Special meeting of the hoard of trade this evening lit K o'clock sharp. Every member is urged to he present , as mat ters of importance must ho considered. The fcociiil given by the Acme club at the Koyal Arcanum parlors Tuesday evening was a grand SUCCCSH in all re spects. The attendance was large and tno evening passed most cnjoyubly. The party at the residence of Mrs. Marshal Key , on Seventh street , last evening was a brilliant affair. The oc casion was the debut in society of the hostess' charming daughter , Miss Mary. Several nnonyinous communications for publication have been received at this ollieo , but it will he impossible to take any notice of any matter un less the full name of the author is ap pended. Mr. M. Gallagher and Miss Eva Gray wro : married by Hev. U. P. Mc-Me- nomy , Tuesday afternoon. A ball in honor of the , event was gi-cn in the spacious halls of St. Joseph's academy in the evening. The sewer opening at the corner of Eighth street and First avenue emits n , deadly smell. One would think that the alderman who parses there every evening would take steps to have the , nuisance abated. The Initial Paint market narrowly escaped being consumed Tuohday night. A timely discovery of the llames , by px- Chief Toinploton , who promptly applied a few pails of water , was all that averted n serious conllugration. The United Brethren in Christ so ciety , of Avoca. have Hied articles of incorporation with the county recorder. The incornorutors are S. II. , 'G. W. and Amos Poland , Joseph Mapes , A. A. Randall and Cyrus True. The saloon raiders were abroad in the land yesterday afternoon. Henry Hoist's plnco was visited , but the searchers found nothing with which to satisfy their thirst. Some of the liquor seized a few days ago at the bottling works of Soivors < fc Boyscn was ordered returned , as Justice Schuiv- declared the soixuro illegal. Deputy United States Marshal Dun can arrived in the city with one Homoo Smith , of Creston. charged with violating lating the internal revenue law by toll ing whisky without a license. Ho was examined before Commissioner Hunter and bound over to the next term of the United States court in the bum of $1100 , which ho furnished and was released. The printers have concluded that they can play as good ball as anybody , and will uicklo the Council Bluffs "pro fessionals , " otherwise "Rudio's dead game kickers , " on the Mnnawa diamond mend next Sunday afternoon at 8:80 : o'clock. Bets of ton to one in favor of the pr intern go begging , as no one cares to waste money on the "little fellers. " Marriage licenses were issued yester day to Charles McKown and Martha Gilmore , of this county ; Arthur New man and Cornelia Mnuk , of this county ; and Martin Dailoy and Ellen M. Sulli van , of this city. As Ellen was not of sufficiently advanced ago to satisfy the requirements of the law , her father was called upon to give his sanction to the wcddin g of his lifteon-ycar-old daughter. The Iowa state branch of the Wom an's Board of Foreign Missions of the Congregational church , has chosen Council BlulTs as its place of meeting October 10 and 11. Many of the most intelligent ladies of the state are en gaged in this work , and doubtless the eossion of the board will bo full of in terest and profit to Christian people of nil denominations. The meeting will be open to all , both ladies and gentlemen. Mrs. Elizabeth Wageck has filed an information against Mary Allen , charg ing her with assault and battorv. The former trespassed on the hitter's dooryard - yard , and the resentment d\io to the of fense was expressed in a blow over the head with a piece of board. The case has not boon set for trial as yet , owing to the illness of Mrs. Allen's child. All of the parties live in the southern part of the city , near Strrtul's brii'kyurd. M. J. Mueller has received a private letter from his son , Charles , who is in Chicago. Ho says that "last Saturday I wont out to Chultonhnm iioach to hoar Thurmnn speak. The meeting was hold in a largo hall , around three sides of whk h ran a bar. About all I could hoar was : 'Fine beers hero.1 'Wlmt'll you take.1 The enthusiasm was intense and the applause uproarious , and the more beers drank the more it became BO. " The fast mail coming west on the Chicago cage , Burlington & Quincy Tuesday afternoon , just after leaving Creston , struck a couple of cows , actually smash ing them into mince meat. The loco motive , on its arrival at the transfer , looked as though it had run through a slaughter house , and .tho entire engine being covered with blood and the re mains of a cow , and ovou the engineer's face was bespattered with the blood of the chopped up bovine.

