\ Foundation For the Hoom.
The past week has been an eventful
and exciting one in the history of Council
Huffs. The boom in real estate has be
come oven more of a craze than Lake
Alanawawas last summer. Everybody
s eatch'ing the enthusiasm , anil arc back-
ng up judgment by a free use of ready
cash. Last Sunday the Bur. called alien-
Ion to the fact that sales and contracts
lad been made the day before amount-
ng to $100,000. The evening papers took
ip the statement , anil enthusiastically
umounced that the boom was really
opened. The Nonpareil alone hung back ,
xnd laughed at the idea , saying th ; t such
statements should bo discounted 75 live
icr cent. After having for some time
jcen cautiously but nominally urging all
0 help build up Council Bluffs , the old
; raud-mothur , with sight enfeebled by
ige , did not see that the boom
vas alreay here. She laughed
it the Bin and other pa pun
or giving the news and kept declaring
that there was nothing to it. Now even
he has been convinced ami she is as on-
husiaslic as any of the others. The
Nonpareil indulged in much sarcasm
ibuut the illustrated boom edition of thu
> oor little evening Herald , but she has
jcen her folly and is now trying to make
imunds by borrowing the cuts and copy-
ng the articles. Yesterday it repro-
lueed the picture of the now court house ,
md despite some bad breaks in the make
ip. which spoiled the description , it was
1 commendable movo. The other papers
of the city aru glad that she is { rutting
nto line and that she shows a disp'osition
o help what little she can in "working
o build ui ) Council Bluffs. "
Thu real estate ollicos have been
hronged during the week trom early
nornnig until late at night. Almost
every clerk , every young man who has a
> ocket and a few minutes time , has been
Uulying the man , which has become as'
; rcat an essential as a pocket knife or a
coy ring. Everybody has been spcculat-
ng more or less , generally more. Many
of the duals have been over the cheaper
mil unimproved lots , but a number of
ialus of inside and improved property
lave been made.
Prices have jumped up rapidly , so rap-
dly that it has become almost impessiblu
to keep track of them. Some lots have
: lianged hands as many as twelve times
n a day. Instead of decreasing the ex
citement is increasing , and the news
) eing spread about the country , money is
flowing in for investment here.
Thu building boom has not started j'ct ,
t being early for that , but there are
nany tangible rea.sons for buliuving that
t will be hero on time , and form a solid
foundation for _ the speculative boom
vhieh precedes it. There seems to be no
loubt but that the charter for the wagon
md street car bridge iittho footof Broad
way will bo secured , and work commence
on that at once. Tlio bill now pending
s simply delayed by the natural course
of time taken by congressional ma
chinery. An effort is to be made to get
the rules suspended , and the bill hurried
up so that the actual work of construc
tion may commence earlier.
There is also every reason for belicv-
.ng that thu union depot ou Tenth ave
nue will bo built this season. The prop
erty recently purchased from the Catho
lic church will without doubt bo occupied
by a largo business block this season. D.
I" . Eicher will probably put up a line
ollico building running from Main to
Pearl street. A starch factory is among
the enterprises being arranged for. Yes
terday the work of organizing a syndi
cate for a new hotel was buing startud.
The proposal \ to purchase the present
Pacific house property , and build a larger
and better hotel there.
The completion of the new court housc-
thu new government building , the rail ,
wav work being done about the transfer ,
tho'number of residences being planned
for , all these things indicate ! that there is
to bo much to support Ihe present antici
pation of better prices for real estate
here. Prices have been ridiculously low ,
and oven then there has been little ac
tivity. It seems that Council Bluffs has
awakened to its senses , and that the re
vival is one in earnest , and one which
will continue.

Opcm.
The Kate Bonsbcrg opera company ap
peared at Dohany's last evening. Thu
audience was not so largo as the merits
of the entertainment deserved. There
was little generally known hero of thu
artists composing the company , and with
the exception of those who aru posted in
musical matters , there was not a high ex
pectation to bo met. Those who did at
tend were surprised. They found the
company to be far beyond anything they
had expected. Miss Bunsberg , the prim a
donna , is a young American girl , a native
of St. Louis. She has a bird-like voice ,
ewcel toned , and very flexible. Added
to the charms of voice arc graces of man
ners which make her a favorite with the
audience irom her first nipcarnnco | , and
causing increasing enthusiasm to the ( in-
ish. As nn actress , too , she shows more
than ordinary ability.
Miss Montugriffo , thn contralto , is a
very pleasing singer , with a voice of remarkable -
markablo compass and strength. She is
also an American girl , her homo being in
Cincinnati. She has been in the Miuniu
Hank company and other famous organ-
i/ations , and her voice evidences both
natural gift and careful culture. She
wears a diamond necklace , the gift of
Patti , and has numerous mementoes of
her associations with leading artists and
their appreciation of her merit ,
Air. Knight , the basso , has a powerful
voice , which ho controls in a masterly
manner. The company has also in Mr.
David a tenor well worthy of such a po
sition.
The entertainment consisted of Balfo's
operetta in ono act , "Sleeping Queen , "
and the third act of "Martha.1- ' The com
puny is not largo in numbers but makes
up in merit. The policy is thus to keep
the expensed at such a low figure as to
enable the management to give the people
ple cholco music , and yet enable the
company to stop in cities when ) they
could nnnlly afford to appear had those
leading artists a support consisting of a
largo number , with largo choruses.
.
Wo have good deals to offer in every
addition inside of thu city limits , and
money can bu made on them if you pur

