The Blulf City mapqwernilo on Mon day evening Is nmong'tlie coming events not to be forgotten. The Chicago &Northwestcncompany : has paid into Treasurer Bennett' * office SC , * > 00 of taves. , The question of a wagon hrldgc across tlio river is to be talked over this nftcr. noon at the board of trade rooms. A Sioux City salooulet , for felling liquor to Indian ? , was placed In jnll here Thursday night to wait for trial. The wonderful clock ixt Turner hnll is to bo rallied off this evening nnd Mayor Vnughan will address the crowd. A pleasant party was given Thursday otcningbyMi. and Mrs. Tliomni Jcf- fen's , In honor of the daughter from Den ver. The democratic primaries arc cilled for this evening , and the convention set for next Tuesday afternoon at the court h ousc. Mr. Kibble , the father of Mrs. A. T. Klce , died Thursday evening , and his re mains ucro taken to Wisconsin yesterday for interment , The Land League ball given Thurs day evening was largely attended , and teemed to bo enjoyed heartily by thosn who participated , The siilewalkH and streets were covered with sleet yesterday , making travel by foot or team sllppcryand [ uncer 'u ' tain. There were many tumbles , and folks would laugh at the nnfortunatoa very heartily. ( ' Those who were mixed up In the row 1.1 at Anderson's saloon appeared before Ue- . corJer Butko yesterday and gave bonds for their appearance on Monday next , when on attempt will be made to unravel the mysteries of the fray. The grand encampment of the Grand Army of the Republic Is to bo held In Des Molncs on the 23d Imt. E. J. Abbott and J. J. Bolln are the duly elected dele gates from this city and expect to attend. One or two others expect to accompany them. f - In the circuit court yesterday the case of Kurtz vs. the Kansas City & Council Bluffs railway was still on trial. In the second case of Kalsor against the same road the jury brought In a verdict in favor of the defendant , the other suit being In favor of the plaintiff. This make ) honors easy between. The chronic thief , Crowell , vras pic 1 ? * tured out in a new role at Vauglmn'n meeting Thursday evening. The mayor pathetically pictured a man running down Broadway with a sack of flour in his arms , as an instance of what poor men would do when not given work and hun gering for food. The man was Crowell , tlieconGrmed sneak thief. It was too ri diculous to have him pictured as a starv ing workiogman , otherwise it inlpht ha considered an Insult to class him wlthhon- cut people who earn their living. Justice Abbott yesterday Issued war rants for the arrest of Charles Graves , George Gerspacher , J. Walton , Ed. Bates and Ed. 1'hilllps , charging them with as sault with Intent to kill , they being the Homo parties engaged In the rumpus at Anderson's saloon , in which a Swede was shot in the leg and others Injured. The accused were brought in and gave ball In the sum of $200 each to appear on the 25tb hut. Charges of disorderly conduct are lodged against thorn also , nnd these cases ome up before Recorder Smith on Mon day. The case against A. C. Dowdy for selling liquor without a license has been I continued until Monday next before Recorder Burke. Dowdy applied for a license , and the council ordered the re corder to give him one , but before Dowdy could get around to hand In the necessary money and take the license , some of the neighbors who did not want a saloon there , got an Injunction restraining the l recorder from giving him the document. He has kept on elllng , nnd the question is raited whether the council has nqt really given permit to do so , thus ban ing the city from prosecuting him for selling Vaughan and hl henchmen have cun ningly sought to make the political isaue "Improvement ornolmprovemcnt. " Those who arc not for him are against Improve * meat. This attempt to make the people believe that he is the only one In favor ol improvements is a strained one. The great majority oi the people hero are in favor of Improvement , judicially mode and energetically pushed , and among this great majority , it la buely possible that Home other man can be found who will w'rve ' as mayor. The attempt to thus raise A false Issue , and tide into power on the top waye of the popular desire for im provements , it altogether too plain a ruie , and thoughtful voters will not be caughl by such chaff. Pbe committee appointed Thursday nlfiht at the Vaughan meeting , to make up a city ticket after the meeting and nominating Vaughan , adjourned unti yesterday morning to complete the noinl nations. They concluded nut to do it and took another adjournment until Men day morning. This way of making noinl nations will not meet with favor nmojit many. The committee- virtually ap pointed themselver , and they propose to bold a convention all to themselves. The charge that worklngmen do not read the papers is about on a par with the Inslnua- Atlon that thity are not Intelligent enough to hold primaries or conventions and noml- ate their own candidates. Thoughtful worklngmen will hardly rel'eh this kind yt > l treatment , VAUGHAN'S VAGARIES. Some of the "BuR-Dust" Thrown by Him in the Eyoa of the Workingmon. A Cheeky Way of