NEWS FROM COUNCIL BLUFFS , fchojl Board Members Finally Avvld the Goal Oantraot , HOW IT WAS ACCOMPLISHED AT LAST , Curium Company Will Furnish the Fuel-Other Sulijiiuts of Import ance DlHousscil Kxonorntccl Wlukhniii Entirely. Ihcro wore four members present last evening nt the meeting of the school board , laid for the purpose of making another attempt to award the contract for furnishing Lho coal supply for tbe public schools during Lhopioscnt winter. Wnlte and Stacy were the absent members. Hunter moved that the contract bo awarded to the Carbon Conl company. President Wells ruled that a second was unnecessary , and a vote wns taken resulting as follows ; Yeas , Wells and Hunter ; nuys , Schocntgon and Shubort. Hunter then suggested that the basement of the Hill school bo lilted with coal , as the cold weather was drawing on , mid when the hill became covered with snow and Ice It would bo next to impossible to have any coal Delivered. Wells nsKeii what pilco ho was paying for coal now. Hunter replica that ho was buying the fuel of the Carbon , Conl company with the understanding that If the contract should bo finally awarded to that company It should nil bo put in at the price mimed In the bid , namely , $3.10. If , however , the contract should be awarded to seine other llrm the board would have to pay for it at regular retail prices , which lluctu- ate Homowbilt , but average about $3.0.1.- Sehocntgen thought there was no hurry about Illllng the Hilt school linscmcnt , and made a motion to adjourn until Saturday evening. The vote on this resulted in a tie as before , Schoontgcn and Shuncrt voting In favor aiTd Hunter and Wells against Wells then called Shubort to the chair and made some romar s. in vlilrli ho treated the members of the board in general to A hot roast for acting Ilka overgrown schoolboys , mooting and adjourn- Ine time after tlmo , ucablo to settle n llttlo co.il matter that ought to bo settled by any business man in five minutes. Ho road clip pings from several papers by which ho tried to show that n coal famine was Imminent , and ha thought the matter ought , to be set tled at once. Wells bad just opened a package contain ing two cigar boxes lillod with the two kinds of coal under discussion , and challenged the members of the board to toll which ivas the bettor , when Stacy rushed In very much out of breath and took his seat. Wells moved again that tbo contract bo awarded to the Careen Coal company. Hunter showed a letter by which he showed that the actual cost of the coal which was delivered by the Carbon company at JU.49 xvas .ft.in , and ho thought the board was getting a rare bar gain. Ho also intinmtou that , Mr. Wallace , If awardcn the contract , would not bo able to furnish the coal as agreed , on account of the risn in pi ice. Schoontgon retorted that Wallace's word was iis'good as Ulaiko's , and if he agreed to furnish the coal at that liguro ho would do it. Stacy said ho had made an investigation and had found that the coal offered by the Carbon company wns not so peed as the other for use in furnace * * or stoves and no better for steam heating. He should vote for Wallace. In order to shut olT debate , Sehocntgen moved the previous question , which was carried , Schoontgen , Stacv and Shnbeitvotingyeaaml Wells and Huntcrnay. It was evident that Wells and Hunter wore In n boneless minority , and Wells thoroto.ro made a motion to award the contract to Wallace at JH.Ii. , at the same time entering a protest against voting away 10 cents of the public funds on every ton of coal and stipu lating that every ton must contain ' . ' . 0,000 pounds. After a hot discussion , which was again shut off by the moving of the previous question , the contract uns so awarded. Several communications wro road relat ing to an article that appeared in a recent Omaha sectarian weekly , in which It wns stated that Miss ICato Wickhnm , ono of the public school teachers , had tried to inculcate her religious belief in her pupils , and had afterwards threatened to whip any of her pupils until the blood ran who should toll his or her parents what she had said. The charge was stoutly denied by Miss Wickham , and a couple of letters were read from the men upon whoso author ity Ibo newspaper article wns al leged to have been written , stating that thov had never made any of the state ments with which thov were credited. Upon motion of Member Sclioentgnn a resolution was passed exonerating Miss Wickham from the cuargos made against her and condemn ing any such wroncful accusations made without a shadow of Investigation. After a few matters of minor Importance had been passed upon the boaiM adjourned to meet in tegular session a week from next mondav evening , at which tlmo the final re port of the committee appointed some two weeks ago to investigate the Cox-Shuhort coal ditliculty is expected to makn a report.

