Forcing n Child From Its Mother.
The fnto of little Maud McCoy was yester
day determined by Judge Decmcr , who
wisely concluded that ns between father nnd
mother the father was the moio fit custodian
of the child. The mother's record was shown
to bo such ns to render her unlit to train up n
little girl , and the only salvation for the
child seemed to bo to take her away from her
mother , The father Is at work on n f.irm ,
nbout seven miles from the city , and the
little girl will bo taken Into the same libmo
for n short time , and will later bo prob.ibly
taken to her grandparents at Mount Pleas
ant. Little Maud has been with her mother
most of the time , and under her control nil of
the time , since the separation of the parents
two years ago. She is strongly attached to
her mother , nnd as strongly predjudiced
against her father. Pending the decision she
has been In care of the sheriff , nnd when the
order was made yesterday , and the father
came to claim her , there was a wild scene.
The mother was present , nnd clung to her
child in desperation , declaring they might
kill her , but sho- would not give her up.
Little Maud cried , and hung to her mother's
neck , nnd it was only by the use of force
that the two could bo separated. Those who
witnessed the separation will not soon for
get it. It seemed cruel , but the future of
the .child demanded that she no longer bo
allowed to remain under the influence of n
mother who was continuing a course which
would probably result in the ruin of the
child.

Iilttle Reforms Needed.
The new county court house is a thing of
beauty , but it docs not promise to bo a a joy
forever , unless it is better cared for. The
tlllings nro hurriedly swept occasionally , but
there is great need of scrubbing , in order to
remove the numerous nnd disgusting exhibi
tions of how carolcss the tobacco users be
come. Thcro Is little attention being paid to
the proper ventilation of the building , and the
dead sort of a smell is becoming quite notice
able. Advertising placards and other notices
are being posted up as though the walls wcro
board fences , ppcn to frco use for nil pur
poses. Thcro are several panes of glass
broken out , nnd some of tlicsu openings are
patched up by thin boards , or papers , giving
a bankrupt sort of appearance to the build
ing. Old rubbish Is littering the yard , and
numerous pieces of ancient and decrcpld
furniture ) nro still conspicuous in various
parts of the building.
The absence of all telephonic communica
tions is a cause for frequent criticism. No
ono ofllccr is willing to take charge of a telephone -
phone and do the running for everyone who
desires to call up some ono else about the
building. The county board hesitates about
going to the expense of furnishing more than
ono ofllce with a telephone , or of paying a
messenger boy to wait upon the instrument.
There uro frequent demands for telephonic
service , and during court especially , judge ,
jury and all are often obliged to sit idly and
wait the slow messenger , when a telephone
would save all this tuna and annoyance * , and
in fact save money enough to pay for the ex
pense.

No Sunday Games Wanted.
The proposed schedule providing for Sun-
pay games of bnso ball in this city has [ called
forth an earnest expression against it in the
form of njrdspectful petition , signed by 100
of the leading ladles of the city. The peti
tion Is us follow * :
To the Managers of the Council muffs Basa
Ball Club ; We , the undersigned , wishing to
avail ourselves of the privilege of witnessing
the games of base hall now being planned for
the coming season , and knowing how much
pleasure is derived from attending our nation
al games when well conducted , do herewith
present a request that all the dates bo so ar
ranged as not to full upon Sunday In Council
Bluffs , or its suburbs.
Such a request , coming from such a source ,
will doubtless have much weight in deciding
the question whether there shall bo Sunday
games played hero. The petition is prom
ised the consideration which it merits , nnd
it is believed the schedule of game will bo eo
arranged as to have all the games played
upon ween days , Tlio ladles are very much
In earnest , and they uro supported In the
move by many of the best citizens. It is
urged that in DCS Molnes the games has been
made a financial success without any Sunday
games being played- The ladles premise to
support the ganin by their presence und pa
tronage on week days , and show their friend
liness by the inauguration also of a move
ment by which they hone to prevail upon the
merchants to close their stores during the
heated at 4 o'clock
season Saturday after
noons , so as to allow the employes and
clerks an opportunity to sco the games on
Saturdays.