HAVE WE A LEGAL GRAND JURY ? The District Court The Organ Con cert ItciirolioiiHlble Snooting Homo AVIio Are In Court Others Who Ought Xo Uc. The District Court Convenes. The August term of the district court is now opened , : tnd has fairly started in on the long list of cases to be ground out before the opening of the Novem ber term. Tuesday morning at 10 o'clock was the time set tor opening the term , but Judge Loofbourow was not on hand , and the matter was postponed until yesterday morning. At that time court was opened in the usual form , but his honor being still absent , an ad journment was taken until 2 o'clock in the afternoon. At that hour the court took his seat , and in u very few minutes the routine work of the lirst day of the term was in full blast. There nro now twenty-eight prisoners in the county jail , tiwalting the action of this body , besides a large number who are out on bail , and several origi nal informations will also be brought to the attention of the grand jury. The calendar was gone through , and eve v- thlng put in smooth running oroer. The remainder of this week will bo devoted - voted to the hearing of equity causes. Next Monday the petit jury will bo called. There arc (170 ( cases on the docket 82 criminal , 2 < tl equity , and 347 law causes. Trial notices have boon served in sixty-three equity and ninety law causes. The court empanelled the grand jury , but a legal question then came up that stopped all operations in that direction. At the last session of the legislature an act was passed allowing the east end of the county to hold grand jury sessions , in connection with the term of the dis- U'iet court at that place. Among the members of the present grand jury are several from the eastern part of the county , and a question of their eligibil ity now comes up. If they are to have a grand jury at Avoca , it'is argued that they have no place on a jury in Council BlulTs. The court took the matter under advisement , and will pass upon it to-day. In the meantime the men .summoned to servo arc en joying a vacation. Fresh Blent Wanted.

Louie was returning from Lake Man awn Tuesday evening ho was met by three men in a wagon near the bridge , about half way between the lake and the city. Two of the party ap peared to bo sober , hut the third fellow was evidently raving drunk. As Mr. Louie passed the wagon this third party gave vent to a volley of obscene lan guage. Mr. Louie paid no attention to the insult , but kept on his way. The trio had boon left in the roar not more than fifty yards , when the drunken man alighted from the wagon nnd , drawing a revolver , fired two shots at Mr. Louie , the first ono passing uncomfortably close to his head. Mr. Louie whipped up his horse and soon got away from the roughs. He saw a pool of blood in the road a little further on , and looking around to ascertain the cause , ho dis covered a bull lying at the side of the road writhing in the agonies of death from a bullet wound. Mr. Louie told the authorities of the occurrence as soon as ho arrived in the city.

How III ; ; Money In Aliiilo Money safely invested is the greatest 'money maker" in the world. Through thfs process , investing the money of de positors , banking institutions become Iveulthy , while the ' 'depositor" gets ittlo return from his money. Is there not some wnv by which these legitimate earnings can come back to the "de positor. " where they properly belong ? Wo answer , there is. The National Building , Loan and Protective union , of Minneapolis , Minn. , has solved the H'oblom and devised the best scheme of 'banking" known to the world. Here s the plan : A person subscribes for from ono to ono hundred shares of stock. Tlieso shares are $100 each and mature in GO nonths. Ho pays as follows : Membeiship fee $ > ,00 Monthly payment , COo per mouth (00 ( months ) 30.00 Quarterly payment , lioo per quarter ( 'M quarters ) 5.00 Total $411.00 Thus at the end of live years ( CO months ) the certificate of shares having matured , is worth $100 , showing a hand some profit of $57.00 on every share ho takes. Don't say this earning is im possible , for it is being demonstrated every day of the year. Now , suppose a subscriber wishes to secure ft loan of $1,000. Ho subscribes "or thirteen shares of stock nnd must bo a member at least six months prior to making the loan. Ho pays as follows : In fifty-four months , quarterly in stallments $ 871.20 Add eighteen quarterlies uty.li5 each C8.50 Attorney fees 10.00 Advanced payments durinK first six months 70.80 Total $1,019.00 His thirteen shares are now worth their face value , $1,800 , which leaves him a not profit of $281. All will agree that this is a better return on money than can bo secured by any other plan. The character of its investments makes it absolutely safe. Although this organization is less than three years old , its shareholders are numbered in nearly every state in the union. There are now several in this city. Among thorn nro Thomas Officer , James R. Rico , Harry McGee , Taylor Woolsoy and others , whether you wish to either deposit or secure a loan , you should investigate this plan fully. Johnston & Van Patten , 8:5 : Main street , will furnish you all necessary in formation. Go to the social entertainment at 725 Mynstor street , Augii'-t 31 , for the bou- oilt of the Christian Homo.

