T. Flickinger, C. H. Jud- son, F. J. Day, P. C. DeVol and J. M. Bar- stow. The meetings at the Baptist church, under the leadership of Rev. L. G. Brown, are in- creasing rapidly in interest, and a great deal of good is anticipated to result from them Mr. Brown is a speaker of great power, and his sermons, which have so far been almed only at professed Christians, are causing a great awakening. This evening he will preach to moral people. The Pottawattamie County Fruit Growers' and Gardeners' assoclation have passed a res- olution tendering thanks to the ladies of the Christian church, Mr. J. M. Matthews, the Pottawattamie County Poultry and Pet Stock asscclation, Mesdames Roff and Mullls, Mr. and Mrs, C. A, Atkins, Nellle Frainey, Wheeler & Herald, L. Prouty and Sylvester Bros., for assistance in thelr late exhibit. The Young Men’s Christian association held its first meeting Sunday afternoon at the rooms at the corner of Broadway and Main streets. About sixty-five men were present, and the meeting was an interesting on Harry Curtis, who has come to assist the as sociation in getting on its feet, made some remarks which were adapted to the occca- slon, and aroused the enthusiasm of the friends of the organization in a marked de- gree. W. B. Proctor, the Insurance man who has had_considerable trouble in criminal courts lately, had another dose of grief Saturday, when the Council Bluffs Carpet company, Myers-Durfee cempany, and Peterscn & Schoening paid his house on South Seventh street a visit and levied on nearly everything it contained. The furniture, which was valued at several hundred dollars, had never been paid for, and the owners took the only course that seemed to present itself, The Broadway Methodist church is obsery- ing the week of prayer by holding cottage prayer meetings at the homes of the members and others all over the city. Meetings were held last night at the homes of Mrs. Grif- fiths, C. M. Harl and Mrs. H. R. Jones. Meetings will be beld this evening at Mrs. Grifiths’, F. H. Orcutt's and Mrs. Cald- well's.

Mr. Ccok was as- sisted in the process of installation by his gellow Justice, Ovide Vien, who had been through the process himself and exhibited a gheulish glee in seeing Cook o through the mysterious rites that ushered him Into office. One of the dampers on the era of good feel- ing that now exists in the judiclal circles of Kane township is the fact that a new law awent into effect January 1, by which the jus- tices are required to turn into the county all fees_which come Into their hands in excess of $1,200 in cities of between 20,000 and 80,000 population. The board of supervisors will probably have to decide whether the jus tices have to pay their office rent and coal bills out of the $1,200, or shall be allowed a sum for contingent expenses. This question, however, will net come up before the next meeting of the board, —Dusiness office, No. 43; night near added the morning.

An ordinince imposing a penalty of not more than $5 for any dealer exposing for 1 any loaves of bread weighing 1ss than tw ur ounces was read, and Peter Smith asked its passage, saying that that weight had been settled upon by the bakers of Coun- cil Blufts, Omaha and South Omaha. The rules were suspended, and the ordinance passed, whereupon Mr. Smith agreed to set up the pie. An ordinance was read, regulating the levy- ing and collecticn of taxes for the paving of streets and alleys. It was modelled on the new ordinance about to be passed by the Des Moines city council, and is intended to sepa- rate the speclal taxes from the general, In order that the unpaid amounts for paving may not be added to the city indebtedness By this crdinance the contractor is requircd to sign an express ver of any claims against the city, and is enabled to collect directly from the abutting property owners. It wao read once, and then laid over until Saturday night, when another meeting is to be held. Anna M.

