Aseach newcomer ascended the stairs he was offered one of the flags, and by the time the president's gavel called the meeting toorder at§ o'clock the room resembled a section of a Fourth of July celabration. The meaning of this demonstration became apparent when Member Hunter moved that the citizons be allowed to state what was their object in turning jout fenmasse, and K. L. Shugart stepped forward with the follow- ing resolution for the consideration of the board : cus, The public freo school is th wark of this ropublio, and in it are edu the future men and womcn of the nation. and reas, The flag of the unlon represonts loftiest sentiments of patriotism; there- tore bo it Resolved, That we, citizens of Council Bluffs, respectfully and oarnestiy request tho Sehool board of the Independent school dis- trict of the city of Councli Bluffs to displuy the stars und stripes upon all the public school buildings within the city to the end thit the puplis of our schools may bo taught 1o look upon the flag as an object lesson, rep- resenting ull that Isgood und grand fu human government. Mr. Shugart made a few remarks in sup- port of this resclution, during which a couple of representatives of the Grand Army and the Union Veteran Legion advanced to the outer door of the room, each holding the flag of his society. Mr, Shugart's speech was reeted with applause from the members of he board and the citizens who were present. Superintendent Sawyer was called on and respouded in a brief but eloquent speech, at the close of which he was applauded to the echo, The resolution was then merged into an- other, which was presented by Schoentgen, making such an_appropriation as should be necessary to purchaso flags of the regulation size nad flag staves for each school ouilding in the city, and authorizing the committee on buildings ‘and grounds to procure the flags and have them swung to the breczes on each building atonce. Theold soldiers anda citi- zens thanked the members of the boara for the prompt action it bad taken and left the room.

Ho then moved that the petition asking for the sub- mission of the question of putting up a building at or near the intersection of Madi- son streot anda Graham avenus be granted. This was also carried, and a resolution adopted providing that the question of vot- ing bonds to the amount of $15,000, or so much thereof as shoulil be necessary for the pronosed building, should be laid before the people at the coming election ‘Tbe annual report of T. Weis, treasurer of the aistrict, was presented. It showed the expenditures in the various funds to have been as follows: Teach $485,445.115 con- tingent, including fuel and janitor's salaries, $20,280.79; school house, = $24,423.23.

Theappointment was confirmed. Superintendent Sawyer reported that the organization of & shorthand and typewriting department in the High school had provea a very successful venture, as about thirty pupils had enrolled =0 far and a-number who had left because the regular High school course was not practical enough had re- turned. ‘I'he secratary was instructed to publish tho notices of the school election, make up the registration books, and make arrange- ments for the use of the same polling places as those used for the city election.

The city engineer reported in favor of building a bridge over Indian croek uear the Hammer property, in the eastern part of the The clerk was authorized to advertise for bids for a bridge, to be presented on or before February 22. Architects Schmook and Bell prosented plans for remodeling the city ball, which were referred to the special committee, Chairman Brown of the judiciary commit tec reported as to soveral petitions that hud been presented by widows asking for remis sion of taxes, that the committee declined to look nto the question whother the widows wero deserving or not. After some discussion it was decided that special taxes could not be remitted. The question of remitting tho other taxes was again referred to the judiciary committee with instructions to 1e- port more definitely. The judiciary committee recommended that all paving bids presonted ut the last meeting be rejocted; adopted. Alderman Casper reported that the com- mittee of the whole had aecided that the hole on Thirty-fourth street and Broadway shoula be filled up. J. J. Crowe stated that the property owners would undertake the anh of filling it for $150. Tho subject was roferred to the committee on streets and alleys. On motion of Alderman Wooa, the mayor and the council were instructed to communi- cate with the management of the Rock Island road with a view to securing petter train service from this city eastward. A petition asking for a bridge over Indian creek at Nineteenth street, 1n the southwes ern part of the city, was referred to the com- mittee on streets and alleys. In regard to the controvery between the city and A. W. Street with reference to the continuation of Fifth avenue at the east and through some property owned by Street, Fiuley Burke, as Street's attorney, stated that he beiieved his client had a good case and would undoubtedly win 1f 1t were prose- cuted, but he was willing to compromise, and would deed the property in question to the city if the city would reduce the assess ment on the adjoining property by $1,000 Tke question will be further considered at g meeting of the council as a committee of th whole today. R.N Whittlesey, who was appointed to make a transfer of the names of voters from the Second ward to the Sixth, in accordance with the change in the ward boundaries, re- portea that 106 registered voters were found in the territory that had been changed from one ward to the other, and that fifty-four voters were found in the same territory that had not gbecn registered. If this be adopted as a basis for computing the number of unregistered voters 10 the city, thore are about 5,000 more voters than are shown by the books, and this fact was callled attention to by Alderman Casper as an indicaiion that the city was increasing in population, The clerk was instructed to notify the registrars in the two wards to make the necessary changes in their books. The marshal was instructed to cause the parties who are living the streets in Ferry addition to move at ouce in order that the streets and alloys may be opened to public travel, and to arrest all who refused to obey his order. After some business of minor importance had been transacted the council adjourned until next Tuesday evening. ——— No Doubt About Tt.

