G 'CS1 the npietv still jo- tune to divulge the meaning ot tlic mys tic letters. The fact has been amply demonstrated that men do have curios ity , and well developed. There seems to have arisen some mis apprehension in regard to the banquet being arranged by the bar association in connection with the dedicatory exer cises of the court house. The banquet is not a public one , but for the associa tion and their invited gitcsts. The easopf Strjiighain , for assaulting H. A. Baird with a billiard cue , has * been continued until Monday , March liJ , as the prosecuting witness is still con fined to his home. Mr. Baird is recov ering very slowly , and it will bo some . time before ho gets over the effects of his injuries. A young men's colored club was or ganized in the city last evening with twenty-five members. Charles Curtis was elected chairman and Charles Junes secretary. A ticket was culled from the three already in the field , and the members swore upon a keen-edged "ruzzer" to do their best to elect it. The republicans charge the demo crats with a disgraceful attempt ta break up the "citizens' convention" Friday night. The democrats came out equally stoutly that the republicans tried to break up the "citizens1 conven tion. " It seems that both are wrong. It was "tho citizens" who broke up the meeting. The dirty attack made through the columns of the Evening Herald againsl the members of inn Council Bluffs chit is simply an instance of how some men are so carried away by party zeal , or tht hope for party plunder , us to forgot de cency and self respect. The club wil' continue at the old stand. I. N. Flickingor declares that ho is ii no sense an aspirant for office , and hi : name was used at Friday evoning'i convention without any consent 01 knowledge on his part. He doclinei any and all nominations , and is cleat out of the race. In fact , he says h < never entered it , and objects to having his name presented as a candidate. A number of prisoners were son tcnced. Adams , who was BO absent minded as to drive off a pair of horsoi belonging to Chris Durr , was sentenced to four years in the penitentiary. Harr ; Wlnn , for obtaining goods by a bog a check , was given three years. Sullivan , for larceny , got eighteen months Frances , the old man , for larceny , wa given two years. Ho will have passei vhia three score years and ten by tht . , 'tlino ho breathes free air again. * The two ward candidates for alder men on the democratic ticket uro sale to be running largely in the interests o .Walters as chief of the fire department Walters claims that he is not an as plrant for the position , but on the otho : hand it is claimed that his only show ti cot there is in keeping shady. It is believed lioved that if. nis aldormanio candidate .were known openly to be in- favor of hi being chief , they would be defeated The present chief , Tcmpleton , is givinj general satisfaction and many want I Bee him retained , but if a change is do sirablu It seems that there are far bettc men to bo selected froth the present < 5c partmont than either Walters o Nicholson , who is also an aspirant. I coins still worse to have alderrnni running on such a narrow guago roa as the choice of a particular man fo chief of the fire department. St. Cecilia Concert.

Yesterday afternoon a fine-looking young man stepped into the First Na tional bank and presented a check for $50 , signed by W. R. Bennett & Co. , of Omaha , in favor of E. Franklin. T hoe- doro Laskowski , the assistant cashier , informed him that as ho was a stranger ho woud have to bo identified or get the check endorsed by some one. Ho wont out nnd came in soon after with the check indorsed by J. B. Atkinstho , well-known druggist. The young man remarked Unit-he had been working in the store , The assistant cashiorshowod it to Mr. Farns worth , who thought it was the signature of Mr. Atkins , butte to make certain it wns taken over toOffi- cor & Pusoy's , where Mr. Atkins does business. They thought it was a genu ine signature , but there being a little doubt a telephone inquiry was mndo of Mr. Atkins. He chanced to be out , and while the fact wns being learned the young man stepped out of the bank , say ing he would bo buck in a few minutes. lie did not return , and when Mr. At kins was found he pronounced the in dorsement of his name a forgery.

