Tt Was Winte The last Sunday of 1880 made itself felt in the Bluffs. The high wind of Saturday night increased until, by sunrise Sunday morning, it was blowing a gale. The mer- cury continued to drop until it reached a point 14> above zero, where 1t rested for several hours, apparently convinced that it was the prover pluce for the time of year. Indeed, it was very respectable winter ‘weather during the eutive day, the mercury at o time registering more than 202 above zero. The wind blew flercely until about 3 o'clock in the afternoon, when it lulled con- siderably, und tho remainder of the day was comparatively comfortavle. Until after the wind went down there was very little travel, and the streets werc de- serted, There were few who possessed the inclinatioa to “leavo cozy firesides to brave tho blustoring, wintry weather without u less It was actually necessary, and as it Bunday this was nou generally the case. Travel on the motor line was unusually light, o fact greatly appreciated by tho motormen, who found it far wmore comfort. able to nestle inthe recessos of their im- mense fur coats than to twist the brakes and pick up or let off pussongers at every street crossiug, “Itwas really tho fivst winter's day ex- perienced this scason, and for this reason the cold was felt more, together with the fact that the change on Saturday night was such a decided one. It caused the coal men and clothing merchants to roam about with 8 seli-satistied air, whil? o yard-wide smile lluminated their countenances, Few others saw anything particularly funny about it, but as nearly & whole month of ‘winter had been allowed to slip by without even a suapicion of a blizzard or *‘morther,” there ‘was littlo disposition to kick, i il P.

Although the spring election is yet two months distant, the political workers are gotting their wires in readiness to pull at the y convention, and it is an undisputed fact that the spring campaign of 1800 will be a lively one. The indications are that the principal battle will be fougnt in the conven- tion, as there are several candidates and all have a strong following. The oftices to be filled at the next election are mayor, marshal, vity solicitor, city engineer, audi- tor, treasurer, police judge, supecintendent of markets, two members of the school board and five aidermen. ‘Ihe aldermen to be elected are from the First, Second, Fifth and Sixth wards, and one alderman-at-large. As there will be quite a fight for several of the oftices, the campaign will be possessod of unusua) interest. Ior theoftice of mayor and the accompa- Q4 year there arc nuimerous as- nong them being 8. B. Wadsworth, ‘ae, Judge W, C. James and P. understood that Mayor Rohrer will not seek re-clection, but as soon as his term of ofiice expires will devote his time and energies to compel the city to evacuate that portion of Sixtecnth avenue, between Main and Third streets, that is claimed by Mrs. Rohrer as her personal proporty. The belief is expressed by politiciaus of both parties that the democratic majority in the city is suflicient to insure the election of u democratic mayor, unies an un- usually objectionable candidate is selceted to muke the T The are those amoug the democratic can- didates who would poll wmany republican votes, Itis known that auy of the four above mentioned could be prevailed upon to ept the nomination, but whether they are prepared to get out ana work for it is a question. Mr. Lacy is tho presi- dent of tho council, and hola over for an- other vear, but it i3 understood that he could hardly muster up the courage 1o say no if the mayoralty was offered hm. The indications are that it will narrow down to a fight between Wadsworth and Macrae, with Lacy as a dark horse in the background ready to take advantage of any favorable development. The republicans have made no move as yet, and the only candidate mentioned is Leonard Everett, aldecman from the Fourth ward.

More interest is manifested in rogard to the now members of the council than any other ofice. With five uldermen to elect thero is ample opportunity for guessing. It is, now- ever, generally conceded that Alderman Waterman of tho First ward will not bo his own successor, and Robert Rain, o retiring member of the school board, is spoken of as an available piece of timber’ with which to replace him, The opinion is expressed by many that Alderman Bellinger will succeed himself as ulderman from the Second ward and, as.it i3 known that he1s willing to be returned, it may be sot down as a settled fact that ho will make his opponent do some lively hustl- ing, It is a matter of speculation who will suc- ceed J. . Weaver as alderman-at-large. Ho declares that he has had enough of it; in fact, that he cannot afford to remain in’ the council as he is a contructor and his oftic prevents his bidding on any city work. Likewise, it is dificult to hazard o guess as 1o who will bo sent i from either ot the new wards, the Rifth and Sixth, They will not become separate wards until the st of February, and the available timber in_each 18 as much u wystery as is their political complexion, s Hereafter tho dining room of the New Pa- cific will be ran on semi-Buropean plan, Al meals served at 25 cents each, s feteliedenniintdly Shoes.

