The county supervisors have decided to withdraw support from two paupers Wwho have long been dependent upon the overseer of the poor for support. The unlucky ones are Mrs. Garrett of Avoca, whose $8 a month has not served to keep her entirely out of mischief, and an old man named Abel, whose appetite for the contents of the flowing bowl has put his monthly stipend into circulaion as soon as received. His son-in-law, whose name fs Hubbard, is to receive the money instead. C. B.

COLE & COLE, Ganymede Century Club, The Ganymede Century club is not de- signed for literary improvement or the dis- cussion of theological topics, but is composed merely of bieyelists who have made 100 miles in sixteen hours at seme time during their cycling career, and who expect to repeat the operation some time or other if they keep their legs. It has been In existence since April and there are now eleven members. Each time a new century is made the rider, upon bringing the evidence of his compan- fons on the ride, or by making afdavit in case he went alone, is entitled to receive a little gold bar inscribed with the name of the place to which the run was made, the date and the distance. This bar is hung as & pendant to a large pin made somewhat on the order of the Ganymede pin, but bearing the words: “Ganymede Century Club.” R. H. Nichols has been pegging away at the country roads more industriously than any of the others and has accumulated a string of the bars several inches long, nearly a dozen in all. Others are not far behind, and & good deal of rivalry is being manifested to #eo which will occupy the first place, 1f the work goes on for the next year rapidly as for the past few months the members will not need any rings on their fingers or bells on their toes. One of the members Is busily at work on a ritual, and as soon as cool weather comes it is the intention of the club to Institute a goat department which will excel all rivals in exquisiteness of fin- ish. The charter members, It Is understood, are to be exempt from initlation and will thus be enabled to put forth all thelr strength in glving the newcomers a good time, DURLINGTON ROUTE. $10.75. #$10.75, $10.75, Council Bluffs to Louisville, Ky,, and re- turn, account G.

As a reason the allegation made that Seveath street was never platted | by the city, and the street has consequently always been the proporty of the company. A bond of $300 being furn'shed, Judge Smith granted ti mporary injunction, The question of opening this street caused a flurry among the property owners of the southern part of the city about a year ago. The railway company asked that the street » vacated, and so well were its plans laid that th ordinance ating the street was passed before the ciifzcns generally knew that such a thing was contemplated. When they found out about it a storm of indignation arose, anl dnathemas were showered down upon the heads of the city dads. In defer- enco to public opinfon the ordinangs.vacating the strest in favor of the company was re- pealed, after a number of my meetings, and tho aldermen were glad to let the mat- ter drop. At & recent meeting of the councll the mar- shal was Instructed to notify the company to plank its crossings, and the compiny now pro- posas to test the question of who owns the street, it or the comy If the original plat s in exiztencs, it will play an important part in the litigation that scems bound to arise. It s in all probabMity in the pos- ession of the heirs of Judge Riddle, who platted the addition many years ago. It wa recorded on the books at the court house, but some one without the fear of God or man befora his eyes has used a penknife and clipped out the page it oceupied. The engi- s, records at that carly day are in a r chaotic stats, and it is provabla that the city will have some trouble to prove its right to the street. The peti for the injuncton alleges that there never has bien any- crossing on South Seventh street. It states that the track is 80 closo to the company's freight depot that the crossing by teams would be danger- ous to life and Iimb, and could not help re- sulting in many accldents, no matter how close watch was Kept. in BOSTON STORR.

FOWLER, DICK & WALKER, 401-405 Broadway, Council Bluffs. NEW OVERSEER OF THE FPOOR. Eighty-Two Dallots Required to Set- tle the Fate of the Candidates. The county supervisors put in a laborious day yesterday balloting on the candidates who wanted to deal out bread and meat to the county poor. The names of nearly a dozen were before the board, although only Robert J. Huntington, Peter Bechtele, J. J. ‘Watts, Joseph Spaulding and I. Swearingen made formal applications. The main_ fight seemed to be between Swearingen and Watts and for a long time the former held one vote and the latter two, without any variation to speak of. Then Huntington entered the race, and after elghty-one ineffectual at- tempts had been made to elect he received three ballots and was declared elected. The salary is $50 a month, A number of populists presented a petition asking the board to make a direct tax levy of $30,000 on the property in the county to raise money with which to buy and equip a poor farm, in order that interest on bonds might be eaved. The board had already determined to lay the matter of issulng bonds before the voters at the coming election, and s0 they found a nice, easy way out of the difficulty by merely referring the populistic scheme to the county attorney, with instruc- tions to report at the next meeting of the board. This will be held in November, the week following election, when the report will neither do any harm nor any good. For some time the supervisors have been talking of tecuring better accommodations for the insane patients pending their examina- tion by ths commissioners. Heretofore the ouly place for them has been the county jail, which for obvious reasons was hardly a fit place. The board directed Dr. F. S. Thomas of the commissioners, President S. B. Wadsworth of the board, and Auditor J. M. Matthews to fit up the room now occupled by the assessor with a bed and such other furniture as may be needed, in order that it may be used for the confinement of patients. The assessor's office will be removed to the room now used by the county attorney, who will be shoved into the grand jury room next door. Since the burning of the Planters' hotel, the second precinct of the Fifth ward has been wlithout any suitable building for a voting booth, and a building will probably have to be bullt for this purpose. The mat- ter was referred to the president of the board. The Standard plano next to the Hardmar. ‘We have leased the L. G.

