Wicked. The group of maidens appear
nightly upon the streets , shaking their
tamborines , singing and marching , at
tracting the crowd into Dohany's old
ball , where they hold their peculiar ex
ercises. It seems to be hard work to get
hold of Council HlutVs , but by the policy
of the army there must be no surrender ,
but the station , when onee taken , must
bo hold for year at least. There } s n
change of otllcors at every station every
three months. Funds are raised by con
tributions , by passing the plate and by
olllng papers printed in the interests of
the tinny. The feminine soldiers have
their burrocks in the snino hall in which
they hold their meetings , so the expense
of board is greatly reduced , they doing
their own cooking. It is a hard life for
those who enlist , and even from what
Jitilu money they secure they arc obliged
to forward a liberal portion to headquarters -
quarters to biipport the general work.

The nnuouniicmont made yesterday of
a change at the transfer , by which the
hotel business is to be done away with
there , ratiFcs considerable talk and rein
forces the hopes , lately inspired , thai
Council Hlnlls is on the eve of some
changes for the better. 1 t Is tin
der.-tood that Marked & Swobe are to get
out of the hotel at : he transfer within
s-ixly days. The purpose of this move is
understood to be to make room for freight
olliccs , which will bo opened in the trans
fer building. Within a short time the
oilh-es will 1)0 ) employing a large number
of clerks , and it is estimated that by the
move 100 persons will be added to the
population of Council IJIull's , This change
lias Ijucn talked of for some time , but Die
aiiiioimepiuenl that within sixty days the
hotel is lo be done away with leads to Ilio
assurance that the change is surely to
come and iliu predictions be realized. The
many projects coming to the surface so
nipidlv and in such variety and numbers ,
are causing a sensation throughout the
city , and on every side are heard prophets
foretelling a great boom for Council
linns. This citvha ? had a lumH1 ! ' ' boom
igltt along , and , as compared with other
cities in Iowa , has nothing to complain
> f. but being right in the shadow of
Jmalm , with Us wonderful growth con
stantly before its eyes , there has been an
mpalient looking forward to a time
, vhen Council HI nil's would partake of a
.Innlar prosperity to its near neighbor.
That time .seems near at hand , and the
projects now on foot are for the closer
wedding of the two cities , making a great
commercial center in the growth of
winch Council Hlull's will have its xharo
of prosperity. No such feeling has been
manifest in Council Hlull's for years , as
now crops out at every turn. , There is
jubiluncy , and much confidence
lelt in all circles. Hiisiness men talk of
projects by day and dream of them
by night. Property owners are already
figuring on advancement in prices of real
rstalc. Speculators are building air cas
tles , and everybody seems to have some
special interest.
There is still some discussion over the
proposed giving of Tenth avenue to the
Union Pacific company. Some of the
property owners along that avenue are
protesting against any Mich action on the
part of the cily , until the company ar
ranges to secure them for all damages ,
and so ai ranges lhat such ju.sl damages
may be had without expensive litigation.
There has been no indication as yet but
what the company will wi'lingly ' enter
into arrangements by which damage
claims will be justly sollled before the
rights are granted to the company.
Other ronlcs by which Ihe company can
be cmially accommodated are being
talked over , and it is possible that some
other right of way may bo given in place
of the one now being considered by the
council. The citizens generally seem to
favor treating the company liberally , so
for as this can be done without injuring
the privale properly owner.
The council will doubtless grant the
right of way for the now street car lines
to be run m connection with the new
bridge cnterpri.se. There seems reason
able grounds for believing that the wagon
bridge will be bomething more than a
bridge en paper.
The planning for a union depot nearer
the center of the city is also being dis
cussed. This has not come to the surface
in any formal 'manner yet , but it is ex
pected that it will soon appear.
The changes being made in and about
the transfer indicate that a large addition
will be made to this city , both in popula
tion and business. With the now and
large roundhouse , the repair shops , a
J'uilniHii car shop , ana other e.Herpriscs ,
it seems that the stir will be felt throughout -
out lhat part of the city , and add to the
prosperity of the whole.
Social chit Olmr ,
Now that the season is about open , is it
not time for the formation of a society
club ?
Probably the most successful club ever
in existence in this city was the Imperial
last sou ton , and it is high time to think
of resurrecting the old Imperial or start
ing another one.
On Friday a party of young folks went
out on a nut hunt. * Each couple were in
a buggy alone by themselves , and a de-
lighttuT afternoon was spent. The party

buggy in ease lie should have to return to
the city on n professional visit.
Minion got the second pn/.o by
scouring two acorns. Wakcfield having
hardly recovered from his recent attack
of malaria , did not dare leave the buggy.
Jlcrt Evans had his pockets filled with
"chestnuts" before ho left the eitv , as ho
was afraid to leave hhjhorscin the woods ,
but the others were "onto him. " Harvey
having resided in Omaha so long was

might get lost in a strange city.

Origin ofa Classic.
HuiTalo Express : The June-bug poem is
sullicient of a classic already to secure a
reference as the "tho old song. " Yet it
lias been before the public less than two
years. This gem has been more often
mutilated , misnuotou and stolen than any
othur poem of its length in the language.
There are at least half a do/.cn negro
minstrels who claim it. Its real author
was the "This and That" man of the
Louisville Courier-Journal. The June-
bug poem is seldom given correctly. In
the original and mo.st beautiful version il
ran ;
The June-biiK liulha iraudv wing ,
liglitniiiK-hu. . ' halli tame ,
Tlio bed-bus lias no wluss at all ,

novvly foaled colt , dried and pulvori/.cd ,
and a "scruple of verdigris. " raised on
the MirtHcu of old copper by laying it in
moist earth. Tim warrant of the comp
troller on which Ilio money was paid and
tliu receipt of Crous are on lilo with other
