Tliero was communion services nt the
Congregational church yesterday morn-
Ing. In the evening there was a service
In the Interest of the Y. M. 0. A. , Prof.
Baldwin of Dos Molnos , being the prin
cipal spaakor.
Davy Mottaz , the special policeman nt
Bebbington'a lumber yard , says ho novcr
saw such n crowd on lower Main street
late at night as ho did on Saturday nlghb
at eleven o'clock when the saloons In thai
vicinity closed nnd all hands made a dash
for home.
Mr. Pettibatio's iden of a school housa
fonca ii a high tight board one , like those
which are put around the bawdy houses.
This goes well with Mott's idea of a Sun
day school being a place whcro children
draw obscene pictures.
There must bo something very fascinat
ing about .in offio that has no salary
when men will hire thirty or forty work
ers at the polls to secure their election.
No salary , but lots of contracts to let
and patronage to distribute.
Mott's idea of n Sunday school is very
vagno , as ho has doubtless not attended
ono for yenrs. Ho thinks all they do is
to draw obscene pictures on the black
board and befoul the outhoueea. This is
Insult added to injury.
It cost Charles Adolf , of the Bachttle ,
several clgais yesterday for informing a
gentleman that ho was putting his letters
Into the mail box
without any stamps on
thooi. The envelopes wore marked "of
ficial bualnoes , U. S. treasury , " and
Charlie "tumbled" very gracefully.
W. P. Aylesworth , besides success
fully completing the raising of A. B.
Walker's largo brick residence , la now
raising the residence of Mrs. Spiegel ,
corner of Seventh street and Eighth
avenue. It is to bo raised seven leer.
Ho has alsj contracted to ralso Thos. Of
ficer's largo brick residence.
The decision In the case of Scofiold
Cavin is , the city does not affect the pav
ing ijnoation as some suppose. It is
simply the old grading cartiGcates that
are involved , the total amount of which
is snpposad to read § 40,000 , and the supreme
premo court m y decide dlflorontly from
Judge Connor. The case will bo can-let
up by the city.
It Is understood that of all the names
mentioned for school directors only fou
remain Casper and Bell on ono ticket
Mott and Pottlbono on the other. Mr
Casper his hadl experience in schoo
matters , and Mr. Boll is also a citizen
who stands well among all classes. If [
elected there is no doubt about their
protecting and furthoiing the interests'of
the public. There is nothing to lose ,
everything .to g ln , by a change.
From J. L. Do Bovqlse , the union
ticket agent at No. 507 Broadway , the
Interesting information is gleaned that
those holding emigrant or third-class
tickets to California will , now bo allowed
to stop over at points In that state short
of destination , for the purpose of Inspect
ing lands with a view to settlement. By
these now arrangements immigrants can
stop over nt any point in California for
ion days.
Mr. Pettibono'a son Is said to liave
been given the job of filling up the
ground of the Second ward school house ,
and alto the ono In the southern part of
the city. Suppose that some other man
it now put in Mr. 1'ettibone'a place , and
aomo other man's son given a part of this
wjrk. It might be just as well. The
democrat especially have been calling
for a change. Suppose they help make
ono now.
Itlin t on the letting of coal contracts
alone that there is reason to complain
It Is staled ( hat while the contract for
cutting down the ground for the Stula-
man street school was lotto Mr , Kelly
for $1,000 , still the board . .allowed him
over twtco that amount , as ho claimed ho
was losing money. SHU , Molt and Petti-
bone nmko a great show of economy because -
cause they "dock" a per teacher a few
nickels.
There Is ono ciuso of general satisfac
tion In ro er'J to to-day's school election.
The question of anporlntondoncy does
not seem to come into the election In any
form , none of the candidates-named hav
ing any desire for a change , and none
having any pst whom they want to sup
plant the present superintendent. The
attempt to got Clarendon back aa superin
tendent will not bo inaio again probably ,
and it Is to bo hoped that this has died
out of Bchool elections hero for ovor.
This tine there ia no pledging of candi
dates for or against any particular man
for superintendent.
Dr. S. Mcshor , of the Slour City
Chronlo Dlscaio Instltat ? , will bo at the
Scott house in this city , Thursday ,
April 2d. Will attend to. patients and
all who are efllictod will do well to giro
him a call. Consultation free.
TO-DAY'S ELECTION.
Iiprtaut Fads For Voters to Con
sider ,
Molt Got I lot.
