All Interested in any way In the well being nnd ncll-dolng of young men In thi city should be present at the meeting in the Presbyterian church this evening , CftJIed for the purpose of taking stops to , organize n Young Men's Christian Associ Cation hero. TJio'clty needs and needs badly a better city building , but there Is no money with which to cecuro one. When a move in niado for one , it should be for n lar o chough ono to do for years to come , based : on'tho , prospect of tbo city having a steady irrowth. t Charles Pruym , secured credit for about $4 worth of board at the old Burlington - lington house , pretending'that ho had 8100 'n the bank , when ho didn't have a nlckle. Ho' then tried to skip , but was brought up ' 'with a sharp turn , and Justice Abbott sent him to jail for alx days , At a meeting of the Phmnlx Hook and Ladder company , the following were elected : Foreman , J. W. Casper ; first assistance , Steve MaiKfie'd ; seconl aieis- tance , James O'Neill ; president , John Bohn ; vice president , C. 15. Lain , secre tary , C. W. Mitchell ; treasurer , George Schindclc. a Judge E , K , Aylesworth has received his commission trom the governor as judge of the superior court , and yesterday opened court In the council chamber. The room is not very convenient In many respects , nnd a jury room is lacking , but H tlieso quarters will probably be occupied until the city can > provide moro suitable : ones. Several of those interested In the pro posed bridge across the river tot foot , wagon and street car purposes , wont to Omaha yoitonlay afternoon to meet 'the representatives of that city. Owing to the excitement in Omaha there wasn it as full a representation as was desired from that city , and nothing definite was decided upon , It wat agreed to hold another i 1 J meeting in this city next Wednesday in t , afternoon. ' Two young men hearing , ai they sup posed , the sound of firing in Omaha , drov * immediately down to the river yesterday afternoon to take a peep across the wattr. They soon noticed that the horse , a valua ble and tpeedy ono , wai sinking In the quicksand , nnd the driver look a quick turn and by keeping the steed lively at work , and by. a most desperate effort suc ceeded in soramblingout ] b-foro It was'too late. It was a close call. ( The new council is puzzling over the C nanclal problem ai shown in yesterday's BKK. There is less than a thousand del < ar against which they can draw war r It Is also figured out on the rough th the resources of the year amounts to about $70,000 and that bills have already been allowed for over ? 80ODf , Just how the council will manage until another tar comes in Is a query , Another bad feature i is that many taxea are being pild In warrants - : rants , which reduces the cosh receipts , The pupils in Misi Flloklner'a room , ) , , in the high school , combine pleasure with "improvement by issuing a psper titled "The Scholar's Catket1 two numbers o ; f which , , edited by Mert Whitney and Kit tie Whitney , have fallen into TIIU BBK'H bands for Inipectlon. The paper * are very neatly written nud are adorne I br skill fully drawn and pleasingly designed head , , _ inu executed with pen and pencil. The tf. papew contain much really readable mat' ter , and are well spiced with humor and / wit. X ' The arrest of Jlin Snodderly for M . laultlng Mrs. Huhbard , as announced in j.yesterday' * BRB , hasi caused much com ment. If Jim could hear nil the opinions expretsed of hltn , ha would conclude thai he had better hang himself. There I Home doubt expressed as to whether prool enough can be obtained to convict Bnod clerly , but if the proof ran be had It wll caure mnch rejo'dng , as lit * isluoked upo ' at too hard a fellow to be allowed to roam about. It Is understood that Saodderly was in company with another fellow when the assault upon Mrs. liubbard was mudr , and that a third per ou afterward * heard a conversation between them which gaveth whole thing away. Mrs. Hubbard recol lects of noticing two men , who came along behind her on the street , but did no ! think about their following her , and th first intimation of anything wrong was i sudden blow on the back of the head , uhlcli made her think she was shot , RII le then eank unconscious.

