THE OMAHA DAILY BEE : SATURDAY AUGUST , 1881. i it' it'COUNCIL BLUFFS , 'Many ' Matters 'Transpiring ' There Yesterday. Dedication of the Bloomer School Building. Mayor Vaughan and His Lost Perquisites , VnrJonOthorHnpioninK Worthy of Mention. . THE BLOOMER SCHOOL. ir is nr.mcATP.n v ITII AVWOI'UIATE CKHKMONIES. There has nothing ever been sug gested to improve our city so materi ally as the building of the beautiful edifice erected in' the Fourth ward. It willjjtond thejro long after the pros- ent'goifcration ' has inado its exit from lifo'.i useful action. Thu building has been built not only for thu present but for fitturo gcneiatio'im. , Thu first school house evur erected in Council Bluffs iv.ai commenced in 18(54 ( , in the First ward , oil old Stutsnnn slrcet. I'llo next 0110 that was built was the old building on i Willow avenue. That was torn down * to mnko room for the now Bloomer school house. From , year to ycnr money was" liberally appropriated by \ thu district for school houses until in ' 1800. The children of' our schools begun to make rapid 'progress ' in ad vance of the educational ad- J vantagcs that the common schools % afforded , and to moot this want the voters of the district VT : * * wcro appealed to. They readily nnd very generously camu forward with a largo appropriation and voted the im mediate erection of the magnificent structure that ntaiuU on the blulTs overlooking this city and Omaha. The committee in whoso hands was placed the matter of selecting the location for the high school inadu a mistake in selecting so high an elevation , us has long since been demonstrated. Thcro is no question , however , that our rapid growth and inclination to have our children attain the highest 'peak in the educational range will soon demand the old high school building for something still higher. During the winter of 1870 lion. D. 0. Bloomer , who him from the first 'day ho became 11 citizen had thu sub ject ot schools nnd school houses up permost in his mind , with other cili- ZI'IIH interested in thu welfare of our schools , began to suggest that some stop bo taken to inurva.su the capacity of the school houses we already had. The school committees had reported time und again the school houses , espe cially in thu Fourth ward , had become inadequate to supply thu increased de mand for accommodations. This question was debated thoroughly at thu March meeting in 1870 and thu district appropriated $8,000 to enlarge and repair the old Fourth ward school hoiiho. Some ono at tint meeting moved that as a slight token of appre ciation of the valuable services Hon. D. 0. Bloomer , as an actho member of our school board for nine years , thu now building bo called the "Bloomer school building. " This motion was earned ununimounly. During that ' year nothing na done. The ( school bourdlloii. 0 , 11. Scott president , be lieved that'to carry out thu vote of the district would bo a useless expenditure of the people's money and that $8,000 would not moot thu required demand. They concluded to hold what money they had and present the vuinta of the people ut a special meeting called in 1880 to take into consideration thu question of making n permanent last ing improvement in our school accom modation. G. R. Scott at that meeting contended that the district should appropriate $30,000 , with the $8,000 already appropriated ! It was finally voted to use tlio $8,000 to build addi tional school houses and to tear down the old building in tiio Fouith ward nnd erect a new school house in its stead , For this purpose the district voted nn appropriaution of $ L'5,000 , and to make it fall more lightly on the tax payers of the district it was decided to isjiio the amount in bonds to bo negotiated at par. D. 0. Bloomer,1' 4 I uuui } piCBcnt , thought wo shOttuf V 'raisd tile iiioney immediately , wjUfcjuf ; paying the interest. The inotioiiUhut thofichool bonds should bo soldHu pa was made by J. M. I'ulmer , and wo * understand ' tlmj they have been ( fie- godatud'ui a premium of $300 at thu Council Bluffs' Buvings bank. At th'p ( . nuuali meeting in 1870 Dr. Joht ) .Greenund L.F , Murphy were chosen ' mmuberu Of the school botud , lloni " 0. H coU having resigned , D. A. [ "Williams was elioben to till his unox' pi red term , Mr. Williams afterwards resigned and the board selected M. I * . Brewer The piencnt hoaid is coiji- posed of Dri JohiJr | en , L. F. Mur phy , E , E. Aylesworth , L. L. I Bpopucr , M. P. Brewer nnd John I Clausen. Although Mr. Clausen and Mr. Spooner have been added to the board since the buildim * , of ' the Bloomer school house was beaun , yet they are entitled , with the rest of the board , to credit lor supplying the city with ono of the most magnificent structures ever devoted to common school purposes , The building covers - , in area of 89 feet and 4 inches by raW feet and 8 inches and is four stories high , including the basement. The iirst story contains four play rooms ; two 25i33i feet and two 25x30 