The board of trndo will try again to got a quorum next Slouday night. John Dunn's little girl is very ill with lung fever , but is thought to bo gaining. W. W. Chapman's connection with the rink ends with the benefit this overling. Services nro being hold daily nt the Catholic church. High mass on Thurs day. day.Bill Bill Perry and Prod Mullen were given the usml dose yesterday for being drunk. All railroad tickets bought of D. W. Bushnoll nro guaranteed , also all rebate orders given by him. The Missouri river was falling yester day , ihoro having boon a drop of three foot in twenty-four hours , George H. Moore and Philip Doyle were arrested yesterday afternoon for disturbing the peace while drunk. The benefit at the rink to-night promises to bo a fine affair , tno skatera to appear in fancy dross costumo. Jnstico Schurz yesterday married at his private parlors Peter Kasmusson to Hannah 0. Peterson , both of this city. James Nicoll's old city bakery build ing is being cleared away preparatory to being replaced with a fine new two-story brick. A. Rink and J. Clinch were arrested yesterday for clinching each ether and having a fight , The case was Bottled in some peacemaking way. Roy Mayno , son of P. T. Mayno , is planning to open a food and boarding stable , having loaaod Jamco Gouldon's barn on Broadway. John Fondograst and James Browu , two boys charged with testifying falsely in a recent trial before Justice Schurz , were discharged yostorday. The basement of the Motliocliat church has been rented for school purposes by the board at $20 a month and Miss Ella Mclntosh chosen as teacher. A young man was foolish enough the other day to buy some groceries and give in payment a fictitious chock for $3. CO , and now the officers are after him. ! The gamblers and prostitutes began coming in yesterday by invitation of the city authorities. The former gave up 854 each and the prostitutes $29 each. Permission to try it was yesterday given to Isaac Walters and Mary Hop- pington , both of Logan ; also to Jens Olson and Ave K. ilavson , both of Council Bluffa. J. P. Hulott has commenced action for a divorce from Ms wife , E. < 0. Hulott , to whom ho was married In 185G. Ho claims oho deserted him ton years ago , and doesn't corao back. Walter , the adopted child of Mrs , E. Wiloy , died suddenly Mondoy'"ovoning. Ho appeared as well as usual until about 4 o'clock , when ho was taken with con vulsions and soon died. The board of trade scorns dying of in- exertion. Ono reason is thai its meet ings are held on the sarao evening as tjU regular council mooting , and the ahlor- mauio show dravra best. G. H , Sicker and G. 0. Brown are the committee on invitations for the benefit to-nigh t , and those who intend to .parti . cipate can procure of them. Spectators need not procure invitations. The money order department of the postollico will hereafter bo open from 8:3o : a. mi to 4:30 : p. m. except on Wednesday * and Saturday evenings when it will boopon until 8 p'cjook. Some of tho- now goods with Trhich Thos. N. Bray is to open up'horo began arriving yesterday. . Willis Rollings worth , from PCS Moines , will bo in charge as chief clerk , of the , establish ment. ' ' ' * In the case of poison vs. Rodpath and other * the jury found forjho plaintiff an < held that M. A. Moore , the contractor who Bublet to Rodpath , was liable fortho unpaid wages , having guaranteed them , Moore takes an appeal. The presence of the city engineer at council meetings is much needed , and thinking that perhaps hbi absence has been 3ue to the lack of an invitation the aldermen have issued a formal ono in the way of a resolution. A. A. Covalt will give his first publii exhibition of fancy skating at the rink TuefidayBight. ' Ho is a very graceful and skillfql 'ckatcr and his debut wil doubtless create much inlerest as ho has many friend * and acquaintances here , The property owners on North Main street grumb'le because they are taxed lot water and have noeupply , there being BO main * on ihat street. The council Juu refused to locate a hydrant there bo , OAUM there is no main , and lliure is no wain thwe because there if no hydrant. It i * claimed that for fire protection hone MM b # run from Broadway , and if they want iv supply for private u > o , the only way is to got n consumer for every sixty feet , nnd on this showing the council must order a mains put in. P. W. Spolmnn the other day mot n man on the street wearing nn overcoat which had boon stolen from him n year ago last winter. The man explained that ho had bought it of a tramp for $5 , and had boon wearing it over since , and Bottled tled the matter aa beat ho could. The "missing link" is to bo supplied , the city having let to J. B. Smith & Co. the contract for paving that portion of Washington avenue between the north end of Main ntreot and Oakland vvouuo , thus making n continuous line of paving from the Rock Island depot to the corao tory , n distance of about two miles. The city , in oottling with its laborers , Days § 1.00 n day cash , or $1,75 in general oral fund warrants. The city thus ad mits through its council thac general fund warrants are only worth about 85 cents , whereas they are selling from 05 to 07 cento. It docon't aoom business-like for n city to run down its own paper. The Y. M. 0. A. hna hit upon n hnppy Bohoino by its Tuesday evening entertainments. These gatherings have boon growing in attendance and interest. Short essays and addresses , debates , con versations , recitations , jokes , etc. , make up the programmes , and these who at tend scorn greatly interested and highly entertained. * It don't seem to make much difference with the Union Pacific whether the atroot cars connect with its dummy trains or not. Frequently pawongors wait and wait after the arrival of the dummy train for a