The Clab to Be Not Only For Pleasure Oat llnnlneiit The Lost Grad ing llenolntlon Uncle llonsc. A Social Bonn ! of Trade. There is some talk of forming n now board of trade , or at least n reorganiza tion of that body. By previous experi ence it has been shown that a board of trade in Council Bluffs , as well as other cities , amounts to very little. In this city there has been llttlo work done by the board compared with what a body of that kind could have done had it had thn enthusiasm necessary to back it. The club has been organized by the busi ness men of this city , and besides being on a good financial basis it is composed of the very best business material in the city. Its rooms are conveniently and luxuriously arranged for the reception of visitors to this city , and there seem few if any objections to letting the club do the work supposed to bo attended to by a board of trade. The club rooms are as elegantly furnished as these of any city in the west , and although , perhaps , not as spacious ns the rooms of the Omaha club , they are as elegant m their appointments. The merchants and professional men meet here , aiut knowing it to bo to their in terest , they can constitute themselves a board of trade and use their influence in the proper direction. It is in their rooms and through their hospitality that the weak spot in a manufacturer's heart can bo reached , and many a manufacturer can , when properly approached , bo secured for Council Bluffs. Manufactur ing is what the city needs and there seems no good reason why it cannot bo 1 ill. It has proved almost impossible at times to get even ; i quorum of the old board of trade to attend a meeting. Not a night will pass without there being a goodly number of representative busi ness men , who can bo easily gathered at the club rooms , to consult on any matters of public moment , and take the initial stops. Human Frailttei. Business in Judge Aylesworth's court yesterday morning was about as usual. Joseph Mahoney , a homesick Minnoupo- is youngster of seventeen , charged with agrancy , was discharged , as he said ho would immediately start for home and profit by the good advice given him. Frank Mottor , alias "Suot , " a hack- driver , was taxed $21.30 for assault and battery. The victim of his surgical skill was William Jefleries , whoso scalp ho 'aid open , the instrument used being a wagon wrench. When informed of the amount of his line ho expressed a desire to have Jetferies arrested on the same charge and his wish was gratified. James Owens , a farmer of Oak township , Mills county , was charged with being drunk. Ho told a story oftho unfortunate allhc- tion that caused the extreme unsteadi ness of his legs and the pain in his head , but admitted that ho had been in a saloon for an hour just previous to his ar rest. His honor said he had no wish to fine a man for sickness , and discharged him with the advice to keep away from even the smell of whisky hereafter , as the odor seemed to make his ail met worse. James Adams came up smiling , and m answer to the judge's query , said he had slept very well indeed. Ho was regis tered as the "umborcll man" the previ ous night , but now guvo his proper name and said ho was a tinner from Syracuse , N. Y. Ho admitted that he was very drunk when arrested , and had money to pay u fine. When invited to contribute $8.10 to help the cause along he wanted his fine remitted , and promised to leave forthwith for Fremont , Neb. , whore ho has work , but the incredulous judge was afraid ho could not withstand the en treaties of friends in Omaha , and would not have it so. The lioat Grading. The resolution at the last meeting of the council , calling for the grading of Sixth , Seventh and Eighth streets , was leclared lost. The vote stood three to two , Aldermen Wells , Metcalf and Lucy voting for the resolution , und Aldermen Keller and Danforth voting against it. The vote was declared by Alderman Wells , who was presiding , as lost on the ground that It required two-thirds of the council to vote in its favor. The alder men who voted against the resolution justify themselves in doing so on the ground of economy , wanting to save the city from the expense of the inter sections. On the other hand it is claimed , with a good showing of sense , that the resolution would have secured a largo amount of improvement with little outlay from the city's funds. The real effect of the resolution is to compel railroad companies to till in their yards and tracks end raise them to grade. Mayor Gronowcg is of the opin ion that the resolution should have boon declared carried , as there were three votes for it and only two against it , which , under the rnles , as ho construes thorn , carried the resolution. The fire system was accepted by a resolution passed by such a vote exactly. If ono was void the other was. There is a dif ference , under the rnles. between im provements petitioned foe by the prop erty-owners and these ordered by the council of their own accord. Thn Major Wanes a Pension. The statement has boon going the rounds of the Iowa press that Dr. Cross was trying to get the state of Iowa to grant him money enough to recompense him in part , at least , for the damages ho had sustained by being arrested and tried for the murder of Dr. McCuuo. Most of those papers which have commented on the claim have oritlcl/.ed it very sharply , but this does not seem to have dampened the ardor of "Major" Williams , the eon tiionco man who was arrested and trlod for killing Hughes in the old Union Avenue - nuo hotel. Ho has kept very shady slnco he was acquitted and allowed no time to be wasted in putting a safe distance be * tween himself anoT Council Bluffs. Ho still keeps his whereabouts a secret but writes a verv touching letter in regard to his situation : ' To My Council Bluffs Friends ( that Is , It I have any ) : I happened to come across a paper by which 1 learn that Dr. Cross is mov- ine to get the state of Iowa to give him dam- axes on account of his having been Impris oned and sentenced to be hung , and after wards declared not guilty. 