THE NEWS IN THE BLUFES. Oonsiderable IH-Feeling Engendered by the Anti-8aloon Movement, IN THE DISTRICT COURT. MATTERS The Democratic City Convention to Be Held on February 25— Funeral of Dr. Hart-Other News Notes, Any amount of ill feeling has been caused by the renewal of the anti-saloon movement. It still continues to be the favorite theme of conversation on the street corners, in spite of fact that it is now more thon twodays the injunction suits were commenced. B. Seabrook was probably the most -of man in Council Bluffs yesterday. And the remarks that were made about him were notall of the most friendly nature. Men stood about the street corners and made little side remarks about tar -and feathers and such things that would have becn any- thing but reassuring tothe subject of the conversation, The thing that came nearest to an actual demonstration took place yester- day morning. when Seabrook was met upon the streot by S. P, MacConuell, who notified him that he held a bill against him for house rent amounting to about £10. Seabrook told him that the house lived in belonged to W. W. Bilger, and that he should recognize no one as landlord until he had been ordered to do so Bilger, Mr. MacConnell went away and brook heard no moreof the waiter ur afternoon, when he received a call from a clerk of Wright & Baldwin, wno brought a paper ordering hin to surrencer the house withing three days or become defendant in asuit to obtain possession. Mr. brook states that he has been ployed by Bilger as his attorney, and since last July he has paid no rey ing a tacit understunding that the rent m was to be applied on Bilger's bill for foes. Two or threo days ago he learn Bilger that he had assizned the_leaso of the house to 8. P, MacConnell and W. Hart tosecure a debt wh he (Bilger) owed. Until that time he had mnot the slightest knowledge that he was expected to pay his rent toany ono but Mr. Bilger, The men who have gone to the trouble and expense of fitting up costly barrooms in the expectation that they would be allowed to run their places of business without fear of pstation, now that the old war which was d against the saloons by the law and order league was stopped, are among the most bitter in their denunciations of Sea- brook. Some of them has pent almost their last dollar in putting in their costly fur- niture and fixture, and now they are broken hearted. There was also a rumor in arcula- tion to the cffect that tho lessees of the irand hotel had rescinded their contract with the owners of the building and wou'd not take the management of the place with- out bar_privileges, claiming they could not make it pay Jewell, the lessee, was seen about the matter yesterday., He stated that the contract had ot been rescinded yet, but such a move might be looked for at any time if this litigation went on. Thirty- one thousand worth of furniture has been ordered, but as soon as these suits were commenced he tele- graphied the proprietors of the factory at Grand Rapids, Mic old thoe goods there until further order: he owners of the hotel are very bluc over the turn affairs have taken, as they have svent a small fortune on the elephantine structure, and to have it lying idle on their hanas after completion is an experience they are not at all anxious to have. em- that d from Attend auction sale of cigars at Fountain cigar store Monday, Feb, 16, at 10 oclock.

Few, even of those who have watched the rising of the walls and crowning of the roof, can realizo the elegance in which the interior is being finished. The arrangemeont is such that all the rooms have advantage of being adapted for use singly suite. On the fourtn floor especially they are arranged to be used en suite 1f de- with sitting room, bath room, bed rooms and closets. One peculiarly happy feature of the plan is that there are no back rooms. Kveryone cither faces Pearl street, First avenue or the court, which fa the park—‘the garden spot of America,” s old Colonel Car- ter, of Cartersville, = Va., would say. The location 1s such that wonderful views of the city and surrounding country can be ob- tained” from many points in the building. The residence portion of the city and the parks being the most prominent, instead of the crowded and noisy business portions, gives a homelike effoct which will prove most pleasing to the guests, Council Bluffs was in sore need of such a hotel, and its erection by Kimbail & Champ is a striking proof of not only the enterprise of these y , but of their unbounded faith in C il Bluffs, A substantial and eclegant building was their idea. The foundation is upon 1,30 piles driven thirteen feet below the curb line. The piles are thirty feet in length and are of white oak. Upon theso heavy flawging was laid. The aim has been to make the Grand fire proof. Ihe girders and beams are of steel. The elevator shafts and stairways are constructed entirely of iron and steel, with marblo stey Mineril wool and asbestos are packed tween every partition and floor, ‘The architecture is Romanesque in style, the first twostories being of Warrensburg, Mo., sandstone, the upper five wtories beinjs rock-faced brick, terra cotta and Spanish tile turrets. The wintows throughout the building ave of heavy plate glass, There ave fifty bath rooms, Vasioo Thiose sons nected with the corridors of every floor.

Tt will be lighted in the center by a large cluster of clectric lights, with smaller groups about the sidi giving a brilliant effect, The wainscoting is marble, and all the woodwork is antique oak. The floor is of mosaic tiles, he rotunda isa reminder of the Auditorium ia Chicago, possibly because the same decorator was employed upon the columns and marble, whose skill is shown in ‘the Auditorium, I'he first floor of tho hotel contas the oftice, reading room, railway ticket and tele- graph offices, geuts” furnishing goods, drug store, bar rodm and toilet roomms, The reading room faces on the park, lighted by windows at least eighteen feet 1n height. A largoe fire pl h' capacity suflicient to receive a large log, is graced by a beautiful mantel. The main entrance on First avenue is made attractive by marble wainscoting, mo- saic tile floor and~ numerous pleasing decora- tions, The ladies’ entrance on Pearl stroet is finished with the same clegance. Three compression tank system _clevators are to be used, two in_the rotunda for pas- songer purposes, the other for buggage, ote being in the rear of the office. The ofice faces both the main and the ladies’ entrance. ‘The double parlors and recention rooms are on the second floor. They are finished in butternut and mahogany. The dining room 15 on the seventh floor, as are also tue kitchen and rooms for the help. The aining room has that essential for cheer- fulness, good light, in abundance, There are fifteen large windows, reaching nearly to the ceiling, which is very high, The view from here is grand, the eye easily taking in Omaha, Lake Man- awa and the beautiful residence parts of Council Bluffs, whilo the gem of a_park lies under one’s fect. ‘Lhe dming room floor is of mosaic tiles, the wainscoting of narble, the ceiling tinted and pleasingly decorated.

Illinois and South Dakotais, by the democrats of tho new state, looked upon with great favor, For Henry Cunningham of Pierre, 8. D,, is au- thority. “The nformation reached us the first part of this week,” Mr, Cunningham said today, “and it took like wildfire. Iam an out-and- out democrat and my fellow members of tue party are, liko myself, for the cause, but the only good we have this far done is to provent the re-clection of Moody and the election of auyone by the vepublicans. We have been holding out in hopes that possibly the farm- ers would come to us, but the farm- ers have been holding out in hopes that we would go to them. Sothat on that plan, neither party was likely to give in.
