Mayor Cleaver and Councilmen Grahl, Spet man and Greenshiclds favored notifying the pany to accept the ordinance before doing nything rash, but the clerk again objected n"the ground that he would not have the legal right to file the acceptance now that the thirty days had more than elapsed. The matter was finally postponed, Brewick and Brown voting against the postponement, and in the meantime another conference between the council and the representatives of the company is likely to take plas The resignation of Rev. B. rustee of the public library and Mayor Cleaver's appointment of Mrs. 1. Davenport to fill the vacancy was firmed. A vote of thanks was tendred Babceock for his services. The report of the committee of the whole that the street line of Fifteenth avenue be sllowed to remain unchanged was concurred n. The light committee reported that after con ulting with Manager Wright of the electric light company it saw no reason for changing its previous report, in which it knocked off a chunk of the company’s bill, and the report was concurred in. At the suggestion of the judiciary commit- tec the auditor was authorized to check up and pay the costs in the case of Kost against the city. The farm property of H. Kingston was ex- empted from city taxes. An adverse report to the petition of George Geisler for damages for injuries sustained in A fall on the sidewalk was concurred in.

G. Hitcheock was appointed at a salary of $65 a month, half to be paid from the fire department fund and the other half from the police fund and the lineman to be under the supervision of the fire chief when not acting as lineman. A tenderly worded letter of thanks to the city council of St. Joseph, stating that the recent visit to that place, and particularly the visit to the sewer, would long be remem- bered as the brightest spot in their official Iife, was unanimously adopted. The clerk was ‘instructed to advertise for bids for grading portions of Fifteenth and Nineteenth avenues, and for building a sewer on Avenue The clerk reported that he had received notices that the Sharpless company and the Omaha Bridge and Terminal company had ap- pealed from the Board of Equalization to the district court for a reduction of assessment.

Highe who are putting up Bernard’s hospital, had a albeit a small one, on their hands yesterday morning. The basis of dissatisfaction was that the men were being paid only $3.50 a day instead of $4. which they wanted. Yesterday when time came for begiuning work they quit. Mr. Hughes told them he could get any number of me to work for him at $3 a day, or perhaps less, but the masons decided to hold out for the ‘advance asked. Mr. Hughes had some men working at Missouri Valley whose work had just run out, and inside of a few hours after the strike as many men were on hand as those who had created thelr own vacancies. Last Saturday George Hughes was ap- proached by a tramp brickiayer, whe begged him for some work. Hughes told him he by for Martin Hughes & Son, an addition to St. full fledged strike, | 1ad more men already than he could profit- ably use, but the tramp persisted in asking for only one day's work if he could not get more, for he was very anxious to get out of town, Finally Hughes told him to come around Monday morning and he would let him work a day. Monday mornfig the tramp was on hand bright and early, but when he heard the sound of “Strike’ he struck before doing a minute's work. the Frult Dealers. Charles Hinsen and Ed Jackson put in yesterday afternoon and last evening bother- Ing the small fruit dealers in the western part of the city. They were somewhat intoxicated, and while in that condition stole an orange from S. Goldstein, who keeps a store at 714 Broadway. James O'Brien of the merchants’ police force saw the act and put chase Hinsen threw the orange into the weeds and O'Brien made him pick It up and return it to its owner. O'Brien then started down street, but had not gone far when he felt a large hamlike fist lald along his neck, and looking around he espied Hinsen behind the fist. Hinsen immediately ran and O'Brien pulled out his gun and began firing indus- triously at some telegraph wires. Hinsen be- came nervous and fell down, leaving large portions of his hands along the paving. He was caught and failed. Jackson esciped. L Joe LaFr amee Was Sntis ce, who drives a William Martin, tried to whip another man yesterday at the corner of Broadway and Main street, but miscalculated his prowess and himself received a tremendous thrashing. Word was sent to the police station, but be- fore an officer could reach the spot t combatants had gotten away. LaFrance was arrested later in the day on a charge of dis- turbing the peace, and on being taken before Justice Cook pleaded guilty and was fined $7.60. He declined to tell who it was that Qi the damage to his beauty. All he would say was that he made a mistake in tackling & man-#malier than he was and he proposed to take his medicine. wagon for Wil e No Strike. The ifferences between the business man- agement of the Nonparell and the Bluffs City Typographical union relative to the | machine schedule were adjusted yesterday afternoon by the paper's acceding to the demands of the men and signing an agree- ment to pay $3 for day work and $3.50 for | night.

