" Sunday morning Alien Vnnco , the four year old daughter of Frank Covnlt , died at her home. The funeral will be held at her homo on Harrison street this after noon nt ! ! o'clock. J. M. Alattliows , formerly county super intendent , is being named as one of tlio possible candidates as member of the school board.

Jl will then bo quite handy to the largo implement hous'es on lower Main street , as well as in a con venient location to make a run up town. Harry Inmfin. who was mentioned in the UCB yesterday as being anxious to support Vmighan tor mayor , rises to a correction , lie says ho is not making tickets or mixing in politics , but is con- lining liis attention to his own business , nml leaving , political matters to others. The circuit court yesterday closed the case of Stein against the city and gave it to the jury. Adjournment was then taken until this morning. This gave an opportunity for the clearing up of the hall in the afternoon and arranging for the Knights Templar ball last evening. The Knights Templar last evening gave their ball and banquet in Masonic mill. It was a brilliant nllalr , largely attended , not only by the best of Council Ulnll's so cial circles , but also by a number of prominent people from elsewhere. The dime museum opened last availing. and witn many attractive features and novelties added from time to time , it promises to prove a popular resort for the people. The rink is centrally located , and there seems no reason why the enter prise should not prove ft success every Way. Way.Mr. Mr. Theodore Bookman yesterday made arrangements for bringing the father-in-law Mr. Christian body of his - - , Meyer , from Omaha to this city for burial. The body will bo brought over on the 11 o'clock dummy train to-day , and will be taken from the Broadway depot to Fail-view cemetery direct , Mr. Bookman having purchased a lot tiiero. Mr. Moyor's two sons , Fred Meyer and William Meyer , both of Glenwood , have been notified by telegraph. A team attached to one of Seaman's express wagons came up Main street yesterday noon on a dead run , and as the team turned west on Broadway Harrison Price , who had been standing on the corner , jumped out in the btreet and caught one of the horses by the head. In so doing ho slipped and lell , the heavy truck in passing just missing him. He got up covered with mud , after barely escaping with his lifo. Two men then mounted tlio seat of the truck and' drove It south on Main street to get rewarded by the driver who had then not learned of the runaway. Sunday night Rov. T. J. Mackoy preached the lirst of his sermons on .the labor question , or perhaps more properly called Sunday night lectures. Ho took up some of the planks on which the Knights of Labor stand , and showed clearly some of the truths contained in them. So far as thin discourse went it was quite satisfactory to the members of that qrganl/.ation. Whether ho will dif fer with them on some other of their principles remains to bo seen from his iuturo lectures. One thing is pretty cer tain , ho wijl toll honestly what ho thinks of them , without regard to how it hits or pleases. 1'crsonnl I'arncraplis. H. B.

