The question of the city printing has been agitated by Tim BEE , it being ing the only paper here which has thus far dared peep upon tin nutter , and the only paper that has given the public the facts to which it is entitled. At the meeting of the city council Tuesday evening another discussion was had concerning it , it being called up by a bill of The Nonpareil , calling for $121.05 for printing done in March , The bill had been presented once before , but not being properly certified to , it was sent back. Lost night it appeared again with a recom mendation from Auditor Burke that it bo paid The fact waa elicited that the auditor was at homo sick , and had liad no opportunity to verify the bill by comparing it item by item. The a\zo \ ol the bill rather astonished thu aldermen , nnd the items wore read ono by one and diocusaed , and then referred to. the committee on printing. There wore several interesting items in the bill , among which wore those for publishing thu oflicial proceeding/ ! of the council nt fifteen cents a equaru , which gave rise lo n Kcticr.il talk to -ho clftict that this expenditure ought n the future to bn cut oil entirely , 'or the reasons given in Tin : DEB yet.- ; crday. Aid. Kowoll announced that ho committee on printing was in cor respondence with other cities and would noon have some facts nnd fig ures , which would show how their muting bills compared with those of this city. Attention was also called to a notice signed by Chief Fields warning citi zens to clear up the alloys nnd not to hrow rubbish in the streets. This notice of six lines , printed in the Kon- ureil , was charged in the bill at 510.80. Tlicro was no necessity for ho notice in the first place , vns the city is not supposed to bo cxpondng nonoy warning citizens not to violate ta long established ordinances. Fur- ' her than that the notice was printed eng after the paper was told to take t out. Some talk was had informally as to whether the council could not have omothing to say about how long pro clamations of the mayor should bo published. It was stated that the > reclamation the last two years cost ? GOO. It was shown that some procla mations had been published thirty imes , when required by law to bu ) tiblished once n week for four weeks , i'ho city has had to pay for this and it a now proposed to stop this foolish ness. ness.Another Another interesting incident arose. AB has already been stated in THK JEK , a sealed envelope had been hand ed in to the council purporting to con tain i > sworn statement showing the circulation of The Nonpareil in this city. The envelope was presented the evening before on condition that it should not be opened except under pledge of secrecy. The council re jected this , nnd the restriction was partially withdrawn at the last meet ing , the council being , however , re quested not "to post it about" nnd make it public. The envelope was opened and contained what purported .o bo t lion worn statement of the book keeper of The Nonpareil , that to his "best knowledge nnd belief" the cir culation of The Nonpareil was ono thousand. It was referred to the committco on printing. The "sworn statement" cunningly avoids stating how many actual sub scribers 'Jho Nonpareil has. Any publisher , capable of charging the city such bills , could run ofl' enough extra copies one morning to make n thous and papers "circulated , " on the par ticular day on which the statement was nwtlo , but The Nonpareil cannot , nnd with all its cheek , dare not , pre sent n sworn statement that its bona "ido circulation has averaged for n uonth 1,000 papers. It is understood that the previous csolutions are to bo rescinded , and lint the printing of proceedings is to jo done away with , and that the pub- inning of ordinances , etc , , will bo lot p the lowest bidder , irrespective of simulation. If this change is made , it will revolutionize all previous cus- oms. Ono thing is certain , the tax ? ayers are tired ot giving charity to iapera which have not enough vim to ive without it. BADLY BEATEN. Al.tttjo Four-Year-Old Is Thumped Ulnole and Blue by Anna Henry , Yesterday complaint was made against Anne Henry , n well known woman of the town , for boating un mercifully a little follow named Willie Simpson. It appears that Willie is only four years of ago and his mother who is said to bo of easy virtue , left him nt Anna Henry's while she proceeded - ceoded westward. A few days ago the mother sent Anna Henry about 840 to have the child sent to her , but for come reason she failed to do so. It waa ascertained yesterday that for some trivial offense on the part of the child , the woman boat him un Jiorci- fully , there being hardly a spot on hi * little body but what bore the marks of the brutality. The child wna nt once taken from the don in which ho was thus used , aud being provided with now clothes by the superintend- out of the poor , was given into the charge oi a worthy family living a short distance in the country , who have no children of their own , anc who seem willing to adopt the little follow. A warrant was issued for Anna Henry , and the will bo called on to answer to the charge of bru tality , PLEASURE PARTY.

