The plan to make it so large as to be in fact as well s in name “The Chautaugaa of the West,” is evidently the strong feature of its suceess, Occasionally some one is heard to ask *Why don’t they begin small and work up! Why ask for so much to start with (" Those who have familiarized themselves with the plans sce very readily why the en- terprise had better never start than start feebly. The grounds must be so arranged as to provide for the accomodation of from ten to twenty thousand people daily. There must be cnough moncy spent in- securing at- tractions to draw this sumber of people the e b soasonr. Dinloas this. 18/80n6 thers is little use in appealing to the railways and o citizens of Omaha und the surrounding country for subscriptions to aid it. If all that is intended is a mere Sunday school con- vention, which will draw a few hundred people here every year, then it would soon lose its attractions even for these few hun- dred. Such a gathering Council Bluffs ought to be able to provide for without soli- citing any co-operation on the part of oth Those who have already subscribed b done so with the assurance that no start will made until 30,000 has been secured, and this amount swelled as soon as possible to $100,000. The only way to make it a success is to have it on so grand ascale us to enable it to secure at any price the best talent in the nation, and with @ merely nominal ense to the ndi- vidual attendont secure from the accumu- lated mitcs of the tens of thousands suffi- cient to meoet th expenses and further the improvements to grounds from the surplus. The first year is all important. Unless the very best at i arc offcred the first season the crowds cannot be drawn hithe the next year., ‘The enterprise is no experi- ment, the New York assombly haying dem- onstrated the fact that one national assembly located (n the east is not sufticicnt to accom- modate the country, and that another, equally extensive and attrict is needed at sowme \wml in the west. Skall Council Bluffs and Omaha be that western center for these crowds of intelligent ople to gather euch summer! It remains ¥ with the citizens of Council Bluffs to answer that question. Some of the eiti zens have alreudy cust their votes in its fuvor ¢ pledging about §15,000. This week others will be asked to vote in like manner. The enterprise has boen pretty thorou ex plained, and if the citiz of Couneil Bluffs will swell the amount to 20,000 there will be in securing the rest of ihe ed finanucial backing. Public-spivited us should not wait to be urged by some sittee, but should step to the front yol- untarily ind state th unt they will e ibute. Mr. J. E. I ss, the seeretary, will gladly weiconie suclt subscriptions, and it is as much the daty of such to go to to others of the comwitiee, as 1o thiese workers ta hunt them up, their time and strength hering au cn terprise in which they have no » personal interest than tue ones whose subscriptions are solivited. Fhe time L ¢ when Council Bluffs wust decide, « ckly whether aviil itself is grand op portunity, or rest indiffer und sec the wegtern Chautsug ubly located at soume " other center ouglhit not” to take wenty-four hours secure neede awount if those wko Wding to would cqme forward and contribnte accorg- ng to their ability, whether it be much or itue, . The outlook is very nn.-nurwinT and thers ‘e avery gssurange that if Council Bluffs shows itself to be in earn. earnest, the co-operation of Omn‘a and of the numerous {ul]_wa (s cen! lg wmpe two cities can be easily seeuted. Without this earnest and united action on the part of the citizens it is glmogt nepdlegs to solieit such co-operation. It i§ Délieved that the enterprising citizens, on thus being informed of the gituation and of the encouraging pros- pects of success, will promptly respond and at once place the Chautauqua assembly on a solid foundation, which shall cause it to be & permanent and increasing success. The op- portunity is a grand one, and realizing_this, Council Bluffs will be found ready to do its full share, —_—— Piles cured with certainty. Drs. Moser & Van Ness, Council Bluffs, Ta. AR theriy An Outrageous Assault. Yesterday there was another startling sermon on the need of social purity. It was the case of Charles Norton, a man aged thirty-three years, charged with making an indecent assault upon a little girl, Minnie Osler, aged about eight years, The details of the affair were untit for public recital. The prisoner was in the employ of Mr. Osler on a farm, and the alleged outrage occurred while the family were away from home at Carson doing some trading. The evidence of the little girl was very clear and straight- forward, impressing all the hearers with the truthfulness of her étatements, The defend- ant went upon the stand and simply denied that he was guilty. He remembered the day well on which the alleged assault was made. He was playing with the children, and romp- ing with little Minnie and her twin_sisters, who were younger, and he merely caught hold of her in fun Wwith no intent to do any wrong. An elder sister, who was at a n boring school house, returned home in the afternoon and found her little sister cry- ing. The little » girl said thav Charlie had caught her and kissed her, which made her mad. -~ She did not tell all that oc curred until a fow days later. About a week after this occurrence the elder sister, a girl of about fourteen, was approached by him in s0 familiar a manner that she became indig- nant at the libertics he attempted. She then told her folks about what her little sister had told her, and Morton was arrested. He said that they wouldu’t hang him; that the most that could be done was to send himacross the state, and he could stand that. Morton is a_swarthy-complexioned, rather low-browed fellow. His sister, a young lady, sits beside him during the trial, while next to her sits his aged mother. The' attorney for the defense asked for an order of the court requiring the little girl to be subjected to a physical examination, but the prosecution ob- jected to this, as it was not claimed that the girl was physically injured, and therefore the examination would be immaterial. The case will be submitted to the jury to-day. e siloiay Some nice lots on avenue A for sale. Johnson & Van Patten, 33 Main street. —— Building Permits.