At tlio Methodist church Sunday night there was a very large audience to listen to Rov. Dr. McCivary on "Tho Gambling Dens of Council Bluffs. " The reverend speaker took off his gloves and called things by what lie : it least considered their right names. Many in tlio audience doubtless could not ngrco with nil the learned pastor faid , but all must have been impressed with the fact that ho spoke what ho believed to be the truth , and without any regard to any tender corns on other people's toes. Ho chose for his text : "Whoso is simple , let him turn in hither. " He said that sin was ono of the oldest things in tlio world. It was found everywhere , no quarter of the globe , however secluded , boinu free from Its gloomy outlines , the shades being darker and blacker in some places , but still tlio same terribly results everywhere. Gambling was among tlio old forms of Bin. On the obelisks and tombs of the Egyptians , before the time of written language , appeared the llgnni- live showing , of games of hu/.ard. Homo even when it ruled the world with a rod of iron could not rule its own passion for gambling. Greece witli all its literature ami art could not keep from squandering time and wealth on games of cliance. There were several reasons for this passion of gambling. One was a desire to get a dollar without sweat. Ever .since the divine benediction , which many called a curse , that man should earn his bread bv-tho sweat of his brow , man had been trying to got around it , or ( lodge it. They all wanted to cat bread made from the whitest of the wheat , but they didn't like tlio sweating. These gamblers al ways got the whitest of tie ! wheat , but their victims did the sweating. Another reason for the passion of gambling was the excitement which attended it. It seemed to start a fever in the blood which could not bo allayed. Men coiilu often stop drinking easier than they could stop gambling. The passion for gain was often the stronger. The city authorities knew that those dens were running and just where thov were located. Those ollicials had taken a solemn oath to enforce the laws , but they had not the backbone , the manli ness to stir oven a linger or make tlio slightest move to keep this solemn oath. The trouble was not altogether with the officials , nor with the keepers of these dens , but was in the public sentiment which allowed them to < run openly. It was common to call them " sporting men. " They ousrht to bo called thieves. A spade should bo called a spade. Tne speaker then proceeded to outline some of the forms of gambling. The reg ular dons were pictured , the cappers de nounced as worse than highwaymen , be ing less manly 'and more wicked. Boys were allowed to play. The speaker did not think the blame was altogether with tlio boys , or witli the gamblers , but that the parents were responsible. There was no use for parents losing their authority over hmootli-faced boys. Ho would smile to see a stripling belonging to his homo run the streets. These dens were not the only ruinous gambling places. Thcro wore private poker rooms , causing bank ; . ruptcy to many business men. They" failed not for want of patronage , not be cause of lack of business ability , but be cause they gambled. Then there were other gambling places. Parlors brilliant ly lighted , tlio very best people of the city gathered there , hero an Episcopalian , there a Baptist , yonder a Methodist , church members at tables gambling. So ciety called it a progressive euchre party. I'ri/.cs were offered , and they played a game of chance for pain. That made it gambling , no matter what it was called. It mattered not whether a man played for a dollar or for : v porcelain kettle , a little jug , probably a brown ono , it was all gambling. Instead , of calling such an organiza tion a "married ladies progressive euchre club , " it should bo called a "married ladies gambling club. " Instead of calling such a club a .young folks' progressive euchre club , " why notcall things by their right names , aild call it "a , young folks' gambling club. " Ho had been saddened and surprised to sec in the papers the names of some of his church members as having won some of these prizes. It was as bad as the soldiers who at tlio foot of tlio cross cast lots for the garments of the dying Christ. It was a disgrace. This was plain talk , but those who did not like it could think less of it. lie proposed to tell the truth. There wore some good folks who had cards in their homes. Ho did not bo- liovi ) this was right. Cards wore the devil's book , and known as such the world over. A Christian had no business playing with the devil's tools. Wherever you find a pack of cards and a Bible in a homo you would find the cards well thumbed and tlio Bible hardly touched. A do/.an packs of cards would bo worn out and thu Bible look as good as new. Some played cards to kill time. Tlioso who killed time murdered eternity. God did not give us' time to kill. It was to bo used in improvement and helping others. How ridiculous for a father to say , "Well , lot's stop this y a mo of oucliro and liava family prayers. " Praying and card- playing did not go together. In regard to these forms of sin "Who so simple , let him turn in hither. " When iv 111 nu entered a gambling don let him write over his forehead "simpleton , " The lady who was about to join a sooiai card party or join in progressive cnchro should place across her forehead "simple- ton. Tlioso who wanted to bo wise should devote their tlmo and abilities to otiier tilings. Shi in all its forms should bo shunned. It should bo fought boldly nnd continually.

