,7. L. Dullioy , of Kalis City Nebraska ,
editor of the Leader , was in the city
yesterday visiting his brother.
T. A. Clark , locating cndnocr of tins
Union 1'acilie , spent Sunday with his
family in this city and has gone to Kear
ney , Nebraska , to look after some busi ;
ness there.
Two men were yesterday lined in the
police court for fast driving. .Just how
they succeeded in driving last over tlm
streets as they are at present is a fcccret
which they won't give away.
Lester Lane , one of the pupils of the in-
fitltullon for the deaf and dumb from
Dallas county , died on Monday. The
funeral services were hold yesterday
forenoon , conducted , by the pastor of the
Congregational church , Hev. Air. Crofts.
The remains were laid at rest in the insti
tution cemetery.
BProf. Lynclmrd. who has been busying
mself with hunting for causes of tliu
"red smow" found in Council Dntl'd
seems satisfied with the explanation given
by the HKI : that it was the re.stilt of a. . spill
of red mineral paint. Ho has nothing
more to say about his wonderful scien
tific discovery.
There has been alittlo Hurry in Pacific
Jnnclion over the saloon question. Ar-
rnngemeiits were made by which the sa
loons wcro to bo allowed to rim on the
payment of $25 a month. Of the four
saloons one paid , the oilier three holding
out. Tlds caused dissatisfaction , and
this has rosuHed in tlio closing up of all
the saloons.
Miss Ueobe entertained the Merry
Thinkers at her homo Monday night.
There were about thirty present and the
evening was merrily spent. Ono of tlio
leading features of enjoyment was an
t > ld-fasliioned candy pull. There was
'also music , Miss Hceho favoring the com
pany with a solo , and the Merry Think
ers joining in some rousing choruses.
The young folks .seemed to enjoy them
selves greatly.
The funeral of Alex Urnber was held
yesterday afternoon. It was learned
that the wife and daughter had changed
their residence from Folio , to Minneapo
lis , and : i telegram sent to thorn at the
latter place brought n response saying ,
"Give him decent burial , and write par
ticulars of death. " This request not'boing
in conflict with the arrangement * already
made , the funeral service was held as an
nounced.
Two boys named Duffy , whose father
rents an Everett farm in Norwalk town
ship , were arrested and brought before
Justice Sclmrx for throwing stones at a
passing train on the Rock Island. Ono
stone struck tlio window of the cab of
- the locomotive , breaking the glass and
i endangering tlio engineer. The older
| boy was lined and tlio younger dis-
i charged. Tlio lesson will probably do
| both good.

the institution for the deaf nnd
Sate
umb , did not arrive hero yesterday , nnd
| the time of their coming teems a matter
I of doubt. Mr. L. Weinstein , one of the
I trustees , arrived yesterday , and another
1 was expected last evening. It isundcr-
| stood tfiat the trustees are anxious for a ,
I full and frco investigation , and to have
I the axe hew to the line , no matter where
1 the chips fall. Prof. Hammond seems
i also ready to have the fullest investign-
1 tiou.

3 Lackman , at Mankato , Minnesota , Satur-
3 day evening , by an explosion. Lackman
I was inspecting a barrel , and as ho placed
| a lighted candle at tlio bung hole the explosion -

| was burned so badly ho died in a short
I time.

I nnimiils. The eases were brought to
| i Justice Hundricks' court on a change of

| ' missed. It seems that there was little to

The lady was quietly seated reading ,

until the hosn carls and lircnum began to

her that liu thought the chimney was
burning out. "I shouldn't wonder it it

her scat very deliberately to see about it.
Her calmness wua in refreshing contrast
with llio "hurrah boys" who had gathered

