The city council met as a boara of hoalth when the members first assembled last even- g County Supervisor Graham appoared before the board in regard to employing Drs. Macran and Thomas to take care of any cases of smallpox should they occur, ‘Uhe plan ad- vised was to have the work done by con- tract, and under control of the board of suporvisors, they assuming care of such cases and paying in full for the same. A resolition endoraing the action of the board of supervisors was passed unanimously. (The council then met in regular session, with the mayor and all thealdermen but Everett present. ‘e minutes of the previous meeting were read and, uftera few corrections, were ap- proved. The reading of the minutcs provoked con- siderabie discussion. The action of the coun- cil in instructing the city attorney to confess judgment in the sum of 25 for Josinh Dan- forth's claim for damages on I[ndian creck brought Alderman Lacy tohis feet. He was obposed to confessing judement in these cases, and thought they should be allowed to 40 to trial and bo decided on their merits in court, City Attorney Holmes replied that it was useless to go into court for the purpose of bewng defeated, as these claims were just. “The city solicitor has no business to inter- fere in the matter,” declared Alderman Lacy. *‘T'ie money don't come out of his pocket, and bo is hore to ight case when the council tells him to." 1 want to say a little sowething to that,” declared Holme “The council has no right to order me to butt my heuad agaiust a brick wall.

Before the council took up the matter of atlowing biils Alderman Lacy stated that he wanted to relieve himself of a few thoughts that had galled him more or less, Said he: “1 want to know why it is that the council _pays no sttention to my pro- tests ugainst allowing certain bills? When the biils were considered at tho meet- ing just after tho first of the month I voted ust allowing those of Mr. Beardsley for vitriol, and Alderman Waterman for repairs. 1 want it understood that 1 am not vbjecting to these Dbills for buncombe, nor for my health, 1 had a resson for doing it, yet the council met the next morning and rushed them through, The mayor had fizures show- ing that we were paying nearly twice as much for vitriol as Dubuquoe, although both cities secured their supply from the Omaha smelting works. T objected to Mr. Water- man's biil because he had no business to do the work, and because I understood that some of the charges were exorbitant. Be- fore the matter was investizated, or without showing me the courtesy to pay any atien- tion to the matter, the bill was “hurried through in my absence. 1f.this custom is to vrevail I waat to know it, for if it is there inl no use in auy alderman objecting to a i Several of the aldermen told why they had done thusly and so, but the reason for al- lowing the bills was not apparent, and the breoze blew over. “The alectric light company was instructed to start the street lights half an hour later and shut them off half an hour later thun the scheduio time for Chicago street light- ing.

Lt el The City Hall Discossion, The new city hall question was the subject of general discussion at the session of the real ‘estate exchauge yesterday morning. Opinion scemed to be very much divided, somo being strongly in favor of issuing the bonda, and others just as earnestly opposed toit. The advocates of the new building were George Metealf, S, H. Foster, J. B. Van Patton et al, while opposed to it were Mes: William Siedentopf, Wood, Weiss, Chamberlain and others. President Judd, A, B, Walker and C. M. Ross occupied com- fortable positions on the fe Some of the speakers favored the proposition condi- tionally, hinging their approbation on the location, and on the cost, some declaring that the 150,000 asked for should be reduced to #100,000, or less. The sentiment in favor of the new building sagms to be growing, and some who at first thought 81%0,000 too much ure 00w favoring 1t, mlthough the prevailing opiuion thus far scems to- favor a smaller sum. It is urged that the city needs the pro- posed building, but that ‘it does not as much room as is furgished in the county and gov- ernment buildings, It is stated that either of these structures could now be erected for £160,000, and that balf thut sum would put up as large a building as is neeaed for a city bail. All who want it built, want it finely finished ana five proof, but they believe in saviog on the same. Tho question s one that will be vieorously discussed, both pro and con, in the next six weeks.

