About a year ago bhe had a sim ilar accident which disabled the oilier nnklo. Kd. Hrooks , a former policeman , r.nd \V. Kirk , a young fellow , got Into a dis pute over a game of csrd and both were arrested. Hrooks was lined and Kirk was dismissed. M. North has commenced action for divorce from Kinily North. Jn his peti tion he claims that his wife is living with "Doe" Scott , which is enough to secure him his matrimonial freedom. The contractor who is doing the slate roofing for the court house and some other public buildings here , is so pleased with the advantages of Council Hlulls that he Is seriously planning to locate hero permanently. The funeral of \ \ illiam Welch was held yesterday morning and was very Jargel.y attended , lie had lived hero many years and had such a large circle of friends that the Catholic church , where the ser vices werj held , was crowded to its ut most. The Council Hind's Heal Estate associa tion is negotiating for the rooms on the second lloor of the building being refitted and rebuilt for Hudio < fe Yenawino ns a cigar More and billiard hall. The loca tion Is central and the rooms on the second end lloor will bo very convenient and at tractive for MIC ) ; olliccs. The sewer on Bancroft .street is being c'oaned out again. The job is an e\pen- s'vo one , and revives the discussion as to whether the sewer was ever properly built. Some claim that there is : i bend in the sewer , others that it runs so that the water would have to flow up hill , while it is claimed by others that the sewer is all right , but that it is intended to carry oil' water , not mm ! . As soon as the streets are paved , and kept .swept , the sewer will be all right. So says the en gineer. The paiior mills hero are _ being en larged , new machinery being added so that there can be manufactured about live tons of paper daily. The mills are furnishing their customers some very line paper. Harris & Fisher , of Omaha , and other Omaha linns are buying of them. The mills need n little more working capital , the managers having put HO much into the plant , but they are brayelv pushing ahead , and will come out all right. Some of the property owners on B.m- croft street object to having ix hcwnr ex tended down that street at their expense , as they have sewerage from the alley be tween that street and Main street. Of course such 11 view is taken only by those on the west side of Bancroft street , and they scent willing to let those on the cast Bide of th3 street go without : v sewer. The council will probably go riirlit along with the plans laid out by Engineer Wil liams , of Chicago , and let the equities bo otherwise determined. The case in which Katie Paulson tig- ures as the injured girl and seeks to torce a young man into the futherhcad of her child , has two sides to it , as all such cases are liable to have. The young man not only denies being in any way responsible for the unfortunate condition in whicli the girl finds herself , but in substantia tion of his claim of innocence refers to the county records , from which it ap pears that Katie Paulson was early in March married to one Jacob Hanson. It Is claimed that there is nothing to the charge and it will not be heard of in court again. Hhcrraden is still making cabinet pho tos at fl ) per do ? . , best finish.

The City Council I'll//.led For a Sub stitute For Saloon lilcensps The Clty'H Finances Count of Monte Crlsto Invent * . Suddenly Summoned , yesterday forencou a man died sud denly while silting in the ollice of the Tromont bongo. Ills name was \V. C. Smith , anil ho was a boarder at the house. For a day or so ho had not been at his ac customed work , complaining of having much pain in his chest , a violent head ache and some fever. He hung around the house , and yesterday morning was sitting in a chair in the ollice , drowsing a little , although a few moments before ho was walking about the room and chat ting with others. The proprietor of the hotel , Mr. Saubiirt , noticed that a strange look was on his face r.nd that he was sinking over , as though about to fall. He he hurried to him , and calling for tin ) ) thers to come also. When they reached he man he was apparently in a faint , mil they laid him down on the lloor. One started for some water , another irgcd taking him to his room , and an- ither declared that it was too late as ho i-as dying. His face was bathed and an Hurt made to bring him to conscious- less , Init with a few gasps life went out , md ho was dead. Coroner Fatil was no- ilied and a jury impantiellcd. consisting if C. C. Despaiu , J. Kogers. and II. Wl 'ikon. Urs. Green and Hart made an xamiiiation and concluded tiuit it \yas mart disease , and after ( lie examination jf a few witnesses a verdict to that ell'eet as returned. Smith was about forty years of age. Head ad been employed on the plattorm of he dummv depot for over a year past , md had boardrd at the Trcmont since ast August. Ho was enjoying nnpar- mtly fair health , until Friday morning rvhen ho was feeling so badly that he con cluded to be itiite. | He was in his bed a lortlou of Friday , but most of the time iViis up and about. He talked of getting \ mustard plaster on his chest , to .see if ic could not get relief , but it seems that c took no medicine , or sought even him- , ) ] remedies , evidently considering the Hlliculty as not serious. He is .said to avc lost his wife , but to have three hildren living at his old home in War- iaw , 111. The body will be buried here. Dr. IS Ice's SUCUCIH. Few who see Dr. Hico slopping along 10 vigorously would guess that ho lias ieen so many years engaged in the active iractico of medicine , yet it is a fact that his spring ho enters upon the forty- ucond year of a constant , bravo battle .gainst disease , and is n veteran in the icrvlco of sufl'ering humanity. He has jcen here twelve years , .so that the public 3 quite familiar with the record of won- icrful success which has attained his reatment of certain diseases. In the reatment of cancers ho has gained a e reputation , and hundreds from all ) arts of the country have left harmlessly willed in the doctor's oflico the fright- 'til ' and deadly causes of their ill health , and returned homo with new life and the assurance of many years of hap piness. Of late the doctor has found it iccessiry to curtail his practice , and in ho treatment of cancers takes only spe- iial cases , refusing to treat others. He continues to make a specialty of female diseases and chronic diseases of all kinds , le has met with wonderful success in reating cases which have for years baf- lied other physicians. Noticeably has .his been the case in the removal of liter- no tumors. He uses no instruments in noli cases , nor docs lip resort to the .isual . methods. Ho gives the patient vegetable resloratives , by whieh nature is set to work , the organs are speedily relieved by nature herself , and the trouble removed naturally without the knife or other torture.

The cutting olTof the revenue which the city has heretofore received from the sa loons , causes the problem to bo a practi- al and perplexing one as to what can be done to make good the loss. The state law is such in regard to taxation that there cannot be a large enough assess ment made for general expenses to cover the needs of the city. Heretofore this lack has been made up by licenses. Now that no more can bo expected from that source , the council is pu/.zling over the matter. There seems to bo a disposition to pass , if possible , an ordinance licens ing as many kinds of business as possi ble , and making the citi/.ons thus eon- tribute enough to make up the loss. How far this special taxation can bo made to work is a query which the courts may have lo settle. It seems that an oflbr't will be made to frame an ordinance by which the citi/.ons will all bo given a chance to share the burden by the defi ciency thus caused. Some of those who have been the most earnest in lighting high license and insisting on doing away with the saloons entirely , will bo among the lirst to object to paying an extra tax , or u license for their own business.
