There is an earnest and well deserved kick coming from all classes of people who have to bo on the streets in the early part of the evening at the present time , the occasion for which recurs at the time the moon changes every month , during a largo part of t ho year. The lichtinp of the streets and tower lights is regulated by what is known as the Phila delphia lighting schedule , and that is based upon about as little good , hard practical sense as any thing that ever emanated from tno Quaker City. The second night after the change of the moon the lights are not turned on until an hour or moro after ilark , the belief being that the little scrap of a moon that is supposed to bo somewhere in the vicinity of the horizon is suftlcleut for all purposes of light until it gets clear out of sight beyond the Hocky mountains. The re sult is that in the early hours of the evening , when the streets are fullest of pcoplo and the lights are needed : nest , the darkness is most complete. In the long days of summer the absurd spectacle of the lights blazing an hour before the sun goes down and an hour after it rises Is also duo to this remarkable schedule , and it is this recollection that makes people kick and swear at times like the prcscht , when the mud and darkness are both too thick for comfort. It Is earnestly hoped the council will order a reorganization of the schedule and give light when it is most needed.

THAT PLKA Ol' Foaniliitlun on Which the Charge of Calumny' Is liild. COUNCIL BI.UPFS , la. , Feb. 19. To the Ed itor of Tun BKK : This city is aflame with prejudice.- Calumniators have the public ear. In this county Justice is driven from the courts , So the motor company declares on the oaths of Its officers and partisans. And why { Press and people have declared that It committed fraud. That is calumny ! These are honor.iblo men eacti and all. Look at the facts of record in this county. Fifty thousand dollars was voted to an Iowa cori > oraton ! to aid that corporation not an other to build a bridge. Yet more. It was expressly stipulated by ordinance that that same company should , wi .bin three years , build and operate a motor line , else i . snould receive no penny of that tax. Unless that company did these things , was it entitled to the money ? \Vho dares claim it ? There was but one way in which that tax could bo secured. It was to make this people and the city council believe that the motor comp.iny had in truth built that brldgo and the railway lino. It had not done so. It had done nothing. It never Intended to do any thing except to get that money without con sideration. An honest man desires no money ho is not entitled to. The thief and the swindler do. The lirst appropriates by stealth ; the later by a trick. " These men resorted to a trick and a Ho. They represented to the city council that the motor company had done all the work. Thereupon , knowing no better , the city coun cil gave the certificate that enabled the motor people to got the tax from the county treasurer. Without that certificate the tax could not have been secured. It was by a false pretense that it was secured ; the motor men knew the statement In it was false ; they knew they had given nothing for that money ; they did not intend to give any thin ? ; they repudiated the"contract with the city. Yet they resorted to that trick to get what was not their own and retain It to this hour. It Wu a I'lot. The motor company planned a stupendous fraud. They deliberately plotted to beat this city and its citizens out of moro than $100,000. The street railway company was char tered In 18(58 ( , It was a small affair and these were the days of small things. Such a thing as paving was not dreamed of then. No ordinance required that company to pa ve er to pay for paving. None was enacted , for that company had barely energy enough to get its mules occasionally to the depots and , nouo to spend in extension of itslincs. Had it attempted extension it would at once have been met by obligations imposed by an ordi nance to meet the occasion , That company was the property of the Union PaeSflo Itall- wav company. The men who planned the motor line saw the situation , This city would never con sent to construction or operation of a system of railway to ho operated at the great speed and with the Immense profit that an electric road would entail without some compensa tion. The laying of the tracks nlono would mean the cost of many , thousands of' dollars to replace the streets as they were when the track layers should commence work. But , if the city could bo tricked ; if , supposing that the 'motor company was constructing the road , it should in fact secretly bo done by the old mule company , no obligation tc cltUen or city would bo contracted. Suppose now that the city bo deluded further inte voting a 1'J-mlll tax. The plotters woult actually make Council Bluffs pay hand somely for the privilege of being plundered So , the stockholders of the motor i-ompanj bought the old nuilo line. Then they mad ( u contract with themselves bv which they for thu inulo company leased to themselves Is for the motor company , the franchise en eyed by the mules. They likewise for the motor company contracted with themselves J. for the tnulo company to build the raotoi track that the motor company was to usi under this louse. A famous contract