TAILS ABOUT TOWN
With 8cvcr l Prominent Members
or the Citizens' Committee
of Twenty ,
Ono of the principal topics ot street
conversation yesterday was the mooting
of the evening before which appointed a
committee of twenty to dovlso wnjs nnd
moans for raising the noccsinry funds to
carry on the city. Wishing to outline
the probable policy of the committee , -
BEE man Interviewed several of th
prominent members , which interview
are repotted below :
The lion. W. H. M Pmoy , who was
appointed chairman of the committee
said : "I don't think the committee wll
do anything. I don't believe It will over
hold n mooting. I know I won't moot
with it. A town meeting is not the
propar place to dlscuaa finances , and do
vlso means for railing funds. I wai not
at the mooting and WAI appointed with
out my knowledge or consent. It Is
ridiculous for this council to bankrupt
the city , and then ask n town mooting to
make It good. "
L. W. Tulloys said that ho was willing
to act on the committee. "But , " eaid
ho , "Tho temperance men do not pro
pose to drop the prosecution of the caacs
already commenced. Wo propose to
fight them clear through , and If success
ful wo will prosecute every
saloon In the city. And not only the
ealoom but the cty : oflicors who do not
attempt to enforce the laws. Yon may
put it In your paper that the temperance
men will not surrender , and will not con
sent t } any compromise with the abomln
able trafllc. Wo have enlisted for the
war. This will not bo a summer cam
paign , but wo will fight It as long as wo
llvo , or until wo have the victory. "
Leonard Everett said : "I do not Bay I
will net act , but 1 do not conaldor this
the proper way to raise money. If the
common council have not backbone
enough to ralso the revenue lot them
atop out. "
Mr. Thomas Officer said ho had baon
so busy with his private nilalra that ho
had not given the matter a great deal of
thought. "Tho position I occupy Is
this. The law of the state of Iowa says
the sale and nso of liquor shall bo pro
hibited. I am in favor of enforcing obedience -
dionco to the law. The liquor element
has controlled the elections here , and if
the oflicors elected by thnt clement have
tpent all the rovouuo of the city for this
year , and all the city expects to earn for
a year to come , and tine * themselves
where they can do nothing , they had
better resign and lot the temperance
element elect men who can run the city
moro economically. "
Doctor Maorao : "It is useless to talk
about licensing saloons , and giving thorn V
permission to sell liquor. It can't bo I
done. Neither cau the city guarantee \
thorn immunity from prosecution. I
recognize as fully as anyone tbo enormity
of the ovll of the trafic in Intoxicating
drinks , but do not ballovo It can bo pro
hibited in Council Bluff * now. As a
member of the citizens committee I
would advlso the council to say to each
caloon , you must pay to the city $1,000 !
a year , in monthly installments of $00 ,
In advance , or clojo up immediately , and
I would say to each gambling honso , yon
must pay § 200 In advance each month or
uloso. "
C. A. Graham said ho presumed ho
irould attend the meeting , but ho did not
know what ho had to do about it. "If
the council have not tbo back bone to do
trhat needs to bo done they had better
resign. It Is foolish to talk about licens
ing ealoons or guaranteeing immunity to
law-breakers. It is just ao foolish to
juppoBo that a lot of respectable citizens
can bo induced to glvo tholr
joneoat to open violation of the
law. But the common council can go to
each saloon keeper and quietly say , you
had better pay a certain amount into the
slty treasury or we will close your place
inside of t only-four hours. The truth
Is the city has spent all Its money and
run In debt , and is In a bad hole. If
pou or I should find ourselves In that
way , wo would go slow , and try to eqnaro
up before wo went In any deeper , nnd
that Is what the city had bolter do. "
There are others whoaro just as deeply
interested in this subject as thos3 the
BEE man talked with. But the interviews
reported reflect tbo sentiments of a largo
mjority of our best cltlzans.

