The petition. which is very voluminous, states that judgments were secured in the surperior court last Avrl against Henry Riseman & Co. by the following parties and for the following amounts: Arnold, Constable & Co., §2,847.47; Oppenheim, Collins, & Co., 3905.50; Switzer & Schussel, #203.95; R, Blankenburg & Co., £1.557.40: L.

I'he whole story of the assignment of the firm of Eiseman & Co. is then gone over in dotail, with exhibits of the various mort- gages and trust deeds that prededed the as- signment, and the nssignment itself. It is alleged that the mortgages and the assign- ment were fraudulent and executed for the express purpose of giving the preference to the fivms of Rice, Stix & Co., Stix, Krause & Co., and Oflcer & Pusey, who are made co- defendants The plaintiffs alloge that the Eisemans are 10 reality the owners of the stock and fix- tures of the clothing store of which L. Ot- tenheimer is the nominal owner, at 414 Broadway, and that Ottenbeimer holds it for the burpose of concealing it from the creditors of the firm. hey further claim that 8. P. MacConnell, the assignee of the bankrupt firm, kuows the purpose of the assignment and the chattel mortgages and knows that tho Eisemans are the real owners of Ottenheimer’s stove, but that ho refuses to take stops to set aside the mortgages or the assignment. The petition al- legos that personal property to the amount of £71,000 was sold and paid over to MacConnell \d is now held by him on account of notices of garnishment. On tbese grouuds the plaintiffs asi that the mortgages and the ussignment be sot aside, and that Ottenheimer's place be declared to belong to Eiseman & Co., and that it be placed in the hands of tha creditors: that the money in the hands of tho assicnca may be declared subject to tho liens of the plaintiffs, aud that all the property may be sold and the proceeds turned iuto court for the benefit of the creditors. — Use Haller's German Pills, the great co n stipation aud liver regulator, furniture, carpets, stoves and hovsehold goods of Mandel & Klein, Council Blu Prices very low; freight prepaid to your city. 11-4 all wool, #5.00, worth Buy your The C.