T. J. Evans presented a communication stating that the brick used in paving Oak- land avenue were not equal to the samples furnished with the bid, and suggesting that some measures be taken to repair any bricks that might prove defective from wear or frost. It was placed on file. A communication was read from J. R Webster of the Omaha Bridge & Terminal Railway company, which stated that their superintendent had been circulating around among the owners of property abutting on Union avenue and found that they were outspoken in their promises to “hold up” the company and compel it to pay for their property. This, he said, was not the sort of treatment they had expected from the people of Council Bluffs and would undoubtedly delay the company’s plans. Mayor Cleaver suggested that the city might order the street brought to grade in case the property owners refused to allow the work to go on, in which case he thought the property owners would be more willing to acquiesce In the company's desires. Alder- mun_Nicholson thought this would merely precipitate a squabble, out of which no good would come, and several other aldermen con- curred in his view. The ccmmunication was placed on file.

Clark, Soothsayer and Worker of Mysterles, in the Toils, Deputy Sherifft Fullen of Sioux City has been going through a lively chase for the past few days in the attempt to locate Mr: F. Clark, a clairvoyant who has been worl ing the boom city for all it is worth for several weeks. Mrs. Clark advertised her- self as the possesosr of second sight and as a good person to tle to. She succeeded in gulling about fifteen people in Sioux City whose credibility exceeded their good sense. Among them was a washerwoman, who bought what Mrs, Clark called a ‘‘lucky belt,” Mrs, Clark representing that if the owner would purchase a ticket in any lot- tery she would draw a capital prize every time. The washerwoman paid $25 in cash for it, besides pawning her walch with Mrs. Clark for §20, and glving a note for $5 more. The washerwoman found that the lucky belt had no appreciable effect in squeezing money out of the lottery company, and so was ready for revenge, and swore out a warrant for Mrs, Clark's arrest, charging her with ob- taining money under false pretenses. Mrs. Clark, accompanied by her husband and little child, hove into sight over the Northwestern rallway Saturday and would havo been met at the Broadway depot by Sheriff Hazen, but they went on to the trans- fer instead of stopping at the Broadway depot, to which point they had checked their baggage. At the transfer it was learned that they had induced the baggageman to give them checks on thelr baggage to Chicago over the Milwaukee road, in exchange for the checks they held, and had then left for Chicago. A telegram was sent the officials at Tama City to arrest the woman and to wire Sheriff Davenport at Sioux City. This was done Sunday, and that night Deputy Sheriff Fullen went to Tama City to get his prisoners. Mrs. Clark is sald to be one of the smooth- est confidence gamesters that has ever plyed her trade in the state. She was in Council Bluffs for some little time about two years ago, and stopped at the Scott house on North Main street, registering under the name of Mrs. F. French. She worked the city as a clairvoyant and succeeded in wringing a good many hard shekels out of the gullible public. About the same time she worked in Sloux City, and went through pretty nearly the same program as on this occa- sion. Lost—Between Fourth street and Willow avenue and Mre.

The night school began operations on the third floor of the Bloomer building last even- ing under the instruction of Miss Anderson, lately of Hillsdale, Ta. The opening was far better even than was expected, for fifty-three young people were present to begin work. Nine of these were young ladies, The ages of the pupils range apparently from 10 to 22 years. None of them are compelled by their parents to attend, but that they all come be- cause they want to learn was evident last evening. Superintendent Sawyer's face was wreathed in smiles as he sald, “I told you £0,"" for he remembered how long he had had to work before the sohool board would aliow the scheme to be tried. He and Colonel Dailey made some brief remarks. The beginning was made under the most auspiclous circum- stances, and those in charge are confident that another room will be needed before long. History, arithmetic, geography, reading, writ ing and grammar will be taught. Sessions wil be held every week-day evening, except- ing Saturday, from 7 to 9:30 p. m.

