THE NEWS IN THE BLUFFS , Mayer Macrae Caurcs a Commotion Among the Snlooti Men. HE ORDERS THE LICENSE FEE DOUBLED , I'ocdlnh Cmvlotod of Keeping n Dis orderly House and Ills Place Closed up The Grand Hotel Leased. Mayor Macrao promulgated an order yes- tcrdiiy that will cause n good deal ol flutter ing among the saloon men , It was addressed to the city clerk , city marshal and chief of police , and wns to the cITcct that hereafter , beginning.fnnunry 1 , the inontlily saloon li cense In CouncilBluffs will bo iO Instead of tM. It Is a very brief order , but Its brevity does not detract from Its perspicuity. The Instructions to the heads of tuo three depart ments of the city government communicated with nro also models of brevity. All sa loon men nro required to como to the city building before tlio 10th tiny of each month and pay tliclr licenses. Failure to do so calls Into activity the other part of the Instruc tions , which Is to close up nil saloons where the llconso not paid by tlio 10th. This order will create a sensation when It Is generally known among the saloon men. There nro now Just eighty-three saloon in the city recognized as such by the ofilccrs , and compelled to pay n monthly license. One was closed on Now Year's ' day , but thrco now ones were started up yesterday , making n totnl of eighty-three , whoso proprietors will ho compelled to contribute $51) ) to the city each month and Si.W to the city mar shal for serving the notices and punching ui > the delinquents. Several more buildings ara being lilted up and it Is thought that thcro will bo even ninety saloons in operation by the end of the present week. At the present time , or under the old license , those saloons are paying about . ' ,000 a month into the city treasury. If they can stand the pressure of tuo double license over $1,000 a month will mid Its way Into the city's strong box from the saloon tills. The cause for doubling the license Is stated to bo the desire of the mayor and city officials to check the rapid Inurcnio of saloons. On December 1 there worn only about sixty sa loons in the city. During the last two weeks of the month twenty new ones sprung up without hurting the prospect for further in crease. Ne.irlyall of these carnofromOmtiha , evidently for the purpose of escaping the high license that makes the business nn un certain one thcro. They have generally come in night time. When u suitable room eould he procured it would be swept and gar nished during the day and locked up before dark. The Invariable answer returned to Inquiries concerning the nature of the busi ness to bo transacted at the place would be , "We're putting In a restaurant.1 The next morning would llntl u full-blown saloon' thero. Twenty new restaurants in two weeks indicated that Council Bluffs was either the best place on earth for the rcs- Uurant business or that the saloonkeepers who were slinking out of Omaha to escape the SI,000 license believed that prohibition was observed in Iowa and considered it nec essary to christen their whisky-shops res taurants. How tno$50 license will effect these people and all others engaged in the trafllo can only bo told IAV about a month's experience. Here tofore tno saloon men hdvobeen given the whole month In which to pay their § 25 li censes , and frequently they would permit their obligations to lap over into the new month , and some of them had to oc hauled up to the rack without ceremony. The new order makes the total licenses for a year amount to giliio , the extra SiO constituting the marshal's fees. If the prohibitionists sweep down upon them they will fin it that the Omaha license is not any larger than will bo exacted in Council limits. ? 10.00 coats for $5.00 , S12.00 coats for $5.00 , S17.00 coats for $9,00 , at the Boston Store , Council Bluffs. _ All our $30.00 , $3.1.00 , $3.1.00 and $ .19.00 plush coats reduced to $25.00.

