Every member is urged to be present, as mat- ters of importance must be considered. The social given by the Acme club at the Royal Arcanum parlors Tuesday evening was o grand success in all ro- spects. The attendance was large and the evening passed most enjoyably. The party at the residence of Mrs. Marshal Key, on Sy th strect, last evening was a brilliunt affair. The oc- casion was the debut in society of the hostess’ charming daughter, Miss Mary. Several anonymous communications for publication have been received at this office, but it will be impossible to take any notice of any matter un- less the full name of the author is ap- pended. Mr. M. Gallagher and Miss Eva Gray were married by Rev. B. P. McMe- nomy, Tuesday afternoon. A ball in honor of the event was given in the spacious halls of St. Joseph’s academy in the evening. The sewer opening at the corner of Eighth street and Fir: venue emits a deadly smell. One would think that the alderman who passes there every evening would take steps to have the | nuisance abated. The Initial Paint market narrowly escaped being consumed Tuesday night. A timely discovery of the flames, by ex- Chief Templeton, who promptly applicd a fow pails of water, was all that averted a serious conflagration. The United Brethren in Christ so- clety, of Avoca, have filed articles of incorporation with the county recorder. The incorporators are S. H., G. W. and Amos Poland, Joseph Mupes, A. A. Randall and Cyrus True. The saloon raiders were abroad in the land yesterday afternoon. Henry Holst’s™ place was visited. but the searchers found nothing with which to satisfy their thirst. Some of the liquor seized a_few days ago at the bottling works of Seivers & Boysen was ordered returned, as Justice Schurz declared the seizure illegal. Deputy United States Marshal can arrived in the city with o Romeo Smith, of Creston. harged with vio- lating the internal revenue law by sell- ing whisky without a license. Ho was examined before Commissioner Hunter and bound over to the next term of the United States court in the sum of $300, which he furnished and was released. The printers have concluded that they can play as good ball as anybody, and will tackle the Council Bluffs *‘pro- fessionals,” otherwise ‘‘Rudio’s dead game kickers,” on the Munawa dia- mond next Sunday afternoon at 3:30 o’clock. Bets of ten to one in favor of the printers go begging, as no one cares to waste money on the ‘'little fellers.” Marriage licenses were issued yester- day to Charles McKown and Martha Gilmore, of this county; Arthur New- man and Cornelia Mauk, of this county; and Martin Dailey and Ellen M. Sulli- van, of this city. As Ellen was not of sufficiently advanced age to satisfy the requirements of the law, her father was called upon to give his sanction to the wedding of his fifteen-year-old daughter. The Iowa state branch of the Wom- an’s Board of Foreign Missions of the Congregational church, has chosen Council Bluffs as its Ilhwe of meeting October 10 and 11. Many of the most inmlliqentludim of the state are en- gaged in this work, and doubtless the session of the board will be full of in- terest and profit to Christian people of all denominations. The meeting will be open to all, both ladies and gentlemen. Mrs. Elizabeth Wageck has filed an information against Mary Allen, charg- ing her with assault and batterv. The former trespassed on the latter’s door- ard, and the resentment due to the of- [ense was expressed in a blow over the head with a piece of board. The case has not been set for trial as yet, owing to the illness of Mrs. Allen’s child, All of the parties live in the southern part of the city, near Straul’s bricl d. M. J. Mueller has received a_private letter from_ his son, Charles, who is in Chicago. He says that “last Saturday I went out to Chaltenham teach to hear Thurman speak. The meeting was held in a large hall, around three sides of which ran a bar. About all T could hear was: ‘Fine beers here,” *What'll you take.” The enthusiasm was intense and the applause uproarious, and the more beers l\l'llll]\‘ the more it became 80." The fast mail coming west on the Chi= cago, Burlington & Quincy Tuesday afternoon, just after leaving Creston, struck a couple of cows, actually smash: ing them into mince meat. The loco- motive, on its arrival at the transfer, looked as though it had run through a slaughter houge, and the entire engine being covered with blood and the re- mains of a cow, and even the enginecer’s face was bespattered with the blood of the chopped up bovine. — - Dun- ¥ Benson & Shepherd have one lot on Avenue B directly north of water works, at a bargain.