1 am clad to learn that there Is fair prospect ot his being given his claim. He ought to get at least 1500,000 , I wouldn't want to go through such an experience as that for half that amount , and the doctor is twice us good a man aa I am. lie iiifTered moro than I did. lie was tried twice , If I remember right , and one time was found pullty and came very near Having to stretch , but he got a new trial and was acquitted. While 1 would not have one cent cut off his allow ance , yet I feel that ray allowance should bo as much as his , for while he suffered more , yet he did not sutler as unjustly as I did. 1 was locked up In the county Jail for a lome time , was tried as a murderer , but without even going : on the stand myself , 1 was ac quitted. No jury has ever said I was guilty. Dr. Cross admitted that he killed Dr. Mo Kune , but proved that he did it In Mlf-de- ftnse. I nerer admitted Uut.l killed Uuguea , There were many who said I shot Hughes down In cold blood , and some believe U now , but they did not swear to It positively enoiuh to convict me , and I never admitted that 1 killed him at all. 1 have always held mvsolf to be Innocent , 'and no judicial has said I was guilty. The county has had to spend about 310,000 In trying Dr. Cross , but one trial was all 1 had , and that a cheap sort ot afTnlr , so far as the county was concerned. Under all these ' circumstances I think I am justly entitled teas as much damages as the doctor. Further than this I really need the money more than the doctor , lie has a better pro fession than I. The confidence business Is rather unprofitable now. It has hnd too much free advcrtlsment I think that the state of Iowa would give me half ot what I think the doctor expects * 500.0 )1 would be satisfied. I could then start a savings bank , and after a while could gather up a stake In the usual method. It you could see me In my present deplorable condition , and realize the scarcity of suckers , 1 MM sure you would take pity on me , rtml urge the grand state of Iowa to pension me liberally. Please get up a petition to the governor , and help me get Una through. Yours Confidentially , MA.IOU WILLIAMS. Watches , clocks , jewelry , etc. , the best in the city. C.

Uncle Ham's Hnuae , The bids for finishing up the interior of the now govcrnmont building wcro given in yesterday's telegraph col umns of the BEE. It appears that the Council Bluffs bidders were several thousand dollars above others , and the contract therefore will doubtless go away from homo. The bids include the whole interior finishing , plastering , lathing , hardware , inarblo work , iron work , carpentering , etc. The con tractor. wnoHver no may bo , cannot begin work until thn plumbing is done. Strang & Co , of OmiUia , hare the con tract for this , and fhe work is to be com pleted sixty days from September 0 , the date of the contract. The steam heating is to bo completed by the 80th of Novem ber , a Cincinnati firm having that con tract. After that the work for which these last published bids were made will begin. It appears that the day of final entry upon the actual occuoany of the building is yet some _ wuysotf. * Dr. J , T. Van Noss. physician and sur geon , oflico room 3 , Opera House block , will attend professional calls day or night. Residence corner Eighth avenue and Fifteenth street. Ghantauqua Assembly. Notwithstanding the outward weather of last evening Masonic temple was fairly filled with these who are laboring for the establishment of a Chautauquu assembly hero. President L. W. Tulleys presided and stirrinc addresses were delivered by Rev. D. H. f'ooloy , Rev. Dr. Phelps , Rev. T. J. Mackay , Mr. L. W. Kos and others. The advantages to bo secured were ably and fully presented. Letters wcro read showing the success that has already at tended similar institutions elsewhere. Questions wore freely asked and an- swerd enlightening those who were not by personal experience familiar with Cnautiiuqua work. Altogether the meet ing was rather informal than otherwise , but great impetus was given the work on hand , and its details , leading to u final consummation of this earnestly wished for result , will be the more ardently prosecuted. Music was interpnrsed by a quartette constituted of Miss Funny Wcs- cott , Messrs. Paul Tulleys and Frank and Perry Budollct. The Frxloral Court. The United States district court for the southern district of Iowa convened here yesterday morning and will bo in ses sion the greater part of the week. The grand jury was called and then dismissed until 10 tliis morning. The petit jury was dismissed until 1UO : p. m. Judge Shiras opened court but Judge Love pre sides at this term. . Three now members wcro admitted to the United States bar : Gcorgo H. Stillmun , of this city. Burg Brown , of Adams county , and M. M. Beck , of Avocu.

