Itis con- ceded that there is too much laxity. Many of the laws almost a dead letter, The attempt to sccure their en- forcement is_commenduble, but the pe- tition as circulated in one of the churches yesterday is a little strong. It starts out with the bold assertion that **Council Bluffs has attained the repu- tation of being the most lawless city in Towa. If this be true itseems that citizens should all join hands in earn- est work to redeem the reputation with- out calling any further attention to the lamentable fdet, or giving it furth publicit, It is a sad confossion for citizens to make, as they did in signing the petition yesterday. Most of them doubtless never gave it a thought. The statement, though, is not one which will be conceded as true. Coun- cil Bluffs can be improved in many ways. It needs numerous reforms, but far from being the most lawless city in Towa, The records do not show that Council Bluffs is so much worse than other s as to deserve such ‘a reputation, and much less to have its citizens concede that it has such a bad name. The petition was doubtlessly drawn in haste and signed as hastily, Before it is further civculated it had better be modified to conform more o0 Strong.

A Forgotten Volume, A few days ago n musty volume was unearthed in this city, in it have been found several pa highly in- teresting matter, even to the prog ive people of this growing ecity. careful perusal of its mildewed pages tends to convinee one that in many ways new are less desirable than old ones, and that a careful fol- lowing of its precepts would result in much additional comfort and peace of mind to the citizens of to-day ‘The title of this ancient work is *The Compiled_Ordinances of the City of Council Blufls,” and its authors were men who i their day stood well with their fellowmen as keen, ceing citi- zens. The work was published in the interest of the people, and laid down numerous rules and laws, the strict ob- servance of which was deemed nec sary for the successful and satisfactory growth of an inland city. It was thought at the time of its issuanc to completely fill the bill in this line, and its teachings were elosaly followed for awhile, until it was thought that the city had outgrown it, and it was laid away as a thing of the past. Nothing was offered in its place, but certain wise men aeemed themselves eapable of d ng schemes to suit any emer- gency that might arise. and the old book was consigned to the tomb. Aecord- ing to this colume, 1t formerly the duty of certain city officials to see that snow was removed from the sidewalks, that barrels and old boxes were not allowed to accumulate in public place that awnings must be so placed as to be out of the way of ladies’ hats and feathers, and several other things of a similar nature. It is in_this respeet that the progress of civilization in this city is questionable. Electrie cars, in- candescent lights, telephones, and other good things have been added, but the Ccitizens are compelled to endure several inconveniences in order to avail them- selves of them. A few public spirited citizens have expressed a determination to present a petition to the city council for a substi- tution of some of the relics of the *good old days” in place of. some of the new fangled ideas. If the move is succes ful the views of the authorsof the above named work will be provagated, and the craze for the antique intensified. In the interest of public comfort it is hoped that it will be successful. — 1 Roe, dentist, No, over Jacquemin & Co.’s jewel - The London **Tailor get your clothes made customs Additions to the ( Several of the churches of Council Bluffs held services yesterday especially for the purpose of admitting to church membership persons who made a profs sion of faith during the series of me ings recently conducted by Messr: Smeed and Smith.

Why a president of a railroad should blame i “freight agent or blaime even a general officer is a thing [ think every individual citizen of this countr s well as members of the legislature, should question.

Surely, if afreight agent or a passen- ger agent cuts a rate in the manner that President Adams takes so much trouble to deseribe and blame them for, it would be a very easy matter for a president (to use a railway phrase) to cut off their heads.
