For several days pait Christ Jncobson , em ployed by A. J. Mandel , has been danger ously 111 , but ho Is now recovering slowly. The contracts for the county prlntlnp , Btatlondry , bulldlnc bridges mid furnishing general supplies will be let by thuboiudof supervisors to-duy. Ida Washington's place was raided by the police about U o'clock last evening and two of the Inmates , Including Ida herself , were ar rested and locked up. The great social event this week Is the re ception of President and Mrs. MaeConnell at the club rooms this evening. The affair promises to bo both elegant and enjoyable. The Apollo clulvconcort at the opera house to-morrow evening will be a musical treat Indeed. If sufllcient appreciation is shown by the patronage , other choice concerts will follow during the season. A citizen suggests that the street railway company should enlarge Its barns to as to ac commodate Its street scraper. This was left on I'earl street last night to the jjreat annoyance of travelers. Arthur Smith , son Of Peter Smith , who re sides at fi'J. ! Main street , was the holder of the lucky ticket which drew the organ at the Mueller Music company's prize distribution. The Instrument was delivered to him yester day. day.Tho The proprietors of the hardware stores of the city have agreed to close their places of business during the winter months at 0 o'clock In the evening. The claim is made , and It Is a good one , that the trade after that hour docs not pay the expense incident to keeping open. William Lewis has a largo sleigh fitted up finely for taking out parties of fiom fifteen to twenty persons. Those desiring accommoda tions of this sort can llnd no better , and should leave their orders at Lewis' oflice , nt Moore & Kiplinger'H , 419 Uroadway , or call him up by telephone. The estate of the late Stephen Dunn was found to bo In unusual condition , there being but ono claim against It , and that for a little over $1. This was paid at once , leaving the estate clear , a pretty good iiuantity. Mr. Dunn was very prompt and careful In his business matters and never allowed bills to bo hovering about. P. C. Miller has added one to the line of elegant delivery wagons which are now seen daily upon the streets. The Improvement is this class of vehicles has been very marked hero during the past two years , and Council UliiUs shows up well in this respect , making quite a metropolitan appearance. The new one of Mr. Miller's is ono of the best. Some changes have been made in the fire department in order to equip the new truck. There arc now twelve full paid men , besides the "call" men. Council Bluffs , can go on record as having the best lire protectionwith the least number of men. of any city of any city of similar size In the country. As soon as the weather is favorable the aerial ladder force will have n few practice drills in handling their apparatus. In connection with St. Paul's church an organization for the young girls has been formed , to bo known as the St. Agnes guild. The object is to Instruct the members in the confirmation exercises of the church , the requirements of church members , and for the purpose of doing general church work. Mrs. Joselyn Is chosen as warden of the guild , with Miss Franklo D.iily secretary , and Miss Nellie. Ilaldano treasurer. There has been some wondering why the weather signal flags remained unchanged for about a week. Ono of the boys in the oflieo was asked if they didn't get any more re ports : "Oh , yes ; wo got the reports all right , but it's been too nwfully cold to raise the windows and hang the flags out. It chilled the rooms too much. " Now that it has moderated somewhat the flags nro changed occasionally. Ex-Coroner Faul has been hunting up the relatives of the unfortunate Kelle.v , who was recently killed by n falling bluff. Ho received word from Stuart la. , that Kelley had for merly worked there and that he hud relatives living in Peoria. Mr. Faul wrote there and has received a letter from un uncle of Kelley , who says that if identification Is made com plete ho will see to it that the body is taken up and carried to Pcoria for final Interment. There Is more soft coal being burned In Council Hluffs than In any previous season. Many who have heretofore used hard coal to some extent have abandoned It entirely. The price of coal , ll.50aton , makes economy necessary. It is difficult to see , however , how it is any economy for the county to use soft coal In heating the new court house , for the building is having its exterior smoked up in a manner which causes mote damage than the extra price of hard coal. Mayor Itohrer. Is the fourth mayor sworn In during the present term. Colonel Chap man was elected for two years , but had served but a short time when death took him hence. Then J. F. Evans was chosen to till the vacancy until the people could elect u mayor , at which election Mayor Groneweg was chosen. Now ho has resigned and M. F. Hobrer is called upon to fill the vacancy. Ho will probably hold until the spring elec tion , ami there Is a strong probability of the voters then insisting on his continuing. Sometime during the month of Juno , 18S7 , n young girl left her homo In a town Just cast of the city and come to Council Bluffs to seek employment. Her parents were fairly well to-do and eminently respectable , and pro tested against this move , but consented at last , supposing that a few weeks experience of this kind would satisfy the child ( for she was but sixteen years of age ) , and that she would return homo. Arriving hero she ap plied for work at ono of the hotels of the city , After working until October she told her em ployer she was going to learn the barber trade in ono of the shops of the city. She left the hotel and little was known of her movements until her parents appeared hero yesterday and took their daughter homo with them , The affair has created some street gossip , but In the Interest of all parties concerned - corned as little publicity as possible should bo given the mutter.

