Five Burglars in Oae Night, Just as a Starter. A RELENTLESS WAR ON CANINES. Special Bermons For St, Paul's—A Big Cigar Deal—A Butchera' Con- test—Bits of Bluffs Nows. Some Burglarics. Five burglaries were reported to the police yesterday morning by as many citizens whose homes wera invaded the night vrevious. Tho first was reportod by Conductor D. L Blue, of the Chicago & Northwestorn rail- road. He rosides at 211 North Bighth streot. The work was evidently done by profession- als, s the doors were opened by means of pair of nippers. The sleeping apartment of Mr. Blue was 1nv; his pantaloons and vest cacried wway and rifled of their con- tents, about #S in cash and a fine gold watch. The garments were found in the morning under the porch of a neighboring residence. The little grocery store at No. 813 North Eighth street, kept by a poor woman natmed Mrs. Ragan, was entered and tho money drawer robbed. The thioves eutered by tear- ing i mosquito bar netting from a window. They obtained but 10 cents as & reward for r crime. The residence of 8. H.

There is a painful uncertainty intimately associated with the existence of the canine population of Council Bluffs in these hot and sultry dog days. Deuth is in the air and is breathing its flight upon them wherever thoy 2o. The toils of the dog catcher encompass them at every turn, None know the danger better than the poor dogs themselves. The frequent spectacle of a yelling cur dragged across the street at the end of & brignt wire noose strikes terror to the canine hearts, and canine legs that are not yet entangled in the aeadly wire take their owners away from the haunts of men as rapidly as possible. The presence of the dog catchers and their omi- nous black covered cart is & profound and terrible problem to the doggish intellect. The dogs do not try to solve it, but muke a despairing effort to secure sulvation by culti- vating u closer feliowship with their masters and a gisinterested friendship with every- body and everything that can offer protec- tion. The streets and public highways whero the dogs had a right to congregate and scratch their fleas a fow duys ago, and where they did congrecate by hundreds, are now deserted, The thousands of dogs of high and low dezree that have found & habitation in Council Bluffs for months and years past ure gone, many of them into tem- porary hiding and many 1nto thefpound and thence thiough the hogshead of water into the aogs’ potter’s fleld. Yesterday afternoon all of the unclaimed and unredeemed dogs in the pound were given a buth of two and a half minutes in the fatal tank in the rear of tho city jall. As little cruelty as possible attended the aeath, but it was death just as sure. “The dog-catchers are enterprising. They are inspired by fifty cents on each canine. Sometimes their enthusiasm leads them too Yesterdiy the wife of one of the city merchants, was walking along the street, her favorite following her, u dog-catcher quietly drovped in the wake'of the two and soon began to inveigle the dog into his wire cage. The attempt. was _unsuccessful. and after oncor two other like attemots, the ludy’s attention was attracted. She turned about and expressed her opinion of the fel- low in_terms that were decidedly forci- ble. He took it meekly, while the dog, apparently realizing ' the danger, of his situation, streaked for home. The old man Montgomery, who owns sev- eral fine hounds,was visited by the catchers. The old man 18 @ character. He has had many misfortuncs, and is now making a brave strugggle for bread in his old age, but he has little property except dogs, and they do not him any revenue. He promised to pay the nec- essary tax 1n o few days, but the catchers insisted on cash or dogs. Finding that they were determined to take the hounds he turned one of them loose, o regular Sulli- van, who cleared the yard of intruders in about & minute, Some of the catchers mak- ing_their exit in scanty and demoralized clothimng. The old man was complained of, and yesterduy called into court. His case was continued. Several dogs were rescued from death by being purchased. Chief Lucas’ big hearted- ness was touched by the pitiful condition of one dog, and he generously paid $2 for his tax, stuck a tag on the dog and turned him loose. W. W. Bingham, of Omaha, secured a fine bird dog, ransoming him at the price of the tax. Charley White superintends the execution act. He calls three times for some oue, any- one, to pay tho tax. If no response is made, the rope is fastened to the dog's collar, and the canine is_drawn to the bottow of the hogshead and quickly drowned. » .

