BOSTON STORE, Fotheringlam, Whitelaw & Co., Council Bluffs, Towa. A Murdercus Blacksmith, ‘The spectacle of a man covered with blood and handeuffed being whirled rapidly through the streets in the police patrol wagon at- tracted a good deal of attention last evening, The fellow was arrested by Officer Doyle in Lewis' stable, the old strect car barn on Broadway, where he had taken refuge after having committed 8 murderous assault upon Mrs, William Bobning, who keeps a little grocery and provision store at 912 Broadway. Her assmlant gives the name of Harry Hoffer, and says ho is @ blacksmith from Des Molnes, Ia. He came to this city Wednosday afternoon looking for work and stopped at the North. western house. Tuestay evening, Mrs, Bohning says, he came into her grocery and purchased i box of sardines and some other edibles He asked for a knife to open the box und the woman handed him a large butcher knife. As soon as he got it in his possassion he flourished it in a menacing manner and walked out of tho store, taking it and his purchases with him withou't paying for them. Last evening he returned and wanted to get something more in the cold yictual line but was ustantly recognized by the woman and asked to pay for the stuff he had already taken, He rofused, and was work- ing his way around behind the counter whero butcher’s cleaver was lying. ~ The woman seized him and told her little daughter to run out and call a policeman, The fellow drew a knife and began to viciously slash tho woman, Four or five deep cuts were in- flicted upon the back of her left hand and several on the left side of her face, She held him for @ few seconds and screamed lustily for help, but before she could attract atten- tion the 'fellow broke away from her and escaped through the door. He ran across the street to the barn, and had scarcely gotten insido until Of- ficer Doyle's muscular haud was upon his shoulder. The patrol wagon was called and w was|ironed and taken tothe central station. hen arrested the bloody knife was still in his possession. He was locked up and a almrflo of assault with intent to do great bodily injury was placed against him, Ms. Bolning's wounds, while not. seripus, are numerous and painful, At the station Hoffer denled all knowledge of the crime and denied having been at the Bohning grocery on the nignt previous, He claimed that the woman’s injuries were re- celved by falling on the show case and break- r;fl the glass. ‘The sardine box and butcher fe were found beneath the window of his room at the Northwestern house and the show case was broken when it was put in last spring, so bis explanation of the affair is flatly contradicted. He was very drunk when arrested. 6 and 7e goods, ks and stripes drawe v vests and pants, regu- - — Gents’ underwear in great vnflcl( to suit all at Model Clothing Moesler, Mgr, at prices Co., H THE NEWS IN THE BLUFFS. Justioes Will Not Have 8o Muoh Revenue “from Nebraska Hereaftor, FEES ALREADY SENSIBLY DEOREASED. Who Shall Care for the Pauper Sick— An Alleged “Ofiiclal Letter Box' W. Paul Losing His Sand ~Minor Meution, There was a little attention attracted by the t that the contest among the candi- dates for justices of the peace and their friends was a little more bitter and spirited than even the great fight for congressman in this exty during the late election. Eacn of the six candidates had their friends at work early and late, and they worked hard and earnestly, When the ballots we counted the effects of this fight were shown in the re- markable variation in the number of ballots cast for the various candidates, some running far ahead of their ticket and others falling sadly behind. It was presumed that the fight was due to the anxiety of the candidales to get some pretty fat offices, forit was generally understood that the justices’ docketsin Coun- cil Bluffs showed frequent entries of large and fat fees which made them about the best offices in the county, However this may have been in the past, it will not be so in t future, forone very important source of in- come has been lopped off by the Nebraska law prohibiting the transferof accounts to Towa collecto ¢ garnishee purposes, The law bas been in operation for some time, but it is only within the last two iouths that it nhas been sensibly felt in the Council Bluffs justices oflices Up to September last the average number of gurnishment brought into these courts by which the Nebraska creditors who cinched their delinquents amounted to twenty in Justice Barnctt's court and about the the same in the tribunals presided over by Schurz and Hendricks, Some months this average would be lavgely cxceeded, and it n Tell short of that number. Tho aver. age - amount of justice’s and consta fees in each case would be about This would give a general aver- age total of & per month ized alone from this class of business by each of the co justices, or $450 a month puid by the ka debtors as clear gain to the Council s Justi and constables. The Nebraska law has cut this down to a remarkableextent, Last month Barnett only had two of these