They're After Him, Although Charles Lawson got rid of a term in jail the other day by the persistent and energetic swearing of h's wife when he was charged with stealing chickens, it seems that ho has a faculty for getting tangled up in chicken stealing serapes and using the skin of his teeth as a means of getting out. It is Mrs. Murphy now, who lives at the corner of Broadway and Thirteenth cets, who accuses him of making away with her feath- ered pets. She says she saw Law on sizing up her hen coop the other afternoon from the rear of the yard, and that night a rail was made. The day following Lawson went to the residence of Officer Martin of the po- lico force and tried to sell a very large chicken at a very low figure. The chicken woighed about the same as one of Mrs. Murphy's and she thinks Lawson stole it, Yesterday afternoon she had him arrested on the charge of larceny and he will have a hearing in police court this morning. As he was leaving the house in charge of an officer awson turned to his wife and remarked: Be sure and come up to court in the morn- ing, honey; you know they'd have stuck me sure as h—1 the other day #f it hadn't been for you.'

Meltzer, the alleged blackmailers who tried to work Dr. Mul- hern for some cash the other day, will have a preliminary examination in police court this morning. The officials claim to have all the evidence necessary not only to prove that they are guilty of the crime charged, but that they have made a practice of work- ing what is technically known as the “bad- ger game’ in other towns. One Patrick is a brakeman on the Northwestern rail- way, and until'a few days ago Council Bluffs was the western terminus of his run. Now e only runs as far as West Side, for he was sald to have been mixed up in a scrape with Mr. and Mrs. Meltzer in Boone not long ago and paid a gold ring and $20 in cash to keep Meltzer quiet. He did not want to testify here, so he induced the rail- way officials to change his run for the time being. The police sent a subpoena to West Side yesterday and it is supposed caught him there last evening, so he is expected to be here this morning. There are several wit- nesses also looked for from Carroll. One of them was worked by Meltzer and his so- called wife, while the others, it is claimed, ere made confidants by Meltzer as to the ay he had carried on the business. The Hans Albert conce March 2.

There was about a dozen popullsts gath- ered at the council chamber last evening for the purpose of holding a citiz meeting With them were perhaps another dozen of republicans and democrats, spectators, Dr. A. J. Cook, the mayoralty, was the first’ speaker of t evening. He announced that there would be another meeting held at the court house on Friday evening, when an effort would be made to secure a larger attendanc “And I want to say,” he remarked, “that we're going to turn this town upside down if we can. Right here I challenge the dem ocratic and republican candidates for mayor to come to that meeting anl discuss city ters with me. We'll give them such a turning over as they never had bafore And some one in the audience clapped his hands. After he had devoted a few minutes to reading the platform of the populists and showing up to his own satisfaction that the populists were the only people who stood any show on earth of being elected, he retired to the background and sat down in the mayor's chair to see how it would seem When the corpses had been removed Mr Whitney, candidate for alderman-i 3 was called for and stated that he had wait for three and ten years for an office to seek him, and now that it had come with a lantern in its hand looking for a man and had picked him out, he would like very much to have all the populists in the house, whether working men or wealthy men, to step up and elect him. Lawrence Kinnehan made a talk of about ten minutes, in which he showed conclusively that the hard times all over the country had been the result of the failure of the Council Bluffs populists to elect their city ticket in the past year. With tears in his voicé he begged the voters to forget party ties and vote the straight populist ticket.

It will be the finest ente talnment of the season and lovers of music should not fail to attend it. Make it a social event and show to the Omaha art that Council Bluffs people appreciate class music rendered at home. This cert was given in Omaha a few weeks ago to a fine, well dressed audience, which was very enthusiastic in its appreciation of it, requesting that it be repeated in the near tuture. The prominent papers of that city gave very flattering notices of Mr. Albert's brilliant success as a sololst, ability displayed in presiding over an orches tra of fifty persons, kecping them in excel lent control and fine concerted action. Miss Weber, the pianist, and Mrs. J. L Cook, the singer, are well Known artists and in thelr performances wil greatly add to the entertainment.

After the creditor had gotten out of the way Brechtell decided he wanted the horses back, and going to Shill's house he showed a scrap of paper, which he said was the note, and with some display threw it into the fire. He then went out to the barn and got the three horses and brought them to this city. Shill claims the horses were his, for the sale was made in regular form, and he accordingly put the officers on Drech- tell's trall, with the result that the latter was arrested.

