The proprietors, Messrs. Daniel Kel- ler and M. Band, started in business a couple of years ago and have had no occa- slon to regret their venture. In fact, the business proved prosperous from the start and it only required their tireless energy to increase it, and this has been done to thelr entire satisfaction. The firm carries one of the most extensive lines of furni- ture, stoves and housefurnishing goods in the city and inaugurated a plan by which the humblest home in the city could be comfortably furnished by easy payments and at the lowest possible cost.

The Furniture Business. The store of Petersen & Schoening, in the Morriam block, is one of the largest cou- cerns of furniture and housefurnishing ®o0ds on the Missouri slope. In speaking of the business of the past year, one of the proprietors, Mr. Petersen, said that 1900 closes with the biggest business (n the history of his business career in Coun il Bluffs, which extends back for a nura- ber of years. The firm started on South Maln street some years ago, in a modest way, and by honest dealing with the pub- lic and selling goods that were up to date and at reasonable prices the business grew at the start until it became necessary to secure more commodious quarters. They moved several years ago to their present location, and occupy a large area of space in the mammoth Merriam block, almost taking in one-half the lower floor of the eutire block. They look forward to the com= ing year with anticipations that it will prove to be a good one for the retail busi- ness interests of Council Bluffs, and even surpass the preceding one a0 WDRICH'S VI W PoNy. Q" Stub Train Chats ut His Rush of Fame. “You've heerd of them fellows who was born famous, and the others who had fame pushed at 'em, or thrust on 'em, some- thing like that. Well, I'm one of the same kind. Fame has been coming in chunks, and 1t's all on account of a blasted yellow pany that I wouldn't give 50 cents fer it he was put up at auctlon tomorrow.” The speaker was Joe Goodrich, as he fs familiarly krown, engineer on the “Q" stub train that runs from Pacific Junction to Council Bluffs three times a day. He hus become very much talked about lately owing to an accident by which he came into possession of the pony that was ridden by one of the men belonging to the gang which abducted young Edward Cudahy. Goodrich was in the office of Justice of the Peace Ferrier, where he called to sce about a re- plevin sult brought by a meighbor to se cure possession of the pony mentioned 1t had been brought to his attention that the Omaha police expected he would try to replevin the pony when it was takem through Council Bluffs by them on the way back to Omaha. “No, sir; I won't replevin no pony that has given me such trouble as that animal has,” Goodrich said. The Omaha police can take 'im and keep 'lm and they'll have my thanks.” Ever since my boy, Ardy, chased that critter into the yard that Saturday afternoon and got a halter over his neck there's been no peace in the household. I've heerd that Cudahy dassn’t let his kids come out of the house for fear that somebody connected with the kldnapin’ will come along and take a shot at thcm. Well, his troubles ain’t one-two- three with mine. Every time T want to leave DAILY my house I have to push a path through a crowd of people that lime up along my tront sidewalk to see the ‘Cudahy’ pony. And when I come back at night it's the samo old story. People josh you and want to kuow how much of that $25,000 I'm £oIng to get for producin’ and I wish there never was no Cudahy kidnapin', “Why, people come to my house at 1 o'clock in the morning and wake us all up just to give some guy who pretends he knows the animal to shake his head sagely and say, ‘that’s 'im. A man came to my house last Monday night, just after it was found out that the pony was the one which was mixed up in the kidnapin’ and pounded on the door until I went down and let 'im in. It was midnight. Mr. Goodrich, he says, I'm 80 and so, I think I can positively identity that pony. Well, you can't, I told 'im, becavse you can't see 'im. Then 1 banged the door and that fellow stood om the front steps and knocked until 1 sicked tho dog on 'im. I only had one dog two wecks ago. Now I've got four and there are times when the whole bunch can't keep people wiho want to see the pony out of the yard. Why, Cudahy's troubles ain’t nothin’ compared to mine. He's got money and can keep the people away with it. I've got nothin' but watchdogs, and whenever the police or the detectives come along I have to go out and call off the dogs. ““You see, as soon as the nelghbors found out I had the pony and will come in for a part of that $25,000 reward, one of thewn begam to scheme to get the pony, Bertha Mack found the bridle and saddle which used to be on the pony in the road above the place where my boy saw the animal, and she made that the excuse to try to take the pony on a replevin. Frenk Anderson, an implement merchant, put up $100 as security for the production of the pony when the case is called. The way the Omaha police got the peny was to put up $100 to guarantee Anderson against loss. I'm glad the pony's gone, and I hopo it won't ever come back, but if it does I'm comin' in for a part of the reward for furnishing the clue that led to the arres: of the kidnapers.” Gravel roofing.

