THE FIRST CONTEMPT CASE , It is Decided in Favor of the Property Owner's Innocence , SIGHTS AMONG THE SINNERS. A Heap Factory to llo Homoveil Hero Gift or the Masonic Lodges A llcnvj Petition For Light * Chats With Citizens. Brown Not In Contempt. Yesterday morning Judge Carson pro ceeded to clean out his pigeon holes , and prepare for the coming of JuUgc Decmer , who will preside tit the next term of the district court here. The most important decision which he rendered was in the case of Mr. George D. Brown , u well- known citizen , owner of the St. Louis house. It was charged that Mr. Brown had been guilty of contempt of court , because the injunction restraining the owner of the property , and the tenant , Doerlllnger , from allowing liquors to bo sold on the premises , had been violated. Judge Carson ycsterdav discharged Mr. Brown , holding that there was no suf ficient showing that the sales of liquor had been by his consent. The evidence showed that when the injunc tion was issued he warned the occupants of the building not to violate it and re ceived assurances that the writ would bo obeyed and that nothing would be sold. It seemed that he could do nothing moro than this , as ho had leased the building for legitimate uses and could not force the occupants out. Neither could he be expected to stand with a club and keep them from violating the writ. This being the lirst case of the kind tried ITere , the result has been watched for with eager ness. A motion was made to have the injunction , which was issued by Judge Thornell , done away with , but Judge Carson- over ruled this , and the injunction stands. Another case decided was that of Beebo vs. the Equitable Insurance com pany , of Waterloo , la. This was the old case in which Randall , the agent of the company , fitted up an ollico hero , and cut a wide swath , ordering furniture and goods and then shipping out , leaving the creditors unsatisfied. The company claimed that Randall had no authority for contracting any such bills. In the first triaL a judgment was rendered in favor of fro cbc , but a now trial was ob tained , and now Judge Carson decides in favor of the company. An appeal will be taken to the supreme court again. A few cases of smaller public interest were disposed of. The now term , with Judge Dcoraer presiding , opens on the 80th. Among the Sinners. The cool weather yesterday morning had its effect upon Police Judge Ayles- worth , He was at his accustomed place bright and early. As usual ho lighted ono of his choice brand of cigars. He evidently believes the perfume of the cigar preferable to that of the sub jects before him. However this may be , the judge is al ways in good humor when he has a cigar lighted. Whether this particular cigar ho was enjoying braced him up , or the weather , the reporter present had no method of discovering. But ono tiling is certain , ho didn't "monkey" any. linsiness moved and so did those brought before his honor. "L. A. Brown , charged with being drunk , " said City Marshall Guanclla. "Stop for ward a little closer , "remarked his honor. "What do you plead ; guilty or not guilty ? " "Guilty , " replied Brown. "Did you have a ride in the patrol wagon ? " was the question put to him. "Yes sir. " "Well , that will bo fifty cents more , making your line 'eight ton' " concluded the judge. J. B. Mitchell was allowed to skip , if he'd run for the train to go to DCS Moincs , where ho had a sick wifo. The judge thinking she needed the money that otherwise would go into the city's iunds. on account of her husband being found drunk and asleep. E. W. McCurdy , n drunk , received $7.00 line , as quick as ho could say ho was guilty. Louis Welch , drunk ; L. Davis , F. Peter son and C. Allison , for disturbance of the .icaco . , were hold for hearing later in the day. Jake Shoup had been on ono of his periodicals , or at least , was charged with disturbance of the peace. He didn't think it right for him to plead guilty , but .finally concluded , for reasons best known to himself , that ho \\ould. A.s an extra pull was given on the cigai the judge remarked , ' 'If ' you people insist on riding in the patrol wagon , you'll have to pay for it. "That riJp will cost you 50 cents extra , Shoup , making the entire fine and costs $10.10. "Can you pay it ? " Shoup concluded to leave his gold watch as security. After which the judge breathed casioi and began a pleasant chat with outsid ers. ers.All the business having