The throwing of such a stock of goods on the market was enough to attract wide attention, and they consequently declined ofticious offers of service by some alleged adver- tising solicitors. Among them was a young man who claimed to represent the Council Bluffs department of an Omaha paper. His extravagant offers firmly but courteously de- ned, but the refusal to give him ad- vertising mude him angry, and his anger led him into the blunder of attacking the character of the sale.

NEWS FROM COUNCIL BLUFIS Rather Lurid Hue Given the School Election by Some Intense Partisans, ATTACKS ON CANDIDATE SCHOENTGEN Two Libel Suits Started the Publication of an Electi Heavy Vo Result, n Day Cireuiar Cast One of the important factors in the school election, which occurred yesterday. was a paper about half the size of one of the city papers, printed on one side, and scattered broadcast over the city. 1t was called “The F'reo Public Schools,’” and consisted of about four columns of editorials intended to kuock out the democratic candidates. One column of this paper was devoted to an arraignment of the Catholic church and the democratic candidates, who were chareed with being in a combination with it, while the rest consisted of vigorous denunciations of Candidate Schoentgen. He was charged with having been a party to a school boar ght which had nearly destroyed the city school system, forcing himself on the board of election judges in the IVifth ward, favoring corporeal punishment and extravagant ox- penditures of public funds, usiog profane language in the bourd mectings and in the preseuce of tho school teachers, and using the districy funds while his partner, Mr. Groneweg, was trensurer of the board. in connection with his privato business without ever payiug the board any interest for the use of it, or even making & full accounting for the money which was thus placed in the hands of I'reas urer Gironeweg for keeping. Will Muke Some One Smart. The last charge stuck in Mr, Schoentgen’s oraw and it _was only a fow hours after the boys had fimshed distributing the vaners until Mr. Schoenigen was on the war path for the author of the charges Without wuch difficulty he succeeded in learn- ing that the printing of the papers had been done in tne Non- pareil ofice. An admssion to this effoct was gotten out of the proprictors of that paper, and a short time later the manag- ing editor ‘and the business manager were each served with a notice that a suit to re- cover $10,000 damages forlibel would be com- cod {n tho district court on or before March 25. A hand-bill denouncing the auth- ors of the sheet was also issued by Mr. Schoentgen and circulated all over the city and especially at the polling places. The war is on, however, and if the state- monts of thoso who are concerned in the case are to be believed, some interesting disclos- ures moy be looked for. Schoentgen savs he will make the publishers of the Nonpareil prove every statemont made in the sheet, and will' spend the rest of his duys, if need pe, in giving them a foretaste of the torrid atmosphoro of the horeafter.

All day long the casting of votes in the various wards went merrily on, and when the polls closed'at 6 in the evening the num- ber of votes cast fell only a lttle short of hat of last Monday, 1t was generally ex- pected that a much larger vos would be polled than is usuzlly the case in school olec- tions, but the result oxceeded the most sanguine expectations. It was almost im- possible to guess what the resuit would be with any degree of certainty, oven after the polls had closed, by reason of the queer com- plications that had arisen in the coutest. A great deal of scratching of ballots was done, and the only thing that was certain was that the propositiou to issue bonds in the sum of $15,000 for a new school house near the cor- ner of Madison street and Graham avenue was carried by a large majority. ——— A Lightning Artist, Prof. Heerley of New York, who is making a tour around the earth exhib- iting his wonderful skill with brush and palette, will spend Wednesday after- noon at the Boston store, Council Bluffs, He will use one of the large show windows for his studio and will perform some feats in oil painting that will be simply astounding, pawmting a large picture in brilliant colovs in ten minutes, He has already painted a large number of pictures for the Boston store people, uuA together with those that he will paint on Wednesduy, they will be given to patrons of the store.

The result justifies the almost extravagant assertion of Mr. Kerney, forthe naturally fine rooms have been given a decoration that makes them artistically perfect. Mr. Long, in his designs, has shown an originality that is pleasing, and saw that they were executed with faultless skill.

