Not Quite so Bad as Represented. The Des Moines Register of yestorday morning contains an item concerning the con- troversy over the ownership of a portion of Cut-off island, and notes the filing of the noj tice for the Iowa authorities, to appear in the federal supreme court and defend the claims made by Pottawattamie county of urisdiction over the land in question. In dis- cussing the matter the Register asserts that the island is “inhabited by a lawless crowd who take advantage of the dispute between the two states to . obey neither the laws of Towa mor Nebraska,” This is stating a reputed fact with a little too much vigor. That portion of Council Bluffs is not inhabited by a lawless crowd, but life and property are as safe there and the proper observances of the laws are maintained as thoroughly as in any other por- tion of the city. There was a time, perhaps, but it was many moons ago, before the city government threw the panoply of the law over the territory, that some laws were not as strictly enforced as they should ve in a Chris- tian country. If the territory was ever de- signed as a rendesvous for lawless people, the proximity of the Omaha police and the (r«(fucm visits made by them prevented any such gathering. Before it was generally known that Omaha had no jurisdiction over the locality the Council Bluffs eity author- ities had assumed control and established o thorough government. It the start it was necessary to maintain two policemen there all the time, but for the last two or three months one man has been able {0 preserve peace, and has hadoccasion to make less ar- rests than any other man on the force, A large mujority of the people who live there aro interested financially in the propert ‘The majority of those who do not own prop- erty themselves are employed by the large manufacturing concerns that are establishing their plants there, and they all have a divect interest in good government, The tract is al- most certain to become the great manufactur- ing centerof thetwo cities. Already 81,000,000 have been invested there in manufacturing enterprises, and the start has only been made It is probable that another million will be planted there before another year passes. —— Women Quarrel Over a Colt.

Henry Combs, a Colored Napoleon, Wants Heavy Damages for False Arrest, THE LAWS OF THE HUMANE SOCIETY. Mra, McGwire Hunting for Her ther—Women Quarrel Over a Colt—Cutoff Misrepresented —~Minor Mention. . In the district court yesterday the case of Henry Combs vs Edward Burbridge was on trial. The plaintiff is a colored man, who has of 1ate had considerable free advertising in connection with Cut-Of island, he being one of the leading squatiers, and ofie of the most responsible financially, In fact, he has been a sort of leader in the numerous exciting contests which have taken plac over the possession of the property. The do- fendant is a well known and wealthy farmer, This suit is oue in which the plaintiff asks for $10,000 damages on account of having been arrested for stealing a harness belong- ing tothe defendant. Combs was arvested in Oman with a white man, named Straight. 'mess was found upon @& horse of which Combs claimed ownership, Combs declared be had not seen the narness before, and knew nothing about it. He agreed to come over to Council Bluffs without a requisition, protest- ing his innocence. It was claimed that the Couneil Bluffs officer who had come over to Omaha after him put the handcuffs upon him, at the solicitation of Burbridge. Combs was acquitted of the charge and Straicht was @ Juil senten This was two years 1d soon after that he commenced his suit for damages. The e was called up for eral terms ago, but it was discovered that cortain’ depositions were missing, and a continuance was therefore had to permit of the depositions being retaken. The case is being quite sharply fought. A number of witnesses from Omaha were over yesterday to testify to the good character and veputa. tion of Combs, The defense will probably be reached today, in conaection The A BUSINESS PROPOSITION.

The recent orgaunjzation of a humane so- ciety in Council Bluffs has been quietly ef- fected, and there has been little outward manifestation of enthusiasm. There scems to be little general interest manifest, and the remark is frequently heard, “It won’t amount to anything,” or the query is asked, “*Well, what can they do!" Those who are in the organization talk differently. They say it will amount toa good deal, and that they not only can bat will do a good deal, especially in vegard to the treatment of horses, The statute on the matteris as follo “If any person torture, tovment, deprive of ry sustenance, cruelly beat, mutilate, Kill, or deprive any auimal, or unnec- essarily fail to provide the same with proper food, drink, shelter or protection from the weather, or cruelly drive or work the sume when unfit for labor; or cruelly abanden the same; or carry or cause the same to be car, onany vehicleor otherwise in an unnecessarily cruel and inluman manner, he shall be pun- ished by im)visonment in the county jail not exceeding thirty days, or by fine not exceed- ing $100, Anotlier section of the law fs: “If any person keep or in any way be connected with, or be interested in the management of, or for the admission of any person 10 any place kept or used for the purpose of fighting or baiting any bull, bear, dog, cock, ox other creature, or engage in, aid, abet, on courage, or assist in any bull, bear, dog, or cock, or a fight between any other creatures, he shall be deemed guilty of,a misdemeanor, Scott House.

