The rumor that J. J. Bolin , of Mace
donia , had died , which was so eagerly
picked up by the evening papers , seems
to have started from the fact that his
daughter received a telegram Saturday
informing her of the death of _ her father-
in-law , the telegram reading that her
father was dead. Air. ISolin is in usual

-The ease of Wills vs Kulils , which at
tracted much attention in the superior
court last week , has ended in the jury
bringing in a verdict giving the plain-
till' $ M2. The plaintiff Micd. on two notes ,
amounting to about $500 , and the chief
question seemed to bo whether the two
notes were legal obligations or not. The
jury could not agree , except by coming
to a compromise on the amount , which
verdict will not bo satisfactory to either
party , and both seem anxious for a new
trial.

ing at the opera house as Galatea. She
showed heself to bo very strong , es-
.pecialjy in the emotional passages , and
an artist of great dramatic genius. The
company was an excellent ono , and the
play was presented in a manner winch
called forth much enthusiasm on the
part of the audience. This evening tlio

The miblic should show its appreciation

The circuit court is to open to-day. It
ii is probable that the saloon cases will be
given an early hc.iringt and much interest
is felt as to whether injunctions will be
granted or not. The prohibitionists are
confident that Judge Connor will order
the writs issued , and tlio saloon nifin
seem to be afraid that such will he the
case , as none of them are paying any of
their good money into the city treasury

ns the revenues of the city are concerned ,
the city i.s not getting any such direct
from the saloons as they have for months
past , all refusing to pay any more license
lor the present.

Political Prattle.
John Jay L'ralney deiiisi that ho has
any aspirations for tlio position of judge
of tlio superior court. If ho keeps out of
the race Judge Ajlesworth will have
little trouble in securing the democratic
nomination for that place. Ho will
brcatlio easier , no doubt , on account of
Krainey's declination.
There will probably bo little struggle
for ono olllcc , that of city auditor. There
seems iv general concession that the pres
ent occupant. Squire Itnrkc , will bu
allowed to retain that place. Ho is an
old and faithful servant of the people , is
accurate and honest , and whatever trust
is placed in his hands is never betrayed
or neglected. So far as street talk goes ,
there seems no disposition on tlio part of
anyone to make objection to declaring
Auditor Uurko elected unanimously , even
before a ballot is cast.
There seems to bo a great deal of
trouble in getting good men started in
tlio mayoralty race. There is a general
desire to get homo representative , active ,
honest man for mayor , irrespective of
parly. Many names are mentioned , and
of those talked of many would refuse to
have their mimes considered for u
moment. I ! : " ! ' " Mutn ! I Tronit ! * C VCIT
acceptable to many and could bo elected
without hardly any opposition , but it is
generally understood that lie stands just
where ho did two years ago , and that ho
would absolutely refuse to consider tlio
the matter in any ways favorable. J. W.
Poregoy is another 'business man whom
all would gladly sco made mayor , but ho
is said to bo as firm in his
refusal as , tlio former. 1) ) . C. lUoom-
or , Dr. Lawrence , Aid. Siedcntopf ,
J. C. Dollavon , J2. T. Lindsoy and other
business men of excellent standing hero
are mentioned , but so far as known they
have no desire for tlio ollicc , and such
talk is made by the people and not by
themselves.V. \ . C. James is strongly
talked of as the probable democratic nom
inee , while others predict that Robert
1'croival will bo given tlio nomination.
Tiioro seems some doubt as to whether
tlio present mayor will run again or not ,
but the clitmccs tire aaraiiiSt inin mm lie
is probably sharp enough to keep out of
the race " It is said , however , that if
Robert Percival should run for mayor ,
Vaughiin Will step out as an independent
candidate and try to defeat him , tlioro
being some personal feeling back of this.
A number of citizens in tlio Fourth want
have suggested the name of Lucius
Wells , o ? Deere , Wells & Co. He is a
democrat , and is a sharp , active , sound-
bcnsnd business man , who is by no means
a politician , and is not ambitious or en
tangled in polities. If ho could bo in
duced to allow his name to bo used ho
would receive tlio haiuNomo endorsement
of many of the leading men of both par
ties.
ties.Tlio oflico of city marshal is a rich
plum for sonic one. The present incum
bent , Gnanella , will gladly receive a ro-
noinumtion at tlio hands of the demo
crats. J. A. Churchill is also talked of as
a probable candidate. The old marshal ,
E. W. Jackson , is talked of as coming to
the front again. Ho has a htrong follow
ing , and if ho enters the race it will take
a speedy candidate to pass him. Tlioro
is a strong probability of tlio oflico of
chiet of police being united with that of
city marshal the coming year. If it can
bo arranged , whoever is elected city mar
shal will oo appointed chief ot iiohee , as
is done in oilier cities. This will do away
with much of the friction which lias al
ways been caused by attempting to keep
up iwo forces having much work in coin
mon. It will make the ollico of city
marshal a more important and lucrative
ono , and the prospect of this union will
cause a sharper contest to get Iho oflico
For aldermen ihero is a bwarm of can
didates too many to enumerate. Many
names are whispered , the owners of
which are not anxious , and some of them
would not accept. There are enough ,
however , of those having aldermanic am
bition , so that the race will not be declared
oil' bocanso it did not fill. Aldermanio
candidates are as legion.

