Purdun lately opened a barber shop in Aalnut and settled down in that burg with his wife nnd little babo. Last week ho left suddenly , leaving wife and baby behind. Mrs. Purdun has received a letter from him saying ho was "going to enjoy the fruit of single blessedness. " The wife is spoken of as n very good woman.

By some carelessness the tops of some of the gas curb-boxes or pave stops in the sidewalks nro loft off.

FURTHER FAOTS , How Council Blufl'd locs Not Got ItH Stmi'o of Hallway Tun BKI : ycotorday presented some interesting facts nnd figures ooncerniug ho local taxation of the railvrnya which enter here , and by whioh it appeared hat the railway property in thia city , owovor valuable , was not taxed anymore moro than the poorest bit of land in the ' ouutry , over which the track chances to un. ) THE BEB has aomo further interesting 'acts to present on .this subject. The itizons generally have boon aaloop on this matter and some of thorn will bo mrprlsed to learn ebtno facts which ap pear from the olllcial records. Ono road : s not favored moro than anotlmr , and so > ample facts will serve for all , For instance the Chicago , Burlington Q linoy owns a largo amount of prop- rty cast of Main struct , from Lower's hotel south. There are fifty-four lots , which if owned by private parties , would bo assessed at from $000 to $1,000 each , without doubt. The railway company , on thia property , which amounts to 5.10 acres , pays pn a valuation of $510 , juat $100 an aero. It saonis hardly to bo believed - liovod , but , the official returns are proof. The same company has twenty-four lots south of the \Vabash depot in > Yil- Hams' first addition. There is not n lot that would bo assessed at less than § 20C if owned by a private person , and yet the twenty-four lots , pinking ono a hall acres are valued at only $150 , buoiuso owned by a railway. The Chicago Si Northwestern railway has about seventeen acres where its round houses , eta. , are located , and deducting throe acres used by tracks , etc. , the re maining fourteen acres are put in at a total valuation of f 57C. In regard to passenger stations , the Chicago , Rock Island A Pacific have nine in this county , they being at Coun- oil IJlutr * . Minden , Weston , Walnut Avoca , JNeola , Carson , Oakland , ant Hancock , and the valuation of the entire nuio io placed i\t only $2,400. It is said that the ono at Avoca nlono cost as much as the whole nine are valued at in the ro turns. / valuation of round houses , frdgh liouies , etc. , of the different roads ar about on the same basis throughout. HOME OF THE FEIENDLESS , The Inlcrcfit IJclntf Awnfcenril In II OiKslclo of Council IMiifTH. From the Malvcrn Leader it appears Lhat considerable intorcstis being aroused there , as well as elsewhere , in the llomo of the Friendless. Ilov. J. 0. Lemon IBS boon this week delivering a scries of lectures there , and has nlso bocn working up the Home. The Leader soys : "Mr. Lemon is an easy , entertaining and in structive speaker , who holds the closest attention and interest of his hcarora on whatever subject ho may present. The work Mr. Lemon is engaged in is truly a labor of love , and should call out the lioarty approval and co-operation of all Christian and philanthropic people everywhere. The work already done and the good that haqt , been nc complishod by the llomo , many times compensates for the expenditure of time and money it lm < 3 entailed , and the grand possibilities for good that lie within the sphere of such nil institution cannot bo computed this side of an oudlcss eternity. The Homo differs from other charitable institutions of its character in that it aims at a thoroughand complete reforma tion of all unfortunates coming under its care before they are permitted to engage in the battles of life o their own ac count. Such a reformation is to bo ac complished through n thorough common school education to awaken in the minds of the ignorant n dcsiro for something nobler than they have known , and by yoara of Christian precept and example to imbue them with a proper conception of the responsibilities of lifo and impress the necessity of living honest , honorable and Christian lives. The object Is a most worthy ono , and vro sincerely hope Brother Lemon was encouragingly sue- ccssful in soliciting funds for earring on the noble work. " A number have signed their names to the plan for contributing a stated sum monthly , thus affording the homo 11 regu lar income. The Malvorn people are wide awake , big-hearted and broad in their ideas , and evidently believe in liberality , oven beyond their own throah- liolds. The endowment list of the homo now has over sixty names of regular monthly contributors and is rapidly in creasing , and the fact that general in terest in the homo is being awakened in the state is assurance to those of Council Bluffs who have liberally given to it , that the burden of its support will not fall altogether upon those of this city , and servos as an inspiration to the friends hero to encourage and foster the institu ton ! moro than over. It seems A. J. Mandel makes prices to suit , as the suite of furniture , ho sold yes terday waa never made for BO low a price as it was sold. THE COUNTY BOAED , The Contract IiCtfor UullditiKBrUlKCB Other Business Ionc. Thn county board of supervisors con inuod their session yesterday. The Iro- aud Bridge company , of ContorvilloIa. , waa given the contract for building all jridgcs that may DO built by order of the > oard for the coming year , that company > oing the lowest bidder. The award was made conditional on the company filing a bond of § 50,000 before April 17. The prices wore aa follows : Combination bridges with iron floor beams , 40 to GO foot , $10 a foot ; GO to 80 oot , $11 a foot ; 80 to 100 foot , $12 a oot ; and with oak floor beams $1 a foot oas. oas.Iron bridges , GO to 80 feet , $14 a foot ; 0 to 100 feet , ? 10 a foot. Trestle bridges , $4.50 a foot , nnd ap- > reaches § 3 a foot. The resignation of E. B. Higgina , jus- ice of the peace of Noola , was accepted , nd the bonds of Z. Brown , his successor , pprovod. Dr. G. H. Parrish was awarded the ontract for attending all cases of paupers md furnish the nocensury medicine , for .ho same in Macedonia , Grove and Silver /rook townahipa for ono year at $75. The board was interviewed by Mayor Vaughan and Judge James in regard to ho building of bridges in the city. Theao ; antlomen asked m behalf of the city hat the board pay about $000 on Madi- on street bridge , the city paying the ost. They argued that the city was pay- ng 30 per cent of the entire county tax , and that the city paid over $12,000 into ho bridge fund , and ought on this ac count to got some help from thoeo funds. Dho board , however , expressed themselves as not fooling warranted in contracting any more liabilities in that line , as the county funds had been reduced by the omitting of the taxes , , of sufferers froni .ho hail storms , and by the reduction of Earner township , and other causes , but 'ntimateU that perhaps at the Juno moot- iitj the board might fool disposed to do something.