FOWLER, DICK & WALKER, Council Bluffs, Supervisors In Sesslon, The County Board of Supervisors met yes- terday, with Members S. B. Wadsworth, Perry Kearney, John Currie, L. B. Dentler and B. G. Auld present. The board was cr- ganized for the coming year by the election of 8. B. Wadsworth as president. Quite a bunch of clalms were filed by property own- ers, who paid taxes during the years 1888, 1889 and 1890, for the 2 mill rebats which was coming to them on account of the ex- cessive levy during those years. The claims aggregated about $700. The board having sattled with Shea & Galvin, have established a precedent which will have to be followed out in all other like cases. It is expected that a large number of other claims will be filed between now and the April meeting, and an_immense amount of work will have to be done in the line of checking up the claims with the books of the county treasurer. James McCabe, with a committee of mem- bers of the Broadway Methodist church, ap- peared before the board and asked that Claus Thompson’s salon be closed, on the ground that it was within the required distance from the church. The board discussed the mat- ter, and finally came to the conclusion that they had no jurisdiction. They suggested that the petition be taken to the county attor- ney, and there is not much doubt that he will be called upon to lend his official aid in clos- ing the establishment. The bonds of a large number of Justices of the peace, township clerks and county offl- cers were approved, among the latter those of County Clerk F. L. Reed, for $20,000; Re- corder W. M. Shepard, $10,000, and Auditor J. M. Matthews, $10,000. 0, what a treat! Maple syrup and waf- fles cooked with Dr. Price’s Baking Powder. Weapons that Have Killed. Sheriff Hazen exhibited a grewsome collec- tion of weapons of one sort and another, which had been turned over to him by John P. Organ, the outgoing county attorney, in ac- cordance with the provisions qf the statutes. Among them was the revolver with which Hank Hall killed his wife, over four years ago. Tied up with it was the pen knife with which Hall made an Ineffectual attempt to end his own existence, after he had com- mitted the bloody crime. The revolver, with which William Boartz killed John Denahay in a saloon on Lower Broadway was there, with the one that Thomas Brocks used in killing Frank DeGoode in the “Bucket of Blood” saloon, and the one with which Rev. D. M. Helmick of Neola slew Charles Palmer. The razor which Willlam' Madison flourished at a Danish dance on South Main street five years ago, and the revolver which, in Peter Hansen's hands, sent a bullet crashing through Madison's head a few seconds later, occupled a bundle by themselves. Besides theso were the Httle bottle of strychnine which Mawhor, the Page county blue beard, so-called, was charged with using in creating uxorial vacancies in his household, a villain- ous locking knife, with a blade six inches long, which Frank Crane plunged into the back of a man named Phillips at Manawa, and a revolver taken from Charley Wilson, the Boston store burglar, soon to be electro: cuted at Sing Sing. These relics have been accumulating in the county attcrney’s office for six years past. They will be kept in the sherifl’s offics for a time, and will then proba- bly be put up at action and knocked down to the highest bidder. 9 to close, Lost, Saturday night, a black Cockes spanlel; answers to name of Fritz, and wore a black leather collar.

