The Baptist church folk have fixed upon Tuesday evening , May 2 , as the dnto of their entertainment , and Dohnny's as the place , Berry's juxcnllo band have provided themselves with new uniforms and expect to appear in them for the first time at the Odd Fellows' anniversary in Omabn next Wednesday. , X The Congregational festival , In their church Friday evening , gave many on op portunity of seeing the improvements and also of helping pay for the same in a happy manner , there being an entertain ment of a pleasing nature. The old hand engine has been fitorcd away &s no longer of any me. Strcotvlllo wanted It located there , so that they anight use it in case of fire , but the powers that bo thought clscwiso , and stored it , so that it will do no gold to any ono. 11 Judge Ay les worth should bounce the Li * alarm clock from the superior court room. It is too much of an alarm clock. It went off the other night about 10 o'clock nnd made such H rattle that it was taken for a telephone fire alarm , and the boys wcro roused from Hlumber to no purposo. The pnblio library is to open this of- tcrnoon , and will hereafter bo open ctory afternoon and evening , for six hours , clos ing at 0 p. in. No book can bo kept out longer than two weeks , and ovcry ono drawing n book hai to sign an agreement to return it in good order , or pay damage * . "Peanut Charley" was reported by Officer Gunnclla as being drunk Saturday night nd fighting on the streets , It is claimcu that ho smashed In the windows of McCarthy's saloon on Upper Broad way , and shot hii revolver rather indiscrimi nately. nately.Tho The base ball season is not tabs ignored hero. An organization has been perfected , officered as follows : Presi dent , J , W. Bairdi Vice President , U A. Troutman ; Secretary , A , W. Aslcwith ; Treasurer , F. S. Pueeyj Manager , Will Bryan , Grounds have boon secured at the corner of Tenth and Seventh avenue. Saturday night was not very favorable lor the show business. The rain which bad fallen all day , the sloppy , muddy con dition of ktrcets and sidewalks , made honio and tbo fireside more tempting. Still there was a fair sized audience to greet Havorly's Strategists nt Dohany's. ' The company is a very good one and the play Is light and pleasing and gives many excused for hearty laughter. The Nonpareil feels sere about having bad the publishing of the council proceed ings abolished. It diminishes the receipts of that ofilce from 81,200 to 81,500 a year , and hence it feels grieved. Ono of its rep resentatives U reported as making the threat that it would now have a man at the meetings to "write up the council" Instead of the proceedings. Its bitterness showed up a little yesterday In its puerile attempt to speak sarcastically of the council as ' 'that wise and august body known as the city council. " This is consistent with the Nonpareil's policy of acting from spite and eolfishnoss , rather than from principle. J. W , Rodlfor has purchased the Test property in tne eastern part of the city , Just south of Falrmount park , and intends making a permanent homo , improving the bouao and the fourorfiyo acres surrounding it , thus making oa fine a piece of residence property as ono could deslro , There is from twenty-five to thirty acres besides , which is included In the purchase , and which Is to be platted and thrown upon the market as residence lots. It will be chris tened Falrmount addition , in view of its ' being adjacent to the park of that name , A number of the lots are already spoken for by parties intending to build bouses , nd others will doubtless follow.

The Campaign on the Prohibition - tion Question Fairly Opened. Organization of Olubs , Speech Making and Musio Along tbo Line , Talk About Organizing n Citizens League For Enforcing the Or dinances. The campaign on the prohibitory amendment , -which fa soon to bo sub mitted to a veto of ttio people , hns fairly opened. The prohibition party at a late mooting in the Broadway Methodist church completed its organ ization and arrangements have ainco boon' made by the executive board to hold mooting ! ! at various pointa in the county , and ono such mooting has already boon hold. Arrangements have also boon made for n rouging mooting at Dolmny's hall to-morrow evening for a full and free discussion of the question and as a sort of open ing fire of the heavy artillery. Short speeches , readings , lively music and other enthusiastic doings are on the programme , and an interesting occasion ia promised to which all are invited , The opponents of the amendment have also opened the campaign in a lively manner. Iholr mooting at Plan * tors' hall Friday evening being well attended. Goortro 11. Wheeler was chosen shairman and John W. Adolf secretory. The situation nan ably sot forth by Robert Pcrcival and John Lindt , after which addresses the "Council Bluffs Anti-Prohibition Club" with about sixty charter mem bers , and the following ofllccrs : Pres ident , Robert llain ; recording secre tory , John W. Adolf ; corresponding secretary , A. Larch ; treasurer , D. Hoist. Calls wore made for John Ahlos , but ho declined to speak. Ex-Mayor Vaughan gave a brief talk , and Alex Obcrt oflorcd $5 for any advocate of the amendment to take the platform. No takers. Adjournment wan then taken until Friday evening , the 28ill , at which titno further arrangements