Knch Property Owner to Pay For What Is Done In Front of His Own Lots Some time ago TUB BEE made pub Ho the fact that some of the citizens desired n change in the mode of rais ing money for street improvements , by which those desiring streets graded or paved could have them done by n special assessment on the property bone fit ted rather than by n payment out of the general fund. The agita tion of the matter has resulted in call ing the attention of the council to it , nnd the aldermen hnvo been giving it some thought. As n result the council has instructed the city attorney and judiciary committee to prepare nn ordinance , providing for aVrcet improvement be ing thus made , nnd it will doubtless be presented nt nn early dny. The change is n most important one , nnd will naturally cause much dis cussion. Heretofore when n street has boon tilled , or a side walk filled up to grade , or any improvement of that kind needed , the city has paid for the came out of the general fund , thus letting the burden fall alike on all tax payers , whether directly beno- fitted or not. It ia urged in support of the change that those whoso prop erty is directly benefited by uuch im provement should be willing to pay for them , and that is unjust for those whose property lies at u distance , to lielp pay for work which simply in creases thn vnluo of some other prop erty. It is further urged that many more improvements will bu made. The residents on any street will not need , ' o wait until thcro is money in the general fund , or until the council ihoosRS to order work done , but can jy securing a majority to a petition , iavo the improvement go on and ; ho 'cost ( axed to the property whoso vnluo is thus increased. An illushv.tio.i ia given. Ono man 3Uya n wntury lot , nt an equally low nnd watery price. It is hardly fair 'or the city nt largo to p.iy for im- tfovomonta to make this a valuable ot } and lot him have the benefit of the rise in valuation thereby. There is also n question of present expediency. There nro a number of persons who are nnxious to got the sidewalks filled up to grade. In some cases the street has been filled , the lots have been filled and the sidewalk eft low , making almost a ditch , and in some cases being unsafe and ; ivin < r liability to suits for damage. The city has no money to fill these sidewalks to grade. If the now ordi- lance is passed they will bo obliged o do EO at their own expense , and the city will bo relieved of a big burden. There will bo some objections and n-otcsts. Some of these property owners just referred to will doom it unjust to have to pay for filling the sidewalks in front of their houses , after having paid their share of taxes 'or filling in sidewalks in which they tad no interest. The oildet to this is ho fact they will hereafter bo free from having to pay toward other im provements which do not concern them immediately. At present it may seem n hardship , but in the long run it will not prove so , nn immunity from taxation for the benefit of other property will in the course of yearn prove no slight relief. Such are some of the reasons urged For the change , but the chief rcuson presented is that it will relieve the city of n great burden. The tax for general purposes is limited at ten nilla , nnd this will notaufiico to mnko needed impioyuuonts. Under the change , if any improvement is wanted the ovvnor of the property immediate ly concerned can hive it , und as they will got repairs by increased valuation ; hey can ntlord te pay for it , and , liono who are not getting any benefit will bo relieved from bearing the bur den. The city will find itself in po- aession of necosawy means for repairs nnd for the expenses which naturally fall to it. Not Cunning1 Enough. Hon. Eli Clayton's name was yes terday brought forward , as promi nently as the Nonpareil could brintr it forward , as a worthy person to rep resent this district in congress. Many , oven among those who might prefer some other man for congress , will join hoattily in all the praise bestowed on this worthy man , but the Nonpareil is , as usual , consistent only in its own inconsistency. Not long ago the Nonpareil abused this srmo gentle man as severely ns its puny strength permitted , and why'/ / Because Mr. Clnjton , as chairman of the board of county supervisors , objected to the Nonpareil charging nil uorta