John Chndwell. n lad of fifteen , who has "been making his homo with n distant rela tive , J. 1) . Austin , has suddenly disappeared. It Is supposed that it Is n cnso 6f runaway. The lad's ' parents died some time ago , nnd ho has been since cared for by relatives , who are ( luito anxious to know what has become of him. At the meeting ; of the school board Friday evening Mr. Foster , of Des Molnes , exhibited plans of buildings , und finally made n propo sition to draw plans for the proposed now building , nnd if they did not suit tlio board would chnngo them until they did. No action was taken m regard to the mutter , and the board adjourned until to-morrow evening. The number of llycrs nt the driving park Is daily Increasing.

Although the morning was rainy nnd the next lecture docs not take place until next Wednesday evening , there were over twp hundred tickets for the course sold yesterday forenoon , and the scats re served.

Tlio attendance at yesterday's ball gnmo between the homo team nnd the Crane Bros , team of Omaha was very light , thcro being but about flC taken nt the gate. The Bluffs boys looked very nobly in their new suits , and they played a strong even gaino that was a surprise oven to their most enthusiastic admirers. The grounds were in very poor condition , tlio space in the rear of the homo pinto being a veritable pond. Owing to this muddy condition of the grounds It was neces sary to change balls every few minutes , us the sphere would quickly become heavy mid bxtremoly dtfllcult to handle. The visitors played a good pamo , but failed to discover the enjoyable picnic that they had evidently expected to find. NOTTS OS TIIK OAMn. The amphitheater was deserted nnd the majority of the spectators shouted their ap proval from the Judge's stand.

It is n question who enjoyed it the more , Strode or tlio "other follows. " The now pitcher , Bcnn , is n daisy , and en joyed as much ns anyone the futile attompta of the visitors to Una the ball.

Yesterday was , ns usual , set nsldo In the district court for the hearing of motions nnd the transaction of other business not requir ing the prcscnico nnd wise aid of the Jurymen. HUfih Thompson was before the court to receive his sentence for having ono wlfo too many. The motion for a now trial , based on the claim that ono of the Jurymen who con victed him was drinking during the trial , was overruled. The sentence was not form ally pronounced , but Judge Ucemcr gnvo Thompson the assurance that if ho paid ? 500 cash Into the clerk's ofilco on or before next Saturday , that would bo the extent of the flno , and the Imprisonment would consist of ono day In the county Jail. If the money was not forthcoming bv that day ho would make the sentence ono year in tlio penitentiary , Tlio attorneys for Thompson assured the court that tlio'cash would bo paid in. The Jones murder case went over for two weeks. One interesting question sprung In court yesterday was In regard to appeals taken from Justice courts. Ordinarily those ap peals go right to the district court , but In this city there Is a superior court having concur rent Jurisdiction with the district court in such matters. In the case brought up yes terday nn appeal had been taken from 'Squire Brlggs' court , and that ofliclal took the transcript to the superior court , claiming that there were no directions given him to send it elsewhere. On the other hand , it was claimed that the attorney taking the appeal asked him to send it. to the district court. One of the questions is whether , in case the parties do not consent to having It go to the superior court , the justice can summarily tnko it there , or whether ho ought not taito It to the district court. Another question is as to whether the attorney ought not to sco to it himself , that the cnso is sent to the court which he selects , nnd whether ho ought not to follow up the case , instead of leaving it to the Justice wholly. Judge Doemer after hear ing the conflicting testimony , concluded that thcro were some nice points of law involved , which ho would have to consider. Grant , whoso right name is Jack Kane , was yesterday sentenced to four years for conflilcnclng a LaFayctte county man out of a few dollars at the transfer. Kane has had a hard record , and It is thought that a longer time in the penitentiary would no more than have evened up Justice , although for this sin gle offcnso ho perhaps gets a full dose. E. H.

A short time ago it was illfllcult to dispose of grading and other improvement bonds nt 00 cents on the dollar , but they arc now selling nt par , and the demand for them is much in excess of the supply. This result Is duo to the ef forts of Mayor Kohrer and the now1 council , who determined shortly after entering upon the duties of their oflico to change the exist ing state of affairs in that respect. The contractors appreciate the change , as it relieves them of the disagreeable task of hawking the bonds about for buyers when ever they wished to turn them into money. The result will also be felt by the taxpavers , ns the contractors will take city work nt lower figures when bonds sell readily at par than when they are a drug in the market at 00 per cent. A similar upward tendency is noticed in the price pr.ld for city warrants. City em ployes who receive their pay in warrants can now dispose of them for 90 cents , whereas but n few months ago they received only 80 cents. This increase In the value of the paper puts the money in the hands of the men who earned it. and whoso monthly pay is all they have to live upon , requiring them to sell their warrants for whatever they can got. This chance for the bettor is much appre ciated by nil parties concerned , nnd it is hoped will continue. o- The oldest firm , and largest stock ot wall paper in the city.

