The saloon war is now on in the most ag- gressive style, and new developments may bo expected daily. Notonly has thiere a new element been added to the ranks of those who are striving to enforce the law, but it is stated that several of those whose saloons have been closed have made up their minds to follow the example recently set them by the barbers, and aee to it that others shall not be allowed to do that from which they are enjoined. The groater part of this business is being conducted through Justice Barnett's court, and the search warrants are served by Constable Covalt. It is stated that a notice was served yes- terday of an application for an injunction against the place in the rear of the Manhat- tan, and that several more will be served to-day. Some of the ex-saloon keepers are hot because they were cinched and com- pelied to pay a fine of 500 or over for con- tempt of court, while other parties, against whom injunctions were issued two or three yoars ago, are still allowed to continue the business.

A. A. Clark & Co. ——— + City steam laundry, 84 Main, tel, 141, T What's the Matter With the Bluff ? One of the first things that strikes the visitor to the Bluffs as being remarkable is the large number of new buildings in course of erection in all parts of the city, and count- less questions are daily asked concerning the hundreds of new roofs which are to be seen from almost any good wvoint of elevation. Last year the amount of public improve- ments excited the same wonder, and it was claimed by some thet the work in this line would soon be far ahead of the city itself. That such a statement was envirely with~ out foundation s upparent at a glance at the 1olluwin§ figures, as to the amount of money expended thus far this year in tbe erection of new buildings in the city. The number of building permits issued by the city clerk for the first six monti hy . The money consideration is very large, as the table below will show, but it does not in- clude more than onehalf of the buildings erected this year, mits for which were the last three months of last year. consideration does not finclude the large Kiseman and Merriam blocks, electric light building and others, which are still i the hands of workmen. A careful estimate by parties in position to know, places the value of improvements in the Bluffs for the first 81X mon! at $1,000,000, This includes rading and curbing contracts to July 1. The Ful half of the year will swell this amount largely, as all the sewerage, paving and a large portion of the grading and curbing will be done. The following table will show the number of permits issued and the money considera- tion of the same during the first six wmonths of 1889: sider- January , L0052 $438,110 Its will be readily seen that the Bluffs is not only easily koeping pace with its ex- tensive public improvements, but that it will take a very progressive council to keep the public improvements up with the city. The extensive work that has been done for the past two years by the park comum sioners, and the miles of paving ordered by the coun- cll have been absolutely necessary, and it will be impossible for either of these two bodies 10 indulge in any let-up next year. This year's work is by no wuans insignifl- cant, s w,:mj'ml- of paving, a half mile of sowcrage and several thousaud dollurs' worth of park improvements will attest. A promiuent business man of the city ex- pressed the correct view of the situation yes- terday when be made the following state- ment : “If we hadn’t had & boom two years ago we would shiok now that we are haviog just tho greatost kind of a boom. There s one thing cortain, and thut is that our present growth, although partaking of nothing of the natiire of 4 boom, is far more profitable to the city, and it 1s equally certain that it has come to stay. -~ Notice the beautiful finish given col- lars, cuffs and shirts by Cascade Laun- dry company. City Council Procecdings. The city council met last night in weekly session with all the members present. The judiciary committee reported back the petition of Mrs. Amy for remission of taxes without recommendation, Alderman Everett stated that the citizens of Washington avenus who had petitioned the council to meet them as a board of health in regard to the abatement of the nuisances complained of in connection with a certain house between the mill and Second street, and that the council failed to materialize at the meeting fixed for that purpose, and moved that the council tuke @ recess and meet a8 & board of health, The motion was carried and the council convened as such bourd. Marshal Turley, Peter Hansan and Josiah Danforth and M, Turlay appeared and mude their defense to the charge that thei property was a nuisance. After hearing tho complaints and the defense the council re- convenod, R. E. Turner petitioned for a croesing over the Rock Island and Milwaukee tracks at Sixteenth and Twenty-sixth strects, as the present grade barricaded the street. Granted. A complaint was mado against the hack- men and expressmen by the C. B. Paint and Oil company, charging them with obstruct- ing the street in front of their place of bus- iness on Fourth. Referred to judiciary com- mittee, Resolutions wore passed ovdering the con- struction of sidewalks on various streets. ‘I'he clerk was instructed to advertise for bids, to be opened August 6, for the construc- tion of sewers on Fletcher avenue from Se ond street to Oakland avenue, and on Benton street from Broadway to Indian creek. ‘The resolution directing the grading of Harmony street from Benton to Frank street to bo rescinded was ost. The finance committee. to whom was re- ferred the matter of enlarging the eity build- ing by the expenditure of §5,000, reported ad- versely, and recommended the purshase of additional ground, including a tract reach- ing through to Main street. Luko Manawa people asked for the appro- priation of $1,200 for the construction of an olectric light wire to the city limits in the direction of the lake. Referred to lighting committee. The matter of insufficiency of paving brick wus inquired into and Alderman Lacy stated that propositions had made from capitalists that if the city could order enough brick paving to make 40,000 yards, including that alrendy ordered, they would put in a plant for making brick costing £30,000 und employ- ing not less than a hundred men. "The ordinunco assessing cost of paving to railroads where their tracks are laid on paved streets, was passed.