been completed in as short time as It takes to toll it. AFTEIIKOON SEhSION. It wis : 3:30 : o'clock when the afternoon session began. Since morning the police had ar rested George Roper , who was placet on trial with the other young men , Peter son , Allison , Davis and Webster , til charged with disturbing the peace. Each prisoner was given plenty ol chauco to state his side ol the case aftei suvoral of the police had testified. The testimony went to show that sov > cral young men , all under nineteen yean of ago , started out at their usual place o : meeting , a suloou , and , after plnyiiu cards and billiards , started for a round' up of "Rotten Row" after midnight. Ro per was taken in charge by the police but was allowed to go homo on a sucrei promise. He did not seek his cot unti after a racket near "Nigger Texas" divi about 8 o'clock. "In regard to billiard and drinking sa loons , the ordinances arc vary seriou about allowing young men ot your agi even inside the places , " said the judge "and each of you are fined f5 and costs. ' The case of A. L. Freeze , charged will vagrancy , was dismissed , there being m witnesses against him present. Mrs. Shea , charged with being drunl yesterday morning , was brought befor Ills honor. Ho requested her to rcmaii until she felt "stronger" and was betto able to walk homo. "Oh , judge , lot in go home. " she pleaded. "Ah , now , Mi Aylesworth , you're a nice man , so yoi are , and the likes of you should not holt me hero. I would never bo half so wil as I am now if you'd hold mo longer. ' But slit ) went up stairs in the female dc partmont , among the furniture Bhe hai just a few minutes before demolished. A Mntionlc Gift. T. H. Marvin , of Cedar Rapids , gran secretary , A. F. and A. M. of Iowa , wh delivered the address on the ocoasion o the laying of the oorncr-Btono of the Mr sonio temple in this city , has presentee through Brother J. B. Atkins , to the tw lodges in Council Bluffs a beautiful set c j unoral symbols , coutlstiog of a master gavel nnd senior and junior warden's columns. The master's pavel is ot ivory , around which is n wreath ot nocacla carved in relief. The wardens' columns are ebonv and gold , fluted , surmounted by carved wreaths , and boar a silver plate appropriately inscribed , ono of them being n broken column faithfully copied from the Masonic chart. The symbols are eminently appropriate for use on funeral occasions and will add to the impressivoncss of such occasions. The lodges are greatly pleased by this evidence of the fraternal regard of the grand secretary , and appointed a joint committee , who drafted and forwarded to Brother Parvln the following resolu tions : Whereas , Brother T. S. Parvln , priuid sec retary of Inwa , tins presented to UlutT Cltv Lodge No. 71 , and Kxcelslor Koiltro No. 259 A. P. nud A. .M. . Council Ulults , lowo. a master's uavel ot handsomely carved Ivory , and t\\o beaut it til columns for tlie veterans , for use on funernl occasions , Kesolvcd , That we hereby express to our worthy brother our high appreciation , not only of these eleennt symbols , but of the warm fraternal feeling that piompted the gift , and assure him that wo will ever cher ish them , not for tbelr Intrinsic vnluo nlone , but as a reminder of the plcasantand prollta- blo hours spent In brotherly Intercourse here , nnd ns a reminder that we should BO meet , act and part that we may all bo In order when the Giand Master of the universe shall call up the crnnd ledge above. Kesolved , That a copy of these resolutions bo spread upon the minutes ot our lodges , and that a copy of the same , properly en dorsed , bo tnrwnrded to our worthy brother , ( Irand Secretary T. S. Parvln , at Cedar Rapids. A Bonp Factory. Edward Deer , a soap manufacturer of Creston , was in the city yesterday visit ing C. J. Colby and looking over this city with a view to the removal of his factory to this city. He has to ship tallow , etc. , from South Omaha to Creston , and thinks the location here preferable to the present one ; also for the reason that ho lias quite a demand for his goods in this city and Omaha. Prnylng For Light. A petition is being circulated and re ceiving many signatures of property owners , in favor of the adoption of elec tric lights for street purposes. The lights placed upon the tower of the new court house have demonstrated that moro light can be had in that part of the city by this arrangement than by many gas lights on ordinary