The justico held that a school teacher when hired to teach is warranted 1n organizing some sys- tem of school work and is vested with au- thority for carrying it out. The exact plan adopted lies iu the discretion of the teacher, who has power to punish suitably for viola- tions of the rules. The only question wus, therefore, whether the punishment was out. of proportion to the offense committed by the youthful Clatterbuck. Tne evidence showed that the urchin was very iusubordicate and the jury decided that he got no more than he deserved, 3 “The case of assault and battery brought against an elder Clatterbuck by Sylvester was to have been heard Saturday, but a change of venue was taken to Justice Schurz and the case was continued.

Tie Ever Interesting Subject Pre- sented in a New Lighr, It was to make certain investigations into the statistics of divorce which have Just been uom{uilud b‘y the department of labor, that Prof. Felix Adler came to ‘Washington last week, says the Post of that city, The distinguished teacher of ethical culture is no less distinguished &8 & writer upon social economies. The startling Presentation of figures me in Colonel Carroll B. Wright's repoi hasinterested Professor Adler greatl, and he speaks in the warmest terms the character and valuo of the work accomplhished, “I have not the report hefore me,” said he to a Post reporter, “‘and my uot be absolutely accurato in my stat ment of the figures. But there is food for thoughtin the report. America has A most unenviable reputation at home and abroad on account of the number of divorces which are granted. Within thoe last twenty years 828,000 divorces have been granted in America. What does it mean? In all Europe, with many times the population, the divorces have not aggregated one-tenth that number in the same Are wo more immoral than ? 18 the marr'age tie looser? Are more lax? What are tho reasons? are tho questions which a ng nsked, “‘Here areafew of the deductions which [ make. The laws aro no more lax in this country than in Eurove, Tn the new states of the west, particularly ;n Iilinois, the great divorce state, the aws Austr * instance, where divorces are quite ra The _same is true all over the country. or is thero v laxity in the execution of the Over 420,000 applications for divor were entered in twenty years, yot 30 per eent. were rejected. Doos this look liko laxity? Not utall. “What'next? About 75 per cent of all aivorces have been granted to women. That proves that American women are not offenders to a marked tent, There were no divorees in nce before the revolution, but mor- ality in France wasat a low ebb. On the contrary, the large number of di- vorces in Amorica goes to show th periorsensitivenessof American women. An American woman will not tolerate for a day offenses which a European wife calmly, not to say indifferently, oendures. American women are extreme- y sensitive of violations of the mar- © vow. They will not endure per- sonal violence, yet wifo beating was permissible under the English common aw, and among the lower classes of Great Britain is a very common offense, taken in a matter of course way. By far the greater number of di- yorees from any one cause have been for desertion, mainly on the part of the husband. These add up, I believe, some 140,000, Desertion is largely due to the migrating habit of our population, not only from state to state, but from place to place in a city. We are becoming largely a nation of tenants. The vast majority of town and city dwellers rent the houses in which they live. The land question lies at the root of this, As a result the people have no fixed homes. You seldom hear of a man deserting his wife if they are living in a home of their own. He has something to tie to. It is tenant husband who deserts his wifo. *T'he remedy for the dificulty lies deep. 1 have never been able to sce in legislation a panacoa for ali social troubles. The remedy must come first by the creation of a correct sentiment. Laws follow public sentiment. Laws which ave against publie sentiment are s inoperative in free rovernments may think it a far call, the root of the whole difficulty v ahlism. The idea which Rosseau formu- lated, that each human bding is an en- tirely free agent, has swung nearly to the end of its reach. It has yet a little further to go,and then it will swing back. It destroyed the old feud- alistic idea, it destroyed belief | in the divine vright "of kings, and the obligation of the subject to a personal sovereign. But it obscured truths as well as destroyed false ideas. “*It should never be forgotten thut we do not come into the world of our own wills, but regardless of our wills. We are continually bound down, hampered, restricted by the equal rights of others. The state is not an aggregation of indi- viduals. It is the individual who is the fragmentary particle of the state. His rights are subordinate to the rights of all. If he has inalienable rights, he likewise has inalienable duties. When this conception of the position of the individual obtains and is generally accepted socinl reforms now out of reach will be at band.” R “THE BLOOME® COSTUME.” Et'zibeith Cady Stanton kirst Wore and latroduced It The following letter from Mrs. Amelia Bloomer, whose name became world- famous years ago in connection with what was known as the *‘Bloomer cos- tume,” is printed 1o the January Ladies’ Home Journal, and hasa keen degroe of interest in that Mrs. Bloomer de- nies the credit of introducing tho cos- tumo in America. This letter, recently written, is now produced in print for the first time: COUNCIL BLUFFS, In.