Particulars in regard to parentage will be furnished at the hospital. Tne Dodge Light guards have wisely chosen A, W. Cowles as their new captain. He has been actively connected with the compuny from its organization, and has worked for its success in all ways. He has served acceptably as orderly sergeant, and the promotion is worthily bestoved. A fellow, apparently crazy, and filvlng his name as Charles Shugart, was picked up at Neola and brought to this city yesterday. He was placed in the county jail for safe keeping and care. The commissioners are of the impression that his insanity is the result of strong drink and too much of it, and will cause the young man to be held fora few days until it becomes clear as to whether he ought to be taken to the asylum, or simply sobered up. “Honor to whom honor is due.” The cap- ture of the burglar Hughes should have been credited to Captain _Anderson, of the Mer- chant's police and Officer Dyer. of the regu- lar force. Anderson discovered the crook trying to break into Palmer's fruit store, failing in which the fellow went down Main to Park’s grocery where he made another unsuccessful attempt to enter. During this time Anderson met, Dyer, who was on this beat and together they nailed the fellow. Some arrangement should be mado by the county board by which the new court house should be connected telephonically with the rest of the city, The cost would be trifing in comparison to the convenience afforded to the public, and to the county officials. The need of a telephone, or of several of them, is made apparent cvery day Yesterday, for instance, judge and ju attorneys’ and others, were kept idly waiting for nearly an bour, for a witness who might have been secured in ten minutes had there been a tele- phone in the court house. To-morrow evening a rich intellectual treat 18 promised all who attend the lecture to be givun to-morrow evening in the Temple hall y Hon, R. G. Horr, of Michigan, Con- sgressman Horr needs no introduction in this city, for he is not only known by his public career, but he has before delighted audiences here with his grand thought and keen wit. His subject to-morrow evening will be “The Labor (?UL‘BNGII." Everyone should hear him. The lecture is given under the auspices and for the bencfit of the Y. M. C. A., which is another urgent reason for giving it a hearty support. The house should be crowded, and the association given a rousing benetit, for those thus aiding will gain much for themselves in the enjoyment of this gifted orator. in the LA, S et 0 Grand Opening Dinner Of the St. Joe house to-day from 11 o’clock a. m. to 5 o’clock p. m.

ONE OF THEM IS CAPTURED, What the City Fathers Did at Their Special Meeting—Board of Trade Doings—The Motor Moving. The Old Bait For Suckers. The latest victim at the transfer to the wiles of the confidence man with a big oheck is known to the citizens of the little town of Hawkeye, Fayetto county, Ta., as Herman Wier, and arrived at the transfer yesterday morning shortly after 11 o'clock, on the Union Pacific train from the west, being en route home from Colorado Springs. Shortly after his arrival he was spotted as a promis- ing subject_to “bleed” by two confidence operators. His earthly possessions were lim- ited to the amount of #6, but he freely gave it all, and no one would have been the wiser had not John Quinn, nizht policeman at the transfer, seen the operationfrom his window, and saying to his wife, “I'll bot those fellows are ‘doing’ that ‘gray,’ ” he picked up his revolver and hurried toward them. The sharpers fled as he approached. Ho asked the granger what he had been doing, and the reply was, “Lending that man some money.” This was all the policeman waited to hear, and he took after the better dressed of the fugitives, who was running like a_deer for the brush on the bottoms. The fellow re fused to obey ncommand to halt, and the ofiicer opened fire. This had the desired effect, and the crook was speedily taken into custody. The other sharper, who had per- sonated the express agent, ran up Bighth avenve until he reached Thirteenth street, where he found Dr. Bellinger’s buggy, which he unceremoniously appropriated, and lashed the horses into a run. He abandoned the team on Ninth street, near the dummy depot, and all trace of him was lost. “T'he captured crook gave his name as John Grant, but when taken to the station he was quickly recognized by the police as Jack Kane, an all-around crook and desperate criminal, who was sent up for & two years’ term about 81X years ago on a similar churge 1o the one now entered against him. He is in every scnse a bad man, and is the one who, with three others, attenipted to waylay ex- Policeman Stevens one night in Omaha, to ‘et even’? with Stevens for arresting him. The evidence against him is of the strongest character, and he is assured of a lengthy term at Fort Madison. He and_the burglar, Hughes, were taken to the county jail and locked up for safe keeping. Kano's prelim- inary examination will take place to-day. Wier, the victim, scarcely realized, even after the arrest, that his “‘borrowing friend’ was & crook, but will probably be able to col- lect his ideas by the time of the trial. The sharper who escaped is described as a very short, slim man, with o sandy mus tache, and wore a cap at the time. However the worse criminal is captured, and Police- man Quinn is_entitled to much credit for his keenness indetecting a confidence man, and his prompt action in running him down. Special Council Meeting. A special meeting of the city council was held yesterday afternoon, at 2:30, for the purpose of opening the bids put in on the curbing and paving to be done on Broadway and Broadway extension streets.