She Didn't Die.
Lone sat a love-lorn maiden

Where breezes , blossom laden ,
Litped low their sweetest tuno.
Her face was ono to study ,
Despite its look of care ,
And rones rich and ruddy
Bloomed wild among her hair ,
Prom through the arbor paling
She watched the garden gate ,
With patience almost falling ,
For new 'twas after eight.
She rote in anger , saying ,
As she smote a trailing vine ,
"I fear he is but playing
With this trusting heart of mine ,
"Oh , love , how can you do it
How make your darling cry ?
But , wretch , I'll make you rue it ,
I'll ' go right homo and die ! "
The gate clicked then , and Molllo
Sprang out with joyful scream :

A STORY OF THE BORDER.
You see , I had tuborculoso diaoaao of
the lungs , and go they wanted mo to go
Now Mexico , some where on the plateau.
"Takn yonr wife and baby alongl" ex
claimed Dr. ( Summer , "Novorl why ,
the poor Ilttlo thing Isn't six weeks old.
I couldn't think of permitting you to
expose its frail existence to Iho rigors of
a winter on the Now Mexican platoan
It wouldn't ' lire a month. And as for
your wife , die's got enough to do to
take care of herself and the baby , In
comfort and at leisure , wlthont having
to niusB yea and having to ondnro hard
ships Into the bargain. "
(
All this xras spoken rapidly nnd before
I could interpose n word , 1 Involuntarily
'if ' ted my hand as if in remonstrance , but
I let It drop again , and silently admitted
the foico of the argument.
"You must leave her with her mother
or with yours until she is ready to follow
yon , " Bald Dr. McCready.
And to it was , My poor Itttlo wife ,
It nearly broke her heart. Bntlt couldn't ' | <
bo helped. Within a week I was roady.
The good-by was awful.
That is how I came to go to Now
Mexico.
Tlmo hung heavily on my hands , nnd
between rending stories in the newspap
ers and writing melancholy letters to my
wife I just managed to escape commit
ting suicide. A position was promised
mo with n prominent citizen of Las
Vegaa , who needed the services of ono
jnat like mo , but ho was out of town ,
and wouldn't bo back for several weoks.
I had this tlmo to kill.
Idleness is a bad thing for any man ,
ind acquaintances are made in spite of
ancsclf. I was nt leisure to make the
icqoalutanco of a young follow a few
rears my senior , ono Toiiy Scott , late of
Dhloago , but now on the road for a Now
England mercantile house. Circumstances
iompollod him to lay over In Las Vegas
'or a couple of weoks. Ho was a line
'ollow , as the saying goes , n perfect gen-
loman , with a thorough knowlodgs of the
verld , and a social companion par excel-
once. Ho did mo the honor to come to
ny room , smoke my cigars , drink my
Iquor , aud win a V or an X of me , now
, nd then , at various little games. I took
\ sort of liking to him , and ho to mo , for
: nown reasons , nnd so wo became moro
ir loss Intlmato after a whllo. At any
ate ho know all about my coming to Now
iloxlco ; what I know of him doesn't
natter.
I only dragged in the mention to glvo
ou to understand how wo spent many
n hour together between the drinking ,
moklcg and playing. Ho did the
moklng my physicians told mo I might
inoko any day I naa ready to put an end
o my existence.
Tony was immensely pleased with the
ortrait of my wlfo I carried about with
10. Ho , himself , was a bachelor. At
rat I was flattered by his compliments
u her "beauty and intellectuality ; " but
s ho brought the subject up almost diP
very time ho came , I began to feel an- P <
oycd about it.
'When is she coming on to join you ? " hiPC

"Well , I can't very well ; but then a w :

I poured out a a finger of "bluo grass" th
nd. gulpad It down. I didn't have a
ord to say for myself. I wanted to
ave the subject changed. I was abont be
) attempt to effect this when Tony th
iked , with a quick persistence : foTc
"Havo you written her of your ills ? " Tc
I had , but I didn't say so. I shook my thwl
cad. wl
"Noble f ollow 1' exclaimed Tony. re
I bit my lip , Ho smiled Ironically.
"If I were your wife and know you to ca

e continued. tri
I arose from my Boat Impatiently f nd kc

"If it ii going to give you any satisfac-

te toll you that I'm afraid she's on the as

opartod for Kansas Olty at once , barely 10p
itching the train. I thought my path p
ly twice across the eqiutor , so long It
Bomod. I uover saw a train crawl BO
inch In nil my life before. I had nr-
ived at the otntial metropolis of the 01
United States moro dead than alive ,
and ran nt onoa to the ticket ofl'ico both
of the road nnd of tbo Pullman company.

