F. Wilcox and on Saturday last he went into the woods to cut wood. el hours later his coat and axe were found beside his untasted din- ner. When night came and 1o tidings been received from him tho belief became fixed that he had 1n some manner been mado the vietim of foul y Under this impres- sion searching parties were organized and a rge portion of the count: has been scoured in search of tl missing man. The bunt was , still being prosecuted yosterday morning when Allen was seen walking past the home of his employer, o few miles cast of the city. When stopped and called upon for an_explanation Allen could none, only saying thut he had no fon of anything that t pired sinc ving the house 1o go to work on S ) ing until he found himself in Weston, ten miles east of Council Blufts, 3 morning. It was simply a case of temporary mental aberration. He > no account of his wanderings, only that he spent the greater part of the timo jn Weston, He is deeply grieved that ho caused his friends somuch auxiety. ettt NOT UNDER HON The Boston Store, Council Bluffs, Wants No Protection Against Omaha Competiti Being one of tue many firms 1n Council Biuffs alluded to vy the proprietors of an Omaha store as desiring protection against competition, we desire to repell the uncalled for and utterly groundless intimation that Council Bluffs merchants have anything to fear from any kind of straight, honorable business competition, whether it comes from Omaha, Chicago or any other place, We are not the party whom Hayden Bros, referred to in their remarkable statement, and who answered the thrust in such a spirited man- ner yesterday morning, which was read with interest by all the readors of thedaily papers, but we desire to speak in our own behalf, This being a free country, we don't *care who or how many Omaha merchants peddle their goods in Council Bluffs, We can com- pete with any Omaba merchant in_our lines, as the majority of our fellow merchants can and do ey ay in all other lines, We bave our regular Omiha patrons daily, who, know- ing they can save from 1010 20° per cent at our store on the ass of goods sold b Omaha merchants, embrace the opportuni of " coming to the Boston store in Council Bluffs and making the bulk of their purchases. All the electric street cars pass our doors, and the ride from Omaha isa pleasant aswell as profitable recreation. In the near future we contemplate opening a branch of our store in Omaha, where our trans-Missouri customers can get goods at the same prices as b d in the Bluff We think such a_bronch store would be o great success, a8 in many lines of our goods we would be able to get bett we can in Council Blufls, We want tosay a word or two about the Muarshal Field 0. chestout, It this whole- sale house, that makes a business of buying. up bankrupt stocks and antiquated lines, really put the Omaha gentlemen under bons not to sell any of the Eiseman stock in Council Bluffs, we want it distinetly under- stood that it was not done for our benefit, The Boston Store requires no protection from that source. Be buy the bulk of our goods from the maunufacturer direct, gettingthem at the same prices that Marshall Field & Co, ave obliged to pay, and we give our customers the ing of & middleman’s profit. 1f the Chicago house magnanimously volunteered to protect some Council Bluffs house by putting a big Omaha firm under such distressing ob- ligations their victims deserve more sympa- thy than the I blic will perhaps be likely tond aders of our daly papers can readily that we are not the party referred toin the deal.

Edmundson and Thomas Heft, two farm- ers residing south of the city, appearea in Justice Patton’s court yesterday morning and wanted o warrant issued for the arrest of “'Colonel” W. H. Beck on a charge of car- rying concraled weapons. They stated that they were coming to the city on the Manawa road, and when they were a short distance from the lake they met Beck and another man o a bugey, going in an oppo- site direction, They claimed that Beck was just drank enough to bo quarrelsome, an & dispute nroseas towho had tho Hight to the road. Sowme words arose between them 1d finally when they attempted to pass his rig he pulled a revolver from his pocket and threatened to shoot them full of 'holes. At the sight of the gun they decided to let the “colonel” have his way and countented them- selves with having the information sworn out. Constable Austin was given the warrant to be served, but he was unable to find Beck, e , 520 Pearl street. Tele- Gioods called for and delivered, NO BANKRUPT STOCK. Evans Laundry C phone 20, The Council Bluffs Carpet Company Has None of the Eiseman Stock, and Never Advertised It. In justice to ourselves and all other Coun- il Bluffs merchauts, we desire to correct a misleading statement published in all of the daily papers yesterday concerning the Eise- man bankrupt stock of merchandise, A prominent Omaha merchant rushes into print with the startlin, sertion that w advertising the Eiseman stock of carpets, rugs, curtains, shades and draperies with the intenticn of misleading the public. This is a strange sort of an error for an intelligent man to fall into. We cheerfully as: in making the