John Ahles , who is not happy unless etlrring up some commotion , attracted n largo crowd yesterday at the corner ol Main and Broadway. After addressing them in a loud voice long enough to gather a desired number of citi/ons , he asked them all to go with him and sec the alloy just north of Broadway. He lead the way and many followed. He pointed out the disgraceful condition o ! the nlloy , which Is supposed to be paved , but which , like other paved portions ol the city , receives little cleaning and much dirt. Although this alloy runs right by the city building , it is in sucli a filthy condition as to bo impassible , AhloH scored the city ollicials in lib usual enthusiastic anu rather reddest manner and then Boomed to bo satisfied vlth his peculiar agitation of the ques tion of street cleaning.

A Novel Coniplnlnt of n Dirty Alley A Much Tried Home Case To lie a South- crn llrcwcr. The Gntnxy of Htnro. The disturbances in the police force nro more annoying than fccrioim. Such Hi-ems to bo the feeling of the other otllcinls and of many citi/cns. It is nbuolutoly necessary to the best elllci- oncy of the force that peace and harmony prevail in the ranks of the men of the tar. There has never been entire harmony , within the recollection of the oldest , and hence the efllclcney has never reaeheU its highest point. It seems that the present outbreak is not more berious than tome previous ones , and yet it beems serious enough to demand more attention than has been Heretofore given such a state of nlTairs. Mayor Hohrer has only been in olllce for a few days. Ho has hardly had the iieccfcsairy time to inform himself on the nirious departments. In addition to this einbnrnibsmont he is chosen simply to fill the unexpired term of Mayor Gronewegand while many believe that in the spring ho will bo elected for a full term of two years , yet that is more or less of an uncertainty. He has , K > far as can be learned , never intimated that ho would bo willing to servo longer if elected. It is a trying place for him. Ho has hardly got used to being called "mayor" when this complication in police affairs is called to his attention , and ho will hardly have made the necessary changes before he may step out and some new man take up the reins. It seems not unlikely , therefore , that ho will allow matters to go on as they are , unless there should bo some now phase put on the situation. The poKco force lias been in just about this condi tion for months , and can probably hold together and do fair service for a few months longer. With the incoming of a new mayor , or with the firmly beating of Mayor Hohrer for two years , changes will doubtless bo made which will do away with much of the present jeal ousy and back-biting. It is understood that the police com mittee will lake no action at present. With this policy to bo followed out , it is predicted that the police force will continue telling the truth about their chief and about each other. The facts thus being reached by hearing both sides of the controversy may serve a good purpose in the reorganization of the police force. There arc some who are certain that if Mayor Hohrer wauls to bo elected for a full term one of the strongest cards ho can play is to reorgani/e the police force tit once , wooding out the incompetent and discordant elements. Unfortun ately there is so much politics in the police department as to render the proloin a perplexing one for any mayor who has party ambition. Chiei Mullen is solidly backed by Marshal Guanella , and Gunnollu is a strong leader ot the democracy , and is shaping his plans for a renomination. If Mayor Rohrer takes action against Mullen , and Guanella should get a controlling majority in the convention , there might be a lettingout ol Mayor Hohrer. On the other hand Captain O'Brien is a strong candidate for the nomination by the democrats for city marshal. Ho is leading the light on Chief Mullen. If ho should bo removed as adisturbing cl ement , he and his friends will make war , and especially if they should ob tain a majority in'tho convention would exorcise their power against MayorRoh- rer. It seems that about the only way out of political dilllculty is to lot the quarrel alone until after the convention , or to let both the ollicers stop outside the police ring , and there light it out. Much confidence is felt in Mayor Roh- ror , by citizens of both parties. There is much expectancy that ho will ignore political and party interests , and t-o ad just the matter as to result in the best good to the city. If he meets this ex pectation Council Bluffs will surely nave adiffcrent and better police organ ization. * On the market for over twenty years.

This tract is ii75 feet by 32-3 foot and has ample room for the buildings , tracks , etc. , which are incidental to the conducting of thiB business. Foreign and local capital are combined in this enterprise and one of the largest lumber yards in the west ern country will bo located hero. The work of cutting down the trees and clearing up the tract is fairly under way. When this is done the grounds will be filled to grade ; side tracks from the main railroad lines will be laid ; sheds and an office will be erected. The otlicc will bo built upon the northeast corner of the tract only two squares di rect Jrom Broadway. This work is ex pected to be done within the next twc months and by April 1 the busines-f will probably bo in full blast. There is no question but what other enterprises will invest in this locality and erect such buildings as their busi ness demand. Here is an admirable lo cation for warehouses , elevators , etc. With plenty of yard room and trackage which can bo had at a nominal expense , there is every reason for expecting an early building up of this portion of the city. The right of way for tracks along both sides of the creek is secured , The grading and ballasting of the tracks upon the banks of the creoh would gfvo the city protection against possible overllows , which is no small matter. This whole business is simplv ' developing one of the many mngniticcn't opportunities with which the city abounds , The Bur. confldontlv expoclt- to record a repetition of this manj times during the year 18S8.

