NEWS FROM COUNCIL BLUFFS| Frank Naproviek Has a Deoidedly Un- p'easant Matrimonial Experience, HI3 NEW WIFE RAN OFF WITH H.S MONEY They Met In a Plerce Street Resort, Were Married in Omaha Friday and Now His Dream is Ended Rudelys Frank Naprovenek has been running a tiny shoe shop at 114 Broadway for the | last eighteen months, but yesterday he left Lis shop in the hands of an employe and de- voted all his time and energles to the ac- cumulation of a jag that should outshine anything in local annals. Last Friday he and a denizen of a house at 137 Plerce street went over to Omaha and were married by a justics of the peace. They had been con- stant in their attentions to one another, but later developments have shown that his bride, who was known as either Ida White or Ida Strong, as might be most convenient, was smitten more with the glitter of the old man's gold than with his charms of face or manner. They returned to the little shop on Upper Broadway and spent three nights there. Yesterday morning Naprovenck awoke to find he partner of his joys and sorrows fled, She had arisen in the stilly night, opened her licge lord’s trunk, abstracted $65 of his money, and skipped for no one knows what destination. The old man, when he made the discovery, was half wild with anguish, and spent a good share of the morning tell- ing his sorrows to his sympathizing friends. During, the afternoon Naprovenek was found at the former home of his wife on the row, and there with a voice that sounded very much like Limburger, with beer and whisky on the side, he poured out the story of his woes. He denfed the report that he had lost $2,000 of his hard earned wealth, and said that $65 was all he lost. He had plenty more, but how much, or where he Kept It, were two questions which he de- clined to answer. He said he intended to put the police on the unfaithful lady's trail, Cold Weather Bargains.

At a late conference of the Reorganized Church of Jesus Christ of Latter Day Saints held in Fremont county it was de- clded to hold the mext annual _reunion of southwestern Towa at Council Bluffs. The local soclety here has appointed a committee of arrangements composed of ‘Robert Mes Kenzie, C. A. Beebee, A. B. Mair, J. D. Stuart ‘and D. K. Dodson. As soon as the weather moderates steps will be taken by this committee to secure a proper location, and as there will be a large number in at- tendance from this and adjoining counties, it will be necessary to secure grounds where a ‘“canvas city” can be erected, as the great majority will come prepared to tent and spend a week in rural life, The meet- ings will be held the latter part of August or early In September and will continue over two Sundays.. Efforts will be mads to have some of the best talented speakers in the .| church, No effort will be spared in making this one of the prominent gatherings in western life for 1895. One thing that will help to make these meetings a success is the prominent consideration this church is hav- ing in tha courts of the land and the de- fensive and aggressive efforts of its ministry, which have forced recognition by the clergy and laity all over the country to such an extent that prejudice is fast passing away and people everywhere are beginning to learn f| that this people deserve recognition for their honesty of purpose and desire to be in har- -| mony with the Christianity of New Testa- ment times. To any charltable organization or to any t | person for charitable purposes we will fur- nish groceries and provisions at actual cost, and deliver same to any part of the city. BARTLETT GROCERY CO., ‘ 744 Broadway. Planning for Riprapping. J. C. Meredith, division engineer in charge of the government riprapping along the Mis- sourl river, is in the city making arrange- ments for beginning the proposed repairs on e | the dikes along the east bank near Council Blufts, He has arranged to open an office in the government building within the next day or two. The contract for repairs has been let to 8, H, Atwood of Plattsmouth, and e | he has been hauling rock for several days, depositing it near the foot of Twenty-first street on the river bank. The repairs will commence a short distance north of the ter- minal bridge and extend about three miles, the estimated cost being $20,000. What de- t [ lays the work now is the formal authorization 0| of the secretary of war. This is expected to arrive any day now and the work will be commenced immediately, It is not likely that any new riprapping will be put in until next fall, but the summer will be put in on the o | repairs, €| The fact is never questioned that Price’s Cream Baking Powder is absolutely pure. Mr. John N. Baldwin is quoted as saying that some of his admiring friends are talk- ing of him as a possible candidate for goy- ernor, and that while it would be a great pecuniary sacrifice for him to take the office, yet he would make the sacrifice for the sake of the grand old party, and let the honor of - | the position offset the Ingvitable shrinkage in income. Mr. Baldwin Is known as one of the most prominent rallway “attorneys In Towa, and if his friends could possibly secure for him the nomination he would doubtless recelve a hearty support from the railways. While It is true that Mr. Baldwin a few years ago strayed into the democratic camp and made vigorous battle against the repub- lcan nominee for congress o this distriet, yet he has been secking to atone for this of late by renewing his allegiance and waking some eloquent campaign speeches in various parts of the state, It Snowed 1 | Yesterday, ana we were snowed in by peo- ple who were buying frames and pictures ¢ | at our great half price sale.