correction he desires s0 much to have made, i. e., to havo the pub- lic understand we did not get any of the Fiseman stock. We make the statement broadly and without qualification that we did not buy a dollar’s worth of the Riseman bankrupt stock, o any other baukrupt stuff, and carry no second hand goods of any char: acter. We buy all our goods direct from the manufacturcr,” the latest styles, fresh from the looms. The only thing we did in the ad- vertisemeut complained of was to contrast some of our regular, eveay-day-in-the-year all round prices with the “marked up” Holden figures. When their prices were “cut in two" our regular prices were still 10to 15 per cent. Llower than the “bankrupt bargaius.” f Mr. Holden marked up the Eiseman prices for the purpose of “making a big cut, it was not our fault. Tt is positively cruel to put Omaha mer- chants under bonds not to compete with Council Bluffs prices, and Marshall Field & Co. ought to be ashamed of it. We are not under any bonds to protect anybody except the obligations put upon @ first class house to protect the public against overcharges and to doa straight legitimate business, We are the largest exclusive carpet house in the west and we will undertake not only to com- pete, but to do a good deal better than to du- plicate Omaha prices or any and everything n our line, Our trade covers the territory 100 miles in_every direction from Council Bluffs and Omaba, and we will save you mouey on every purchase made and guar- antee satisfaction. Mail orders receive prompt attention, Couxcir BLurrs Canrer Co,, 407 Broadway, Council Bluffs, THE COLUMBI A Glance Through the Finest Sample Room, Billlard Parlor and Cigar Stand in the West., On next Saturday ovening *“The Colum- bia,"" the finest sample room, billiard parlor and cigar stand in the west, in the fitting up of which Geo, Rudio has spent a mint of money, will be opened to the public. It is located at No, 28 Pearl street, next to the new Grand hotel. The work of remod- ing the building has been going on for the past two months, and the handsome ~ edifico has been trans- formed into a palace, and it will be noted far and wido as the finest place of the kind west of Chizago. Mr. Rudio has had the chief sponsibility of fitting up the palace, and his wide experience as a commercial traveler has eminently qualified him for the work. A short de ption of the interior of tho establishment will not prove uninteresting, ‘The room has been separated by massive and handsomely carved oak partitions into three divisiong, ‘the first of which contains the ofice of the proprietor and the finest cigar staud west of Chicago, The second division will be the sample room, and the third will be the billiard parlor. Mr. Rudio’s office is » model of beauty and neatness, A hand- s0me bronze w partition makes it suffi- fently exclusive without obstructing the view. A fine Brussels carpet and the beauti- ful bronzed safe, office desk anda com- fortable casy chaits give ita particularly cozy and inviting appearance. Here MF. Rudio will receive and cutertain _his friends in his most agreeable and affable style. In perfect keepmg with the eclaborate style of the office will be the cgar stand on the opposite side of the room, whick will be presided over by Messrs, Julius Unger and Renben Brown, two of the most pobular young men in the city., The cases, counter, atc., are of oak, hand carved, and no mere description of the beauty of (he work can give a correct idea of it. To be thoroughly appreciated it must be seen, The sample room in its furnishings completely eclipse anything ever seen in this city, The massive oak bar, the fine French plate glass mirrors and the beautiful paintings combine to form a picture most pleasing to the oy Another thing in connection with this fine work which is of public inportanceis the fact thatallof the woodworkis the product of J. A, Murphy's factory in this city, and is a credit to Council Bluffs artists, Mr. George Shir- ley of Chicago will be in charge of this de- partment and the public will find him a most. agreeable gentleman, thoroughly accom- plished in his line, For the amusement of the public Mr. Rudio, with an originality that does credit to one of the brightest men that ever packed a grip, has put in a new and improved phonograph which will play some of the finest pleces of Gilmore's band, and will sing the latest songs, including “‘Annio Rooney,” “Johnuie, Get _Your Hotchkiss," and the et Bye and Bye,” Last butnot least, not by a good deal, comes the billiard room. The decorations and furnishings are like those of the otner two departments, strictly elegant, There are two billiard tables and a pool table, all and as fine as _Brunswick-Collender & Co. can turn out. Mr, James Anderson has control of this department, a fact that will add not a little to its populanty. Everybody knows Jim Anderson, and tosay that he is a gen favorite, is only exprossing it mildly Taken all in all, the Columbia is a decided success, and will no doubt be a winner from the start. E y dollar's worth of material used in fitting it up was purchased and rought in Council Bluffs. The place is one in which citizens can take a pardonable pride and