There is an impression floating around the city that & number of gambling houses are now doing business in various quarters, not s0 publicly perhaps 8s at some previous times in the history of the city, but still they are holding their doors open to give unwary grangers a chance to drop their hard earned dollars into the jaws of the festive tiger. 'Thero is an upstairs room on Pearl street which is pointed out by some kuowing ones as a place where this animal can be bucked, and the fact that anumberof well known ex-gamblers are seen frequently entering or emerging from the door lends some color tothe report. Another place on Broadway is also said to be used every night in the week, including Sundays and legal holidays, as a resort for nrofessional gamblers and their victims, and persons who have been on the nside, but hove had cause to regret the fact, state that a full set of gambling devices is on hand. There aro a number of poker rooms scattered about the city, so that those who wish to woo fickle fortune cannot complain of lack of oppor- tunities, One well known gambler made a cool gain of $1,800 the other night at one of these joints, but everything did not coma his way, for the next night he droppea a §i00 roll of bills. That these places are doing business right along is pretty well known by the citizens at large, but the police do not seem to have learned of it yet, as there has been no attempt at raiding the joints for several months, Ewcnson Music Ce., Masonic temple e Mrs. M.

John- L EASTBOUND FREIGHT SHIPM Business Was Not Brisk During the Week ~Southern Rates Disturbed, Cuicaco, 1L, Feb, 15 —Eastbound ship- ments of freight continue heavy as compared with one year ago, though last week's state- ment shows a falling off as compared with preceding week. The total number of tons carried last week by all ines was 8,808, while during the preceeding week the aggre- gate was 105,250 wns. During the corres- pouding period last year it was 71,440 tons. Southbound passenger rates are 1n danger of being disturbed on account of the special rates established for the Mardi (iras festival at New Orleans, Toe Illinois Central and the Chicago & Eastern Illinos roads had agreed between themselves that rates to Mobile should not be affected, and that none but the regular winter transit rates should apply to that point. It seems, however, that the * Cinclupati & Jacksonville road puts in the snwe rate 0 Mobile as to New Or leaus —§25. Ou learning this the Chicago & Eastero lllinois withdrew from its agree ment with the lilinols Central aud announced & $24 rate o Mobile, jusufying its action by asserting that the Mobile rate was alwavs §1 velow the New Orleans rate. The lllinois Central applied to Chairman Finley for relief and was authorized to take similar action. Iuis feared that further cuts will be made. 1LY BEE GRAND ARMY DEPARTMENT Qualifications of General Dilworth for the Position of Commarder, i A CREDITABLE RECORD AS' A FIGHTER. Varions Meas Ing in % Affecting Veterans Pend- ment at Colunibis, SUPERIOR, Neb., Feb. 12,—General C. J. Dilworth of Hastings is prominent in the minds of the Grana Army of the Republic boys in this section of the stato for department commander. In conversation with a number of them I find that the love for the veteran gen- eral is strong among his comrades, and one who has served with him upon many a battle field and has seen the general's courngo and patriotism tested in the thickest of the fight, suys that no man in the state is better qualified by his record to lead the boys back to the eity of Washington to the grand encamp- ment of 1892 than is he who was carried from the battle field of Jonesboro, Ga., severely wounded while leading his brigade ngainst the shots of the cele- brated Willmington ten-gun battery and Pat Cleaborn’s old brigade, which® was considered the flower of the southern army, The choice of General Dilworth would urouse the enthusinsm of every veteran in the