NEWS FROM COUNCIL BLUFFS , Busy Burglar Gets In His Work on the Safe of an Oil Company. INSTRUCTIONS ON THE DOOR IGNORED , Cracksmen Preferred to ISntcr In the Conventional \Vny- Other Vlwlts AVero Pa hi by the Lnw- Burglars visited the ofllco of the Consol idated Tank Line company nt an early hour yesterday morning , They entered by forc ing open the roar door , which was marred M though by n cnlsol or other sharp Instru ment. A hole was then drilled In the snfo door Just above the combination , and the combination was blown Into smithereens. The money drawer was also broken In pieces by the explosion , and the contents were cleaned out. Among the booty was about ? . ! 0 In cash. A lot of papers wcro also taken out , examined , Und loft lying about the yard. Day bofuro yostordnv afternoon n couple of men entered the establishment and one of thoni made some lutjuirioj of the proprietor , while the otner meandered Into the ofllco , which was deserted at the time. The tnoory of the men about the ofllco Is that the two were rocoiinoltorlng , but so lltllo at tention was paid to them that it is not at n 1 sure they would be recognized If they should bo found. It Is hard toseo what object the burglars could have had in blowing up the safe , us it has been the custom for some time past to tie a card on the door knob ouch night so that if thieves should happen to get In they could not , in to thosafo without damaging It. After completing ttioir labors ut the tank line ofllce , the burglars crossed thostrcot and broke In the outside door. They then pro ceeded to ransack the desk. Thcro was no money In the olllcc anywhere , and the vis itors had to content themselves with scatter ing the napors over tlio lloor. Nothing of any value was missing. Some time during tiio same night the black smith shop of George it. Urown , on Upper H road way east of the Ogden house , was broKcn open und a lot of sledge hammers , braces , hits , ctusols , drills and other tools of the same kind were taken. The theory of tlioso acquainted with the affair la that all the burglar work was done by the same par- tics , and that tlio marauders used the tools which they obtained nt the olacksmlth shop to assist them In carrying out their plans at tlio other places. Tliero Is no clue to the present whereabouts ot tlio thieves. Do you ever look back ton years to n time when Council Bluffs was much smaller than it is now and when corn and potatoes were being grown on what is now Homoof tlio best pronorty in town ? Do you over wish you had bought some property then , oven if it was hard work to pay for it ? Do you know that Coun cil UlulTs could not stop growing if it wanted to , and that in addition to its own growth wo are sure of catching a good share of the increase in population which will como to Omaha with bolter times ? Wo venture to predict that there is not a dollar's worth of real estate in town that will not bo worth several times what it is today in another ton years. When that time comes you will have to nay a good round price if you want a lot'in Morningsidc , because they will all bo owned by people who won't euro to sell at any price. He ItlNcs to itcinark. Colonel A. T. Whlttlosoy , who has acted as school census enumerator , complains that ho has been done an injustice in a rumor ulitch has oeen started to the effect that ho was guilty of "stufllng the ballot box" in order to make u good showing. "In of fact " ho "the point , says , enumera tion which I have Just completed , instead of being excessive , is lilcoly to be under the actual figures. In the First nnd Third wards tdoro is a largo outlying territory where many residences may not bo in sight of the passers-by on the main roads , and they may have been omitted. Cutoff Island has not been enumerated nt all. I went there last Thursday but could not llnd any ono whoknow wlioro the real limits of the dis puted territory woro. I presume a comnloto enumeration would probably show ; ! 00 names more than I have been able to enumerate. Autumn Millinery Display. The finest millinery display for the autumn of 1891 the ladies of Council Bluffs will find will bo that of Misses Sprink and Foaron , which occurs Tues day and Wednesday of this week , botli afternoon anil evening. They will find the latest Parisian , London and Now York styles of autumn and winter pat terns. The rooms will bo handsomely decorated and the ladies will bo assured a pleasant time while noting the beauti ful and radical changes that have been made in the now season's millinery. Morningsido was platted last year. Ton modern artistic houses have al ready boon built. A largo number of lots have been sold to others , who in tend to build. _ Tlio "Poet Preacher's" Friends. Few pastors have won sucu n strong hold upon this community as has Hov. G. W. Crofts of the First Congregational church.

Crofts has always boon ready to respond spend to all demands upon his time and ' thought for the public goo'iV , nnd his numer ous friends , without regard to church affiliations , deem It blirhly befitting that they should now Improve this opportunity of expressing tbolr appreciation.