Sheafe, Broandway and Main, sl i NEW BOOKS AND PERIODICALS “Conscience,” by Hector Malot, is wmuch more than a mere novel; it is a literary gem of the first water. It hasa weil conceived plot and the characters are delineated with a fidelity to nature that makes the story irre- sistiole. The hero, an ambitious young doc- tor, tinding himself very much embarrassed in a flnancal way and having pleaded 1in vain for a loan from an old money londer, the idea suddenly occurs to him that he could easily obtain what he is so much in need of by getting away with the aged usurer and helping himself to the cid man's cash, The doctor dees uot believe in conscience nor has he any religious scruples. He therefore speedily determines upon a plan of killing the money lender and loses no time in carry- ing it out. The man whom he muraers leads a very solitary life and has but few visitors at night so that the doctor argues to himself that as be is a skilled physician he ought not to have much trouble in destroying the old usurer with rapiaity and in such & maoner that his vicum will be deaa befors he can obtain help. Evervthing favors the mur- derer, and he gets possession of the money he risked so much for, but he finds tbat through one fatal blundér on his part another vair of eyes besides his own and the old wan's witnessed his performance of the ghastly doed. After regarding the situation from every poict of view he decides that he must also slay this witness before he can feel hiwself secure.

The pointat issue finally was one of grand or petit larceny, The counsel for the defendant made the in- genious plea that the bill wus an Indian bill, id - worth $1.95 and therefore was below the limit of petit larceny, $5 being that limit. The juiy seemed quite impressed by the argument, when the counsel for plaintiff rose, and in the pecuiiar deawl and nasal intonation characteristic of his speech said: ‘Gentleman of tho jur) if any one of you was to take that In dinny $5 bill to market, there's not a butcher there that would not be glad to take it at pa=a-ar. If you was to go to any of the stores on the square here they’d be willing and more’n willing to take it at pa-a-ar; but this menn, con founded sneak couldn’t afl to steal it at pi The jury rendered a verdiet of ‘guilty of grand “After General Shields had chal- lenged Mr. Lincoln, and before the pre- liminaries had been arranged, Mr. Lin- coln came into my father’s office. He aid: ‘I don’t like this duel busi- ness. It is very foolish, but I can’t show the white feather,and 1 don’t know what T oughv to do.' My father said: ‘Lincoln, you are the challenged par and can choose the weapons, Choosa broadswords, and Ull be qualified Shields will never fight you.” Mr, Lin- coln was very much amused with the notion, and instructed his second to name broadswords as the weapons. ‘When the seconds met und broadswords were proposed, General Shield’s demurred. He said, ‘Barbarous we pons for the nineteenth century ' Mr. Lincoln’s second, ‘they are harb: ous, so is dueling, for that matter. [t is just ns well to have the whole thing of a piece,” or words to that effect. When the time for the duel came, my grandfather, father, Dr. Merrymun and some others went to the scene of action. 1n those days stage conches were the only public conveyances overland, and the party had to spend at least one night on the way The men, as was not uncommon in those days, found very limited accommoda- tions, so four, I think, had to sleep in a bed. My father said that during the night he found himself in very narrow quarters as to the shoulders, while be- low there seemed ample room to expa- tiate. In the morning he discovered that his right-hand bedfellow, a perfect stranger, had lost his leftleg. Dr. Mer- ryman called out in the night to my grandfather, ‘Wake up, Bledsoe; wuko up.’ Grandpa said, ‘Dr. Mercyman, are you a doctor and don’t know that when a man snores it is a sign that he is asleep, not that lie is dying?’ ‘Yes, I know,’ smd the doector.” *‘When most men snore, L know it is a sign that they are asleep; but when you snore 1t is a sigm that nobody else in the house: but yourself is asleep.’ ““The news of the proposed duel was noised abroad, and a crowd had collected on the Tilinois side of the river, await- ing the return; it seemed to this merry party that the termination of this threatening affair weuld be unbearably flat if they just came home and an- nounced an apology as the ‘upshotin the end.” Sothey puta log of wood pros- trate in the bottom of the canoe, covered it over with General Shields’ cloak, or something equally effective, and then clustered around the supposed victim of the fight, one fanning, another support- ing, ete., till thecrowd gathered on the opposite bank was worked up to a great pitch of excitement und sympathy. ‘When the log was lifted out the dueling party had eflectunlly turned the laugh from themselve: and the Duel he Tl Amicus Curie, Chicago Tribune: “The charge against you, M. Kiljordan,” said the police magistrate, looking at him sternly over his spectacles, “is that of boisterous, profane swearing on the public streets of this city. Have you anything to say?” Nothing, your honor,” replied the prisoner. *U'm guilty, 1 had just paid my gas bill.” The magistrate pushed his spectacles up to the top of his head and leaned over the desk in front of him, Ir.