COUNCIL BLUFFS , Keb. 0 , 1830. [ To
the Editor. ] In your issno of Februry 5
appears a letter from Edwin Booth , of
Anamosa , Iowa , giving what pretends
to bo a short history of the deaf and
dumb Institution at Council HlulTH. In
that letter Mr. Booth takes occasion to
continue a bitter warfare against mo
which ho has been waging for the past
live years. Heretofore t have quietly
submitted to his insults because he is an
old man in his dotage , nnd also because
he is f. deaf mute. But in this instance
"forbearance ceases to bo a virtue , " for
ho has seen lit to makoscvcial false state
ments , and to drag mo again before the
public in an unpleasant and false light ,
1 no\v fool that 1 owe it to the public , as
well as to myself , to correct his state-
inonlit ! Ull-l believing that 1 understand
the ainmoiis of his letter. I wish to slate
nlahily why it was written at just this
time.
First of all I wish to thank Mr. Booth
for admitting that I "nossi-ssed a certain
cflicieney. " Such n .statement is highly
edifying from that sourer , for I think ho
has never before admitted it. The next
thing 1 notice is the statement that I was
of "no value save as an irritant. " los
ho mean by this that 1 attracted drew ,
was a sort of counter-irritant. Again ,
many thanks for the compliment , i'er-
has | ) this miahty was what made my ad
ministration so healthy anil vimmm , till
ing every room and bed in tlio hnusu
with pupils and kuenhi" them in almost
norfeet health , and always ready for
hard work in , tlio school room ami
in the industrial departments. 1
look nack with great pleasure , in
the belief that i did everything in my
power to make the pupils feel that the
institution was a homo as well as a.school ,
and that 1 always thought of them as my
family. Perhaps it was this quality that
has drawn from the parents and friends
of the pupils so manv expressions of
gratitude for the rapid progress the
pupils made in thcii studies and the
dndly treatment they received during
my administration , lint 1 may betaken
taken about his moaning , and'yet I feel
sure he cannot mean that I have an
jrritablu disposition. Alter having lived
in Iowa most of the time for thirty-two
years , I think my reputation for being
one of the best naturcd men in the state
is well established
"On his election for a fourth year , and
his wife as matron , four of the best and
most valuable teachers handed in their
resignations. " I was elected for the
fourth year and my salary was raised
1300 , but I am sure no teacher handed in
a resignation. I was secretary of tlio
board of trustees , and would haveknown
such a thin } ' if it were true. Two of the
teachers did not apply for a position tor
the next year. Governor Sherman , in
Ills message to the legislature two years
ago , said : "The only reason they sought
places elsewhere was because other status
paid higher salaries th.m Iowa could. " I
did not give this information to the gov
ernor , and as ho was well acquainted
with these teachers ho must have obtained
it from them. It may bo that one of those
teachers left the institution because I
was re-elected for another year. lie
was a son of Mr. Booth. For thrco con
secutive years ho hud sought in various
ways to drive mo out because lie wanted
my position , and I have always thought
this conspiracy had its headquarters in
Anamosa. It sometimes seemed that
nothing was loft undone that could add
to my burdens or make my position em
barrassing , and yet in order to satisfy
this ambitious young man , I took him
from a low grade class and promoted him
over the heads of good ana experienced
teachers until lie taught the highest and
most desirable class in the institution.
But all this did not satisfy him and per
haps he left Iowa because I would
not resign in his favor. He
sought a position elsewhere and when ho
found that he could not obtain a desirable
Eluco without any recommendation bo
umblcd himself enough to ask for it ,
and received one that satisfied the board
of the Philadelphia institution. In this
institution they placed so high an esti
mate on the young man's ability that ho
was given a class of young girls to teach.
Miss Van Tassell , the other teacher
who left us , saw lit during the year to
marry a very nice gentlemanami I hope
has found the happiness she has so richly
merited. Prof. Kennedy ilid not think
of leaving the institution until after
I resigned. Our friendship from
the beginning was strong and
has continued without interruption
until the present. When he saw my res
ignation in print he came directly to me
and said , "I am .sorry , I think you have
make u mistake. " He went to the Illi
nois institution because ho was oilerctl
$000 more than we could pay him.
Prof Blattncr went to the Colorado in
stitution as principal , but not untlll well
along in the next .school year ,
Fourteen out of the sixteen teachers
that were elected for another year ex-
prosed either in writing or orally their
sincere regrets on hearing of my resigna
tion.
tion.My wife was xor elected matron. She
had acted in that capacity during H
vacancy , and after Mr. Booth's insulting
insinuation , I am compelled to say that
her uniform kindness to the deaf ehildrnu
in our family always found a response in
their atl'oction , and while thn responsi
bility rested upon lior no child wont hun
gry or cold , nor could one bo very long
sick without her Knowledge and eli'ort to
relievo.
"A threat of exposure by the rditor of
a certain inlhientiul daily brought them
( the board ) together and a vote to
dismiss the superintendent was the re
sult. " This statement i entirely fnlio.
I convened the board regularly , moot-
.ing the president. Hon. B.T , Clayton , in
Glohwood for that purpose. After at
tending to regular business 1 presented
my resignation. The board had
never intimated to me that
they desired such a thing. No one on
earth had been consulted in the matter
but my wife anil my pastor , Hov. Cyrus
Hamlln. Allow me to quote from the
Nonpunel of July 10 , 188 ; ) . Beferring to
my resignation it said :
This will be a surprise to tlio many
friends ot t ho superintendent who has boon
so quiet about the matter that it had not
been known before of his intention to re
sign , lie is a minister of capacity mid
pulpit power and no doubt contemplates
returning to his chosen profession. His
many friends in Council Blutl's will wish
him well in his future career.
I promised the board to do everything
in my power to aid them in securing an
experienced man for the place , hoping
that such a man would remove the last
cause for complaint and lead the institu
tion in a line of prosperity it had never
known. One more thought ami I will
stop. "Intimations roach me from time
to time that Mr. Hammond is not the
man for the place. " Is this another echo
from Anamosa in the line of an old fam
ily ambition ? Does it mean that Mr ,
Booth's candidate Is yet in the field V

