A gentleman, whose clothes were not of the Iatest pattern and whose general ap- pearance reminded one of better days, cn- tered the house at the corner of Twelfth avenue and Eighth street, occupied by Mrs. Strong, and presented her with a large chunk of meat, requesting her to cook it for his supper. She did so and he ate it. After supper he decided that the Strons dom- icile was as good a place to stay as he would be apt to strike, and he announced his intention of stopping over night. Mrs. Strong ordered him out, but for reply he took off his coat and boots and made him- sgelf at home. The police were notified and the intruder was taken to the city jail and locked up for the night.

P, Barr NO NEW CASES, Smallpox Is Not Epidemic and is Not Likely to Become So. An earnest effort has been made by certain parties, and particularly by the local papers, to make it appear that Council Bluffs was on the verge of a smallpox epidemic. For several days the people were kept wrought up with excitement, expecting every day to hear that half the town was down in the clutches of the dread discase. Many who depended entirely on the local press for their information are doubtless in the same condition still. But those who heve been able and have taken the pains to make an investigation, find that the sensations that were sprung on the people were largely com- posed of wind, and they are very properly disgusted with the sources of their misin- formation. The fact is that Council Blufis has not been and is not now in any greater danger from an epidemic of smallpox than any other city that has such intimate connection with Chicago, the fountain head of tho discase. Marshal Templeton and City Physiclan Macrae have been besieged by telephone with all sorts of rumors during the last few days. To the credit of both gentlemen it should be said that they have spared no pains in_looking up all such rumors. Wherever there seemed any likeli- hood of there being anything that nee attending to they vent at it did what was nece Ninety per cent of these rumors were found to be entirely without foundation and the only harm they did was to keep up the excitement. The lack of developments of the last day or two has tended to diminish the popular anxiety, and if the daily papers will ceasc telling the people that an epidemic may be looked for at any minute it may die out as quietly as it was born. There has been but one case, and every person who associated with the unfortunate man before he was quarantingd has been put under lock and key. Since the solitary pa- tient was quarantined no one except the city physician has been ajlowed to come in or go out. The officers who are stationed at the quarantined houses do not even allow peopie to pass by on the street, but compel them to go around the block in order to avoid ail possible contamination. With all these pre- cautions being taken it seems reasonable to suppose that the small pox scare is nearing an end. Supervisor Wadsworth has had the job of buying supplies for the people who are kept under quarantine, and he has hal his hands full. One woman sent him word that she was out of everything to eat, and accompanied her request for catables with an elaborate bill of fare for him to fill. It included canned fruits and many other luxuries not usually provided by the county for its poor. The Kkind-hearted supervisor furnished her plenty of dried apples, but drew the line at canvas-back ducks and New York counts, FTH ANNIV Also Last Day of Great January Clearing Sale at Boston Store. Five years ago today the Boston began bueiness in Council Bluffs. Those years have all of them been years of suc- cess, and it is only proper to call attention at this time to the reason for the great pro- gress made, The first and most fmportant reason for this success lios in the fact that the Boston Store has always tried to give a dollar worth for every 100 cents—and often a great deal more. . The second reason Is because the Hos- ton Store spares no effort to let the peoplo Lnow what they have to sell and make it an invariable rule to ALWAYS DO A LIT- TLE BETTER THAN THE ADVERTIS MENTS PROMISE. You will find this rule applied in a practical way today, the last day of the Boston Store's great annual clear. ing sale. 75e white blankets, 48c a pair, white blankets, 77%c. blankots, $1.17. $1.00 all wool scarlet shirts, 76e.

HAWAITONONCE MORE [CONTINUED FROM FIRST PAG took up (he authority for the appointment of Commissioner Blount, citing numerous in- stances where such commissioners had been appointed. He discussed at some length Mr. Blount’s report. If Hawali was an- nexed we would have to annex San Do- mingo, or any other island which asked to be taken in, he said. We were great enough and big enough already. All we wanted was just taxation and commercjal freedom and we would be the greatest na- tion in the world. “The flag that floats above this capitol,” he concluded, ‘“is the emblem of honor and justice, and we cannot afford that a minister shall go unrebuked who has mads it an emblem of intrigue and lawlessne: we cannot afford to encourage spoliation to darken the history of the United States by acting as crusaders against a peaceful country. Let Hawail work out Its own sal- vation, and let the American republic, the champion of progress. adhere to the tradi- tions of the past, justice to all and entan- gling aillances toward none.” (Applause.) At the conclusion of McCreary's Mr. speech, Mr, Blair offered an amendment to the McCreary resolution as follows: Resolved, That the house oves ognition of the existing provision; ernnient of Hawail by the last and p administrations, and will view with faction the maintenance of a policy shall tend to consummate in the near fu ture, with the c ont of the people, th slands to this country, sme other ment which will fully Ve note the mutual intercsts sth Hawall and the United States. HITT REPLIES TO M'CREARY. Mr. Hitt, the leader of the republican mi- nority of the foreign afiairs committee, re- plied to Mr. McCreary. He made the point that the resolution of the minority consid- ered the vital questions which every one recognized in connection with the recent af- fairs in Hawail. The attitude of the ad- ministration on the question of annexation was not yet rknown. He spoke of the strength of the provisional government,which had maintained itself for a year against all opposition, and yet tho present administr tion had ‘attempted hari-Karl in a forei country fully capable of governing itseif. all questions of foreign intervention one two causes was recognized as to warrant the intervention. One was preservation, which warranted a government in sustaining its rights by foreign interven- tions itself. The other was to prevent or overcome cruelty. But neither of these causes operated to warrant our intervention with the provisional government. On the con- trary, our intervention was to restore a throne to a queen whose character had been well known. It was in behalf of a woman who had told Minister Willis, while shivers ran down his back, that she would behead a great number of lier pecple. Mr. Hitt was warmly appl severc arraignment of the queen. Bomba, by his fierce cruelties, had awak- ened the horror of Europe, but his brutali- ties did not compara with the Bartholomew's day massacre, with which this queen in- tended to celebrate her return to the throne, WILLIS OBEYED ORDERS, Willis had acted like a soldler, and had perfornied the loathsome duty assigned him. His dispatches showed how lis decency belled a in: the performance of such a task. Heo pictured the condition of affairs during the re'gn of terror, existiog up to the Ume Minister Willls' purposss were disclosed, For 100 years the United States had been first to greet a new republic and the last to uphold a tottering monarchy. But now this policy was changed. Tho gentleman (Mr. McCreary) had set forth the doctrine for the first time that repubiican institutions could not be established or maintained until a vote had been taken and the republic had been approved by popular vot Mr. Hitt referred with pride to the busi- ness success of the Americans in Hawali He concluded with a most terrific arraign ment of Mr. Cleveland, saying “Think of It, think of it! While he had in hand that letter from Minister Willls reciting the story of the history of that bru tal interview with the queen in which she demanded the holoeaust of the property and the slaughter of American citizens, he t out still nother order to overthrow the r publican form of government and put back that wreteh in power.