The case of State vs. Witmor foi horse stealintr was called in the districi court yesterday morning. Colonel Djiiloj and W. II. Ware conducted the prose cution , and II. B. Williams of Glen wood , and R. S. Williams of this city appeared for the defendant. The cast tried at the September term o court before Judge Doomer , r.t whicl time the jury stool clevcu for convlc tlon and. one for'acquittal. After being gut forty-eight , hours they were dis charged. Witincr is charged with stealing two horses'froin the pasture of J. B. Kallon , of Glenwood , on the night of the 7th of November , 1880. At that time he was engaged as a horse dealer in Omaha. Ho acknowledges that ho had the horses in his possession on the afternoon of the 8th , claiming to have purchased them at Papillion. A short time- before tills , four other horses were stolen in Mills county , and Witmer says ho also had them in his possession. The greater part of the day was taken up with the examination o'f witnesses for the state. It is rather doubtful whether the case will be finished to-day or not.

Mr. Gcise'H lMnn . A BEE reporteryestorday interviewed Mr. Conrad Goise in regard to the pro- jMsed removal of his brewery interests rom this city to Chattanooga. "Is it rue , Mr. Guise , " asked the scribe , that 1011 have purchased property in Chat tanooga for the purpose of erecting a brewery ? * ' "Yes , sir , it is. I shall leave for hero in a short time to see about let ting the contracts. I want to got the wilding finished as soon as possible , iiul that will take some time , as there ire over a million brick to be laid. I : iopo to have it in running order some time inMay. but I can't tell much about ! t , for. I don t know how fast those fjul- ows work down there. " "How extensively do you intend to branch put down there ? " "Oh , it will boon a larger scale than I did here. I expect to be able to turn out sixty barrels per day , while hero I ould only turn out Hfty barrels , when running at full capacity , which I did not do. It looks as though I will have ll I can do there , for there are but three other breweries in the state. " "Do you intend to dispose of all of our property in this city ? " "No , I want to sell my residence property , but I intend to keep the other. I will bo hereto look after it , for my son will have charge of the busi ness there. I don't expect to be there much of the time , but will continue to make my homo in Council Bluffs. " The gentleman did int give his reas ons for holding his brewery property in this city. It may bo that ho has hopes of the present prohibition law being re pealed , or he may bo satisfied with the property as a business investment. The present outlook fully justifies such an opinion as the latter. If you desire to pet a new Hall type writer cheap , drop n postal card to H. A. P. , linn ofllee. A great bargain for the lirst who applies. The Mayor SnyH His little Say. The entire police force was summoned to the chief's olllco last evening , and Mayor Rohrer was on hand to tell them what ho had to say in regard to the trouble that exists in their ranks. Ho said that the chief was the man who held the authority , and that his orders were to bo obeyed. The captain merely had charge of the night force , or during the absence of the chief. Ho told them exactly what was expected of them , and intimated very strongly that if they were clissatislied with their places , the proper thing for them to do was to resign , and the city would probably manage to get along without them. The disgruntled ones are still far from being satisfied , and say that the final action has not yet been taken. Their grand kick has not re sulted as favorably as they hoped , and it is beginning to dawn upon their minds that the mayor has an awful big will of his own for n little man , and that ho is not owned by the police force or any ol its members. The police committee , composed of Aldermen Metcalf , Keller and Dan forth have not yet taken any action in regard to the matter. All kinds of groceries at Pearson's. Relief For Minn Khattuck. The collection taken at the Congre gational church Sunday night for the benefit of Miss Slmttuck amounted tc $40.

Travelers ! Stop at the Bechtolo. The Noctl of a Bridge. Wagon travel between this city and Omaha is getting unusually light.

