The presence of the city engineer at

thinking that perhaps hbi absence has

the aldermen have issued a formal ono
in the way of a resolution.

BO main * on ihat street. The council
Juu refused to locate a hydrant there bo

MM b # run from Broadway , and if they

The "missing link" is to bo supplied ,
the city having let to J. B. Smith & Co.
the contract for paving that portion of

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 , "

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.