THE POOLOFB.ETHESDA It Has Ilcen Discovered nt Ijast AVitli Considerable Certainty. Pall Mall Gazette : "Wo nave gen erally an announcement to make , but not often of so much importance as that of this day. It is the discovery of the pool of Bethosda. " So writes Mr. Waiter - tor Bosunt , in the Quarterly Statement , issued by the Palestine Exploration Fund. lie is jubilant , as all Palestine enthusiasts are Jikoly to bo , that a vexed question in regard to a site is ap parently sottlcd forovcr. Bethesda is mentioned only * by the evangelist. In the fifth chapter of Ilis gospel John says : "Now there is at Jerusalem by the sheep market [ or gate ] a pool which is called in the He brew tongue , having five porches. " The word translated "pool" in the author ized version is given by some authori ties as "swimming oath , " and the phrase "pool by the sheep market" ie possibly bettor rendered "shcop pool. " Euscbius explains the occasional red color of the water of this "sheep pool" as being a trace ol the carcasses of sheep washed in it before sacrifice ; hence the name. There were , according to the evangel ist , five porches , or porticoes around the pool. These , Dr. Goikie thinks , charity built for the accommodation of sufferers. It scorns to us , however , equally probable that they formed part of the original scheme for the bath. Five porticoes would boom to imply a pentagonal structure , but this is by no means essential. A rectangular pool , with a portico on every side , divided by ono across the middle , would answer the description. "Bothesda" ( a Hebrew - brow name which was very probably in vented by John ) may menu either "house of morcy" or "tho place of the pouring forth" of water. At the northeast of modern Jeru salem , close to St. Stephen's Gate stands the church of St. Anno. At th < time of the Crimean war it was a ruined nosquo , but when the French came nto possession of it they restored the church and handed it over to the Al gerian monks. It is near the church of it. Anne , and in connection with oxen- ( ( lions made around it , it was that the cul pool of Bethesda has re cently been discovered by Ilerr Conrad Schlck. There is a courtyard to the northwest of the church , which loads through a newly opened passage into another courtyard some fifty foot square. At the north of his latter court yard there was at onetime time a small church. Beneath the floor of this some time church are vaults , and , hrough the floor of those vaults a cls- crn is reached , cut into the rock n lopth of thirty foot. The cistern is a > ortton of the original Pool of Bothesda. There is still water in it , but it is diffi cult to say whence it comes. This , in jrlof , is Ilerr Schick's report of April 6. Since then further excavations have jecn mndo , nnd ho has prosecuted more extended inquiries. A twin pool has jcon discovered. Further examination will bring more details to light ; but it may bo now fairly assumed that the two lools , tanks , or cisterns thus discovered eall.y constitute the Pool of Bothesdn , "having five porches , " where Christ healed n paralytic of eight and thirty years' standing. DlninoiulH In the Wnsli. Philadelphia Press : "Have you the tiundle I sent hoio this morning ? " a ood-looking young woman asked as she rushed into Cox's laundry atThirtconth ind Oxford streets last Friday morning. She was greatly excited and almost breathless. The young woman was Mrs. II. Reed , who explained that she had sent $1,000 worth of diamonds to the laundry in n bundle of soiled clothes. Mrs. Cox told her that the driver , Charles Roberts , had not yet returned - turned to the office. The excited young \\oinun became palo as slio received this information , and could scarcely restrain hersolf. She paced the Horn * for an hour and a half , anxiously wait ing to secure her bundle again. The driver finally arrived , and ns each bundle came from the wagon her eyes glistened. She quickly tore open the bundle marked with her name , and n an old felt hat were sparkling diamond mend studs , diamond breastpins , nnd diamond earrings and finger ringn , which she afterward said were worth $1,000. The laundry girls stood as if transfixed , with open mouths nud hun gry eyes as the diamonds wore display ed. Mrs. Reed said that she was from Now York , and had hidden the hat with the diamonds in her soiled clothes for safety. She wont away with her face beaming. A Itnsli Prediction Fulfilled. Scribner's Magazine : When the roads forming the line between Phila delphia and Hnrrisburg Pennsylvania , were chartered in 1833 , and town meet ings wore hold to discuss their practi cability , the Hon. Simon Cameron , while making a speech in advocacy of the measure , was so far carried away by his enthusiasm as to make the rash prediction that there wore persons within the sound of his voice who would live to sco a passenger take his break fast in Hnrribburg and his supner in Philadelphia on the same nay. A friend of his on the platform said to him after ho had finished , "That's all very well , Simon , to toll the boys , but you and I aro.do such infernal fools as to believe it. " They have both lived to travel the distance in a little over two hours. In another column of thisissuo will bo found an entirely new and novel speci men of attractive advertising.

After the visitor had spent a couple of weeks , his much- disgusted host said ono morning nt the breakfast table : "Dear cousin , don't you think your family will miss you painfully ?