Harry Grate and Pearl Utterback, two of the Salvation army’s most prominst mem- bers, were united in matrimony last evening by Staft Captain C. 8. Cousens of Omaha, amid a chorus of “hallelujahs” and “‘amens’ that shook the walls of Liberty hall as they have not been shaken before since the rising generation used to graduate there from the public schools. There was a good-sized audi- ence present. A few of the well-worn Sal- vation army songs were sung by way of In- troduction, and while everybody was singing “What Shall the Harvest Ba?” the brdal party marched up the a'sle. Martin Jen- sen, clad In a smile and other regalia, acted as best man, and Miss Mary Zintz was bridesmald, While one-half the audiencs was applauding and the other half singing they teok their places on the platform in the front row of seats, the rows back being occupfed by members of the army, each lady wearing a white eash, gracefully draped over one shoulder. The chaplain from Omaha sang a_solo, ac companylng himself on a banjo. The mo striking stanza of the hymn was one descrip- tive of the way In which his democracy and all other bad traits disappearcd from his char- acter when he turncd over a new leaf and joined the army. Then one after another of the warriors against sin gave their experi- ences and exhortations in short speeches, and finally, when the audience had begun to shara the evident uneasiness of the bride and groom, the staff captain opened the ritual and commenced the ceremony. The bride and groom each made a vow that they were marrying, not to increass their own happiness, but to enable them to work together for the glory of God more effectually, and when the right time came the grcom fished a ring out of his hip pocket and slipped it on the bride's finger. After Captain Cousens had pro- nounced them husband and wife there was a pause for only a second, when the bride's brother, from somewhere behind the scenes, called out in a lusty tone of voice, “‘K'ss her, Grate.”” And Grate kissed her. Before the kiss was finished a good part cf the audi- ence, having seen what It came for, had filed out of the door. During the service a collection of about $5 was taken, the bride acting as deacon, the money to go to help on with the army work. Mr. Grate, the young man whose matrimon'al career was ushered in in so decisive a manner, is a lineman with the Western Union Tele- graph_company. Both he and his bride will carry “with them the best wishes of the friends of the Salvation army, for which they have done so energetic work. Edmundson’s Musie Box. A lawsuit, which has been pending for two years and a half, and which involved in tho start a difference of only $4 between the plaintiff and defendant, occupled all of yes- terday In the district court. It is a fight for the possess'on of a music box, valued at 2,000 francs, or $400, which Mr. Edmundson bought when he was in Geneva, Switzerland. It was made to order by the firm of Baker & Co., and was to be set down free of all charges at Edmundson’s house in this oity. Edmundson paid 1,000 francs down and was to pay the rest when the instrument arrived at h's home. The instrument came, and with it a bill for 1,000 francs, plus $4 freight charges. Mr. Edmundson immediately made up his mind ‘that the manufacturers were trying to “work” him in a small way, and he determined not to be worked. He accordingly refused to take the instrument in the regular way, but commenced a sult against the man- ufacturers for the 1,000 francs he had al- ready pald them, and attached the instrument for security. Since the commencement of the sult the music box has been stored at Mueller’s, in the custody of the sheriff. It is one of the finest instruments of the kind ever seen in this part of the country, and plays thirty tunes, none of which, however, have yet been heard on this side the At- lantie. The eminent chemist of Ann Arbor, Prof. Prescott, declares Dr. Price's Baking Powder absolutely pure. e DROPPED A BOTTLE OF BENZINE, Pecullar Accident that Cansed the Destruc- tion of a Lincoln Drug Store. LINCOLN, Feb. 11.