County Auditor Matthews, Recorder Shep- ard and Clerk Reed got together yesterday petit jury for the August term of court, according to the provisions of the new jury law. Three boxes are required Out of the first are drawn the required num- | ber of tickets, each bearing the juror, and the tickets are put into a smaller box. Out of it are drawn twenty-four tickets | to make up the jury panel, and the rest of the names are left in the second box to be | used in case more than twenty-four panel | jurors are required. After each term of | court the names are dumped out of the sec- ond box into the third box, to be left there until a new list is made out, at the end ot three years. The following s a list of the Jurors drawn: James Peterson, Councll Blufts; Peter Nel- son, Councll Blufts; George Hanley, Keg Creek township; Soren Madsen, Counchi Bluffs; Richard C. Smith, Armour postoffice; Patrick Feeley, Council Bluffs; B. Chapman Reels; Henr; Torneton, Hardin township; R. Grimmebruan, Council Bluffs; J Basley, Council Bluffs; Chris Wulff, Minden A. A. Hutchinson, Crescent; C. F. Mc- Kenzie, Silver Creek township: George Hampton, Crescent; G. Snyder, Council Bluffs Nathan E. Tyrrell, Council Bluffs; Peter Leonard, Councll Bluffts; Herman Praker Council Bluffs; G. M. Washbura, Councl | Bluffs; G. W. Hamilton, Washington town- | ship; Lioyd Forgraves, Council Blufts; W. ¢ Holder, Council Bluffs; Frank Peterson, Council Bluffs; John Peregoy, Council Bluffs That €0 many of them should hial from Council Bluffs is explained by the fact that considerably more than half the voters In this court district live in the city. The new law apparently doesn’t suit everybody “They forgot,” said a prominent member of the local bar in conversation a day or two ag ‘that there are a great many people who never sat on juries who are far worse than most of the professional jurors who get | the jobs. While the new plan will probably ralse the average standard of intelligence among jurymen, it cannot be denied it will throw open the doors to the very worst men in the community. Men will be able to get places on_the juries who will be willing to hang a jury for 50 cents or a drink of whisky, and as long as such a thing can_be do the Iowa solons cannot & that they have drafted a perfect jury law It Is just barely possible that it the at- torneys Will observe the same care in select- ing a jury they do in preparing a case for trial much of the evil anticipated will be avoided. At any rate, the chance of the bad men being drawn is no greater than their ratio to good men in the population. by the name of a | Store Mid-Summer Clearing Sal To continue all this week. lower on summer goods; some out; many vew ones added 36-inch unbleached muslins, and He. 9c bleached muslin reduced to 7e yard.

At the regular meeting of the Board of Bducation held last evening it was decided to vote $40,000 worth of refunding bonds to pay the overlap. All members voted yes on the proposition except Cheek and Babcock. The first proposition was to vote $33,000 bonds, and this was bitterly opposed by Slate. Then Talbot moved that bonds to the amount of $40,000 be voted, and after a long discus- cion this proposition carried. When the vote was announced President Cheek stated in a tone of disgust that by the vote the bond proposition had been killed. He said that the people were willing to stand $30,000 in bonds to run the schools, and thus reduce the levy from 20 mills to 2 mills, but the fact that the amount had been raised would cause suspicion in the minds of the public and the board would mere be out $800 expenses for the election.