car to go up town , and then wade up. Perhaps when it gets dry enough so folks can walk as well as not , the cars will run nil rijjht. It was a hard day yesterday for the county board of supervisors. They had to listen all day to petitioners and wit nesses on road mat turn , and especially about some road In Knox township in which the neighbors all Boomed greatly concerned , and divided in opinion. The board got no chance to do any other business. It Boomed chcoky , but probably the deep mud in the streets served as an excuse - cuso for the man who drove up onto the sidewalk in front of the postoflio yester day , frightening several ladies. Ho drove off between the telegraph polo on the corner of First avenue and the build ings , and walked his team along the side walk lest ho should lese them in the mud. William Englo believes in petitions. At its last meeting of ita council , ho pre sented four , ono for $150 damages of property by change of grade , ono for a crossing at the corner of Main street and Tenth Avenue , ono for city warrants to taka its place of a certificate of assess ment for street filling issued to lledpath for $700 , and one for $1,500 damages , because the 0. B. & Q. had n track and run trains in front of his residence on Eleventh Avenue , The city council has rescinded the re solution notifying the Union Pacific that its sight to occupy Union avenue would bo taken away unless it ran its trains as agreed upon. What assurance has the council received to notify the rescinding of this resolution. Simply the promise of the Union Pacific to do something when the weather permits. It has had that promise for about a year past , and there seems as little prospect of its being kept this season as last season. It is now predicted that the additional appropriation of $100,000 for the now government building hero will bo secured. It has already boon reported upon favora bly by the committee , and a telegram yesterday from Congressman Pusoy to Col. Kcatloy says : "Tho house by two-thirds majority fixed Wednesday , the Oth , to continue from day to day , until all bills for public buildings are dis posed of. This insures the pasaago of all pending bills by a majority vote , " The ladies who are interested in decor aliens , and all who have any love for the beautiful , should drop into George R , Beard's and ask him to show up these samples of "Llncrusta Walton , " received by him yostorday. This is the first over received lioro , and are indeed wonderful They are used for decorating walla , ceilings ings , etc. , nnd appear like the finest carv ing , the designs standing out in bold re lief , and can bo finished to suit the taste of the decorator , and are very handsome as they aro. Jt makes the richest wall paper look down in the mouth , and while few can afford to decorate a whole house with it , yet it costs nothing to look at and admire , as Beard is glad and oven proud to show it , and well may ho , for it is a curiosity , as well as a thing of beauty in this market. Drop in and look at it. The aldermanio fathers do not seem very enthusiastic about Council Bluffs belug represented at the firemen's tour nament in Dos Moinos. These tourna ments are getting to bo largely more i aces in which men run instead of horses , A running team has been or ganizcd hero and named after the mayor , and under the rules has to bo rccognitod by tbo city at least sixty days before the tournament or they will not bo allowed to enter. The council has refused to recog nize them oven as a volunteer company without expense to the city , the excuse being that they want to investigate the matter a little further. If the chief of the department could bo changed , then professional runners could be engaged in regular service and draw pay from the city while training for the tournament. As that c&uuot bo done , the next bust thing is to got "recognized , " Foster , the florist , on Harrison street Cuucil Bluffs , has the largest stock west [ * t of the Mississippi. Bond for catalogue , ' > HARD TO DIE , Two rottnwnttnrnlcft HUTO llnnl Tlmo Killing n "Wolf. Frank Dr.iko and Ed Bates , two of Oakland's Nimrods , were proud as lords when they returned homo the other day , having with them an the result of their hunt forty-two ducks and a prairie wolf. The wolf was enough of a capture of itflolf , but they created increased interest by narrating quite an ndvonturo connect ed therewith , which is thus giren by the Acorn man : The wolf wns chasing a flock of ducks and the boys were secreted In the tall grass which lines the creek , waiting for a shot. When they espied the shaggy . monster they lot drive at him with a doublo-barrolod broadside , knocking him into the crock. The small duck shot was too fine for his tough hide and ho made for the opposite bank. As ho crawled out of the water they gave him another charge and ho tumbled back in to the river and began swimming down stream. The boys then got into their boat and started in pursuit , firing several rounds before downing their game. Ho wns hauled aboard and placed in the gunwale. But Mr. Wolf scorned to bo possessed of nine lives , and again came to the front , showing n row of ivories that were anything but pleasant to the hunters. Ono of the bravest took him by the nape of the nock and hold him under the water until ho was dead or supposed to bo. But again his wolfship got upon his hind logs and liowlod for vengeance , when a pocket knife was pro duced and his jugular vein savored , whereupon he gave up the ghost and the boys catno homo with flying colors and fooling prouder than if they had captured a white elephant , This is the story as narrated by the hunters , and wa have no doubt it is true , at any rate the boys have in their possession the wolf's carcass to verify the truthfulness of the same.
