The resolution for paving , curbing and Hldewalking Pierce mid Blulf streets has been defeated by Aldermen Keller and Hummer , who voted against it. r The city council will resume its delib erations next Monday evening. On Thursday afternoon , of this week , the iildormen are to meet as a committee of the whole to consider the propositions to light the city by electricity. County Attorney Daily has been lookIng - Ing up tlio law carefully in the mutter of prize-lights , to sue if there is not some possible way of punishing those who use Iowa soil as their battle ground. He finds that all he can do is to have them lined or given a brief jail sentence , as under the laws of this state it is only a misdemeanor. Tlio oflonso can bo pun ished , if he can catch the participants on this side of the river , but he cannot bring them over on a requisition.

"Humpy" Anderson did not steal a red hot stove , but ho probably would if ho thought he could get away with It. Ho was yesterday sent to jail for fifteen days for stealing abont twelve feet of steve pipo. ' 1 ho other night about 3 o'clock a police olllcer discovered him inside of a front screen door at Mr. Dickey's resi dence , his position being very suspicious and his sudden flight more so. The of ficer did not catch him nnd no warrant was Issued on this occasion. He is viewed with suspicion in all his moves. E. H. Fagloy was recently arrested for whipping his wife and driving her out of the house. Ho was allowed to go free , to see if ho would not follow out some healthy advice given him by Judge Aylosworth , by which the family troubles could bo avoided. Yesterday ho broke forth again , and the neighbors thought ho was trying to butcher his family with a knlfu which ho had in his hand. On being arrested no knife was found upon him , but a common table fork , which ho declared was the only weapon ho had brandished.

The city has no provisions for regular Ing the erection of buildings beyond the few restrictions concerning lire limits and the excavations near streets. It is now proposed to remedy this defect in city laws by the passage of an ordinance similar to these of other cities , making numeroys provisions in regard to the erection of buildings. Even tlio ordinan ces already touching upon the subject are not complied with. There arc fre quent violations of the ordinance in re fcard to fire limits. There are also num erous cases in which excavations are made without securing the necessary permit. Perhaps the now ordinance may be more sharply enforced.

Tim board of trustees of tlio iiiHtltutlon for the dnsif and dumb lust evening con cluded their two day's session. 'Iho event of the meeting has been tlio change In the nuiimccnicnt. Heretofore the .super- intendonuy has been one of financial as well as educational management. For some tlmu the board has been consider * Ing the advisability of separating these two departments , as it has always boon dllliciilt to secure a .superintendent in whom could bo found * i combination of excellent business abilities and superior teaching quatilications. The duties wcro too numerous and varied , and onu department - partment or the other was liable to bo slighted. Superintendent Wychofl' has scr\ed for a yaar very acceptably , " . 'ho touchers were united in his upport , and tlio business mat- .crs have moved along smoothly. In was re-elected at the last June meet- ng for another year , and his work for he viir past was pronounced as success- ill and satisfactory. Tlio board ren.ll/etl , towever , that it was dllllcult for him to ittund to all the details of the business ntVairs of tlio institution , as thov took his inui and attention troin the educational lepurtment.The idea of separating the wo departments grew , and after consul- ation with Governor Lurraboo and > thers , the bourd decided to make the ihango. They have elected as superln- ondinit of the institution Hon. II.V. . itothert , of Kcokuk , whose duties will bo 0 look after all the financial and busi ness matters , buildings , etc. His alary will be $1.GOO a year. Prof. Wye- lioll' has been elected as principal of the chools at a salary of $1,800 , an increase if | 3)0 ( ) ever his previous salary , lie will now be relieved of all responsibility and care as to everything except the educa- ion of the pupils. The corps of teachers H under his direct and uole control , and he is the head and front of tlio school proper. Thus relieved of tinanclal and business duties , ho will be able to dcvoto liis entire time to bringing the scholar- jhip of the institution to the highest ranK posHiblo. Ho is an admirable man for ueh work , thoroughly experienced , and 1 leader in whom all the teachers have he utmost confidence. Senator Kothert M well known through out the state , lie has been m positions if trust and honor for a score of years. Ho was register of tlio land oil Ice at Cheyenne under President Arthur , and was supplanted by a democrat when the change came in the national control of mtronago. He was strongly urged for .ho position of superintendent hist year , but the board preferred to have an ex perienced teacher. During vacation the buildings at the in- tltution have been greatly improved , new lloors laid , paper and painting done , and all put in readiness for the coming year ot school. The water supply is now all that could bo desired. The artesian well forces water to the fourth story , thus doing awav with the pump and res ervoir system of supply. Miss buruh E.