Mrs. Jennie McGwire, a young woman of about twenty years of age with a three- months-old baby in her arms, was tramping wearily around the streets all day yesterday looking for her mother, Mrs. Eliza Boller, who is supposed to be somewhere in the city. The young woman visited the post- office repeatedly and madeinquiries of nearly all the employes of Uncle Sam in the big building, but uone of them knew thing about her mother. The general very clerk atthe postoffice recalled the fact that Mrs. Boller had received mail within a _short time but had not left any orders where her wail should be delivered, Mrs. MeGwire is in destitute eircum- stances, and had come to the city with her child in compliance with instractions from her mother who recently came here, The young woman came in on one of the trains from the south yesterday morning from Ham- burg, In, and she had just §1 left after she reachied the city. During her weary tramnp around the city looking for her mother she encountered some person who took the time to kindly direct her to the police station. Here she told her story and enlisted the offi- the seaveh, but they failed to find the parent. Last evening Ofeer Beswick kindly took the woman to his home and cared for her and will assist her today in her search, Buy your coal and wood of C. B. Fuel Co, 539 Broadway, Telephone 130 R . J. C.

It was reported that a conference was held in the office of Mr. Schoentgen yes terday afternson, which was attended by Mr. Blaxsim, if not other members, and that an agreement was effected by which Mr. Blax- sim was to nominate the winning candi aftera number of fruitless ballots would show that the other members would not con- sent to vote for Prof. Leonard, the Youngs- town, O. h, who was so highly recom- mended for the position, Whether there was any truth in the rumor or not the proceed- ings and result of the meeting indicated that a majority of the members had determined to end the controversy All the members were present, and Presi- dent Stewart called the members to order in his usual bland and courteous manner, and ithad avery mild beginning. Before the ead was reached the etherial mildness nad changed into some vigorous blasts, As the meeting was called expressly for the pur- pose of electing o superinfendent it was pected that a large number of citizens would turn out and hear the gentlemen quar- rel over the matter, but no one was present except a few interested parties who had claims 1o urge, and the reporters. Immediately after sembling the board proceeded to take a formal ballot, and the re- sult showed that Prof. Leonard had re d the votes of Messrs, Wells, Hunter and Schoentgen, who have so earnestly sup- ported him throughout. Prof. I, A, Jackson of Mount Pleasant, Ia., received two votes and Prof. Ballinger received one. On the next vote Leonard received two, Jackson two, Ballinger one and Leroy D. Brown of California one, Voting with similar results continued until the fourteenth ballot had been reached. During the time six candidates were voted for, but none of them reacned over two votes. Atter the result of the fourteenth ballot had been declared Mr. Wells addressed the chair, or rather, dressed up the chairman, in o very vigorous style in a thirty minute speech, It w a scathing and bitter specch, in which Member Wells gave utterance to his feelings and admiration of the president in a very free manner, Chair- man Stewart sat complacently chewing a paper wad during its delivery, and only in- terrupted him once when he alluded fo the l;! sident having sneered at Prof, Leonard ecause he was a Methodist preacher The president this as- sertion, but Mr. Wells reiterated it and called * attention to the fact that Mr, Waite chuckled when the sneering al- lusion was made tothe preacher, Mr. Stew- rt again explained his remark at the previ- ous meeting, but Mr. Weils said he preferred to put his own constraction upon it and let other members do the same. ‘When Mr, Wi concluded, Mr. Blaxsim said he believed ne held the key that would unlock the problem and he was going to try it anyhow by nominating a man who had not been placed in nomination, and if he was not elected on the first ballot then he would make up his mind that the members of the teachers’ committee wanted to retain the position of superin- tendeut which they were filling so creditably, Prof. yer is not unknown to fame. in 1887 he was the democratic candidate for su perintendent of public instruction, nominated by tne Towa state democratic convention, and defeated with the balance of the ticket. Sub- sequently lie was _located at Hambubg, Ia., where he is quite well known, and from whence he received some flattering recom- mendations. At the present time he is act- ing temporavily in the position of editor ot the St, Joseph (Gazette. He is a man about fifty years old and has been identified with public school work during tne greater part of his life, The public will be generally satisfied to take Mr. Sawyer on trial and wiil be de- lighted to know' that the bone of contention in the school board has been removed.

