The report was received in the city last evening that Perry Reel, ex-sheriff of Potta- ‘wattamie county, had died at his home at Reel's station, u few miles east of the city. The news of Lis death was not unexpected, as he had been failing for months of a com- lication of diseases, chief of which was right’s disease and for the past two weeks his death had been looked for at any time. The deceasad had been u resident of this county for a great many years and had won the esteem of a very wide circle of friends, aud an expression of the contidence in which be was held resulted in placiog him in the sherifs ofice. The announcewent of the funeral will appear later. —————e ’ Hear the famous whistler tonight, —~—~— The Boozers and Scrappers, Weduesduy night an altercation occurred between J. . Norwood, the colored janitor of the Council Bluffs club rooms, and M. MeGiunis, an attache of the Manhattan, ana both were landed in jail by Oficer Martin, Norwood was drunk and ugly and started to wuse the Manhattan telephone. He called up central and was abusing the lady operator in charge for some fancied griovance overan al- leged failure to quickly respond to his call, when McGinnis ordered him out of the place. The darkey turned his volley of abuse on MoGinnis and dared him to go outside and fight, He finally went out and McGinnis thouglit no more of the matter until some time luter, when he passed out the door and received a blow from Norwood, who was wating for him. McGionis quickly recov- ered, and for the next few winutes the bellig- ent Norwood was mauled around the side- walk in o wanner that was anything but pleasant for him, Just then the oficer ap- peared and the two men were taken in, thoe colored man being locked in a cell.

WILL CHANGE TO SIX WARDS. A Butcher Thirats tor Gora—Hooz:rs and Scrappers in Court—Avrangs ing for a Test of Chemical En- gines—Gener, The Aldermen Get Afterthe Engincer At the council meeting Wednesday even- ing the vity engineer came in for a scoring The cause of it was the complaints made re- garding the building of sidewalks in _various parts of the city, it being alleged that they were not according to specifications. Aa- other grievance was the alleged fact that the contractors tors up good plank sidewalks on streets where they had contracts, while the contract distinetly provided that good walks should not be aisturbed. The matter . was discussed at some length, and finally Alder wan Knephor demanded to know of the city engineer if he knew whether or not the con- tractors were complying with the specifica- tions. I'he engincer was compelled to answer that he did not. *Well,” said the alderman, “[ Jo, and I know that they are not comply- ing with the specitications, but you give them their estimates just the same and they draw their money for the work.” He niso told some other equally un- pleasant things that had come to his knowledge, about the manner in which certain business was conducted, and there was double-distilied fun in the council chum- ber for a few minutes. ‘The matter evidently set some of the mem- bers to thinking, for tho alderman from the Ihirst ward was on hand at the ¢ ty building bright and early vesterday morning, and he was full of first class rotrénchment ideas. “What 18 the use of a sidewalk inspector, anyhow,” he demanded as his auditors gatherad closer avout. the fou 8tool, on which he had perehed. paying out 34 day for this kind of work, and it isn't doing 3§ cents worth of good. Anybody with half an cyecan see that this work 150't being done according to specifica- tions. The city engineer ought to attend to this. When a contract is let he should give the contractor his lines and tell him to do the work uccording to specifications. The specifi- cations say that there hall be four inches of sand under brick sidewalks. Db they put it there! Well, not much. As Alderman Knepher said last night, a man would havo to hustle 1o find two inches of sand 10 a good many places. No inspector is needed. Wheu the work is done the en- gineer should measure it up, and before re- turninghis estimate_should remove an occa- sional brick here and there and see how the work was done. If it wasn't according to specifications no estimate would be returned, and Mr. Contractor wouldn’t get a cent, How many lessons do you suppose they would need? I rather imagzine that one would do the business. 1f they found out that the council weant business, and that the con- tract meant just what it said, I tell you that the sidewalks would be lmd according to the specificetions, 11 the contractors knew that the engineer was camping right on their trail, und would not give an cstimate unless ho khew that the work was just as it should be, they would not run the risk of having the job refused by neglecting to puv in all tho sand that was called for. The trouble is that matters ave run in too haphazard a manner, aud when the engineer gives the contractor an estimate of work performed he does uot examine it us olosely as he should.” (RN S TFountain cigar, & strictly 100 cigar for 5c at the Fountain, Try one. el Suddle Rock restaurant, 403 Broadway, open day and night. sirst class, J.