ST Ty SHAKING HANDS, The Latest English Style Adopted by New York Anglomaniacs. The newest fashion of shaking hands is absurd, says the Brooklyn Eagle, but it has been adopted, and it will be some yeurs before society is emancipatod from its grotesque influence. The old fashion of shaking hands was good enough and smple enough, but the uni- versal desire for achange has abolished it. . Formerly when two people met’] thoir arms swung forward naturally, their hands met and their arms dropped back into place. The mere act of shak- ing hands was as natural as that of tak- ing a seat or lifting a book. It 1s far different now. The whole ceremony is instinct with deep thought and caveful elaboration. A man and woman-meet and both burst into a smile of welcome. Then the wéman swings her right arm, which is perfectly rigid, straight out from the shoulder and directly in front of her. When the hand has reached the height of her chin she holds it there, with the thumb toward the face, and the palm turned slightly outward. The man who has been approaching her gently takes hold of the hand as one might grasp the rungof a ladder. Ho bows slightly asthough intending 1o impress a kiss upon the lady’s hand, and then lets go abruptly and drops his hand to his side. Then the woman drops her stiffened arm and the cere- mony is over. This is English, It first appeared in Punch abount six years ago and it has since then been exten- sively copied in_British society. Its full adoption 1n New York occurred at the McAllister ball, where the society ladies received the 1,400 guests 1n pre- cisely this fushion during the evening. = - > The Great Rock island Roate, In changing time ou Sunday, Nov. 17, the Chicago, Rock Island & Pacific Ry. haye considered every point of in- terest to the Omaha traveling public. 1f you are going to Des Moines, Chicago or any point east, our solid vestibule Jimited train is just what you want.

In contrast with the demonstrative philanthropy of the day consider the example of the cat, says the London Saturday Review. The cat has retenue. He nas his hours of sportiveness, as Montague obsersed. “Thus freely speaketh Montague ahout cats,” says Izank Walton, He will uot distrub himself at any other moments for any- body. The blandishment of strangers he neither shuns nor secks—he endures them.

He lives *‘alone, aloft, gublime,” in a wise passivencss, If you tread on a dog's tall by accident he utters ‘*‘the lyric ery” and then dissolves in the elegies of apology. The cat suffers and is silent or firmly avplies his claws with vemurk. He is excessively proud, and when is made the subject of conversa- tion will cast one glance of scorn and. leave the room in which personalities are bandied, He disdains nccomplish- ments, and it is a fact that cats ave los- ing the art of purring.

A couple of weeks ago a lot of hunters thought they had got rid of the unnat- ural apparition when they ignomin- ously murdered an innocent Holstein calf that chanced to be prowling around in the grass. DBut contrary to their ex pectations, this ghost, like Banguo will not down. Theo latest reports come to us dircet from the agent at Davey, who promises 10 keop the world posted on the great and only Davey ghost. He writes: Lditor Fremont Tribune: In the vi- cinity of Davey, Neb,, much excitement has been prevailing during the past four or five weeks about a ghost whose habitation and nightly wanderings are reported to be at a location about two or two and a half miles north of Davey. A posse was organized two or three times to lay in wait for the ghost and kill it but it seems to avoid them, and their hunts kave proven fruitless, but there is littlo doubt but that therc is one thare. Nathaniel Berry, a farmer, whose word is considered indisputable and his integrity hoyond question,came to town last Friday morning and stated that his threshing machine which has been in a shed back of the house and near the barn commenced humming in the night about 11 o’clock waking he and his wife, ,They could not im- agine the cause and were too much frightened to go out or attempt to sleep any more that night, as the machine continued to run until daylight. He further stated that his wife thought she saw Mr. Cook out in the shed early in the evening. Mr. Cook was Mr. Berry’s partner during the threshing season and owned one-half interest in the machine up to five weeks ago, when he died. Others have been confrouted by Mr, Cook on their way home afterdark, and they knowing he had died several weeks ago, cannot account for it, but believe the ghost is that of Mr. Cook. It appeared before the south-bound pas- senger, No. 48, last night, and with up- lifted hand and vointing finger was seen standing there ia the light of the approaching engine, sparks flying from the end of its finger and its eyes re- sembling two balls of fire. Engineer Nelson on engine No. 58 says that his fireman could not be induced to fire on the Lincoln vranch of the Fremont, Elkhorn and Missouri Vulley, as he was on the engine when Jack Burns, a brakeman’was killed av the Davey stock- yards two years ago. The fireman said 1t was Burns’ ghost pointing at him but as a number of persons have seen it re- cently say that it is undoubtedly Mr. Cook’s ghost. Mr. Berry has been compelled to move his threshing ma- chine, Another posse of well-armed men is being organized tonight and if their courage does not fail them more will be learned as to its identity. Doctor Krickbaum has just arrived, very much frightened. THe states that he met the ghost on the bridge near P, O. Donnell’ residence and it demanded him to stop, which he very reluctantly did. The ghost said to him, **You are censured for killing me, but you did all you could; I was called on to die and am back here again and will make the folks suffer who dealt with me so un- justly while I lived here.” The excite- ment is intense, * * * e An Absolute Cure.