will bo made for tarrying on the campaign. The attention of some of the citi zens has boon called to a different phase of temperance work , which is a happy moan between the no-whisky and the free-whiskey policies. Such n course has boon pursued in Chicago , and has mot with much success. An organization has boon perfected , and is at work actively known as the "Citizens' League. This organiza tion is for the purpose of seeing that the ordinances regarding ! saloons and gambling houses are strictly enforced. Men are kept steadily employed de tecting violations , and seeing that prosecutions are successfully carried am Ono chief purpose of the or ganization in to stop the sale of liquor to minors , and to prevent the boys from lounging about salpons , playing pool , wasting their time , and getting into loaforish and drinking habits. The work thus carried on has mot with good results , there having boon i decrease in the number of boys who frequent saloons , and bartenders are much moro cautious than over as to soiling to persons who are drunk , for they are liable to prosecution for this also. The policy of thin organization Is to have the ordinances strictly enforced - forced , rather than bpond their time and energy 'in working directly for prohibition. This policy is supported in a prac tical way by many citizens. Temperance - anco men , who totally abstain them selves , and who favor prohibitionwill- ingly help along this organization , looking upon it as a stop in the right direction , and though not going so far is they would prefer , yet an a move in favor of law and order they support it. On the other hand , many men , who are not abstainers thomsolvojj , are in favor of having the lawu obeyed , and who do tut want their boys to drink , or lounge about saloons , or who have intemperate friends to whom they do not want drinks sold. Many such men give practical support to the or ganization. For instance , ono brewer , who was informed by the oilicers of the loagu * that his boy was spending his time around saloons , was among the most earnest to have the men who sold him liquor prosecuted if they did not stop. Ho took tbo petition that if Ids boy wanted any boor ho would give him a little at homo , but ho objected earnestly to having the boy drink at bars around town. Such instances nro common , and the support of many men is secured , who would oppose almost any other temperance movement. The plan la worthy of consideration htiro. There are many minors who frequent saloons in this city , drinks are sod to man already very drunk , and no stops are taken to stop the practice. The officers file no informations for thr u violations of the ordinance , iiml if they should , the evidence would usu ally bo found technically deficient. With such an organization , and inon especially for the purpose of detecting offenses and securing evidence , the evils could bo greatly chocked and much bo done toward saving the boys , and preventing drunkenness nmoiif ; these whoso appetites have outrun their judgement and will power , Dt. Anton timlth nays fiTTho Hvnngo- llst : "It eooma to mo that vociferous pray lug la an abomination to God. to angcli , ami to men , ami that dull , llfcleis prayer * are a little \yorsa that ! that.

A convention of delegates of , the Grand Army of the Republic , department of Missouri , as sembled here to-day. Mnj , Wm. Warnpr , pf this city , was elected do- pertinent coinnmridor for ensuing year , A ! urand banquet waa given"to-nl t liouor of the * ' " ' [ n delegates. , V i - -t , . ( l ) j i 't-i , t' tr' a , ( - ! h ' > f > NO DELEGATES WANTED The Proapeotaofa Government Building For Council BlufFa. Another Farcical Chapter In the Pic nic and Excursion Scheme , As has already boon stated in TUP BEE , a ohanpo has been made in the delegates chosen to go on to Washing ton to help along the passage of the bill appropriating money for the erec tion of a government building hero. Instead of "Colonel" Chapman and Mr. Morgan being sent , it has been decided to send Dr. Lawrence and W , C. James , Judge James was in Chicago cage at the time of this last decision , and a telegram was sent him to go on to Washington. On receipt of this telegram ho replied that ho thought it was of no use , and instead of going cast ho started west , and reached homo Saturday. It appears that on the way to Chi- cigo Judge James mot on the train Congressman Hepburn , and they had a long chat together in regard to the bill. Mr. Hepburn explained the sit uation quito fully , IIo stated that about 130 such bills had been in troduced , and that fitly had been reported on formally. Ho feared that the bill for Council Bluffs could not bo reached at this session , It stood about the thirtieth on the list. The only way was to have it taken up un der a suspension of the rules , and this could occur only on the first Mon day of each month. On the first Monday in April there were four bills passed , and on the speaker's list Mr. Mr. Hepburn's name now stands ninth for recognition , and this could not beget got around except by a unanimous consent , which of course could not bo gained. On the next Monday , there fore , there is little talk of Mr. Hepburn's name being reached end it is doubtful whether it will bo on the following chance in June. Congressman Hepburn seemed to think that a delegation