Plans to Facilitate the Business of the District Court. AN IMPORTANT MEETING OF ATTORNEYS, The New Driving Park Assoclation's Contemplated Improvements— ooking After the Boys —Minor Mention, The slowness which bas characterized the present session of the district court has caused much dissatisfaction among the attd neys and their clients who are waitiog f their turn to come. The court chbnvened on the 13th, but so far only the work has been done which had been assigned to the first four days of the_term. A meeting of the bi was called in the court house yesterday morning to consider the advisability of extending the time to be de- voted to equity cases from three to four weeks. After considerable discussion a vote was taken and a majority of the members were found to be in favor of extension. Cer- tain ones opposed it, however, say the change would be a good ground erunting of new trials in the cases might be tried in the extra weele. Finall to avoia complications, Judge Thorn decided that the rules should govern the holaing of court, and that the extension should not be made, This will probably ne- cessitate the postponement of a large part of the equity calendar until next term The greater day was then de- voted to reading the law docket and making assignments, after which the case of Lodge & Henry vs Butler was resumed. The try- ing of liw_cases will be begun next Monday. ——— Our Remarkable Succ ‘s Enables us to present for your considera- tion prices withouta precedent in the history of Council Bluffs.

Marshal Templeton was presented some time ago with a handsome wildeat skin by some of his nunter friends who had killed the animal in the timber along the river north of the city. The skin was made Into a rug by a skillful taxidermist, with the head and claws mounted in perfect style, giving the head of the beast o wonderfully hfelike pearance. Sunday evening the mars brought the skin the central office and threw it carelessly upon the ofice sofe. A number of uewspapers con- cealed all of the skin but the head and claws, and when Deputy Mar- shal Frank Fowler went into the office late in the eveuing and came forward to unlock the safe hewas confronted by a pairof gleam- ini eyes and naked claws that abpeared to be just reaching for his throat. The gleaming eyes, teeth and claws were within a few inches of his facs before he discovered the monster. In the dim light it suddenly grew in terriblencss of aspect, and the officer re- ceived such a shock that he came very nearly going through the wire screen. Béfore he could draw his revolver a second glanc showed him that the beast was as harmless s a mummy. But the sudden discovery of the apparition him & shock that he now refers to with a smile, Be Loyal to Y Town. Don't go outside of your city to spend your money and be called & sucker.

There are lots of those fellows lying around the Bluffs without any work, without any money, without anything. A policeman comes alon g, picks one of them up, and brings him in to me. The next thing for me to do is to fine him, whether or no. “Unfortunately, my understanding of the law is different from that of the memoers of the police force. A policeman has no right to arrest a man vnless he can make some specific charge against him. 1f he can't do this, the only thing for mo to do is to let the man go, Tean't keep him in jail until they send word all over the covntry to find out whether he has committed some erime or not.

Kelley & Younkerman, Fighting for Church Plans, The Broadway Methodist church has had a ood deal of trouble over the plans for its new building. They have had to change archi- tects several times because of unsatisfactory work on the part of the men whom they em- ployed to superintend the work of erection, aud now one of these architectural firms comes in und trics to shutoff the work en- tirely by taking away the plans, The firm of F. M. Ellis & Co. was the first one whose services were dispensed with. The church paid them 800 for the plans and thought that they owned them. H.

Some time agoa deal wag'made, by which the motor company took one-third of the stock, private citizens of Omaha another third, and the balanco was hold by citizens of the Biuffs. Being thns intoresthd, the motor company extended their lines into the park. Stil some of the Bluffites, who had been holding up the enterprise for years at the expense of their own pockots, were dissatisfied and wanted to get out of it altogether, and the result of this feeling is that but two or three shares of the stock are nowowned in Council Bluffs, The motor company has secured about twothirds of the stock, and Omaha citizens have a cinch on all that is left. Mr. D, F. Eicher of Eicher & Kiplinger, who has been one of the stockholders for years, and who was largely instrumental in unloading the property, stated yesterday that henceforth the park would be run in connection with the motr line, and that the motor company would have full swing, Said he: *The motor compauy has been rradually getting control and now they have onsiderably more than half and will have mote of it. ~ I concluded that it was time for me to get out aud some of the others felt the me way, inasmuch us under the new deal the motor folks will do as they please and the others won't lave aword to say, All they can do is to come totime when the assess- ments are made. 1 understand that some ex- teusive changes are contemplated and of course money will be required. 1 belie the motor folks proposcto _remove the barns to the mnorth end of the tracks and muk- ing a picnic grownd of the south cnd.

Mr. J, H. Millard, treasurer of the motor npany, stated that he knew nothing of the plaus of the compiny regarding the changes to be made at the park, altiough he understood that certain_ones would be made, “We now own two-thirds of the stock,’ said he, “and the receutly acquired shares were deeded tome as trustee. Our lines run into the park and we will endeavor to find use for them. The next meeting of the company will not be held for a month, and it will prob- ably be decided at thattime just what is to ve done, After our plans are made we will give them to the public, but at present there is nothing for publication.” ——— Several y. ago Chamberlain & Co. of Des Moines; Ta., commenced the manu facture of a cough _syrup, believing it to be the most prompt and reliable preparation yet produced for coughs, colds and croup: that the public appreciate true merit, and_in time it was cer- tain to become popul Their wost sanguine hopes bave been more than realized.

Two of these claims are from Henry Ehren- vfort and M. Lies for services as assessor in the First and Second wards re- spectively; and aggregating $127. Both of these men were pad for their work at the thue the other ass s owere, Another claim _ for ° which fav- orable action is_ solicited from the board is for some $7380 for fees for deputy sheriffs whoserved at the Coliscum during the October exposition. The claim _is pre- sented by Sheriff Boyd and a Mr. Roth, who is described as “the ‘gentleman with the bi whiskers.” Twoor three years ago, at the personal and very urgent solicitation of many private citizens, the board warranted the in- currfug of a bill for deputies to serve at the joint exhibit of the fair and exposition. In tho present case, Sherift Boyd is said to have gone ahead ‘and em- ployed deputies without any authority from the board. He and Mr. Roth have paid the bill, and now are coming to the county to re- imburse them. ————— No greater triumph in medicine or chemi try has been recorded than Hall's Hair Re néwer to revivify and restore gray hairto- the color of youth, [ FOR DEMOCRATS ONLY, The Combine Puts Up the RPars Against Republican Ofice-Seekers.

Tt seems that various republicans have been calling upon the mayor at different times lately mll[ml't‘prcwnu-d that they had been promisea the vote of five democrats to their uppolutment tothis taing and that, The mayor became very weary of hearing such assertions, and not only this, but got all at sea as to the democratic sincerity of certain councilmen who owe theirseats in the mu- nicipal body to democratic votes. After “bearing” the thing as long as he could he yesterday called his political brothers about m and demanded that they pledge him their support under any and all circum- stances in the matter of confirining only dem- ocrats, They pledged, and hence the ver- diet. ‘The particular cause for the action at this time 1s said to be the filling of the vacancy on the board of public works, 1 have a cousin Wwho 1s a printer, says ex- Mayor J.