feet > ; a room 24x30 ; a * corridor 27x54 , and a janitor's room , 10x17. Thu second story contains two school rooms , 25x . tti } feet ; Jno 2-uxyO ; eight hat and Joeap rooms , DxOJ ; one teachers' room , 17x20 ; a corridor , 27x82 To this story It-ad four outside entrances of , a total width of 24 feet , and thrco flight of stairs from this floor lead into the second story" . These stairs Imvo a width of 17 foot. The pnl and a stairway hall 12x.'JI. From this floor ascends ft flight of stain to the fourth and last story , containing ono room 50x80 ; two school rooms 20x28 | two school rooms 18x25 ; two hat nrtu cap rooms .1x12 , and a stairway hall 12xH. ! Tanks Iiavo been placed in the upper story storvt from which water will bo supplied until the American construction company or some other company affords better facilities. Wash-rooms are furnished at convenient points throughout the buildihg. The building will bo heated with air' ' from below over steam coils through brick flues bo- twcen the plaster and floor , so as to kcop the temperature at from 75 ° to 80 ° . The heat passes to the room through registers. Jly this improved system of heating the foot of the pupil will bo kept warm and the head cool. Each room in the building is supplied with a separate ventilating shaft. The wlirflo of the immense H true t me is adorned uith a beautiful spire , in which has been placed a clock at an additional expense of about 91,500. The building com pleted has cost the district § .11,000. 0. F. Driscoll , of Omaha , was the architect and Chris Slraub , of this city , the contractor. Thus briefly hiivu bcon placed before the citizens the history of the 131ooiner school building , that was dedicated last evening with such appropriate ceremony ( a report of which will bo given in qnr noxt' issue ) - n building that will stand as monument to its builders and the pride of our city un til the hour handot time shall stop on thu dial plato of eternity. THE MAYOR. Ill IHIKSN'r TAKB KIM > I Y TO OF HIH 1'EiigUlHJ.TES. Our city council having realised ' that from aomo cause or other ' their allowances against the city wuio foot ing up pretty heavily have made , up their minds to curtail expenses. By a resolution passed' some time ago the mryor was paid $300 per annum for acting an the purchasing agent for the city. The council believing that Mayor Vaughan was a bad vegetable repealed this resolution , and now the mayor receives only § 4 for each moot > ing of the council and is entirely re lieved from involving the city in the way of purchases. Thu mayor docs not take kindly to the council for denying him this prerogative and is championed by The Nonpareil , an allilialion that is certainly sut prising when wo consider the adverse politi cal complexion of J. W. Chapman and Mayor Vaughan. The Vaughan and anti- Vaughan elements "dntcrtain about the same kindly feelings for ono another that persons do who differ on the subject of baptism. Some time ago his honor , the mayor , issued his proclamation declaring that the iirst day of September should ; bo ob served as u public holiday , and the bolls of the city bo rung for half nn hour. On the Fourth of July the mayor g\ivo orders for t'lio ringing of church and other bolls , 'but ; Jnh'n T. Baldwin sat down on tiio nuisance and declared that there will bo no ringing on the llrst'of September. Yesterday the may r revoked his holiday procla mation. Our mayor is a tireless , en ergetic "little twister" and wo have no doubt would succeed as nn exec- ntivo oillcor in a city like Omaha , but hero wo fear ho is not fully appro.- ciatcd by a largo majority. ( J01TK A VKKWCT. Fomo time ago a broker from Kan sas City named F. B. Salmon came to our city , lie went into Erd & Du quette s , on Broadway , and had some talk about selling them a car load of fruit. Finding that ho could close n baigain with thorn , and wishing to know at what ll uro ho could soli and muku a fair profit , ho stopped out and sent a telegram to Hull & Koddin , New York fruit importers , to know what they could furnish the fruit for. Getting * an answer , ho returned to the store and took their order for the fruit , but instead of sending to the firm in Now York the order as taken ho sent thorn u different order , Hull & Koddin forwarded the goods us directed by Mr. Salmon , and not- uithstanding it had boon changed from the original order , Erb & Du quette received thu fruit sent and dis posed of thorn. It seems that some of the fruit originally 01 dored through the broker advanced meantime very materially , and when Messrs. Hull it Koddin sent their bill for the fruit sent , Erb & Duquette refused to pay it OIL , thu ground that they been damaged - aged ia not receiving the fruit ordered bv them jn the first place. Hull it KoJdiu , employed the firm of Amciit it Slma , oil this , city , to prosecute their cluHiid. < - The bnso was tried in 'thb'ejfonit pouil oh Tlutaday , Hull' dih recovered ivyerdiet to the f of8811.20.