' Calling Strikes , The "Q" strike is still , "on" in all it force , but the company Is managing t get their trains out nearly ou.timc Yesterday the passenger service in am out of this city was as before the strlk went into effect. The officials rlnimoi that the freight trains on the Kansa City were running , and expect to go the main line "Q" freights runnlni to-day. The "flyera" wore put on yet torduy , and the officials Jaygrcat strcs ou the rapidity with which they are get ting now men. A HUE reporter asked one of th prominent officers of the company wha would be done with the new men in < : ns the difficulty should bo adjusted. "Why , " said ho , "wo shall t-tand b , the new men , of course. Perhaps the , wouldn't be kept in their presen places , for the company wants the mos reliable men in the responsible positions but the new men won't be discharged. He claimed that the new men wor competent , but the reporter iuforru from his remarks that ho wouhl'Uko t give the Htrikurs the cruur if they would return. Th strikers , however , remain firm i the stand they have taken. One c thn in informed thu reporter that h could get91,000 if ho.would "go bac on" the brotherhood , but he "wouldn 'do it for the who ! 'ytysXcui"aa ' that scorns .to bo the opinion ofnll'of them. ' Several of the strikers here went ucroes the river lost night to at tend a mooting of the brotherhood held there. They Ecom to be just us-confU 'dent of success now as at any time since the strike began , ' < 'The P rk mil. A. C. Graham , thjo efficient park commissioner , slipped over to Des Moincs the other day to sco about the bill there-pending to cure all * seeming defects in the cgndemnation proceedings by which the * city'secured the title to Fatrmount park. The park com missioners do not admit that there are any serious defects , but it has become apparent that oven the technical ones , or the seeming ones , whether real or fancied , are leading to litigation , nnd they desire trt got an art which shall prevent any further such annoyance. Mr. Graham very quietly slipped over to Des Molnes to see about the passage of this enabling act , and supposed that his mission was unknown to the others here , who are trying to wrest the title from the city. Ho was congratulating himself on his strategy , when suddenly Attorney Huliluno appeared on * the scene. Huldane is generally wide awake , and this time , us usual , he was not found to be napping. The matter was'brought to the attention of the com mittees , and n partial hearing given these gentlemen. Now that the attor ney who is righting to get the park' has put in nn appearance nnd had his suy , the attorneys representing the'city arc to bo given n like opportunity. The contest will'probably be carried on in the committee room there as well as in the courts here , but the city officials are confident that it must result in both canes in the city holding the park , and a bar being placed to any further an- noyine suits of this kind. .

The voters are to be asked at this election to empower the levying of nn additional tax of one mill for park pur poses. The proposition meets with much favor , despite the many complaints al ways common at this time of year that taxes are high enough now. The park commissioners have never had a very large fund on which to draw for im- jJIC.YCSjcut ; , lind now tint private par ies have begun suits to try and wrest Tairmount park from the city , it scorns hut the park fund is liable to be drawn ipon to successfully resist this attempt , t will probably cost not a few dollars to > revont the park falling into the lands of private speculators and to so clear up the title that no nore such attempts will hereafter jo made. There is great confidence 'elt in the outcome , but with this bpecial nnd needful drain on this fund , the park commissioners will be hampered in making needful improvements 'to the larks , unless the additional mill is voted. Bayliss park ought to have new walks ; there tyght to be water in Fairmount mrk ; there are numerous other uccom- nodations and conveniences demanded ay the public. While the heavy prop erty owners have to pay the largest part of this tax , they are not the ones who need the parks so much us those who cannot afford to have lawns nnd foun tains of their own. The rich can take their summer trips , and enjoy them selves in fashionable summer resorts , but the parks are for the people at largo , and ns such should be fostered and encouraged by the people.

To the Voters of Council Bluffs : Hav ing announced myself a candidate for re-election to the office of city auditor , I perhaps owe the people a statement ol reasons for such action , taken inde pendently of party nomination. To be brief , I was always disposed to hold the democratic principle sacred , that the people were above parto , and as I was elected two years ago by un overwhelm ing majority of the votes of both demo crats and republicans of Council'Bluffs , and have exercised the functions and performed the duties of city auditoi with strict regard for the principles ol justice. I do not believe that the action of the democratic city convention indi cated the will of the people of Council Bluffs , and desire to appeal directlj to the people , both for vindication against unwarranted assaults , and re election to a trust it cannot bo said truly that I in any way neglected or abused. In fact , I have not heard that any one has so charged. Under these existing facts I will be a candidate for the office of city auditor , of which position I am the present incumbent , subject to the will of the voters of this city. L. KlNNEHAN.

His clothes were completely \ saturated , nnd when they wdre i removed tthe blood trickled down and peen formed a large pool beneath the chair in which he sat.

