party at St. Joseph's academy Thurttday
evening. About twenty-live couple
were present.

Thursday evening of next week to de
cide on some important matters. It is
desired that every member should plun

"Work commenced yesterday on six of
the cottages to be built by O. J. Colby
on Eighth avenue , west of the transfer.
Mr. Colby is planning on building
twenty houses in that vicinity this full.
Charles Henry , who was Injured at
the Crystal mill explosion , is improving
rapidly and is now out of ( lunger , lie
will escape , with a boinewhat disfigured
face , which is far bettor than was ex
pected.
A meeting of the Woman's Christian
association is called for this afternoon
at 3 o'clock at the Cottage hospital. The
intention is to reorgunix.e the industrial
echool , and nil interested are urged to
bo present.
Miss Lizzie Figley was surprised
Thurbday evening by about twenty
couples of her young friends gathering
at her home on Madibon street. Misses
Kittle Davis and Mattie Bradley planned
the happy time.
There were several deeds placed on
record yesterday , showing that the
Union Pacific is still buying lots on
Tenth avenue , evidently for the pur
pose of establishing their promised
depot and tracks.
Dulby's military band has labored
under many difliculties , but is certainly
a great credit to this city. It merits
hearty supixn-t. In securing for next
week the Ida Clark Concert company it
has ventured much , but the public will
doubtless appreciate it and crowd the
opera house both evenings.
The new dynamo has arrived at the
electric light station , and the other new
machinery is all on the road and ex
pected daily. The dynamo has a ca
pacity for thirty-live lights , and as soon
as the now masts are erected the whole
city will bo abundantly lighted.
A collision between a Main street car
and a lumber wagon resulted disas
trously for the wagon tongue yesterday
afternoon at the corner of Main street
and Fifth avenue. Tnere have been
several of these collisions the past week
but no damage wan reported from any of
the others.
The Young Men's Democratic club
has a membership of i280. They have
upK ] > intcd a committee to receive Major
Anderson at the Northwestern depot

dence of Hon. W. H. M. Pusoy. Ho will
bo escorted to the opera houho by George
H. Jackson , W. H. Ware and Put Lacy.
The pluns for the now patrol house
show a very pretty building. The front
will be of pressed brick with stone
trimmings. A steam lire engine will bo
stationeu there , and there will be stalls
for an extra pair of horses. The build
ing will also contain a'largo store room ,
toilet room and a bed room for the
driver. It will bo a very desirable ad
dition to the city's buildings.
The walls of the now fire house on
upper Broadway are nearly completed.
The front of red and white granite and
fancy pressed brick is ono of the hand
somest in the city. The now truck is
finished and will bo shipped as soon as
the house is ready. If everything con
tinues favorable the building will bo oc
cupied in about another month.
The next criminal case to bo tried in
the district court is that in which Harry
Witmer is the defendant. Ho is charged
with stealing horses in Mills county.
The case was brought hero on a change
of venue. It is understood that the bur
den of the defense will bo to prove that
ho was in Omaha at the time the hor&es
were stolen , and that ho could not , there
fore , have been the fellow who took the
steeds.
John E. Horton died yesterday morn
ing ut 5 o'clock at his home , corner
Washington avenue and Frank street ,
of consumption , aged twonty-llvo years.
The funeral will take place to-day from
his late residence at 2 o'clock. The re
mains will bo interred at Fairviow.
Deceased was soon to have been married
to Miss Alice Forrest , of Dunlap , la. , as
the day hud been three times postponed
on account of his ill-health. She at
tended him during his illness and min
istered to the comfort of his last hours.
The "sawing" sociable at the resi
dence of Mrs. Oblinger on First nvcnuo ,
Thursday evening , was a decided suc
cess. There was an attendance of about
200. The prize , an elegantly decorated
saw and suwbuck , was won by Mr. Pool ,
as the best sawyer. The profits of the
evening were about $25. After a season
of dancing and social recreation the
company dispersed at 11:80 : o'clock , well
pleased with the evening's entertain
ment.
John Wilson and Pat Murphy were
each lined $8.10 yesterday morning for
imbibing too freely. Mike Hurley was
charged with vagrancy. Ho produced
over &KK ) from an inside pocket , and ex
plained that ho arrived late in the
night and didn't want to disturb auy-
ono,80 ho climbed into a Wabash freight
car , where ho was found a few minutes
later by Otllcor Tamisea and locked up.
The clause reading "without visible
means of support1' would hardly apply
in his ciu > e aim ho was discharged.
The ladles who arranged for the
Mikado wedding in connection with the
Japanese fair at the Congregational
church parlors Thursday evening , wore
Badly disappointed by the non-arrival
of the wedding garments. These cos
tumes were mysteriously delayed on the
road , and although money was spent
freely in a telegraphic search , no trace
of them could bo found. There was a
largo gathering of people anxious to
witness the novel ceremony , but they
wore obliged to content themselves with
the rest of the entertainment , which was
really not so dilllcult after till. Re
freshments wore served hy ladies in cos
tume , a biuuur presented opportunities
to make purchabcs of unique articles ,
and there was a general social good
time.