The foatu of the Brower county option bill hate bec incorporated almost Th ht was principally made point whether the payment of tax should operate as a cons ditions, and when this it did by a bare majority, the liberal element generously yielded to the radicals in perfe Ing the det The principal changes have been made are as follo Al cities of at least 5,000 inhabitants can adopt the mulct system through the consent of the common council. In the territory outside of these counties and in all counties containing a less population, a majority of all the legal voters on the poll books must first be secured to a petition as a necessary precedent before a permit can be issued The fee or tax is fixed at $600, payable quarterly in advance, and power is given to the common council to increase the amount at pleasure. The tax is divided equally between county and mun'cipality. No saloon can be located within t of a church or school house and the written consent of all the resident freehiolders owning property within fifty fect of the saloon must be ob tained No saloon can be established in any town ship or ward until a majority of all the legal voters sign a petition in its favor. A bond of $3,000 with two good sureties, con- ditioned upon the faithful observance of the law and as security for the payment of all damages that may result from the sale of intoxicants, must also be filed Sules are limited to the hours between 6 a. m. and 10 p. on week days. The tax receipt or permit will ccase to operate as a bar to prosecution under the existing law when any of the conditions of sale have been violated; when the city council, by a majority vote, shall declare, or when remonstrance signed by a majority of the voters of any city, town or county shall be filed with county auditor The main features of the Funk bill in re- gard to collecting the tax have been re- tained with only slight changes. The bill prohibits the employment or harboring of any female about the saloon. The clause making treating a crime was stricken out. The bill was not approved by Chairman Funk, Morris or Van Gilder, three radical prohibition members, nor by Myerley of Emmett, who thought it too severe in some of its provisions. ' The bill received the votes of Messrs. Sawyer, Smith, Chassell, Lauder and Davis, 'who favor local option, and Reed, Martin, Watters and Morrison, four herctofore strong prohibitionists, who have apparenily led to the strong pres- sure being exerted by the parly manager in favor of keeping faith with the people. The two democratic members did not vote in the committee, but will make a minority report in favor of thefr caucus bill. As the bill agreed upon will be reported as a party measure, no objection will be filed by the three republi whose approval it does not meet, as they feel that this would be equivalent to bolting the party platform. If this measure is ‘accepted by those desir- ing a modification of the law its early pas- sage In the house is a foregone conclusion. NOT SO HARMONIOUS IN THE SENATE. The senate committee on the suppression of intemperance held a formal meeting today and reconsidered all its past actions on bills pending. Senator Groneweg moved to report back the democratic caucus bill for passage in order to get it on the cal- endar, but the motion was lost by a solid repulican vote. Republican members stood five for the mulct tax and five for local option, with Upton, a local optionist, unavoid- ably absent. Republican members wjll hold another meeting, when all bills may possibly be reported back without recommendatio in order to get them before the senate. The republican members of this commit- tee have apparently agreed to disagree as to the merits of any of the numerous bills to modify the prohibitory law now pending. At the session of last Thursday a majority of those present consented to report back all bills to be placed on the general file and recommend for passage the Carpenter bill as amended by the committee. It was, however, suggested by some one to await the arrival of Chairman Funk, who was un- avoidably detained by sickness. Upon his arrival, ‘and somewhat to his surprise, the prohibition members, Conaway, ~Jamison, Boardman and Turner, withdrew their en- dorsement of the Carpenter bill and joined with the senator from Union in favor of reporting the Harsh mulct bill. The ab- sence of Senator Carpenter himself, who had been suddenly called home, left the committee a tie—the four democratic mem- bers refusing to take any part in the matter. The commitiee was consequently compelled to take a recess until Monday afternoon when some report will fikely be submitted. This action of the commitiee is in strict accordance with the program of the pro- hibition who have everything to gain by delay. The bill as originally drawn by Car- penter, Ellis and Waterman was intended to attract democratic support, and contained a clause periitting the manufacture at all points where license prevailed. The commit- tee, however thought best to submit it as a sort of peace offering to their prohibition brethren and struck out several feature: especially acceptable to the democrats, They also put in a provision restricting the sale to one room and prohibiting the use of curds, dice and billiards, which Senator Ellis (rep.) of Clinton says he cannot aceept for his con- stituents. On account of these changes the democrats of the committee will unite in the minority report in favor of the substitution of their own caucus bill. The vote being first taken upon this proposition, the demo- crats count upon the help of the seventeen prohibition republicans to carry the motion which, if it prevails, will effectually side- track the republican local option bill and force the senate to adopt the democratie bill with such amendments as can be made upon the floor of the senate. The prohibi tionists will of course oppose all changes in the bill, and thereby force the republicans who favor the modifieation of the law to aid in sending this measure over to the house, \;\'Iuvx it will meet a speedy and certain death. The prohibitionists, however, may allow the democratic bill to be'defeated and then move to substitute the Harsh bill, which will prob- ably fail. The democrats will then move to add a manufactur:ng class and other amend- ments of a similar nature, which the r publican local optionists will be compelled to accept. The measure as amended will then ass, recelving the votes of all the senators, except the seventeen radicals. While the debate on this bill will.open early in March it Is not expected that a vote on any of the amendments can be reached for two or three weeks, The uncertainty that pre- vails in regard to 4he final action on this question has engendered a sort of indiffer- ence as to other Important measures which rvades the whole legislature.