Dr. James McNaughton returned from DCS Moines yesterday , where , as the retiring president of the'state teacher's association , ho took an active Interest In the deliberations of the body , and presided over a gathering of over 1,000 representative Hnwkoye teachers. His annual address was published In full by the DCS Moines papers , and was received with great favor by the teachers and the pub 1s lic. A rnlo adopted by the association makes n second term of the president Impossible , but Prof. MeNaughton was gratified by hav ing H. H. Freer , one of his strongest per sonal friends , elected to the position of presi dent , and all the other important ofllces of the association llllcd by men who are his friends and acquaintances. His address was dismissed editorially by the Dos Moines papers. The News devotes nearly u column to it , and praises the effort very warmly. Speaking of McNaughton personally it says : "A man of much ability , a student , a philosopher , a deep thinker , ho graces' the position of prcsldentof this association. * * The address was filled with sound logic and pure argument. The speaker devoted some time to the discussion of the non-partisan election of school olllcials. 'I wish to sug- gesfhero , ' said he ; 'that la some localities a non-partisan nnd unpolitical method of choos ing school ofllccrs will have to bo tiilopt < > d , or disastrous Jesuits will follow soon.1 In the speaker's opinion the school is on. a piano xvith the church , and If that is not a sensible Idea , what is !

PMTTSMOUTH , Nob. , Jan. 8 , ISOl.-r-Bnsobnll Editor Bnn : Since the beginning of the agi tation for n state baseball lenguo tlio enthusi asts of this city have been wild with excite ment. They have oxortcd their utmost ef forts to secure enough capital to run n good club through the season and with good suc cess. Owing to the fact that there uro so many good baseball towns In this state the boys hero have felt a llttlo anxiety as to Pliittsmoutb's ' probable chances for n place , but have nevertheless kept at work and have secured n fairly good club to start with. They have engaged C. A , Miller1as manager nnd ho has , spared no effort to put tbo club on n sound basis. Ho has already secured the following players : Walker , catcher ; S. Pat terson , pitcher ; T. Patterson , first base ; Powers , second , base ; Schuloff , short stop , and Miller third base. Ho has strings out for an excellent outfield nnd several change batteries , That this city will bo well repre sented in the lenguo thcro is now no doubt. Among tbo parties interested in the club hero there Is decided hostility to the idea of holding the league mootlni ; at Grand Island. It 1s objobted to for the reason that it is too far west to bo convenient to n majority of the clubs. As the lenguo will Include sonio eight of the following cities it Is plain thnt Fremont is the best place to hold the meeting , as It is nearer the center of the circuit , viz , . Plnttsmouih , South Omaha , Nebraska Citv , Fremont , Grand Island , Hastings , Beatrice , Norfolk , Kearney and Falls City. As all of these towns with the exception of Kearney und Hustings nro coat of Grand Island.lt . Is plain that a much moro convenient point would bo Fre mont. The outlook for the league Is most certainly a bright ono. Heports from all the above towns muicnta that they are nil cnthu- slastlo over It and say they will make It a success. As the local flu I ) hero has only ono obstacle to overcome , It is hoped that they will soon know whether they "ore in it" or not , , 'Ihoy want to obtain grounds In the city limits , but have not yet done so , as they i cannot secure any itodfesMhlo by the street railway , They Iiav'rf their oycs on several places , however , and will try and make n deal before the season o Poet Burns is bookiSi for the shelf nt Kan sas.City. . , , Charllo Daly has como to his senses at last and quit the ring .for good.

[ Special Tele gram to Tin : BKU.J Two contested election cases from Mcado county wcro disposed of hero this morning by Circuit Judge Thomns. They were McMation , independent , against McCaull , republican , for the ofllco of state's ' attorney , and Budems , democrat , against Jowctt , republican , for the office of county Judge. In each cnso the alleged ground for con test-was that the contester wns not learned In the law. Jowott was ad mitted to the bar after his election , but bo fore qualifying as county judge.