Ono of the prominent social events of the past week was ttiupresentation of the drama , "After Ton Years , or The Manlao Wife , " by the Inlsfall Philharmonic Dramatlo oliib , for the benoilt of the Gorman Catholic church. The members of the club have boon rehears ing on this play for several weeks past , nnd the results of their painstaking labors wore evident in the excellent way la which each character was represented. Miss Cecilia Hughes asM . Jinuidon , the maniac , und Mrs. C. A. Fox ns Mrs. Archer , carried oft tlio honors of the evening , while Henry Pnshel as Joe Brandon , the man of the world , George F.

Marlon "Parker , who works at the Rock Island round house , was the victim of a bad accident yesterday morning. Ho was workIng - Ing a windlass connected with n turntable , when the crmik caught his clothing and throw him to tbo ground. As ho struggled to nrlso ibo handle mar1 t another revolution and struck him over I uhcnd , Indicting some terrible wounds on tlio scalp. Ho was picked up In nn unconscious condition nnd moved to the ofllco of Dr. C. II. Plnnoy , who sowed up tbo ( rashes. Ho was then ta'kcn to his homo on West Broadway , where nt last accounts ho was resting easily. There has never boon an Investment offered In Council BHilTs that was as safe as Morningsido and nt tile same time gave such premise of a largo profit to the investor. It does not depend on a boom nor oven on the growth of the city. The extensive Improvements that have been planned and are now being made , added to what nature has already done for it are as certain to make It more valuable as day Is to follow night. It will not bo long till Morning side will bo so much moro beautiful and desirable as a residence place than any thing else In Iho city , that people who want nice places for permanent homes will bo glad to got lots there at prices that would seem extra vagant now. IN CIIUISTIAN OMAHA. Sad CiiHC of Sufferlm * nnd Destitu tion. A very pltlablo case of dostltution was discovered yesterday afternoon In the vicin ity ot Locust and Fllltconth streets. Mrs. Sipo , an aged widow , who has been strug gling for some lima to escape the wolf of utler destitution , dragged herself to the homo of ono of the neighbors living north of Delta's brick yard and begged for something to preserve life. The poor woman had asked the county commissioners for assistance , but had been refused , nndshn had almost reached the point of starvation. It is absolutely nec essary that assistance bo furnished the destitute - tute woman , nnd it appears to bo the duty of the county commissioners to furnish the re lief required.

How Homo Putronago Would IncrcaHC Their ItusiiiUHH Many Kohl. Tlio cigar business has suffered moro than any other line of manufacture in Omaha from the lank of homo patronage. That is putting it too milJ , however , and It would moro nearly express tbo truth to say that the cigar manufacturing Interests la Omaha have been wrecked by the Custom so prevalent hero in late years of going east for every thing. It was only n few years ao that one firm employed 12.5 cigarnmkers in this city , and at a time , too , wncn Oinahti was only about half Its present size. This particular linn put up what was n tine building for the time , cost- ins ? 1'JOUO , and moved into it. At that time their business could not have been bought for less than $ : > U,000. Where is this business nowl Go cast where you buy your cigars nnd you will llnd it. The proprietors are still hero , but they have seen their business and the business of every other cigar manufacturer dwindle down year after year until it amounts to almost noth'ing. There uro now from thirty to thirty-live men employed In all the cigar factories of Omaha , or only about one-fourth of the number em- ploved by ono single firm when Omaha was a city uf only (10,000 ( inhabitants. Could anything demonstrate moro forcibly the necessity for homo patronage than this wreck of what was once an important Indus try ) This , too , when it Is taken into consideration oration that with homo patronage there would bo work enough nero for 500 cigar- makers. St. Paul employs between -100 nnd MO clgarmakers and Minneapolis not many loss. The two cities together employ not loss than & 00 men in this brnnca of manufacture. Sioux City , with u population of 1)7,000. employs close to forty cigurmnkors , or moro than Omaha. How do tnoy manage lo do Ihlsl I will give one single Instance that will furnish a key to the whole matter. An Omaha cigar manufacturer has an old-lime friend In the retail cigar business in Sioux City. Ho went up to see his friend and pro posed to sell him some cigars at a very rea sonable price. What was the Kioux City man's answer } "You know that 1 would go a long way to accommodate you , just as vou would mo , and It you will move your factory to Sioux City you can make every cigar that I sell , hut I would not dare to buy a cigar from any factory located outside of this city. It my patrons found that I wus going awiiy from Sioux Cily to buy mv goods they would leave me. " Clgarmnkors earn $12 to $15 per wcoit , or say on an average $ K1 , which would bo low , and as u class they sptnd their money as they earn It. With 500 men workIng - Ing in Omaha that would glvo 1,500 weekly lo bo spenl among the retail dealers of the city , or Wf,000 per year. If business Is so lively and times generally so good that the business men nnd properly owners of this city can afford to do without the fcWS.OUO. lot them go on smoking eastern cigars and let some other city have the money. If any one asks what killed the cigar manufacturing interest ! ) of this city the an swer ls easily given ; The wholesale and re tail dealers did It , through the indifference of smokers. Cigars made by child and pauper labor In tno tenement houses of the east con bo bought as low as $11 per 1,000 and sold in thl * city at fl cents auloco. That Isvliv the dealer llko to sell eastern goods , nnd tliat I * why ho laughs when u smoker speaks of Omaha made cigars , and thai Is wliv ho claims ibat they cannot make good cigars in Omaha , The eastern papers have "written up" the tenement house * whore cigars uro made and have painted such horrible picture * of the filth of the places where the worker * are suffering from tliu vilest of conlaglous dis cuses , that no eastern man will smoke these cigars. Statistics show that nine-tenths of these cigar * are sold in the west. Is It any won der that careless smokers who take what ever Iho dealer. ) pass out sometimes suitor from such diseases as cancer of Iho mouth ) When 11 comet to Iho bettor class of cigars that can tie retailed ut from 5 cents up , made by union labor in factories open to public in spection , Onuilia can cornpoio in price and quality with any other city. L'uloa labor is no higher hero tban In tuo east , nnd loaf UhHcco can bo shipped from the south and cast nt u lower rate than the manufactured cigars. The whole trouble Is thai the wholesale dealers controlUSo retail dealer * and put on onto lliom UiQchenDC.it cigars that their trade will la o uc'causo ihorc Is mote profit In them. The only remedy Is for the smoker to demand Omaha brands In spite ol what the dciilcr Jnay say. Supposing the smoker buys nn Omnhn made cigar nt 5 cnnts , bo will got nn article costing at the factory nol loss limn $ W per 1,000 , instead of ono costing In Now York from 111 to ? 1T . It mnv not please the denier so well , nnd if.ypji are smoking for his bene fit you will have to take an eastern made cigar. ' It has been suggested by several Omshn cigar manufacturers that the Manufacturers' ' association adopt some trade mark thai could bo placed on all Nebraska made articles , so Ihat consumers would know thai the > wcro gelling homo made goods. SOULiFUIj PlilSASUUUJ I-OSF. A CeiimiH Agent Laments tlio lit- Niiniclcnoy ofDoatliM In Ills District. Tlio story of the census , if t'&ld from th < correspondence ol Iho ofllco , would make r literary sensation. Life struggles nro told in cold figures ; character studios may bo had of .nil classes of pcoplo ; humor and pathos ininglo with the unfeeling lines of nvarlco. During the preliminary work of census ink' ing Iho ofllco was startled by the refusal ol nn Omaha clergyman to accept $100 for col Icctlngdata regarding the church to which ho belonged. Ho told the ofllclnls that there were enough people plucking the public crib , nnd that ho would gladly do the work re > quired without componsatfsi. Heplylng the census olllco expressed amazement , and warmly thanked him for his patriotic action. Credit is duo the census olllco for bringing out n humorist who acted as enumerator at t. Albnns , Vt. The following letter from this functionary to bis superiorolllcer is self- explanatory and establishes the right of Its author to a place on tlio starry scroll Of tbo Immortals who have served their generation by lighting up tbo gloom. The letter runs tuns : I have your favor of ttio 10th Inst. Inform ing mo of the dissatisfaction of your depart ment with my mortality reports , and thai It was unreasonable to suppose lhal In a dis trict containing 1,810 persons thcro should bo but six deaths during the last live mouths of the census year ; tlmt according to some laws of average , hitherto unknown and therefore unheeded bv the good people of my district , there should hnvo been ten deaths rather than six during the period indicated. I am Very sorry that my conscience pre vents my reporting to you more deaths than were actually reported to me , for 1 inquired in every house , and you already have the ro suits. I studied your instructions very carefully nnd found nothing in them to indicate that you expected ten deaths in my district in order to make the census complete. Of course bad I known that the safety of my country's Institutions demanded ten deaths I might have taken means to have obtained then : , for I know of several good subjects for pleasant funerals , all of said subjects being men whoso deaths I would hnvo recorded with much pleasure. But pardon mo for calling attention to n seeming inconsistency in your law of average ns applied even to the different districts of this town. In Barney F. Kelly's district ( No. 110 , St. Albnns ) , there wore about I.OOO persons and twenty deaths. Now , from your letter I understand you require one dead person for each 1SI live ones , but ho re turned ono dead one for each ninety-live live ones. Now , this number being so" much in excess of the average indicated , will it bo re quired to resurrect enough to bring it down where it belongs } But possibly if you Know my district you would not presume to apply to it the rules Indicated. In the iirst place I have it from good au thority that there is but ono place in the world whore the rateof mortality is as low ns in St. Albans , and that place is far nwny in sunny Italy : but those people , being ig norant and bovona our jurisdiction , wo can hardly expect1 them to die according to the rules of the census department. My district contains a largo number of persons who for pluck , p.ittonce nnd perse verance are Hie wonder and admiration of the age , I refer , &of course , to Vermont democrats who , j'ou must know , occasionally grow old , out never die. There are a few government officeholders , and you know that dying is nol ono of their peculiarities , but had I received your instruc tions previous to tlio last election , and if they felt in any way as I aid when the returns wcro coming in , I think 1 might have persuaded some of the newly appointed ones to dlo with little difficulty. There are also a few school teachers , but presiding , as they have , so long over that band of augeliu beings whoso bright abodes are in the pleasant homes ot St. Albans they arj not yet prepared to run the risk of being compelled to take positions In the sul phurous "district beyond the veil , " where the reigning spirits have as little comprehen sion of a good school law as the Vermont losr- islaiuro. There nro some lawyers to whom , if the angel of death were to appear with his sword already drawn , they would calmly nsk for his credentials , and finally , whnii their last breath had departed , they would insist upon proof of their own death. There are. too , somophysiciansof excellent standing , but their operations have boon confined to Mr , Kelly's district , where the death rate is so high , nnd , never having tauen any of tliulr own medicine , of course , I have derived no assistance from this source in securing victims. There are also some merchants , but they have been so busily engaged in marking up their goods In anticipation ot the imagined effects of the AU-ICiiiloj lull that they haven't died , but they would probably have done so had they known It would accommodate any body , particularly ttio census enumerators , who are very popular. x There nro several clergymen , a few den- cons , some stewards , an iCpiscopal vptlry , nnd a couple of Sunday school superintend ents , but , of course , none of those dare to dio. dio.Thero There are some editors , called by some "uncrowned kings of thoughts. " It Is un o'.d adage , you know , "Uneasy lies the head Ihnl wears n crown , ' but being uncrowned edl- lors generally Ilo so extremely easy thai 1 would not feel justified in reporting thorn us dead upon their own testimony alone. There are some plumbers , but 11 would bo n groal disadvantage to them to bo compelled to depart for that portion of the undiscovered country , where , owing to the intense heat of the climate , solder over remains in a liquid state. As for the rest of the people , I can only say thai If you were over to visit my section of this beautiful village you would see at pnco how hard It wo.ild bo to cntlca them into any other country , hero or hereafter , no matter how fair U3 fields , how blue its skloj , how golden its ptpeots , ho.v happy ils inhab itants , Ll But I am aware that your department likes condensed oftlchll reports , hence 1 must baston to clusu this one , only trusting that you will regard tills explanation of the small number of deaths In my district ns satis factory ; but vvliile I am upon this sub- loot of the census I may us well stale that while rcgrotlnj ? ( exceedingly to sever the onlclul relatlous-nxlsting between us 1 shall nol bo p candidate for enumerator In 1'JOO. ' I behove In passing thcso things around.

I , myself , tltoiiRU modest , am con strained to admit tnat my being no longer connected with Uio census dopartmonl will bo n serious lo s LO the country , hut when I rolled that If ouly four moro persons had understood the rules and died I should have been entitled to 81.01 for six weeks' work , the myailo cords of conscience , vlbrtitlng to the touch of patriotism , lull mo Into believ ing that I have Deon fed all that I deserve to bo at the public crib.

' "I told Ullllngsloy that I would not vote for him unless his bid was lower than thai of any of the others , and that if it wat 1 would vote to give him the contract and that bo would bettor save hU money. This was the substance of our conversation , nlthougl ho stayed until nearlv 1 o'clock In the mow ing. " Moctiiifj nt the Shoe Store. Mr. Specht then detailed the particulars ol his meeting with Billlne.sliy at the s > hoe store ntfil4 South Sixteenth struj' , .