foreign garnishment cases, and the other jus- tices had about-the sawe number, This sudden and permanent elimination of from £ to §7 a day net cash profits has made the justices’ offices not neariy so profitable and’ desirable as they . used to be, and the successful eandidates who have carried on such a spivited campaign will not reap the harvests anticipated, However, the fees for the regular business make the offices quite profitable aud & handsome living for the in- cumbents, The overthrow of the foreign garnisment business in this city something that 18 not to be very much regretted, fov it has been the means of wflicting great and lasting hard- ships upon many worthy men while justly compelling others to pay their bills, 16 was chiefl; used by ~ Nebraska collectors against Union Pacific and Burliugton rail- way employes, and whether the debt was just or not they have ground the money from them and caused them the additional hard- ship of losing their places by the operation of tho railway company’s rules requiring the discharge of men whose creditors garnishee Tho local justices have not exceeded their functional limits, but the Ne- braska creditors and collectors have used thew to the fullest and often to the cruelest extent, and while they have made a few dol- lars from the business good men and the city itself have been made to suffer. ———— The residence of James McNaughton, 016 8d ave., will be rented furnished for the Winter cheap to a desirable party.

There was perhaps not a city, hamlet or & village in all the broad land where the little whito ballots with their bold lettering *“for? or *‘against’ were not fluttering in the breezo and being dropped by fair and horney hands into the bullot boxes, While tho election was general not everybody was cntitled to a vots, It was ageneral election held by the members of the Methodist church upon a proposition brought before the last general conference of the church held in New York city in May,and 0se over the application of two women from Nebraska to_seals inthe conference of lay delegates. They wero regularly appointed oy the local couference and presented their credentials in duo form, but their applicati was an innovation, and'the matter had to bo settled by a general vote of the delegates of the conference. A somewhat exciting sceno took place, and the cause of the ladies was defended and assailed by eloquent tongues, An offort was made to have them admitted on a point of law but it was finally de- feated and tho members of tho con- forenco settled tho matter for all time being by balioting. The result was the defeat of the ladies and they wero d admission as delegates, The nction was urged as being contrary to the the church times, and it was eviden would be a constantly recurring problem. was believed the fadies in the church all over the land would not submit to the rul- ing, and the general conference would bo obliged to settle the question of admitting delegates at every meeting, A vesolution was finally presented providing for a general clection at which all members of the church over twenty-one years of age and in good standing should be entitled to a voto upon the proposition, “Shall women be ad- mitted as lay delogates to the electoral and general confercuces of the Methodist church?” The resolution provided that, the enaction should be held in every church in the United States, and that there should be the freest possiole expression of the desire of the ladics themselves, the male members and the ministers. The resolution carried and the general clection yesterday was the result, The balloting by the members of the First Methodist_church was held in tho Masonic temple. The polls were open at 1 o'clock. 1t was the most quiet and_orderly election ever held in the city. The ladies, who were the interested parties, did not turn out and clectioneer like the men do. They did not remain around tho hall long enough after voting to get acquainted with the gentlemen who have been curtailing their privileges for all the years of the past. "Thera was 1o coffee_booths, refreshments or any effort of any kind made to influence voters. One cruel provision of the resolu- tion under which the election was held was that which denied the young ladies who were not twenty-one the right to vote, The election was had under the super- vision of a committee consisting of Mrs, L. W. Tulleys, Rey. Dr. T. McStuart, the new pastor, and Mr. H. MeAvthur. Printed ballots were used of which the following is a copy: ‘““ior tho Admission of Women as Lay Delogates. "Tho polls closed at 6:30 sharp last evening, and although there are 750 members of the church who were entitled to vote. only sixty of them took the trouble to cast their ballots. Of this number fifty-nine dropped an affirm- ative ballot into the pasteboard box that stood in front of the committee on u litile table. Ono_person only had the courage w cast a negative vote, and that person’s name was charitably withheld from the reporters, The election in the other Methodist churches was held last evening. i bt J.