Some folks think that the Third ward is too large, yet neither of the ordinances intro- duced provide for changing it, Idon't know as it ought to be changed, but I merely stated that to show you that there is a great difference as to just whore the lines should be. As for the division in the western part of the city, that is a matter that should be carefully investigated before a decision is reached. Iam in favor of cutting off the Fourth ward at about Eighth street, and the Third ward at about Fourth strect, and then those two wards would be plenty large enough, It would also leave the Sixth ward of proper size, 8o far as population 18 concerned. On the north side of Broadway the Second ward ought to ena at Niuth or Tenth street, and that would give a nice vote in every ward, It would ba of a size that could ve easily handled on election duy without any delay or trouble at the polls. I am in favor of electing & board of public works, in which ease there would be no oc- casion for redistricting the city, but 1t such @ bourd is nov elected we ought to have more aldermen, Under the present system a man has more thun he can attend to, and the business of the city canuot receive the attention that it should. It is frequently necessary to rush matters in order to get work disposed of, and it would be far better to havo more aldermen among whom the work could be divided, in which case busi- ness would be trausacted i better shape and the responsibility for any varticular move could be placed right where it be- longed, in case there was any necessicy for doing 80. Matters would move along much wore harmoniously, and the people would be better satisfied. Two more aldermen are badly needea, and none know it better than the present mombers of the council, If any- body tells you that we don’t want @ change, dou’t believe him. More wards will surely be established, and the plan of division will be similar to those that have already been proposed.”! ————— —— Fine stock of watches and joweiry for the holidays at Wollman’s, 533 Broaaway. o Bl Sheet music 10c, 535 Broadway. canlan’s, C.

Two good horses and two good n 18 all that is needed, and the whole thing goes like clockwork. We decided several weeks ago to huve u test of any engines that the companies might desire to send here, and tne Holloway company 18 now manufactur- ing one for this purpose. At the convention of chief enginecrs at Kansas City the repre- sentatives of this company and of the Fira Extinguisher company were both present, and each agreed to send an_engine. Now the latter company writes and saya that they will not compete because over 90 per cent of the chemical engines in use 1n the country are of their make, and at they have éverything to lose and noth ing to gain by such u test, while with the Holloway the reverse is the case. They are positive they ean beat the Holloway, but are fearful of the result 1 case the other com- pany should in some way happen to lay them out. Now, what's gong to be done?"” That's easy,” said Alderman Lacy, “‘and I'll tell you, They won’t sell an engine to this city unless they come in and compete. When they fiud it out they will come. If their goods are more desirable than the other they ought to be able to show it, and if they are afraid to try, it surely isn't the fault of the other cowmpany. I'believe we will have a side by side test of chemical en- gizes in the Bluffs, and that before vel long.

The Way Men in Many Places Get Their Wives. _The most unsatisfactory courtship o all must be the Turkish, where the can- didate for matrimony is forbidden to see the bride and must act through a broker, generally an old woman, who interests hersell for a consideration, and who can usually be bought by the one who pays the most. When the knot is tied, then for the first time the brdegroom secs the bride’s face. Often the vesult isa disappoint- ment,and the promised nymph or houri turns out to be plain, unattractive, ignorant and uncompanionable. No wonder, with such possibilities, the path of divorce is made very casy in the land of the BRurk. Among savage tribes the bride is gen- evally carried off by force,nas among the Australians, where the force is entirely personal. The man who wants a wife simply waylays his intended and either knocks her senscless with a club or else chokes her into submission, Then he makes her accompany him into the busn, where they live solitary and alone for the next three months, for he cannot even return to hisown tribe for that length of time. If he should return to hers, it would death, for they would at once proceed to kill him and take back the woman. At the end of the yeur, however, he can take her back, and if she makes no complaints agauinst him, that he hasnot provided for her properly, he can keep her. The provision is simply in the eating line, for neither husband nor wife wear any clothes while in the bush. The necessary provisions consists of kangaroo meat, worms and snakes, as the Austrelian savage.is not at all par- ticular in his or her die The sign of the married state among the women is the pulling out of a front tooth, smong the men itis the cytting off of the little finger of the righ®hand at the first joint, There is another dif- ficulty in the way of the Australian lover. If he does not get her to his huv before she fully recovers from her club- bing or choking, whichever it may be, he is likely to bave a lively tussle with his new wife for the Australinn damsel is by no means effeminite, and will fight valiantly for her liberty. Some of the nomad tribes that in- habit the plateaus of Asia have the custom of making a lover fight for his wife before he can get Ler, says a writer in the Chicago Globe, hence, he gathers his friends and they make a fo- ray upon the bride's friends, who gen- erally include @ large part of any of that particular subdivision of the tribe., If the attacking party win, the bridegroom gets his wife, without com- pensation to the parents,as a luwful spoi If the bride’s friends are victo- rious, then the bridegroom has to pay such a price as the victors may exact, which is usually a large part of his whole possessions. In other places the beidegroom must carry off the bride upon his back. If she is willing and makes no ob, all is well, butif she is unwilling there are usually a plenty to help her, and the poor bridegroom comes out a good deal worse for his experience.