At the time of the Into election it was generally understood that the mayor and other oflicora were to hold their offices fcr two years. The al dermen drew lots to dotcrminu which of them would hold for one year and which for two years , but there was not a question raised but what the mayor and other oflicors would hold for two ynars. This is now called into question , and it is stoutly assor ted by seine who have carefully ox- nminod Into the matter , that next spring another election will need beheld hold , and that the terms of the pres ent oflicors will then end , making pno year instead of two years o sorvico. and that not until after that time will the terms be two years. The following is the section upon which the claim is laid : Sco. 438. If n majority of the votes cast at such election bo in favor of the abandonment of the charter the council or trustees shall immedi ately call a special election for the election of oflicors for such corpora tion according to its class as defined by this chapter , and from and after the election and qualification of such oflicors the former charier of such city or town shall bo considered as aban doned , and such city or town shall bo considered as organized , and shall have all the rights and bo subject to all the liabilities of the class to which it belongs ; but the oflicors ro elected shall bold their offices only until the next annual municipal election in such city or town. ' It is claimed that this late election was a special election. In Mayor Vaughn's proclamation it is so term ed , and bee an BO it occurred on the day sot for a general election makes it nevertheless a special one. If it is so considered then the oflicors elected at this special election hold only until the next annual municipal election , which would bo next spring. Partic ular stress is laid on the tact thnt this i being a special election the statutes provide that "tho officers so elected h shall hold their offices only until the next annual municipal election. " C City Solicitor Mayne and other at a torneys agree that if the Into election asi is thus considered a special election then Mayor Bowman holds only until the spring of 1883 , one year instead BO of two years , and the other oflicors are BOA likewise to bo lopped off. It is sug Aal gested' , however , that it is possible alT. that the election may bo considered as T.fo general election , and on the ground of the general understanding of the 01n people that it was in effect a general 01 olcotion. If it is treated as a general on election then the officers will hold on"i two years. It is understood that the ai present city oflicors intend to go ar ihoad , on the supposition that they arF bold for two years , and if any one' th hooses to press the question they can th io . ao. st * LAID AT BEST. | IP'P' Befitting Boepocts Shown to tbo Re P'h mains of Coridnctor Ed. L. h Thurber. m ma The death of Conductor Ed. L. tj a Fhurbor , of the 0.13. & Q. road , cast sc gloom over a largo circle of * friends scat this and called forth at city many expressions athi hi pressions of sympathy for those upon him whom the loss falls most , heavily. The in Funeral services were hold Tuesday ov lost , the remains being taken to CUB- tiof ton for interment , that being his ofP' former residence , at Qraooland cem P' etery being the spot chosen by him fa self as his lost' ' resting place. A brief service was first hold at the family residence hero. Bov. Cyrus Hamlin officiated , and a largo number of friends being in attendance. The w remains were then taken to the spec ial train , the mourning family being accompanied by many friends. Five coaches and a Pullman car was placed at the disposal of the relations and friends , and the entire train was heavily draped. It was in the charge of Conductor Snare. The pallbearers were Conductors Starchflold , "Wood , Oove , Hawkins , Ashton' and Titus , Among others were also Conductors Frank Champlin , of the 0. & N , W ; Harry Fox , of the 0. R.

Gilman - man , Yardmnstor of the U. P , There were many citizens and friends who also joined in the sad journey , and on arrival nt Crouton a largo gath ering of citizens were found ossomblud at Hio depot , while railway men from U directions gathered in to show their respect for ono so well known to thorn , and their sorrow at his death. A procession was formed with Con ductor George BASSO OH marshal , and sadly proceeded to the church , where Rev. II , N. WhittloBoy , pastor of the Congregational church , of Cruston , conducted appropriate services , as sisted by Rev. Mr. Blodnatt , the pas tor of the Methodist church , aud Rev. Cyrus Hamlin , of this city , Rev. Jfr. Whittlcsoy preached a touching sermon , and gave a faithful biograph ical sketch of the deceased. Seldom does any event call forth such heartfelt and a general expres sion of and sorrow sympathy as was manifest on this occasion. Among the W most tender and delicate expressions were those given in the language of the flowora. Among those floral trib utes was a design representing n bro ken column , the tribute of General Manager Potter. A largo floral pil low upon which appeared the words "Ed Thurber , our brother. 0. R. 0 , " A conductor's punch formed of cut flowora was the tribute of Messrs. J , W , Bnird , George Ferguson , P. J , McMahon , Wm. Gronoyroy , Bert Evans , N. L Hull , 0. 8. Clark nnd George 0.