The members are to be divided into two sec- tions, C. A. Beno being the leader of one and Fritz Bernhard of the other. They will “choose up” after the manner of an old- fashioned country spelling school, and an ef- fort will then be made to see which side will be able to run up the longest line of converts.

Meetings were held by the republicans in all the wards last evening to choose deles gates to the county convention to be held in Avoca September 12. At this convention a number of candidates for county offices are to be chosen, among them being a senator, two representatives, a treasurer, sheriff, su- perintendent of schools, two supervisors, coroner and surveyor. Unlike some former vears, there seems to bs a fair prospect for republican victory this fall and the republi- can caucuses last night were by no means matter-of-form affairs. Good attendance and apparent enthusiasm marked every pre- cinct meeting. In the Sixth ward, First precinct, some little interest was shown in the welfare of the “soldier candidate,” who- ever he may prove to be, for sheriff. A resolution was passed pledging the delegates to use their best efforts to secure the nom. ination of A. F. Clatterbuck for sheriff. An amendment was made binding the delegates, in case it should prove impossible to nom< inate Clatterbuck, to cast their votes for the “soldier candidate,” who is commonly understood to be D. Maltby. The following are the delegates in each precinct: First ward: First precinct, E. W F. J. Schnorr, gan; Second Barber, W. Atwood and'C. A. Mor- precinct, J. P. Gresnshields, . B. Snyder, G. H.

The school Board held a special meeting last evening in Secretary J. J. Stewart's office. Examinations at the hand of the county superintendent had proved something terrible to three or four of the young ladies who wgre glven schools, and they had failed to make an average grade of 85 per cent. At a recent meeting it was decided that mo one unable to make such a grade would be permitted to teach, and the question beforo the board was whether or not the rule should be hung up for the present. Each of the young ladies had some friend on the board and there apepared to be a very good excuse for the failure of each one. To get around the difficulty it was decided that inasmuch as none of the failing candidates had fallen more than 3 per cent under the limit they should be allowed to try it again before they were_declared out of the race. A house to house canvass of the homes in the Madison avenue district had revealed the fact that there were fifteen pupils in the sixth grade and a like number in the fifth who would be benefited by the opening of a new room in that building, and upon the recommendation of Chairman Snyder of the teachers' committee it was decided to open the room. The salary of Miss Jennie Pile, the principal of the Madison avenue bullding, was raised $1 per month on the strength of the addition to her duties. The resignation of Miss May Davenport at the Washington avenue building left a vacancy, which was filled by the promotion of Miss Maggie Wallace, whoss piace iu_turn was filled by the appointment of Miss Field, one of the substitutes. Chairman Thomas of the finance commit- tee stated that owing to a mistake the Misses Nellie Parsons and Anna Mikesell had been given salaries of only $55, when they should_have had $60. On his recom- mendation the changes were made and Miss Maggle Wallace's salary was fixed at $55. GOING SOON! GOING SOON, Going Out of Business—Only a Few Days More.

According to the evidence, Wilbur Saxton and his wife have not beeu living together for some time past, and the boy, George, is living with his father. One night not long ago a man visited Saxton's home, representing himself to be an officer, and showing a warrant, made Saxton go with him toward the jail. Oa the way he offered to let Saxton go back home on condition that he would promise to be at Justice Cosk's court the next morning. On going back home he found that some one had been there dur- ing his absence and run off with the boy. He went to the justice office mext morning and found that no warran had been is:ued for h's arrest, He decided that John Latta 8 re- sponsible for the kidnaping and had him ar- rested. The boy is now in the possession of his moth®r, where he is likely to stay for a while. Latta proved that he was in bed at the time the kidnaping took place, and was discharged, HOMESEEKERS' EXCURSION, wi Via Burlington Route, August 29, September 10 and 24, Low rates to various points in the south, southwest, west and northwest, For full in- formation’call on or addre 0.

