It only served to get the council considerably up on their ears and brought the mayor to the front with surprising alacrity. Tt is possible that the matter would not have been brought to the atteution of the council in any shape whatever had not Alderman Bellinger in- sisted on makmng a report. It seems that he had constituted himself an Investigation committee of one, for the purpose of inquir- ing into J that in- dividual t with the world at large. His report was, in substance, as follows: “While recognizing the fact that it is the province of the mayor as head of the police force to appoint or discharge men at will, and without desiring or intending to_1uter- fere in the least with his actions in this di- rection, I deem that E. E. Joselyn is entitled to a hearing or investigation regarding cer- tain charges as to his conduct whilo a mem- ber of the force. After carefully investizat- ing said charges, 1 find that th is no foun- dation for them, and that he should be fully exonerated from any complicity or connec- tion with the Scout-Leland tragedy.” Resvectfully submitted, I P, BELLINORK, Alderman, Second ward. ‘While the clerk was reading the report the mayor twisted about uncasily i his chair, und it was barely completed before ne was on his fect. *I have always made it a point since I have been mayor,” said he, ‘‘to re- frain from interfering in any way with the work of committees, and it strikes me that [ am entitled to the same treatment at the hends of the council, Timagine that [ am cupable of running the police foree, and Lam of the opinion that any interference is en- tirely uncalled for, I did not accuse Juselyn of any complicity or connection with the Scott-Leland affair; in fact, 1 did nov make and, quite naturatly, those ansounced for the comng son ure looked forward to ‘with much interest, Mrs. 1.

Messrs, Kimbull & Champ are experi- ncing some difficulty in getting the build- ings on the new hotel site vacated. Some of the tenants complain that they have been insultingly and arbitrarily treated, and will not get out until they have to. They do not. like to hinder a project of as much import- snce as the new hotel, butiusist that they have rights which hotel builders or anyone elae are bound to respect. Harmony Chapter No. 25, 0. E. gave the first of o seres of parties at Muasonic templo last evening. ‘lhere was a largo company present, and it was @ most enjoy- able affair. Notonly was the dancing floor ‘well filled, but a large number found amuse- ment at the card tables in the parlors. Au elegant supper was served at 11:80. It is the intention to give four of these parties this season---one on the second Wednesday of each month. The parties given by this order have all been most delightful affairs, and the demand for more ot them tnduced the giving of a series. Tho initial one last evening promises well for those to follow. Pat Hopkins was taken before 'Squire Bchurz yesterday on o warrant charging nim with nssuult and battery on his wife. The pair were marricd twenty years ago in Bra- =il and bave frequently figured in court be- fore on similar charges. Pat wanted the court to go his. bail, but his honor could hardly sce it that way, and in compliance with the frequently whisperea request of tho wife, “Sena him down to juil, judge, send him down to jail.” he was sent down until 2 o’clock this afternoon, when tho case comes ap for trial. Pat wanted to be locked up for &wenty-four hours and call it square, but the court would not have it so, man from the Second ward says he adwits my right o do as I please in tho matter, and I would like to know why lie interfered in tho case because Joselyn wa sdissatisfied.” “Joselyn did not spodk to me about it answered the alderman referred to. *‘He never said a word to me, but some of his friends did and wanted tho case presented i it proper light.” “Eriends,” snorted the mayor, contemptu- mr_slyd ;'l didn’'t know that he had any 5 riends. “'Well, e has,” insisted tho alderman, ‘“and it was at their request thut I made this investigation and prepared this report.” Joselyn has o cominunication thero some- where,” interrupted Alderman Lacy, ‘‘and Yurlmrm thav bad better be read right here. e handed it to me, but I passed iv in with- out examining it.” The lotter was extracted from a pile of papers and the clerl: proceeded to read it. As its contents became spparent a largo healthy grin o'erspread the features of sev- erul of the aldermen, and a look of mngled interest and painful amusement was visible upon the face of his honor, the mayor, The letter started out with the information that in the springtime, gentia Annie, the mayor would amble forth, duly equipped and pro- visioned, for a lengthy yachtiug trip to the headquarters of the salne branch. The .ex-club wielder based his belief on numerous _inconsistencies attributed to tho. chief municipal executive. He asserted that it was impossible for the police to close the saloons at 12 o'clock Sat- urday night, when the mayor had to have an invigorator at 1 o'clock Sunday morming. He commented adversely on his ability to manage the police force, and stated that ho was *fired” because he attended a road house dance one night when off