FOUR TIMES FOUND GUILTY ,
The Jury Hold Jones Responsible
For Killing Roberta.
THEY RECOMMEND MERCY.
Thf Purpose * of HIP Club Annoying

About Town.
Jones Found Guilty.
The jury in the Jonathan Jones cnso
was out all of Thursday night nnd all of
yesterday. In the afternoon they In
formed the judge that the chief point
on which thcro was a dif-ngreement was
in regard to the testimony of Mr. Par
ish. They desired to have the short
hand report of this evidence read over
to refresh the memories of some of the
jurors. The jury was accordingly called
Into the box again and the court repor
ter read from his notes what Mr. Parish
had sworn to. Parish was a justiceand
shortly before the killing of Roberts.
Jones came to him to see about getting
out a writ of replevin to got biU-k some
of the property which had been taken
from the place , when his family \yas
broken up and his wife left him. Parish
was at Jones' hout-o the night before the
homicide. There were others there
with him. Jones talked over his
troubles , but Parish thought that his
ire was more directed against
Perry Reed than Robert * . He did
not think at the time about Jones being
insane. He did not think either way
on that question , but in view of what
had occurred afterwards , and thinking
over the circumstances of that night hi
the light of these later circumstances ,
he was rather of the opinion that he was
insane that night. Ho had grave doubts
about his being sane then.
After the jury luul listened to the
reading of this testimony they retired
again to their room to further deliber
ate UH to what should bo their verdict.
Shortly before 0 o'clock the jury
rcaehed an agreement. The verdict
was that of guilty of manslaughter , but
recommending the defendant to mercy.
The jury is said to have stood seven to
five in favor of acquittal when they first
went out. The arguments nnd ballot
ing caused some changes evidently.
This is the fourth time that Jones has
been found guilty. The first time ho
was sentenced to fourteen years , but
after serving a short time ho secured a
new trial , nnd on this second trial was
found guilty and .sentenced to Peven
yearsj On the third trial , before Judge
Carson , the judge granted a new trial.
This fourth trial has resulted hi another
verdict of guilty.
Colonel Scott , now of Omaha , has been
conducting the defense throughout all
these battles. For nearly ten years ho
has stood between this man and the
penitentiary , and has battled with both
grit and brains , as few men have over
battled. He had a strong prosecution
to meet in this trial , as on the others ,
for with Colonel Daily and Mr. Mynster
on the part of the state , and with the
air filled with a feeling prejudicial to
Jones , it was no easy contest. Colonel
Scott is not made of that kind of stuff
which weakens in a tussle , and ho seems
to bo as confident of a final victory oven
on hearing this fourth voriet , as' when
lie went first into the court loom to de
fend Jones.

The Mission of the Club.
The members of the Council Bluffs
club are to hold an important business
meeting on Monday evening. The pre
liminary organization of the club hn
proved very satisfactory and successful.
The elegant rooms uro being used daily ,
and to the delight of the members and
visitors. There nro numerous details
which now need decision and action , in
*
order to have the work as
well as the entertainment of
the club move along on its full mis
sion. The success of the club thus
far surpassed the expectations of its
most sanguine starters. Every evening
there can bo found there more business
men thim in any other one resort in the
city. While there is the social element
to hold the members together , and
make the rooms headquarters for those
citizens who are interested in the wel
fare and growth of the city , the club
has a higher intent than merely to
amuse. These business and professional
gentlemen , capitalists nnd dealers ,
thus gather socially , not merely
to while away an idle half hour ,
or merely to got needed refat and recre
ation. They nro considering as well
movements which will result in the
building up of the city , the securing of
various helpful enterprises , the proper
entertainment of visitors from elsewhere -
where , the judicious advertising of the
city's advantages. In order to have the
social feature of the club's work move
along smoothly and successfully , it is
necessary to arrange some details which
are yet undecided upon , but which will
come up for consideration Monday
night. The business features are oven
moro important , as the club cunjo
made a great factor in the building "up
of the city. There needs bo nn arrange
ment of committees for this , a division
of labor , and to provide for this there
should bo a full attendance of members
at this special meeting. The club is on
a sound financial basis , has elegant
apartments , can easily entertain and
successfully work for the interests of
the city.

