Any amount of ill feeling has been caused
by the renewal of the anti-saloon movement.
t still continues to bo tlio favorite theme of
conversation on the street corners , in splto of
ho Inct that it Is now moro than two days
since the injunction suits wcro commenced.
P. E. Scnbrook was probably the most
alked-of man in Council HlulTs yesterday.
i\nd the remarks that were made about him
, vcro not all of the most friendly nature.
Men stood about the street corners and made
ittlo side remarks about tar nnd feathers
nnd such things that would have boon any-
hliig but reassuring to the subject of the
conversation. The thing that came nearest
.o an actual demonstration took place yester
day morning , when Seabrook was mot upon
the street by S. P. MncConnoll , who notified
: ilm that ho held a bill against him for house
rent amounting to about $10. Seabrook
old him that the house ho lived
n belonged to W. W. Uilgcr , nnd
.lint ho should recognize no ono ns landlord
until ho had been ordered to do so by Mr.
Bllgcr. Mr. MacConncll went away and Sea-
brook heard no more of the matter ut'.til
nfternoon , when ho received a call from a
clerk of Wright & Baldwin , wtio brought a
paper ordering him to surrender the house
withlng three days or become defendant in
n suit to obtain possession.
Mr. Seabrook states that ho has been em
ployed by Bllger as his attorney , and that'
since last July ho has paid no rent , there be
ing a tacit understanding that the rent money
was to bo applied on Bilger's bill for attorney
fees. Two or thrco days ago ho learned from
Bilgcrthat ho had assigned the Icaso of the
louse to S. P. MacComicll ami 10. AV. Hurt
; o secure a debt which ho ( BUger ) owed.
Until that time ho had not the slightest
knowledge that bo was expected to pay his
rent to any one but Mr. Hilger.
The men who have gone w > the trouble nnd
expense of lilting up costly barrooms In the
expectation that they would bo allowed to
mil their places of business without fear of
molestation , now that tlio od ! war which was
waged against the saloons by the law and
order league was stopped , are among the
moat bitter in their denunciations of Sea-
brook. Some of them have spent almost
their last dollar in putting in their costly fur
niture nnd fixture , and now they are broken
hearted , There was nlso n rumor In circula
tion to the effect that the lessees of the
Grant ! hotel had rescinded tlicir contract
with tbo owners of the building nnd would
not take the management of the place without -
out bar privileges , claiming they could not
make it pav. Mr. Jewell , the lessee , was
seen about the matter ycstcrdny. Ho stated
that tbo contract had not been rescinded yet ,
but such a move might bo looked for at any
time if this litigation wont on. Thirty-
one thousand worth of furniture
has been ordered , but ns soon ns
these suits wcro commenced no tele
graphed the proprietors of the factory nt
Grand Uaplds , Mich. , to hold the goods there
until further orders. The owners of the
hotel nro very bluoovcr the turn affairs have
taken , as they have socnt a small fortune on
the elephantine structure , nnd to liavo it
lying idle on their hands niter completion is
an experience they are not at all anxious to
havo.