The Soudanese ; women wear no shoos , but decorate their ankles with bright bands of the most precious metals when they ran got them , They also wear rings on their toes. The children of the four hundred are no longer seen In long dresses. There seems to be n tendency to rottirn to the French styles and shorter dresses are the result. Those who ore really the loaders of fashion nro very conservative nnd simple In some of their ways. This is particularly so in regard to note paper , nnd invariably the most simple styles for making It nro selected. A certain philosopher has drawn up a cede of kisses under four bends. This shows that a man may ho a great philosopher and yet know nothing of kisses. The only kisses are these under two heads ; kissing by fours is no kissing. Marquise rings nro again In fashion , They are worn generally on the llttlo linger , but unless the hand Is prettily shaped uro rather conspicuous. Opals sob In diamonds are a favorlto combination. Flvo opals graduated In size nro preferred to one largo one. If any of your gowns have long shoulder scams and the sleeves put in without fulness , It Is a sure "give-away" that they arc at le.ist ono season old. On some of the now gowns the shoulder scams arc not more than two inches long mid the slcovcs of aU costumes uro high and full on the shoulders , Anew female do vice for earning n liveli hood Is that of going around to the houses of society people nnd cleaning nnd repairing Jlno dresso.i that have been accidentally soiled or otherwise Injured. The scheme was devcl- pod In Buffalo. Tf.cro are some women who have all they cin attend to la this lino. A very expensive fad Is having your por- trlt cut as nn onyx camoo. The work Is verv slow , dlfllcult and laborious. The Imago when done is permanent and will last for cen turies. Tlioro are enough people In New York who enjoy this kind of extravagance to clvo constant employment to llvo cameo per trait carvers. The succowof Bcrnhardt's Cleopatra nnd her introduction of snakes In the last act has made the snnko a fashionable feature of the season. It is shown In Jet for millinery pur poses and dress trimmings , and a very hand some brocade Is ono of gold snakes brocaded on black satin. Some fashionable Now York girls wear gold or silver snakes fastened nbout the left ankle. At nn elegant private German Riven at n town near Boston the other night the men went up to n slot machine , put in n nickel , supplied by the hostess , and received forth with a dnmty roll of chocolate \vlth the mimeof his partner on tlio wrapper , Now that , slot machines have made their debut in society , wo may expect to bo introduced in ono way nnd another to the various eccentric members of the family. Chrysanthemum dances arc nil the rage in England Just now. At a great tall in Bir mingham the other evening Mrs. Herbert Chamberlain was dressed as a white chrysan themum in a skirt of white silk , stiffened and shaded to represent the petals of the flower : bodlcoof green silk to represent the stem , with shaded velvet leaves fulling on ttio white skirt , and headdress of petals formIng - Ing the heart of the flower. _ Silk underclothing has had its day nnd in all the retail shops It can now bo purchased comparatively cheap. It never looked well lifter being Inundried , unless ono could afford to take It to ono of the French places , and then it was not always satisfactory. Linen and cambric nro preferable , and the under garments and night robes of French percale are not only ho most serviceable but the daintiest tilings scon for some thro. Decided oddities in fur.s are the beaver ' cravats , " which some of the fashionable girls are wearing. They are made of the ac tual pelts , with two or three tails added and the head loft on ono ofthopults. This head fastens in front , nnd while it is not particu larly ornamental , it indicates that the beaver Is the genuine article and expensive. Al leged beaver cravats can bo had for a few dollars , while the genuine article costs $50 or more. House decorators say that the beautiful quartered oak so much in use now is not the expensive thing that' uninformed persons might suppose , In fact , it is the most beau tiful and at the same time one of the cheap est of the hare woods. Black walnut , for ex ample , now llttlo used in house decoration , is considerably more expensive. The carving of hard woods as well us the decorative cut ting of stone has been brought to a high de gree of perfection in this country , and only tlio best class of European work equals that put in to comparatively expensive buildings here. Some of the most prized appointments in the newest houses are bits of old bouses that have been worn out and torn down. Men about to build fine dwellings may go shopping for colonial fireplace fixtures , old mantels , fun-lights of 1830 to 18-10 , door frames , door knockers nnd even the doors themselves. Sometimes whole houses are sold by the dealers In these wares. Possibly San Fran cisco led this fashion , for ono of Its first und most substantial stone business structures was an English bank in Hong Kong , and was shipped to California early in the fifties.
