The overcoat has been returned to its owner, A pleasant soclal was given last evening by Etchetah council No. 3, Degree of Poca- hontas, at their tepee, 103 Pearl street, at which quite a number of pleasure seckers were present, In spite of the bad weather. Dancing and other amusements were in- dulged in. Clem Spry ran into L. Henderson's wagon yesterday while they were both hauling ice at Big lake, and broke the wagon. Hender- gon, who lives at 913 Avenue F, filed an in- formation, upon the strength of which Spry was arrested yesterday, charged with ma- liclous destruction of property. The Phillips outfit, arrested several days ago on the charge of threatening to kil the head of the house, was turned loose yester- day by Justice Vien, after a not very pleasant scented state of affairs had been shown up. It was Impossible for Phillips to prove that any direct threats were made against him, but it was plain enough that there had been a domestic broil of two years' standing. Pat Lyons, who Is employed at the Union Pactfic round house, made the serious mis- take of disputing Officer Welr yesterday afternoon. Weir had a dog which Mrs. Met- calf, of East Broadway notorlety, said was hers, but Lyons claimed it was his. He followed Weir to the police station, demand- ing the dog at every step, and when he reached there, Weir showed his ‘“‘authority” by thrusting Lyons behind the bars. Eye witnesses claim that the arrest was entirely without excuse, excepting to maintain the sort of dignity that wears brass buttons. A company, claiming to present a play called “The True American,” appeared at Dohany’s last evening. Several of the com- pany, both male and female, showed the effects of recent liberal potations, and two of the women went through performances on the stage which might be expected in ques- tionable resorts, but hardly in a first class opera house. There was a fair-sized audi- ence when the performance commenced, but by the time one of the players, whose name waos Sullivan, had delivered the knockout blow, which was the piece de resistance of the play, it had dwindled until the gallery gods had well-nigh a monopoly of the seats. ‘We have over $300,000 to loan upon im- proved Towa farms.

The proposition of the school board to grade down the hill by the High school is arousing more opposing talk than the importance of the suggestion would on its surface seem to warrant. It means, in fact, a quiet but certain settlement for all time of the per- plexing question as to where the High school should be located. It is claimed by those who have measured the proposed excavation that it will cost $16,000. If this amount is expended in preparing the site there will in all probability be no further opportunity for the public to secure the change which many desire. There scems to be no very en- thusiastic desire on the part of taxpayers to Increase their burdens, especlally in these time, and as there is coupled with the proposi- tion the permanent location of the High school on the hill, there seems little prospect of Its meeting the approval of the voters. The opposition to the scheme is already bubbling quite vigorously, and the com- plaints about the present location are being reiterated with a good deal of vigor.

