Coples may be obtained from the secretary of the nission. The work of constructing the telephone line between Missourl Valley and Council Bluffs, which has been geing on for a num- ber of months past, has been completed, and was thrown open to the public yesterday. It is one of the latest and most improved metallic circuits, and connects both Missouri Valley and Crescent with Council Bluffs.

A report recelved here Is to the effect that rather than try to earn his Keeping by labor within prison walls he cut a finger off with a knife given him to work with, and in that way secured tho much longed-for idleness. Tho property owners and residents of the Fourth ward are not resting easily these nights, sirce it has become known a band of burglars has been systematically working the ward. In one night, not g ago, at- tempts were made to enter no less than eleven houses in cne neighborhood, among them being those of Messrs. Campbell, M. S. Mumma, D. B. Dailey, G. C.

He issued an execution and had an officer take possession of the stand, which is now owned by Ed Strow. The latfer flashed a recelpt in full, signed by the representa- tive of the company in whose favor the judg- ment had been issued. ‘For some reason or other the judgment had never been satisfled on the docket.

They claim that he will show up In due form when he has to, and will cause a sensation when he does so. With this end in view he has besn sum- moning a large number of young men as witnesses in the case, and the young men weferred to are full of anxiety lest their con- nection with the case may surprise some of their friends. Five long acts were insufficient to satisfy the people at Dohany's last night, and al- though Fritz Emmet’s happy face was shin- ing when the curtain rose and beaming when it fell on the last scene, his friends did not eo enough of him. He always delights a Councll Bluffs audience, and at no time more thoroughly than last night. The attendance, of course, was not near what it should have been, although it was one of the best hiouses of the season.

Bishop Newman lectured to a good sized udience at the Broadway Methodist ehurch last evening on the usbject, “‘America for Americans.” It was & patriotic effort throughout, dealing with the Roman Catholic church as one of the principal enemies to the republican form of government. He tayored a narrower limitation of the right of suffrago and stricter immigration laws, pointing out that at the present rate of im- migration the United States in the year 1900 will have 45,000,000 of its 75,000,000 inhab- itants forelgners.

M, TREYNDR'S HOUSE WELL RANSACKED Mrs. MeKane Knocked Senseloss by the Thief she Discovered—Timely Retarn of Mrs. Treynor Frightens the Intrader Away, Minus Plander. One of the boldest daylight burglaries that ever took place in Council Bluffs was per- petrated at the residence of 1. M. Treynor, on First avenue, near the corner of Sixth street, yesterday afternoon between 4:30 and & o'clock. H. G. P. Oblinger, Mrs. Treynor's father, left the house at 4:30, after seeing that the doors were securely fastened. The house was empty at the time, but in a few minutes Mrs M. McKune opened the front door with ber latch key and went in She went upstaires and sat down at her writing desk. While she was writing she suddenly felt a mysterious impression that some behind her, and, turning around, saw a man standing only a few feet away. Neither of them uttered a word, but Mrs. McKune arose from her chair. Before she had fairly arisen he struck her a terrific blow on the head, just behind the right ear. She fell senseless on the flcor. About 5 o'clock Mrs. Treynor returned home. Before she reached the house she noticed that several windows were open. As soon as she opened the front door ecalled upstaires to see if Mrs. McKune was there, thinking that possibly something might be wrong. She reseived no response, and, beginning a_tour through the house, she found a bundle done up carefully in a shect lying on the floor of one of the downstaires bed rooms. She at once surmised that bur- glars had been in the house, and ran out of the door to alarm the coachman. He rushed in and went upstaires, calling down a moment later for her to come up, that Mrs. McKune dead. And it was more than a quarter of an hour before it was certain that the coachman's statement was not true. She at last revived from the stunning blow the rob- ber had dealt her, and in an hour or two was able to give a coherent account of the affair. She described the thief as about five feet seven inches in height, medium build, with black hair and moustache and piercing black es. He wore a brown derby hat and brown cutaway coat, a shirt that some weeks befor had been white and no collar. She is cert that she would know him if she saw again. Upon being opened, the bundle that lay in the bed room was found to contain goods worth from $500 to $600. There were two eal skin cloaks, two party dresses, a dress suit, a_silver mirror and silver-backed comb, a lot of fine linen bedding and towels, besides a number of other articles of value. The upper part of the house had evidently been gono through thoroughly before the thief discovered Mrs. McKune. After he had si- lenced her he then went down stairs and made up his pack, putting into it the contents of closels and wardrobes in the lower part of the house. The only thing that was missed was a purse containing $1 The theory is that Mrs. Treynor home frightened the rascal before his work was done. How he got in is a mystery. The house is located in one of the most public of places, and it would have been almost im- e ble for any one to have getten in at a window without being seen. All the doors were found locked after the burglary. Mr. Treynor is of the opinion that the fellow got in during the middle of the day, when house cleaning was going on, and remained hidden until he had a chance to do his work. At 11 o'clock last evening Mrs. McKune was not feeling as well as earlier in the even- ing, and her physician gave orders that she should be watched all night. Her head is badly contused, but ths skull is not thought to have been fractured. one was n him s coming ANNUAL CLEARING SALE, RBoston Store, Council Bluff: The question of cost or value will not be considered during this sale.