HAVE WE A LEGAL GRAND JURY? The District Court—The Organ Con- cert — Reprehensible Shooting— SBome Who Are in Court—Others Who Ought To Be. The District Court Convenes. The August term of the district court is now opened, and has fairly started in on the long list of cases to be ground out before the opening of the Novem- ber term. Tuesduy morning at 10 o'clock was the time set for opening the term, but Judge Loofbourow was not on hand, and the matter was postponed until yesterday morning. At that time court was opened in the usual form, but his honor being still absent, an ad- journment was taken until 2 o'clock in the afternoon. At that hour the court took his seat, and in a very few minutes the routine work of the first day of the term was in full blast. here are now twenty-eight prisoners in the county jail, awaiting the action of this body, besides a large number who are out on bail, and several origi- nal informations will also be brought to the attention of the grand jury. The calendar was gone through, and evegy- thing put in smooth running oraer. The remainder of this week wiil be de- voted to the hearing of equity causes. Next Monday the petit jury will be called. There are 670 cases on the docket—32 criminal, 291 equity, and 347 law cause Trial notices have been served in sixty-three equity and mnety ‘ourt emy but a legal qu stovped all ope nelled the grand jury, ion then came up that ions in that direction. At the last sion of the legislature an act was passed allowing the east end of the county to hold grand jury sessions, in connection with the term of the dis- ‘ ot court at that pla Among the thembers of the present grand jury uve several from the eastern part of the county, and a question of their eligibi ity now comes up. If they are to ha a grand jury at Avoca, it is urgued that they have no place on a jury in Couneil Bluffs. The court took the matterunder advisement, and will pass upon it to-day. In the meantime the men summoned to serve are enjoying a vacation. - Fresh Meat Wanted. Sealed proposals will be received on or before September 1, 1888, at the office of the Nu}wrinlvn(lmn of the ITowa In- stitution for the Education of Deaf and Dumb, Council Bluffs, Towa, for furnish- ing said instivution fresh meat in such quantities as may be ordered, and such times us may be divected.

Lol i A Drunken Shooter. As Mr. A. Louie was returning from Lake Manawa Tuesday evening he was met by thres men in a wagon near the bridge, about half way between the lake and the city. Two of the party ap- peared to be sober, but the third fellow was evidently raving drunk. As Mr. Louie passed the wagon this third party gave vent to a volley of obscene lan- guage. Mr. Louie paid no attention to the insult, but kept on his way. The trio had been left in the rear not more than fifty yards, when the drunken man alighted from the wagon and, drawing a revolver, fired two shots at Mr. Louie, the first one passing uncomfortably close to his head. Mr. Louie whipped up his horse and soon got away from the roughs. He saw a pool of blood in the road a little further on, and looking around to ascertain the cause, he dis- covered a bull lying av the side of the road writhing in the agonies of death from a bullet wound. Mr. Louie told the authorities of the occurrence as soon as he arrived in the city. e Benson & Shepherd have one solid block of lots in Bryant & Clark’s addi- tion, fronting on First avenue and § ond avenue. This is the first block of lots west of Streetsville and they offer it for sale at a bargain.

The board reserves the right to reject any or all bids. HENRY W. ROTHERT, Superintend-ent. —_— In Police Court. Business was lively in police circles Tuesday night,and was correspondingly good in police court yesterday morning. The first to appear was John Leahy,a well known figure in court and for many years one of the most ardent devotees of accnus to be found in the city. He forked over $7.60 without a whimper. J. J. Owens was bled for a similar amount. The case of the pugilistic sivens called forth some very tall swearing. There were three of them-—Dollie Bradley, Hattie Anderson and May Mil- ler. It wastwo to one against Dollie, and she got the worst of it. She was fined $9.60, and the others were dis- charged. The case of J. F. Babcock, a fugitive from Omaha justice, was quickly dis- sed of, and he wassentacrossthe river :g charge of an officer who came after im. Four yags were given thirty days each, and allowed two hours in which to arrange their outside business. Chris . Anderson was ¢harged with neglecting to keep his stock confined upon his premises, and after promising to do better in the future, was released upon paymeut of costs, Minnie Redfield was up for disturbing the peace and as she had enjoyed a uine three-ply . all-wool-and-n-yard-wide jamboree, the court assessed her $10.55. - - GREAT SALE Of Council Bluffs Lots at Auc‘i,n. 1 will offer for sale and sell without X ve to the highest bidder one-half of all the lots in Cochran’s addition to Council Bluff: One lot of every other pair through- out the whole addition h be soid with the privilege to the purchaser of the re- maining lot at the same price.

