They were Bill Jones and Bill Hates , both elmrged with non-conformity to the laws of dietetic integrity , commonly called drunkenness. Miss Sadiu Morohouso died nt the residence of her sister , Mrs. Hugh Ooss , February 20th from a congestive chill. The remains will bo taken to Missouri Valley this morning. The deceased was 45 years of age. The case of Levy , for obtaining money under false pretenses , was sot for yes terday in 'Squire Schurz' court. Ono of the attorneys in the case was out ol the city and the other busy in n higher court , HO it was indellnitely postponed. Alfred Woodward of Macedonia has started the manufacturing of a washing machine , which is proving a startling success. J. D. Gault of Carson , George Ouron and other well-known residents of this county voluntarily sound its praises , having tried it. All lovers of music will have an op portunity to puss an onjoyaplo evening nt the opera house to-night , on the oc casion of the second concert of the Apollo club of Omaha , assisted by Mrs. Lntey und Miss Ponnell. The pro gramme is varied , and can not fail to please. The proprietors of the Kiel hotel are starting in on homo oxtnnt > ivo im provements in the way of plumbing , etc. , that will greatly add to the con venience and comfort of their guests. It is not strange that this well-known hostelry continues to hold its place in popular favor. In the district court yesterday the Richardson-Scott ca&o came to a finish , and was given to the jury about 0 o'clock. Tlio charge of the judge was very full and took an hour to deliver. The Collman case will como on to-day. nnd most of the day will probably betaken taken in securing a jury. Carter & Son , of the Ogdpn Boiler works , have boon putting in n largo il punch and adding other facilities for i doing moro and better work. This manufacturing enterprise is a credit to the city , and there is now no need of going away from homo to secure the very best sort of work in this lino. It is stated on good authority that ono of the First nvonuobolleswill soon enter upon a state of double-blessedness. As there are about a half dozen of them to whom the soft impeachment might apply , it is somewhat dilllcult to deter mine which one will first send around a sample of aristocratic dyspepsia in dis guise , known as wedding cake. It is now authoritatively stated that Jacob Noumoyer has his arrangements completed for the erection of a three- story hotel. Uo has purchased of George Rudio the lot abutting upon his property on Broadway. This will give him a good frontage. Plans are being prepared - pared , contracts let and within a short time the active work of building will bo under way. There can no longer bo any doubt about the crossings for tho' motor line to Lake Manawn. The bills of lading for the crossings reached hero yester day , and the crossings themselves will probably bo received to-day. The motor line will now bo completed as speedily as possible. It is .authorita- tively'stateu that two now motors are being built , and will be ready in abundant time for the opening of the season. Mr. Reed is quiet in his moves and docs not indulge in as many vain boasts as those who hud the enterprise in hands last season , but ho scorns to be accomplishing much more.

