Work on the new government building is going along quite briskly. The ilrst meeting of the new council will bo on next Monday night. One drunk only constituted the police record yesterday. The usual lino. The Congregat'onalist.s ' had n chocolate. last evening , and a general social good time at the church parlors. The Citizens bank will bo closed this morning until 10 : ! ! ( ) o'clock on account of the funeral of Ilobertl'ereival , who was a late director of that institution. Snyder & Lcamnn have received a car load of California cabbage which left San Francisco on the id ! instant and reached this c < ty on the 10th. This evening C. F. Williams , the state lecturer of the Temperance , alliance , gives the lirst of his course in tlie Methodist church. All are invited , the lectures be ing free. lr. ) B. S. McLooil , of Chicago , who makes a specialty of diseases of the oyo. car and throat , lias deelded to locate in this city , and is fitting up olliccs up-stairs at No. r 03 Broadway. The retiring mayor lias reached Wash ington , and has mamiged already to have the press reporters wire that all-impor tant annnunuimicnl over the country. A shower of interviews will now prob ably follow. All members of the bar are requested to accompany the remains of their late brother , Itobert Porcival , to Sidney , where they will be taken by special train leaving the C. , B. & B. local depot at 10M5 this morning. Yesterday the friends of the late Robert Pereival had the safe in his office opened , that they might learn from the private 1 papers if ho had expressed any prefer ences or made any arrangements which 1 would conllict with the arrangements made for his burial in Sidney. There " 1 was considerable dillieiilty in opening the safe , but this was finally done by G. An- drcan of Omaha. Among oilier papers was found a will dated June 27 , 188.1. and witnessed by George- Carson and K. II. Shoafo. The contents of the document will not bo made public until the will is filed in probate. The friends of Dr. Cross have not been able yet to arrange for the necessary $20,000 bail. The dilllcnlty has been that men having largo real estate property , and such are required , object to having the lien , for such in t'act it is , placed upon all their properly , as it makes it dilllcult to sell at as good an advantage , should they so desire , and it may bo a long time yet before the case readies a final decision. The attempt to secure bail has by no moans been given up , and them is a good prospect for its yet being Bcciireu , but with such a largo amouiit ; t is necessarily .slow work to complete all the details of the arrangements. George Miller , who recently broke jail at Denison. has been recaptured , and will be tried for larceny at the April term of court. Ho was quite cunning about working his way out of jail. Tlie sheriff had allowed a trusty prisoner to lock the other prisoners in their cells at night , and Miller fooled him. Miller had n chair in his cell , and tying a string to tliis , and running tlio string through the bars into the rear corridor , ho by pulling the cord made the chair move so as to make a noise , as though he was in his cell instead of in the corridor. Suppos ing that he was in his cell the lock was turned , leaving him in the corridor. He soon managed to dig his way through the brick wall , and escaped. Ills corridor privileges are now cut off. Substantial abstracts of tltlo and real cstato loans. J. W. &E. L. Squire , 101 Pearl street , Council Bluffs. Graveyard Insurance. There now lies in jail a. fellow named Pierce , whoso record as n hotel-beat has been pretty well aired. It appears that one of his schemes was the soliciting of insurance for a peculiar company , which has recently been organized in the stale. Ho represented Ihat ho was an agent for this company , and that the admission fee was $8. The members were liable to an assessment of ten cents only , when a member died , and each member on death was to bo allowed if 100 for burial pur poses. One prudent young man , who was induced to join the association by Pierce , paid live assessments in advance , making $3.50 in all. The scheme just caught the young man , for ho had always disliked the idea ot oing out of the world without money enough to bury him decently. For u long time he had had stowed away about $100 for this spe cial purposo.Ko that when this opportunity presented itself for securing a decent burial , ho jumped at theohance. Fooling eocuro that in case of death ho would bo decently buried , ho pulled out his money which ho had bcun saving , and enjoyed it. About tliu tiiuo that it had been spent he learned that Pierce had been thrust into jail us u boat. It is said that Pierce secured a number of fees , but it seems not enough to enable him to pay ail his bills. There will bo a meeting of Excel- aior Lodge , No. 2W , A.