The county board of supervisors yesterday considered the matter of caving for the sick and infirm paupers. There being no poos house or county hospital, it has been neces- for some time to provide for them at the hospitals. The Sisters of Mevcy at St. Ber- nards hospital arc well propared to cave for such cases, and the Woman's Christian us- sociation hospital is also provided with the necessary means. ‘Lhere have been patients at botb hospitals for whom the county had to pay. Yosterday the board decided to entor into a contract with the sisters of St. Her- nard's hospital for caring for all the sick and infirm who were paupers, the price to be 8 a week for the sick and 82 for the aged and in- firm, The contract was to be for three year: The women connected with the other ho pital were preparing to make a somewhat similar proposal to the board, but had de- layed in appearing, thinking that there was plenty of time, as the board would be in ses- sion all the week. They were surprised when they learned that the board had alveady decided to give all such cases to the other hospital. While there is no feeling of rivalry or desire to pull against an iustitation on- gaged in the same line of charitable work, vet they felt that whatever public money was pakd out for cases of ueed, it should be divided somewhat equita- bly. At the womews hospital there had been numerous charity cases sent there by the county, for whichonly § a week had been allowed, this pittance covering the ex- pense of care and treatment, even in cases of seyere illness, T'he ladies hurriedly gath- ered their chief officials, and late inthe after- noon appeared before the county boark. They ontorod n protost tialnst the board. entoring into the proposed contract, and offered to care for the county's sick at $4+ a week, a dol- lar a weck less than the sum proposed for the Sisters. The board concluded to deliberate alittle further before rushing wuto the con- tract, Both hospitals merit all the help and en- couragement which private citizens and pub- lic oMcials can give thew, The care of the insane of the county has already been given to St. Bernard's hospital, It seems that in fairness the other hospital should not be ig- nored altogether, The women who have it in charge have undertaken to llft a heavy financial load and are doing a large amount, of work without any financial reward, In this respeet it is simlarly situated to St. Bernard's hospital, which is also under a finan-ial strain, 1tis said that some of the property owners iu the vicinity af the W, C. "A. hospital ave incensed at the location of the hospital in their vicinity, and that this mfluence had been brought to bear indirectly upon the board to induce it to avoid giving the hospi- tal any aid. It seems that this can hardly be the case, for s much more fierce and open opposition has been manifested against the location of St. Bernard’s hospital, especially in rogard to the keeping of the insane there.

A very ingeniously worded circular was belug distributed among the residences of the city yesterday in regard to providing lock boxes for the reception of mail matter, The flaming headline, *'Public Notice Concerning Postal Laws and Regulations,” and the gen- eral wording of the cireular would naturally impress the caveless reader that the post- office department was thus urging citizens, it not requiring theli, fo provide themselves with the particular, box, with which *‘author- ized parties will cail.on you, and will sell and put up for you at u trifie above of mani- ncture, which will be &L name of the manufacturcy is not given, ~mor any other way of identifyin the box but the circular is so worded "and printed as to camy the impression that it is the “official” box.” Tnquity of Postmaster Treynor led to no enlightbnment. Ho said he knew nothing about it. and had received no notice of any box being declared official. He did not kiow even whether the box thus advertised was a gaod one or not, or whether it was cheap or dear, It seoms that the scheme is an ingenious one to_advertiso and sell some private box. Citizens are therefore left to exercise their own judgment the same a8 in purchasing any other commodity, and should not be misled by thinking itis the only box in the market, aud the one the pur- chase of wiich 15 urged by the postofiice of- ficials, The postofiice department some time ago advertised for the cheapest and best dev for a box of this kind, A large number have been presented in this competition, and when adecision is reachied the box thus approved will doubtless be put on the market, and the public will be duly informed, It is generally expected that this competition will bring out some form of u box which will be much cheaper, if not better, than those already in the market. Many are delaying purchasing any box until this decision is reached. This miy make the salo of other good boxes a lit- tle slow, and lead manufacturers to attempt to crowd sales before the new box appears, It is possible that the trade name of the box thus'sought to bo sold is called “‘ofticial,” the same asit might be called “safety™ or ‘fidelity” box, but beyond this Postmaster ‘Treynor knows of no reason for ealling it ofil- cial, for were it 5o Le would hase received due’ notice, —— Dr. Seyb: Res.