Paul Pickering, the well known engincer on the Northwestern, had an exciting run in from Boone Sundey afternoon. A special car was attached to the fast mail at Chicago for the accommodation of a theatrical troupe that showed there Saturday night and was booked for an appearance in Omaha Sunday night. This overloaded the train, and when it ar- rived at Boone It was forty minutes behind time. The special car was accordingly left at Boone for No. 7, which was following close behind, to bring to Omahu, and Pickering was given instructions to bring the fast mail in on time if such a thing was among the possibilities. His famous engine, 627, was brought out and the race against time was commenced. Seven stops were made on the cay by delays in handling the mail, that at Missouri Valley being nine minutes in length, nd another at Carroll of almost the same duration, The rest of the time was spent in hustling by telegraph poles at a faster gait than has ever been covered, probably, by any train running between here and Chicago. Mile after mile was reeled off in fifty-five seconds. The distance from Dunlap to Missourl Valley, twenty-seven miles, was covered at a rate thirty seconds belter than a mile a minute. The train and its prec'ous load was brought into the transfer just five minutes behind time, the entire distance between Boone und Council Bluffs, 150 miles, having been tra- versed in two hours and fifty-five minutes. John Nelson, the fireman, had been trans- ferred two days before from an engineer's run, and when the train pulled in at the transfer he was about as near a tuckered out specimen of humanity as is not often seen, Mrs, Paul Skipped Quarantine, The city authorities were busy yesterday afterncon looking for some way in which the strong arm of the law could be brought down upon Mrs. Richard Paul. who lives at 2123 Sixth avenue. She was taken sick last Thurs- day, and a physiclan whom she called in pro- nounced the case diphtheria. She called a doctor from Omaha with whom she was uc- quainted, and he said the case was not Qip- theria. Nevertheless, the house had already been quarantined. Saturday night Mrs. Paul decided that she wanted to see her little girl, who had been sent to the house of friends in Omaha, and so she went across the river, Marshal Ed Canning, who lives next door to her, found out she had gone and straght- way notified her not to return, and also not fled the Omaha authorities to see that she was quarantined there. Notwithstanding all this, Mrs. Paul bobbed up serenely Sunday and said she had come home to stay. City Atior- ney Hazelton was asked to draw up an infor- mation charging her with an infraction of the rules of the Board of Health, but after he had waded through several tons of law books he anuounced that he could find no statute that just met the case. Tbe mayor, marshal and city clerk tried thelr hand at it, but with little better success. When they separated the opinion seemed to be that the city had a law which provided for quarantining conta- glous diseases, but none which would punish those who broke over the regulations when they saw fic Deal o Keal ) state. A real estate transaction, the consideration of which was $100,000, was consummated yes- terday. The parties to the deal are Dr. V. H. O:ffman and Generst $8] M. Dodge, the latter gentleman coming inte-possession of a number of valuable pleces of inside city prop. erty in exchange for a vety farge and valu- ble cattle ranch in Texas.! If is understood that Dr. Coffman will opdtatd’this ranch in connection with those he alrédlly presesses in Wyoming. The nogotlatfods in this deal were promoted by the firm of Pusey & Thomas of this city, through thelr Omaha office. ] Davis sel's drugs, paints and glass cheap.

LOS iBLES, Jan. 7.—Chief of Police Glass has received a dispatch from the war- den of the Joliet penitentiary asking that Edward D.