WORKING FOR A NEW HOTEL' The I'roKrcHH ofthc Drltlice A Silver AVctltllitK The Grain ! Jury The Aldermen AVIII Not The Fool and Hlfl Money. The latest und most simple exhibition of gray-haired verdancy is that of John F. Hunt , of Filmorc , Mo. , who , yester day morning , allowed himself to bo "turned over" to the tune of $35 by a brace of slick rascals. It was the same old game with a little change by way of variety. The circumstances arc as fol lows : On Monday last Mr. Hunt boarded the train for the purpose of vis- 'iting his two sons , who are located at .Qlorlch , Dak. When the train arrived at St. Joseph a man got on the train ana took n seat opposite to him across the nislo. In the conversation which ensued - sued Hunt told his now acquaintance of his visit and its purpose , and in turn w w told that his now friend was a mer chant at Valentino , Neb. ; his name was Morgan nnd ho had a brother in the grocery business at the same town near which Hunt's sons lived. By the inter change of these little confides the old man's faith was won entirely. When the couple nrrived at the Union Pacilic transfer depot the chicken was all ready to pluck. They alighted at the depot and Morgan casually remarked that his friend , the transfer agent , was outside , and excused himself while he wont to transact homo "transfer" busi ness , Morgan returned in n few min ute's and when the Northwestern train pulled out the wolves and the lamb were on board. The whole business was done before the train reached the local . The " " in and depot. "agent" came was introduced to Hunt. Then their "busi ness'1 was introduced. The agent must have money , etc. Morgan had none about him. but had plenty in a sixty- pound safe which was in the baggage car. The safe could not bo got at , as it was piled in with other safes , until Mis souri Valley was reached. Morgan would give n check as security and a handsome bonus for the use of a loan. Hunt had.only $35 , in gold. This was , at first , not near enough for the pur pose , but the pair llnally concluded they could get along with this amount until the Valley was reached. The old man parted with his gold ; the train stopped at the depot ; Morgan got oft to see the town , and the agent got oft to attend to business. When they had got outside the train Officer Quinn , who was passing through the car , asked Hunt who the men wore ; what they had done to him , ' etc. At first Hunt would say nothing , but finally gave the whole thing up. When the olllcor had trot the story he started out to find tlio rogues. Several persons had noticed them , and the direction they had taken was given. The ofllcer hunted , but to no purpose the birds had flown. Among those who saw the rogues was Baggageman Moxloy. Ho suspicioned something wrong and followed them up into the city and into the yardsof the Cnicago Lumber company , where they stopped and divided the swag. In a short time Marshal Guanolla and Chief Mullen were notified. A fair descrip tion of the men was secured from Hunt and a search for the rascals was insti tuted. Thus far no clue as to their whereabouts has been cecured. Hunt describes them thus : Morgan as a medium sized , dark complected man. about thirty years of ago. Ho had a dark chin beard and mustache and were n dark suit and dark overcoat. The "agent , " ho says , was a tall , light com plected , smooth-faced man of about the ago of his companion. He has prom inent eyes and u quick , nervous way of winking. Others who saw them de scribe them differently , so the police have very little to work on in the matter - tor of means of identification. The depots - pots nnd all outgoing trains are closely watched. Hunt remained in the city yesterday to assist in identification in case they are caught. This morning ho will proceed on his journey a much wiser man for his experience with the "world and its ways. " Among those who heard the victim's story was Polenx. the Gorman who was bled for $100 a few months since on the bogus check racket. Ho says ho thinks ho knows the "express agent" from the description , and has scon him around the transfer a great deal. In talking of the case ho said : "Since I vas bite , it make mo hot to hear of deso sardine. " Ho is very anxious to secure the cooperation - ration of Colonel Dailoy , and thinks ho can corral the sharpers. The police will keep a sharp lookont for them , but are not much elated with the prospect for catching them. Domestic patterns at lOo Main street. Union Abstract Co. , 230 Main st.

Dodge was in the city yesterday and left last evening in pur suance of business projects. While hero he , in company with his architect , Mr. Allen , of the firm of Allen & Boll , visited the postofllco block and planned for its entire reconstruction. It will bo remodeled , within and without , and fitted up with all modern improvements. When completed the block will boonoof the finest buildings for mercantile pur poses in the wcst.Tho work will begin as soon as the governmentbuilding is com pleted , and the postofllco moves into its now quarters. There is a possibility that Mr. Bono will connect this with his present stores , thus having the mammoth store of the west.

H.MIKNKSS BUOTJIKUS , 401 Broadway , Council Bluffs. Working for a Now Hotel. The business men of the city are hav ing an opportunity to make n practical fallowing of their wants in the matlor of a hotel. Two schemes nro on foot and both are being pushed with much vigor. Tlio board of trade committee are taking names and the amount each ono is will- Ing to give to the enterprise. The other plan is being prcsentcd'byanothcr com mittee. This provides for the location of the bulldincr at either Seventh or Eighth streets on Broadway. The fol lowing stipulations are incorporated in the subscription. The hotel shall con tain not less than ono hundred and twenty-five rooms , shall cost not less ' than $76,000 , nnd shall bo completed within ono year. The terms of payment of stock are 2- " > per cent of stock when the foundation Is completed , 25 per cent when the walls nro up. 25 per cent when the building Is enclosed and the remain ing 25 per cent when the hotel Is opened. The property in view is owned by sev eral different parties. Joslnh Danforth owns upon both corners at Eighth nnd Smith Saumlors and Dr. Cleaver own the lots on the other cornor. Danforth is already getting a fair revenue from his property , but is willing to devote it to this purpose if small gratuity is fur nished to cover incidental loss. The other property Is vacant. Both Saunders - dors and Cleaver purpose erecting some kind of n building upon their property. If it is not secured for a hotel site , they will , during this season , erect store buildings. Now that the matter has de veloped a definite plan and purpose the immediate building of a first class hotel seems n surety. E. H. Sheafe loans money on chattel security of every description.

A report appeared in ono of the city papers n short time since stating that Aldermen Wells and Metcalf were about to resign their scats in the city council on account of differences. They deny that this is the case , and say that their only reason for resigning is on account of other business. Alderman Metcalf states that ho will bo awiiy on business during n part of the summer , and it was for that reason that ho thought it might bo better for some ono else to bo , elected in his place , but ho was afraid that the vacancy might bo filled by a party who would not bo in favor of carrying on the city improvinents as mapped out. It is probable that there will bo no resigna tions among the city fathers , and that those who hold over will continue to de vote a part of their time to ho consider ation of municipal affairs.

