May Have n Race Meet, Tho committec which was appointed sev- eral weeks ago to make arrangements for a race meeting under the auspices of the Gany- mede Wheel club this summer has been cor- responding with the executive committee of the League of American Wheelmen for the purpose of making arrangements for the ad- mission of Council Bluffs into the national elrcult, Tho application, with the stipulated $10 fee, is now on file, and the board is to havo a meeting April 10, to decide upon the claims to eligibility. If Councl Bluffs is admitted to the circuit all the best racing men of the country will be here, but if not the plan of having a meet will probably be abandoned. In case the scheme carries the motor company, it is thought, will combine with the wheelmen to make & good quarter or halt mile track between Council Bluffs and Omaha.

He also read the following summary of the cost of running the city government for the past few years 3 s year ending March ous 1 3 1wl 11 v ending ) 1 18 *ending M 18 ollowing shows the amo for the use of wat L 180 Tt . 1862, March ¢ March ¢ March March 1, 18 the year ending March 1, 1568 C. M. Harl was then introduced, and made a rousing specch, in which he quoted Mr. Brice, who sald that the one consplcuous failure fn this country is our municipal gov- crnments, Every man who owns his little home I8 made to feel the burdens of taxation, and yet comparatively little attention is pald to seeing that a good government is fur- nished, that the citizens receive a fair value for the price they pay. He referred to the system of regulating gambling and the social evil now in vogue as merely a species of blackmail. An organization like the one pro- posed should be formed, and its members should be pledged to investigate every piece of legislation, and to divorce government trom vice. An organization with a fixed pur- pose of this sort would be able to prevent any unworthy candidate from being nom- inated for office. He told a little incident of a few days ago, when the proprietress of a house of ill fame called at the police station, reported that one of her “‘boarders” had run off in her debt, and asked that a police of- ficer bo sent with her to find the girl and bring her back. Her wish was complied with, and the girl was brought back by a blue-coated officer to be compelled to liquidate the indebtedness. This incident was de- scribed so graphically that one brother some- whero in the outskirts of the crowd forgot where he was and remarked in_an audible tone that it was a d—d shame. The speaker exhorted all good citizens to engage in the work of wiping out municipal corruption, with a due regard for the opinions of thelr fellows, and to make the organization inde- pendent in polities, but not neutral. Chairman 8. B. Wadsworth of the Board of Supervisors made a short talk, calling atten- tion to the fact that Pottawattamie county was paying $750.000 per annum for the sake of being governed, and that more than half that sum being paid by the citizens of Council Bluffs. The citizens owed it to them- selves to see that this large sum was properly laid out. The members of the club would not agree on all points, but there would be enough points on which they would agree to keep them busy for a year, at least. Poli- tics must be disregarded. Of course, all the fellows on the winning side would now want a job, and the number of jobs would be In- creased S0 as to give it to them. Then the other fellows would make a howl, and next year whoop it up for their side, and so it Would go on, year after year, unless care were constantly taken to keep politics out of the city government, 5o far as possible, and see that the city was run in a purely business manner. General James B. Weaver and James Me- Cabe each made a short talk, after which the following officers and committees were ap- pointed: President, S. B. Wadsworth; vice presidents, J. R. Reed, N. P. Dodge, Thomas Officer, John Beresheim, George P. Sanford, John Bennett, C. R. Hannon, W. C. James, J. J. Stewart, John Beno, J. T. Evans, L. W. Tulleys, John Clausen, A. T. Flickinger, L. W.

The meeting adjourned until next Friday cvening, when a platform of principles will be reported by the committee. Whoever has tried Dr. Powder is certain to always used. Hall's Moral ( haracter. Another day waes taken up with the trial of Bill Hall for robbing freight cars, and sev- eral more witnesses were summoned by the defence to prove that Hall was very good morally; that he was too lame to commit burglary on the night in question, and that he had been playing high five at home at the hour when he ought, according to the charges of the state, to have been out break- ing into the cars. Mr. Klein, employed by a local wholesale liquor dealer, testified that the wine that was stolen was very much adulterated, about half of it being water. The water, it {s found out, has been put in since the barrel was emptied by the oceu- pants of the city jail bullding. Mr. Klein admitted that the Wine was stronger when he tasted it several months ago, and thought it would be worth from $2.25 to $2.50 a gal- lon, it it were pure. Several officers were called upon and testified that Hall's reputa- tion for goodness was bad, but on cross-ex- amination by the defense admitted that they had never known of his being in the peni- tentiary. Hall himself was placed upon the stand, and his attorneys tried to get from him a statement that he had been appointed by the Manawa authorities to catch the other fel- lows who were seining fish contrary to law In view of the fact that Hall himself had been arrested for this offence not less than a dozen times within the past year, the audience had some trouble in stifing a smile, but the question was ruled out of order by the court, Price's Baking praise it.

Several drinks were downed, and all the bystanders were invited to come up and imbibe. Among them was Shields, The cause of the fight was not in evidence, but a mutual invitation was extended to settle the matter right then and there, and they wen{ tp the back yard Jack, who s quife a fistlo artist, struck Shields and skinned his face considerably. Shields inserted one ham-like fist in Jack's cheek and with the other struck him only one blow, which did the business.

They de- cided to let real property alone. With refer- | ence to the assessments of money and credits | an_ investigation showed that most of the as- sessors had neglected the provisions of the | law, and had been assessing them at such flgures as they eaw fit. Five of them as- sessed at 100 cents on the dollar, nine at 40, seven at 333, one at 60 and three at 2. The law prescribes 33 as the basis, and a resolution was passed adopting the law. Some of the assessors have been In the habit of charging almost anything for their services, and the Board of Supervisors has been equally free in cutting down their bills. A resolution was passed stating it as the sense of the meeting that inasmuch as the law prescribes the per diem and salary, it would seem unfriendly in the board to cut down the assessors’ bills. A resolution was also adopted recommend- ing that a meeting of the assessors be held at the auditor's officz on the second Monday in each January, for the purpose of better acquainting themselves with their duties.