C. B. Jacquemin & Co,, No. 27 Main st. —— Fighting the Tax. Catharine M. T'ulton yesterday secured an injunction against County Treasurer Blumer, restraining him from selling certain real estate for taxes. In her petition she claims that she purchased the property of G. M. Fulton in 1887, and that the county treasurer held it liable for the per- sonal property tax for 1888 of the Boston Tea company of which G. M. Fulton was @ member. She insists that the property at that time was her own, and that she had no interest in the Boston Tea company, and was in no way responsible for taxes on its stock of grocer- ies. She claims to have made tender of the taxes on the real estate, but that this was refused, the county treasurer insisting on the tax of tho Boston ‘Tea” company being also paid. Nipped a Pair of Boots. Yesterday afternoon a fellow, unknown at present to the police, nipped a pair of high priced boots from a line in front of the boot and shoe store of John Green, on Upper Broadway. The performauce was observed by the proprietor himself, who was in the back room and saw the thief through the win- dow. Before he could get to the door and iook around the fellow had disappeaved. It was supposed that he quickly dodged into some of the adjoining stores, but a search failed to reveal him. The matter was reported to the police and Oficer Beswick was detailed to look up the thief. He is described as a large sized man, dirty and roughly dressed and generally re- sembling a tramp. He selected & pair of nines, A Thanksgiving Turkey, Fat, tender and luscious, and all the otha accessories for a flest class Thanksgiving dinner, can be found at Kelly & Younker- man’s the Upper Broadway grocers and provisioners, They have .just got nicely located in their uew building adjoining the old stand. and will make an extra effort to- day to make all of their customers and friends tecldounly thankful when they gather around the Thankseiving table tomorrow, thankful that they purchased the material elements for the feast at the new store.

Omama, Nov, 25.—To the Kditor of Tne Bre: Inyourissue of Thursday, in regard to the city council's activity in_conne with the competition for city hall plans, refer to me in an unjust manner, 16 is your privilege to criticise the acts of public officials, but I do not think that you should attack ny character in that eriticism without just grounds, and such you have not unless you would 80 ccusider ‘the spiteful howls and bitter talk of some of our less pssful competitors who, I am aware, called on you and several S r men to denounce the action of the council, insinuating all sorts of things, but without daring to muke a specific charge. Among thes 1 witl not find honorable,con- scientivus architects, but plenty of unprine pled pretenders unable to show capability 1n their works _who hesitate at nothing to gain their dirty ends and a few dollars, They intend to build themselves up on my downfall, if this they can accomplish, and in this way attempt to explain why the inex- perienced young architect (as they usually term me) should defeat them in what they know in their hearts was the fairest competi- tion ever held in the city of Omaha. If they who were certainly most interested, thought that our plans were not the best presented why didi’t they make some objection the The committee brought in a unanimous report on Friday afternoon and uo actior taken by thom, 50 as to give every member of the council an opportunity to carefully com- paro it with the plans, They were placed in the comptroller's oftice open to the public, At this time the sealed envelopes contaming the architect’s names had not been opened. These part looked over the plans themselv and sent a great many prowinent builders an citizens to, if possibie, detect a single flaw or objection, What wes' the result! On Tues- duy night the council met, and without even a discussion, the report of the committee was adopted, every member voting aye except Mr. Hascall, who statea after the meeting that he had no doubt our plan was the best, but he had not had time to examine the rest of the prizes. Now, why, ® anything was wrong, could they not got'a single council- man, to object to our receiving first prizet Had'T hypnotized them all or would anybody believe I bought them allt Now, in reference to my having been a particular friend of Mr, Chaffee's, such is not afuct. Thad known him buta ve time before the competition was settled and had never had fifteen minutes' conversation with him at any one time,and I do not remem- ber ever to have talked to or been with him in private at all. This applies as well to any man in the council. There was not. one 1 could call a personal . As to subscribing to the Twenty-Eight-Broatch club fuud, I will state positively that I never even knew of such a club until long after the election, fivst reading of it in Tie Bee, This firm has bed to any political fund except of the Bankers’ and Business Men's as- sociation, and personally all I subscribed to the Broatch campaign was to the republican central committee to help elect Lininger, Now, Mr. Editor, this 1s an exact statement, of facts. I have tried, as a young man, and a son of Omaha, to be successful in my profes- sion and gain the approval of our citizens in an honorable manner, and I defy anyone to show a single dishono le or mean act in m. some of the med that the A Card fro Tn my practice I have had dealings with hundreds of contractors here and elsewhere and I don’t believe you can find one who will say he has not always received fair treatment at my hands. Do you consider it a_crimo to be young, ov is it a sin not to have bailt five- proof buildings? Isitnot afact that some of our’ competitors had not built fire-proof buildings ¢ 1 am satisfied to let the building show whether or not the experience is lacking. It is now over three stories high and most of the fir proof iron work is in place. Upto the pre ent time our plans have proven without de- fect, not one doilar extra being expended for any oversight or omission. As to the pay- ments made, we were entitled to them ac- cording to the rules of the American associa- tion of architects, which rules govern nearly all competitions held in this country. Our plans were done, all reports to the contrary notwithstanding. In conclusion, I will tell you why, of ail reasons, our plans were superior to all 'others presented, Not being sufficiently conceited to imagino that 1 knew all that could be learned about city halls, I sent for plaus of all the best buildings' of this character known, oven to Berlin and Leipzig, and studied them thoroughly. In addition tothis, 1 personally interviewed every city official as to the exact floor ce, counter and desk room and vault capacity required now, and also probable requirements of the future, and we planned to give them just what they wan This none of our competitors thoughi necessary. I have answered this personally, because it was, as I took it, for me intended. Knowing you will set me right in the eyes of the public by publishing th 1 am yours respectfully, CrARLES F.

