An old gray cat strayed into A. D. Foster's new drug store yesterday and gave a remark- able exhibition of the aptness of the name given by our grandmother to u genus of plants described by ists as N. cataria, vulgarilly called catnip. Tue drug store is being moved from the old location on Broad- , and among other stuft taken in was & large original package of catnip compressed mto small cakes, The packu had been placed on the top of a tall desk in the back part of the store, fully eight feet from the floor, The old tabby had evidently observed the package ns it was being carried slong on the street, aud she con- cluded to have a holiday treat of her favorite herb. he walked intothe store and made a careful search until she disco vered the location of the drug, and then quickly scaled the height and attacked the package with claws sharpened by the keenest ex- pectancy. The paper covering was quickly toren away, and with a 5 cent packuge in her mouth she sprang down and careied it with 8s much satisfaction as if it had be the fattest moase in Council Bluffs, began to devour it with & hearty appetite. ' When she bad eaten as much as she wanted she thauk: the clerks, who had witnessed the feat, with a polite “mgow” and walked out of the store apparently well satisflod.

The mayor's officp and the police head- quarters, the citadéls of the city, have not been threatened, nor is the city itself be- sieged, but the redskins have assaulted and captured Fair cemetery, the peaceful and beautiful city of the dead that crowns the sunny hillsides in the ngrth part of town. applied the torch in the night time, silently investing the silent city, and skipped. This is how it happened. On Thursday night about 10 o'clock Officer Claar, whose regular beat takes him to the top of the hill on Oakland avenue, saw a light in the north- crn end of the cemetery. He made an inve tigation and found the light to proceed from a campfire, which was surrounded by a num- ber of Indian men and one old squaw. They were squatting araund it, enveloped in old blankets. The oficer went' up to them,showed his star, his club and his gun and then mo- tioned to get out of thy They were as im- movable as the tombstones among which they squatted and the officer began to talk to them in _good honest Anglo-Saxon. 1f they understood him they refused to acknowledge itany further than by giving him sundr angry scowls and black looks. He tapped h star, his club and his gun again ominously and pointed to the north star and orde: them by energetic pantomime to go to to Omaha, or anywhi s they got ' out of there. Their ans o still blacker scowls and more angl Their teeth gleamed in the fitful light like the tusks of jackals. Oficer Claar isw't a man to be easily frightened, but was something so uncanny in the surroundings that his blood grew a little colder. The savage faces recalled the fancies of his youth and the pictures of ghonls and goblins that live in graveyards and eat up little boys. He concluded to wait until he made hs 11 o'clock report at the central station and then he would tell Sergeant Safely about it and ask for instructions. The report was made, but no instructions were given, the officer only being told to keep his eye on the red- skins during the remainder of the night and attempted to sack and burnthe city while the people siept to sound the toesin from the nearest patrol box. At 12 o'clock a reporter for a c who sometimes sees ghosts, presence of the redskins, protection of his guardian angel and his bie ulster overcoat, erept to the top of the hill and looked. Nor did_he look in vain. The scene had changed. The little spark of fire around which the shivering redskins were gathered when the officer was there, had grown into & billow of flame that threatened to consume the marble monuments, He flew down the hill and brought the report to the central station that the redskins were dan, ing a genuine ghost pance, and he was uot sure that half of the corpses in the comet had not joined them, A platoon of police wers sent to investi- gate, and they found the reporter’s story had considerabie foundation, The redskins had set five to the dry grassand skipped. The south wind carried the fire over the northern half of the cemetery, and inflicted a good deal of damage on the trees and shrubbery, It was evident that the act was malicions and was done immediately ufter Officer Clany had ordered them out. The police were hunt- ing for the savages yesterday, but they coutd not be found. P NO SIGN OF DULL TIMES v paper, heard of thé invoking the Atthe Boston Store, Council Bluffs.

The potice have long been cognizant of tho tence of a gang of juvenile burglars, com- poscd of some of the toughs of the city, but they have been unable to get any more defi- nite information than that which could be obtained when they occasionally avrested a youngster detected in committing petty lar- ceny. The officers entertain the belief that a large number of burglaries that have becn committed in the city during the past f months should be credited to these yo sters, An arrest made at an early hour yesterday morning has been the means of unfolding o the authorities the names of the members of the gang and it is believed chat their past crimes will be unfolded during the day. Athalf past 2 o'clock y morning Omicer O'Brien heard anoise in the rear of a small brick, Nos. 613, 617 and 610 West Broadway.

His former wife, from whom he was divorced about three mouths” ago, has siuce then been living in €hicago. 'The order of court in con- nection with the decree of divorce gave her the custody of the child, a sweet little gul, but the same order made it her duty to allow him to visit thechild at seasonable times, and to keep him informed as to the-whereabouts and welfare of the child. He claims that she has not done thils, and that during the three months or more past he has received from her but one letter concerning the child, and at one other time the child's picture, enclosed without a word of comment, Yesterday she arrived in the city in com- pauy with Mr. and Mrs, Grifiith, the latter being her sister. She had received a telegram in Chicago stating that their mother, living in Tacoma, Wash., was very illand not ex- pected to live. She prepared as soon as possi- Llc to leave for her mother's bedside, and in planning the trip left Chicago on the train eaving there about 6 o'clock in the evening, instead of waiting until 11 o’clock, when she could have gota through train, She thus planned in order to stop a few hours in Coun- cil Bluffs and give Whittlesey a chance tosce the little girl before taking her west. She went his oftice on arriv- ing here took the child with her. She told him of her mussion west, and that sho was anxious to cateh the train at 2:30 in the afternoon, and proceed on her journey. He wanted his mother to sce the child, and so an arrauge- ment was made for them to meet again at Eiseman's store at 1 o'clock. When she was on her way to meet this engagement what was her surprise to have an officer step up to her, and arrest her for conte-apt of court. It appeavs that Whittlesey had been consulting with his attorneys and concluded that since she had got within the jurisdiction of the court, and was 50 soon to be beyond its reach, the time was opportune to have her brought before the barand given a forcibleremindex that it was her du write to lim more frequently concerning the child, She and the child wereaccordingly brought before Judge Carson. The judge was busy and just about to sena a jury’ out in another case. He stopped proceedings, however, in order tolisten to the matter, and the jury in the other case was kept waiting. Mr. Pusey, who is Mrs. Whittlesey's attorney, was busy in the superior court, where a jury was being empanelled. He had to excuse himself to at- tend to this matter, and 50 the machinery of another court was stopped. Mr. West, Whit- tlesey's attorney, was trying a case i Justice Barnett and so that court had to stop. The delay in securing the attendance of Mr. West was such that train time had passed beforoe the case coutd be even opened, 80 that Mrs. Whittlesey will have w0 wait until this afternoon be- foro resuming her journcy. The taking of the evidence occupi the _entire afternoon. During its progress Mr. Pussey, in commenting upon some matter, so severely scored Whittlesey that the latter excitedly jumped up trom his chairand almost shouted, “That'sa lie,” A bailiff sprang forward -to seize him, thinking he was about to strike the attorney, but Whittlesey quickly obeyoed the attorney’s sharp order to *sit down,” and trial proceeded. Whittlesey’s attorney apolo- gized to the court for the action of his client and the matter was dropped, Judge Carson decided to dismiss the con- tempt proceedings and set Mrs. Whittlesey free. The decree in the divorce case did not state how often she was to write him, and as she swore positively that she had written him six or seven times in three months, he saw 1o proof of her having failed to comply with the decree, to and Fine Holiday Presents.