Prominent attorneys are present from all parts of the state , among the number being Judge Hubbard , of Cedar Rapids ; District Attorney McPherson , of Red Ouk , VV. T. Rankin , of Keokuk , and Senator Clark , of Clarinda. Hn Preferred Walking. The patrol wagon yesterday answered the call from box No. 40. Jake Shoup caused it. Ho had got drunk ugain. But when ho saw the patrol wagon ho sob ered up and informed the police that ho would walk to jail. "I won't ride in that wagon , " he said. "I shall not pay for it , if 1 do. Remember I am willing to walk and will refuse to pay for the rule. " Ho evidently know that the ride to jail would cost him GO cents extra. The bar fixtures and furniture of the the St. Louis house will bo sold at sheriffs sale , Monday , Oct. 2 , at 0 o'clock a. m. Death of Mrs. Ingolrtaby. Mrs. Mary Inguldsby died at 8:30 : o'clock Monday night at her late resi dence , No. 223 South Sixth street. Sbo was a native of Scotland , of the town of Forrest , and came to this town when fif teen years of age. She was in her sixty- eighth year , and wasadovotod Christian. She leaves a family of eight children. The funeral will take place from St. Fran cis Xavier church at 10 o'clock Thursday morning. Friends are invited to the funeral without further notice. Thn Government or Cities. Scribnor for October : If popular gov ernment and universal suffrage are to have any real meaning , the people must bo placed in a position to know what is going on ; whereas nil our present ar rangements , whether by the secrecy of committee rooms , or by that of executive officials , who never appear before the public at all , are such that the people never know any thing of that with respect to which they uro yet expected to judge and to decide. .In the New England town meeting , the selectmen appear once or twice a year before the whole assembly of the inhabitantsand are cross-examined by individuals. The test is so severe , and the judgment follows so swiftly at the elections , that corrup tion and even political intrigue are almost unknown. When a town becomes too largo for such a meeting , the change is made to a city government with ono or two representative councils. In theory those councils should do the work of the town mooting that is , watch the course of administration , enforce responsibility , and keep the people in formed. In practice they get possession of u largo part of the administration , break up and destroy responsibility , and oQectuuily conceal both their own doincs and these of the cxccutivo. The offset and safeguard m entrusting oxtensizo powers to n mayor is in providing a tribunal before which ho and his agents may promptly , easily and continuously bo hold to public account. If a body of ODD or two hundred men from all parts of Now York were to assemble , say once u monthbeing debarred by law from any interference with administration , having no power to dictate any action or to vote any appropaiation except upon proposal of the executive , but with full power of suggestion , of criticism , and of veto ; if the mayor and his chief oflicials were to appear publicly before this body at each session to submit their plans , answer questions , and ask for votes of money , the people would bo perfectly able to judge of the character and ac tions ' of their servants , and to express their opinions at the poll * . Then , and not till then , can Wo hold universal suf frage responsible for full uro of govern ment. Are you weak and weary , overworked and tired ?

Philadelphia Herald : Ono of the many pleasant incidents during the centennial celebration last week duo to the open hearted hospitality shown by citizens to visitors occurred on Friday , and is worthy of note. Charles Hanccr , iof Choycnno , came cast to take part in the exercises , bring ing with him two nieces from Davenport , la. They started out on Friday to view the parade , the first object being to obtain good positions without being compelled to stand in the crowd. On passing the southwest corner of Thirteenth and Chestnut streets , Mr. Hanger observed some workmen erecting seats in the show window of the store of Thackarn Sons & Co. Ho offered to bear the expense of their construction for the use of three seats. Charles Thackara , of the firm , was summoned , and learning whore the visitors were from generously offered them seats and gave them every attention possible. Ono of the young ladies happened to address Mr. Hanger as "Undo Charlie" while Mr. Thackara was present. The fact of them bearing the same Christian name was commented upon ns a rather singular coincidence , particularly as they had been born on the same day. "Aro you n married man * " inquired Mr. Thackara of his new-found friend. "I am , " was the reply. I was married on the 27th day of May. 1873. " "That's singular. That's the day on which I waa married. My wife's name 13 Ida. " "So is mine , " almost shouted the west erner. "Have you any children ? " "Yes , I have ono son. " "So have L What's your boy's name ? " "Fred. " "Well , this is the most singular thing I ever heard of. That's my bov's name , too. " The comparison ended here , however , for Master Hunger was born nine days before Master Thackara. The singular circumstance of the two men bearing the same Christian name ; being born and married on the same days ; both marrying Indies bearing the sume name , aim each having but ono son , and these sons bearing the sumo name , was the principal subject of con- versatiin in a group of friends who occu pied the windows in Thackara's store for the remainder of the day , und the acci dental acquaintance of the gentlemen will no doubt ripen into a friendship which will continue through the remain der of their lives.