This is welcome news , The Masons of this city hayo arrived nt the conclusion that their order needs n library and have commenced i > securing one. They already have dn line collection of valuable books. Ono of the riders { in Foropaugh's circus i , while porfoimiiig Thursday evening , trippou on a hoop and foil from his horse , receiving quite a cut on the head. There weio sixty-six car loads of , > . ' J stock received nt the union stock yard * Thursday.

Patton , ono of Barnum's numerous agents , was in the city yes terday. Miss Carrie Alkjns has gone to Onawa on a brief visit to her uncle's , Mr. Elliot. Two women who wore on the street- on Thursday taking in the circus con cluded that thcv would like a glass of boor and a lunch. They met a young man from Omaha named McGran * . They givvo him the wink nnd ho * fol lowed them into a s.iloon on Broad way and sot up the beer. Shortly after this Lizzie Mnitland missed a gold watch and chain. She accused the young man of having taken the same with felonious intent. Ho de nied , hut the young lady ha4 sen' for the chief of police , and as young Mo- Grah * was leaving ho fell into the ofli- ccr's arms and was convoyed to the city prison. Yeateulay ho had a hearing before > ) udge Burke. After listening fo the testimony of the witnesses on the part of the state , and an atgumcnt from Col. 1) . J5. Daily , who appeared for McCiraw , thu court said ho would take the case under ndviscmcnt , re marking that ho did not wish to hold an innocent ninu nor put ( ho county to any unnecessary expense , but it would be a pretty tight squeeze if the prisoner got away. McGr.uv was put under ? . ' )00 ) bond tt nppcnr next Mon day. Ho claims to Imvo a wife in Omaha. , Mrs. L. S. Bullard and daughters , Kittio and Stella , have arrived homo again. .Mrs. D. S.

P. Mr. 0. is n member of the firm of Clough it Co. , of that city. The , casc of Eugene Beador vs. William Sherbrpck came up for hear ing in the circuit courc on Thursday and resulted in a verdict for the plaintiff. The case was tried before a jury. J elm Limit appeared fpr the plaintiff , and J. P. Organ , assisted by Col. Daily , for defendant. The citizens will perhaps have n chance to re-elect Mr. Vuughan by u largo majority next spring. Mr. Vaughnn met THE Bun re porter circus day and informed him that ho was not the author of the ar ticle signed "Citizen" in Wednesday morning's Nonpareil , The mayorand Alderman Keller nro already on the best of terms. NEVADA JURORS. Ho w They Balanced tlio Scales of Justice in the Good Old Days. Corxoii Appeal. Lust night n number of men wcro sitting in front of the Ormsby house discussing the big mining suit in Eureka between the Richmond and Albion. General Kittroll , W. W. Bishow , Sino Barnes , Johnny Moore and others wore intorcstini * the crowd with recitals of the suits they had seen. Bishop and Kittroll insisted that of lute years the atmosphere of the courts had been purer than in the earlier days. "That is , " said BarncH , "thinner mid weaker ; in other words , jurors cost less than formerly. " Both the lawyers agreed that coin hud a potent nifliionco. When the law was nil on their sidu and the jury on the other , they could only explain it on utcoin hypothesis. At this point an old grizzly-bearded man who had been listening slid up and remarked ; "Mining suits ain't what they used to ba , Tjiuro'd been no real live liti gation o ' speak of since the Raymond X Ky : 'kujt .wltji 'the Hermes , in Pioel.o.- .