Money to loan by Forest Smith.
A "Poor" Police Force.
The attempt to raise money and aid lor
the poor of the city has been very suc
cessful , but like most attempts of the
kind , it has not been unattended with
friction , nnd some cause for criticism.
The mayor got his police force to go about
in sleighs gathering up clothing , provi
sions and cash , and quite a quantity of
aid was thus obtained. The conlribu-
tions consisted mostly t of clothing nnd
provisions , and the supplies were placed
in the olllco of the chief of police until
turned over to the committee to dis
tribute. Now it appears that some who
gave old clothing , overcoats , etc. , claim
to have recognized some of their oiler-
ings being worn by the police themselves.
The charge has rajsed quite a Hurry
among the constellation.
At police headquarters yesterday tlicro
was a sort of class-mooting , in which
different members of the police force re
lated their experiences , nnd "fcsscd. "
The UKB man was an interested listener.
Chief Skinner said : "This stun" was to
be gitcn away to the poor , and who in
the world is any poorer than thr police ?
It is said in the Bible , 1 believe , that
charity commences at home. Horn were
these things piled up here , and why
shouldn't tlio boys help themselves ? I
didn't get any thing. 1 believe there was
a can of mackerel , or something of that
sort , that was opened here for lunch. 1
got a taste of it , not much more than a
sinull. 1 thought that was all right' . The
boys were hungry and half frozen , and so
opened up a little lunch. "
Captain Walters , who is said to have
secured an overcoat and one or more
undercoats , declared that he had rustled
around in the cold and got n lot of things
together , and had distributed a number
ot the bundles to * needy persons. " 1
don't denv but that I helped myself tote
to what 1 wanted. I took one coat and
gave it to a fellow who is working at the
harness business for his board and who
needed it badly. I distributed several
other things to persons whom 1 knew
needed it. Let them roar if they want to.
There is nothing to roar about , but that
is the way always in such an affair as
this. "
Policeman Kirk said that ho had
swapped his overcoat for one that had
been sent in. Ho thought his coat would
do just as well for ( riving : jiway as the
one in the pile. Tliif coat ho took was a
better lit , but was not much better airy
other way. If they would send back his
coat he would give up this one.
It had got whispered about that some
one of the police 1'orcu must have given
the thing away. Suspicion had fallen on
Ofljccr O'Brien. He came into the room
while the class meeting was in progress.
Ho denied that he bad squealed , but ad
mitted that he had said that rather than
have the whole force blamed ho would
give away just who did take anything
and how they took it. Some one sug
gested that tlio reason ho did not take
anything was because he did not find a
lit. "That's just it , " said O'Brien , "if 1
had found anything that luted me , and I
neceded it , 1 should have taken it , you
bet , and you can put that in youi paper
and put my name to it if you want. "
Ollicer Siimllon then dropped in. The
BEI : man asked him how much he got
outofthe charity fund , "About $10 , "
ho jocosely remarked. Then as ho
noticed the note book pulled out he
straightened up and said : "Now see
hero , don't .voti go to mixing my name
up in this all'air. I didn't have anything
to do with it trom beginning to end , and
any man who says I did will have a
chance to climb my frame. I * won't
stand it. " The BKB man concluded it
was best to comply with the request.
Ollicer Bfswick was met on the street.
He declared ho had nothing to say about
it. He was not concerned in it , got noth
ing and so long as he was clear on the
record , he would let the others look after
their own records.
The other members of the force were
not seen. Suflieicnt was learned to
make it quito apparent that some of the
police force had helped themselves to
what they needed and that they justified
their conduct. It is by no moans likely
that the public will bo thus easily satis
fied. There is a general denial that pro
visions , groceries , etc. , were taken , but
as to clothing it spoms to have been
sorted over before placed in the hands
of the committee for distribution. It is
a small matter when looked on in one
way , but in another light is a most ser
ious one.
From the expressions on the part of the
chief of police it seems that that official
docs not intend taking any action about
it. The mayor , as the roalhcadof police ,
may conclude to investigate the affair
and mete out some punishment , but it is
hardly probable. It seems that he must
bo impressed with the strange contrast
between the initiatory month of his ad
ministration and the closing one , It will
bo remembered that when ho came into
power he and his police force nniiormed
in broadcloth , their breasts decorated with
with badges of honor , and , in accordance
widely spread advertisements , a dress
parade was had , the mayor and his force
marching through the principal streets ,
showing their new clothus and stepping
proudly to the music of the band. The
march ended at a photograph gallery ,
where a large picture was taken. As a
companion picture the force should now
bo photographed , drcMsed in motley ar
ray , rummaging over piles of old clothes
contributed for the poor , trading over
coats , lunching from the canned good > ,
ami titling themselves up from the char
ily fund for a now start in life. Sneh in
the change which two years brings.