STATK OK IOWA , I ; 'OTTA\VATTAMIK COUNTY , 1 An Inquisition holden at the court room In .he City of Council Bluffs In Pottawattamln county , IOWA , commencing on the Oth day of Auiust , 1887 , before Henry Faul. coroner of said county , upon the bodies of 0. E. Ferson , C. W. Cnrtwrlent and Joseph Newman , de ceased , and after a full and thorough Inves tigation by the coroner's jury , Into the dis aster that caused the death of the said C. K. Ferson , C. W. Cartwrlght and Joseph Newman , The Jurors upon their oath say and find that C. E. Ferson , C. W. Cart- wright and Joseph Newman came to their death on the night of August 4 , 4887. by being drowned In the waters of Lake Manawn , In Pottawattamlq county. Iowa : that shortly before being drowned the said deceased persons and twenty or more others boarded the so-called steamer Uanawa at what Is known on the beach landing of said boat as passengers to be carried by said steamer to the hotel landing , a distance of nearly a mile ; that shortly after the steamnr lott her beach dock , and about 10 o'clock and 10 minutes ot said night , and when about 200 yards from shore and dock , the steamer suddenly sank In about fourteen feet of water with about twenty-nvo passengers on board , Including the deceased , who alone were drowned , according to the best informa tion obtainable by the jury. The jury further Units as the causes leading to the sinking ol the boat that at and prior to her going down she was and still Is wholly unlltted and unsulted for the currjlng and transporting of passengers. That her capacity was very limited and her construction bad in almost eyery essential tea a good and safe boat. That she sank under the pressure ot a strong wind , a rough water and an over-load , considering her capacity , defects and unseaworthiness. Tim jury further suggest and recommend that hereafter the steamer Manawa and all such be restrained and prohibited from In any manner carrying oassengers ( or any purpose of hire or profit on the waters of said lake , and that Immediate steps be taken for the appointment ot a competent board of Inspectors of all boats whether propelled In whole or In part by steam upon said lake for the cairylng and transporting of passen gers for prolit or hire : and that It shall be the duty of said board , after examine any beater or vessel , and on tindlng the same unlit and unsafe for the purpose of carrying passen ger ; , to condemn and prohibit the operation of such boat or vessel on said lake.

Dstrvllle and McLaren , the two Inform ers , who have boon so long in Omaha , behind the bars , were brought ever to this side yesterday. It will bo remem bered that they wore held in Omaha by the saloon men on a charge of bribery , but really to prevent their coming to this side , and giving their testimony In the cases than pending. The prohibitionists , not being able to got them over hero , got other witnesses , so as to proceed with the cases. Still they were rather anxious to have them hero , too. On being released in Omaha they were arrested as being fugitives from justice from Iowa , there having boon an information filed before Justice liarnott.'of this city , charging them with carrying concealed weapons. Attorney Sims tiled the charge. In the meantime the saloon men wanted to have control of these two in formers , and so liled an information In 'Squire Uriggs' court , charging them with perjury In the Uittor case. On ac count of this complication of affairs , the prohibitionists went about It very uuietly to get these tnon over this side of the river , and succeeded yesterdav in getting them Into court , without attracting any attention. Justice Burnett read the charge and they hurriedly pleaded guilty. They were fined ono dollar each anil costs , and Attorney Situs wont security ior them. They then slipped out as quietly as they slipped in and disappeared. Their whereabouts are not known , but the prohibitionists say they will be on baud wnon needed in court. In the meantime the saloon men have changed their minds about wantIng - Ing the two men. It is understood that the committee having this part of the work In hand in behalf of the saloon men , are disgusted because there are so many saloon men who will not put up the necessary money for expenses and will not holt ) out In other ways. The two men will doubtless keep shady , however , and not parade in public until they have a chance to e.xamino tlio ground for themselves. Wanted Immediately , a lirst-class bar ber.