A young Englishman arrivdd in the city to-night and registered at a hotel as Carter ( J. Gordon , from Savannah , Ga. Shortly after ho created quite a sensation by walking up and down the principal streets clad in knee breeches , a poakcd straw hat , und a 'huge ' capo overcoat , although the weather was sultry. His eccentric conduct soon attracted atten tion , particularly as ho was lavish with money , slapping down f 100 bills for trif ling articles und declining to accept any change. It appears that lie arrived from England n few months ago , burdened with more money than he knew what to do with , and to gratify a singular freak made u bco-linc for Texas. Hcanne that the town of Ballinger was n good place at which to invest capital in lands he quickly went there and caused consider able astonishment by not only buyine lands , but by buvmg almost every thing in the city. He purchased n train ofajvagous , purchased all the guns and rifles and pistols in the town , lured a number of men to servo him , and then organizeo a force to hunt Indians and Ouf- flftlo. Such is n history of his earliest exploits. The Indian hunting scheme full through , however , and the eccentric young Eng lishman took a trip to San Francisco und soon left that city for Georgia. He was evercome with a desire to see Texas again , however , und he explained his ac tion tonight by saying that he was par ticularly impressed with Galrcstou , und thought he'd buy out several wealthy syndicates. Whatever truth there may be in his story , ho certainly scums to be overstocked with money. Occasionally he would bo surrounded by curious groups on the street corners , und before leaving them ho would present two or three HI the crowd with a roll of bills. H e said to the Globe-Democrat correspondent pendent that his next objective point was St. Louis , where ho intended to bo during the Grand Army encampment , and where he intended spending bushels o f money. How the Chinese Scare the Drivll. San Francisco Examiner : The begin ning of the annual Chinese festival known as "Gheo Koung Tung" took place at the joss house of the Ghee Kong Tung society , in Spofford ullpy. The alloy was ablaze with candles und sandal paper which emitted malodorous fumes. At the entrance of the joss house were two giant hgurcs made of paper , repre senting great potentates of a former period. Inside , candles and punks were burning amid decorations of most bril liant colored papers , giving it u most de cidedly oriental appearance. On a plat form in front of each of their special idols were all the fruits of the season- candles , cakes und other Chinese luxur ies. Sandal wood was burning on every side. Promptly at 13 o'clock midnight , a procession formed in front or the joss house , headed by several pagans bearing burning wood on a wire screen , witn which they lit the prepared parcels com posed of punks und greasy paper , whicli were placed in front of each door on the line of march. After this carao the Ian torn-curriers , followed by the prominent members of the society , who were dressed in long gowns und a peculiar shaped turban hats on tiier ) lio.uls ; About a dozen Chinese children worn in the w.ako of the procession , a ! o in holiday attire. The latter uro known us the Ghee Kouug Fung Cheng Tsing.or the societies' altar boys. After marching around Dunont. Washington and Clay streets , and th alloys abounding in 'that neighborhood' they re-entered the Joss house and the feasting began. The festival lusts four days , and each day fr m two to three hundred China- men are fed gratis. The festival is an ancient ono , and is held at every city where Chinamen who belong to the so ciety abound. The Ghee Koung Tung festival is a feast in honor of the great dead. The burning of the papers , candles and punks is , it is said , to keep the evil spirit away from the living as well as the dead. This religious society is the richest as well ns the most powerful amongst the Chinese. From i5,000 to f 10,000 nro spent every year in this city in the idolatrous festiv ity. This fund consists of contributions from members of the society. FINE MILLINERY. New Fall Styles Open. 1514 Dtuglaa St. , . OMAHA , JVVb LATEST BY TELEPHONE !