post * . Those who have observed the differcnco and investi gated the matter seem enthusiastic , and they are urging the council to moke some contract by which this system of lighting can be secured. The electric light com pany has presented a score of different propositions , from which it seems that the council can select one or moro , which would bo in keeping with the citv's finances , and which would give the citfcons the needed relief from darkness. There seems no doubt but that the petition will have such a quan tity and quality of names attached us to convince the council that the property owners , who will have to foot the bills , want the electric light given a chance. The gas company is doing its best to se cure a new contract from the city , and it is understood that some of the aldermen , are rather inclined to favor the gas com pany for reasons best known to them selves. The petition may show thorn how the citizens feel in regard to having the streets well lighted. The Club Hootng. The work on the now club ropnis has progressed as far as it can until the ar rival of a mantel , which has been or dered in the oast. As soon as this ar rives it will bo put in place , the decora tions of the wall about it will bo finished in a few hours and then the rooms will bo ready * for the furniture. Mr. Else- man , of the executive committee , and who has been vorv active in the work of fitting up the rooms , is expected to re turn from the cast to-morrow. Some of the furnishings have been selected by him in the eastern markets , iuut soon after his arrival homo the rooms will bo ready for occupancy. The club will start in its season about the 1st of September , and the rooms will bo as elegant as any city of this size can show , cither cast or west. CHATTY C1T1KI3NS. ONE OF MANY. "I hate to sco any moro money spent on these old city buildings , " remarked a Fourth ward property owner yesterday. "I know there are a good many taxpay ers who feel just as I do. Instead of spending more money in this way the city ought to go right ahead nnd build a regular city hall. Let them buy right through to Main street and get up a good building , to cost $50,000 or so at leastand have nil the city ollices together. The city is largo enough to 1myo a decent sort of n city building , and it is foolishness to keep spending money on a lot of little two-story things. " TIIH MISbINO 110 < ltl > OF TltADE. "I see the HKE is trying to find out what has become of the board of trade. You know , awhile ago , there was a great hurrah about reorganizing it. Well , it was reorganized and newolHccrs-elected , and all of us old fellows wcro kicked out. Have you heard of it since ? The old board of trade was slow enough , and it was hard work to get a quorum out. but wo used to get ono occasionally , and we did manage to secure a number of valu able enterprises and improvements. Since the reorganization what has the now force done ? " SEt.F-SUItUF.NI > EUr.D CONFIDENCE MAN. "I had a follow come to 11:0 : not loner ago , " baid the city marshal , "who seemed very penitent , and who said he was a de serter from the regular army. Ho seemed so honest about the matter that I took him in charge , until I could write to the address he gave mo , for he frankly told mo the company and the regiment ho be. longed to , and where he supposed they were then. 1 saw the follow had been on a terrible spree , and didn't biispect anything wrong about his story. After some days I got replies that they didn't know anything about such a man. Ho then admitted that he had been lying about it , but the reabon he did so was that ho had got to drinking so heavy that ho made up his mind that the only way to sober up waste to got into some place whore ho couldn't have a drink. So he surrendered himself as a deserter and was locked up. 1 was hot when I found out what trouble 1 had been to for nothing. I had bi'on sort of calculating on the $30 reward that is paid for deserters. It made mo mail for a little , but when I came to think It over I concluded to help the fellow. 