Wild rumors were Hying about last night and meetings were hastily ar ranged between J. Y. Fuller and cer tain other prominent citizens. It finally leaked out that while Mr. Fuller was on his way homo he had accidentally fallen over the artistic stone bridge that spans Lake Woodbury at the corner of. First avenue and Pearl. Mr. Fuller never does anything by halves , and so when ho fell in , wont straight to the bottom. When ho reached the surface again he had in his grasp a number of specimens of splendid genuine Centrovillc coal. Naturally , Mr. Fuller was wildly excited - cited over the discovery , and generously confided the secret to the abovementioned tioned prominent citizens. It took con siderable effort to convince Mr. Fuller that the coal had been dumped into the lake lust fall by Cashier Hannon , in a | vain endeavor to make a crossing for First avenue pedestrians.

Smith celebrated their silver wedding Monday evening at their homo , corner of Seventeenth street and Sixteenth avenue. Many of the guests present were also present at the first wedding twenty-five years ago. The couple were married by Squire David DoVol , and Mr. H. H. Field played the "fiddle" on the happy occa sion. At the anniversary the marriage ceremony was repeated by the squire , and Mr. Field played the same music on the same old "fiddlo. " Mr. and Mrs. Smith led in dancing the same old quadrille. Many of the relics of the former wedding were displayed , und the enjoyment of the party was un bounded , There wore many elegant and hearty congratulations.

The steps of the ladder were ripped off , but u projecting bolt stopped the weight be fore it reached the man on the frame or ho would have suffered severe if not fatal injuries. The damage was soon repaired. The Ladies' Reading club will mcot on Thursday of this week with Mrs , L. W. Ross , on Willow ave. Charged With Bigamy. The attorneys for William J.

The company has at pres ent about eight hundred members , rop- I'csenting,000,000 worth of insured property. During .the year just > assed the total losses amounted .o only $1,800 , and this is 1 early double -what it has been for liny previous year. It is the policy of the company to draw money from the bank to pay a los * within ton days from the time it occurs , and afterward levy an assessment to , pay it back. For the last year the assessment amounted to about H mills ' -on the dollar , but "is UMially Jess than ono mill , as this ; ias been nil exceptionally severe year. The territory coVbrcd by this company embraces three counties , Pottawatta- nio , Harrison a'nd Mills. All farm [ irrperty is insured against fire and lightning. Tlio1 property is assessed at , ts full value , and , in onso of toss two- thirds of the nt.sesbcd value is paid. Much euro is exercised in placing risks , as the result shows. The company' has been very successful thus far , and the nembers are well satisfied with its workings. The Knights Templar banquet and re ception has been postponed. By order Ex. Com. Temporarily Kmbarassecl. At a meeting of the board of trustees of the Y. M. C.

There are several bills grow- ii j out of the purchase of the apparatus for the gymnasium that are now duo and pressing.

Two or three years ago , hilaJio was away , burglars entered his residence and took from the safe over $5,000 worth of diamonds , none of which was over recovered. When it was learned in Corning that the robbery had boon committed with the greatest ease because the snfa was unlocked , it could not be understood how a man of the congressman's strict busi ness methods could bo so careless and thoughtless in regard to the pro tection of his household treasures , es pecially as many -thorn , through asso ciation and long family possession , had a value to him. much beyond their in trinsic worth. I mentioned the matter to' the congrcss'irtan ono day. and ex pressed my surprise at his carelessness , when ho increased my surprise by say ing-thai the fact of the safe being un locked on the night of the robbery was not the result' of carelessness or thoughtlessness , and that it was left open by his express order and direction. " 'When I anThcmc , ' he said , 'I al ways lock the safe and put the key away. When I go away from home it is understood iii.my house that the safe must not bo locked. You may remem ber that when thp Wellsboro bank was robbed u few years ago the cashier and members of his family wore treated with great cruelty and violence by the robbers because.'of their resisting the demands for the keys to tJio vault and safe. That set mo to thinking , and ono day I said to my wife : 'We ' have some things in that safe which are valuable and very dear to us. Now , it is only a question of time when some ruffian or ruffians will como after them. If I am at homo , the chances are that they will not got them ; but I may bo away at the timo. If they como then and find that safe locked , they will hosltato at no per sonal violence toward you in tfieir efforts to effect an entrance to it. All the precious relics and treaburcs in the world would not recompense for the re sult of such treatment. Therefore , when I am absent from homo the safe must not bo locked. TJion if robbers como they will secure their booty and retire without disturbing you. ' " 'Robbers carne while I was awajy continued the congressman , "secured the booty , and left without disturbing Mrs. Walker or any ono elso. They were oven considerate enough to ad minister other to my wlfo , for fear of disturbing her. Suppose that safe had been locked ?
