Several horses were left standing in
the street without blankets yesterday

Private citizens are warned that if
they do not clean the snow oil tlio side
walks they will be lined. How about
the public buildings , now court house ,

These sidewalks , especially about the

tluit some of the city prisoners be given
a little exercise in this direction. Thyy
might do something toward earning
their board.

One or the Strays.
The horse belonging to II. C. Irey ,
of Omaha , which wtft lost in u runaway
Thurndny afternoon during the sleigh
ing carnival , was found yesterday morn
ing by Captain O'Brien , of the police
force , in a clump of willows about two
miles west of the city. The animal had
evidently been there for borne time , as
thu lines had become entangled in the
bushes , and ho was held fast. Ho was
so chilled as to bo scarcely able to
move , and the olllcpr had hard work to
get him to the city , where ho was placed
m Bray's stable. The owner _ was noti-
lied and came across after him , but ho
was unable to bo moved. The animal is
a very speedy pacer and quite valuable.
There is no question but what ho would
have frozen to death had ho not been
found. Mr. Irey was much pleased to1
regain possession of his property , as he
had about given him up.

Court House Dedication.
The members of the Council BlufTs
bar held a meeting yesterday afternoon
at the olllce of Sapp & Pusey to make ar
rangements for a proper dedication of
the new court house , which is nearly
completed. A committee of nine was
appointed to confer with the board of
county commissioners , and perfect all
arrangements. The members have
taken the mi tier earnestly into consid
eration , and there is no doubt but what
the ceremonies will bo very imposing ,
and well worthy of the beautiful struc
ture and the city in which it is located.
The date of completion is not known at
present , but it will probably bo about
the last of next month , at which time
all plans for the dedication will bo in
readiness. D. C. Bloomer is chairman
of the committee and has the matter in
charge. The bar of the city takes just
pride in the now building , and could
not , allow the occasion of its completion
to pass without fitting notice.

The outrageously high price chargct
for hard coal , $11.50 a ton , luis cuu > ei
many to abandon its use and burn sof
coal instead. While not so pleasant t <
use , still many cannot afford to pay fo
the higher priced , and others proforrei
to wit un with the inconvenience o
binoko anil boot , rather than indulge ii
what bcomiid to Ilium rntherof a luxury
Now comes a threatened shortage o
boft coal. Three dealers wore applic
to yesterday and not ono of them had
nn.\ soft coal. All the. dealers Hcem
well supplied with hard coal , but on all
Bides are predicted tin increased
s 'arclty of soft. There s MMUS to bo no
special reason assigned why there
should be such a largo supply of hard
coil and so little soft coal. One dealer
remarks that out of the forty mines in
Iowa only seventeen are being operated ,
but there Is no reason given why the
others are not operated. Whatever
may bo the cause of the scarcity , the
effect will naturally bo to force con
sumers to buy hard coal instead of soft.
Tlio outlook for those who are trying to
economize on fuel is not very pleasing.
the Churches.
To a person seeking for a homo or a
place to make permanent investments
nothing is moro important in recom
mending a city as its morals. Its edu
cational advantages are examined ; its
churches are numbered and a full inven
tory made of all factors important to the
constitution of society , and as a city is
abundant or lacking in these essentials ,
to will it bo accepted or rejected by
those who desire a homo and business
where law and order are maintained
and the investment a capital scheme.
The moral status of the youth is a safe
critorian of judgment as tothe future.
To ascertain this the Sunday schools fur
nish many important facts , and believ
ing that the entire community are in
terested in this matter the BKE here
with introduces a scries of articles upon
the Sunday schools of Council Bluffs.
The Broadway Methodist is the lirst
noticed , it being the first on the list to
organize its youth in this work. The or
ganisation of the Sunday school is coexistent
istent witli the church. From the first the
growth has been steady , not only in
numbers , but in stability and other
characteristics which make it a power
for good in the community. Its growth
has kept full pace with the in crease in
the population of the city. To its
friendly and Christian ministrations
many a boy. now grown to man's estate ,
owes his success , and his early associa
tions here arc among his most cherished
memories.
The ollicors elected to servo during
the ensuing year are as follows : L. W.
Tulleys , superintendent ; Henry Coker ,
a&bistant superintendent ; Miss ELsie
Brcnnaman , secretary ; Miss Fields ,
librarian ; Miss May Dale , organist ; .1.