Although there are not so many loaves
and lishoj for the ward workers to scram
ble after as In an ordinary city election ,
yet to-day'a school election is no loss im
portant , and every voter should see to It
that his ballot Is cast for good men and
trus. The school board disburses inoro
money and controls moro patronage than
any other department of the city gov
ernment. Financially It la of the utmost
importance that the best citizens bo
chosen as directors. The duties of di
rectors are arduous nnd the pay nothing ,
BO that when men ara so anxious to gat
the position that they will use column
altar column in the papers to help their
candidacy , the effort is looked upon with
suspicion.
Not only are the pocket books of the
present generation largely in the hands
of the diioctors , but the heads and hearts
of | the uprising generation. Financially ,
intellectually , moiaUy , to day's election
is therefore of greater Importance than
the more favoring of the wishes of two
men , who want to-keep in oflice.
THE BEE called attention to tap official
record of the two moa whosa tarm now
expire. It said not a word against their
private record but , in fact , spoke favor
ably of that. Their official career la pub
lic property and THE BEE traated it as
anon frankly and honestly.
In response ono of the two , Mr. Mctt ,
devotes a column of the Nonpareil to
abusing the Council Bluffs' editor of THE
BEE. For this abuse TUG BEE man carea
not a whit , for If a man Is BO ashamed of
his ofliclal career that ho gets mad when
the record Is glvon to the public -whom
it belong ? , then let him got mad. In his
rage , however , ho should not ao far forget
himself as to make foolish and false state
ments. THE BEE waa not "disappointed
in not getting a lady friend elected as
teacher in our Bchooh. " No such ap
plication has been made , no hint of such
a wish oven was ever made , and In fact no
such lady existed to the knowledge of
THE BEE man. In fact every word , let
ter and intimation connected with that
statement is false , and no one of the di
rectors , or any ono else can produce any
evidence to supportMott'a cha'rgo.
The attempt to mislead the public by
making any such false statements , and by
putting such a false construction on the
motive of THE BEE man , shows into what
straits dcspcrata ambition will load an
oilice-soakcr.
The statement Is false , but if true It
would count for nothing , It doe not
change the facts of the official records of
Messrs. Mott and Pettlbono.
In hh statement Mr. Mott docs not
deny the thrao facts stated in THE BEE.
Firjt that teacher "docked"
, * are for
every day In which the board ordora the
schools closed. A practice In existence
no whcro eho In the atato.
Second , that the board has not adver
tised for bids for famishing the immense
amount of coal used by the schools.
Third , that they arc responsible for
mission schools being forbidden the use of
the school buildings under any circum-
Dtances
Mr. Mott merely socks to explain
theeo. Ho says the law requires the
"docking" of the few nickels fiom the
hard-worked and not over-paid teacher ? .
A year ago this "dockiag" was tried ,
but failed , as It waa not In the teachers'
contracts , and It was conceded that under
the law the boaid could not deduct the
few nlcklcs sought to bo taken. This
last year , Mott and Pcttibone , knowing
that the law was not sufficient , and that
it must ba done by special contract , made
the teacher * sign an agreement to that
effect , or else they would not employ
thorn. Why the need of these special
contracts if tbo general law was sufficient ?
Such parsimony la not shown to employes
in other places , and It la not common to
the employment of penons in either pub m
lic or private houao * . It is prcdjudiclal
to Council Bluffs ; It la a part of the illib
eral policy which enables other cities to
got BoniB of our best teachers away.
In regard to the letting of coal con
tracts , amounting to thoneauda of dollars ,
the county , the deaf and dumb Institu
tions and other public Institutions got
bids , BO that the public treasury may bo
saved all possible expense. Mr. Mott
does not deny that a contract was drawn
tip ready for signing , without any adver
tising for bids. After THE BEE exposed
the matter , them the prices of other deal
ers waa obtained , but not till then. THE
BEE believes In lettiogall have a cbauco
to bid , and then letting the contract so as
to save the city all possible expense.
MIu regard to mission echoolf , the only
excuse Mott and Pet Ibono pffer is that
tbo result of mltsion schools Ia "that
children's books and slates are carried off ,
obscene characters made on tbo black
boards , outhouses befouled , oto " . This if
true would ahow a depth of immorality
among the yonng which demands more
moral institutions. Just how children
in a Sunday school would DO engaged in
drawing obscene pictures on the black
boards , does not appear. This excuse is
too gauzy. The fact la that when the
people whoso mono ? builds the school
homei petltlonforthe privilege of having n
mission tcheol , where they piy oxtia for
the extra expjnie , where they pay the
janitor for taking charge of the building
Sunday aa on other days , uhtra they
offer ! bonds of rciponiiblo ci'izjns ' , cover
ing any possible damtgo to public or
private properly , why are not the people
allowed 1o Ufo the people's house , jnstaa