duty, while another ofiicer who was on duty on Upper Broadw: and left his beat to attend the dance, and few nights later left his beat to visit the Clover bagnio in company with ex-Police- man Scott, had been promoted to the position of captain, He stated that he was not kick- ing for reinstatement, but he wanted the council to know how things were going. He was aware that certain parties had it in for him, and knew that the mayor was not en- tirely to blame, as he baa to appoint or dis- chargo men us certain politicians dictated, He stated that the mayor had called him up ‘‘on the carpet,” and lectured him for drink- ing and playing cards, when, as a matter of fact, bo never drauk 1n his hfe, but he un- derstood it as simply a pretext of those who wanted him bounced. When the r-umnr was completed the mayor smd he bad a little something to say. He denied that he ever had Joselyn ‘‘on the carpet! for drinking, and would prove it by the chief of polive, Aldorman Everett did not tnink it neces- sary forthe council to take any action in the wmatter, and Alderman Laocy wanted the sub- ject dropped. He was bcth glad ana sorry bat the letter had been read--sorry that the wayor had been subjected (o such an attack, aud glad that it had been revealed what the man must be who who would write such a letter. He did not know anything about the merits of the case, but was satisfied that it was proper to ignominously bounce any one wl::)lwuuhl send in the commpuication just read.

Several petitions for refund of taxes or re- duction of personal assessment as ordered by the city eouncil were concurred in, The bonds of county officars were fixed as follows: Treasurer, $140,000; auditor, £10,000; sheriff, $10,000; surveyor, $3,000} coroner, $1,000; superintendent of ' schools, $1,000. ¥ A number of road petitions were passed upon, The auditor was instructed to advertise for proposals from bridge builders to be re- ceived up to noon of January 8, 15, for the ercction of all county bridges for the year onding April 1, 1891, The action of the city council in canceling the assessment of personal property of 1he Council Bluffs Gas Light company of §1,005, showing same to be @ double assessment, was concurred in. ‘The board considered the advisability of appropriating 2,000 to ussist in improving the rouds entering the city, but no action was taken.

Some Seasonable Suggestions About Tasty ant Usetal Presents, The most puzzling task at Christmas is to select presents for fathers and brothers, Two years a certain young woman (this by way of veminisence) failed to find anything she thought suituble for her brother, says St, Nic! olus. But after much perplexity a cof- fee cup and sauc duiun‘y decorated, were sclected, and it was gratefully used at about three hundred and sixty | breakfasts during the following year. The next year a cut glass salt-cellar aad pepper box were given. Besides these and similar articles, one might try canvas or linen slipper cases, made to hang against the wall; inkstands and other articles for desks; silver match boxes. razors (for which the tra- ditional penny should be exacted). shav- ing glasses, cases of shaving paper, or, that always welcome friend, a mufllor. A case for carrying collars and cuffs when traveling is a useful present for many. The outside may be of any ma- terial available and the lining should be of silk, but a stiff interliming of buckram should be inserted, ‘In short, make it like a music-roll, but not so wide, and fasten it with a fancy leather strap and buckle. Decorate the outside with some pretty device—the initials or monogram of the prospective owner, I shall make no Turther suggestions of artivles especially suitable for the sterner sex, but among the presents which will do equally well for either father or mothea, brother or sister, may be mentioned umbrellas,uiabrella cases, chairs of more or less elaborate work- manship, from the pretty wicker or rattan chair to those’ which are pro- fusely carved or richly upholstered; opera glasses, gloves, handkerchiefs handkerchief cases, gold vencils, foun- tain pens, card cases, napkin rings and books. Many of the large publishing houses keep on sale pictures of authors, Twenty-five cents will buy a portrait of almosv uny well known author, These are usually wood engravings, and ox- cellent of their kind, well printed on ood paper, in size about ten by twelve fnches. For the same picture on India paper (which,of course,is more durable, and admits of a filner 1mpression), $1 may be asked, and the extra money will be well spent. A neatly framed portrait of the favorite author of a friend makes a charming gift at but small cost. Many make it a practice to subscribe to some favorite magazine or paper, as & Christmas gift, and those who wish to confer an ever-new pleasure may well beur this in mind, With so many cap- ital publications, devoted to all imagin- able tastes and pursuits, a choice will not be difficult. Children, especially, enjoy receiving their own papers and mugizines, and a present of this kind can, by a saymaut far from large, be guaranteed to last one year, a surely which can never be furnished wick any t%\l', no matter how expensive or endur- able.