Securing a Nomination Per Mayor. The Mayor Mnkos Some Good Points With Much Tally nnd Many Misstatomonts. The call for n mooting at the court house , to bo addressed by Mayor Vauglmn , drew together alar o crowd Thursday night , some going because thayuoro pots nnd admirers of "littlo Vauuhny , " as lie delights to bo termed , nnd many K"i"H horn curiosity. Mr. M. 0. Grillin waa chosen as chairman , and accepted in n nent littlu speech. There waa more difliculty in securing a secretary. Phil Armor was named but declined , as did also O. P. Wick- ham. At last Luke James was chosen and accepted. The call of the moot ing was road , it purporting to be from the workingmen , who desired Mayor Vauxhan to explain to them why the election came in March instead of in April , and what officers were to bu elected , etc. , etc. The mayor was called for nnd appeared laden with documents and books. 11 o opened by an onslaught on these who thought this meeting was ono of "Vaughny's schemes. " Ho proposed to give them facts which the workingmen mon were entitled to know about , nnd which the newspapers did not give , and in fact many of these criticising the mooting were ignorant about. Ho denied that there was any political clap-trap about the meeting , and was not going to force himself on the city as its mayor. Ho did not sock the honors , nor did ho shirk thorn , but ho was not going to turn his back upon the city now that it was on the boom. Ho had gathered up facts from other cities , showing that this city was being run very economically in comparison. Ho cited Atchison , Kan sas , as a city of seven or eight thous and people , whoso bonded indebted ness was § 2,000,000 , its pflicors'sal aries nearly § 5,000 , nnd its expendi tures 848,702 , a very little loss than Ihis city expended. Ho spoke of Mar- shnlltuwn as a small place , the police costing § 3,000 annually and the streets $25,002. Prom Sioux City ho quoted the item of $718 paid for relief in Buffering caused by floods , nearly as much as Council Bluffs. He termed the city as ono of 4,000 or 5,000 in- hsbitanta , and the expenditures on streets had boon over $24,000. Dav enport was also cited as a little town , in which the assessed valuation was 85,084,000. Omaha waa stated as as- sossnd $5,800,000 , and haying twelve pplicomon. St. Joseph's total oxpon-i ditures wore stated at $87,400. Kan sas City's bonded dept was reported as $1,343,000. Burlington's popula tion was cited at from 20,000 to 22- 000 people and its liabiliticB$521,000 In comparison with these waa placed this city , its salaries amounting to$2G27 , and its total expense of $55- 000 , or a little more than Sioux City and Marahnlltown. This showing might have boon of some value if the facts had only boon given as they really exist , bu * the speaker who had so much to say against the newspapers for not stating the facts as they exist clearly misled his hearers. In the first place ho understated the amount of expendi tures inthis city as is known by nil. Ho placed thorn at about $55,000. Iho record shows that thorohavo boon $07,000 worth of bills allowed up to February 1st ton months' bills , nnd not for n full year , as in the cases of the cities citoa. In professing to give information to the workingmen ho should have stated the facts. In regard to Mnrshalltown ho stated that the police cost there $3,000 and that $25,002 was expended on the streets. The reports show that for about ton months , the police cost only $1,752 , and that the streets and ulloys cost only $11,253. Such is a fair sample of the way "information" is given the workingmen by the mayor in response to the request. The statements regarding Sioux City were about as far out of the way. The speaker , who so kindly complied with the workwomen's request for in formation , told them that it was n city of from 4,000 to 5,000 people , and that it expended on its streets over $24,000. Ho made those state ments as being the substance of facts given him by the mayor of that city , Mayor Smith , of that city , has sent to THE BEE a copy of the statement made by him to Mayor Vaughan , in which ho says that "tho sum total of all our expanses from the 1st of April to the 1st of February is/$15,180 , " and that the population of that city is between 10,000 and 11,000. In this same statement of which the mayor pretended to base his statements in talking to the workingnmn , it appears that this $15.180 includes expendi tures for an artesian well and for re lieving flood Bufforcra , BO that "tho actual amount expended for current expenses and improvements for the ton months was $13,908. " Place beside - side this the speaker's ' statement that over $24,000 was expended on streets alone and it becomes , evident how ac curate was the "information" which ho pretended to give , and which ho claimed the papers could not or would not giyo. The sneaker throw into his remarks some valuable informatioh concerning the election , as to what oftlcora were to bo elected , the time of opening and closing the polls , and the matter con tained in the official proclamation , al ready published. Ho urged that the improvements of the city should be kept up , nnd