—My Dear Sir: I bardly know how to write about the costume associated with my name. But I was not its inventor or originator as is g0 generally believed, In March, 1851, Elizabeth Smith Mil- lar, daughter of Hon. Gerritt Smith of Peterboro, N. Y., visited her cousin, Elizabeth Cady Stanton, at Sonecn Falls, N. Y., which was then my home and where I was publishing **The Lily,’, and where Mrs. Stanton also resided. Mrs, Miiler came to us in a short siirt and full Turkish trousers, a style of dress she had been wearing some two months. f The matter of woman’s dress having buen,i st previously discussed in **The Lily,” Mrs, Miller's appearanco led Mrs, Stanton to at ouce adops the style, and I very soon followed, l\irs. Stapton introducing v to the Seneca Falls public two or three days in advance of me, In the next number of my paper followin my adoption of the dress (April, 1851), I wrote an article annouacing to my vreaders that I had donned the style to which their attention had been called in previous numbers The New York Tribune noticed my article, and made it knowa to its thou- sands of readers that I had donned a short skirt and trousers, and from this it went from paper to paper through- out this and other countres. I soon found myself noticed and pictured in many papers, at home and abroad. I was praised and censured, glorified and ridiculed, until I stood in amazement at the furor I had wrought b,( my pen while sitting quietly in my little office at home attonding to my duties, Suflice it that it was the press at large that got up ail the excitement and that named the dress. I never named it the “Bloomer costume.” With me it was always the short dress and trousers, It consisted of a skirt shorteped to a few inches below the knees and the substi- tution of trousers made of the same ma- terial as the dress, In other respects the dress was the same as worn by all women, At the outset the trousers were full and baggy, but we improved upon them by making them narrower and gathered at the unkle, and finally by making them eutlroll\;' plain and straight, fulling to the shoe like the trousers of men. To some extent, I think the style was adopted abroad,but not largely, nor, for that matter, at home. There were in- dividuals here and there who gladly threw off the burden of heayy skirvts and adopted the short ounes, but soon both press and pe-ple turned upon it their ridicule and censure, and women had not_the stewkgth of principle to withstand the <-ruhi\‘¥m. and so returned 1o their deageicg skirts, For myself, 1 wore the short @rds and no others, at home and overy®hdvo, for six or seven year long after Mrs. Stanton, Lney Stone, and ashers had abandoncd one wore the dress several years, traveled and Jectured in it, and was marcied in it T think. None of us ever lectured on the dress question, or in any way tntrodiced it into our lec- turcs. We only it bocause wo found it comfortable, convenient, safe and tidy—with o) thought of intro- ducing a fashion, but with the wish that every woman would throw off the bur- den of clothes that was dragging her life out, This dress question has been of sec ondary importance with mo, and it i not for it that I wish to bo remembered. 8 you will see from what I have writ- 1above, a wrong impression prevails in regard to my part in that matter. I not its originator. I adopted the yle and made it known to the public. The press did the rest. [ am not lecturing at all these last few years, A throat difficulty and my seventy years have compellod me to retire from active participation in works for the advancement of woman, Respectfully yours, AMELIA BLOOMER. e gtk Watch the box, buy the genuine Red Cross Cough Drops, 5 cenls per box. —_—— Gladstone’s Love for Reading. ‘When Mr. Gladstone tires of politics he turns to literature, and no man in fhe three kingdoms has a wider range of hooks to select from, for, just at pres- ent, or rather since the day that ho revicwad Mrs, Humphrey Ward's “Robert Elsmere,” and ‘gave that much-discussod book an impotus that it would not have obtained oth: y au- thors, young and old, and publishers, good and bad, have flooded the *Grand Old Man” with literature of ull kinds, writes Bdward W. Bok in _the Ladies’ Home Journal., It is