The resolu- tion of Senator vart denying the au- thority of the secretary to issue the bonds at this time was then taken up, and con- sumed the remainder of the day Senator Vilas made the principal argu- ment in_opposition to the resolution. The senate adjourned without action on the reso- lution A joint resolution anthorizing tary “of the treasury to boxes for cases for the bronze madals warded exhibitors at the World's Colum- blan exposition was reported by Senator ilas and passed by the senate Senator Quay of Pennsylvania presented n amendment embodying several new tions to the ta \ese sections pro vide for the free coina ilver and for te purchase of 14,1 ices of fine gold monthly and the issue of treasury notes in payment th r, and the repeal of all ex isting laws providing for the issue of bond PEFFER'S RESOLUTION.

To do might be injurious to the public credit “I want the names,” persisted Senator Peffer. “If it is not proper to give them, let the senate say s0.” “\What reason exists here why the names of the bidders shall not bo given?” inquired Senator Allen of Nebraska. “In the first place,” replied Sens man, “because the request has never made. The second reason is that it is not good policy to disclose the private affairs and busin of private citize I have no objection to the names of tho cor- porations who have i offers being called for, although J doubt expediency even of that.” Senator Harrls of Tenn. reason why the na any interest to the The suggestion Stewart of Nevada that the names of 1ginal purchasers might be very imj it the validity of the bonds should late questioned when they are presented for g ment. In answer to his opponcts, Senator Peffer said he firmly believed that the financial af- fairs of the go nent are not managed by the government officers, but by speculators in New York City. ADOPTED THE RESOLUTION. Senator Cockrell declared to Senator Stew- art that the time wouid never come when the question of refusing to pay these bonds would be raised. Afier further discussion Senator Sherman withdrew his motion to strike out and the Peffer resolution was adopted without amendment. The resolution of Senator Stewart, de- nying the authority of the secretary of the treasury to issue United States bonds at this time, came up in regular order, with the various amendments, providing that ‘“the money derived from the sale of such bonds can not be lawfully applied for any other than the purpose of redemption." To this amendment Senator Vilas sented the following amendment: cept in accordance with such acts of appre priations by congress as may require the use of same to discharge suc propriations.” In speaking on the Stewart resolution, Senator Vilas complained that its introduc- tion had been delayed until the last hour, when it came as a blow at the public credit. He argued that the resumption act not only required the secrefary of the treasury to bo ready in the first instance to redeem greenbacks, but to be thereafter always ready to redeem them. The redeemability and convertibility of the greenbacks was to be ever continuing and never ceas “Congress may, by any act of appropria- tion,” said Mr. Vilas, “direct the secretary of the treasury to pay out any portion of the money In the treasury, whether derived from the sale of bonds or not.

Whatever congress directs the sceretary of the treas- ury to do he must do. His duty is to ob congress. Congress Is the board of dire tors of this treasury bank, and he is their agent At 4:15 the clerk of the house appeared with the tariff bill, and Senator Vilas sus- pended until it was duly ported to the senate. By request of Senator Voorhees it was laid before the senate, and on his mo- tion referred to the {inance con ittee with an order that 2,000 coples be printed at once for use of the senate. uming his argument, Senator Vilas said he would consldered the secretary of the treasury as unworthy of belief if he had not at this time, after repeated attempts to arrive at some solution of the question, taken proper steps ito. fortify the treasury against the perils which beset it. he trou- ble with the treasury new, he went on, does not arise so much from the appr which have been magle, ps It arises from two other measures, both of which were enacted in the Fifty-first congréss, when the repub- licans held overwhiehnfng power in both houses of the govornment, one of these meas- s being the McKinley law, by which the revenues are diminished until they are in- sufficient to meet the appropriations, and the other was the Sherinan law, by the opera- tion of which disastér,was precipitated upon the country ATOR HOAR'S REPLY. r followeyd Senator Vilas and was nowhere entertained any more probability that within the next LJ * .0 For over two years my little girl was made lscr.xl:lul\f;\u"cnfl atarrh, The discharge from the nase w e, ant and very offensive.
