Tlio calendars being distributed by the Union Pacific do not meet with n very corelial reception among the Council HlufTs business houses. Unfortunately the calendars niuko public the fact thnt the Union Pacific runs between On'iilm , or Knnsas City , nnd we-st- crn cities , but omits the name of Council Bluffs , its starting point nnd terminus , not even putting it in small type. The Ululates do not relish being thus ignored. One irate merchant promptly tossed the ) offensive cal endar in the Htove the minute ho noticed the omission. The council committee hns considered the protests of those who object to the special nssessments for sewerage of Fifth avenue ) , nnd has reached the conclusion thnt it is too Into no\v to remedy the causes of complaint. The aldermen do not evidently believe in the Baying , ' 'it's never too late to mend. " The intimation is made that , the mode of assess ment Is not fully equitable or fair , but the nsscssmenHins been made and , funity or not , must stand. It is not unlikely that the courts will be linked to review this mutter.

There have been numerous inquiries as to whether the board of trade was dead or Hleeping , By n notice given in another column It nppcars thnt there is promise of un awakening or resurrection. It is proposed holding u meeting at the club rooms next Mondny night for the purpose of considering Home method of reorganizing the good work , which started long ngo , nnd was for n time carried forward with so much enthusiasm. It is suggested thnt there is no need of kccp- ing both organizations in active ) operation , nnd thnt the club can add easily the neces sary features for securing the results for which the board was organized. The social feature of the club is tin nssuroel success. There nro many members who would like to Bee n little more nttdntion paid by this organ ization to matters which are of practical moment to the city , the securing of various enterprises , the furthering of moves which will build up the city , nnd the encouraging of nil mcnhiircs helpful to the business interests of Council Bluffs.

I' . MacConncll proved fully as enjoyable ] anel elegant ns was anticipated. Expectations ran high in advance of tliu com- Ingsoclal event , but * was fully met In Its realization. The reception was given In the rooms of the Council muffs club , of which Mr. MacConncll Is the president , to the members of which organization , with other friends , the reception-was tendered. The In vitations numbered 350 , and so large a ma jority responded by n personal presence that the parlors and rooms were as well filled us comfort and convenience would permit. The guests were received in the largo par- lar , Mr. and Mrs. MacConncll being assisted by their friend , Miss Haskcill , of Atchison , Kan. , nn accomplished young lady who has been their guest during the holiday season. Mrs. MacConncll wat dressed in wlilto silk , en train , trimmed with lace nnd were pearls. Mlsnllaskcll were u yellow and white pro- cade silk , also en train. One of the hupplcst conceits running throughout all the details of the arrangements was the ! use of the two e'olors , yellow and white , which were promi nent In the costumes of the two ladies. The reception parlor was very attractively ar ranged and tastefully decorated , sinihix grac ing the chandeliers and cut ( lowers adorning the iimntcl. The orchestra , stationed in the oftlcc , ren dered soft. Hwcct music , and when the hour was passed in the friendly greetings , the rooms , which had been canvassed for dancing , weru thrown open. Other rooms were de voted to card tables and other modes of en tertainment for the guests who did not cheese to .dmico. The music was furnished by IJulby's orchestra , there being sixteen num bers , chosen with rare good tuste , and excel lently rendered. The numbers embraced se lections from the lighter and more popular operas , and some numbers which were of pe culiarly local interest , ono being the waltz written by Mrs. Skeltem , "Queen of the Glen , " and ono or two others of the compo sition of Prof. Dulby , of this city. As a pleas ing change , there were no snmll programmes furnished , but nt each end of the reiom nii- peared upon the walls the order of dances in letters of gold on white , the two eolors : which were prominent in other arrangements. The letter ? were of Mikado art , and the orders being bordered with smilax proved an at tractive as well us convenient form for im parting the desired information to the guests. In none of the features of the entertain ment did there appear moro good taste ami individuality , than in the ) rooms where the refreshments were served. There wcro two largo tables , and about nn hour after the dancing parlor had been thrown open , the doors of the dining room opened and guests made their ingress and egress nt leisure , aud enjoyed the hospitable suread most heartily. The tables In their arrangements and adorn ments brought emt the favorite colors ot the evening , lloth tables were exactly alike , so that the description of ono will sulllco for both. In the center was a largo sijunro of yellow plush. This was bordered with smilax. Upon the plush rested a fruit de sign , made of oranges and white grapes , an other combination of the two colors. On the diagonal corners were ! white carnations tied with yellow ribbons. On the other corners were Mikado napkins of yellow nnd white , arranged in rosettes. The souvenirs of the evening wcro very happily selected , they be ing policemen's clubs , very small , made ol white wood and tied with yellow ribbons. The club members especially appreciated this humorous touch upon the name of their organization. These little souvenirs were arranged at one end of each table so as to form , in Mikado letters , the initials of the president of the club , "S. P. M , , " while on the opposite end the little clubs wcro made to form the initials of the club , "C. H. C. " The guests were served with coffee , Frond flutes , olives , ices and cakes. The ices ant cakes were all of the prevailing colors , white and yellow. Lemonade was served through out tlie evening from a largo cake of ice , the purity of the color , with the golden of the lemons , being in harmony with the white and yellow. The arrangements thus happily made wcro carried put with charming case and resultce in making the occasion a most happy ono foi all participants.

