the com- mittees, and a partial hearing given these fientlemen. Now that the attor- ney who is ighting to get the park: has put in an appearance and had his say, the attorneva representing the city are to be given a like opportunity. The contest will' probably be carried on in the committee room there as well as in the courts here, but the city officials are confident that it must resultin both cases in the city holding the park, and a bar being placed to any further an- noying suits of this kind. pARGE abT Dr. R.

The voters are to be asked at this election to empower the levying of an additional tax of one mill for park pur- poses. The proposftion meets with much favor, despite the many complaints al- ways common at this time of year that taxes are high enough now. The park commissioners have never had a very large fund on which to draw for im- nrovements and now that or S mar < vy == L S=et 2T T ties have begun sults to try and wrest Fairmount park from the city, it seems that the park fund is liable to be drawn upon to successfully resist this attempt. It will probably cost not & few dollars to revent the park falling into the ands of private speculators and to 80 clear up the title that no more such attempts will hereafter be made. There is great confidence felt in the outcome, but with this special and necdful drain on this fund, the park commissioners will be hampered in making needful improvements to the parks, unless the additional mill is voted. Bayliss park ought to have new walks; there @yght to water in Fairmount park; there are numerous other accom- modations and conveniences demanded by the public. While the heavy prop- erty owners have to pay the largest part of this tax, they are not the ones who need the parks so much as those who cannot afford to have lawns and foun- tains of their own. The rich can take their summer trips, and enjoy them- selves in fashionable summer resorts, but the parks are for the people at large, and as such should be fostered and encouraged by the people.

To the Voters of Council Bluffs: Hav- ing announced myself a candidate for re-election to the office of city auditor, 1 perhaps owe the people a statement of reasons for such action, taken inde- pendently of party nomination. To be brief, I was always disposed to hold the democratic principle sacred, that the people were above parte, and as [ was elected two years ago by an overwhelm- ing majority of the votes of both demo- crats and republicans of Council Bluffs, and have exercised the functions and performed the duties of city auditor with strict regard for the principles of justice. I do not believe that the action of the democratic city convention indi- cated the will of the people uf Council Bluffs, and desire to appeal directly to the people, both for vindication against unwarranted assaults, and re- ufiwflon to a trust it cannot be said truly that I in any way neglected or abused. In fact, I have not heard that any one has so charged. Under these existing fucts I will be a candidate for the office of city auditor, of which position I am the present incumbent, subject to the will'of the voters of this city. L.

An examination showed that ' the cut, although deep, was not dangerous. The blade nfter entering had gone upward and forward, just beneath the skin. The bleeding was soon stopped and the wound dressed, after which Vance was apparently rendy for another fracas. After doing the cutting, Free started down an_alley, and headed for the river. The news of the affair was quickly communicated to the police, and the entire force, both day and night men, yere soon in pursuitof the colored carver, Captain Nick O’Brien chartered a dray, and Policeman Unthank bundled himself into the nearest buggy, and the other members of the force who could not get other means of conveyance started out on foot.

The city council met last evening in special session. The mayor and a full board of aldermen were prosent. Bills for the month and for the sala- ries of the various city officials for the fourth quarter were read and allowed. Grading estimates of C. R. Mitchell and P. Sweeney were read and ordered published as resolutien No. 75. Inter- section grading done by J. W. Riley, C. R. Mitchell and P. Sweeney on con- tract was ordered paid according to terms of the contract. The matter of trnnslcrrinf the bal- ance in hand of treasurer belonging to the old levee fund to another fund was referred to the finance committee. An ordinance prohibiting the use of Broadway west of Sixteenth street for any other than the usual method of travel, and prohibiting the gnmcinfz of this portion of.the street to any railwa; for occupation by them, was read. The {Fginek. muls was cuspended: the ordinance was rend a second time and referred. Also & res- olution granting to the Omaha and Council Bluffs bridge company the right to occupy that rtion of Broad- wry for ten years followed the same course. The grading bond of P. Sweeney in thé sum of 8500 with appioved sureties was accepted.