Certain parties, without brains enough to originate an idea and without energy enough to work up a trade on their own brands, are advertising themsolves as sole agents for tho celebrated Santo Rosa cigars, which we in- troduced ten years ago, and which now en- joy the reputation of being the best and most widely known of any 10 cent cigar sold in the entire west. We therefore desire to in- form the trade that we always have been and are still sole owners and proprietors of this brand of cigars, and wish to_cavtion the trade that all brands of Santo Rosas not made in factory No. 121, first district, Pa., are base imitations of the weil known Santo Rosn, See that the label has printed thoreon the words P, & M.'s Santo Rosa Cuban Made. All others are imitations and are of inferior quali Prnkcoy & Moons, July 20, 188! Council Bluffs, i il A Waterway Wanted. The city council, or a portion of thatindus- trial body, met ns committee of the whole on the corner of Main street and First avenue yesterday to devise some means. of solving another waterway probleni. For many years part of the alley lying parallel with Main and Fourth streets between Broadway and Wil- low avenue has been drained by an open rway constructed across a vacant lot between the alley and Main street. The alley was paved several years ago With this depression in the center. The city had a contract with Mr. Meyers, the owner of the vacant lot, for the rignt of surface waterway from the alley to Mam street ncross the vacant lot. There was no record kept of the contract, however, and when Mr, Meyers sold the lot to its present owner, T, J. Iivans, the contract was an- nulled, Mr. Evans has commenced the erec- tion of 8 two-story brick building on the va- cant lot, and the waterway is thus cut off, The visit of the council was to secure some means of averting a flood in case of a storm. A fill of two feet will be required to turn the water through the alley to Willow avenue, and this would raise the grade to such an extent that it_would seriously damage all the store buildings in tho block. 'Tho ques- tion will be settled at the next meeting of the council. fa. Sl Money loaned at L. B. Craft’s & Co.’s loan office on furniture, pranos, horses, wagons, personal property of ail kinds, tnd all othor articlos of value, without removal. All business strictly confi- dential. s e More Yelling Than Whipping. The case of Ed Snyder, for cruelty to ani- mals, was quickly disposed of yesterday, the charge being dismissed. It appears that City Attorney Holues had been very much wearied at hearing the shouts of drivers and cracks of whips, as teams were being forcod to back into tho city hall alley, in the rear of the Cascade laundry. The laundry does & large business, and there are not only their teams, but others hauling coal, etc., to the place.’ The alley 18 narrow, and the grade a little gifticult, so that drivers as well as horses have thoir patience sorely tried. The frequent_shouts and whip crackings have disturbed the court, and City Attorney Holmes, in his determination to bring about a reform, started in on Snyder. The latter denies that be whipped the horse unduly, and defies the showing of welts or cuts. ~All of the laundry horscs, in fact, have indica- tions of being well kept and carea for. The most plausibio explanation 18 that the noise of drivers has been the chief cause of com- plaint, and now that so unpleasaut notoriety has boen given to the matter, there will be occasion for no further trouble. To Brickmakers: We would like to show you a choice brickyard site near Broadway in Council Bluffs.” Price and terms reasona- ble. Swan & Walker, No. 4 Pearl St. =D Lots of Smoke. Peregoy & Moore, the well-known whole- sule tobacconists of Council Bluffs, gave the largest order recently that was perhaps ever gave in the world to a cigar mauufacturer, The order called for three million cigars of one brand, to be delivered in Council Bluffs in ten thousand lots every day in the week. The cigar is a new brand which they have bought outright. The immensity of this or- der can be better realized when it is consid- cred that this means the work of 800 first- class cigar makers working every day in the waek for months, and to got them to Council Bluffs the exclusive time of perhups fifty more men is required in packing, handling and shipping. They were compelled to buy the entire product of a factory to keep the pirates from stealing the brand and reap- ing a harvest uon the great roputation of the fiem. Just.now they are having a red-hot fight with the pirates who are appropriating the famous Santa Rosa brand. Baths at Munuwa Beach, near hotel. Pri- vate bathing rooms for ladies and children. The Paving Brick Question. 41 see TuE BEE reports a scarcity of pav- ing’ brick in Council Bluffs,” sud a city alderman yesterday, “‘and asserts that Con- tractor Miller has been compelled to go out- side tho city in order to obtain sufiicient brick to complete the contracts for brick pavement awarded him by the city. Idon’t believe a word of it. I[don't believe he has bought a brick out of town. If he has made such a statement [ think it must have been in the nature of a threat to make the Coun- cil Bluffs brickmakers come down in the price of brick. The twelve or fourteen brickyards in the city can furnish all the hard-burned brick Mr. Miller may need for his contracts, One of the objects the coun- cil had in ordering brick paving was to keep all the money st home and there will be no occasion for a foreign brick to be laid in the streets this year. Tue Bee made the ualemim. alluded to upon good authority and for the purpose of furnishing the alderman and the public gen- erally some official information upon the sub- ject, Contractor Miller was asked yesterday ©vaning for the fucts, " “Yes, I have bought 800,000 bricks in Lin- coln, to be delivered here st once in lots of twelve cars ata time. The first train load will arrive next week, Here is the contract, signed, sealed and delivered, and the brick will be !orlhwunnf. 