The grand event in the police court ycster day morning was the case of Ida Washing ton and Jennie Armstrong , charged with dis turbing the pcaco. They both reside nt No TOO Hroadwuy , a place of rather shadowi reputation. Their testimony was so violently contradicting that the Judge orelered the chic of police to "pull" the house nnel bring li every inmate. The patrol wagon was sen down , and shortly afterward a load of th coloreel aristocracy was whirled up Broae : way at a lively rate. There wcro cloven it all , ranging In ago from two years to fifty Two of the party , William Green and Charlc Jones , were released , as it was shown tha they rented a room there and no charge wa preferred against them. Several witnesse were examined , and established the fact thn the cause of the outbreak was an ill feeling that had long existed between the ebony-hue Ida nnd her mother-in-law. Mrs. Washing ton. sr. , insisted that Ida was too old to llv with her son Jake , anel had on one occa slon brought a hatchet into piny , t help enforce her arguments to that etfecl and at another time a younger son , William had taken it UIKJII himself to administer thrashing. Mrs. Jake maintained that sh w.ts well able to attend to the needs of he husband , and that she was going to do it. Shu claimed that she was paying rent for both families , and that "dem odder folks is got to git out. Hero's dis yer ole white gal whats llbin' will dem niggers , and 1'so a 'si > ortln' 'em all.

" The other side then reopened with vile charges and threats , varying her tirade with criticisms on the eftlclcnry of the police force. The Judge listened patiently to both sides , and then lined Ida , Jennie , the old woman anel her son William * IM0 ! each. There was not a dollar in the whole hunch and they were released until this morning to gut the cash. The old woman vowed that she would return with all her children and go to Jail.

IIALDANK. , The Tcaolicru Sustained. The board of education has been making n thorough examination of the charges made against two of the lady teachers that they had inflicted an unjustifiable and cruel pun ishment upon the step son of Mr. Lynchard. There was considerable evidence hoaril on all sides. The upshot of the whole ) matter scorns to have been that the boy , for violation of the rules , was sharply spanked by one of the teachers , while the other , in accordance with the rules of the school , stood by as n'witness. The spanking was a severe one , and the marks of the pnddlo were visible for several days' . The claim was made that the boy \vas for several eluys In such a condition as to bo alarming. Other evidence was introduced , however , to show that the very evening after the whipping ho was out and about , engaged with his ulster In bringing m wood for the house. One neighbor said that the next day , or two days , after the whipping the boy was playing with other boys and turning somer saults , and not always striking on his feet. There was the inference thai sonic of the marks upon his person might hare been iviuscel by this ground and lofty tumbling. The boy Insisted that the statement of this witness should be corrected. He was n bet ter athlete than that. He struck on his feet every time. From this It appeared that ho must have been In better physical condition than was represented. The testimony of the doctors was to the ef fect that the boy had evidently been struck pretty sharply , but none claimed the wounds to bo dangerous or alarming. The board did not attempt to settle the question as to whether there should bo cor poral punishment in the schools or not. No attempt was made to determine the ejucstion whether u lighter punishment would not have been wiser or moro ID accord with the nature of the offense. The only question sought to be settled was whether the charge was true that the teachers had "cruelly and unjusti fiably" punished the boy. The bonrel unani mously decided in favor of the teachers , find ing that the charges were not sustained. The young ladles have suffered much by the notoriety given to the affair , moro proba bly than the boy suffered , and surely less de servedly. It would seem that with this llnel- Ing of the board , and the facts as they wcro developed , the father of the boy would not care to press the matter further. He seems to be on the warpath , however , and threatens to appeal to some other tribunal. The publio interest In the case will ello away , however , there being a feeling of confidence that the officials who have investigated the case fully are fully competent to Judge and are honest enough to give expression to their convic tions.