This place has not been frozen yet, and the fish swarm into it by the thousands. Spearing fish in contrary to the law, but it goes on every day, nevertheless, and so far as s known no effort is made to stop it. The other day a representative of the Council Bluffs Fish Protective association filed an informa- tion in poliee court charging William Steilen, & young man living near Big lake, with vio- ing the law in pulling out fish by means of a net and throwing those that were too small upon the fce to freeze to death. For some reason or other, however, after a con- sultation with the park commissioners the information was withdrawn and the young man allowed o go fre Music at the Grand hotel Thursdays, as well as Sundays, at the dinner hour, 6 to N e st Gas cocking stoves for reut and for salo at Gas Co.'s office. _ Washerwomen Domestie s0ap. NEWS FROM COUNCIL BLUEFS Faith Healer Buck Interesting Crowds Nightly at Overton's Mission, SIGHT OF THE BLIND RESTORED Feature of the Entertainment that Falled to Attract the Audience Toward the Pearly Realms to the Disap- polntment of the Elder. Elder Buck, the faith Overton's mission each night with a crowd of curiosity seckers, together with a few who seem to believe sincerely in his powers as a medicine man, The “speaking in meet'n’ " is interspersed with enthusiastic singing and interjections such as “‘Amen” and “Praise the Lord.” One of the features of the Wednesday night meeting was the singing of what he termed “The New Song.” | He opened the bible at random and hit that part of Revelations which tells of a strange song which should be taught to a chosen 144,000, and which no one else could learn. “Now,” sald he, “i'll show you a veri- fication of that prophecy. right now. Here's my little girl, 7 years old, and She's only 7 she has never been taught to sing. I'm going to sing, and the Holy Spirit will put the words and music into my mouth. I never have sung this tuno before, and I never shall be able to sing it again, but this little girl will sing it right along with me, because the Holy Spirit will teach it to her as_she goes along.” The elder placed two chairs side by side on the platform, one for himself and the other for his daughter, who kept her eyes glued on his face for the next fifteen min- utes, The song commenced, and lasted for about a quarter of an hour, accompanied by a clapping of hands by the singer. It was several points shy on melody, but in volume it lacked nothing. Every now and then the singer’s voice would strike high G and break into several thousand flinders in a genuine Wagnerlan smash-up, but the singer would stick the pieces together on the next note, and go on as though nothing had hap- pened. There was apparently no attempt at atune, The little girl, in the meantime, was assiduously trying to Kesp up with the pro- cession, and managed to keep within three tones above or two below her father, and finally the end came. “Now, fsn’t that wonderful?” said the elder. “As I told you before, this little girl has never heard that tune, and this is the first time she ever sang in public, but you heard for yourself how she did it. And that is the kind of a song we're going to have in the New Jerusalem. How many of you want to go to heaven and hear that kind of a song? All of you get up.” Nobody got up excepting an old lady down in front and a grinning boy in the back seat, whose musical ears were below the average. The rest were all content to hear the new song_on this side the River Jordan. Elder Buck had been trying to heal pa- tients during the day, at $1 per heal, and one man who had been blind had been re- stored to sight. “Get up and tell us all about it, sister,” he called out to an old lady, the wife of the man who had been so miraculously blessed. “My husband has been so blind that some- times he couldn’t see anything, but now he can see things across the room,” said she. “I went up to him and sald: ‘Husband, stick your finger in my eye, so that T can see what wonders the Lofd has worked for you,' and he came up to me, and he stuck his finger right in my eyc, without missing the mark or having to feel around for it. Praise the Lord. “How old Is your husband, sister?” said the elder. “Oh, he's a hundred,” said the woman, “and he can use his legs better, and he can hear better, and he can talk better, and he can do everything better. Praise the Lord.” healer, Is filling ANNUAL CLEARING 8A Boston Store, Council Blaffs. The question of cost or value will not bo considered during this sale. Our alm is to_reduce stock.

Colonels Lindt and Dailey made their ar- guments yesterday morning before the Board of Supervisors in the matter of firing J. J. Watts, commissioner of the soldiers' rellef fund. The board tcok the matter under ad- visement, and just before adjourning passed a resolution denying the request of the members of Abe Lincoln post that Watts be turned off. This was foreseen by all who paid any particular attention to the progress of the investigation, for, particularly during its closing hours it was nothing more or less than a huge farce, carrie. on at the ex- pense of the taxpayers, for the benefit of the score or more of persons who attended. It {8 clalmed by Watts' friends that the dis- affection commenced among the members of Abe Lincoln post when he refused to take $25 out of the relief fund to be used in fitting up, a soldiers’ room at one cf the local hospitals. Upon making investigation he found that the room was not to be used exclusively for soldiers, and he consequently aid not feel autherized to spend the public money in that way. The Grand Army men who were getting up the scheme had it in for him from that time on, and went so far as to get together a ponderous pile of afdavits during December, 1892, and Jan uary, 1893, For some reason or other the afidavits have been sidetracked for the last twelve months, but last week were dragged out from their pigeon hole and pressed into active service, Besides attending to this matter, the board Ppassed a resolution iustructing the county treasurer to enforce the collection of de- finquent lquor taxes, and the county attorney to close up all saloons which were run with- out the payment of the taxes. The proposition of L. Swearingen, jr., to collect the costs due In clvil cases for one third of the amount realizad was accepted. The board then adjourned untit February 19 nis- Tear Down Your Cards.

Now it is discovered that through some hook or crook the ordinance was never published, €0 that it is dead as a door nail The_health department has been making a good many brilliant staggers at enforcing the law, but Dr. Macrae, jr., the city phy- sician, admitted yesterday afternoon that the city was powerless under the existing condi- tions of things to do any more than bluff, It is probable that an ordinance now pending before the council will be passed within a few weeks, but in the meantime nothing can be done if a smallpox patient should sud- denly decide to walk along Broadway, further than put in him in jail, and even in that event he could probably be released on a writ of habeas corpus in a few hours.