This now universally known medi cine has been advertised in the Graphic for four or five years, but not until_recently had we any personal knowledge of its wonderfal efficacy which has come about through the prevailing influenza and the stubborn cough that has so often attended it. In the writer's family this medicine has on several occasions this winter cured a cough that baffied any and all other remedies; and the number of families in Kimball and vieinity, in which this remedy has been used with' like effects, attests to its value as a specific for coughs and colds of every nature, —_—— The Parnell Gladstone Split.

TWENTY-EIGHTERS IN DESPERATE STRAITS They Declare That Thelr Pets Must be Returned to the Council and the Combine Must be Maintained. A desperate effort is being made by the wenty-Eight club to bolster up the waning fortunes of its members in the council com- bine who are sceking re-election, Wheeler, Chaffee and Davis, wheelhorses of the club and general managers of the com- have been driven to despair at the op- sition met in their wards to their re-election and have been for several wecks sending out frautic appeals for help to their fellow Tam- many traitors, The result was a meeting of Broatch's bruisers, the Twenty-Eight club, at Grand Army of the Republic ball, on Fifteenth street, Monday night. Allof the old time members were present. They came singly and in pairs—never more than two of them together—sneak ing through the alleys and along the shadowy side of the street to the place of meeting. Broatch was an_early avrival. He left his coachman on purteenth street and came up througt y alley, and was closely fol- lowed b on’’ John Clarke, Vaudervoort, Dan Wheolor, Chaffee, Davis, R. O.