of this kind was madi when the government was to bo done up ii construction of the Union Paclllo rallwo ; ami It ia significant that the names of Ami- 10 und Sidney Dillon appear as leading stock holders In the motor company. These con tracts made , so these same ueoplo Inform u now iu solemn records on fllo In the cour homo of thin county , the motor company , for the tnulo company , as Its hired servant , built the motor line , In I'nrmiU of the I'lnn , Hut city and people must bo de ceived In order to ho kept quiet. So It was rcprcuenicd that nld wan ne cessary ; the company was unable to do the work without assistance. How fraudulent that statement U seen from the fact that nil told , mule company and all , they put In but ( SI,000. But the tax was voted and tM.OOO was collected as the result. To allay all suspicion the motor company ac cepted the ordinance of 18SO ; Its ofilccrs traveled from one end of the city to the other soliciting and securing release of claims for damages for the line it was to con struct ; then had these papers sfircad on the records of the recorder's ofllco that every ono might see them. To the city and to citizens Its officers many times promised tint the de mands duo under the ordinance of 1MC should bo settled. To secure this J.54,000 voted , the law exacted a certificate from the city coun cil that the contract had been compiled with. This , these men secured and , armed with It , drew the money from the county treasurer and carried it at once to Omaha where it was divided among them. When sued for the non-porforanncc of the obligations Imposed by the ordinance of IbsO , thu company throw off the mask and In solently demanded to know what wo were going to do about It ; that it did nothing ; that the street railway company did all. What arc we going to do about it ? And , for calling that transaction dishonest , the city U branded on oath of these men as u place where no case against this company can bo tried and Justice done. The state ment is false. They are condemned , not by prejudice but by the record. In black and white , on the ordinance book and in the .sworn answers of this company In court , all these facts are laid open for the Inspection of the world. CITIZEN.

II. A. Cox. No. 4 Main. wcmnvs ai Specl.il Service * llclilut Cliurclics Yesterday lli Interests of the ( Jentlcr Sex. Ono of the largest audiences of women ever witnessed in Council Bluffs gathered at the Masonic temple yesterday afternoon in accordance with announcement that a meet ing would be held for women only. Moro than COO were present , and every church , every class and every condition were reprc sented , the bond of womanhood uniting the 'audience into a united body in spite of seem ing differences. Hov. E. W. Allen and Mr. BIrdsall were theonlv members of the other sex present , and they were only allowed by virtue of the law of etiquette that says the host shall not bo excluded trom his own din ner table. All other bold , bad men who tried to enter were given their walking papers at the threshhold by one or more of the lady ushers. Mr. Allen took as the sub ject of his sermon that part of the scripture .where Christ commends Martha for the "good part" which she had chosen , and drew from it a number of lessons as to the way In which wives , mothers , and sisters ought to exercise an influence for good over their husbands , fathers , and brothers. Mrs. J. G. Wadsworth sang a beautiful solo entitled , "Ono Sweetly Solemn Thought1 which was in keeping with the surroundings and added greatly to the impressivcness of the occasion. The night meeting nt the Christian church revival drew perhaps the largest audience of the series and awakened a deep interest , The youthful pastor was at his best and selected for the subject of his sermon the divinity of Christ and the simplicity of the gospel. Divesting it of all the features of a sermon and regarding it in purely an intellectual light , it was a strong and logically correct discourse. The lesson of it was to show that there were but three things necessary for the fullest conception of the pospol and its clearest piesentation ; a belief that Christ lived , that bodied , and that he arose from the grave. There were but three things necessary to bo done to accept the gospel , tJellcf In Christ , repentance and baptism. There were also thrco cardinal promises in the fullest Christian faith , the remission of sins , the promise of the comforting of the Holy Ghost , and the hope of everlasting life. These form the sublime trinity of trin ities upon which the Christian religion is based. The meetings will continue all this wceK with the exception of Saturday evening , and at the present rate the interest in them is increasing the big Masonic temple hall will scarcely bo largo enough to accommodate the crowds before the week ends. The pastor is almost boyish in his looks , but his smooth beardless face is brightened with the glow of strong -intellectuality and In tensified by the keenest earnestness. The singing of Mr. BIrdsall is a strong and popu lar feature , and under his leadership the audience sings the popular evangelistic songs with a great deal of fervor. Perfect action and perfect health result from the use of DC Witt's Little Early Hiscrs. A perfect little pill. Another improvement to the popular Schubert piano. Swansea Music Co.