In Greece there is a rule, always ob- served, that when an old woman is the bearer' of a proposal she must wear stockings of different colors. As they also wear their skirts rather short, the purpose of the old lady is atonce up- parent to the whole community. Hence there is a modern Greek rhyme Slke hus on stockings of two colors, Methinks we shali have an offer. 1f the proposal is rejected the apphi- cant is said to “‘eat gruel.” The mean- g of the saying seems to be unknown, One thing which teunds to make ut least one daughter in every family an eligible partic is the peculiar laiv that the eldest inherits all her parents’ property, to the exclusion of the other brothers and sisters, even her mother’s embroidered garments and the upon which she says her prayers in church. In some parts of Greece the gitl can never find a husband until she has a house of her own. This makes a large family of girls a peculiarly hed den to the father of the family. in such cases the proposal comes from the bride’s family and the bridegroom makes as good a bargain as he ca In the Urkraine the maiden is the one that does all the courting. When she fulls in love with a man she goes to house and tells him the state of her feelings. If he reciprocates all is well and a formal marringe isduty arranged. If, however, he is unwilling, she re- mains there, hoping:to coax him into a better mind. The poor fellow ¢annot treat her with tho least discourtesy or turn her out, for her friends would be sure to avenge the nsult. His best chance, therefore, if he is really determined that he wont, is to leave his home and stay away as long asshe is in it. This is certainly a very peculiar way of turming & man out of house and home. On the Isthmus of Darien, either sox can do the courting with the natural re- sult that nearly everybody gets married. There is not quite the same chance where the girl has to bide the motions of a hesitating and bashful swain. There is a curious courtship custom in Oud Beierland, Holland. October 1s the auspicions month for such an enter- prise and the flrst Sunday is always the appointed time. On that day the lads and lg attired in their best, prome- nade the village separately, staring each other out of countenance. Hence this is called “‘review 2 On the Second Sunday of the month the men go to the girls of their choice and try to learn whether they are garded with favor or not. This, ther fore. decision day, probably becuuse at that time the men make up their minds. On the third Sunday (called the day of purchase, why 1o ofie seems to know) the lover is expocted to try to steal his l:ulfv love’s pocket handkerchief. If she malkes no outery or struggle, it is count- ed asign that he will have no troublein winning her, On tha fourth Sunday the lover re- stores the handkerchief and proceeds to promenade with tho fair one, who sel- dom objects when things have gone so far. This, therefore, is called taking possession day. The young folks having had theivin- nings, the old folks take a hand, and on the next Sunday the lover comes to the house of the bride’s parents and stuys to tea. There is always a huge brown loaf of gingerbread, which the parents cut and distribute. If they give the young man a picce of hard, dry erust,it 15 an unfailing sign that his attentions are unwelcome. If they give him a nice soft piece they ave acceptable, and he is permitted to' come again and to act exactly as one of the family The courtship of tne Esquimaux is al- most as peculiar, The old folks get to- gether and avrange the match. The question then avises: 1s he able to sup- port a wife? 1o order to answer thisto the satisfaction of all parties he is re- quired to go out and kill a polar bear. As soon a8 he has done this he comes in and sneaks behind the door of his sweetheart’s house and when she comes out he tries to pounce upon her and carry her to his dog-sledge. If she can get away she does so, kicking, scratch- ing and biting like a perfect fu Tre gives chase, whereupon all the old women rush out and beat her with frozen strips of sealskin ‘until she falls ex- hausted, He then rushes her to the sledgo, whips up thp'dogs, and the mur- ringe ceremonies ave all over, Lo We are the People, Business men fram' Nebraska for Chi- eago, Milwaukee abd all eastern cities will please note that by the new time schedule (in effect from and after No- vember 17, 1880), they can a Omahaabout 4 p. m.-can do busin visit with Omaha mevchants and fr for nearly two houra, and can then take the through Pullman sleeping car of the Chicago, Milwitukee & St. Paul railway short line 'Tast train at Omaha depot of the Union Pacific railway a1t 6 p. m.