The fagot party given by the Young Men's Christian association Tuesday night at the residence of H. A. Stoddard, 920 Second ave- nue, was as enjoyable as it was novel. The lawn was brightly illumined, and in addition to lanterns and headlights were small bon- fires, upon which different persons tossed bundles of fagots, each being expected to entertain the company while his bundle was burning. Among those who thus added to the enjoyment of the company with song and story were Ned Mitchell, Mrs. Fred Lyons, Henry DeLong, Edyth Thomas and Henry Coker. There were numerous other attractions. Rebecca at the lemonade well was represented by Miss Dora Grass, as- sisted by a number of young ladies, all pretty in their oriental costumes. There was a gypsy camp also, where dark-eyed beauties with tinkling musical instruments gave their callers peeps into futurity whenever the silver crossed the hand. The boys had their share, too, in the merrymaking. They had a circus, the sideshow of which was much more interesting than many more preten- tious ones. The freaks were for the most part small boys appropriatelysmade up so as to represent the bearded woman, the fat man, the bodyless man, the wild man cap- tured near Big Lake, the snake charmer, ete. There was a genuine and interesting collection of Indian curlosities, and by the ald of a few laths and a few yards of cloth a veritable live, moving elephant was made to shamble about the grounds as the main fea- ture of the street parade. Inside the house the parlors were tastefully decorated, and coffee, chocolate and accompanying delicacies were served., The affair was under the direc- tion of Mrs. W. S, Grass, Mrs. Stoddard, Mrs. I V. Howard, Miss Guittar and other ladies interested in’ the success of the asso- ciation. Mrs. A. E. Whittaker entertained a party of about a dozen young people at her home, 208 Washington avenue, Wednesday even- ing, in honor of her, nieces, the Misses Cora and Clara_Childs, James Holman and Miss Emma Kracht were married at the Congregational church Wednesday evening by Dr. Askin. The bullding was handsomely decorated for the oceasion. Miss Jennie Poole was made the reciplent of a very pleasant surprise last Monday evening, when a party of her young friends happened in to spend the evening with. her. Dancing, cards and music served to while away the hours fn an enjoyable manner, and refreshments were served. Those present were: Misses Duncan, Weberg, Mayer, Leary, Butterfield, Maloney ‘and Palmer of Omaha, Morris, Hofiman, Cousins, Hazard, Roper, Hillard, Johnson, Paiterson and Poole; Messrs. Stokesberry, Ocheltree, Vandenberg and Rissler of Omaha, Rishel, Bremerman, Rosch, Ott, Poole, Hazard, Shipley, Schwab and_Loy; Messrs. and Mesdames Hinkle, 0. C.

The ceremony was per- formed by Rev. Dr. Sarchet, an old friend and former pastor of the bride's famlly. Owing to the illness of the groom's brother only the immediate relatives were present. Mr. Martin is in the employ of J. Clausen and In business circles has already won rank as both trustworthy and energetic. The bride is a daughter of Floyd Walters, a prominent citizen of Guthrie county. The young couple will be at home after Septem- ber 15 in thelr own residence, 380 Benlon street. Mr. and Mrs. Byron H.

GLASGOW’'S EXPERIMENT, Remarkable Succe Munieipal Ownership of Street Rallw It may be recalled that last year the town council of Glasgow undertook the working of the stgeet raflways, the tracks of which had beeri owned by the city for some time, says the Boston Transcript. New and better cars were put in serviee, the men were uni- formed, given more pay and shorter hours and 1 cent fares were introduced. It was prophesied in many quarters that the balance sheet for the year would show a heavy loss, which would have to be made good from the taxes; the result, however, has been quite different, In the cleven months from July 1, 1894, to May 81, 1895, the gross revenue was $1,104,911 and the gross expenditure, in- cluding interest and the maintenance and re- newal of tracks, buildings, machin- ery and plant, horse, harness, rolling stock and equipment, has been $986,782. This leaves the sum of $118,- 129 as the net earnings. Of this $44,865 has been written off as depreclation, §32,942 placed in a reserve fund for renewal of permanent way, and $40,322 turned over to the general corporation funds. The latter payment takes the place of the former net revenue from the tracks, which amounted to $27,622 during the year ending May 81, 1894. The total amount of capital invested in the rallways was $2,- 698,425, off which $44,864 has been written, or nearly 2 per cent. In the future 2 per cent annually will be pald into the sinking fund. The lines include 31.38 miles of double track and five-eighths of a mile of single track. It 1s expected that next year's results will be much better, as there have been great difficulties to encounter in starting the enter- prise.