The First Koiinil.
The motion to dismiss thu last batch ol
saloon injunction cases was yesterday
morning overruled by Judge Thornell.
The points claimed in support of the mo
tion byMr. Baldwin , and those sot up by
Attorney Sims in resisting the motion ,
wore given in full in yesterday's UKK.
Tlio decision of the court yesterday gives
tirc't blond to Attorney Sims. The sit
t.ciup * * " v > w' bo madet.O1 . .pi'oss.tho
oases to a hearing , bnt this will probably
be resisted by motions to obstruct , based
on other alleged technical defects. The
move to secure Injunctions is being
fought Inch by inch , and the contest
shows much ingenuity and ability on
both sides. The citi/.cns generally are
greatly interested , as thov feel that the
closing of the saloons p.innol but have
its effect on business , cither for bettor or
worse , the general ciulmcnt bcingthnt
such an action will not stop the sale of
liquor , but will simply result in more
harm than good. On the other hand it is
claimed with much shmv of justice that
it is the law and should bo obeyed. The
prohibitionists are in the minority hero
and those who are actively pressing the
suits number but very few. They aru
keeping at it , however , and they declare
they will not yield.
The city was full of outsiders yester
day buying up properly , and Cook te
Morgan have increased their force to at
tend to customers.
ICdwnrd-j Must On Across.
For some time the motion for a new
[ rial in the case of Edwards , the con
victed crook , has been under advisciuonl ,
but yesterday Judge Carson , who had
: lie motion in hand , overruled it. It was
proposed to sentence Edwards at once ,
but his attorney , Colonel Edwards ,
Dleaded for some time , expressing the
liopo lliat arrangements could be made
by which Edwards could give a bond. In
view of this statement Judge Carson
ixed upon Saturday us the time for sen
tencing Edwards. It will be another
week of anxious watching on the part of
Jailor McNoill , who has justCgrounds for
liiispocling that Edwards will make a
break if lie gets a chance. Tools have
neen passed into the jail , and have been
diseovere.d before they wcro usedand the
vigilance will be kept un. It seems that
i gang have determined that Edwards is
.00 valuable a man for them to allow to
; o across the statu , and arc. doing all in
heir power to prevent his being son-
lenced. This is the way it looks at
least.

In the presence of the imams and dig
nitaries of the court the shah receives
the salutations and New Year's greetings ,
and accompanied by effusive and longwinded -
winded compliments ; the court poet re
cites iin ode or panegyric upon the wisdom
anil above all the decernnient of the king
ofkmys. Later on the members of the
various corps diplomatique , after being
received by some of thu ministers of

shadow of ( iod. Although he has
a larger collection of jewels than
any other monarch , this is one
of the few occasions unon which
lie displays them , for as a rule the shah
dresses plainly and in quiet colors , with
only a fuw diamond buttons on his black
cloth coat. But on the New Year his
majesty is usually bedecked in his most
magnilieent juwols , many of 'which ' wcro
lrouglit by the ruthless Nadir Shah
from Delhi : his tunic Uabla/.u with diamonds

in his hat is the aigrette or distinctive
emblem of his royalty. .Thu cere
mony is usually not a Jong one ;
his majesty addresses , a few words
to thu ministers , inquires after
the statu of their country ami the health
of their respective sovereigns or pres
idents. The distribution of bags of
money which , by the bye , year by year
decrease in valuu-uml the distracting
noise of twanging musical instruments
announce that thu reception ir over. The
coins presented are contained in tiny silk
bags made for the occasion , and consist
cluelly of silver as thin as a wafer ; some
times there aru a few gold pieces among
them about thu size of an old silver
penny , of not much intrinsic value , but
much appreciated in Europe when
mounted as earrings , buttons , and other
oriiainenta. _