A police alarm was sent in from the transfer yesterday morning, and when the patrol wagon arrived there a young man giviag his name of E. M. Gaddi, of Shenandoah, was turned over to the officers, charged with being insane. ‘While waiting for his train he became possessed of the idea that he must de- molish the waiting room with an axe, and had to be placed under restraint. He was taken tothestationand locked up. He was a well dressed, finely edu- cated young man of twenty-four yegrs of age, and fully realized his condition, which he said had been brought about by excessive cigarette smoking. He claimed to be a druggist, and asked to be sent to Shenandoah. He was taken to the county jail and his case will be disposed of by the board of insane com- missioners. Young Gaddi is 1n the drug business at Mountain City, Idaho. He was on his way to Shenandoah to visit bis mother and sisters. He had 8116 in his pocket. — If you have a lot, house, farm or any kind of %roperty to trade or sell, call on W. W. Bilger. ———— Personal Paragraphs.

After hie hat had travelled o considerable distance up the avenue it was flnlll{ a%tnrud by asmall boy and presented to the senator, who in kind- ness gave him aquarter for his services. After brushing the dust from his hat he placed it on his head and continued to walk in the same direction the wind had taken his hat, up the avenue, toward the treasury department, . Mr. Lamar, not thinking which way. he was going, continued to walk ;“i':d}y until he :-lmched ;:he treas- ury building, passed up the steps, jumped into the elevator I’lmd told the man to put him out on the second floor, which hedid. Mr.Lamar turned around the broad hall, opened the door of & room, when, much to his astonishment, whom should he find but the secretary of the trensury. Instead of being in the senate committee room he was in the secretary’s oftice. *‘I'hiave made a mistake,” exclaimed Mr. Lamar. “I thougkt I was in the enwl.” en returning toward the door he retraced his sm‘n, intending to take a car to the capitol. Through some mis- take he took the wrong car, and when ho looked about he found himself in Georgetown, three miles from the capi- tol. He asked the conductor how long it would be before he could get a car for the capitol. “Five minutes,” was the answer. On the return trip, while the car was passing the war department an old naval friend of Mr. Lamar’s got aboard. They entered into conversation, and be- fore Mr. Lamar knew it he had passed the capitol and the car had come to a standstill at the navy yard. Heremarked to his friend that he had been trying to net to the capitol to attend a committee meeting all morning, It was then 1:30 p.m. Lamar saw a stray hackman sing slowly and hailed him. He asked the driver if he could take him to the capi- tol, and how long it would be to take im. “‘Fifteen minutes.”, Mr. Lamar got into the hack and was driven off. In twenty minutes he had joined his friends in the committee hore in the world have you # ‘‘Well, gentlemen,” said the amiable Mississippian, ‘‘Ihave been ever since ten o’clock trying to get here b way of the treasury, Georgetown and the navy yard, and at last I hired a hackman to deliver me at the senate.

Troy T'imes; *Itisa good thing to keep an account of your small ex- penses,” ex-Minister John Bigelow once said to an acquaintance, as_he entered an item in his note book. His listener smiled at the remark, fbut took it to heart. In recently telling the story of his experience he said that, up to that time, he had never thought of the amount it cost him annually for cigars and drinks and treats and other sun- dries. He began to itemize the cost daily. He was amazed at the end of the year when he footed up the sum at $750. A change was wrought in him. He de- termined that for the mnext year he would keep such expenses down to one- third of the sum in question. ‘‘And now,” he said, *‘within ten years I have profited by Mr: Bigelow’s advice to the amount of $5,000, which I have handed over to my wife to keep for hard timeg. And I have not become mean, either.” This little story embodies an excellent lesson and m good sense. SPECIAL NOTICES. NOTICE.