' Ho asked about OsthofT , and I said , 'You had uottor let OstholT alone or you will got hurt. ' Then ho asked about Davis nnd ChalToo , nnd I said ' 1 don't think they will vote for anybody. ' "Billinu'shiv said , 'its going to bo n hard fight , but I've got it fixed witn Moriority , Conway. Burdlsh , Donnelly and Elsaoer. OstholT is our friend and wo count on him. If you will vote with us there will bo no troulo about McLoarlo. ' "Again 1 tola him ho had better save his money , and going out of the store I got in my buggy and drove away. "Upo several ocassions on going to my shop , I found a note written on my slate. The notes were written by Billngsluy , requesting me to call on him. Made nn Karly Call. "Tho night after the committee finished tabulnllng Mr. Coots' bid , after I went homo and hud gene to beu , the door bell rang. My wife went to the door and then bald it was Billiugslay , tlio furniture man , and that ho wantoj to see tno. I told her not to let him In. 1 think this was about 10 . ' 'M o'clock. ' Tbo next morning shortly after ( ! o'clock my wife looked oul of the window and said 'there was -man in the barn. ' I looked out and recogni/.od Billingslny talking with the hired man. After dressing I went down stairs and just at lhal time he rang the cioor boll and was allowed to en tor. "This was the day before the council waste to meet and award the contract. Aftertulk- inir a few moments ho said the time bad come when' the furniture matter had to oe lixcd up. He wauled lo know what I proposed to do. "I told him that 1 should aclviso returniucr all of the certified checks and let the success ful bidder put up a bond , as there was no money in tha treasury to pay for the furni ture , and would nol bo until bonds were voted. " "Wlint did Blllingslay say ! " asked Mr U'harton. "He replied , 'wo can got It through with out your vote. ' " "Did you vote for the a ward I" "No sir. " "Did you vote against it ! " "Yes sir.1 Continuing Mr. Specht said : "Billlngslay was at my hoasu six or eight times and when conversations were hold with him either my wife , my cousin George Specht or my bistor- in-lnw Miss Klimbard worj present. Miss ICIIinbnrd was tlio young woman who brought the cigars Iho nighl Ihat , Biliiti slay and I talked prices when wo but. . in the parlor , and at that meeting wo checked over tlio names of the councilman who would vote for his contract , " "Now Mr. Specht , you may loll who was in the Sixteenth street shoo btoro when you had Iho conversation with Mr. Billingslay. " "W. li. Walker , and ho hoard all that was said. " On Cross-examination. This closed Mr. Spocht's direct examina tion and Mr. Gannon took a hand at cross- examination. Hu asked concerning Mr , Spccht's official career nnd finally got down to the question of boodle by asking when Blllingslay first made his appearance nt the Specht mansion. It was August ; M. At that time ho Mmply asked how mutters were pottlnc nlontr , but on the following Sunday BilliiiKslay got down to business and according to the testi mony put out his lines for suckers. To quote Mr. Spocht's language , Billlngj- Iny said , "You can have § 300 if you will vote for our bid. " Air. Specht replied : "No. If you uro Iho lowesl bidder you will irel my vote without money. " "Did ho tell you that Morearty wanted monovi" asked Mr. Gannon , "Yes , he said ' .Morearty wanted ? l,000 hut I gel him down lo ? K)0 ) and Burdish down to $300. ' I told him to save his money. " "Did ho offer you any money j" "Yes sir. Ho told mo I could have ? 300. " "Did you think the price too low ! " "No man can buy Chris Specht , " retorted the witness. Mr. Wharton insisted that Mr. Gannon's question was improper and out of place. "Lot. him go on , " s'lid Mr. Spocht , "I re sent Iho Insult , but am not ashmcd to answer the question. " Mr. Gannon asked Mr. Specht if ho know of the boodlism on the night the award was made to the Kutchnm people. Ilo did and told ftlossrs. Bcchol and Davis to vote against the contract , as ho was sure Lhat money had boon used. Ho did not toll them that nlL-lit , but. had spoken 10 thorn nt their oftlcos two or three days before the council meeting. At that meeting lie mentioned the nanuis of Blumer , Burdlsh , Couwiiy nnd Morearlty. Witness had never talked with Agenl llagen aboul money or rates. Caiinod Some Rxclteincnt. A rlpplo of excitement spread through the lobby when Mr. Gannon asked , "Did you say inything lo Mr. Blllingslay about having a note to pay and thai you were short of money !

In the third sect Ion'of chanter six. the clause , "thoi-tiiltof this sin was imputed'1 was dropped , because to say "wo all sinned in Adam" Is to say what is' utterly unintel ligible and Inconceivable , nnd the whole idea Is contrary to natural justice and to the express - press declaration of Scripture , "Tho son shall not boar tlip Iniquity of the father.