T An Appreciated Gife, Just before it was time for the curtain to rise for the-first act last evening, Manager Dohany wus called from the box office to the stage, as it was reported that the stage hands were on a strike. On arriving there he asked the cause of the trouble, when a paper was crowded into his hand with the statement that its contents would explain all. He tried to read it, but as he ' had broken his glasses only the day before, he was unuble to peruse it. [n order to raise the cloud from his roubled mind, the boys then passed hima handsome pair of heavy gold bowed eye glasses, with chain and hook. The recipient was so overcome thut he could scarcely voice his thanks. The glasses are very valuable and justly ap- preciated. They are a token of esteem and regard from the scene shifters, car- penters, aud stage helpers. The owner wears them with much dignity. - Get your lawn grass seed at Fearon’s, - 8. B.

Pall Mall Gazette: **We have gen- ment to make, but not often of so much importance as that of this day. It is the discovery of the pool of Bethesds So writes Mr. Wal- ter Besant, in the rly Statement. issued by the Pales ixploration Fund. He is jubilant, as all Palestine enthusiasts are likely to be, that a vexed question in regard to a site is ap- parently settled forever. Bethésda is mentioned only by the evangelist., In the fifth chapter of Mis zospel John says: “Now there is at erusalem by the sheep market [or gate]a pool which is called in the H brew tongue, having fi rches.” The word translated *‘pool” in the author- ized version is given by some authori- ties as wimming bath,” and the phrase **pool by the sheep market” is ssibly better rendered *‘sheep pool.” L}uwhiun explains the occasional red color of the water of this ‘‘sheep as being a trace of carcasses of sheep washed in it before sacrifice; hence the name. There were, according to the evangel- ist, five porches, or porticoes around the pool. These, Dr. Geikie thinks, charity built for the accommodation of sufferers. It seems to us, however, equally probable that they formed part o? the original scheme for the bath. Five porticoes would seem to imply a pentagonal structure, but this is by no means essential. A rectangular pool, with a portico on every side, fii\'ldod by one across the middle, would answer the description. ‘“‘Bethesda” (a He- brew name which was very probably in- vented by John) may ‘mean either “*house of mercy’’ or “the place of the pouring forth” of water, At the northeast of modern Jeru- salem, close to St. Stephen’s Gate, stands the church of St. Anne. At the time of the Crimean war it was a ruined mosque, but when the French came into possession of it they restored the church and handed it over to the Al- gerian monks. It is near the church of St. Anne, and in connection with exca- vations made around it, it was that the real pool of Bethesda has re- cently been discovered by Herr Conrad Schick. There is o courtyard to the northwest of the church, which leads through a newly opened passage into another courtyard some fifty feet square. At the north of this lattér court yard there was at one time a small church. Beneath the floor of this some time church are vaults, and through the floor of these vaults a cis- tern is reached, cut into the rock a depth of thirty feet. The cistern is a )\orlinu of the original Pool of Bethesda. [here is still water in it, but it is diffi- cult to say whence it comes. This, in brief, is Herr Schick’s report of April 5. Since then further excavations have been made, and he has prosecuted more extended inquiries, A twin pool has pen discovered. Further examination will bring more details to light: but it may be now fairly assumed that the two pools, tanks, or cisterns thus discovered really constitute the Pool of Bethesda, “‘having five porches,” where Christ henled & paralytic of cight and thirty years’ standing. - Diamonds in the Wash, Philadelphin Press: *‘Have you the bundle I sent here this morning good-looking young woman asked as s rushed into and Oxford riday mormng.