Losing His Sand. John W. Paulof Omaha is not losing his faith in the future of Council Bluffs, but for some time past he has becn losing his sand, and losing it at such a rate that ithas becomo a serious matter with him. It is not tho “sand” thatis a common western pseudonym for courage, but it is the sand that Mr, Paul obtained when he acquired titlo to a lare and valuablo lot of real estatoin this city, especially on some tracts of land lying on the river northwest of thecity. There are some fine sand banks there and they are of easy access viaa well traveled road. The land i3 not fenced, but it is certainly private prop- erty. For a long time past Council Blufts contractors have been hauling sand from this point, and in fair weacher during the building season, which lasts about all the year here, there have been on an average of about fifty londs of sand hauled from Mr. Pauls cach day. The scarcely a building in the city that has not some of this sand init. Contractors and private in- dividuals have zone there and taken it with- out money ana without price, but receutly Mr. Paul has concluded that if it _is worth hauling it is worth paying for,and he has taken steps to assert lis propr i The stops were taken yesterday when his agent, J. 15, Hunt of this city, fiied an infor- mation in Justice Schurs court chargiug Martin Williams and Jawmes Hughes with trespass. They have been hauling sund from the place and Paul concluded that they would do as well as anybody to make an example of. They were arrésted and taken before the justice yesterday afternoon but before the case was tuken up or definitely set for trial they took a change of venue to Justice Bar- nett. The case will be heard some time next week, provided there is any further prosecution. It is understood that Mr. Paul does not desire to prosecate, but only to prevent tlie wholesale appropris tiod of his land, which is constantly becom- ing more valuable as building in the two cities progresses, On the other hand, the men ar- rested are not willful trespassers. Ahey were only following a weneral movement ~ when they took the sand. It is probable there will be 1o further prosecutions and o further at- tempts to huul Mr. Paul’s sandbars away.

Gratifying Advances Made in the Ar- tistic Life of the City—Something Avoutthe Artists who Have Pic- tures on Exhibition. “APL) says a famous essayist, in defiuing the term, “is a priovi capacity of distin- guishing the beautiful from the ugly, the grand from the grotesque.” And the defini- tion is so concise that for all practical pur- poses it answers the inquiry which you hear on every hand, in the gallery of the Western Art association “What 1s arti” It is the “capacity of distinguishing the beautiful from the ugly.” Yet that capacity is modifled when one remembers that the work on the walls of the exhibition has been done, not by men and women f mous in the art world, but by amateurs mostly, who have had little opportunity to improve the native talents which assert themselves, willy nill; And the more credit to the exhibitors who have gone on intho work, laboring under many disadvantages, actuated by a common motive, the further- ment of the artistic life of the metropolis, A dozen years ago the castorn press, and particularly the ligerary jouraals, were nov seemingly 50 happ¥ save when they were ing something i agingly of western cul- ture, which comprehensively embraced all forms of literature and art. But those days havegone by, and 1t is the west that is giving toart centers the coming artists,in addition to advanced thinkers in all branches of educa- tional life, And it is just such assoclations as the one now holding its third annual exbibition in the Lafe building which are responsible for the higher ideals that are gradually turning westward the tide of enlightenment so graph- ically foretold by Bishop Burkley mn his tar of Empire.’ Tuken as a whole the exhibition is worthy of the greatest praise, Tt marks an era in our own small world from which must date the beginning of a more clevated order of things. Omne feature of the exhibition, howeyer, will attract attention and canse considernble speculation, and that is the smallness of the water color exhibit as compared with that of last year. The excellont display last season gave brilliant promise of a still ater ad- vance, but somehow or other the artists who were devoting all their time and attention to aquarelles last year are now found working in oils, and_the number of water colors has diminished per consequence, ““The practice of water color, however, and the public