If the stories told by these men could be preserved they would prove a mine of interest in any land. One narrated to a correspondent of the New York Sun by John Alverson, a big, powerful, ranchman cf the Pomona valley, apparently 65 years of age, the other day, gives a lively idea of the perils of the plains long ago. “In June, 1857, he sald, “I was in a small caravan bound from Omaha to Denver. At that time there were literally vast armies of buffaloes and antelopes on the plains, and bands of marauding Sioux and Comanches moved about wherever they choze, An en- campment was made one day. We had twenty-four four-horse teams and as many wagons, Among the party was Mr. Silver- thorne, afterward pioneer of Breckinridge, Colo., and h's wife and children. Signs of Indlans had been seen, and it was the opinion of some of us that we had better make a corral and fortify ourselves, Others laughed at the idea, however, and finally our stock was turned out and we went to bed as usual, witl) the exception of a couple of guards. “In the early dawn it came my turn to go on guard. I had scarcely got my eyes open when I saw seventeen Indians swooping down on us from a little ridge near at hand. Our entire party was quickly aroused, and we made a désperate effort to get our wagons swung round 80 we could protect ourselves and get our stock in; but the tail end of the wagons had been arranged in such a hodge podge way that we could not get them to- gether to fit. By this time the Sioux were sweeping down on us in a flerce cavalcade. I do not exaggerate when I say the seventeen red-blanketed Indians looked like an army. They dashed up between us and our horses, let out a few yips and yells, discharged their fircarms at us, and swept away every bit of our stock except two tired old horses that could not go fast enough to keep up. “The next thing to do was to push on to Denver on foot and as swiftly as we could. Wo realized wo were in the heart of the In- dian eountry and must rush along, else all we could hope for was being scalped. We were obliged to leave all behind save what could be piled in one wagon with Silver- thorne's wife and children, A good many of us followed on foot. There were three in my party—a fellow named Wilson, a born humorist, who was lugging along a pewter spoon, the only thing he had. “When Wilson, another young man, and I got into the Platte, we found it very high and no way to get across except by an old leaky boat. We started in it, but before we got over it filled and swamped and we had to jump out Into the river. Then we had to make the biggest kind of an effort or lose our boat, and we didn't want to.do that. We finally got it over to an island in the river and then, being a pretty good river we made the rest of the way, though we were ducked several times. ~We overtook wagon and made camp safely that night. “The next day I saw the prettiest race I ever saw in my life. It was a thing to make the blood tingle and to this hour I remember it as distinctly as if it were but yesterday. As we were approaching a long sand rilge we saw tairteen Indians chasing four white men. All were well mounted and they were coming like the wind. Suddenly we saw one of the white men drop something. He stopped his horse deliberately, got off, grasped something and stood there. Indians rushed upon him; he fought like a hero. “They gurrounded him and he shot and shot, and they also kept up the shocting, and finally, after he had killed three of them he escaped to the bank of the river, dropped in and swam and got away. He was the only cne of the four who escaped. He fad acci- dentally dropped his revolver, the only weapon he had, and did not have time ta get it and mount his horse again before the In- dians would be upon him and shoot him in the back. So he just stood his ground in desperation, expecting to dle, and his very desperation’ saved nim, We were o far away that we could give no aid. In fac had all we could do to take care of ourseives and we were forced to tee the other three men shot down and scalped. “Meantime some soldiers came down from Fort Morgan and conducted us to that place, which was on our way. When we got there it was said we would probably have no more trouble, so we went on alone, We were proceeding toward Deep Wells, and be- fore wo got there we found a dead man by the road who had been scalped. Further on we were told that the Sidney stage, bound our way, had been surrounded by sixty Sioux, all the passengers and driver killed and the | rig run off, “This was about as bad a situation as could be imagined and when we got to Deep Wells, though we found the last report to be untrue, Silverthorne and the women were s0 scared that they were unable to move hand or foot from where they were in the prairie kchooner. In the excitement a young fellow who scarcely knew what he was doing rode a broncho on ahead all by himself, He reached what is now the city of Denver and his story roused every one in the settle- ment. That night over 120 men, armed to the teeth, came thirty mliles to where we were staying. I shall never forget what a motley throng our rescuers were. They sup- posed that we were hemmed In by several hundred savage Indlans and were in mo- mentary danger of cruelty and death. Strange to say, they hadn’t brought along a thing to eat. When they saw we were not surrounded, not even in danger, they were disgusted, We reached Denver at last that evening, by no means anxious to repeat the (periences We had passed.” number Parties out- side of Omaha should send for symptom | Cliizen of Blai nelghbors nan of Nebraska Howard his among. or the 2|t cle riders of the cle riders of the state.

By this time the man had recovered hime self, and, hastily running to the house, he sectred his shotgun and returned to where he had seen the snake. When he reached there he found the snake, which seemed fifteen feet long and one foot thicl, making off with a duck in its mouth. Mhoon pulled the trigger of the gun.