Chap man as its head , there have been many mutterings heard about it among repub licans. Some claim that it is demoralizing to have the republican party abandon its organization , oven in city matters , others object to the candidates elected. Yesterday - terday a move was put on foot to have a republican citp convention called. The city committco did not seem to know whether to call ono or not , some repub licans pulling ono way , others tlio op posite way. Finally n petition , or re quest was started in circulation for re publican signers , urging the committco to make the call , The call has therefore been intulo as appears olsowhoru. Jt was whispered yesterday that nn at tempt would bo lUado to nominate for mayor Mr. Frank Evans. Jt is under- i btoott that hi ) docs mjt waut tlio position , I and that ho will not accept , but his ; inumi-i want to force him whether ot nu , r Ho i < , u man whomtho people would bo glad lo secure , .but there are grave doubts about his being willing to accept under any circumstances. Thcro is also talk of bringing a pressure to bear njion .Mr. 2. T. Llndsiy to accept a nomina tion for mayor. lie is us wide awake , sterling and stirring a business man as there is in the city , but it would bo doubtless almost as difficult to qct him to servo ns others whom the people would pladlv elect. Some yesterday wore urging the nnmo of L. C. Baldwin for nomination as mnyor. Mr. Baldwin declares that ho will not consent to the consideration of Ids nnmo oven , ami objects to even being thought ot in tliis connection , much less would ho nllow.lils iitimo to bo used in a con vein t Ion. Another subject of yesterday's gossip was the possible declination of John W. Chapman to run for mayor. It was re ported that ho had declared that in case the ropttblicansmado another nomination , ho would draw out of the race. The democrats are rather jubilant over tlio prospect of getting the republicans divided up by having the citizens' ticket and ( ho straight republican ticket in the field , feeling that this would ensure the election of the democratic ticket. The citlxons' ticket seems to bo falling to pieces , nnd if the republicans make a ticket , and Colonel Chapman withdraw ; ) , there may bo a cliango in tlio situation which may turn the laugh onto the other side. It may be that the democracy may have a double ticket , thoVatiglmn faction leading one , and the Bowman faction the other. Such were some of the possibilities nlked over yesterday. Best coal and wooil in the city at Glea- son's , 20 Pearl street. The Police Investigation , The mayor tlocs not seem to be in a great hurry to act upon the report of the council committee which investigated the police and found the charges against them true. The mayor says that the men arc not satisfied witli the result of the se cret investigation by the committee , and want an open ono before Judge Ayles- worth. Thcro the matter rests. The po lice force is going on as before the inves tigation' and report , and will probably continue until after the election. It is a skittish * , time for the mayor to do any thing , and the others concerned are evi dently liot over-anxious to have anything done. , Jt was supposed that the mayor would have enough backbone to either declare Iho report of the committee as unjiist"or , to lay off the officers concerned until he could 'investigate , or accept the report and dismiss the guilty ones. The mayor has always boasted of his activity and promptness , but this docs not seoiu to him a good time to be over-active. Ho was out of the city when the investigation was in progress and now ho does not seem to want to got mixed in it. As the head of the police force , with full power over it , it seems straifgo that he docs not show some of his vaunted activity and quickness. The men if unjustly u.cd sliould not be kept under a cloud , and if guilty should not bo kept on the force. For first-class Missouri wood call on Glcason , at his coalollicc , 20 Pearl stroet. Republican City Convention. The republicans of Council Bluffs will meet in delegate convention at tlio city building in Council Bluffs on Thursday , February 23 , at 2 u. m. , to place in noini- ' nation candidates for the vuriou ? city offices to bo voted for at the ensuing elec tion on March 1 * .

The city council last Saturday passed a resolution instructing the marshal to serve notices on tlio saloons to pay their licenses , and in case of failure so to pay up to report them to tlio city solicitor. In other words the city council proposes to have the saloons pay a license or clso have the city commence action to compel' them to put up or shut up. The mayor threatens to veto this resolution. The marshal had not commenced serving the notices yesterday , and the resolution seems to fall rather dead. It is not very likely that under the present feverish political state of affairs the matter will bo pressed very vigorously , The mayor will hardly dare to veto the resolution , and should ho do so ho would get little thanks and make small capital out of a veto , as the saloon men look upon it as spring election buncombe anyway. There arc a good many side plays now , and it is hard to tell when men are in earnest.

L , Squire , 101 Pearl street , Council Bluffs , * * Crows Who KIKMV a Uooil Homo. Hartford ( Conn. ) Times ; A couple of tame crows , which have been kept as a sort of household pels by a New Hart ford family , at length became such mis chievous nuisancps and thieves stealing ovcry bright and glisloning thing they could pounce upon , including ladies' jewelry of all kinds , and hiding it in dis tant trees , and oico nearly making off with a gold wiitcy that it became ex pedient to got rid of them. They were taken ( tied up in a bag , so that they couldn't see ) to a vicco ol woods eight miles distant , nml there liberated the wagon being driven off in another direction. Next day ono crow was back again , limiting about the kitchen for food , and showing every nvidonco of great satisfaction at getting back , while the cook joyfully welcomed him , and his companion wasn't long in returning. This firot returning wanderer was a knowing fowl. When a hard , dry piece of bread was given him ho would tuico it off to Ills basin of water , put it in , and let it soak a little. If , on taking it out , it was found to bo still too hard to suit him , Mr. Crow would put it back and with one foot hold it down under the water for n good gillie , Then ho would devour it very contentedly. If that was not reason , what was it ? i An Ancoilpto oftho President. Baltimore- American ; The president oviduntly is wakm ? up to the idea that ho has as yet made j appointment for liimsclf at all , Tle other day n. congress man from ono of the , Middle State went to the white house to ask for an appoint ment. The president received him cor dially , as ho docs all the congressmen , but when the visitor began to talk about appointments the pi evident gradually began to caol and fin-ally cut tha visitor short by asking liini what ho wanted. "Only a chaplain in tlio nrmy , " was the reply. "Look here , " snid , the President , "don't you think it Is about time that the ad ministration should have some of the offices itself } " "Well , " replied the Congressman , un daunted , "there are two chaplains. I'll take one nnd the administration can have the other. " i "No , " replied Cleveland ! "Iho ministry is a good place for the administration to begin with. I think' I'll ' take them both.