hardly necessary to point out the value of the review that Mr. Gladstone gave Mrs. Ward’s bpok, from o commercial point of view. A great many people in England still in- sist that itisa vastly over-rated book, and that if it had not been for the at- tention which Mr. Gladstone paid it, it would have run its slow length of a few thousand copies, and died as many better or worse books do ev twelvemonth. Be that as it may, it is sufficient for Mr. Gladstone to lend his name to any literary publieation to give it prominence that i could not other- wise obtain, and h i library table is crowded with books on religion, on state-craft, philosophy and romar'ce, sent by authors and publishers. Mr. Gladstone is, in every respect, a great reader. He spends more time now in reading thaw he did twenty-five years ugo. Anything and everything that comes to himis grist to his mill. He doesn’t mind wading through chap- er after chapter if he orly finds a kea- nel ot truth or a nugeet of pure gold at the end. Ho is particularly fond of books of travel and polities, and there is no country thatinterests himso much as America, its peaple and its politi- cians. A great deal of his reading is done as a matter. of duty, or work, if you please, and after hé has finished that and is so thoronghly tired out that most men who take.to the woods or to a sick room, the great statesman turns to his Latin or Greek for repose. 1f there is one subject dear to his heart, after politics and stateeraft, it is roligion. He has no. favorité aythors; he finds good in all schools. and he says indeed it must be a very poor writer who can’t find something to say that will interest even the busiest of men, and the most learned. He has the faculty of skim- ming through a book and getting the salient points in a few hours. To Americans it will be.of interest to know that Mr. Gladstone receives a large number of American newspapers and magazines, and that he is very well informed on all current Ameri ics, He keeps soveral sec os bus;, and when he finds a striking point in o book or newspaper he turns down the page or marks it to be clipped by his daughter, Miss Helen Gladstone, or his wile, or one of his secrotaries, and, strange to say, he can turn to it years afterwards at a moment’s notice, He has a wonderful memory, too, and knows a great deal more of American men of letters than most people would suppose. He is an intense admirver of James Russell Lowell and Bret Harte. He has a magnificent library of exceed- ing value, and is constuntly adding to i He is one of the few great men of this world who is not ashamed to be seen alone in the street, and he often spends an hour or 50 in some old book- B s shop on the Strand or in Corn- hill. He is the owner of many rare and valuable works, and whenever there 1s an important book sale, either his son Herbert, or one of the scerctaries, is present to bid in any valuable or rare volume that may be offered. He has spent a fortune on his library, and when aunoyed by the cares of political lifo, always finds rest and contentment there. —_— Insist on having the genuine Red Cross Cough Drops, 5 cts a box. Sold everywhere, — - The Allahabad papers describe a curious search for treasure belioved to be buried in the Alford park, says the Japan Mail, It seems that some years belore the mutiny the then king of Delhi resigned his appointment and brought his family and werldly posses- sions to Alishabad, where he built a large house and underground chamber to keep his jewels and treasure., This latter is said to have included a lakh of gold mohurs, of the kind now valued av 28 vupes each, Shortly before the mutiny he died,: and, during When order was restored a line of bacracks was constructed by order of Lord Canning onthe site of the village in which the eX-premier's house was built, and the eXislence of the under- ground chamber ‘ng forgotten by all excflgt some relalives who, on trying to reach it on one oceasion, were 8o stung by hornets which they had disturbed that it was taken. &s a sign that it was God’s will thst the treasure should be reserved for i future generation. In the course of timlé the barracks were also demolished ‘und the present park laid out. o Recently the existence of the treas- ure was brouglhit "to the attention of Captain Hamiltori, an old resident of Allahabad, who had helped to prepare the site for the barracks. He obtained as much information as could be got from the existing relatives and obtained from the collector permission 1o dig and @ police escort. On May 22 about sixty coolies were set to work and they soon came upon some masonry, bub, un- fortunately, a ynun‘é cobra was un- earthed just then, and the men refused to work ‘any more, believing that the treasure was guarded by cobras, and that it was an act of sacrilege to dig for it. The excavations, however, were going on when the mail left., e r—— Have you tried McClurg's Pastry Wafer Sodas?
