The colored voters lately held a met ing to protest against being Ignored 1 the political parties , and Insisting th they shall be recognized. The republici city convention roaognlred tiio color folks by allowing them a voice and vote the forming of n ticket.

"SHOOK INTO CONGRESS , " An Intereotinpf Interview with One of Garflold's School Boy Friende. Qarilold'8 Supororlty ns n nillo Shot , nnd now It wns Toatod. A gentleman named Mnrcy , who haa boon spending the winter with irionds hero , dropped into THE BER oflico the other day , nnd in the course of talk the nnmo of the martyred Qarfiold ctxrno in. "Well , uir , I'vo known Gnrfiold vcr since I was n boy. I could al- iiost go blindfolded to the very spot vhoro ho was born. Know him ? I liould say BO. It seems strange nough though to hear him called any- liing but 'Jim , ' for us boys Used al- rays to call him BO , oven after ho had ot to bo n inim full grown nnd began 0 get fninouB. Wo wont to school ogothor , nnd I can BOO him now as n choolboy just as plain na I can BOO lie log of that tahlo there. " After chatting over some of the ominisconccs of school lifo Mr. Mary - y hit upon the time when Garfield as nominated for congress. "I'vo just boon reading n lifo of Jnrfiold , and I hnvo to laugh at some f the mistakes and statements made , 'or instance , the book I'vo ' been read- ng tolls about his being unanimously lominatod the first time for con- TC88. Now , it's no such a liing. I was a member myself f the convention , and I toll ou wo balloted over a hundred lines. It was getting after sundown , nd there wore several candidates who teed just about oven , and Uarfiold vas oilo of them. Finally one of lioao who was among the loading ones , man named Ferguson , withdrew hiai amo. Just in front of mo sat n ologato named Merrill. I had boon vorkinij right hard for Gnrfiold , nnd when Ferguson withdrew I did what I ould to muko the break count for Qarfield , and I urged Merrill to cast lis vote for him. Merrill had written 1 ballot for another candidate and was holding it in one hand. I gave lim a Gnrfiold ballot , and ho hold his in the other hand. Ho didn't inrdly know which to vote. As the oiler came around I saw Merrill hosi ate , and loaning over I took hold of ho hand which hold the vote for Gar- iold , and sort of in fun shook it , and 10 lot the ballot drop into the hat. Vhen the vote was counted it was ound that Garfield had just one ma- ority. It1 was on this nomination hat Garfield was first olootod to con gress , and afterwards ho used to laugh nnd toll mo that I shook him into con- gross. " Talking of the sad ending of Gar- iold'o lifo , led Mr , Murcy to recall ho fact that Garfield in his early roars was a wonderful shot , and OB- socially with a riilp. One incident jspecially wna fresh in his mind. He tolls it thus : "Garfiold was then teaching at liram , and I was living at Garrets- villo , a lively little town only a few miles away. Ho was known far and ioar among the young follows as the ) est shot in that part of the country. Chore was a young man named Hi Boochor , who kept a store in Garrets- villo , and ho was himself pretty good m the shoot , nnd ho was , too. He lad got him n now rifle , and had been practicing for months , on purpose tc ; ot ready to bent Garfiold. Ho had a target back of his store , a dm- ; anco of about ton rods , and lie blazed away at this day after day. Ho used a dead-rest , and by steady practice got so that ho could put ilmost every ball inside a bulls-eye as small as a silver quarter. When he thought ho had got himself in * good trim , ho told mo to BOO Jnmos and got liim to como around to the store and shoot with him. James uuod to come down to Garrotsvillo of a Saturday , when there wasn't ' any school , BO the next time I saw him I told him nil about it. I told him tfhat the game was , to got him to shoot at ten rodi and a dead-rest , and that if lie die that way Hi would surely boat him , 'Woll\Baid James'according to ul the rules of war and the code of honor the challenged party has the right tc nnmo tho.uistanco and the weapons I'll BOO to him. " After a while , as II nnd I wore standing in frwnt of thi store , Garfield came along. I hadn' told Hi about seeing him before , am called out to him nnd told him tlm Hi woa getting a little conceited abou being a crack shot , nnd wanted I shoot with him. They wont out bad of the store , and Hi pointed at th target. " Pshaw ) " says Jnmoe "that's no distance to shoot. That' ' too much like boys'play. Lot's mnk it twice as far , anyway.1 Hi objocto Borne , but James told him ho was th challenged party , and hdd the choice nnd they agreed to shoot n the fence , about twenty rod off when they commence to fire , 'Hi was going to use a real 'Oh stand up like a man and shoe off-hand , ' says James This was nt other settler on Hi , but ho had to d it , or back down. Well , they fire BIX ahota a piece , and all of Jamei bullets wore plumped in close togotli ' or , while Hi's wore straggled alon over a string of three foot or BO lone Hi's practice Imd'nt helped him muci ! and lie had to own up boat , I neve shall forgot how Gartield looked as h wont back into the store , nnd puttin on his overcoat , atood for a minut so broad-shouldered nnd manly an his fnco BO good.imturod ashoflinilint y said-'Well Hi , , wherever yo laid yourself getting sort of concoitct just amid for mo to como down ngaii und 111 try to help you got rid of it nnd ho hurried out laughing , to catc the stage to go buck to Hiram. ' -Every sort of a mishap or nccldci that occurs within block a of the corn of Broadway nnd 1'eorl streets is laid J the Nonpareil to the street railway tracl Of course It ii nothing but the petty ou i a boyish spite felt by the a Icgcd editor tow\rd the manager of the street railway , If it Is half an honest in Its dcslro to have the streets In good cnn * dltlon for driving an It pretends to be , It would clear away the old lumber , ash * piles nnd other obstructions which clutter the street alongside of lt own office. The public is Invited to look at the Direct r.ill- wny track and then look at the piles of niMilih placed In the strecti by the Non pareil , SHORT AND SWEET. Such woe the Special Session of the City Patornale. An adjourned special meeting of the city council wns held Wednesday evening , at which there wore present Aid. Fonda , Churchill , Spotmnn , Un- thank , Phillips and Ilnino , the mayor presiding. The session was brief the regular order of business be ing hurried through with no wratiglinga or discussions. A batch of bills wore presented and allowed. Notice was given that in the injunc tion suit began in the district court , three amendments had been filed , making T J. Evans , A. B. Walker and Ohnrlcs Bond plaintiffs in the ac tion against the city. The matter of the condemnation of property , the ownership of which ia claimed by Mr. Short , was reported on adversely to him , and was then re ferred to the city attorney. The report of the committee of the whole , who inspected ; the improve ment in progress on Main street , waa deferred until the next mooting. The announcement was made that the registry list would bo open by Saturday next. The notion of the fire department was confirmed by a unanimous vote , making 0. D. "Voorhis nnd Peter Ryn- kondalo drivers for the Rescue steam er and hose cart , and John Madden driver of the Bluff City hose cnrt , their pay to commence when actual service shall begin. The supervisor wns instructed to attend to several crossings and cul verts needing repairs. A now sidewalk was ordorod'on the west side of Fourth street between Willow nnd Fifth street. Aid. Uthank was authorized to plant a lamp-post on Eighth street at the end of the sidewalk. The question of selling the old hand engine to parties desiring to purchase it was informally talked over and it seemed to bo the unanimous opinion of all that it was best to wait a bit and lot the now council settle the matter. Adjournment was then had until the next regular meeting ono week from to-night. AGE < OQUNTY POLITICS Xi g , Cutting Loose from Council Bluff5 In Congressional Matters. Straddling tbo Prohibition Question Spirits of Prophecy In Demand. Correspondence of the Hoc. GLAIUNDA , Iowa , February 21. Now that the question of the number of representatives in congress Iowa will bo entitled to scorns to bo settled , , ho next stop among our politicians ia the ro-diatricting of Iowa. The state will now bo divided into cloven dis- riots , and as a matter of course will disarrange old district boundaries. The south side of the state wants to bo cut loose from Council Bluffs lost in the scramble for congressional hon ors as a BlulHto might carry oil the prize , leaving Page county's favorite ion only a two-year old and postpon ing the chances of Col. Anderson Smith , McPhowon , J. Y. Stone , L. T. McCann.F. M Davis , Will Laugh- lin , Mr. Rowoll and others who might wear congressional honors with credit to themselves and honor to the state. In order to accommodate the poli ticians of the aouth side , some of the aspirants favor cutting off a ahoo- strine district two counties wide , ox- tondinq from the Missouri river cast- ward half across the Stato. But this shoe-string system of districting hae boon found not altogether satisfactory in other States , and might not work well in Iowa. The next important matter coming before the public is the temperance amendment to the constitution of the State. Many of the people are striv ing to loam in advance which will be the popular aide of the question , , and none are more careful