The conspirators were more than an hour in assembling, theirevident aversion to being recognized in their rolo muking it necessary for them to get into the meeting-room unob- served, Frequently when one of them would be almost at the enfrance to the hall some stranger would suddenly come around the corner from Capitol avenue, heading south on Fifteenth street, The Twenty-Eighter would immediately hurry forward, north on Fifteenth, not deigning to look at the stair- way leading to the hall. He would go on and hide around the corner until the stranger had disappeared. Then he would hurriedly sneak back, and hastening up the stairway join his brefhiren in the room At 10 o’clock the str ki were all in line and, with Broatch in the chair, held a meet- ni that lasted an hour or more. It was a_repeated rehearsal of “Listen to My Tale of Woe” when reports were called for froin members interested in the coming city election. Wheeler, Chaffee and Da: all told of the fearfully rocky road they were traveling in search for a renomination for the council in their various wards. Reports were made of a dozen Chaffee meetings held in the Seventh ward und of vain efforts to arouse any enthusiasm. Charley Inskep and Charley Beindorf were the only real sure followers the combine's president some democratic heelers who had been hired at 0 much per night to vote with the Chaffee men, Hope of help from graders' camps had been entertained but the re- spectable republicans of the ward had waken steps to sce that none but genuine residents of the ward voted at the primaries, and the outlook was very gloomy unless something desperate was decided upon, and that at onc Reports from the Fourth and Ninth wards showed that any of the candidates in the field could beat Wheeler or Davis, and that tho council combine would be a thing of the past unless the Twenty-Eight vlub would employ its *purity-in-elections” policy with @ ven- geanc he blame for this—to them—unhappy and deplorable state of affairs was charged to E. Rosewater and Tue Be Abuse of the vil- est kind was heaped upon Mr. Rosewater by a dozen different speakers and after various remedies had been suggested for the existing conditions, John Clarke made a speech, winding up with the declavation : We must elect every man we are support- ing and that by such majorities that Rose- water will think he has lost his grip." ““He hasn't lost his grip yet,” groaned Ed Cone from the secretary’s desk, *though I wish to Christ he had.” - Vandervoort made a speech in which he smd: “Gentlemen, we must elect every man that Rosewater is fighting. It is necessary to the future of this club and to the success of its members,” “That's all right,” grunted Cone again. “It's easy enough to say ‘we must’ but how are vou going to do it? After along talk on the issues the club de- cided to do everything in_its power to return its present members, Chaffee, Davis and ‘Wheeler, to the council. If this is found to be an impossibility—as there is no doubt it will be—a representation in the council must be had at aill hazards. It is proposed to secure this by the election of R. O. Backus ~ in _the Kifth ward and Simon Kahn in the Eighth, Both of these worthies were at the mecting, Kahn being a newly initiated member of the club. Wheeler, Chaffee, and Davis were encour- aged to continue their losing fight a few days longer, and to report to another meeting of the club to be held before the primaries, the club leaders in the meantime agreeiug to sce what could be done to help them in alast pull for the coveted positions in the council ring. The club adjourned at 11 o'clock, the mem- hers leaving the hall in pairs and sneaking through the alleys and davk cross streets and appearing on Farnam and Douglas at various voints between Thirteenth and Seventeenth streets, —_— VIRGINIA PLUM PUDDING. Some Suggestions of Preparing a De- licious Thanksgiving Dinner. Harpers Bazar: From the old domin- fon comes the best plum pudding we have ever eaten, that dear holiday dish which some wit calls the ‘‘St. Paul’s Cathedral of an English Christmas,” A truly rich ana spicy daughter is this “speckled cannon ball” of the wishy- washy plum porridge over which our forefathers made such to-do, and which an old scribe tells us consisted of ‘‘beef or mutton boiled with broth and thick- ened with brown bread, to which half- boiled raisins, currents, prunes, cloves, mace and ginger were added,” Let my veaders but once make their Christmas pudding after our southern aunties' formula, each one of the house- hold taking a stir for luck, and I venture tosay they will never use any other and will will wish that “Christmas cheer ran round the year." A small loaf of bread soaked 1n a pint of new milk until soft enough to mash with a spoon, eight eggs, one pound of sugrer, one pound of beef suet chopped fine, one pound of raisins stoned and cut in small pieces, one pound of currants half pound of citron, half a nutmeg, one teaspoonful of powdered allspice, a very little ciove, one winegluss of brandy, and enough flour to hold the ingredients together, sifted in by de- grees. A pint of flour is generally suf- ficient, and butter may be used iu place of suet., Mix the pudding well, and boil either ina cloth or tin mould for elght hours, being careful to fill up the kettle with hot water as fast as it boils awno. For the sauce to be served with this dessert beat two eggs, quarter of a pound of butter, and one pound of sugar to- gether, stir in a tumbler of wine and two tablespoonfuls of brandy; then add half-tumbler of boiling water and a lit- tle nutmeg, and set the whole over the fire for two minutes, stirving all the time, Docked with holly and blazing with a halo of blue flame, this will prove a worthy capsheaf to the holiday feast, round which we-may well make mer remembering that SCarols, and not mine'd meat, make Christ- mis pies; "Tis mirth, not dishes, aets a table off; Brutes aud phanaticks eat, and uever laugh.” - J Pattern Makers Organize, A meeting of the pattern makers of this city and Council Bluffs was held last Monday ovening at Arcanum hall for the purposs of effecting an association hers i1 connection with the National League of Pattern Makers of North America.

The dinner early became the marked feature of the Thanksgiving festival, says Harper's Bazar, In the stern Pur- itan times it wasthe one day, sanctioned by religion and custom, when one might give himself up to the pleasures of the table, and when the close frugality and .\'l 'tan pltinmees of diet might bho blamelessly relaxed. Until within the last thir ws Thanksgiving dinner wits more or less an emergency meal. There were no markets, and th England housewife showed her skill in making palatable dishes from the hest that the farm or garden produced. If cortain erops of fruit failed. the dinner was cooked from what had grown well. The spirit of eriticism was held in ab ance, for each one knew that the best the home afforded was placed before him. Two preparations were made far in advance for the day: the turk fattened and the pumpkin was encour- aged to grow freely in and out of the long rows of corn, undisturbed by the modern cultivator, The serving of the dinner was not ac- cording to the rules of wsthetic dining, 80 vigorously taught and championed during the last decade; but in the family of the New England gentleman the meal was marked by as high a courtesy and refinement as ever accompanied o' mod- ern dinner with its trained service. Each one presided over some dish—veg etable or fruit—and dispensed courteous ly, feeling that the others’ enjoyment depended on his owa attention as woll as on that of the host.