The school board will hold its regular monthly meeting this evening1 , and another scanco is confidently looked for. This organ ization has become Immensely uopular with the amusement loving public , and whenever it gets together something drops. This will probably bo the last meeting nt which Presi dent Waite and Member Wells will have a chance to warm one another's jackets , and their friends make the prediction that the air will be full of cars and noses and gore and things , For several meetings the report of ex-President AVells on the school book matter has proved an unf ing source of war. The rcpart van ished Ixjtwccn two of the board meetings and Wells claimed that when last seen It was In the itossession of the president , The latter pleaded guilty , but said he had made diligent search and could not Und it. Wells made several formal demandn for it , but al ways received the same reply from Waito. This old quarrel , it is reported , will bo res urrected tonight. Whcro the main Interest centers , how ever , Is in a report which the board at its last meeting ordered Wells to make , as to why ho. as chairman of the flnnnco com mittee , failed to call the attention of the board to the fact that the time was at hand when it was necessary that the board should decide upon the amount of the 'IKi tax levy. There is no pro vision of the law fixing this duty upon the chairman of the finance committee , and Wells olalms that It was not his business. At any rate he mudo no report to the board on the mutter , nobody else thought of it , and as a consequence the schools will have to live on short rations next year or else borrow money. This report will bo made tonight , nr.d as Mr. Wells has already shown his ability for dressing up disagreeable facts for his colleagues , it will probably grate on the nerves of the republican members quite as harshly as any of his former attempts. The reputation Of the board for furnishing rich , rare and racy occurrences will undoubtedly cause the "S. K. O. " sign to bo hung out early in the evening. FOR SALE Citizens State bank stock.

View of thp Tortrenn I'roni Spa How It Is Cilnrdeil , The first thing that greeted our eyes when wo went on deck after breakfast ibout 8:110 : January 12 , was the Rock of ibraltar , looming up in the misty ills- atice , says a correspondent of the ndiiinapolis News. A welcome sight It tvas after nine days of nothing but water , water , as far as the eye could reach. As , vo drew nearer it looked likoa moim- ain surrounded by the sea , the narrow icck of ' land by which it is connected with Spain being then invisible. On ono side it rose almost perpendicularly out of the sea , and from another view it ook the form of an immense lion in a reclining position. Soon the town itself and the fortifications came in sight , the whole surrounded by a strong sea wall. Immediately after anchoring , Spanish men and boys came aboard with ilelicious figs and other fresh fruits for sale. Later a steam launch took us ashore , where wo found plenty of wagons to carry us all around the place. These wagons were painted ellow ( in fact yellow seems to bo the favorite color ) , and were very easy to ride in , having two beats besides ono for the driver.Vo drove through beauti ful gardens , whore , in the month of January were great beds of treraniums in bloom , and others as lovely of helio trope and calla lilies. , There were also walks and stone walls banked with cactus in full bloom , Und at every turn wore little black-eyed Spanish boys , with largo bunches of roses and the lovely English .violfcts , begging us to buy them at "only t hhilliijg a bunch.1 " \Ve \ drove through' the town where street after street i lined with stores of very description- kept by English. Spaniards and Moors , all in theit native eobtumes. The streets are very crooked , and so narrow that In some places two vehicles cannot pas & ; ; but they are well paved v. ith stone and , , kept very clean. There are " 0,000 people , of al national ities , in the town , besieles the 5,000 Eng lish soldiers , and > 'tfio1 ' streets present a gav and busy 'scene/ The poor little patient donkey is the beast of burden. You see. him with great "oads of almost everything on his back , driven by both boys and women , some times walking by his side and sometimes riding him. We saw a woman wearing a sunbonnct and a yellow shawl , sur rounded by a great pile of coops filled with live chickens ] and as the whole was moving we came to the conclusion there was a donkey somewhere underneath , although ho was "out of sight , " as it were. One interesting feature of our sojourn was our visit to the markets , of which there are several. The one whore fruits , vegetables and meats are sold looked very much like our own home markets , and is called the Spanish market. Everything is fresh and looked tempting. Not fur from this was one kept by the Moors , great , fine looking men in their odel costumes. Hero are sold live and dressed poultry , fish and game , and fresh eggs. ' 'Three dozen for a shilling. " How is that for free trade ? Last , but not least , wo obtained per mission to go through the tunnels that have been made through the rock and , witha soldier for a guide , wo started. The ock , outwardly so harmless in ap pearance , has been tunneled with won derful ingenuity and at an enormous expense. There are thrco tunnels , ono above another , and all connected at in tervals by heavy irou gates. They eon- tain over 2,000 cannon , facing as many loopholes. The view from some of these loopholes is unrivaled. Hero the eye sweeps over the Atlantic and the beau tiful blue Mediterranean at the same time , and also two quarters of the globe. The highest point is 1,430 feet above the level of the sea , and is called the Signal El Hacko. The rock is three miles long and from one-half to three- quarters of a mile wide. It is six miles in circumference. The extreme end of the rock facing the pea is "Europe Point. " It is crowned by a lighthouse and defended by strong bat teries. In 1797 it was taken from Spain by the English. Since then an enormous amount of work has been done by the English government , $1,000,000 a year being spent there on its fortifications. Just as the last ravs of the betting bun disappeared , our little launch carried us b k to the Ems. At that hour a canno/i , is fired from El Ilacko , and at thqname time the great gates are closed anil no ono can enter or leave the place until the next morning. At 8 p. m. we" i\tered the Mediter ranean on our wai'ltb Najlcs and left the Reck of GibraltaVy anding grand , and tall , and dark amfd a multitude of trem bling lights at hoii-ba o a sight never to be forgotten. * v She Know IIrr'ililllo' W yn.

