MINOB MENTION ,
See J. Roller's now spring goods.
The work of scraping the mud off the
paved streets commenced yesterday.
Ei-Policomaa Olongh is notr eorving
as deputy marshal , A giocl appoint
ment.
Ed. Waterman , the carriage manufacturer -
uror , Is building a surah for G. R.
Whoolor.
St. Patrick's ' society Is making great
preparations for Its ball In Bono's hall on
the 17th.
The frame building on Broadway near
the Ooy house , which wni partly burned ,
is now being repaired.
Mike Connors was arrested yesterday
forasianlt , the trouble being a trivial
ono In the Wabnih yards.
The mayor makes au official request
that all bnaincoo houses close to-day
from noon tintU 0 o'clock.
II. .7. Bublltz was on Saturday mar-
trod at his residence to Mlsj Madge Me-
Lochlan , late of Rock Island , Rev. A.
K. Bates oflloiating.
Ilonry Bolta and Anna Moss wera yes
terday afternoon married in the parlors
of Kiel's hotel by Justice Sohurz. They
arc both from Silver Crook.
The county treasurer and the county
auditor arc now snugly settled in tholr
now quarters In the Masonic building ,
and the other county officara will move
this weok.
F. M. Young was arrested and fined
ycatorday for shooting a revolver on
Fierce street. The city marshal says ho
intends putting a atop , if possible , to the
foollah shooting cf revolvers in public
places.
If any man is mean enough to accept
$5 of east end money to work at the polls
against the interests of ills own city , ho
should bo borne in mind In the future ,
when ho in liable to want somothlcg that
Council Bluffs can give him.
Iho weather was so pleasant yesterday
that several gentlemen took down their
laatacaion'a "Blaino and Logan" white
high hats from off the hook and hitting
them several duba with a whist broom
put them on , thinking "spring has
como. "
Everybody ahould turn out to the
polls to-day and vote for the now court
house. The bualness men are urged to
close np from noon until G o'clock.
Council Bluffs should speak with ono
Toico , and that a mighty one , to-day.
The change in the time of running
dummy trains does not increase the pub
lic acommodations. By the now ar
rangement any one visiting Council
Bluffs in the evening cannot leave hero
for Omaha nntll quarter before midnight ,
which makes It very lato.
It seems to bo a well established fact
that some ahrowd follows of the east
end of the county have succeeded in
hiring a few Council Bluffers to work at the
polls here against the court house. * Any
man who will try to betray his own city ,
and strangle ts Interests for a few nlckloa ,
should have his name hold np for shame.
Some good , honest men , who are oblig
ed to work hard from morning until night ,
will fool tempted to rest their weary
bones , or cave their time and strength ,
by remaining away from the polls to-day
and not voting. They think that the
couit house question can bo settled without -
out their vota anyway. Remember that
In parts'oE this county there will be a solid
vote , not merely against the court house ,
but against Council BlulFj. Your vote
in y bo the deciding ono. The utay-at-
homeatogothor may cause the court house
question to bo defeated. Eor onca in
your lives , sacrifice time and strength for
the sake of the reault , and let not ono
vote be lo t.
It is a matter of grot regret that
Council Blnifj now has no public build
ing In which to hold her conventions or
citizens meeting without raiting a special
Bubsorlptlon to pay for the rent. "With-
out any court house the public Is put to
great inconvenience. For Instance , laal
night it was necatsuy to have a citizens
iuectlcg , 'but as they had no court homo ,
a few had to chip in and raise $20 to pay
for the Masonic hall. In leasing this
building for conit house purposes , no
provision was made by the county boarc
for holding any public meetings there
It is often the case that convfintlons am
other gatherings are to bo bold here , Ii
which vojers of both parties , throoghou
the county are concerned , so that the in
convenience adti extra oxponte la not enl >
hard on Council Bluffs' cit'zens ' but hart
on the county at largo.
g The largest attraction yet at the rink
Je sure and see i * Saturday evening , at
it may be the last of the seaion.
