The Young Men's Christian associa tion Is trying to arrange for a lecture hero at an early date by General Howard. The circus paste brigade was yostor. day adorning the bill boards with the glowing announcement that the only and original is to bo hero on the 19th , The mock trial so often announced and aa often postponed by the Y. M , 0. A. , Is now docketed for next Mon day evening at the rooms of the asso ciation. The ofHotal order has gone forth that the largo old building owned by John Danforth , nearly opposite Jus tice Yanghan's residence la to be moved. The papers wore filed yoaterday by which Margaret Boulder soeka to get a divorce from Joseph P. Boulder , her husband , she claiming that ho has deserted her. Mayor Bowman has appointed to the police force James Mullen , who has lived here aorao tlmo and who has a wide acquaintance and many friends. The boys arrested for breaking open a carpenter shop and stealing aomo tools were buforo Justice Tanghan yesterday and had their cases continued to Saturday. W H. Brooke was arrested by Officer Warner for dlaturblng the peace by fighting. Aa there seemed to bo others m'xed ' up in the affair the caao will bo left hanging until all the facts and poraonagea can bo got at. H. Clarence Eddy , who. ranka aa ono of the finest organists in the whole land , is to give a concert in the Presbyterian church hero , Friday evening May 11 , assisted by Mlrs May 1'fcnnlx , who aa a contralto has become a great favorite in Chicago. A. Louie la having hla restaurant filled np in the most attractive and elegant manner , the ceilings and walla being decorated as finely as any In the land , George B. Beard having done the work.

Adolph Bill , who was let oat of jail a day or two ago , having been hold for a violation of the rovenno law , celebrated his release In such a glorious , or rather Inglorlonely , drunk that ho Is now back In bis old quar ters , being unnble to pay the $9 GO fine Imposed apon him in the police court. H. L. Hall , the proprietor of the Pacific house billiard hall , yesterday purchased a fall rigged yacht , In miniature. It Is about tire ( not lone and eighteen inches high. It waa made by a German , whom it took two months to complete. It ia a very fine piece of workmanship. John Ahhs delivered his now lec ture on psychology to a few invited friends last night.

She was an uncommonly bright child but In preparing for the recent sjhool exhibition oho over studied and la now lu a most pitiable condition.

The case of the state vs. Henry Boye was on trial before Justice Scburz yesterday , Liudt & Hart ap pearing for the prosecution and John Balrd for the defendant. Boye watt arrested for shooting a dog belonging to Theodore Bisoh , and claimed as n defense that the dog was chasing the chic-kens on the farm on which Boje was employed , and hla boss had told him to get the gnu and shoot the dog , which he did. Half the day waa taken op with the case , and the de cision Is reserved by the justice aa a piece of news for to-day , Under the reorganization of the po lice force , there will bo no .city of ficer stationed attbe Union Pacific de pot. It will be remembered that the custom of having a city polloonian there grew out of the reported abuses to which emigrants wore subjected , and to which attention was particularly called by the shooting of one of the employe there. Then the confidence games were BO numerous that It was deemed best to keep an officer thoro. Now that the city has drawn away ita officer , it remains to ba seen how the experiment will work. So far as the tralnmer are concerned , they have the same authority to nip the con fidence men aa police officers , and there are the railway companies po licemen also on duty there. They know , or ought to know , the crocked men , and It remains to be seen whether they will prevent their working. Complete stock of cornice poles and curtain fixtures at Harknees Bros , myl 3t.