All the circumstances urrounding the death of this estimable foil lie man , and the sudden shadowing if the homo , so happy , called forth the ondcrcst sympathy throughout the com munity.

Chicago Tribune : The last six years vo developed wonderful things in Dakota , both in the productions of the soil and of the settlers , if wo may believe ho newspapers , and until we have occa- jion to doubt a Dakota editor our conli- ilcnce will remain unshaken. Eastern Dakota is old now and no now thing can come out of it to startle the world , and since tlio delicious Buffalo berry acknowl edged to a Pierre lady , a year ago , that it was discovered , men of science have crossed the "We Muddy" Into the wilds beyond , and their discoveries are numer ous ami oven more wonderful than bo- ore. A D.ikota editor and his wife while out snaking recently discovered several new species of snakes , the most inter esting of which was the "fish snake. " Two years ago the pop-weed lirst made its appearance along the borders of civilization from the interior of the Sioux reservation ; and cattlemen along the Missouri bottoms have had in teresting times over since. It is quite ate In the fall when the pop-weed ball begins to roll like tumble weeds over the imurics. The pop weed is a rankgrow- nir weed known only to this section ; it la's a stalk like the cabbage plant , with a _ ! irge round top tlio si/.cofa Hubbard squash and about the same color. There lire thousands of acres of the pop-weed n the reservation and they are very mmerous and grow to a prodigious si/o .n the vicinity of "alkali beds/1 When the "terrific northwest winds" blow late n the fall the pop-balls become de tached from the stalks and roll for miles ever the prairies ; until they reach un even country or other obstructions whore they accumulate and pile up like high banks of snow. Behind these banks 01 weeds the wild buffalo found shelter in mid-winter from the fierce blizzards. If the pop-weed ball comes forcibly in contact with any hard object while roll ing it explodes with a tremendous re port , a cloud of line powder passes on through the air , and thousands of sharp fine needles are thrown out in every di rection. These needles arc the seeds of the pop-weed , and * are what produce the mischief with stock , for they arc very penetrating. A "critter" will run from a rolling pop-weed like a jnck- rabbit from a coyote. The Indians now located at Brule agency tell htrange and Interesting stories about the weed. It is said that the young braves of the tribe for discipline and to prepare themselves for great torture , would select chiefs and ar ray themselves in buttle line and tight with these pop-balls like schoolboys in a snowball contest. "The battle of the pop-weed" was hold once a year , and was witnessed by the whole tribe with great pomp and parade. This day waste to the young braves what the Fourth of July is to tlio American youth. There were the smoke and nolso of battle to perfection , and the fine , sharp needles caused intense pain. The greatest ex hibitions of bravery were rewarded by promotion in the tribe , and presentations of handsome bead work were made by the young braves' best girls. But this famous weed , that once sheltered the wild buffalo of the plains from the winter storms and was used in the sham battles of the young Sioux braves , has since become very obnoxious to the Missouri river cattlemen , and they are agitating the question of the best method of obtaining from it. In the "Village ol Protection op-Wocd" ( so called by the Indians because - cause the weeds cover the ground for miles at this point and grow very largo ] arc the arrow-grounds. Just before starting on the annual hunt they wont in largo numbers to the pop-weed village for arrows. The needles from the largest pop-weeds are very long , and when baked In hot ashes become very hard and strong , and make good arrows. When they found a large pop-ball they would shoot into it with arrows and cause It to explode and throw out its needles , which they gathered and prepared for use. The Indians went arrowing late in the fall , and before the i > op-weed ball commenced to rollover the prairies all the Indian villages were deserted. This was the order of the tribe every fall to get their horses and other stock out of the way of tint dangerous pop-wood to prevent them from running away. The pop-week