COUNCIL BLUFFS , Fob , 8 , [ To the Kdi-
tor of the BEE ] Aladdin had a wonder
ful lamp , by rubbing which ho could ob
tain whatever ho Dinted. The average
politician seems to regard , or at least ,
hold the two political parties with very
much the same feeling upon this
modern lump. But unfortunately the
rubbing must bo done according to a act
formula , and this requisite formula is
what is pii7.7.1ing us now ; now at the door
of our future life as a city.
\Vo \ all admit the desire to do better on
the part of a largo nYajoMty of our voters ,
as manifested a year "ago " , and wo nearly
all can see that we cannot build up a city
upon the ruin of our own people , whether
so ruined by gambling , drinking , bur
dened taxation , floods , gas monopoly , or
any other way. Wo go together to raise
money to promote manufacturing , but
we cannot offer the same protection nnd
benefits ns a commiinily as other cities
can. In short , something l.s lacking that
is detrimental to us. What is it ? Why ,
it is a unity of action as .citizens . to pro
mote and foster onr welfare. It is a
shameful violation of the rights of a portion
tion of our law-abiding citizens. It Is n
spent , drifting policy of city government ,
t lint has consisted of men entirely Igno
rant of tlioir sworn duties , and it is
after this , our own lack of confidence
and energy , to raise above party affilia
tions , and go logether In mass meetings
not as parly members , but as citizens of
Council Bluffs nnd put a man like Pusoy ,
Dr. Lawrence , or in short a strong man
at the head of this city government.
Then surround him with men of honesty ,
energy and intelligence as aldermen , en
force the laws , keep the peace and com
mand the respect of the city. Let us
then wipe out u few oppressive monopo
lists , have fair taxation , one kind of
money for all and we will prosper.
Let us rise as citizens not as republi
cans , democrats or workingmen , letu
have free , not curtailed speech , and wo
pledge our honest name for it that even
the abu ed workinginaii will as well as
others redeem the'iunio of Council Bluffs
from future degradation.