LA . A Double Court, There was u double-barrelled district court yesterday. Judge Thornell was holding one court in the south court room und Judge Car- son another in the opposite room. In Judge Thornell's voom the chief case of interest was one which brought into the forum in hot con- test Fremont Benjamin and C. H. Converse. The case was one involviug asmall farm, which the owner, Wright, had deeded to Con- verse, It was claimed that Converse was Wright's attorney and that the mortgage on the land being about to be foreclosed, Con- verse advised him to deed the land to him to avoid the foreclosure. Converse wus to pay off the mortgage and give Wright a chance to redeem. An injunction was issued restrain ing Converse from interfering with the land. The case came up yesterday on a motion to dissolve this injunction. Couverse claimed that he had not acted s attorney for Wright,tout that he bought the land outright, agrecing to clear off the liabilities, Wright wanted to know if he would sell the land back to him, and he agreed to do so at any time during the year for wLat money it cost him, with 8 per cent interest. The attempt is now being made to have the transfer of the land set aside, and in failure to secure this to have the transaction looked upon in the light of a mortgage, which has & y then another year for redemption, were several hot bouts in the presentation o :}u.' afidavits and the arguments of the mo- ion, The motion for a new trial in the case of Harry Witmer, found guilty of horse steal- ing, was also an item in Judge Thronell's court B. Williams, of Glonwood, was present in Witmer's intercsts. Judge Carson was busy all day in the hear- ing of the cause of Juln Short vs the Chic: Milwaukee & St. Paul railway company. 1 case was given to the jury about 4 o'clock in the afterhoon - Matters at Malvern. Marvewy, Ia, March 20.—Last Saturday this place was visited by & United States deputy marshal. The purpose of this official [ supply. the past winter three citizens of this place ‘were indicted by the grand jury for keeping and maintaining & nuisance and selling liquors contrary to the laws of the state. They were arrested and taken to the county jail for safe keeping until their cases should be tried. During the last term of court their cases came up for hearing, but the state's witnesses were not to be found, and the de- fendants were turned loose. But their troub- les were not over. They had neglected to comply with the law in procuring United States special tax stamps as retail venders of spirituous liquors, and this was the reason of the visit by the deputy marshal. As soon as he struck the town he made known the pur- poso of his visit, and when he tried to find the subjects fhe came to arrest they were one, and their whereabouts have not yet 'n revealed. According to indications the present year ill be one of activity here and material ad- ditions will be made to the town. The change you have made in getting the Ber here on the 8 o'clock a. m. train is evidence of commendable enterprise and has added many new readers to the list of the best daily published west of the Mississippi. The great strike hurts us somewhat in this little city in the matter of freight and pas. senger traflic, but we have the ‘‘Wabash with us yet and we are not ent shut out from the world at large. But we are tired of this state of things and the ought surely to come to some kind of terms with their men. Everyone here is in sym- athy with the engineers and firemen, and lieving their cause, just we earnestly hope they may succeed. i Board of Trade. Last evening the board of trade met in their rooms in regular session, President Wells in the chair. . Mr. F. J. Day, of the committee on manu- factures, reported that the stock on the knitting factory has all been taken; that Mr. Mullens has sent for his machines and that a company will be orgamized next Friday evening. On motion the report was adopted and the use of the board of ' trade rooms was tendercd the stockholders to form a stock company. Mr. Merriam, of the hotel cemmittee, re- ported that progress is being made and more than half of the bonus already pledged, On motion an invitation was extended to Mr. Reed to meet the board this afternoon at 4 e'clock, relative to the Manawa motor line. The request that these rooms be opened to the use of the Pottawattamie County Mining and Prospecting company was_granted, and Thursday evening was named. A__communication from the Demorest Fashion and Sewing Machine company, rela- tive to locating a factory here, was read_and referred. Also one from the sccretary of the Omaha board of trade states that & commit- tee has been appointed to act with the Coun- il Bluffs board of trade committee. Also one from the commitiee, N. Merriam, cf man, stating that they will await the pleasure of this board. The same com- mittee which was appointed to go to Omaha was designated to confer with the Omaha committee relative to the matter and sclect a_day for their proposed visit. On motion the secretary was instructed to ask Mr. J. E. Harkness to accompany and act with this committec. A communication from Rev. T. J. Mackey states that for $1,000 subscription he will erect, two churches m neglected portions of the city. Referred to the committee on pub- lic improvements. Also one from Hon, R. S. t states that the proposed *coal” addition to the maximum freight bill is received; that it will have to bo incorporated in_the senate bill, as the original bill has already passed the’ assembly, Communication received and a vote of thanks tendercd to Mr. Hart. On motion Mr. F. Wies was added to the lower Broadway hotel committee. S ‘Who Shall Be Chief. The contest for the position of chief of the fire department is growing in interest and s great deal of work is being done “on the quiet” as well as openly. Petitions are being circulated 1n the interest of the com- peting candidates to which the majority of the citizens of the city have already sub- scribed their names. There is a strong feel- ing_among the business men that Templeton should be retained. He has been an able official_and mot a thing is charged against him. His care, watchfulness and sobriety commend him.’ Surely the city does not want to change fora man who has made a record in the past of which even he himself is not ashamed. This is the public sentiment, and further, if it shall be determined that a change is at’ all desirable a man should be selected who is conversant with the depart- ment and its methods of working. There are such men already in_the service, and thero appears to be no good reason for going out- side of the department for a chief, 1t is understood that the city council is divided upon the question, standing three for and three against a change. It is also said that at least two members_are committed to a candidate who has been but is no more a fireman, e The Motor Line Moving. Work is being pushed at the motor line. The crossing at the Wabash track was put in yesterday ofternoon, and the rails that were taken up between Seventh and Tenth avenues on Ninth street to allow that thor- oughfare to be raised to grade have been re- placed. Notice has been served on fhe Chi- cago, Burlington & Quiney railroad company to the effect that their tracks on Ninth street will be conbemned for crossing on next Sat- urday. Matters have been amicably adjusted with'the Chigago, Milwaukee & St. Paul, and an appeal will be made in the case of hicago, Rock Island & Pacific. The in- iou obtained by the Rock Island road is 8till in force and prevents the motor line from crossing. If it was not for obstacles thrown out by the railroad companics, the manager of the motor line says that the line would be in operation in less than & month, New motors of the latest style are being built and will be here in about three weeks. —— A Mysterious Hole. Yesterday onc of the paving blocks between the street car rails at the corner of Broad- way and Bryant street dropped out, and an examination revealed a hole large enough to swallow & horse and buggy. When the “bot- tom dropped out” nobody kuows. This spot has caused considerable trouble, on aceount of a spring near there that rendered the building of the sewer exceedingly difficult. The paving has caved in there several times, leaving large openings, but no one can tell where the dirt goes to. 1t required. ten loads of durt to fill up the hole caused by yester- day’s “sink.” The opening made by the fall- ing paving block was discovered just in time to prevent the passage of a street car horse which would probably have gone in ‘“all over." s = Congressman Horr, Of Michigan, will deliver s celebrated lec- ture on labor problems at the Masonic temple Thursday night, March 22.

