Beyond | @ general discussion of the interesting topics no action was taken. Counciman Nicholson set the ball rolling by moving that the Sev- | enth street matter be taken up first. Keller voiced the senti s of the crowd by say ing that there was a great deal of dissatis- taction, apparently, with the recent action of the council in vacating the street. It should be remembered, h that the had acted, as it th for the best it, after a should be that its lntentions had miscarried, the coun- | et was the servant of the people and would | bow to the pe will.

The Rock Island had never done anything for the city that entitled it to ask for any such favor, and if it must have Seventh street it should be compelled to build a viaduct that h”ll citizens might not lose the use of it. | Lucius Wells and William Groneweg took the opposite stand and thought that, as Council Bluffs owed most of its prosperity to the raiiroads, it should be willing to grant favors in return. At the close of the dis- cussion, which was very warm throughout, the matter was laid over The new ordinance giving a right of way over Unfon avenue to the Terminal company was substituted for the old, with the pro- | visions as outlined in The Bee several days ago. It was then likewise laid over, and both matters will come up at a special meet- ing of the council to be held next Monday evening. conard | SON BROS, Cloaks nt Half Price.

After an ef- fort had been made by Proctor’s attorney to have him turned loose on technicalities Judga Smith dismissed the petition and ordered the prisoner turned over to the Nebraska officer. A bond of $600 was put up for his app:arance when wanted, and he was released. Mrs. Jennie Smith of Fremont sued a bank in Longmont, Colo., about a year ago for $1,800, that being the amount of a cer- tificate of deposit which she had. She vis- ited Longmont with one W. B. Proctor, a real estate man, and while in his presence drank some liquor which afterwards turned out to be drugged. While in this situation, she claimed, Proctor induced her to assign the certificate of depcsit to him in pay- ment for some property in Longmont. The trial resulted in a victory for the bank, there being not enough evidence to conviet Proctor of drugging her to a sufficient extent to render her unaccountable for her actions. Pure materials are half the battle in the struggle for good housekeeping. No Kitchen agent can compare with Dr. Price's Cream Baking Powde: ROBBED ST. FRANCIS' CHURCH. Two Gold Chalices, Valued at Taken by an Unknown Thief. The members of St. Francls Xavier's Catholle church are considerably worked up over a discovery made a day or two ago that burglars had been doing some rather costly work. They entered the church by a basement window and went into the sacristy, where were kept two magnificent gold chal- ices, each valued at about §700. They left as they came, taking the chalices with them, and there is not the slightest clew to their present whereabouts. The case was not re- ported to the police, and o far as known no effort has been made to apprehend the thiev The chalices were very valuable, apart from their intrinsic worth, on account of assoclations. One of them belonged to the late Father McMenomy, and just before his death he presented it to the church. The other was the personal property of Rev. Father Smith, having been presented him by his church at Iowa City, where he lived before coming here, 400, Tremendous Drop in the Price of Coats.