The bleeding , was soon stopped and the wound dressed , after which Vance wns apparently ready for another fracas. After doing the cutting , Frco started down an alley , nnd headed for the river. The news of the affair was quickly communicated to the police , and the entire force , both dn.v and night men , were soon in pursuit of the colored carver. Captain Nick O'Brien chartered n dray , and Policeman Unthank bundled himself , in to the nearest buggy , and the' other members of the force who could not got other means of conveyance started out on foot.

Gaddi , of Shenandoah , was turned over to the officers , charged with being insane. While waiting for his train he became posseted of the idea that he must de molish the waiting room with an axe , and had to bo placed under restraint. Ho was taken to the station and locked up. Ho was a well dressed , linely edu cated young man of twenty-four years of age , and fully realized his condition , which ho said had been brought about by excessive- cigarette smoking. Ho claimed to be a druggist , and asked to be sent to Shenandoah. He was taken to the county jail and his ease will be disposed of by the board of insane com missioners.

While chairman of an imtrartunt committee in the senate some yearn < igo , he started from his house ono morning in great host * to attend nmeeting of his committee. Ncarlng the capital , a gust of wind blew his hat into the street in the opposite direction from which he was going. After hie hat had travelled a considerable distance up the avenue it wan finally captured by a small bov ami presented to tne senator , who in kind ness gave him a quarter for his services. After brushing- the dust from his hut he placed it on his head nnd continued to walk in the same direction the wind had taken his hat , up the nvenuo , toward the treasury department. Mr. Lnmar , not thinking which way.he was going , continued to walk rapidly until ho reached the treas ury building , passed up the steps , jumped into the elevator and told the man to put him out on the second floor , which he did. Mr. Lamar turned around the broad hall , opened the door of a room , when , much to his astonishment , whom should he find but the secretary of the treasury. Instead of being in the senate committee room he was in the secretary's office. "I.have made a mistake , " exclaimed Mr. Lttmar. "I thought I was iu the' cnpitol. " Then returning toward the door ho' retraced his steps , intending to take a car to the capital. Through some mis take ho took the wrong cur , and when ho looked about ha found himself in Georgetown , three miles from thu capi- tol. Ho asked the conductor how long it would bo before ho could get a car for the capital. "Five _ minutes , " was the answer. On this return trip , while the car wns passing the war department an old naval friend of Mr. Lamar's got aboard. They entered into conversation , and before - fore Mr. Lamar know it he had passed the capitol nnd the car had come to a standstill at the navy yard. Ho remarked to his friend that he had been trying tenet net to the cnpitol to attend a committee meeting all morning , It was then 1:30 : p. m. Lamar saw a stray hackman passing slowly and hailed him. He asked the driver if ho could take him to the capitol tel , and how long it would be to take him. him."Fifteen "Fifteen minutes. " . Mr. Lamar got into the hack and was driven off. In twenty minutes ho had joined his friends in the committee room. "LiySij " icr5.in 46 ° wgrld have you bccn > ' "Well , gentlemen , " said the amiable Mississippian , "I have been over since ten o'clock trying to got hero bf way of the treasury , ' Georgetown and the navy yard , and at last I hired a hacltmun to deliver mo at the senate. I am now here , " ho concluded , "ready for any business which the democratic party may need me for. " m The Grand Total of Small KxpenacB. Troy Times ; "It is a good thing to keep an account of your small ex penses , " ox-Minister John Bigclow once said to tin acquaintance , as ho entered nn item in his note book. His listener smiled nt the remark , | but took it to heart. In recently telling the story of his experience ho said that , up to that time , he hud never thought of the amount it cost him unnually for cigars and drinks and treats and other sun dries. Ho begun to itemize the cost daily. Ho was amazed at the end of the year when ho footed up the sum at $760. A change was wrought in him. He de termined that for the next year ho would keep such expenses down to one- third of the sum in question. "And now , " ho said , "within ten years I have profited by Mr. Bigelow's advice to the amount of $5,000 , which I have handed over to my wife to keep for hard times. And I have not become mean , either. " This little story embodies an excellent lesson and much good sense. SPECIALJNOTICES. NOTICE. CJPECIAL advertisements , such as Lost , ( found , k5 To Loan.