The session of the Third general assembly will conveno in this city at noon on Tuesday. The question which temporarily overrides in interest the senatorial contest is who will g2t the minor positions in the gift of the sen- ate and heuse. for the various clerkships, David H. Craig of Carbon George W. Hoyt of Larami leading candidates for president ate. Clarence C. F also spoken of, but he says he is nct a candi date. Mr. Craig will probably be the presi- dent, and Mr. Hoyt vice president. J. C. Argeshelmer of Cheyenne is the only candidate for chief clerk of the senate. He will no doubt be unanimously elected. For ssistant clerk Mr. Blair, an attorney Sheridan, and George W. Perry have been mentioned. county and Judge Jay L. Torrey of Fremont county is the the leading house, Van 0 county, candidate for speaker of Ho will no doubt be chosen. J. A. sdel and A. D. Kelley, both of Laramie re candidates, but the fact that they live in Cheyenne is against them. M. C. Barrow of Douglas is thus far the only condi date for chief clerk, and he will unquestiona- bly be the umanimous choice of the members for the position. J. H. Hollingsworth Uinta county is a candidate chief clerk. STRUGGLE FOR SENATORIAL TOGAS. for assistant There seems to be a general desire on the to part of the members of the legislature dispose of the senatorial question as quickly as possible. Friends of some of the candi- dates predict that the question will be de- cided by Thursday night at the latest. The first joint caucus of the forty-eight repub- lican members of the legislature will be held Wednesday or Thursday evening. At this meeting the claims of the several candidates will be thoroughly discussed, and the question whether the long or the short term ecnator shall be chosen first finally determined. An informal ballot may also be taken. six-year term and that Clarence D. Clark will be an easy winner for the four-year position. Mr. Clark has the assurance twenty votes, which will stay with him from first to last. Neither Laramie, Albany nor Carbon, the counties having the’three largest delegations in the legislature, are taken into consideration in this estimate, county, with her ten solid republican votes, could " easily decide the question. The dele- gation will probably not, however, vote as a unit for any candidate for the second place, but several of the members are known to be friendly to Clark. Judge M. C. Brown will get Albany county's seven votes. Al the candidates except Senator Carey are anxious to have the contest speedily settled. His only hope of success is in a long and bitter strug- gle which will consume the greater part of the session. The senator will no doubt get three votes from Converse county, but 0 far as is definitely known this is the ex- tent of his following. Judge Jay L. Torrey of Fremont and John C. Davis of Carbon county have withdrawn from the senatorial race. They announced this morning that they believed that it would greatly complicato matters if they permitted their names to go before the caucus, and in order to facilitate the business of the legisla- ture they would withdraw. This leaves Judge Brown of Albany county and Clarence D. Clark the only candidates for the second place. It is probable that Judge Brown will withdraw before the caucus convenes. The action of Davis and Torrey makes the elec- tion of Warren and Clark absolutely certain. MINNESOTA WILL BEGIN TODAY. Governor's Messago to Be Followed by a Senatorial Election. ST. PAUL, Jan. 7.—The various state offl- cers filed thelr bonds and were sworn in be- fore the secretary of state several days ago, and there were no ceremonies of any sort today when they took charge of' thelr re- spective offices. The governor's message will_probably be sent to the legislature to- morrow as soon as the two bodies are or- ganized. Both houses will hold caucuses of the majority party tonight to decide on their officers, 5o that there will be little de- lay tomorrow in getting to work and hear- ink the governor's message. The contest for the senatorlal sucessor to Senator Washburn Is slightly in abeyance until the legislature is organized, but the friends of the various candidates are not re- laxing their vigilance, and each member is ap- proached as soon as he reaches the city. No accurate poll of the legislature has yet been possible, many refusing to commit themselves until the officers of the legislature have been selected, Senator Washburn is confident of re-election, Governoor Nelson is sure he will be chosen, and Congressman McCleary and ex-Congressman Comstock are equally positive that the contest will end in their favor. “Dark horse” predictions are freely indulged in. LOBDELL WINS THE RACE. Outgeneraled All Opposition for the Kansas Speakership. TOPEKA, Jan. 7—~When the Kansas legis- lature convenes at noon tomorrow the house will be promptly organized by the election of C. E. Lobdell of Lane county as speaker. Lobdell has outgeneraled all opposition. The field against him had narrowed down to J. K. Cubbison of Kansas City. This morning Mr. Cubbison sald: *“Unless Mr. Lobdell has agreed upon some one else to present his name in the republican caucus this afternoon at 4 o'clock I will do it myself.” Cubbison was as good as his word, and Lobdell was decided on for speaker. Mr. Cubbison will be the speaker pro tem. Lobdell has made a remarkable race for the speakership. He is the youngest man ever elected in Kansas for the position.

Attorney General of California Holds the . Law is Unconstitutional. SACRAMENTO, Cal., Jan. 7.—The legisla- ture of California convened today. Lieutenant Governor Everett Millard is at his home in Los Angeles and was unable to be present. The republicans have a majority in both houses and elected temporary officers. The new members were sworn In, and thereupon both branches adjourned. Governor-clect Budd today received from Attorney General Hart an opinion in which it is asserted that there can bo no guberna- torial contest before the present legislature and that the oath of office must be administered to Budd. The opin- fon declares that the section of the political code, which provides the manner of the gubernatorial contest before the legislature, s unconstitutional in that it confers judicial power on the leglslature, The democrats are arranging to have Mr. Budd sworn in tomorrow at a joint session of both houses. Prior to the joint session, however, the two branches will meet sepa- rately, when the republicans may introduce a resolution postponing the inauguration pending the appointment of committees from each house to investigate the charges of fraudulent returns in connection with the gubernatorial election.
