TAKE THE THAW IN GOOD TIME. Merry Social Doings nt Arocn Tlie Gcrstcnbcrc Xcst Still Trotifolc- Personals nnd 1'nrix- ltont tlio More niosscil to Giro Tlinn Distribute. The labor of raising money and sup plies for the relief of tlio poor of tlio city ficcnis to linvo been far easier than that of properly distributing what has been thus Kained. Tliu ladies who gathered ut the hcadquarlors of the eonnnitteo , on Pearl Mrcnt , hail nil limy eould do yestorda.v , as on Salurdny. At an early hour in the morning llion * was giillu'ri'd a i-rowd of men , woman and children waiting for the doors to open , nnd throughout , dr. ; day ihu applicants continued to eoinu. Many of theio did not appear to bo HUll'ering. .Somii of the men won * hah ; , hearty look ing fellows who .seemed able to work , and to whom : i chance to do manual labor would apparently bo the truest charity. .Some of the females were nujoly dressed , feathers , while aprons , iri//.cs , earrings , and other indications of partial prosperity appearing in tliu crowd. Still ( hero were many who not only appeared to be in want , but who doubtless were so. Some of the cases would call forth sympathy from a stone. The great I rouble was lo discriminate and place the relief where it would do tlio most good. The ladies very wisely adopted a rule for Ihnir guidance. In no case was any relief given unless the tacts had been learned by actual investigation , or the ease was vouched for as worthy by .some member of the ward committees. ( Jreat earn is thus being taken to prevent waste and fraud. In many cases the committee simply take tliu address and then look the matter it ) ) in detail. Some annoyance has been caused by the exaggerated reports as to the amount of provisions , clothing , elc. , to bo dis tributed. The supply of these articles was nowhere nearly as large as mostsup- pose. Some of the clothing contributed was absolutely worthless and had to bo thrown awav , as it was unlit for use. The supplies that could bo used to advantage wore quickly disposed of to those known to bo in need. Some complaints can justly bo made about persons contribut ing worthless slull1 , but such complaints are fow. There was a lot of tea , for in stance , which the committee did not dare lo give out , it seeming lo bo ground bay mixed with coimoras , or some such mix- turo. A little lin cup used lo dish it out was quickly covered with verdigris , and the comniUlco bccamo alarmed k-bt the lea would poison those who used it. On Iho other hand llioru was cause for complaint about those who desired help. In some cases tho'-o who sought relief wore very particular what they took. Some would not lake a. new , serviceable ] shoo because it tied with a string instead of being furnished with buttons and a button book. There were in the gather ing of supplies live barrels of broken crackers. These crackers , right from the factory , areas nice as any that can bo bought for money. It. is Ay-ell known that many of the be.it families in the city pur chase at the factory broken crackers for their own table use , these crackers being nice and fresh , and for many purnoscs just as good as the whole ones , while they soil a little less. Jhiiiy of those who claimed to bo really Miiloring for food turned \ \ \ > their noses at these broken crackers. This was enough to make ono feel that they had better &o without food a while longer. Such foolish nicety robbed many of the cases of the .sympathy which Ihey would otherwise have gained. As was lo be expected , many of lliose who were first to apply for help merited it the least. Ono man , with two hearty looking females , drove up to the rooms in a wagon drawn by two horses. Ho admitted that lie owned the horses and wagon , but said ho had been troubled with rhcumalism , and in the extreme cold had not boon able lo work. His claim will bo looked into. One nicely dressed young lady , apparently healthy , asked for help without a blush. She claimed she was sent by one of the com mitted , but was directed to go back and get a written order lirst. She departed and did not appear again. Many of the ca cs prove lo bo chronic ones. They are needy , and probably always will bo dependant on others. These seem tlio saddest , for they nro tlio most hopeless , and it seems impossible to so help them that they will become self supporting. Another class of cases quite plentiful is where the wife and mother , with a largo family of little ones , arc really sufl'eiing , and yet a halo , hearty husband and father is lying about , doing nothing for their sup port , and drinking up whatever the others of the lamily can gel. It is dillicult lo handle these cases. The man ought to bo made to work , or al lowed to starve , buttlie family cannot bo allowed to suller on his account , and if they are helped the man goes on. eat ing and drinking and sleeping , lazily spending day aflor day _ without an effort to help his condition. Dr. Lawrence , who has had a good deal of experience in this sort ot work , .says that he has tried different way to reach these cases , but has almost given up trying. He has sometimes placed tlio provisions in some neighboring house , directing the family there to deal out a little at a time to the needy family , taking good care to do so when the good for nothing man was away from the house. Still this did network work , for Iho man would find out , and would so abuse his family that they would resort to all schemes to get food for him , or things to sell for whisky rather than sutler his abuse. Ono of Iho class of worthy cases is that of a woman living on lower Uroadway. She has thrco