George Feurhauken, who keeps a junk £hop in the northwestern part of the cit was arrested carly in 1859 on the charge of receiving stolen goods, and after a trial was found guilty and sentenced to a term penitentiary, but he has never been . walls, and the case apparently “snuffed out” of its own ac cord until it was suldenly resurrected ye | terday through an examination of the records of five years ago. In 1880 and for some time previous a gang of thieves was operating on frelgh | cars in the Northwestern ds, and son of the stolen property was traced to Feur- ce, which was well known to ry conceivable sort of old ind there. When approached the police. Jurk was f by the police Feurlauken claimed he had simply bought the stolen property from other men, but he was nevertheless sted, and when, after ances, the case finall g0 Macy number of con- e up before r trial, he was unable to the jury that his intentions had been perfectly honorable, and he was found guilty. The amount of the stolen property was fixed at $82, his motion for a new trial was overrule and on October 31, 1889, he was sent to spend two years in the Fort Madison penitentiary at hard lahor. Some time previous to this an attorney convince A. (. McGuigan blew into town from Neola, and got elf engaged by Feur- hauken. An appeal bond was filed in the sum of $1,000, and a transeript of the ev- idence was made out. Soon after Me- Guigan and Feurhauken had a falling out, and McGuigan left for Creston, taking all the papers with him. Since that time the case has been allowed to drop out of sight and it is sald that McGuigan has died. No bill of exceptions has ever been fil-d, and the appeal to the supr court is in no respect any nearer completion than it was three years ago. Couaty Attorney Organ, when asked about the mattér erday, stated that he had instructed the county clerk to make out a mew transcript to be filed in the su- preme court in place of the one McGuigan has in his possession. The only explanation he had to offer for the case having not been prosecuted any more vigorously wa: that in this instance, as {n many others, the at- torneys for the appellant were allowed to file the transcript, and that they had neg- lected to take the proper st Can't Get Much of a Good Thing.

There are thirteen graves of veterans In this cem- etery, and fourteen in the Catholic cemetery, and the survivors feel that to the memory of these departed comrades {s due some token of love and honor. The dedication ceremonies will be solemn and impressive, and after these are over the children of the city, escorted by the various socleties, will decorate all graves at Walnut Hill, and then procesd in a body to the Catholic cemetery, where the graves of all fallen comrades will be remembered and honored.

COUNCIL BLUFFS, May 16.—To the Ed- itor of The Bee: I was surprised when I looked at the items in the Council Bluffs columns of The Bee this morning and saw the decision of the coroner's jury on the killing of Mr. John Kelly last Sunday. They say the horse ran away. It would be a queer old plug that would not\ run or jump as it did when the whistle was blown in its face. All persons living in that vicinity say the company runs its trains too fast and gives no warning. There are no sign boards at most of the crossings, and the wonder Is there are not more accidents than there are. I have been told by differ- ent persons that they escaped with their lives by a second. 1 have crossed their tracks hundreds of times when the trains come speeding along at the rate of twenty, thirty, and even forty miles an hour. Our council should take up the matter and com- pel all trains to Yun as the law of lowa re- quires them to run inside the city limits. The council does not even compel them to provide crossings for teams or to bring the tracks to the proper grade. Now that the howl is that there is not work enough for the poor, why not make the rallroads pro- vide flagmen on the crossings and give a few of those looking for work something to do, and at the same time protcct the people on' the railroad crossings. M. J. KELLY. A Hearty Endorsement. “I noticed in The Bee yesterday what I consider a just and hearty endorseme the Council Bluffs Insurance compan a citizen yesterday, “‘and I think the re- marks le made are the right lines. I un- derstand the Council Bluffs company is carrying between 1,500 and 2,000 policies for Council Bluffs people, and this fact must certainly be considered a hearty home en- dorsement that gives emphasis to the re- marks referred to. There Is no reason why the Council Bluffs company should not write the bulk of the fire insurance risks for Coun- cfl Bluffs people. There is certainly no company on earth that has a brighter or better record at its home. Every loss it has had has been adjusted and paid before the ashes got cold, and you can't well beat that for promptness. 1 want to see the people of this ecity aprpeciate a good thing when they have it, and that's the only in- terest 1 have in the Council Eluffs Insurance company.” For cobs go to Cox, 10 Main street.