is as yet unknown to botanists. A FOIUIKU DAKOTIAN. The Iiatn Conjurer , Hermann. London Globe : Ho seemed to defy the impossible. I remember onceon 'Change in Buenos Ayres ( whore , by the way , no was an extensive and most unlucky oper ator ) , at an hour when the building was crowded with men. after a short delay , on being challenged to exhibit some tour do force , ho lifted his hat and displayed his own boot on his head this , bo it ob served , without going near a table or , as far as any ono bad noticed , seeking any concealment for his bare foot or oppor tunity to remove his hat. For special occasions he spared no time , trouble or expense beforehand that some featmlgh wear the appearance of complete spon taniety. Mention has already been made in some pf the newspapers of his casting the sultan's watch into the Bosphorous That I did not witness , but I wai in Con stuntinoplo when ho dined with the Brit ish minister and a uumber of other gen tlemen. In the course of the meal ho raised his class.whlch had lust been fillet with champagne , aboyo his head , and attracting the attention of all present bi crying , "Oh , what beautiful wine I' caused the champagne to sink in the glass and vanish. Ou being replenished th nine thing occurred ; t'io ' third time the ; lass disappeared nlso. Now , the glamor f this seemed purely incidental to the ituutlon , but 1 happened to know the orcthoiighl and energy which had been xpended over It. especially in connection with the dllllcultios of ascertaining the > rcclso pattern of the champagne glasses ikely to bo used and of matching them , Ipccmlties like this wore planned tor xccutlon at all-tho courts where his skill was manifested ; qud there is no doubt hat his personalInfluencehis adroit ness , ami his qxtrnordlnary familiarity vlth nil tongues and patois were Invoked nore than once by those In authority for other ends. " , . Ho would never suffer himself to bo outdone by any other necromancer ; hence ils possession of apparatus which he do- pised. His gold-fish bowls were larger dan those of other prcstldlgitateurs ( ono , leforo mo as I write , now serves as a utllcicntly capacious bath for u family of thirty little Japanese snakes ) ; where hey worked with pigeons , ho used fowls and geese ; and from thu hat ho would n-oduco not merely tin goblets , card- loard boxes and compressible balls , but uutal tea kettles and lighted lamps. His ingularly long.spare body.admittcd of his dress-coat containing two tiers of "load- tig pockets , " anduflordedgreat facilities or concealment. When at Cairo ho was rivalled by a troupe of Arab snake- charmers , and , in spite of his detestation of serpents , ho forced himself to imitate heir maneuvers with two cobras from vhich the fangs had been taken , Such was his horror of these reptiles , however , hat more than once he was impelled to rush from the stage and tear oil his coat , whore they wcro lying , snugly stowed away in the profondcs. Ho designed an ngonious wand for transformation into a Jiving snake. This was a hollow tube , minted black to resemble his isual magia wand. A snake of suitable length was caused to enter this , nnd a metal cap was screwed firmly on as soon us its tail was n. The head would now project about an inch at the other end , over which a rather loosely fftting cap was placed , the whole then looking exactly exactly like in ordinary ebony baton. To the screwed end a fine silk cord was attached , mssing up the sleeve , across the chest icncatn the shirt front , nnd down the other arm , where it was tied around the wrist , the length being so adapted that t admitted of the wand being held with both hands when the arms wcro bent , but effected its rapid withdrawal up the sleeve when the opposite arm was ex- endod. ( Ono of the vanishing bird cages s managed on a similar principle. ) The ooso cap was to bo removed and palmed with ( say ) the left hand , the snake's head exposed , grasped and drawn forward , the action of extension causing the wand to disappear. The effect was marvellous , jut he never used it in public , nor would he avail himself of the services ot i couple of young boa-constrictors which ' tamed for him at his own request. In South America , however , he sometimes urned a cage full of brilliant plumagcd anagors into bloated swamp toads , hough ho didn't like them either. "UOBBINO" .UP SERENELiY.