1 got him a job at the transfer and ho kept right at work as steady as a clock for some time. 1 see now that ho has gone I don't know whore but I sup pose he has got aturtcd on another spree aud pulled out. " A HOPEFUL LIQUOR DEALF.lt. A wholesale liquor dealer remarks : "I made up my mind that there was not going to bo any change In the prohibi tion law. 1 was pretty well fixed In that belief , but lately I have changed my mind. I rather thin now that there will bo a change this very winter. I find that at Uea Moincs there Is a sort of split , and that several hundred republicans even are joining In a demand for a change. The law touches the pocketbooks and the property of everybody there , and some ot them are squirming as bad as ii they were in the business. In Page and in Adams county 1 tind there Is a disposition on the part of republican ! ) tq secure some representatives who favor n change. I've been watching things very elosey | , for it means dollars and a good many of them to me , but Pvo changed my mind , and I really believe that tnerc will be. a change made in the law this winter. I only make the predic tion for what it is worth , which may not bo much , but I really believe that thcro will bo enough republicans acting with the democrats to change the law. That is ono reason why I am not making the business changus which I planned a short time ago , when I thought differ- cutly.1 The Advantage'of Using Ilcckninn's Patent Looking Bracket On Fence anil Hailing. Thcro are few inventions that com mend themselves so strongly to the prac tical man as Beckman's Locking Urncket for fences and railings. With it there can be no rottlug of joints. Any panel can bo'readily taken out and and firmly replaced without damage. For gas pipe railing or fence the ends of the gas pipe cannot wear the post as the back blade of the lock protects the posts. Iho whole fence , either picket or bar , can bo easily taken up and moved to some other place without any damage. It is so simple that anybody can build a fence with the same , and for durability it cannot be sur passed. Ono thousand head of ono , two nnd three-year-old steers for sale.

The Drummer Got a Doao for Onoo Minneapolis Journal : A traveling man boarded a passenger train at Bismarck at 5 p. m. At 0 p , m. he was occupying a double beat with a plump brunette and a slim blonde , the latter of whom remarked that she was "married but Hattie was not. " The blonde was perusing a novel , one of the kind sold at two prices by the insinuating "peanut. " The drummer .vantcd . to bo agreeable and pleasant , so 10 asked her If she would not read a chapter or two to him. "Oh , certainly , I like to road out loud. " So she gave a synopsis of the chapters she had read. 'ihcro was u false marriage , a hidden will , a divorce , a baby , an elopement , a for tune , a false heir , and several other nice features in the synopsis. 'I he fair reader ' ' : iad a voice o'no of the sharp , pierc- ng kind that could insinuate itself nto the deaf side of a post. At 7 p. m. she had finished the synopsis and com menced on the remainder of the story. At II p. m. she had not slipped a cog in her tongue-working machineiy , and the 'also heir hnd the upper hand. At 11 p. D. there had been no intermission ex cept for a sip of alkali ater which cleared her throat. Everybody else wanted to go to sleep , but nobody could. At 1 a. m. the story was still being poured into the satiated ears of the unfortunate drummer. There was now a chance for the truly good to get their reward in the story while the false heir and the drummer wore getting the worst of it. At 1:20 : a. m Fanro was reached. Every body who could pot off and the last thing that mot their eyes was a paralyzed drum mer , while the sibilant tones of a woman's voice were wafte.d out on the still night air. "God pitv that woman's husband , " growled an old bachelor in the rear scat , while a maiden of uncertain ago whis pered. "Serves that odious drummer right for flirting so shamefully. " A Healthy Stomach s a blessing for which thousands of our dyspeptic countrymen and women sigh in vain , and to obtain which swallow much medicine unavailingly. For no ailment probably are there so many alleged rcmbdics as for dyspopsid. The man of humbug is constantly glutted with the dollars and dimes of those who resort to one nostrum after another in the vain hope of obtaining relief , at least , from this vexatious and obstinate malady. Experience indicates Hostet- tcr's stomach Bitters as a means of eradicating dysyopsla , in which a firm rolianro can bo placed. No remedy has in three decades and over established such a reputation , none has received such unqualified professional sanction. It is an admirable invigorant , because it en riches the blood , and not only this , but it thoroughly regulates the bowels , kidneys and bladder.