Success of the New Agricultural In- dustry in Kansas, No branch of western agriculture has ever been watehiod with keener in- terest than the development uof sor- ghum sugar making, and Kunsas, the centor of experimental operations, is thoroughly absorbed in the enterpriso, writes a Fort Scott corresponaecnt of the Chicago Tribune. At the close of the seuson of 1888, those who were di- rectly interested in the several sugar factories of the state announced, as the result of the year’s operatioi that sorghum sugar making had passed the experimental point, and was an acknowledged fask : Latey develop- ments, however, demonstrate that there were many things yet to be learned before the industry could be made profitable to farm and others who entered it indiscriminately. To thoughtful men this was no more than what might have been reasonably e “‘mcmu from an entirely new in- ustry, regarding which ' little was known four years ngo, yet the public was somewhat misled by tho bouyant, but premature enthusiasm of sugar operators, The rosult was that many communities, especially in the western part of Kunsas, made prepara- tions to build factories and avail them- selves of the liberal provisions of the Inw passed by the legislature last win- ter,providing for the voting of bonds for such institutions, When it was discov- ered that there were yet many obsta- cles in the way of operating fantorios successfully, and that experienced and skilled labor was required to construet and operate such enterprises, a reaction took place, and the people concluded to await further developments. For this reason tho results of the present sea- son’s work has been looked for with ab- sorbing thterest from all sides. With those familiar with what has been done during the last three years it is not doubted that sorghum cane will produce a certain quantity of good sugar and an excellent article of . Neither do they doubt that with factor- ies properly constructed and run by ex- perienced men on strictly business prin- ciples, sorghum sugar can be inade at o good profit. It is not now, however, an industry in which promiscuous communities of farmers can engage with positive assurance of success. It must be gradually and systematically expanded, as men are ed- ucated to direct it. and the factories now in operation must be made avail- able as training schools from which to supply new works with skilled labor. ‘This fact has been well illustrated by the experience of the several sugar fac- tories in operation at thoe present time. The works at ForScott gave training to several men during the first two years of its experimental work, and these men ve gone to other points, like Conway Springs, Douglus, Topeka, , where they have met with fair pss in making sugar at a profit. When Secretary Rusk visited the sugar works of Kaunsas a few weeks since, he came, doubtless, expecting to find a new industry in which almost any in- telligent farmer could engage, and he was disapoointed when he ascertained by investigation that it was very much of an exclusive industry, requiring skill, education, and first-class business and executive ability. There is no longer a doubt. however, that sorghum sugar making has come to stay, and that it is destined te form one of the most important resources of Kunsas, S e L At the Spinning Wheel. W, T.