BUT OPPOSITION HURRAHS TIE VOTE, Varlous Thoroughfares Are to Re Ralsed to Grade=New Rules to Be Complled by Committee for Eleetrician, At a meeting of the Council Bluffs city council last night the controversy over choosing between brick and asphalt as a paving material for the nine mies of pave- ment to be laid In the city in the course of three years, was practically settled A motion to award the contract to the Bar- ber Asphalt company was lost by a tie vote In the opinion of Mayor Jennings and the taxpayers who are zealous in behalt of brick or cedar block pavements the vote Is a victory, meaning that in the immediate future the contract will be awarded to the brick men. In the adjustment of routine business the council advised by resolution the raising to grade of Avenue H, from Eighth to Tenth street and Tenth street from Avenue G to H, setting January 28 as the date of final hearing. Charles R. Hanan's communication ask- ing that the brick eidewalk in front of the First National bank be repaired was re- ferred to the proper committee. E. A. Wickham asked the council for an exten- sion of time on contract for brick and asphalt paving, the work having been de- layed by unsuitable weather. The motion to extend the time from January 1 to Sep- tember 1 was passed. McDonald moved that the contract for asphalt paving be awarded to the Barber Paving company. Clerk Philips read a communication from citizens requesting that thelr names be withdrawn from the petition asking for asphalt paving and that brick or block paving be substituted Huber asked for an opinion from the city attorney whether the extra 20 cents specified by the contract, in the event of a ten-year guaranteo being required, could be assessed agalust property own- ers. Clty Solicitor Wadsworth sald that such an assessment would not be legal. Mr. Wickham reminded the councll that in the case of contracts for brick paving no extra charge was ever made. ‘“Let me call Mr. Wickbam's attention to the fact that he once told me In explaining a slightly higher conditional charge for brick paving it was due to a guarantee.” “That's all right,” rejoined Wickham. “It was only one of my pipe dreams.” Huber asked also whether the city would be required to keep the pavements clean under a ten-year contract. This point was not touched upon in the contract. Spencer Smith, speaking for property own- ers along Ninth street, told the council the question of employing home people should be considered in the awarding of paving contracts. He sald the work should g0 to local contractors. The vote on the motion to award the contract was lost, the yea and may vote being as follows: Yea, Hammer, Lougee, McDonald, Lovett, Noys, Boyer, Brown, Clark, Huber, The compiling of rules by which the new clity electrician must work was entrusted to the committee on fire and water.

WHITELAW & GARDINER. Boston Store, Council Bluffs, la. To Abolish Gambling Devices, Nickle-in-the-slot machines and other kindred gambling devices have been placed under the ban. Chief of Police Albro noti- fied the proprietors of cigar stores and bar- rooms that any of the machines found set up, whether in operation or not, on or after January 1, will be promptly con- fiscated, and the proprietors of the places where they are found will be prosecuted. “The gambling evil has become so wide- spread in the use of these machines,” Chiet,| Albro said, “that it must be stopped at once. I am acting with Mayor Jennings and the machines must go.” The order includes every kind of gam- bling contrivance operated by dropping nickels in the slot, but it does not refer to music boxes and the like. There have been tips at the police station of poker “Joints’” that are being run on the quiet. The chief says that an investigation will be made and raids wil be in order it the occasion presents itself.