that an enthusiastic , liberal policy should bo followed , by which the city would bo kept on the boom. lie gave some hard thumps to these who objected to being taxed , and claimed that some of the richest men in the city were being taxed much less in proportion tlinii the workingmon. In this connection lie alluded frequently to ono workingman - man , who had paid $100 for a homo , nnd it was assessed at $375 , and cited him time nnd again as an example of the men who ronlly pay the tnxcs , while the rich men were kicking. There is no doubt about there being sonic truth In what the speaker said upon the uiidcr-tnxntion of the rich nnd tlm over-taxation of the poor , but his example was an unfortunate ono for him to select. The man whom ho thus hold up as an example has already begun kicking against his as sessment , and with much apparent justice. Mayor Vaughan himself spoke in a recant council meeting , urging some action to lessen that man's taxes , and calling attention tote to the man's cause of complaint. In addressing the workingmen , however , and giving the "information desired , " ho cited this man us in strange con trast with the tax-payers who kick. The mayor throw into his talk much oi what ho termed "but ; dust , " and which ho said the press would pay moro attention to than the real facts which oo gave. Ho announced him self a candidate for mayor , said ho had § 25,000 worth of property , showed his tax receipts , footing up $150 , told nbout putting in his own time nnd that of a horse in the city's service , and that ha bought his own hard coal , otc. Ho had boon told to stop and think before going ahead with improvements. Ho aid not want to stop and think. Ho aaid iifo was too short. Ho had done a great deal to advertise the city , had got the excursion party of aailway men to pass resolutions advertising the city as n big railway center , had prepared a big pulF of the city for the United States census , had caused a denial of the small pox scare to bo published in 35,000 papers of the country , etc. , etc. etc.Such Such items were thrown in paren thetically in connection with the graver nnd moro important subjects. His earnest words about pushing for ward improvements and making the city one in fact ns well as in name , when sifted a ut from the small feed with which they were mixed , would receive endorsement from wido-awako , enterprising citizens , who want to BOO the cily grow , but the impression was evidently sought to bo made that Vaughan ns mayor was the only moans of getting such growth and improve ments. At the close of the speech a com mittee , consisting of David Jorman , H. G. Grail , 0. Rape , Charles Sears and F. Dal ton , was appointed tomako up a ticket for the city election. They mot after the adjournment of the mooting and nominated Vaughan for mayor. A FAROE. That Is What the Investigations Against tbo Police Amounts to. The special committee appointed by the council consisting of Alder men Spotman , Keller and Raino , to investigate the charges made against Fields , concluded by their labors yes- torday. The day previous the chief amTMax Mahn appeared before them , and told the same as they have already told concerning the arrest and release young Stockdalo , who was found con cealed in Malm's bedroom , intent on robbery. They have both denied time nnd again the charge that Stock- dale's father paid a monpy considera tion moro than sufliciont to cover Mahn'a previous losses by robbery , and this was the reason why no in formation was filed. The witnesses were in fact both for the defense , and no witnesses appeared for the proso- cticfon to support the charges. Col. Koatfoy , who had publicly made and reiterated the charges , and coupled other grave charges against the police was with thorn notified to ap pear , but failed to do BO. Yesterday a subpcena was issued by the committee - too and served upon him. Ho en dorsed upon the back of the same a reply in substance that as soon as the committee was empowered to sub- pcuna witnossc.s and compel their at tendance , ho would comply and not before. A subptuna was also issued for Mr. Gollnor , who has boon named as a 'witnofls who know about the Stockdalo matter. He failed to ap pear , and the committee could do nothing but close their proceedings , and exonerate the chief from the charges , City Attorney Holmes being - ing empowered to draw up the report to the council. The investigation is a decidedly un satisfactory one , as it nas not brought accuser and accused face to face. The committee could do no. moro than re quest these who made the charges to back them up and ns they stood upon a quibble and refused to appear there remained only to hoar the voluntary denial of the accused , and read the only verdict possible ono of exonera tion. tion.As As far us the public is concerned the matter rests just where it did be fore the investigation , except that the force of the charges has boon broken by the fact these who pretend to know damaging facts decline to appear and face the committeo. In this respect the chief has gained n point , but the work of the committee has thrown no now light upon the matter and shown up no now