to which they can take visiting friends at any time with pleasure, T'n® place will be opened for the benefit of the publie, and it would be something more than a siniple outrage if fanaticism should assailit. Ithas been fitted up in deference to a pobular desire fora first-class place of rest for gentlemen, and is another indication that the time has come when fanaticism should cease. There are few men who have done more for the city in a general way than Mr. Rudio. He has been one of the most popular commercial travelers among the army wholive in this city, He earnestly hopes the public will appreciate bis efforts and give him a fair show, —— Nt the Man. Sheriff O'Connor of Palmyra, Marion county, Missouri, was in the city last even- ing for the purpose of taking charge of a prisoner who he had been notified was now in confinement in the city jail. The prisoner re- ferred to was arrested a week ago last Tues- day by Oficer Crafts and Deputy Marshal Fowler, and is now serving a ten days’ term on the streets on the charge of vagrancy. A day or two ago Marshal Templeton received a card from Sheriff O'Connor offering a re- ward of 0 for a man who had broken jail at Palmyra on January 20 while under indiet- ment of the offenses of burglary and larceny. The man in confineraent, who gave his name as William Hagan, answered the description of the mun who was wanted, and O'Connor was accordingly telegraphed to come ou and get his man. ~ When he arrived and took a look at the prisoner he found that he was not the one he wanted and left for Missouri again last evening, Ho was some- what disappointed to find that he had been to the trouble and expcose of a fruitless trip. He stated that the man he is after is a desperato chavacter, and a smooth one as well, having escaped the clutches of two other officers beside himself. He was thel fore yery anxious to get hold of him again, The officers who made tte arrest were fully as disuppointed as O'Connor, for the that they had hoped to see the color of by this time " is still in the pockets of the Mis- souri sheriff, al Elily Pure fresh drugs at Davis', opposite Ogden, i Best heavy goods, % per cent off, cash.

Attorney Seabrook has had next Saturday set as the day upon which the defendants in his liquor injunction suits shall appear before Judge Thornell to say why temporary in- junctions shall not be issued against their places, In connection with thiz announce- ment 1t may not be out of plnce to state that a certain shrewd lawyer fainks ho has solved the question of whois hacking up Mr. Sea- brook in his warfare agamst saloons, It is well known that the state temperance alli- ance, with heaaquarters at Des Moincs, has becn engaged in somo work of this kind in various parts of the state, notably at Carroll and Fort Dodge. A few ‘days ago a report was started from a source that stood very near the throne, to the eifect that Sioux City and Council ' Bluffs were to bo the next camping ground for the anti-saloonists. 'M'ne work has already been commenced in Sioux City, but uniess the present warfare is backed up by the alliance the prediction is ss yet unfilled as faras Council Bluffs is concerned. Mr. Seabrook has been very wary about letting the public Jtow who is"with him, and the present solu- ton of the mystery is looked upon by the above named atiorney as the one most likely to be the correct one.

Loxnoy, Feb. 18,—A financial dispute be- twoen factions is likely to be ono of the features of the coming Irish struggle. When $40,000 was reloased from the league fund, a month ago, §20,000 went to the campaign com- pany and $15000 to the tenants defense league, The McCarthyites say the latter sum was too much and, furthermore, contend that instead of being devoted to the evicted tenants, it was used to meet an over draft on the Hibernian bank. T. P, Gill ~ declares that McCarthy must have known when he signed the releaso that the fund set aside for the tenants was heavily overdrawn. The assert on the contrary left Bologne belioving the money was to be devoted to_the cvicted to ly. The question arises whether thore was & miscon- ception at the conference, or whether O'Brien thought he was acting within the lines of the agrecment in adjusting the bank count, McCarthyites Insist on the declaration that the fund be used for tenant In an interview arthy denies the story of a liberal subsidy of 20,000 for his party.

At Johnstown the loss is great, the founda- tions of many houses having been unaer- mined. Street cars are running again and the mills will open tomorrow. The destruc- tion of the bridges was a serious loss, as the different sections of tho city will have no communication by wagon for some time. The farming communities below are heavy losers. A dispatch from Wheeling, W. Va., says the river is still vising tonight, but it is re ported from above to have begun falling. The damage in Wheoling is great. The whole of Wheeling island, Seventh ward, is flooded and, tonight, most of its 4,000 inhabitants arc sleeping in another part of the city. In South Wheeling hundreds of working- men’s houses and several factories are inun- dated, and in the business center many whole- sale houses are flooded.