'OnicUl ' lleciucar.
At the roquett of the leading buslnes
men of the city , I hereby desire that a !
business bouses cf whatever kind clos
to-day , the 10th init. , from 12 o'clocl
p. m. , and the time ba devoted wholly It
the matter of the ipecial election for
new court homo and a new coun'y ' jail
This Is ono of the root Important ma <
tore ever brought to the attention o
our people , and It is tight , proper an
nocciaary tint tbii request bo compile
with In the letter and in its full spirit
let each man in the city go to work wit
a will forsuccets.
W. R , VAUOHAN , Mayor.
AGAIN TO THE POLLS ,
hall there Bo a Ntw Conrt Honse
and Jail ?
TotinyVI11 Toll.
The election to-day is ono of great
moment to this county. The rote will
iccido whether Pottawattomio county
hall continue to bn disgraced by its
nmble-down court house and rotten ,
iltby jsllor whether , with its present
wealth and bright prospects , with Its
recdom from debt ami Us high rank In
ho state , It shalUpnt up buildings which
will do the county credit. To-day will
ccido whether iho county will go on
hrowlng money away for rent and other
xtraoidinary expenses. or whether It
will use its money for paying for iU own
) aildings. To-day will dccldo whether
ncn will allow prejudice and passion to
) lind them to tholr best interests ; whether
ho title of every man's property
hall remain In danger for years to como ;
whether Iho records of the county will
> o exposed to ruin or loss , for lack of a
TO proof building and vaults.
In addition to this Council Bluffs has
t special Interest in the election. It frill
uvo to pay a largo part of the lax , and
night to have a largo intercut. Still , as
ias been thown the tax when figured
[ own to Individual shares , docs not
amount to more than a penny an acre on
arming land , or about ten cents a
month to a man who owns § 2,500 worth
if city property , and none of this will
lave to bo paid until 1887 not ono cent.
\BntaridofromthisCouncll Bluffs has
; roat Interest In this elaotlon because It it
s carried , and the court liocsa la built hero
largo amount of other building la to go
Ight on In that vicinity , and if it is not
built , these experiments will not bo
iado. Every worklngmin is therefore
Irectly concerned in this ,
For this reason alone ovcry working-
liould look with distrust upon any rest-
ent cf Council Bluffs who will try to
ofcat this enterprise , and this thrust at
abor.
Council Bluffs' fortune depends largely
n to-day's election. It will forever sot-
10 the agitation about division of the
onnty or change of county seat. No
nch division and no such change can
como so long as Council Bluffs pulls
pgethcr , but the agitation of the ques-
ions la do trillion lal to Council Bluffs'
nterests , and should bo stopped. It
irevents many from Bottling hero , it
: enda to prevent the enlargement of
) nslnesi , and harasses and annoya 1m-
irovcmant and progress.
There ara many urgent reasons , too
nany to name in the present spae.
Svery man who caroc for his own property ,
who cares for the honor and best intor-
tts of the connty , who cares at all for
Jouncll Blnffa , ahould consider himself in
loundcn duty to vote and work to-day ,
lat the qnoslion may bo Bottled dice
nd for oil.

STILC PEOTESTING ,
How the Strike or the AVabasIi ilound
House Men Progresses.