Little 1ms been heard of late nbout tlio union depot project. It is understood thut most of thu land required has been secured , nnd It remains for the roads ccntei Ing hereto to co-operate In the enterprise , nnd push it to completion. This seems n very opportune time for such n move. Tiieio Is not u local depot In this city worthy of n Rood country station , unless It be the Mllwaukc & St. Paul , nnd even that Is not In keeping With the size and Importance of Council Dluffs. It is n neat little depot , mid would answer well for sonic country town , or for some su burban station. Most of the depots nre old shells , n disgrace to the companies which oc cupy them , nnd u shame to the cities In which they arc located. Lack of local de pots has been patiently borne , because of the belief that ere long n grand union depot , centrally located , would bo built. It la un derstood that all the companies with two ex ceptions , are heartily In favor of building an tip-town union depot , nnd the delay Is said to be owing to the backwardness of UICHC two companion , who do not openly oppose It , but nro not enthusiastic enough to hurry. The cltirens who belong to the union depot com pany should get their prodlng stick in hand and stir u little life Into those who arc hang ing back on the project. The Public ; Library. Tlio annual report of the trustees of the public library shows an Increase In the num ber of books during the past year of 1,078 , the total number now being 7,1(51. ( The total ex penditures have been140. , . The number of registered book takers is 2,100 , an increase of J'.Ci during the past year. The number of books taken out was 'J7W.l. ( Of these the classification shows fiction to bo still In the lead , with 115,031 volumes ; poetry , ! I,77J ; history and geography , 3,01travels ! , 1,700 ; natural science , l,0ir ! > ; theology , 4IW ; philoso phy , U7ii. In closing their report the trustees say : In addition to the foregoing statement It gives us great pleasure to note the continued prosperity of the Council Hluffs free public library. leasing our judgment upon tbu steady Inciease in the number of books on our shelves and the number of people who resort to its rooms , and improve the advantages it offers , we are satisfied that our free public library s a useful and potent factor for the cdtica- ion of the jouth of our city , as well ns of the ntellcctual pleasure and improvement to all lasses of our citi/ens. Although the amount af money received from the city treasury h.is icen very limited , falling even below that of he two preceding yeais , we have by careful economy been able to mid more than 1,000 refill volumes to our list of registered books. " eluding public documents , we now have 'ully ' 10,000 volumes of the best nnd most i&eful literature on our shelves. The rooms now occupied for library pur- loscs are steadily becoming too small and ramped for the accommodation of its many Kitrons and its steadily increasing propor- lons. lons.We cannot refrain from expressing the lope thut ome way will be found by which nir city will in the near future provide quar- ers more adequate for the use and nccoinmo- lation of this most bcncilccnt institution and ts natrons.

A horse belonging to the street car com- > any was disabled yesterday afternoon at the sixth siding in front of the Western house on upper Uroadway. Car No. 4 going cast was considerably behind time , and the driver was eying to make it up. No. 2 , westbound , was waiting on the biding and as the other approached preached the horse attached to it , doubtless excited by its hard run. swerved to the left und struck head first against the waiting car. The momentum of the moving car was so 'rcat that when it struck the horse it com pletely doubled him up and threw both cars from the track. As a spectator expressed it , 'The horse was shut up like a jackknlfe. " Dr. duly was called to attend the animal and see if its back was broken , as scented proba ble. It was removed on a stone boat to the company's stables and may recover. The speed with which the car was driven just be fore the accident was so great as to attract iittention. The horse was running furiously , und many supposed that the driver was una ble to control him. Fortunately no passen gers were injured. It looks as though a little interference by the police would prevent a repetition of such an offense. For best quality coal and wood , call on Gleabon , lG ! Pearl btrcct. Young Democracy.

The doctor departed from his bedside early in the evening , after leaving a dose of medicine , and informing the family that the patient could hardly survive until morning. After the phy- sicician's departure , the old man woke tip from his nap , and requested his at tendants to bring him up a dish of corned beef and cabbage , also a mug of hard cider.
