Among the proceedings of the cify council , not included in the report of the previous regular program , was the adoption of tlio following elaborate proimblo and resolution , in which the expressions "this council" "the coun cil" occur seventeen times , indicating the literary taste of the author : Whereas , thu common council of the city of Council Bluffs have always been courteous and accommodating to the persons engaged in the reporting of proceedings nnd nowa from the common council in the consideration > f public business being transacted by the council , and to this end have ai no time hindered any newspaper ro- torter in thin business , but hove will- ugly permitted the use of and granted every opportunity nnd facility to niako and have the proceeding of the coun cil published for the benefit of all per sons interested therein ; und WitKHUAH , Wo fun ! and see on the adjournment of every council the greatest abuse of the courtesy ex tended to one C. F. Adnms , the local reporter of Tin : OMAHA BKH , a news paper published in u foreign city , in thu statement of facts and record proceedings of the council , and that the said AdaniB , without roi'ard to facts , misrepresents the proceedings of the council , ns well an the motives of the individual members of the council and other ofjlcors of the city of Council Bluffs , in an ungentlemanly - manly w.iy , ns to himself and to thu common council , in the wilfully perverse - verso medium of his misrepresenta tion of facts and proceedings of this council , thereby wilfully abusing the confidence of this council nnd < ku public as to facts , and the courtesy ov- tended to him by this council ; there fore be it Resolved , That wo hereby express our contempt for ouch willful abuse of ourselves nnd the public as to pro ceeding , und thu facts nctod upon by this council , and that the said C. F. Adams may still enjoy the conrtosy of this council iu the unu of the city chairs and desks to prepare article of misrepresentations and deceit ns he has heretofore done , and that we do hereby express thu moatcomploto con tempt for the said "Omaha Boo" and the person aforesaid employed by it to deceive'and misrepresent the facts and proceeding ot this counsel , gained from public meetings of this council ; and that these resolution ! ) be printed and entered on the records as part of the proceeding of this council. The foregoing was written by our city attorney and introduced before our "do facto" city government last Friday evening by ono of the Big 4 "do facto" aldermen , E. R. Fonda , ono of the U. P. cabmen , better known as "Chapman's hairless choru him. " In presenting thu above , the cabman stated that ho had been iibuued and stung by TUB BKK long onougli. That he was tired of it. ' 'Thoothor day that paper said I wa foolish , and if they are allowed to go on I am ufraid tuuy will prove it. If it appeared in some papers I would not say ono word , but Tun BKU has a. wide circulation all through this state and the went , is taken all over No-i braska , away up the Platte river , whore I nm known. These are my reasons , gentlemen , for asking you to pass this resolution. " After the cabman had concluded , Mr. Churchill moved that it bo laid on the table. Mr. Dawaon said tlmtTiiK BKE had made light of the proceedings when they should be treated with grave solemnity. Ho for ono should vow ; in favor of the resolution. A vote was taken , resulting in its passage ; Ponda , Uiwson , Keller and Spetman noting in the ullirmntivo , Churchill ind Unthank in the negative. Phil lips and Cayin were not present. Asi will bo observed tlioao charges are made without any "in that's1 , or specifications of what was pub lished which has been considered cowardly and dishonorable. ' Even among the filth and slime of an ancient or modern "Asatia" sincn lost , with out money or without price , on Monday mornings , following each council meeting , 'we ' have given full and complete accountjof the proceed ings of the elty council. That we have at times erred in our report wo do not deny , but wo say in truth , dur ing all this time neither by letterer word hai our attention been but once called to a mistake we had made in our report of facts and this was a mistake in a financial teckoliing. We have not always published the de bates ver batim , we have too much ro- spcot for Council Blutfand her system of free schools. They censure us be cause wo dared to accuse them of nil- fully and mnticioiuly dugraoing , our city in the eyes of the civilized 'world , in refusing to examine the returned abstracts , declare the loatilt nnd call anew now election ai the law requires them to do. Wo say no matter how honest pcraonally theno men may bo , to defy the will of the voters of this city expressed - ' pressed at the polls ( which nald in lan guage an plain as that which appeared on the wall at the fe.iit of Bel- Bhan7.or , "You have boon weighed in the balance and found wanting ) is n willful , disgraceful and foolish viola tion of u public duty on general prin ciples. Ordinarily wo should feel very much grieved to bo csnsured by the city council of a ciy of 120,000 inhabitants - habitants , for trying to do our duty towards them by 'attacking wrong wherever it may appear , on our Htreots/in our saloons or in the halla of our city legislature. But coming from a sot of men who , like dunces , are too ignorant to be of any public uuo and too stubborn to learn , who for willfully reftming to do u sworn duty are existing daily under the sluulow of a criminal prosecution , and are only kept from behind the bars by the bonds of sympathetic friends , we shall reserve our tiurs for n moro fit ting occasion. 1 > KSK11V1I > NotwttliBlunding the unfavorable season for the health of western cities , owing to heavy r.urn and tliu conao- ( juont tendency to bad mularin , Coun- eil Ulnlla U remarkably healthy thij Benson.

Presently n porter announced that nil was ready , nnd thu nayor and city council , escorted by Colonel Dailuy , J. C. Da Haven and E. F. Holmes entered the ante oem iu which the mtppur was pro- mtod.

Quito a disgusting scene was wit- teased on Broadway. A man whose lUsineHs seems to be to carry a banjo round under his urm got into n war f .woids with a woman , presumed to ie liia wife. He was throating to strike icr add seemed to be trying to get her n some out-of-the-way street , where nmolested by a citizen ho could carry ut his threat. At the corner of Jryant street and Broadway ho wanted her to go down the former treet. But she was too sharp for lim. lie grabbed hold of her arm nd declared film should go that way r ho would give all she wanted. A mil by the name of Kenno happened tlong and remarked to thu man that ' he dared to strike that woman there u the sheet he should take a hand in ho affair. The wife declared if her lusband didn't let her nlono she vould nlnn him in the face , big as ho was , "Novor tnind his size , madam , " aid Kenno , "nlup him a good one ; I'll ; o you halves. " Between Konnu nnd lin wife the man became quite rucon- iled to the fact that he better let her bun , nnd they walked down quite iciicoablu to their boarding house. At the Grand Army camp fire on ( 'riday evening , Mayor Vaughan , in > chnlf of himself and members of the ity council , in an appropriate speech resented the boys with a splendid , : eel engraving of the battle of Get- yaburg.

That she was in destitute cir- uiiiatancos ; that all she Ind had for month from the county was ono nek nf flour ; that she .muat have uel to keep them warm if the police mated them in the act. 8hu said lint the city had only ono otllcor who lad a heart in him , and that was ilayor Ymiglmn , and his wife was uat like him. , MISOEM.AMOUS !
