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

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.

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.

About tlic Union Depot.
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.

Street Car Accident.
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.

schwaugon , another of his castles , was
really the creation of Maximillian , his

teresting , artistically. Tempera decora

Luther , Pepin , Henry the Lion

tance from this is the sequestered ca&tlo
of Linderhof , what a correspondent
calls "a pocket Versailles lost in upper
Bavaria. " This cattle ina reminiscence
of the pomp of Louis XIV. , a collection

fall dashes into this from above the

Corned Heel'OH Medicine.
Boston Budget : A well-preborvcd old
citizen is Mr. Scth Bryant , now eighty-
seven years of ago , who is quite as ac
tive as most men of sixty. His remin
iscences of old businessmen are very en
tertaining. Fen 'many years ho was of
the firm of Mitchell & Bryant in the
Bhoo and leather business. IIo tells the
story of an old Middloborough man who
died at the ago of one hundred and seven
years , who at tho-ago of ono hundred
and upward was > vibitcd by the family
physician for borne tritlling ailment and
pronounced to bo 'in a dying condition.
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. This substantial meal
being stowed away , the old man enjoyed
a good night's rest. Next morning the
doctor called and inquired * "Is the old
man yet alivcV" "He is. " was the
reply , "go up and take a look at him. "
The disciple of JEbculapius was very
much surprised to see the old man sit
ting up in his chair and quite jolly.
"Ah ! " bald he , "my medicine worked
wonders for you didn't it ? " "I guess
not , " replied the centenarian , "I didn't
take a bh o ! it. "