The lute Louis J. Jennings , member of the British Parliament and news paper correspondent , will bo re membered by Americans mainly for his services in breaking up the Tweed ring in New York. He was an Englishman , born in London in 18. ! " . lie was bred to the law , but ho early took to newspaper work , and lirst went as correspondent of the London Times to India. Then he came to this country and served "Tho Thunderer" in the same capacity. It was while ho was doing this work , in 1808 , that be was given a position as editorial writer on the New York Times , and he soon showed Mich aptitude in the handling of important matters that he was made managing editor of the paper. It was while serving in this capacity that ho made bis great hit. The rotten ness of the T\yeed ring bad been notori ous for some time , but so clever were the rogues who were plundering the big city of millions every month that no positive proof could bo obtained against them. Finally one of the men \vlio bad been cheated in it division of spoils prepared an elaborate statement of the method of the Tweed frauds and took it to several influential newspapers. The editors wore all afraid to touch it because they know that Tweed bud the judiciary at bis beck and call and controlled abso lutely all the machinery of tho. city gov ernment. Finally the exposure was submitted to Jennings. He studied it carefully , and made up bis mind to begin the fl lit against this monstrous conspiracy which had swindled the city out of $20,000,000 and was stealing hundreds of thousands every month. Ho had a bcricsof articles prepared exposing in detail every branch of the wide-iseaehing frauds. Ho gave names , dates and amounts , and in the face of thp bitterest opposition and threats of civil and criminal libel suits he continued at the work until ho had aroused a public sentiment that proved strong enough to sweep away the scoun drels who wore so strongly entrenched. Tweed was convicted and sentenced to prison , but afterwards escaped and died in his own house. Of his companions some were sent to prison and others sought safety in flight and exile. When Jennings finally prepared to leave New York in 1870 to return to England he received a letter signed by representatives of the best classes in New York , including General Arthur , afterwards president of the United States , the chief justice of the supreme court , the governor of the state and the leaders of the Amoi ican bar , assuring him that the citizens of New York would not for get his valuable serviec : , to the commun ity.After After his return to England he pub lished (1877) ( ) a book descriptive o'f coun try walks in England , "Field , Paths and Green Lanes. " This was followed in 1880 by a similar work , which also at tained great popularity , "Rambles Among the Hills. " Ho was also the author of a work on "Republican Government in the United States" (1808) ( ) , of "Tho Millionaire , " a novel , originally published (1803) ( ) in Bluckwood's Maga zine , and editor of the well known Croker Papers. In 18ST > ho stood as con servative candidate for Stockport and was returned at the head of the poll , re ceiving the largest number of votes ever cast for a member of Parliament for that borough. Ho was also returned in 1880. Jennings was a frequent contributor to the English reviews nnd to American magazines. Ho was a strong , vigorous writer , a man of rare culture , and a brilliant conversationalist. From n Doctor' * Note Ilonk Many have become accustomed to eat ing shortly before retiring. This is a a very injurious habit , even when the digestive organs are in good condition. But if you experience a healthy craving for nutrition you may without compunc tion or fear of injury partake of a light meal. Housewives should know that exposed jelly , buttermilk and all other liquify ing eatables attract and confine malig nant gorms. When medical men desire to secure minute organisms for imesti- gation they expose gelatine to the air. Exposed eatables and preserves have the sumo magnetic iutlucnco upon the air. Such absorbents should be covered by shcer.olosc muslin or window-pane glass.

To the man who has lost a near rela tive imrent , undo or brother by con sumption , the practical question that presents itself Is : What can I do to keep myself and my children free from It ? The avoidance of infected houses and rooms , living as much in the open air as possible and the bccuriug of abundant ventilation for the ofllco , work rooms and especially for the sleeping room , are the most important measures.