A fclioino Is on foot to abolish tlio ofllco of city .marshal. The oftlce is created by n state law , and It cannot bo dona away with until tbo law Is changed ladlcally. Homo or tbc members of the city council who were elected on a "reform and retrench- monl" pluttorm are engineering the plan and although It has not vet been decided In what form tbu deirand shall bo made , it Is certain tliat an cITort will bo made to have the mat ter brought before the legieluturo at this winter's session. A ichoino baa also been suggested that tbo ofllca of chief of police bo done nwav with and tbo work which Is now done by the cblof of police be put Into the bunds of the city marshal. This plan would place the head of the peace department within reach of tbo people , where It coubl bo cut off by vote whenever ooslrod. Which plan is the oottor Is a matter of dispute , and each ono has Its advocates amonx tnja city fathers , t Whichever ono Is adopted , it Is certain that expenses will bo cut down considerably.

" was the question tbat greeted the cars of a young man tbat drives a delivery wagon for S. T , MoAtteo , yesterday afternoon as bo was crossing a strip of pralrlo in the vicinity of the Union Pacific transfer. The speaker was a man who had evidently spent his llfo in the rural districts , and bli moat marued failures consisted of tbo hay seed in bis hull- and a wild look about his oyes. He did not know which express ofllco ho wanted to Ilnd. but mumbled something that led the driver to infer that ho had a very peculiar reason for wanting to find the place which bo did not feel Ilka Im parting to Ibo public. The young man turned interviewer , however , and In a short tlmo learned that tbo same hairless and toothless gitmo had been worked on Mr. Verdant that has resulted In the easy trans fer of so much wealth. The countryman had run up against n bunco man who was long on ncrvo but short on cash , and had to have $ PJi with which to get some of his property out of the hahds of the hard honrtod express company whoso oQlccrs refused to let go of it until the requisite wherewithal ! should bo forthcoming. That amount happened to bo Just what the accommodating granger bad with him. and ho did not see that he was being worked until his now found frlond had made off with tbo cash and left him the ex perience. The victim of the game reported the case to Depot Master McMillan , uat refused to give his name , and loft over the Hock Island for the o.ist. Ho furnished a description of the confidence man to Mr. McMillan also , and tboro is a possibility of Ins being caught If ho ventures about the transfer again.

The exposition given by the Women's Christian association for the benefit of the hospital opened vestorday at tbo Masonio temple , under very favorable circumstances. Meals were served all day by the ladies of the Broadway Methodist church and were well patronized. Booths have been fitted up by n number of tbo linns of the city , ana nro presided over by some of tlio clerks , so that Christmas presents can bo bought to good advantage , especially In tbo day time , when the admission to the hall is fre'e. Some of the booths have been lilted up in an elaborate manner , among tbo finest exhibits being these made by tbu Boston store arid Miss Hagsdalo. In the ovonini ; a magnificent coacert was given by Hans Albert's orchestra of Omaha. A fine program of ten nuraburs was presented - sonted , every number being greeted with loud applause. The attendance was good , but not so Inrira as the excellence of the on- tortalnment deserved. A line program is to bo presented this evening , and it Is booed that n largo crowd will bo prosont.

About 10 o'clock two plainly dressed women evidently Just , over from Germany walked into O'Horuo & Kerrigan's liquid re freshment stand and after depositing their goods and chattels on the floor asked for a couple of glasses of klmmel. Bvory ono in the resort , including tbo bar keeper , stared In amazement at tbo women , but no ono said a word. Two glasses wcro reduced by the dispenser of drinUs and a E Ig square bottle bearing a foreign label placed upon the counter.