This evening nt the opera house there will bo a mass meeting in the Interests of the Chautauqua assembly. Tlio purpose of the gathering Is to further enlighten the public as to what has been done , what is to bo done , and the result which it is hoped to accom plish. There are many who Imvo but little- idea of the magnitude of the enterprise , or the great benollts which will surely follow the permanent establishment of this enter prise. Ifivcry public spirited citizen will gladly give material aid to this movement as soon ns lie realizes what it all means. At tlio meeting to-night no direct attempt Is to bo made to 'Secure subscriptions , but rather to explain the movement and nrouno the needed enthusiasm.

For a Hundred Years It Una Cured the ISItcH ot * Snnkes and Mnd Dogs. The recent death of n man in Banks county , Ga. , who had been bitten by a mad dog , has revived interest in mad- stones , of which there are several in various parts in the state , says the Savan nah News. There is one in Fail-burn which is said to have been successfully applied to about ono hundred persons. But by all odds the most notable stone the south is that owned by Mrs. L. W. Gibson , in Columbia county. It derived interest not nlono from the wonderful cures which it has effected , but from its antiquity nnd the manner in which it came into possession of the family. In 174fT a vessel from the East Indies touched the coast of North Carolina , where the great-grandfather of Mrs. Gibbon's husband lived at the time. A passenger who was sick was put oil , and Kir. Gibson took him lo his homo , where the stranger was welcomed and nursed back to health. When about to take his departure ho took from his pocket two stones , ono of which ho presented to Mr. Gibbon , tolling him tlmt it was of great ago , as ho had been assured by the gentleman from whom ho pro cured it in Bombay ; that it pos- scpsod remarkable powers in all cases of blood poisoning , whether it resulted from corrosion of foreign subbtnnco , from the bites of animals or insects of any description , or from inoculation. Even in cases of small-pox , said the stranger , the stone had been known to extract the poison from the system , leaving the patient thoroughly restored to health. Tlio stone was of a grayish black color and perfectly smooth. It was ono inch in length , three quarters of an inch in widtli and half an inch think. Tlio stranger disappeared , and the stone was laid by as u curiosity. No faith was placed in its medical quali ties. It was not long , however , before nn event happened which brought the stone into high roputo. A member of Mr. Gibbon's family was bitten by a rat- tlosmiko. All known remedies failed. The patient had pas&ed into paroxysms and all hope had lied. It was then that ono of the children thought of the mys terious stone. As no harm could bo done , it was determined to utso it. An incision was made in the patient's log , ono Inch above the spot bitten , ana the stone was inserted. As the stone nd- hcred a fee-ream of unuttcrablo anguish escaped the lips of the sulTeror , as if life itself was being drawn out. In less than ono minute the stone had changed its color from dark to n poisonous-look ing green. It was pulled out and soaked in warm water , and applied again nnd again , its adhesive power becoming less and less until at last it refused Ui stick. By tills time the patient fell off into a heavy sleep , only to wako to u coiibclousness of restored health , lie lived for thirty years after the event. It was thus that the btono which was only kept as n jobt became an object that money could not buy , From nil parts of the coast there were calls for the wonderful stono. Tlio family subse quently removed to Columbia county , in this btuto , whore for 100 years this stone has been an object of curiosity to physicians and people In general. Tlio recent history of this remarkable stone io quite as slning * . us that of its earlier yeans , curing the bites of mad dogs-and cats , and stiptJH ° * scorpions TIEEEI DNTETW" IBIEtllD 1 * SHOWING THE ADVANTAGES OF COUNCIL BLUFFS.

In 187 ! ! , Abe Lock- hart , n colored man in Columbia county , was bitten by a pilot snako. Tlio stone was applied to the bite. The wonderful part of the story is that the man , who nnd inherited scrofula , was cured of that disease , and lias had since no re turn of the malady. Seven yctu-s ago Shack Green , who lived nine miles away , was bitten by Oi rnUlcsnako. When found ho was unconscious. Ho was put into n , wagon and driven the nine miles to the homo of Mrs. Gibson. By that time the victim's leg was swol len to thrco times Its usual size. As soon ns the stone was applied It affected the sufferer precisely as it had its first subject , over a century before. A case which attracted widespread attention was that ot Mrs. Williams , who lived near the plantation of Gen eral Robert Toombs , in Wilkes countv. In 1881 Miss Williams was inoculated from virus obtained from a mnd cow. When the fact was discovered it sent a shock through the community. The lady's friends at once resolved to use. Mrs. Gibson'smadstonoifWhjch was en tirely successful in warding off the an ticipated danger. A strange case was that of the two grruidehildren of Mrs. McGinty , of NorwooU , who had been bitten nnd scratchdd f&irfully by a mad cat. The stone wits' ' applied to the two alternately. The | ChiJdren wore taken to the house by tbeir' two uncles , who , sixty years before , had been bit ten by mad dogs , and o\yed.hoir { . rescue to the same stone. i i ) In fact , there is hardly a * community in the Cnrolinns , Georgia and Alabama , in which tbo fame of this renowned stone has not been heard of. Fre quently the country homo of Mrs. Gib son , at Aopling , is survounued by ve hicles heaving the nfllictod from distant points anxious to bo resiofcd to health. SPECIALNOTICES. _ NOTIOK.