1 would liked to have bought them here if it had been possible. I huve offered $10 a thousand for Council Blufts brick, ana have contracted for all I can ' get at that price, but I gev the Lincoln brick delivered here for $5,50, They are hard-burned wa- chine brick ot better quality than those made bere. If the council had had extended the time of completion of my contract until next June, I think all the material necessary would have been produced here, for a brick- making plant of proper capacity would have been provided by that time. Uncle John Hammer and C. it. Mitchell are now burning akila constructed on scientific principles that in my opinion will produce first-cluss paving material, but it is too late to help me much. My contracts call for the use of about $2,500,000 brick, and if 1,600,000 of these be made here I will be satisfied to pay $10 a thousand for them.” 11 the city council will’ award anybody a contract for 75,000 yards of brick paving,” said Contractor E. A. Wickham yesterday, “I will guarantee the erection this fall of briclk making plant to cost £50,000; or if the board of trade will guarantee it the plant will be erected.” “We have a better offer than that,” said Alderinan Lacy. *‘Ifthe council lets enough more paving to make & total of 40,000 yards we are assured of a $30,000 brick making plant as s00n as it can be erected. This will certalnly be done next year and there will be no scarcity of paving material.”” -~ Went Through a Beidee. The regular passenger and mail tramn on the Wabash road, which left Council Bluffs at 4:80 Thursday afternoon, went through a bridge near Marysville at 9 o'clock the same night. Every coach left the track but the baggage and sleeper. Some of the nassen- gors sustained slight injuries, but none se rious. Oune of the train men had his leg broken. Tue mail car in which M. A. Greg- ory, of this city, takes care of Uucle Sam's mail, was thrown down the embaubment. In its descent it rolled over three umes. and ATURDAY, JULY 27, landed on it sidodm the ditch.

A sick youth was lying in bed watch- ing with quiet eyes his mother’s form moving gently nbout the room where for weeks she had been ministering to him with tenderest heart and hands, says a writer in the Atlantic Mounthly. There had been a stillness there for a little while when the boy spoke. *'I wonder why there are no mothers in fiction.” “Why, theve are, dear; there must be,” the mother answered quickly, but when she tried to name one she found that none came at the call. When she related to me the little incident I, 100, immediately suid that our memory must be strangely at fault that it did not furnish us with examples in plenty. Material love! Why, art was filled with illustrations of it and so was litera- ture. And yet, on making search, 1 too, have failed to ftind the typical mother where it seems she would be so easily found. I‘have nolarge acquuin- tance with the imaginative literature of any language but our own, and the fiction of other countries may afford examples in this kind of which I know nothing. But recalling the work of our own finest and best writers, their treatmentof the subject appears both scant and slight. Calling the roll of them from Fielding and Scott to Haw- thorne and Hardy, it strikes one as singular that they one and all omitted to delineate with any peculiar force and beauty a human type which suggests itself 8o naturally as full of opportunity for artistic representation e Origin of the Term **Lynch Law. It iy not goncrally known that tho term ** lynch law originated in Camp- bell county, Vifginia, before the Revo- lutionary war, says the Pittsburgh Dis- patch. At that period the country was thinly settled and was infested with tories and desperadoes—too many of them np‘}mrcnlly for the local authori- ties to adequately punish. Col. Charles Lynch, a distinguished officer of the Revolutionary army, undertook to rid his county of the outlaws. He organized & force, arrested the outlaws, and, having satisfied bim- gell and comrades of the guilt of the accused, executed them without reference to the constituted authorities. While not altogether approving of the desperate remedy for a desperate cause, the beneficial offect of Colonel Lynch’s action wae recognized and has since been known as “‘Lynch’s law” or “lynch law.” Lynch’s process of meting out speedy justice extended to other parts of thy country, and is a well recognized form of redress of grievances to-day, partic- ularly for that class of offenses that are popularly believed not to be adequately punished by the statutes and courts of the state. Colonel Lynch’s brother gave his name to Lynchburg, and left ason who was subsequently governor of Louisiana. Waltzes. ... Cornet Solo. . e A Wild Western Bank., The bank of Devil Lake, D. T., and many of the business men in early days had in use a design for checks and let- ter heads which was a starling curi- osity. A sheaf of wheat stood upright, vith a ribbon for a band was inscribed: No. 1 hard In hoc signo vinces.” Above the sheaf was a silver dollar resting on its edge, the reference be- ing to the uniform price, $1 a bushel for wheat in those days. Upon the dollar was presented an outline of the lake. Above the dollar stond Beelzebub with tail revealed, holding scales in one hand and pointing with & speur in the other tothe exact location of the city on the lake. The motto, “Give the Devil His Due,” completed this odd de- vice. This was printed upon the bills of the bank. ————— The English Autograph Market.