Bolin was passing the Chautauqua spring last evening about 7 o'clock, on his way from Underwood to Council Bluffs, when he was met by a man who dealt him a terrific blow over the head with a sandbag or the like, which stunned him. While he was in this condition the highwayman went through his pockets and stole $4 from one pocket, leaving another pocket which con- tained money untouched. When he recov- ered he found his team gone, elther having run away or been stolen by the thief. A lot of papers which he carried in his pocket in a long leather pocketbook were scattered along the road for some distance. He arose and started, as he thought, for home, but in- stead scon found himseif by A. F. Clatter- buck's place. He went in there and rested a while, and then started for home, reach- ing the police station at 10 o'clock.

C., Jan: 17.—The follow- ing advices from the Orléfit have been re- ceived by the steamer Bmpress of Japan: The situation in Peking is growing more complicated since the arrival of Viceroy Lui Kun Yih, Li Hung Chang's greatest enemy and head of the Hunan faction. The first evidence of Lui Kun Yih's influence is the fssuing of a decree condemning Admirals Ting Kung and Tao Tal to death, and all other officers in command of divisions yet alive who showed cowardics before, after or during battle. By this sweeping decree none of the generals or admirals escape. The decree states that as they are responsible for the necessary fall of Port Arthur death must be thelr penaity. The board of punishment will publicly disgrace the commanders be- fore execution. The mandate overrides Li Hung Chang's desperate attempt to “white- wash” every cowardly commander who de- serted his post at the fall of Port Arthur, Officers have been sent after Admiral Kung with instructions to bring him back alive or leave his dead body to the vultures, Kung will surely be taken. He is in hiding at Yang Cho. Kung is a brother of the Chinese minister to England, and, up to a recent date, under Li Hung Chang, was a very powerful politician at court. Lui has selected Kung for his special revenge on account of his enmity to Li Hung Chang. Lord Li, another impeached admiral, is in hiding and is in communication with Kung. Govern- ment spies have reported these facts to the authorities, so that his capture is certain, Admiral Ting is locked up with his fleet at Wei-Hai-Wei, It Is said if he hears of his fate he will cheat the executioner, as he is extremely proud and will not live to satisfy the hatred of his old rival, Lui. An edict issued a month ago by the em- peror of China to those within the palace precincts has just come to light. During this time it ha¢ been jealously guarded from the public, as It was hoped and wished that the young emperor, despairing and dis- couraged, would change his mind and recall his utterances. The translation of this most extraordinary edict issued by the emperor Quring the war has been obtained. It was given out when Wing Thung Tsao and Wen Thung Shih memorialized the emperor, sug- gesting the removal of the capital westward. The substance of this proclamation is as follows: “When we first took charge of the affairs of the empire it was our intention to intro- duce many . reforms. Suddenly and unex: pectedly the Japanese have broken the peac taken away our Corean dependency and taken possession of the borders of our empire. “We have sent our generals on whom we trusted with their armies to punish the enemies of peace and drive them away, but we never intended to disturb the peace of the Japanese empire, and this our ancestors and all forelgn nations will know. “Little did we expect that our generals were incompetent and in many cases untrust- worthy, and that the soldiers were insub- ordinate and il supplied ‘with the arms adequate, and large sums of money were ap- propriated by us to equip them, and it is for these reasons,that the Japanese have gained victory after ‘victory, and place after place, which causes us real concern and makes our ancestors restless in their fionored graves. Al this affliction and tnouble is because we are unworthy and have employed unfit men. If, however, the worst comes and the enemy secure our sacted altars then there remains nothing for us but to perish at- the altar of our fathers apd be gathered home to them, fighting to the last, as they did before us, for our country and our honor. “When' that time comes may you rever- ently escort the empress dowager westward and elect a worthy man to be your emperor, look after the sacred altars of our ancestors, revive thought and wipe out this terrible disgrace. ——— WALKER TROPHY REMAINS AT HOME.