"This ono worn n black satin olcak ,

"Ahl"
"Dark complexioned , buo eyes "
"Yes , yosj I remember now. There
was tome trouble about the biggage ,
there was to much of it. And , como to
think nbout It , I paid her $9.80 rebate
on her tlckot from Chicago , "
"Havo yon the receipt ? "
"I presented the request with a green
back and trembling lltubi , "
"Wait a moment. "
A minute of breathless expectation
passed and then I was shown the rebate
certificate with my wife's signature on
the back of it , "Emran Gornor. ' The
date was two week's back ,
"Did she go on at once to Las Vegas ? "
"Sho wanted to I bollovo , but looked
no palo and tick that her companion ad *
vised "
"Companion ! " I fairly shouted.
"Yes , a yonng gentleman. "
I rattled off a description of Tony
Scott In a jiffy.
"That's the man. "
"Ahl for God's sake man , tell mo , did
; hey go on or nro they in town hero yet ? "
"Thoy wont on together lait night
"To Las Vciasl"
"Exactly. IIo wanted to pay for her
icket , but aho'declinod positively. "
I tottered away. At the the tickob of-
ice of the Pullman company I ascertained
hat section No. C of the pilaco-sloopor
iaaymas had been lot to a yonng lady
rith a baby , lower , and a gentleman ,
rho was evidently accompanying her ,
ippor.
I wont to the Ooates house where I ex-
mined tbo register. A few pages back
onnd these entries :
"Mrs. Richard E.rnor , Hobrokon ,
r. y. "
"Anthony Wayne Scott , Lynn , Mass. "
I besieged the hotel clerk and proprl-
tor with questions , nnd learned that my
Ifo had been 111 for a long time and con
ned to her room. Furthermore that
'ony ' Scott had attendee to all wants
'ith rare dovotlon.
"What was her demeanor toward him ? "
"Sho Boomed grateful nnd friendly ,
ut nothing moro. Poor lady , she looked
ory sad aud ill. Wo had to carry her
ito the coach. She would go , in spite
f the doctor's remonstrance. "
Tnat same night I was on my way
ack to L&3 Vcrgaa , torn with conflicting
notion ,
Why didn't she manage to iolograph

Within forty endless honra I was back
; the depot in LIB Vegan , Had a young
dy with a baby nnd a pile of baggnxa
rived yesterday ? I was answered in
10 aflirmativo on nil sides.
"And was Mr. Scott with her ? " I
iked of ono who know Scott well.
"Yes sir ho "
, , was.
"Where wboro did they go to ? "
"Danno. They had n carriage and
: eve awny Into the old town , I sup-
"
) so. . '
If they had had a bar at the depot I'd
ivo treated that follow to a drink. Ho
> t a cigar instead. I jumped into a
reot car and hastened to my lodgings.
To my amazement I found the door of
y room unlocked. I pushed It open.
bo scene that met my gsza was : My
ifo was sitting on a rocker by the Cro ,
oging softly to the baby , with a happy
nllo on her face ; Tony Scott atnndinc
7 the window , calmly smoking ouo of
y cigars nnd chatting merrily with my
ifo.

With a revolver in myjfcand , I entered
.0 room.
; My wife started to hoc feet , ut'o cd a
ad cry , hastily placad the baby on the
id and rushed into my anns. Ono of
0 aims Involuntarily clasped iho dear
rm to my bosom. I fixed my eyes on
) ny Scott. But ha had bigger eyes Tl
an I had. Ho looked Into my oyea
ith a puzzled stare , then looked at my
volvcr aud then into my eyes again.
"What's got Into you ? ' ho asked ,
Imly.
1 felt that there vras a mistake oomo-
aero , and torsed the revolver on the
ble , while I kls ed my sobbing wife. I
led to sty something , bur , for want of
towing something to say , I slid noth-

"What took you to Kansas City In
ch a confounded hurry , anyhow ? " Tony

0 canvass ceiling.
In reply I tossed my mother's telegram
1 the table.
" Why , I telegraphed you from Kansas
ty Immediately on the arrival of your
ifo there , and wo were both astonished
at there was no reply. "
"But what In thuirlor took you to

Ho fought mo with my own weapons.