Joe Young Arrested, Joe Young, who lives on Avenue A, near Twenty-second street, and s in the stock business, was arrested yesterday on an In- formation filed in a justice court at South Omaha by Parkhurst & Hopper, commission men of that place, charging him with obtain- ing money under false pretenses. The arrest grows out of a cattle deal, the firm taking a lot of cattle to sell for Young on commis- sion, The cattle sold for less than Young paid for them, and both he and the commis- sion men lost money through the deal, The amount the firm claim to have lost is $924, but Young claims that is far more than the right amount. He claims that the company ara merely trying to collect a debt through the criminal courts, and as Hopper, of the company, refused to tell his side of (he case, the public ¢an have only one story from which to judge. Young was arrésted at Hastings, Ia,.by Chief Scanlan yesterday and brought liere. He refused to go to Ne braska without requisition, and was taken befcre Justice Vien and arraigned as a fugitive from justice, He gave a bond in the sum of $500, 'B. W. Mickelwaite, a wealthy young man from Mills county, signing the bond. The case is set for a hearing before Justice Vien next Saturday, but it will prob- ably never come up, inasmuch as the requi- sition will undcubtedly be secured before that time, CLOAKS Traded In, Good second-hand stoves of every de- scription, that have been traded In on Cole's Air Tights, for sals cheap.