Virgil's Description of a Frize Fight Between Trojan Sluggors. The first prize fight of which we have any detailed description, says the New Orleans Picayune, was specially r ported by the great Latin poet, Virgil, in the fifth book of the /Eneid. When Prince Alneas was escaping with his followers from the destructian of Troy he anchored his fleet off the coast of Sicily and landed the men and women for a season of rest. To celebrate the occasion he orgamzed contests of arch- ers, wrestlers and boxes, besides a re- gatta and foot-races. The prize ficht was between Entellus, an old athlete, and Dares, a young champion of the ring. We are not told 1f the marquis of Queensberry’s rules were used or not, bus there were scientific regulations, Both champions had their fists armed with gloves of rawhide and lead. Entellus, ‘“‘stripped of his quilted cont, his body bared, composed of mighty bones and brawn,” while Dares “his . rawny back and ample breast he hows.” Both on the tiptoe stand at full extent, ‘Their arme aloft, their bodies inly bent; Their heads froim aiming blows they 'bear afar, With clashing gauntlets they provoke the War. Bofore, behind, the blows are dealt: around Their Hollow sides with rattliug thumps re- sound. Heavy with age, Entellus stands his ground, But with his warping body wards the wound. His hand and watchful eye keep even pace, While Dares traverses sud shifts his place, And like a captain who beleaguers round Some stronghold castle on a rising ground, Views all the approaches with observing eyes, And more on art than on force relies. Finally the old man grows warm and rushes upon his antagonist: He lays on loads with either hands amain, Nor stop nor stays, nor rest nor breath al- loms, But storms brow. The young man is beaten and bas to be taken from the ficld. Huflml:i“(h and nostrils poured & purple ood, And broken teeth came rushing with bis blood. — A Geological Curiosity. What is described as a geological riosity is in the office of the acting chief clerk of the United States war de- partment, Washington, It is a piece of stone weighing about one pound, 13 inches in length, 2 inches in width and # inch thick. There is no doubt about its being a genuine stone, but it nevertheless possesses the flexibility of a piece of India_rubber. When taken in the hand and shaken in the direc- tion of its flat surface, it will bend back- ward and forward with a_dull sound. This 15 what is known as itacolumnite, or olastic sandstone, It is stated that a whole mountain of it exists in south- ern Nevada, a short distance east of Death Valley. Itisfound in California, Georgia_and other localities in the United States. ek Ao Divorce and Drunkenness Unk nown. In Leed’s Valley, in the vicinity of Birmingham, Ala., there is a colony composed of a religious sect known as Shermanites. There are about one hundred families, and a_happier, more contented people cannot be found in the world. Therr religious rites and cere- monies are peculiar. Who founded the society none of them seems to know, but it is very old, as the fathers and grandfathers ol the present generation were Shermanites. They claim to fol- low the teachings of the New Testa- ment in spirit and letter, and they be- lieve that only Shermanites will inherit the kingdom of heaven, They have churohes and have preachers and wor: ship in a mannersimiliar to many other religious sects. One of their peculiar rites 1s the washing of feet. A foot- washing service is held once every month, at which the preacher washes the fect of every member of his church. The members then in turn wash the feet of the preacher and each other. They are industrious and scrupulously honest. Divoree and drunkenness are never kunown among them. The men never cut their hair or beards. of strokes descend on Dares’ SPECIAL NOTICES., QOR RENT—1, 2 or nicely furnished rooms at 710 First dvenue, TOR EXCHANGE—Some valuables property. in Council Bluffs for & well fmproved farin in eastern Nebraska.