—(Special Telegram.)— At 10:30 this morning a bottle of benzine w. dropped near the stove in Scribner's drug store, 119 South Eleventh street, and before the fire department left the scene the stock was totally destroyed and the interior com. pletely wrecked. The lcss is $4,000; insured for $3,500. 1 B A Fire in the Wholesale Houses: INDIANAPOLIS, Feb. 11.—Another great fire broke out this afternoon in the wholesalo district on South Meridian street. It started in the wholesale grocery of George W. Stout, The alarm scunded at 2 o'clock and the num. ber coming from the wholesale district a once attracted streams of people. An explo- sion occurred and the fire spread rapidly. The top floors of the immense building of the Stout Grocery company fell at 2:25 p. m. with a crash, The third floor burst out into the street and was followed by sheets of flame that forced their way out through the smoke and curled up over the adjoining buildings, In_anticipation of the giving way of the walls the police had forced the crowd back. The flames licked around the ‘corner of the grocery building and seemed to be trying to communicate to Kiefer's drug bullding. Four streams were turned on this building and every effort made to keep the fire from spreading. There were a number of loud re- ports at 2:40 p. m. like explosions, and these were followed by additional smoke. The walls shook and trembled and Fire Chief Webster sald it would be a miracle if the walls did not fall outward. At 2:40 p. m. nine streams were on the front of. the building, but they were having no visible effect on the fire, ALLECED ROBBERS ARRESTED Two Men Jailed at Red 0!‘;k Jor Holding Up a Jeweler. PART OF THE BOOTY. RECOVERED They Return with Ofcers from Nebraska Without Requisitions+Frank Johnson and William Smith Given as Thelr Names RED OAK, Ta, Feb. 11.—(Special Tele- gram.)—The two robbers who held up L. H. Towner in his jewelry store Friday evening in this city were capturéd Saturday afternoon in Nebraska City. They were brought back here by Sherift Logan, without requisition papers, and safely lodged in jall last night. This morning they were arraigned be- fore Justice Hanna, charged with robbery. The prisoners waived examination, and were committed to jail to awalt the action of the grand jury. About $200 worth of stolen goods were found upon the elder of the two, who gave his name as Frank Johnson, that of his companion as Willlam Smith. John- scn, who is about 37 years old, Is a rough looking fellow, with a determined expression upon his face. He claims he was given the Jewelry by two men in Red Oak Friday night. His story is very disconnected, and dos not bear the mark of truth. His companion is an inoffensive appearing fellow, about 25 years cld. He disclaims any knowledge of the robbery. He says ha met Johnson in Shenandoah Friday night for the first time and they went to Hamburg together in a box car, and from there walked to Nebraska City. Smith claims to be from Kingman county, Kansas, and Johnson from Lee county, where he has worked upon a farm for the last eight months, It is very likely there were others connected with the robbery who have not yet been located. TI0WA'S BIG Des Molnes People Golng Down Into Thelr Pockets to Keep It Golng. DES MOINES, Feb. 11.—(Special)—The managers of the Towa state fair have reached the conclusion that they can no longer run that exposition without passing 'round the hat and extending the hand for charity. At a conference held the past week between the executive committee of the state fair and a number of leading business men the latter were given the ultimatum of raising $10,000 or having no fair in Des Moines this year, If ever again. So the business men have gone generously to work and will probably have little trouble in securing pledges for the required amount. This will be done by disposing of 20,000 admission tickets, so the people will get at least a slight return for their money. The reason for this condition of things is that two years ago the recelpts of the state fair were kept down by the superior counter attraction of the