P HERR VON RO1TENBERG. He Was Promoted Krom a Counting- Room By the Great Bismarck, Prince Bismarck’s private socretary, Herr von Rottenberg, has just left Lon- don after a stay of a week’s duration, says o London letter to Birmingham Pos His visit wasa mournful one, being occasioned by the death of his young and beautiful wife. The bereaveo- ment was sosudden and unexpected that Herr von Rottenberg, summoned from Friedrichsruhe, where he was staying with Bismarck, was compelled to ‘eave at a moment’s notice. The loss of this highly gitted lady will be severely folt at Berlin, As an English- woman she was much looked up to by the members ot the English society of that capital, Much dissidence and many a mluundersluudin[f has been avoided by her timely interference. She was considered among the most in- tellactual and accomplished women in the society surrounding the chancellor, Herr von Rottenberg, who is some- times introduced.by Bismarck to for- eign diplomatists us his right hand, while he facetiously adds that he keeps his right arm for Bifiself, owes the high position he enjoys to his own genius und the keen perception of the prince, by whom it was discovered. Count Herbert had been a college’ chum of Herr von Rottenberg, and’ Mad maintained a friendly correspondence in after life, One day Prince Bismarck, on finding on his &on’s desk a brochure entitled ‘*An Ideal State,” put - it 1n his pocket, curfols to see the subject of Count HerbertWstudics. The chan- cellor was delighted on perusing the work, and ln%ulrud:hith much interest concerning the avthor, On learning that he was engaged in commercial pur- suits muzh against his wishes, his taste being wholly devoted toscience und lit- erature, the prince immediately ex- claimed, *“Then let him come to us. The author of that brochure is just the man wanted in our chancellerie; just the man I should like to consult; the man to give valuable advice in state difficulties, Write to him at once.” This was done. Young Rottenber; eagerly accepted the offer and deserte: hig uncles's counting-house with de- light, although warned by his friends that the post would be a hard one. Such it has proved with a vengeance. Bismarck is a man to whom fatigue, whether of mind or of body, is un- koown, He can work from 7 in the morning until 9 8t unight, scarcely al- lowing himself time for meals; and, then, again will supplement the labor of the day with another spell of work Wl midnight. And never yet has Heer von Rottenberg failed to keep pace with this giant patvon. He hns, in- deed, become indisponsable to the great muster, who cannot bear his absence for n moment. Itis n common saying among the rmans that Bismarck’s oyesight, hearing and moemory are all represonted by Herr von Rottenberdg. - SIR EDWIN AND GEN. SHERMAN. The st-Bditor Finds the Old War- rior an Interesting Man Tt was my good fortune to make at New York the close acquaintance of another and hardly loss renowned sol- dier of the vepublic, General Sherman, nor could any conversations have be more interesting than those in which he did me the honor to describe and discuss, among many other matters,that wonderful ana memorable march led by him, which pierced the confederate states like the thrustol a rapier and nelped largely to bring about the col- lapse of “‘secessson,” writes Sir Edwin Arnold to the London Telograph. Thoe general was evidently and justly dis- contented with certain criticisms which have appeared in England, from o high military source, upon the conduct of the campnign. *We have,” he said, ‘‘to creato armies before we could use them in the established and scientific way, and it is unfair and illogical to {\n\gu the first two years of our war as f we hud been commanding trained and goasoned troops, In the third year we had regiments to lend as good and skillod s commanding ~ officers could ask for, and to the move- ments then made the rules of military science may be properly ap- plied.” Ganeral Sherman spoke of the quality of courage in soldiersand men generally distinguishing it impatiently from brutish and irrational reckless- ness. “Truo cournge,” he said, *is founded on presence of mind. The man who in the face of imminent peril can hold up his hand and count the fingers on it quite ealmly is the brave, self-pos- sessed, relinblo individual. Moreover, true courage gocs with unsolfishness, 1 have seen un officer fight on unflinch- ingly .In my presence, bleeding from many wounds, of which he was disdain- fully heedless, and in later life have witnessed the gentloman turn deadly white while he held the hand of his child that a surgeon might operate for some trifling abscess.” Many were the thrilling episodes and adventures of the great war which fell in