bible class , Mr. C. Allen ; infant class ,
Mrs. Dr. Snydor. ( This class numbers
from sixty to one hundred little ones. )
The other classes are presided over bv
Mrs. W. H. W. Reese , Mrs. L.W. Tull-
oys , Mrs. Oreutl , Mrs. Arthus , Miss
Jennie Friedenburg , Mrs. J. N. Brown ,
Miss Sims , Messrs. .T. N. Brown , C.
Driver , L. Knotts , C. Brown. W. Paul-
son.Gilbertand E. L. Welch. The Berean
series of lessons are generally used
throughout the school. The collections
are made by classes , each class being
credited with its own contribution. The
average collection per Sunday during
the year is about $ -1. " > ( ) . This is ex
pended for the benefit of the school in
purchnsing supplies and other ways , as
that body may determine. The 'aver-
ago attendance is about two hundred
and twenty-live. The literature of the
school is furnished in the library , which
numbers between ono hundred and lifty
and two hundred volumes , to which is
added largo lists of the Northwestern
and Now York Christian advocates.
The doors of the school are open to all ,
and a standing invitation is extended to
old and young to como and learn the

able complaint about the mail service
between this city and Omaha , as being
insutlicicnt. Dummy trains run hourly
throughout the day and evening , yet
four mails are all that arrive. Double
that number could bo carried as well as

