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.

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.

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. "

OMAHA CIG.VIt FACTO KIRS.
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.

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

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 ,

SPECIIT SPOKED HIS PIECE
[ CONTIKl'ED 1'HOM THini ) 1'AOE.J
o'clock , I was called out of bed to meet Mr
Bllllnuslny. Ho came to my house In n cnb ,
Ho wanted to know how the committee was
getting along with the tabulating of the bids
nnd what show his company stood of gottlnu
the contract. I told him wo were not ttirougl :
with the work yet , but that 1 would bo It
favor of giving the lowest responsible biddot
the contract. Ho ti/ld mo of the work hi-
company had dona on the court house ni
Blair , on McCngno's bank nnd I think in
Lincoln , and said ho ought to have the con
tract.
"Blillngslay came to my house ngaln tht
next Sunday night about 10 o'clock and I got
out of bed again to talk to him. Ho bald lit
had come iiKaln to see how ttio committee
was gcttlin : along. I told him I did nol
know as wo were not through with the bids
yet. Ho said : 'Wo liavo got the thing foul ,
have it nailed and nro bound to gel Iho con
tract. Wo have votes enough. I will lls
tlio boys nil right. '
"Ho told mo ho had the votes of Morcarty
Conway , Burdlsh , IClsassor , Donnelly and
Blumer nnd thought Blumcr 'woulc
bring Olson's vote. 'I'll ' toll yoi
Specht , ' ho sind , Morcarty wants
$1,000. but you've been outline
oul so much of the furniture that wo cnn'i
afford to pay moro than $ Jr > 00 or ? ; il)00 ) to uoi
this thing through , and 1'vo about go !
Morcarty down to $ ruO. Conway will got
$ . ' 00 of this and Burdlsh $200. Blumor gets
fcH ! ( ) nnd he'll bring Olson with him. Don-
nelly gets $200 , nnd as you have so much
work to do , Speeht , we'll ' give you $ .100 , nnd
McLenrlo will vote as vou do. '
"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' , .
"Bllllagslay snt on n bench nl the end of n
desk that stood about two feet from n thin
board partition about six feet In hriehth.
After entering the store ho said : ' \ \ e'vo gel
it all llxcd , nnd if you will stay with us thorn
is ? : > i0 ! for you. ' 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 ! "
"No , sir ; " quietly and quickly responded
Mr. Specht.
"Did you tell Messrs. Cooper , Davis , Tuttle
ind Lo'/ry In the council chamber thai Mr.
tilllhiMlay had bribed ome of the members
ind had offered you u WOO brlboi"
"No , sir , but I fought and voted against
; ho contract. "
"Did you not go to Mr. Davis and toll him
o say 'nodlng' about tbo matter ) "
"No , sir. "
Upon the redirect examination Mr. Spocht
: ostllled thai ho hud told Messrs. Bochel and
Davis that money had boon Improperly
Mr. Morcarty asked this question : "Mr.
5pocht , do you know porsonaily thai any man
jus over bribed ino ( "
"No sir , " replied Mr. Spocht.
TalkH with Mumlicra.
Again Mr. Gannon took up the questioning
mil asked : "Mr. Spocht , did you not tell
Mr. Conwny thai his nanio was not to bo
nentlonodl"
"No , sir. I told him that when the testi
mony was all In thai ho would nol bo hurl. "
"And did you not talk with Burdlsh I"
"Yes. 1 told him the sumo thlni ; . "
"Did you not pa to the other members und
ell the same thing1 !
"No , sir. "
"Did you not go riding with n furniture
nan ! "
"Before the bids wcro opened Tom Swobo
wrought Mr. Hc'Jinerdown to my shop. I had
loino business down on South Thirteenth

Wo gel Into my buggy , drove down to Vin

"Is U customary for people to call at you

"Not for furniture men , " replied Mr
Spccht ,
The witness was excused nnd nt mldnlgh

meeting nt Nuiuln , N. v. The matter of

for consideration was the confession of fnlth

The last sentence in the slxtli section of
the sixth chapter was struct ; out , towlt :
Neither nro any other redeemed bv Christ

The most remaruablo thiim' done was to
vote that the seventh section , In the original

"The rest of mankind Cod ! was pleased to
pass by and to ordain to dishonor and wrath1
should ho omitted nltopcllior and the follow-
IIIR adopted as a substltuln for II "Tho de

Christ is the propitiation for the sins of the

any should perish but that all should como to
repentance an.l live. " This chance hnvinc
been made , it was decided to bo necessary to
strike oul the lasl section of the chapter
which relates to the high mystorv just ex
plained. 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