littlci children , the oldcit only 5 years old , the youngest a babe. Shu is not .strong , ami cannot leave her litllo family to work out. She does what she can to earn money by knitting , doing plain bowing and such work. Her husband was u niechaiiio. doing well at his trade , being an OM'olloiit carpenter and stair builder. While at work on the Masonic temple hero , earning $2.75 a day , he smUlonlv disappeared , dc.sorling his wife and children , going no ono hero knows where. She has not hoard from him sinctt Some think he lias got to drinking , and homo say that the man bfoaino cra/.cd and wandered oil. However this may bo the wife and little ones were lelt witli no means of sumiort. They were occupying rooms in a littju house , owned by a woman who could ill a lib rd to give them help , but this woman has generously given them Iho use of the rooms free over since. She has also hclncd the family in other ways , A lit- lit ) help has been had from the county , but with all this the struggle against the wolf has been a hard one , Her relatives arc all in the old country , and not able to help her. Thus she finds herself in a land of strangers , deprived of husband , and with the burden of supporting her self and lliroo helpless ones. Tlio woman was nearly heart-broken over Iho disap pearance of her husband , but she has ral lied with a brave heart , ttnd is keeping lierllltlo Hock together and struggling on. on.Such is but ono tf the ninny worthy uiiOs ' whom the committee aru finding out.'and to whom relief \yill bo given. .Those who have contributed of their ' means lo furnixli relief to the suffering thoulil ruali/.o that thu ruul work fulla vn those who have to distribute , > nnd the co'mmittce , instead of being n target for fault-finding , should receive the sympa thy and the cordial support of all. I hey are using wisdom ami faro iu distribut- inpand nro entitled lo the confidence nnd help of all in this work , as in the ghing.

J'athcr Lcnahcn , pnslor of St. Mary's Cathliq church , Sioux Cily , has announced his intention of leaving his charge and entering n Jesuit college in St. Louis. The reverend father is well known in Council Hlndd , and lias fre quently occupied the pulpit in Father McMenony's church. His friends hero are numbered by ( lie score , and his de parture from llie scenes and friendships of many years labors will bo sincerely re- grrltod by all. The Sioux CityJournal of Sunday gives Iho following account of a farewell call on Father l/enelian : An adjourned mooting of the friends of PalliiM' I.euHian met nl Justice Foley'H olllco last I'Viuiiug to receive the reports of committees and to take final action expressive of lln-ir paslor , who is aboul lo leave Sioux t'ity. The linauro eommillco reported re- ceipls amotmling lo fittM/iO. The com- milieu on resolutions through Us chair- mail , Mr. James I' . Wall , reported the following resolutions , which were unani mously adopted : Whereas , Kev. H. f. Lonchan , rector of St. Mary's Uatholle church , who for many years has labored among us in the scrvioo of ( ! od , is about to leave Sioux City for another lield of duly ; and Whereas , 15y Ids great xcal. eloquence and broad and liberal charily he has en deared himself to all the people of Sioux City of every creed ; therefore bo It Itcsolved , That wo part from him with deep regret , regret which mere words can but poorly express ; that our prayers and best wishes shall bo with him for his temporal and eternal happiness ; thalrec- ogm/ing the usefulness ot his life , a life devoted to his spiritual labors and not to the accumulation of the world's ' goods , and solicltions of his temporal comfort , wo lender him Ihis loken of our au'oetion , urging ils acceptance in Iho same spirit 'in ' which wo oiler it. The finance and resolutions commit tees , numbering fifteen gentlemen , then proceeded to Father Lcnolian's resilience , where the presentation was made on be half of the meeting , of the father's friends , and the people of Sioux City gen erally , by John Brennan , who was ap pointed lor that purpose. lcspon ivo lo some brief remarks by Mr. Hreiinan , Father Lcnchan replied in language , and manner so feeling as to bring tears to the eyes of the visitors. He said that ho expected the kindly impression that had been made by his friends , but the financial part of it was unexpected. Ho should soon retire from Iho labors of the parish priest to enter an institution wiiere lie might impart to young men intended for the prioslhood the experiences of eighteen years in the prioslhood If ho were lo occupy Hie position of pastor and eould have a choice of localioii , there is _ no parish within the juri-dietion of the bishop that ho could select in place of Sioux Cjty. In conclusion he expressed his gratitude and allcction for the people of Sioux City and his sincere regret at parting with them. All About Avocii. AVOOA. Town , Jan. 25. Weather topic exhausted. Once in a while we hear of a train that lias succeeded in shoveling its way through. The coal and ice men are the only happy ones , the demand for coal keep ing the former busy , while our ice houses are being filled with some very nice ice by the hitler. The alarm felt among our ice consumers in the early part of the winter that there would bo none lit to put up has long .since van ished , and they arc almost pursuadedto think from present indications that there will be plenty of ice six months hence. Sleighing would be fine but for the drills , making the roads aloiiHlnnpasas- ble in places. F. G. llctxel , ourg popular hardware man , nevertheless bails around town in anew now culler.