Dissatiefied with the Mayor's Appoint- ments—The Ex-City Attorney and a Councilman Indulge in a Spir« ited Set-to— About the Oity. Who Did 1t? The monotony of a fireman’s life was broken into Sunday night by two fires, and now people would like to know who did it. The first was about 9 o'clock, and wound up in the total destruction of a_barn on the corner of Twenty-scventh and Q streets, owned by B. Jetter. There were seven horses in the barn at the time, but they were all rescued and tho spectators aided in keeping the fire from spreading, The ~ fire company was on hand but there were no hydrants within _reach, and &0 far as the provisions made by the city council were concerned, the whole Third ward might have been destroyed. The second fire took away the newly built roundhouse of the Fremont, Elkhorn & Missouri Vailey railrond. It started about 3 o'clock in_the morning and was burned to the ground before most people were awuke. Employes say_that there has been no fire in the building after 11 o'clock Sunday morn- ing, so that_ everything points to the work of an_incendiary. The loss is confined to the building only, and will amount to about §300. The Council Meeting. “Standing room only” was hung outside of the city hall last night to prevent toomany of the electors coming in and secing the re- sult of their work at the late election. The council itself was all there, and the members bore their honors meekly. Mayor Sloan sat on the recently erected platform, and sur- veyed the scene with a little more self pos- session than at the previous meeting. Coun- cilmen Smith and Bayliss shared a table with the reporters, and busied themselves with numberless petitions and _ordinances. Councilman Balthurst Jetter held down the end of the bench next the mayor, and Coun- cilman Dan Rafferty sat alongside to keep him ie order. Councilman MacMillan me next, and divided his time between a cigar and the business, but it's only Tai to say that the business received the most attention. Councilman Feunno had @ chair to himself, just opposite the mayor, and watched the proceedings for future reference. Councilmen Burke and O'Rourk also secured chairs and watched the rest of the council and each other. arshal McCracken was in full uni- form, and, as_sergeant-at-arms, called the meeting to order, to listen to the reports of Police Judge Reuther and himself. They listened, and then adopted the reports. The ordinance commit reported favorably on the ordinance appointing a street commis- sioner, and it was read a second and third time. It calls for some one to look after streets, alleys, siddéwalks, viaducts and other things, at a salary of §65 per month, the said “'some one” to furnish a bond of £1,000 as a guarantee that he will. It passed, and then Councilman Smith handed inordinances 45, 50, 43 and 49, relating to gas, lighting and salaries, as souvenirs of the old council. After hearing what they were about they were given over to the tender mercies of the new ordinance committee. The streets and alleys’ committee asked for more time and got it. Councilman Bayliss reported for the special committee told off to examine the books of ex-Treasurer Hunt that they had investigated and found them correct. The es to the credit of the city were $1,765.72 in the general fund, $641.81in the school fund and $13 in the dog fand, making a total of £2,416.53. Merchants on N street asked permission to appoint M. J. Murphy as a block watchman at their own expense, and were allowed the privilege. TwenYy'nine residents asked that D. R. Mills be apdointed street commis- sioner and the petition was nded over to the mayor, while the petition of Pat Rice for a position on the police force was re- ferred to the committee on police, By permission of the mayor W. S. Make- peace spoke at some length on the recent ap- pointment of E. J. Doud as city attorney. He intimated that he had been retained by a number of citizens, and that papers neces- sary to a suit of quo warranto had been pre- pared for the purpose of settling the disputed question as to whether the present incum- bent was