There will be about 10,000 books needed and other supplies in propor- tion. Among other items, the amount of ink is estimated at 100 gallons, the amount of legal cap at fifty reams and the number of slates at 1,200, A large saving will be made to the parents of school children by the new scheme.

C.Graham's un shop on Broadway there is on exhibition | a magnificent gold badge, which was won by Mr. Wilson Dun at the regular semi- monthly shoot of the Council Bluffs rifle club at Rohrer's park Friday afternoon, Mr, Duncan hias won the badge now three times in suceession, and he is beginning to feel a sort of proprie erest in it. His score on Friday showed 67 points gained out of a possible 100, This was a trifie thun on | Al the two preceding occasions, which is ac sunted for by the fact that it was a very | windy day, and all the recorus were couse quently (ower than usual The Counel Blufs Riffe club, by the way is quite an institution. It numovers abou thirty members at present, and at least ten of them are first class shots. Shooting matches take place every two weeks and the winner of the badge holds it each time until deprived of it by some more successful com petitor. Mr. Duncan states that be thinks o team could be selected from the club that it would be difficult, if not impossible, to beat in a contest with a like elub from any city in Towa or Nebraska, or, for that mater, in the whole northwest Among the best shots in the club are fessrs, Tipton, the president, John Oliver, ackett, Ogden and Mulboltand. Anyone of these, Mr. Duncan says, with becoming mod esty, could beat the scores which he made or Priday, under favorable conditious, and th scores are not to be sneezed at, either. There are a numberof gentlemen in the club who do some fine work when the spirit moves them, and at other times they drop back into the ranks without having done any thing to bo proud of. They are Messrs. Ham- lin, Metealf, Matthai, Grandy, Hoffmayr and Nichols. - Tho latter is oneof the younger wembers, and is regarded by the “old as a genune prodigy. ©The thing that is uppermost in the minds of the members at the present time, is a prize snoot between the Council Bluffs club and representatives from other cities, The badge which is now worn by the successful coutestants is one that was won from the Omaha elub in 1589, ahd some way the mem bers feel s though they could beat Omaba again if they had a chance. An effort is also being made to get the ladies interested in the artof rifle shooting, and if the success is any thinglike in proportion to the eagerness with which they are trving to bring about the de- sired resuit, a ladies’ annex to the Council Bluffs Itifle club is likely to be a thing of the near future.

Detective Mitler Took in a Liner, But Mufred It. Detective Miller of the Union Pacific secrot service, narrowly escaped being the hero of a serious accident Jast night at about 9 o'clock. He was standing on the platform of an east-bound Omaha wotor train, with his as- sistant, Henry Dean. The train gave a sud- den lureh, and knocked a revolver out of Dean's pocket. The revolver fell on the form, striking on the nammer, and was, dischurged. Tne ball entered Miller's loft leg, just above the knee, and came out about two inches away, ploughing a deep furrow through the flesh, but fortunately uot inflicting a dangerous wound. 1t then proceeded on its way to the roof of the car, takiug a large crop of whiskers off the face of auother man who was standing near. Miller went to the oftice of Dr. Cleaver, where the wound was dressed. The car was well filled with some of whom were ladies, and caused something of a_sensation had gone in a different direction it might have caused something more than a seasa- tion, for it came from au enormous 4. ibre Colt's revolyer.
