The largest house that has been seen at Dohany's this year was toat of last evening, when the Cleveland-Haverly minstreis held | the boards. The “‘standing room only" sign was hung out shortly after 8 o'clock, and when the curtain rang up there was very little standing room to be haa. The enter- tainment was a revelation in minstrelsy and ‘without exception the tinest thing of its kind ever produced in the city. The only objectionable feature was the rushing of the programme, which was cut considerably to allow the company to make the Rock Island train cast at 10:45, that train being beld uutil that time o await the arrival of the Union Pacifie. ‘This was s source of great disappointment to the audience, and the management was censured on this account. When the cur- tawn fell at 10 o'clock, the audience kept their seats, expecting somothing that never came, ‘when they sorrowfully left the hall. That was all that marred an otherwise perfect en- tertainment. - LU The New Ogden, Council Bluffs, fluest and Jargest hotel 1 westorn lowa.

Mayor Rohrer's Views on the Olty Hall Question. THE WORK OF THE GRAND JURY. A Reduction in the Tax Lovy By the County Board of Supervisors —~New Sewers Ordered —Goneral Notes, Mayor Rohrer Home Again, Mayor Rohrer roturned yesterday morn ing from Avalon, Mo., where he was called w attend the funeral of his brother last Sun- day, A rush of ofcial business awaited his return, and he was atlowed little time for rest before beginning the work of signing a large lot of city warrants for bills ailowed at the last session of the council. The mayor is considerably indisposed at present. but hopes to work off his ill health in a few days. He was asked regarding several city matters, but could give nothing but rather unsatis- factory information, owing to his absence and ignorance of what had transpired during that time. However, he was induced to express him. self on the city hall question, d he: * don’t believe that the people are ripe for that yet, and it would be poor policy to have them pass upon it now. We don’t want a city nall 10 cost less than $125,000 or $150,000, and as I understand it, a lurge proportion of our cit- izens havo au idea that aboat: $25,000 or £50,- 000 would put upas fine a buildinz as the city requires. We ought to have our public buildings in proportion. The government building cost _ £200,000; the county court house #165,000, and & city hall should not cost less than $125000. I don't think it advisable to do anything about it this year, except to secure a good site, It will take some time to do that, for we want a place where we will notbe cramped tor room. We open the bids for sites on the 16th iust., and then porhaps we will be able to get some idea as to what it will cost, und what is the most favorabie lo- cation suggested, but a site can mot be pur- chased inside of two or three months. If the city 18 willing to put about $150,000 into & new puilding, it may be all right, but T am ufraid that this is rather soon to think of it.” “Changing the subject. what do these bids just submitted to the council mean—thae par- chase of a chemical engine?" “1 gidn’t know that thecity had advertised for any vids for furnishing & cnewmical en- gine, or auy other apparatus for the fire de- partment. I don’t know as the city wants a chemical. It socenmis that there are popular crazes in fine apparatus, just the same as i everything else, and just now chemical en- gines are quite fashionable—and I guess that they are very good things, O course the city will have to provide new upparatus for that new hose house on Lower Broadway, but T don’t think that suybody knows just yet what the new appavatus will be, It is very probablo that a nose cart will be put down there, and the uew apparatus located more centrally, A hose cart isneeded there, and a chemical engine would not be desiruble except for the business portioa of the cit; 1t is too early yot Lo tell waat will bs done, The city is doing considcrable now in the improvement line, and it will uot do to rush things too fast.” e Money loaned at L.

State County" Bridge School Insane Poor. . Court house bonds Soldiers’ reler. . 18K This is & re 5 mills as compared with last year's levy, which was 1514 mills. The board then procesded to elect an over- seer of the poor, and on the first ballot re- clected M. D. Hardin, who received four votes, H. Goss receiving one. Mr. Waite, who is confined to his home by illness, sent his vote by messenger. The tax levy for this year, both city and county, is greatly ducad from last year, when it'amounted to ills, and in 1887 it amounted to 68b§ This year the city levy is 33 mills, and the county levy ns above stated, 13 mills. The school tax of 1 mill in the county levy will not affect the property owners of this city, as this is an independent school district und has a special levy. The school tax for the city will be 18 mills, which will make this year's total levy 501 mills, a re- duction of 14% milis. The school tax last year was 11 mills, but with the increased as- sessed valuation a 18 mill tax will raise the necessary amount this year, ol Dr. Murphy,optician, room 216 Merriam blk. gphiiah room 3 “The Famous" cash bargain house, 200 B'y. L Work of th: Grand Jary. The grand jury 18 waking haste slowly, and is holding half-day sessions. Various reasons are assigned for this, and all of them may be partislly responsible for it. The principal reason alleged is that work is dragging and witnesses can not be secured as fast as desired. There are not as many cases to be 1vestigated as at the last ses- sion, but considerable time is required to getthom in presentable shaps. One of the grand jurers, Sauire Pratt, is in poor health, and for the past few duys has been feeling s0 badly that it was with difficulty that he attended the meeting of that body. Wednes- day afternoon the jurors and a part of the board of supervisors went to Omaha to take in the exposition, and to these three causes may be attributed the small amount of work done thus far by the grand jury. It is stated that no report will be made this weel, and there is little reason to expect a return of indictments until the latter part of next week, T — Dwelling for sale on easy payments.

No. B10 Pearl Street, Council Bluffs. subject Mr. Depew remarked: “I had seen him once before in Tyrol with his grandfather when the chances of his becoming emperor scemed very remote. [ thought him then a manly, self-pos- sessed young fellow. Now he looks every inch the emperor in all that the word means from the modern and me- diwvel standpoint. He looked, so far as nineteenth century conditions would permit, what Frederick the Great might have been in his time. His sole idea seems to be militarismon land and on sea for the vrotection of the German empire and for the maintenance of its unity and power. He has taken very careful notes of one of the greatest naval military displays that the world has ever seen, an array of avmument which was intended to astonish him and to show him the value of Englund as an ally, and the danger of having her as an enemy. You should have seen him look at those new cannon which fire twelve shots to the minute, on the Teutonic. He went through th a dose of salts, examined them iusi and out, and turning to an officor at 1 side he snid emphatically: *‘We must have those guns,and quick, too.” He listened with mild interest to the de- seription of the fine cabins and luxu- rious accommodations for the passegers, but what he wanted to know all about was those twin serews, und what they would do under pressure.” SPECIAL NOTICES.