CAGING THE TIGER , The Gambling Places Are to be Closed up Tighti Bo Bays tbo Oity Oounoilt and the Doors Begin to Swing To. Why Tlilg Sudden Attempt to Oloie np the City To the larprlie of many the city council haa ordered all gambling places In the olty to be closed. Snob an edict , If It moans what It pretends to moan , should have been Isauod a long time ago. Council Blnfla haa bho reputation of having more gam bling -places , for Its elzo , than any other olty oven In the west. There am all sorts of games rnnnlug here , and besides the opportunity given for regular sporting men to ply their avocation , there are all sorts of Inducements for boys and workingmen , clerks and other employes to stake and lose what little money they havo. It io a notorious fact that gambling has had Iti own T y hero right along , the only Mifitlnt being the fact of a aont . . > Ino , which la In effect a iloonau. So long as this was paid , : ho fto * Hues hero seemed to care Ittlo uji was douo or how It was done , The now order of the council In- ( tructlng the tnarahal to close all gambling places , la promised on the mrfaco to make a complete revolution. How strictly It will bo enforced , and low long It will bo carried oat , re mains to bo soon. lien Marks yes terday gracefully ulammcd to his doors and locked them , uaylng that 10 did not propose to fight , but would comply with the request made. The non nt Pat Lacey's were also turned OOSG and the game stopped , and others are supposed to follow oalt. Somn of the aldermen on being asked what it means , say they have got tired of the free and easy way In whteh gambling has been allowing to ran Its coarse , and that It Is time for general cleaning out , as other cities iavo shut np their g&mbllng houses , or driven the game into attics and back rooms. It is whispered that if Marshal Jackson does not enforce this order , hat hla head will come off and roll nto the basket. Some Intimate that the difficulty In enforcing the order will give an excuto for those who are not particularly in love with Jack to get him crowded out of the place for legleot of duty. This 'seems foolish ; alk , however , as Jackson will not be backward , and will have llttlo troab'o ' u getting the order observed , for the present at least. There ia another feataro of the i - nation which Is rather Intorestii it The gamblers are not agreed amoL themselves , and Ihero seems son > - < llttio bitterness , ono trying to swallow the other np or force him out of bus Ineea. One of the fraternity declare ) that ho received work , purporting t < come from another loading ono of thi fraternity , that the latter mast havi twenty per cent of his game , or hi would take steps to shut It np , anc that ho had Influence with the author ities so that stops would bo taken it that direction. The Invitation to gtv. up a share of the prc&ta was prompt ! ) declined. The fact that the gamblera so cheer fully and promptly closed np their places yesterday indicates that tbi' order issued by the council waa not very repulsive to them It seem * that the old stand-bys hero felt thr > ' there were too many dabbling in t ) business , and dividing np among th many what they thought ought to b confined to the few. It looks as i they were themselves the cause < i the order being Issued , or at least th t they consented to the abutting up arrangement rangomont , their donlro being " freeze oat and kill oil some of t ) smaller games , and give those wh survived additional advantages whii the tlmo came to open up again. In fact it looks very much as If tl apparent reform waa In reality only > bnalnois stroke to rednce the numb- ' of gambling houses and games , so tb > < when business is resumed it will W ran by a few instead of by many. The affair certainly has a stranp look. To have the conncll snddoni order the gambling houses shut ni and to have the fraternity so quick ) obey , indicates one of two thine- either that the order ia just what tl chief gamblers wanted , ue a strike < i business policy , or else that the at thorltles are much to blame for no closing the gambling places before , i they can do so as easily as it tit * seems. It Is to bo hoped that the ord means all that It pretends to , bat ti. pablio cannot bat be suspicion at such a sudden and radio , i change , and will watch the future with much Interest. The pr < - : diction la that the houses will open i \ > after a little , and it will then becoo moro apparent what the real causes < the shutting up are. If it is agon Ino manlfestatson there can be no i x. cmo for not koepteg the houses si. , up from now on forever. At the meeting which passed tl u order , Mayor Bowman presided p t Aldermen Elcher , Janes , Keating u < 1 Word were present , und all voted MI favor of the resolution , which was . .a follow * : RESOLVED , By the common coui 'I ' of the city of Council Bluffs , lou , That tbo city marshal of said clts hereby directed at once to cloro .1 gambling houses , In said city , wh 'o tdo games of keno , ronletto , red r i black , high ball poker hazard , and 11 games of chance , including faro , pi > - ed in said city , and if said games i--o not closed at once , said * maraeal ta hereby directed to file complaint against the parties forthwith , The council last night had & lively time again over the resolution. Alderman - man Sledentopf instated that the pan sage of the resolution the night be fore wa not legal aa he waa not notl- God of the meeting ju required by law. The resolution'WM again pre sented and hotly dlicuiaed. Bleden- topf and MoMahon were In favor of getting revenue from gambling houie. Keating wanted hone races , dice , and grabbagi Included In the prohibition In the resolution , James , Wood and Elchcr clang to the original reso lution , and the ether throe voted against It. It was declared Io stand. The council adjourned until to-night leaving the matter worse than over. I will place on aalo the next ( on days all muslin underwear , corsets , hosiery , children's dresses and ether notions at the very lowest prices , hav ing determined to close oat that Ho- partmont.

A MyeterlouB Shooting- There waa a rather mfatorloua shooting affair which occurred on Main atroet , at the corner of Ninth avenue , Tuesday night. The police seem to know little about it , but from what can bo learned it appears that a young man stopped at Anderson's saloon about midnight and tried to have those Inside open np to give him a drink. They refusing to open , he became angry and pulling out a re volver fired through the window. Some ono Inside returned the fire lodging a bullet In the young man's shoulder , the wound not being very aerloas , however. Why bo wenkl Why not bo healthy , robust , and strong , by using Brown's Iron Bitters ? Tbo Sunday Law. The saloons have received notice to keep their places shut on Sunday as the ordinance now on the booka re quired. About twice a year this no tification ia given , and it la strictly enforced for a few weeks , or nearly so , and then Sunday gets smashed all to pieces again. In tkeae spasmodic perloda of stringency the ones who really have to close are those who have no back doors to their saloons , while those who have back doors and front curtains got the Sunday trade on the quiet , nt least that part of it that doea not go to the beer gardens , which seem never to bo Interfered with , The order is in fact intended to brace 2 the saloon men some , and keep them from running too openly on Sunday. There have been of late many disgusting street scones in front of saloons aa people are com ing to and going from church , and hence a check mnat bo put to the Sunday business. The order to shut up , however , should bo a square deal for all , and if the , authorities mean "close , " it should apply to beer gar dena and saloons having back doors , aa well ba those which are not thua conveniently for plying the trade on the quiet.