Smith , the theatrical manager , whoso recent ben- ellt at the Star theatre was a handsome testimonial to his popularity in No\\ York , tells the following story of twc circus advortlsei a well known in thoii day , Charley Castle and "Doctor- Jones. Thcbu two worthies were adver tising a circus in Virginia just aftoi the war. One day they reached Lexington , Va. whore Stonewall Jackson is buried Tholr first move was to find'the clerk of the corj-oratlon ntid arrange for'a li cense. Southernqttlelals did not look kindly on show popplo from the north and they often cVarged a license that made n showman turn pule. Jones , who was a ready talker , $ ot out to propitiate the clerk. "A bravo tight you mndo of it , " wild Jones , after making themselves known. "We did the best wo could , " said the clerk , who carried the scars of numer ous battles. "But the valor of the gods them selves , " exclaimed Jones , grandilo quently , "backed by the purest and most exalted patriotism could not have with stood such overwhelming odds as were brought against you. Yet while fear fully Kcourged by the demons of war you have the proud satisfaction of knowing that you came out of the sanguinary stauggle with honor still bright and un tarnished. " "Are you a southern man , sir1 ? " asked the clerk. "Yes no well , partially. I was born In the southern portion of Philadelphia. I may cay that 1 sympathized strongly with the southern cause. " "That's what ailed me , " chimed In Castle , mentally figuring on the amount of reduction they were likely to get on the license. "By the way , " Jones went on , "near you.- town , I am told , repose the earthly remains of one of the bravest and most distinguished defenders of the stars and bars noble Stonewall Jackson , " " " % 'ho is "Yes. replica the clerk , buried in the little graveyard up on the hill yonder. " "Tho purest man and the greatest soldiou that America has ever produced , " exclaimed Jones enthu siastically. "His name is en graved on the enduring walls of eter nity. Ills deeds will be recalled by the historian , the orator , and the poet when the names of Grant , Sherman and Sheridan are lost in oblivion. How far is it up to that cemetcryV" "About three miles. " "O , come to business , ' ' interrupted Castle impatiently. "I can do no business , " said Jones in a tone of stern reproof , "until 1 have llrst made a pilgrimage to the grave of Stonewall Jackson. Come , Castle , it is a pious duty for us both. " It wits a hot day and the roads deep with dnst , so Castle did not relish the pilgrimage very much , but circus li censes came high in the south and ho was disposed totrv the uses of concilia tion. tion.Toward Toward the close of the afternoon Cas tle and Jones might have been * eon re turning from the cemetery on the hill , dusty and tired , each with a buttonhole bouquet formed of material gathered at the grave of the hero they professed to worship. When they again found the clerk Jones burst forth : "I have visited the hermitage of Andrew Jackson , Lhavo wandered in the graves of Monticello.I have stood by the tomb of the immortal Washington him self , but I look upon this as the greatest and most exalted pilgrimage of my life ! " "Indeed ? " said the clock. "Yes. sir ; and I want to add " "Yes , sir. " "Add nothin' , " broke in Castle , tired of this roundabout way of doing busi ness ; "what I want to know is , how much do you charge hero for a circus license1" ; "Four hundred and fifty dollars , " re plied the cleric. "WhatI" From Castle : 'Four hundred and fifty dollars. " "Why , blank blank your blankety blank to blank and'blankjjation ' ! " yelled Castle , fairly dancing with rage : "tho war ended too soon. You wasn t licked enough ! " That circus didn't show in Lexington. * MIRAGE SCENES. Arms and Black-It oucd Priests Flout- iiiK In the Air. San Francisco Examiner : "Whoop up the romping spooks out east of Bar- stow , " said John Carson , an Atlantic & Pacific railroad man , to a reporter yes terday. "I saw you had something in the Examiner several weeks ago about the mirage on the Mojave desert and the myriads of people that were seen in boats about there. Well ? they're thick ening np. In winter time , you know , they always get thicker. For eight months now I have been running the Hundred-mile division out east of Bar- stow. The spooks uved to loom up about every other day. Now we see them nearly all the time. They're the ghoulcst lot of things , too , I ever did see. They appear in all sorts of shapes. At first they were a tolerably respect able lot of ghosts , clad in white , with faces and hands that looked very much like apparitions as shown in pictures , only they appeared and disappeared , lloated horizontally and in every other position in the air , and always stand about a quarter of a mile away from us. Now you can got within an eighth of a mile , and some of them are trigged out like Indians , with feathers in their hair , and something like a streak of red around their bodies. "The scientists say that the increase in the phenomena is owing to the pe culiar atmospheric changes at this time of the year. Whether it is or not , I know they would have a very hard time convincing the people of it who travel over our lino. A woman last week , who was from Illinoisfainted when she got a glimpse of a lot of them sailing on an imaginary lake. Lakesand green trees appear without number now on the Col orado desert. Fringing these lakes with a circle of green and with the strange characters floating about on thorn , a queer sight is presented. You never can get nearer than an eighth of a mile to these lakes. "There rose up In front of the engine last Saturday , however , " said Mr. Car son , "tho strangest conglomeration of figures that I presume mortal eyes ever beheld. Ever see pictures of Dante's 'Inferno' as illustrated by Doro ? It was something like- that , the weircdest , awfulest sight an admixture of lloating arms , legs , and pieces of shrouds. Throe or four white-faced women , as many gray bearded men , and a solemn visnged priest in black robes lloated In the blue ether with the mass. Sol Anderson , our engineer , was the most scared man you over saw. Ho put on every pound of steam he had , and wo went tearing over the desert likamad. Wolls-Fargo's agent , I thought , would have died. Lucky for us that the awful mirage hov ered by the engine and tender , else wo should have had a howling lunatic asy- 1 um aboard the train. Do you suppose I could hayo convin''ed them the things were not genuine ? Not much. Fact is , I had all I could do to hold my own self level. Every time I looked at them I said : 'My God ! those things are rcall There can't bo anything so clearly roj > - resented as that and not bo genuine ! ' Well , they hovered there for fully twenty minutes , and then disappeared like a flash. Beyond were notinng but our green fringed lakes. "Tho desert just now is usually hard and parched. The sun bhinos clear and warm. If the apparitions thicken I don't know what wo will do with our pcoole. Some of them are likely to go raving mad.