chigible or not. Before bringing suit, however, he wished to cite a number of paragraphs from the statutes bearing on the subject, and he cited until Councilman Burke got tired and asked that he be called to order. Tne mayor protected him, however, and he spoke until he got through. The city attorney was instructed to draft an ordinance governing and numbering and naming of streets, and the committee on po- lice was told to sce that the police cells were put in proper shape. Th \co committee reported favorably on fifteen bill, submitted to them and unfa- vorably on eleven and the eleven were re- ferred back. Then it was found there were no funds to pay the other fifteen and they shared the same fate. Then about one hour was devoted to a gen- eral discussion, in which the old council got the worst of it. The engincer was ed to furnish profiles and hines for the grading on rious strects, and said he would do it, but stated that the necessary figures were in the hands of the ex-engineer who refused to g them up. That brought to light the fact that the city owed the ex-engincer $180, and that he wouldn't give up the plans until he was paid. There ney to pay him, and the matter was referred. Councilman Burke wanted the policemen paid their salary for the last three months, but he too was met with the cry of no funds, and the *‘force” will have to hustle. A station at Q street was wanted for west end residents, and Councilmen MacMillan, Rafferty and the mayor were appointed to see that they pot it. . As a Horse Market. Among other things South Omaha is com- ing to the front as a horse market, and Fred S. Rockwell of Montrose, Col., Is the latest buyer. Years ago Fred was the Rock Island stock agent at Owmaha and Council Bluffs, but at last he went to ranching and has been making money ever since, He came cast a few days ago, and has picked a few choice additions to his stud, Zumong them being the following stallions: Silver, a_grey two-year old and by im- ported Joseph, by Vivian No. 785, Percheon tsudbook, dam Maria by Richelieu, sccond dam by Walbranch, weight 1,600, Top Gallant, two years old in May, iron groy, sired by imported Percheon horse Vivian, registered No. 785, and dam u stand- ard bred mare, weight 1,100, Mt.

Betore His Honor. The police court is daily becoming more in- teresting and in self-defense Judge Reuther is fencing in his desk, in order to keep the crowd of unemployed from coming into too close contact with him, Yesterday Mike Keuny was accused of being drunk, but was given @ chance to get sober, Frank Paul and Rudolph Lang were two boys thal came from Creston Ta., in search of a job. As they were look- ing for it apout 2 0'clock in the morning, and carried an ugly-looking revolver apiece, Ofti cer Redmond ran them in and they were each fined §1 and costs, John Tierney and John Ogleman disturbed the peace by fight- ing, but the prosecuting attorney couldn’t make the charge stick against Tierney, and he was discharged on technical grounds. Ogelman was in the same fight, but got the worst of it, and paic 3 and costs into the treasury Those in the vicinity of Twenty-fifth N. streets were edified by seemng @ ‘serap between one of the city fathers and a lawyer vesterday. The trouble arose over a po- lice court case, in which Attorney Grice suc ceeded in secu of a prisoner charged with fighting whrage t vi and plimentary remarks were indulged fn sides. Bayligs lost his temper firs bot The cocyctiman, however, intimated n- weition of “doing’’ his rival up the first time he cfmfl t him gutejde the cify limits, and @ Wwarrant was accor |ngl{lh jued for his ar- rest. — On second thought, however, it was withdrawn, and now they never speak as they pass by, Still Booming. Real estate is moving off rapidly and the rogular spring boom is well under way. Last weck agents were all busy and footed up total sales amounting to $25,000, one firm heading the list with $10,000, This week the South Omaha land company commence the building of twenty cottages north of the stock yards and west of the track, and al- ready some of them have found purchasers.