A report was recently filed with the city council by the park commissioners, setting forth the expenses of the commission during the year just closed. It was plgeonholed and no action was taken. It contalns sev- eral things of Interst to the public, however, among other things a table showing the names of the various park tracts belonging to the city, with the number of acres comprised in each. It may be a matter of news to a good many people in Counctl Blufts to know that it has more park lands than any other ity In the state. Bayliss park contains 3.6 acres and Fairmount park 84 acres. These parks have been improved to a certain ex tent and are known and admired ail over the state. Comparatively little money ha been* epent upon them, and the scenery is very neatly as it has been for several thou- sand years, Cochran park, with its 2 acres, ‘Is now being gradually brought into shape, and all the rest are unimproved Island park, on the Burlington, six miles below the city, contains 102 acres, and Lake View park, near Big lake, 444 acres. Cook and Graham parks, in Morningside, contain three and six acres, respectivel The lack of improvements on most of these parks is due to the lack of funds. Only 1 mill can be levied per annum, thus giving )00 with which to beautify the parks. The office of commissioner carries with it no salary, and it costs just about $5,000 a year to pay the running expenses of the parks, without making any very large im- provements. The plans for the coming year are not yet fully matured, and will not be until it is determined how much additional money will be on hand. At the next meeting ot the commissioners, to be held February 4, o resolution will probably be adopted asking the council to submit a proposition to the voters at the spring clection for an addi- tional tax levy. The sum of $3,098 was ex- pended by the commissioners last year out of the general fund, which left this fund entirely empty and with $671 in unpaid warrants out- standing. Besides 'this, $1,200 'was bor- rowed from the sinking fund to be used in keeping the parks in shape. As soon as next spring's tax comes in this loan will be paid back, the outstanding warrants cashed and the commission will have only about $3,000 to go on, unless an additional tax levy is voted. The only improvements mentioned by the park commissioners in their yearly report are the building of the road into Fairmount park at the head of Tenth avenue, the grad- ing of the streets around Cochran park and the planting of trees and shrubs in Cochran park. All the other money spent was for merely keeping in shape the improvements already made. And the Dog Came Back. Nig Marcy is spending a vacation at the home of Captain Marcy, on Frank street. Nig Is a big, black Newfoundland dog, who is knawn to the whole neighborhood where he used to live. Several months ago Captain Marcy gave him to Newell Burchard t> keep at his farm, east of the city. Nig was well taken with his surroundings, but managed to come to the city every week or so, spending two or three days, after which he would go back to the farm. Not long ag) Burchard de- cided to move to a_Kansas farm, and he t-ok his family, including tae dog, with him. Night before last Captain Marcy was sur- priged to see his old pet come limping up the front walk. He had come all the way from Kansas to Council Bluffs, a distance of 300 miles, cn foot, and when he reached here he was so lame that he could hardly mcve. His gaunt body showed that the free lunches along his ruote had not been numerous or extravagant. How he ever found his way here I8 one of the mysteries that will never be solved. All that is known is that a couple of weeks ago he disappeared from his Kansas haunts, and ncw is wagging tails with his canine friends in Council Bluffs. Save Your Money.

Fred Evers, who keeps a butcher shop near the corner of Broadway and Twenty- third streets, met with a bad accident yes- terday afternoon while hanging a side of beet on a hook. He was standing on a chair, but the chair tipped over and he was thrown to the floor. As he fell, one of the big hooks used for hanging meat caught him in the left arm at the elbow and tore a tremendous slit to the wrist, scraping the bone the entire distance. The wound bled profusely, and Dr. Montgomery, who was summoned to bind it up, stated last evening that amputation would probably have to be resorted to in order to save the member.