The Mnyor's Veto Grnvcj-nrd Insur ance nfn New Sort A Mttslcnl Institute Closlnc oT tlio Circuit Court , Tlie llnr'fl Tribute. At a meeting of the bar held yesterday morning it wns decided to nltcnd tliu ftmurtil of Rolicrt. Pcrctvnl in n boily , nnd tlio following resolution. " , reported by tlio committee appointed for that pur pose , were adopted by a rising vote : Whereas , By a sudden and unlooked- for dispensation of IVovidonon , lion , Robert I'urulvnl , one of the oltlu.fl mem- bor.sof tin ; 1'ottawattainlo county bar , has been culled mvity bv ili > : itliuml ; Whereas , It is lining that tho.so who survivi ! him in tlio duties of the profes sion should phtco upon the records of the courts , wherein hi ; so long labored , an appropriate expression of sorrow at liis demise , and their appreciation of his character and nrofosstonal attain ments ; therefore , bo tt Resolved , That in the death of Hon. Hoberl I'crcival the bar of this comity bus lost one , who by his intellectual en dowments and personal character was lilted to and did adorn his chosen profes sion ; one , who in tlio eourso of many years spent in iho service of that profes- .sionmaiilfestL'd bin ability to explain and expound the laws by which civil society is governed. Resolved , That us a lawyer the do- censed was kind and courteous , cheerful and considerate with his associates , and always ready to help bis younger brethren by well timed suggestions and kind en couragement , so that his presence in Iho court room was always hailed with pleasure. Resolved , That his most distinguishing characteristics Wore his unbending in tegrity , his uniform courtesy and his great aptitude for the elucidation of com plicated legal questions ; that in his walk- in life , public , professional and private , he rcllccted credit on human naturn and honor on his profession. Resolved , That wo deeply and sincerely mourn his death , and extend to his rela tives and wide circle of personal friends our sympathy in the bereavement that has robbed them of a rolatjvo and friend , and the bar of one of its brightest ornaments. Resolved , That these resolutions be presented to the circuit court of this county with a request that they be spread upon its records. Pending the adoption of the resolu tions Judge A. V. Larimer spoke as fol lows : Wo arc asked to pause in our delibera tions upon the a flairs of life , and devote them to the memory of one with whom our relations \yhile living were intimate and conlidential , and whose death name so unexpectedly upon ns. Mr. Percival was one of the early pioneers neers of the Missouri valley , and hero in western Iowa and eastern Nebraska was the lield of his labors as a mechanic and also UK a prominent member of the bar. The lirst occasion of'this kind which I remember of the bar boingcalled upon to a like tribute of respect to a deceased Eay was in June , 1802 , upon tlio death of Joel Lnttle. Since then Test , Douglas , lir.Illv.'Ul , lii'Jdlo ' , Price , Street and some others have gone io join the great majut'- ity , anil , although ns a class , wo may have been particularly favored , yet it has been none the less tru i "There is not a wind that blov/s but bears with it fiojno rainbow promise ; there is not a moment iiics but puts its sickle in the lields of life , and mows its thousands with their joys and cares. " It may bo a very creditable ambition to desire to bo remembered by posterity , but there is not much in the life of an at torney that can bo noted by the historian. He may appear in celebrated coses , but rhetoric , topic and law used with the most consummate ability before courts and juries are very soon forgotten. The practicing attorney cannot labor in fields of literature , or do anything worthy of being recorded by the historian , and when he has written nothing that will bo read by posterity , when ho has done nothing worthy of being recorded as a part of Ids country's history , then indeed is death a seeming finality , except as cherished in the remembrance ofthose to whom ho was near and dear while living. With all man's wealth and power , his dominion over earth and sea , the vegeta ble world is seemingly favored more than ho ; for while the frosts of autumn may destroy the vegetation of summer , and winter leave no trace thereof , the rejuven escence of spring will again clothe the earth with verdure and beauty , and all appear as once it was , but it is not so with the life of man , for when ho yields at last as yield ho must to that voice whose tones are heard by the high and the low , the rich and the poor , echoing the summons , "Child oMlio earth , come away , " it is with all but a few indeed the hist of earth. But it will not bo so with a departed friend. All who know him will remember him , and remember him with kindness. Mr. Pusoy nri'sontcd the resolutions to the court , ami Judge Connor , in order ing them spread upon the nunntcs , made a few aupropriato remarks. Moro Police Filth. The charge is made that Captain Wal ters of the police force came into posses sion of a watch belonging to a conductor named Mclntyre , nnd that the captain got it in a decidedly crooked manner. Molntyro came into the city a day or two ago , and yesterday informed tlio liiu : man that Walters had given up the watch , and he was not disposed to make Walters any more trouble about it. Walters is about to retire from the police force , and hence there will probably be no investi gation. The chief interest aroused by the charge arises from tlio fact that it is connected with other scandalous compli cations of tie ! old force. There scorns to bit a fear on thn part of some of the police force thru Oflk-or O'Brien will bo ap pointed on the now force. They foolgoro at him bccuuiv they think he was mainly uistfiimcnul in getting the late old clothii.s invcstigntion Ktarlud. by which the otiif 1 was found guilty of cond'.icl un becoming an olllccr , and Captain Walters and Oittenr K'.rk were found guilty of hfjlpinx'themsr.lvcs to rome of tlio cloth- injj.