west. Ep. ApAMs. Mensures in Congress, Mr.Henderson of Iowa, has introduced a bill to amend section three of the act entitled **An act granting pensions to soldiers and sailors who ave incapaci- tated for the performance of manual labor, and providing for pensions to widows, minor childrer, and dependent parents,” It provides that the first clause of saction 3 of the act ap proved June 27, 1890, be so amended as to make pensionable the widow, without other present means of support than her daily labor, or the minor children the age of 16 years, of any officer or enlisted man who served ninety days or more in tha army or navy of the United States during the war of the rebellion, and who died in the service while on indi- vidual furlough, or while otherwise ab- sent, without leave, from the technical line of duty, excepting only e of death which shall have occurred during desertion from the service. Section 2, Thut the first proviso of section 3 of the act of June 27,1890, be 80 amended and construed as to admit to the pension roll, in acedrdance with the provisions of said act, all ‘‘insane, idiotic, or otherwise helpless children,” of dect d soldiers or sailors, without regard to the age of such children; and the pensions thus granted shall continue during life or during the period of such disability of said children, from and after the date of application therefor, after the passage of this act. A bill to increase the pension of those who have lost the sight of both eyes to $100 per month. A bill to amend the act approved March 4 1890, so as to give $50 a month to soldiers periodioally totally helpless. The Sherman Mo ment, The Grand Army of the Republic, the Loyal Legion and the Society of the Army of the Tennessee are uniting in an effort to raise a fund for o monument to General W. T. Sherman. When this fund is raised it will probably be in- creased by a congressional appropria- tion, so that the proposed monument will be of a character befitting the man whose deeds it will commemorate. Itis not expected that the subserip- tions will be individually large; it is better indeed that they be small and muny—offerings which can be made without proving burdensome to the giver, while at the same time giving them a part in the work which is to tes tify their aamiration and love for thei old commander. From 5 cents up, is the suggestion of the committees, and a nickel from some broken down old sol- dier whose worldly wealth is small will be just as acceptable us the larger amounts given by the more prosperous It’s the sentiment and not the size of the contribution that counts. Subscriptions from the Grand Army will be made through the various posts, from the Loyal Legion through the various com- manderics, and from the Army of the Tennessee through that society. Soldie il L} Wil An odd will was filed at the probate office in Auburn, Me., on Tuesday, says the Kenebec Journal. It was that of Elisha Ball of Minot, and was dated in 1867, but the maker of the will had out- lived all the witnesses to it, and it had to be proved from the handwriting of the man who drew it. It was the first case on record of the kind. The maker, Elisha Ball, was an old citizen of Minot and served in the late war. On one occasion he was severely wounded in battle, and when the men were gathering up the wounded they camo along to him, examined him, and were going to pass him by, “Take me along,” he said. **You can’t live,” was the reply. *Ican, and will,” he said, and 80 earuest was he that the men picked him up. That was twenty-eight years ago, and Elisha lived not only to male his will but to survive all the wit- nesses of it, and that, document, too, a quarter of a century. .~ Not a change had been made in the puper from the day it was drawn. neoln's position| fn history is se- cure,” writes A K/ McClure of the Philadelphia Times, /‘but it 18 doubtful whether the impartial- historian of the future will give MaClellan his full measure of justice.