Vexatious DcluyH of Trnnslt.
There is considerable complaint about
the delays caused to the dummy trains
which leaves Omaha about 0 o'clock
each evening. The delays have been
so frequent and so vexatious as to bo
working serious damage to the interests
of this city. The trouble seems to be
caused largely by the length of time re
quired in the transfer of baggage ut
that particular hour. The local effect
is to discourage the attempt to live on
this side of the river and do business in
Omaha. There are many , and the num
bers have been increasing , who prefer
to live in Council Bluffs , even though
their business is in Orrmhu. They gen *
crully return to this city on the 6 o'clock
evening train. For a hungry man , tired
from a duy's toil , to have to wait n half
hour or more , will soon drlvo him into
the conviction that he hud bettor rcsldo
in the same city where his business may
be , or cho briirg his business to where
his residence is.
The other evening the dummy train
was delayed nearly nn hour. The delay
nearly caused an accident. The dummy
was waiting at the transfer , and the
ferry train WHS at the Broadway depot
nbout rendy to start out. By pomo
mix-up the trains both had orders to
start along. The conductor of the
dummy train recognized that there
must he something wrong , and by tele
graphing found that the ferry train hud
similar orders. Ho held the dummy
until the matter could be rectified , for
had the orders been carried out the
trains would have met between the
transfer and the Broadway deKL ] Such
a matter might have resulted in no
harm , but the chances are rather
against the attempt of two trains to
pass on the one track at the same
time.

Grnml Excursion and Auction Sale.
On Thursday , October 27 , 1887 , the
greatest excursion that has ever been
run out of any city in the west will go
from Council Bluffs and Omaha to Herndon -
don , la. , the site of the great natural
gas field of the west. Arrangements
are perfected to run u special train to
leave Council Bluffs in the morning and
on returning to leave Herndon after
dark , in order that all may have an op
portunity to see the natural gas in opera
tion to light the little city.
Herndon is the wonder to all that have
seen it. and there is no tolling what the
possibilities of the town may bo. One
month since it had less than fifty (50) ( ) in
habitants ; to-day its population num
bers ever five hundred (600) ( ) . One month
since there was not a brick in the town ;
to-day a number of brick blocks uro in
course of construction , nnd u number of
manufactories are already locnted thoro.
A line hotel is being built three (3) ( )
stories high , mansard style , nnd build
ings for residence purposes are innu
merable.
This is the opportunity of a life time
for the citizens of the twin cities of
Council Bluffs and Omaha to tuko a day
out nnd make a small investment that is
liable to bring thorn great returns. The
excursion will take an auctioneer with
them , and the owners of the town site
propose to sell lots at auction , for just
what they will bring on easy payments.
Thousands of dollars have already been
made on investments at Herndon , and
thousands morti will be made within the
next sixty { (50) ( ) ilnjs. Lot everybody rec

STARK MAD !
A Case that Baffles Med

"Yes , sir.lio is as mad as a March lmre"snid ono gen
tleman to another , as they wore standing on Broad
way yesterday afternoon.
The object of this remark had just passed up the
street , and ever on the alert for news , the reporter
followed him. He was a middle aged man , well dress
ed , and apparently a gentleman of the well to do
class. In his hand ho held a memorandum book , and
as he scanned the signs as he passed them he mutter
ed to himself , "Four Hundred and One ! Four Hun
dred and One ! Four Hundred and One. Yes , that's
the number wife said ; Four Hundred and OneBroad-
way. ' ' And as he came opposite to Harkncss Bro's
store , the look of anxiety passed from his face and he
broke into a laugh. As he passed through the door
he said to himself , "I may be stark mad crazy as a