SEASIDE ATHLETIC ISLAND, N. Y., Jan, 18 Dempsey, the ‘‘Nonpareil,” was again to make an effort to demonstrate that he was still in the pugilistic swim by meeting Tommy Ryan of Chicago in the roped arena here, at- tracted fully 4,500 devotees of the art to the Seaside arena tonight. The first bout between Frank Patterson of Brooklyn Sammy Campbell, “Mammy Coon.” Patter- | son got the decislon. The next was one of ten rounds at catchwelghts between Jimmy Dime of Amsterdam, and Jerry Marshall of Australia. Dime weighed 130 pounds and Marshal, 126, The latter is a colored man. The referee’s decision was in favor of Dime. Ryan was the first to enter the ring and he took the “lucky” corner, which had previously been occupied by Patterson and Dime. His seconds were Joe Choynski of San Francisco, Harry Pigeon of Chicago, Mick Dunn of Australia and George Siddons of New York. Dempsey entered the ring at 10:55. His sec- onds were “Brooklyn” Jimmy Carrol, Martin Dempsey, his brother, and Frank Patterson. His welght was 142 pounds, and Ryan's was 145, The bout was to be fifteen rounds at catch weights. Dempsey looked a trifle fat, but. Ryan was in excellent condition. They simply tapped each other in the first round, and a number of people yelled, “‘take him off;” “Dempsey’s drunk.” "In the sec- ond round Ryan Kept punching Dempsey in the stomach without ‘a return, and then smashed him in the jaw. Ryan played with Dempsey and then smashed him in the mouth, ~ Ryan landed on the body, and the crowd kept shouting, “take him off.” Ryan hit Dempsey on the jaw and floored him Dempsey got up staggering. The crowd then yelled louder than before: “Take him off; it's a_shame; take him off.” In the third round Jack got mad and went after his man, but Ryan stopped him and forced him to the ropes. Ryan hit Dempsey whenever he wished in the mouth-and in the face, and in response to the frequent yells of the spectators the gong sounded out, and the fight was stopped. The announcer said Dempsey's friends had requested that the fight should be stopped, and although Demp- sey seemed to be anxious to go on the referee gave the fight to Ryan. Dempsey was in no condition, and his “throw down” to his friends and admirers may do much toward the downfall of boxing in this vicinity. Ryan conld have knocked Dempsey out in the first round, but he let up on the once famous “Nonpareil.” The fight took place within a stone’s throw of where “Juck” fought and won his first battle. CLUB, CONEY ~The fact that Jack was and TWO RACE TRACKS FOR 'FRISCO. Probability of a Serious Clash Between Racing Interesis In the City. SAN FRANCISCO, Jan. 18.—Two race tracks may be in full blast in San Francisco this fall. There is a cloud on the racing horizon and a repetition of the famous Haw- thorne-Garfield Park clash is not improbable in this city. The story of the purchase of the Sutro property near Ingleside for a race track was made public about a year ago. At that time the impression prevatled’ that the new syndi- cate was in entire harmony with the stock- holders of the California_Jbckey club, es- pecially as Willlams, Ed Corrigan and several others had stock in both' concerns. The proposed new track at Ingleside may never be built, however, as it will be war to the knife in San Francisco racing circles, as Tom Williams has declared Limself opposed to the building of a track at Ingleside. As $100,000 has already been paid for the prop- erty and a similar amount is due in two months, something will have to be done right speedily In this matter. A meeting of the stockholders of the new track proposition is to be held on Saturday, when final plans will be arranged. It is possible that the 16 per cent of stock held by Tom Williams may be purchased by the other stockholders, of whom Ed Corrigan and Joe Ullman are two of the largest. In that event the new track will at once be constructed. Five Favorites First at Bay District, SAN FRANCISCO, Jan. 18.—Thls was a good day for favorites and they won every race.

Abrahams prayed for an injunction to restrain the city from allowing the sewer- age system outlet ditches from discharging into the Rawhide creek, claiming that the waters thereof were badly polluted thereby and rendered unfit for use. A trial of the case was had before Judge Sullivan, continu- ing for several days, and a great many wit- nesses were examined, those (n the part of the city contending that the Rawhide creek it not polluted by the sewer, as the sewer water runs in open ditches several miles be- fore reaching the creek, and there is also a large volume of fresh water constantly used in_flushing the sewers. The decision of Judge Sullivan is in favor of the city and denfes the injunciion asked or. for. Cankniia MOTORS FOR MAIL CARRIERS, Plan for Metter Postal Scrvice for South Omaha Ready for Approval. Arrangements are belng perfected by Chiet Clerk Vandervoort of the United States rafl- way mall service to Inaugurate a new mail service between Omaha and South Omaha, which will be a decided improvement on the present system and give South Omaha a ¢ | livery system on the same schedule as th ot Omaha. It has been rumored for several days around the federal bullding that the of South Omaha were dissatisfied with the present system of sending mail by train from Omaha to South Omaha. The matter was referred to Chiet Clerk Vandervoort, and after discussing several plans to give South Omaha quicker and more frequent de- livery service it was decided that the best remedy would be to make up the pouches containing South Omaha mail at Omaha and send them down on the trains of the Omaha Street Railway company. Frank Murphy, president rallway company, was seen and an agree- ment_quickly reached. The contracts were drawn up and Mr. Murphy's signature affixed thereto yesterday. The papers will be sent to Washington at once, and immediately upon the approval of the second assistant post- master general the new motor mall service between Omaha and South Omaha will go into effect. ~ The practice of sending South Omaha mall to the depot and forwarding it on trains will be discontinued and Uncle m will utilize the street railway service The new service will also enable their cor- respondence to reach Omaha and make quick connections with castern maj well as giving South Omaha the benefit of prompt recelpt of mail recelved at Omaha for the bustling southern suburb, Dr. Price's Baking Powder has the best keeping properties, because it's absolutely pure, citizens of the street e ANOTHER BANK RORBED, Edwin 0.