There has been little change In the
tuation of the Wabaah strike for the
tast few days beyond the holding cf an-
: her meeting of wotklngmen of all
asses and the passage of the following
eaolntiona :
WHEREAS , The Wabash , St. Louis and
"aclQc railway has posted a schedule of
iductlon In wages of Its employes In
ho motive power and oar builders' do-
lartmenta ; and ,
Whereas , The employes of these do-
artmonta have protoatod against s id ro-
Inctlon by striking or stopping work ; it
s heraby
Resolved , By the worklngmon of.Coun-
1 Blnfla , that wo recognize In this action
E the Wabaah railway management , one
E tholmany oppressive measures resorted
0 by capitalists in encroaching upon the
ust rights of laborers In depriving them
1 tholr just share of the proceeds of
loir toil ; and , further ,
Ilasolved , That wo most emphatically
irotoit against the policy followed by the
orporations employing laborers , in on-
eavoring to place upon the employes
bo burden of lotses from jnaladmlnla-
ration of affairs over which said om-
lojos have no control , and taking the
jeer man's plttanco to nwell the rich
mania hoard ; nnd , further ,
Resolved , That wo sympathize most
leartlly with the employes of the Wa
bash railway in the contojt thus cruelly
orced upon them , and call on oil work
men , whether organized or not to give
id and support to these tholr brethren ,
n a struggle wherein all the labor of the
oantry is Interested , and warn all trno
overs of justice to abstain from working
or the Wabash railway nntll this struggle
s over.
Resolved , further , That wo will take
tyciy opportunity to express our uiocra
ion nnd contempt of those self-convicted
scabs whe are rendering aid to the com
non enemy of human rights by taking
the places of the sttikors in the Wabaeh
service.
No\v York Ijlfo Insurance Company.
Forty years have passed away einco
this company Issued its first lifo policy ,
[ t began with an Idea a principle life
Insurance upon the purely mutual plan ,
carried out by iclontiQo methods ; the
net reeult in forty years may bo oplto
mlzpd as follow :
The payment of over thirty million
dollars to the families of deceased mem
bers ; over fifty million dollars returnee
to living polioy-holdon , and cash assets
on hand January 1,1885 , over forty-niao
million dollrrs.
More new business wai done than dur
ing any pravloui year of the company's
history. Last year the same thing was
eaid of Ilia previous year's business , and
so the compiny goes on boating its own
record every year. Its new basinets has
increased rr galarly since 1878tho amount
written in 1883 ( mounting to nearly iifty-
two million dollars on ever seventeen
thousands lives.
Among the elements that have con
tributed to the atetdy and rapid growth
of the Now York Lite , and to Its incroia-
ing favor among inturers , are th'e follow
ing : |
1. A liberal oontrsct , free from bur
densome condit'oue , under wbish the
policy rnlqht become void or become the
subject of expensive litigation. Under
ilia Led it miy be mentioned that it
does not insert in its policies the usual
clanss making thorn void In owe of * ' elf-
destruction , voluntary or involuntary ,
sane or insane , " nnd an Inspection of its
policies will show that It claims no rolouo
from its contr ci except vrhoro there is
very clear evidence of n purpose to de
fraud. The snpirlor value cf its policies
In this respect has been often illustrated.
2. The remarkable returns each year
balng made on its maturing tontine poli
cies and the great popularity of the non-
forfeiting feature originated by this com
pany in 1800 and which It applies to its
tontine the same os other policies. Spe
cial attention is called to the detailed re
port found in another column ,

CLOSING THE SALOONS ,
S mo Neglect to Comply with the
Order.
The recent reformatory order t ? naloon
men to cloto at 11 o'clock every night ,
and to bozp cloacd nil of Sunday ecema to
have boon generally complied with. A
few , however , acomcd to have determin
ed not to oboyBomo claiming that they had
to keep open because of their lunch conn-
ton , at which it is supposed some got
their meals. Information was filed yes
terday against Wagner & Sherlock , and
the cue continued until Wednesday.
Complaint is also made of
Bill Lacy , John Nicholson and Myers &
Smith , bul no action taken in their cases
yet.It
It doea not appear that the gambling
houses are being much looked alter , and
the wave of reform does not appear to
strike them. There Is a constant howl
about the saloons , hut in the minda of
many who consider thorn evils , the gam
bling honaes , as conducted in Council
Bluffs , are by far the greater evil. They
are duing moro to undermine the
credit of individuals and of the
city , and with all sorts of
games ranning from n ntcklo up , the
wogen of the worklnqmen , and the llttlo
change got by moro boys , la boltig sirept
away. If there is to bo a bracing np and
a reform , the gambling places should bo
looked after at least M soon na any.