And she has lovely golden hair and pretty eyes. Isn't a pity her complexion is so bad; it spoils her looks. And then she bas such dreadful head- aches!” The girls skipped aloug, but 1t happened Edith’s mother had heard what they said. It set her thinking. What could be doue for those head- aches and the rough, muddy complex- ion, that wus such a trial to her duugh- ter. She recalled what she had read of Dr. Pierce’s Golden Medic and on the spur of the moment slipped into a drug store and bought a Edith took it faithfully, with the résult that it eleared her disordered blood, relieved the headaches, made her skin soft, fair and rosy, aud now she is not only the “swoeetest girl in school,” Visit uppears in the following facts: During ‘ but the most beautiful, THE NUDDY'S ANNUAL FLOOD.

Des MoiNes, T, March 20.—In the senate this morning the consideration of the railroad Dill was resumed. Section 23 of the bill was amended by striking out the word ‘‘unjust.” Section 24 was amended by prohibiting the charging of a greater rate for ashort than for a long haul.

Talk of Barring Out the High-Priced “Gastronomical Director." New York, March 20.—[Special Telegram to the Br Joseph Dugnol, the first ‘‘gas- tronomical director” ever imported from Europe, will arrive in New York this week, but whether he will be able to land depends on the temper of the professional cooks of America. He has been hired by W. K. Vanderbilt to do his cooking. He is under contract to remain here fi years for a salary of $10,000 a year, and his_importation 1o this country is in vio- lation of the federal law framed to prevent the bringing of “‘contract labor” from abroad to America. Collector Magone said: “No one hus been to me to object to the coming of M. Dugnol to America. I shall do nothing n the matter uuless it is brought to me through regular channels. If any one should object to his coming I would be™ required, I suppose, to prevent his landing.” United States District Attorney Walker smiled when asked whether Dugnol came under the law relating to the importation of contract labor, *I think he does,” said Mr. Walker. “It is a clear case. If any body ob- jects he would have to return to France and the man who hired him can be fined $1,000. However, I do not know of any attempt to keep Mr. Vanderbilt's cook out of America,” e LS The Tamarack Wreck.