could not ac complish anything more , and that all that could bo done was already being done. Ho would , of course , bo glad to have a delegation como on to Washington , but did not speak as though there was much chance for them to do anything of account. After this talk Judge James was rather surprised to receive a telegram from hero urging him to go to Wash ington. After reaching his homo , ho yesterday afternoon telegraphed to Mr. Hepburn repeat ing the query as to whether a delega tion could do any good , and will not start unless ho gets an ullirmativo re ply , which is doubtful. Judge James very sensibly takes the position that ho does not care to go to Washington and spend the people's money unless ho is certain that something can bo accomplished , which to his mind is now very doubtful. ' PICKED BY THE POLICE. Small Offondora at tbo Eotol do Flold. Officer Brooks captured two plain drunks , L. Russell and T , O'Donnell , each of whom wore subjected to the usual fine. George Hill was taken in tow by Oflicoi Gusick for being drunk. James Carroll , arroetod by Officer Sterling as a vagrant , lias boon set at work by the city. 0. 0. Massey , arrested by Officer Sterling for fighting on the streets , put up $5 for his appoaranoo , and disappeared. A Swedish vagrant , sot afc work upon the streets , loft his coat and ti lunch tied up in a dirty handkorshiof at the station. Ho preferred liberty to wardrobe and provender , and skipped , Jbhn Beckley , for allowing prosti tutes and other low characters to lounge about his saloon , will have a hearing to-day. "Cranky Bill , " who has boon dis charged from the larceny case , and roarrustud as a vagrant , will have a hearing to-day before Judge Aylos- worth , . Ho has lately got himself into further troubly by the turning up of a letter alleged to have boon written by him to a "pal,1' which indicates that ho knows much about several no torious Chicago robberies and con fidence games. Ho denies that ho wrote the letter. William Quinlan was on a Saturday night hurrah , and Officer Guanolla ar rested him for disturbing the pcaco. A friend gave security for his appear ance , and early yesterday morning Chief Fields found Quiulan still on the warpath and armed with a re volver , which ho threatened to use. Ho was again locked up on the charge of carrying concealed weapons.

BADLY FRIGHTENED. A Frenchman Thinking nowas to bo Robbed takes a Midnight Run tate tbo Country , Saturday night two Frenchmen who were unable to talk any English , ar rived in this city , having travelled to gether for the last eight months. Eaoli. had sonio money , and they took lodgings nt the California house. YDS- terday morning the younger of the two found that his partner was mica- ing , and inquiring for him. learned that about 10 o'clock at ni ht ho loft Ills room and came down into the oillco , and started out doors saying ho would bo back in a few minutoa. Ho did not roturn.rhowovor , and , his partner waa naturally greatly worried about him , as the hours passed by and nothing won heard of him. Ho reported the case to the police , , and Utod the Aliasing man had about $90 with him in gold , which gave rise lo the supposition lhat ho had been foullydealt with. The police started out on n search , but could find no trace of him until late in the after noon , when the missing man waa brought to the police station , by a man living in the easterly part of the city.Tho The man could talk some Gorman end his story was to the following of- foot : Ho says ho wont to bed about 8 o'clock in the ovoningand was given a room with a talljungamly ook- ing man , Ho was somewhat suspicious and pretended to go lo sleep , end about 10 o'clock the stranger com menced feeling about him , as he sup posed , for the gold which ho had hid den in his bosom. Ho jumped up , put on his clothes , and went down into the office. Ho wns badly frightened , and started out , thinking ho would got some other hotrl to stop in , but was followed by several mpn. who struck him and tried to rob him. Ho got away from them and run as fast as ho could. On reaching Bancroft street , ho hurried back of the Merchants' restaurants , nnd hid his bag of gold In the bank , nnd then run on. Ho never stopped until ho got far out into the country , and stayed there hidden in the brush , so scircd that ho could not sloop. Yesterday forenoon ho wended his way back to the city , and near the outskirts applied at a house for oomo ono who could speak Gorman. Ho was taken to a house a little further along , there found a Gorman , and being able to speak that language somewhat , the Frenchman told his story , and a kindly disposed man brought him down to the station In his buggy. Ho wont to where ho had hiddod his , wealth , and found _ it all secure. The Frenchman was still badly f rich toned j and < VRU in rather a deplorable- condition , having had no sloop or food , and his nerves being badly shaken up , The proprietor of the California house says that all ho knows about it is that the man came dowu from his room nnd said that he was going out for a few minutes , and that ho did not como back in again. How much of : ho attempt at robbery was real , and iow much imagination , is hard to de termine , but to the man himself it was all real , and a worse frightened stranger has not shown up in this city lor years.