A MODEL BUILDING How the New Shug, Block Looks Since Its Transformation and the Lusy People Who Iniabit 1t For the past three months workmen have been engaged in remodeling the Shugart block, one of the most promi- nent and imposing buildings in the city. It was built about eight years ago, largely for commercial purposes, with the upper storics devoted to large apartments and halls, but before the era of modern conveniences. It was one of the best blocks in the ecity commence with and last spring Me. E. L. Shugart decided to add every improvement that could bo suggested” or required. The work of remodeling was begun at the top, and the transformation was contin- ued to the basement. The work has been finished and the result is one of the finest commercial and office buildings in the west. The block could not be better situated, having a fron » on three of the best streots in tho city, Main, Pearl and First avenue, on the opposite corner from the Grand hotel and facing that pride of the city and envy of all other cities, Buyliss park. The chunges in- cluded the cutting up of the ldrge hall on the fourth floor formerly used by the Towa business college, the remodeling of the oftices on the lower floors and the addition of a rapid passenger elovator at the Pearl street entrance. In addition to these improvements ave all the mad- ern conveniences, steam heat, water, gas, electric lights, baths, lavatories, closets, ete, All the oM to & or u majority of are en suite. Each floor is with a double vault, there being seven vaults altogether, giving each tenant the use of a burglar and fire proof coptac e for his valuables, The exten- sive frontage gives every office und suite outside windows with street views and plenty of air and sunshine. All the windows are protected with bard wood iaside blinds. Thore are few smull offi- ces in the building, but all of them are airy and comfortable, Unlike many oftice buildings, where what should have been simply & four-story structure is di- vided into six or seven floors, the coilings in the Shugart building ave twelve and fourteen fect hiwh. The halls are all wide and well lighted with skylights that carry the sunshine down to the second floor. The wall nomentation is rich and modest, and the woodwork is handsomely carved um)l them, provided or- moulded. The apartments are 8o con- veniont and desirable thgemll but four have been taken by busitiéd and profes- sional men on long ledsed, and the re maining ones will not be, vacant long, The block has two entrances, the eleva: tor on Pearl street andia broad, easy ! stairway on Main street. Adjoining the clevator ‘and_opposite the Grand hotel on the ground foor is the commodious suite of ,0Mces oceupied by Day & Hess. I J. Day is one of the pionecr real estate brokers of the city, and a short time ago he widened the scope of his business by/forming a part- nership with Mr. J. P\ Hess, a name familiar to all old residents of wustern fown, and stocks, bonds, securities, ete., are now handled. They have elegant quarters, and their business is as per- manent as their loeation. There is no firm in the west that stands in closer touch with eastern capital or whose business covers a wider territory. Occupying offi in the same apart- ments is the Manawa Ice company, a heualthy organization that has grown into adult proportions in the last senson. It is the only company in tho Twin Cities that handles lake ice, the clearest and purest crystal to be obtained any where. During the Ast season five wagons have been insufticient to fiil the orders of their Council Bluffs custome E pound of the thousands of tons packud last winter will bo soid at retail this summer. They control the Lanke Manawa harvest, and next winter they will pack for the wholesale and retail trade. A prominent suite of offices located in the basement on the Pearl street front has been leased by Edward Wright, the sgrapher and typewriter. M. it is devoting his time to legal stenographic and short hand work, and the prominence of the location has been a disadvantage to him during the sum- mer, and he has found that he could do his work better at his residence.” Sinc the changes were made the office i much pleasanter and more convenient than ever, and he has made up his mind to sub-lease it if ho can do so in the next fow weeks, It h south and west front, all conveniences, and large bank vault, and is one of thefinest oftices in the building. The lower floor on the Main street and First avenue is occupied by the Cit- izen's State bank, one of the most prom- inent banking houses in the city, and the strongest financial institution in northwestern Towa. It was established in 1882, and hus grown with the most remarkable vigor from the start. At the present time the deposits reach al- most one million dollars, and the total resources and liabilities round up al- most one and a quarter millions. The bank’s location is very pleasant, al- though the quarters are rather too small for the great volume of business transacted. The conveniences are all modern, and the vault is one of the larg- est and safest in the west. It is a some- what remarkeble fact that a larger num- ber of young men make the Citizens’ their depository than any other bunk in the city, and a " larger number of coun- try banks do their business. through it thian through any other financial insti- tution in the western part of the state. The Council Bluffs Insurance company occupies a finely situated suite of apart- ments on the second floor, and their rcoms are filled with the desks of as busy a set of clerks and employes as there are in the city., The frout room facing the park on Pearl street and First avenue corner is the private office of President A. T. Flickinger, and ad- joining are the offices of IFlickinge Brothors, attorneys for the company. The large central room with half a dozen windows opening on the main work room of the company, and at the largest desk near the center of the row sits Secretary J. Q. Anderson, who is perhaps the hardest worker in the en- tice building. The company is ono of the strongest in the state, and none stands S0 high in the estimation of the public. It is one of the institutions that Counecil Bluffs is particularly proud of. It has made a record for prompt and honor- able settlement of losses that places It at the front and has created the conviction that every just loss will be paid to the last penny, and without annoying delay. There record of business ~transacted during the first half of the present year shows very satisfactory results and is the strongest proof of the popularity of the company. Premiums written up to June 31, 1891, amount to $29,644.07, and the losses paia from January to June were $5,000.17. When it is recollected that the greater partof this business comes from people in and around Council Bluffs where the company is best known it affords the strongest pos- sible evidence of the solid popularity of the compuny Roowms 206-7-8-9 on the southeast cor- ner on the second floor form the offices of Attorneys Sims & Saunders. They are pleasantly situated overlooking Main street and First avenue and comprise as finely arranged law office as there is in the city. The front room on Main street is the private office of Mr. Sims and ad- joining it is that of Mr. Saunder Both of these apartments are very cozy and contain the general libeary of the firm and the private books of the members. Their library is one of the targest in the city. The other rooms are the work- shops of the employes of the firm, W. L. Bainbridge, who has charge of the col- lections, and H. E. Beach, stenographer. The furniture in all the rooms is modest and rich and the carpets are heavy and luxuriant Occupying cosy apartments on the sec- ond floor, Dr. M. H. Chamberlain, the well known eyo and ear specialist, meets his patients during office hours. He is a pleasant, cultured gentleman, and his reputation as a specialist in the tre ment of eye and ear diseases is second to none inthe west, and he can refer to a larger number of delicate surgical op- erations that have resuited in saving vision or restoring hearing than any other surgeon in the state. Thr fter- noons each week he ig called to Omaha as consulting surgeon. with Dr. Allen, the Nebraska specialist, in the Rumg block.

The other apartments of the suite are devoted 10 the use of the law firm of Stone & Dawson. The junior member, Mr. T. C. Dawson, is one of the brightest young wen in the state. He is a graauite of Harvard and has com- pleted a course in the Cincinnati law school. As a finishing touch to his edu- catfon he has spent n year and a half in newspaper work in the office of the Des Moines Register, and engages in his chosen profession in Council Bluffs with the brightest possible prospects.

In a cozy apartment, with silken curv- tains at the windows and rOsS the hall from Colonel Stone's of- fices, the Commercial Pilgrims of America have their supreme council of the world. The headquarters comprise the general offices of the asso- ciation and the office of Supreme Secre- v A, W. Johnson. Across the w hallway and at the elevator landing are the doors leading into the Royal Arca- num hall, the most beautiful hall in the state, and it is here that the Commer- cinl Pilgrims hold their meetings. In addition to this a handsome room is fitted up as a parlor, which is open day and night for tho benefit of the members.