The cily council did'not , got a qliorum \vterday afternoon iiml adjournment was taken until Hid , regular monthly meeting next Monday 'night. The delay is a serious one lo some of tlio business pending before the council , Thord is tlio ordinance in regard to Iho cleaning of snow from streets. That lias not been passed beyond a second reading. The indications of n lliaw'shown ' yesterday , made inoro apparent Iho necessity of having everything arranged so ns lo pre vent flooding of streets. There is a largo quantity of MIOW , more limn has been on llio slrccls of Council Bluffs for years. When Ibis goes , if allowed lo remain ns now piled ii ) ) , U may cause serious trou ble , especially If the lhaw is a rapid ono. There was considerable work donejes - lerday by private parlies. Some of the gullers wore cleaned out , where Iho snow was piled nigh. If allowed lo remain a. thaw would cau emany a basement to bo Hooded , if Ibis were not done. Many Will neglect Ibis nnlll required to do so by law. Another serious mailer pending before the council is the proposed extension ot Hie new sewer ditcli , so as lo have an out let outli of Ihe city. At present Iho ditch has no fall ami no outlet , and there seems to be noprevcntatlve of thopiescnl ditch filling up and overllowing , in case of rains and thaws. About $ ' . ' 1,000 has been spent in making the ditch tints far. It is estimated that ll will cost $ V)00 ) more lo extend it to an outlet. Already the ditch has filled up , owing to the lack of an outlet , and about $0,000 has been .snout in re- digging the ditcli. The old council wanted to extend the ditch south of the limits and ' -ceiiro the needed outlet , but did not feel that the eily could afford lo dosolbon. As a rc.Milt of this econom ical delay the eily has had to pay extra almost as much as it would have cost to have made Ihe extension last year. Still there remains the work to be done. If not done there is n probability not only of tin in age by Hoods , but also ol Iho ditch filling up again , ncces'ilaling another expenditure of several thousand dollar : ! , perhaps. In view of such possibilities it .seems that the council should act prompl- Iv , and decide either to extend the ditcher or to take some other course , as-may .scorn besLumler all the circumstances. Another important feature of the mat ter is that Mitchell Vincent , who has had the contract for the work thus far , claims the conlraet for the extension of tlio ditch. The city attorney has given his opinion that Midi is Iho case , but the council look at the matter dijferontly , and have been advertising for bids. Mr. Vincent has a largo force hero , and is anxious logo lo work as .soon as possi ble. The intimation is made that the citv may bo involved in a suit for damages if great care is not taken in acting on the mailer. All those complications 'com to render the situation too much of a crisis' to warrant the aldermen in absenting themselves from meetings of the council. - i - The Old Xest. A. short lime ago Frwldie Gerstenbcrg was senl lo jail foil ten days for assault ing his wife. His * conviction was due largely lo the testimony of his old bar tender , Jim Harvey , ly revenge Gersten- berg squealed on Har.vey , and claimed that Harvey , witlroneJim Brady , .stole a dead deer from Louie < te Mel/ger's meat house , in the rear , of their restaurant. Inquiry led to the information that a short time ago Unit linn lost a deer , which seemed to corroborate Gerstcnbcrg's story. The two men wore arrested , but they deny the charge , and say Geraten- berg is the ono who stole it , and that it was taken to his place and there cut up. Harvey has been arrested before on dif ferent charges , most of them of a trivial nature. Brady lias aNo been under ar rest for petty offences , but has thus far escaped punishment , Itcoins that the Gcrsteiibergs have been having a ne.st which ought lo have been broken up long asro. They have been piling up costs in the courl.s on account of their family difficulties until it has reached a point whore the nonsense should slop , and summary measures should be taken to cither make them slop or else keep be yond the city limits.