facts. FISH CULTURE. Proffroea of Thla Great Undertaking In Iowa. Dei Molira ! Dltjutcli to The Chicago Tribune. State Fish Commissioner Shaw has been in the city for several days look ing after the interests of the fish hatching house of the state and to as certain the temper of legislators to ward the system , Ho is a decided enthusiast on fish culture , and a most prodigious worker. Very few men would have accomplished so much as ho has with the limited moans at his command. When the subject of fish culture was first brought before the legislature it was received witli de rision , and Dixon , of Wapolio , who introduced the measure in the house , was derisively charged with concoct ing a Bchomo to supply Oltumwn with suckers at the expense of the state , lint the fact.i nnd his inexorable logic overcame the earplugs of Iho ignorant , nnd the system was in- nugurntcd with a mere pittance granted to got it started , under the supposition that it would die out nu n nine days' ' wonder , or a mere chimera of no practical utility. Mr. Shaw , under most adverse circum stances , went on nnd started n hatch ing housci at Anamosn on r ( small stream supplied from springs of pure water. His success has been remark able , and in the meantime the people have learned much of the importance of the work , Ponds nnd streams bar ren of fish have been abundantly stocked with fish , Lakes have boon cuppliod with valuable kinds not be fore known. Each fall since 1870 ho hns gathered from the sloughs along the Mississippi , which were drying up , immense quantities of black nnd striped bnss , wnll-oycd pike , crappies , sunliali , catfish , eel , nnd other kinds , and transported them to interior waters of the state. Over 5,000,000 fish have been thus distributed , and if one in ton of them should roach the weight of 2.\ \ pounds each it would give a weight of G2u torn. Fish from this planting are now being caught in abundance where none were known before , which proves they have become established. To this has also been added the breeding of fish at the hatching-house , where Califor nia salmon , brook trout , shad , white fish , lake trout , nnd col have been propagated and distributed over the state by the million. In Northern Iowa were found several streams most admirably adapted to brook trout. They were stocked , and last year trout were caught from them weighing two nnd three pounds each. No trout was ever aeon in these streams before these planted by the stato. In 1876- 77 a largo number of silver bass were put in Spirit Lake Last fall they wore ; caught in lar.jo numbers by fishermen with hook and line , show ing that this valuable game fish has done well. The last legislature made provision for an additional hatching house at Spirit Lake , where those kinds of fish adapted to largo lakes could bo propa gated , thus avoiding the danger and risk of transportion. January 15 , 1881 , there was received at thib house 500,000 whitefish eggs , which were hatched with n total loss of less than 3,000. The same winter was hatched there 200,000 Lake Superior trout eggs. These wore all put into Spirit Lake and Okiboji Lake , two largo lakes in Dickinson county , connected by a narrow isthmus. During the last year the commis sioner has given much attention to the Gorman carp. He considers it the coming food fish in Iowa , which will supplant all others , and that in the not far distant future more attention will bo given to its cultivation than is now given to the domestic fowl ; for , said ho , it bears the same relation to other fish that'tho .domestic fowl does to other birds. Tlit-rc are three kinds of carp the leather oi scaleless , the minor , and the scale. The first is deemed the best , and it is this variety which has been selected for Iowa. They are voracious eaters , hardy and prolific , while they are considered equal to any fish for food known ex cept trout. They feed on cooked po tatoes , cabbage , lettuce , parsley , woods , waste meat , garbage from the kitchen , malt , and nearly all kinds of cooked grain. They are in season for eating from October to April. They will endure the heat in water which most other fish could not , while in ex treme cold weather in winter they go to deep water and burrow into the mud , head down , until only their tnils can bo seen , packing themselves close to gether in groups of a dozen. A carp pond should have muddy bottomwell supplied with plants , eight feet deep in the deepest portion , and shallow at the shore. If for breeding purposes , it should bo so arranged so it can bo drained. No other fish should be per mitted therein , as the carp is exceed ingly timid , and a very small fish even a minnow two inches long would worry n five-pound carp to death. The presence of aquatic plants in a carp pond is necessary , as the fish feed largely on the parasites which attach to the plants , and also attach their eggs to these plants. Being vegeta rians and feeding on food not sought by carnivorous fish , they will grow and thrive in ponds and streams where other fish abound , while their prolific breeding habits will furnish immense additional food for bass and other car nivorous fish.