fascinating recital from the lips of General Sherman, but thev ave either recorded in the pages of his autobiog- raphy or are too long and discursive to be set down hera. Oune little flash of humor is perhaps worth preserving from all the war talk which we enjoyed. “*General Thoma said he, “‘junior to me in rank, but senior in service, was a storn disciplinarian. He had received any complaints about the pilfer- g and plundering committed by one of his brigades, and, being resolved to put this offense down he issued some strict orders, menacing with death any who should transgress. The brigade in question wore for its badge an acorn, in silver or gold, and the men were inordinately proud of chis distinctive sign. Several cases of disobedience had been reported to the general, but the evidence was never strong enough for decisive action, until one day, riding with an orderly down a by-lane outside the posts, Thomas came full upon an Irishman who, having laid aside his rifle, with which he had killed a hog, was busily engaged in skinning the animal with' his sword-bayoanet, so a8 to muke easy work with the bristies, ete., before cooking pork chops. ‘Ah.’ cried the general, ‘you rascal, at last 1 have canght you 1n the uct. There is no mistuke about it this tirne,and I will make an example of you, sirl’ ‘* ‘Bedad! general, honey!’ said the Irislimeu, straightening himself up and coming to the salute, ‘it’s not shootin’ me that you ought to be at, but re- wardin’ me.” ***What do you mean, si?’ exclaimed General Thomas. ***Why, your Honor!’ the soldier re- plied, ‘this bad baste here had {ust been disicratin’ the rigimental badge; and 80 L was forced to dispntch him. It’s ’utin’ the acorns that I found him at!’ Even Gencral Thomas was obliged to laugh at this, and the soldier saved his life by his wit.” s LOTS OF FUN FOR THE BEAR. But it's Hard on the Massachusetts TYowns Where Ho Roams. Writes a Fall River, Mass., corres- pondent of the New York Sun: ‘‘Ac- cording to reports from different towns, there is more than one bear at large in this section of Massachusetts. Last weelc a bear was seen in the vicinity of Taunton, and it was at first supposed to be the same one which had spread a reign of terror through Norfolk county. But last Sunday a bear was seen on the road between this city and Taunton,and ono was also seen at Needhum, It could hardly have been the same bear, and the conviction is gaining ground that Briswol county hasa bear of its own. The Bristol county bear was first seen near Kast Taunton one day last week, and was apparently headed for Fall River. Last Suturday night the bear made his appearance in Becrkley. David Stone has a milk farm on Berkley com- mon, on the road between Taunton and this city. There is a piazza at the rear of tne house, on which the cans of milk are left over night, Suturday night about 11 o'clock, My, Stone was uwaken~ ed by the furious barking of his dogs. Accompanied by his brother, he went down stairs to investigate, On opening the back door they discovered the bear seated on the piazza trying to get the wooden stopper out of one of tho cans, On seeing the light the bear dropped the can and started for the door. One of the dogs leaped in front of the beur to head him off, but Bruin, with one blow of a huge paw, laid the dog’s head open. The door was hastily closed and fastened, but the bear began a furious scratching and attempted to force an entrance, The family re- treated to the upper floor, and make a barricade out of the furniture, Finally the bear apparently became tired of trying to force the door, and started off, Mr, Stone fived at him from an upper window, but the durkness made his aim uncertain, and the bear was unharmed. Sunday morning Mr, Stone went to Tauntoa and reported his adventure. A party was made up to go in pursuit, and word was also sent to this city, and a party went up from hers Stone’s neighbors for miles around joined in the chase, and when the Fall River party arrived they found a collection of sev- hundred men and boys armed with shot guns, rifles, blunderbusses, Hlint locks, scythes, pitchforks, axes and other WEApons. ‘I'be trail was taken up atStone’s farm nhouse, and was in plain sight along the country road, It was followed for sev- eral miles into Freetown. At the Al- gevine school house Bruin bad left the road and taken to the woods. In the woods 1t was more difficult to keep the trail, ana, after keeping up the search for a few hours after dark with the aid of lanterns, the party !uve up the search for the night and went home. Next day and every day this week the search has been rcnewed without suc- cess. ‘The people of Berkley and Free- town are living in a state of terror be- el Buls Cizen ND VICINITY.