From mow until Thursday night the char- ter committees will be working hard to prepare a charter suitable to the majority of the people. It is desired to get the proposed charter in shape as soon as pos sible In order that Representative Wilcox may introduce it early next week. Many of the suggestions made by the council committee are meeting with favor, and it is asserted that If these suggestions adopted the government of the municipality will be greatly improved. One feature of the council charter which is being very favorably considered is the provision that where no resident freeholder protests the city may proceed to make improvements on streets. This provision, it adopted which it most likely will, should result in the irwprovement of J street from Twen- ty-fourth to Twenty-Afth street. The street between the blocks mentioned fs 1ald out for 100 feet in width, but is only half graded. The principal objection, how- ever, is the steep hill. By the grading of this one block the per cent will be about the same as N street, and the value of adjacent property will be greatly enhanced. On this same line it 18 thought that M street between Twentieth and Twenty-second streets could be filled and opened. There is a demand for a strect to be opened to the river, but various reakons have delayed the matter. With such a clause in the charter it Is held that the city would have the authority to o ahead and make the improvements where resident property owners did not protest. Finance Committee Meets. Members of the finance committee of the councll met yesterday and went over tbe bills on hand with a view to settling as many claims as possible at the next meet- ing, which will be held on Thursday night Several plans for the payment of the claims of the firemen and policemen were ad- vanced and it fs possible that transfers from the salary and other funds may be made temporarily in order to pay the mem- bers of these departments. While such transfers cannot be construed as strictly Tegal, it 1s asserted that an emergency ex- {sts and that in such an event the council has the right to make temporary transfers 1t money is taken from the salary fund to meet the demands of the firemen and policemen some of the ecity officials will doubtless have to go without their money for a short time. In speaking of this mat- ter yesterday a member of the council sald that he thought that certain of the city officials, including the members of the council, could better do without their salaries than to have the firemen and policemen refuse to work on account of having recelved no pay. Fach member of the fire department has two months' pay coming to him, while the policemen all have onc month due. Every possible effort is being put forth to straighten out this financial tangle and some decisive steps will be taken Thursday night. are Councliman er RBuny. Councilman August Miller, who is chalr- man of the charity committee, was busy yesterday attending to a number of poverty cases. So far this winter very few calls bave been made upon the authorities for help, but the storm of Sunday and the cold snap yesterday brought to light a number of indigent persons who were in need of warm clothing, fuel and food. The local charitable societies are doing their share in carlng for the sick and destitute. Death of James Gilbert. When the news of the death of James Glibert was recelved here yesterday it caused a shock which was not easlly over- come, Mr. Gilbert had many friends here and especlally among the Masonic fraternity. About twelve years ago Mr. Gilbert organ- 1zed Bee Hive lodge, No. 184, of the Masous here and was the first master of the lodge. The lodge members held Mr. Gilbert in high esteem and Bee Hive lodge will attend the funeral in a body. Another Damage Suit. Mrs. Grace Fennell filed a claim against the city yesterday for damages in the sum of $10,000. She alleges that on the evening of December 23, 1900, while walking along Twenty-seventh street, between R and § streets, she fell into a hole in the sidewalk and broke her right leg just above the ankle. As a result she asserts that she is permanently injured and therefore asks for the sum mentioned. City Taxes Delinquent. Clty taxes of the 1900 levy are now de- Iinquent and from this date interest will be charged by the treasurer at the rate of 1 per cent a month. The corporations are pay- ing up as rapidly as the force in the office of the treasurer cam make out the state- ments. In consequence of heavy payments Just mow the funds in the hands of tke treasurer are rapldly lncreasing and a war- rant call may be looked for before long. Hospital Reception Today. This afternoon the women of the South Omaha Hospital association will hold a re- ception and pound social at the hospital bullding, on Twenty-sixth street. All friends of the institution are invited to call and bring with them a pound of some article which can be used to advantage. Buttons for the proposed new building will also be oftered for sale during the hours of the reception. Natlo: Bank Election.