S The Crop Outlook in Pottawattamie. Mr. Horuce Everett, who has just returned from Norwalk township, reports the corn crop to be very promising and evenly good, while the oats are almost an utter failure, He personally examined the grain in many flelds where it was being harvested and found nothing but chaff, the crop being de- stroyed by rust. The farmers told him that in the center of the fields the oats were not 60 badly injured, but they did not think they were worth harvesting. This report is so different from the crop reports of the Regis- ter of the 14th that it is worth mentioning. Mr. Everctt also reports the hay crop very light, especially timothy, and the pastures very scant. Almost every county in the state is repre- sented in the weekly crop reports of the Reg- ister except Pottawattamic, How is this! Are there no farmers in the county who will report to the Iowa experimental station weekly the condition of the crops and the rainfall} —_—— J. G. Tipton, real estote, 527 B’dway. e Dr. C. C.

Anyone who has a small package of con- solution on hand can dispose of it at much better than prevailing market prices to Nick O'Brien, of the Manhattau. Nick is com- pelled to be out rather late, and decided, a few weeks ago, to purchase a small black and tan dog to look after his household affairs during his absence. He also became the possessor of an immense “Colvs 41,” about half us loug as his arm, and gave it out cold that he did not propose to put up with any monkey work on the part of burglars. He went home a few nights since, placed the gun at the head of the bed, tucked the dog to lecp on a cushion on the tloor and was soon sound asleep himself. In the morning he woke to & most startling surprise. A burg- lar had been there and had not gone away ompty handed. The prowlerentered through the window, and after waking a thorough tour of the house had coolly taken his de- parture, taking with bim the gun, dog and the pantaloons of the sleeping proprietor. 1t was a_heartless trick on the partof the midnight depredator, and one of which few would be guilty. Nick has ascertained that the gun was sola to the man who runs the stationary engine at the Northwestern round house, and the pants were discovered on the back yard fence, but the dog is still missing. Nick’s modesty forbade him asking for sym- pathy, but it is ueeded just the same, and his friends are requested 0 govern themselyes accordingly, ———— Money loaned at L. B.