DES MOINES, Jan, 18.—(Special Tele- gram.)—The suspension of Chief of Police Johnson ard three other officers by Mayor Hillls last night created a sensation when it became generally known this morning. A well known attorney sald today that there would b2 an immense sensation be- fore the investigation of the grand jur closed its labors. Having been before the grand jury himself on the same matter (the question of gambling), he is naturally supposed to know a good deal more about the subject than he could make public, and in fact” he implied as much, One of the officers who was suspended said that they could _completely vindicate themselves, but that they would not be responsible if other people got their toes trampled on in the operation, hinting that the mayor was try- ing to shift a load that he did not like to carry. But, however, whatever may be the “real animus of ‘the suspensions and ¢harges flled, there will be a full investiga- tion, Used a n a Woman, DES MOINES, Jan. 18.—(Special Tele- gram,)—The sequel to the shooting of Fred Barber by Mrs. thal on Monday occurred this morning, when Mrs, Fthal was shot by Barber. Soon after Mrs. Ethal's hus- band had gone to work Mrs. Iithal heard a rap at the door, and on opening it in stepped Barber. Barber grabbed her and with an oath said, “Now 1 have you, and you won't get away from me this time.” Pright gave her extra strength and she freed herself from his grasp and started to run, when he pulled a revolver and fired two shots at her, one going wide of its mark, but the next striking her i the back. She fell and called him a cowardly vil- lain to use a gun on a defenseless woman, When she threatened him with arrest he laughed all the police and detectives in the city could not arr for they could mot find him. The hildren, who were up, ran out of the house screaming. This brought Barber to the sense of his danger and he started to the woods, accompanied by an unknown aman who had been waiting outside, and who s supposed to be the same who was with Barber the last time he was there. No arrests have been made.

WASHINGTON, Jan, 18.—A proposition from the stockholders of the Union Pacific railway was presented to congress today, of- fering to assess themselves enough to pay all bonds which have priority over the lien of the United States in consideration of the extension of the loan for fifty years. The | proposition states a part of the loan for which the government is responsible, $33,53 512, will mature before the meeting of the Fifty-fourth congress. They represent that in consequence of the business depression there has been a marked falling off in busi- ness, amounting to 48 per cent for the first ten months of 1894, as compared with 1893, and that this has resulted in a fallure to meet the bonds of the various divisions of the road. The propositions for changes in the Reilly bill, which were submitted to the house com- mittee on Pacific railways by representatives of the Union Pacific, have been rejected. The vote taken in commiltee was unmis- takably against adopting any malerial amendments to the measure, which is now on the calendar of the house. That proposal upon which the Union Pacific laid most stress, a reduction of the rate of interest on the government debt, met with general favor. Amendments to meet the views of receivers | and sharchollers may be made before the bill 4s placed before the house, but today's meeting was probably the last important ses sion of the committee before the house takes up its measure, WAITING ON THE OYERLAND, Formath Agreement by Western Lines Depends Upon the Overland, CHICAGO, Jan. 18.—The formation of a passenger agreement by the western and transcontinental lines now rests entirely with the Union Pacific. Nobody knows what that line will do, and it is doubtful if it knows itself. The line of action it will pursue is dependent upon the fight now in progress for separate receiverships for the Qregon Short Line and Utah Northern. If this is won by the latter lines the Rock Island and the Burlington will make a deal with the Oregon Short Line for the handling of their business beyond Ogden, and if that is carried out the Union Pacific will cut a small figure in the calculations of the other lines regarding the formation of the association. All efforts look- ing to the adoption of an agreement have practically ceased and there {s small chance of their being resumed until it Is known what the Union Fucific can and will do, Mlinols Central Keaching Ont.