The doctor never wore ang | shoulder straps nor sword, but then he went in at the beginning and carried a musket until a plece of shell struck him in the head, on tho peninsula, and he had to get to the rear. At His First Battle, “How did you feel in your first battle? was asked of a veteran who now, with the record of forty battles behind him, is neither a pensioner nor an office holder, says the Chicago Herald. “Well, I was frightened, I suppose,” replied the soldie “Tell us about it.* He was by no means anxious for the tagk, but they urged him, and he be gan: I was with the army of General Thomas there at Chattanooga in the fall of 1868, when General Bragy, with o splencid army, had us cornered and was slowly starving us to death, When Grant came we were told there would be plenty of fighting. We weve in no condition to fight, for we were in rags, and many were sick with scurvy There was no ammunition, and we did not possess a single position from which the enemy could be attacked. It seems that as Grant was coming forward he tele- graphed back for ammunition, clothing and small rations, and the very day of his arrival these were issued to the army. You can have no idea how it strengthened and encouraged us. Where we had been weak and dispirited before we were now active and full of energy, and all we asked was to be led against the enemy “*But, really, when orders came to nd- vance, I confess the courage was cooled very noticeably. One thing was thatthe movement began in the night. Along in the evening our company was ordered to report for rations, and the first hint we had of how long the fight would last was when we received ten days’ fons, Ammunition was next issued, ana we were kept moving. I well recollect I had left a waterproof blanket bebind,in- tending to get it before we finally slarted: But as soon as the cartridges were drawn, and without breaking ranks, they marched us straight down to the riv Many o night afterward I wanted that blanket, but [ never saw it again. Down the river ana along tho ky bank. over a road that was diffi- cult enough in day time, we went tumbling along. “Presently, u8 I rose to the top of a little hill I saw a lot of boats just ahead at the river's edge, and the soldiers climbing in them. There wasa jam of men before me. They could not embak rapidly enough. Some were in the water wading and trying to clamber first into one boat and” then in another. Some lost their guns. After awhile we wers afloat and drifting down, crowding together—the whole river full. No one kuew where we were going. “Some one said: ‘It is getting day- light!” The east was hecoming red. While 1 watched it, hulf kneeling in the boat, [ some firing just above on left bank, and then there wasa r the boats ahead and a loosening of Pretty soon every oae was along the shore and climbing up on the bank. Not evon the company officers knew where we were goingr. But there we were, all shore, and forming in something like a line, but irregular and crowded, and with companies and companies that I never had seen bufore. No one heard a command, but yet we were going for- ward. Just before sunrise I passed a group of rebel: There mvst have been fif “That's the picket guard we cup- some one said. 1 hadn’t known we haa - captured any one. At aylight we were .mu?pud, though there had been no formal orders that any ono heard. Men ahead were sitting around on the ground and fences and rocks eating. We all fell to eating. too. 'hen thore was a forward movement, and all the army—it looked like 5,000 men—was ma:ching rapidly. Lookout Mountuain towered up there on the left. Rebel works reached clear down to the valloy. The sun was very hot. Some of the men wanted water. My canteen was quite empty. I wondered why I had not filled it at the river. “All of a sudden the air seemed to burst, to shatter with a volley of artillery. A hill on our left, hali way 10 the mountain, was occupied by a rebel buttery. They were firing right into our column. The soldiers just ahead of us were running out of the road up toward the cannon. Our company ran out of the road, too. The ground sloped up easily. The guns were about a quarter of & mile awa, They kept on firing. Now, for the first time, I saw some one was hit here and there in our troops. 1 could tell by the littie diversion it would cause. Men would look to & common center, where all behind would part and hurry around, looking at the ground in that center. Just before us stretehed a thick piece of low, stunted timber. [ could not see the battery, but I heard it constantly. The shots were tearing through the trees, Some one sufd they hud another battery in the woods, We were panting from the run. Now and then a soldier would loosen his blanket or his knap- sack and let it roll away. “We were in the timber. A man was killed vight in front of me. He fell, strugeling and trying to rise, but muk- ing no cry. A soidier lifted his canteen strap from his neck and ran on, taking u drink from the full supply. [ thoughtit was a horrid and brutal thing to do, but the soldier ran on slipping his own head and arm through the canteen strap. *Out on the other side of the woods. There was no battery there. But the one up on the hill seemed terribly near. It was firing with dreadful regularity. Soldiers from three sides were running up that hill, Some were shouting. It oceurred to me we were in great dan- ger, I wondered more of us were uot hit. We were in range of the muskets, The first volley fuirly swept the wd- vanced runners from the ground. As wo ran on we passed dead and wounded men every fow steps. [ was terribiy tived. My lungs seemed bleeding. Tho breath came in painful gasps, “The shouting now increased to a roar, and the sound of musketry changed from & volley to u ragged, continual dis- charge. Part of it was from our own men. Several soldiers near me took dim and fired at the guns. just pausing an instant in tho run, Others jerked up their guns and fired at vandom, with- out even taking aim, For the first time I saw my captain. He was away ahead, It occurred to me we ought to be near him, aud I tried to overtake him. The ground was level. The cannons were si- fent. The shouting fell away. A good many of our men were clambering over the earthworks between the guns. 1 lost the captain, and got over the purapet. Our men were mixed ail up with Johuny rebs. One could tell them apart by the clothing. But neither side was fighting. Some of the revels were gathering up bits of personal be longings. Most of our fellows were sit- ting down on the ground or anythi else und panting. Pretty soon the r broughttheir arms and stacked them up without much order, and then they gath- ered in & rather compact group on ono side. Our fellows kept coming over the earthworks or around through the open- Deere, Wells&0o Agrionltnral Implements Wagons, buggtes, ete.. South Main 8 Councll Rluffs. | Russell & Co,, | KeystoneMfg.