INSIDE THE OUAND.
The Eloganqo with Wliloli Council
llliinV New Hotel is Bclnir
I'lnlHhcd ,
What the Auditorium is to Chicago the
now 'hotel , "The Grand , " is to Council
Bluffs , only moro so. Few , even of these
who have watched the rising of the walls and
crowning , of the roof , can realize the elegance
In which the interior Is being finished , The
arrangement is such that all the rooms have
the nuvantago of being adapted for use singly
or en suite. On the fourth floor especially
they nro arranged to bo used en suite if do-
sirou , with sitting room , bath room , bed
rooms and closets. Ono peculiarly happy
feature of the plan Is that there are
no back rooms. Kvoryono either faces
Pearl street , First nvcnuo or the
court , which faces the park "tho
garden spot of America , " as old Colonel Carter -
tor , of Cartersvllle , Va. , would say.
The location Is such that wonderful views of
the city nnd surrounding country can bo ob
tained from many points In the building.
The residence portion of the city and the
parks being the most prominent , Instead of
the crowded and noisy business portions ,
gives a homelike effect which will piovo
most pleasing to the guests.
Council Bluffs was hi sere need of such n
hotel , and Its erection by IClmbatl & Champ
is a striking proof of not only the enterprise
of these young men , but of their unbounded
fiilth In Council Bluffs. A substantial
and elegant building was their idea. The
foundation Is upon 1WO , : piles driven thirteen
feet below the curb lino. The piles are
thirty feet iu length mid are of white oak.
Upon thcso heavy Hanging was laid. The
aim has been to mnko the Grand llro proof.
The girders and beams nro of steel. The
elevator shafts and stairways nro constructed
entirely of iron and steel , with marble steps.
Mineral wool nnd asbestos are packed bo-
tweoa every partition nnd Moor.
The architecture is IJomanesquo In style ,
the llrst two stories being of Warrcnsburg ,
Mo. , sandstone , the upper flvotorles being
rock-faced brick , term cotta and Spanish
tile turrets. The whitlows throughout
the building are of heavy plate glass. There
nro fifty-four bath rooms , besides those con
nected with the corridors of every floor. The
bath tubs nro iron , with porcelain finish , and
allexposed pines , faucets , etc. , nro nickel-
plated. Each room has a steam radiator , is
lighted by electricity and has a stationary
wasli stand with not nnd cold water. The
fourth lloor rooms , nud many rooms on other
floors , have open lire places. All the rooms
have return calls and speaking tubes on each
lloor , saving many steps.
The Hnlsh of the rooms is butternut , ma
hogany and antique oak. The electric Ilx >
tures nro specially designed and can bo util
ized for gas In case of need.
The rotundu is nearly the same as the
rotunda in the Now York Life building in
Omaha. It will bo lighted in the center by n. i
large cluster of electric lights , with smaller
groups nbout the sides , giving a brilliant
effect. The wainscoting Is marble , and all
the woodwork is antique oak. The lloor is of
mosaic tiles. The rotunda is a reminder of
the Auditorium In Chicago , possibly because
the , same decorator was employed upon the
columns and marble , whoso skill is shown in
-t the Auditorium.
The first floor of the hotel contains the
odlcc , reading room , railway ticket and tele
graph ofllces , gouts' furnishing goods , drug
store , bar room nnd toilet rooms.
The reading room faces on the park. It is
lighted by windows at least eighteen feet in
height. A largo llro place , with'capacity
sufficient to receive-a largo log , is graced by
a beautiful mantel.
The mala entrance on First avenue is
made attractive by marble wainscoting , mo
saic tile lloor and numerous pleasing decora
tions. The ladles' entrance on Pearl street
is finished with the same elegance.
Thrco compression tank system elevators
are to bo used , two In the rotunda for pas
senger purposes , the other for baggage , etc. ,
being in the rear of the ofllco. The ofllco
faces both the main and the ladles' entrance.
The double parlors and reception rooms nro
oa the second lloor. They are finished in
butternut and mahogany.
The dining room Is on the seventh floor , as
nro also too kitchen and rooms for the help.
The aining room has that essential for cheer
fulness , gooa light , in abundance. There
are fifteen largo windows , reaching
nearly to the coiling , which is very
high , The view from hero is grand ,
the eye easily taking In Omaha , Lake Man-
own and the beautiful residence parts of
Council Bluffs , while the gem of a park lies
under one's feet. The dining room lloor Is of
mosaic tiles , the wainscoting of marble , the
ceiling tinted and pleasingly decorated.
The laundry is in the basement nnd has all
the latest machinery , A barber shop is lo
cated under tbo railway ticket oftlco.
Electric cars pass the door , running to and
from all parts of Council Bluffs and Omaha.
Messrs. Cragln it Co. have leased the hotel
for five years. It will bo under the manage
ment of Mr. F. W. Jewell , who is already n
favorite with the traveling public. The lln-
Ishtng touches are now being put on the in
terior. Elegant furnishings will soon bo put
in place , and the expectation is that the
Grand will bo thrown onon to the public
about March 15 , the opening to bo attended
with n grand banquet on n magnificent scale ,
in keeping with the grandeur of the building ,
and typical of the brilliant future of the
houso.

How Illinois Republicans Ijoolc nt the

CHICAGO , Fob. 14. [ Special Telegram to
THE BEC.J The rumored dicker between
democrats nnd farmers of/Illinois nnd South
Dakota Is , by the democrats of tbo new
state , looked upon with great favor. For
Henry Cunningham of Pierre , S. D. , is au
thority.
Tbo information reached us the first part
of this week , " Mr. Cunningham said today ,
"and It took llko , wildfire. lam an ou ntid-
out democrat and my fellow mom bors of tlio
party uro , llko ray plf , for the cause , but the
only good wo have thus far done is to prevent
the re-election of Aloody and the election of
aiivono by the republicans. Wo hnvo boon
holding out In hopes that possibly the farm
ers would como to us , but the farm
ers have been holding out in
hopes that wo would go to them.
So that on that plan , nclUior party wns
likely to give in , But now this scheme ,
which provides for , our helping the farmers
in South Dakota in return for the farmers la
Illinois helping tliQj democrats of this state ,
has been proposed , we are willing to throw
our vague chanoas for the benefit of the
party , and , If Illinois fanners have their
cause at heart they , will do the samo. "
Senator Hill of , Colorado is of the opinion
that Cleveland's .anti-silver letter won't hurt
him in the west , ii
"Wo of tbO1 west , " ho remarked
In his apartments nt the Grand
Pacific hotel "do not look for favorable
action by nny occupant of the whlto house >
upon frco sliver legislation. The presidents ,
coming as they do , from the cast , nro im
pregnated with the gold theories of the east
ern financiers. They believe that free silver !
would work ruin upon the country nnd they >
UU "t help believing so : and wo nro neither ;
urpi Isea nor tempted to think less of them
for thinking so. , . ,
"Now if Harrison should , In tbo event of
congress sending to him n free silver bill
veto It , It would not affect his standing In 11r
west , and the expressions of the nntl-allvcr
sentiments from Cleveland or anybody else
do not astonish us. Of course wo should llko

so long as the occupants of the white so