Extrrordinary Mothods For Making Women Artificially Attractive. A shrewd little business woman who keeps a beauty parlor in Twenty-third street where oils, creams, balms,lotion soaps, perfumes, powders and toilet o ticles arp offered for sale, has this i scription over the door leading to the cabinet: **Trust me ull in all or not at all.” Keen-eyed and close-mouthed, wary as only a woman of the world can be, she brings to her profession the e: perience and intelligence of a madic career and the refinements of a lady, says the New York World. For reasons of her own she lives entirely within herself, is known as **Madame’ by her customers, and with the assistance of a young woman conducts a business which, while ive, is both remun- erative and pectabla, No man is ever seen to enter the place save as a | messenger or collector; and, while any woman can buy goods, only a chosen few are admitted to the toilet cabinet for treatment, aud it is from these fow that ner income is derived. She values her time at the rate of $5 an hour, but she is quick in treating a case, clear in preseribing, and in a fifteen-minute talk one is often put in possession of most valuable hints. The patron is seated in an adjustable chaiv and a hand-glass placed in her lap. By degress the shade is rolled from the wiadow and madame looks her customer over and knows the tl be done in an insta face is thoroughl, it, to open the Blotches and toaming ruptions. of tho lips aro treated with sweet oil and cream. in- flamed lips are ointed, iashes combed and_clipped, eyebrows shaped to d scribe protty curves, where there tendency to meet the bridge of the no: is clenrea of straggling hairs with electric needle. She trains the hair to grow about the temples in the manner most becoming to the face, and *‘scold- ing locks" and “‘ear pieces” are effectu- ally dealt with, A poor complexion is made the sub- ject of dietic philosophy, and if nece: sary, she will make out a bill of fare which. if adhered to for a year. will ce tainly prove beneficial, not only to the face, but to the geueral health of the body. She has great faith in perspirn- tion, and advises long walks, even in the hottest weather, with the face he: ily veiled. Kitchen work is also pre- scribed. Not long’ ago a resident of Fifth avenue, who a cook year, was told ‘to go in kitehen and _ shell peas, a cake, or knead bread for hour every day to freshen her e plexion. Madame is an enthusi an extent bordering on maduess on the subject of cleanliness,and argues that there is a degree of pe equally as fascinating as out actually cleaning the hair, she will direct the work and superintend an ar- rangément most agreeable to the lines of the face. She has recipes for swee ening the breath and hundreds of tricks to make lovely women doubly attractive. T'or instance, any one can manicure a pair of hands, but few are able to cure redness of the skin and swollen veins. She advises muscular action. woman is ordered to fan her: nette mounted on a rod of silver is s gested for another, so that when not in use too highly colored members are piled on the tip of the rod, thus forcing the blood down from the hands; a third is told to knit incessantly. has in mind two beautiful women pursu- ing this plan,whose names are famouson both continents, Of all the remarkable things done by this very remarka woman, that of dressing a la arms exceeds everything else. Some otherwise beautiful arms nre marred by a light growth of hair, to which sleeveless bathing suit and lace-sleeved walking dresses have so lurgely con- duced, One season of the beach is all the lesson a society woman needs; after that she takes her ocean dip in long sleeve illk mitts and abroad-brimmed hat. But the mischief accomplished, it is necessary to pluck the arms before the creature can ap- pear in evening dress. In this opera- tion the madame is an expert. = S goes over the arm with a pair of twee ers the day of the opera, ball, or pot party, and drawing out the darker hair from the shoulder to the wrist, re- sorts to some delicate paste to conceal the down that remains. Of course this treatment has to be repeated for each subsequent occasion, and_those ladies who go in society a great deal find the the low-neck und short-sleeve bodice a most expensive fashion. These visits are kept profoundly secret and are made by uppointment, One lady pays the madame 8100 u year to dress her right arm only, the left she does herself, and a well known singer’s mouth is kept free from the hateful shade of a dark mustache for %60 paid in monthly checks. Some half dozen women of position and wealth go to the parlor to have their hair examined and the threads of silver pulled out or touched with bleach- ing fluid. While many of her patrons are notn a position to keep a maid, there are more who prefer that the ser- vants us well as the members of their family be kept in ignorance of the an- noyance resulting from creeping age. e Tale Nove!s. The annual consignment of novels for summer reading has arrived, and com- rises several interesting books. Num- er 98 of the Globe library, published by Rand, McNally & Co., Chicago, con- tains *“Three Yeéars,” transluted from the German by Mary J, Safford. The April number ofthe Rialto series, by the same pablishers, comprises “Merze,” by Mary E. Ryan. It is an attractive volume, telling the story of an actress. The Manhattan series for May has brought out ““Roslyn’s Trust,” by Luncy C. Lillie, from the press of A. L. Burt, of York. Sanford & Co., of New York, has issued thesecond edition of “Frances,’” by Florence French- Kelly. This book deals with the moral question of society and handles the subject in an able manner. ‘‘Can Love Sin?” just published by T. B. Peterson & Bros., Pniladelphia, is an originul American novel, which will attract considerable attention. It is writte by Mark Douglas. and unfolds its story in Washington and Portland. The ti- tlo is a sufficient indication of its sub- ject. — The critics of New York severely scored “Grisette, a Tale of Paris and New York,” by Lew Rosen, when that meretricions novel first appeared.