Old clothing *may bo made to look neariy as good as new by pursuing the following plan, says the Philadelphia Record. Take, for instance, a shiny old coat, vest or pair of trousers of broadeloth, cassimere or diagonal. The scourer makes a strong worm ‘soapsud and plunges the garment intoit, sbuses it up and down, rubs the dirty places, if necessary puts it through a second suds, then rinses it through several waters and hangs it to dry on the line. When nearly dry he takes it in, rolls it up for an houyt or two, and then presses it. An eold cotton cloth is laid on the outside of'the coat and the iron passed over that until the wrinkles are out; but the iron is removed before the steam-ceases to rise from the goods, else they would be shiny, Wrinkles that are obstinate are yremoved by laying a wet cloth over''them and passing the iron over that, If any shiny places are seen they are treated as the wrinkles are; the iron is lifted while the full cloud of steam rises and brings the nap up with it. Good cloth will’ bear many washings and Jook better gvery time because of them, i = —————— Our druggists would not recommend Chamberlain’s eeugh remedy if they did not know it tohe perfectly reliuble.

It has been demonsteated that the beds nearest the walls in hospitals have the highest rate of movtality, they be- ing subject to the influnce of polluted air similar to the alcove of a bed room, The existence of bad ventilation around the corners and sides of rooms hasheen 0 well demonstrated that it has already given rise to the building of rotunda hospitals, where tho cucrent of air along the floor rises as it reaches the wall, effectually ventilating the whole. The first suggestion of this idea came from the dropping of a picce of paper near the rotunda, where it skimmed along the floor and rose as it reached the wall. In an ordinary room a simi- lar experiment with a pieco of thistle down will indicate the usual direction of the air current. i The Only One, The Chicago, Milwaukee & St. Paul Railway 1s the only line running solid vestibuled, electrie lighted and steam heated trains between Chicago, Coun- cil Bluffs and Omaha, = The berth reading lamp feature n the Pullman sleeping cars run on these lines if patented and cannot be used by other railway compnany.

No individual property was recognized exc and boats; all food was divid were not, a man who had been spocially successful one diy would eat as long as he could open his mouth,and as a raatter of fact, many of their diseases originate from excessive eating. They thought themselves very good and kind, Euro- peans very bad; and, though they sometimes stole from Fuopeans and sometimes killed each other in the heat of guarrel, they were, on the whole, honest and trustworthy. When a young man fails in love with a young woman he tales her by the hair and drags her to his hut. Of course the women there as elsewhere pretend mnot to tike 1t. They run away generally two or three times—if they are well educated. If they run_away more than three times the men do not like it, and cut the soles of their feet, thus compelling them to stay at home, when they become happy, ood and industrious wives, If, however, the men and wives find they do not suit each other, more especially when there are no children, they separ- ate without ceremony; and cases have been known of men and women having been married six or eight times. But when children are born more solid re- lations are established. They are very fond of their children, whom they never punish, to whom they never say a rude word, and who, nevertheless, are gener- ally 'quiet and well behaved. Little veneration, however, is shown to old age, although sons generally care for their parents; but, if the people are de- ficient in veneration, they are ex- tremely hospitable, Their power of fasting, or eating, is remarkable, and they love raw meat, fish, entrails, rot- ten flesh, but most of all the contents of the stomach of the reindecr, evidently because it consists largely ol vegetable matter, of which thoy get very little, He could not say that civilization and christianity introduced by the Danes nad done the Esquimaux any good. On the contrary. he feared toward the de- gradation of the Esquimaux, and he ht a time was coming when the ed Lsquimaux would disappear from the coasts, and Europeans, who were at present mere parvasites on the native people, would be obliged towith- draw from Greenland.

IHor hair was white as snow and her complexion a8 delicato and soft as a baby’s, She was always dressed in white and musses of white lace, Spanish tashion, were draped about her queenly head. Sitting in a high-backed chair with a great fan in her hand, she made a charming picture never to be forgotten. In featuresshe resembled her gifted brother and she had very much the same mind. She spent a great share of her life abroad and was versed in art and literature, She had a wonderfully spivitual nature and was a devout communicant in the Roman Catholie church. She leaves a daughter, Cecelia, who with Gabrielle Greeley, the only surviving member of Horace Greeley’s family, live now at Chappaqua. Miss Greeley’s life is given to good worksamong the poor and desti- tute. She is & woman of great force of character, us is evinced by her relusing to take a glass of champague urged upon her by her physician. ‘‘No,” she said,quietly, “not if it were to save my ‘ife, signed the pledge with my worst ine- briate, and I cannot break it.” 1In the family tomb, where Mrs, Cloveland was lwid to rest, lie the bodies of the greut PROFESSIONAL pIRECTORY - timntos Brown Building, Coucil Blufis, [owa.