World's falr at Chigagoand the soclety came out about $25,000 in debt. The legis- lature the next winter made an appropriation of $20,000 to help thé sodiety out. Last year there were a number of counter at- tractions in the city and'on the chief day of the fair the weather was so bad that there was comparatively no attendance. The soclety is now about $16,000 in debt. The people of this city and state’have acted very gencrously by the state falr. Years ago it went about on wheels and. was constantly in debt, with no permanent hame or prospects. The state leglslature was finally induced to appropriate $50,000 on condition that the pecple of Des Moines would raise an equal amount, which ‘they did; and the present grounds (about 250 adres) iwere purchased. Some $80,000 has beef expended in build- ings and the fair has generally more than paid expenses until the past. two :years. Bfforts ‘have been mude time and again to inducerthe falr managementito put & mile track and pay more attention to speed con- tests, but go far these efforts have failed. There has also been a great deal of complaint because no new attractions have been added and people huve grown tired of coming to see the same old'pumpkin show, with 10-cent side shows. The managers explain that the fair property belongs to the state and they are noti-permitted to mortgage It for -the purpose of adding modern attractions, though when the soclety comes out in debt they are asked to go down into their individual pockets to tide over the financial straits. Experience s sald to be a pretty good teacher, and it Is possible the next legisla- ture may be brought to sec the necessity of doing something in a sensible and modern way for the state fair, BOMB THROWN INTO A BED ROOM. arrow Escape of un Iows Farmer's Family from a Flend's Vengennce. LINEVILLE, Ia., Feb. 11.—(Special Tele- gram,)—An effort was made last night to blow up the res'dence of Sol Litton, a prom- inent farmer, living a mile south of here.

Complain- ants charge that the defendants had con- spired to gain control of the smelting com- pany's property in Pitkin county, Colorado, and to that end thev, as directors, executed two mortgages on the plant and then sought to diminish the earnings o as to prevent the payment of the Interest on the mortgages. The United States federal court in Colorado upheld the validity of the second mortgage for $10,000, but enjoined the defendants from selling the property in order to satisfy the first mortgage for $18,000. Judge Thayer, who wrote the opinion, held that as Ben- sieck and Wenzel advanced $18,000, less 20 per cent commission, they did not commit fraud of any kind. The Colorado court was directed to enter a modified decree direct- ing the smelting company to pay to Ben- sleck and Wenzel the amount actually ad- vanced by them, $14,400, with interest from August 1, 1891, In the event that Bensieck and Wenzel are not paid they are at liberty to sell the property. ——— The Midwinter fair confirmed the World's falr verdict: “Dr. Price’s Baking Powder is absolutely pure.” RN S NEIW ORLEANS' FIRST MAYOR.

VANCOUVER, B, C., Feb. 11.—Among the passengers by the Warrimwo was F. H. Holmes, private secretary of Damon, Hawallan minister of finance, who is enroute to England on a vacation. He says there has been mo change in the situation since the arrivai of the last steamer, but he be- lieved the effectual manner in which the revolution wa: © quelled will prevent any further uprising. The natives were much disgusted at the fiasco and despised Wilcox for his cowardly surrender. In his opinion capital punishment will not be inflicted on the conspirators, not because the govern- ment lacks courage, but because the country is free from grave offenses and infliction™of the severest penalty of the law would be revolting to the people. Holmes emphatically states that the trials as conducted so far have been generally fair and that the ap- pointment of Judge Whiting as president of the court and Lawyer Kennin as judge advocate was considered favorable to the prisoners, Wi —_————— TERN PENSIONS.