of ox. pressing opinions on this subject than local politicians. In Page county we have eight llopublicau newspapers , bul of those only two can yet bo counted ir favor of the amendment. The coun ty seat has four papers The Journal , which has a pair of editors who respectively spoctivoly take difloront sides of tin question ; The Democrat , which op nosoa the amendment at every stage The Daily Star , which is openly in fa vorof the amendment , ami The Ior ] aid , the oldest paper in the county whoso editor is whistlinpr , while pass ing through the graveyard of doubt , t < keep his courage up , and alternate ! ] quotes from the different sides , am seoniB to bo praying "Good Lord , gooi devil , ' not being certain whoso Immli ho will full in , and wishing to kooi friends with both sides , and stands i good chance to lese friends instead o ! gaining. Party wire-pullers are also at a los ; to know how to moot the question , a the democrats ate not all in favor o the amendment , nor republicans al opposed to it. Many a politiciai would give much to bo blessed witl the spirit of prophecy , so as to discus what will bo the prodominont thoor in years to como. St. Valentino's day waa proporl' observed , and many wore the quid jokes played upon each other by the fun loving youngsters of our city. The small pox scare has nhnbst en tirely abated. No now cases hnvo been reported for some time past , but it must bo confessed the disease was terribly fatal in the families a filleted with it. Brother J. W. Chadiin has been homo for n few days arranging his business preparatory to removing to Council Bluffs. Ho and his partner , S. D , Street , Esq. , will in a few days commence the publication of Tha Council Bluffs Weekly Herald , and his many friends here are pleased to know that his enterprise is starting out under very favorable auspices. Mr. 0. will publish a good , live re publican paper , and having located in ono of the livicst cities in the state , his opportunities for serving the pub lic well ns a journalist will now bo bettor than over before. Very many of the old patrons of The Clarindn Herald nnd his neighbors in our city rcgrpt to BCO us , but wish him success in hin now paper and now homo. Railroad matters are voryquiot , but the contractors use all the good weath er nnd ftomo of the bad in hurrying on the work on the II. it S. railroad , which , when completed , will bring you much nearer to us than now. When the II. & S. begins to carry mail over this route wo hope to receive - coivo THE BKH by eight o'clock a. m. each morning. TIIHJBE. IOWA ITEMS. The mining product of Dubuque county last year was § 34,000. The colored people of Corning are determined to have a church of their own. s The salary of Burlington aldermen is $1 for each meeting , and not to ox- oed $50 per annum. The Brighton National bank haa lurrondored its charter , and will run icroaftor as a private banking house. The board of directors of the agri- ultutal society of Louisa county has ppropriatcd $100 to encourage nn ducationnl exhibition nt their coun- V fair , which will bo held September 2th. 2th.Tho The Second Iowa cavalry will hold reunion in Davenport Juno 13 , 14 ind 15 , provided the surviving mem- > era so desire.

" The bonded debt of Cedar Rapids s now $33,000 , and the floating debt about S8,000. The receipts of the city taxes have been about $9,000. The total debt ot the city of all kinds at the time of Bottle- nont next 'month , will probably bo not over $30,000. The 'total indebtedness of Marshall a $55,000 , which debt is part of the costof the water-works , which the city own and are valued at $200,000 , and out of which the city derives a revenue now of $1,000 more than the cost of maintenance per annum , with out any cost of fire protection. Hiram Van Raden , a Gorman farm er , living five miles northeast of Car roll , was found dead in his bed last Sunday afternoon. A package or poinonous preparation , labeled , "Rough onHats , , " was found near the bed , opened , and n part of its con tents gone , the means of the unfor tunate man's death. There is some question aa to whether it was a case of murder or suicide , though it ia be lieved it is the latter. A newly married couple indulged in a wedding tour from Maynard to Quasquetou , and the bridegroom , who waa not exactly a temperance fanatic , took so much wine nnd other stimu lants for his stomach's sake as to fort - t the respect that was duo his wife , nnd ho conducted himself in such an outrageous manner that she became alarmed , nnd loft the buggy , leaving her lord to pursue his lonely way to Quasquoton. She has gone homo to her father , and the young man , at last accounts , had sobered completely and was unsuccessfully trying to persuade suado hia wife to como and live with him.