LOVE AND LUCRE.
They had been playmates together
and child lovers despite the diilerencc
in their positions. Bessie Lee was only
a gardener's daughter , while Ashton
Winthrop would some day bo the owner
of the estate where her father earned
his bread. There was good blood in the
Lees , though they were poor , and
neither of the parents were inclined to
put a veto on the children's fricndbhip.
As Bessie grow older she noticed that
Ashton was less attentive to her , or she
imagined bo. Ho was engrossed witli
his young friends and his sports , and
she saw less and less of him. Her heart
grow bad over the breach that was
widening between them , yet when they
met he had always a kind word for her
that cheered her heart.
Ashton , to finish his education , was
compelled to spend two years at a Ger
man university , and Bessie thought that
she had lost him forever. Often in hoi-
lonely room she sobbed herself to sleep
thinking of the lover she had lost ,
though keenly aware of the difference
in their stations.
When Ashton finally completed his
education nnd returned homo her grief
was changed to joy. for ho was again
the attentive lover of her childish
dreams and her happiness knew no
bounds.
The next spring brought a long-ex
pected visitor to the Willows Laura
Wilson , the daughter of Mrs. Win-
throp's only sister. Bessie had often
heard the young lady spoken of as very
beautiful in person , lovely in character ,
intelligent and accomplished. Upon
an introduction to her she found her
moro interesting even than she had ex
pected. Bright , sweet and winning ,
Laura found her way to every heart.
She was a great favorite with Mr. and
Mrs. Winthrop ; and , alas ! poor Bessie
felt , a great favorite with Ashton. Of
cour.se , rumor soon gave rise to a report
of a union between the heir of the Wil
lows and his fair cousin. Many were
the fetes , drives , oxcur ions and boat
ing parties at Winthrop hall in honor
of the lair stranger.
That summer was a most beautiful one.
Never had the hall been so gay ; novel-
had poor Bessie felt so sad and lonely.
She could only in her solitude try and
obtain victoryover bolf in it * > most subtle
guise. And she succeeded.
Strength boomed given to her. Mind
nobly conquered passion. Mrs. Win
throp frequently called , for she could
never forgot Bessio. Laura wai almost
a daily visitor , and scorned to regard the
bwcet girl with something of a sister's
fondness. Ashton would conic , too , but
liis visits gave her pain. ' His face had u
troubled look.
Rumor became stronger and strongei
with regard to the approaching wed
ding at the hall , until it was announced
to take place in September. It wiib to be
a most bplendid affair.
The afternoon before the wedding
Ashton came to the cottage. Thoj
strolled through the garden into the
11 arbor , sacred to Ressio'b mother.
"You will have a beautiful bride , '
said Bessie , with averted face.
"I shall , indeed. Lovely in person
mind and character. " Then , walking
up to the rose tree , ho cut oil a bunch o
beautiful white roses and buds. Placing
it in Dcssio's hand , he said : "Wear this
Bessie. "
to-morrow ,
' ? "
'Why to-morrow
"You must stand at Laura's side whoi
the vows are spoken. "
a "Ashton , " exclaimed Bessie , "yoi
k must yoim > elf ECO how incongruous thn
d must bo for several reasons. Laura wil
e wear her liu-cs , satins and diamonds
o And , besides , Lauvu is bo
beautiful no'one Is fit fa stand , by her
side. "
"None but Bessio. . Besides , father ,
mother , Laura , all 'deslro this. You
cannot , you must ilot icfusol"
Thus nre > scd. poor Uessio consented ,
though slio felt it a bitter added drop to
the cup of which she had been drinking.
The next morning , the wedding mornIng -
Ing was perfect. At S o'clock Ashton
called for her. She was dro-cd in her
best dress , n plain white cambric , and
wore the roses in her bosom.
"What need have you of jewels ,
love ? You are a jewel youi > olff" said
Ashton. as ho gaed upon the pure
spirltuello beauty of the girl.
Poor Bessie was too embarrassed to
re nly.
As They reached the hall the prcpar-
tions wore dazzling. Hesslo was con
ducted to Laura's room by a maid. She
found her dressed in a rich white silk ,
with no ornaments but a locket sot In
diamonds round her neck. She was
folded in a warm embrace by the affec
tionate Be.sslo. Opening a jewel box ,
Laura took out an olegngt cross of hair ,
richly set with pearls , saying , as she
kissed Bc sic's blushing cheek , "It is
AshtonV hair. I had it made expressly
for vou. "
"You should have given mo yours ,
ot his , " said poor Bessio.
"Ah , I know that could not he so
recious to you ! " replied Laura. Then ,
bservlng He.ssio's confusion , she said :
'Let us go Into the ante-room. Our
overs wait us there. "
Puzzled moro than ever by Laura's
vords , Bessie accompanied her into an
lite-chamber , whcro Ashton was sitting
i-ith another gentleman.
Like ono in a dream. Bessie saw the
.trangor . draw Laura's arm through his ,
vhilo her own was taken by Ashton.
'
"My dear Bensio , " said h'e. "allow mo
o introduce to you Mr. Howard , the
gentleman who is to lead our fair cousin
o the altar this morning. "
Trembling and bewildered. Bessie
lurmured a reply Mr. Howard and
' . .aura walked out on the balcony then
urning to Ashton , she said , "Do toll mo
low this isV What does it all mean 'i "
"Laura was engaged to Mr. Howard
eng before she came hero. The report
if her union with me had no foundation
ivhatovor. And how could you believe
had a heart for any ono but you , dear-
; st ? "
Here Mrs. Winthrop entered.
Taking Bessie's hand in hers , and
drawing her to her bosom , she said to
Ashton , "Shall I give her to you ? "
"Do , dear mother , if you love mo ! "
"Now , " she continued to Bessie , "you
ivill malce us all happy by giving this
ilenr little hand away to-dny. "
Bessie murmured soniethingnbonttho
great difference in position , and then
burst into tears.
"That is nothing , " replied Mrs. Win-
hrop. "Tho beauty and grace of your
.lei-son , the loveliness of your character
imd the cultivation of your mind render
fott equal to any station , and make us
ill proud and happy to receive you as a
[ laughter in The Willows. "
Bessie raised her head. Mr. Win
hrop and her father were wipincr tears
rom their eyes.
'xYiold to their entreaties , dear
child , " said her father.
"Yes , yield , " said Mr. Winthrop.
Do not let false ideas of rank and sta
tion separate love so deep and pure as
yours and Ash ton's * . "
'I " she then said in
am yours , , a
trembling voice , to Ashlon.
There were two weddings that day at
, ho Willows. Ono couple departed im-
nediatcly for the continent ; but Ashen -
: on and Bessie took their seats in the
mleony , and there told over and over
tgain the story of their lovo.
CotiMtiiiptiou of Sugnr.
Jackson ( Mich. ) Patriot : Wo have
before us a statement that , with respect
to the consumption of sugar , British
India must be considered the largest
consumer in the world , it being used
there in very large quantities. Great
Britain conies next , with a consumption
placed at seventy-one pounds per capita
of its total population. In other lead
ing nationalities the average consump
tion per inhabitant is indicated as fol
lows : United States , 60 noiinds * ; Franco ,
128 ; Holland , 20 ; Denmark , 19 ; Germany ,
17 ; Russia , 14 ; Belgium , 10.
Tlio most striking feature in these
figures is the small consumption in Ger
many , which , next to British India , is
th < 3 largest bugar-proclucing country in
the world. To encourage production
the government pays a bounty on all
sugar exported ; and 1o meet this im
poses a tax on that consumed in Ger
many. The tax is ) H'r a ton. No doubt
'
this'has much to do with reducing the
consumption , as it is an invariable rule
that the higher the price of commodi
ties the smaller is the consumption a
practical lesson that leglblators to the
United States have not yet loarncd.
The sum raised by the tax in Ger
many is nearly all paid back to the pro-
ilucors on the sugar exported , which cn-
nblcs the people of Great Britain , who
lire not compelled to pay a tariff tax , to
buy bugar cheaper than any other con
sumers in Europe or America , and
hence their consumption is the largest
per capita. It is estimated that Uritibh
consumers are bonoiitted by the German
bounties and taxes to the extent of &J" > , -
000,000 a year on the total quantity con
sumed.
In 1801 the consumption of sugar in
Greal Britain averaged nineteen pounds
for each person , cost lit shillings and ! )
ponce , while in 1881 the bixtV-sevon
pounds consumed cost 0 shillingwand 9
pence. The consumption increased
three-fold , but the total cost decreased
about one-third. In thiscountry thocost
to consumers is nearly doulo the price
paid in England , and if the sugar re-
liners' trust ib carried into effect , as in
tended , the difference will be still
greater.