FAURE IS PRESIDENT (Continued frem First Page)) tected by his obscurity even against the anger of .the democracy.”. SKETCH OF THE NEW M. Felix Faure was born in Paris on January 30, 1841. He was formerly a ship | owner of Havre and was president of the Chamber of Commerce of that town. During | the Franco-Prussian war he was a_chief of battalion of the Garde Mobile and led from Havre to Paris the volunteers who assisted in putting down the Commune. He was first elected to the Chamber of Deputies as a republican in 1881, and at the time of the formation of the Gambetta cabinet of No- vember 14, 1881, he became under-secretary of state In the then new ministry of commerce and the colonies. He relinquished office | with the other members of the cabinet in January, 1882, but he was called to fill the same office on September 24, 1883, in the Jast cabinet presided over by M. Jules Ferry, | and_resigned with the rest of the minlstry on March 31, 1885, M. Faure was elected to represent the Seine-Infericure in the elec- tions of October 4, 1885, and for the third time became under secretary of state, th time in the Tierard cabinet. In the elec- tions of September 22, 1889, he was elected to represent the second district of Havre, and in the Dupuy cabinet, which resigned just previous to the resignation of M. Casimir- Perier, he was minister of marine. M. Faure was slated for the presidency of the Chamber of Deputies in the event of the | election of either M. Brisson or M. Waldeck- Rousseau, The national assembly is composed of the Senate and Chamber of Deputies. The Senate is composed of 300 members and the Chamber of Deputies of 584 members. A president is_elected for seven years by a majority of the votes of the national assem- bly There have been five presidents of the third French republic. M. Thiers was elected August 13, 1871; resigned May 24, 1873; died September 3, 1877. Marshal MacMahon was elected May 24, 1873; resigned January 30, 1879; died October 17, 1893, Jules Grevy was elected January 30, 1879; re-elected December PRESIDENT. 2, 1885; resigned December 2, 1887; died September 9, 1890. M. Carnot was elected December 8, 1887; assassinated at Lyons, June 24, 1894, M. Casimir-Perier was elected June 27, 18 4; resigned January 15, 189 CAUSES PURELY LOCAL. French Ambassador Says the President's Resignation Wil Not Affect Other Nations WASHINGTON, Jan. 17.—Ambassador Paternotre of France talked interestingly today concerning the significant features of the resignation of President Casimir-Perler. t should not be understood,” said he, “that the resignation of the president will have any far-reaching effcct on the country. The republic is absolutely stable and secure and this event is one affecting only the ad- ministration of the government and not the government itself. It is no new thing for the presidents of France to resign. All of them, with the exception of Carnot, who was assassinated, resigned, “President MacMahon resigned, President Thiers resigned, President Grevy resigned. It is not surprising, therefore, that Casimir- Perier should resign, although his resignation was unexpected. The French system is so different” from the United States that no comparison can be made between the presi- dent’s position here and there. The French president selects his cabinet from the ma- jority, and when there is a change in the majority thera is a change in the cabinet. The president himself has but very little power, far short of those of the president of the United States. In this country the constitutional system is such that there need not be complete agreement between the cab- inet and the legislative branches. The cab- inet may have one view on an important public issue and congress may have a view directly to the contrary. But in France the cabinet s responsive to the legislative branch, and the president, as a part of the cabinet at the time, follows them. The present change is due entirely to a question of domestic importance which has no_inter- est or effect outside of the borders of France, 50 that the results of the resignation wili have no significance outside of France. And even there, as I have sald, it will affect only the machinery of government.” ROYALIST MANIFESTO 1SSUED, Duke of Orleans 18 Ready to Becomo the King of France. VERSAILLES, Jan, 17.—The duke of Orleans, pretender to the throne of France, issued a manifesto today. It was addressed to Senator Buffet and dwells upon the dangers of the present crisis, claiming that the president’s letter of resignation is an indictment of the present constitution. A republic in France, the duke claime, can never be other than a provisional regime. He adds: “The hour is near at hand when the country will wish to raturn to the form of government which was the glory of its past and is the guarantee of its future, Continuing the manifesto says: Provi- dence, in making me represent the monarchy, imposes upon me a heavy heritage. But the day that my country calls me I shall find all confidence and in my devotion the forco to fill my whole task. My life and blood will belong to France— to that France which my ancestors made great and respected. That will be the work of tomorrow. The task of today will be to_overcome immediate dangers.” The manifesto concludes with an appeal to the friends of the monarchy to vote for the candidate who is best able to maintain soclal internal order, and honor abroad, AURE'S ELECTION CAUSK] ador Patenotre Taiks Concerning the New President. WASHINGTON, Jan. 17.—The news of the election of M. Felix Faure as president of France was a surprise to the members of the French legation here. Ambassador Pat- enotre, in speaking of the matter to an A ‘ciated press reporter said: “M. Faure, while not one of the most prominent men in (France, has held a number of Important posts. He been president of the Cham- ber of Deputies, which shows that he is popular. He was minister of marine in the last cabinet, the one whose overthrow a few days ago led to President Perier's resigna- tion, In politics he is a moderate republican id_holds very nearly the same views as Perler. No doubt he will form a cabinet peace France's SURPRISE. Amb containing a number of the same men who were in the late cabinet. M. Faure is a man of middle age, tall and handsome.