The Mns'Oi-'B Veto. The old city council is preparing to get together Saturday afternoon for a final meeting , The chief business which calls them together again is the recent veto of the mayor. Unless something is done with tin ? , it seems that the section of the council increasing the salaries of the city solicitor and city engineer from $1,000 tofl.'iO will bo of no avail. It is expected that the council will puss the ordinance over the mayor's veto , as live out of the six aldermen voted for the ordinance , and they will hardly fcol like backing the track because of iho mayor interposing his voto. The mayor js said to have prepared the veto and left it here loaded , to bo fired in case the coun cil passed the ordinance , Then ho hastened to the east. Ho had already given to the newspapers his resignation as mayor , but doubtless fearing it would destroy the force of the veto , if lilcd with tlio clerk , and that it might be accepted before the obnoxious ordinance was passed , ho did not have the resignation presented to any but the newspaper men. .Sueh a closing to the two years' farce is a titling one. With the coming of next Monday ho will not need to have any res ignation , as the people have caused Iflin to retire at that time whether or no. Tlio best , gents' $5.0J shoo in the city at Boston iJoot and Shoe Store. One Pen IjRinl.s to Another. From the Klllott Reporter are learned the following developments of the recent forgeries there : Mr. pan Earp gave himself up to Deputy Sheriff Allen on Tuesday last and con fessed to have been the principal acting ptirtj' in the recent forgery committed in this neighborhood. It seems that ho , with the assistance of three 01 four others , all of whom arc not yet known , succeeded wonderfully well -in drawing tip ami disposing of two promissory notes , bearing tlip forged signatures of James Saint and M. ( J. Talbott as prin cipal and .surety on one , and II. II. Per sons and M. C. Talbott as principal and surety respectively on the other. The lirst of these notes was drawn for j&JoO , and with little hesitation purchased by R. II. Ilaller , of Red Oak , for .f'2IO ; the second one was drawn for if.1) ) , and sold without much trouble to J. L. Sir-ink for $315. This was a bold yet deliberate act on the part of the boys charged witli the forgery.to falsely obtain money , and al though they may not have understood the legal consequences of their action , wo believe they should be severely pun ished. What do you know about prices at Boston Boot and Shoe Store , -117 Broad- A Musical Institute. The ladies of the Congregational church arc arranging to secure the services of 1'rof. T. Martin Towno of Chicago to conduct u musical institute hero. Prof. Towno is widely know in musical circles as a composer , tinil some of his music lias become familiar the world over. As a director and instructor lie is taking rank with the best in the land. The ladies arc to be congratulated on having secured his services , and there will be little difli- culty in securing large classes for him. Tho.su who desire to learn to read inus-ic wilpiiivo a rave oppijuiir.it.Y Of ( lOi ! ) so. while those who desire further voice cul ture or drill will also gladly avail them selves of Prof. Townu's presence hero. Tlie institute will last two weeks , and tl.e expense will bo little in comparison with tiio rare advantage offered. Tickets are placed on sale at llarknoss IJros' store and at W. S. Homer's , where further par ticulars will be trivon on application. The institute will probabfy oiiun next Monday evening , and there'will bo n scs- sioh each evening. Money to loan by Forrest Smith. Closing of Court. The circuit court closed its term hero yesterday afternoon. Judge Conner goes from hero to Avoca , where court will open on Tuesday next. A divorce was yesterday granted Mrs. Fanny llenny , on the ground that her husband , James llunny had deserted her. In tiio case of Mrs. Bachelor against C. Lanzcmlorfer the jury returned a verdict giving the plaintiff $57.70 damages. The plaintiff claimed heavy damages on ac count of tiic defendant's slaughter house , located near her residence. In the case of York against York the court decided in favor of tlio husband. This case was quite sensational in a portion tion of the evidence produced , although the real question was not as to their family quarrels , but in regard to the title of certain land claimed by both , they having been divorced.