Ua\jt \ Cashier , St. Paul , JlJun. A CurlbtiH Sword. Feat. , Atlanta Constitution : Mr. Ros < i was alking with * a party of gentlemen in Abe Fry's store , yesterday , when the conversation turned upon the handling of the broadsword. One man said : "Mr. Ros-a , I under stand that you claim to bo able to tie up in apple in a handkerchief and cut the apple in halt without cutting a hole in .ho handkerchief. " " 1 can do it , " said Ross. "It is hard to believe , ' ' replied the ; cntlcman , and then several gentlemen n the store offered to wager $10 each that the thing could not be done. "Well , gentlemen , " said Ross , "I lon't do this feat for a living , and 1 don't want to take your money ; but if you will walk down to my room at the M'nrkliam [ will soon convince you that you are wrong. " Down to the Markhamwcnt the party , and up into Mi * . Ross's boudoir. Mr. iU s took from the waflrobe two long broadswords , both of which were heavy and very sharp. He laid the swords on the bed. "Now , Mr. Fry , " said he , "give mo your handkerchief. " Mr. Fry handed him a white cotton handkerchief , fra grant of white rose perfume , and having a flowered border. Mr. Ross put an ordinary apple in the center of the "kerchief , tied it up , fastened some sowing thread around the knot , tied the other end to the end of a walking cane , and said : "Mr. Fry , mount this chair and hold the stick. " Mr. Fry mounted the chair and held out the stick so that the handkerchief- bound apple was suspended in the air. Mr. Ho-ss then took up one of the swords. and having cut a jiiccc of thread in two , squared himself in the middle of the room , and fixing his eyes steadily upon the handkerchief for nearly a minute , suddenly made a stroke upward , strik ing the handkerchief. He then untied the handkerchief , and there was the apple _ cut half in two and there was no slit in the handkerchief. Ho then performed the same feat with a silk hancKcrchicf , and then the gen tlemen shook hands nil around. They were glad that Mr. Ross had declined to make a wager. _ - - - _ Grocerymen are subject to a now dan ger. It lies in canned pumpkin.

S. Barrows , of Mamtun , Dakota , "that I bought 10,000 Buffalo horns , and to-day it is about impossible to obtain one for lo\e or money. According to the stories of hunters and trappers who have been engaged in their occupations for years , one small herd of buHaloes exists at this time as a representative of the count less thousands that swarmed on the west ern prairies , anp they have sought protection in the Yellowstone park. There are about thirty in the herd , and many of the tourists through the park last summer encountered them during their tuivols. Even these are likely to become exterminated , unless the gov ernment takes vigorous measures for their security , as their whereabouts are known to a few daring spirits , who will take desperate chances to kill them , if they can bo di seovered near the boun dary line of the park , where detection would be diHioult. The experience of Taxidermist W. T. Hornaday , of the National mu eum. in quest of specimens of buffalo for that institution , have already been given at length , and ho had orders besides from European mus eums for some of these animals. After working industriously for Uvo seasons and traversing all the country north and west of Minnesota to the Canada line ho succeeded in finding two or three animals , which have been stuffed and mounted for the museum at Wash ington , and unless the United States government decides to pick out a few of its only herd as a present to some European museum the foreign orders never will bo filled.