exhibitions and sales of wa colors are comparatively new in Amer and there aro a good many people who, while they acknowledge pthe beauty of the maintings and their desirabi as additions to collections of pictures often ask ‘ave the colors permanent? Can we de- vend upon their not fading or changing us we ean in our solid oil paintingsf’ ‘What a peculiar statewent. he Ameri- can people shy of the water color art because its productions may not be pevmanent? ‘Who said that! Messrs A. K. Billo (deceased), William Hart, C, P. Cranch, phu M. Falconer und Gilbert Burling. hen! Twenty years ago when the American Society of Pufnters in Water Colors was in the first’ year of its existence, “Thoy formed the editing committee of a pamphlet of some thirteen pages which that society put forth in the interest of the art to which they were devoted. They said in opening : The formation during the past year of the American_ Society of Painters~ in Wi Colors in New York is a new and import study among the artists; and the spivit with whicnit has been carried forward may justly be regarded as a sizn of great promise of, future excellence in this beautiful de- partment of art. The enthusiasm with which this step has been greeted by a large number of our painters, the unquestioned success of the first exhibitirn of water colors on the walls of {he National academy,and the favor which the public has shown in'the no- tice bestowed upon the paintings, ns well as in tho purchase of many of them, ure certuin- ly encouruging facts to which it behooves the artists and the public to give a good deal of thought and attention.” What a change since then ! necessary to bid for public recognition. The water color exhibition is rightfully placed alongside its more numerous but none the greater artistic neighbor, the oil exhibit, and it is found to beas well up in ability as its sister. There is nothing more cheerful than a mod- 'n display of water colors, American at that. Not only from their surface lightness, clear- ness and brilliancy, but because they seem to have been produced with so little effort. They do not give evidence of naving been worked over and toiled ov is 50 often the case with ap oil, till the poo spondent at his ill success, suid: “O.. weli, L'l leave well enough alone,” and signed his name to the canvas and sent it to the exhibi- tion. On the contrary, the effect of a water color does mot lie heéuvy upon one's moral faculties; the artist has ‘seemed to smile or whistle as he worked each step in the accom- plishment of his purpose, which seems to have been taken lightiy, He has carried no weighty burden of in- decision as he progressed_and no heavy foot- rints mark his course. He seems t0 baye on sure of every ling, every brush_stroke, every value, every tone. His work com: pleted comes to an end like *“a fairy tale that is told”? and he has laid away his colors with a chuclle of triumph, not a sigh, Winle the present water color exhibition is not as largeas on previous years, it s, as a whole, just as creditable. Confined mostly to the’ women, it shows what a year's con- scientious work will do_among those who are by nature fitted to be stronger water colorists than the men, Although _the Clases, the Ripleys, the Hanmiltons, the Darloys are rightly fanous in this most delightful of all art studies, becanse they haye gotten out of the conventionalities, n; 'y lhn\*u cut loose from the environments of oll. Miss Shulze has two little landscapes on display which show her artistic feclings 'to . an appreciable extent. Always conscientious, even when she is en- gaged upon copy work,shoshows a knowledge of color which, after all, is one_of the great bug bears of the profession. Probably her best work in this department is a_landscape which has a faint twilight effect imparted to it, whether of mornfhg or night is a serious quiestion for solution. The gray tone the ar- tist has given to the subject seems to havo been well considered before a_brush was put to the canvas. 1t is pleasing and restrul, just what, you would look for in a water color. The other fandscape s done in green and thorough- 1y well handled. So well.indeed, that you can- not help but conclude that this'is by” far the better effort of the two,because Miss Schulze knows the relative value of green as a color.

But there will be a divided opinfon as to whicli is her best work, whether it is the sketch of one of tho daughters of Martha or a study of Concord grapes, Both_show abil- ity, but the work on the ‘“Sea Nymph is séemingly much stronger than th blayed in any of her other subjects.