The report of the committee on the
police matters was referred to the mayor ,
for him to take such action as ho might
doom Lost , bo being the head of police by
virtue of his oflico. Ho sent a copy of
tlio report to his chief of police , accom
panying il by a note , asking Iho chief lo
make Mich an explanation as ho should
desire before judgment was passed : The
chief has answered as follows :

An attempted contidence game lias just
leaked out as having occurred on the
Kansas City roud , just tlio other side of
Pacific Junction , A young man and his
sister were coming lo Council Ululls ,
called hither by the bad news of the death
of a relative , ono of this city's business
men. In the binokingcar the joimgumn
fell into conversation with a man pre
tending to bo a wholesale liquor dealer ,
doing business in the Ulufl's. On learn
ing that the young man was coming to
this city he became very communicative
and agreeable , and when the young man
told him his sad mission ho was struck
almost dumb with surprise and sorrow.
Of course he know the deceased ; ho had
done n great deal of blisinc s with him ;
ho was shocked to learn of his death ; in
quired all Iho particulars , and Urns so
gained the young man's confidence by
liis showing of sympathy and sorrow that
the latter was thrown oil'his guard. Soon
the pretended liquor dealer asked the
young man to cash aiiheek for him so
that ho could settle some freight bill ,
The young man found that ho had not
quite enough money to cash the chock ,
and .stopped back into the oilier car to
get the additional amount from his sister.
J'ho sister s.ivcd him. She aski-d her
brother if ho had gone cra/.y entirely ,
and told him it musl be a confidence
gamo. licing put on his guard by tlio
feminine good sense ho returned nnd
told the liquor man ho could not accom
modate him. At tlio next station , Pacific
Junction , tlio confidence man got oil' the
train and disappeared.

True Charity.
COUNCU. Hi.ui'KS , Fob. 14. To the Edi
tor of the Hun Will the reporters of tlio
Nonpareil who gave such an elaborate
display of words about the Wood family
pleuso define tlio word "charity ? " Not
only the word , but the meaning , islofton
misunderstood. Those that are the loud
est to talk charity are those last to help.
To say the least , that is a poor kind
that sends a family round tlio country to
shirk responsibilities. In Kansas City ,
crowded as a big city usually is with
poor , they could not get a house. If the
ou'iii' ! , " llC"1 them they would have to
Do' separated. They1 WeN5 5nl1n lo tllc
depot to stop when their money was
gone , They were passed hero to go on
their way to Stewart , Hut their lurni-
ture was getting mortgaged for all it was
worth by treight charges. The child was
very .sick , and something had to bo done.
I doctored the child , gave thum room
and board for three < lays till they got a
liouso. Now , by the help given they
have a chance to prove themselves. The
old man is nearly past work , but tuo wo
man promises to work. Lot them com
mence life hero without tlio usual un
charitable kick. 1 think if wo employed
ourselves by following the great Master's
teaching by kind actions it would be bet
tor than insinuations.
The family in question live near the
high school , and will bo glad of work or
Mich assistance as the charitable are in
clined to give. Mits. B. ,

The project of organizing a company
with $100,000 , capital , for the encourage
ment of manufacturing in Council Blufls ,
has been allowed to rest for several days
past. The committee having it in charge
have found it is too slow work to raise
tlio necessary amount in small subscrip
tions , and t is now thought that an effort
to get twenty men to take the whole of it
will succeed. There are a number who
will not go into the company if it is to bo
so cumbersome , but who arc willing to
take a largo slice of the stock , if the com
pany is composed of a few only instead
of being made unwieldy by the member
ship being to large. There are surely
twenty men in this city who could take
$5,000 each , and not feel any strain in
making the investment. If this enter
prise can bo successfully started it will be
one of tlio greatest helps to the city.
Many fool that Council HI nil's needs such
impetus , hut those who are moat enthusi
astic about it are not the ones who have
the means to invest. Tlio matter is not
to be dropped , and ought not to be , until
at least one more effort is made in this
direction.

There was no quorum at the city coun