They also say we buried 140 rebels that night—a thing I remember and wish I could forget. We are credited with more than 100 rebels captured. The af fair is spoken of as a gallant fight and one of the most important to General Grant in his manceuvres for the defeat of Bragg. I huve been in a good many battles since, of course, and while in many of them the dead and wounded wero in sight more thickly, yet I saw very little move of the battle. *The fact is, no man sees a battle. A combining of reports after it is all over gives the world the story, but the fellows who are deopest in are in the poorest position to tell about it.” pres Death of a Famous Soldfer, General Henry A. Barnum, port- warden of the city of New York, died of pneumonia at his residence in that city Friday morning, Januavy 20. Tho dis- ease was the result of a bad cold caught ata ball aud developed rapidly until the end came in less than a week. General Barnum, who earned his title by bril- liant services in the civil war, was born in Onondaga county, New York, in 1833, and was educated at Syracuse, teaching there later in the Syracuse institute until he was admitted to the bar in 1856, In 1861 he enlisted as a private, but was elected captain of Company I of the Twelfth New York regiment, and be- came a major on General Wadsworth's staff in the fall of that year. Later he re joined his regiment and served with it through the peninsula campaign, At Malvern Hill'a bullet pierced his nb- domen and he was left for deud on the field, Later abody supposed to be his was sent to his home, a funera! oration pronounced over it, and interred in his family lot. General Barnum had been captured and put in a hospital, where he recovered enough to be sent to Libby prison, from which place he was exchanged and sent hom His promotion to a coloneley followed bis exchange, and ut Gettysburg and Lookout Mountain he led his regiment, At the latter fight he wis severely wounded, but found com- pensation in the eleven battle flags his regiment captured. He was wounded once more in the Atlanta campaign, but commanded a brigade in Sherman’s march to the sea, and was the first officor to enter Savannsh, In Murch, 1865, he wus breveted a major genoval, and in 1866 declined o coloneley in the rcgu lar urmy nnd soon afterward resigned. He was” made inspector of prisons for New York state, was deputy tax com- missioner from 1860 to 1872, and harbor master of New York city for five years. In 1885 he wasa member of the New York legislature, and in 1889 Governor Hill appointed him harbor master again, The senute had refused to confirm any other nomination of Hill for this place, Jighteen months ago congress voted neral Baroum a gold medal for gen- eral bravery during the war, and about the same time General Sherman presid- ed ata dinner given him, at which Chauncey M. Depew presented him a gold watch on behalf of his friends, ote Ouumwa is already making claborate prepuvations for the encampment of the lowa departments, Grand y of the Republie, to be held there May 10, 11 and 12 The presence of distinguished soldivrs from other parts of the union is assu . ‘Thirteenth annual encampment of the Colorado and Wyoming department, Graud Army of the Republie, will be held in Boulder, Colo., A pril 26 aska encampinent at Columbus, ebruary 17. - - re was buroed at tho stake Joan of. on Friday, BUYER'S W.