Prohibition a Failure. No ono who has closely observed the working of the licouso system , will say it haa boon a most signal suc cess. Ever since the settlement of ' this county it has prevailed ; suf ficient time has , therefore , elapsed to fully test this plan of "suppressing" intemperance. Saloons everywhere all over the land have multiplied. Drunkncss nnd crime have increased. Our largo cities have grown putrid with vice nnd drunkenness With n license law Chicago has four thousand saloons , and Council Bluffs is curaod with , proportionately , as many. Un- dora "judicious"license law how the nefarious bi'nic < s thrives ! Why , our city council seldom have a meeting. , nt which they do not grant the prayer of aoino liumblq. petitioner , Who do- oires to lesson the evils of intemper ance by opening a "respectable sa loon. Lot a business room , in regard to locality , bo vacated , and it is at' once occupied by a saloon , provided the owner wili runt it for suuh a purpose. In fact , they are so numerously sandwiched between respectable business houses on some of- our streets , that n man must "keep his wit a nbout him" to prevent his biundorintr into ono of thorn. Twonty-fiva dollars , paid quarterly , purchases the privilege of carrying on this screen window business. Ohl how cheap are human happiness , hu man lives , human a luls ! Yes , li cense ( is a success But prohibition is sorry failure. It has had only a short trial , but whisky sellers , whisky makers and their supportersjinclud- ing many self styled temperance men , say it is a failure , and it must bo so. Whisky makers and sellers are gener ally very reliable in their assertions. They have n most profound respect for the truth. Before the grand jury 01 in a court of justice , no ono ever suspects them of aver prevaricating when giving jvidonco as to violation of the law "regulating" the sale of liquor. They in ire very conscientious in the obsorv- to toti ince of low humane . and divine. ti For , instance' , because it is unlawful , tidi they are careful no * to sell to minors , di they refuse to'doal out the damning dim stuff on the Sabbath ; they close their m saloons promptly at 11 p. m. ; they m permit' ' ' no Rambling or other unlawful vi practices ' inaido. If a young man wishes to socurp a position with some honorable ( business firm , the first ; man ho asks for a recommendation is saloon-keeper , because ho realizes tbbi ' " " bi the potency'of a "character" from a source. , Bo rthat , 'if the whisky CO th teller and his coadjutor , the "milk- nd-water" temperance > man , Bay pro hibition is a failure , their veracity [ , must not bo questioned ; their state ment bo'accepted.as conclusive. How- 3vor , that the , other pido of the ques 9.A tion may bo brought to the attention A of the reading public , the writer will present ' some facts and statements aidi Favorable to prohibition.

The receipts of the Polk county treasury last year wpre $508,433.01 ; disbursements , $480,015.34 , leaving a balance on hand of $22,418.67. / The loss by the destruction of the Outline county court house will not exceed $15,000 , ' and none of the records were lost. The Iowa legisla ture , learning pf this disaster , passed an act authorising the boird of super visors to appropriate $15,000 for re building the court house. This pre vents a recurrence of the county scat fight , which had Already boon breached - od , for the removal of the court house to Panora. , - Bountiful Crop * I d tUonU Associated tint.

' GONE WILD , A First Wnrd Mother Thinks She Hns Boon Ohloro- . formed , , Another Sod Bflcct or the Late As saults and Robber/Ins. A Danish woman named Mrs. Borgslrom , living on PJattor streol , near Stutsman , called wildly for help last Tuetdny nftornnon , nnd to a neighbor who rushed into her house , she told quito a sensational story about an attempt being made to rob her. She said that a man who was around that afternoon selling knives nnd forks and getting orders for ro- plating had called at her house , and while she was talking with him ho had put something under her nose , which she thought was chloroform. , She ' screamed and the man run , but aho.got enough of the drug to craze hor. She stuck to this story pretty well for a time , and almost convinced thoio tyho heard her that some sort of an assault had ronlly been made upon her , and had shaken up her nerves badly. The woman soon became much wilder , thouuh , and raved , tore her hair , talked nil sorts of nonsense , and badly frightened her three little chil dren , with whom she was alone in the house , her husband being at his work. > She became BO violent that her hus band was sent tor , and ho kept charge of her as best ho could until her case was reported yoatoiday afternoon to the authorities , who took her in. charge. I It appears that Mrs. Borgstrom was once in an asylum , but was discharged 03 cured , and has for some time been in n comparatively healthy mental condition She lately became quito excited ever the assault made upon the wife of Mr. Hubbard , of the Nonpareil , who lives just around tho'corner from her , nnd the Kcefo family who were chloroformed nnd robbed , live still nearer to her. These exciting events coming so near seem to have thrown her mind off its balance , causing her tn become very violent. Her husband is a tailor in humble circumstances , and there nro three children requiring a mother's caro. The case is a sad ono , and is chargeable to the recent outbreak of lawlessness in that vicinity. 111 PERSONAL. | E. A.