The Board of Equalization held a long star chamber session last evening in the mayor's private office, and when the mem- bers came out they walked with an air that showed they had all their business cut and aried. All their business was transacted in whispers. John T. Stewart made affidavit that he did not have $5,000 In money and credit subject to taxation as personal taxes and the board promptly knocked off his assessment. The same was done with the $5,000 assessment of George Keeline. W. H. M. Pusey pro- tested againgt a propos:d raise of the assess- ment of Officer & Pusey's bank. Every chattel loan agent In the city was frecd from the burdens of taxation on his capital stock. The same was done with every man who carries on a loan business or deals in city warrants. The latter class includes F. T. True, the board reconsidering its action of two nights before and knocking off the assessment of $3,000. The assessment of the Citizens State bank was put back to where it was when the assessor got through with it. The assessment of the Council Bluffs Say- ings bank was raised $8,000, and with that the board wound up its work for the year. Rheumatism Cured i Three Days. “I have been afllicted all winter with rheumatism in the back. At times it was so severe that I could not stand up straight, but was drawn over on one side,’ says George A. Mills of Lebanon, Conn. I tried different remedies, but without relief, until about six weeks ago, when I bought & bottle of Chamberiain's Pain Balm. After using it for three days, according to directions, my rheumatism gone, and has not re- turned since. 1 have since recommended it and glven it to others, and know they have been benefited by its use.” For sale by druggists.

Trying Preparation for Entrance into Society-— What Paine’'s Celery Com- pound Does. To be graceful, entertainin in music and French, casy talkers on topics of the day, yet up in ancient history—this and much more is what society expects of the young girls who “come out” at 18 or 19 In the few years before 20 so great a change s wrought that we almost, as if by magic, sce a woman, where but a short time before was only a child. It during these critical years, constant mental oxertion absorbs blood and nerve force, the system grows feeble and suffers from lack of nourishment. The vital mistake of the thousands of girls who yearly break down in schools and leges” s just here: A vigorous body and brain must have an unlimit ply of pure, rich blood, fully capa and repairing | accomplished Men still in middle age can remember the days when archi- tectural development in this coyns try was at a stand-still, and n suggestion of the birth of a ne; architectural order had appeargg! Emerson says it is a long stép from the gorilla to the gentlenfan.’ Surely we can say the sanie of the progression of architecture in the last thirty years—from the terrible vulgarity and meaning- less decorations of the early six- ties to the classic refinement and beauty of the White Palaces at the World’s Fair. All this and much more touch- ing the progress of the world in the last fifty years is unfolded to the fortunate reader of the ‘‘Book of the Builders.”’ and body. That is just what Paine's celery compound is providing today for overworked, anxious, “run down” people all over the United States and Canada. It care be taken that no part of the body be poorly nourished, a great deal of hard work and study can be safely gone through. But when young girls ure seen to grow thin, pale, spiritless, and nervous, there s plainty starvation of some of the important organs and a craving of the blood and nerves for better nutrition. Paine’s celery compound was first pre- pared by Prof. Edward E. Phelps, M. D., LL. D. of Dartmouth college, with the tullest knowledge of any medical man of his day of what tired, weak, nervous women need to make them well and strong. The happy effects of Pame's celery com- pound in all cases of debility, nervous weak- ness and impoverished, impure blood are astonishing. It makes _wople well where everythipg else fails. This remarkable remedy makes sickly, feeble women strong; docs away completely with the languid feeling that comes from underfed nerves and blood. As a sure sign of its radical effect on the system for good, it is noticed that in a short time the eyes grow clearer and brighter, the cheeks ruddier, and the mind more ac- tive and hopeful. Paine’s celery compound cures dyspepsia, sick headaehes, neuralgia, rheumatism, and every symptom of impure blood, and perma- nently cures the most difficult discases of the liver, kidneys and heart. Thousands and thousands of men and women who have taken Paine’s celery com- pound are today perfectly well and happy.