The readers of the LJui : will remember the appearance of an item some two weeks ago In which it was stated that a young lady , Emma Mott by name , had applied to Justice Schurz for a warant for the arrest of a. young man living in Monmouth , 111. The Justice told her he had no Jurisdiction in the case , and gave her certain points in procedure which would give her the protection she sought. Acting upon this advice she re turned to that state and stopped in n small town a short distance from the one in which her recreant lover and betrayer lives. Hero she caused his arrest. At this point Council HlufTs and vicinity figures. K E. Clippinger , an Omaha attor ney , was there on a visit , and as soon as ho returned home , a day or two ago , he visited Justice Sehurz to learn what he could of Miss Mott's statements to him. It is attempted to prove that to the 'Squire the young lady charged her disgrace upon another man. While in the city the unfortunate girl stopped at the American house , and to the wife of the proprietor confided the terrible secret and the naino of the man. It is said that a letter was written to him , the answer to which is hi the hands of this lady. In it the young man admits his guilt and says he is ready to protect the girl he has mined with ills name. In the face of this evidence it is difficult to sec how the defendant will clear himself on the plea of alibi. Guns of all kinds at Odcll & Bryant's , 601 S. Main St. A fineresidonco lor sale T. 13. Bald win , Tlio Silent School. The attendance at the institution for the eleaf and dumb is increasing steadily , but still it is not so large as it has been in prev ious.years. One of the causes assigned is the fact that under the new law the pupils are not given the reduced rates for railway fare , and as many of the parents are poor they shrink from the expense of sending their chilurcn here to school. At the present rate of increase , however , the attendance will soon reach the full numbers. The annual report of the institution is not out yet. It Is being printed in the office of the institution , and for some reason the work Is not progress ing ns rapidly as it ought. The annual re ports of the other state institutions are nil distributed. There has been n demand that teachers in the institution should bo exam ined tne same as teachers in ttie public schools. There is no state law making any such requirement , but the legislature will probably bo askcel this winter to pass a law , which will provide for the cxamatlon of all teachers in state in stitutions. If examinations are necessary to secure qualified teachers in the piiblio schools , it seems especially necessary for the success of such state institutions. | They should have the very best teachers. Hecog- nizing this fact the board of trustees has or elered that the teachers pass examinations , hereafter , and as one such examination is apnroaching , there is a general brushing up. Quiz clubs have been formed , the old text books are being rcthumbed , and the teachers are refreshing their memories in anticipation of the dread event. Senator Gronowcg and Representatives Wymun and Bergman recently visited the in stitution , with a view of acquainting them selves with its needs , in order to legislate wisely for Its interests.

They All Want AVIilto CheikcrH. It is surprising to see how many ministers there are in the city now that it is time for the railroad companies to issue their annual clergymen's permits. The contract stipu lates that the holder must bo n regularly or dained minister , iiiiu also bo in charge of a congregation , yet twenty-five applications have already been made to the ticket agouti of tills city for such permits. J. C. Mitchell , of the Wabash , waxes quite "hot'1 over the effrontery of some of the applicants. Said ho yesterday to n Uii : : reporter : "They seem to think that because they sometimes talk a lit tle in a prayer meeting they are entitled to n clergyman's permit , and they como hero in droves. Last year a man and his wife offered mo $3 if I would get them a pass , and there are plenty moro of them. The gamblers of the city are as much entitled to n minister's permit us some of these parties. Their gall assumes such magnificent proportions as to completely take away my breathoVou bet they don't all feel funny when they go away. " Captain Drown , of the Chicago , Hurlmgton ft Oulncy , told the same story , although ho said that moro were entitled to a permit than ono would at first suppose , ns there are several in the country whose address is at this city. Ho lias already sent in applications for seventeen. The other agents are also sifting the applications , and there Is a strong probability that there will bo several disappointed - pointed ones.