Ida Greeley married Colonel Nicholas Smith, who is said to be the handsomest man in the United States, Three children were horn of this union, After the mother’s death none of hor relutives were al- lowed to see these children, But they wore visiting a lady in New York. who one day took' them in her carriage to the Coleman house and sent them up stairs with their norse to their great aunt’s room. 1’oor Mrs, Cleveland en- joyed these littlo creatures for an hour or so, never telling thom who she was or how she was velated tothem. *“We have a little brothe piped one of theso sweet little girls: “his name is Horace Greeley Smith HAlas!? id Murs, Cleveland in speaking of the scene to an intimate friend, *‘how little those dear little children knew how near I was to the namesnke of their littlo brother.” Doubtless in years to come those children will remember and speak with tears of the beavtiful old lady they saw—the sccond wother of their own dead mother.

The objects of peace are not all that leather fizures in, for 1t is to leather t we owe the introduction of light artillery. Leathor cannon have been actually tried on the battlefield, and, what is more, turned the tide of one of the greatest battles of modern times. The inventor of leath- ern artillery was a certain Colonel Rob- ert Scott, a Scotchman in the service of Charles L. of England. “He constructed guns of hardened leather and experimentalily tried them. Tho result was that they were pro- nounced superior to guns made of brass oriron. The colonel, however, did not live long enough to enjoy the greatest teiumph of his invention. He died 1n 1631, and_a monument erected to his memory J have seen in n churchyard in London. This monument represents him as an armor-clad, fierco-looking man, wearing a heavy mustache and a pointed beard.” ~In the v year of the colonel’s death the effectiveness of his leathern artiller proved on the mem- ¢, where, Septem- Adolphus achieved ver the imperial- ists under General Till Tt is saad that it was owing to the invention of Colo- nel Scoty that the victory was obtained. The guns were found to be so easily carried that a small battery could fly from one part of the fleld to another, and thus artillery be brought to bear when most needed, a thing impossible to the heavy cannon of that period. Certain it is tbat leathern artillory was used in' this great battle by Adolphus, though it is equally certain that the guns were never used afterward. The reason of that, however, was, that the leather guns having demonstrated the value of light artillery, n way was dis- covered of making the metal guns lighter, and the great durability of the latter gave them the superiority. As used in the battle of Leipsic the leather gun consisted of a copper tube of the thickness of a parchment, strengthened by plates of iron running parallel with the length of the gun, bound with iron bands. The tube was then bound with several coatings of cord, with a cement of mastic between each coating, and the whole inclosed in a case of tough leather. The weight of the gun was such that two men could easily carry it. In the year of 1790 a snuff hox manu- fucturer named Richmond invented a leather cannon which was tried under inspection at Woolwich, but it did not prove as successful as some of the fore- runners. The celebrated Peter Pindar satirized the affair 1n these line: Richmond, watchful of the state's salvation, SprinkLng his ravelins o’er the natioi, Now buyiug leatlier boxes by tons, Improving thus the nature of great guns— Guns blest with doublo natures, mild and rough— give a broadside or a pinch of snuff, The great Napolecon was not above using leather as a menns of defunse. He put the leather cuirass upon twelve regiments of his colobrated cavalry. ———— For Biliousness, tUse Horsford’s Acid Phosphate, Dr. W. B. Gillies, Winnipeg, Manitoba, says: *'I have used it in a typical rase of in- digestion with biliousness, and found in to be, without exceptlon, the best thing I over used in such cases.” ovable ber7, 163 his splendid vi —— A DILEMMA, The Small Boy’s Ingenious Way of' Getting Out of it, It was at the closa of a peaceful Sun- day,says the New York Sun, thav a fond father laid down his paper for the fifteenth time to separato his two cher- ubic sons and prevent their tearing each other’s eyes out. Then, with an oloquence of lunfinugo and a fervor of feeling that would have wrung repent- ant tears from a Bowery tough, he talked to them of their misdeeds, when he was interrupted by each youthful scion declaring enthusiastically that the other fellew struck the first blow, Here was another iniquity, whose enormity overshadowed the first, for one boy must be telling an untruth, and another dissertation on lying followed that would have melted the obelisk de- spite its parafine coating., Then think- ang he had (qurly impressed them and wrought sufficiently upon their inno- cent, sensitive natuves, he appealed to them to tell him what to do about it, whereupon thoe younger, aged seven, said cheerfully: *'I’ll tell you what to do, papa. You just take a 10-cent piece and shake it up in your hand this way, throw it down on the table, and if it comes heads I told the lie, If it’s tails the other. fel- low ‘told it, and if you an't satisfed with that, why, you can just call it that I told it anyway and never mind.” And the other boy nounchaiautly remarked: ‘I told you it was him all the time,” asthe lecture was brought to an abrupt ter- mination Children Cry for Pitcher's Castoria.