of fancy prices for public printing , and un earthed its greed as the present coun cil is now doing in regard to the city printing. Now the Nonpareil urges him for congress , and has tlmchuokto say that "it does so in no spirit of in sincerity. " The Nonpnroil cannot hoodwink the public na pasily as it thinks. The sudden Hoiaeraault lini a reason , nnd the renoon ia plain. It thinks that by dividing up the oppo sition into factions , icc.vn draw away strength from Hon. W. P. Sapp , whom it hates bitterly , and can cause not only his defeat , but that of Mr. Clayton and others , andean thus manage ago to run in some pet candidate of its own. The animus of the whole mnttor ia shown by its frequent side- ulaps nt Mr. Sapp as "a demagogue" nnd "a " self-constituted candidate , The dny is past when The Nonpareil can thus garb its trickery under the declaration that it ncta "in no spirit of insincerity , " without being unmasked. An one key to the situation , and us a very probable cause for the appear- anne of the editorial referred to , it is well to note that umong the "person als" in the game issue appeared the fact that "Mayor" A. R. Anderson was in the city. The "Major" nnd "Col. " Chapman were in consultation in the evening. The former } ms an itching for the honors. Did lie fur nish the plan of the farce , and did the laltir try to play HI ' Perhap. " A MODEL STABLE. Some of the Improvements Mode by Mason Wise , the Liveryman. . In his joumcyings about yesterday , a BEK reporter dropped in nt Mason Wise's livery , feed and sale stable , and cast nn eye over the improve ments which hnvo been made. The old buildings nro quite upacioua , well arranged , nnd the stock excellent and well kept , but ilr. Wise not content with his former accommodations , has built a largo brick stnblo 33 by 100 feet in extent. Below nro stalls nnd other conveniences for the proper care of horses , and above is a loft so spacious that fifty-Bovcn tons of hay can bo stowed nwny there nt ono time. A well has been sunk , furnishing an abundnnt supply of excellent water , and there is nothing wanting in ntiy of the appointments nnd conveniences of n first class stable. The accommo dations as thus enlarged , nro ample for caring for ono hundred nnd fifty horses , making ono of the largest and best fitted establishments for livery , board nnd sale business in the whole west. Between the now stable nnd the j other , ia a Inrgo ynrd , where THE BUB ] reporter spied a numerous army "of | kickers. " There were nbout forty mules enjoying life hero , nnd they seemed happy , as they on ht to be , for abundance of feed nnd wnter was nt their disposal , the nrrnngo'nonts for dealing it out to them being per fect. Mr. Wise has bought and sold a great many mules , and those spied there yesterday wore certainly ex cellent onca in bizo nnd build as to easily acohtmt for the tready sales which Mr.vViso moots with. The stablca and sheds now form a complete horse shoo , with two en trances on Scott street , near Brand- way , this being in a most convenient tocatian. Within the horse shoo of buildings is the ynrd. A more com plete and convenient establishment 33uld not bo planned our , nnd the en terprise shown by Mr. Wise , together with his long experience ntid long ac quaintanceship , entitles him to the success which ho is winning. The attention of THK BEE reporter w.is called to handsome turnout which makes its headquarters nt Wise's , and which ia owned by Senator George T. Wright. The team is n pair of hand some brown horses , fine steppers , well built and nicely matched. Mr. Wright purchased them of Mr. Wise for $500. i'ho covered bugo-y is ono of Hntton- lauor'o best , and with a fine harness , the turnout is ono equal to any in this part of the country. A GOOD MAN GONE. A man went astray nnd allowed linmelf to bo induced to buy a pair of shoddy shoes. The doctors disagreed ; ono said it was lock jaw , and three said the sheet iron counters , pine board insoles and rusty nails in his shoes produced the fatal disease , which shall bo nameless here ; ( wa don't know how to spell it and only a doctor can pronounce it ) but- the moral is , buy honest made shoes , if ; hey do cost a few cents more per > air , and live long and comfortable. JUT boots and shoes are the best wo can got made. It X. T. LiNiJSEtf & Co. COUNCIL BLUFFS SPECIAL NOTICES. NOTICE.