The great Indian warrior chiefs. Sit ting Bull , Heel Cloud , Spotted Kngle , Hump , and Charger , have been busy the past summer with their followcis di - cushing ( ho Dnwes reservation hill , says a letter from Pierre to the Indianapolis Journal. This is a strong combination , as it takes in the leading men of the great Sioux nation , and what they pro claim is law. Silling Bull is renowned as the wonderful medicine mini who made the mixture of herbs mid roots , amidst the soundsof tomtoms from squaws , that cau > ed the defeat ef the gallant Custer and hi * neiblo and brave 7th cavalry. The eild chief is worshiped by the Sioux Indians , ns was shown ein his recent visit to Cheyenne agency , where ho was presented with fifty handsome , ponies , and escorted to his homo on Standing Rock agency by one hundred lodges. The advice of Bull is weighed and ho is an extraordinarily intelligent Indian and realizes that his naino is khown throughout thu civilized world. Four years ago the old chief parsed through Pierre on his way through Standing Rock from Fort Randal , whore he was held as prisoner of war. His arrival drew hundreds of people to the steamboat landing , and thu old chief diel a rush of business sell ing his autographs at 60 cents apiece. On this occasion ho had cause to become enraged over the duplicity practiced by Colonel Dell Coy. lie handed Sitting Bull a half , and requested that he sign liis name on a leaf from a bee > k which lie extended. He did feo. and the colonel retired with twelve autographs which ho presented to his friends at U5 cents apiece. His hook was manifold. Bull realized that ho had been duped , and had ho been favored with nn opportunity ho no doubt would have made bad medi cine for the colonel. Hump was one of Sitting Bull's lead ing warriors. He is no\y chief of the Indian police , and lives sixty miles from here. He has done away with the tepco , erected a lo house , and albO induced some lifty of his people to do likewise. Ho has also discarded his long hair , the blanket and breech-cloth , and donned the attire of a full-lleelgcd American. Ho takes a grunt pride in being compli mented on his natty appearance , and if all the Indians possessed the ability of Hump the Indian question would soon ho settled advantageously to the race. Hump has made two trips to Washington , and this , no doubt , had a wonderful in fluence on him. Charger has boon a friend of the whites for forty years. During the New Ulm massacre it was Chief Charger who warned the pioneers of the threatened uprising ami joined the whites against the reels. His gallant work was re warded by the government presenting him with' several hand&ome medals a very small recognition for his herenc work. Spotted Eagle is the idol of Sit ting Bull. Eagle was with him during all his trials and troubles in British America , and the friendship existing between the two is something unusual for Indians. Red Cloud is accused of being the most troublesome and nhles Indian on the reservation. Ho is keen , shrewd , nnd considered a big bravo. Ho is now sixty-eight years old , dresses like a white man , with short hair. He is of the eld school. This is the delegation , accompanied by Interpreters Low Jowott and Lew DoWitt , that expect to visit Waghing- ton next month and have a talk with the great white father regarding the Dawcs hill opening up a portion of the Sioux reservation. Over $6,000 has been raised among the Indians to defray the expense , and their wild west show on a small scale will create no little at tention at the nation's capital. Chief Charger Hump and Spotted Eagle mot at Cheyenne agency a few days ago for the purpose of making all nccchwiry preparations. It has virtually been decided to . .metot at Fort Bennett anel go via Pierre * Sitting Bull.through his representative- , Spotted Englo , sent word that ho haellicon promised assist ance from ono of , tie ) Indian rights asso ciations , and ho expected transportation for the delegation. Ho had aUo been inylted to visit 1'hlludelphin , hut ho should proceed to Washington at once and if the leave of absence coulel be re newed , ho would prolong his visit by accepting several invitations of Indian philanthropists. "Have you any special measures to urge ? " uskcdjgyour correspondent of Charger , through Interpreter DoWitt. "Yes , wo have many. When the treaty for the Black Hills was made our people ple wore blinded. They thought the white man wanted only the hills. When the treaty was signed wo taw that wo had given away ton times moro land than wo intended to. Wo did not un derstand what meridians meant , WeJ are going to ask the white farmer ex actly where the Indian reservation commences and ends. Wo don't under stand meridians. We go by rivers , . creeks and mountains , and don't want any 'moro bml.feelitiirs when all is over. "I" that the'only'objuctuf making this long trlpV ' "No. , we .shall try and sell our land for money. We don't want horses , wagons and cattle. Give us the money and let us do like the white man. buy what wo need. We are willing to let the land go , but don't think it is right to tell us what we sbiill take for it.