Enny-(7oln Joiirnnls Whloh Exhibit But lilttlo I'JutcrpriHO In Getting News. There is no "nigger squat on tlio safe- ty-valvo" of Mexican journalism ( to emote from John Hay's dialect versifica tion of an episode in Mississippi steam- boating ) , insuring the highest possible amount of pressure and the greatest at tainable speed , but giving thu public tlio fastest service with a total disregard for thu lives of those concerned in the race , says n correspondent of the Springfield Hupublioan , writing from tiio City of Mexico. JsY. one Here sits tin nil night nt the end of a telegraph wire to catch the first information concerning tlio death ot a national hero , the downfall of a ir.inis.try , tlio outbreak of a strike , or the result of nil election , atvoss thu sen. Tlio late news and the timely editorial that must bo byrn hi ibe small hours ure things yet afrtf oil. The nightmare of a "beat" or a "aeooj " that rises indistinct yet most dis turbing out of u scramble of a I day never intrudes upon the un troubled slumbers of the local uewsimimr man. He rests still in that btaony Hollow , whereinDtho Amer ican editors were pleased to imagine that they toiled before tliu days of Hennctt , Raymond , Greuley and Weed. It seems like going back ovw fortv years to that formative period when electricity was first being enlisted in news gathering , and when tlio modern newspaper was lirst beginning to organize its marvelous forces .The newspapers of Mexico yet offer a calm 1m veil M the essayist and the poet , nnd above all , .they are sought by tlie inveterate and unrufllcd theorist. Most often ho presides over their gentle and harmless destinies , issuing his dreams nnd his radical manifestoes in tlie face of surrounding turbulence or revolution with n placidity of purpose that a general might , envy. The contrast of nil tliis to the remorseless racn that is now going on in the United States is , of course , the greatest possible. It is very interesting and restful , but there is noth ing inspiring about it Wo shall nuver go back to anything like this , and al ready tlio modern Minotaur that wo call enterprise has begun to exact victims from Mexico. Several of tlie dailies in this city are taking half n column of tele graph each day by way of the Galvcston cubic. The morning papers arc cried on tiio streets the nignt before their alleged date of publication , for they generally co to press at fi p , m. ' .1 he. merciful Mexican editor is thus merciful to him self , and no one blames him for his want of solf-sacriticu. Manaiia ( to-morrow ) is a word in universal nsu , the very watch word of Muxieo , It springs to tlio lips of tlio people in every business transaction as a sort of constitutional barrier and protest against rapid methods in any direction. The Yankee who would do business here must not only toluratu but learn to echo manana , and lie must auglu to make to-morrow to-day with the inexhaustible patience that distin guishes the successful fisherman. Tlie Saturday night , papers nro sold Sunday , but there are none ready for Monday morning , excepting a special Mon lay weekly , that hud been planned to fill this gap. Here , therefore , is a place where no Sunday newspaper work is done , but those who deprecate Mich labor will not. lie able to draw any moral that will avail them in oiiticising the newspapers of the United Slates. Newspapers seem io flourish in a phenomenal way. aud the number is so great tliat one fails to sue how most of them live. No critcrions that we know are sufficient to justify , much less to account for. this mushroom growth. Not only in this capital city , but in the chief towns of all the states , are newspapers that possess little of those qualities that command success witli you , and yet they live and thrive , and are boldly critical of existing tilings. Senator Wilson's Postal Bill. Muslim lllrilic. We are glad to note that tlio public seems to awake to the importance of de feating the bill recentlv introduced in tiio United States senate oy Mr. Wilson of Iowa , for doubling tins rates of postage on fourth-classjnail matter. Kvery man , woman and child who has occasion now and then to send a package of any sort merchandise , presents , souvenirs , trink ets or what all by post , has a personal interest in seeing this measure crushed , and it is gratifying to observe how readily they appreciate the fact. The present rate is plenty high enough. Sixteen cents per pound 5s sullicient , in all conscience. Stilltho , , public does not grumble ; but when ib-comes to doubling that rate , then the people'call a halt. Put the rate up too2 , bents a pound , and the public wouhUit once be placed at the mercy of the express companies. It requires a great deal of.faith in human nature not .to believe that that was tlio real motive of Senator Wilson in intro- troducing the bill. The Wen I tli of Sonic Milllonnircfl.
